Chapter 537: Oppressive Gangster Rabbit

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the midst of a mountain gorge somewhere, there were multiple plots of herb fields, stretching as far as the eye could see.
A three story tall and several hundred meters wide structure could be found in the very center of the herb fields.
This mountain gorge was surrounded on all sides by mountains which towered into the clouds. If one stretched their necks out and looked upwards, they would still not be able to see how high these mountains reached.
The Ling Qi in the mountain gorge was extremely dense, and there was a huge spirit vein running beneath it. The herb fields were neat and well tended to, and countless stalks of spirit herbs of unknown age swayed gently in the wind.
Waves of intoxicating fragrance wafted through the air as they moved.
Several hundred Hundred Year realm Demonic Beasts roamed the herb fields, taking care of the spirit herbs. There were ten huge caves in the mountain gorge, their depths so black one could not see the end of any of them.
“Boom! Boom!”
Muffled bangs just like thunder rang out from within the caves, accompanied by rushes of violent wind.
Everytime the booming sounds rang out, the Hundred Year realm Demonic Beasts nearby would cower slightly in fear as if there was something terrifying inside the caves.
“Teacher, we’ve already investigated the situation here. Most of the Demonic Beast Kings have moved to the center of Hundred Break Mountain Range, only leaving one Demonic Beast King,” a youth clad in cloud-patterned robes reported respectfully. His aura was extremely heavy, indicative of the Thousand Year King realm cultivation.
An old man dressed in Daoist robes with purple golden hair crown laughed as he exclaimed with delight, “Haha, excellent, it’s been a full 20 years since I’ve discovered this place! Finally, a great chance like most of the Demonic Beast Kings leaving is here!”
He was Su Yun Zhong, an elder of the Ten Extremes Sect. His strength was extremely great, having already reached the Eight level of the Thousand Year King realm!
20 years ago, Su Yun Zhong discovered this place by chance. However, sensing the dangerous auras here, he didn’t dare to barge in.
The natural treasures in this place were so enticing that Su Yun Zhong could hardly contain his drool upon seeing them. Each of the spirit herbs here was of great age and incredibly valuable. They were even valuable to Thousand Year Kings.
He’d sent the juniors of his sect to keep an eye on this place, but who would have thought that things would drag on for 20 years just like that. Just as Su Yun Zhong was about to give up and call those disciples back, there was actually news that most of the dangerous Demonic Beasts had left!
“Huang Lin, your contributions this time are the greatest, it’s been hard on you all these years.” Su Yun Zhong sighed as he looked at the tall youth beside him.
“To be able to be of service to Teacher is this disciple’s duty, this disciple does not dare to claim credit.”
Huang Lin lowered his head deeply as a cold light flashed across his eyes.
“After this matter is over, I’ll use my best abilities to help you break through to a higher level!”
Su Yun Zhong had a complicated expression on his face. This disciple was extremely loyal to him. Back when they first came here, everyone knew that it would be an extremely tough task to stay here and watch over these Demonic Beasts, and that it would be incredibly difficult to extricate themselves from the job. Yet, Huang Lin still accepted it without any hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, 20 years had gone by. In this 20 years, Huang Lin, who had the highest cultivation among the fellow disciples at that time, had all been surpassed by his junior brothers and sisters. Right now, he was only a Second level Thousand Year King. Even the few disciples who hadn’t broken through to the Thousand Year King realm 20 years ago had surpassed him now.
“Senior Brother, it’s been hard on you all these years.” A pleasant sounding voice rang out, coming from the mouth of a 20-something years old girl.
When he heard this voice, Huang Lin’s shoulder trembled lightly. Lifting his head, he looked at her and replied hoarsely, “Junior Sister…”
“It’s been hard on Senior Brother, staying in this god-forsaken place for 20 years. You didn’t even get to drink my wedding wine with Xin Yi; after we return, Junior Brother must have a good drink with Senior Brother!” Without waiting for Huang Lin to reply, a chilly aura rippled out as a viper-like youth stepped out and wrapped his arms around Su Xin Yi’s waist.
“Congratulations, Junior Brother.” All of Huang Lin’s earlier emotions disappeared as he replied in a calm manner. Not saying anything more, he stood behind Su Yun Zhong.
Huang Lin’s nails had already dug deeply into his palms, etching a deep imprint in his skin.
There were only seven people here, and even the weakest were in the Thousand Year King realm. All of them were disciples under Su Yun Zhong’s care.
Not far away in this mountain gorge, a Demonic Beast was bulldozing its way through the forest. Even the trees that towered into the skies were smashed into splinters by the force rippling in front of the beast’s charge while it was still tens of meters away. A red-colored rabbit about two meters tall stood above is head.
The closer they got to the mountain gorge, the more excited the gangster rabbit became as it hopped about on top of the Demonic Beast’s head.
The fragrance of numerous spirit herbs filled this area; even though it was blocked on all sides by tall mountains, the smell still spread outwards.
But the strange thing was that despite advancing for such a long time, not a single Thousand Year King realm Demonic Beast appeared within a distance of 500 li. As for the Hundred Year realm Demonic Beasts in the area, they might as well not have noticed the smell of the spirit herbs.
As the terrain grew rougher, the Demonic Beast that the gangster rabbit was riding on also began to slow down, focusing on not creating too much noise and commotion.
The closer they got, the denser the Ling Qi concentration as well as a powerful deathly aura became!
At the foot of the mountain, wisps of grayish-black mist could be seen floating in the air. This was the Death Qi that only formed when there was a large amount of the dead!
This Death Qi did not affect cultivators that much, and would at most erode a portion of their Qi. But for ordinary people, as long as they were contaminated by it, they would be dead without a doubt.
The gangster rabbit finally understood why the Demonic Beasts in this area all did not react even though they could smell the fragrance of countless spirit herbs. Most likely, it was this Death Qi coupled with the powerful Demonic Beast in the gorge that scared them away.
Animals all had keen instincts. If too many of their species died in a certain place, a kind of energy would be left behind, and could be detected by the others. Their instincts would make them unwilling to remain in the area.
This place was not as simple as having just one or two dead Demonic Beasts. From the looks of it, they could be counted in the hundreds of thousands, or even millions!
The gangster rabbit leaped off the Demonic Beast and retracted all its aura. On the surface, it looked no different from a normal rabbit.
The huge Demonic Beast behind it also began to shrink rapidly. Finally, it planted its two feet into the ground and stood up. With the head of a snapping turtle, this fellow looked exceedingly comical.
The gangster rabbit’s eyes trembled lightly as it looked up with some conflict in its heart. The Demonic Beast in the mountain gorge did not have any intentions of concealing itself at all. In the eyes of the gangster rabbit, it was as conspicuous a blazing volcano!
“Ji-ji.”
A fragrant smell drifted over, causing the gangster rabbit’s saliva to swell. Although it could sense that the Demonic Beast in the mountain gorge could definitely suppress it, it was still unwilling to give up.
“Moo!”
This turtle-like Demonic Beast was called Han Kui. Its innate ability was that it could cause the temperature in an area to rise to inconceivable levels. At the same time, its ears were incredibly sensitive, allowing it to hear even the slightest rustle from a long distance away.
At this time, Han Kui ran up to the gangster rabbit from behind, calling out anxiously.
“Pa!” The gangster rabbit wiped its drool away with annoyance and turned around, giving Han Kui a slap with its paws, warning it to be quiet. “Ji-ji!”
Han Kui had a wronged expression on its face. Your voice was clearly louder than mine…
“Moo!” Han Kui made a low disgruntled sound and moved forward.
The gangster rabbit’s ears twitched lightly as it hopped lightly behind Han Kui.
“Moo!” Han Kui and Gu Qi arrived at the foot of a mountain. After rounding a large boulder, a five meter wide cave entrance appeared before them.
“Ji-ji!”
The gangster rabbit’s eyes glowed; clearly, this cave was newly dug.
According to its senses, there were still faint sounds of digging sounding from within.
“Ji-ji!” The gangster rabbit used its paws to pat Han Kui on the head as if complimenting it on doing a good job.
The gangster rabbit Gu Qi was actually extremely shocked. At such a close distance, even Han Kui could hear the commotion below the ground.
Han Kui looked at Gu Qi’s paw on its head with a conflicted expression. It really want to snap down on that paw!
A blood-red bell suddenly appeared around Gu Qi’s body. As its cultivation grew, the patterns on the bell also became more detailed and dense. Looking into the black cave again, it directly jumped in.
“Eh?”
Su Yun Zhong raised his eyebrows momentarily and looked towards the mountain foot. Shaking his head, he retracted his gaze.
“Teacher, what’s wrong?” the second disciple asked as he looked at Su Yun Zhong.
Su Yun Zhong shook his head, and said, “It’s nothing, just my imagination.”
Earlier, he felt as if he’d detected a strong aura, but it’d only appeared for an instant. When he looked over, there was nothing.
It was actually the gangster rabbit’s aura, but when Su Yun Zhong looked over, it happened to be covered by the huge boulder.
Su Yun Zhong looked at his six disciples, and said, “Later on, I’ll go and tie that Demonic Beast King down. The rest of you hurry and pick the spirit herbs clean. After that, come over and assist me.”
“Father, is that Demonic Beast King really so strong? Even your Eight level Thousand Year King realm strength is not enough to obtain certain victory?
“Father is not very confident as well. These Demonic Beasts are all extremely powerful, and my chances against the Demonic Beast King are not higher than 50 percent. Qi’er, you must protect Xin Yi well,” Huang Lin explained as he instructed his third disciple Ge Qi.
“Teacher, please rest assured, with me here, nothing will happen to Junior Sister,” Ge Qi replied respectfully, the cold aura on his body rising.
At the bottom of the mountain, the gangster rabbit Gu Qi had already arrived several hundred meters below ground. A silver white Demonic Beast was swinging its claws at the walls, and with each slash, large pieces of the incomparably tough rocks would be smashed off.
“Eh?”
The armadillo-like Demonic Beast suddenly stopped upon hearing a sound. Turning around, its face was suddenly scrunched up together.
Without waiting for the armadillo to react, the gangster rabbit’s figure appeared before its body.
Han Kui once again fell into silence. This was another excellent opportunity. This damned rabbit had bullied it around for such a long time; now, if it joined hands with this armadillo-like fellow in this tiny space, with one attacking from the front and one from the back, this rabbit would definitely have no ways out. At that time, it could get revenge for all the bullying it’d suffered.
Han Kui considered for some time, seemingly having fallen into a reverie. When it thought of itself giving the damned rabbit a good beating, the corners of its mouth lifted up, revealing its yellowed teeth.
