Chapter 1351: Chapter 1299: Found the Canyon 4

Apart from the Xuanyin Sect, there were also masters from other sects.

But without exception, they all suffered heavy losses.

To his surprise, Ye Guichen even discovered that Feng Wuxiu had followed them.

Although Feng Wuxiu had lost an arm, he was indeed a Sword Dao genius. He seemed to know how to evade after engaging with the beasts.

He walked very cautiously and had not experienced many fierce battles.

Moreover, Ye Guichen also saw Qin Muge and Feng Chuchu besieged by beasts.

However, at a distance of hundreds of miles, it was impossible for Ye Guichen to help.

Those fragmented souls could serve as Ye Guichen’s eyes, but they didn’t have much combat power.

There was one place that caught Ye Guichen’s attention.

It was the core of this mountain range.

There were Spirit Beast Sect people active there, but even the fragmented souls seemed afraid to enter, as if fearing something.

If his guess was correct, that should be the place rumored by the Spirit Beast Sect to have a hidden treasure.

"Let’s find a way to get the treasure first." Ye Guichen stood up and took a few pills to stave off hunger.

Although his cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, he hadn’t reached the point of not needing food or drink.

But with Alchemy at his side, Ye Guichen wasn’t worried about sustenance now.

With just one pill, he could go three days without food.

Of course, no matter how good a Spirit Pill is, it can’t compare to real delicacies.

But under these circumstances, it was evident he couldn’t care about that much.

After collecting all the fragmented souls, Ye Guichen instinctively glanced inside the Jiuyou Tower.

Gui Tuo was still in the Jiuyou Tower, but since entering it, Gui Tuo seemed to have been in a perpetual sleep, likely cultivating.

As for the soul named Yan Fang, trapped in the Jiuyou Tower for so long without escaping, guarded by Little Black, he had lost his previous arrogance and begged daily.

But begging was of no use.

His eyes were somewhat hollow now, day after day lost in thought.

Ye Guichen hadn’t decided how to deal with Yan Fang’s soul, he simply shook his head and stored the Jiuyou Tower, then checked the contents of the storage ring.

Besides some things from before, Ye Guichen had gained quite a few beast inner cores during his journey.

These inner cores were the essence of the beasts, containing potent energy.

They were no less than Spirit Stones. If he could absorb the energy within, it would surely benefit his cultivation.

"Only four seventh-level beasts and ten sixth-level beasts have been slain on this journey. There were quite a lot below sixth-level, over thirty, but the inner cores of the beasts seem to be useless to me now."

Ye Guichen counted the beast inner cores, musing to himself.

Right now was clearly not the time to extract the inner core’s energy.

However, having a good reserve of inner cores could be useful for crafting some pills later.

After inventorying his possessions, Ye Guichen stood up and headed toward the canyon hiding the treasure.

This time, Ye Guichen already had feedback from the fragmented souls. He would only try to kill beasts above the sixth level to obtain their inner cores, while completely ignoring lower-level beasts, directly passing by.

Given Ye Guichen’s current speed, it wasn’t difficult to avoid detection by the beasts.

In no time, Ye Guichen reached the canyon’s edge.

He instantly noticed Li Yuanshou’s head impaled on a spear.

"Elder Li..." Ye Guichen looked at Li Yuanshou’s face, still bearing a terrified expression, his eyes wide open. He gently sighed and went forward to close his eyes, saying, "For the sake of our acquaintance, let me bury you."

Ye Guichen took Li Yuanshou’s head off the spear, dug a casual pit, and buried it.

After completing all this, Ye Guichen was just about to leap into the canyon when he heard a cold laugh behind him: "Oh, little brother, it’s quite impressive that you managed to find this place!"
