CHAPTER 1622: CHAPTER 1622: TAIXUAN SECT

During Fang Bai’s secluded alchemy and artifact refining session, Wu De, Wind Roc, and Lightning Mink had nothing to do. Under the guidance of the Hu Wei and Hu Zhuang brothers, they explored the Tiger Clan Territory, sampling various delicious Spirit Beast meats and drinking a lot of wine brewed from Thousand-Year Spirit Fruits, feeling quite reluctant to leave.

Wu De enjoyed being in lively company, and with Wind Roc, Lightning Mink, and the Hu brothers from the Beast Clan being so straightforward, they quickly became fast friends over several drinking sessions, pledging brotherhood with each other in high spirits.

"The last battle, letting the Lion Clan escape, just thinking about it makes me angry!"

After eating and drinking their fill one time, while chatting about some rivals of the Tiger Clan, Hu Zhuang slapped his thigh with a face full of regret as he spoke.

Hu Wei laughed and said, "The Lion Clan learned their lesson last time, they probably won’t dare to provoke our Tiger Clan youths for a while."

Wu De said, "I say, since they are rivals, to prevent future trouble, why not just annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

"I think so too, but..."

Hu Zhuang sighed and said with a displeased face, "Father has already issued a strict order prohibiting our Tiger Clan youths from proactively provoking the Lion Clan, otherwise we will be severely punished! Otherwise... hmm..."

Hu Wei patted Hu Zhuang’s shoulder and said, "Forget it. Father said that the Lion Clan has a powerful backing. If we push them too far, our Tiger Clan might suffer in the end!"

Hu Zhuang retorted, "The Lion Clan’s backing is merely a human sect, what’s there to fear!"

Hu Wei said, "But that human sect has Thunder Tribulation Realm experts sitting guard!"

Hu Zhuang grumbled, "So what about Thunder Tribulation experts? I’m not afraid anyway! This time, Brother Fang has crafted Royal-level Spirit Pills and Spiritual Artifacts for our tribe, which might allow some of our senior members to advance in cultivation, and then we might face that human sect!"

Hu Wei smiled wryly, "You underestimate the power of Thunder Tribulation experts too much."

Lightning Mink’s eyes twinkled as he asked, "What’s the name of that human sect? Let me hear it."

Hu Wei said, "Taixuan Sect! Both their Supreme Elders are Thunder Tribulation Realm experts!"

Hu Zhuang said, "Marten Brother, you’ve heard of Taixuan Peak, right? It’s the number one Cultivation Holy Land in our Heaven’s Net Realm, originally ownerless land where all Martial Artists could cultivate on the peak, but was later occupied by a group of human experts who established a sect there, making Taixuan Peak the headquarters of their sect! Truly hateful!"

Lightning Mink shook his head and said, "I came from the three thousand Minor Worlds, totally unfamiliar with this place, how would I know about Taixuan Peak or Taixuan Sect?"

After a pause, he grinned mischievously and said, "Since Taixuan Sect has Thunder Tribulation experts stronger than Soul Severing experts sitting guard, their sect must have a lot of Spiritual Medicine planted, right?"

Hu Wei, seeing his wicked smile, suddenly realized a possibility, and his eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Marten Brother, you’re not planning to steal and spoil Taixuan Sect’s herb garden, are you?"

Hu Zhuang, Wind Roc, and Wu De also stared wide-eyed at Lightning Mink.

"Marten Brother, if you really do that, take me with you! Hehe, the stronger the sect, the more thrilling and exhilarating it is to steal their cultivation resources!"

Wu De said excitedly, rubbing his hands.

Though Wind Roc said nothing, his expression revealed that he was interested too.

However, Hu Wei was calmer, frowning as he looked at Lightning Mink, waiting to see what he would say.

Lightning Mink thought for a moment and said, "I’m planning to go to Taixuan Sect, but you all... your strength is a bit weak! Bringing you along would be a burden for me! Besides, you are all good friends of Fang Bai, if anything goes wrong, Fang Bai surely wouldn’t be happy!"

Lightning Mink feared nothing worldly, ignoring even the Tiger Clan’s Supreme Elder, but he cared a lot about Fang Bai’s opinion.

Hearing this, Wu De immediately felt discontented, rolling his eyes and said unhappily, "We’re going to steal, not fight, it has nothing to do with strength and power! As long as we stay clever and cautious, nothing will happen! Marten Brother, as friends, take us with you!"

Lightning Mink sighed in resignation, spread his hands, and said, "Alright, I’ll listen to you! But remember, once we reach Taixuan Sect, I’ll scout ahead, and you follow afterward. If discovered, I’ll distract their pursuit while you escape quickly!"

"No problem!"

"Rest assured!"

"Haha, just thinking about stealing Taixuan Sect’s cultivation resources is thrilling!"

"If you go, I can only join! But we all have to be careful!"

After Wu De, Wind Roc, and the Hu brothers agreed on this, they each returned to prepare for the trip to Taixuan Sect.

Although Taixuan Sect was tens of thousands of miles away from the Tiger Clan Territory, with Wind Roc acting as their mount, such distance was not far for them.

One person and four beasts set off secretly, and after five days of flying, they finally arrived in the mountainous region near Taixuan Sect.

"There is Taixuan Peak!"

Standing atop a mountain, several miles away, Hu Wei raised his arm to point, showing a gigantic and towering mountain peak piercing the clouds, with snow covering its top, and luxurious palaces and mansions below.

The mountain, from top to bottom, was planted with an uncountable array of Spiritual Medicines, with thick Spiritual Energy enveloping it like a dream, fragrant and illusory, as flocks of birds occasionally circled in the air, resembling an Immortal Realm.

"Indeed a wonderful place. Cultivating on this peak for one day is worth three to five days elsewhere."

Lightning Mink took a deep breath of the Spiritual Energy in this place, looking envious as he spoke.

Wu De, gazing at Taixuan Peak with eyes aglow, murmured to himself, "The Spiritual Energy of this mountain is dense, aside from part of it being emitted by the Spiritual Medicines, there might be a Spirit Stone Vein or other cultivation treasure within the mountain body."

"Old Taoist Wu, are you sure?"

Lightning Mink couldn’t help asking.

Lightning Mink had known Wu De since his time in the secular world, aware that this Fat Taoist had an extremely keen sense for Spiritual Energy, easily discovering Spirit Stone Veins or tombs left by powerful figures to steal and claim as his own.

"Taoist Master has never been wrong!"

Wu De declared confidently.

Lightning Mink called out "Great," transforming back to mink form and darting forward rapidly, communicating through sound to Wu De and others, "Wait here. Let me explore first! Without my word, nobody move recklessly, or we’re no longer friends!"

"Let’s just wait quietly for a bit!"

Watching the direction where Lightning Mink disappeared, Hu Wei said.

Thus, one person and three beasts stood on the mountain peak, gazing toward Taixuan Sect, waiting for Lightning Mink’s news.

Two hours later, just as Wu De and others were growing anxious, a silver shadow flashed before their eyes, and Lightning Mink reappeared.

"Wind Roc, you’re fast. Quickly return to the Tiger Clan Territory and tell your master that there are two Little Lovers he knows from the secular world here at Taixuan Sect. Tell him to hurry over, or they’ll be gone!"

Lightning Mink said to Wind Roc with a strange expression.
