When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

After killing the remnants of the Blood Vulture Gang, Jiang Feng sheathed his sword and returned to Xiao Wan Ning and Xiao Xing Ye's side.

After taking the healing medicine, the two people's pale complexions finally regained some color, and the bleeding from their chest wounds stopped.

"What happened after you entered the secret realm?"

Jiang Feng inquired.

Xiao Xingye gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with hatred: "Brother Jiang Feng, we were teleported in and landed in the dense forest."

"My sister and I were originally tracking a treasure beast, but who knew we would suddenly run into Liu Guanyi and Tu Biao's gang."

"They're insane; they went straight for the kill."

"Our shield was shattered instantly. If you hadn't arrived in time, we would probably be dead by now."

"A treasure beast?"

Jiang Feng asked curiously.

I never expected that there would be a treasure beast in this secret realm.

Treasure beasts are special beings among exotic beasts.

Unlike the bloodthirsty and ferocious monsters corrupted by the abyss's black mist, they retain the pure bloodline of spirit beasts, making them treasures from head to toe.

"That's right, if I'm not mistaken, it should be a pure white sika deer."

Xiao Xingye said.

If it weren't for those people, he might have already hunted down that treasure beast.

"I see."

"Now, you will follow me."

Although he is currently the most efficient person, he cannot simply leave the seriously injured siblings here to fend for themselves.

"Jiang Feng... thank you."

Xiao Wan Ning said gratefully, a subtle flutter in her heart.

"Damn it! I'll remember this grudge!"

Xiao Xingye slammed his fist on the ground, his eyes red-rimmed. "One day I'll tear that bastard Liu Guanyi to pieces!"

There will be an opportunity.

Jiang Feng comforted him, then glanced at the system map out of the corner of his eye.

Several kilometers ahead, a purple dot of light was moving rapidly.

A thought suddenly struck him.

A rare purple-level resource, and it's moving at high speed?

Could it be that treasure beast?

If it's a fifth-tier treasure beast, its value is simply immeasurable!

"Let's go take a look ahead."

……

Meanwhile, deep in the dense forest.

"Yo yo!"

A snow-white sika deer with antlers as clear and translucent as glass is running frantically through the forest in terror.

With each leap, a gentle breeze would rise from beneath its hooves.

Behind it, several gray afterimages followed closely.

The leader was a gaunt, emaciated old man.

His hair was sparse, his eyes were sunken, and a greedy glint shone from his murky eyes.

This person was none other than the fourth elder of the Purple Scorpion Sect—"Human Demon"!

"Hehehe! A fifth-tier treasure beast! A pure-blooded Glazed White Deer!"

The demon stared at the white figure ahead, excitedly licking its chapped lips.

"Treasure beasts of this caliber are practically priceless on the provincial capital's black market, and even if they did exist, they'd be monopolized by high-ranking officials and wealthy individuals!"

"I never expected to encounter such an exceptional person!"

At this moment, a subordinate in gray robes following behind looked troubled and couldn't help but remind him, "Fourth Elder, the sect leader instructed us that our primary mission in entering the secret realm this time is to hunt down the various prodigies."

"If we focus all our energy on this treasure beast now, it might delay the mission assigned to us by our superiors."

Before he could finish speaking, the demon suddenly stopped.

He turned his head, his old face, as white as withered tree bark, gave his subordinate a chilling smile, and patted the man's shoulder with his dry hand.

"What I need to do... when did it become your place to interrupt?"

"Fourth Elder, I... Ughhhhh!!!"

Before the man could finish speaking, he let out a piercing scream.

Black energy surged in the demon's palm, unleashing a terrifying suction force.

In just a few seconds, all the man's vital essence was drained from his body, leaving him with only a shriveled skin.

The gray-clad men around them trembled with fear, remaining silent and not daring to even breathe.

"Hmph, trash!"

The demon swallowed the essence and blood it had absorbed, let out a satisfied burp, and scanned the crowd with a sinister look.

"Listen up, all of you! Go and stop them!"

"If this treasure beast gets away today, I'll drain you all dry!"

Those talented students we capture will have to be handed over to the sect.

But this fifth-tier Glazed White Deer has antlers that can be used to forge weapons, blood that is a great tonic, and meat and heart that can fetch astronomical prices!

If he's caught, then it's his private property!

"Yes, Fourth Elder!"

The gray-clad men, as if granted a pardon, scattered desperately, forming an encirclement around the white deer.

A moment later, just as the white deer was about to reach a dead end...

"Whoosh!!!"

A sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the tall trees in the distance!

A feathered arrow, shimmering with cyan true energy, pierced the head of the fifth-tier white deer.

The white deer let out a mournful cry and collapsed to the ground.

"Who goes there?!"

The demon watched helplessly as its prey was snatched away, and it flew into a rage.

"Hehe, Ling Yu, did you see that? I told you my archery skills were better!"

Accompanied by a burst of clear, bell-like laughter, two young figures leaped down from the canopy of a large tree ahead.

The girl was dressed in a light blue outfit, with her hair tied in a high ponytail. She held a shimmering longbow in her hand, and her bright eyes and white teeth made her beautiful and charming.

It was Yan Jinyao, one of the Four Saints of Wujiang.

Following her to the ground was a young man in black carrying a heavy black sword.

The young man had a cold and stern face and didn't say a word, but when he looked at Yan Jinyao's proud little face, he couldn't help but smile gently.

He was always taciturn, and after struggling for a long time, he still didn't know how to start the conversation.

However, the smile on Ling Yu's face froze instantly the next second.

The sense of crisis from the fifth-grade Grandmaster made his heart tighten suddenly!

"Yaoyao! Watch out!!!"

Ling Yu roared and, without the slightest hesitation, drew the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword from his back and strode in front of Yan Jinyao.

Ahead, a foul-smelling black mist rolled in.

The demon's murky eyes were fixed on Yan Jinyao's graceful and youthful figure, his eyes gleaming with an excitement even greater than when he saw a treasure beast.

"Hehehe! What kind of luck with women has I had today?"

"Not only did I get a fifth-tier treasure beast for free, but such a beautiful young lady also came to my door."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and put the glass deer that had fallen to the ground into his storage bag.

"You dare steal my prey?!"

Yan Jinyao raised her eyebrows and lifted her longbow, ready to draw the string fully.

"prey?"

The demon licked his yellowed teeth, his body radiating black energy. "Little girl, now... you are my prey!"

"boom!"

The moment the words fell, the demon transformed into a strange black mist and attacked Yan Jinyao like a ghost!

"Yaoyao, step back!!"

A murderous glint flashed in Ling Yu's eyes.
