Deep into the Magical Beast Mountain Range

"Such terrifying power!" Seeing Gungnir's appearance, Seven Baleful Intents and the others could not help swallowing hard, their hearts filled with shock.

However, Seven Baleful Intents and the others did not show the surprise in their hearts. After all, this was not the first time they had witnessed Xiao Ming use Gungnir.

After sensing the oppressive aura of Gungnir in Xiao Ming's hand, Ao Bapa and Yun Xi both revealed despairing expressions.

"Th-then what exactly is that thing?" Feeling Gungnir's pressure, Ao Bapa muttered in horror.

But they would never have another chance in this lifetime to learn anything about Gungnir.

"Be good people in your next lives." Xiao Ming spoke to the two of them indifferently, then viciously hurled Gungnir in his hand at Ao Bapa and Yun Xi.

Bang.

Under the force of Gungnir's explosion, their bodies instantly turned to ash, completely vanishing from the prison as though they had never existed.

Seeing two peak nine-star Grand Dou Masters get dealt with so easily, Seven Baleful Intents could not help drawing in a sharp breath.

After all, the two had been stronger than them in their eyes, yet they could not even last a single exchange in Xiao Ming's hands. It was simply unbelievable.

Still, it could only be said that Ao Bapa and Yun Xi had been too unlucky.

If they had not brought this upon themselves, how could they have been killed by Xiao Ming?

Seven Baleful Intents immediately looked at Xiao Ming respectfully and asked softly, "Young Master, what should we do now?"

"What else? Report what happened here. Say the two great families clashed in the prison and both sides suffered heavy losses. As for Ao Bapa and Jia Lie Bi, their whereabouts are unknown." Hearing Seven Baleful Intents' question, Xiao Ming slowly answered.

At those words, Seven Baleful Intents and the others immediately nodded in agreement.

After dealing with the matters in the prison, Xiao Ming continued focusing on relocating the Xiao Clan.

Once everything had been taken care of, Xiao Yan led a group of people into the main hall of the Black Demon Stockade.

Looking at the many Xiao Clan members standing in the center of the hall, Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes.

Although most of the Xiao Clan had already settled down in the Black Demon Stockade, Xiao Ming had still stationed many people outside to closely monitor the situation in Wu Tan City at all times.

Therefore, although Xiao Ming and the others had arrived at the Black Demon Stockade without making a sound, those secretly keeping watch over the Xiao Clan's movements had not noticed anything unusual.

Seeing that the Xiao Clan's actions had gone undiscovered, Xiao Ming knew it was time for him to act.

After calling Seven Baleful Intents over and giving him all his instructions, Xiao Ming set off from the Black Demon Stockade.

Before leaving, Xiao Yan had specifically left a spatial ring for the Xiao Clan, containing everything they needed.

Although Xiao Zhan and the others said nothing, this gesture deeply moved the Xiao Clan members.

After leaving the Black Demon Stockade, Xiao Ming rushed at top speed toward the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Although Xiao Ming had a terrifying, heaven-defying divine artifact like Gungnir at his side, his own cultivation was still only at the level of a nine-star Dou Practitioner.

The Misty Cloud Sect was filled with powerful experts. If the two sides truly came to blows, Xiao Ming's cultivation would not even be enough to fill the gaps in their teeth.

Yet aside from that, Xiao Ming possessed an advantage that ordinary cultivators did not.

He only needed to stabilize his foundation before directly purchasing cultivation from Ya Fei.

But before leaving the Black Demon Stockade, Xiao Ming had left all the wealth he had accumulated with the Xiao Clan and the Black Demon Stockade.

So now, if Xiao Ming wanted to stabilize his foundation, he needed to obtain a certain amount of cultivation resources.

Yet for Xiao Ming, who had not been here long, where to acquire a massive amount of cultivation resources was quite a headache.

Rather than deal with people, Xiao Ming preferred to choose the most direct method, just like Xiao Yan.

That was to venture deep into the Magical Beast Mountain Range, hunt magical beasts for their beast cores, and absorb them directly to stabilize his foundation.

With that in mind, Xiao Ming immediately took action and headed for the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

After arriving at the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Xiao Ming did not immediately venture deeper. Instead, he found a relatively quiet place and slowly released the divine sense within his body.

After reaching the level of a nine-star Dou Practitioner, Xiao Ming's divine sense had undergone a qualitative leap and far surpassed that of an ordinary Grand Dou Master.

Now, boosted by Gungnir, Xiao Ming could release his divine sense with all his strength over an area covering one-tenth of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

Very quickly, the intricate and sprawling Magical Beast Mountain Range was fully mapped out in Xiao Ming's mind.

Xiao Ming also specially marked the areas where he sensed powerful auras.

Those regions were not places Xiao Ming could set foot in for now.

After finishing all this, Xiao Ming entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range and began searching the depths of the mountain range according to the coordinates in his mind.

Not long afterward, Xiao Ming spotted a group of magical beasts foraging beside a massive hill.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming did not rush in right away. Instead, he locked his divine sense onto the powerful magical beasts atop the hill before activating his spiritual power.

In an instant, an incomparably vast spiritual fluctuation erupted, enveloping several hundred magical beasts around the hill whose strength rivaled that of early-stage Grand Dou Masters.

At once, those magical beasts felt an inexplicable fear.

Moreover, they felt as though an unknown force had bound them. No matter how they struggled, they could not break free.

Upon noticing this, Xiao Yan let out a slight sigh of relief.

"So the strongest among these magical beasts are only at the early Grand Dou Master level." Xiao Ming murmured.

In Xiao Ming's eyes, magical beasts of this level were perfect targets for him to test his hunting skills on.

As Xiao Yan's spiritual power continued pressing down, the magical beasts sensed the faint threat and could not help revealing frightened expressions.

Roar!

Just then, an enraged howl suddenly rang out from the hill.

Hearing that sound, a trace of delight appeared on Xiao Ming's face. It seemed his guess had been correct.
