Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Hehe, now that Brother Xu has avenged his great grudge, I, Zhang, will not interfere or ask any further questions."

"As for a mere few life-defying elixirs, I, Zhang, will not hesitate to keep them for myself."

After saying that, Zhang Dabiao flicked his sleeve and tossed out a small white glass bottle.

It was vaguely visible that inside were several strange pills, completely black and shaped like dragon eyes, which were clearly the unique life-defying elixir of the Wusheng Sect.

"Thank you so much, Brother Zhang, for the medicine!"

He quickly took the small glass bottle and found that it indeed contained several life-defying elixirs. Xu Tianlong was also very excited. Ignoring his serious injuries, he made a move to kowtow and express his gratitude.

After all, he knew all too well how precious these life-defying elixirs were!

It's no exaggeration to say that if Xu Tianlong had enough of the Fate-Defying Elixir, he could break through again and become a true Yuanhai Realm expert!

"Chief Zhang, so it turns out that Xu Tianlong risked his life and came here injured because he had his eye on the life-defying elixir we have..."

Seeing Zhang Dabiao bestow medicine again, Li Li stepped forward and secretly transmitted his voice, "However, we have given this Xu fellow many life-defying elixirs in the past, but this kid has always been obedient but disobedient, and quite rebellious..."

"In my opinion, this kid is nothing more than a fence-sitter who'll side with whoever feeds him. Giving him so many life-defying elixirs now might not be a good thing in the future..."

Li Li's words were full of vigilance, clearly indicating that he did not quite trust Xu Tianlong, his "ally."

After all, the other party was a disciple of Falling Star Academy, and he was willing to betray almost everyone for profit. Even they, the followers of the Wusheng Cult, did not dare to completely trust Xu Tianlong.

"You're right. Whether Xu Tianlong is truly loyal to the Holy Church is still unknown, but..."

Changing the subject, Zhang Dabiao secretly winked at Li Li and the others beside him, "You all know the drawbacks of this 'Life-Defying Elixir.' The more you take it, the greater the side effects will be, and it can even lead to addiction, madness, and loss of control..."

"And when that time comes, even if Xu Tianlong wants to continue being a fence-sitter, or even turn against the Holy Church, he won't escape our grasp...!"

Upon hearing this, Li Li and the others exchanged glances and then silently withdrew, clearly agreeing with Zhang Dabiao's reasoning.

"Brother Zhang, now that everything is ready, may I ask when we shall make our move?"

Seemingly unaware of Zhang Dabiao and his group's secret plot, Xu Tianlong slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth before tentatively speaking.

According to his initial cooperation plan with Zhang Dabiao and others, he was to act as an inside agent to attract the attention of the disciples of Falling Star Academy in Falling Star Valley. Then, Zhang Dabiao and others would take the opportunity to break the seal of the Earth Tiger Star's formation and capture everyone present!

As for the benefits after the deed is done, they will be split equally between Xu Tianlong, Zhang Dabiao, and the others. At the same time, the Wusheng Sect will also provide the former with more life-defying elixirs as a reward.

That's why Xu Tianlong is so impatient right now, eager to make his move and kill all his fellow disciples in Falling Star Valley!

"Brother Xu, don't be impatient. We can make our move after you recover. In any case, the ambush is already set up, and none of those Falling Star Academy disciples in Falling Star Valley will escape..."

Compared to Xu Tianlong's impatience, Zhang Dabiao remained calm, clearly not in a hurry to make a move.

After all, the Wusheng Sect had been planning for many years to steal the Earth Tiger Star in Falling Star Valley, so they didn't need to waste any more time.

...

Meanwhile, in the Starfall Secret Realm, above a certain sand dune...

Boom!

A deafening explosion suddenly rang out, followed by a large amount of beast blood spraying into the air. Then, a gray-robed figure descended from the sky, none other than Lu Feng, who had just finished his seclusion.

Above Lu Feng's head, a large number of crimson beast shadows were swarming around him. They were so densely packed that they covered almost half the sky, like crimson clouds obscuring the sun. Their imposing presence was terrifying and made people's hearts tremble.

Gah!Gah!Gah!

These crimson beasts were ugly in appearance, with sparse feathers, resembling vultures. They were flying up and down, making strange duck-like calls, while surrounding Lu Feng below the ground, seemingly regarding him as prey.

"Damn it!"

"When did I become so unlucky...!"

Looking up at the sky as well, Lu Feng's expression was quite grim.

The crimson beast shadows that trapped him were none other than a group of adult Crimson Vultures, one of the Xuan-rank demonic beasts. Among them, the Crimson Vulture King, whose bloodline demonic power was the strongest, was only comparable to a top-tier Xuan-rank demonic beast and was not difficult to deal with.

However, although these Crimson Vultures had weak demonic bloodlines, they had the advantage of sheer numbers. At this moment, there were at least tens of thousands of them, almost completely surrounding Lu Feng!

Therefore, even though Lu Feng's Yuan Power cultivation had reached the seventh level of the Spirit Soul Realm, he was unable to break through the encirclement in a short time.

Gaa gaa gaa...!

Just as Lu Feng was figuring out how to escape, he saw more than a dozen red vultures rushing down from above, their beaks wide open, aiming straight for his vital points, seemingly intending to devour him on the spot.

"You hairless beast, you're asking for death!"

Faced with the sneak attack from the dozen or so Crimson Vultures, Lu Feng's eyes turned cold, and he immediately unleashed eight giant golden Yuan Power palms.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A giant golden palm of Yuan energy pierced through the air and instantly blasted the dozen or so Crimson Vultures to pieces, turning them into a rain of blood and dust!

After all, these Crimson Vultures only have the advantage of numbers and species; their bloodline demonic power is pitifully weak. In a head-on confrontation, they are no match for Lu Feng at all!

"No way! I can't waste time here with these hairless bastards. I need to find a way to get out of here right now...!"

After killing more than a dozen Crimson Vultures with a single palm strike, Lu Feng did not linger in the fight. He immediately turned and charged toward one of the weak points in the Crimson Vultures' encirclement, intending to break through by force.

Roar...! Roar...! Roar...!

Just as Lu Feng was forcibly breaking through the encirclement, a piercing roar suddenly came from not far away, which made Lu Feng's heart skip a beat and he quickly turned his head to look.

"Such powerful demonic bloodline energy...!"

"And this number... could it be a beast tide?!"

Looking in the direction of the beast's roar, Lu Feng's face paled slightly as he saw a large, dark mass of shadows rapidly approaching him. His expression turned even more grim.

"A top-tier Xuan-rank demonic beast, the Ironclad Bull...!"

"A mid-level Earth-rank demonic beast, a six-tailed golden scorpion...!"

"A high-level Earth-rank demonic beast, the Rock-Swallowing Bear...!"

Looking at the terrifying horde of beasts rushing in from not far away, and a large number of monsters whose names he couldn't even recognize, even Lu Feng, who was usually calm and collected, started to panic.

"Damn, could I be any unlucky...?!"

At this moment, Lu Feng felt nothing but despair and curses.

After all, he had barely escaped the ravages of the astral calamity, and now he was caught in the beast tide. It was as if he had just escaped the wolf's den only to fall into the tiger's mouth. He was incredibly unlucky!
