At the Jeju border, beyond the border battlefield, the peaks of the Nakman Mountains are very high and shrouded in mist. Flying up, one cannot see the direction clearly, so one can only hike over the mountains.

After crossing the Luoman Mountain Range, we arrived at Tuna City, the closest evil cultivation city to Weicheng.

Tuna City was not small, and the Immortal Protector Sect divided its forces into three teams of cultivators to attack from three sides.

Cheng Qiang led the main force ahead, followed by Wei Hua's detachment.

The Immortal Guardian Sect had made a batch of magical treasures for its disciples who were going on expeditions, but one batch was still unfinished. Chu Yun and Wei Xin waited for this batch of magical treasures and set off two days after Wei Hua.

There are many high-level exotic beasts in the Luoman Mountains, and they inevitably encounter attacks from groups of exotic beasts while traveling.

With a large number of cultivators and great strength, the army could treat the high-level beasts as a snack, without affecting their marching speed.

Chu Yunwei's team set off later only to escort the spiritual treasure. The number of cultivators was only one-tenth of the main force, and their strength was relatively inferior. When they encountered a large group of strange beasts, the battles were also very time-consuming.

In order not to slow down the march, the troops almost never stopped.

There are righteous people in the world, and there are also selfish and ignorant people. Under pressure, there are brave men and fools.

Cheng Xiao and his drinking buddies are just a bunch of idiots.

Originally, Cheng Qiang wanted Cheng Xiao to travel with the main group, but Cheng Xiao and his friends got drunk and missed the departure. Cheng Xiao had no choice but to go ahead and let his unfilial son join Chu Yun's team.

Knowing that his rebellious son and Chu Yun were at odds, before the main force departed, Cheng Xiao repeatedly instructed Chu Yun, who had come to see him off, at the border gate: "Yun'er, just let Xiao'er join the team. There's no need to take special care of him. If he's annoying, don't pay any attention to him."

Upon hearing this after sobering up, Cheng Xiao was so angry that he invited his friends to get drunk again. During the meal, he smashed cups and threw glasses, shouting angrily, "What is Chu Yun? He's just a mid-grade fifth-level spiritual root. Why does Father look favorably upon him?"

"I'm also a mid-grade fifth-rank, why does Father look down on me!"

"I think Dad's lost his mind! Anyone who didn't know better would think Chu Yun was his real son!"

The mischievous friend rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not saying this to be mean, but your dad is really biased. Could Chu Yun be your dad's son from another family?"

"Bang!" Cheng Xiao raised his hand and smashed the white porcelain wine glass, his eyes wide with rage: "What nonsense are you spouting! Does Chu Yun even deserve it?"

The friend gestured to a servant to bring another wine glass and filled it for Cheng Xiao: "Brother Xiao, don't be angry. I was just saying, just saying."

……

"Awoo... Awoo..."

“Woo…Ah…”

As the moonlight descended, Chu Yun's group had reached the middle of the Luo Man Mountain Range. The mountains were densely forested, and the howls of wolves echoed from all directions.

Wei Xin and Chu Yun ordered the team to be on high alert and prepare for battle: "Everyone be careful, it's the black wolf pack from Luoman Mountain."

The Black Wolf of Luoman Mountain is a rather troublesome high-level exotic beast. It is huge in size and is good at group attacks.

The alpha wolf was nowhere to be seen; the forest was a dense, overlapping expanse of green, and judging by the number, there were probably close to two hundred of them.

Although their team had more than a thousand cultivators, most of them were of the lower-middle grade of the fifth rank or the fifth grade of the fifth spiritual root. There were only three immortal cultivators and only one immortal saint, Wei Xin.

Normally, five sixth-level cultivators could barely put up a fight against a high-level alien beast.

However, their combat strength would be somewhat reduced when facing the black wolf pack of Luoman Mountain.

Based on numbers and combat strength, excluding immortals and saints, they are roughly equal in strength to the Black Wolf Pack.

With the addition of the three Immortal Fans and Immortal Saint Wei Xin, as long as the team maintains its strength, it can drag the game out until the Immortal Fans and Immortal Saints wipe out the Black Wolf pack.

However, some casualties were inevitable for the team.

The mountain wind howled at night, and the wolves seemed ready to pounce.

Suddenly, several spirit spikes shot out from the sky, breaking the stalemate. Hundreds of black wolves attacked simultaneously, their roar echoing through the forest, and a great battle was about to break out.

Cheng Xiao quietly slipped into the front lines and joined Chu Yun in a fierce battle against the Black Wolf.

Although Cheng Xiao had neglected his cultivation, he was still a mid-grade fifth-level cultivator, and his cooperation with Chu Yun resulted in a respectable fight.

A black wolf died under Chu Yun's sword, when suddenly Cheng Xiao shouted, "Chu Yun, save me!"

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw Cheng Xiao being swept away by a whirlwind. He immediately gave chase.

The dense foliage blocked out the moonlight, and the depths of the forest were almost completely dark.

There were no more sounds of fighting or howling of black wolves in the vicinity, but Chu Yun could smell a pungent stench of blood.

The blood smelled strongly of blood, a foul stench mixed with a putrid odor; it was the blood of the black wolves of Luoman Mountain.

The dim forest was silent. Chu Yun slowed his pace, sword in hand, and walked towards the direction where the smell of blood was strongest...

The massive carcass of the black wolf lay before him. Cheng Xiao, sword in hand, crouched atop the wolf's corpse. Moonlight streamed through the leaves, illuminating his face as he smiled at Chu Yun.

His face was stained with blood, and he grinned maliciously, revealing only one corner of his mouth.

Chu Yun sensed something was wrong and turned to leave, but Cheng Xiao jumped off the giant wolf and thrust his sword at Chu Yun's back.

Chu Yun turned around to block, his sword meeting Cheng Xiao's blade. A talisman appeared on Cheng Xiao's sword, and his smile became even more wicked. He channeled fire spiritual energy into the hilt, instantly igniting the talisman. Cheng Xiao abandoned his sword and flew away using his spiritual energy.

Cheng Xiao's sword and the burning talisman fell to the ground, igniting the dry branches. Chu Yun slid backward several feet, and the flames on the dry branches quickly spread, the flames instantly engulfing the nearby trees.

If left unchecked, it would surely cause a wildfire. Chu Yun disregarded everything else, formed a hand seal with one hand, and mobilized water elemental power to extinguish the fire.

A pattern quietly appeared on the spot where Cheng Xiao had pierced the sword with the talisman. As the pattern gradually took shape, Chu Yun, who had extinguished the forest fire, was instantly transported to another place.

Chu Yun was plunged into darkness. He took out his spirit lamp to illuminate the area and discovered that he was in a deep pit filled with animal bones. Cheng Xiao's sword was also at his feet.

Chu Yun could hear wolves howling at the bottom of the pit, and guessed that he must not be far from the group.

He used his spiritual power to fly up and discovered that the deep pit was protected by a barrier. If he flew to the middle, he would be teleported back to the bottom of the pit and would be unable to get out.

He released his spiritual sense to probe upwards, but could only reach the middle and could not go any further.

Chu Yun was about to send a message to Wei Xin when he realized his waist was empty. He recalled the scene of killing wolves with Cheng Xiao, who had bumped into him many times. He figured that his communication token must have been stolen at that time.

Fortunately, there was a spare communication token in the storage ring, but that communication token only contained the messages from Master and Wei Zhuang.

Master is leading a large army on a march, so he probably won't have time to attend to anything else. And since it concerns Cheng Xiao, it will probably only make Master anxious.

After a moment's thought, Chu Yun decided to send a message to Wei Zhuang to inform him of the situation.

Wei Zhuang quickly sent a message to Wei Xin.

Cheng Xiao had already retreated to the back of the pack, pretending nothing had happened, and continued killing wolves with his kin.

The black wolf pack suffered more than half its casualties. The alpha wolf howled and led the pack away.

Do not pursue a desperate enemy. Wei Xin and the three immortals set up a forbidden zone, allowing the team to rest on the spot.

Wei Xin looked around and asked, "Why don't I see Chu Yun?"

One disciple replied, "Cheng Xiao was swept away by the whirlwind, and Senior Brother Chu went to rescue him."

Wei Xin frowned. Save Cheng Xiao? She had just seen Cheng Xiao in the group: "Cheng Xiao!"

Cheng Xiao's heart tightened, but he forced himself to remain calm: "Immortal Wei, I'm here."

Wei Xin asked loudly, "Where is Chu Yun?"

Cheng Xiao looked bewildered: "I don't know, I didn't see him."

Wei Xin had no good impression of Cheng Xiao and asked impatiently, "Weren't you swept away by the whirlwind? What are you doing here?"

Cheng Xiao pointed at his friends: "Xu An and Chen Huai saved me. We killed Black Wolf and came back."

Xu An agreed: "That's right. That black wolf that can use whirlwinds is already at its last gasp. We'll kill the black wolf, rescue Brother Xiao, and then come back."
