Facing the Rolling Earth Dragon charging in a rage, the Fury Arrow Crossbows atop the Giant Haze opened fire at full capacity, launching countless massive bolts at the beast.

"Watch out—"

Nangong Renshe struck, sweeping away a large number of the heavy arrows.

The Rolling Earth Dragon, already provoked, grew even more furious at this moment, abandoning Liu Chengfeng to charge toward the Giant Haze.

"Rebellious beast—"

Young Master Ye, atop the Giant Haze, was also incensed and let out a thunderous roar.

He formed a seal and struck down, manifesting the phantoms of a Flame Ox and a Flame Pig, which crashed down toward the Rolling Earth Dragon.

A treasure beast with four thousand years of cultivation, it was a creature so powerful that even Nangong Renshe and his group found it difficult to slay.

The arrival of the Corpse Jackal and the Rolling Earth Dragon threw the scene into chaos; screams rang out incessantly, and many disciples of the Ascending Wu Clan perished.

Liu Chengfeng cared nothing for this; he turned and went straight for Zhao Jinnian, intent on killing him.

"Retreat—"

Ascending Wu Rong could no longer hold his ground; facing the Corpse Jackal, he fought while retreating, fleeing toward the flying ship.

As Liu Chengfeng gave chase, the Second Elder had already grabbed Zhao Jinnian and rushed onto the flying ship, and they turned to flee.

"A miscalculation; I should have destroyed the flying ship first."

Seeing the Ascending Wu Clan escape with Zhao Jinnian, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but curse.

He turned around and heard a roar; with the Ascending Wu Clan gone, the Corpse Jackal was now coming for him.

"Be careful—"

Nangong Renshe immediately drew his bow, and a golden arrow, swift as thunder, shot toward the Corpse Jackal.

At the same time, amidst a rolling gale and a deafening roar, a massive wild boar descended from the sky—Ah Yuan had arrived.

"If you had been any slower, my life would have been forfeit."

Liu Chengfeng shot a glare at Ah Yuan before immediately backing away, leaving the battlefield to him.

With a roar, Ah Yuan moved like a mountain, his claws sharp as swords, pouncing upon the Corpse Jackal.

"Kill—"

Seeing the opportunity, Nangong Renshe unleashed a rain of golden arrows, firing wildly at the Corpse Jackal.

The Corpse Jackal roared, its maw dripping with corpse poison as it bit toward Ah Yuan.

The two clashed, sending sand and stone flying, crushing trees and shattering boulders.

It had taken the combined strength of the Corpse Jackal, the Flame Ox, and the Rolling Earth Dragon to defeat Ah Yuan previously.

Now, facing him alone while under fire from Nangong Renshe, how could it possibly hold its own?

In a short span of time, it was struck by dozens of arrows, blood pouring like a fountain, and Ah Yuan's fangs pierced deep into its body.

With a miserable shriek, the Corpse Jackal had its head bitten off by Ah Yuan.

Having slain the Corpse Jackal, Ah Yuan immediately pounced toward the Rolling Earth Dragon.

The Rolling Earth Dragon had been locked in battle with the Grandmaster Mansion, which had suffered heavy losses and the deaths of many experts before finally managing to hold back the beast's assault.

This served to show just how formidable the strength of the Grandmaster Mansion truly was.

With Ah Yuan joining the fray, the tide of battle turned; in a few swift movements, Ah Yuan tore the Rolling Earth Dragon's tough carapace to shreds, leaving it drenched in blood.

The Rolling Earth Dragon turned to flee, not daring to fight further, but Nangong Renshe fired a barrage of thunder arrows, blocking its path.

The Rolling Earth Dragon was both terrified and enraged, wanting to lunge at Nangong Renshe.

Ah Yuan pounced, and the two rolled across the ground, locked in a struggle that snapped one towering tree after another.

Finally, with a final shriek, the Rolling Earth Dragon also had its head crushed by Ah Yuan.

With all three treasure beasts slain in one go, Ah Yuan had finally avenged his grudge.

"Sect Master Nangong—"

The Grandmaster Mansion had sounded the retreat and was organizing its ranks.

They had lost many experts to the Rolling Earth Dragon and, feeling furious, they moved to hold the Cloud Rising Sect accountable.

"If I want to kill a wicked servant, not even the gods can stop me, let alone the likes of you."

Facing the Grandmaster Mansion's demand for an explanation, Liu Chengfeng sneered.

The members of the Grandmaster Mansion were incensed.

At this moment, Ah Yuan stood by Liu Chengfeng's side, baring his fangs, his bestial aura surging like a tide.

"Young Master Ye, I fear this matter has nothing to do with the Grandmaster Mansion."

Nangong Renshe stood by Liu Chengfeng's side without a moment's hesitation.

This left the Grandmaster Mansion in a difficult position; they were being ridden over by a junior, and how could they not be furious?

Now, with a treasure beast of over four thousand years of cultivation by Liu Chengfeng's side, coupled with the Cloud Rising Sect, the advantage lay firmly with Liu Chengfeng.

The two sides were locked in a stalemate, neither willing to yield.

Suddenly, waves of beastly aura rolled forth, and a series of roars from exotic beasts echoed throughout Little Meng Mountain.

Immediately following, hundreds and thousands of exotic beasts appeared upon the mountain peaks.

There were treasure beasts with three or four thousand years of cultivation manifesting; some were giant eagles soaring in the sky, others were venomous pythons coiled around the peaks, and there were even ferocious monkeys as tall as walls...

With so many powerful exotic beasts suddenly erupting from Little Meng Mountain, both the Cloud Rising Sect and the Grandmaster Mansion saw their expressions change drastically.

If so many beasts charged at them, they would all be trapped within a beast tide.

"Retreat—"

The Grandmaster Mansion could no longer concern themselves with settling scores with Liu Chengfeng; their giant warship engaged its engines and immediately withdrew.

Although the Grandmaster Mansion was powerful and their warship possessed fierce firepower, they could not withstand a beast tide of this magnitude.

"We are retreating as well."

Nangong Renshe led the experts of the Cloud Rising Sect in a retreat, and Liu Chengfeng, riding Ah Yuan, also immediately dashed out of the beast tide.

With so many exotic beasts suddenly appearing, covering the mountains and plains, Liu Chengfeng knew that something was terribly wrong.

Once they had withdrawn to a safe location, they could not help but heave a sigh of relief; had they been even a step slower, they might have been surrounded and attacked by the beast tide.

"How do you wish to divide these?"

Once they were safe, Nangong Renshe took out the three portions of true blood.

They had killed the Corpse Jackal, the Rolling Earth Dragon, and the Flame Ox, obtaining three portions of true blood from exotic beasts with nearly four thousand years of longevity.

Looking at these three portions of true blood, it wasn't just the other experts—even the three elders felt their hearts stir.

As elders of the Cloud Rising Sect, even they did not possess such powerful true blood.

If based on merit, Liu Chengfeng and Nangong Renshe naturally held the greatest claim.

Although the exotic beasts were not killed by Liu Chengfeng, it was Ah Yuan who had struck the decisive blows.

As the sect master, Nangong Renshe already possessed true blood from a six-thousand-year treasure beast, so he did not need these.

"The Flame Ox true blood should go to the Fourth Elder, and the Corpse Jackal's can be split between the two other elders."

Liu Chengfeng took the true blood of the Rolling Earth Dragon and handed the remaining two portions to Nangong Renshe.

"Good, good, good. I accept this favor from my nephew; from now on, your affairs are my affairs."

The Fourth Elder was overjoyed and felt deeply grateful.

The Fourth Elder had come specifically for the Flame Ox's true blood, but in terms of merit, he could not have claimed it alone.

If not for Liu Chengfeng suppressing the Flame Ox, they would never have been able to kill it.

In the end, Nangong Renshe made the decision to distribute the Corpse Jackal's true blood to the Fifth Elder, with the Fifth Elder providing compensation to the other elder.

In this way, everyone was happy.

The three elders felt their favor toward Liu Chengfeng increase significantly; they were deeply grateful and grew fond of this newly joined guest elder.

True blood from a four-thousand-year treasure beast was worth tens of millions of spirit stones.

For Liu Chengfeng to take only one portion and distribute the other two to them—this favor was substantial enough.

Just as they finished dividing the true blood, "boom, boom" sounds erupted, the earth began to shake, and everyone was startled.

"It is coming—"

Within his mind, Little Meng Mountain spoke this single sentence to Liu Chengfeng.

"What is coming?"

Little Meng Mountain did not answer Liu Chengfeng.

At this very moment, Little Meng Mountain began to radiate layers of divine light, and green energy surged into the sky.

Immediately following, a medicinal fragrance permeated the air; upon smelling it, one felt refreshed and invigorated.

"Has a Medicine King appeared?"

Smelling this fragrance, the Fourth Elder and the others could not help but cry out.

"I fear it is not that simple. Perhaps some God Treasury has appeared. This beast riot must have a reason; Little Meng Mountain hides secrets."

Nangong Renshe had been in Little Meng Mountain longer than the others, and although he could not see the clues, he always felt that this place was not simple.

Is the God Tomb about to open?

Liu Chengfeng secretly calculated the time; it was the night of the full moon.

The time for his ritual had arrived.

The divine light appearing in Little Meng Mountain and the permeating medicinal fragrance shocked the god-cultivators who had entered the mountain to hunt exotic beasts, all of whom believed that a God Treasury had emerged.

Before the god-cultivators could find any God Treasury, more exotic beasts erupted from Little Meng Mountain, triggering a terrifying beast tide.

Not only were thousand-year treasure beasts appearing, but treasure beasts with three to five thousand years of longevity were also manifesting one after another.

Thousands of exotic beasts appeared in Little Meng Mountain, trampling the earth and crushing trees; the beast tide was astonishing.

The roar of beasts echoed incessantly throughout Little Meng Mountain, the rumbling never ceased, and the ground trembled.

"Let's go, withdraw from Little Meng Mountain."

Seeing that the situation was dire, Nangong Renshe immediately led the Cloud Rising Sect to retreat.

The treasures of the God Treasury were tempting, but staying alive was more important.

Facing a tide of thousands of beasts, they were no match at all; they would be crushed into pulp by the stampede in a matter of moments.

"You all go first, I'm going to take a look."

Liu Chengfeng refused to leave; the night of the full moon had arrived, and he had to pay respects at the God Tomb.

"It's too dangerous—"

Neither Nangong Renshe nor the Fourth Elder and the others wanted to let Liu Chengfeng take such a risk.

"I'm going too."

Ah Yuan followed Liu Chengfeng.

"A formidable giant beast has arrived, summoning all the exotic beasts. I don't know what is happening."

Ah Yuan explained to Liu Chengfeng.

Liu Chengfeng jumped onto Ah Yuan's back and rode him as they charged into Little Meng Mountain.

"This kid, bold and fierce, he has a future."

The Fourth Elder and the others exclaimed in admiration before following Nangong Renshe to retreat.

As Liu Chengfeng rode Ah Yuan into Little Meng Mountain, he discovered that the beast tide was surging in a single direction.

Countless exotic beasts swept past them, some hundreds of years old, others thousands.

The entirety of Little Meng Mountain had been reduced to a world of beasts, the wild aura of the creatures surging like a tidal wave.

At this moment, the exotic beasts were not fighting among themselves; they had all been summoned, surging into Little Meng Mountain like pilgrims.

Even with Liu Chengfeng riding on Ah Yuan, no exotic beast paid them any mind.

Little Meng Mountain had been occupied by the beasts, and the appearance of such powerful creatures terrified many God Cultivators who hunted them, causing them to flee the mountain.

However, even more powerful God Cultivators appeared—beings capable of flying through the sky and escaping into the earth.

Some arrived by stepping on the air, some arrived on flying swords, and others on flying boats...

On the way, Liu Chengfeng saw a stunning young girl arriving on a seven-colored flying sword, and he also saw a youth with flaming golden wings on his back charging into Little Meng Mountain...

Divine light appeared in Little Meng Mountain, and the fragrance of medicine permeated the air; all the God Cultivators guessed that a God Treasury had emerged.

It enticed big shots from all sides to covet the treasures and come to seize them.

"What kind of giant beast is summoning you all?"

Liu Chengfeng also sensed the appearance of even more powerful exotic beasts, their aura capable of shrouding the entire Little Meng Mountain.

Without needing to use the Sky Eye, he knew it was this powerful giant beast that was summoning all the others.

A guy that could swallow me in one bite and bring disaster to an entire nation.

Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart; it seemed they were truly heading for the God Tomb.

Liu Chengfeng was not there to snatch any Medicine King; his goal was the God Tomb.

When Liu Chengfeng arrived at the location of the God Tomb riding Ah Yuan, the place was already packed with exotic beasts.

Roars were incessant, and fierce battles shook the valley.

On the ground, many corpses already lay, some of exotic beasts, others of God Cultivators, and the smell of blood filled the air.

The valley exhaled waves of divine light, and the intense, rich fragrance of medicine was emanating from there.

In the valley stood a Medicine King, only the size of a palm, with a stem like a silkworm, spitting out divine light and resonating with the sound of a dragon's chant.

A chaotic battle had already broken out in the valley; some exotic beasts wanted to consume the Medicine King, while powerful God Cultivators also sought to seize it.

Both sides fought for their lives, the light of weapons soaring into the sky, and the sounds of slaughter echoing through the mountains.

Whether they were exotic beasts or powerful God Cultivators, many met a miserable death in the valley.

Among them, the stunning girl on the seven-colored flying sword and the youth with flaming golden wings were the most powerful; they slaughtered one exotic beast after another, and the other God Cultivators were no match for them either.
