One âHeavenly Devilâ after another was thrown into the âYellow Springs Riverâ and cleansed and refined into pellets, causing Fang Han felt exuberant in his heart. Afterwards he dispersed the âSky Wolf Smokeâ around his body and walked step by step towards the female disciples, arriving in front of them. He sat down, crossing his legs, and took out a âPrimal Essence Pelletâ, which he swallowed. Drinking a few mouthfuls of water, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, resting his exhausted body.
The danger had already pa.s.sed, but the female disciples didnât dare let their guard down. Seeing Fang Han in this state, they knew he had used excessive amounts of energy.
After swallowing the âPrimal Essence Pelletâ, from within Fang Hanâs lower abdomen came a surging heat. Fang Han circulated his blood and qi, allowing this heat to circulate throughout his entire body, slowly restoring his spiritual power and reducing his feeling of exhaustion. He stood back up.
âFang Han senior brother, you were actually able to kill hundreds of âHeavenly Devilsâ! Iâm afraid even the top three senior brothers and sisters on the âShanâhe Rankingsâ donât have this ability.â
One of the female disciples, upon seeing Fang Han sober up, complimented him. After having weathered the storm, they were naturally all cheerful.
âThis was only because I was able to rely on the power of the âSeven Evil Spirits Gourdâ baoâqi. If I didnât have this baoâqi, if it was just an ordinary lingâqi, then right now, we would have already been cut to pieces by the âHeavenly Devilsâ,â Fang Han patted the âSeven Evil Spirits Gourdâ. He didnât want to expose his own strength, and thus pushed all of the credit of victory onto the fact that he had the gourd.
But it was also indeed that way, as if he didnât have the âSeven Evil Spirits Gourdâ, donât even think about several hundred âHeavenly Devilsâ, even tens of âHeavenly Devilsâ would be difficult.
Furthermore, the reason the âEight Sounds of the Heavenly Dragonâ turned out to be so effective was because the âHeavenly Devilsâ had expended so much energy to disperse the âSky Wolf Smokeâ. Otherwise, while it would have seriously injured them, it wouldnât have been to the extent that they couldnât fly away.
These faces of these female disciples, upon seeing the âSeven Evil Spirits Gourdâ, all showed obvious feelings of envy. After all, it was a baoâqi; it was something that even true disciples rarely had. Its was just so useful.
âThatâs right, just now, senior brother used a mantra technique. Which schoolâs technique is it? It was so overbearing. I have heard Long senior sisterâs demonstration of our Yuâhua Schoolâs ân.o.ble Spirit Long Songâ, but this seems to be different. Is it not our Yuâhua Schoolâs?â asked Xu Yue Er.
âThis was something taught to me by a foreign person before I entered the Yuâhua School. However, they didnât tell me what it was called. This is one of my small secrets, I hope senior and junior sisters will not leak it out.â Fang Han casually made up a harmless lie.
âOf course. Fang senior brother has saved our lives, showing us great kindness. How could we possibly leak one of Fang brotherâs secrets?â The several female disciples nodded their heads, âWouldnât that be too narrow minded? If the âJiaâlan Elder Sisterâ learned that we did something like that, they wouldnât forgive us.â
âCould it be that Fang senior brother hasnât heard of Ling Xiao of the East, Jia Lan of the West, Yao Guang of the North, Wan Luo of the South, and Tian Dou of the Middle?â Seeing Fang Hanâs unknowing face, Xu Yue Er chuckled, explaining, âThis is a way of describing our Yuâhua School. Amongst all of the powerful true disciples, there are five who stand out from the rest. One of them is our elder sister of the âJiaâlan Groupâ. Since the âJiaâlan Peakâ that she lives on is in the west, she is known as Jia Lan of the West. Their powers are even greater than the great elders of the Yuâhua School. Amongst them, Jia Lan and Yao Guang are senior sisters, while the rest, Ling Xiao, Wan Luo, and Tian Dou, are senior brothers. They are the ones who have hope of gaining longevity.â
âSo it was like this,â upon hearing their explantion, Fang Hanâs face couldnât help but show a look of reverence. Within his heart, he knew that these true disciples were without a doubt extraordinary. They were more powerful than s.h.i.+ Long Zi and Jin s.h.i.+ Tai, and perhaps even Fang Qing Xue.
However, Fang Qing Xueâs improvement speed is extremely fast. That day I heard teacher Bai Hai Chen say she was at the third stage of the âDivine Realmâ, the âBasic Universeâ stage, but now she is already at the fourth stage, the âYin Yangâ stage. Furthermore, during her battle against the âDemon G.o.dâ, she comprehended many mysteries. With her G.o.dlike improvement speed, Iâm afraid that she will quickly be able to rival these five people. I wonder how that Devil General, Ying Tian Qing, compares to these five? Heâs probably around the same level.
The five great experts of the east, west, north, south, and middle didnât include Fang Qing Xue. Within Fang Hanâs heart, this led to a sliver of discomfort. After all, the more powerful Fang Qing Xue was, the better she would be able to cover for him. Currently, his wings were not quite full, and thus he needed stronger people to protect him.
âAs of right now, all of the âHeavenly Devilsâ have been exterminated by us. However, we cannot act rashly! Let us remain here and recover our spiritual energy and rest. There is no way that the hundreds of âHeavenly Devilsâ we met just now are the entirety of the population within the âHeavenly Devil Arenaâ. If we meet another large group, it will be extremely dangerous.â
Xu Yue Er and Ye Yu gave their instructions, and then requested for Fang Hanâs further advice.
âYes, we should first rest here for a moment. However, we must still be moving. The number of âHeavenly Devilsâ within the arena has increased sharply, and if we are in such danger, Iâm afraid other disciples are in even more danger. We are all Yuâhua School disciples, and thus we should rescue the ones that we can. As I have the âSeven Evil Spirits Gourdâ, I cannot just sit here and do nothing.â
Fang Han suggested that they rescued others. Currently, he had added several people to his forces. Furthermore, with the restraining effects of the âBillowing Pines Zitherâ and âCloud Water Fluteâ lingâqi on the âHeavenly Devilsâ a.s.sisting him, as long as they were careful, they would be able to kill many âHeavenly Devilsâ.
Fang Han also needed more âHeavenly Devilsâ to refine pellets.
Yan, just now, how many âHeavenly Devilsâ did we capture? Do we have enough pellets to consume now?
Just now, we captured a total of four hundred thirteen âHeavenly Devilsâ. Adding the five âHeavenly Devilâ leaders, we currently have enough to refine five hundred twenty pellets. The ten âYashaâ need to consume over thirty pellets each in order to turn into âShuraâ. Subtracting these, you will have less than two hundred pellets. You must kill more âHeavenly Devilsâ, the more the better.
Okay!
Knowing that he had over five hundred pellets, Fang Han felt very complacent in his heart. Within the Yuâhua School, inner court disciples would begin refining pellets. However, each furnace could only refine several pellets, and even then they werenât âPrimal Essence Pelletsâ nor âRoyal Grain Pelletsâ, but just simple, low level pellets for transporting qi.
Even true disciples, although they could refine good quality pellets, they could only refine a few with each furnace. Five hundred pellets was enough to cause any true disciple to become crazy.
This was only something that a daoâqi level pellet furnace could do.
âSo what Fang Han senior brother is saying, is that now that we have experience in dealing with âHeavenly Devilsâ, it is much easier for us to rescue people. Moreover, killing âHeavenly Devilsâ is a good way for us to temper our spirits. It is something which will kill two birds with one stone.â
After thinking over it for a while, these female disciples all agreed with Fang Hanâs advice.
They all sat on the ground and rested for an hour, until each personâs spiritual power returned to maximum and their strength returned. Only then did they stand up. Fang Han quickly directed the âSky Wolf Smokeâ, using it to form a large ball of smoke to encapsulate them. They flew low in the sky, only about three to five zhang above the ground and flying around any peaks they encountered around them.
With this many people, Fang Han didnât dare fly too high. Otherwise, if they encountered any scenario where the âSky Wolf Smokeâ dispersed, everyone would perish. If they didnât perish at the hands of the âHeavenly Devilsâ, and instead fell to their deaths, then it would be horribly wrong.
However, they didnât expect that in their killing of four to five hundred âHeavenly Devilsâ, they would have attracted the attention of those in the area. Atop a tall mountain peak over a thousand li away, the âVajrabhairava Devil Kingâs eyes fiercely gazed at their area. Afterwards, his eyesâ pupils suddenly dilated. From within, the image of the low flying âWolf Smoke Magic Sphereâ appeared.
âDie!â
The âVajrabhairava Devil Kingâ spat out a single word, its body moving and leaving the mountain peak. Like a phantom, it flashed over the horizon, a series of blurs before disappearing into the distant sky.
Within the Yuâhua Schoolâs âSky Palaceâ in front of the giant mirror, an elder suddenly shouted, âWho is this group of nine disciples? They were actually able to kill hundreds of âHeavenly Devilsâ! When did our Yuâhua School outer court have such powerful disciples? Is it some powerful magic treasure?â
Atop the giant mirror, hundreds of the black dots which represented âHeavenly Devilsâ were completely extinguished by nine of the red dots which represented disciples. It was Fang Han and the eight female disciples of the âJiaâlan Groupâ.
âThis yearâs âHeavenly Devilsâ have undergone some sort of change, as have our disciples. Donât be surprised, these outer court disciples are very resourceful, perhaps they were able to borrow a true discipleâs magic treasure!â
âNot good! There are several thousand âHeavenly Devilsâ there, and! And! Oh my G.o.d, there is a âDevil Kingâ!â
At this time, atop the mirror, appeared a fist sized ball which emanated black light! Moreover, thousands of âHeavenly Devilsâ were currently encircling group after group of disciples.
As for Fang Hanâs group of nine red dots, they were currently approaching the âDevil Kingâ, and the large groups of encircled disciples.
âRelax, Hua Tian Dou and them have already gone over! The âDevil Kingâ will also die!â
While they spoke, atop the large mirror appeared a long line of red dots. The extremely grand Immortal qi emanating from these dots greatly shocked even the elders!
