You think I have mixed spiritual roots? I became an immortal through a spirit gourd, so what are you

"Senior brother is right. Finding the person is the priority. We can easily crush this Qi Refining Realm ant. His gains will benefit our disciple." One of the men in black said humbly.

"Alright, I've marked this ant. We'll come back to collect our spoils later." The leading man instructed before flying off into the distance. What they needed to do now was find Qin Muyao as soon as possible and strike while she was down.

And they had no idea that the target they were looking for was right under their noses.

Not long after the group of men in black left, the Swift Wolves from nearby rushed towards the scene.

This time, the pack of Gale Wolves was even larger than the previous one, numbering in the dozens.

"Damn it, have all the Gale Wolves in this area come here?" Chen Huai'an cursed under his breath as he watched the Gale Wolves rushing towards him from afar enter his divine sense range.

His magical power had not yet recovered, and the number of wolves was even greater than before, and there were so many of them at once. He was worried that he might not be able to hold them off on his own.

However, his worries are useless now; he can only take it one step at a time.

There's a saying that goes, "When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."

There's no use in worrying. Instead of worrying now, it's better to focus on building up the defenses.

Chen Huai'an wasn't entirely without a chance of winning against this pack of wolves.

As long as it's not a uniform group of second-tier Gale Wolves, he can still win easily, which is a good opportunity to experience his combat skills.

Chen Huai'an had made up his mind to use ranged attacks to take out those ordinary Tier 1 Gale Wolves.

As for the second-tier Gale Wolves, ordinary spells and the sword control technique he had just learned would be of no use. It would be better to use his specialty, the Flame Blade Technique, to deal with these second-tier Gale Wolves.

Chen Huai'an kept his divine sense focused on the movements of the wolf pack in the distance. He set up sand traps around him to restrict the speed of the Gale Wolves, used bone shields to protect his vital points, and launched earth spike attacks on ordinary first-tier Gale Wolves.

In addition, he held a high-grade earth-elemental spirit stone in one hand to replenish his depleted earth-elemental mana.

While ordinary Gale Wolves can't harm him, they can cause him considerable trouble. Once he eliminates the weaker ones, this potential danger will disappear, allowing him to focus entirely on dealing with the second-tier Gale Wolves.

"There are actually five Tier 2 Gale Wolves this time. One of them should have reached the peak of Tier 2." Chen Huai'an sensed with his divine sense that there was one Gale Wolves that was particularly large, even larger than the three Gale Wolves he had killed before. He wondered if this beast might be the leader of this group of Gale Wolves?

"Awoo!"

The howling of wolves brought Chen Huai'an a sigh of relief. The huge Gale Wolf did not attack with the pack. Instead, two second-tier Gale Wolves led the ordinary first-tier Gale Wolves in the charge.

He had to act quickly and eliminate these ordinary Gale Wolves.

The Swiftwind Wolf rushed into the range of his Sand Trap spell, but he did not rashly use Earth Spikes to attack. Instead, he gripped the flying sword magic weapon in his hand tightly. This magic weapon was extremely sharp, and when activated with magic power, it could easily tear apart the defenses of these beasts.

Chen Huai'an was prepared to take a risk and use his Flame Blade Technique to fight at close range. Before the giant second-tier Gale Wolf could react, he had already killed a group of ordinary Gale Wolves.

Chen Huai'an's flying sword was extremely sharp. Although the flying sword conflicted somewhat with his swordsmanship, its sharpness made it superior. With just one wave of attacks, several Gale Wolves fell into pools of blood, and one of the second-tier Gale Wolves was severely injured.

The second-tier Gale Wolves could threaten his safety, so he took advantage of their weakness to kill them. Ignoring the wind blades spewed out by the first-tier Gale Wolves, he killed them directly.

With one less Tier 2 Gale Wolf, Chen Huai'an's chances of winning have increased significantly.

Chen Huai'an attacked frantically. Because of his bone shield, even ordinary Gale Wolves couldn't break through his defenses. He was slaughtering everyone in sight.

"Awoo!"

The enormous second-tier Gale Wolf let out a deafening howl and charged at Chen Huai'an. The other two second-tier Gale Wolves that were flanking him also launched an attack on Chen Huai'an. Before the wolves even arrived, wave after wave of wind blades came crashing down on Chen Huai'an.

Chen Huai'an disregarded defense and immediately engaged in close combat, killing another second-tier Gale Wolf.

He killed several ordinary Tier 1 Gale Wolves, but there were still more than ten ordinary Gale Wolves eyeing him covetously.

"Interesting. This guy is actually quite strong, able to withstand the attack of this pack of swift wolves." Although the Yin Sha Sect disciple had gone far away, his divine sense was still focused on the nearby wolf pack.

Chen Huai'an's strength was beyond their expectations.

Killing these Gale Wolves would bring in another thousand low-grade spirit stones, so they returned, partly to watch the show and partly to pick up some bargains.

"Damn it, this Gale Wolf must be at the peak of the second tier." With just one wind blade attack, his bone shield defensive shield dimmed. This bone shield defense couldn't withstand two waves of attacks from the opponent at all.

Once his bone shield defense breaks, the other two second-tier Gale Wolves will take advantage of the situation. Chen Huai'an can fight and retreat at the same time. If he can't win, he can use Wood Release Technique to escape. However, once Qin Muyao is exposed to the wolf pack's attack range, even if she was strong before, she will not be able to escape death.

"No, we have to run away." Chen Huai'an knew when to quit while he was ahead and naturally wouldn't fight the wolf pack to the death. He released a wave of earth spikes, exhausting his earth-elemental magic power. Taking advantage of this opening, he directly carried Qin Muyao, who was protected by vine magic, on his back.

With the Wood Release technique activated, Chen Huai'an immediately merged with the towering ancient trees around him.

"There's someone else?" A disciple from the Yin Sha Sect in the distance asked. He noticed that Chen Huai'an wasn't fleeing alone, but was carrying someone on his back.

"Quickly, clear out these Gale Wolves. Mission target, appear." The first person the black-clad leader thought of was Qin Muyao.

He never imagined that their target was right under their noses.

However, it's not too late to discover this now. As long as they get rid of these troublesome Gale Wolves, they can free up their hands to deal with Qin Muyao.

Suddenly, a series of dark figures appeared in the dense forest nearby. They immediately launched a brutal attack on the Swiftwind Wolves that were chasing Chen Huai'an and his companions. In just a few breaths, all the Swiftwind Wolves were slaughtered.

"What's going on?" Chen Huai'an carried Qin Muyao as they fled, his divine sense constantly monitoring the movements behind them. If these Gale Wolves caught up with them, the consequences would be unimaginable. But he never expected that after they had only run a few hundred meters, his divine sense would detect that the pack of Gale Wolves chasing him had been slaughtered by a group of mysterious men in black.

"Oh no, these people are all from the Yin Sha Sect." Chen Huai'an had a headache. He never expected that after he and the Gale Wolf fought to the death, the Yin Sha Sect would sneak up and steal his glory.

These Yin Sha Sect experts were very strong. Such a powerful pack of Gale Wolves was wiped out in a single exchange. If they were caught up, he would have no chance of survival.

"Senior Sister Qin, wake up! Those bastards from the Yin Sha Sect are coming! Our lives are in danger!" The only way Chen Huai'an could think of to break this deadlock was Qin Muyao.

As long as Qin Muyao wakes up, with her strength, even if she can't be a match for these Yin Sha Sect disciples, she can at least help him hold them off and find a way to survive.

"Put me down quickly." Just as Chen Huai'an was in a state of panic and confusion, a clear and cold voice rang in his ear.
