Ling Yun waved the demon core in front of the little white fox, which really made the little white fox quite anxious.
Then Ling Yun put the demon core away and teased the little white fox:
"Who was it that called me 'bad brother' just now?"
The little white fox blushed, wagged its tail, and said in a coquettish tone:
"Oh dear brother, who told you to throw me out like that? It's all your fault!"
Speaking with such confidence, Ling Yun then revealed the demon core.
An old man and a young man in the distance were squinting at Ling Yun.
The old man exclaimed in surprise:
"Hmm~ The highest cultivation level among these people is only at the Sealed Human Realm, yet they were able to kill a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast. It seems there must be a protector guarding them in the shadows."
The young man shook his head and denied it:
"No~ I just observed the surroundings and there was no aura beyond the Foundation Establishment stage. It must have been that the Heaven-Shaking Divine Ox was already injured, which is why it was killed by these people working together!"
The old man pondered as he glanced at Ling Yun and the others who were grilling meat, his eyes gleaming with uncontrollable greed.
"The Heaven-Shaking Divine Beef of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage contains terrifying energy, and the demon core can further enhance a cultivator's cultivation."
"Later, let's test them first to see if they have any protectors. If they do, we'll pay for the Earth-Shaking Beef; if not... Hmph! Kill them on the spot!"
The old man's words revealed a sinister intent.
The young man nodded in agreement.
Immediately afterwards, the elder at the peak of Foundation Establishment and the youth at the Sealed Mortal Realm emerged from the shadows and went straight to Ling Yun and the others.
A glint of greed flashed in the old man's eyes as he looked at the nearly cooked Heaven-Shaking Divine Beef.
He looked at Ling Yun with a kind smile and asked:
"May I ask which school or sect you belong to, young friend?"
Ling Yun and the others were not alarmed by the sudden appearance of the old man and the young man.
Ling Yun said calmly:
"We are independent cultivators!"
"A rogue cultivator?" The old man and the young man exchanged a glance, both seeing ecstasy in each other's eyes.
To be on the safe side, the old man pressed on:
"Eh? Young friend, you must be joking. To be able to kill a Foundation Establishment mid-stage Heaven-Shaking Divine Ox, your cultivation level alone is not enough. You must have a protector behind you, right? Hehe... Young friend, I have no ill intentions?"
A barely perceptible sneer appeared on Ling Yun's lips; the conversation between the old man and the young man did not escape his ears.
"We are indeed independent cultivators. The Heaven-Shaking Divine Ox was severely injured and was killed by our joint efforts."
The young man could no longer contain his elation. Just as he had expected, the Heaven-Shaking Divine Ox was severely injured, which was why Ling Yun and the others managed to snatch it away.
Immediately, the young man dropped the pretense and sneered:
"Heh... Since you have no protectors, then die!"
The old man also laughed loudly:
"Young man, you're too naive to tell the truth to a stranger. Be smarter next time!"
After saying that, the two attacked at the same time.
Shangguan Hong's expression immediately turned cold, and he drew his longsword to duel with the young man.
The old man had the highest cultivation level; even Xiao Yanran and Yan Ruyu together couldn't defeat him.
At this moment, the little white fox volunteered and called out in a clear voice:
"I'll do it!"
She leaped in front of the old man, leaned forward, and growled fiercely at him, her pure white fur bristling.
That's how she just suppressed the Earth-Shaking Divine Ox, rendering it unable to move.
When the old man saw a white fox cub baring its teeth at him, he immediately felt offended.
"You little beast, how dare you offend this old man!"
The old man's face darkened with anger, and he raised his hand to slap the little white fox on the head.
The next moment!
The old man's body remained frozen in place, unable to move.
Of course, it was Lingyun who used magic to immobilize the old man.
The little white fox can suppress the demon race with her bloodline, but only if her strength reaches the Foundation Establishment stage can she use the power of her bloodline to suppress human cultivators.
Otherwise, even if she becomes the Demon Emperor in the future, it won't matter if she faces the old man now.
Ling Yun grabbed the little white fox by the tail and threw it into Yan Ruyu's arms, then looked at the old man with a mocking expression.
"Hehe...why don't you move?"
At this moment, the old man's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. A mere martial artist at the third level of Martial Soul Realm could actually immobilize him.
How did the boy manage to do that?
The old man hurriedly threatened:
"Boy, release me at once! Do you know who I am?"
Trying to intimidate yourself by revealing your identity?
Ling Yun sneered:
"You don't even know who you are, and you're asking me? You're stupid!"
The old man's face stiffened. Shouldn't the other party ask him who he was? Then, if he revealed his identity, the other party would be wary.
Why do they not play by the rules? Young people these days are really wild.
The old man shouted sternly:
"I am the Grand Elder of the Inner Sect of the Luo Han Sect in the Zhao Kingdom!"
Ling Yun nodded and asked:
"Then what?"
"And then!" The old man's face stiffened. "Shouldn't you be afraid? I am the Grand Elder of the Luo Han Sect! The Grand Elder!"
Ling Yun looked at the old man speechlessly.
"I'm still an Immortal Emperor, do you see how proud I am!"
Seeing that Ling Yun remained unmoved and his eyes held deep contempt, the old man panicked completely and began to beg for mercy:
"Young friend, please spare him! This elder guarantees he will not..."
Ling Yun, seeing that the Heaven-Shaking Divine Beef was almost cooked, had no interest in chatting with the old man.
With a simple pull, he forcibly ripped the old man's soul from his body.
Immediately afterwards, Ling Yun kneaded the soul into a ball of essence, then split it in two and threw it to Xiao Yanran and Yan Ruyu.
"The essence of a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator is highly nourishing; quickly absorb it."
Xiao Yanran and Yan Ruyu's pretty faces lit up with joy; following Ling Yun was truly a good thing.
Shangguan Hong easily beheaded the young man and walked over.
The beef from the "Heaven-Shaking God" grill was just cooked through.
Ling Yun laughed and said, "Let's eat!"
At this moment, the little white fox looked at Ling Yun with a blank and innocent expression.
"Brother Lingyun, shouldn't you praise me? I scared that old man so much he didn't dare move!"
Ling Yun chuckled to himself; the little white fox had actually stolen the credit.
"Okay, you're great! The beef leg is yours as a reward!"
Hehe... I love beef shank the most!
The little white fox said with a satisfied look, "These days, Brother Bao keeps saying that he does nothing but eat. Today, I killed those two big guys myself. Let's see if Brother Bao will still say anything to me."
Ling Yun and his group devoured the entire Heaven-Shaking Divine Ox and immediately began refining its energy.
An hour later, everyone got up and headed towards the cave containing the Netherworld Purple Flame and the Primordial Sacred Fire.
"I'll clear the way!"
The little white fox walked at the front, head held high, strode around like a fierce beast surveying its territory.
Ling Yun shook his head and smiled, releasing a trace of pressure. Instantly, all the demons in the central area of the Haoling Mountains lay prostrate on the ground, trembling with fear.
Seeing that all the monsters along the way were lying still, the little white fox turned around triumphantly and glanced at Ling Yun and the others.
"See? It's me again!"
"Yes, yes, the little white fox is the best!"
"Looks like all that eating these past few days wasn't for nothing, it really came in handy at a crucial moment!"
"The little white fox will surely become a peerless demon emperor, reigning supreme throughout history!"
"..."
Abao and the others all gave him a thumbs up in praise.
They praised the little white fox so much that it made her blush.
Before long, the group stopped at a mountain peak.
