1715 The Royal Soul Fruit Matured (1/2)
The monarch soul fruit grew on a sandy cliff surrounded by three high mountains of golden sands.
Each of the mountains was thousands of meters high. From behind one of the mountains, a woman in red was watching Qingfeng Li and the others. Her eyes were icy-cold and devoid of any emotions, looking at them as if they were just a pile of bodies.
Behind the second mountain was concealed a skinny old man. With sparse hair and dried-up skin, he emitted a world-shaking presence and no animals dared to go near him.
Behind the third sandy mountain hid a demon beast which had a single horn on its head. It was covered all over by black scales, with some silver scales mingled in, signifying that it was evolving toward a dragon.
Unfortunately, all the self-cultivators were watching the four crown princes lay siege to Qingfeng Li and was oblivious to the spectators lurking behind the three mountains.
With much more powerful soul power than every other self-cultivator present, Qingfeng Li had faintly sensed there were eyes watching him.
He was sure the watching eyes he sensed came from other sources instead of the four crown princes.
He turned his head toward the area around the monarch soul fruit and saw the three golden sandy mountains around the fruit.
The hard and sharp sandy rocks emitted radiant light, blinding anyone watching it.
Qingfeng Li thought the danger he just sensed came from the three sandy mountains and he prepared to concentrate his energy to get a clearer feeling of them.
But the crown princes and their guards from Lingyun, Fiery-Sun, Golden-Arrow and Clear-Wood all gathered around Qingfeng Li, planning to launch attacks against him.
Behind Qingfeng Li, the Second Prince, Mengyao Xu, Li Yang, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and a dozen of black-clothed retainers walked to guard Qingfeng's flanks. A battle would begin any second.
The air was permeated with intense killing intent signaling an imminent great battle. At this moment, a self-cultivator yelled, ”Look! The monarch soul fruit is about to mature.”
As one, all the people turned their eyes toward the monarch soul fruit on the sandy cliff and saw a shiny golden fruit on the small golden tree.
The fruit emitted radiant golden light and an enticing aroma was released from it. They could smell it even from hundreds of meters away.
The intense aroma of the monarch soul fruit contained huge amounts of soul energy. With a sniff of it, the self-cultivators felt the cleansing of their pores, skins, and brains.
Some self-cultivators even felt their soul powers had gained an obvious growth.
Deserting Qingfeng Li, all the crown princes, princes, and princesses rushed toward the monarch soul fruit.
They wanted to kill Qingfeng Li, but they wanted to get the monarch soul fruit more. Now that the fruit had matured, no one could resist its temptation.
Even the prince of Soil-Border clawed out of the sands. After closing his wounds with vital essence, he dashed toward the monarch soul fruit on the cliff.
