Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 3113 - Bluemaple Swordvalley

Chapter 3113 - Bluemaple Swordvalley

The conversation didn’t continue. Originally, the two sides were somewhat at a standoff, but with Tianming joining, the scales of victory began tipping in Bluemaple’s direction. Just now, the sword cultivators had been in quite some danger, as several of them had already fallen into confusion.
Tianming used Fiveway Blitzrun to cooperate with the sword cultivators and continuously slew the darkfiends.
None of the Bluemaple cultivators dared to compete with a disciple of Myriadpath Valley for the final blow, let alone fight over the darkfiends’ eyes. Tianming directly absorbed the blood threads of those eyes. Eight darkfiends, eighteen blood threads, all merged into his Sky Plundering Eye.
Outsiders could only see him deliberately bursting the darkfiends’ eyes, but in reality, Tianming himself could barely see the blood threads, let alone others. Only the Sky Plundering Eye could clearly see them.
The darkfiends were all eradicated and their bodies fell, leaving blood to flow like a river on the floor of the cave. However, their bodies and blood were soon enveloped and absorbed by the hair on the cave walls, which made the cave walls look like intestines.
"The Darkfiend Den seems a bit like a stomach?" Tianming was dumbfounded when he saw the scene. No wonder he felt that the walls were undulating when he entered, and there was some sticky liquid he thought was mud.
"We... don't know either. It’s always been like this." The one speaking was the leader of the Bluemaple cultivators, a middle-aged man dressed in blue robes, elegant and handsome. He was the kind of sword cultivator who looked dashing, unlike messy people like Lin Xiaodao.
"Two lords, I’m Yue Lanfeng, a swordsman from Bluemaple Swordvalley. These are the sword cultivators of my Bluemaple Swordvalley. I represent them and Bluemaple Swordvalley to thank the two lords for saving our lives! Thank you for coming from afar to relieve the worries of our Bluemaple!" Yue Lanfeng respectfully said.
After speaking, he actually took the lead, as an elder, to kneel down on both knees and heavily bowed to Tianming three times with his group. The awe in their eyes really made him a bit dumbfounded.
"Get up, there’s no need for this," Tianming said.
"Yes!"
"Yue Lanfeng? That’s a nice sounding name," Tianming commented.
"Yes sir." Yue Lanfeng nodded.
Just now, Tianming saw that he had ten cosmic charts. A tenth-level cosmic cartographer would already be quite high on the totem pole in the Lin Clan, and they would be an expert even among the council hall members.
A person like that took the initiative to bow to him? Tianming could only say that Myriadpath Valley indeed had a strong presence.
"Thank you again, two sirs from Myriadpath Valley, for exterminating the darkfiends and bringing salvation to the lives of Bluemaple!" Yue Lanfeng didn't dare to say anything else, nor did he dare to directly leave, so he could only bow again.
"Thanking me is enough. It has nothing to do with her, she didn't do anything" Tianming smiled.
"Uh, sir, you must be joking," Yue Lanfeng said. He was quite cautious and didn't dare to casually speak. That should be the method the Bluemaple cultivators had figured out to deal with the disciples of Myriadpath Valley.
Seeing how respectful he was, Tianming could tell that every time the disciples of Myriadpath Valley came, they left them with a lesson. "Don't be nervous, I'll just ask a few questions," Tianming said.
"Yes." Yue Lanfeng nodded.
Tianming looked deep into the cave and asked, "Do you know how many darkfiends there are in the entire Darkfiend Den?"
Yue Lanfeng was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and bitterly smiled, "Countless."
"Countless, and you still come to kill them? Can you kill them all?" Tianming asked.
"We can't kill them all, but we still have to kill. Generations of people have been working hard," Yue Lanfeng said.
"Why?"
"If we don't kill them, there’ll never be peace. By killing, who knows, perhaps there’s still a glimmer of hope?" Yue Lanfeng said.
There were always some people who ventured into the darkness to find a glimpse of light.
"How far have you gone in? Have you reached the Ancestral World?" Tianming asked.
Yue Lanfeng shook his head, "We can't enter. The border between our astralscape and the Ancestral World is the lair of the darkfiends. The darkfiends there are like bats, hanging upside down and densely packed. Even our foundationeer rex mundi doesn’t dare to go there. Many saints from Myriadpath Valley have also come, but... it’s indeed very dangerous."
"Oh!" Tianming looked deeper into the cave. It was still very deep.
"There’s a blood path that is said to lead to the Ancestral World. I don't know why, but there are fewer darkfiends there..." a younger sword cultivator said.
"Really? Where is it?" Tianming asked.
Yue Lanfeng quickly said, "Sir, even if it's that path, it's extremely dangerous. Perhaps it isn’t too late for sir to come back in a few years when you reach the Foundation stage. Going now is a bit too risky. Just the outer perimeter here already has many darkfiends. You can earn enough merits here."
"I'm not insisting on going. Just tell me where it is," Tianming said.
"Yes! Sir, please follow me out of this cave back to the outside, then you can find that blood path," Yue Lanfeng said.
"Lead the way," Tianming straightforwardly said.
"Please!"
The team of Yue Lanfeng’s also had quite a few gains this time.
"Sir, these are the darkfiend eyes we obtained this time. There’s a total of thirty-eight." On the way, Yue Lanfeng respectfully handed over a spatial ring to Tianming.
Tianming took a look and inside were the darkfiend eyes, all with blood threads.
However, he waved his hand and said, "I can kill them myself, I don't need yours. Keep them for yourselves."
That statement stunned the sword cultivators of Bluemaple Swordvalley for a moment. They didn't react for a while, looking at Tianming with some confusion.
"What's wrong?" Tianming asked.
Yue Lanfeng was speechless for a moment, then smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, are you joking...?"
"No, I have hands and feet, why do I need your spoils of war? Keep them for yourselves," Tianming said.
"Oh, oh!" Yue Lanfeng and the others glanced at each other and didn't say much.
"What's wrong? Other disciples of Myriadpath Valley would surely accept them, right?" Tianming said.
Yue Lanfeng said, "Sir, Myriadpath Valley has valiantly slain darkfiends for us and brought salvation to the lives of Bluemaple. It’s only right that we offer darkfiend eyes to them to exchange for merits in Myriadpath Valley! It's the honor of our generation to have this chance."
"Alright, you don't need to say these canned lines. I understand. You guys relax a bit, I also just entered Myriadpath Valley not long ago from a mundus and I don't have any bad temper. We're all comrades, so no need to be restrained in front of me," Tianming sincerely said.
"Sir!" Yue Lanfeng nodded and continued, "We understand!"
"Sir can enter Myriadpath Valley at a young age. You’re surely the glory of our mundi geniuses."
"I heard that only the top geniuses on the Fortuna Ranking can come to execute tasks in the Darkfiend Den. Sir is indeed amazing."
They became more relaxed, then began praising him. But it sounded plausible now; from their words, one could hear the intimidation factor Myriadpath Valley had over the Million Mundi.
"Sir!" Yue Lanfeng said. "Although sir doesn't want to take credit, we still want to say that, actually, these darkfiend eyes are not of much use to us. At most, we can bring them back to the sect to exchange for some resources. In your hands, they can be exchanged for merits, which is more valuable. Sir just saved us, and we are willing to offer the darkfiend eyes to you."
Tianming rolled his eyes and said, "Stop talking about it. I don't want them. I just want to do things my own way and not be like other disciples of Myriadpath Valley."
"Sir, you're straightforward!"
Yue Lanfeng and the others relaxed even more. Obviously, they liked and admired Tianming very much. So, from then on, they chatted more freely with Tianming, and he asked many details about the Darkfiend Den in return, including that blood path.
The so-called blood path was a cave dyed red with blood. There were fewer darkfiends in it, but since ancient times, people from Bluemaple who entered it seemed to have never come out. Even if someone did come out, they had all gone crazy. Their minds had become permanently confused. In the following days, they endlessly ranted and raved, their brains and some part of their cosmic charts having seemed to take some permanent damage.
Tianming intently listened.
Not long after, they arrived at the blood path.
