While Lu Yuan and the people of the Yu Family were talking, Zhao Letian had already flipped his hand to produce the Ghost King Stele.

He could sense that the aura of this white-robed elder was even more powerful than the Mercenary Captain, and even comparable to the Wind Roar Beast.

This meant that this person was definitely a half-step King-level Expert, and not just an ordinary one, but one that could be considered on par with Master Yu.

A fierce battle was inevitably going to take place, so he naturally needed to make preparations in advance.

"Kid, don't say that I didn't give you a chance. Cripple your own cultivation now, return with me to the Yu Family to accept your punishment, and listen to the verdict of our ancestor. Maybe you'll be able to save your life like a dog. Otherwise, this cave will be your grave!"

The white-robed elder stared fixedly at Zhao Letian, indifferently speaking.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!..."

As his voice fell, the high-level Sect Martial Realm experts from the Yu Family behind him immediately dispersed, surrounding Zhao Letian in the middle.

Their powerful auras, like massive mountains, heavily oppressed Zhao Letian, rendering him unable to move even slightly.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan from behind the Yu Family people, heaved a sigh of relief.

It seems that Zhao Letian is not so formidable after all; just with their auras, the Yu Family people could suppress him. What waves could he still make?

At the same time, the people of the Yu Family also thought that they had easily suppressed Zhao Letian.

However, what they didn't know was that although Zhao Letian couldn't move, his mouth could still move. At this moment, he was preparing to bite his tongue, spray out Essence Blood, and summon three fierce ghosts to battle with the Yu Family people.

"Roar!"

Who knew that at this moment, a heaven-shaking roar suddenly came from outside the cave, and at the same time, an unmatched strong whirlwind, like endless Wind Blades, spiraled in from outside the cave.

"Wind Roar Beast? Could it be that the Lion Mercenary Group failed?"

Zhao Letian was startled, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.

This roar was not unfamiliar to him; it was indeed emitted by the Wind Roar Beast.

He had thought that the Lion Mercenary Group had already subdued this demon beast, but unexpectedly, this adult Wind Roar Beast had returned.

At the same time, the Yu Family people and Lu Yuan all showed expressions of terror. Need character sheets and glossaries? Visit *.

They could all sense that the rapidly approaching fierce wind contained a terrifying destructive energy, simply not something they could withstand.

"Hmph! Vile beast, with me here, how could I allow you to be reckless? Break!"

The white-robed elder's expression darkened, a solemn look in his eyes, he snorted coldly, flipped his hand to pull out a breathtaking Longsword, carrying a massive sword glow, and fiercely slashing towards the incoming endless Wind Blades.

"Boom!"

The next moment, the sword glow struck the Wind Blades, and a thunderous explosion of earth-shaking noise erupted, causing the entire cave to tremble violently, with chunks of rocks continuously falling down.

Fortunately, the trembling stopped after a moment.

"Swoosh!"

Just then, a rapid piercing sound was heard, and soon a huge blood-red figure rushed into the cave.

Zhao Letian concentrated his gaze and indeed, the newcomer was the Wind Roar Beast, resembling a tiger or leopard, with wings on its back.

At this moment, the Wind Roar Beast was flapping its wings, hovering in the air, looking at the empty pool with both shock and anger.

What it cared about most was not the slurry from the Eternal Tree, but the two cubs that had been soaked in the pool water.

The cubs of the Wind Roar Beast were hard to keep alive; they needed the slurry of the Eternal Tree to not only grow up healthy but possibly, with the potent life energy of the blood-colored slurry, to become mutant demon beasts like itself.

However, now not only had the cubs not fully mutated, but their physical conditioning hadn't even stabilized yet. If they were away from the blood-colored slurry for too long, they might well perish.

"A Wind Roar Beast? But why is its skin this color? Could it be a mutation caused by the Eternal Tree?"

The White-robed Elder, holding a longsword, gazed intently at the hovering Wind Roar Beast, appearing as if facing a formidable enemy and no longer paying any attention to Zhao Letian.

He recognized immediately that this Wind Roar Beast, like himself, possessed the formidable cultivation of a near-King-level.

Although he was no ordinary near-King-level, able to slay demon beasts of the same tier, this Wind Roar Beast was extraordinary. Its intense aura made him quite wary, and he would absolutely not engage in battle with this demon beast unless necessary.

Now, however, it was clear that he had entered the den of this demon beast, and even if he didn't want to fight, the demon beast would not let him go.

Meanwhile, although Lu Yuan and his companions were saved by the White-robed Elder and escaped a calamity, they were still terrified and looked at the Wind Roar Beast in the air with deep fear.

If not for the presence of the White-robed Elder, the Wind Roar Beast's recent roar could have killed them instantly.

Not only them, Zhao Letian was also on high alert, staring fixedly at the Wind Roar Beast, without hesitation, he bit the tip of his tongue and spit a mouthful of Essence Blood onto the Ghost King Stele in front of him.

Because he realized that after the Wind Roar Beast stared at the empty pool for a while, it locked its gaze tightly on him, its eyes revealing a cold murderous intent.

The sensory abilities of demon beasts are extremely sharp; this Wind Roar Beast clearly discovered that he had taken the blood-colored slurry from the pool, and the two cubs that were still asleep.

That is to say, this Wind Roar Beast would absolutely not let him go, without summoning those three fierce ghosts, the members of the Yu Family would not need to act—this Wind Roar Beast would kill him directly.

At the same time, the White-robed Elder and others also noticed that the hostility of the Wind Roar Beast was solely focused on Zhao Letian, so they couldn't help but feel relieved and a mocking sneer appeared on their faces.

Good, with the Wind Roar Beast making a move for them, they could save some effort.

"Woo!"

Just then, as the Ghost King Stele absorbed Zhao Letian's Essence Blood, a sudden gust of ghostly wind arose, emitting a thick dark green ghost fog, which enshrouded Zhao Letian.

Seeing this, everyone present, including the Wind Roar Beast, showed surprise and cautiousness in their eyes.

They had not expected that Zhao Letian, a mere practitioner of the True Martial Eighth Realm, would possess such a treasure.

Moreover, the eerie ghost energy in that ghost fog made them very wary.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Following that, three thunderous roars suddenly burst forth from within the ghost fog.

Moments later, as the ghost fog dissipated, Zhao Letian and the three fierce ghosts finally appeared.

"Sect Martial Ninth Realm peak? Such powerful ghosts!" The White-robed Elder stared fixedly at the three fierce ghosts, his eyes flashing with a tinge of wariness.
