He began his journey to becoming a true immortal by causing others to fail their tribulations.

Since this was Xun Yan's first time in the Thunderous Secret Realm, and he hadn't explored it much yet, the system map only showed an area around Xun Yan.

The other areas were shrouded in thick fog, making it impossible to see any useful information.

But right at the edge of the fog, Xun Yan saw a point of light representing Han Xi.

However, before Xun Yan could even open Han Xi's information, his light spot entered the fog.

"The presence of light spots proves that Han Xi is still alive, and his movement speed seems quite vigorous."

Thinking this through, Xun Yan looked around, estimated the distance, and then looked at the area shown on the map.

"It seems that the map area doesn't necessarily require me to set foot there to appear; as long as I can see it, it's fine."

I wonder if if I climb to a high point, I can see an entire map like the bird's-eye view in some games.

"Forget it, we can test that later. Right now, let's deal with Hansi, this potential threat."

Xun Yan glanced around again, then walked toward a boulder several meters high.

He hid in the shadow of the boulder, and only after confirming that there was no immediate danger and no one was watching did he take out the Treasure Basin.

This time, he was going to replicate the golden silk soft armor that Mu Qingfeng had given him.

Although there is a 50% chance that negative keywords will be attached, negative keywords can still be misleading if used properly.

A moment later, Xun Yan held the replica of the gold-threaded soft armor, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

【Golden Silk Soft Armor - Replication (Cloning)】

[It possesses the exact same effects and defensive capabilities as the Golden Silk Armor; when worn, it consumes spiritual energy to condense only one clone.]

The clone's appearance, temperament, and aura are indistinguishable from the original, making it difficult to tell the difference.

However, the clone's combat power is only one-tenth of the original body, and the distance between them cannot exceed one kilometer.

[What the clone sees, hears, and feels can be synchronized with the main body. If the clone is attacked or affected by negative status effects, the main body will not be affected.]

The clone will immediately dissipate if it receives a heavy blow or is too far from the main body.

Xun Yan clenched his fist slightly and thought to himself:

"I was lucky this time; I actually managed to replicate a positive amplification. Although the clone's combat power isn't high, it's incredibly convenient for scouting."

Especially in the current Thunderous Realm, having a clone scout ahead greatly reduces the chances of stepping on traps or encountering ambushes.

Without any hesitation, Xun Yan quickly put on the replica of the gold-threaded soft armor.

Then he cautiously walked toward the location of Han Xiguang's message.

The closer Xun Yan got to that place, the stronger the stench of blood became.

After stopping on a slope, Xun Yan slowly poked his head out, and his pupils contracted slightly.

Two ferocious beasts were frantically devouring a corpse. Judging from the corpse's clothes, it was clear that it belonged to an outer disciple.

Since the corpse's head was missing, Xun Yan was unable to recognize the outer disciple's identity.

After letting out a silent sigh, Xun Yan's gaze fell on the two ferocious beasts.

They are about two meters long, covered in black fur, with long and strong hind limbs, and forelimbs that look somewhat like human hands with sharp claws.

Its head resembled that of a wolf, and its eyes were bloodshot, as if formed from congealed blood.

Xun Yan frowned slightly, thinking to himself:

"Why does this thing look so much like a werewolf? Is it from another world?"

Just as Xun Yan was wondering, a werewolf raised its head, sniffed, and then suddenly turned to look at where Xun Yan was.

Then it let out a howl and charged directly at Xun Yan, and another werewolf immediately joined in.

"We've been spotted? Your nose's pretty sharp!"

Although his location was exposed, Xun Yan was not flustered at all. He wanted to test his current strength.

Although the two werewolves in front of them came with great force, the aura they unleashed was only at the third level of Qi Refining.

Even if it's one against two, it's still worth a try.

With a flick of his wrist, Xun Yan summoned the Thunderclap Sword.

The moment the spiritual energy surged into the Thunderclap Sword, the blade was immediately enveloped in arcs of electricity.

Swah——

When the sword struck the werewolf charging at the front, it successfully left a wound on the werewolf's body, but it did not cause a fatal injury.

"Their fur is more protective than I expected."

Having dodged the attack of another werewolf, Xun Yan learned from his mistake and thrust his sword directly at the werewolf's throat.

Although the werewolf bones were harder than expected, they still couldn't stop the Thunderclap Sword.

However, after piercing the werewolf's throat, the Thunderclap Sword became stuck in the werewolf's bones and could not be pulled out for a while.

Upon seeing this, the remaining werewolves immediately pounced on Xun Yan.

But with a flash of lightning, the werewolf's head flew off.

Even after its head fell to the ground and rolled twice, the werewolf's eyes still held a lingering sense of confusion.

Xun Yan brandished the replica of the Thunderclap Sword in his hand and said, "Who told you I only have one sword?"

Having easily dealt with the two werewolves, Xun Yan wasn't particularly excited.

He came to the body of the outer disciple. Although the body had been torn to pieces, it was clear that it was a male disciple.

Furthermore, the sword wound still visible on his back suggests that he was likely stabbed in the heart from behind before encountering the werewolf.

Not only that, his storage bag was also gone, and he had no other tokens that could prove his identity.

"Could it be Han Xiqian? Hey! If it really is him, I'll avenge you!"

Moreover, as fellow disciples, I cannot bear to see your corpse become food for ferocious beasts here…”

At this point, Xun Yan made a hand seal, and a fireball landed on the corpse, quickly burning it to ashes.

After collecting the ashes and placing them in the storage bag, Xun Yan spoke again:

"After I get out, I'll see if I can find out who you are! If not, I'll find a propitious place to bury you properly."

After settling these matters, Xun Yan turned and left, continuing his journey in the direction Han Xi had gone.

On the way, he didn't forget to review the previous battles.

"Those two werewolves, although they were only at the Qi Refining stage, had incredibly high physical strength, probably even greater than those body cultivators."

No wonder the outer sect elders said to avoid direct combat with ferocious beasts. If there's a power level advantage, it's manageable, but if they're at the same level, it's easy to suffer a loss.

If you encounter werewolves or even more ferocious beasts again, it's best to avoid them.

But if we have to fight, I still have a slight advantage. Who would have thought that these furry beasts would be countered by lightning?

Just as Xun Yan was reviewing the situation, a huge cave appeared in front of him.

The cave was estimated to be over ten meters in diameter, and the howling wind sounded like the roar of some unknown ferocious beast.
