Chapter 409: Chapter 228 Huge Harvest!_2

“The wise choice, Dao Friend,” said Xiao Yongting with a radiant smile.

At this moment, the atmosphere between them felt very harmonious.

Subsequently, Lu Li formally joined the ranks of the Stealing Heaven Alliance, becoming an honored cultivator of the demonic path.

The group, led by Xiao Yongting, set out in all directions in search of their quarry.

Along the way, they encountered some solitary cultivators, whether from the Human Clan or an Alien Race, and mercilessly killed them all without exception.

Lu Li, following behind, also harvested some Crystal Core Fragments.

He always suppressed his strength to be close to that of the second tier.

In the team, he was above average, a presence that couldn’t be ignored nor too conspicuous.

The group rampaged through the entire minor world, and aside from steering clear of the top ten mighty ones of the first tier, no other cultivators could do anything to them.

They all flew on, until a month later.

They arrived at the edge of a large lake.

Above the lake, in the high sky, more than twenty Demon Clan powerhouses were gathered.

Endless Demon Energy interwove together, stirring up layers of mist and fog.

Among them, there were two powerhouses from the second tier.

This place was clearly a stronghold occupied by a group of Demon Clan mighties.

Seeing Lu Li and his group arrive with malevolent expressions, the numerous Demon Clan powerhouses all had faces filled with utmost concern.

“What brings you to our territory?” asked a Demon Clan strongman with the head of a Golden Eagle, coming forward.

He was one of the two leaders here.

The other was a strongman from the Serpent Tribe, wrapped in a red robe, surrounded by an ominous air.

“Hand over your Storage Bags, or die,” Xiao Yongting said with disdain.

They were in a position of complete advantage and would naturally not leave easily.

This group of Demon Clan mighties was a small force they had been looking for a long time.

Presumably, the spoils of the opposing side were substantial; killing this group of demons would mean all the Crystal Cores would be theirs.

“Kill.”

The Golden Eagle Demon King’s face was filled with an intent to kill, knowing that the situation could not be resolved peacefully, and thus, it took immediate action.

“Screech…”

It transformed in a shake, turning into a gigantic Golden Eagle that appeared in the void.

Its wings, tens of meters wide, seemed to eclipse the sun with a fierce and unmatched momentum.

Seeing the Golden Eagle Demon King make a move, the Serpent beside it was not to be outdone.

It turned directly into a massive Red Serpent, coiling in the void, surrounded by mist and water vapor, forming swirling clouds that buoyed it, an awe-inspiring sight.

The rest of the Demon Clan also transformed into their true forms and charged toward Lu Li and his companions.

A large group of giant demons moved en masse, even shaking the surrounding gray mists apart.

“Quickly exterminate this group of demons,” Xiao Yongting ordered with a murderous look.

He immediately brought out a golden hoop Magic Treasure and charged forward.

Stimulated by Divine Power, the hoop emitted golden beams that flashed across the sky.

Controlling the Magic Treasure, he went straight for the Golden Eagle Demon King.

The rest of the cultivators also brought out their favored Magic Treasures and launched attacks on the group of demons.

“Whoosh…”

Lu Li also brought out a golden Flying Sword, slashing towards a giant green turtle ahead.

Golden Sword Qi exhaled from the blade as if it would rend the void.

“Boom boom boom…”

The two sides collided fiercely.

Endless Gang Wind swept in all directions, whipping up the surrounding gray mists.

As the battle started, the Demon Beasts immediately found themselves at a disadvantage.

The two Demon Clan powerhouses, amidst the Stealing Heaven Alliance cultivators’ onslaught, seemed quite precarious.

The remaining demons, under the assault of Lu Li and others, struggled to hold on.

Time passed slowly, and they had been fighting for more than an hour.

“Howl…”

A mournful scream rang out as a Green Bird’s head was severed, its body falling towards the lake’s surface.

Its blood dyed the surrounding lake water red.

With casualties appearing among the demons, it was as if a horn had sounded.

“Howl…”

Before long, another Silver Moon Demon Wolf was slain, its blood staining the sky.

The Stealing Heaven Alliance members’ morale surged, pressing their attack on the remaining Demon Clan members.

As Demon Clan strong ones fell one after another, the group of demons trembled in fear.

Seizing the opportunity, Lu Li’s Flying Sword struck swiftly.

The golden Sword Qi flashed by, piercing directly through the giant sea turtle’s head.

“Wuu…”

As the giant turtle was sliced and fell towards the lake, Lu Li waved his hand, and its body was absorbed into his inner world.

Then, he turned and launched an attack against a Green Serpent nearby.

For a moment, the whole battlefield was filled with killing auras and blood mists, obscuring the view.

One after another, the demons began to fall, the remaining few powerhouse’s struggling under the increased pressure, beginning to waver.

In no time at all.

“Screech…”

The Golden Eagle Demon King struck out with one claw.

Spiritual energy coalesced in the void, forming a gigantic claw shadow, like a mountain descending from above, pressing down towards Xiao Yongting and the others.

This attack was clearly the Demon King’s desperate move.

The Red Serpent, not wanting to be outdone, opened its mouth and spit out a Dragon Ball, colliding directly with several people ahead.

With two Demon Kings fighting desperately at the same time, their momentum was indeed extraordinary.

For a moment, they even managed to force the members of the Stealing Heaven Alliance to retreat temporarily.

“Retreat…”

Seizing this opportunity, the Golden Eagle Demon King spread its wings and darted rapidly forward, disappearing in the vicinity in the blink of an eye.

The Red Serpent similarly raised a cloud of mist, moving through the void like lightning, quickly disappearing from sight.

Seeing their leaders flee, the remaining members of the Demon Clan were filled with despair.

Under the collective effort of the group, they were soon slaughtered to near extinction.

Lu Li had also killed several members of the Demon Clan, reaping a considerable bounty.

“Let us set off once more, take advantage of this opportunity to exterminate some more forces,” Xiao Yongting said with a faint smile.

The group laughed and nodded in agreement.

“Indeed, the further we go, the stronger the enemy.”

Soon, under Xiao Yongting’s leadership, they set off on their journey once again.

……

In the half-month that followed.

Xiao Yongting’s team kept moving through the entire minor world.

They fought fiercely with other groups.

Since they had a number of strong members in their midst, they were always able to gain the upper hand in each encounter.

They also collected no small number of spoils of war.

Even Lu Li followed along and reaped abundant rewards effortlessly.

Seeing that the time was almost ripe, just as Xiao Yongting was preparing to lead the group to meet up with Wang Shoukun, he suddenly noticed something odd about their surroundings.

The group was flying in the southwest direction of the world.

They sensed ripples of mana not far from the forest ahead.

“There are cultivators ahead, kill this batch, then meet up with Senior Brother Wang…”

With a murderous expression, Xiao Yongting led the others flying rapidly forward.

Lu Li and his party followed closely behind.

They soon arrived in the middle of a large forest.

There, a group of cultivators stood on a clearing, their faces full of vigilance.

In the center was a beautiful woman, none other than Zhao Sitong.

Seeing this situation, something stirred in Lu Li’s heart.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Sitong had also established a small organization.

However, this time it seemed their chances were slim.

Their relationship was good, and he didn’t want her to fall here.

When the time came, he would think of a way to help out, ideally without revealing himself.

In that instant, Lu Li had already devised a plan.

“Kill!”

At that moment, Xiao Yongting led the many strong members to charge forward.

The rest targeted their respective opponents.

Magic Treasures were sacrificed as they surged into battle.

The boundless radiance of treasures interwove in the void, with a fierce and unmatched momentum.

“Retreat.”

As soon as Xiao Yongting and the others had arrived, Zhao Sitong and her party had already reacted.

Using tunneling light, they quickly retreated to the rear.

The Stealing Heaven Alliance members closely pursued them, the groups traversing the dense fog one after another.

Lu Li also raised his tunneling light, pursuing a middle-aged man.

As he left, he surveyed the entire battlefield.

He saw Xiao Yongting and four other strong members firmly targeting Zhao Sitong.

Unsurprisingly, she probably would have difficulty escaping these people.

Half an hour later.

Having distanced himself from the Stealing Heaven Alliance members, Lu Li transformed, taking the appearance of a cold-faced young man in a striking red robe.

With a flash of tunneling light, as quick as lightning, he flew towards Zhao Sitong’s direction.

……

Above a vast wasteland.

Zhao Sitong was fleeing rapidly through the void, her face pale and her heart extremely anxious.

Her breath was even unstable.

Just a short time before, she had been overtaken by several people, and only after desperately stimulating her Essence Blood was she able to escape again.

At this moment, she didn’t know how much longer she could run and couldn’t help feeling a bit desperate.

She regretted dearly, if she had activated the Transmission Token earlier to leave this place, she wouldn’t be in this predicament.

She blamed her own greed.

Now, to activate the token would require more than a dozen breaths of time.

During this period, her pursuers would have more than enough time to kill her over ten times.
