Chapter 384: Chapter 378: Wu Nengsheng’s Panicked Flight, Pursued by the World Honored

Mysterious World.

Ten Thousand Mountains.

As the name suggests, the mountains here stretch continuously for ten thousand miles.

In these endless miles of mountains, countless Demon Race beings live.

Living in the Mysterious World, they are all sorts of monsters and spirits.

Among the monsters, demons rank first, as expected.

Because the number of demons in the Mysterious World is the highest.

Birds, beasts, scales, and shells, those living in water, on land, born of womb, or egg.

All living creatures can cultivate into demons.

Aside from the Qingqiu Fox Race, which exists in the world, those demons living in Ten Thousand Mountains are hidden demons.

The demons here haven’t left Ten Thousand Mountains for countless years, only cultivating in seclusion.

According to Wu Nengsheng, many Tier Two Peak Powerhouses of the older generation, discouraged by being stuck at Tier Two Peak and unable to advance further, have hidden themselves within Ten Thousand Mountains.

Nowadays, it’s unknown how many remarkably powerful masters are hidden in these mountains.

Mysteriously, there was a feeling, and Wu Nengsheng seemingly knew the World Honored wanted trouble with him.

So, he hid within Ten Thousand Mountains.

Even at the World Honored’s prime during the first life and the founding of the sect, his influence never reached Ten Thousand Mountains.

To Wu Nengsheng, these mountains are the safest place.

He can hide here for a while, observe the changing situation, and decide what to do next.

Further inside Ten Thousand Mountains, the resident demon tribes are stronger; nearer to the outside, they are weaker.

At the edge of Ten Thousand Mountains, there’s a village.

In this village, all inhabitants belong to the same clan; they are a group of sheep spirits.

Ordinarily, they survive by cultivating some watermelons.

When Wu Nengsheng passed a watermelon field, seeing those lush green watermelons made his mouth water.

Though at his level of cultivation, absorbing nature’s spiritual energy suffices, and eating food is unnecessary.

But Wu Nengsheng craves it!

Seeing him like this, he’s craving badly.

Spying all around and seeing nobody, he thought to himself, why not take a watermelon to satisfy his craving?

Everyone knows, as long as you don’t take it away, it’s not considered stealing.

Wu Nengsheng came to the field’s edge, picked a round and big watermelon, sat down, and started eating right there.

Since attaining Dao, Wu Nengsheng hadn’t eaten watermelon for many years.

Tasting it again today was quite nostalgic.

So, he ate five or six watermelons in one go, his belly growing round with greed.

At this moment, a sheep demon with a sheep’s head and human body carrying a pitchfork approached.

Seeing someone stealing his watermelon, he immediately shouted: "Hey, you watermelon thief, why are you stealing my watermelons?"

Hearing someone approaching, Wu Nengsheng turned to look, guilty as a thief, and said: "It’s not stealing, I was thirsty halfway, just grabbing a few to eat."

"Eating a few, can’t I count them as bought?"

Since being discovered, paying some money to settle it should suffice, but killing this sheep demon would unnecessarily cause karmic entanglement.

At Wu Nengsheng’s level of cultivation, randomly incurring karma can’t be done casually.

Casually incurring karma would only impact cultivation.

"I live in Ten Thousand Mountains, what use do I have for money?"

"If you were thirsty, asking me for watermelons would be fine. But now, taking them without asking is stealing," argued the sheep demon indignantly.

Hearing this, Wu Nengsheng’s face changed; he thought he had encountered a difficult character today.

Can’t even dismiss him with money?

However, at this moment, Wu Nengsheng’s face suddenly changed.

"Spurt!"

Wu Nengsheng spat a mouthful of blood and then suddenly collapsed, twitching.

This exact moment was when the World Honored shattered his Purple Gold Alms Bowl.

The Purple Gold Alms Bowl was Wu Nengsheng’s treasure for many years, connected closely to his mind, and being shattered suddenly caused him backlash.

The sheep demon: "??????"

The sheep demon thought, dammit, did I encounter a con artist?

Stealing my watermelon, I scold you a bit, and you collapse to extort me?

However, the sheep demon quickly realized Wu Nengsheng wasn’t faking it; he likely encountered something real.

"Take the melon, just leave!"

"Quickly go, don’t die in my field!" the sheep demon said to Wu Nengsheng on the ground.

But Wu Nengsheng still lay on the ground, blood continuing to gush from his mouth, body twitching endlessly.

The sheep demon hesitated, then ran towards the village, shouting as he went: "Grandpa, grandpa, I scolded someone to death, scolded someone to death!"

The sheep demon returned to the village in a panic and explained the situation; the village’s sheep demons gathered and rushed to the watermelon field.

After all, over a few watermelons, causing a fatal incident would be truly unwise!

However, when this group of sheep demons arrived at the watermelon field, the fat monk who had stolen watermelons and collapsed was already gone.

After the sheep demon left, Wu Nengsheng recovered.

After slightly recovering from his injuries, he naturally knew his Purple Gold Alms Bowl was shattered by the World Honored.

The World Honored came looking for him, and Wu Nengsheng’s forehead dripped cold sweat.

Wu Nengsheng dared not stay in the area long, quickly heading deeper into Ten Thousand Mountains.

The gathered sheep demons searched the watermelon field for a long time and couldn’t find the fat monk.

As they prepared to leave, another sturdy monk appeared from a distance.

"Fat monk, sturdy monk, today hitting a nest of monks!" muttered the startled sheep demon.

The village chief, an elderly sheep demon, murmured: "It’s been years without outsiders in Ten Thousand Mountains, now they’re coming one after another; fear some big matter will arise."

"Hey!"

"May I have some melons to eat?" the sturdy monk asked the sheep demons.

The elderly sheep demon seemed to notice the monk’s extraordinary presence and said: "Our sheep village is hospitable, feel free to eat."

"Eat as much as you want, even all the melons here, is fine."

The sturdy monk also sat in the field, voraciously devouring the watermelons.

After eating a few, the sturdy monk asked the sheep demons: "Did anyone else eat melons here just now?"

This monk was the World Honored’s avatar, feigning to eat melons while truly seeking Wu Nengsheng’s whereabouts.

"No..." the knowledgeable elder sheep demon was about to speak.

But the quick-mouthed young sheep demon blurted out, "There was a con artist fat monk."

The words sent the elder sheep demon’s beard twitching in anger.

He had already understood, whether that fat monk or this sturdy monk.

Both had exceptionally high cultivation; the sturdy monk inquiring about the fat monk’s whereabouts foretold a fierce confrontation.

Such grand battles are far beyond their qualification to intervene.

Offending either side, they could be crushed with ease.
