Chapter Fourteen: The Storm is Coming

  Let's make the collection even more intense!!

  Yan Dao was caught by someone and was greatly shocked. Before he could escape, a loud roar was heard.

  "Here comes someone, I've found him! I've finally found the real Master Yandao! Haha, now I'll get my reward! It's really true that 'no matter how hard you search, it's all in vain'! Ah, mom, why did you kick me?! Ah, hurry up and come here, don't let Master Yandao run away!"

  "This guy is really something, thinking he can just take me down and get a reward for it. Doesn't he know who I am? I've cultivated my skills to some extent, does he think he can treat me like an ordinary person?"

  But before he could kick his second foot, a large crowd rushed up, shouting and yelling, grabbing him with all their might, their faces red with rage, almost to the point of being ready to pounce on him, leaving Yandao shocked and frightened, exclaiming "This is terrible!"

  Unexpectedly, no one's fists and feet came flying over, instead, Qi Tian hurried over in a flurry and very politely invited him to the Qi residence.

  "What? You've invited the Demon-Subduing True Man to make a move?"

  Overjoyed beyond words, he couldn't help but want to jump up.

  "I've made up my mind to help with this matter, even if Hu Zhenren doesn't say anything, Lu Zhenren doesn't mention it, and Shou Zhenren is unwilling. I'll stick to it stubbornly, as the demonic eagle and demonic monkey are in cahoots, causing great harm. If we don't eliminate them, my heart won't be at peace!"

  He transformed himself into a great philanthropist who worries about the welfare of all living things!

  It's just Qifeng, who has learned a lesson from his past mistakes and no longer listens to nonsense. He remembers the teachings of his father and only gives a dry smile without saying anything!

  With the arrival of Da Hu Zi, Lu Yi Chen and the frail youth, Tian Shui City was like boiling water, completely seething.

  Everyone is talking about exorcising evil spirits and demons.

  Lu Yichen and other disciples of the Beast Tamer Sect were even more rumored to be incredibly powerful, almost comparable to an all-powerful "immortal", seemingly many times stronger than the outdated "old immortal" Yu Dao.

  The words made one of his eyes drop, but his ears became even more sensitive. He naturally heard the rumors and couldn't help but feel a wave of annoyance and secretly resent the ordinary people for not recognizing true heroes. But after thinking about it again, he was overjoyed. The Tamer Sect is after all a long-standing major sect, even if Lu Yichen's skills are lacking and can't subdue Qi Lei, there are still more powerful seniors above him. As the saying goes, "drive away the small ones and the big ones come", in short, once Qi Lei becomes enemies with them, he will surely die.

  The demonized Qi Lei made him uneasy and sleepless, wanting to get rid of him and then feel relieved.

  It can be proved that relying on one's own strength is no longer enough, and borrowing power is a better choice.

  And if he can take the opportunity to climb up the domesticated beast sect this big tree, he will be a famous and orthodox disciple, and for the future cultivation road, there is only advantage and no disadvantage.

  It's cool under the big tree!

  He suddenly became enlightened and immediately lowered his posture, personally rushing to the residence of Lu Yichen and others, meeting for a long time, and finally discussing a relatively perfect demon-hunting plan.

  "During these few days of preparation, we'll rest and recover, making sure our bodies are in top condition to deliver a fatal blow to the demonic eagle and the monkey king. What do you think, Lu Shi-di?"

  Although it was Lu Yichen's task, Big Beard had rich experience and the greatest skill in exorcising demons. He should be the main one, but he seemed rough, yet he was actually very meticulous and didn't act as if he was in charge. After giving an order, he hurriedly asked for Lu Yichen's advice.

  "Alright, let's follow Big Brother's plan and see how we brothers can exorcise demons and slay monsters!"

  Lu Yichen felt confident that his plan was foolproof, and with a surge of determination, he clenched his fist and swung it fiercely.

  The vast Tian Shan mountain range, giant trees are everywhere, the huge canopy covers the sky and blocks out the sun, the underbrush is lush and extraordinary, flowers and grasses are thriving, a scene of wild beauty.

  Suddenly, a series of footsteps came, and when the first person walked out, it was actually a lovely young girl.

  Her skin was as white as jade, her smile as bright as a flower. She wore a spider silk dress that was worth a fortune, perfectly accentuating her slender and delicate figure. Although she wasn't very old, her development was quite impressive, with curves in all the right places. She looked petite and delicate, yet gave off an aura of uniqueness, especially when she walked, naturally exuding an air of nobility that drew people in deeply.

  Such a wonderful person, even without the stunning beauty that can topple cities and states, all these qualities combined give people a unique feeling, not one bit inferior to those fully developed mature women, but rather more flavorful, more evoking feelings of tender loving care.

  However, as the saying goes, "you can't judge a person by their appearance" and "you can't measure the sea with a bucket", her nobility, delicacy, and weakness are just her external appearance. If you observe carefully, you will find that in her eyes, there is often a cunning glint, indicating that this woman is not the kind of gentle lady type, but has an unconventional temperament.

  There were two men beside her.

  On the left, a man with a folding fan in his hand, elegant and refined, with a faint smile on his handsome face, giving people a feeling of being caressed by a spring breeze, involuntarily producing a sense of closeness. Paired with a magnificent cyan brocade robe, he looks both noble and carefree.

  But at this time, in his smile, there was always a sense of helplessness, and the gaze towards the girl was both loving and helpless.

  Look at the one on the right, whose age is similar to that of the man on the left, but with a sword hanging from his waist, and two strange gems inlaid on the scabbard, emitting a faint glow, making the entire sword look extraordinary.

  Unlike the man on the left, this young man had a serious expression, not speaking or laughing carelessly, and subtly exuding an air of sharpness. Only when looking at the girl would his eyes reveal unhidden fervor and anticipation.

  Further back, there were over a dozen men, each one tall and sturdy, with thick arms, clearly not ordinary people.

  The last one to walk, however, was a strange combination. One had a big beard, another was a thin and weak young man, and the third was an old man with white hair. The old man looked elegant from behind, but when seen from the front, he was hideous. Not only was one of his eye sockets empty, but there were also several scars on his face, and a piece of his scalp was missing, leaving a bald spot without a single hair.

  "Hu Zhenren, we're going to hunt demons, bringing Cai Xiaojie along, won't that be too careless?"

  All the way, Yan Dao couldn't help but feel worried more than once, and he couldn't help but ask others. Others didn't know how formidable Qi Lei was, but he knew clearly that facing thousands of little monkeys, a few more people were useless, and it was better for them to just quietly do their thing.

  "Don't worry, Cai Xiaojie has a good background. Although she's young and not highly cultivated, she must have her own ways to protect herself. And Zheng Yuanguang, who is following her, may not be very capable, but he has a strong backing. In our sect, he's considered one of the top disciples, so he won't lack means to protect Miss Xiaojie either. Once we arrive at our destination, let's just stick to the original plan and not get involved in anything else!"

  The big bearded man looked at Lu Yichen and revealed a strange smile, saying so.

  Although he could see that he was insincere, since he had said so, he could only nod in agreement and remain silent.

  After all, he is not the protagonist of this trip!

  It's hard to say whether it was bad luck for Qilai or good luck for them.

  Just as everything was ready and they were about to set off, Miss Cai Xia suddenly arrived, causing Lu Yichen's eyes to turn green with anger. He delayed their departure for several days, surrounding Miss Cai Xia and telling her stories about his demon-slaying adventures, astonishing her greatly. When she heard that they were about to enter the ancient mountains of Tian Shan to subdue a demonic eagle, her heart was stirred, and she insisted on following them to see it through.

  Lu Yichen used to get rid of the subdued monsters, but like the Monkey King, he only opened up his spiritual wisdom, was a bit more cunning, and knew how to avoid danger. Compared to Qi Leiwan, it's not even close. As soon as he heard this, he naturally hesitated. Zheng Yuanguang, who had been watching coldly from the side, suddenly spoke up, saying that he wanted to accompany Cai Xiaojie to watch Lu Zhenren exorcise monsters and demons. His tone was strange and clearly carried a mocking intent.

  Lu Yichen, although an outer disciple, had a considerable reputation. With a few more years of training, he would likely enter the inner sect and be on par with Zheng Yuanguang. Upon hearing the mocking tone, Lu Yichen became enraged and immediately accepted the challenge.

  But soon he regretted it, from Zifeng's description, the target this time was not just a simple awakening of spiritual intelligence, but possibly a real spirit with strange and mysterious methods, by no means an ordinary goods, if Miss Caixia got into trouble, he would be in big trouble.

  Miss Cai Xia's identity is not ordinary, it's not someone like him who has no power or influence can compare!

  However, young people like to be brave and chivalrous, so even if he regrets it in his heart, he can't open his mouth to refuse.

  "Miss Cai Xia." Lu Yichen glanced at Zheng Yuanguang and said calmly: "The Tian Shan Mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles, with all regions shrouded in dense forests. The mountains are home to various ferocious beasts and poisonous creatures. Without an experienced hunter as a guide, one would easily get lost and never find their way out, let alone locate the whereabouts of the demonic eagle."

  "Oh!! Where is our hunter?" Miss Cai Xia's eyes lit up and she hastily asked.

  "Hmph, Lu Yichen, you don't have to pretend anymore. Hurry up and bring the person out. It's just the outer perimeter of the Tian Shan ancient vein, not even deep inside. Can it really hold us back?"

  Zheng Yuanguang curled his lip in a smile and stroked the hilt of his sword with great disdain.

  Lu Yichen glanced at him sideways, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, and said: "Zheng Yuanguang, although you are an inner disciple, but now you are only at the fourth level of Qi refining, not much stronger than the Jianghu masters in the secular world. There are some places that are not for you to enter casually, or you will lose your life. It will be too late to regret it then."

  "Huh!!......"

  Zheng Yuanguang's face changed slightly, and he understood the implication of Lu Yichens words. He was saying that his cultivation was low, and he could join the inner sect only because of his family background. However, Zheng Yuanguang seemed to be a tolerant person, and his eyes narrowed slightly without immediately retorting.

  Lu Yichen was overjoyed to see that he had finally gained the upper hand, and with a flick of his wrist, he opened his folding fan and gently waved it back and forth twice. "Actually, we didn't come here to find the Hunter's House," he said, "because among us, there is someone who knows the Tian Shan ancient veins even better than the Hunter's House does. Brother Yan Dao, why don't you tell Miss about the demonic eagles of the Tian Shan ancient veins and show everyone the way?"
