Buzz!
Han Xuanji's mind stirred, and he gently swung his blade.
A terrifying power erupted on the spot, its force piercing through the Void Realm, slicing through space, extremely dreadful.
The characteristic of the White Tiger Blade was its ability to tear through space, possessing extremely strong penetration and destructive effects against Magic Treasures, shields, Formations, and the like.
"Not bad!"
Han Xuanji's expression was one of satisfaction.
Up until now, among the many Divine Weapons and Magic Treasures Han Xuanji had acquired, perhaps only two Immortal Artifacts could barely compare.
While the two Immortal Swords were more convenient to use, this White Tiger Blade was so powerful that even he, its master, found it difficult to control.
Of course, ultimately, it was because his cultivation Realm was still a bit low.
"It counts as an extra trump card now."
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, playing with the White Tiger Blade, thinking to himself.
If it were anyone else, even a Body Integration Realm expert who obtained the White Tiger Blade would have to use it cautiously, otherwise, they could easily be influenced by the weapon.
After all, this was a Demonic Blade, capable of bewitching hearts and influencing the master's Divine Soul to fall into the Demonic Path.
However, as a System product, it naturally came with good service; this weapon had already recognized Han Xuanji as its master and would not cause any negative effects to him.
As for Little White Tiger beside him, upon seeing this Demonic Blade, it instinctively felt a bit of fear, but it wasn't affected much.
It was a little curious where its master got so many treasures.
"Could it be... that Master is actually a descendant of a great figure from the Immortal Realm, who came to this Spirit Realm for experience?"
Little White Tiger's thoughts wandered, and the more it thought, the more accurate its guess seemed.
"If that's the case, as long as I stick with Master, my future is boundless!"
"Hehehe."
Watching Little White Tiger giggle foolishly, its whole body flipped over.
Han Xuanji glanced at it and said:
"Three years have passed; it's time to go."
The Opportunity here was exhausted; staying longer would be of no great use.
Not only could he not sign in, but the Evil Qi energy here had also thinned out considerably, offering no further help to them. It was better to return to Shenxuan Sect.
"Alright!"
Seeing its master stand up, Little White Tiger lightly leaped onto his shoulder, its fluffy tail naturally coiling around his neck like a warm scarf.
Han Xuanji took a step, and space rippled; one person and one tiger had already passed through the rift, returning to the secluded valley deep within the Tianyou Mountain Range.
The scene inside the valley was vastly different from three years ago.
The huge pit created by the tribulation lightning had been eroded by wind and rain, with tenacious black moss growing along its edges.
However, the Gengjin Evil Qi permeating the air had not dissipated; instead, it was even denser than before, subtly drawing on the earth's veins, causing Evil Qi from hundreds of miles around to converge into this valley.
Outside the valley, the once desolate mountain forest was now filled with various roars—some Yao Beasts, nourished by the dense Evil Qi, had become exceptionally ferocious and violent, posing a major threat deep within the Tianyou Mountain Range.
"It should be due to the Undergoing Tribulation..."
Han Xuanji paid no mind to it, walking towards the outer reaches of the mountain range with Little White Tiger, as if taking a leisurely stroll.
Little White Tiger lay on his shoulder, yawning contentedly, not even bothering to lift its eyelids, subtly revealing its stark white, sharp tiger fangs. The surrounding Evil Yao Beasts, intimidated by its invisibly radiating terrifying pressure, dared not approach.
However, when Han Xuanji instinctively used his Cave Void Divine Eye, in just a brief moment, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, a hint of displeasure appearing in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
Little White Tiger keenly sensed that Han Xuanji seemed a little angry and asked.
Han Xuanji looked up towards a direction not far away and sighed, saying:
"There are always people trying to harm me..."
Hearing Han Xuanji's words, Little White Tiger also perked up, seemingly sensing a dangerous aura.
"I'd like to see who it is."
Han Xuanji indicated that although he was cautious, he was not a coward.
If they insisted on seeking death, he would grant their wish.
At this moment, outside the Tianyou Mountain Range.
"Several years ago, that Tiger Yao Beast seemed to have hidden in the Tianyou Mountain Range. Not long ago, after it triggered a celestial phenomenon, its aura disappeared, most likely due to some Opportunity."
A man wearing a purple turban spoke.
"If we can subdue this Yao Beast to be our Sect's Divine Beast, it will surely elevate our Yu Yao Sect to the next level."
Hearing this, the remaining people's eyes immediately lit up:
"Vice Sect Master, with you here, you will surely subdue this Yao Beast. When that happens, the next Sect Master will undoubtedly be you!"
"That Tiger Yao Beast's strength is considerable. If it escapes, it will be troublesome."
Someone couldn't help but worry.
"Don't panic."
The man in the purple turban said indifferently.
"But I heard that this Tiger Yao Beast has the Bloodline of a White Tiger and is extremely powerful. Even when the Sect Master and several Elders teamed up, they couldn't subdue it, and no one even stopped it from escaping. The Sect Master was also seriously injured in that battle... If it Breaks Through its Realm, we might not be able to take it down."
One person couldn't help but say.
The man in the purple turban remained confident, explaining:
"Don't be afraid, I invited..."
Before he could finish speaking, a jade token at his waist flashed with light.
"Hmph, found them."
.....
On the other side.
Little White Tiger also recounted what happened before it came to the Tianyou Mountain Range.
"Master, it might be because of me... I previously shed some fur..."
"Before, I was always in another space, so they couldn't track me, but now that I'm out, I've been exposed."
"In that case, these people must be dealt with..."
Han Xuanji said indifferently, unconcerned.
Thinking of this, Han Xuanji no longer concealed his aura. The moment they were about to step out of the core area of the Tianyou Mountain Range.
Dozens of figures descended from the sky, all uniformly dressed in the Yu Yao Sect's distinctive Myriad Beast Robes. The lowest cultivation Realm was Late Stage Nascent Soul, and there were even seven Soul Transformation Elders with profound auras!
The leader, wearing a purple turban, had an aura that had reached the Peak of Soul Transformation. He was none other than the Vice Sect Master of the Yu Yao Sect—Chou Qianli!
"Hahaha! Evil creature! As expected, you were hiding here!"
Chou Qianli laughed wildly, his eyes flashing with greed and ecstasy.
"This Tiger Yao Beast harms living beings and causes trouble. Please leave, Fellow Daoist."
An Elder of the Yu Yao Sect saw one person and one tiger, his eyes flickering, and immediately shouted loudly.
"Yu Yao Sect? Heh heh, what a grand display of power!"
A hint of disdain flashed in Han Xuanji's eyes.
He had heard of the Yu Yao Sect; it was the overlord Sect of Youzhou, and its strength was naturally not weak.
But in Han Xuanji's view, it was merely not weak; it was far weaker than Sects like Shenxuan Sect and Heavenly Demon Sect, which had Legacies spanning countless years.
After all, Shenxuan Sect could be said to be a well-known Sect throughout the entire Eastern Cang Continent, while Yu Yao Sect was only the overlord of Daxia's Youzhou, with the strongest Cultivator within the Sect being merely at the Returning to Void Realm.
Han Xuanji had already stepped into the Returning to Void Realm, so he naturally had no fear.
"I don't know where the Tiger Yao Beast you speak of is."
Han Xuanji sneered.
Seeing Han Xuanji's defiant stance, the Yu Yao Sect Elder's eyes immediately turned unfriendly, and his cultivation Realm instantly surged, wanting to teach him a lesson.
However, Chou Qianli raised a hand to stop him, narrowing his eyes slightly, sizing up Han Xuanji, then spoke with a forced smile:
"I am Chou Qianli, Vice Sect Master of the Yu Yao Sect. May I know Your Excellency's name?"
Han Xuanji said indifferently:
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that you should leave. This Tiger Yao Beast is not the one you are looking for."
A sharp glint flashed in Chou Qianli's eyes, but he still said:
"This Tiger Yao Beast has long been eyed by our Yu Yao Sect. Can Your Excellency part with it?"
Upon hearing this, Little White Tiger's heart skipped a beat, and it quickly hissed:
"Go to hell! What do you mean 'eyed by your Yu Yao Sect'? How shameless! I've also eyed your mother; do you want to send her over for this Tiger Grandfather to wash her feet?"
"So, we can't come to an agreement?"
Chou Qianli suppressed his anger. He couldn't discern Han Xuanji's specific cultivation Realm, and even the Tiger Yao Beast's aura seemed much stronger than rumored.
He had been speaking these pointless words precisely to stall for time.
Now that the time was ripe, he stopped pretending.
"I must say, you have a lot of courage. I hope your strength is just as unyielding."
A smile appeared at the corner of Chou Qianli's mouth, and he clapped his hands.
"Buzz—!"
A dull hum suddenly resounded!
Nine pitch-black chains, thick as several people embracing, inscribed with dense blood-colored runes, shot out from all directions without warning!
The tips of the chains were vicious barbs, exuding an evil aura that could bind Divine Souls and defile Yao power. Their speed was like lightning, instantly weaving into a giant net that blotted out the sky, descending directly upon Han Xuanji, and especially the Little White Tiger on his shoulder!
Locking Demon Chains!
One of the Yu Yao Sect's Guardian Magic Treasures!
