As they landed at the outskirts, it was already midnight. Qin Qing turned towards the eleven people accompanying her and said in a light yet unquestionable tone " We'll find a place to rest. four people will rest while eight will guard as they switch turns every two hours."
Upon hearing the news, Sheng Tian was devastated. Who the hell wants to be awake all night? But as the situation is not in his control, he could only make a bitter smile and continue walking.
After analyzing the Cultivation of the group, Sheng Tian was a bit surprised. There are 8 cultivators at the Peak of Nascent Soul Realm. Two at the 1st stage of Earth Profound Realm and the leader of the group, Qin Qing is at the 4th level of Earth Profound Realm. Only he was at Foundation Establishment Realm.
Now, wouldn't it be safe if Elders with deep cultivation were sent to protect Qin Qing by Qin Clan as she might possibly lose her life here? The answer is it would be safer if they didn't. The reason lies in the nature of the Xuan Beasts.
Although they live for a relatively long time compared to humans, their cultivation is correspondingly slow and tuff as the realms increase. However, Eating a Human Filled with Profound Energy can be very useful to the cultivation of a Xuan Beast. Thus, human cultivators are seen as pills by Xuan Beasts.
If a Cultivator of Sky Realm or Emperor Realm did come to protect these people, then he would attract the Xuan Beast with at least a cultivation base equal to him if not higher. So, if they sent an Expert to help the Younger generation, it would simply bring them the danger and as this is considered to be an evaluation of their abilities, they are on their own.
Sheng Tian got down, as he looked at the familiar yet mysterious Land, he went along with his team towards the mountain ranges. They found a cave and started to guard while four of them sat crosslegged to rest. Sheng Tian silently cursed his bad luck for not getting to sleep.
Then he heard a yawn which is filled with laziness, then a charming voice spoke yawning " Haa, Good Night, I will have a good rest, Stand Guard for me, Okay. Hehe." As she found pleasure in his misfortune, it was akin to adding salt to his wound. Sheng Tian mentally noted that he should get back at this demoness.
With darkness and silence, the night passed. Even though Cultivators don't need to sleep, it doesn't mean they don't need rest. Even if they are fine physically, they need to recharge themselves mentally.
As the Sun Rose, the group slowly entered the Death Ranges. They are unending mountain ranges ahead. Unlike what one expected from the name 'Embrace of Death', these mountains ahead are filled with vitality making one wonder if this is a Forbidden Land. But in nature, Beauty and Danger coexist.
Their group took a path to enter the Inner region. Yes, everything they saw is just the Outer Region which barely counts as The Forbidden Land. Even when Sheng Tian stayed here to train, he didn't go to the inner regions as it was too dangerous. So, this is his first time going to the inner regions or the True Embrace of Death.
As the group traveled, they inevitably encountered Xuan Beasts of varying levels and one was even at Peak of Nascent Soul Realm. These were all taken care of by the Two Young Men who are at Earth Profound Realm. From time to time, they would sneak a peek at Qin Qing as if trying to see her reaction.
Sheng Tian shook his head inwardly looking at these two, they are called Duan Han and Gu Song. Duan Han is the successor of the first grade or the Noble Family 'Duan', which is only second to the Qin Clan. He liked her for a long time, both her personality and beauty. He pursued her and it was also supported by his family. Marrying her also means becoming in-laws with the Qin Clan which is a huge boost to their Duan Family.
Hence, for both personal and political reasons, he is sparing no effort to win her heart. Even though he didn't receive any response, he didn't give up. He was willing to come to this Forbidden Land too. What a pursuit!
The other one is Gu Song, he is not from the Qin Capital. He is from the Mystic Ice Sect. His master plus mother is at the Peak of Emperor Profound Realm. She is said to have a good relationship with the Qin Clan as she is the Elder who usually represents the Sect to Qin Clan. So, when her son saw this girl Qin Qing and wanted to pursue her, she too didn't mind and supported him. Thus came the current situation.
Even though there are countless people who would die to win Qin Qing's heart, with these two bulls at the front, everyone else backed out.
Sheng Tian who heard the situation from the eight people who are traveling at the back with him couldn't help but pray that he wouldn't get into a mess.
'As this usually happens all the time. There are two love rivals trying to win a girl's heart. But they are both not getting any results. Then comes our MC who is mysterious, top among his peers and charming. The girl gets curious, which in general is the sign that she is going to fall, very hard. Then she tries to know about him, which leads to making the love rivals jealous to the point they lose their chicken minds and join hands to cripple or kill him.
But as every reader expects, they will get their ass kicked. And then comes their elders, fathers, grandfathers and so on. The girl would stop them and declare that she is his wife and they have to pass through her as she feels responsible for his plight. Then the main lead heart melts and he starts falling in love with her but then comes her clan, proving worth and an endless headache.' Sheng Tian mind shuddered as those memories flooded in his mind.
If he really does have any feelings towards her, he is willing to fight, but now they are only on a pure employer-employee relationship. So, he maintained a safe distance from her. And whenever he saw her and her pursuers, Sheng Tian's mind recalls of a girl in snow white robes with a serene and peaceful presence. Even though he met her only once, he would think of her from time to time. He didn't even know where she was from. She would also be having many more pursuers, right? 'Meng Xin' he muttered under his breath gently.
Sheng Tian looked forward and his senses suddenly kicked in, though these group of people are using Spirit Sense, Spirit Sense is not omnipotent. There are ways to be concealed from it. There are also creatures which can shield themselves from Spirit Sense until they enter a certain range.
But what Sheng Tian felt was not from Spirit Sense, it was from battle instincts and his soul. They were walking on a path with mountains on either side, but he didn't see any signs of danger from either side but his soul and battle instincts felt the danger. It was from below. He could only shout " Below" which coincided with " Jump" from Qin Qing as they both jumped into the sky along with Duan Han and Gu Song.
Startled they were however, they too followed suit. One guy of the Nascent Soul Realm was not as quick, His leg's flesh had a big chunk of flesh missing. As the group turned downwards, they saw it.
With Brown Fur covering the whole body, at the size of an adult cat, it looked like rodents externally and with red eyes, it did look a bit Scary.
As the group jumped to more than 10 feet, the rodents didn't attack. Yet that didn't mean the group would wait.
One of them shouted " Burial Rats. They mainly lay underground and sneak attack. But that is not the main thing, they attack in groups always." And with the news being out as if to testify his statement, more than 30 Burial Rats came out at the same time. It seems like they are going for it.
As the cultivator who was attacked previously jumped up too right after he was attacked and used his Profound Energy to stop the bleeding. All this happened in a few seconds.
The moment the group almost landed, a green light pierced a group of Burial Rats and minced them to two halves. Qin Qing was the one to attack with her sword and said: " They are only in the Nascent Realm."
And then everyone attacked and killed the pack. With the stench of blood being too strong, the group didn't linger there and moved forward.
But everyone else in the group including Qin Qing was inwardly surprised that Sheng Tian could react before anyone else and even warn them.
The Group moved forward in the vast inner regions. Xiao Lian told him that this will be his training and she won't be helping him. So, Sheng Tian was on his own.
Though no one mentioned it, there was an underlying sense of death in everyone's hearts.
