Within that flow of radiance, there was a sword light flying at the rear.

Inside the sword light, it was none other than Zhao Letian.

Ahead of him, that flow of light was a large squad of the Lion Mercenary Group.

Not long ago, under the guidance of Lu Yuan, he successfully found this mercenary squad and paid a full one hundred High Grade Essence Stones in order for them to take on the task of escorting him into Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

However, this mercenary squad could not guarantee to deliver him directly to the location of that barren mountain.

"Kid, I didn't expect you to have low cultivation, but your flight speed is quite fast. You can actually keep up with us Sect Martial Realm experts."

Next to Zhao Letian, a man at the first level of Sect Martial Realm suddenly looked over, speaking quite surprised.

"Senior jokes. You are not flying at full speed, while I have already used my fastest speed. How can I be mentioned in the same breath as you?"

Zhao Letian shook his head with a smile, speaking unconcernedly.

Though he could easily kill this Sect Martial Realm expert beside him with his true strength, he didn't want to attract attention and naturally chose to keep a low profile.

"Hmph, as long as you know, kid. Don't think that just because you fly fast, you can freely move in and out of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain. The dangers in the mountain are far beyond your imagination. When we enter the mountain later, you'd better stick closely by my side, otherwise I can't guarantee your safety."

The man at the first level of Sect Martial Realm snorted coldly, speaking with an unpleased tone, seemingly in a bad mood.

Today, he was assigned to be responsible for Zhao Letian's safety.

However, even he needed to stay cautious and vigilant in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, basically having no spare effort to guarantee Zhao Letian's safety.

Thus, being assigned this task naturally did not improve his mood.

...

Time flew swiftly, and, half an hour later, Zhao Letian finally followed this mercenary squad to the airspace above Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

Looking around, it indeed was an immensely large mountain range, within which were extremely dense forests.

"All down!"

Ahead of everyone, a middle-aged man in a black robe suddenly shouted sternly, plunging directly into the dense woods.

This person was the captain of this mercenary squad, a powerful existence at half-step King-level.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."

Hearing this, everyone immediately descended into the dense forest.

"You too, go down. Remember, in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, aerial flight is absolutely forbidden because the sky is even more dangerous than the ground. Without any cover, you would become a delightful meal for those avian demon beasts."

The Sect Martial Realm martial artist beside Zhao Letian looked towards him, speaking in a solemn voice, and plunged directly downward.

Zhao Letian gave a faint smile and then also dived into the dense forest following the others.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."

Inside the dense forest, the members of the mercenary squad, without any unnecessary words, followed the lead of that half-step King-level expert, quickly navigating through the woods heading directly to the mission's destination.

The members of the Lion Mercenary Group always had very clear tasks each time they entered Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

In order to complete the task as quickly as possible and leave this dangerous mountain range earlier, the mercenaries had already achieved seamless cooperation and high tacit understanding; they would not waste time on meaningless things and would not spend any energy on anything other than their task.

"Such fast speed."

In the dense forest, the mercenaries moved even faster than in the air, causing Zhao Letian's gaze to sharpen as he immediately executed the Body Technique Martial Technique, Carefree Travel.

His Body Technique Carefree Travel was a technique whose level could hardly be determined.

Up until now, Zhao Letian had seen only a small portion of this technique.

Moreover, even this small portion was something he could not fully comprehend; he could only manage to cultivate it to a minor success level.

However, even so, after using this Body Technique Martial Technique, his speed could easily catch up to someone from the Sect Martial Realm, which made it effortless for him to keep up with this large group of mercenaries.

"Hey? Kid, I didn't expect your speed to be even faster than I anticipated. Now we are about to move at our fastest speed, and you can still keep up. Could it be that you are naturally gifted with a special physique?"

The person from Sect Martial Realm responsible for protecting Zhao Letian was surprised to see Zhao Letian not falling behind even by half a step.

He initially thought that after speeding up, he would have to rush Zhao Letian along too, but unexpectedly, Zhao Letian's speed was not a bit slower than his.

"Senior indeed has good eyesight, my physique is indeed somewhat special, naturally gifted with swift speed."

Zhao Letian responded with an indifferent smile, casually brushing it off.

"Exactly, but you better keep up closely with us, otherwise if you fall behind, I won't be responsible."

The person from Sect Martial Realm didn't think much and solemnly warned.

In this world, there were all kinds of martial artists, with countless bizarre and strange occurrences, and this person had long been accustomed to them.

"Senior, rest assured, just focus on hurrying along."

Zhao Letian spoke unconcernedly.

"Roar! Roar!..."

As the group went deeper into Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, Zhao Letian noticed that the demon beasts in the forest were becoming more numerous, and the strength of the demon beasts appearing around them was also getting stronger.

Initially, when they just entered Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, there were quite a few demon beasts around, but their cultivation levels were very low, mostly just Primordial Martial Realm demon beasts.

Now, however, the demon beasts around them had already become strong Sect Martial Realm demon beasts.

Some of these demon beasts, considering themselves strong, even dared to lurk around the mercenary group.

However, those Sect Martial Realm demon beasts that dared to approach were without exception all slain by the mercenaries.

"Roar!"

After traveling several hundred more miles, a sudden earth-shattering roar came from ahead. The terrifying sound wave and air wave swept through the forest like a tsunami, causing the thick trees to tremble violently, swaying east and west.

"We've found it, the first target, a half-step King-level demon beast, Wind Roar Beast. Everyone, quickly prepare the Combined Attack Technique, that beast is about to come over!"

The half-step King-level expert at the very front suddenly stopped, staring ahead into the dense forest, and spoke in a grave voice.

"Kid, you better leave now, we can only see you off to this point. The strength of this beast is too formidable, even the residual effects of the battle could easily kill you. If you don't leave now, it'll be too late."

The Sect Martial Realm individual responsible for protecting Zhao Letian spoke with a serious tone.

"Wind Roar Beast? Half-step King-level?"

Zhao Letian was slightly taken aback and immediately activated the Qingxiao Dharma Eye, focusing intensely with a flickering blue gleam in his eyes.

He saw, in the distant dense forest, lying a huge demon beast concealed within a whirlwind, emitting an overwhelming aura, charging straight towards them.
