Immortal Life: Starting with Daily Last Words

The next day, at dawn.

After a day and a night of recovery, Yu Daoxuan's body was filled with magical power, his essence, energy and spirit were refined and full, and he returned to his peak condition.

Remove the formation and exit the cave.

The Demon-Slaying Ridge was even more bustling than the day before.

Numerous sects, families, and independent cultivators set off towards the mountains one after another, all having heard that Ding Zhen had appeared there and coming to kill and plunder.

Yu Daoxuan no longer concealed his cultivation level and headed towards the exit of the mountain range.

At the same time, they became increasingly cautious, always avoiding crowded mountain paths and trying their best not to come into contact with or clash with any cultivators.

After stealthily making their way through a dark, dense forest filled with ancient trees and miasma, they sensed five powerful auras ahead.

"These five must be the Five Tigers of Zhuyou."

Yu Daoxuan thought to himself.

He had never heard of the five people before, but judging from the aura they exuded, they should all be at the late stage of Qi Refining.

Since there was no way to detour through this area, and Yu Daoxuan had other plans, he went straight through the jungle.

Looking up, five figures stood across the woods ahead, exuding arrogance and with fierce expressions.

The five noticed the commotion and stared at Yu Daoxuan, who was walking alone, with hostile eyes, scrutinizing him from head to toe.

The atmosphere tensed up almost instantly.

"Three Qi Refining Level 9 experts and two Qi Refining Level 8 experts."

Yu Daoxuan quickly glanced at them and immediately determined the cultivation levels of the five people.

Since the real show hadn't started yet, he didn't make any rash moves and walked straight past the five people.

When the Five Tigers of Zhuyou saw Yu Daoxuan walking straight towards them without flinching, a fierce glint flashed in their eyes, and they gripped their blood-stained magic weapons tightly in their hands.

Just as Yu Daoxuan brushed past the five people not far away, a rough and domineering voice rang out.

"Hey, you pale-faced brat, stop right there!" The burly, dark-faced man stepped forward. "Be smart and hand over your storage bag, or I'll spare your life."

The Five Tigers of Zhuyou realized that Yu Daoxuan was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining and was all alone, and instantly harbored evil intentions.

The other four dispersed, forming a swarm that blocked Yu Daoxuan's escape route. They were clearly accustomed to robbery and their methods were skillful and ruthless.

A cold, strange light flashed in Yu Daoxuan's eyes.

He didn't expect that before he even thought about taking action, the other party would cause him trouble.

Seeing that he did not respond, the burly man with the dark face continued walking.

With a cold snort, he suddenly burst forth, his giant axe wielding a fierce and powerful force, aiming straight for Yu Daoxuan's back.

Yu Daoxuan was prepared for the surprise attack.

He quickly turned and retreated, simultaneously unleashing the Chongming Sword to meet the opponent's giant axe.

He could tell that these five men were clearly desperate criminals.

These kinds of people act erratically and recklessly, caring nothing for your status. As long as you're not stronger than them, they'll do anything.

Therefore, he went all out from the start, wanting to intimidate his opponent.

"Bang!"

The crimson sword pillar transformed from the Chongming Sword suddenly collided with the giant axe magic weapon, and the powerful force sent the giant axe flying.

One move and the difference in skill is immediately apparent!

When Wan Qizhang, the leader of the Five Tigers, known as "Descending Tiger," saw that the other party had blocked his third brother's attack with ease, his pupils immediately contracted and he was startled.

He could tell that the pale-faced cultivator in front of him, who appeared to be only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, was actually quite powerful, far surpassing ordinary cultivators of the same level, and was by no means an easy target.

Feeling apprehensive, he quickly raised his hand to stop the other four who were about to attack.

"stop!"

"This fellow Daoist is quite powerful; we were simply blind. Let's call it quits today, and you may do as you please."

Although the remaining four tigers were unwilling, they knew they had met a tough opponent, so they reluctantly suppressed their killing intent and retreated to the side.

Yu Daoxuan remained indifferent, said nothing, and turned to leave.

But he thought coldly to himself: I'll let you go for now, and settle accounts with you later.

"Brother, are we just going to let him go like this? That pale-faced kid is quite strong, but if the five of us attack together, we can definitely kill him."

The burly, dark-faced man who had attacked earlier expressed slight dissatisfaction.

"Yes, I think that person came from the depths of Zhanmo Ridge, so he must have a lot of spiritual items on him."

"That pale-faced boy is quite handsome; he must be quite charming."

One of them, a round-faced man with a thick beard, licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with lust.

"The important matter is our mission. Our main task here is to intercept and kill Princess Nihuang, who has gone out without permission. As for that brat, we can kill him if we encounter him again after we finish our business."

"The Tiger Descending the Mountain," Wan Qizhang said with a serious expression.

"Tsk tsk, these royal families aren't any better. The eldest prince of Zhennan actually paid a lot of money to have his cousin killed."

"Alright, there are too many people around right now, let's find that girl as soon as possible."

Upon hearing their elder brother's words, the other four immediately turned fierce and set off to search.

"I see!"

In the nearby forest, a figure hidden in the shadows of the treetops overheard some of the five people's conversation.

As soon as Yu Daoxuan was out of sight of the other party, he immediately activated the Hidden Dragon Stone Cicada and quietly returned.

Hearing this conversation, he instantly understood.

The Qingyuan Sect has long had clear regulations that all inner disciples must memorize the information of the people in the major Purple Mansion forces and above in the Song Kingdom, so as to avoid causing trouble and implicating the sect.

The Zhennan Prince's Mansion is one of the royal forces of the Song Kingdom, with a fake Core Formation cultivator and many Purple Mansion cultivators, making it far stronger than the Qingyuan Sect.

Throughout history, the struggle for power among kings and noble families has always been ruthless and merciless.

In the struggle for power and profit, it is common for brothers to kill each other in secret, which is not surprising.

Seeing that the Five Tigers of Zhuyou had left, Yu Daoxuan did not continue to pursue them.

The five men appeared to be ruthless bandits who frequented the mountains and forests, skilled at hiding and escaping. Continuing to pursue them would easily alert them and create unforeseen complications.

More importantly, according to the secret instructions of the Golden Stele, he encountered five people chasing Princess Nihuang in the Blackwater Pool area.

Rather than chasing the enemy in vain, it's better to wait patiently for them to come to you.

Once Yu Daoxuan made up his mind, he immediately concealed his aura, changed direction, and sped toward the Blackwater Pool.

On the way to Blackwater Pool, Yu Daoxuan still encountered some teams that had broken into Demon Slaying Ridge, as well as cultivators who were going into the mountain alone.

The cultivators in these teams are all quite strong, almost all of them being at or above the late stage of Qi Refining.

Unlike the Five Tigers of Zhu You, these people did not act recklessly. Yu Daoxuan traveled along the way without any incident.

Only a few ferocious demonic beasts lurked and attacked him, but fortunately they were all first-tier demonic beasts, which were relatively easy to deal with, and he was not injured.

Upon arriving at Blackwater Pool, we found a secluded cave nearby and hid there.

He set up the Gathering Yuan and Circulating Spirit Array and began to wait for his prey to come to him.

As night fell, the mountains and forests were shrouded in mist, the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, and the forest was dark and gloomy, with the occasional low roar of a beast echoing through the air.

As night deepened, a rapid whooshing sound suddenly broke the silence of the mountains and forests, accompanied by weak gasps and sharp magical roars.

Yu Daoxuan immediately activated the Hidden Dragon Stone Cicada, concealed all his aura, and silently walked out of the cave to look around.

In the dark, dense forest, a young girl in a flowing, cloud-patterned fairy dress staggered towards them, her skirt stained with blood and her hair disheveled.

The woman possessed an ethereal beauty, with lively and expressive eyes. Even though she was severely injured and her face was pale, her stunning charm was still undeniable.
