Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

Chapter 1253 - 80: The Secret Treasure in the Mountains

Boss Peng Yu said this and then secretly observed Yun Sheng’s expression.

"To be honest, young lady, we have another significant discovery in the Eight Desolate Mountain Range; deep within the mountains, there’s a sizable Inheritance Pillar Forest." Boss Peng Yu knew that by giving up the Great Witch Doctor, if the other party found out in the future, it would surely mean death, so he chose to betray the Great Witch Doctor and side with Yun Sheng.

In order to gain Yun Sheng’s trust, he also divulged the secret that he had kept hidden in his heart.

"Inheritance Pillar Forest? What is that? Why have we never heard of it when entering the mountain range?" Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang showed a bit of surprise.

They came to the Eight Desolate Mountain Range on this trip to search for the inheritance pillar, but along the way, they didn’t see any trace of it. Unexpectedly, they learned about the inheritance pillar from Boss Peng Yu’s words.

"This information hasn’t been publicly disclosed yet. The story of the Inheritance Pillar Forest is a long one. We three brothers, due to being hunted early on, have been hiding in the Eight Desolate Mountain Range. This mountain range is vast and boundless, but not long ago, we discovered a large ancient seal, and within the seal, there are actually a lot of inheritance pillars." Boss Peng Yu, fearing Yun Sheng’s disbelief, described the situation vividly.

The Pengyu Three Demons have been hunted by the Bahuang Tribe, especially by several major upper beast clans, which have been relentlessly pursuing them.

The three brothers also learned that there might be powerful inheritance pillars left by the Pengyu Clan ancestors within the Eight Desolate Mountain Range, so over the years, they have been searching for the Pengyu Clan’s inheritance pillars while serving the Great Witch Doctor.

However, due to extensive searches and excavations at the periphery of the Eight Desolate Mountain Range, the remaining inheritance pillars are either of poor quality or have lost their inheritance power due to age.

The Three Demons had made no discoveries until three months ago, when the Pengyu Three Demons found a map on a passerby’s corpse, indicating the existence of a suspicious seal in the core area of the Eight Desolate Mountain Range.

It is said to be deliberately left by the first batch of ancestors of the Eight Desolate Beast Clan when they first arrived at the Bahuang Continent to prevent the clan inheritance from being lost.

However, the seal is quite peculiar, and is not easily broken by ordinary people.

"We three brothers, following the map’s guidance, arrived at the seal’s location and entered the seal." Boss Peng Yu, speaking to this point, felt some lingering fear.

They ventured into the seal, feeling as if they were in a maze, and ultimately failed to acquire the inheritance smoothly.

"Is there any Sky Fox Inheritance Pillar inside?" Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang both became somewhat interested.

"The seal contains the inheritance of various beast clans, so there must be Sky Fox inheritance inside," Boss Peng Yu said awkwardly. "According to the map, only by finding the location of the seal eye can the seal be broken, allowing the strongest inheritance pillars to see the light of day. With our three brothers’ abilities at the time, we couldn’t find the seal eye’s location."

The Pengyu Three Demons had no choice but to inform a few of their old friends about this discovery.

Originally, they intended to use everyone’s power to break the seal together, but unexpectedly, those guys actually leaked the information.

"Leaked to whom?" Yun Sheng pursued the question, silently scornful in her heart, thinking that the Pengyu Three Demons were really too foolish.

The Inheritance Pillar Forest is a great opportunity, yet they recklessly disclosed it.

No wonder it’s said that three monks have no water to drink; these Three Demons are a typical example of one who fails in doing anything properly.

Fortunately, the Three Demons offended too many people, and didn’t have many friends on the continent. They only told a member of the Bimong Clan and a member of the Pengyu Clan.

Those two individuals respectively reported the information upwards, and now people from the Bimong Clan and Pengyu Clan have already sent people into the Eight Desolate Mountain Range.

According to the Three Demons, both sides have hundreds of people, led by masters from their respective clans.

The Pengyu Three Demons knew they were no match and could only hide at the periphery. As a result, that underground Inheritance Pillar Forest ended up being occupied.

The Bimong Clan and the Pengyu Clan each have hundreds of people.

Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang both frowned slightly.

This news is indeed not very good.

They only have two people, and behind them, those Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintesses are eyeing them covetously. At this moment, it’s clearly not suitable for a direct confrontation.

"Let’s pause for a moment, and after dawn, we’ll head to the map location and explore." Yun Sheng temporarily decided.

While organizing themselves, Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang discovered that Qin Yue was missing.

"That woman must have escaped. She saw you settle the Pengyu Three Demons and realized she couldn’t compete. That woman is vicious, she even did something as wicked as devouring the hearts of her kin. I should have dealt with her more harshly," Lu Yunshuang said, regretfully.

"It’s no big deal; she alone won’t cause much trouble. What’s more important now is to follow Boss Peng Yu’s instructions and find a way to approach the seal area where the Inheritance Pillar Forest is located," Yun Sheng said after collecting Hua Yanluo and Feng Lian’s ashes and decided to bring back their ashes to Qian Lang after leaving the Eight Desolate Mountain Range.

Not long after dawn, Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang, led by Boss Peng Yu, set off together to the seal location.

For most people in the Eight Desolate Mountain Range, that night was certainly unforgettable.

Towards the Sky Fox Camp, the numerous Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintesses were panting heavily. Even Hu Linglong, who had always been graceful and elegant, was looking battered, with injuries on her body and face.

All around the camp were the severed limbs of the Demon Beasts, leaving the strategically advantaged Sky Fox Camp looking like a scene from a Shura field.

Most of the candidate Heavenly Fox Saintesses were injured. Two Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintesses died on the spot.

After a night of battle, only Hu Linglong and Yu Shang were completely unharmed,

"It’s unbelievable, where did so many Demon Beasts come from." Hu Linglong complained angrily, kicking away the corpse of a Holy-grade Fire-spotted Wolf.

Their camp, clearly positioned away from the Demon Beast gathering area, was suddenly besieged by so many Demon Beasts.

The previous evening, Hu Linglong was in a good mood after having driven Yun Sheng and Lu Yunshuang away.

But this good mood only lasted until the first half of the night.

In the second half of the night, she first heard a series of eagle cries, and then a swarm of Eagle-headed Leopards appeared over the camp, numbering around fifty or sixty.

Those Eagle-headed Leopards were furious, as if the Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintesses had dug up their ancestral graves, attacking the camp crazily.

Due to the sudden arrival of the Eagle-headed Leopards, and being completely unprepared, a Heavenly Fox Candidate Saintess was seized by the enraged Eagle-headed Leopard Queen and torn in half in mid-air.

Just when Hu Linglong and Yu Shang had organized their forces and killed the Eagle-headed Leopard Queen and her subordinates, worse things happened.
