Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough - Chapter 1366: Hard time Staying on the Safe Path...

Continuing to move along the safe passage, it didn’t take long before Chu Yang managed to encounter another group of demon beasts that had decided to lay down directly on the path itself. Blocking it and preventing him from continuing forward without first fighting them off.

Normally, this was what he had done so far when encountering demon beasts blocking his path. However, the group of demon beasts blocking his path this time around were all in the Domain Lord Realm, with one of them even having reached the Later Stages of the Domain Lord Realm.

Even if he was confident in his strength, he was clear that the group of demon beasts currently blocking his path were far too strong for him to face on his own.

So, with that in mind, he was left with only being able to try and go around them before continuing along the safe passage. Hoping that he wouldn’t end up encountering another Soul Ascension Realm demon beast as he made his way around this group of demon beasts. Understanding that his current strength was far from enough to face off against a Soul Ascension Realm demon beast.

Rustle~

Like this, Chu Yang found himself rapidly moving through a few bushes as he moved around the group of demon beasts relaxing on the path. Doing his best to try and remain hidden without being discovered by any of the demon beasts in the process.

Roar?

Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to fully hide himself while sneaking around the group of demon beasts, as one of the stronger ones among them ended up noticing him, as it turned its head to look almost directly at him with a somewhat confused expression on its face.

Wait! It shouldn’t have discovered me yet, but just heard the sound of the bushes moving! As long as it doesn’t use its divine sense, I should still be fine…!

Realizing that the demon beast hadn’t actually ended up discovering him upon seeing the somewhat confused expression, Chu Yang held his breath as he prayed for it to not use its divine sense to investigate the situation.

Roar~

Luckily, one of the younger and weaker demon beasts jumped up in front of the confused demon beast. Drawing its attention away, as Chu Yang took the opportunity to continue making his way around the group of demon beasts before they had a chance to notice him. Just barely avoiding detection as he found himself back on the safe passage once again. Having successfully managed to avoid encountering the group of demon beasts.

Rooar~!

“…”

However, his happiness of being back on the safe passage didn’t last for long, as he soon came face to face with another group of demon beasts blocking his path.

Even worse, this group of demon beasts was stronger than the last one. Making it far more challenging to move around them compared to the last group.

Boom!

Unexpectedly, as he was about to start veering off the path to move around the group of demon beasts, an explosion sounded out in the distance before a powerful shockwave hit the group of demon beasts. Sending some of the weaker demon beasts blocking the path flying in his direction.

ROOOOAR-!

In response, the strongest demon beast let out a powerful roar before getting up and charging in the direction of the explosion filled with killing intent towards the one behind the explosion that had injured the weaker demon beasts.

Not long after the strongest demon beast in the group made a move, the rest soon followed in charging towards the location of the explosion together with their leader, while the weaker ones retreated towards a nearby cave for safety.

In turn also clearing the path in the process, giving Chu Yang the opportunity to continue along the path without having to worry about veering off the path trying to avoid the group of demon beasts.

Of course, he understood that this entire thing wouldn’t be that easy, as the explosion just now and the direction that the group of demon beasts had moved in was just further along the path… And from the sounds of battle, he could hear erupting a short distance away from him, he guessed that the path was likely still being blocked by the battle that should have broken out between the demon beasts and the one behind the explosion…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Indeed, as he moved past the place that had been blocked by the demon beasts not too long ago, Chu Yang ended up staring directly at a large-scale battle between different demon beasts from the mountain range and a large group of humans who seemed to be desperately fighting off the demon beasts that seemed to be swarming towards.

Among those fighting, the one who seemed to catch his attention almost immediately was someone in the Soul Ascension Realm locked in battle with a massive black bird demon beast in the Soul Ascension Realm.

Wait… Those people look familiar- Ah! It’s those people from the Mountain Demon City! To think I would encounter them now of all times…

Suddenly recognizing one of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who seemed busy fighting with some of the weaker demon beasts charging over filled with killing intent, Chu Yang realized that the group of humans busy fighting off the large number of demon beasts was none other than the group of cultivators from the Mountain Demon City he had seen heading into the mountain range to explore some kind of ancient ruin.

From the looks of things, it didn’t go as planned. Making him feel grateful for the fact that he didn’t end up being forced to join them.

Even the Soul Ascension Realm cultivator who was more than strong enough to wander into the mountain range on his own was caught up in a difficult situation faced with the black bird demon beast in the Soul Ascension Realm.

Looks like I will either have to wait for the battle to finish or find a way to sneak around without being discovered if I want to get to the other side of the mountain range…

Narrowing both of his eyes as he thought this to himself, Chu Yang glanced in the direction of the safe passage that had essentially turned into the center of the battle between the humans and demon beasts.

If he wanted to continue going through the mountain range, it looked like it was going to be rather dangerous.

Instead of that, Chu Yang felt like it would be better to find somewhere to hide and see how the battle progressed.

If there was no sign of the battle ending any time soon, he would have to find a way around them, as the safe passage wouldn’t be safe indefinitely, something he had started to realize, as it became increasingly dangerous the longer, he spent inside the mountain range.

In the end, he decided to settle down a short distance away from the battle where he could avoid being detected by the demon beasts continuously rushing over to join the battle, while at the same time keeping an eye on the battle and seeing how it progressed.

“Everyone! We have to head back into the ruins, or we will be overrun by these demon beasts! Follow me!”

Just as he was settled in and began observing the battle wanting to try and see what he could learn from observing the Soul Ascension Realm cultivator clashing with the Soul Ascension Realm demon beast, Chu Yang was shocked to suddenly hear one of the Domain Lord Realm humans yelling out before all of them began escaping.

This wasn’t really a problem as it would clear up the path for him, the main problem was that the direction they were escaping in happened to the small hiding spot where he was hiding at the moment… And considering the fact that this group of people didn’t seem to be the friendliest from his short experience with them inside the Mountain Demon City, Chu Yang didn’t think that the Soul Ascension Realm cultivator would spare a random Domain Lord Realm cultivator who popped out of nowhere.

Whoosh-!

So, with that in mind, Chu Yang wasted no time before turning around and escaping into the small cave that was his temporary hiding spot. Not daring to continue waiting around to see if the group of human cultivators were heading towards the cave he was inside, as he continued deeper inside without a second thought.

“Over here!”

Only when hearing the sound of yelling coming from behind him as he continued moving deeper inside, did Chu Yang realize that the cave he had just entered was likely related to the ruins that this group of people had gone to the Mountain Range to search for.

However, there was nothing he could do about the potential danger of the place, as he continued moving further inside the cave without a second thought before suddenly finding himself in a massive open space located below the mountain range itself.
