Xiao Li’s unexpected arrival didn’t have much impact on them.

What Jiang Hao was more concerned about wasn’t the trouble Xiao Li might bring, but whether it would anger Hong Yuye.

However, the plan was flawed. With the Dragon Pearl, Xiao Li was unrivaled in the Corpse Realm. She didn’t need practice at all.

It took some time for Jiang Hao to ask about what Xiao Li had done from the three Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.

There was no food left, so they didn’t linger in the Blood Tide forever. After that, they captured a lightning beast and hurried here. They didn’t explain it clearly, but Jiang Hao understood everything.

For food, Xiao Li would go to great lengths.

These things didn’t matter. But now he knew that Xiao Li would always find her way to him even if he set her free. That would bring trouble.

Xiao Li sat beside Hong Yuye and talked about everything she had seen along the way.

“Senior Sister, I saw something strange under the trees, and it looked at me sneakily,” Xiao Li said. “It felt weird, so I glanced back at it, and then, it ran away. I don’t know what it was.”

While Xiao Li talked, Jiang Hao listened.

Was there something strange under the Blood Tide Forest?

It wasn’t entirely impossible. Some places were simply inaccessible, whether during the night or the day.

There was always a need to retreat somewhere safe.

Even when a place appeared safe, it had lingering danger inside.

If one avoided it, they’d be fine.

Therefore, the eerie kind of danger always existed but was outside the rules. If anyone didn’t follow the Blood Tide Forest’s rules, they might encounter the danger head – on.

“Are you planning to stay here?” Jiang Hao asked Bai Shuang and the other two.

“Huh?” The three were a bit nervous.

This place wasn’t the Blood Tide Forest. Once they left Jiang Xiao Li, it would be very dangerous.

The danger didn’t just come from others. It was also from the environment.

“We need to help Senior Jiang Xiao Li find food,” Bai Shuang quickly said. Once they run out of their usefulness, they might be abandoned. That was most terrifying for them.

Jiang Hao knew their concerns. “You’re overthinking. I just wanted to ask… don’t you plan to seek opportunities?”

“Seek opportunities?” The three looked at each other. They thought that the opportunities here were for strong people and didn’t dare to think about it.

“Yes, opportunities.” Jiang Hao nodded.

These three people were all on the verge of reaching the Golden Core Realm. As long as they obtained opportunities, they could ascend to the Golden Core Realm. There might be no one who ventured into the Thousand Feet Mountain for opportunities since they were useless to them.

“Our cultivation is low, and we don’t dare to take risks here,” said Bai Shuang.

Jiang Hao said, “Go on. There shouldn’t be anyone here in the Thousand Feet Mountain to trouble you.”

That made them feel awkwvard.

How could a Golden Core Realm cultivator say such things?

But they didn’t dare to speak out or refuse.

“Don’t worry. Senior Brother doesn’t lie,” Xiao Li said.

Hong Yuye turned to look at Jiang Hao and smirked.

Bai Shuang and the other two smiled bitterly. They had no choice but to leave.

They felt that they were being pushed away. They had come all the way and faced hardships to get Xiao Li here, yet they were being abandoned now.

The three took a few steps ahead and looked back at Xiao Li. They hoped she would tell them to stay.

But in the end, Jiang Xiao Li didn’t say anything. After leaving the pavilion, they walked cautiously away.

The sky was clear, but disaster could strike at any moment.

They were lucky. They had walked for half a day without any problems.

Then, they realized that their luck was not just good, it was extraordinary.

Not long after, they saw a glowing tree.

There were nine fruits on the tree. There was no one around.

“It seems like it’s about to ripen,” Bai Shuang said.

“Will beasts be guarding them?” Zhong Fahu asked worriedly.

“Doesn’t seem like it,” said a woman as she looked around. The three dared not relax and approached cautiously.

Soon, they arrived at the tree. The fruits were ripe.

They wanted to pluck them quickly and leave. However, at that moment, two auras approached.

A man and a woman’s aura collided. The two fought.

“Fellow Daoist, I found it first!” said the woman in gray robes. “You must be joking! I was here first!” said the man with a stubble.

Bai Shuang and the other two trembled.

They even found it difficult to move.

At that moment, the two figures negotiated and went their separate ways.

However, when they came down, they found three Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators standing there.

Bai Shuang hurriedly said, “Please forgive us, Seniors. We just happened to pass by and had no other intentions.”

“It’s best that way,” said the man with a stubble.

In an instant, an intense pressure spread.

However, just as the pressure was about to touch the three, a purple aura circulated around them.

In an instant, the man with stubble saw a pair of eyes.

That gaze looked at him as if it could shake the heavens and earth.

Instantly, the fire of his spirit burned.

The man with stubble was terrified and instinctively took a few steps back.

Fortunately, the fire of his spirit vanished.

The woman in the gray robe beside him didn’t feel anything, but she noticed something unusual.

“Where are you three from?” she asked, but quickly realized her question was wrong and corrected herself. “Do you know anyone here?”

“We followed a senior here. She’s at a pavilion nearby,” Bai Shuang said. “Ahh… so you are here on behalf of those two seniors,” said the man with a stubble and laughed. “Since you are here, we can all share. There is enough for everyone.” He turned to the gray-robed woman. “What do you think?”

The woman in gray robes quickly nodded. “Yes, that’s right. So, should we split them three ways?”

The two looked at Bai Shuang and the others.

At that moment, they felt a bit strange, as if their status had changed.

Their opponent’s wariness was visible on their faces.

What were they wary of? Jiang Xiao Li?

That was impossible. They were talking about two seniors, after all.

The two…

In an instant, they realized their mistake.

Jiang Xiao Li’s senior brother wasn’t joking. He really wanted them to have opportunities here.

What he said was true. No one would trouble them in the Thousand Feet Mountain.

They had encountered the most powerful seniors without even realizing it.

Opportunities were right in front of them, and they had nearly missed it.

After dividing the fruits, the two politely bid them farewell. Then, they left.

“Do you think we are being looked after by an unknown senior?” Bai Shuang asked.

The other two nodded.

They followed Jiang Xiao Li to survive. Unexpectedly, they had run into opportunities with a senior’s protection..
