Chapter 1703: Besieging the Golden Spirit Cloud Tiger

“Human nature!”

Seeing that as soon as he left, everyone was again fighting fiercely over a medicinal herb, Zhang Xuan looked pained. “Treasures are truly harmful things. The Confucius Temple ruins are so dangerous, yet these people, instead of uniting, fight and kill—how disgraceful!”

“Roar!”

The Red-Forehead White Tiger nodded.

“Well, to prevent them from fighting and to promote unity, I’ve decided to first collect all the treasures around here. With no good stuff left, they won’t have anything to fight over!”

Sitting on the tiger’s back, Zhang Xuan’s face radiated a holy light.

The Red-Forehead White Tiger was about to nod when it suddenly understood and froze, its head tilting: “Roar???”

To describe looting so righteously—this new master of his was too shameless!

Where was his face?

“Alright, you know the terrain and are fast. Take me to find any powerful treasures nearby!” Ignoring its shock, Zhang Xuan commanded with an air of righteousness.

“Roar!” Knowing his master had made up his mind and argument was useless, the Red-Forehead White Tiger had no choice but to comply and sped forward.

Indeed, the creature was very familiar with the terrain. Under its guidance, many hidden herbs and special ores were easily found, making treasure hunting many times faster than doing it alone.

In less than two hours, he had collected all the good things within a radius of several hundred kilometers.

There were herbs that had lived for tens of thousands of years, and ores rare on the Master Teacher Continent. Along the way, he also tamed five more sacred beasts to help search.

With the treasures gone, the various alliances that had been fighting indeed ceased their conflicts.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan was satisfied. He then led the six sacred beasts and swaggered toward the direction of the Golden Spirit Cloud Tiger.

Fearing that the Red-Forehead White Tiger might say something wrong, he carefully questioned the newly tamed sacred beasts. All gave the same answer: the Golden Spirit Cloud Tiger was indeed the king of this forest. Only then did Zhang Xuan relax.

“You all hide first. When I need you, I’ll call you out at once!”

After walking for half an hour, seeing they were close, Zhang Xuan grabbed and stored all six sacred beasts into his folded space.

Sacred beasts at the Consummation of the Immortality Realm were more fearsome than master teachers of the same level. Even with his great progress, defeating one might not be possible!

Thus, taming so many sacred beasts, though seemingly casual, was actually preparing a trump card!

If he truly couldn’t win, releasing all these creatures at once could at least delay a peak Immortality Realm expert for a moment.

Then he could use stronger means to kill them in one blow.

After storing the sacred beasts, he shook his body, concealed himself among the tall grass and trees, and dashed straight toward the location the beast pets had indicated.

Before reaching the cave of the Golden Spirit Cloud Tiger, he heard footsteps ahead. He lightly leaped onto a tree branch and looked through the leaves.

Eight people were moving slowly ahead, each holding weapons, their faces full of vigilance.

“At the very least, they’re all peak Heart’s Blood Boiling experts, and there’s even a peak Immortality Realm expert… It seems they also know about the Golden Spirit Cloud Tiger and want to kill it…”

His eyes flickered as Zhang Xuan understood.

If he could think of capturing the strongest sacred beast to ask about the Confucius Temple, others could too.

Although this place was suitable for cultivation and rich in treasures, who wouldn’t want to find the Confucius Temple upon entering?

That was where the greatest opportunity lay!

“Who’s there?”

Just as he was marveling that the heroes of the world were not to be underestimated, the peak Immortality Realm expert at the front turned to look in his direction.

He had sensed something earlier; though only a trace of his aura had leaked, it was still detected.

“I’m just passing through…”

No longer hiding, Zhang Xuan smiled awkwardly and walked over.

“A master teacher?” The leading Immortality Realm expert was an old man in his sixties, with a dignified brow.

“Yes.”

Seeing that among them were people wearing master teacher robes, Zhang Xuan didn’t deny it.

“I am Wu Changping, Supreme Elder of the Beast Tamer Guild. I am determined to get the sacred beast ahead. I hope you won’t interfere!” The old man Wu Changping raised an eyebrow and said.

“I… won’t interfere. May I watch from here?”

Since they had arrived first, he didn’t want to take what others loved, so Zhang Xuan said.

He only wanted to ask the Golden Spirit Cloud Tiger the exact location of the Confucius Temple. Once he knew the location, he could use the Transmission Mother Talisman to find the specific spot.

“Leave immediately, or don’t blame us for being rude!”

Seeing that he wanted to watch, a middle-aged man raised an eyebrow and snorted.

“Leave?”

“That’s right. This sacred beast is already claimed by us. If you want one, find another!” Wu Changping waved his hand, his tone also unfriendly.

“I’ll go now…”

Seeing that they didn’t welcome him, Zhang Xuan was helpless and turned to leave.

Once out of their sight, he lightly tapped his finger to seal the surrounding space and sneaked back.

“In my opinion, we should have just killed that guy. Why waste words? This isn’t the Master Teacher Continent; we don’t have to follow so many rules!”

The middle-aged man who had scolded him earlier spoke up.

“Killing a master teacher here is no big deal, but alarming the Cloud Tiger would be trouble… This big fellow is the king of the area, battle-hardened, and extremely alert. We must be careful and succeed in one go!”

Wu Changping said.

“Yes!”

The middle-aged man nodded and asked doubtfully, “It’s been long enough since we put that thing in the cave. This big fellow should be knocked out by now, right?”

“Normally, it should be unconscious, but according to our information, this Cloud Tiger is naturally powerful. We can’t let our guard down. Let’s wait a bit longer…”

Wu Changping said.

“Mm.”

Everyone followed his lead. Hearing this, they stopped talking and quietly hid in the jungle, holding their breath.

“Alright, let’s go in and check!”

After about ten more minutes, Wu Changping snorted and waved his hand.

At his words, the middle-aged man who had spoken earlier darted out and silently moved toward the cave.

Had he not acted, they wouldn’t have noticed—this middle-aged man was also at the Immortality Realm!

However, he was only at the initial stage.

Even so, such strength would certainly have a great reputation on the Master Teacher Continent.

The Dream-Shattering Sword Saint was only at the same level.

Whoosh!

The middle-aged man entered the cave.

Boom!

As soon as he entered, a loud crash was heard, and he flew back out even faster, breaking several trees in a row with his back before stopping, spitting blood continuously.

“Damn, it didn’t fall for the trap. We’ll have to fight it head-on. Attack!”

Seeing this, Wu Changping understood immediately. He shouted and charged forward first.

Rustle!

Everyone gathered at the cave entrance. As soon as they stood firm, the ground shook continuously, and a huge sacred beast slowly walked out.
