Half a month later.
"Kill it! Hack it to death!"
"Roar! Roar!"
"Don't let it get away!"
"..."
Within a dense mountain forest, dust billowed and beastly roars rang without end.
Any ordinary person who saw it would have been scared out of their wits.
It was an enormous tiger, as brawny as a small mountain. Its entire body was bone-white and hairless.
Under the westering sun, it stood with awe-inspiring majesty, utterly domineering.
"Boom!"
The giant tiger slapped down with one paw. Earth and stones flew everywhere, and several trees as thick as washbasins were flung straight into the sky like weeds.
A corner of the mountaintop was instantly shaved flat, spanning several zhang in every direction.
The cultivators besieging it below were so startled that they hurriedly scattered.
"Roar!"
Immediately afterward, the giant tiger let out another furious roar. Its body rolled, and its massive tail swept across the battlefield.
This strike was even fiercer, turning the forest into a barren expanse in an instant.
Several cultivators failed to dodge in time and were sent flying.
"Master, there aren't many among the people Wei Wu recruited who are worth a damn. It looks like this'll be hard to handle. The commotion's pretty big, but landing a killing blow will be difficult." In the distance, Wang Tie Zhu leaned close to Qin He and said, "Why don't we set out on our own? The Western Regions are still a long way off."
"Do you know where the Western Regions are?" Qin He looked at him.
"Uh... that, I don't." Wang Tie Zhu hesitated before honestly shaking his head.
"What I need right now is a bigger commotion." Qin He smiled. "The bigger the commotion, the more likely it is to draw certain things out."
"Things?" Wang Tie Zhu froze.
