“This mystic realm is not that simple. It will probably be even more dangerous towards the back. Everyone, be more careful,” Mei Zhen said.
Ye Yuan did not speak, but in truth, he also had a forewarning.
Ye Yuan could skate around dangers related to natural treasures. But he was ultimately mortal and not a god. He had no way of grasping some unknown threats.
Not knowing why, Ye Yuan kept having a feeling that he was being monitored.
But no matter how he observed, he could not find any inkling of it. This sort of feeling like having a prickle on his back made him feel very uneasy.
“Hehe, I wonder if Junior Apprentice Brother Ye can break through to the Crystal Formation Realm inside this mystic realm. If he can break through to the Crystal Formation Realm, our Tranquil Cloud Sect ‘s strength will soar dramatically!” Tian Yu suddenly said with a laugh.
“Yeah. Junior Apprentice Brother Ye’s cultivation speed is too freakish. He had just broken through three realms in the sect grand competition. It’s only been a dozen days or so, and he broke through again to the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!”
“If he can break through to the Crystal Formation Realm, with the suppression of realms inside this mystic realm, even if he confronted a Sea Transformation Realm expert, he would have no fear.”
The essence energy inside this mystic realm was abundant. Ye Yuan originally reached the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm bottleneck already. After a few days of fighting and absorbing essence energy, he finally took advantage of an opportunity yesterday and broke through to the Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm.
This was naturally good news to the Tranquil Cloud Sect group.
Ye Yuan’s greatest shortfall was his realm. Once his realm could rise up, the Tranquil Cloud Sect would become much more confident.
They chatted and laughed and were just about to head into the deep regions of the grass plain when alarm bells started going off.
Their field of vision was suddenly filled with a dark mass as it surged over here.
“W-What’s that?”
In a blink of an eye, that dark mass showed itself in front of everybody. The Tranquil Cloud Sect group finally made out what those were.
“Bloodthirsty Skywolf! It’s Bloodthirsty Skywolf! My god, there are so many Bloodthirsty Skywolves!” Somebody cried out.
Mei Zhen evidently recognized them too as he said in a grave voice, “The Bloodthirsty Skywolf’s personality is extremely savage. Once tangled with them, it will be to the death! Our headcount is too little, best to not face them head-on. Quickly withdraw!”
They were just about to turn around when they heard a holler, “Is that friends from the Tranquil Cloud Sect over there? I beg you all to lend us a hand! The Purple Mansion Sect will be indebted forever!”
“Ah!”
At virtually the same time, a disciple who lagged behind the Purple Mansion Sect was caught up by the wolf pack which chomped on his leg as he cried out miserably.
The wolf pack completely did not give him any chance to retaliate. Several more Bloodthirsty Skywolves bit down on his four limbs. He could not shake them off no matter how he tried.
In just a few short breaths of time, that Purple Mansion Sect disciple was torn into ribbons, alarming the Tranquil Cloud Sect group who was watching greatly.
The group only saw clearly now that turns out this group of Bloodthirsty Skywolves was tracking down the Purple Mansion Sect people over here.
Ye Yuan smiled bitterly and said, “Too late, can’t leave anymore!”
The Tranquil Cloud Sect people were stunned. Only now did they discover that many Bloodthirsty Skywolfs appeared all around from god knows where. They actually surrounded them!
And at this time, the Purple Mansion Sect disciples had already converged with the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple. The two teams were encircled like prey by over a hundred Bloodthirsty Skywolfs.
Mei Zhen shot a glare at the person who shouted out just now. If not for his yell, the wolf pack would not have completed the encirclement, and the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples would not have gotten caught in danger.
The person who yelled out was a young man, Eighth Level Crystal Formation Realm cultivation, even higher than Mo Yuntian.
Seemingly detecting Mei Zhen’s unfriendly eyes, he was fully apologetic as he said, “Elder Mei, this Junior is also at the end of my ropes; that’s why I did that! My Purple Mansion Sect had over ten people, but now, there are only these four or five people left. Even Elder Xu also died under heavenly tribulation. As long as Elder Mei can rescue us, we’ll definitely compensate you heavily! If we’re fortunate enough to escape this mystic realm, Junior Lin Chao will definitely report truthfully to Sect Master. I believe that Sect Master will express gratitude to the Tranquil Cloud Sect!”
Mei Zhen’s face was dark as he snorted coldly and said, “It already came to this, do we still have a way out? Eliminate these Bloodthirsty Skywolves first then talk!”
Lin Chao was overjoyed when he heard this. “Many thanks to Elder Mei for saving us! Junior is eternally grateful! But later on, when Elder Mei is attacking, you must not use Sea Transformation Realm strength. Otherwise, it will bring down heavenly tribulation!”
Mei Zhen nodded slightly and said, “Of course, I know that! Tranquil Cloud Sect disciple listen up! Set up the Eight Gates Gold Lock Formation. You all each guard one area. Take heed not to let the wolf pack break in. As for the Purple Mansion Sect people, you guys enter the formation first and rest a while, then come and assist us.”
Mei Zhen could tell at a glance that these remaining disciples from the Purple Mansion Sect were already a spent force and was unable to sustain much longer.
Rather than letting them join the battle, might as well rest a while then join in.
The Eight Gates Gold Lock Formation was only an ordinary joint attack formation. Most great sect disciples knew it.
Although this formation’s strength was not great, it was very practical in such a messy fight so as to not get taken down one by one by the wolf pack.
Of course, how long it could defend for was another question.
After all, these Bloodthirsty Skywolves were all at the early-stage Tier 3 realm!
A hundred early-stage Tier 3 Bloodthirsty Skywolfs was absolutely a nightmare-like existence. Otherwise, these Purple Mansion Sect disciples would not have fled so miserably.
With Mei Zhen’s command, the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples each laid out the formation to welcome the enemy.
They also knew that this was an extremely dangerous juncture and must not be careless.
But Ye Yuan’s attention was placed on that Lin Chao the entire time.
Though it was only a few words from start to finish, Ye Yuan could sense that he was a guy with extremely deep schemes.
From when the wolf pack showed up to now, it seemed very coincidental, but Ye Yuan had a feeling that this was all deliberately done with Lin Chao!
No other reason. Just because that yell earlier was too coincidental.
Chapter 308

The timing of that yell was grasped perfectly, making the Tranquil Cloud Sect lose the last chance to escape.
Of course, every man for himself. There was nothing wrong with Lin Chao purposely dragging the Tranquil Cloud Sect down into the water. But the reminder to Mei Zhen later on appeared too fake.
They had already entered the mystic realm for such a long time. The dangers that each sect faced was too many to count.
If Ye Yuan’s conjectures were right, each sect’s Sea Transformation Realm elder were pretty much all dead already.
There were most likely only the Heavenly Sky Sect and Tranquil Cloud Sect these two sects who were fully intact.
If it was just to stay alive, no harm in scheming a little. But Ye Yuan feared that this Lin Chao had malicious intentions.
Compared to demonic beasts, humans were unmi
stakably scarier.
The Purple Mansion Sect was the number two great sect in the Southern Domain, second only to the Heavenly Sky Sect. But they only sent one Sea Transformation Realm elder here this time. It more or less seemed somewhat odd.
To this end, Ye Yuan naturally paid attention to it.
The Bloodthirsty Skywolves did not immediately attack. They just surrounded everyone.
Eight people were trapped by a hundred Bloodthirsty Skywolves. This sort of pressure was too intense. Many Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples could not help feeling a little parched.
“Surrounding but not attacking. They are playing mental warfare! Hur hur, such clever demonic beasts!” Ye Yuan said calmly.
The Tranquil Cloud Sect group were shocked before recovering only now and could not help feeling deeply ashamed. Humans nearly falling for demonic beasts’ strategy. Saying it out loud was overly humiliating.
Lin Chao who was presently meditating in the circle could not resist sizing up Ye Yuan while Ye Yuan’s gaze also just happened to look over at this time. The pair smiled when their eyes met.
The two people’s smiles both had deep meaning behind it.
Right then, the wolf pack automatically divided. A Bloodthirsty Skywolf that was fire-red from head to toe walked out of the wolf pack.
Everyone’s pupils involuntarily constricted when they saw it.
That was the wolf king, Bloodthirsty Wolf King!
Peak Tier 3 existence!
Everyone believed that if not for the restrictions imposed by the Heavenly Thunder Essence Locking Grand Array, this wolf king would absolutely be a Tier 4 existence!
The Bloodthirsty Wolf King was awe-inspiring. The aura on his body was even stronger than Mei Zhen.
But he did not bother with the Tranquil Cloud Sect group. He just stared fixedly at Lin Chao with scorching eyes.
It was as if Lin Chao did not detect it at all. He was making the best use of his time as before to recover his strength.
But this scene was taken in by the Tranquil Cloud Sect people. An unusual thought involuntarily birthed in the minds of the disciples.
“Seniors, stop fantasizing. The Bloodthirsty Skywolves are naturally savage and will not let us go. Discuss the Purple Mansion Sect matters afterward. If we don’t exert our utmost effort, we’ll only end up in the wolves’ mouths eventually!” Ye Yuan raised his voice and said.
Mo Yuntian and the rest only came around now and could not help being dumbstruck.
This wolf king was simply even more cunning than humans. Just one look and it caused a chink to form between the two great sects!
If there were no reminder from Ye Yuan, they would definitely have some misgivings during the battle. That look from the wolf king was clearly to make the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples think that the wolf pack was just here for the Purple Mansion Sect and had nothing to do with the Tranquil Cloud Sect!
With this sort of psychological hint, would the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples still defend the Purple Mansion Sect to the death?
The wolf king obviously heard Ye Yuan’s voice too, his gaze landing on this young Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist with unkind eyes.
Both schemes were spoiled by this young man. This wolf clear had clearly become enraged too.
Seeing the wolf king’s eyes, Mei Zhen secretly thought shit! He hurriedly said, “Leave the wolf king to me, each of you takes care of yourselves! You whelping from the Purple Mansion Sect, quickly take the time to recover your strength. If someone can’t endure it on our side, immediately help out!”
Lin Chao nodded and said, “Rest assured, Elder Mei!”
The wolf king saw that there were no opportunities to take advantage of and also gave up on scheming. He gave a long howl.
This was apparently the signal for the wolf pack to attack!
After those Bloodthirsty Skywolves heard this howl, each one of them was like on stimulants as they charged towards the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples without heed for their lives.
Mei Zhen wielded his sword but rushed to the wolf king first to fight him.
This wolf king was very sentient. He was worried about the wolf king retaliating Ye Yuan.
But even so, Ye Yuan’s side was still being heavily taken care of by ordinary Bloodthirsty Skywolves!
It was very obvious that the wolf king had issued an order to kill Ye Yuan first!
Actually, at this time, the Tranquil Cloud Sect peoples’ conditions were not too good. They had just fought a great battle with the Nine Serene Ice Lion not long before, and some disciples were still wounded.
But the Tranquil Cloud Sect fought with greater numbers previously. Everyone’s losses were not great.
Lin Chao mediated to recover essence energy while secretly observing these Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples’ strength.
Although Tian Yu’s realm was the lowest inside, he had comprehended the elementary form of true intent. After breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm, his combat power was tremendous. One person handling seven to eight Bloodthirsty Skywolves was not an issue.
Ti Wujiu was Third Level Crystal Formation Realm, but his fist intent realm was similarly very high!
Only to see him throw fist after fist solidly. Those Bloodthirsty Skywolves were actually unable to approach him!
As a Seventh Level Crystal Formation Realm expert, Mo Yuntian’s strength barred no questions.
Rather, it was the other few Crystal Formation Realm martial artists who appeared to be struggling.
His gaze finally stopped on Ye Yuan, and his expression involuntarily choked up.
Although he guessed that Ye Yuan definitely had abilities surpassing others to enter the mystic realm with Spirit Condensation Realm strength, he could not have imagined that Ye Yuan was actually so strong!
There were over a dozen Bloodthirsty Skywolves surrounding Ye Yuan alone, but he relied on one sword to slaughter his way in and out as he liked. Those dozen over Bloodthirsty Skywolves were unable to do anything to him.
After a dozen over exchanges, Ye Yuan was perfectly fine, but quite a few of those Bloodthirsty Skywolves were wounded!
These were Tier 3 demonic beasts!
Each one of them was existences like human Crystal Formation Realm martial artists!
An Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm brat could actually treat it like there was nobody in this place under these demonic beasts’ combined attacks!
If one were to say that an Eighth Level Spirit Condensation Realm crossed ranks to battle one or two Tier 3 demonic beasts, that was still passable. But being surrounded by over a dozen demonic beasts, that was absolutely a quantitative to qualitative change; pressure changed abruptly!
Furthermore, a Bloodthirsty Skywolf’s speed was abnormally fast. Ordinary martial artists were simply unable to keep up. But Ye Yuan actually twisted and turned around inside effortlessly!
When did such a monstrous existence appear in the Tranquil Cloud Sect?
That Bloodthirsty Wolf King was in the midst of an intense battle with Mei Zhen. But when he detected the situation over on Ye Yuan’s side, he howled again.
This time, even more Bloodthirsty Skywolves surged towards Ye Yuan’s side!
With this, the pressure over at Ye Yuan’s seniors’ side inadvertently lessened.
While on Ye Yuan’s side, the number of Bloodthirsty Skywolves increased to over twenty all at once!
“Be careful, Ye Yuan!” Mo Yuntian could not help being worried when he saw the situation.
He was fenced in by two middle-stage Bloodthirsty Skywolves and several early-stage Bloodthirsty Skywolves over here and could not extricate himself at all.
Ti Wujiu’s and Tian Yu’s sides were the same. Though the Bloodthirsty Skywolves could not do anything to them, they were helpless against the Bloodthirsty Skywolves too.
And Ye Yuan’s side was already completely flooded with Bloodthirsty Skywolves!
When Mei Zhen saw this state of affairs, his forehead was full o
f sweat from anxiety, and he yelled at Lin Chao, “Lin Chao, how long do you want to wait to make a move?!”
Chapter 309
Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor
The Bloodthirsty Wolf King’s combat strength was extraordinarily powerful. Mei Zhen was suppressed at peak Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm to battle it but was facing dangers everywhere!
With this holler, he nearly let the wolf king grasp an opportunity to catch him with its claws.
Bu Lin Chao smiled calmly and said, “Don’t get anxious, Elder Mei; this junior isn’t at the end of his ropes yet.”
“Lin Chao, you!”
Mei Zhen was nearly infuriated until he coughed blood. He did not manage to avoid the wolf king’s metal claw this time, and his arm took a hit. Blood started flowing instantly.
Mei Zhen clenched his jaws and really wanted to erupt with Sea Transformation Realm strength. But the warning left behind by Wang Fan was still vivid in his mind. Sea Transformation Realm strength simply could not be used!
With this confusion, Mei Zhen was immediately suppressed by the wolf king and fell in a disadvantageous position in all aspects.
Although this Bloodthirsty Wolf King’s strength could not compare to that Nine Serene Ice Lion from before, it was still slightly stronger than Mei Zhen who suppressed at the Crystal Formation Realm.
Right then, Ye Yuan who was engulfed by the wolf pack suddenly exploded with multiple rays of pale yellow light!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The sound of a series of sword beams piercing the skin spread out. Then, a number of Bloodthirsty Skywolves went flying out. The wolf pack’s siege crumbled all at once.
“Ye Yuan! It’s great that you’re okay!” Mo Yuntian was elatedly seeing the situation.
Ye Yuan called out, “Elder Mei and Senior Apprentice Brother do not need to worry about me. I have no problems protecting myself.”
While talking, Ye Yuan released several more sword beams again. A number of Bloodthirsty Skywolves were speared flying again.
The eruption on Ye Yuan’s side finally stirred the Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples’ fighting spirit. Each one of them released their combat strength to the fullest and actually suppressed a hundred Bloodthirsty Skywolves with only eight people’s strength!
