Two Years of Pursuit, Pushed to the Limit
I highly recommend "Lineage Cultivation: Starting with the Peacock Bloodline"! Get straight to the exciting parts.
Li! Li li...
The "Five-Colored Peacock" soars in the air, heads held high, singing sweetly, spreading its wings and displaying its plumage, scattering a vast expanse of illusory Five-Colored Illusory Light.
Below, on the ground, there was a group of bluish-gray Wind Wolf Demon Beast, who were now trapped in the "Peacock Spreads Its Tail" illusion.
Kong Wenxuan stood on the "Cuckoo Feather Boat" and summoned the Second Tier "Azure Wood Divine Sword". With a flick of his wrist, it transformed into more than a hundred azure sword lights, which slashed down and struck the gray-blue Wind Wolf Demon Beast trapped in the illusion.
Whether it was First Tier Wind Wolf Demon Beast or Second Tier Gray Wolf Demon Beast, they were all cut in half by these cyan sword lights, and blood was splattered all over the ground.
After the "Azure Wood Divine Sword" was upgraded to the Second Tier Spirit Artifact level, under the impetus of Kong Wenxuan's Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation, even each cyan sword light that Sword Light Differentiation already had considerable Second Tier attack power, capable of easily killing Second Tier Wind Wolf Demon Beast.
Then, streaks of azure sword light swept up the corpses of the dozens of Wind Wolf Demon Beast that had been cut in half, and Kong Wenxuan casually put them into a Storage Bag.
He didn't even pay much attention to the Wind Wolf Demon Beast, but focused more on the Third Tier black tiger demon Demon Beast that was still fleeing ahead, and immediately urged the "Cuckoo Feather Boat" to chase after it again.
Ever since Kong Wenxuan came up with the clumsy idea of using this Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast to find the Demon Race clan's stronghold, the two sides have been chasing and fleeing, causing chaos in the depths of the "South Lake Mountains".
At first, the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast was probably too frightened. It was being chased all the way by Kong Wenxuan's "Cuckoo Feather Boat" and only knew how to run around haphazardly without any pattern or stopping anywhere.
Later, perhaps exhausted from being chased by Kong Wenxuan in his "Cuckoo Feather Boat," or perhaps having gradually calmed down, this Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast, though it did not turn back to fight him, began to create various situations in an attempt to escape Kong Wenxuan's pursuit.
This time, the dozens of Wind Wolf Demon Beast that Kong Wenxuan easily killed were provoked by this Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast, who led him into a wolf den.
However, there were no Third Tier wolf demons in this wolf den; the strongest were only a few Second Tier Wind Wolf, all of whom were easy targets for Kong Wenxuan to kill and subdue.
He didn't even use the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation," nor did he use the more powerful "Crimson Fire Divine Sword" or "White Metal Divine Sword." He simply used the Sword Light Differentiation of a Second Tier "Azure Wood Divine Sword" to split the blades, along with the illusion technique "Peacock Spreads Its Tail," and easily killed these dozens of Wind Wolf Demon Beast. They didn't even hinder his pursuit. On the contrary, he gained another batch of Wind Wolf Demon Beast beast corpses and demon materials.
This was a pleasant surprise.
The chase lasted for several months. This vast area of "South Lake Mountains" was only tens of thousands of miles wide, and the man and the tiger had already covered nearly half of it.
Although the location of the Demon Race clan's stronghold has not yet been discovered, Kong Wenxuan has managed to compile a preliminary map of nearly half of the "South Lake Mountains" after months of pursuit.
They also marked out more than a dozen places on it where Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast would detour.
These places could be strongholds of the Demon Race race, or they could be areas inhabited by Third Tier or even Fourth Tier demon Demon Beast that even a third -Third Tier tier black tiger Demon Beast Demon Beast cannot defeat.
In short, Kong Wenxuan marked these places first. Even if it was later proven that these places were not strongholds of the Demon Race, at least he could figure out the danger of these places, which would be beneficial for the Kong Household's future explorations and expansion.
He wasn't made of iron after all; piloting the "Cuckoo Feather Boat" required consuming Law Power and Spiritual Consciousness. Moreover, he had to keep a close eye on the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast at all times, preventing it from hiding, escaping, or getting lost.
Therefore, after persisting for more than a month, Kong Wenxuan could no longer hold on and had to contact his clan to have a team of five "Peacock Dao Soldiers" sent to him.
While he rested and recovered his Law Power and Spiritual Consciousness, he had these "Peacock Dao Soldiers" take turns keeping an eye on the movements and direction of the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast.
Moreover, later on, Kong Wenxuan gradually relaxed his pursuit and driving away of the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast, and began to give it time to rest and recover periodically.
After all, he had already realized that trying to find the Demon Race race's stronghold by driving away this Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast would likely be a long-term project, taking a year or two, and possibly requiring him to travel all over the "South Lake Mountains".
Therefore, under these circumstances, he cannot push this Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast too far, lest it backfire.
Thus, after nearly two years of intermittent pursuit, Kong Wenxuan, aboard the "Cuckoo Feather Boat," had roughly traversed the entire "South Lake Mountains," covering tens of thousands of miles, in pursuit of the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast.
Various speculations and rumors have circulated about this, with some speculating that the Third Tier Third Tier tiger demon Demon Beast being chased was some special spirit Demon Beast, or that it possessed some precious spiritual item.
So one day, when Kong Wenxuan was chasing the Third Tier black tiger demon Demon Beast in his "Cuckoo Feather Boat," a Third Tier Purple Mansion cultivator suddenly appeared, trying to snatch the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast from him, and almost killed him by sneak attack.
Fortunately, Kong Wenxuan promptly summoned the "Bifang Jade Token," invoking the reputation of the Bifang Commandery, which scared off the opponent and prevented the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast from being killed directly.
However, despite the many unexpected events and difficulties, over the past two years, Kong Wenxuan has chased after the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast and has covered almost the entire "South Lake Mountains".
He had even drawn up a rough map of the "South Lake Mountains" area, marking dozens of places where the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast would detour.
Kong Wenxuan was already seventy or eighty percent certain that the Demon Race's stronghold should be located in the area where these dozens of black tiger Demon Beast had bypassed.
However, finding the true location of the Demon Race's stronghold among these dozens of places is not an easy task.
Therefore, Kong Wenxuan did not let go of this Third Tier black tiger demon Demon Beast. On the contrary, he pursued and pressured it even more fiercely. It was no longer a stop-and-go chase as before, but a continuous pursuit that did not give the beast any time to rest or recover.
With the help of five "Peacock Dao Soldiers," Kong Wenxuan was able to rest and recover from time to time, so he pursued them without hesitation.
He wanted to try this method of pushing things to the limit to see if he could force the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast back to the Demon Race clan's stronghold.
