CHAPTER 906: CHAPTER 906: A WORTHY OPPONENT

Shen Xing retracted his aura after repelling the three.

They were here to search for the Divine Artifact, so they tried not to offend these spirit beasts.

Otherwise, they would face endless trouble.

In the human world, ordinary cultivators dare not offend one of the Eight Heavenly Sects, the Flower Immortal Sect.

However, here, the name of the Flower Immortal Sect wasn’t so effective.

Shen Xing looked at the three with faces full of horror and said, "We don’t want to cause trouble, but we won’t fear it either."

A warning as well.

After a moment, the leading man said, "Even if you have an Emperor Realm master, we will not welcome you. Our tribe isn’t without Emperor Realm masters! We’ve delivered the message, decide for yourselves."

Saying this, the three disappeared into the forest.

With their Emperor Realm cultivation, they couldn’t possibly stop Shen Xing.

So, they wisely chose to leave.

"It seems we need to speed up our journey!"

Ling Chen said.

Even under the intimidation, those three remained tough.

They’re likely going back to find the stronger members of their tribe.

If they proceed too leisurely, they might actually be caught.

At that time, they might really come to blows.

"Indeed. We’ve been discreet, yet we’re still discovered."

Shen Xing said.

"Yeah, spirit beasts are different from humans. They have a strict hierarchy, where the weak completely obey the strong. Unlike humans, who are scattered and divided."

Ling Chen sighed.

Shen Xing said, "Don’t underestimate it; some spirit beasts are quite like humans. Don’t the Nine-tailed Immortal Fox and Howling Moon Sky Wolf clans revere humans?"

"Now that you mention it, that’s true. It seems those two clans don’t have a great reputation in the Spiritual Beast World!"

Ling Chen said.

"What’s reputation?"

Shen Xing said, "These two clans are among the strongest in the spirit beast community. Other spirit beasts really wouldn’t dare to say much."

"Alright, we better set off quickly!"

Ling Chen turned and said, "Xiao Qing, Xiao Wu, bear with us and enter my inner world!"

"Okay."

Xiao Qing and Ling Wu understood the urgency of the situation and agreed promptly, entering Ling Chen’s inner world.

After that, Ling Chen and Shen Xing became two streaks of light, shooting rapidly towards the forest.

Both were three-star emperors.

They controlled Heaven and Earth Power, their speed was unbelievably fast.

...

In the core area of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Within a valley.

Here lay majestic tiger spirit beasts.

But these tigers were somewhat peculiar.

They were sometimes covered with white Ice Frost, other times with red flames rising, truly unusual.

This was the territory of the Mystic Frost Sky Fire Tiger clan.

The Mystic Frost Sky Fire Tiger was also an immortal beast.

In the Ten Thousand Mountains, they were considered a very powerful group.

At this moment, in the distance, three Mystic Frost Sky Fire Tigers, each thirty feet long, came rushing from outside the valley.

"Heh heh, Bai Li, did you drive those human kids away?"

A voice filled with laughter rang out.

The speaker was a young man in a green robe.

He was also a Mystic Frost Sky Fire Tiger, his cultivation level matched with that which the speaker referred to as Huo Li.

Landing in the valley, the three Mystic Frost Sky Fire Tigers transformed into human shapes.

If Ling Chen and his group were here, they would recognize them as the three who intercepted them.

The leading man in a red and white robe was Bai Li.

Huo Li glared at the green-robed youth and said, "No. This matter is quite tricky. The opponents have an Emperor Realm master."

"An Emperor Realm master?"

The green-robed youth’s face was full of shock.

They had heard four people arrived from outside.

All looked youthful.

They thought, at most, they were emperors.

Unexpectedly, there was indeed an Emperor Realm master among them.

And at this time, Bai Li headed towards the mansion in the center of the valley.

Entering a side hall.

"Elder, I’m afraid you need to go. Among those four, there’s an Emperor Realm master."

Bai Li bowed and said.

The Elder waved his hand casually, Spiritual Energy surged, forming four figures.

They were Ling Chen and his group.

"This one is the Emperor, the others are unclear."

Bai Li pointed at Shen Xing.

"Such a young Emperor Realm master?"

The Elder was surprised.

It seems these people have an extraordinary background!

"I’ll go..."

The Elder hesitated.

He sent a message to notify a few others.

Soon, two silhouettes arrived.

A man and a woman.

"Follow me, let me show you the human prodigies!"

The Elder spoke.

He certainly needed to show up.

But there was no need for him to act personally.

It seemed these two should be enough to handle them.

The man was named Bai Guang, the woman called Bai Wu.

Both were geniuses of the Mystic Frost Sky Fire Tiger clan.

Both were Emperor Realm masters.

"Elder Wufeng, are there really human prodigies?"

Bai Guang’s eyes lit up.

The Elder was named Bai Wufeng.

However, generally clan members did not dare call him that.

Only geniuses were allowed.

Elder Bai Wufeng said, "Yes, haven’t you been clamoring to duel human prodigies? Now, you have the opportunity."

"Let’s go!"

Bai Guang hastily pulled Bai Wufeng towards the hall exit.

Bai Wufeng, Bai Guang, Bai Wu, and Bai Li headed outside the valley.

"Hmph! Those human kids sure ran fast!"

Elder Bai Wufeng said.

Here, it was their spirit beast territory.

Spirit beasts had a strong sense of locus awareness.

Once any other spirit beast infiltrated, they would immediately sense it.

Ling Chen and Shen Xing, being human, stood out like the bright moon in the Spiritual Beast World.

Bai Wufeng only needed to ask some spirit beasts and could easily learn Ling Chen and his group’s whereabouts.

Soon, he caught up to Ling Chen and Shen Xing.

However, he didn’t make himself known.

Instead, he tracked them for several days.

Seeing their direction, it seemed they were heading towards the forbidden burial area, Burial Immortal Valley.

Burial Immortal Valley was considered a forbidden zone in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

It was regarded as a forbidden area for spirit beasts.

Any spirit beast that entered would not be able to come out alive.

Not even immortal beasts could do it.

Over time, many immortal beasts nearing the end of their lifespan entered seeking opportunity.

Hence, it was named Burial Immortal Valley.

It was truly a burial place for immortal beasts.

Night fell.

"Bai Guang, Bai Wu, you will meet your match. These two, one is late three-star, the other early three-star."

Bai Wufeng said solemnly.

He did not expect Ling Chen and Shen Xing to be this formidable.

So young, yet they’ve reached three-star level!

Bai Guang and Bai Wu: Bai Guang was late three-star, Bai Wu was mid-three-star.

It was a suitable matching.

"Just right for an all-out battle."

Bai Guang emanating an intent of battle readiness.

Although Bai Wu was calm, her eyes also glimmered with eagerness.

"Alright, let’s go over!"

Bai Wufeng swiftly closed in on Shen Xing and the others.

At this time, Ling Chen had released Xiao Qing and Xiao Wu.

At night, spirit beasts were active.

It was inconvenient for traveling.

Besides, several days had passed.

Since those three had been intimidated, no one else had followed.

Presumably, they had gotten away.

The four drank some wine, and were about to cultivate.

Of course, Ling Chen, Shen Xing, and Xiao Qing took turns being the protector.

After all, this place was fraught with dangers, vigilance was crucial.

At this moment, a silhouette swept in from afar.

"Human kids, you shouldn’t proceed further!"

Bai Wufeng revealed himself.

Shen Xing’s group faced him as if he were their mortal enemy.

They hadn’t detected him; evidently, his cultivation was far superior to theirs.
