Chapter 132: The Martial Arts Family Clan in the Hundred Thousand Mountains

In the depths of the forest in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

A magnificent ancient building complex was hidden in the clouds.

In the loft, two green-robed elders were enjoying tea and playing chess.

At this moment, a youth ran over.

The youth said respectfully, “Elders, the Intelligence Hall just sent news. There were explosions and gunshots at Mountain Qi.”

The two old men’s countenance remained unchanged. One of them said indifferently, “Tsk tsk tsk! Who’s the unlucky sucker this time.”

“Should we send someone to take a look? After all, theve have firearms. It will be troublesome if a fire starts,” said the youth.

The elder said, “Sure. It’s our clan’s territory after all. If a fire really starts, the losses will be quite significant.”

“Oh right, tell the people who are going to be careful. The Tiger King has been rather hot-tempered recently. He probably failed in his courtship and fell out of love.”

“Yes!”

…

Mountain Qi, halfway up the mountain.

The giant tiger wailed before collapsing.

There was a huge bloody hole in its abdomen.

Jiang Guihua wiped the sweat off her forehead. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the dead tiger.

When she thought back to the battle, she felt it was genuinely thrilling.

Despite its size, the tiger was extremely agile.

Fortunately, it had been taken care of.

“Let’s recover our True Qi first.”

The spiritual energy in the Hundred Thousand Mountains was slightly denser than outside, but it was still impossible to truly reach the level required for cultivation.

Two hours later, most of their True Qi had recovered.

Everyone stood up and started examining the huge tiger curiously.

“What kind of tiger is this? How is it so big?”

“The spiritual energy here is much richer than that of the city. It’s not strange that it’s got so big,” someone added.

“What should we do with it now?”

Someone offered, “Tiger meat is a great supplement. In ancient times, only emperors could afford it.

“Especially the nether regions; it enhances one’s Yang very well. Handling a myriad of state affairs every day is no problem at all.

“Why don’t we give it to Sect Master? He will definitely like it.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up.

They all felt that this suggestion was wonderful.

Thus, Jiang Guihua put the huge tiger into her storage bag.

The space inside the storage bag was about 50 square meters.

Originally, it was more than enough to store the Moonlight Fruits, but the space was a little too small for the fruits and the tiger.

She just squeezed everything in.

After that, Jiang Guihua and the others continued digging for the Moonlight Fruits.

Since the second area they had been was destroyed by Mike, they could only move to the next one.

…

Night.

In the jungle, shadows were moving quickly.

“Stop!”

“Mountain Qi is right ahead. Don’t alarm the Tiger King, everyone, slow down and don’t make any loud noises.”

The people were from a martial arts family clan that lived in seclusion within the Hundred Thousand Mountains—the Li Clan.

There were a total of 36 martial arts families living in seclusion here.

The 36 families had cut out their areas and managed them separately. They were similar to the ancient vassal states.

The Li clan owned hundreds of thousands of territories, and Mountain Qi belonged to them.

Seven people came to investigate the potential fire.

One of them was a Grandmaster, while the other six were either second-rate or first-rate martial artists.

Under the moonlight, they moved carefully towards Mountain Qi.

Soon they came to a corner of the valley that Mike and company had blown up.

They stopped to examine the area, closely watching for open fires that could demolish the whole mountain.

Ten minutes later.

“Uncle Zhonghui, I didn’t notice anything dangerous.”

“Uncle Zhonghui, me neither.”

“Uncle Zhonghui, it’s the same here.”

…

Li Zhonghui asked in a low voice, “Have you checked carefully?”

“We’ve checked three or four times. We’re sure there’s no fire.”

Everyone sounded very certain, so Li Zhonghui stopped asking.

“Alright, in the next area, we might encounter the Tiger King.

“I don’t need to tell you how terrifying Tiger King is.”

Therefore, don’t act without my permission, “Li Zhonghui said very seriously.

“Understood!”

Just like that, they advanced towards the top of the valley.

They were afraid of alerting the Tiger King, so they walked slowly—taking more than an hour to reach the mountainside.

Under the moonlight, they saw the large craters on the ground in front of them. It was as though they had been devastated by a meteor shower.

Li Zhonghui and the others were shocked.

They could tell that the craters weren’t bomb pits. They seemed more man-made.

It seemed as though a club crushed the ground. They couldn’t even imagine how much strength it would take to create the craters that were at least five meters in diameter.

Li Zhonghui didn’t even think a Transcendent realm expert would be able to do it. At the very least, he thought it would take a Connate expert.

But… there are so many huge pits here, and they are all new. A Connate expert can’t do this alone. It would take at least five of them.

At this thought, Li Zhonghui’s expression became particularly grave.

He clearly knew how strong a Connate Realm expert was.

His entire family clan had less than 10 Connate Experts, but there were at least five in this location.

If there were Connate experts had appeared, then the Tiger King…

While he was in thought, someone suddenly came to Li Zhonghui’s side.

“Uncle Zhonghui, there’s something over there.”

Li Zhonghui immediately walked over.

All he saw were mutilated corpses scattered everywhere. They had died extremely tragically.

These people were Mike’s group.

Mike’s body was still relatively intact because he’d cut himself in half.

When they saw the corpses, Li Zhonghui understood that these foreigners caused the explosions.

“Uncle Zhonghui, how should we deal with these corpses?”

“Burn them.”

While they were preparing the firewood, Li Zhonghui wandered around, seemingly searching for something.

Suddenly, he stopped in front of a large frozen pool of blood.

There were some bits of flesh around the pool

Li Zhonghui picked up a piece of flesh and pinched it. He suddenly froze.

He turned on his flashlight immediately and took out a water bottle. He poured water out and washed the flesh.

Under the illumination of the light, the flesh revealed its true appearance.

Li Zhonghui’s eyes were flashing. Then, he said with a frown, “It really is the Tiger King’s flesh.”

Li Zhonghui felt like the Tiger King had met with a bad end when he deduced that the pits were made by a Connate expert.

Now, with evidence was in front of him, he thought that the Tiger King was most likely dead.

Without the Tiger King, the family clan’s territory…

Li Zhonghui’s expression became particularly grave, and he even looked a bit panicked.

“Ji Ce, Ji Ming, you guys stay here. I have something important to report back to the clan.”

With that, Li Zhonghui left in a hurry.

…

At 2 AM, the higher-ups of the Li family clan called for an emergency meeting.

At dawn, a group from the Li family clan arrived at Mountain Qi.

In the corner of the valley not far from Mountain Qi, Jiang Guihua and company worked overtime through the night. They had finally finished collecting all the Moonlight Fruits.

Now, all they had to do was wait for Qin Chuan to return.

In the evening, a figure flew through the air under the setting sun.
