Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

"What exactly is this Tiger (寅虎) trying to do?!"

For the first time, the usually composed face of the Great Xia Emperor lost its composure.

He could accept the fall of the entire southwestern region of Great Xia, but he could not accept this outcome!

Because he can no longer see through this Tiger!

Just how strong is this guy really?

Why betray the Divine Messenger Society?

What is he planning to do next?

Even the Great Xia Emperor didn't know.

He loathed the feeling of things being completely out of his control!

The Great Xia Emperor took a deep breath, calmed himself, and looked at Wei Lixian beside him with a cold expression:

"How's the investigation going with Qin Yu and his three men?"

Wei Lixian replied respectfully:

"Your Majesty, after investigation, these four people do not seem to have any connection with Yin Hu."

"Oh?" The Great Xia Emperor's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Were there any instances where the other four disappeared when Yin Hu appeared?"

“No.” Wei Lixian shook his head: “Your Majesty, it seems to be just a coincidence.”

"A coincidence..."

A faint glint of cold light flashed in the Emperor of Great Xia's deep, abyss-like pupils, but it vanished in an instant, quickly returning to his usual indifferent expression.

"By the way, how's the situation on the Northeast battlefield?"

"Your Majesty, half a day ago, General Yang went to provide support. It seems that the six priests of the Divine Envoy Society knew about it in advance and quickly withdrew."

"What were the casualties?"

"Preliminary estimates indicate that there are approximately 12,000 dead and injured."

"What about in reality?"

"Approximately... 20 million people."

"Hmm, not as many as I imagined." The Emperor of Great Xia said calmly, without even a change in expression, as if he had expected the casualties.

"I will not be able to eat or sleep peacefully until I figure out what this Tiger is."

The Great Xia Emperor exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes turning icy cold:

"Have Yang Yadong on standby at all times. If Yin Hu appears again, have him go and capture him immediately!"

"Yes!"

……

In a remote and desolate mountain range, a hunter prepared to go hunting as usual.

But as soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they were suddenly stunned and rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

"Huh? Am I still half asleep? How did a mountain appear?"

Originally, there was only one mountain here.

but now,

Next to this mountain, another mountain suddenly appeared!

You know, before going to bed last night,

There isn't a mountain like that yet.

In other words, this mountain rose from the ground overnight!?

The hunter stared in shock, dumbfounded, and stood there, completely at a loss.

This is definitely a paranormal event!

The hunter looked at the newly appeared mountain, observed it carefully, and noticed something was amiss.

He discovered that this mountain was different from ordinary mountains.

The mountain was covered with dense, tangled vines.

It's as if this mountain is entirely made of countless intertwined vines.

The hunter mustered his courage, went to the foot of the vine-covered mountain, and took out his hunting knife to slash at the vines!

clang--! !

With a crisp clang of metal striking metal, the hunter was astonished to find that his hunting knife struck the vine, but the vine did not break; instead, his hunting knife broke!

"What the hell!?"

The hunter stared dumbfounded at the broken hilt of his knife.

"Holy crap, where did this come from? Is this still the real world?"

A piece of rattan was harder than steel.

The hunter had never seen such an outrageous scene in his more than forty years of hunting.

Just as the hunter was bewildered, he saw a large patch of dark clouds suddenly appear in the sky above.

The once clear blue sky was instantly covered by dark clouds that blotted out the sun, the sky darkened instantly, and a raging wind swept across the entire mountain range.

A chilling howl echoed through the mountains.

It was as if a storm was brewing.

Thunder rumbled from the dark clouds overhead.

"What the hell!?"

Seeing the sudden change in the sky, the hunter, though unaware of what had happened,

But he knew very well that

If he doesn't leave soon,

We're going to bury him here.

Thinking of this, the hunter turned and ran, using all his strength to run as fast as he could, without even looking back.

How evil!

I should have just stayed in bed all day and not gone out!

Seeing the hunter flee wildly until he disappeared from their sight,

Qin Yu slowly withdrew his divine sense, a smile playing on his lips.

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged at the foot of Mount Muteng, inside a cave that had been carved out.

This wooden vine mountain was created by him.

This was to resist the tribulation lightning that he would have to endure to break through to the Martial Venerable Realm.

"With so many vines protecting me, the probability of this breakthrough being successful is at least 98%."

Qin Yu secretly calculated in his mind that although the probability of success was still too low, he would need to take a huge risk.

But cultivation is inherently against the will of Heaven.

How can you avoid taking any risks at all?

"Sigh, I'm probably the first cultivator in the whole world to be as radical as me."

Qin Yu sighed, then regained his composure, sat cross-legged, and slowly mobilized all the spiritual power in his body to break through the last layer of the realm barrier.

Because the spiritual energy within Qin Yu's body had long since reached the critical point of overflowing,

So this time, he didn't have to put in much effort.

He simply channeled his spiritual energy upwards.

It means easily breaking through the shackles of realm.

The next moment, the sky, which was already covered with dark clouds, darkened even more, as if night had fallen. Thunder rumbled and echoed within the clouds, as if a thunder dragon was rolling and roaring!

Rumble——! !

At this moment, the hunter had already run back to his cabin, trembling as he looked out the window at the terrifying scene in the distance that seemed like the end of the world, thankful that he had run out in time.

Otherwise, if he were still there now, he would probably be paralyzed with fear by now.

Then, to the hunter's utter horror, a thick, dragon-like bolt of lightning crashed down from the distant sky!

boom!

The mighty thunderbolts crashed down on the peak of Muteng Mountain, creating a deafening explosion. The terrifying shockwaves swept outwards like a raging tsunami, causing the entire mountain range to tremble!

Even inside the wooden cabins, which were quite far apart, the ground was trembling violently, and the flickering candlelight illuminated the hunter's face, which was filled with horror and disbelief.

After a while, the smoke and dust dissipated.

All that could be seen was that the peak of Muteng Mountain had been flattened by lightning.

However, that's all.

The lightning did not completely penetrate the entire mountain range before striking Qin Yu on the head.

Qin Yu, nestled in the cave, lay on his side on a straw mat and lazily yawned.

All that fanfare, and all that effort for nothing?

Qin Yu simply snapped his fingers lightly.

The next moment, countless vines grew back from the broken part of the Wood Vine Mountain and transformed back into the mountain peak.
