Evil Emperor's Wild Consort Chapter 1000 Gu Ruoyun? Imposter! 8

If my guess is correct, that spiritual beast further ahead of us is the ruling beast who guards the exit of Nemesis Forest!

Of course, what Gu Ruoyun did not know was that she had been able to pick up on the sound because she was the Ancient Divine Pagoda’s Master! Hence, her hearing abilities surpassed that of an average person. Similarly speaking, the World Destruction Mercenaries had not heard the ruling beast’s growl at all.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Uncle Ying’s face. He had assumed Gu Ruoyun had hatched some sort of wicked plan and had somehow caused the spiritual beasts’ appearance all for the sake of attacking them. However, he never expected it to turn out that the spiritual beasts had not appeared because of them!

However, that does not mean that he believes Gu Ruoyun had appeared with no ulterior motives!

“If my guess is right, the place that we’re headed to is over there.”

Ye Ying was clearly thinking this over even more.

Upon hearing Gu Ruoyun’s explanation, he had fallen silent and took a while before returning to his senses. He then said with a serious look on his face, “Still, we don’t know what has happened over there which had caused those spiritual beasts to surge over!”

Gu Ruoyun mulled it over for a moment before she slowly replied, “You’ve mentioned before that you a road that leads out of the Nemesis Forest but a mid-level Martial Supreme spiritual beast guards the way so you had been unable to use that route! However, I now think that the spiritual beast isn’t a mid-level Martial Supreme but a high-level Martial Supreme instead!”

Hiss!

Hearing this, the crowd could not help but gasp.

Amongst all of them, only their Leader was the most powerful and has now only reached the rank of a low-level Martial Supreme! However, with the concepts of both mid-level and low-level Martial Supremes, even with the addition of the other mercenaries, they could not possibly overcome a mid-level Martial Supreme!

However, they never expected the mid-level Martial Supreme spiritual beast to actually turn out to be a high-level Martial Supreme!

In that sense, defeating that spiritual beast would be even more difficult now!

Ye Ying’s expression was an extremely ugly sight to behold. He turned towards Gu Ruoyun and asked, “You’re certain that the spiritual beast is already at the rank of high-level Martial Supreme?”

“I’m not too sure.”

Gu Ruoyun shook her head as she calmly replied.

When he heard this, Ye Ying had initially heaved a sigh of relief. However, the next part of Gu Ruoyun’s statement drained his handsome face of color and he now looked as pale as a ghost.

“For hundreds of spiritual beasts to make such a pilgrimage, only a Holy Beast’s breakthrough would cause a situation like this! Therefore, I myself am not too certain at the moment whether it is a high-level Martial Supreme or it has broken through to the state of a Holy Beast!”

“A Holy Beast? How can this be?”

Uncle Ying did not wait for Ye Ying to respond and hurriedly barged into the conversation. Obviously, he does not have a very pretty look on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, “It has broken through to become a Holy Beast? How could we possibly have come face to face with such a thing? I don’t believe it! Quit deluding the crowd with your lies! This spiritual beast is the beast king of Nemesis Forest. Summoning the other spiritual beasts is to be expected. That does not mean that it has broken through to the state of a Holy Beast!”

Gu Ruoyun smiled faintly and said nothing else.

She then turned her gaze to look at a spot in the sky not too far away from them as the corners of her lips curled into an angle.

“Regardless of the state of its breakthrough, I still need to go there and rush ahead! Besides, a newly minted Holy Beast’s aura is unstable at the initial state and that is also an opportunity for us!” Gu Ruoyun’s eyes held a clear and cold light as she spoke with a calm air.

The reason why Gu Ruoyun was so confident was entirely due to the fact that she holds a trump card in her hand — the Vermillion Bird!

Under normal circumstances, she would have exposed the Vermillion Bird’s presence so willingly but at this point in time, if they had no other choice, she will have to send the Vermillion Bird into the attack.
