Victory
Wen Xiangluan fought through the beast tide all night long. By the next morning, there were no more magical beasts in front of him, and he then tucked his feathers back into his hair.
Then he saw his two uncles who had been standing guard by his side all night.
He greeted them with some delight: "Uncle-Master, are you going back to the sect? Take me with you."
Wuxiang Hall.
"Nephew, so why did you come back?"
Lu Qianfeng was quite curious. He remembered that on that night, all six of his senior sister's disciples had secretly gone out.
Wen Xiangluan scratched his head: "Because I want to learn the domain from my master."
One of the main reasons he came to the Myriad Elephants Sect was to admire and respect his grandmaster, hoping that he could become as powerful as her in the future.
So he had always hoped to become the grandmaster's disciple, but unfortunately he could only become the sect leader's disciple in the end.
But he wasn't too disappointed. He just thought it would be even better if he could meet his grandmaster someday, since he had heard that all his senior brothers and sisters had already met their grandmaster.
He was the last one to join the sect, and since he entered, his master has been in seclusion, so he has never seen his master.
However! He finally got his chance!
The grandmaster unexpectedly became their "senior sister" for some reason!
He was almost impatient to wait in front of his master's door, but unexpectedly, he was dragged out by his fellow disciples—who said it was for the sake of unity.
Unfortunately, his cultivation level was the lowest, so he couldn't escape at all. He was led around in circles by others. Recently, his senior brothers and sisters got tired of him and finally gave him a chance to escape.
"So, Master, where is Grandmaster now?"
The sect leader glanced at him expressionlessly: "Just wait for yourself."
Wen Xiangluan blinked. He wasn't mistaken, was he? His master, who was usually very good to his disciples, seemed to be carrying some resentment just now.
Lu Qianling and Lu Qianfeng exchanged a glance and shrugged. This was none of their business; it was their master who insisted on accompanying the fox.
Besides, wasn't that fox one of the sect leaders himself who took him in as a disciple?
If we calculate it this way, wouldn't the source still be the sect leader himself?
The dense forest eclipsed by the moon.
Two days have passed since the beast tide receded, and the dense forest, which would have been filled with whispers, is now completely silent—all the magical beasts are still in the previous beast tide.
Occasionally, a few cleverer magical beasts, sensing the danger, would flee back into the forest, but they dared not peek out for a while.
Therefore, only the occasional rustling of leaves in the wind can be heard in the dense forest now.
But it was in this quiet moment that a huge head emerged from among the branches and leaves.
His round eyes were staring sharply into the distance, and then, as if sensing something, he quickly hid himself.
"Junior brother, I think it's about time."
Nan Yi's eyelashes drooped, and shadows obscured his beautiful eyes and the expression within them.
He really didn't want to see Warcraft again.
No one knows exactly how Chu Li constructed his domain, but he has been constantly facing attacks from various magical beasts for the past two days without a moment's rest.
Defeat one, and another one comes.
Now, Chu Li is trying to get him to attack actual magical beasts.
"You just need to do it the way you would in the field."
Perhaps it was because he had seen too many monsters in just two days, and because they would keep harassing him at close range as long as he didn't attack, that he was forced to fight back.
The good news is that he has indeed begun to desensitize. If a monster suddenly appears now, he will instinctively attack it instead of running away.
But then came bad news—he no longer wanted to see monsters, or anything resembling them, as just seeing them made him feel uncomfortable.
"Senior sister, the beast tide has just passed, there shouldn't be many magical beasts left in the dense forest, right? Why don't we go back first and come back another day?"
"no."
Chu Li rejected Nan Yi's suggestion almost outright. If this matter wasn't resolved thoroughly, it might backfire later. Besides, what appeared in her domain were only similar magical beasts, which couldn't compare to real magical beasts.
Nan Yi subconsciously looked up at Chu Li—the sunlight was blocked by the dense branches of the trees, leaving only a few rays of light to fall into the forest, which just happened to illuminate Chu Li's cheeks.
He watched quietly, momentarily lost in thought. The lighting was just right, and he inexplicably felt that Chu Li was shrouded in an indescribable aura.
That seemed to be a level he couldn't access.
Also, was Chu Li always like this? Why does he feel like something has changed?
Perhaps because he was born into the fox clan, he had seen countless beautiful faces since childhood, and almost all of them, regardless of gender, possessed a captivating charm.
In layman's terms, it means that they can often bewitch others to the point of losing their bearings.
Having seen so many, Nan Yi no longer cared so much about appearances, but the feeling Chu Li gave him was completely different from that of the foxes in his clan.
But if he really had to point out any differences, he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Perhaps it was because Chu Li looked more...
He was suddenly pulled behind her. He was startled for a moment and looked in the direction of the strange noise he had just heard.
A pair of enormous wings suddenly spread out above their heads, blotting out the sky and the sun.
"Night Owl, it turns out it's back again."
Upon hearing Chu Li's words, which matched his earlier guess, Nan Yi focused his attention back on observing the reappearing Netherworld Owl.
This was a demonic beast in the Tribulation Transcending stage, without a doubt. He subconsciously compared his strength before he was injured with its own, but in the end, the conclusion was that it was only a 50/50 match.
There's a 50% chance, and that's the probability of him revealing his true form.
Although Chu Li was chatting with Nan Yi, she still used all her senses to the maximum. This was the Eclipse Moon Forest, which was very likely hiding powerful magical beasts.
Sure enough, she caught a slight movement from the Netherworld Owl.
However, Lu Qianling had said before that it had run away—she believed that Lu Qianling must have come to the Eclipse Moon Forest to look for it, but it wasn't there at the time, so it must have run back later.
So why did it come back?
Chu Li's gaze swept over the blood-stained wings of the Netherworld Owl without making a sound—one of its wings was bent in a strange shape, and a casual glance was enough to reveal that it was covered in wounds. If you listened carefully, you could even hear it panting.
It is clear that Lu Qianling had already suppressed him thoroughly.
The question then arises: it was clearly badly injured, yet it insisted on returning to this place—which can only mean that there are more important things here than healing itself.
Moreover, this matter may have a time limit, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to rush back immediately.
After confirming its status, Chu Li took a step to the side, fully revealing Nan Yi behind her.
"Junior brother, go."
Before Nan Yi could react, the Netherworld Owl seemed to have understood the meaning between the two and immediately swooped down towards Nan Yi.
If it were facing that Nascent Soul stage female cultivator, it might have to think twice, but now it has been pushed forward by a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator—it let out a long cry, even if it was seriously injured, defeating a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator would be a piece of cake for it.
Nan Yi reacted even faster, dodging the attack with a quick movement.
He wanted to say something more, but the Netherworld Owl didn't give him a chance to speak, and one attack after another followed.
He then focused his attention on dealing with the owl in front of him.
Chu Li stood aside, noting down the occasional loopholes Nan Yi revealed during the battle. Ye Xiao was seriously injured at this time and had not recovered his strength at all. In her opinion, Nan Yi alone was enough to deal with him.
I was worried about not having any Warcrafts before, but look, Night Owl has delivered them himself.
She stroked her chin as she watched the intense battle, then with a wave of her hand, she covered the entire surrounding space with a spiritual energy shield.
That way, no one should find this place.
Nan Yi was initially somewhat suppressed, but as time went by, he became more and more courageous, and later he even let go and directly revealed his original form.
Although the fox cannot compare to the owl's enormous size, the fox has the advantage of agility, appearing one moment on the owl's head and the next on its wing, making it almost impossible for the owl to defend itself.
Annoyed, the owl began to tremble violently, causing the black mist that had been clinging to its wings to start flowing outwards.
Chu Li's relaxed expression instantly turned serious. That was the Netherworld Night Owl's ultimate move, capable of devouring anything. Anyone touched by that black mist would not escape—
This was unexpected. She had thought that Night Owl would be unable to use its ultimate move again. After all, even in its prime, it would take time to prepare to use its ultimate move. Now that it was seriously injured, it should be unable to use it anymore.
But the next second, Chu Li looked at the Night Owl's feathers, which suddenly became soft and smaller, and suddenly understood—it was burning its own lifespan to accumulate energy for its ultimate move.
"Junior brother, get out of the way quickly!"
With such a powerful attack, his junior brother couldn't withstand it.
Nan Yi looked up at Night Owl, his eyes showing no sign of backing down. The previous battle had left him somewhat disheveled, his robes covered in scratches—all cut by the air blasts from his wings.
As the black mist flowed halfway through, tiny flames suddenly appeared, and then in the next second, the flames leaped up, fighting against the black mist.
That was still a celestial fire after all. After a stalemate, the ultimate move that hadn't been used yet was burned to ashes by a single flame. Even the owl's wings were affected, with several feathers charred black.
Chu Li doesn't need to look at the rest; the result is already quite clear, isn't it?
Not long after, Nan Yi walked towards Chu Li looking somewhat disheveled, but he had an unusually relaxed smile on his face.
He never imagined that a problem that had troubled him for so long would be so easily resolved in Chu Li's hands.
Just as he had completely slain Night Owl, a cracking sound seemed to ring in his ears. At that moment, he knew clearly that the shackles that bound him had been completely broken.
In the future, when he thinks of magical beasts, he will no longer think of the scene of his injury, but of the scene of killing the tribulation-stage magical beast.
only……
He looked at himself, covered in dust, and the smile on his face quickly faded. He greeted Chu Li and immediately found a nearby stream.
Its entire body smoothly transformed back into the shape of a fox, and it plunged into the stream and rolled around.
He quickly brushed the dust off his body, but his gaze suddenly stopped. About a few steps away from the stream, there was a tree that was much smaller than the others.
It was only three or four meters off the ground, like a sapling that had not yet grown, but on its branches hung several flower buds.
He leaped out of the water, the splashing droplets tracing perfect arcs in the sunlight. Then, as he turned, he donned his robe, water droplets dripping from his forehead.
But he didn't have time to wipe it away; instead, he walked somewhat hastily toward the small tree.
He always felt that there was a strange aura drawing him in.
