Time passed quietly, and three days later...

Outside Qingyufang City.

After leaving the cave, Xu Yun headed straight for the place he had agreed upon with Lin Zuibai and the others, while secretly instructing Daoist Tianlin to be on guard about the surroundings.

As a remnant soul of Foundation Establishment, this is a piece of cake.

Before long, Xu Yun arrived at the agreed place and saw several familiar figures.

"Fellow Daoist Xu."

Lin Zuibai and the others bowed to Xu Yun, who responded to each of them.

Soon, Lin Zuibai saw that everyone had arrived, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, let's go. Please be careful on the way."

Everyone readily agreed, especially Shi Han and Xiao Menglin, who were still shaken. If they hadn't been fortunate enough to encounter a benefactor last time, they probably wouldn't be standing here.

Therefore, they were the ones who understood Lin Zuibai's words most deeply, and dared not take them lightly.

Soon, everyone set off, heading towards the Mingyuan Forest west of Qingyufang City.

Along the way, the group discussed how to hunt the Golden-Eyed Beast while trekking through mountains and rivers. As they communicated more, the atmosphere became increasingly friendly.

During this process, Lin Zuibai was also secretly observing the character and abilities of each person to see if they could meet his standards.

Before we knew it, more than ten days had passed.

After crossing another mountain ridge, the group saw the vast, ancient, and wild forest in the distance, and could faintly hear howling and roaring sounds coming from within, which sounded rather eerie.

"Is this the Mingyuan Forest?"

Xu Yun looked up and observed the wild ancient forest, while corresponding information surfaced in his mind.

Not only are there a large number of demonic beasts in this Mingyuan Forest, but there are also several powerful demonic beast groups that live and breed here, and the Golden-Eyed Beast is one of them.

Because some of the demonic beasts living in the Mingyuan Forest are quite useful to cultivators, whether for alchemy or weapon crafting, they are very effective. Therefore, some cultivators occasionally come here to hunt demonic beasts and obtain materials.

Or they might issue commissions to other cultivators to hunt down the desired demonic beasts, which is what the Twilight Cloud Merchant Guild does.

"Gentlemen, let's go in. Remember, apart from our target, we must not disturb any other demonic beasts."

Before entering, Lin Zuibai gave a serious reminder once again: the Mingyuan Forest was extremely dangerous, and the monsters inside were even more ferocious and savage; countless cultivators had perished there.

Even a seasoned demon hunter like Lin Zuibai couldn't guarantee his safety inside. If it weren't for the commission from the Muyun Chamber of Commerce, he certainly wouldn't have entered so easily.

The others readily agreed, including Xu Yun, who already knew a lot about the Mingyuan Forest from the jade slip provided by Lin Zuibai.

It not only marks the places where the Golden-Eyed Beast appears, but also marks other dangerous areas in the Mingyuan Forest to prevent people from accidentally wandering into them and losing their lives.

It must be said that this information alone is enough to benefit the rogue cultivators greatly, which shows that Lin Zuibai is indeed quite kind-hearted.

Of course, Xu Yun wouldn't blindly trust them. What if the other party had ulterior motives? It's always good to be cautious.

hoohoo!

Soon, as Xu Yun and his group quietly stepped inside, the faint roars of beasts grew louder and louder, and they even occasionally encountered attacks from demonic beasts.

However, Lin Zuibai ignored him. He was already used to the environment here and was secretly observing the actions of others.

Wen Lingyu goes without saying, but Yang Feishuang, though young and impetuous, was quite decisive in her actions and had a firm Dao heart, completely unmoved by those demonic beasts.

As for Shi Han and Xiao Menglin, they supported each other, and their character was beyond reproach. They didn't hold each other back either, which was quite good.

As for Xu Yun, whom he valued highly, he did not disappoint him either, satisfying him in both character and ability.

However, after a short while, Lin Zuibai's expression turned serious, no longer as calm as before.

"Gentlemen, we have discovered a mid-stage Tier 1 Golden-Eyed Beast."

Lin Zuibai hid in a treetop, secretly passing information to others.

Soon, Xu Yun and the others quietly arrived nearby and hid. Following Lin Zuibai's gaze, they looked down at a beast that resembled both a lion and a tiger on the riverbank.

The monster had golden fur and golden vertical pupils. Its two pairs of sharp claws reflected a cold light. It would pounce on the river from time to time, and a tearing sound would follow. A spirit fish would be caught by it and swallowed.

Simply by standing still, a fierce and malevolent aura emanated from it, causing the other demonic beasts to dare not approach it at all, and could only retreat in fear.

"It seems there's only this one Golden-Eyed Beast here."

Yang Feishuang formed a hand seal and used her spiritual eye technique to observe the movements in all directions, but she did not see anything unusual.

"Very well, everyone, prepare to make your move."

Lin Zuibai nodded slightly upon hearing this, gestured to the others, and simultaneously formed a hand seal.

At the same time, Xu Yun and the others also used their respective methods to secretly target the mid-stage first-tier golden-eyed beast, showing no carelessness whatsoever.

It should be noted that demonic beasts of the same realm are always stronger than human cultivators. With their bloodline and demonic bodies, they are virtually invincible. For example, this Golden-Eyed Beast at the mid-stage of the first rank is comparable to a cultivator at the late stage of Qi Refining.

That's why Lin Zuibai specially selected several cultivators at the mid-stage of Qi Refining to help him. In addition to testing their character and abilities, he also hoped that this would give him a greater chance of capturing the Golden-Eyed Beast.

"superior!"

Lin Zuibai let out a cold shout, and at the same time, he made hand seals and suddenly unleashed a white streak, which struck the golden-eyed beast's brow with lightning speed.

At the same time, spells were unleashed from other directions, completely blocking the Golden-Eyed Beast's escape routes and leaving it with nowhere to retreat.

hoohoo!

The golden-eyed beast, which was devouring its prey, suddenly saw this scene and became extremely enraged, letting out a roar. Its golden vertical pupils rippled with a ring of light.

The next moment, two golden rays shot out from the Golden-Eyed Beast's vertical pupils, whistling in two directions, colliding and exploding with the spells there, forming two clouds of gray mist.

At the same time, it moved its demonic body, soared into the air, dodged the two spells, and then suddenly swung its sharp claws, colliding with the white ribbon in a flash of cold light.

Boom!

After only a few moments of stalemate, the white ribbon was torn apart, but soon another light blue arrow struck the Golden-Eyed Beast, exploding into a spray of blood and causing it to howl in pain.

At the same time, it lost control of its demonic body and crashed to the ground, sending dirt and stones flying and raising a cloud of dust.

"Very good, this golden-eyed beast is indeed about to give up!"

Lin Zuibai was overjoyed to see this. Although the Golden-Eyed Beast was powerful, that was why he had found several Qi Refining experts to help him.

Furthermore, although demonic beasts are much stronger than human cultivators, they are generally less intelligent. Given the opportunity, even if this golden-eyed beast is comparable to a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator, they are still confident that they can kill it.

hoohoo!

Just as Lin Zuibai was about to exert his strength again to kill the Golden-Eyed Beast completely, his pupils suddenly shrank. He was about to say something, but it was too late.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a roar resounded, followed by a golden light that pierced through the smoke and dust, revealing the form of a golden-eyed beast.

Its flesh was torn open, and blood was flowing down incessantly, making it look extremely wretched. Yet, it still had a fierce and savage expression, as if the pain had aroused its bloodlust.

The next moment, it suddenly pounced on a figure, its terrifying ferocity catching everyone else off guard.

The target of the Golden-Eyed Beast's attack was none other than Xiao Menglin, who was at the third level of Qi Refining!
