"Senior Ye."
A moment later, Chai Huanlu tremblingly took out a Tracking Compass -like Treasured Artifacts and presented it to the other party with both hands. "This is a unique Treasured Artifacts of my Barbaric Sect. As long as you drip a drop of blood from a strange Mutant Beast and then use your true energy to drive it, you can track down the exact location of that Mutant Beast!"
Ye Li took the Tracking Compass, looked at the dried-up array points on it, and asked calmly, "Where's the blood?"
"I used it up two days ago..."
Chai Huanlu's body trembled even more violently, and she quickly took out a map marked in crimson. "But the areas where the Mysterious Ink Golden Tiger is frequently active are marked on this map, which should be of help to you, senior!"
The truth...
Ye Li's dark eyes gleamed with a faint, divine light. After confirming that the other party's soul was not trembling, he put away the map and turned to leave.
"Your Mightiness!"
Just then, the hooded woman gritted her teeth and shouted, "I have the Treasured Blood of that Mysterious Ink Golden Tiger!"
Due to her nature, she had previously habitually left behind some of her Treasured Blood.
I never expected it would actually come in handy at this moment.
Upon hearing this...
The Boy in Black stopped and turned to look at him. "..."
There's hope!
A feeling of joy welled up inside the hooded woman.
Ignoring the astonished Chai Huanlu, she raised her hand, wiped it across the Treasured Artifacts, and took out two drops of crystal-clear, blackish-red blood, carefully tossing them towards her.
"..."
Ye Li dripped his blood onto the center of the Tracking Compass, and immediately a phantom tiger appeared, roaring to the sky.
The Tracking Compass needle began to spin, pointing to a certain spot in the mountains.
It was indeed the Treasured Blood of that Mysterious Ink Golden Tiger.
After a moment's hesitation, Ye Li casually said to her, "Follow me."
As he spoke, he turned around and walked deeper into the mountains.
According to the previous system broadcast, this hooded woman was the Hall Master of a second-rate Mountain Gate in the Western Region.
Since you have such insight...
It wouldn't be a problem for them to follow behind and eat some leftovers.
If someone wants to switch sides halfway through, it's considered an extra bonus of Malice Points.
"Thank you, senior!"
The hooded woman named Jiang Baishi excitedly stood up, enduring the excruciating pain, and quickly followed after him after him, swallowing a healing pill.
The two disappeared from the spot.
The several pairs of eyes that had been secretly watching this place all dispersed at once.
Only the three members of the Barbaric Sect remained, heartbroken and speechless.
Tongnan Mountain Range, southeastern region.
Two streaks of light flashed through the mountains and forests at an extremely fast speed.
He took in the direction the Tracking Compass was pointing.
Jiang Baishi cautiously sized up the handsome Boy in Black. Despite his youthful appearance, he was likely Martial Dao senior of considerable age.
She simply has the secret to maintaining her youthful appearance.
"Senior Ye Li"
Jiang Baishi tentatively spoke up. After hearing about the other party's cultivation level by the river, she was initially quite skeptical, thinking that if he were truly a senior in the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm, why would he need to come here to hunt a Mysterious Ink Golden Tiger?
But after facing the opponent's casual slap, such doubts naturally vanished.
The White Cloud Sect is currently in dire need of rebuilding, and even the resources for the Hegemony Realm require her, as the Hall Master, to personally negotiate for them. If she could make the acquaintance of such a powerful figure at this critical juncture, it would likely give the White Cloud Sect more influence in the local area.
But before that, there's one more thing that needs to be confirmed.
"That group from before belonged to the Barbaric Sect, which is a behemoth in the Western Region. If you don't eliminate them completely, their powerful members will pursue you later..."
Jiang Baishi asked cautiously, "What do you plan to do?"
If the other party truly has some powerful force behind them, then there's naturally no need to worry about befriending them.
However, if the other party is new to the Western Region and therefore unfamiliar with the local power structure, then I can take this opportunity to offer some advice and build a good relationship.
"Nothing can be done."
Ye Li looked at the Tracking Compass, his voice calm.
It was simply a matter of killing as many as came; there was no need to elaborate on it.
"I see..."
Jiang Baishi was unsure of the other person's meaning, so she could only smile in agreement.
Buzz!
Just then, the Tracking Compass in Ye Li's hand suddenly trembled slightly.
The pointer on it points straight ahead.
At the same time, a sudden gust of wind arose in the forest ahead, and a shocking stench of blood wafted over!
It's here!
Jiang Baishi's pupils trembled slightly. Just as he was about to warn her, he saw an ancient lightning seal, far surpassing the previous one, burst forth from beside him, suddenly roaring out!
"Roar!!"
A roar of terror suddenly rang out from the mountains ahead.
The next moment.
Boom!!
The dense forest collapsed under the enormous impact, and the thick earth was crushed into dust by the overflowing strong wind!
Ye Li's figure then vanished from the spot.
With each breath, an even stronger stench of blood emerged from the smoke and dust.
[Slayed the Mysterious Ink Golden Tiger, comparable to a mid-stage Mountain Sea Realm; Malice Points +!]
