Chapter 343: Messenger

The sun hung high in the sky, casting a bright and dazzling light on the vast expanse of white mountains.

A six-armed iron ape leaped into the air and plunged straight into a dense forest from thousands of zhang above.

The snow-covered treetops did not sway at all, as if the rapidly descending figure was just an illusion.

Gao Xian, who was thousands of zhang away, adjusted his Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror, but could only see a flickering shadow moving through the trees.

"Wood Release."

Gao Xian had always thought that the Wood Release technique was useless, being able to freely shuttle through the trees. What use could that have?

Water Release and Earth Release, those were the truly useful techniques. It would be better to spend time studying those instead of practicing Wood Release.

With these two techniques, one would not fear traveling all over the world.

It wasn't until this old monkey displayed Wood Release that Gao Xian's eyes were opened.

A black shadow darted and flickered through the forest, not only with incredible speed, but also with dazzling transformations.

Unlike Earth Release and Water Release, trees were alive and possessed their own unique life force, Spiritual Qi.

After shuttling through the trees a few times, the old monkey's aura blended with the trees.

Gao Xian's Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror quickly lost track of the old monkey's whereabouts.

The Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror technique was ultimately of too low a level. As the opponents became stronger, it gradually became insufficient.

The Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror allowed him to observe the enemy's situation and the environment regardless of obstacles, and even see the changes in Magic power. When combined with the Shadowless Cloak technique, it provided him with great assistance.

Unfortunately, this technique had already reached the Great Master Returned to Origin Realm and could not be further upgraded.

For a while, he didn't know what spiritual object to use to enhance this technique.

Including the other few minor techniques, they occupied precious spots on the back of the Wind Moon Treasure Mirror, but their levels were too low to be of much help to him.

When he had free time in the future, he would have to find a way to enhance these techniques and make them effective.

Gao Xian didn't rush to chase after the six-armed iron ape. He leisurely pondered many unrelated matters in the sky.

It wouldn't be difficult for Gao Xian to catch up to the six-armed iron ape with the speed of the Yin & Yang Heavenly Wheel. His main concern was not knowing where Iron Ape Mountain was, so he wanted the old monkey to lead the way.

Within the White Lotus Sect, having two Gold Cores, Fan Qingxia and the six-armed iron ape, was already a bit exaggerated. And now there was even a Perfected Being White Elephant.

Now that two of the three Gold Cores had died, the remaining one couldn't do anything impressive no matter how it struggled.

Gao Xian didn't believe that another expert at the level of Gold Core would emerge in a short period of time. Well, even if two more Gold Cores appeared, it wouldn't matter.

It was precisely because of this mindset that Gao Xian allowed the six-armed iron ape to roam freely.

After two days of pursuit, the six-armed iron ape used the Wood Release technique to escape from his sight.

Gao Xian was not in a hurry either. Although the opponent was almost killed by his Great Five Elements Heavenly Gang, he immediately recovered using a secret technique, but left a trace of the Great Five Elements Heavenly Gang imprint in his body.

With the profound and unpredictable Supernatural Power of a first-rank Gold Core, Gao Xian could sense that Great Five Elements Heavenly Gang imprint within a thousand li.

The six-armed iron ape had abundant Magic power, but unfortunately, it relied solely on Talent to operate its Magic power, which was too crude.

The old monkey may not be able to find the mark of the Five Elements Heavenly Gang. Even if he does find it, he doesn't have the ability to remove the mark in a short period of time.

Gao Xian is quite confident about this. Besides, even if the Six-Armed Iron Ape really runs away, it doesn't matter.

According to the Six-Armed Iron Ape and the Perfected Being White Elephant, the secret realm is in Iron Ape Mountain and requires the opening of the White Lotus Golden God Flag.

Iron Ape Mountain cannot escape. The White Lotus Golden God Flag is also in his hands. There shouldn't be any surprises.

At this time, the Six-Armed Iron Ape has already returned to its old nest: the Green Wood Underground Cave.

This is a huge cave with a dome that is over a thousand zhang high and surrounded by over ten li. The walls are made of hard rock as strong as steel.

In the center of the cave grows a giant green-gold tree, which is thousands of zhang tall, like a pillar supporting the cave.

The green-gold tree is surrounded by over ten zhang, with lush branches and leaves. Tens of thousands of iron apes make this tree their home, building countless tree nests on it.

The Six-Armed Iron Ape doesn't know how many years this giant tree has been alive, but it knows that the tree's roots spread for hundreds of li, constantly absorbing the Spiritual Qi of the earth's veins.

The Iron Ape's body is not naturally as strong as steel. It is only after eating the fruit of this green-gold tree that its body becomes even stronger.

The Six-Armed Iron Ape also stole a precious fruit from the crown of the tree in its early years, which is why it has been able to live for so long.

It is in the center of this giant tree that there is a natural tree hole that leads directly to that secret realm.

However, without the key to open the secret realm, the Six-Armed Iron Ape has pondered for hundreds of years without any results.

It wasn't until Fan Qingxia broke in that he discovered that the other party actually had the key to open the secret realm.

The Perfected Being White Elephant came over to steal a few iron apes as pets, but he was discovered by the Iron Ape.

The Six-Armed Iron Ape felt that its life was coming to an end and was unwilling to die like this. It believed that there might be spiritual objects in the depths of that secret realm that could prolong its life.

For this reason, it didn't hesitate to cooperate with the cunning Perfected Being White Elephant.

After several decades of struggle, they finally found an opportunity to deal with Fan Qingxia.

Things were going smoothly, but unexpectedly, a powerful Human Cultivator appeared!

The Six-Armed Iron Ape originally looked down on Human Cultivators, considering them weak and unable to withstand its iron fist with their useless flashy transformations.

The only thing impressive about Human Cultivators is their cunning and viciousness, which is hard to guard against.

The sudden appearance of the Human Cultivator made him realize the power of a master.

He was almost killed with a single blow. If it weren't for the Bloodline secret technique Supernatural Power, he would have died at the hands of the other party.

The Perfected Being White Elephant was even killed by a single sword from the other party, dying a quick death.

Since gaining intelligence, the Six-Armed Iron Ape had never been so afraid.

This time, it was truly afraid. After fleeing in panic for two days, it couldn't shake off the other party and could only use the Wood Escape technique to escape back to its old nest.

The Six-Armed Iron Ape is also not sure if it has shaken off the other party. But Iron Ape Mountain is right here, and the other party will definitely be able to find him if they really want to.

He squatted at the entrance of the central tree hole, furrowing his bald brow but unable to think of a solution.

A four-armed iron ape approached cautiously and said, "Grandfather, that person who claimed to be an envoy of the Yin Demon Sect has come again. He has been waiting outside for you for dozens of days..."

The ape clan does not have a complete language. After the Six-Armed Iron Ape learned the human language, it had the intelligent descendants in the clan learn the human language as well.

This four-armed iron ape with golden hair on its head is not his grandson; "grandfather" is the iron ape's respectful title for him.

Although Golden Hair is actually very intelligent, when it comes to the language of the human race, his tone is off and he can't help but gesture with his claws.

In terms of cultivation base strength, Golden Hair can actually be considered a Gold Core. There are six iron apes like him in the clan.

This is also thanks to the spiritual tree fruit. As long as they can digest the fruit's spirit power, they can continue to grow.

However, they are too stupid and clumsy, possessing brute strength but not being very useful against a Gold Core Perfected Being.

The six-armed iron ape originally didn't want to pay attention to the so-called messenger. Although the Yin Demon Sect is powerful, the Eastern Wasteland is even larger.

As far as he knows, there are more than ten sects and forces nearby. Everyone is used to being scattered and no one wants someone giving orders over their heads.

But after considering it for a moment, maybe he can use the power of the Yin Demon Sect to deal with that terrifying cultivator.

As for what to do after dealing with him, that can be decided later.

The six-armed iron ape has an idea. He brings Golden Hair to the surface, where there is a huge cave, their lair.

Generally speaking, they only enter the underground cave in winter. After all, the cave is too dark and closed off, and even with sufficient spiritual qi, it is difficult to sustain so many monkeys.

There is no lighting or heating in the huge cave, only cold darkness.

When the six-armed iron ape enters the cave, he sees a pair of men and women sitting in the darkness.

The man is thin, and so is the woman. They are both hairless monkeys, and in his eyes, they actually look quite similar.

He knows the man is Yin Hong and the woman is called Zuo Fei Yao. They claim to be patrol envoys of the Yin Demon Sect.

Upon hearing footsteps, the man and woman sitting with closed eyes open their eyes together.

Seeing the tall and majestic six-armed iron ape, Yin Hong becomes more solemn.

He cups his hands and says, "Fellow Daoist Six Arms, we meet again."

Zuo Fei Yao doesn't say anything, she just silently sizes up the six-armed iron ape, her gaze full of scrutiny. She appears somewhat arrogant.

The six-armed iron ape is a little displeased with being looked at like that by a hairless female monkey who seems quite arrogant.

He has been fleeing in panic these past few days, and there is a fire burning in his heart. He can't help but glare fiercely at Zuo Fei Yao.

But Zuo Fei Yao remains fearless, and her gaze becomes even colder and more piercing.

Yin Hong sees that the atmosphere is not right, so he quickly steps forward to separate the eye contact between Zuo Fei Yao and the six-armed iron ape.

They have been waiting here for dozens of days, and this old monkey only came to see them now, which actually makes them annoyed as well.

But it's not yet time to resort to violence. They should still try to persuade the old monkey. If they really fight, they might not be able to defeat a group of monkeys.

If they fail and return in disgrace, it won't be good for them to explain to their superiors.

This contact with the various forces in the Eastern Wasteland is to integrate them and cooperate with the sect's grand plan. The relationship is significant, and they can't let their temper get in the way.

Yin Hong awkwardly says, "Fellow Daoist Six Arms, we have been waiting for you for dozens of days. I believe you have seen our sincerity."

The six-armed iron ape grins and sneers, "What use is sincerity alone?"

"Fellow Daoist Six Arms, this time the sect will integrate the forces of all parties. As long as it is within the sect's territory, everyone must obey the sect's orders."

Yin Hong spoke solemnly, "This matter is related to the war between the Eastern Wasteland and the Nine Continents. Even if it's the Gold Core stage, let alone Nascent Soul or Divine Transformation, they can only obey orders."

"This is the general trend. Anyone or any force that disobeys orders will be crushed!"

The Iron Ape with Six Arms swung three of its arms on the left side simultaneously, saying, "Don't talk to me about these things. I don't understand anything about wars."

"You can't expect me to serve my clan just because of a few empty words."

Yin Hong asked impatiently, "Fellow Daoist with Six Arms, what do you want?"

"Well, I have an enemy. Help me kill him, and then we can talk."

The Iron Ape with Six Arms chuckled.

Zuo Fei Yao's face turned cold as frost, and she said coldly, "You want us to help you kill someone? You must be out of your mind!"

Yin Hong thought for a moment and said, "We can help, but if we do, you must sign a contract to serve the Sect forever."

The Iron Ape with Six Arms rolled its eyes and said, "Okay."

Regardless of what tricks the Iron Ape with Six Arms was playing, Yin Hong sneered and said, "Go and bring the person here. We'll wait here."

Before the Iron Ape with Six Arms could speak, a figure appeared at the entrance of the cave. It was a man.

This man had long eyebrows and phoenix-like eyes. He was dressed in a black and white magnificent Magical Robe, with a four-foot long sword at his waist. There was a cold and deep seriousness between his eyebrows and eyes, with a hint of indescribable sharpness. It was Gao Xian, who had rushed over to track the Iron Ape with Six Arms.

The Iron Ape with Six Arms was startled. This guy came so fast!

He hurriedly pointed at the man and shouted, "It's him!"

Yin Hong and Zuo Fei Yao both looked at Gao Xian, their eyes filled with surprise and doubt.

Such an outstanding Gold Core cultivator should be quite famous, yet they couldn't tell his background at all.

"I am Yin Hong, the patrol envoy of the Yin Demon Sect. Who are you?" Yin Hong asked sternly.

Yin Hong and the others didn't recognize Gao Xian, but Gao Xian could tell that they were Gold Core cultivators from the Yin Demon Sect.

The Azure Cloud Sect and the Yin Demon Sect were archenemies. When they met, they could just draw their swords and kill each other without saying anything.

However, these two Gold Core cultivators in front of him had decent cultivation bases. Especially the woman, her aura was actually at the middle stage of the third rank of the Gold Core stage.

Gao Xian wasn't afraid of them, but out of habit, he still tried to divide them.

He said calmly, "I have a personal grudge with the old monkey, it has nothing to do with the two of you. You can leave."

Yin Hong sneered, "Sneaky and not even daring to report your name. Don't blame me for being impolite."

Gao Xian looked at Yin Hong seriously and asked, "Do you think you can?"

This sentence made Yin Hong furious. He drew his Five Sons Demon Sword and pointed it at Gao Xian, and a chilling aura filled the air...
