"Young Master Qin, I'm afraid... you still don't know the situation you're in, do you?"
"Right now, near the Xuan Yin Mountain Range, experts and rising talents from the Divine Saber Sect, True Martial Hall, Thunderclap Hall, Pushen Hall, the Demonic Sect's Nine Nether Mansion, and the Tang Sect have all arrived!"
Yu Shiqie spoke slowly. "If Young Master Qin hands over the Yellow Springs Saber, cripples his own martial arts, and follows this humble woman to the Pure Land Zen Monastery, my Pudu Jing'an Nunnery can guarantee your life."
"Originally, Young Master Qin only needed to hand over the Yellow Springs Demonic Blade. Unfortunately, you also cultivated Jingyan Palace's forbidden art, the 'Life and Death Seal.' Therefore, your martial arts must be crippled. To prevent the Life and Death Seal from spreading through the Jianghu, you must follow this humble woman to the Pure Land Zen Monastery and cultivate in hardship!"
"This is currently Young Master Qin's only way to preserve his life! Otherwise..."
Every word Yu Shiqie spoke dripped with threat.
"HAHAHA!!"
Qin Shuang gripped the Yellow Springs Saber tightly and threw back his head in laughter. "Now I understand Li Tianhen's circumstances back then! There were no demons in this world to begin with—you people forced them into being! Divine Saber Sect, True Martial Hall, Thunderclap Hall, Pushen Hall, the Demonic Sect's Nine Nether Mansion, Tang Sect—very good!! If I, Qin Shuang, survive, I will surely visit every one of you and settle accounts!"
Hearing Qin Shuang's words, Yu Shiqie's expression changed, and the worry in her beautiful eyes deepened.
Shen Feiyu stood to one side, narrowing his eyes as he said to Yu Shiqie, "Fairy Yu, this man's demonic nature runs too deep. There is no need to waste any more breath on him. Fairy Yu need not stain her hands with killing karma; I am willing to serve you like a dog or horse!"
Once Shen Feiyu finished speaking, his gaze swept over Qin Shuang, his killing intent utterly undisguised.
"Young Master Qin, please think carefully!"
Ignoring Shen Feiyu, Yu Shiqie fixed her beautiful eyes on Qin Shuang and spoke in a deep voice.
"I'd like to see who dares make things difficult for my little friend Qin!"
At that moment, an aged voice rang out thirty feet away. A tall figure in robes of black and yellow, wearing a tiger-faced mask, stepped out from behind a fir tree. As he looked at Yu Shiqie and Shen Feiyu, an unfathomable aura radiated from him!
"You..."
Yu Shiqie looked at the tiger-masked figure who had appeared, her delicate body shuddering as a shocked expression surfaced on her pretty face.
The instant this man appeared, he actually gave her the feeling of facing her master!
"Who is this man?"
Wariness appeared in Shen Feiyu's eyes. The aura of the Tiger Mask Man before him was far too powerful. Though he had been so close just now, neither he nor Yu Shiqie had noticed him lurking nearby!
The Tiger Mask Man appeared beside Qin Shuang. His formidable aura pressed Yu Shiqie and Shen Feiyu so heavily that neither could move.
"Senior, Qin Shuang's demonic nature is too deep. He must—"
Yu Shiqie respectfully cupped her fists toward the Tiger Mask Man. Before she could finish, the Tiger Mask Man narrowed his eyes and said in a grave voice, "Get lost before I change my mind. Otherwise, don't bother leaving!"
The expression on Yu Shiqie's pretty face froze. After hesitating for a moment, she turned and left.
Shen Feiyu hurriedly followed behind Yu Shiqie, and the two vanished in an instant.
"Many thanks, Senior!"
Qin Shuang cupped his fists and bowed to the Tiger Mask Man.
At that moment, Qin Shuang's yearning for strength grew even stronger.
With overwhelming strength, one could do as one pleased—one could flip the table whenever one wanted!
"It is not that this old man did not wish to kill them. It is merely that one is a Holy Land Holy Maiden, while the other is the direct disciple of Liufang Pavilion's master, Devil Master Ding Ao. Killing them would be somewhat troublesome..." The Tiger Mask Man explained upon seeing Qin Shuang's gaze.
The Tiger Mask Man knew perfectly well that the reason he had not shown himself sooner was to make Qin Shuang understand just how dire his situation was!
After speaking, the Tiger Mask Man added, "From now on, call this old man Tiger Wanderer! Now, I will take you to find the place where Golden Bone can be forged!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior!"
Qin Shuang hesitated slightly in his heart, then immediately nodded.
He knew clearly that the Divine Saber Sect, True Martial Hall, Thunderclap Hall, Pushen Hall, the Demonic Sect's Nine Nether Mansion, the Tang Sect, and numerous nearby gangs and Jianghu Experts were all searching outside. He could only follow this Senior.
"Six hundred li from here, there is a place with Earth Core Spiritual Milk. If you can absorb that Earth Core Spiritual Milk and use it for Bone Forging, you can absolutely forge more than half the bones in your body into Golden Bone!"
Tiger Wanderer smiled faintly.
Qin Shuang nodded. Tiger Wanderer waved a hand, and a powerful force swept Qin Shuang along, instantly speeding toward the depths of the Xuan Yin Mountain Range.
At this moment.
Yu Shiqie stood atop a moss-covered mountain rock, staring silently at the ravine they had just left.
As the Holy Maiden of Pudu Jing'an Nunnery, ever since she had Stepped into the Jianghu, everyone she met had treated her with the utmost respect and courtesy. Yet this time, she had actually been driven away by a mysterious tiger-masked man who gave her not the slightest bit of face!
This was simply refusing to place the Holy Land in his eyes!
"Fairy Yu, could you tell where that man came from?"
A trace of frustration flashed through Shen Feiyu's eyes.
As the direct disciple of Devil Master Ding Ao, the master of Liufang Pavilion, he possessed a fearsome reputation throughout the Jianghu. Yet he had actually been driven away by that man. If his master learned of it, he would likely beat him to death.
"I can't tell."
Yu Shiqie shook her head.
That man wore a tiger mask. Clearly, he did not wish anyone to know his true face.
"He can't protect him for a lifetime. He won't escape!"
"We can hold Qingzhou City, mobilize Jianghu Experts to search for him, and strike! Once we confirm the Tiger Mask Man isn't there, we'll kill him and cut off all future trouble!"
Shen Feiyu said in a deep voice.
"At present, this is the best method."
Yu Shiqie nodded.
Four hundred and eighty li from the mountain stream where Qin Shuang had washed his feet.
The mountains here were high and the forests dense, with giant trees piercing the heavens. Tiger Wanderer raced forward with Qin Shuang, seeming to tread upon empty air. Along the way, Qin Shuang saw one terrifying beast after another—the Golden Eagle Beast King, the Wild Boar Beast King, and the Fierce Tiger Beast King... Every one of these Beast Kings was comparable to the Divine Wheel Realm!
"Senior, are we there yet?"
Watching them venture ever deeper into the mountains, Qin Shuang's heart began to pound as he asked.
"Soon. It's just ahead. Hm?"
Tiger Wanderer answered, then suddenly looked into the distance. A trace of surprise appeared in his eyes as he said, "A Black-Tipped Black Python Beast King and a Fierce Tiger Beast King are actually fighting over the spiritual energy within that mountain crevice?"
As Tiger Wanderer spoke, his formidable cultivation swept up Qin Shuang, and they sped forward for more than ten li.
Ahead, it was as though an earthquake had struck. Tiger roars and hisses shook the heavens, rocks flew everywhere, and even the trees had been ground into dust!
Tiger Wanderer brought Qin Shuang closer, where they saw a gigantic tiger beneath a cliff—three zhang long, black-and-yellow striped, with hanging eyes and a white forehead—fighting a huge python thicker than a water barrel, entirely black and seven or eight zhang in length.
The snake and tiger were locked in an inseparable battle.
"A Dragon-Tiger Fight!"
Interest gleamed in Tiger Wanderer's eyes. He said to Qin Shuang, "The place I told you about lies beneath this cliff. There's spiritual milk inside. Originally, only a Black-Tipped Black Python Beast King was here, absorbing the spiritual energy released by the Earth Core Spiritual Milk. This Fierce Tiger Beast King likely came to contest it, and so they began fighting."
Qin Shuang looked carefully and discovered that four or five patches of scales had been torn from the Black-Tipped Black Python Beast King, while the Fierce Tiger Beast King's right leg limped awkwardly.
"After I kill them, you can go down and absorb the spiritual milk."
Tiger Wanderer's gaze flashed as he headed toward the snake and tiger.
"Senior, leave that tiger with one last breath for me. I'll deliver the finishing blow!"
When Qin Shuang saw Tiger Wanderer going to kill the tiger and snake, a thought immediately stirred in his heart.
His Tiger Roar Divine Intent Skill required him to kill a Fierce Tiger Beast King. If he ate a Fierce Tiger Beast King and refined its Tiger Pill or Divine Seed, it could reach completion. Ordinarily, at his current realm, he could not kill a Fierce Tiger Beast King.
But if Tiger Wanderer beat the Fierce Tiger Beast King until it had only one breath left, and he stepped in to finish it off, wouldn't his Tiger Roar Divine Intent Skill be able to reach completion?
