Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

Looking at Ye Liuyun and his group, they had already killed several waves of monsters, with each of them hunting down at least twenty.

Such a speed is definitely among the best in the entire ancient forest. However, as they ventured deeper into the ancient forest, they began to see more and more cultivators around them.

Of course, cultivators who don't usually have any conflicts will simply separate immediately if they meet, to avoid any clashes.

Ye Liuyun and his group also encountered several groups of cultivators from outside the four major sects of the Northern Region, but fortunately, no conflict broke out. It had only been less than two hours since the incident began, and they would not choose to hunt down other cultivator groups.

Because at the beginning, the group wouldn't have many prey on them, and most importantly, there were too many uncertainties in fighting cultivators.

How can you guarantee that you can defeat the cultivator you want to kill?

As for why we're encountering more and more people, it's because they've already left the outer area.

This is normal. Most of the demonic beasts in the ancient forest live in the inner area, while only a small number of demonic beasts live in the outer area. The further you go into the inner area, the more demonic beasts and cultivators you will find.

"Boom!"

As they walked, Ye Liuyun and his companions heard a series of booming sounds coming from ahead. Without even looking, they knew that there were cultivators fighting ahead.

The group immediately stopped.

"Hey, it looks like there's a fight going on up ahead. Let's go check it out; maybe we can snag a bargain." Ye Liuyun said to Lin Aoxue and the others with a grin.

After saying that, the four of them nodded at the same time, and then, under Ye Liuyun's command, they took the invisibility pills again, jumped onto the tree trunk, and stealthily moved forward at a steady speed.

After walking for about 300 meters, the five people stopped. They looked ahead and saw a deciduous forest where a group was fighting a demon beast at the late stage of the Dao Palace realm.

"There are so many insects here. Have we wandered into an insect nest?" Ye Liuyun noticed that the place was filled with black beetles from all directions.

Many more landed on them, and Ye Liuyun, who disliked these things, quickly reached out and shooed the insects away.

This ancient forest is different from other places; it has the most insects and monsters.

So the monster they fought was a giant beetle monster, resembling a longhorn beetle, with its body covered in purple-gold. This beetle monster was caught in a large net, but unfortunately, it was easily torn to shreds.

Around her were many weaker Dao Palace demonic beasts, but unfortunately, these beasts suffered heavy losses as soon as they got close to the group. After losing several mid-stage and early-stage Dao Palace demonic beasts, the Beetle King ordered them to leave the battlefield.

This beetle king must be their ancestor. At this level, they all possess their own intelligence and naturally do not want their descendants to be wiped out.

"You take them and leave this place. I will fight them myself," the beetle king said in a deep voice to the weak beetle monsters behind him.

Upon hearing the command, the beetle monsters quickly transformed into human form.

"Ancestor, you..." These insect demons knew that once they left, their ancestor would surely die if he were to fight these few types of creatures alone.

"Hmph! You little monsters, none of you are leaving." The cultivators in this group said, and tried to intercept the fleeing monsters.

Unfortunately, the beetle king suddenly opened its mouth and made a strange sound. The sound was so piercing that it made the six people unable to move.

"Stop talking nonsense and get going!" the Beetle King roared again.

His descendants then fled with expressions of grief and indignation.

As for her opponents, they were disciples of the Yin-Yang Harmony Palace, none of whom were weaker than her.

However, this beetle king is somewhat different from others, having almost reached the peak of the Dao Palace realm.

A demonic beast at the peak of the Dao Palace realm can withstand the attacks of an ordinary human cultivator in the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

"Damn it, a mere bug, daring to play such petty tricks. Fine, since you want to die, then stay here. Capturing you is comparable to taking ten or even twenty ordinary mid-stage Dao Palace demonic beasts." The leading disciple of the Yin Yang Dao Palace said coldly.

"Arrogant humans, I, an old man, will not let you get away with this even in death." The Beetle King flapped its wings, shooting out beams of purple demonic light, bombarding the area in front of it.

The disciples of the Yin-Yang Harmony Palace immediately dodged and looked for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Hey? Judging from their clothes, they're disciples of the Yin Yang He Dao Palace, one of the four major sects in the Northern Region, right?" Ye Liuyun asked Lin Aoxue and the others.

“It should be. I remembered the disciples’ uniforms from the four major sects last time. If that’s the case, then they are enemies, since the four major sects are all in cahoots.” Lin Aoxue said, preparing to make a move.

However, Ye Liuyun stopped him.

"Wait, wait a minute. Why are you in such a hurry? This beetle monster is still in a relatively strong position. We can make our move after they are both weakened," Ye Liuyun said.

“Third Sister is right, let’s take a look first.” Yan Yu also agreed with Ye Liuyun’s point of view.

Lin Aoxue has a rather indifferent personality. Anyway, if she were to go on a rampage, she would be able to deal with cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm. She has the capital to be reckless.

Looking at the group from the Yin-Yang Harmony Palace, they were actually quite strong. They quickly suppressed the beetle king, but the beetle's shell was incredibly hard, and their attacks were deflected when they hit it.

However, the Beetle King still suffered considerable damage and roared repeatedly.

In fact, if he didn't care about his descendants, he could have easily escaped. It's just that no one knows why he chose to cover the retreat himself and let the tribe evacuate.

It can only be said that monsters also have feelings, just like humans.

"Such a hard shell. We need to find its weakness and kill it in one blow. We can't waste too much time on this monster." The male cultivator leading the team said.

Of these six people, two were at the Nascent Soul stage and both had Yellow-level aptitude, while the other four were also at the Nascent Soul stage but had Purple-level aptitude.

The Yin-Yang Harmony Palace excels in the art of Yin-Yang combined attacks. The methods practiced by a man and a woman can always be fused together to generate greater power.

In short, a single disciple of the Yin-Yang Harmony Palace is not scary; it is pairs of them that are difficult to deal with.

"Why doesn't this big bug run away? If it does, these guys will have a hard time stopping it," Li Hanyu said, frowning.

But Ye Liuyun's next words made her fall into deep thought.

"He can certainly run away, but the problem is, if he runs away, what will happen to those in his clan who are at the mid-stage and early-stage Dao Palace?"

Li Hanyu, Yan Yu, and the others were slightly taken aback; this point, however, had enlightened them.

If it were them, and their descendants were attacked by a powerful enemy, they would probably risk their lives to fight back.

"These guys are tough to deal with. I think I should try my methods first and see if I can blow them up." Ye Liuyun said, preparing to throw the core again.

This method of discarding the core is currently the simplest and least strenuous, and the location is very suitable.

Lin Aoxue rolled her eyes immediately when she heard Ye Liuyun say that he would use his own methods.

"Hey! If you use your methods for everything, what are we supposed to do? We might as well split up and do our own thing," Lin Aoxue complained.

“Yes, we haven’t accomplished much along the way, and I’m itching to get started,” Yan Yu added.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun looked at her older sister and Lin Aoxue with a speechless expression. She suddenly felt that the two of them were birds of a feather, both being warmongers.

"Isn't it better to deal with them easily? Why make things so complicated with all the fighting and killing? You'll have plenty of fun in the next two levels. Let's do things my way first." Ye Liuyun disagreed with the two reckless men's idea.

As for Chen Yao and Li Hanyu, they tended to favor Ye Liuyun's method, but Li Hanyu was not in a position to express her opinion.

“I think Third Sister is right. You two have so much energy but nowhere to use it. These six people are definitely not easy to deal with. While their attention is on the monsters, we should use Little Sister's methods to attack them. That should be the simplest and most direct approach.” Chen Yao chose to support Ye Liuyun.

"This? Team Two, Sister Hanyu, which side's opinion do you support?" Ye Liuyun had no choice but to look at Li Hanyu.

Li Hanyu was stunned by Ye Liuyun's question, and she looked left and right.

"I, I don't care. I'm just following you guys around to accumulate points. Don't worry about my opinion, just pretend I don't exist," Li Hanyu quickly stated.

This is the smart approach—it avoids offending either side. After all, the four of them are in cahoots, so it doesn't matter whose opinion you listen to.

Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes at Li Hanyu.

"How disloyal! We were the first people I met after joining the Cloud Mist Sect, so we're practically friends, right? And yet you won't help me," Ye Liuyun complained.

Li Hanyu smiled faintly, indicating that she was innocent.

"Alright, Aoxue, let's play rock-paper-scissors. Whoever wins gets to decide. Is that fair?" Ye Liuyun said seriously.

Lin Aoxue's lips twitched slightly when she heard Ye Liuyun's suggestion.

"You're so naive, but I agree with you." Lin Aoxue rolled her eyes at Ye Liuyun.

And so, these two childish fools decided to use rock-paper-scissors to decide how to deal with the people from the Yin-Yang Harmony Palace.

Yan Yu and Chen Yao exchanged a glance, somewhat amused and exasperated; this was far too casual.

"Ready, rock, paper, scissors."

The two spoke and acted at the same time, and then the result was clear.

Unfortunately, both players got scissors on their first move, resulting in a tie.

Then we can only proceed to the second round.

"Again," Ye Liuyun said, frowning.

However, this time, both of them slapped each other, and the next few rounds ended in a draw.

Isn't this never going to end?

"Damn it, how did this guy guess all my thoughts? No, I have to do the opposite," Ye Liuyun muttered to himself.

"Hmph! Knowing her as I do, she's definitely decided to do the opposite, so I'll do the opposite too. You think you can beat me? No way." Lin Aoxue could tell what Ye Liuyun was thinking just by looking at his eyes.

The two of them turned a rock-paper-scissors game into a battlefield.

"Hey! You two hurry up! That monster is about to be killed. Once the monster is dead, they'll be free, and it will be difficult for us to catch them off guard." Yan Yu had been observing the battlefield and couldn't help but urge them on when he saw a beetle being beaten by the cultivators of the Yin-Yang Harmony Palace, its demon blood splattering everywhere.

Ye Liuyun took a deep breath and then carefully observed the changes in Lin Aoxue's expression.

Lin Aoxue also exchanged fierce glances with him, and finally, she suddenly attacked.

But after making her move, Ye Liuyun's expression immediately fell. She had thrown a rock, and Lin Aoxue was supposed to throw a rock as well. But the problem was, in an instant, she turned her open fist into a fist and grabbed Ye Liuyun's fist.

"Hehe? Sorry, I won." Lin Aoxue grabbed Ye Liuyun's fist and chuckled.

"This? You're just arguing. You clearly used your fist, and then suddenly changed your move? No, no, let's start over," Ye Liuyun said angrily.

However, Lin Aoxue disagreed.

"Really? Is a fist that isn't clenched even a fist? This is at most a half-fist. Anyway, I still restrained you, so I won," Lin Aoxue said.

"What?! You can do that? You're just being a scoundrel!" Ye Liuyun retorted.

However, at this moment, Lin Aoxue didn't care about these details.

"Tch! Don't be so arrogant in front of me. If you've got the guts, let's fight. I mean, let's fight on the main and secondary positions." Lin Aoxue withdrew her hand and said with an arrogant expression.

Ye Liuyun was speechless.

"Fine, fine, you win, but don't cry if you lose later." Ye Liuyun blushed and stopped arguing with Lin Aoxue.

Now that the outcome is decided, let's do as Lin Aoxue and Yan Yu say and attack these six people.

The beetle monster was about to die under the attack of the six people, but just as they were about to deliver the fatal blow, Lin Aoxue decisively made her move.

"Let's move! Whoever kills this monster first gets to keep it. It's definitely mine anyway!" Lin Aoxue dashed off at top speed.

But the others did not dare to show weakness either.

"Huh? Oh no, there's an enemy."

Two members of the Yin-Yang Harmony Sect were on high alert, so they spotted Lin Aoxue and her group the moment they rushed out.

"Quickly, kill the monster, or we'll be robbed!" Upon hearing his companion's warning, the leading male cultivator immediately urged the other three to attack the monster.

The other two immediately attacked Lin Aoxue and her companions, trying to buy their comrades time to kill the monster.

"Who goes there? Stop!" The two simultaneously cast spells, releasing two streams of magical power, one white and one black, forming a magical barrier in an attempt to intercept the other party.

"Tch! A mere trick." Lin Aoxue had no intention of wasting time with the two of them.

"Scatter, Spring's Radiance!" Lin Aoxue's sword unleashed a torrent of flower petals, hurtling towards the opponent's barrier.

Yan Yu and Chen Yao attacked simultaneously, one attacking a target with the ability to disintegrate magic power, and the other with the ability to ignore magic power.

Their methods were shattered in an instant.

His methods were shattered, leaving him stunned for a moment.

"Impossible! Our Yin-Yang Barrier can easily block attacks from even peak Nascent Soul cultivators. How could it not withstand the methods of these three?" The two couldn't understand.

Yan Yu, Chen Yao, and Li Hanyu took the opportunity to slip past them, choosing not to get entangled with the two.

"Damn it, stop right there, you're asking for it." Because their methods were broken by brute force, the two men were momentarily stunned and unable to react immediately.

Unfortunately, nobody cares about them.

"Die!" The four members of the Yin-Yang Harmony Sect launched their attacks at that moment. However, just as their attacks landed on the beetle monster and were about to pierce its defenses, something unexpected happened.

A white streak of light pierced through the beetle monster's mouth at incredible speed, piercing it through both sides.

The beetle monster died, and its corpse instantly turned into a beam of light and was taken away.

No need to look anymore, it must have been Ye Liuyun who made the move.
