Chapter 821: Chapter 819: Surrounded by Wolves

Angry and horrified roars echoed endlessly beneath the demonic evil energy.

The phantom of the demonic tiger enveloped the sky and earth, exuding a monstrous slaughter intent that was terrifying to the extreme. However, at this moment, it was as quiet as if it were being completely controlled.

A petite figure abruptly appeared above the demonic tiger. It was Hong Xiaoxing.

Her small face was deathly pale, her clothes were stained with blood, and her aura was sluggish. Yet, despite her approach, the demonic tiger showed not the slightest resistance.

"Good thing I brought the treasure my old man gave me. Otherwise, I really would’ve bitten the dust this time."

Hong Xiaoxing felt a burst of relief. Looking at the massive treasure of a demonic tiger beneath her, she immediately narrowed her eyes happily into crescent moons. "What a huge treasure! When I get back, I can casually refine it into a Tier-3 Top-Grade Immortal Treasure."

She then looked down at the heavily injured Middle Stage of Golden Immortal below.

"On account of the Vajra Sect, I’ll spare your life. Scram."

The Middle Stage of Golden Immortal felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted and fled in a sorry state.

Hong Xiaoxing slowly looked into the distance, a flash of poorly concealed shock in her eyes. "Good heavens, this guy’s strength is actually this astonishing?"

Outside the Slaughter Map, a group of people had gathered. They were the Xueze assassins.

Right now, Leng Dao and Feng Ying’s faces were filled with solemnity and shock.

"Did Situ Ke actually lose?

"With so many experts, and Liou Xueyan heavily injured with barely any strength left... did that kid single-handedly fight off all those Golden Immortals?" Even as he said it, he couldn’t believe it himself.

But the commotions from inside kept coming. Even a fool would know what Situ Ke’s furious roars meant.

"That little brat Yang Yuan probably doesn’t even know his true strength.

"He improves too fast.

"It’s definitely a Ninth Grade Immortal Foundation." Feng Ying took a deep breath, no longer harboring any doubts.

Without a Ninth Grade Immortal Foundation, how could he possess such rapid improvement and combat power?

The Peak of Celestial Immortal cultivators behind the two were all trembling. Thank goodness they weren’t the ones sent to hunt down Xu Yang, otherwise wouldn’t they be dead for sure?

"Any thoughts?" Leng Dao looked at Feng Ying.

Even though Xu Yang was completely depleted right now, he still didn’t dare to take the risk. Situ Ke—that was Situ Ke! And he had brought a group of Golden Immortals, including a middle stage one.

Feng Ying’s expression shifted continuously before he suddenly said, "Drive the wolves to devour the tiger!"

"Drive the wolves to devour the tiger?" Leng Dao raised an eyebrow slightly.

Feng Ying said calmly, "Those Golden Immortals from earlier haven’t left yet, and there are still quite a few cultivators on the periphery.

"There are also no shortage of evil cultivators inside.

"A Ninth Grade Immortal Foundation is a huge temptation to them. Moreover, those two great geniuses from the Northern Continent offended the Vajra Sect and Situ Ke. If they aren’t kept here, whoever captures them and hands them over to Situ Ke will definitely receive his reward.

"We’ll wait for them to make a move while we observe from the shadows."

Leng Dao suddenly turned around and glared at the group of Peak of Celestial Immortal cultivators. "Didn’t you hear him? Hurry up and spread the word."

"Yes, sir."

The crowd quickly complied and scattered in all directions, leaving only Leng Dao and Feng Ying gazing solemnly inside.

ROAR!

The tiger’s roar abruptly shattered the dead silence.

The monstrous slaughter intent made Leng Dao and Feng Ying both shiver, instinctively backing away continuously.

Inside the Slaughter Map, the demonic tiger remained coiled to one side. But as the towering demonic evil energy gathered, it suddenly condensed another phantom of a demonic tiger above Xu Yang and the others.

The phantom opened its bloody maw, erupting with ultimate slaughter intent as it pounced fiercely toward the Vajra Sect cultivators below, letting out an ear-splitting roar.

ROAR! BOOM!

Two Golden Immortals looked as if they had been struck by lightning. They retreated in a wretched state, bleeding from their facial orifices, looking completely miserable.

Struck by the impact of the tiger’s roar, even Situ Ke let out a muffled groan and involuntarily fell to one knee again.

"Hong Xiaoxing, don’t push things too far!" Situ Ke bit his lip until it bled, glaring up at the midair and roaring furiously.

"Situ Ke, I didn’t expect you to be so pathetic. To think you were dealing with geniuses from the Northern Continent—one heavily injured and the other merely at the Middle Stage of Celestial Immortal—yet even with a group of Golden Immortals, you still couldn’t beat them. How embarrassing.

"The dignified seventh ranker on the Dragon and Tiger List! Hmph, it would be one thing if your skills were simply inferior, but you brought a pack of Golden Immortals to gang up on them! Do you even deserve to be called a genius of the Eastern Continent?

"Pah!" Hong Xiaoxing’s voice rang out, unceremonious and full of mockery, as if she despised Situ Ke from the bottom of her heart.

Qingyue’s mouth twitched. She glanced at the nearly maddened Situ Ke and sighed inwardly.

Although Situ Ke’s actions were understandable, to many proud and arrogant geniuses, it was undoubtedly a low blow. If you lose, you lose. You simply find an opportunity to settle the score later. To bring a group of people to encircle and intercept someone—where was his pride as a genius?

"Bastard!" Situ Ke trembled all over from anger.

"Hey kid, our collaboration is officially over.

"If you want me to keep helping you, you have to agree to one condition."

Xu Yang looked into the distance and sent a voice transmission. "What condition?"

"Join my family."

"You can leave," Xu Yang replied without hesitation.

"Damn it." Hong Xiaoxing cursed angrily. Controlling the demonic tiger, she soared into the sky, stirring up boundless demonic evil energy. Immediately, the winds surged and the clouds churned, distorting space and causing turbulence in all directions.

"Let’s go, quickly." Xu Yang didn’t even glance at Situ Ke and the others. Taking Liou Xueyan with him, he sped outward like a bolt of lightning.

After the few of them left the Slaughter Map area, they saw that all the energy of the entire region had been devoured by that demonic tiger. The energy gathered around its body, forming an illusory world that looked like a painted scroll.

Hong Xiaoxing shot Xu Yang a glance from afar and snorted in dissatisfaction. Then, she continuously formed hand seals, ultimately riding the demonic tiger as she sped out of the Demon Evil Valley.

The world here suddenly became clear, the demonic evil energy completely vanishing.

Hong Xiaoxing was gone. Xu Yang took a deep breath, scanning his surroundings vigilantly. He chose a direction and dashed off rapidly.

"Senior Yuanmie, go back and heal your injuries first. Hurry, I’m afraid I’ll still need your help later." Xu Yang stored Yuanmie into his Minor Immortal Realm.

Naturally, he couldn’t expose the existence of the Minor Immortal Realm to Liou Xueyan.

Seeing Yuanmie vanish bizarrely without a trace, Liou Xueyan didn’t press the matter. "Do you have any healing items?"

Xu Yang glanced at Liou Xueyan and said indifferently, "I have already fulfilled our contract."

"We haven’t escaped yet," Liou Xueyan replied flatly.

Xu Yang frowned, then immediately took out a few pills and a drop of Top-Grade Purple Rainbow Dew, handing them over.

Liou Xueyan swallowed them all in one gulp. She had been trapped in the Demon Evil Valley for many days, and the resources on her had long been depleted; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been unable to recover. Even with these items Xu Yang had provided, she wouldn’t be able to recover much in a short time.

"The people from Xueze are also here.

"They have already investigated my background thoroughly. They were probably hiding outside the Slaughter Map just now, as the commotion inside couldn’t be hidden from them. They won’t make a move easily, but once they do, it will definitely be a fatal blow."

Xu Yang’s expression was grave; he didn’t dare to relax in the slightest. Even as two precious pills and a massive amount of vital essence continuously surged into his Immortal Foundation, his Immortal Essence recovered extremely slowly. Up to now, he had only recovered less than forty percent.

"You had a deal with Hong Xiaoxing. Why did she suddenly leave?" Liou Xueyan asked.

Xu Yang said faintly, "She wanted me to join her faction."

COUGH, COUGH.

Liou Xueyan instantly began coughing violently, a trickle of blood spilling from her mouth.

"What, you’ve received her invitation too?" Xu Yang looked sideways in surprise.

Liou Xueyan nodded silently.

"Who exactly is she? Her background shouldn’t be small."

"You don’t know?" Liou Xueyan looked at Xu Yang in astonishment.

Xu Yang shook his head.

Liou Xueyan fell silent for a moment. He had dared to cooperate without even knowing who the other party was; she couldn’t help but admire Xu Yang’s audacity. However, at the very least, they had temporarily escaped Situ Ke’s demonic clutches. Falling into Situ Ke’s hands would be an absolutely awful fate.

"Hong Xiaoxing, she is..."
