"Dead?"

Across layers of rod shadows, Lei Qinian was shocked to see a splash of blood fly into mid-air, his expression freezing in surprise.

Little Brother Jun Moxiao's skills aren't too shabby...

In the midst of countless foes, directly taking the enemy commander's head, he killed a disciple from the Xuanyang Sect with a single sword strike.

Truly impressive.

To possess such combat prowess at the First Level of the Nirvana Realm is truly unimaginable.

Of course…

Lei Qinian also knew this was because over a hundred monkeys were besieging these Xuanyang Sect disciples, creating an excellent opportunity for Jun Moxiao to launch a surprise attack.

But if it were him, Lei Qinian believed he absolutely could not have broken through to kill anyone.

These monkeys were demon beasts, yet they were extremely proficient with rods and cooperated seamlessly. Consequently, he could only stand aside in a daze, completely unable to break through.

If he were to force a breakthrough, he would have to shatter the screen of rod shadows before him.

Lei Qinian didn't dare.

These monkeys were currently like hired help; if he attacked, he might anger them.

Once angered, the monkeys might turn on them.

"What? Junior Brother Liao is dead?"

A young man in scarlet robes saw his junior brother suddenly pierced through the chest by a sword light. His face immediately turned pale, his expression horrified.

He had never imagined that the young man at the First Level Nirvana Realm would be so formidable.

Moving unhindered amidst the countless, overlapping rod shadows of the monkeys, he had killed his Junior Brother Liao with a single sword strike.

WHOOSH!

The sword light flashed again.

Jun Moxiao silently charged toward another person.

Although this disciple of the Xuanyang Sect discovered Jun Moxiao's sword light in time and put up a defense, he was continuously struck by the monkeys' rods, which affected his attacks.

Jun Moxiao's sword slashed across half his shoulder. Blood gushed out, and the young man was instantly thrown backward.

After this young man was injured, the monkeys, surprisingly, did not continue their attack on him.

Instead, they attacked the few other young men in scarlet robes.

Jun Moxiao paused, stunned.

Only then did he truly realize that these monkeys generally didn't use lethal force against Cultivators.

At this moment, the results of Ye Yun's previous training of Jun Moxiao were finally demonstrated. The young man didn't hesitate; he activated the Dragon God Body Technique and quickly pursued.

THUNK!

A sword pierced him from behind, killing the young man on the spot.

In this manner, Jun Moxiao, like a roaming dragon, weaved through the rod shadows, striking left and right, killing the young men in scarlet robes one by one.

After a while, the monkeys all stopped, retracted their rods, and squatted on the ground.

The Monkey Leader kept tapping the ground with its rod, then looked at Jun Moxiao and chattered.

Jun Moxiao was completely baffled, having no idea what the Monkey Leader meant.

Is it planning to extort more elixirs again?

Seeing Jun Moxiao's expression, the Monkey Leader pointed at the corpses, then pointed at Jun Moxiao again.

The meaning was clear: "You killed these people; it has nothing to do with us monkeys."

Jun Moxiao had a sudden realization and quickly nodded.

"Brother Monkey, I killed them all. It has nothing to do with you," Jun Moxiao said.

The Monkey Leader nodded in satisfaction.

Lei Qinian walked over, looked at the bodies on the ground, and said in shock, "Little Brother! Your strength is truly too great. I couldn't even charge in. You... what kind of movement technique is that?"

Jun Moxiao said proudly, "This is the unique Dragon God Body Technique of my Divine Dragon Sect."

"Truly amazing!" Lei Qinian exclaimed in admiration.

Hearing this, Jun Moxiao wore a proud expression and laughed heartily.

The Dragon God Body Technique was one of the three Ultimate Techniques of the Dragon God Sect, an Eternal Sect, so it was naturally exceptionally powerful.

Since childhood, Jun Moxiao had lived a life of constant flight with his master and senior sisters. Of the three Ultimate Techniques, his Dragon God Body Technique was the best learned.

Jun Moxiao turned around and began to clean up the battlefield, collecting the storage rings from the red-robed youths.

Looking at the corpses, Jun Moxiao initially thought of burying them, but a sweep of his gaze revealed that some Cultivators had witnessed the battle.

He frowned and quickly led Lei Qinian away from the area.

The over a hundred monkeys trailed closely behind them.

"With the aid of these over a hundred monkeys, even the Xuanyang Sect would have a hard time dealing with these two Loose Cultivators. A smaller number of people simply wouldn't work," a young Cultivator whispered.

"Exactly! Who would've thought that these monkeys could take orders from humans! Could it be they were given enough elixirs?" another young Cultivator said, his eyes lighting up.

"We could try, but we have too few elixirs with us. I doubt we would succeed."

That young Cultivator shook his head, a look of dejection in his eyes.

...

After killing this group of Xuanyang Sect disciples, both Lei Qinian and Jun Moxiao felt considerably bolder than before.

They no longer needed to fly through the valleys with such caution.

However, their group had also attracted the attention of many Cultivators.

Word gets around.

Soon, news of the Xuanyang Sect disciples' murder gradually spread throughout the Heavenly Moon Secret Region.

Hearing the news, many disciples of the Xuanyang Sect were furious. They quickly assembled a team of nearly seventy to eighty members specifically to search for the two Loose Cultivators.

「Another day passed.」

Neither Jun Moxiao nor Lei Qinian found any more millennium-old Cassia Trees bearing golden laurel fruits.

"Little Bro! We're probably too slow. Many people are faster than us..." Lei Qinian sighed while flying.

"Yeah!" Jun Moxiao also sighed in frustration.

The monkeys weren't fast, which meant the two of them couldn't travel quickly either.

This made their party's speed much slower than that of other Cultivators.

Consequently, all the Cassia Trees they encountered along the way had already been stripped of their golden laurel fruits.

They had likely been taken by others who arrived first.

Jun Moxiao didn't idle on the road either. When he saw millennium-old Cassia Trees, he always rushed over to give it a try.

He would hang the Jade Tablet on the Cassia Tree, only to find no reaction.

With each attempt, Jun Moxiao's hypothesis became clearer: perhaps the Jade Tablet only had an effect when hung on Cassia Trees that were ten thousand years old.

Of course, if he encountered a Heavenly Moon Osmanthus Tree that was several thousand years old, Jun Moxiao wouldn't pass up the chance to experiment.

Better to hang it on the wrong one than to miss a potential candidate.

After crossing another mountain range, the two stood on a peak, gazing into the distance.

"Little Bro, look! What's that over there?" Lei Qinian suddenly exclaimed, shielding his eyes, his own filled with shock.

"What is it?" Jun Moxiao also looked.

A hundred miles beyond the mountain range stood a colossal Heavenly Moon Osmanthus Tree, its massive trunk unlike any they had seen before.

"That must be at least five thousand years old," Lei Qinian murmured.

Jun Moxiao's gaze, however, dropped from the tree. He discovered three to four hundred monkeys gathered at the base of the Five-Thousand-Year-Old Heavenly Moon Osmanthus Tree.

Opposite these monkeys, a large number of Cultivators were assembled, seemingly in a standoff with them.
