Lu Changsheng had barely hidden himself when rustling sounds came from deep within the forest. Through the gaps in the branches, he saw more than a dozen black-robed figures arrive outside the entrance to Yinlei Valley.

"People from the Lone Wolf Gang!"

Lu Changsheng's gaze sharpened.

To his surprise, these black-robed figures were members of the Lone Wolf Gang. Among them were familiar faces such as Zhang Meng, Zhao Yuan, and Chen Hai. Lu Changsheng could not help feeling curious. What were the Lone Wolf Gang's people doing in a place like this?

At once, Lu Changsheng pricked up his ears and listened in on the Lone Wolf Gang's conversation.

"Big Brother, we're here. This is the place—Yinlei Valley!"

Zhang Meng said excitedly.

"Are you sure the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion King's cave is hidden inside Yinlei Valley?"

Chen Hai asked in a deep voice.

"That's right. I discovered it within Yinlei Valley. There's also extremely precious Thunder Spirit Milk inside the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion King's cave!"

Zhang Meng nodded repeatedly.

Upon hearing the words "Thunder Spirit Milk," Chen Hai and the others' eyes burned with desire.

This Thunder Spirit Milk was an exceedingly precious Lightning Element treasure. It contained Lightning Power and was an important treasure for assisting cultivation and raising one's realm.

It was said that even a single drop of Thunder Spirit Milk could be worth several hundred Spirit Stones.

"Big Brother, it's just that the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion King won't be easy to deal with. That Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion King possesses strength comparable to the eighth level of the Core Condensation Realm, and its nature is exceptionally fierce and violent..."

Zhao Yuan said worriedly.

"The eighth level of the Core Condensation Realm? It is indeed somewhat troublesome, but for the sake of obtaining the Thunder Spirit Milk, this risk is worth taking. Besides, our Lone Wolf Gang has strength in numbers. We may not necessarily fear that beast."

Chen Hai said arrogantly.

"Big Brother is right. If we join forces, we may not fear it!"

Zhang Meng and the others flattered him.

"Let's go..."

With that, Chen Hai led the Lone Wolf Gang into Yinlei Valley.

"Thunder Spirit Milk?!"

At this moment, Lu Changsheng, hidden in the tree, had overheard everything.

His eyes rolled, and he immediately made up his mind to secretly follow Chen Hai and the others inside to see whether he could find an opportunity to seize the Thunder Spirit Milk!

With that thought, he swiftly leaped down from the tree and secretly trailed behind the Lone Wolf Gang...

Rumble!

The moment they entered Yinlei Valley, deafening thunder roared in their ears.

The skies above Yinlei Valley were blanketed by dense thunderclouds, and silver bolts of lightning struck down from time to time.

Inside the valley, the scenery stood in stark contrast to that outside. Beyond the valley lay dense forest, while within it, bare rocks were scattered everywhere.

Throughout the entire valley, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth had become extremely violent as well.

Before long, the Lone Wolf Gang reached the deepest part of Yinlei Valley.

Chen Hai and the others stopped, their eyes fixed on the distance. At the foot of a bare mountain peak stood an enormous, pitch-black cave entrance.

"Zhang Meng, is that the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion King's cave?"

Chen Hai asked in a deep voice.

"That's right!"

Zhang Meng nodded.

Roar!

However, just as everyone approached the cave, a terrifying roar erupted from within.

The dreadful roar shook the entire valley violently.

"What a powerful aura!"

"Everyone, be careful!"

Chen Hai's expression changed at once.

Boom!

At that moment, a streak of purple light shot violently out from the cave.

The purple flash rapidly transformed into a colossal beastly silhouette.

"The Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion King!"

Chen Hai and the others looked over and saw a gigantic creature emerge from within the purple radiance.

It was a massive lion, its entire body covered in purple crystals like a layer of purple armor. Behind its back was a wing made of purple crystal.

Bolts of lightning densely covered its body, and it radiated the formidable aura of the eighth level of the Core Condensation Realm!

"Humans, get out of this king's territory at once, or die!"

the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion roared angrily.

Hiss!

"The Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion King can actually speak human language?"

The Lone Wolf Gang members were utterly shocked. Normally, a demonic beast at the eighth level of the Core Condensation Realm was not yet capable of speech, but the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion King was clearly an exception.

Having absorbed the Lightning Power within the valley year-round, the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion King had developed extraordinarily high intelligence. Thus, it differed from ordinary demonic beasts.

"Hmph! Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion, we only want the Thunder Spirit Milk. As long as you are willing to share some of it with us, we will leave this place immediately."

Chen Hai said in a deep voice.

"Dream on!"

"You are courting death!"

Roar!

The Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion King flew into a rage. Lightning flickered all over its body as it suddenly opened its jaws and spat out beams of purple lightning.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Bolts of purple lightning pierced forth like beams of light, whistling toward the Lone Wolf Gang.

"Dodge!"

Chen Hai's face changed drastically.

Bang! Bang! Bang—

Everyone retreated at once. The lightning beams pierced down and shattered enormous boulders into pieces.

"You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Attack together and kill this beast!"

As Chen Hai spoke, the aura of the sixth level of the Core Condensation Realm erupted from within him. His strength had improved during this period as well.

The other Lone Wolf Gang members were no weaklings either. Several of them were at the fourth or fifth level of the Core Condensation Realm. More than a dozen figures activated their spiritual energy at once and charged toward the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion King.

Rumble!

In an instant, more than a dozen Lone Wolf Gang members shot forward together, wielding spiritual energy and weapons as they engaged the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion King in fierce combat.

The terrifying shockwaves of battle caused the entire valley to rumble violently.

Roar!

The Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion King roared furiously. It was incomparably savage as it extended a sharp claw crackling with lightning and tore toward one of the figures.

Bang!

"Argh!"

With a miserable scream, a martial artist at the second level of the Core Condensation Realm was ripped apart directly by the lion's claw!

"Damn it!"

Chen Hai flew into a rage. He immediately formed hand seals, and a treasure sword radiating azure light fell into his hand.

This sword was called the Azure Nether Sword, a Yellow-tier seventh-grade artifact!

Azure Nether Slash!

Chen Hai shouted in a deep voice, then slashed out with the Azure Nether Sword in his hand.

Boom!

A streak of azure sword light, carrying razor-sharp sword qi, tore through the void and slammed heavily onto the Thunderwing Lion's body.

With a bang, a bloody gash appeared on the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion's body.

Roar!

The Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion howled in pain.

Seizing this opportunity, the dozen or so Lone Wolf Gang disciples gave the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion no chance to catch its breath. They activated the spiritual energy within their bodies, transforming it into streams of spiritual energy that whistled forward.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two sides fought fiercely, throwing the entire valley into chaos.

"Keep fighting. The fiercer, the better. Best if both sides end up wounded."

From a secluded corner, Lu Changsheng watched the tigers fight from the mountain. A smile curled at the corner of his mouth as his gaze shifted to the pitch-black cave.

At this moment, the Purple Crystal Thunderwing Lion King and the Lone Wolf Gang were locked in a fierce clash. This was the perfect opportunity for him. He could take advantage of the chaos to sneak into the cave and get his hands on the precious Thunder Spirit Milk...
