Bai Xueyou

Bai Xueyou's aura had already reached the peak of Qi Refining Level 9, and her momentum was much stronger than other cultivators at Qi Refining Level 9.

Because as soon as she appeared, a powerful aura permeated out, making her very conspicuous.

Clearly, her strength should be unmatched by ordinary cultivators at Qi Refining Level 9.

Bai Xueyou's expression was calm as she surveyed her surroundings, saying, "Everyone, our Bai Family is now facing an unprecedented crisis."

"Whether we can overcome this crisis depends on whether we can successfully obtain the Tiger Wing King's heart next."

"For the sake of the Bai Family, I hope everyone will work together with me with all their strength."

Afterwards, Bai Xueyou led more than fifty cultivators at Qi Refining Level 9 and left in one direction.

However, Bai Zi and Bai Qing were left behind to guard the luggage with the remaining cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage.

Yang Lingtian watched the direction they left in. His powerful divine soul allowed him to sense the auras of two early-stage second-tier demon beasts in a cave ten miles away.

They should be going to hunt those two early-stage second-tier demon beasts, Yang Lingtian thought to himself.

But, can they really do it with just those fifty-plus cultivators at Qi Refining Level 9?

At this moment, Bai Zi brought a roasted chicken and gave it to Yang Lingtian, saying, "Are you hungry? Here, this is for you."

"Thank you, little girl," Yang Lingtian said with a smile.

He could tell that Bai Zi was a kind-hearted girl, actually being so nice to a mortal in her eyes.

However, Bai Zi said with a displeased expression, "I've been cultivating for over thirty years now, and you don't look any older than me, so why are you calling me little girl?"

Yang Lingtian was immediately speechless. Indeed, she was more than a dozen years older than him, but she just looked young.

Then, he changed the subject and asked, "Is your young lady going to deal with the second-tier demon beast in that cave ten miles away, which is far stronger than them?"

"Huh? How did you know about that?" Bai Zi asked, a look of surprise on her face.

"I overheard them talking about it earlier," Yang Lingtian said with a faint smile.

"But I'm afraid they won't be able to kill two early-stage second-tier demon beasts, will they?"

"What two second-tier demon beasts? There's clearly only one early-stage second-tier demon beast in that cave."

"With Sister Bai Xueyou around, plus the assistance of fifty-some cultivators at Qi Refining Level 9, killing that early-stage second-tier demon beast shouldn't be too difficult."

Bai Zi said with full confidence. When she talked about Bai Xueyou, her eyes were full of admiration.

"What, is the information you received that there's only one second-tier demon beast?"

"Then it seems your Sister Bai Xueyou is probably in danger," Yang Lingtian sighed softly.

"Because there's not just one early-stage second-tier demon beast in that cave, but two."

"Hmph, nonsense. There's only one second-tier demon beast in that cave, how could there be two?"

At this moment, Bai Qing, who had just walked over, sneered, dismissing what Yang Lingtian had said.

Then, Bai Qing paused and said with a mocking expression, "You're just a mortal. You probably haven't even seen a first-tier demon beast before, have you?"

"You probably don't know what the appearance of a second-tier demon beast represents, do you?"

"In the entire Tianshan Valley, every additional second-tier demon beast is a major event that will attract attention from all sides."

"But then again, it's normal for a mortal like you to mistake some powerful demon beasts for second-tier demon beasts."

"After all, your horizons and knowledge are limited."

Indeed, the strongest demon beasts in Tianshan Valley are basically second-tier demon beasts.

After all, reaching the third tier allows one to fly through the air like a Golden Core expert, and they can all fly out of Tianshan Valley.

And the resources in the Tianshan Valley are relatively scarce, because it is a basin and not as resource-rich as a large mountain range.

Therefore, once someone breaks through to the Golden Core realm or a demon beast breaks through to the third tier, they will generally choose to leave this Tianshan Valley, which is like a cage.

Listening to Bai Qing's undisguised mockery, even Bai Zi couldn't stand it anymore.

She glared at Bai Qing with a dissatisfied expression and said, "Bai Qing, you can't speak so excessively."

Bai Qing snorted coldly and turned to look towards the cave, no longer speaking.

Bai Zi looked at Yang Lingtian and asked with a curious expression, "Since you said there are two second-tier demon beasts in that cave, how do you know?"

"I heard it," Yang Lingtian said casually and vaguely.

"Then you must have heard fake news," Bai Zi also dismissed Yang Lingtian's words.

Yang Lingtian also shook his head, no longer offering further explanation.

Then, he closed his eyes, sensing the various auras within a radius of dozens of miles through his powerful divine soul.

Yang Lingtian discovered Bai Xueyou and her group rapidly rushing through the mountains and forests by sensing their auras.

He could also clearly sense the auras of the two early-stage second-tier demon beasts entrenched in the cave ten miles away.

Soon, Bai Xueyou and the others arrived at the cave and lured out one of the second-tier demon beasts.

Clearly, they were also prepared.

They saw their fifty cultivators at Qi Refining Level 9, led by Bai Xueyou, form a huge killing formation.

One of the Tiger Wing Kings from inside the cave was lured into the killing formation set up by Bai Xueyou and the others.

This one was enormous, covered in black fur, with a wingspan of several meters.

On its ferocious tiger head, two sharp wing thorns pointed straight towards the sky.

Although it possessed wings, they were only for assistance; it wasn't a true flying demon beast.

Otherwise, it would have been able to fly out of this Tianshan Valley.

At this moment, it was trapped within the formation, constantly lunging left and right, unleashing a powerful aura.

Although Bai Xueyou and the others' individual strength and cultivation were inferior to the Tiger Wing King's.

However, their cooperation was seamless, and with the power of the killing formation, they temporarily managed to trap the Tiger Wing King.

However, each attack from the Tiger Wing King caused varying degrees of damage to the dozens of Qi Refining Level 9 cultivators who were maintaining the formation.

This was after the Tiger Wing King's attacks were weakened by the killing formation and the force was distributed among them.

Otherwise, a single attack from the Tiger Wing King would have been enough to kill an ordinary Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator.

Under the Tiger Wing King's relentless attacks, blood had begun to trickle from the corners of the mouths of the fifty-odd Qi Refining Stage cultivators, and their faces were turning slightly pale.

The Tiger Wing King grew more courageous as it fought, its tiger claws slashing through the air, creating a series of whooshing sounds.

The group constantly activated the formation, resisting the Tiger Wing King's attacks.

However, the Tiger Wing King's power was too great, and cracks had begun to appear on the light screen of the killing formation they had set up.

A determined glint flashed in Bai Xueyou's eyes as she charged straight towards the Tiger Wing King, holding a long sword that gleamed with a cold light.

Seeing this, the others also activated the formation's strongest attack, launching it towards the Tiger Wing King.

Bai Xueyou seemed to merge with her sword, her figure streaking across the sky like a bolt of lightning.

With a boom, the attack gathered by the group struck the Tiger Wing King first.

It had no choice but to defend against these attacks, giving Bai Xueyou an opportunity.

In that instant, Bai Xueyou's sword arrived as expected, piercing fiercely into the Tiger Wing King's body.

The Tiger Wing King was enraged and swung its body, sending Bai Xueyou flying.

However, it was already injured, and its strength had been weakened.

"Go all out and kill the Tiger Wing King!" Bai Xueyou shouted to the fifty-odd people maintaining the formation after being sent flying.

Instantly, the formation's power erupted completely, and powerful attacks rained down on the Tiger Wing King.

And Bai Xueyou, just like before, found the right moment and, with the formation's coordination, charged fiercely towards the Tiger Wing King.

After a fierce battle lasting more than an hour, many wounds had appeared on the Tiger Wing King's body.

Of course, the fifty-odd people maintaining the formation were not in good shape either.

Each of them was pale, clearly having overexerted themselves, and suffered internal injuries.

However, at this rate, if they persisted for another hour or so, the Tiger Wing King would definitely be killed.

The Tiger Wing King also realized that if it dragged on like this, it would die at the hands of these human cultivators whose cultivation was lower than its own.

So it roared towards the sky, beginning to call for help from the other Tiger Wing King inside the cave.

Suddenly, a powerful aura of an early-stage second-tier demon beast emanated from within the cave.

Everyone felt this formidable aura, and their expressions changed drastically.

"There's actually another second-tier demon beast in this cave, how is that possible?" the crowd exclaimed.

Dealing with a single early-stage second-tier demon beast was already extremely difficult for them, requiring them to exert all their strength.

If another one appeared, they all believed that defeat was inevitable!

A look of disappointment, unwillingness, and despair appeared in Bai Xueyou's eyes.

They had used their trump cards and gathered the strength of everyone to barely suppress a single early-stage second-tier demon beast.

Now, suddenly, another one had emerged; how could these Qi Refining Level 9 cultivators possibly resist?

At this moment, the Tiger Wing King inside the cave had already rushed out, causing the ground to shake violently.

"This is the male Tiger Wing King's mate; rumors say that it's only peak first-tier and they aren't often together."

"I didn't expect this female Tiger Wing King to also be in the cave, and it has already broken through to the second-tier."

"Damn it, a second-tier demon beast has silently appeared in this cave."

"Who was responsible for this intelligence? Making such a big mistake is unforgivable."

"It just broke through not long ago, so the intelligence was a bit inaccurate; it's normal that it wasn't detected."

"Now is not the time to discuss this; the appearance of two second-tier demon beasts is already beyond what we can handle."

"Retreat quickly, everyone retreat quickly."

The appearance of this second second-tier demon beast immediately threw this group of people into disarray, disrupting their formation.

In their plan, they had prepared many methods, all of which were only aimed at a single Tiger Wing King.

Now that a second second-tier demon beast has emerged, it's far beyond their ability to handle.

In an instant, some people lost their fighting spirit, not caring about anything else, and began to flee in all directions.

Without these people maintaining the formation, the killing array that trapped the Tiger Wing King immediately collapsed.

Freed, the Tiger Wing King frantically attacked the fleeing human cultivators, and those who couldn't escape in time died under the Tiger Wing King's attacks.

At this time, Bai Xueyou still hadn't retreated; she was still reluctant to leave.

What to do? This is the chance to obtain that last main ingredient.

If I can't get it, I won't be able to refine the Spirit Restoration Pill, and Grandpa's hidden ailment won't be cured.

If Grandpa's illness isn't treated, then our Bai Family is doomed; we'll decline from now on.

"The Bai Family is doomed..." Bai Xueyou's face was ashen.

At this moment, she didn't care about her own life or death, but was still considering the rise and fall of the family.
