This is outrageous! Wang Xuan couldn't help but want to retaliate. Did they really think that superhumans were invincible?!

However, before that, he wanted to confirm some things: whether this old jackal was colluding with those three superhumans, otherwise how would it know about the short sword, and so specifically?

Furthermore, would mentioning the White Peacock make it wary? Wang Xuan really didn't want to use his trump card unless absolutely necessary.

"We are just mortals, how could we, how dare we, go deep into the secret realm to provoke the extraordinary? Someone is misleading you," Zhao Qinghan said.

Furthermore, she told the Black Horned Beast that they had encountered another Supernatural Being on their journey, who was also a law enforcer, and that the being had told them that he would enforce the law impartially.

"The law enforcement officer discovered that the three extraordinary individuals had crossed the line and has already gone to pursue them," Zhao Qinghan said calmly.

Great Grandmaster Horse was puzzled. When had he encountered another enforcer? Soon it dawned on him that the beautiful female Horse Keeper was deceiving the Black Horned Beast.

Upon hearing this, the Black Horned Beast's pupils contracted slightly, but it remained expressionless, staring intently at Zhao Qinghan with a terrifying gaze that put immense pressure on her.

"We told it that we had been hunted down by three superhumans and had narrowly escaped death. The law enforcement officer assured us that if anything happened to us, it would investigate thoroughly."

Zhao Qinghan said calmly, showing no fear despite the gaze of an extraordinary monster.

In this life-or-death situation, she remained calm and composed. Deceiving a demon was merely to make it wary and save her, Wang Xuan, and the white colt's lives.

Wang Xuan remained silent, while Zhao Qinghan said everything she could. He was responsible for keeping watch to prevent the old wolf from suddenly attacking.

The Black Horned Beast's gaze was cold and unsettling as it asked, "What does the other enforcer look like?"

"A peacock, over five meters long, with a body as white as snow, surrounded by auspicious light," Zhao Qinghan reported.

She did indeed see the peacock.

The Black Horned Beast stared at her with cold eyes and said, "You are very quick-witted and handled the situation calmly. You dared to blackmail me and intimidate me with a great demon. That's quite impressive. However, you don't understand that White Peacock. It will take action, but it will not make any verbal guarantees."

It continued, "Look, your heart just beat a little faster. Also, you gathered your thoughts, afraid that my powerful Mental Power would perceive the details, capture the fragments of your thoughts, and learn the truth that you have never been in contact with law enforcement."

The old jackal was extremely cunning, observant, and highly alert; he actually saw through the truth.

Zhao Qinghan was about to say something when Wang Xuan gestured that she didn't need to say anything more and stepped in front of her. This Black Horned Beast was no benevolent creature; it could turn hostile at any moment and was not easily fooled.

"I understand your attitude. The short sword is indeed related to the Earth Immortal. But I don't understand why you are so biased towards those three?"

Wang Xuan spoke up, having already confirmed through subtle clues that the Black Horned Beast was instigated by three extraordinary individuals to target him.

"Is there really an Earthly Immortal Palace?" The old jackal's eyes gleamed with a hint of greed. It was covered in black fur and was over three meters long. Although it looked like a human meditating, a murderous aura was faintly visible.

"Yes!" Wang Xuan looked at him and said, "Only I know that I found and picked up this short sword by accident. If you want me to take you there, don't hurt any of us. Otherwise, I promise I won't utter a word. I'm a man of principle."

The old jackal pretended to act, lowering its black claws. Just now, it really wanted to attack directly, crippling the two people and the horse first to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Wang Xuan said, "That place is very dangerous. I feel that a single extraordinary expert is not enough to handle it. But if it's just you, I advise you not to go."

"It's alright, I have a nephew who has also broken through to the Supernatural Domain, so I can have him come along." The Black Horned Beast didn't care; as long as it found the Earth Immortal Palace, it could slowly explore and investigate.

Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. He was just testing the waters; was there really a second extraordinary monster? Fortunately, he didn't rush to make a move.

The old jackal let out a low growl, and soon after, roars echoed from the forest in response.

A moment later, a wild boar the size of an armored vehicle entered the cave. Its black bristles stood upright like steel needles, and when they touched the cave wall, they actually scratched the stone wall.

Great Grandmaster Horse's eyes gleamed strangely. This was the jackal's nephew? He was clearly a pig!

"Let's go, lead the way!" The Black Horned Beast stood up, then, as if remembering something, said brazenly, "Let me see the short sword first."

The so-called "showing it" naturally means handing it over. Once it's in its hands, can it be returned?

"Can you explain to me why you're favoring those three and insisting on targeting me, a mere mortal? Aren't you afraid that the White Peacock will cause you trouble by breaking the Rules like this?"

Wang Xuan took out the short sword and showed it to it.

"Why? Naturally, it's because I have a connection with his grandfather. You can only blame your bad luck." The old jackal couldn't take his eyes off the short sword and said, "There's something about it that I can't figure out. It's an antique."

"As a law enforcer, instead of restraining superhumans from crossing the line and killing people, is it really appropriate for you to treat me, the victim, like this?" Wang Xuan asked coldly, taking a few steps back to adjust his angle.

"Whether it's good or bad, it's up to me to decide. You provoked a superhuman, creating trouble out of nothing. As an enforcer, I can naturally correct your mistakes," the Black Horned Beast laughed, appearing indifferent and as if it were turning black into white.

Great Grandmaster Horse glared, "Is there no Heavenly Principle left? Do they think they can cover up everything? As a law enforcer, they are so corrupt! It infuriates me!"

"So, even if I bring you to the Earth Immortal Palace, you won't let us go?" Wang Xuan moved again, choosing a good spot. He felt that was enough and there was no need to delay any longer.

"Judging from your performance, if you are sincere, I will naturally not harm you. Perhaps you are the Chosen One, and when you go to the Earthly Immortal Palace, you will obtain great opportunities there first," the Black Horned Beast laughed, not wanting to let its prey despair for the time being.

It was determined that once it arrived at the destination, it would smash the two people and the horse to pieces with a single paw to avoid any accidents.

"You keep your word!" Wang Xuan tossed the short sword over, looking hopeful.

The old jackal snatched the short sword, placed it on its paw, and examined it closely; the ancient-looking blade attracted its attention.

Wang Xuan moved, the Silver Hairpin in his hand was activated, bursting out a dazzling beam of light, and slashed forward.

The Black Horned Beast was enraged and tried to dodge, but when it felt the light engulf it, it was too late. It fought back with all its might, roaring as its Dark Light surged.

However, the white light cleaved its body in two, proving indestructible and causing it to bleed profusely!

The white light continued its rapid movement, piercing through the old jackal and then striking the enormous wild boar demon behind it!

Wang Xuan deliberately chose this position to ensure that the three of them were in a straight line, so that he might be able to kill both extraordinary monsters with just one use of the Silver Hairpin.

Puff!

The boar demon, as big as an armored vehicle, was hit and split in two, blood flowing freely.

"Roar!"

Although the Black Horned Beast was split in two, it was not dead yet. In particular, a ball of light shone from within its flesh and blood, as if it wanted to pounce on Wang Xuan.

However, in an instant, white energy surged between its and the wild boar's split bodies, accompanied by a tiger's roar, and a phantom of a white tiger roared and tore them apart!

The Black Horned Beast and the wild boar demon died tragically, leaving blood and chunks of flesh scattered all over the ground.

Great Grandmaster Horse was dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe. The Horse Keeper was so powerful? He annihilated two extraordinary monsters with a wave of his hand—it was terrifying!

Zhao Qinghan covered her mouth, shocked that the two demons had been so easily killed!

Wang Xuan sighed, looking down at the Silver Hairpin in his hand. It could only be used twice, and now he was wasting one of them.

However, the thought that the Silver Hairpin came from his enemy and was tricked from the White Tiger Demon Immortal put him in a good mood. Using his enemy's treasure to kill his foe still gave him a sense of accomplishment.

"Don't look at me like that, this is a weapon given to us by the white tiger raised by the Red-clothed Demon Immortal," Wang Xuan frankly admitted, then urged, "Loot the spoils, then get out of here quickly!"

After all, this is the lair of a demon, and extraordinary monsters might visit at any time.

"Hey, there's an ancient picture here. It has many different images. It looks like a monster is swallowing the essence of the sun and moon. There are also visualization diagrams, which seem to be some kind of strange cultivation method." Zhao Qinghan found a picture.

Upon hearing this, Great Grandmaster Horse excitedly kicked up his heels and rushed over, sticking his big head out to watch.

"Let's leave first!" Wang Xuan picked up a small piece of pig leg and then picked up the two tattered hind legs of the Black Horned Beast. It was really not easy to leave any large chunks of flesh and blood after being strangled by the Silver Hairpin.

Whoosh whoosh!

The two men and the horse have vanished without a trace!

Soon, the stench of blood attracted all sorts of wild beasts, their roars echoing through the air. The rotten flesh and broken bones of the extraordinary demons sparked a frenzy among various monsters as they fought over the spoils.

On a quiet mountain peak, Zhao Qinghan remained silent. The old jackal who had just been threatening them had now been skinned by Wang Xuan, washed clean by the spring, and roasted!

"Here, eat it while it's hot. This is extraordinary flesh and blood, a great tonic!" Wang Xuan wrapped a few pieces of lean meat in a lotus leaf and handed them to Zhao Qinghan.

Then, he tossed a jackal leg to Great Grandmaster Horse. He himself took a bite of pork leg and a bite of jackal leg.

"The best way to respect demons and enemies is to bury them and digest them." Wang Xuan found the extraordinary flesh delicious, which made him very hungry.

Zhao Qinghan exclaimed in surprise, "This tastes... really delicious. If we bring it back to New Star and have a top chef cook it, with these extraordinary ingredients, it will definitely become a famous delicacy."

Meanwhile, deep within the secret realm, in the Abandoned Immortal City, Zhong Qing and her brother Zhong Cheng were gnawing on supernatural rat jerky. Although it tasted good, they ate it with furrowed brows and their eyes closed, as if they were going to their execution.

The thought of rat meat made them feel nauseous, but remembering Old Zhong's advice that it was a highly nutritious food, they had no choice but to force themselves to eat it.

"We absolutely cannot let anyone we know see us!" the two muttered to themselves.

In the distance, Xiong Kun and the other two extraordinary individuals waited with smiles for good news from the Black Horned Beast.

"The Black Horned Beast is powerful and has many smaller beasts under its command. It should have already discovered and dealt with those two people and one horse. It's a pity about that short sword."

"The Mysterious Mist is even more precious; it can reshape one's constitution and truly defy Change Fate. We must obtain it!"

They were chatting casually, quite relaxed.

Wang Xuan bid farewell, saying, "Take care of yourselves and stay safe. I'm going to the Land of the Dead to prepare for my ascent into the Supernatural Domain. Then I can go to the depths of the secret realm."

Great Grandmaster Horse trotted over, wagging his tail, mouth open, tongue sticking out, with a fake Ma-style smile on his face.

Wang Xuan was stunned, mistaking it for a husky.

He quickly realized that Great Grandmaster Horse was reminding him not to forget to pick the Demon Fruit, because it wanted to become Horse Chao Fan!

"Okay, I understand. I'll pick them for you. Take good care of Qing Han!"

Great Grandmaster Horse nodded vigorously, grinning broadly. It eagerly awaited the return of its Horse Keeper, who would bring the rarest Demon Fruit. It longed to transform itself, to venture into the depths of the secret realm with its Horse Keeper, and then, on horseback, transcend all!

"Be careful, safety first!" Zhao Qinghan reminded him, watching him leave.
