Deep in the Broken Fang Mountain Range.
A party dressed in the Xu Clan's standard martial attire made its way through the forest, with the two at its head wearing different clothes.
One was a young woman, seated cross-legged on the back of a Variant White Tiger.
These two were Xu Mingshu and Xu Mingxuan.
The Xu Household had ever more first-class martial artists and Houtian Peak martial artists, and even outside the main lineage, two or three Xiantian martial artists had emerged.
Xu Mingshu wanted to capture young beasts to tame, which meant venturing deep into the mountains.
