Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

Chapter 124 Encountering Qian Renxue

Deep within the Tiger Fury Mountains.

Lin Yang and his skeletal clone have been wandering in the mountains for two days.

Over the past two days, he has encountered quite a few ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, but unfortunately none of them are the Earth-Splitting Golden Tiger that he desires.

If the information about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is correct, it is highly likely that the Earth-Splitting Golden Tiger has already been obtained by someone else.

Thinking of this, Lin Yang didn't show much disappointment.

Hunting soul beasts is inherently a matter of luck, so you can't blame it on someone else if he's unlucky.

Fortunately, the Tiger Fury Mountains are rich in the variety of spirit beasts, so it's not too late to change your target and find a new metal-type spirit beast.

As night fell, Lin Yang built a fire in a sheltered spot on a cliff, intending to rest there for the night.

The skeletal clone was on guard, while he himself leaned against the mountainside and closed his eyes to rest.

The night in the mountains was not peaceful, with occasional roars of beasts echoing through the air.

A few hours later, Lin Yang and his skeletal clone opened their eyes at the same time and looked in the same direction.

Someone's coming!

Just as Lin Yang got up, a figure emerged from the night and stood at the edge of the area illuminated by the firelight.

He squinted to make out the figure's features.

She was a woman, and she was extremely beautiful.

She looked to be around twenty years old, wearing a light gold dress, and her blonde hair shimmered faintly in the firelight.

She possessed a noble and aloof demeanor, with features so exquisite they resembled a sculpture.

It's the kind of face that you can never forget after just one glance.

Lin Yang's pupils contracted slightly.

Putting aside the fact that it's not unusual for a stunningly beautiful woman to suddenly appear in the Tiger's Fury Mountains in the middle of the night, amidst all the dangers, it's quite unusual.

But looking at her appearance and image, a name suddenly popped into his mind.

A thousand feet of snow!

This woman is undoubtedly Qian Renxue.

In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Lin Yang's mind.

The fact that Qian Renxue is here, and even took the initiative to come to us, means she definitely didn't come here just for sightseeing.

Most likely, they're after him.

Great!

He truly hadn't expected that Qian Renxue would be so relentless in her pursuit, chasing him all the way from the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace to the Tiger Fury Mountains.

With this attitude, anyone else would probably be moved to tears on the spot, lamenting, "Having drifted through half my life, I only regret not having met a wise ruler."

Unfortunately, Lin Yang will not join the Spirit Hall.

He didn't actually have much ill will towards the Spirit Hall.

He wanted to hide, partly because he had too many secrets and couldn't withstand close scrutiny;

On the other hand, it was because of Bibi Dong.

This woman is insane.

Furthermore, the deep-seated hatred between Xiao Wu and Bibi Dong meant that he would not stand on the side of the Spirit Hall.

Of course, it's impossible to refuse directly, so the only option is to rely on acting skills to get by.

Just then, Lin Yang suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with wariness. "Stop! Who are you?"

Qian Renxue remained calm, glancing at him. "Don't be nervous, I mean you no harm."

"I was just training here, and when I saw the fire, I came over to take a look."

Lin Yang frowned, looking incredulous.

But Qian Renxue ignored his wariness and walked to the fire, sitting down on a rock on the other side.

Lin Yang stared at her for a moment, then slowly sat back down in his original seat.

"Young lady, you have quite the nerve to venture alone into the depths of the Tiger's Fury Mountains in the dead of night."

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's lips curled slightly. "You're not bad either. Are you here to hunt for spirit rings?"

"Um!"

The two exchanged a glance, a hint of probing lurking in the air.

After a moment, Qian Renxue spoke first: "It is fate that we meet. My name is Qian Xue, and I come from the Heaven Dou Empire. What about you?"

"Lin Dong?" Lin Yang replied without changing his expression, "A Xingluo person."

Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Qian Renxue's lips twitched.

If I hadn't known Lin Yang's background, I might have actually been fooled by this little rascal.

What Lin Dong? What Xingluo people?

From the moment they open their mouths, not a single word they say is true. How the hell are we supposed to have a conversation like this?

After a few seconds of silence, Qian Renxue asked again, "Judging from your appearance, you don't seem to be very old."

"It's alright. I just turned eighteen this year, so my face looks a bit young."

Lin Yang could spout these nonsense off the top of his head, and he said them as if they were true.

"It's only easier to find a wife that way."

Qian Renxue forcibly controlled her facial expression, her fist clenching and unclenching repeatedly, but in the end she took a deep breath and didn't smash her fist hard into Lin Yang's face.

That bastard, he's two completely different people.

Besides, isn't this guy a womanizer?

Why didn't she react at all when she saw her? Could it be that she's not as good as those women like Dugu Yan?

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue's gaze toward Lin Yang carried a hint of hostility.

Lin Yang couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so he simply kept quiet and threw two pieces of wood into the fire.

Seeing that she couldn't get any truth out of Lin Yang, Qian Renxue finally turned her attention to the identity of the skeleton standing to the side.

"Where is he? What's his name? Why isn't he saying anything?"

Lin Yang didn't say anything, but the skeletal clone beside him said in a hoarse voice, "Lin Gu, my voice... isn't pleasant."

Qian Renxue frowned; the voice was indeed unpleasant.

But who is Lin Gu?

In Lin Yang's network of connections, she had never heard of the name Lin Gu.

Could it be another fabricated story?

Qian Renxue didn't press the matter further, because given Lin Yang's attitude, she wouldn't get any answers anyway.

The two sat there across the fire, each in silence.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, but thankfully neither of them felt embarrassed.

Yu Long, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene.

They are clearly two young people, not very old, yet they are more cunning than these older people.

That kid, in particular, went too far.

From the moment he opened his mouth until now, he hasn't uttered a single truth.

His fists were clenched from looking at it.

Just then, a tiger's roar echoed through the mountains and forests.

Roar--!

She Long's expression changed slightly, and he suddenly looked up into the distance.

Lin Yang and Qian Renxue also noticed something was wrong at almost the same time.

The ground was trembling slightly.

At first, it was not easy to notice, but it became more and more obvious and intense, as if a thousand troops were constantly rushing towards their direction.

"This is......"

Lin Yang's expression changed.

Qian Renxue had already stood up, gazing into the distance at the darkness, her voice slightly deep, "This is a beast tide!"

At this moment, the rumbling sound grew closer and closer, startling countless birds into flight in the forest and causing trees to fall in clumps, clearly indicating that a large number of soul beasts were fleeing frantically in this direction.

Lin Yang leaped onto a cliff face, looked into the distance, and quickly noticed something unusual.

Although these soul beasts came with great force, their scale was not as large as expected, and they were all coming from the same direction.

It was as if they had been driven away by something.

Lin Yang shared his analysis, and Qian Renxue pondered for a moment, "It's very likely that a powerful soul beast is hunting, but what kind of soul beast could cause such a large-scale panic?"

"Perhaps it's not hunting, but slaughter..."
