Barren Star, Desert Sea.
Everyone else, including the four sisters of the Heavenly Serpent Clan, had left Barren Star from the Five-Colored Altar deep within the Desert Sea to head to the next level. Only Li Beifei, that old rascal, remained in the Desert Sea with his two beautiful sword attendant sisters, though their group now included a snake.
At this moment, atop the head of a giant Teng Snake stood three people, a dog, and a turtle. Aside from Li Wangba and Heilong, who were in peculiar states, the Teng Snake, with the highest cultivation, was doing the most arduous and tiring work of being a mount. The Teng Snake was also helpless, but it had already signed a blood contract with Li Beifei. From that day on, it had become Li Beifei's mount.
The Teng Snake still remembered the day it was undergoing its Saint Tribulation. During the tribulation, the other three Saint Realm demon beasts in the Desert Sea, in order to prevent it from successfully entering the Saint Realm, attacked it after the final lightning tribulation fell. The three Saint Realm demon beasts, who had been lurking outside the range of the tribulation, launched a sudden attack.
Although it was a pure-blooded Teng Snake with extremely strong innate bloodline, unfortunately, the Desert Sea suppressed its strength to a certain extent. Its specialized divine abilities were all water-based, and the Desert Sea was simply an environment that naturally countered it. Therefore, it suffered considerable injuries during the tribulation and was ambushed by the three Saint Realm demon beasts. After fighting a bloody battle, it managed to severely injure the three Saint Realm demon beasts with its powerful bloodline abilities. It was then that several sword energies mixed with powerful sword intent fell from the sky, swiftly killing the three Saint Realm demon beasts. And it was forced to sign a blood contract with the master who released the sword energies.
After signing the contract, its life and death were no longer in its own hands.
Li Beifei was now in high spirits, like an emperor inspecting his domain, commanding the Teng Snake to head to the next location where the Other Shore Flower was hidden.
The reason Li Beifei didn't kill the Teng Snake was not only because the Teng Snake was a rare demon beast in the world, but also because the Teng Snake knew where the Other Shore Flowers were. After subduing the Teng Snake, Li Beifei, with the help of the Teng Snake, collected three more Other Shore Flowers. He himself refined another one, and his Divine Sea expanded again, but he also felt that refining two Other Shore Flowers was already the limit. Continuing to refine them would have no effect on his Divine Sea.
Li Beifei was disappointed. He had been thinking of using the Other Shore Flowers to expand his Divine Sea several times or even dozens of times, but dreams were beautiful, and reality was cruel. But even so, he did not stop his plan to find the Other Shore Flowers. After the four sisters of the Heavenly Serpent Clan left Barren Star, he continued to search for Other Shore Flowers in the Desert Sea with the two sisters, Liu Yanran, as well as Li Wangba and Heilong.
If he couldn't use them, he could give them away!
Li Beifei was now thinking of Mu Qingyi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. They said that a day apart felt like three autumns, and it had been almost two months now, which was equivalent to decades.
"Sister, the young master is lovesick again," said the younger sister, Liu Yuran.
"Don't talk nonsense," Liu Yanran scolded.
"I'm not talking nonsense. I saw it in an ancient book. The young master's expression definitely means he's thinking about his Dao companion. That's lovesickness." Liu Yuran took out an ancient book and spoke in a plausible manner. The ancient book looked very old, but anyone with discerning eyes could tell it was a fake. These were all the skilled operations of those street book vendors, which could only deceive a girl like Liu Yuran who was inexperienced in the world.
The Teng Snake under their feet, hearing the sisters' discussion, was filled with disdain. How could we cultivators be trapped by love?
Suddenly, the Teng Snake stopped. Li Beifei, who was thinking about Mu Qingyi, almost fell from the Teng Snake's head due to inertia and distraction. Li Beifei angrily said, "What's wrong with you? You almost threw me off."
The Teng Snake felt wronged. It was clearly your own distraction, so why blame me? But thinking that its life was in the other party's hands, for the sake of its life, the Teng Snake said flatteringly, "I'm sorry, Master, I know I was wrong. I'll stop slowly next time. Actually, it's not my fault. It's mainly because a person suddenly appeared in front of me. I followed your instructions not to easily harm humans, so I stopped."
"In that case, then I'll forgive you." Li Beifei was very satisfied with the Teng Snake's attitude of admitting its mistake. In fact, he was very proud of being able to subdue the Teng Snake, and he was thinking of showing off to Bai Yifei and the others, but unfortunately, he couldn't meet them now and could only show off when they met in the future.
"Let me see which kid dares to block this great one's path!"
Since subduing the Teng Snake, Li Beifei had been walking sideways in the Desert Sea. The demon beasts and fierce beasts, after sensing the aura emitted by the Teng Snake, all retreated, making his treasure hunt exceptionally smooth. Even if others occasionally appeared, they would immediately run away when they saw the Teng Snake's huge body, fearing that they would be eaten by the Teng Snake.
Now someone was blocking the Teng Snake's path, which made Li Beifei interested. Li Beifei stared intently, and when he saw the person's clothes in front, his pupils shrank.
A green robe, even without looking at his face, he knew who it was.
Gu Changsheng slowly walked towards Li Beifei.
"Young Master, be careful!"
Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran blocked their swords in front of Li Beifei. Even if their strength was not as good as Li Beifei's, they were qualified followers. When encountering an enemy, they must not let the young master go first.
The two women were on edge, their sword intent chilling. Gu Changsheng took a few more steps in the void, and the two women, without saying a word, waved the swords in their hands and launched a joint divine ability towards Gu Changsheng with lightning speed.
The two women's swordsmanship had also improved greatly after Li Beifei's guidance during this period. The two swords were like two cyan sword energies, and the sword energies intertwined in the air, turning into a cyan dragon, attacking Gu Changsheng.
Gu Changsheng narrowed his eyes, stretched out a hand, and gently tapped in front of the cyan dragon, breaking this powerful sword divine ability.
The two women's faces flashed with a hint of surprise. This Sword Energy Dragon was a sword divine ability that their two sisters had recently comprehended. The two sisters were in sync, and when they joined forces to use this move, even a Transcendent Realm third-level cultivator could be suppressed and killed. They did not expect it to be easily broken by the other party.
"Young Master, the enemy is very strong." After Liu Yuran finished speaking, she continued to attack.
"Stop..." Li Beifei wanted to speak out to stop them, but the two sisters had already rushed in front of Gu Changsheng with their swords. Li Beifei was anxious. You two stinky girls, attacking him, aren't you tired of living?
Gu Changsheng was also quite interested in playing with the two little girls.
Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran changed their figures, sometimes left and sometimes right, and ordinary people would definitely not be able to figure it out. They waved the swords in their hands and stabbed towards Gu Changsheng's shoulders.
Gu Changsheng frowned slightly. These two little girls were too soft-hearted. If he wasn't the enemy, it would be fine, but if they really encountered an enemy, their idea of showing mercy would be their fatal weakness.
Gu Changsheng felt a bit like he couldn't make iron out of mud.
So he wanted to give the two little girls a lesson.
He gently flicked on their swords, and two crisp sounds of metal breaking rang out. The swords in Liu Yanran and Liu Yuran's hands were easily broken by Gu Changsheng.
"Pfft!"
The two women were bounced back by a huge force, and spat out a mouthful of blood while flying backwards, their faces pale and their breath weak.
"Little girls, the most taboo thing when dealing with enemies is showing mercy. Just take this as a lesson for you, so that in the future..."
Before Gu Changsheng could finish speaking, Li Beifei's roar came from afar.
"Damn it, old man, you're actually playing for real?"
