A RECORD OF A MORTAL'S JOURNEY TO IMMORTALITY

Chapter 191 - Chapter 200

Chapter 191: Disloyalty and Solitude

To the west side of the central area, precious medicines herbs grew in the ravines. Three cultivators were battling fiercely with a three-eyed Flame Wolf; a middle-aged man wearing the robes of the Giant Sword Sect controlled a huge azure sword, which blocked most of the Flame Wolf's attacks. At the same time, a yellow-robed old man and a young man wearing a gray Daoist robe provided supporting attacks from the sides.

In a short time, the disciple from the Giant Sword Sect went all out and beheaded the wolf's body in one fluid swing, getting hit by a huge fireball in the process. Then, he sheathed his giant sword and began to laugh while looking into the sky.

"Brother Meng's magic power really is very profound, capable of kiling this three-eyed Flame Wolf in one slash! You are worthy of being called one of the Giant Sword Sect's brilliant disciples......" the yellow-robed old man, seeing the circumstances, immediately ran over diligently and began to unceasingly fawn over him; his face bore no traces of flushing.

If Han Li was there, he would have recognized this old man as the one who had initially invited him to form an alliance with the weaker members. His name was Xiang Zhili. However, the young disciple from the same sect as him was no longer there; it seemed that when they were being transported, he had strayed off.

"Hehe, if it wasn't for Brother Xiang and Daoist Priest Li's assistance from the sides, success would not have been so easy!" The middle-aged man who wore a black robe and held his sword was actually very modest.

"Brother Meng, there's no need to be courteous! You were able to get rid of this kind of demonic beast, so you deserve all the credit. There's no room for debate!" The other young Daoist Priest, although young in age, spoke neither overbearing nor in a servile way. He was clearly an experienced individual.

Hearing what was spoken, a trace of a smile appeared on the black-clothed, middle-aged man's face, but he immediately spoke a few more modest sentences.

"Speaking of which, the other people who are still fighting really are silly! If they knew that the three of us could actually work together to defeat these demonic beasts and collect medicinal ingredients despite being from different sects, it's possible that they would be so shocked their jaws would fall off!" The black-clothed man spoke, suddenly changing the subject.

"Of course! This all came about because of Brother Xiang! If it wasn't for Brother Xiang making everything thoroughly clear, perhaps Brother Meng and I would probably still be fighting to the death!" The Daoist Priest nodded his head as he spoke.

"You praise me too highly! You are both extremely smart people; all I did was speak the truth! Nobody needs to waste their lives trying to retrieve items that could never end up in the hands of people like us. How great is it that everyone ignores the precious medicinal ingredients outside of the central area because they're too busy killing each other! In addition, if we all work together, dealing with these demonic beasts is a piece of cake!" Xiang Zhili giggled happily, glibly and repeatedly declining politely.

Hearing this, the other two people began another frenzied round of flattery.

"Okay, we should quickly move and pick the 'Fire Dragon Grass'! Everybody gets an equally large portion!" It was the black-clothed man who first ran out of patience and spoke. His voice revealed a hint of urgency, and after saying this he began to walk towards a few clumps of red grass behind the body of the Flame Wolf.

Hearing this, Xiang Zhili and the Daoist Priest smiled at each other with hidden meanings in their eyes; then, they walked towards him, their mouths full of words of agreement.
