The two silly tigers greeted her warmly. This was the man the little sister had been longing for, and she was very obedient to him, probably because she had been tamed.
They need to cultivate a good relationship so that they can use their sister's name to become powerful and influential in the future. As long as their sister can find something good under her fingernails, it will be worth more than their decades of hard work.
Lin Fan stared at them speechlessly. Were these really the Tiger Clan? Where was the Beast King's ferocity?
"What are you all looking at? You bunch of blind fools! This is my brother-in-law, get out of the way!" Hong Bao shouted sternly, then invited him to hurry inside.
The powerful members of the Tiger Clan exchanged glances, not daring to stop them. It turned out the rumors were true; the Tiger Clan's Holy Maiden was indeed going to marry a human.
The fox girl beside her was also dumbfounded and speechless with shock. The young man in front of her was not only incredibly capable, but also a noble son-in-law of the tiger clan, so she followed closely behind him.
If they can find a powerful patron, the fox clan will have a better future in the Ten Thousand Mountains.
As soon as they stepped into the Tiger Clan's palace, the Holy Maiden Hong Yinping, having heard the news, ran over in a suit of silver armor. Upon seeing him, the coldness on her pretty face melted away, and a faint smile appeared.
She strode forward, ignoring the stares of others, and hugged his arm tightly. Her furry ears twitched incessantly, and she looked up at him intently.
"Holy Maiden Ping, who is this?" the wolf clan leader asked curiously.
Many beast tribes in the Ten Thousand Mountains have submitted to the Tiger Clan, and now the Tiger Clan's power is gradually being transferred to Hong Yinping's hands. Therefore, the leaders of various tribes will come to her to discuss important matters.
"This is Brother Lin Fan. We grew up together since we were little," Hong Yinping introduced.
So they were childhood sweethearts, no wonder they were so close, though their relationship went a little beyond friendship. The leaders of each tribe had different thoughts.
"If you have something important to do, you can take care of it first. I can wait for you," Lin Fan said with a calm smile.
"It's nothing serious, you guys go and discuss it first, I'll come back later," Hong Yinping said.
Upon hearing this, the tribal leaders looked at the two men with strange expressions, and then went back one after another. The two large tigers also wisely left.
"Where is Junior Sister Xuanqiu?" Lin Fan asked in confusion. Shouldn't she be with the Tiger Clan?
“She left in the second month, saying she wanted to return to her sect to fight against the evil spirits,” Hong Yinping said truthfully.
She nuzzled her head against Lin Fan's arm, giving off a feeling of both aloofness and obedience.
"Oh, so what level of strength do you have now that you're being besieged by demons?" Lin Fan asked.
“Nine old monsters at the Tribulation Transcending stage, the strongest of whom is at the ninth level of the Tribulation Transcending stage.” Hong Yinping curled her lips. The Ten Thousand Mountains could only resist the three major beast races, but their combined numbers were not as many as the enemy camp, so they were at a disadvantage.
"This is your letter!" Hong Yinping took out a letter. Lin Fan looked at the contents of the letter. Although there were not many emotional words, he could tell that it was a letter of farewell.
After all, there are fewer strong individuals in the Northern Region, and the Qingxiao Sect certainly cannot withstand them. By returning to the sect to resist the evil spirits, she has already risked her life and death for the sect.
"I'll help you deal with a few demons in the Hundred Thousand Mountains area; the rest is up to you," Lin Fan said calmly, putting away the letter.
Now that the Northern Region has fallen, they should head south. If they continue to stay and guard the Qingxiao Sect, even if they survive, it will be a slow death.
He chatted with Hong Yinping for a while and learned that he had stayed in the Great Emperor's Cave for nearly six months, which was a rather long time.
He then reviewed the situation of the demons in the Ten Thousand Mountains and decided to take action against the demons guarding the back of the mountain range.
Those were three demons at the Tribulation Transcending stage. They usually guarded the northern part of the mountain range to prevent the support of the Daoist lineages of Zhongzhou, hoping to slowly wear down the three major beast races.
Only by eliminating the three demons at the Tribulation Transcending stage, and reducing their numerical advantage in power, can the three major beast races join forces to launch a counterattack.
He glanced at the system panel. The strongest of the demons guarding the area was only at the fifth level of the Tribulation Transcending stage. With the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation and the Seven Star Sky-Stepping Diagram, he could definitely take on all three of them.
A day later, the Ten Thousand Mountains caused a sensation. A huge energy fluctuation appeared on the back of the mountains, and the earth-shattering explosion told them what had happened.
When the powerful demons arrived on the battlefield, the battle was already over. Thousands of demons in the vicinity had been slaughtered, including old monsters in the Tribulation Transcending stage who were unable to escape.
The powerful clans of the Ten Thousand Mountains cheered. The Tiger Clan revealed that it was their son-in-law who did it, and the explosion was also intentional, aimed at suppressing the arrogance of the evil spirits.
When the powerful figures from various races sought out Hong Yinping for answers, she remained tight-lipped, neither confirming nor denying, only telling them that the beast race was launching a counterattack.
Lin Fan, the instigator of the major event that ignited the Ten Thousand Mountains, has already embarked on his journey north.
He traversed several counties in the Central Plains and discovered that the demonic invasion was severe, with even the northern part of the Central Plains on the verge of collapse and about to be breached.
If the Four Sacred Counties in the northern part of Zhongzhou fall, the demons will be able to rush straight to the center, and the entire Zhongzhou will be plunged into a quagmire of war between immortals and demons.
Therefore, many ancient sects, including powerful forces such as the Heavenly Sect and the Immortal Sect, could no longer sit still and sent their experts to the Four Saints County and the Hundred Flowers County in the west to support them in resisting the evil demons.
"Fellow Daoist, are you also going to support the Four Saints County?"
As Lin Fan traveled, a war chariot was driving through the void, ridden by a dragon, exuding a majestic aura.
A misty, chaotic aura emanated from the surface of the chariot, with powerful spiritual runes flashing. The dragon pulling the chariot alone was a peak fifth-tier magical beast.
On the chariot, an old man and several young men and women were looking at him with curious eyes.
"I guess so," Lin Fan said.
There is a Fengxi in Sisheng County. I wonder how she is doing.
"Why don't we come up and have a chat? We are also planning to go to the Four Saints County to fight against the evil spirits together," the old man said with a smile, stroking his white beard.
Seeing that the chariot was covered with spatial runes and traveled through the void at a speed not much slower than his own, Lin Fan nodded and leaped into the chariot.
Besides the old man, there were three young men and two young women on the chariot. They were all very talented and had reached the Nascent Soul stage. It was clear that the sect planned to send them to the Four Sacred Counties for training.
They looked at Lin Fan with curiosity, thinking he was too young. They were on the chariot and had seen him tear through the void to travel, something that no one in the Nascent Soul stage could do.
"I am Tian Xuzi, the Supreme Elder of Taixu Palace. May I ask how you address me, my friend?" The old man looked at Lin Fan and felt that the young man in front of him was unfathomable. Even he himself could not see through his cultivation level.
"Lin Fan, an unknown rogue cultivator," Lin Fan replied.
Tianxuzi was taken aback. If Lin Fan said he was an unknown person, he probably thought he was an old monster who liked to live in seclusion. But he didn't quite believe that Lin Fan was a rogue cultivator.
After all, it is extremely difficult for independent cultivators to break through to the Tribulation Transcending stage, unless it is a chaotic era, because the required resources are enormous and there are limitations on their own growth.
Resources, cultivation techniques, vision, accumulation of experience, and the tribulation lightning that must be experienced during the tribulation stage all require a great deal of preparation.
These things are extremely difficult to achieve among independent practitioners. How can one person's efforts compare to the accumulated knowledge of generations of Taoist tradition?
