Chapter 65 Someone is breaking through
Watching the little beast leave, Tao Tao felt a pang of sadness. When would she be able to go home? Or rather, would she even have a home to return to...?
"Tao Tao, are you alright?"
Seeing that the level 10 demon beast had left, Song Chaofeng rushed out impatiently and asked about Tao Tao's situation with concern. He was really scared to death just now, afraid that the demon beast would discover him. But the beast didn't even glance in their direction before leaving, so it seemed that it hadn't noticed him.
"I'm fine." Tao Tao shook her head; apart from being a little down, she was indeed not injured.
Bai Yan also walked over, glanced at the Ice Thunder Sword and Thunder Pearl in Tao Tao's hand, and said indifferently, "These two magic treasures are a good match for you. Keep them safe."
"Hmm, but Ah Yan, do you know where Lei Ze is?"
"I don't know." Bai Yan shook his head. How could he possibly know so much about the affairs of the human realm?
"Alright, we'll see each other again eventually, Senior Brother, Ayan, let's go back."
Now that they had sent the little beast away and had nothing else to do for the time being, Tao Tao and his group returned to the inn. As soon as they got back, Tao Tao lay down on the bed, intending to fall into a deep sleep, but the power within his body began to stir restlessly again. This was the prelude to a breakthrough.
No, she only managed to get one Heavenly Origin Pill, which is definitely far from enough!
In a moment of panic, she rushed to Bai Yan's room without even knocking, bursting in only to find that no one was there.
"Ayan?" she called out, but there was no response.
Logically speaking, Bai Yan shouldn't be running around recklessly, since he's unfamiliar with the human realm, although he shouldn't encounter any danger given his strength.
But he's not here, what am I going to do? I'm about to break through.
Suddenly, the power within her body surged once more. Unable to bear it any longer, she collapsed onto the bed, her whole body convulsing. Stinging pains shot through her internal organs, and every meridian felt a mixture of hot and cold. Her body felt as if it were being torn apart, and the pain was unbearable.
"Uh..." Tao Tao was drenched in cold sweat and couldn't move at all. The air around him fluctuated, and gradually thunder and lightning appeared. There was a feeling of impending storm over the entire inn.
"what's the situation?"
Just as Song Chaofeng was about to meditate, he sensed something was wrong and rushed out of the room. He discovered that the strange power was coming from Bai Yan's room and dared not go any further.
The commotion was so great that many people had gathered around, craning their necks to guess what had happened.
"Is someone about to break through?"
"But this commotion is a bit too loud. Could it be a Foundation Establishment stage senior?"
"Who would break through here? Aren't you afraid someone might take advantage of the situation?"
"What if I didn't expect to break through at this time?"
"What a joke! You don't even know when you broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, yet you think the other person is a Foundation Establishment stage senior?"
Everyone was talking at once, chattering and making a ruckus, but no one dared to take a step forward. After all, the commotion was too great, and the strength of the other party was hard to estimate. What if it was a senior? Even if they couldn't care about anything else while breaking through, they would still be more than capable of dealing with these junior cultivators.
"Breakthrough?" Hearing these people's comments, Song Chaofeng's first thought was Tao Tao. But the question was, how did Tao Tao end up in this room? Could it be that a senior was helping her break through? If so, why didn't they conceal their aura and instead make such a big fuss?
Never mind, let's go in and take a look.
Even though Song Chaofeng was afraid of Bai Yan, he had no other choice but to squeeze through the crowd when it came to Tao Tao.
Seeing Song Chaofeng rushing towards Bai Yan's room, the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
"What is he doing? Is he trying to take advantage of someone in distress?"
"Is there some benefit to it? Otherwise, why would he work so hard? Let's go and see."
Now that's good. When the others saw that someone had gone, their worries lessened a bit. They just wanted to go and find out what was going on. Anyway, there were people blocking the way, so even if something really happened, it was unlikely that it would be their turn.
Just as Song Chaofeng was about to push open the door and enter, he noticed a group of people following him, so he turned around and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Whatever you do, we'll do."
What low-level cultivators desire most is opportunity. Some people are stuck in the Qi Refining stage until they die, unable to break through, while others have a much greater chance of breaking through because of an opportunity.
Since they have become cultivators, they will definitely use any means necessary to break through, and of course they don't care about what it means to harm others without benefiting themselves.
"Do you know what I want to do?" Song Chaofeng was speechless. He just wanted to check if Tao Tao was alright. Did they really mean it?
It's impossible. They're probably just after Tao Tao's upcoming breakthrough and want to take advantage of the opportunity to steal the treasure she has.
"Young man, everyone gets a share, you can't keep it all to yourself, otherwise with so many of us, you might not get anything good."
These people are incredibly greedy, and the worst part is that they're so blatant about it.
Song Chaofeng was speechless. He wondered if he should think of a way to get rid of them, otherwise their sudden rush in would definitely affect Tao Tao.
Just as I thought of this, the room instantly returned to calm, and even the strange phenomenon above the inn disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
"What happened?" someone asked, puzzled. Logically speaking, a breakthrough shouldn't happen this quickly. Could it be that they failed?
"Let's go in and take a look!"
Someone in the crowd shouted encouragement, and some people actually pushed forward, wanting to see what was going on. This made Song Chaofeng anxious. He touched the storage bracelet, took the jade ruyi in his hand, and coldly glanced at the people around him. Just as he was about to make a move, the door suddenly opened.
Bai Yan stood lazily at the door, his whole body icy cold. Although he didn't release any pressure, he inexplicably made people want to back away.
"What's all this commotion?" He moved his lips slightly, asking coldly, as if a chilling wind was blowing, even Song Chaofeng was startled.
"Ahem, we just want to see what's going on inside. Is someone breaking through?"
I don't know who has the audacity to speak so confidently.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yan's cold eyes swept across the crowd, piercing through everyone. He locked onto the person behind the crowd, who immediately felt unable to move. His blood began to reverse, and his meridians burst. He coughed up a mouthful of blood and crashed to the ground with a bang.
Everyone was terrified. It was just a glance; nothing was done, yet the cultivator hiding in the crowd died a violent death.
It's terrifying, absolutely terrifying. Underestimating the opponent's strength is tantamount to certain death.
The remaining people dared not act rashly and hurriedly turned and ran away, not daring to linger for a moment. In the blink of an eye, there was no one left in the corridor.
Not to mention Song Chaofeng was also quite frightened. He knew that Bai Yan was very powerful, but he did not expect him to be this strong. He did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse.
"Senior, how is Tao Tao doing?"
"She's inside. Go see for yourself."
Bai Yan left those words behind and abruptly turned and went into the room. Song Chaofeng didn't dare to say anything and quickly followed him.
