Beast Nest Upheaval

The entrance to the Immortal Medicine Garden was a massive rift of light stretching across the shattered mountain range. Hazy spiritual energy flowed from it like a waterfall, carrying a primitive yet dangerous, sickly-sweet scent.

Zhang Tie stood among the disciples of Divine Beast Mountain. His black robes stirred faintly in the spiritual wind, while the blood-red coffin over three meters long on his back stood out in grim silence, drawing both open and covert scrutiny from those around him.

"Be careful. Seek your own opportunities. I have a separate task to handle alone," Zhang Tie told them, then vanished in an instant before anyone could respond.

At that moment, Zhang Tie was following the map in his jade slip, heading swiftly toward his destination.

He had no intention of wasting time on trivial matters. He only wanted to obtain the Gale Wyrm egg as quickly as possible, then begin hunting the local fourth-rank demonic beasts to cultivate and raise his cultivation.

After traveling barely a hundred li, fierce sounds of battle and the roars of demonic beasts came from ahead and to the side.

Zhang Tie frowned slightly and swept the area with his divine sense. He found three mid-stage Core Formation cultivators from the Sacred Rune Sect being besieged by a pack of black-furred demon wolves with sharp fangs and claws.

Several wolf corpses already lay on the ground, clearly showing that the battle had been going on for some time.

"Bloodthirsty Demon Wolves, mid-stage third rank, pack beasts..." Zhang Tie immediately recognized them. These demonic beasts were quite troublesome and held grudges; once they latched onto someone, they would fight to the death.

He had no intention of interfering and was about to go around them. However, the three Sacred Rune Sect cultivators had already noticed him.
