The three sects, Jade Cloud Pavilion, Heavenly Sword Sect, and Azure Sea Pavilion, did not leave; they were all focused on Liu Xiaoyuan.
Because the elders of these three sects all chose to believe in Liu Xiaoyuan, feeling that following Liu Xiaoyuan was the greatest guarantee.
The elder of Yuxiao Pavilion is Yang Xin'er. Because of the relationship between Yang Xin'er and Liu Xiaoyuan, Yang Xin'er stays with Liu Xiaoyuan, which is something Liu Xiaoyuan can understand.
The fact that the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Azure Sea Pavilion didn't leave puzzled Liu Xiaoyuan, as he wasn't familiar with the elders of either sect.
In fact, the reason why the elders of Tianjian Sect and Bihai Pavilion chose to follow Liu Xiaoyuan was because one of their disciples had an unusual relationship with Liu Xiaoyuan.
In addition, Liu Xiaoyuan's actions in the Loess Plateau environment just now deeply moved them.
Furthermore, Liu Xiaoyuan single-handedly subdued the culprit behind the extreme heat of the Loess Plateau, which gave them a sense of security when they followed him.
Liu Xiaoyuan had no objection to the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Azure Sea Pavilion following him. As the saying goes, many hands make light work, and if they really encountered any danger, it would be easier to resist if there were more people.
"Let's go, let's try our luck," Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, and then the group flew off in one of the directions.
After flying for nearly a hundred miles, the oasis still stretched as far as the eye could see.
To be honest, what Liu Xiaoyuan found strange was how these grasses could grow without sunlight. This puzzled him greatly.
"Xiao Yuan, look! There's a grove of trees ahead!" Chen Qiaoling shouted, pointing to a small grove of trees in front of them.
Because all we encountered in the oasis before was endless grassland, and we had never seen any forests.
Seeing a grove of trees suddenly appear in this grassland is particularly striking, like a man with long hair standing out among a group of bald men.
"How could a forest suddenly appear here? That's strange." Seeing a forest suddenly appear in the middle of this plain, Liu Xiaoyuan felt that this was not normal at all.
"Should we go take a look?" Gu Yuxi asked Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan thought for a moment and said, "Alright, let's go and see what's so strange about this forest."
So, the group carefully approached the edge of the woods, where they saw that the trees were all tall and strong, providing ample shade and lush foliage!
"Let's go." Liu Xiaoyuan used his divine sense to probe inside, but found no danger, so he led everyone inside.
Once inside, Liu Xiaoyuan said to everyone, "Everyone be careful, don't get separated, stay close together."
Even if Liu Xiaoyuan hadn't said it, everyone would have known what to do. In this kind of environment, if they still separated, they would be courting death and wouldn't be able to blame anyone else.
Chen Qiaoling and Gu Yuxi both clung tightly to Liu Xiaoyuan, appearing petite and dependent, trying to appear more feminine and needing his protection.
"Xiao Yuan, look what that is?" Chen Qiaoling pointed ahead, and there in the darkness ahead were two red, lantern-like objects that looked like eyes floating in mid-air.
Liu Xiaoyuan also spotted the object. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the eyes of an animal, each eye as large as an adult's fist, indicating just how big the animal was.
Moreover, this animal blends completely into the darkness and is impossible to spot. If the animal were to close its eyes, Liu Xiaoyuan and his companions might not even be able to detect the monster's existence.
"Everyone be careful!" Upon suddenly encountering such an animal in the woods, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately warned everyone to be on guard.
"Roar!" As soon as Liu Xiaoyuan finished speaking, the monster with blood-red eyes roared, a roar that nearly deafened the cultivators present.
The leaves on the trees fell to the ground immediately after the roar, demonstrating the power of the sound.
It sounded like a tiger's roar, Liu Xiaoyuan thought.
Upon hearing the roar, everyone retreated, for no one dared to make a move until they ascertained the monster's identity.
As the roaring stopped, a thud was heard on the ground, as if a massive animal weighing tens of tons had stomped on it, making the ground tremble.
After the monster emerged, Liu Xiaoyuan could finally see that its entire body was covered in black fur, except for its eyes. No wonder it could hide in the darkness.
The place where the monster was just now was inside a huge cave, and the monster flew out of the cave.
"Roar!" The monster roared again, driving Liu Xiaoyuan and the others away as if urging them to leave quickly.
“This is a Xuanjia Tiger. It is said that there are good things in the places guarded by Xuanjia Tigers.” Yang Xin’er immediately recognized the monster’s identity.
A Xuanjia Tiger? No wonder its roar sounds so much like a tiger. Looking at the monster's appearance, apart from its enormous size, it really does resemble a tiger.
However, the teeth and claws of the Xuanjia Tiger were many times longer than those of an ordinary tiger, making it look exceptionally fierce.
“Yes, this is the Xuanjia Tiger!” The elder of Bihai Pavilion nodded and said, “The Xuanjia Tiger usually subdues rare and precious medicinal herbs. Could there be some medicinal herbs in this mountain forest?”
Liu Xiaoyuan was completely unfamiliar with this so-called Xuanjia Tiger, and asked, "Is this Xuanjia Tiger easy to deal with?"
Yang Xin'er immediately explained, "As the name suggests, the Xuanjia Tiger has a thick layer of armor all over its body, making it impervious to blades and spears, and its defensive capabilities are truly astonishing."
After hearing Yang Xin'er's explanation, Liu Xiaoyuan understood that the Xuanjia Tiger was a defensive fighter.
However, Yang Xin'er continued, "This Xuanjia Tiger not only has amazing defensive capabilities, but it is also extremely aggressive. If you are caught by its claws or teeth, even a cultivator will be seriously injured if not killed."
Wow, this Xuanjia Tiger is a monster that can both attack and defend; it seems it shouldn't be underestimated.
"If all of us cultivators attack together, can we eliminate this Xuanjia Tiger?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked Yang Xin'er.
I don't know much about the Xuanjia Tiger, so I need to learn some information from Yang Xin'er.
Yang Xin'er said, "We should be able to handle this Xuanjia Tiger, but everyone should be careful when dealing with it, and avoid getting hurt when it goes berserk." Yang Xin'er said to her disciples of Yuxiao Pavilion.
"There's no time to lose, let's kill this beast now so it can stop swaggering around here," Liu Xiaoyuan said loudly. Since they could defeat this black-armored tiger, there was nothing to be afraid of.
