Chapter 0223: 0223
For the Southeast Thoroughfare, the Shushan Immortal Sect was the king that loomed over them in the divine continent . Not even the core sects in the Southeast Thoroughfare would dare to deal with Shushan disciples with incaution, let alone those of Cloudy Palace .
This also explained why everyone took a few steps back upon hearing that Wu Yu was a Shushan disciple, an equal mix of frowns and reverence .
"I reckon these two are not yet past 20 years old, although they're already at the Jindan Dao Realm . Only Shushan has this caliber of disciple . "
"I hear that's the norm at Shushan . Those who grew up on the Clear Sky of Shushan are even more fearsome . "
"That's true . The Clear Sky of Shushan is like heaven to us . "
Wu Yu knew that his status outside was indeed useful in accomplishing many things . When so many knew his status, no one would dare to treat him lightly .
Even that Huang Feiyun was more guarded now . "Have all of you heard? These two are esteemed disciples of Shushan . Open your eyes, and don't be as stupid as Huang Lingyun, who angered the Shushan disciples . Even if they don't punish you, I will make you feel my wrath . Are the likes of Shushan disciples to be crossed by you bunch of naive louts?"
"Yes, you're right!" Everyone laughed a little sheepishly .
Even Zhu Zixing said, "Who would have thought that the ancient battlefield would also attract Shushan disciples . If I had known, I would not have blustered like that just now . Your seniors should also be nearby, right?"
In truth, they were not afraid of the pair, but rather the sect and experts that backed them at Shushan .
Zhu Zixing was testing the waters .
Wu Yu waved dismissively . "We came out alone to train . The sect seniors did not follow us . There is little to fear in the Southeast Thoroughfare . "
Actually, the more he feigned strength, the more he would assuage suspicion . Conversely, if he said that his seniors were nearby, they might guess that Wu Yu was blustering .
"That's true . A casual talisman or two could destroy Huang Lingyun . Shushan disciples have such power!" Huang Feiyun said admiringly .
"Alright, stop crowding . Back to treasure hunting . We're just here for a turn, and for some new experiences . We won't hold everyone up . " Wu Yu's lofy and superior expression cowed them .
Of course, some of them were still unhappy with him .
But at least the tense times were crossed .
"Huang Lingyun gambled with his life and ended up helping me discover the use of the Soul Devourer Talisman . Zhang Futu, the remaining one will be for you, I'm afraid . " That he had obtained a talisman with such prodigious deadly powers gladdened Wu Yu's heart .
This was a treasure that not even 500 merits could buy .
Although the crowd had dispersed, they were still watching them from a distance . Wu Yu was shielded by the status of Shushan disciple, but he did not dare to roam alone anymore . Otherwise, if he met another person like Huang Lingyun, then he would be in danger .
And so he searched for treasures while maintaining a high level of alertness .
After a couple of hours, they still had no other loot . There were too many people here - a full 2,000 had turned up . Many things had already been taken by others .
And at some point, the Paranormal Pillar of Blood in his Sumeru Pouch quivered . Wu Yu took it out . At its smallest, the Paranormal Pillar of Blood was the size of a brush in his hand, and this spiritual immortal treasure seemed almost sentient as it was attracted to something .
The Paranormal Pillar of Blood pointed towards a place .
A deeper place .
As the saying went: No risk, no reward . Since there was some sign, Wu Yu would not pass it up . He followed where the Paranormal Pillar of Blood tugged him, leading Nangong Wei deeper in .
"Big Brother . " Their surroundings seemed sinister, and Nangong Wei was a little afraid . She hid behind Wu Yu .
The grey soil beneath their feet was very soft, almost as though it were a sea of ash .
Wu Yu's hand lit up with flames, illuminating their surroundings . The deeper he walked, the more excited the Paranormal Pillar of Blood seemed to become, as though it had met its kind .
"The Paranormal Pillar of Blood is a ghostly cultivator object . " Wu Yu remembered this well, and so he took extra care . At a certain point, he flung the fireball in his hand out, lighting up the place before him .
Unexpectedly!
The grey soil before him churned like the sea itself . With a snapping sound, the soft soil splattered aside . A figure rose to the surface and then opened!
It was a huge flower of black and red . The petals were inky black, while the stamen and pistil were a fresh red . The petals continued to open and close like a mouth, while the pistils seemed to be gnashing together as though it had teeth and saliva . That was where the snapping sound had come from!
A flower had emerged from the ground!
The flower looked extremely sinister . Its appearance was heralded by a deathly stench that made one retch .
They weird part was that although it was a plant, it continued to wave and wriggle . Thorny vines twined around the flower, as though part of its limbs .
Seeing this, Wu Yu hurried backwards .
Looking down, he saw that the flower was resting on a mound of thousands of corpses, and the flower's roots were basically buried on this mountain of corpses . It was as though this flower had grown from the corpses .
"Big Brother, look! Four spiritual marks!" Nangong Wei exclaimed excitedly .
Looking at where she pointed, Wu Yu saw that four of the huge petals had writhing, black marks . They were like coiled black snakes . But there was no denying that the four spiritual marks branded the flower as astoundingly valuable!
Definitely a precious treasure! However, it was a savage treasure indeed!
