Hundred Beasts Sect and Li Family Take Action, Encountering a Group at the Ruined Temple

Dozens of miles away, majestic peaks stood tall.

The Hundred Beasts Sect occupied this place, making it the location of their mountain gate!

Deep within the sect's core!

A colossal beast seemed to sense something and awoke from its slumber!

A pair of beastly eyes, like giant lanterns, lit up in the dark night!

Crimson like blood, ferocious and violent!

The next moment!

A beastly roar echoed through the heavens, shaking the entire mountain gate!

The high-ranking officials and disciples of the Hundred Beasts Sect were all startled awake!

"It's the voice of Lord Winged Tiger!"

"What happened?"

"Judging by the sound, could it be that His Excellency is enraged..."

The Sect Master of the Hundred Beasts Sect, along with several Elders, quickly rushed over.

The Winged Tiger, an ancient, exotic species!

It possessed a trace of the ancient Qiongqi's bloodline flowing through its body, making it the Hundred Beasts Sect's treasured beast!

Without a doubt.

Its strength was comparable to a martial artist in the Opening Treasury Realm, making it one of their sect's strongest foundations.

Not long after!

A Sect Master's Order was issued, spreading throughout the entire sect and causing a huge stir!

The entire sect, from Elders to disciples, was mobilized!

There was only one objective--

To find the Winged Tiger's offspring!

The Winged Tiger had offspring, and it was its only son!

It was said that its exotic bloodline was even stronger!

Once it grew up, its strength would be unimaginable!

This was not much of a secret within the sect.

Now, the order they received was to find the Winged Tiger's only son!

Could something have happened to it?

This area of twenty miles was entirely the territory of the Hundred Beasts Sect.

Who dared to act so presumptuously here?

Did they have the guts of a bear and the heart of a leopard?

Coincidentally!

In Rock Mountain City, within the inner city, the Li Family's main hall!

The lights were bright, and shadows flickered!

"Are you sure?"

"That kid is really that strong?"

"Even the Liu Family Head, who is at the sixth level of Blood Qi, was no match for him?"

"And ultimately died by his hand?"

"Yes, Sixth Elder!

I saw it with my own eyes. That kid was ridiculously strong!

If I hadn't been quick-witted, I would have been finished too!"

If Jiang Yi were here!

He would definitely recognize the steward Li who replied as the man who had previously slipped away without a trace!

"Ridiculously strong?

Is it that exaggerated?

Could it be that the kid you're talking about is a martial arts prodigy?

Why don't I go and meet him myself?"

At this moment, a young man in golden robes and a jade crown appeared outside and walked in leisurely!

His expression was arrogant, and his brows were filled with pride!

The way he looked, as if he didn't care about anything in the world.

"We greet the Young Master!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, everyone present stood up and bowed!

The young man in golden clothes was named Li Guan!

The Young Master of the Li Family!

Within Rock Mountain City, he was one of the top martial path prodigies!

His cultivation level!

Had already reached the seventh level of the Blood Qi Realm!

His strength was extraordinary; he had defeated a veteran of the Li Family who was at the eighth level of the Blood Qi Realm!

Even against someone at the ninth level of the Blood Qi Realm, he couldn't be taken down within a hundred exchanges!

"How can that brat compare to you, Young Master!"

Steward Li bowed, a fawning smile on his face.

"In front of you, he's nothing. He's merely a firefly's light, how can it contend with the sun and moon! Why would you need to make a move? Wouldn't that be a waste of your precious cultivation time?"

Li Guan heard this and waved his hand:

"It's fine!"

"Consider it a warm-up. If you find him, tell me and bring me there! I'll be the one to kill him!"

"This..."

Steward Li showed hesitation. His gaze flickered to the Sixth Elder standing beside him.

The Sixth Elder of the Li Family stroked his long beard and slowly nodded, saying, "Then we'll do as the Young Master wishes. You arrange it quickly and find that brat!"

"Yes, Sixth Elder, I'll do it right away!"

Steward Li bowed and scraped, smiling obsequiously, and quickly obeyed.

"Young Master, you're going to personally make a move? That's his greatest honor!"

Night fell, the moonlight flowed like water!

On the main road, a group of figures appeared, about eight or nine in total.

They seemed to be coming from afar, heading towards Rock Mountain City.

"Brother Qi, look!"

"There's a dilapidated temple over there!"

"Why don't we rest there for the night and head to Rock Mountain City tomorrow morning?"

The white-clothed figure at the head of the group heard this and stopped.

He looked in the direction the speaker was pointing!

Through the broken walls and crumbling eaves!

One could see!

A fire burning inside the temple, flickering uncertainly, light and shadow alternating!

A figure appeared and disappeared!

And a faint aroma of roasted meat wafted over.

"There's someone inside!"

The white-clothed figure spoke, as if sensing something, and then exclaimed in surprise!

"Hmm?"

"The scent of an exotic beast's blood!"

Could it be that the person inside had killed an exotic beast?

It seems their strength is quite extraordinary!

A hint of curiosity arose in the white-clothed figure's heart!

He looked around!

The faces of his companions showed varying degrees of fatigue.

These past few days!

They barely rested, traveling day and night, crossing thousands of miles!

They were quite travel-worn!

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and agreed:

"...Alright, let's go!"

When the group reached the outside of the dilapidated temple, they saw the enormous beast carcass discarded nearby.

Everyone showed surprised expressions!

"Is this... a Black Tiger?"

"No, that's not right!"

"It even has wings, this must be a variant!"

"The residual aura of its death still reveals a strong ferocity!"

"The strength of this variant in life was probably quite formidable!"

Subconsciously!

Some people's gazes turned towards the tall figure inside.

The answer was self-evident!

The figure in white entered the dilapidated temple first, looking at the young man sitting by the campfire.

He cupped his fist in a salute!

"My surname is Qi, given name Zhengyi!

We are preparing to head to Rock Mountain City and passed through this area, seeing that there happened to be a dilapidated temple here!

We've been traveling for many days and thought we'd come in to rest for the night!

If we have disturbed you, little brother!

I apologize on behalf of us all!"

Jiang Yi was initially quite excited, thinking these people were here for him!

Enemies delivered to his doorstep!

Watching heads sway before him, the depths of his eyes sparkled!

But when the words of the one named Qi Zhengyi came out!

He knew he had been deluded!

He had thought wrongly!

So they weren't enemies!

What a...

Pity!

Jiang Yi extinguished the thought in his heart!

If others don't offend me, I won't offend them!

He admitted he wasn't a good person, but he wasn't a devil who slaughters the innocent and destroys lives.

He still had his bottom line!

Moreover!

The man in white before him seemed rather extraordinary!

Even though he didn't reveal any trace of martial path aura!

But with his keen senses, a hint of solemnity arose in his heart.

"It's fine, please do as you wish!"

Jiang Yi shook his head!

This dilapidated temple wasn't his, and he was only resting here temporarily.

They could do whatever they wanted, as long as it didn't affect him.
