Lu Zhou gestured for Whitzard to slow down. He looked at Kong Wen skeptically and asked, “You want to lead the battle?”

Third Brother, whose name was Zhang Qian, said, “Old Sir, my Elder Brother once commanded a team of over 100 people at the southwest of the Unknown Land to battle a high-level beast king. Needless to say, he successfully took the beast king down. For that reason, he became somewhat famous in the Unknown Land. There are often people who came to invite him to join them. However, it’s difficult to divide the treasures when there are too many people, and disputes are sure to arise. Hence, it’s still best for us to just stick to each other…”

Kong Wen said with a smile, “A gentleman never speaks of his past glory. That matter is all in the past. The most important thing is teamwork. Cultivators who are skilled in healing can greatly improve the battle ability of the team…”

Zhang Qian added, “I wonder if all of you have heard about the monster hunting squad? They’re the most elite team in the Unknown Land. Captain Cao Zechun, for example, is a powerful healer…”

“…”

Conch muttered under her breath, “Didn’t all of them die?”

Lu Wu’s heaven-defying ice seal was still fresh in her memories.

Kong Wen sighed. “It’s said that they were chasing after the beast emperor, Lu Wu. Someone found their corpses in the area near the three mountains. All of them were frozen. What a pity…”

Lu Zhou wanted to pretend that he was the one who killed the monster hunting squad but quickly dismissed that thought; it was meaningless. Moreover, the one who really killed the monster hunting squad was indeed Lu Wu.

Suddenly, Lu Zhou asked, “Do you know what I like about you?”

Kong Wen shook his head.

“Your tracking skills…” Lu Zhou said before adding, “That’s all…”

“…”

Without another word, Lu Zhou continued to fly north, leaving Kong Wen and his brothers dumbfounded.

At the same time, in a camp in the Unknown Land.

More than ten sword cultivators hovered in the air to rest.

“Venerable Master Qin, a red light appeared in the north of the Unknown Land. A beast emperor has appeared.”

Qin Renyue, who was hovering in the air with his legs crossed, asked, “Did any divine beast appear?”

The disciple replied, “Divine beasts are extraordinary. I’m afraid those who aren’t Venerable Masters won’t be able to detect them at all…”

“Alright,” Qin Renyue said, “We’ll rest here for two days before we head north.”

“Understood.”

After the disciple left, Qin Renyue vanished into thin air and appeared high in the sky. He looked at black fog and surveyed the mountains and the land. He stood facing north, but he could not see anything.

Qin Renyue murmured to himself, “Red light… What could it be?”

Although cultivators had explored the Unknown Land for many years, it was too vast and there were still many uncharted places. Compared to it, the domains human lived in were like a cramped space.

To the west, Qin Renyue saw many flying beasts in the sky. Meanwhile, the fierce beasts on land looked like ants as they traveled east.

Qin Renyue placed his hand in front of his Dantian’s sea of Qi. Then, energy swords as thin as hair appeared in the space 100 meters in front of him.

The energy swords twitched slightly before they shot toward the fierce beasts.

He did not stay and wait for the results. Instead, he returned to the camp and said tonelessly, “Pack up.”

Three days later.

Lu Zhou and the others arrived at Green Hill two days ahead of schedule.

“We’ll rest here for half a day.”

Everyone landed.

Yan Zhenluo bowed and said, “I’ll check on Mr. Third’s location.”

Lu Zhou nodded.

Meanwhile, Kong Wen waved at his three brothers. “Come on, show your skills!”

“Yes!”

Kong Wen leaped forward and brought out dozens of talismans. After lighting then, the talismans fluttered out like fireflies.

Second Brother, Kong Wu, placed a few talismans on the ground.

In just a short moment, the talismans vanished.

Kong Wen returned and said with a smile, “Please wait a moment. I’m sure we’ll find something.”

Mingshi Yin asked curiously, “What kind of technique is this?”

Kong Wen asked suspiciously, “Is this your first time in the Unknown Land?”

Mingshi Yin nodded and answered truthfully, “Indeed, it’s my first time.”

Kong Wen’s eyelids twitched. If it were not for that super healer, he would not even bother to explain.

“This is the combination of a tracking talisman and a rune. It attracts beast kings. Since fierce beasts below beast kings aren’t intelligent, this technique is very useful,” Kong Wen explained.

Mingshi Yin said, “Interesting.”

Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!

Qiong Qi charged forward and trampled on the rune circle and tracking talismans on the ground.

Mingshi Yin: “…”

‘Silly dog, can’t you consider my dignity and pride before doing something like this?’

At this moment, a commotion rang from the Green Hill near a mountain stream.

“Elder Brother, it’s here!”

Kong Wen flew up and looked at the mountain stream. When he saw a flock of flying beasts, he said, “I’m pretty lucky. It’s a Five-Color Green Luan.”

“A Five-Color Luan?”

“There are many kinds of luans. Luans with single color are ordinary. Luans with more than two colors are usually Birth Chart Beasts. As for the Five-Color Green Luan, it’s a beast king. Green is its main color while the other four colors are auxiliary colors. It’s very skilled in flying,” Kong Wen patiently explained to Mingshi Yin.

Following that, Kong Wen said, “Old Sir, since you’re skilled in healing, you should stand at the back. Two people will stay back to protect you while the rest will follow me and listen to my commands.”

Kong Wen’s three brothers said excitedly, “Yes!”

However, before the four brothers could even act, Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong had already flown over at lightning speed toward the Five-Color Green Luan.

Kong Wen and his three brothers: “…”

Yu Zhenghai immediately used the Great Dark Heaven Memorial. The Dark Heavenly Starlight seemed to cover the sky as it killed the flock of luans.

On the other hand, Yu Shangrong rushed toward the Five-Color Green Luan. His body looked like a shadow as he moved and brandished his sword at the Five-Color Green Luan.

The Five-Color Green Luan was suppressed by the duo’s fierce attacks and was forced to lower its altitude. After a moment, it screeched before it flapped its wings to counterattack.

Yu Shangrong’s movements were precise and neat as he avoid the Five-Color Green Luan’s wings.

One up; one down. One left; one right.

Although Yu Zhenghai had four Birth Charts, his strength seemed comparable to someone with six Birth Charts who had yet to pass the Birth Trial.

Meanwhile, Yu Shangrong with his eleven leaves was strong enough to suppress a Six Chart cultivator.

Kong Wen’s mouth was dry. He said, “That’s a beast king we’re dealing with…”

“It’s precisely because it’s a beast king that they’re serious in dealing with it…”

“But cultivators who have yet to pass the Birth Trial aren’t a match for a beast king. This… This…” Kong Wen looked at Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai, who were almost evenly matched in skills and strength. He was at a loss for words.

This… It seemed like they had found themselves a huge support.

With such strong team members and a super healer, as long as they did not encounter beast emperors or Venerable Masters, they would be able to walk unhindered in the Unknown Land! Moreover, the Unknown Land was so vast that it would be unlikely to run into Venerable Masters or beast emperors unless one actively searched for them.

After roughly two hours, Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai finally killed the Five-Color Green Luan with their perfect cooperation.

When the duo returned, Yu Shangrong tossed the Five-Color Green Luan’s life heart to Mingshi Yin. “Old Fourth, keep it.”

Although beast kings’ life hearts were useful to Yu Shangrong, he did not need this particular life heart. It was better to give it to his juniors.

Mingshi Yin caught the life heart. After looking at it, he said, “It’s suitable for Ninth Junior Sister.”

Little Yuan’er was delighted when she heard this. “Thank you, senior brothers!”

‘This… It’s done just like that?’

Kong Wen felt very embarrassed. He did not even have a chance to speak. However, when he recalled he did not contribute at all, he lost the nerve to ask for anything.

Kong Wu, Second Brother, nudged Kong Wen and said, “Elder Brother, look!”

The two brothers looked at the bags on Qiong Qi’s back; one hanging on each side.

“…”

The bags were clearly filled to the brim with life hearts.

Then, Lu Zhou gave Yu Shangrong some pointers on his swordsmanship.

Yu Shangrong nodded repeatedly as he listened to his master.

After Lu Zhou was done, Kong Wen stepped forward and asked, “Old Sir, these two… They’re your disciples?”

Lu Zhou nodded as he stroked his beard and asked, “Do you have any other questions?”

“Uh, no, no,” Kong Wen hastily said.

After a moment, Lu Zhou leaped on Whitzard’s back and said, “Let’s go.”

With that, the others began to fly toward the depths of Green Hill.

Kong Wen and the others could not help but shake their heads.

“Elder Brother, all of them seem quite powerful. Should we still follow them?” Kong Wu asked in a hushed voice.

“Of course! We can’t waste the mystic microstones for nothing. Once we enter the northern region, it’ll be our turn to shine!”

“Alright.”

With that, the four brothers hurriedly chase after Lu Zhou and the others.

In less than 15 minutes, with Lu Zhou at the lead, they arrived at the top of the Green Hill mountain range.

The dark clouds hung low, and the wind raged fiercely. The number of fierce beasts had increased as well.

Yan Zhenluo said, “Pavilion Master, Mr. Third shouldn’t be too far from us. Over the past half a month, his range of movement isn’t too far…”

Lu Zhou nodded.

At this moment, Little Yuan’er pointed at the dark clouds and asked, “What’s that?”

Everyone followed the direction where Little Yuan’er was pointing and saw dozens of figures flying in the sky at lightning speed.

Kong Wen’s eyes widened as he hurriedly said, “That’s the 49 Swordsmen of the Northern Mountain Range! Be careful!”

The four brothers immediately descended from the sky.

Lu Zhou was puzzled. He looked down at Kong Wen. “49 Swordsmen of the Northern Mountain Range?”

Kong Wen hurriedly said, “They’re from the same clan as Venerable Master Qin! Old Sir, there’s no time to explain. In this place, the strong prey on the weak. We can’t compete with them so it’s best to avoid them!”
