On the path to immortality, I can see destiny.

Zhao Fan watched from the sidelines, his eyes wide with amazement, and he felt utterly thrilled.

Although the three of them didn't coordinate very well, they were quite powerful, especially the old man, who, judging from his aura, should be the strongest among the three.

The remaining two were also quite strong, able to fight the Blood Shadow Wolf, a peak-level being, to a standstill.

However, upon hearing the name "Blood Shadow Wolf," Zhao Fan felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had heard of it before.

After thinking for a long time, he remembered that his master seemed to have said that the Blood Shadow Wolf was particularly powerful, and that once it reached adulthood, it would be at the peak of the first tier.

The peak of the first tier is roughly equivalent to the peak of Qi Refining. In addition, the demon race itself can rely on its strong physique and some innate supernatural abilities, making its combat power stronger than that of an ordinary peak Qi Refining cultivator.

If one could kill a Blood Shadow Wolf at the peak of Qi Refining, it could probably fetch a hundred or two spirit stones.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fan felt a pang of envy. The stronger one's strength, the greater one's ability to earn spirit stones.

At this moment, Blood Shadow Wolf was attacked by the two at the same time and tightly bound, its body struggling incessantly.

Each struggle resulted in a large number of threads being torn off, causing the two iron chains to shake violently.

The old man remained calm, focusing solely on controlling the whisk to conjure silk threads to compensate.

The woman in red, however, did not look so good. She was the weakest of the three, and every time the Blood Shadow Wolf struggled, her hand controlling the array plate would tremble, and her face would turn pale.

"I'll suppress it. You two, please don't hold back any longer. If we drag this out any longer, we're afraid we'll leave empty-handed."

The female cultivator in red shouted, her hand seals changing, and immediately four more crimson iron chains flew out, binding the Blood Shadow Wolf's four legs.

The old man and the scholar knew that if they delayed any longer, and the Blood Shadow Wolf recovered from its weakened state, their trip would have been in vain.

With that thought, the old man waved his hand and took out a golden bow and arrow from his storage bag.

With his right hand resting on the bowstring, a gilded arrow materialized and gradually solidified.

The scholar suddenly flicked his folding fan, and a jet-black, sharp spike popped out from the fan's head.

The Blood Shadow Wolf also sensed the danger and struggled even more fiercely, its blood color growing increasingly intense.

The powerful force snapped the threads on her body in the blink of an eye.

Cracks began to appear in the chain.

The female cultivator in red was pale and her body trembled uncontrollably, but she gritted her teeth and made a hand seal with one hand while holding a spirit stone in the other to replenish her spiritual power.

At this moment, the flow of air in Zhao Fan's eyes changed again.

In the sky, countless scattered air currents slowly solidified and surged into a dark cave nearby.

At the same time, these three late-stage Qi Refining cultivators also emitted special auras, which split into two streams. One stream flowed into the cave along with them, while the other stream rushed towards the Blood Shadow Wolf.

This scene reminded him of how, when he obtained those medicinal herbs, a stream of energy would always emanate from his body and envelop the herbs.

Although it's unclear what this means, the flow of energy around these three people seems to be similar to that situation back then.

However, the convergence of such a large amount of airflow must mean that something good is present.

Thinking about it, Zhao Fan became more interested in the situation inside the cave.

Putting everything else aside, they said before that the Blood Shadow Wolf had just given birth. If this cave is the Blood Shadow Wolf's cave, there might be Blood Shadow Wolf cubs inside.

Although the value of a Blood Shadow Wolf cub is unknown, a monster cub that can grow to the peak of the first tier, or even potentially advance to the second tier, is definitely no less valuable than a high-grade magic weapon.

A high-grade magic weapon is worth at least a hundred spirit stones.

The temptation of over a hundred spirit stones was too much for Zhao Fan to resist.

However, after a moment of hesitation, he did not rush to make a move, but continued to look at the center of the battlefield.

If these two's killing moves can really kill this monster, then he can forget about stealing the cubs. If the Blood Shadow Wolf can hold them off, then he'll have a chance to steal one.

At this moment, the old man's bow was fully drawn, and the golden arrow in his hand transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the Blood Shadow Wolf's heart.

The scholar also flung out the black spike in his hand, aiming it straight at the Blood Shadow Wolf's eyes.

At this moment, the Blood Shadow Wolf sensed the threat of death, and the blood-red light on its body instantly more than doubled, and its power was greatly enhanced.

In the blink of an eye, three chains snapped, allowing it to move slightly and avoid a fatal blow.

Finally, the arrow pierced through the Blood Shadow Wolf's abdomen, leaving two large holes in its body from which blood gushed continuously.

The black spike grazed the Blood Shadow Wolf's shoulder, causing little damage, but leaving behind a patch of strange black energy that continuously eroded the Blood Shadow Wolf's flesh.

The red-clad female cultivator's formation was broken, causing a backlash. Although she was not seriously injured, her spiritual consciousness was damaged, her face was pale, and her eyes were bloodshot.

"This beast is troublesome; it even knows the Blood Burning Technique?"

The old man frowned as he looked at the Blood Shadow Wolf. It had used the Blood Burning Technique, which not only made it more difficult to deal with, but even if it was killed, the spiritual energy in its flesh and blood would be almost completely consumed, greatly reducing the value of the corpse.

Thinking of this, he looked at the red-clad female cultivator with some displeasure, but seeing her miserable appearance, he didn't say anything more.

"This beast is badly injured. Let's all work together and kill it!"

The scholar in white didn't say much, but simply unfolded his folding fan again, unleashing a series of wind blades that headed straight for the Blood Shadow Wolf.

The old man and the woman in red didn't say anything more, and each used their own methods to continue suppressing the Blood Shadow Wolf.

Seeing this, Zhao Fan felt relieved. Since the Blood Shadow Wolf was still alive, he had a chance to see if he could steal one of its cubs.

With this thought in mind, Zhao Fan crouched down and crept towards the cave.

The three men and the wolf were locked in fierce combat, and no one noticed Zhao Fan's presence.

After feeling around for a while, Zhao Fan finally reached the cave entrance.

Following the airflow, Zhao Fan quickly walked deeper into the cave.

He was also thinking to himself that if he saw any Blood Shadow Wolf cubs later, he would take a few with him.

Wolves usually seem to have quite a few cubs.

When he was teleported out of the secret realm, he saw that there were five or six wolf cubs in that litter. Even though demonic beasts have a relatively low reproductive rate, there should always be two or three.

The cave wasn't deep, and Zhao Fan didn't go far before he reached his limit.

This place is similar to a hall, with a thick layer of dry weeds piled up in the corner, forming a rather comfortable-looking nest.

Inside the grass nest, three wolf cubs were lying, their fur still wet, stained with traces of blood and the placenta and amniotic membranes that their mother had not yet cleaned.
