Chapter 230: A Bunch of Juniors

"Growl~"

A frost bear roared before falling to its death.

Bai Xi Mountain was overflowing with many rank one and rank two ice path beasts but Na Yuxi's team were all at the Condensation realm. The beats were no challenge to them.

The eight youngsters were very skilful. They quickly cut the frost bear apart and took the good parts of the bear. After a while, only the useless parts of the frost bear was left.

Na Yuxi sat on the cold snow as she rested. It had been many weeks since they started climbing Bai Xi Mountain.

"Good, this mountain has more ice path beasts than the others. The Snow Crystal Essence is most likely on it"

Her close friend, Na Pan Pan panted but her body still trembled with excitement from the previous fight: "This is my first expedition after breaking through to the Condensation realm. You guys never told me it was this exhilarating. In the clan, there are very few beasts and they are quite weak. And you, how are you so strong, Yuxi?"

Na Yuxi couldn't even reply before Na Liu Gan and Na Dong Bai ran over to smother her with flatteries. Na Pan Pan could have even drowned in the spittle that flew from their mouths as they praised Na Yuxi.

In the end, she only told the group to continue advancing.

The group's momentum was imposing. All the beasts they faced were killed and their meat was eaten to conserve their strengths. They had not reached the realm where their dependence on food would fall.

"Arrgh! These beasts are so annoying! I can already sense the traces of a Snow Essence Pool but these beasts keep appearing on your path!" Na Yuxi felt aggrieved as she stabbed her sword into the snow repeatedly.

"Yuxi, settle down. These beasts are only rank one and rank two, their battle strengths are quite low. Among us, you are the only fire path martial practitioner. You are the bane of these beasts and can easily kill them. Why don't we rest and try again tomorrow?" Na Pan Pan urged her friend.

"Maybe we should return to the Clan and borrow that flaming scripture…" Na Dong Bai suggested.

"Dong Bai, you idiot. If we return to the Clan now, what will become of the path we have created? Sometimes, you really speak like a retard" Na Liu Gan did not forget to insult Na Dong Bai as he opposed the man.

"Who are you calling an idiot!?" Na Dong Bai fired back almost immediately. Before both men knew it, they began to bicker loudly.

The rest of the team only watched, their statuses in the Clan weren't high enough for them to stop either man.

Na Yuxi felt a vein pop as she watched both men argue: "[coughs], okay stop. We'll attempt it again tomorrow and if it is impossible, we'll return to the Clan for the Eight Serpents Flame Scripture"

Na Yuxi's voice wasn't loud but both men instantly stopped. They did not have the heart to disobey her.

Meanwhile, Lu Zheng stood a distance away from the group of eight. His presence was concealed that nobody could sense his presence. His soul consciousness slipped into their Soul Lakes and he soul searched them without them even knowing.

After a while, he nodded his head and revealed an understanding expression.

The next day.

Na Yuxi led her team to the place where they fought the ice path beasts the day before but they weren't there anymore.

"What is going on?" Na Yuxi was surprised. Around them, the corpses of ice path beasts laid and she could tell their killer was strong.

"Don't touch anything, follow me" Na Yuxi spoke in hushed tones as she unsheathed her sword. For some reason, a tense aura enveloped the group entirely.

As they continued moving, the sight was the same but the corpses of the beasts were now those of rank three and rank four ice path beasts. Most of the snow was burnt and charred.

In accordance with Na Yuxi's orders, nobody stopped to loot the dead beasts. Soon, they could hear the growling of beasts.

Na Yuxi signalled her team to move swiftly but quietly as she approached the source of the growling.

Suddenly, everyone in the team stopped in shock from what they saw. Even the usually composed Na Yuxi was stunned silly.

"This…"

Before the group of eight's very eyes, tens of rank three and rank four ice path beasts stood. Their faces were knotted in pain as they growled at a spot, unable to move at all.

Fire Dragons and Vermillion Birds formed by Vermillion True Flames swaggered through their midst, slaughtering the beasts like cutting weed. The Fire Dragons and Vermillion Birds were extremely fast and wherever they went, the beasts were unable to retaliate.

Na Yuxi's group were not the only ones here, there was also a man. This man had his back towards them with his hands clasped behind him. His black hair flowed like silk to his waist.

Although it was only his back, Na Yuxi could tell that he was very handsome.

The man stood in silence and watched as all the beasts had died. Only then did he turn to face Na Yuxi's group: "Ah? A bunch of juniors"
