After Changing to the Ruthless Way, the Brothers Cried and Begged for Forgiveness-Chapter 445: Could It Be One of Your Old Lovers?

Ever since Feng Jiu Si took over as the Young Master of the Feng Family, he had always strategized meticulously, feeling as if everything was within his grasp. However, this time, he had suffered a severe setback at Yu Zhao’s hands, leaving him with a whirlwind of complicated emotions.
Tu Xiao shot him a sideways glance before suddenly suggesting, “The God-Abandoned Land is far too dangerous. We should leave as soon as possible.”
The protective treasure of the Tu Family could only be used three times.
He had already expended one use when he was in danger before. The second had been to save Feng Jiu Si. Now, only one use remained.
Tu Xiao had no intention of using his last safeguard in the God-Abandoned Land.
Feng Jiu Si, however, was reluctant to leave.
In his heart, leaving felt like an act of cowardice.
But logically, retreating was indeed the most sensible decision.
After a moment of contemplation, he nodded slightly, signifying his agreement with Tu Xiao’s proposal.
Tu Xiao was overjoyed.
“Then rest for another two days. Once you’ve recovered enough, we’ll set off.”
Three days later.
Tu Xiao and Feng Jiu Si left the underground cave, preparing to search for an exit from the God-Abandoned Land.
However, not long after their departure, they spotted a peculiar Exotic Beast—it resembled a fox but had a pair of antlers on its back.
The beast was dashing at an astonishing speed in the opposite direction.
Chasing after it were several cultivators.
As they passed by, Feng Jiu Si suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to watch their retreating figures, his eyes flashing with keen interest.
“There are three kinds of Exotic Beasts in the God-Abandoned Land. One of them, known as the Auspicious Beast, possesses twin horns.”
Tu Xiao was taken aback. “That beast just now… was an Auspicious Beast?”
“Almost certainly.”
Tu Xiao’s expression instantly lit up with excitement. “I’ve heard that Auspicious Beasts dwell in blessed lands and only appear when a great treasure is about to be born.”
“That’s correct. Encountering one is an extraordinary opportunity. It would be a great loss to let it slip away.”
Tu Xiao immediately turned in pursuit. “Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go after it too!”
Without hesitation, the two abandoned their plan to leave and joined the chase.
“Hahahaha! Hei Lao Dao, guess who I ran into in the God-Abandoned Land? You’ll never guess! Hahahahaha!”
A flushed Ancestor Sui Bian clutched a glowing Transmission Talisman, his voice brimming with excitement as he gesticulated wildly.
The voice from the other side of the talisman carried an unmistakable note of suspicion.
“Sui Bian, who did you meet? Could it be one of your old lovers?”
“Get lost! What old lover?! Stop slandering me!”
Ancestor Sui Bian’s hand tightened around the talisman. He even cast a guilty glance toward Yu Zhao, then righteously scolded Hei Lao Dao on the other end.
“Something’s off… Sui Bian, you’re acting suspicious! Who did you run into?!”
Just as Ancestor Sui Bian was about to boast, his eyes suddenly widened. Forgetting about Hei Lao Dao, he quickly turned to Yu Zhao and shouted, “Little Yu Zhao, look over there!”
Seated nearby, Yu Zhao immediately stood up at his call, her gaze locking onto the distant horizon.
A golden cloud was rushing toward them at incredible speed.
As it drew closer, Yu Zhao realized it wasn’t a cloud at all but a group of Exotic Beasts with golden fur and antlers upon their backs.
A spark of realization flashed through her mind.
“Auspicious Beasts!”
She and Ancestor Sui Bian spoke in unison.
Exchanging a glance, they saw the same blazing excitement in each other’s eyes.
When Auspicious Beasts appeared, so too did legendary treasures.
They had encountered a heaven-sent opportunity!
Neither spoke further. They simply waited for the Auspicious Beasts to pass them before immediately following in pursuit.
Ancestor Sui Bian was too absorbed in the chase to bother replying to Hei Lao Dao, whose frantic voice kept echoing from the Transmission Talisman.
“Who is Yu Zhao? Why haven’t I heard of her before?”
“Auspicious Beasts? You encountered Auspicious Beasts in the God-Abandoned Land?!”
“Sui Bian? Old man? Where are you? Say something!”
Annoyed by the incessant noise, Ancestor Sui Bian grabbed the Transmission Talisman and barked, “Hei Lao Dao, I’m busy! I’ll contact you later!”
With that, he severed the connection and stuffed the talisman into his sleeve.
Yu Zhao could already imagine Hei Lao Dao losing his temper on the other end.
But now was hardly the time for old friends to reminisce. Within less than half a stick of incense’s time, several more figures had joined the chase.
Half an hour later.
Yu Zhao started feeling the strain.
Surprisingly, after such a long pursuit, the Auspicious Beasts had not slowed down. If anything, they were moving even faster.
Seeing this, Ancestor Sui Bian immediately used his spiritual energy to support Yu Zhao.
“Thank you, Old Ancestor.”
“No need… Hey, look! More of the Nan Gong Family!”
Following his gaze, Yu Zhao saw a striking red silhouette standing out against the desolate, bleak terrain ahead.
It was the same four people they had encountered earlier in the Death Rift.
At the same time, Ximen Wu Ji and Bei Ming Yan also spotted the approaching crowd.
“So many people? What are they chasing?”
Ximen Wu Ji exclaimed in shock.
A sudden thought dawned upon Bei Ming Yan, and she gasped in delight, “Auspicious Beasts! It must be them!”
They had initially planned to track down the Green Beast, but fortune had smiled upon them—Auspicious Beasts were even rarer!
Nan Gong Jie and Dong Fang Yue exchanged excited glances.
“Doesn’t this mean a legendary treasure is emerging?”
The last time Auspicious Beasts stirred, it was because a Great Ascension Realm cultivator’s Life-Bound Treasure had surfaced within the God-Abandoned Land.
Countless cultivators had fought over it, creating utter chaos.
In the end, a Tribulation-Stage cultivator had seized the artifact and, not long after, ascended to the Great Ascension Realm.
This tale had spurred countless others to venture into the God-Abandoned Land in search of treasure, and it remained a widely discussed legend.
The four of them all shared the same burning thought.
If they could seize a divine treasure, they would no longer need to hunt for Beast Cores. Passing the Great Thousand Alliance selection would be a certainty.
Their eyes gleamed with fervor as they gazed at the Auspicious Beasts, as if staring at the most precious jewel in the world.
Two days later.
The number of cultivators chasing the Auspicious Beasts had grown significantly.
By this point, the creatures had reached the edge of a Land Fragment.
Beyond them lay the infamous Death Rift, feared by all cultivators.
“Why did they stop? Could the treasure be inside the Death Rift?”
“No way! They must be waiting for the Violent Winds to subside.”
“Or perhaps… the treasure is on another Land Fragment?”
“Auspicious Beasts always signal fortune… but they also bring about a storm of bloodshed.”
Murmurs rippled through the crowd as the dozen or so Auspicious Beasts paused at the precipice.
Ancestor Sui Bian glanced around and quietly whispered to Yu Zhao, “With so many people, chaos is inevitable. Stay close to me and don’t wander off.”
“Senior, we meet again.”
