Chapter 721 - 304: Cultivator Demon Beasts Gather, Chu Ning Fishes in Troubled Waters_2
He couldn’t help but be slightly startled.
Because there were only two Tier Seven Demon Beasts outside, Chu Ning’s Divine Sense was also sensing the outside.
"Spiritual Clarity Fruit? Where is there a Spiritual Clarity Fruit?"
A flash of confusion passed across his face, and the next moment, Chu Ning understood.
"Wu Lingwei is gathering cultivators, wanting help."
What’s most attractive in this Snow Mist Valley is naturally the Spiritual Clarity Fruit.
Indeed, as this sound spread far and wide.
At this moment, everywhere in the valley, whether it was the Golden Core Cultivators who were originally fleeing outward or the Golden Core Late Stage Peak Cultivators still within the blizzard.
At this moment, they all revealed an unusual expression and looked up in the direction of Wu Lingwei.
The next moment, figures started rushing directly toward her.
This call naturally let several Tier Eight Transformed Great Demons hear it, and now the Tier Eight Bird Demon had a look of confusion in its eyes atop its bird head.
"At first, it was just a random reason made up by a cultivator, can there really be a Spiritual Clarity Fruit in this Snow Mist Valley?"
But the next moment, a hint of a human-like mocking smile appeared in its eyes.
"This is actually good, these human cultivators should all chase after that Spiritual Clarity Fruit.
That way, I can catch them all in one go and save myself the trouble of waiting here."
After that thought, the Tier Eight Bird Demon flew in the direction of Wu Lingwei.
The other Tier Eight Great Demons, whose intelligence was no different from humans, had the same idea as the Bird Demon and flew in the same direction.
Even the Bear Demon, which was pursuing Situ Yan, immediately abandoned Situ Yan and flew toward Wu Lingwei.
Situ Yan now originally had an excellent chance to escape.
But at this moment, a trace of excitement flashed across his face, and he no longer flew toward the valley exit.
Instead, he followed the Bear Demon and flew over.
The Bear Demon saw this scene, a cold smile appeared on its face, but it didn’t care.
It just continued to fly forward.
In the depths of the valley amidst the blizzard, the three members of the Illusion Spirit Sect had just walked out of a cave on the far east side.
Tantai Song couldn’t help muttering:
"This Snow Mist Valley really doesn’t live up to its name. These two caves are so rich in Spiritual Qi, yet there is not a single treasure to be found.
Other than a glimpse of lava, there’s nothing else..."
Upon hearing Wu Lingwei’s voice, Tantai Song’s eyes suddenly brightened.
"Two Martial Uncles, a Spiritual Clarity Fruit has appeared, let’s hurry and take a look."
The beautiful woman in red and the middle-aged man exchanged a glance, the former saying somewhat puzzledly:
"A Spiritual Clarity Fruit appearing, such a treasure, how could the people from Changkong Hall’s Frost Moon Pavilion make it known to everyone?"
"Perhaps the Spiritual Clarity Fruit is indeed difficult to obtain. We should go check it out regardless."
At this moment, Tantai Song’s eyes flickered slightly.
"With two Martial Uncles here, it’s not like we’re afraid of her tricks."
The middle-aged cultivator thought for a moment and then said:
"Alright, let’s go see what’s really happening."
...
Everyone was converging towards this place.
Meanwhile, Chu Ning, who was underground, furrowed his brows slightly, inwardly groaning.
Originally, he thought that after Wu Lingwei and the demons started fighting, he could seize the opportunity to use Earth Escape to leave.
That way, neither Wu Lingwei nor the two Tier Seven Demon Beasts would have time to care about him.
But now, the two Tier Seven Demon Beasts seemed to have received some signal; they were only surrounding Wu Lingwei and not attacking.
Moreover, he could imagine that it wouldn’t be long before this place would gather many cultivators and Demon Beasts.
Even the Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Illusion Spirit Sect and those few Tier Eight Great Demons would most likely appear, making Chu Ning’s head ache.
"It seems I have to wait until things really get chaotic, then look for a chance to escape."
The chaos Chu Ning was waiting for quickly appeared, with the Bear Demon that was originally fleeing and Situ Yan being the first to arrive.
"Tier Eight Demon Beast?"
Wu Lingwei’s expression turned more horrified upon seeing the Bear Demon.
She observed the two Tier Seven Demon Beasts softly growling and signaling towards the Bear Demon.
At this moment, Wu Lingwei’s gaze fell on Situ Yan, who had followed closely behind the Bear Demon.
"Fellow Daoist Situ, what’s going on?"
Situ Yan’s gaze landed on Wu Lingwei, a hint of coldness flashing in his cloudy old eye.
"Fellow Daoist Wu, I should be the one asking you, what’s going on?
Where is the Spiritual Clarity Fruit?"
Wu Lingwei’s beautiful eyes blinked lightly, her face showing a bitter smile.
"It ran away. I was chasing the Spiritual Clarity Fruit to this place just now.
But encountering two demons that intercepted it, so the Spiritual Clarity Fruit directly fled."
"Ran away? What does the Spiritual Clarity Fruit look like?" Situ Yan’s eyes flickered uncertainly.
Realizing something was wrong, he was already preparing to escape again.
If the Spiritual Clarity Fruit was here, he would take the risk no matter what.
But if it wasn’t, that would be a different story.
Wu Lingwei was well aware of this old demon’s thoughts, but with so many High Tier Demon Beasts present now.
If Situ Yan left, she would be instantly killed by the three demons.
Wu Lingwei naturally needed to keep him here.
"The Spiritual Clarity Fruit has seven colors, in the shape of an infant."
Upon hearing Wu Lingwei’s words, a peculiar look flashed in Situ Yan’s eyes, and he rasped:
"Is it really the Spiritual Clarity Fruit? This Spiritual Clarity Fruit is also known as the Spirit Infant Fruit. The seven-colored infant form is exactly its shape before maturity. You didn’t lie to me."
"How could I deceive Fellow Daoist?" Wu Lingwei’s face was calm at this moment.
"Although I also very much want to obtain that Spiritual Clarity Fruit, compared to it falling into the hands of the Demon Race, I naturally prefer it to fall into the hands of human cultivators."
