Practice begins with immortality

One night, thirteen days after arriving in the Savage Mountains, a campfire was ablaze, and people were bustling about. Inside the largest tent in the camp, Wang Bo was drinking with Lei Ling and the others.

"I didn't expect that Brother Wang has also studied the magic of aliens. That magic helped us a lot when we killed the king beast before." Lei Ling said to Wang Bai.

In the Wild Realm, most people cultivate their combat bodies, while cultivating supernatural arts requires a special talent. Most people dabble in supernatural arts after achieving some success in their combat bodies, but most of these skills are of little use in combat. Therefore, few King-level experts delve into supernatural arts; most focus on studying techniques or, in other words, improving their combat bodies. The supernatural arts that Wang Bai had previously demonstrated to great effect naturally caught the attention of Lei Ling and the other two.

Of course, Wang Bai deliberately suppressed the effectiveness when using the magic, making its power only close to the king level, but even so, Lei Ling and the other two were surprised. After all, there were very few aliens on earth who could reach the king level over the years.

"Everyone, through these thirteen days of hunting, we have cleared out four beast nests, three mid-level king beasts and one primary king beast, and the harvest of the men who followed us is more than 30,000. There are still seven days left, after which we will hunt another mid-level king beast to complete the quota for this recruitment. At that time, we will call our respective generals to compare their harvests over the past few days?" Jin Yunguang said to everyone.

Hearing his words, the others nodded in agreement.

"That's great. When the time comes, we can each put up a prize and reward the warrior with the highest harvest." Wang Bai said.

So, the four of them decided on the treasures they would take out, and when they returned, they would take them out from the treasury and give them to the first place winner of this hunt.

Two days later, the hunt was finally over, and the four men began to count the ferocious beasts killed by their subordinates.

"I am Lei Yun from the Lei clan and have hunted down thirty-two war general-level ferocious beasts." Lei Ling said proudly to Wang Bai, Sun Ping and Jin Liangchen, with a confident glint in his eyes.

Wang Bai smiled slightly and said calmly, "Sun Ping, the general of the Royal City's foreign affairs, hunted down thirty general-level beasts."

"Jin Liangchen of the Yaojin tribe hunted down twenty-five war general-level beasts."

"Feng Xuangang of the Xuanfeng tribe hunted down thirty-two war general-level beasts."

"It's really unexpected that two people have hunted so many ferocious beasts! But in this case, it seems that we have to divide the treasure equally between them." Lei Ling frowned after listening.

"Brother Lei, as the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. In this situation, we must determine who is better no matter what. How about this, after they have rested tomorrow, let them have a competition to see who is more powerful. The one who wins in the end will naturally be the first in hunting the ferocious beast!" Jin Yunguang put forward his own suggestion.

When everyone heard Jin Yunguang's idea, they expressed their agreement.

.........

At night, a man ran into Lei Ling's tent in a panic.

"Clan elders, something terrible has happened!"

"Why are you panicking? Report anything immediately!"

"Lei Yun is dead, he died near his own camp. Some people say it was Feng Xuangang who did it. Currently, the two groups are facing off over there. I'm afraid something big is going to happen!"

Hearing this, Lei Ling immediately stood up and said, "I'll go ahead. You tell the children of our clan not to act rashly, so as to avoid causing any disaster!" After that, he hurried away.

Not long after Lei Ling arrived at the scene, Wang Bai and the other two also arrived. Seeing their respective king-level masters arrive, the two parties who were arguing at first stopped arguing.

"Brother Lei, you and I should appease our respective tribesmen first!"

After a period of time, under the guidance of Lei Ling and Feng Tianheng, both sides returned to their respective tents.

Looking at Lei Yun's shriveled corpse, everyone's faces were solemn and they were thinking secretly in their hearts.

"With this cruel killing method, the murderer must be related to the Blood Demon Cult." Feng Tianheng said to everyone.

"Everyone, may I ask what the origin of this Blood Demon Cult is?" Wang Bai frowned, turned to look at Lei Ling and the other three, and asked.

Lei Ling took a deep breath and said slowly: "That was an evil force that disappeared 200 years ago." A trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Legend has it that the members of this sect are skilled in using an unholy technique that allows them to extract blood from the strongest and refine it to elevate their own realm. If the blood extracted is from a person with whom they are related, their lifespan can be further prolonged. For a time, this evil cult caused countless killings and became a great scourge on the earth."

"However, this evil spell is not without cost. It causes the user's body to gradually deform, and it also violates the laws of nature and humanity. Therefore, over 200 years ago, various factions united to encircle and suppress the Blood Demon Cult, aiming to completely eliminate it. However, we never expected that their remnants would reappear today..."

Everyone was silent, a chill rising in their hearts.

"I will report to the tribal leader right now. Even if we have to go deep into this wild mountain range, we must find them and kill them!" Lei Ling said firmly.

"The Blood Demon Cult has been hiding in these wild mountains for years, and it's hard to guarantee they have branches elsewhere. Finding them will be difficult," Jin Yunguang said with some concern. The Blood Demon Cult has been hiding so well, remaining undiscovered for over 200 years. They're likely hidden in some forbidden area. Finding them would require the combined efforts of the five great royal cities and the major clans.
