Outside Yunfu Mountain, a yellow taxi slowly stopped in front of the mountain.

Shen Yuan took Bai Xue out of the car and closed the door. The driver stepped on the accelerator with a nervous look and quickly disappeared on the rugged road.

Shen Yuan was not surprised by the driver's attitude, because this place was close to the territory of Yunfu Mountain. If he was unlucky and ran into the monsters traveling, it would be no joke.

During the more than one month that Shen Yuan practiced in seclusion, the tide of spiritual energy became more and more intense, and even monsters began to appear in the lives of ordinary people.

At first, humans were more curious about the monsters than afraid of them. Many people seized on people’s curiosity, and a large number of monsters began to appear on various video platforms. Some internet celebrity companies even signed contracts with the monsters and launched live streaming to sell goods.

This move directly ignited the public's enthusiasm for the Yaozu, and the Yaozu achieved huge success in selling goods, allowing the internet celebrity company to make a fortune and become the darling of the live broadcast industry.

As a result, the boss of that company habitually exploited his employees and used contracts to force the demons to work 996. Eventually, the demons became furious and killed the boss on live broadcast, then fled all the way to Yunfu Mountain.

This incident caused a huge uproar. While making people have a clearer understanding of the demon clan, it also brought Yunfu Mountain, an area under the jurisdiction of the demon clan, into people's vision.

Shen Yuan practiced hard for more than a month, and during this time he did not pay attention to the content on the Internet, so he knew very little about this information. Even this piece of news involving Yunfu Mountain was told to him by the driver just now.

Following the driver's suggestion, Shen Yuan searched for related news, but when he saw the demon who chose to resist, a strange emotion arose in his heart.

Because the monster that was exploited while live streaming and eventually killed its boss and fled to Yunfu Mountain was actually a giant panda.

There is no such thing as a national treasure for Daxia animals, so even the giant panda could be pulled in to promote the goods, which ultimately led to this ridiculous farce.

“It was agreed that bear people will never be slaves unless they are provided with food and shelter?

Or is being exploited by capitalists worse than being a slave? "

The panda's experience is indeed sympathetic, but this incident has indeed brought huge negative impacts.

All videos and products related to demons are banned. Coupled with the frequent reports of demons attacking humans, ordinary people should stay away from demons, so it is normal to feel fear of them.

Looking around, the driver realized that this place was close to Yunfu Mountain.

There are large tracts of dense jungles all around, with only one rugged road running through the jungle and extending deep into the mountains.

“Mee~!”

Bai Xue, who had not gone out for more than a month, squatted obediently on Shen Yuan's shoulder, looking around happily, her pair of large heterochromatic eyes full of curiosity.

However, Shen Yuan's team this time was missing another fierce and powerful big cat.

The Maine Coon cat had chosen to leave a month ago. It originally stayed with Shen Yuan just to take care of Snow White and ensure that Snow White would not be harmed.

After interacting with Shen Yuan for a period of time, the Maine Coon cat was reassured by Shen Yuan's protection of Bai Xue, so he chose to return to the mountains with peace of mind.

Shen Yuan respected the Maine Coon's choice and did not try to persuade it to stay, even Bai Xue, who was closest to the Maine Coon, did the same.

The Maine Coon has the heritage of the tiger clan and is destined to become the demon king of the roaring tiger forest, rather than staying in Shen Yuan and becoming a mount.

As for a certain salted fish in the family, since it is still in the growth stage and needs the natural spirit pool to supply spiritual energy for growth, and it is inconvenient for him to move because he has not yet transformed, Shen Yuan did not take him with him.

This time when he went to Yunfu Mountain, Shen Yuan only brought Bai Xue with him.

Shen Yuan spotted the way up the mountain, and the magic power in his body flowed through the mountains and forests as he flew into the air, as if turning into a breeze that blended into the mountains and forests.

This was an unexpected gain from Shen Yuan's time and effort in organizing ancient books over the past month and a half.

Among the numerous cultivation classics, there is a book titled “General Outline of Basic Spells”, which records many basic spells that can only be cast after one has derived magic power from the Qi Transformation Realm.

For example, there are many basic spells such as the Cleansing Clothes Technique, the Fire-Starting Technique, the Flying Technique, the Essence Shield, etc., and the Flying Technique that Shen Yuan uses to fly in the air is one of them.

Although these spells are already commonplace in the entire cultivation world, and many of them have even been eliminated by the times, they are rare treasures for Shen Yuan, who has no foundation in magic at all.

This makes up for the fact that Shen Yuan has no other magical means besides the art of attack.

For example, the art of flying is to use magic power to control the breeze, so as to achieve a short-term state of levitation.

Although it cannot completely fly, it saves mana and has a pretty good speed.

Among all the spells, in addition to the air-controlling spell that Shen Yuan valued the most, another spell called the breath-concealing spell aroused Shen Yuan's curiosity.

This spell can conceal one's cultivation level. When practiced to a high level, it can even hide fluctuations in mana, making it impossible for the opponent to detect any traces of the spell, thereby gaining a certain advantage in battle.

This spell is quite practical. The only difficulty may be that it is hard to get started, but Shen Yuan does not have this concern.

In the process of trying to practice, Shen Yuan finally realized the power of the Sage Enlightenment Array in terms of magic.

In the past, Shen Yuan needed to ponder deeply to understand the secrets of cultivation, but now he could easily grasp them with just a little thought. In the process of practicing the breath-controlling technique, Shen Yuan even experienced a rare epiphany.

The Breath-Concealing Technique is not a very advanced spell except that it is difficult to practice. Shen Yuan's sudden realization this time allowed him to practice the Breath-Concealing Technique to an extremely advanced level.

As long as he doesn't use magic power, even an ordinary great cultivator may not be able to see through Shen Yuan's level of cultivation.

After moving forward with Bai Xue, Shen Yuan finally crossed the mountains and forests. At this point, the roads built by humans completely disappeared, and towering mountains stretched out in front of Shen Yuan.

Although Yunfu Mountain is called this name, it should be broadly called Yunfu Mountains, which is an area formed by the intersection of many mountains and mountain ranges.

It is called Yunfu Mountain simply because the largest mountain among the mountains is called Yunfu Mountain, so it got this name.

After seeing the endless and crisscrossing mountain range, Shen Yuan finally truly stepped into the territory of Yunfu Mountain. The concentration of spiritual energy around him had increased significantly.

After falling from mid-air, Shen Yuan did not choose to fly in the air again.

The Yunfu Mountain has become the territory of the demon clan. Not only the demons from Yunzhou, but also the demons from several surrounding states and counties have gathered here.

If a human being like me flies freely in Yunfu Mountain, it will easily attract the spying of some monsters.

Shen Yuan was not afraid of the demon clan, but there was no need to cause trouble.

Walking among the mountains with Bai Xue, Shen Yuan was somewhat surprised to find that there were some man-made paths on the ground.

These paths spread out in all directions, and it seems that there are not only human villages in Yunfu Mountain, but also quite a few of them.

Shen Yuan was a little surprised, but soon he was relieved. There were no demons in the deep mountains during the period of spiritual energy depletion. There were no other dangers in Yunfu Mountain except for some ferocious beasts. It was not surprising that humans lived in these deep mountains.

After noticing the fresh footprints on the ground that looked like they were left in the past two days, Shen Yuan asked curiously:

"A group of monsters have gathered in Yunfu Mountain, and there are quite a few vicious monsters among them. Why haven't they moved out of the mountains and are staying here?"

Shen Yuan felt a little curious.

The market town built in Yunfu Mountain was not located deep in the mountains. Shen Yuan identified the direction with his eyes and continued to move forward.

At this moment, Bai Xue, who was standing on Shen Yuan's shoulder, seemed to have discovered something. She suddenly let out a small scream and stretched out her claws to point forward.

“Mim~mim~!”

Bai Xue's voice sounded somewhat anxious, as if she was urging Shen Yuan to hurry over.

Shen Yuan also raised his eyebrows slightly. It was the first time he saw Bai Xue so anxious. Without hesitation, he activated his magic power and walked away in the air with great speed.

In the dilapidated temple, several adult men dressed in hunter costumes were looking outside nervously. Two of them were holding crude earthen muskets, and the others were holding steel forks, long knives and other strange weapons.

In the temple ground behind them, a middle-aged man covered in blood was lying on the ground wailing. Next to him, a young man who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old was calmly bandaging the middle-aged man with gauze in his hand.

Outside the temple, a huge black bear more than two meters tall looked into the temple with greed in its eyes.

"Damn it, why did this bear monster suddenly attack us?"

"Isn't he afraid of the anger of the mountain god?"

"We have already offered enough tribute to the mountain god, why are there still monsters attacking?"

"Lord Mountain God, come and save us!"

This dilapidated temple could not stop the bear monster at all. Even the earthen spears in their hands could not break through the bear monster's skin.

Faced with the bear monster that could attack at any time, many hunters were completely panicked.

In the crowd, a sturdy middle-aged man surrounded by many hunters stood out. With a heavy face, he clenched the steel knife in his hand and spoke to the bear monster:

"We in Hejia Village have worshipped the Black Wind Mountain God for generations and have been blessed by him. Why did you go against his will and rashly attack us?

Aren't you afraid of the wrath of the mountain god?"

A human-like sarcastic smile appeared on the bear demon's face, and then its huge body rushed towards the dilapidated temple like a chariot.

The walls were easily destroyed, the dilapidated wooden door shattered in an instant, and the already shaky temple collapsed under the strong body.

Amid the rising smoke and dust, a hunter in the front was torn to pieces by the bear monster like a piece of rag before he could even make a sound.

"Shoot now!"

"Run away! Go back and tell the mountain god!"

"I don't want to die!"

The wails of the dying, the struggle for survival, and the roars of anger echoed through the forest.

At this moment, a clear sword chant suddenly sounded in the forest. The bear demon who was killing people wantonly only had time to turn around before the extremely sharp sword energy easily pierced his head.

The tall body swayed for a while, and then fell down with a loud bang. The huge weight made the ground tremble slightly.

When the panicked hunters saw this scene, they all showed uncontrollable astonishment on their faces.

The hunter leader struggled to get up from the ground and looked towards a young man in white clothes with an ancient bronze sword on his waist who was walking slowly towards him.

The person who came was Shen Yuan.

Even Shen Yuan had not expected that following Bai Xue's guidance he would actually witness the tragic scene of a bear monster attacking humans. In anger he killed the bear monster with a sword.

However, contrary to Shen Yuan's expectations, he did not see any joy on the faces of these hunters who survived the disaster, but only astonishment and gradually rising fear.

"It's over, it's all over!"

A hunter fell to his knees, his face filled with fear.

"If we kill the demon tribe, the mountain god will surely be wrathful."

"The village is finished, everyone will be judged by the Lord Mountain God!"

Some hunters even lost their minds and looked at Shen Yuan with anger on their faces, shouting at the top of their lungs:

"It's all your fault. You should have just driven the bear monster away. Why did you have to kill it?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Shen Yuan with hatred. Only the hunter leader remained calm and rebuked him in a calm voice:

"Well! This gentleman saved us.

If it weren't for this gentleman, there wouldn't be many of us alive."

"We will discuss the matter of the mountain god's wrath after we return."

The hunter leader seemed to have great prestige among the crowd, and his words made many hunters temporarily suppress their hostility.

The hunter leader forced a smile towards Shen Yuan and said:

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sir. Actually, they didn't mean it. It's just..."

Before the hunter leader could finish his words, a young man with blood on his arms walked out from the ruins behind him and said in a low voice:

"Uncle Li, Boss Zhang was hit by falling bricks and stones and couldn't be saved."

Upon hearing this, the hunter leader's expression became even more gloomy.

At this moment, Bai Xue on Shen Yuan's shoulder rubbed Shen Yuan with her face, and her little paws in white gloves pointed in the direction of the young man.

Shen Yuan noticed that the young man's nails seemed to be too long, and there seemed to be a lot of meat on them.

And on the blood-stained index finger of his right hand, there was a red and black ring, which faintly revealed a somewhat eerie aura.
