Chapter 27: A Futile Trip (Please collect quietly!)

  He didn't mention Qizhilei's plan to lead the beasts to migrate, but instead said that Lao Gao was carrying Zheng Honglie with Cai Die and Lu Yichen, and they fled in disarray until they left the Tian Shan Mountains. Only then did he let out a long sigh, but thinking of his own identity, he was actually forced into such a sorry state by a little demon, and his heart suddenly ignited with great anger, so much so that he gritted his teeth in hatred.

  But the one with the deepest hatred among them was Zheng Honglie. He not only resented Qi Lei, but also had grievances towards his fellow seniors, including Old Gao, Cai Die and Lu Yichen. However, he had been struck by the Xuanbing Technique and although he was no longer a frozen popsicle, his face was still pale, his lips were purple, and his body would shudder from time to time, looking extremely pitiful.

  "No way, we can't let the demon eagle get away like this. Otherwise, let's restore our cultivation and make another attack!"

  It was Cai Die who spoke first, not because she couldn't forget about Zhi Lei, but because she had lost the beast-taming circle and was anxious. The beast-taming circle was a treasured secret of the Beast-Taming Sect, and even her grandfather, the sect master, cherished it dearly. If he found out that she had lost it, he would definitely be furious, and his doting on her would greatly decrease, which meant her status would plummet.

  "This"

  Lao Gao licked his lips, somewhat hesitant and undecided, and couldn't help but look at Zheng Honglie.

  Zheng Honglie hated to admit it, but he knew he was severely injured and wouldn't recover in just ten days or half a month. Rather than letting others see his miserable state, he'd rather return to the Beast Taming Sect to get reinforcements, which would also increase their chances of winning.

  "A nobleman avenges his enemies even after ten years; wait for me to return to the sect, and then I will summon reinforcements. I swear not to rest until the Tian Shan ancient vein is flattened."

  He scolded a few vicious words, didn't even look at the crowd, turned around and walked back and forth with a swagger.

  Lao Gao saw the situation and hastily followed, abandoning the colorful butterfly without a care.

  The two "soul characters" were also in this attitude, Lu Yichen and Yan Dao had no choice but to hastily persuade Cai Die a few words, and followed up.

  We came with confidence and passion, but returned in disarray. You supported me, I leaned on you, like defeated soldiers retreating in defeat, our morale completely gone, as despondent as can be.

  Of course, to save face, they have their own rhetoric, which is nothing more than how powerful Qi Lei is and how cunning the other four are. They joined forces and came up with some kind of conspiracy theory, but in the end, it all boils down to one thing: it's not that we're not good enough, it's just that the enemy is too strong.

  After their propaganda, this matter indeed caused a sensation, especially the four great demons actually united together, respecting the demon eagle as king, and simply wanted to establish a kingdom. This is not impossible in the depths of the Tian Shan Mountains, but the problem is that the Monkey Valley and other places are still on the periphery of the Tian Shan Mountains, and the demon eagle wants to invade human territory.

  It's simply an act of great injustice!

  If I don't eliminate them with a show of force, how can I demonstrate the prestige of our clan!

  Especially the Beast Tamer Sect, which had suffered a great loss, was not for anything else, but just to save face, and had to have a life-and-death struggle with Qi Lei.

  They soon got ready, each and every one of them rubbing their fists and wiping their palms, full of confidence. This time, if they still can't win, it would be enough to prove that the Beast Tamer Sect is not worthy of standing in the Cultivation World.

  This kind of thing is absolutely impossible!

  "You few trash come over here, lead the way in front, walk boldly and at ease, with us high-ranking cultivators present, what's there to be afraid of!"

  Lu Yichen and Yan Dao lowered their heads, trying to conceal the anger in their hearts, and honestly led the way forward.

  Although they didn't catch the demon eagle, they suffered heavy casualties and returned in defeat several times, but instead, they caught the attention of the higher-ups of the Beast Taming Sect. Especially after Cai Xia's persuasion, even the sect master had a certain impression of them, so entering the inner gate became a matter of course.

  But for the disciples in the sect who are above others, they are just lucky incompetent people, and it is a matter of course to suffer from some cold eyes, so the name "waste" is also often hung on their lips.

  "It doesn't feel right, like something's missing."

  Lu Yichen felt something was off as soon as he arrived at Monkey Valley. He looked around to the left and right, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

  "This jungle is so gloomy and quiet, can't even hear a bird chirping, nor see a single mouse!"

  The truth is revealed, but his cultivation is low and he can only feel it from these superficial things.

  His words suddenly reminded Lu Yichen.

  "Angry, what's lacking is the vital energy for all living things to grow. Have those demons already moved away?"

  It is said that one's hometown is hard to leave, and this applies even more so to humans. As for the demonic beasts, they have been living here for dozens or hundreds of generations, and even if they sense danger, it is not possible for them to simply move away, unless there is a leader and a plan in place for relocation.

  "Could it be that the demonic eagle's wisdom is so profound?"

  Lu Yichen thought to himself, his forehead involuntarily breaking out in cold sweat. As he looked at Yan Dao, his face was pale and his legs were trembling, almost fainting.

  Like a giant, stretching out powerful fists to strike at the enemy, only to find themselves hitting cotton, this feeling of having no place to vent their power makes one feel inexpressibly stifled. The news spread far and wide, becoming a laughing stock in the cultivation world, causing the originally majestic Beast Tamer Sect disciples to blush with shame whenever they saw other sect's cultivators, wanting to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

  "This can't just be dropped!"

  The master of the Beast Tamer Sect sat with a gloomy face, his anger indescribable.

  "Even if you move it away, I'll still find it and destroy it."

  He spoke viciously, but his mouth twitched involuntarily, revealing a sarcastic smile.

  "Since the Zheng family has suffered casualties, let them handle this matter. They must track down the demon eagle's trail and eradicate it completely!"

  Zi Lei never thought that because of his involvement, the Beast Tamer Clan would launch a massive search operation, which also triggered internal family conflicts within the clan. This would eventually affect him, but that's a story for later, and not to be mentioned for now.

  And so, Qi Lei led the four clans' people, opening roads through mountains and building bridges over waters, rushing eastward in a mighty torrent. The Tian Shan ancient mountain range was rich in natural resources, and they didn't lack food, but without their own territory, they were like wild grasses without roots, always making people feel uneasy at heart.

  Fortunately, at this time, he used Bai Mao and others to kill several thin men, establishing meritorious service. He rewarded them with a pellet of Lingdan each, allowing them to retreat and cultivate. Bai Mao and San Zhao successfully broke through the boundary wall, reaching the third heavy realm. Fei Que and Di Shu reached the second heavy peak in one leap, only an inch away from the third heavy. Overjoyed, they jumped up and down, firming their determination to follow Qi Lei.

  As the beasts were walking, a long cry came from the sky, and a large flying bird spread its wings to come. It was seen that her whole body feathers were blue, with only a red streak on her head, majestic and extraordinary. She was fast like a flash of lightning, and as soon as the sound reached the ground, the blue shadow followed and flashed out.

  "Your Majesty, there is a mountain ahead of us, shrouded in purple mist, blocking our path."

  "Purple Fog?"

  Zi Lei's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but feel startled. The color of the fog was truly too abnormal.

  "Could it be miasma or poisonous fog? Order them to stop advancing immediately and wait for me to take a look!"
