Chapter 710: Nascent Soul Stage Demonic Beast (Part 7)

What made him the most formidable was his ability to challenge those people who were stronger than himself, whether it was a small level or a large one.

His most impressive feat was defeating a mid-stage Nascent Soul demonic beast with his late-stage leader-level strength deep in the devil battlefield, achieving a decisive victory.

Every elder devils used him as a role model when teaching their juniors, which led many young devils to see him as their goal.

Nith, as a genius, understood better than anyone the feeling of necessity to surpass such challenges.

If he couldn’t muster the courage to cross this gap, how could he ever hope to catch up with that person?

"But this is a late-stage Nascent Soul demonic beast, not a mid-stage one," said one of the devils, Nith’s cousin, who didn’t want to see him throw his life away.

"He was challenging a mid-stage Nascent Soul demonic beast at the late-stage stage Leader-level. I’m at the peak of the leader-level now," Nith said calmly.

After his cousin saw his determination, he realized that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, he wouldn’t change his mind.

"But our enemies aren’t just this Nascent Soul stage demonic beast; there are also those human cultivators. Even if you defeat the demonic beast, you’ll be severely injured. How will you handle these cunning and treacherous human cultivators?" a devil raised the critical issue.

Challenging a late-stage Nascent Soul demonic beast without injury was impossible.

Even if Nith won in the end, it would likely be a pyrrhic victory.

"Yes, those humans are so devious. They’ll definitely strike us from behind," the other devils also agreed, expressing their concerns.

They would prefer that Nith didn’t take this risk.

Nith hesitated for a moment.

At that instant, an unknown attack suddenly struck the Nascent Soul stage demonic beast.

Enraged, the demonic beast unleashed chaos, and there was no time for any more planning.

It first targeted the human cultivators from a distance, then charged at the weaker devils.

The devils were immediately thrown into disarray, bleeding from their orifices and retreating in fear.

The Nascent Soul stage demonic beast went on another rampage, this time attacking them head-on.

Some of them who had been hoping for a lucky break immediately started to retreat.

The disciples from the Green Lotus Sect who had heeded Renshu Chang’s advice and stayed put now looked relieved and admiringly at Renshu Chang.

"Senior Brother Chang, you’re amazing. If you hadn’t told us to hold back, we might be in the same situation as the Eternal One Sect now," one disciple said.

The power of the Nascent Soul stage demonic beast was palpable even from a distance, and facing it directly, even if they didn’t face total annihilation, few would survive.

"Senior Brother Chang, did you know in advance that there was a Nascent Soul stage demonic beast here, which is why you told us to hold our positions?" Vincent Tan asked jokingly.

Though he had guessed correctly, Renshu Chang did not admit it.

His expression remained serious, "Let’s avoid getting involved in this mess for now to prevent being caught up in it. We should leave and observe from a safer distance."

"What about the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower?" Ding Huiqing asked urgently.

Renshu Chang glanced at him, surprised at how much he cared about the flower.

It was clear that Ding Huiqing was interested for a specific reason, "Taking the flower from a Nascent Soul stage demonic beast is a matter of life and death. Our duty in the secret realm is to train and find more resources. Losing our lives for a single flower isn’t worth it."

Ding Huiqing looked conflicted, "Are we just giving up?"

"It’s not giving up; it’s a strategic retreat. What I said to the disciples of the Divine Maiden Sect was just to mislead them," Renshu Chang said, now unafraid of being exposed.

Some of the disciples who caught the underlying meaning of Renshu Chang’s words exchanged glances but kept silent.

However, a couple of them still seemed confused, clearly not grasping the deeper implications.

The Green Lotus Sect withdrew decisively.

Although they were very careful, their movement was still noticed by others.

"Junior Sister Ren, the Green Lotus Sect has retreated," Chanchala Jin said, after having been watching their movement.

So, as soon as they left, she noticed it immediately, "Do you think the Green Lotus Sect knew about the Nascent Soul stage demonic beast beforehand?"

When the Nascent Soul stage demonic beast first appeared, Chanchala Jin had been startled and drenched in a cold sweat.

No one had expected a Nascent Soul stage demonic beast to suddenly emerge from the cliff.

Fortunately, they had canceled their alliance with the Green Lotus Sect, and given their disadvantage, they decided to remain on standby just like the Green Lotus Sect.

Chanchala Jin looked at Ruma Yang, who was looking somewhat disheveled after the Nascent Soul stage demonic beast’s roar, and felt relieved.

If she had rushed out like him, they would now be facing the threat.

"It’s hard to say. If the Green Lotus Sect had known beforehand, they wouldn’t have allied with us in the first place," Kailash Ren analyzed calmly.

"It’s also possible they found out midway. They left once and their attitude changed when they came back," Chanchala Jin said.

Kailash Ren stated, "They hadn’t shown any clear attitude before. Arguing about this now is pointless. With the Nascent Soul stage demonic beast guarding the Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower, even if the Green Lotus Sect had known earlier, what advantage would they have gained? Whoever attempts to take the flower will incur the demonic beast’s wrath. Let’s leave; it looks like we won’t be getting the flower."

Chanchala Jin sighed in regret, "What a pity. It’s rare to encounter an Eight Stars Of Heavenly Jade Flower. It’s a great item for extending life."

"Good things are only good if you have a life to use them," Kailash Ren said, and then left first.
