Chapter 600: I Will Definitely Take Revenge!

hours each time, so besides the main hall for ancestor worship, all other places are still in朦朧之中。這座上古的龍宮中遺落著許多古老的寶物，也生長著許多如今人世間難以尋覓的珍貴草藥。對於年輕一代來說，這是一個非常好的機會，說不定就能得到某種靈丹，一口氣突破三四個境界。所以，雖然說是優秀青年才俊可以參加，但...Chapter 600: I Will Definitely Take Revenge!

She was the daughter of the Tian Mountain Sect's leader, equivalent to being born into an imperial family, and even higher in status than ancient emperors' princesses.

Haven't she tasted every delicacy from land and sea Haven't she worn every type of silk and brocade

But these things that Huo Ren and the others were eating, she had never seen before, and they seemed especially fragrant and delicious.

The only clothes she hadn’t seen were Xie Yujia's and Zhao Yanzi's outfits. Initially, she found them strange, but after a while, she thought they looked pretty nice.

Zhao Yanzi’s pajamas had been stained with blood and torn, so she had changed into some spare clothes from her cave dwelling—a small floral shirt and a pair of shorts. Although they didn’t match well, when worn by her body, they made her look casual and lively.

Duan Yao's emerald green silk blouse was one of the most beautiful outfits in her wardrobe, but after seeing Zhao Yanzi’s outfit, Duan Yao felt she looked quite ordinary herself.

"Little White, here you go." Zhao Yanzi broke half a sausage and tossed it to Little White.

Little White jumped up half a meter, bit off the sausage, wagged its tail, and ran back to Zhao Yanzi's side, sticking out its tongue.

Despite being a snow lion dog, Little White could also be cute. Zhao Yanzi opened a small packet of sausages and poured them into Little White’s mouth.

Duan Yao sat on the stone chair, watching from one meter away as they ate happily. She felt bitter in her heart and even more so in her stomach.

They hadn’t beaten or humiliated her, but not letting her eat while they enjoyed their meal was also a form of torture...

She was a Core Formation cultivator, but with her spirit energy locked up, she was no different from an ordinary person—she couldn't run away and wouldn’t be able to fight back. Her stomach kept growling uncontrollably...

"Here, take this," Zhao Yanzi looked at Duan Yao and walked over with a can of potato chips.

Duan Yao stared enviously as Huo Ren and the others ate but, without hesitation, raised her hand and slapped the chips onto the ground when Zhao Yanzi approached her.

"You..." Zhao Yanzi’s eyes widened in anger.

Although Duan Yao was her enemy, Zhao Yanzi wasn’t so heartless as to abuse her after eating herself full. But Duan Yao’s attitude towards such an offer was truly surprising...

"I won't eat your food. I will definitely kill you," Duan Yao glared ferociously at Zhao Yanzi.

Zhao Yanzi, hearing these words, felt so angry that her face contorted—this girl from the sixth layer of heaven was truly brutal; she always talked about fighting and killing.

Zhao Yanzi had a bit of a temper but was generally forgiving. At least she didn’t have malicious intentions towards others. Like how she looked down on Xie Yujia in the past, finding everything about her unsatisfactory, yet never thought to harm her.

And if Duan Yao hadn't been so aggressive back then, Zhao Yanzi wouldn’t have harbored such resentment against her either. Stealing her things was just a form of small revenge for being treated so harshly by her.

Now that she had been captured, Duan Yao still acted like a tigress...

Zhao Yanzǐ's temper flared up instantly. Unlike Xie Yujia, she was not very patient; picking up the can of potato chips from the ground, she slammed it down on the table and sat directly opposite Duan Yao.

The distance between them was half a table. Currently unable to wield her spiritual power, Duan Yao was just an ordinary girl. Seeing Zhao Yanzǐ adopt such a threatening posture, she gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and prepared herself for a showdown with Zhao Yanzǐ.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yanzǐ did not attack her but instead opened the can of chips and pulled out a row of them. She sat across from Duan Yao and began to munch on the chips loudly.

Duan Yao looked at Zhao Yanzǐ in shock, unable to understand what she was trying to do.

Crack...

Crack...

Zhao Yanzǐ ate the potato chips one by one right in front of Duan Yao.

The scent of the chips wafted towards Duan Yao's nose, making her even hungrier.

Whizz...

Xiao Bai, after having its fill, flew out from the cave.

Spotting the golden shield floating high in the air, it found it strange and roared at it, then spat a fireball.

The golden shield was rotating slightly. Upon seeing Xiao Bai's fireball, it immediately fired back with a beam of golden light.

Puff

The fireball and the golden light neutralized each other.

Mmm...

Xiao Bai, after eating to its heart's content, was about to exercise by spitting out three more fireballs.

The golden shield leisurely sent out three small shields. The smaller shields absorbed the fireballs and flew toward Xiao Bai.

Haven't seen such an array before, Xiao Bai immediately turned tail and ran.

Whirr...

The golden shield launched another three small shields.

Xiao Bai whirled around and swiped at the gold shield with its paws, only to realize that they were all illusions. Angered, it flew straight up toward the floating golden shield.

A treasure called a "Heavenly Spiritual Treasure" had a formidable spiritual aura, while Xiao Bai's was on par with it. The bored golden shield in the valley seemed to have found a playmate and shot out several small shields.

Xiao Bai targeted these as illusions and charged straight at them but was thrown back two meters, dizzy and disoriented.

The golden shield sent out dozens of smaller shields around it, floating proudly in the air to mock Xiao Bai.

Roar...

The fireballs imbued with the Samadhi True Flame were spewed out from Xiao Bai's throat.

Hao Ren heard the commotion outside his cave and hurried to the entrance. He saw that Xiao Bai was on the ground while Jin Guang Shield was in the air, playfully battling each other.

The purple-gold hairpin was stuck into the earth and remained motionless as if it had nothing to do with them.

Xiao Bai got angry after being hit a few more times by Jin Guang Shield. It flailed its golden claws rapidly, breaking several small circular shields in an instant.

Today’s fight against the fourth-stage Snow Lion left Xiao Bai at a disadvantage, leaving him in a bad mood. Being teased further by a magical treasure only made him angrier.

Jin Guang Shield was a sentient object that saw Xiao Bai's agitation and became quite amused. It fired out another dozen small shields continuously.

It wasn't under Hao Ren’s control but instead possessed its own weak independent will. When Xiao Bai spewed fireballs at it, it could naturally defend itself.

Zhao Yanzi asked worriedly, "Is Xiao Bai okay"

"This golden shield hasn’t hurt him; they’re just playing around." Xie Yujia looked up and said to Jin Guang Shield.

She could sense that the spirit of this Jin Guang Shield far surpassed Su Han's Green Jade Sword. However, such a powerful magical treasure remained with Hao Ren instead of flying away, which was indeed strange.

But then again, Xiao Bai usually did nothing but eat and sleep. Having the golden shield train him could help burn off some excess fat while enhancing his combat capabilities.

The three of them stood at the cave entrance watching as Xiao Bai and Jin Guang Shield fought each other. In the cave, Duan Yao quietly got up to look for an escape route.

However, when she saw that the cave was connected to a pill-refining room, which was a sealed space with no other exits, all hope died in her heart.

She returned to the table and looked at Zhao Yanzi's leftover chips on it. After hesitating for a few seconds, she quickly grabbed one and put it into her mouth.

She was starving but had been pretending not to be hungry in front of Zhao Yanzi, almost losing consciousness from lack of strength.

How could she escape without food Duan Yao didn’t want to sit idly by waiting for death.

However, the chip filled her mouth with an indescribable flavor instantly after entering it.

The crispy and salty snack was extremely delicious.

Duan Yao saw that the three of them were still standing at the cave entrance. She immediately grabbed a handful and stuffed them into her mouth.

In her eyes, Zhao Yanzi's group seemed mysterious and might be cultivators from the Seventh Heavens.

Just like how low-stage dragon cultivators didn't know about the existence of the Fifth Heaven, not all human cultivators knew about the First Heaven either.

No matter if it was a dragon cultivator or a human one, they were wary that blind adventurism and excessive curiosity might endanger lower-stage cultivators.

Especially for someone like Duan Yao, who has just reached the Condensation Core stage, information about the First Layer of Heaven is kept from her.

In reality, cultivators above the Fifth Layer of Heaven know very little about the First Layer of Heaven. Those human cultivators who regularly probe into the First Layer are only active at the boundary between the First and Second Layers; they would never dare to enter cities within the layer under normal circumstances.

The cities in the First Layer are filled with dragon cultivators. If a human is discovered, it would mean instant extermination. Once a dragon cultivator reaches the Shaking Realm (akin to the Condensation Core stage for humans), they become extremely dangerous to human cultivators. Therefore, cities in the First Layer are considered the most perilous places for them.

Duan Yao grew up on the Sixth Layer of Heaven and has no knowledge of the existence of the First Layer or its cities. Her education was about rigorous cultivation, striving to reach the Nascent Soul stage, and eliminating any obstacles to her cultivation path.

Her cultivation journey had been smooth sailing until she encountered her first inner demon in Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren.

"I can't beat this guy..." As Zhao Yanzi spoke, she turned around.

Suddenly, she noticed that the bag of chips on the table was completely empty.

Duan Yao still had a furious expression on her face and seemed to have been sitting in her chair throughout. However, there were some chip crumbs at the corner of her mouth.

Zhao Yanzi ran over and asked, "Where are the chips"

"I haven't eaten them," Duan Yao pouted and answered.

Looking at her with admiration, Zhao Yanzi sighed, "Wow, you're more skillful than me. You can lie so confidently."

"Hmph... When my great-uncle shows up..."

Bam! Before Duan Yao could finish speaking, Zhao Yanzi's fist hit her on the head.

The same few sentences over and over. Is your great-uncle really that powerful Zhao Yanzi thought to herself as she pulled back her hand.

Duan Yao frowned and held her head while glaring at Zhao Yanzi.

She was a Condensation Core cultivator, while Zhao Yanzi was merely Foundation Establishment. Once Duan Yao's mana returned, even ten Zhao Yanzis wouldn't be able to beat her in an unarmed fight.

"When your great-uncle comes... we'll beat him back!" Zhao Yanzi sternly lectured her.

"My great-uncle will definitely..."

Bam! Duan Yao was about to argue when another punch from Zhao Yanzi hit her on the head again.

Duan Yao held her head, tears welling up in her eyes.

When my great-uncle appears, you won't be able to escape. She dared not say it out loud this time but screamed it silently in her mind.

"Hahaha... I am here to pay respects to Grandmaster Medicine King. May I have the honor of meeting him" put away by Hao Ren.Zhao Yanzi, upon touching solid ground again, nearly collapsed from her legs going weak. Holding onto Hao Ren, she suddenly realized that her chest was pressed against his back, h...
