Chapter 445: Could It Be One of Your Old Lovers?
Ever since Feng Jiu Si took over as the Feng Clan’s young heir, he had been used to planning everything out and feeling that all things were in his grasp. This time, he had taken a hard fall because of Yu Zhao, and his feelings were a mess.

Tu Xiao glanced at him from the side and suddenly suggested: “Godsfall Land is too dangerous. We should go back as soon as we can.”

The Tu Clan’s life-saving treasure could only be used three times.

He had used it once in the past when he was in danger. He had used it a second time to save Feng Jiu Si. Now there was only one use left.

Tu Xiao did not want to spend the last chance in Godsfall Land.

Feng Jiu Si actually did not want to leave.

In his heart, leaving like this felt like an act of cowardice.

But if he thought about it calmly, leaving was indeed the wisest choice.

He thought for a moment, then nodded slightly to show his agreement with Tu Xiao’s proposal.

Tu Xiao was overjoyed.

“Then rest for two more days. When you are almost healed, we’ll set out.”

Three days later.

Tu Xiao and Feng Jiu Si left the cave, planning to look for the exit of Godsfall Land.

But not long after they set out, they saw on the road a strange exotic beast that looked like a fox with antlers growing from its back.

It was rushing past them at great speed in the opposite direction.

Several cultivators were chasing after it.

The two sides brushed past each other.

Feng Jiu Si suddenly stopped. He turned around and watched them run off, his eyes shining.

“There are three kinds of exotic beasts in Godsfall Land. One of them is called the Fortune Beast, also known as the Auspicious Omen Beast. It has a pair of horns on its back.”

Tu Xiao was surprised: “The one that just ran past us was a Fortune Beast?”

“Almost for sure.”

Tu Xiao instantly became excited: “I heard Fortune Beasts live in blessed grotto-heavens and only appear when a treasure is about to be born.”

“That’s right. It is rare to meet a Fortune Beast. It would be a pity to miss this chance.”

Tu Xiao turned around: “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s chase it too.”

The two of them gave up their plan to leave on the spot and joined the group that was chasing the Fortune Beast.

…

“Hahaha, Old Black, guess who I ran into in Godsfall Land! You will never guess! Hahahahaha!”

Ancestor Sui Bian, his face ruddy, held a glowing transmission talisman in his hand. As he spoke, he waved his arms in excitement.

The voice from the other side was full of surprise.

“Old Man Sui Bian, who did you meet? Could it be one of your old lovers?”

“Get lost! Where would I get an old lover from? Don’t slander me!”

Ancestor Sui Bian clenched the transmission talisman at once. Feeling guilty, he secretly glanced at Yu Zhao, then scolded Old Black on the other end with great force.

“Something is wrong, Old Man Sui Bian. You are acting strange! Who did you meet?”

Ancestor Sui Bian was just about to boast a bit when his eyes suddenly went wide. He ignored Old Black on the other side and quickly shouted to Yu Zhao.

“Little Yu Zhao, look over there!”

Yu Zhao had been sitting off to the side to rest. When she heard Ancestor Sui Bian’s voice, she stood up at once and looked into the distance.

She saw a mass of yellow cloud moving toward them at an amazing speed.

When it came closer, Yu Zhao saw clearly that it was not a yellow cloud at all, but a group of exotic beasts with yellow fur and something like antlers growing from their backs.

A flash of insight shot through Yu Zhao’s mind.

“Fortune Beasts!”

She and Ancestor Sui Bian said it at the same time.

The two of them looked at each other and saw the same flame of excitement in each other’s eyes.

When Fortune Beasts appear, a strange treasure appears with them.

This was a heaven-sent chance right in front of them.

The two of them quietly waited for the Fortune Beasts to run past them, then quickly followed after them.

Ancestor Sui Bian’s mind was completely caught by the Fortune Beasts now. He naturally had no time to answer Old Black on the other end of the transmission talisman.

Old Black’s anxious voice came out of the talisman again and again.

“Who is this Little Yu Zhao? Why have I never heard of her?”

“Fortune Beasts? You met Fortune Beasts in Godsfall Land?”

“Old Man Sui Bian? Old Man? Where are you? Say something!”

The noise from the talisman was getting on Ancestor Sui Bian’s nerves. He grabbed it and shouted: “Old Black, I have something urgent to do. I can’t talk to you now. I’ll contact you when I have time!”

With that, he cut off the connection and stuffed the transmission talisman into his sleeve.

Yu Zhao could easily imagine how Old Black on the other side would go crazy.

But this was really not the time to chat with an old friend. In less than half the time it took for one stick of incense to burn, several more Daoist figures had appeared behind them.

Another half hour passed.

Yu Zhao started to feel the strain.

The Fortune Beasts did not slow down after running for so long. Instead, they were getting faster and faster.

Seeing this, Ancestor Sui Bian split off a strand of spirit power to support Yu Zhao.

“Thank you, Ancestor.”

“No need… hey, look, it’s the Nan Gong Clan again.”

Yu Zhao turned to look in the direction of his voice.

On the dark, desolate ground ahead, a splash of red stood out clearly.

It was the same group of four they had met not long ago in the Death Rift.

At that moment, Xi Men Wu Ji, Bei Ming Yan, and the others also noticed the huge group in the distance.

“So many people? What are they chasing?”

Xi Men Wu Ji was shocked.

Bei Ming Yan thought of a possibility and was overjoyed: “Fortune Beasts! It must be Fortune Beasts!”

They had planned to look for traces of Azure Beasts first. They had not expected such good luck, to run into the very rare Fortune Beasts instead.

Nan Gong Jie and Dong Fang Yue’s eyes lit up.

“Does that mean some great treasure is about to appear?”

The last time the Fortune Beasts acted up, it was because the life-bound magic treasure of a Mahayana cultivator who had fallen in Godsfall Land was about to come out.

People had fought like crazy to seize that treasure.

In the end, it was taken by a cultivator in the tribulation stage.

It was said that not long after that, this tribulation-stage cultivator successfully broke through and became one of the Mahayana cultivators.

This story had stirred up even more people’s desire to come to Godsfall Land to seek treasures and was still often talked about today.

Thinking of that tale, the four of them had the same thought in their hearts.

If they could somehow get such a treasure, they would not need to search for beast cores here at all. Passing the Daqian Alliance’s selection would be as good as guaranteed.

Their hearts burned hot, and they looked at the Fortune Beasts as if they were looking at rare treasures.

Two days later.

The group chasing the Fortune Beasts had grown larger and larger.

By then, the Fortune Beasts had reached the edge of the continental fragment.

Ahead of them was the Death Rift that made all cultivators tremble.

“Why did the Fortune Beasts stop? Is the treasure this time inside the Death Rift?”

“That can’t be right. They are probably waiting for the Gang Wind to subside.”

“Could the treasure be on another land fragment?”

“Fortune Beasts are a sign of Auspicious Beasts, but every time they appear, a bloody storm follows.”

“…”

A dozen or so Fortune Beasts stopped at the edge of the land fragment.

The cultivators chasing them could only stop at a distance that was neither too far nor too close, whispering among themselves.

Ancestor Sui Bian looked around, then lowered his voice and warned Yu Zhao: “There are many people here, and trouble can start easily. In a moment, stand right next to me and don’t go anywhere.”

“Senior, we meet again.”
