“The fat man seemed like an easy target just now, and yet Sister Hu Yan had actually let him go.”
“It was crucial to find those two cultivators now. If we delay and let the Wolf Clan take the lead, the Fox Clan will lose all face.”
“That’s true, but who are those two? What’s their background, and how dare they challenge both our demon clans?”
“A young Core formation cultivator like that couldn’t be unknown. I’ve never heard of them before. It’s like they appeared out of nowhere.”
“In my opinion, these two must have some background. Maybe they were released by some powerful old monster.”
Hu Yan noticed the two grey foxes lagging behind and urged in a deep voice, “Hurry up and catch up.”
The two fox demons, who had been whispering quietly, snapped back to attention and quickly caught up.
Seeing the fox demon being taken away, Li Tianyan tucked the items hidden in his sleeves. He hadn’t expected Hu Yan to be so sharp. It seemed he’d have to be cautious around her from now on.
When Zhao Shubao saw Zhao Yu and the others appear, he couldn’t help but exclaim in relief, “Ah Yu, Ah Hui, it’s a good thing you’re here.”
“The subordinate found the mark left by the young master and immediately set out to search. Fortunately, the young master is fine.” Zhao Yu and Zhao Hui both felt relieved when they saw Zhao Shubao.
“Have you heard? The Fox Clan sent out so many core formation demon cultivators. Do you know what’s going on?” Zhao Shubao asked them.
A group of fox demons had suddenly appeared earlier, and he’d been startled, thinking they were trying to rob him.
“Not only the Fox Clan, but a group of demon cultivators from the Wolf Clan showed up too. They’re all searching for those two evil cultivators. I heard they stole a spiritual herb from both the Fox Clan and the Wolf Clan,” Zhao Yu explained.
“We ran into the shadow wolf Hei Yin on the road, and he kept us occupied for a while before we managed to escape. With Ten Thousand Beast Mountain being so unstable, we should leave quickly. If the fox demon comes back, it’ll be troublesome,” Zhao Hui warned.
“Then what are you waiting for? Let’s go quickly,” Zhao Shubao also felt that Ten Thousand Beast Mountain was not a safe place.
Seeing Zhao Shubao about to leave, Zhao Yu hesitated and asked, “Young master, why are you two alone? Where are Young Master Chen and the others? And who are these two?”
“We’ll talk about Chen Feng on the way.” Upon hearing Chen Feng’s name, Zhao Shubao’s expression darkened again.
However, Zhao Yu’s question reminded Zhao Shubao, and he turned to Li Tianyan, saying, “Fellow Cultivator Li, it seems we can’t stay in Ten Thousand Beast Mountain any longer. You were also planning to go to Alliance City, weren’t you? Why don’t you let me give you a ride?”
Li Tianyan thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement. “That’s fine.”
Having decided not to delay any further, they quickly evacuated the mountain. However, they inevitably encountered members of the demon clan along the way.
Since the demon clan was searching for the two evil cultivators, Zhao Shubao remained calm. Whenever they were stopped by the demon clan, he displayed his credentials as a member of the Alchemist Guild and introduced Li Tianyan and his companion as his subordinates.
After a few routine checks by the demon clans, they were allowed to pass when nothing suspicious was found. Fortunately, until they left Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, they didn’t run into Hu Yan or Hei Yin again.
Once they had left the mountain, Zhao Yu released a flying carriage to hurry them along. The animals pulling the carriage were two foundation-establishment wind chime birds. After Li Tianyan and Cheng Qi entered the carriage, they quietly found a corner to rest.
“Niuniu, be good, we won’t sit down next time,” Cheng Qi said, noticing that the Bull Beast was upset after realizing another spirit beast was pulling the carriage. He spent the rest of the journey soothing the jealous pet.
Zhao Shubao and the others had been silent, discussing matters with the two guards via voice transmission. Li Tianyan, uninterested in eavesdropping, closed off his sea of consciousness and rested against Cheng Qi.
Pei Qing glanced at the two of them, sitting closely together in the corner, and felt a brief moment of envy.
.
“Did you hear about Ten Thousand Beast Mountain?”
“Did some big monster appear in Ten Thousand Beast Mountain recently?”
“It wasn’t a big demon. Two core formation human cultivators had appeared this time. I heard that an Emperor’s Essence Grass, which many demon clans had been eyeing, was eventually snatched from the tiger’s mouth by the two human cultivators.”
Infinite Island was several times larger than the Hengwu Continent and was divided into nine states based on inland rivers. Huwei Prefecture in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain was far from Xuanding Prefecture in Alliance City. It would take a long time to travel with the wind chime birds and beasts, and there were many risks along the way. The only way to return was with the help of teleportation formations set up between several states.
The only teleportation formation in Huwei Prefecture was located in Minghai City. As soon as they entered the city, they overheard a conversation. Not only was Cheng Qi very interested, but Zhao Shubao and the others also pricked up their ears to listen.
“Could the Emperor’s Essence Grass you’re talking about have been the one guarded by the Sky-Eating Tiger King?”
“That’s right. When the spiritual grass matured, many demon clans and spiritual beasts had appeared, and even a powerful demon had shown up. A group of big demons fought for the spiritual grass, causing countless deaths and injuries. Beast corpses had been scattered everywhere. In the end, the Sky-Eating Tiger King had died in the battle.”
Zhao Shubao broke into a cold sweat when he heard this. He hadn’t expected that, during their time in Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, a fight between demon kings had taken place in the mountain.
