Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Don't panic, what happened?"

Seeing the middle-aged man in blue robes trembling with fear, Chu Tianhong frowned slightly and asked in return.

"Could it be that those remnants of the Wusheng Sect have returned to fight again?"

Xia Xihai, standing nearby, couldn't help but speak up as well.

After all, the reason why Tu Su and the others retreated from Strange Stone Peak without a fight was only because they were wary of Yan Wu's terrifying strength. The other peaks of Cangmang Mountain were not so lucky and might even suffer retaliatory attacks from the Wusheng Sect!

"In response to Vice Dean Xia, that's not the case...!"

Faced with Xia Xihai's questioning, the middle-aged man in the blue robe swallowed hard and then said, "Actually, a powerful Heaven-rank demonic beast suddenly broke in from Gaoxing Peak...!"

"This beast is not only wreaking havoc all over High Star Peak, trampling on the spiritual fields and herbs, but it has also injured dozens of Falling Star disciples who tried to stop it. As for us, our cultivation is too low to stop this beast at all. We hope Vice Dean Xia can step in to help us out..."

"A powerful Heavenly Rank demonic beast?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Xihai looked puzzled, while Chu Tianhong's expression changed slightly, as if he had suddenly remembered something. "Could it be... uh!"

Just as Chu Tianhong was about to move, his body suddenly went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.

Clearly, after a bloody battle, his body had reached its limit, and he was now finding it difficult to even stand, let alone stop the rampaging destruction caused by the Heavenly Rank demonic beast.

"Old Chu, your injuries are more serious than mine, you don't need to do this little thing yourself..."

Seeing this, Xia Xihai also tactfully chimed in, clearly intending to go to Gaoxing Peak in place of Chu Tianhong to quell the chaos.

"No...!"

However, Chu Tianhong refused Xia Xihai's suggestion without hesitation, his face full of worry. "Old Xia, I need to go to Gaoxing Peak myself, because that Heavenly Rank demonic beast is...!"

"Dean Chu, Vice Dean Xia, why don't we let our disciple go instead?"

The two were arguing, but Lu Feng interrupted them again, his tone full of confidence.

After all, he has not only reached the fourth level of the Yuanhai Realm, but has also subdued the Earth Tiger Star, one of the seventy-two Earthly Fiends. As long as he does not encounter a top-tier Heavenly Rank demon beast, ordinary demon beasts cannot harm Lu Feng in the slightest!

As for why Lu Feng suddenly volunteered, it was quite simple: he had his eye on the demon cores and bones of the Heavenly Rank demon beasts. After all, these things were extremely valuable. Even if he didn't need them for the time being, he could sell them for a good price, or even put them into the Treasure Basin to increase their value!

"Lu Feng, I want to go too!"

Seeing that Lu Feng was planning to go to Gaoxing Peak alone to quell the rebellion, Ren Xuanfei, who was standing to the side, rushed out and grabbed his arm, seemingly unwilling to leave Lu Feng's side even for a moment.

"what?"

Seeing this, Lu Feng was somewhat taken aback and quickly added, "Honey, the one causing trouble on Gaoxing Peak is a Heavenly Rank demonic beast. Isn't it too dangerous for you to go with it now...?"

"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of!"

With another soft hum, interrupting Lu Feng's worries, Ren Xuanfei remained resolute, "Besides, you're here with me! As long as you're here, I'm not afraid of anything!"

"Or are you saying that you, a grown man, can't even protect your own woman?"

At this point, Ren Xuanfei paused, seemingly realizing she had misspoke. She quickly lowered her head and said weakly, "Um... Lu Feng, I'm sorry... I didn't mean anything by it...!"

"Although Lin Daiyu has been kidnapped by those demonic cultists of the Wusheng Sect, this is only temporary. We will definitely be able to wipe out those demonic cultists and rescue Lin Daiyu..."

Ren Xuanfei glanced at Lu Feng somewhat nervously, only to see that the latter merely shook his head slightly, showing no sign of blame. "Xuanfei, you don't need to apologize. Actually, I understand everything... Let's go!"

Lu Feng immediately turned and left, flying towards the direction of Gao Xingfeng not far away. Ren Xuanfei followed closely behind, staying close to him.

"Old Chu, look at this...!"

Seeing Lu Feng leave so abruptly, Xia Xihai also looked helpless. He turned to look at Chu Tianhong, who was still injured beside him, but the latter only shook his head slightly, his expression still solemn. "Xihai, help me up...!"

"Brother Chu, your injuries...!"

"It's alright!"

Liu Lanyu was about to step forward to help the other person when Chu Tianhong waved her hand to stop her, seemingly having some compelling reason to go. "That Heavenly Rank demonic beast... no... that girl needs me now!"

...

Cangmang Mountain, Gaoxing Peak

Roar!

As far as the eye could see, all that remained was ruins and devastation. At the summit of the mountain, a terrifying, snow-white beastly figure was entrenched, emanating a mournful and furious roar.

"This demonic aura is... a low-level Heavenly Rank demonic beast?"

Looking at the ruins of Gaoxing Peak, Lu Feng, who had arrived late, did not hesitate at all. He immediately drew the Extreme Ice Shield Axe from his back and looked at the snow-white beast shadow that was rampaging and roaring wildly opposite him.

The snow-white beast was not large, about the size of an ordinary tiger, and its appearance was also similar. However, it had a strange frost pattern on its forehead, and its fur was as white as snow. Its limbs and claws were as sharp as knives, and it exuded an extremely powerful bloodline demonic power, which made people feel scared!

"A vast expanse of ice!"

Seeing that the snow-white beast was just an ordinary low-level Heaven-rank demon beast, Lu Feng felt more confident and swung his Ice Shield Axe forward!

bass!bass!bass!

A large amount of pure Yuan energy mixed with deadly cold air instantly transformed into dozens of ice crystal axe beams, pointing directly at the vital points around the former's body!

"roar...!"

Faced with Lu Feng's initiative, the snow-white beast shadow also let out an angry roar, then opened its mouth and spat out a large cloud of strange white mist, which instantly melted the ice crystal axe light that was coming towards it, turning it into nothingness!

"Strange, the Ice Shield Axe's attacks are ineffective?"

Seeing this, Lu Feng was equally surprised, his brows furrowing slightly. "And why does the demonic aura on this beast feel so familiar...?"

Although he was still recovering from his injuries and not at his peak strength, he was still a fourth-level Yuanhai Realm cultivator and wielded the top-grade Xuan-rank magic weapon "Extreme Ice Shield Axe." Lu Feng was naturally surprised that he couldn't even handle a mere low-level Heaven-rank demon beast.

"Spare his life!"

Just as Lu Feng was about to make another move, a voice urgently admonishing him came from behind.

Swish!

The next moment, Chu Tianhong and the others rushed over and quickly blocked the menacing Lu Feng. "Lu Feng, don't make a move! This Heavenly Rank demonic beast didn't mean to hurt anyone, and it has no malicious intent. It's all just a misunderstanding...!"

"Misunderstand?"

Faced with Chu Tianhong's dissuasion, Lu Feng also looked puzzled, seemingly not understanding what the other party was talking about.

"Lu Feng, actually, this Heavenly Rank demonic beast isn't some kind of vicious beast that can harm people; it's just that girl Ling Yu in disguise..."

Seeing the confusion on Lu Feng's face, Chu Tianhong sighed softly, then said with a pained expression, "Ah! This girl not only possesses a half-demon body, but also contains a wisp of Ice Spirit Tiger bloodline within her. Therefore, every time she goes berserk and becomes possessed by demons, she will reveal her Ice Spirit Tiger true form, lose her human reason, and only have a bloodthirsty beastly nature in her eyes..."

"However, I've never revealed this secret to anyone outside the circle, so it's normal that you're unaware of it right now..."
