Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1010: Senior Brother Has Many Treasures

Faced with everyone's hostile stares, Ye Yun offered a smile instead.

"Everyone, our shared journey concludes here."

Ye Yun let out a sneer. With those words, he took Gu Anran's hand and ventured deeper into the swirling grey mist.

The members of their squad were a foolish bunch; only their captain possessed a semblance of wit. It was likely that from the outset, he had suspected this senior-junior pair harbored a hidden trump card for venturing so deep into the mist. Consequently, he had kept a closer watch.

When Gu Anran had recently employed the Mirror of Chaos to deflect the shockwave, that captain had clearly recognized it as a treasure of God-level. Greed then sprouted in his heart.

Unable to openly seize it before his squad, he resorted to proposing a 'borrowing' of the artifact. Ye Yun saw through his ploy instantly and made a timely departure with Gu Anran.

To him, these insignificant gnats were not even worth acknowledging. He couldn't be bothered to lift a finger.

Within the treacherous Grey Mist Sea, filled with lethal intent, it was entirely possible these individuals wouldn't survive long even without his intervention.

"Truly, they cannot distinguish good from bad..."

The captain's expression soured as he watched the senior-junior pair vanish into the mist, a frigid glint flashing in his eyes.

"Captain, those two are excessively arrogant. Let them face their own fate." A man commented with a chilling laugh.

"You all remain here. I shall attempt to persuade them to reconsider their path. Alas, I truly do not wish to see them perish in the Grey Mist Sea..." The captain sighed, projecting an air of profound helplessness.

"Captain, you are truly a magnanimous soul! Despite their insolence towards you, you still seek to bring those two impetuous youths back!" someone exclaimed with admiration.

"It cannot be helped. After all, we have shared some time together. I simply cannot stomach the thought of them becoming prey for a Fog Monster..." the captain murmured softly.

Having spoken, he surged forward like a beam of light, disappearing into the grey mist.

After Ye Yun and Gu Anran separated from the group, they traversed a ridge and entered a secluded valley, where Ye Yun paused.

"Senior brother, that captain is no good person. He must have recognized the caliber of my Mirror of Chaos!" Gu Anran stated, her delicate face etched with concern.

"You are quite correct, little junior sister. Mmm... and that fellow has already closed in." Ye Yun replied with a gentle smile.

Gu Anran cast a wary glance behind them, then, her eyes alight with anticipation for a fight, inquired, "Senior brother, if we combine our strength, can we defeat him?"

"Without a doubt." Ye Yun responded with a hearty laugh.

"Presumptuous fools. You two, senior and junior siblings, possess truly audacious courage." The mist churned, and a figure emerged from the haze. It was none other than their captain.

"Little girl, if my perception serves me right, that mirror of yours... is of God-level, is it not?" The captain, who had previously appeared amiable, transformed into a different being. His gaze, predatory like a ferocious beast's, raked over Gu Anran, as if attempting to penetrate her very being.

"Indeed, it is God-level." Gu Anran betrayed no apprehension, raising the Mirror of Chaos in her hand and retorting with a cold laugh.

"As expected, a remarkable artifact. For such an item to be in your possession is a sheer waste of heaven's blessings." The captain's eyes gleamed, his breathing accelerating.

Despite being at the third layer of the God Monarch Realm, he himself possessed no God-level treasure. Yet, the seemingly weakest member of their previous party, this young girl at the First Level of the True God Realm, wielded a God-level mirror. It was truly astonishing.

In his estimation, this young girl likely possessed some influential backing. However, within the boundless expanse of the Grey Mist Sea, any formidable background would prove utterly useless. His sole objective was to eliminate this senior-junior pair and quietly claim all their treasures; no one would ever be the wiser.

"Little junior sister, strike and vanquish him!" Ye Yun commanded sharply. At that precise moment, he extended a finger, activating the Stasis Technique and immobilizing the captain within the mist.

"Understood, senior brother!" Gu Anran acted without hesitation. Clutching the Mirror of Chaos in her left hand, she engaged the Teleportation Boots beneath her feet, instantly appearing before him.

With her right hand, she raised her sword and brought it down in a decisive slash. Sword light flashed, descending directly towards him. The captain of the God Monarch Realm watched in abject terror as the sword light drew near, slicing downwards from the center of his brow.

He was utterly incapable of movement. All he could do was witness Gu Anran cleave him cleanly in two with a single, swift stroke.

*Poof!* Blood erupted. His bisected body plummeted heavily to the ground.

"Senior brother, that fellow didn't even attempt to dodge. Did you employ another clandestine treasure?"

Gu Anran twirled the blood from her Sword, her head cocked with a hint of bewilderment as she inquired.

The ease of the victory felt almost unreal, leaving her questioning the reality of the situation.

This opponent was a third-layer God Monarch Realm expert, a stark contrast to her own True God Realm First Level cultivation. The gap in power was immense.

Yet, with a single, effortless sword strike, she had dispatched him as if he were mere vegetables.

"You could say that..."

Ye Yun offered a soft laugh, choosing not to elaborate further as he guided the still-dazed Gu Anran away from the immediate vicinity.

The elimination of the captain had served as a subtle display of his capabilities, sparking considerable excitement within Gu Anran.

Their subsequent actions.

The duo continued their mission of eradicating Fog Monsters with a remarkably synchronized effort.

Within a secluded valley.

"Senior brother, quickly freeze those Fog Monsters!"

Gu Anran’s voice rang out with palpable enthusiasm.

"Understood."

Ye Yun responded with a shake of his head, a subtle helplessness in his demeanor, before extending a single finger. A gentle gesture was all it took.

Several Fog Monsters found themselves immobilized, encased in ice amidst the swirling mist.

Whoosh!

A blur of motion ensued as Gu Anran surged forward, her Sword a tempestuous force, cleaving through the frozen Fog Monsters as easily as a gale disperses fallen leaves.

She meticulously slit open their forms, retrieved the precious inner cores, and carefully secured them.

"Senior brother, your skills are truly astonishing. Our two-person team operates like an army of thousands!"

Gu Anran exclaimed, a deep sense of satisfaction evident in her words.

In her perception, her senior brother possessed an arsenal of divine-grade treasures, each possessing miraculous properties, capable of overpowering even a third-layer God Monarch Realm Cultivator.

As long as the Fog Monsters inhabiting the Grey Mist Sea did not surpass that particular realm, they posed no significant threat to this formidable pair.

Throughout their journey.

The pair had successfully vanquished over a hundred Fog Monsters.

Among their fallen foes were several Fog Monsters within the God Monarch Realm, and Gu Anran had amassed a substantial quantity of inner cores from their defeated bodies.

"Hehe..."

Ye Yun let out a soft chuckle, casting a casual glance around the surroundings before posing a question to his junior sister, "Little junior sister, a full day has now elapsed. While we've been diligently hunting Fog Monsters, has that sensation you spoke of reappeared?"

"Had you not mentioned it, senior brother, I would have nearly forgotten!"

Gu Anran replied with an embarrassed grin, scratching her head. "Still nothing. I’m unsure as to why."

"It matters not. What is destined to occur will occur."

Ye Yun’s smile remained serene and unperturbed.

While he had been accompanying Gu Anran throughout the day, his attention had also been focused on tracking the movements of the woman clad in red.

This red-clad woman had ventured progressively deeper into the territory, orchestrating ambushes against a considerable number of Cultivators. Through the consumption of vast quantities of flesh and blood, her cultivation base had experienced a meteoric rise.

Her current cultivation level had ascended to the Fourth-tier of the God Monarch Realm.

Such an accelerated rate of advancement was nothing short of astounding.

A typical cultivator of the Divine Earth realm would ordinarily require a minimum of ten thousand years to progress from the God Monarch Realm First Layer to the fourth tier.

Bang!

That rapidly advancing streak of red light abruptly ceased its momentum, as though it had collided with an unseen barrier, only to be forcefully repelled.

"Jie jie..."

Clutching her disheveled hair and gazing into the shadowed depths of the grey mist, the woman in red emitted an eerie, cackling sound, a look of utter madness contorting her features.

Had something obstructed her path?

A probe with her Divine Sense revealed nothing; she detected no presence, nor any discernible Formation.

"Hm?"

Upon witnessing this, Ye Yun also paused momentarily.

Moments prior, a distinct power had descended from a distance, manifesting as an impenetrable wall that sent the approaching woman in red recoiling.

He wondered who had intervened.

Just as Ye Yun pondered this enigma.

A formidable figure draped in red materialized silently before the woman in red.

Red against red.

A man and a woman, maintaining a distance of several zhang between them, stood in a silent confrontation.

Compared to the imposing presence of the burly man in red robes, the disheveled woman in red, despite her alluring figure, appeared diminutive and fragile, akin to a small bird.
