"This core territory of the White Tiger clan is indeed extraordinary."

The air was filled with a rich spiritual energy, and wild, low-grade grasses and first-grade spiritual herbs grew everywhere in the mountains and forests.

Hidden within the mountains and forests seemed to be quite a few early-stage Tier 3 demonic beasts, who appeared to be monitoring the surrounding activity.

Lin Xiaofei glanced at it and muttered to himself.

Walking through the mountain forest, he saw that many hilltops were hiding early-stage third-tier demonic beasts, as well as a large number of second-tier demonic beasts.

These demonic beasts each patrolled a section of the mountain, seemingly observing the surrounding activity.

Not wanting to attract the attention of these demonic beasts, Lin Xiaofei directly released his mist domain. In a short while, layers upon layers of mist began to spread throughout the mountains and rivers.

The fog quickly enveloped a large area.

Lin Xiaofei himself walked through the mist, while the monsters did not understand where the mist came from, nor did they know that a figure was walking through the mountains.

This misty realm was a divine power he had cultivated to perfection.

Unless there is a fourth-tier demon king nearby, it is impossible for those second-tier and third-tier demon beasts to dispel his mist domain.

Therefore, he silently headed deeper into the territory of the White Tiger clan.

He traversed over thirty or forty mountains, walking through forests with a good concentration of spiritual energy, and saw many immature second-grade spiritual herbs along the way.

"The core territory of this White Tiger clan has a good environment, with a large number of wild first-grade spiritual herbs and some second-grade spiritual herbs growing there."

However, there's a group of second-tier demonic beasts guarding the vicinity of these second-grade spiritual herbs. If I were to pick them, it might attract the attention of those second-tier demonic beasts, and even alarm more of them.

Lin Xiaofei looked around at his surroundings and muttered to himself.

After entering the territory of the White Tiger Demon Clan, he did not rush to pick the second-grade spiritual herbs in the mountains and forests. He would only pick the second-grade spiritual herbs that were very close to him.

Within the territory of the White Tiger demon clan, he did not want to attract the attention of the demon beasts and planned to keep a low profile.

He muttered to himself, continuing to release his mist domain to prevent the mountain-guarding monsters from noticing him, and then continued deeper into the area.

As he ventured deeper, he noticed some changes in his surroundings; a faint, dark aura seemed to linger in the forest air.

He released a wisp of divine power, and a golden light floated up, colliding with the black aura.

Instantly, that wisp of divine consciousness rapidly withered. He sensed that the black aura possessed a corrosive ability, erasing that wisp of divine consciousness.

Lin Xiaofei felt a sense of oppression from that black aura.

However, by slightly releasing his own spiritual pressure, he isolated the black aura from his body, thus avoiding being affected by it.

After traversing hundreds of mountains again, Lin Xiaofei arrived at a mountaintop, stopped, and glanced around.

Looking into the distance, one could see a large number of demonic beasts fighting against a figure exuding a black aura on some distant mountain peaks.

"The black aura emanating from the air was actually coming from those demon warriors."

That black aura must be demonic energy.

A large amount of demonic energy drifted through the forest, and was absorbed by some trees and spiritual plants, causing some of the spiritual plants to wither.

The corrosive power of this demonic energy is incredibly strong.

Many second-grade spiritual herbs that grew in the mountain forests were destroyed in the battle between the demon and monster races, which is truly a pity.

Lin Xiaofei watched from afar as the battle between numerous demonic beasts and demons destroyed a large number of spiritual herbs growing in the mountains, and felt a pang of regret.

After gazing into the distance for a while without finding the location of the White Tiger clan's lair, he began to grope his way towards the battlefield.

As Lin Xiaofei traveled through the mountains and forests, he saw an area where mountains had collapsed, the earth had cracked, blood had flowed like rivers, and the corpses of monsters and demon warriors lay scattered about.

The spiritual herbs growing in the mountains and forests were also crushed into powder.

"The war between the demon race and the monster race resulted in the destruction of a large number of low-level spiritual herbs in the mountains and rivers, but that's not a big deal."

It's such a waste that so many second-grade spiritual herbs growing in the mountains were simply trampled and crushed.

Lin Xiaofei looked at the mountains and rivers, all of which were in ruins, with rivers of blood flowing everywhere, and the spiritual herbs growing in the forests destroyed. He felt a pang of emotion.

The territory of the demon race, with its thousands of mountains and rivers, was originally a land of abundant spiritual energy, where a large number of spiritual herbs grew. However, due to the invasion of the demon army, a large number of natural treasures were destroyed.

"Everywhere there was a scene of landslides, rivers of blood, fallen ancient trees, and utter devastation."

"To cause such destructive power, it would probably require at least forty or fifty cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, right?"

Lin Xiaofei traveled through the mountains and rivers, and at a glance, he was secretly amazed.

He thought about it and realized that with his current strength, it was impossible for him to destroy thousands of mountains and vast forests of spiritual plants in a short period of time.

"With thousands of mountains and rivers suffering such severe damage, it seems that the demon army may have already infiltrated the White Tiger clan."

I continued following the tracks of the battlefield, estimating that it wouldn't be long before I found the White Tiger clan's lair.

Lin Xiaofei pondered this and made some guesses.

Then, he moved quickly along the edge of the devastated battlefield, while observing the demons and monsters fighting in the distance.

At the same time, he continuously released mist domains, covering a certain area to effectively conceal his figure and avoid being discovered by the monsters and demons who were fighting.

...

"What's the situation of the battle over there?"

A sinister voice suddenly came from a ravine ahead. Lin Xiaofei was startled and quickly slowed his pace to hide himself.

Immediately afterwards, he heard footsteps coming from the woods on one side, so he quickly stepped into the spatial bead.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofei was already standing inside the spatial bead. Through the spatial bead, he saw a group of demon warriors rapidly approaching the mountain valley from the forest.

This group of demon warriors had bodies that were entirely black, covered with special patterns, and were tall and imposing, exuding a dark, demonic aura.

"A demon warrior?"

Lin Xiaofei muttered to himself as he watched a group of demon warriors rapidly approaching.

Among this group of demon warriors, there were five whose demonic energy was extremely dense and exuded a powerful aura, comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

After observing for a while, Lin Xiaofei made a simple judgment based on the concentration of demonic energy emanating from them.

In the mountain valley, the demonic cultivator sitting cross-legged on a boulder exuded a demonic aura comparable to that of a late-stage fourth-order demonic beast, which is equivalent to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm of a human cultivator.

The other four were comparable to early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, while the remaining demonic cultivators were all at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
