The wind carried a stench of blood.
Amid the ruined wreckage, there was not a soul in sight.
Hu Cuihua stared blankly at everything before it.
It still could not accept that the young girl before it had truly fought a Chessmaster Realm cultivator and emerged completely unscathed.
Yet looking around again, everything before it was so real.
Formless Mountain had clearly possessed the air of an immortal abode, yet now it had become a basin... Could it be that the people of Formless Mountain would simply stand by and watch? Let someone wreak havoc in Formless Mountain like this?
Hu Cuihua swallowed, suddenly realizing a terrifying fact.
What this baleful star had said was true!
The Tiger Demon was named Hu Cuihua.
It was not that this hulking Tiger Demon had some peculiar fetish. It was purely because its mother had once gnawed on a passing down-and-out scholar by the roadside.
Before dying, the scholar had cried, "Cuihua has ruined me!"
Mother Tiger had not understood. Thinking Cuihua was some impressive title, she gave the name to her newly born cub.
Hu Cuihua's life as a demon could be called bitter and bizarre.
In a hellhole like Spirit Mountain, where demons ran rampant and the strong devoured the weak, lowly little demons who wanted to survive had to either be ruthless enough or good enough at licking boots.
Yet Hu Cuihua had been somewhat unorthodox since childhood.
It did not enjoy fighting and killing. Instead, it was particularly fond of the books found inside storage pouches left behind by human cultivators.
Others fought over heavenly treasures and pills; it fought over books.
Whether it was Eastern Region Travelogue, Unofficial History of the Dao Orthodoxy, An Introduction to Formation Arts, or even The Tale of Talented Scholars and Beauties, it
