My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 483 - 163: [Second Update]

Mu Chen spoke up. He had just made a breakthrough and needed to consolidate his cultivation, so he agreed with Nan Hua’s suggestion.

"Mu Chen just broke through, so let’s wait another two days. After two days, we will set off to the place Geng Geng mentioned to search for the treasure house of the Immortal Venerable." Yue Zhao put down the wine cup in his hand, his gaze swept across everyone, and he decisively said.

The others had no objections and nodded their heads in agreement.

After that, they continued eating, drinking, and chatting. It was not until late at night that they dispersed.

Two days later, they bid farewell to their master and set off once more.

...

Venerable Red Flame’s treasure house is located in the northern part of the Immortal Realm, within the Dragon Taming Mountain in the Northern Ice Field.

From Langya Immortal Sect, it takes ten days to reach the Northern Ice Field at the speed of a flying artifact. The flying artifact Gu Qing and the others were on was crafted by Si Lin, and its flying speed was already quite remarkable among artifacts of the same level.

On the second day after setting off, they encountered a group of robbers who wanted to rob them. Unfortunately for the robbers, their cultivation levels were not high enough and they were no match for Gu Qing and the others. Si Lin alone dealt with them, and then they continued on their journey.

On the fourth day, they passed through a grassland. Having spent too much time on the flying boat, Gu Qing and the others felt like stretching their legs and decided to land and take a walk on the grassland.

On the vast grassland, aside from a few animals here and there, there was nothing else. Gu Qing and the others’ presence seemed somewhat abrupt.

After walking for a while, they arrived beside a lake. Just as they were about to set up camp and rest for a bit, while also eating something, the sky suddenly changed color above them.

The previously clear sky suddenly darkened. Black clouds pressed down overhead, and a strong wind kicked up on the grassland, making it hard for them to keep their eyes open.

Nan Hua moved to the front of the group, moved his hands, and a light blue array appeared before him. The array expanded, encompassing the group and shielding them from the wind.

"What’s going on? Why did the weather change so suddenly?" Nan Hua asked gloomily, tidying his hair as he looked at the sky.

"Something must be about to appear; that’s why this is happening." Yue Zhao’s gaze was fixed on the sky, his right hand slightly moving, and his expression was somewhat solemn.

"Second Senior Brother, is the situation bad?" Gu Qing let Jun Wu help fix her hair and asked Yue Zhao.

"Yes." Yue Zhao merely nodded, his eyes remained fixed on the sky, and his fingers didn’t stop moving.

As they spoke, the sky darkened further. Among the black clouds, a red ring of light appeared faintly, like an array, flashing by so quickly that it was hard to see clearly.

Next, a translucent figure emerged from the black cloud before Gu Qing and the others.

It appeared tall, over two meters high, with its entire body wrapped in a translucent black cloak. Its blood-red eyes emitted an ominous aura, making anyone it stared at shiver involuntarily.

Soon after this figure appeared, another translucent figure appeared in the air, followed by another, totaling four such figures in all.

After they appeared, their gazes swept around the area and finally settled on Gu Qing and the others, who were protected by the array.

"What are these things? They look so eerie," Nan Hua said disdainfully, frowning at the creatures in mid-air.

"These are one type of Outer Heaven Demon, the Ghost Clan. Their bodies are translucent, and if they achieve a high level of cultivation, they can even become completely invisible. They can only be attacked with spells; physical objects cannot harm them at all," Gu Qing said, her face cold, her voice unusually low.

"Geng Geng, how do you know about these things?" Yue Zhao turned and asked Gu Qing.

"I saw them before in the Secret Realm, and there’s also a record of them in my inheritance," Gu Qing replied, her expression complex.

In the Secret Realm, when learning the Word Spirit Technique, she had encountered Outer Heaven Demons and thus knew about this type of demon.

"Logically, the barrier of the Immortal Realm should be very strong; how did the Outer Heaven Demons get in?" Yue Zhao turned to gaze intensely at the sky, puzzled.

"There are no issues with the Heavenly Dao, but part of the Outer Heaven Demons is of the same origin as the Immortal Realm. They possess powerful arrays that can deceive the sky, bypassing the Heavenly Dao. However, they can’t use it on a large scale, or it would attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao and be directly smitten," explained Gu Qing, who could communicate with the Heavenly Dao due to possessing a Heavenly Dao Avatar. She had previously communicated with the Heavenly Dao when encountering undefeatable beasts, which is why she knew these things.

"So powerful? No wonder they never appear in large numbers... it’s like cheating," Nan Hua nodded and then dejectedly complained.

"The Heavenly Dao cannot take direct action. Fortunately, they don’t come in large numbers, so the impact is minimal. But if the Outer Heaven Demons launch a large-scale invasion, even the Heavenly Dao might not be able to handle it," Gu Qing said softly, her brows furrowed.

This was what worried her the most. Being a Heavenly Dao Avatar, she knew the constraints the Heavenly Dao operated under—it couldn’t act freely, especially for realms like the Immortal Realm.

The Outer Heaven Demons were obviously cunning, and their silent infiltration of the Immortal Realm had previously been stopped by others who encountered them. If Gu Qing and her group hadn’t come to the grassland today, there would be no one here, and no one would even know that the Outer Heaven Demons had entered, which would cause much greater trouble.

"These guys are really annoying; let’s get rid of them to prevent them from harming others," Nan Hua said, his eyes flashing as he fanned himself.

"Yes," Si Lin nodded in agreement.

Nan Hua retracted the array, everyone took out their weapons, rose into the air, and fixed their gaze on the Ghost Clan in mid-air.

The ghosts of the Ghost Clan had already been watching them quietly since they started speaking, as the flesh and blood of the humans were incredibly attractive to the ghosts, much like honey to bees.

Now that they saw the protective array withdrawn, the ghosts surrounded them immediately.

Upon close contact with the ghosts, Gu Qing realized she still couldn’t make out their exact appearance—only the blood-red eyes under the cloak—but she knew those eyes were merely ornamental. The ghosts didn’t possess sight; they primarily used a sense of flesh and blood to attack their opponents. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Si Lin was the first to act, gripping the Dragon Capturing Sword in his hand and fiercely attacking one of the ghosts.
