Chapter 36 – Discovered (Extra)
Chapter 36 – Discovered (Plus More)
It was only when Feng Yunhu got rid of the water ball that he came face to face with another rune seal.
Feng Yunhu’s figure slightly stalled, not knowing if he should dodge.
However, while it was hesitating, a thunderbolt blasted at its wound, while the Wind Cloud Tiger’s body was briefly paralyzed for a moment under the attack of the thunderbolt technique.
On the other hand, taking advantage of the gap ushered in by the Thunder Light Technique, Xu Chuniang executed the Spirit Explosion Technique at an extremely fast speed.
The sixteen tiny clusters of Exploding Spirit Qi had just appeared, and there was a feeling that they were about to break out of control.
Without hesitation, she took control of all the Exploding Spirit Qi and surged in the direction of Feng Yunhu, while her feet operated in the Spirit Void Steps and her figure retreated backwards.
“Boom!”
Sixteen clusters of Explosive Spiritual Qi erupted with a roar, and a large hole broke out on the Wind Cloud Tiger’s head, and it didn’t even have time to let out a wail before its body had already collapsed straight to the ground.
Xu Chuniang’s face was so pale that she couldn’t see a trace of blood color, her mind was also a little dizzy, experiencing such a high intensity battle, the loss of aura and spirit was great.
Only she didn’t dare to relax, when she exploded her aura just now, the commotion was too great, and she was afraid that she had already attracted the attention of others.
Xu Chuniang quickly stepped forward and put away the Wind Cloud Tiger.
After a moment’s thought, she stepped back a little, changed into a pair of intact clothes, hid herself in a tree, drank the spirit dew and began to meditate.
After luckily killing the Wind Cloud Tiger, Xu Chuniang’s entire body’s aura was close to being depleted, so even if she ran, she couldn’t run far.
It would be better to meditate in the same place, seize the time to recover as soon as possible, and with the aura, she could cope with all kinds of emergencies.
After half an incense stick of work, one of the closest squads was the first to arrive.
Xu Chuniang was afraid of exposing her tracks and paused her meditation.
She slowed down her breathing and performed the Hidden Spirit Decree to keep the aura pressure to a minimum.
After seeing the scene in a state of disarray, a look of gravity flashed across the eyes of the squad members.
At the head of the group was a male cultivator at the fifth level of Qi cultivation, who stepped forward to observe the bloodstains and twisted a smattering of hair from it, “It’s the hair of a cloud tiger.”
“The Cloud Tiger of Tiger Poyang Mountain usually doesn’t leave the mountain, why would this one appear here?”
“Just now we heard a roaring sound, maybe someone lured the Cloud Tiger out and a fight broke out with it here.
A cloud tiger is worth fifty to sixty spirit stones, tsk, that’s not a small amount.”
The lead male cultivator nodded, “To be able to fight with a cloud tiger, that group of people are at least at the fourth level of qi cultivation, or maybe even higher.
It’s just that we should have been the first to arrive, but we haven’t seen any sign of them, I’m afraid they’ve already left.”
He had some regrets, originally he wanted to come over to see if he could get a piece of the pie, but now it seemed like a wasted trip.
It was at this time that the second squad also arrived, the leader was a female cultivator at the fifth level of Qi Practicing.
She didn’t rush forward after arriving, but looked at this direction from afar. It seemed like she was just trying to figure out what had happened here.
Immediately afterward, several more squads rushed over, some watching from afar, some going up to take a closer look.
The teams that were able to reach this place were all very strong, with the leader having at least a cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Practicing.
It was just a pity that they seemed to have come a step too late, the battle had already ended.
These small teams were afraid of each other, seeing that they couldn’t see anything, it didn’t take long for them to leave again, and in the end, only the first team that came here was left.
“Chief, shall we leave as well?”
The leading male cultivator nodded and led the people away, soon the side of his figure disappeared into the forest.
After Xu Chuniang watched them leave, she didn’t take this opportunity to slip away, but prepared to continue meditating to recover.
The aura in her body had only recovered about half a percent, and she had to recover at least half of it before she could do so. However, before she could even begin to meditate, she saw that the lead male cultivator had unexpectedly returned!
Could it be that he had discovered his trail?
Xu Chuniang’s heart sank slightly, in addition to the leading male cultivator who was at the fifth level of Qi cultivation, there were also two cultivators at the fourth level of Qi cultivation and four cultivators at the third level of Qi cultivation in this group.
If they really found out, I’m afraid it wouldn’t be a good thing.
Just dealing with a Wind Cloud Tiger at the fifth level of Qi Practicing had cost her a lot of effort, not to mention a team of cultivators at the fifth level of Qi Practicing, especially since she had very little spiritual energy now.
Xu Chuniang’s greatest worry still happened as the leading male cultivator walked towards her hiding place.
She took a deep breath and prepared herself to activate her Sprinting Technique at any time and execute her Spirit Void Steps to escape.
However, when he was still some distance away from her hiding place, the leading male cultivator stopped approaching and spoke in a deep voice.
“Little Taoist friend of the first level of Qi cultivation, come out. I want to ask you something, as long as you can answer truthfully, I won’t make things difficult for you.”
Xu Chuniang was stunned, only reacting with hindsight that he was talking about himself.
In order to avoid exposure, she had executed the Hidden Spirit Decision to suppress her aura to the extreme, revealing to the outside world that her cultivation was only at the first level of Qi Practicing.
This person might have some kind of probing means and discovered her trail.
Xu Chuniang’s thoughts turned sharply, this person was afraid that he had discovered her from the very beginning, and the reason why he kept it quiet was that he didn’t want other people to know about her existence.
And what he wanted to ask might have something to do with Feng Yunhu.
After waiting for a few moments without waiting for a reply, the leading male cultivator’s face revealed a look of impatience.
A tall cultivator beside him sneered and threatened in a loud voice, “I say this Qi practicing first layer little brat, my oldest calling you a daoyou is to give you face, if you don’t come down, I can’t guarantee that I’ll have to do something about it.”
Xu Chuniang took a deep breath and quickly hid her storage pouch and top-grade sprinting talisman into her shoes.
Since they were able to discover that she was hiding over here, it was only a matter of time before they found her.
Just as well, she would show her face first to see what exactly they were going to ask, and if there was anything wrong, she could also inspire the Sprinting Talisman to leave at the first opportunity.
“You guys don’t make a move, whatever you want to ask you guys just ask.”
Xu Chuniang made a trembling appearance, carefully revealing her figure from the tree, “It’s just that I don’t want to come down, there are so many of you, I’m scared.”
Since they thought she was only at the first level of qi cultivation, she acted like she was, which would also make them relax their guard.
The taller male cultivator showed dissatisfaction and was about to say something, but was stopped by the leading male cultivator.
He stared at Xu Chuniang, “I’m asking you, have you been hiding in the trees, have you seen any people or demonic beasts?”
“A tiger, a good-sized tiger.” Xu Chuniang swallowed a mouthful of water, her eyes revealing a look of horror.
“Only a tiger? Can you see a human?”
The lead male cultivator noticed that his tone was too eager and slowed down his voice, “If you tell me, I won’t hurt you.”
Xu Chuniang furrowed her brows and made a face of reminiscence, but in reality, she was making it up now.
“Someone, that person fought with the tiger. I only saw the tiger get killed, and then the man left.”
The leading male cultivator keenly spotted the key information, “Only one person? What was that person’s cultivation level, what kind of clothes did he wear, and in which direction did he go?”
“That person wore green colored clothes and his cultivation was terrifying, as terrifying as that tiger. After he killed the tiger, he went down the mountain, and then you guys came.”
Xu Chuniang laughed coldly in the bottom of her heart, this group of people wanted the Cloud Tiger but didn’t dare to go up to Tiger Poyang Mountain, but instead, they were hitting on the idea of robbing it.
If they were to really do this unkind thing, then don’t blame her for being unrighteous.
Thank you for the reward from fellow Daoist Huang Yue Ping, as well as the monthly votes from fellow Daoist Jasper Yu, for the extra work!
