Xiao Cao’s expression changed greatly when she saw the scene. Although Ye Mo’s appearance had made her overjoyed, with Ye Mo’s strength, he wouldn’t be able to defend against these 20 beasts all at once.

What followed was an unforgettable scene for the two men controlling the beasts.

Ye Mo disappeared. He completely disappeared. When the two men came back to their senses, they felt a chill on the back of their necks. The two of them where hit by Ye Mo’s attack and they fell to the ground with a shocked expression on their faces.

Ye Mo had used the Five Elements Dragon Board and flown behind the two men. Then, he used a surprise attack to kill the two experts in the early Profound Heavens Realm.

These two warriors in the early Profound Heavens Realm had cultivated a technique that manipulated dead bodies. But their own cultivation wasn’t very high, so Ye Mo killed them immediately after he made his move.

As for the 20 beasts, because they were no longer under control, they all turned into corpses and fell to the ground.

Without saying a word, Ye Mo picked out the Demonic Crystals from the beasts and put them into the Xu Mi Pouch. He put the corpses into the Devil Refining Gourd.

“Young Master, is that you?” asked Xiao Cao.

“Xiao Cao, it’s me.” Ye Mo dispersed his Transcendence Golden Body. Although he had changed his style, his appearance couldn’t be camouflaged.

When Xiao Cao saw the familiar figure, she threw herself into Ye Mo’s arms and began to cry.

“Young Master, I thought I’d never see you again,” she cried.

Xiao Cao sobbed again and again.

“It’s okay Xiao Cao, aren’t I doing fine? You know, when I learned that you had left the Tianwu Kingdom, I was extremely anxious.” Ye Mo stroked Xiao Cao’s beautiful hair and began to comfort her.

“You’re Ye Mo?”

At that moment, Liu Xing stood up. He had watched Ye Mo’s performance. No wonder the woman he loved with all his heart was always thinking about another man.

“Brother Liu, let me introduce you,” Xiao Cao said. “This is my Young Master, Ye Mo. Young Master, this is Liu Xing. It was him who saved me and taught me cultivation.”

“Brother Liu, I’m Ye Mo. Thank you for taking care of Xiao Cao,” Ye Mo said to Liu Xing, as he cupping his hands. Ye Mo’s face was very sincere.

“Don’t mention it. I’m willing to take care of Xiao Cao.” Liu Xing waved his hand and smiled kindly.

Ye Mo raised his eyebrows. This Liu Xing was a good person. He also seemed to like Xiao Cao very much. Ye Mo couldn’t object.

If the two of them really liked each other, then Ye Mo wouldn’t stop them from being together.

“In that case, let’s form a team to kill the beasts,” Ye Mo said with a smile. “It’ll be much safer with more people.”

“Okay!” Xiao Cao readily agreed.

By the time the 20 Demonic Crystals had been removed from the beasts, the sky had already dimmed. The three of them found a cave and hid inside it.

“Ye Mo, is this your first time taking part in the Battle of the Thousand Cities?” Liu Xing asked.

“Yes. I’m the Deputy Castellan of the Ice City.” Ye Mo nodded. “The Castellan and I got separated, so I’ve been looking for her.”

“In five days, there will be a Thousand Cities List,” Liu Xing said. “We need to kill more strange beasts.”

“Thousand Cities List? What’s that?” Ye Mo asked curiously.

“This Thousand Cities List shows the resources that will appear in the Palaces at the end of the first stage of the battle, as well as the number of Demonic Crystals needed to exchange for the resources. It also has the rankings for the number of Demonic Crystals each of the Castellans possess. But the ranking will only show the top ten.”

Liu Xing had obviously participated in several Battles of the Thousand Cities, so he was very clear on the details.

“They have something like that?” Ye Mo was a little surprised.

Liu Xing nodded. “With the emergence of the Thousand Cities List, the participating Castellans will know how many Demonic Crystals they still need to obtain to be able to exchange the resources they need. They’ll also know the gap between themselves and other Castellans.”

“What resources will appear in the Palaces?” Ye Mo continued to ask.

“It’s hard to say,” Liu Xing said. “There once was a Battle of the Thousand Cities where a Mid-grade Celestial Weapon appeared inside the Gold Palace. It was taken by an expert in the late Profound Heavens Realm. There was also another Battle of the Thousand Cities where a drop of Zhu Immortal Blood appeared inside the Bronze Palace. It’s all based on luck. And you can only enter one Palace to exchange resources, so you must have luck and strength.”

Luck to run into the resources one needed, and strength to have enough Demonic Crystals.

If the Magical Treasure that a person needed very much appeared within a Palace, then no one would care. But, without a lot of Demonic Crystals on hand, it would all be in vain.

“For the first stage, we’re all in our own respective competition areas,” Liu Xing said. “Once you reach the second stage, then all the contestants will rush to the center of the Black Jade Mountains. When that time arrives, there will be many experts in the late Profound Heavens Realm. That’ll be the most dangerous time. Xiao Cao and I plan to exchange the resources from the first stage and then forfeit the competition.”

The first stage of the competition was to kill different beasts in their respective competition areas and prey on each other. But, in the second stage, all the experts would be together, like a qualifying competition, where everyone could fight each other. Therefore, the degree of danger was much higher than in the first stage.

At the end of the second stage, everyone would exchange for resources again. The third stage was when the real madness would begin.

When that time came, the competition would be incomparably fierce.

Many Castellans came to participate in only the first stage of the competition. Some would quit after participating in the second stage.

Their purpose was to exchange for resources. They could exchange resources after killing beasts.

It was presumed that only the Chaos Palace would have that kind of resources.

Ye Mo didn’t object to Liu Xing and Xiao Cao’s plan.

Over the next five days, Ye Mo, Liu Xing, and Xiao Cao had formed a team of three. They centered around a point and began to kill beasts.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The three of them went through the dense woods. They found huge footprints within a large grove of trees. It was obvious that the beasts had passed through there.

Generally speaking, the bigger the beasts were, the stronger they were.

In the distance, three beasts in the early Profound Heavens Realm appeared.

They didn’t just kill the beasts for the Demonic Crystals. It also honed one’s cultivation.

This was the first time they had met a beast in the Profound Heavens Realm.

The three of them slowly showed themselves. Then, they slowly approached the three beasts.

“I’m going to test these beasts’ strength.” Liu Xing seemed to want to show off in front of Xiao Cao. He crept closer to the three beasts.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He made a sneak attack. His Long Sword was a High-grade Bejeweled Weapon, it stabbed the backs of the three beasts. It made the sounds of a metal collision, but only managed to make the three beasts stagger a few steps.

Three shots hit them, to no avail.

The three beasts roared. A fist hard as steel the size of a human head suddenly attacked back at Liu Xing.

Boom!

The huge steel fist made a severe attack as it hit Liu Xing in the chest. With just a muffled sound, Liu Xing’s body flew out dozens of meters, breaking many giant trees one after another.

With one punch, Liu Xing, who was in the early Profound Heavens Realm, was knocked back!
