Qingshan Town.
Wolf Head mercenary group headquarters.
Several figures sat in the somewhat heavy atmosphere of the hall.
At the head of the hall sat a middle-aged man with a slightly gloomy face. His fingers lightly tapped the tabletop as he was the first to break the silence in the room.
"Still no news of Li'er?" the middle-aged man asked in a somewhat hoarse voice.
This man was Mu She, leader of the Wolf Head mercenary group, possessing the strength of a two-star Dou Shi.
"Reporting to the leader, we have searched all over Qingshan Town, inside and out, but found no trace of the young leader," a burly middle-aged man said slowly as he rose to his feet upon hearing Mu She's words.
This burly man was He Meng, the third commander of the Wolf Head mercenary group, possessing the strength of an eight-star Dou Zhe.
"If he is not in Qingshan Town, then did you not send anyone into the Magical Beast Mountain Range to look for him?" Mu She's expression darkened further as he spoke grimly.
For some reason, Mu She suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart.
"Li'er, you must not let anything happen to you..." As rage surged within him, Mu She silently prayed.
He had only this one son. If anything happened to him, he would never be able to accept it.
"Leader, I sent people into the Magical Beast Mountain Range long ago to search for him. We should have results soon." Seeing Mu She's anger, a gaunt man seated below him slowly stood and spoke.
This gaunt man was Gan Mu, the second commander of the Wolf Head mercenary group, possessing the strength of a nine-star Dou Zhe.
Just as Gan Mu finished speaking, hurried footsteps sounded outside the hall.
"Bad news!"
"Bad news!"
"The young leader has met with disaster!"
A member of the Wolf Head mercenary group ran into the hall in a panic, fear in his eyes. "Leader, the young leader... is dead!"
The moment those words were spoken, the entire hall fell deathly silent, and the atmosphere instantly turned icy.
"What did you... say?"
"Say that again!"
Upon hearing the mercenary's report in the spacious hall, Mu She's face instantly twisted with rage. He crushed the teacup in his hand and roared furiously.
Seeing Mu She fly into a rage, the Wolf Head higher-ups in the hall remained silent. No one dared provoke him at this moment.
"The... the young leader died in the Magical Beast Mountain Range..."
Feeling the terrifying killing intent radiating from Mu She, the mercenary's body trembled and his lips quivered as he spoke.
"Ah..."
"Impossible!"
"Utter nonsense! How could my son possibly be dead?!"
"You deserve to die!"
The instant the mercenary finished speaking, Mu She could no longer suppress his fury. Dou Qi erupted from his body as a fierce palm strike blasted toward the mercenary.
"Ah..."
"Urgh..."
As a shrill scream rang through the hall, the mercenary who had just spoken died on the spot.
Seeing this, everyone present felt a chill run through their hearts. For a time, the entire hall was silent as a graveyard.
"Where is my son's body?" Perhaps the killing had slightly vented the rage in his heart. After a moment of silence, Mu She asked with an incomparably grim expression.
"Leader, I will go bring the young leader back at once..."
At this, He Meng hurried out of the hall.
A moment later, Mu Li's corpse was carried in by two members of the Wolf Head mercenary group, with He Meng following behind.
"Leader, please restrain your grief!" He Meng's expression was also somewhat grim as he looked at Mu Li's corpse.
He had been on fairly good terms with Mu Li and often went out to have fun with him. Seeing Mu Li suddenly die such a miserable death also filled him with anger.
"Li'er..."
Looking at Mu Li's corpse, Mu She's body trembled, and his eyes could not help growing moist.
This was his only son!
Who had been so vicious as to kill his only son?
After taking several heavy breaths, Mu She rasped, "Who did this to my son? Whoever dared kill him, I swear I will tear them into ten thousand pieces!"
Everyone looked at one another, utterly speechless.
"Leader, we are currently investigating..." Facing the silent hall, Gan Mu gave a dry cough and could only force himself to speak.
"Useless!"
"A bunch of useless trash!"
Mu She slammed his palm heavily onto the table and roared, "I am giving you one day. No matter what, you must find the murderer who killed my son!"
"Yes, Leader!" With Mu She's words, He Meng, Gan Mu, and the others could only agree through gritted teeth.
Soon, everyone immediately sprang into action, leaving Mu She alone in the hall.
"Li'er, rest assured!"
"Your father will certainly avenge you."
"I swear, no matter who it is, I will make them beg for death but be unable to die!" Mu She said in an incomparably chilling voice as he looked at Mu Li's pale, lifeless corpse.
Deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Within the dim forest, a Tier 1 Bloodthirsty Rat crawled cautiously along. Its tiny blood-red eyes constantly swept through the woods in vigilance, while its sharp teeth and claws gleamed with a cold light.
After scurrying forward for another short distance, just as the Bloodthirsty Rat lowered its head to gnaw at the sap from a tree trunk, a white shadow shot down violently from the tree. It spewed out a blast of frigid air, instantly freezing the feet of the Bloodthirsty Rat just as it sensed danger and tried to flee.
A huge maw filled with sharp fangs snapped shut, swallowing the Bloodthirsty Rat whole in a flash.
After killing the Bloodthirsty Rat, the Frost Unicorn Wolf could not help revealing a smug look in its eyes. It leisurely groomed its snow-white fur, looking quite pleased with itself.
This giant wolf, covered in snow-white fur, was called a Frost Unicorn Wolf. Its strength was roughly at the Tier 2 Advanced level.
With such strength, killing a Bloodthirsty Rat was naturally extremely easy.
Opening its bloody maw, the Frost Unicorn Wolf swallowed the Bloodthirsty Rat's corpse in one bite and prepared to leave in search of new prey.
With its enormous body, a mere Bloodthirsty Rat was naturally not enough to satisfy it.
But at that moment, a sudden change occurred!
Bang!
With a strange sound, a lush ancient tree not far from the Frost Unicorn Wolf suddenly shook, sending down a great shower of leaves.
In an instant, it seemed as though a rain of fallen leaves had descended within the cramped space.
This sudden change startled the Frost Unicorn Wolf, and its massive body instinctively retreated.
Then, at the very instant the Frost Unicorn Wolf stepped back, a figure suddenly shot down from the ancient tree.
At the same time, a fierce palm imprint containing savage force condensed in the figure's hand and slammed ruthlessly toward the Frost Unicorn Wolf's head.
Facing this incomparably fierce palm imprint, the Frost Unicorn Wolf immediately felt an intense sense of danger. Its fur stood on end in an instant.
Awoo!
Opening its bloody maw and exposing its savage fangs, the Frost Unicorn Wolf let out a wolf howl. Then, a stream of white frigid air suddenly shot from its mouth.
In an instant, the white vapor enveloped the figure. Yet this time, the icy vapor had no effect.
The figure suddenly split into several afterimages, easily evading the Frost Unicorn Wolf's ice attack.
At the same time, the figure took a step forward, and several more afterimages charged at the Frost Unicorn Wolf. The afterimages were so lifelike that the Frost Unicorn Wolf could not distinguish real from fake.
Seeing that its frigid air was ineffective, the Frost Unicorn Wolf hurriedly turned around, its four legs moving as it fled for its life.
Seeing the Frost Unicorn Wolf actually flee, the figure behind it could not help sneering before taking another step.
Clone Demonic Shadow!
As the figure shouted, its body suddenly became illusory.
The next moment, its speed abruptly increased, and more than a dozen afterimages flashed into existence.
At that moment, the figure actually overtook the Frost Unicorn Wolf, which was exceptionally skilled in speed, within the forest.
Awoo!
The next moment, more than a dozen afterimages surrounded the Frost Unicorn Wolf, making it let out an extremely uneasy howl.
Then, the figure suddenly spun, and a palm imprint containing fierce force slammed heavily onto the wolf's head.
Earth Splitting Palm!
The Frost Unicorn Wolf's howl abruptly stopped. With a dull explosion, its hard wolf head burst apart, blood and brains spraying everywhere.
After killing the Frost Unicorn Wolf with a single palm strike, the figure slightly raised his head, revealing the handsome face of a young man. It was none other than Flowing Cloud, who was training in the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
