Forsaken Immortals Chapter 314: Hiding Identities

Chapter 314: Hiding Ident.i.ties

Bai Rouyun was equally curious. The sounds of battle were loud, and it was not likely to be against beasts that lived here naturally from the current situation.

Since their battle was so out of place, naturally, others would be more curious about the origin.

The fluctuations of the heaven and earth essence in the air were strong, but it was not at a point where their group found it overwhelming, so Bai Rouyun was able to satisfy her curiosity and approach. If the ones fighting were much stronger than her, she would naturally run away and not get involved.

As they approached the area where the battle was ongoing, they felt that the fluctuations in the air were getting more and more intense, and from the various ripples, it could be guessed that there were at least ten people involved in the battle.

"Although this is the Wushi Continent and the experts are supposed to be superior to those of my old plane, I have to admit that I don't see much of a difference."

Bai Rouyun could not help but comment as she shook her head. Although she was new to this continent, she had been told many things by Yun Mingshen.

This place was like any other where the families would fight both among themselves and against others. Everyone was fighting for power and fame, so the only difference was that the things involved in these fights were more dangerous, and the strength used was more overwhelming.

"They all said that the Wushi Continent was meant to be much more powerful and that the strong are everywhere here, but honestly, when I look at the ripples in the air, it does not seem to be that much stronger than us." Xiao Mao's brows furrowed as he looked towards the origin of the energy.

"Don't say that." Bai Rouyun chuckled as she also gazed at the battlefield in front.

"If you compare our abilities to the others back on the old continent, you will see that we are actually the odd ones out.

"At the same time, we have the a.s.sistance of the Primal Chaos Dimension. While it cannot make our cultivation base soar to the heavens, it can still a.s.sist us and make our path smoother.

"All these benefits have only managed to make us equal to the talented younger generation here at the Wushi Continent, but we are still not even close to being considered an outstanding genius.

"That being said, we could be equal to them even if we came from the continent below, so, naturally, we will be able to catch up to the true geniuses of the Wushi Continent and even overtake them."

Most of the information that Bai Rouyun had about the Wushi Continent was given to her by Yun Mingshen, but she also understood many things from the descriptions she had been given.

Even if they were not currently outstanding, it was only a matter of time before they would be able to overtake the talented cultivators and become geniuses themselves.

However, they had to stay grounded. No matter how talented and brilliant they were, they had to stay alive to let their talent blossom and become a genius, so they should never look down on anyone as it was hard to say if they would manage to survive.

Xiao Mao nodded his head, and his eyes turned more solemn. He had to admit that he was almost getting ahead of himself.

He was usually the most steady and prudent of the whole group, but this constant vigilance had made him feel that the experts at the Wushi Continent were overwhelmingly strong, and that their group would become the underdogs. So when he witnessed the weaker ripples of energy, he was surprised and suddenly gave birth to a sense of superiority within him.

Fortunately, Bai Rouyun had managed to drag his reasoning back as soon as it had vanished, and he felt a chill run down his spine. He could not afford to be arrogant, as he knew that arrogance would often lead to failure and death.

"Thank you." The sincere grat.i.tude within Xiao Mao's voice was clear, and Bai Rouyun's eyes flashed in approval.

"You are doing well."

She knew very well that he was not usually this easily tempted, and she was happy that a mere explanation was enough to make him regain his senses.

Xiao Hua seemed to sense Xiao Mao's self-blame, and one of the vines began to pat the Cloud Leopard's head gently.

Looking at the previously domineering Golden Emperor Vine that now tried to console its friend was somewhat amusing, but Bai Rouyun only chuckled lightly before refocusing on the battle.

"They should have noticed our approach." Xiao Bao's voice was soft and childish, but there was a coldness within that made him appear contradictory.

He seemed to notice that their presence also caused the battle in front to become increasingly intense, as if they wished to end their skirmish as soon as possible, so that they would be ready to face this group that had just arrived.

"It is quite a group." As the experts came into view, Bai Rouyun could not help but comment on the sheer number of people that were partic.i.p.ating.

She had, at first, a.s.sumed that there would be around five experts involved in the battle, but looking at the current situation, it seemed that she was mistaken.

"I guess that the reason for the energy ripples to be fairly weak was due to these experts running out of energy." Xiao Mao could not help but comment, as he also looked at the scene in front of him with some conflicted emotions.

The ground was littered with black-clothed corpses. All of them had their faces masked, and their clothes had no embroideries or moires that could make it possible to recognize their origin. They also did not seem to carry any sort of storage treasures. It seemed as if they had gone to extreme lengths to avoid being recognized or leaving anything behind.
