Seeing the numerous pits left on the large open ground before her, while Yang Che was unhurriedly digging up Spirit Medicine and Spiritual Plant, Sha Rou naturally grew more indignant.

She was about to say something, but then, as if realizing something else, a rather strange expression appeared on her face, and she quickly began to pick Spirit Medicine as well.

Yang Che glanced at Sha Rou, and seeing that she didn't get angry with him, he was slightly surprised.

Neither of them spoke, both busy with their own tasks.

Sha Rou specifically picked mature Spirit Medicine, and in her haste, many young Spirit Medicine seedlings were destroyed.

Yang Che felt a pang of heartache, but his expression remained calm; he activated 'Plunder' mode and sped up, digging up all Spirit Medicine and Spiritual Plant without exception.

Right now, it was a great opportunity to increase the variety of Spirit Medicine in the Tongyou Medicine Garden.

After about the time it takes to eat a meal, a commotion suddenly came from the entrance.

Yang Che looked back and saw many Cultivators entering the area.

Evidently, after Sha Rou killed the giant strange bird, nearby Cultivators discovered that the threat at the entrance was gone, and naturally, they all surged in.

“Fellow Daoist Sha, it’s better to avoid trouble; let’s hide for now,” Yang Che whispered to Sha Rou.

Sha Rou also noticed many Cultivators surging in, but after sweeping with her Divine Sense, she showed an arrogant expression and snorted lightly, “Hide? I entered this place by my own ability and picked Spirit Medicine by my own ability, why should I hide?”

After speaking, she continued to pick nonchalantly, not putting the surging Cultivators in her eyes at all.

Yang Che, however, had a grave expression and a different idea.

He hadn't forgotten the malicious noblewoman materialized by the strange black smoke when he opened the Storage Pouch of the beautiful woman from Wanxing City.

This middle-aged woman seemed to have discovered his Mutated Dual Immortal Roots Aptitude.

And it was clear that both the mother and daughter were members of the Wan Family.

Therefore, Yang Che had long decided never to get involved with crowds, always maintaining a low profile and caution.

Although Yang Che was certain that because the Storage Pouch was opened in the Void Illusion Magic Stone Space at the time, the middle-aged woman definitely didn't know where he was or who he was.

Even if this middle-aged woman could guess that he had obtained a 'stone fragment' and might come here.

But as long as he maintained his disguise and Stealth Technique and didn't get into disputes with other Cultivators, this middle-aged woman would not be able to recognize him.

Seeing Sha Rou completely fearless, Yang Che's eyes darted around; he quickly surveyed his surroundings and flashed into a crevice between a giant rock and a stone wall.

Soon, this group of Cultivators had already walked over.

There were seven in total, five males and two females, all Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

The leader was a middle-aged scholar-like Cultivator at the Golden Core Stage Great Perfection.

He saw Sha Rou and was first stunned, somewhat captivated by her figure.

However, when he saw that Sha Rou ignored their arrival and continued to pick Spirit Medicine, he felt a bit embarrassed.

He stepped forward and said coldly, “Fellow Daoist, this place belongs to my Wan Family; stop picking immediately and hand over all the Spirit Medicine you have already picked, and my Wan Family can let you leave.”

Yang Che, hidden in the shadows, felt his heart sink slightly upon hearing this: “Wan Family Cultivators?”

He leaned out slightly, and through the crevice, he saw Sha Rou's lips seemingly curl slightly, as if she had no intention of paying attention to these people, and continued to pick Spirit Medicine on her own.

The middle-aged scholar's originally refined handsome face immediately darkened; with a flick of his finger, a fan-like Magic Treasure appeared in his hand.

And he directly fanned it fiercely towards Sha Rou.

A crescent-shaped white light instantly slashed towards Sha Rou.

It was then that Sha Rou turned around, exuding an incredibly cold killing intent and Evil Qi, and immediately summoned her Yellow Moon Blade.

Blade light permeated, forming a crescent-shaped earthy yellow light shield protecting Sha Rou within it.

The white light struck the earthy yellow blade light with a 'clang', trembled a few times, and then rapidly disappeared.

With just one strike, the middle-aged scholar and the other six all showed grave expressions, each quickly taking out their Magic Treasure, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Sha Rou snorted coldly, without a single wasted word; the Yellow Moon Blade flew out in an instant, transforming into a yellow stream of light, directly slashing at the middle-aged scholar.

At the same time, Sha Rou's figure flickered, and as she rapidly flew forward, an Advanced Talisman appeared in her hand.

As she activated the Talisman, a strange sound wave suddenly appeared, directly causing all the Cultivators present to feel a moment of disorientation.

Even Yang Che felt a slight dizziness in his head.

With a 'puchi' sound, like chopping melons and vegetables, the Yellow Moon Blade directly cut through the middle-aged scholar's fan-shaped Magic Treasure, severing half of his head.

At the same time, Sha Rou pulled back the Yellow Moon Blade, swung it, and blade light burst forth, directly slashing at the two closest female Cultivators.

“You seek death! How dare you kill my Wan Family members!”

The other four male Cultivators finally fully recovered from the previous sound wave attack.

They simultaneously summoned their Magic Treasures, attacking Sha Rou head-on.

Sha Rou sneered again, surprisingly not dodging or evading these Magic Treasure attacks, and directly severed the head of one of the female Cultivators.

A trace of blood splattered on Sha Rou's face; she actually stuck out her tongue and licked it, then smiled eerily, and her figure suddenly disappeared.

The Magic Treasure attacks of the four male Cultivators all missed.

At this moment, the remaining five Wan Family Cultivators realized Sha Rou's terrifying power.

A scream of 'Ah' rang out.

Another male Cultivator at the Early Golden Core Stage was directly pierced through the chest by the Yellow Moon Blade.

Just then, the remaining female Cultivator showed fear on her face and suddenly flew towards the entrance with a Escape Light .

As this female Cultivator fled, another male Cultivator also closely followed, fleeing.

Sha Rou was entangled by the other two male Cultivators.

At this point, she suddenly said urgently towards Yang Che's hiding place, “Yang Daoyou, what are you still waiting for? Not a single one can be let go…”

Before she even finished speaking, Yang Che sighed helplessly in his heart and immediately used Instant Movement.

With a 'pupu' sound.

He first pierced the brows of the female Cultivator who was almost at the entrance.

Then, he instantly moved again, directly severing the head of the terrified male Cultivator at the Middle Stage of Core Formation with a single slash.

Afterward, Yang Che incinerated the bodies of these two people, glanced outside the entrance, swept with his Divine Sense, and then suddenly chased after them.

Soon, two screams echoed near the entrance…

When Sha Rou also quickly walked out, neither of them spoke, but they understood each other's intentions, and their figures immediately flickered, disappearing from their original spots.

…

Several days later.

Yang Che and Sha Rou finally arrived at the central entrance of the ruins.

Here stood a gigantic gray stone monument several tens of feet high.

The surface of the monument was mottled, as if many stone pieces had fallen off.

Around the stone monument was a Stone Forest.

Inside the Stone Forest, almost every stone pillar had Cultivators seated on it, and many of these Cultivators were wrapped in long robes, with only their eyes exposed.

Yang Che roughly scanned and found fifty or sixty Cultivators.

Without exception, these Cultivators all held one or two stone fragments in their hands, occasionally looking at the stone monument, diligently studying something.

Suddenly, Yang Che's pupils slightly contracted.

He actually discovered a few familiar faces among these Cultivators.

Yang Che subtly pulled his hood, also revealing only his eyes, and simultaneously cast the Zero Illusion Art.
