    In the sky, Yunxiao Sect’s Young Taoist, Yu Shan, looked down at Qiao Mu as he walked out through the door, lost in thought:


    "This person has been close to that demon cat, it’s obvious he’s in danger, I just don’t know…if his fate lies in my hands."


    Qiao Mu’s appearance was very mysterious.


    As a ninth-level Golden Core disciple of the Yunxiao Sect, when he arrived, he naturally scanned the entire mountain with his spiritual awareness and found no one else hidden.


    And yet, how could this Qiao family member casually walk out of a house in Xishan Vige like nothing happened?


    Did he manage to evade Taoist Child Yu Shan’s spiritual awareness, or did he quietly appear here on the mountain through some unknown means from the outside world?


    Whatever the oue may be, this person seemed formidable.


    "I remember hearing about a martial arts Qiao family in Zhong Province, where a Qiao family member has a once-in-a-lifetime teleportation ability…""Ha, the people in Zhong Province are so ignorant, how can they call this martial arts? This is clearly a talent of the demon race."


    "It seems that the so-called martial arts Qiao family is indeed a half-demon family…"


    After Yu Shan guessed the identity of the Qiao family member, he felt more certain.


    His caution stemmed from ack of understanding of the Qiao family member.


    But, being a half-demon…


    The Ten Thousand Mountains are only the hunting grounds of the Yunxiao Sect, the former demon king has already been killed in battle, and cultivators are the rulers of thisnd.


    Even among the Nine Immortal Gates, the Yunxiao Sect, which is ranked at the bottom in overall strength, is not something that demons can mess with.


    During the prime of the demons, they were no match for cultivators. Now they fear your half-demon family wearing human skin? What a joke!


    Nevertheless, Taoist Child Yu Shan still didn’t personally take action.


    After all…


    The Yunxiao Sect is not afraid of demons, but as a disciple, being too arrogant might lead to trouble with demons.


    "Raging Cloud Tiger, go and find out more about that half-demon mixed breed." Yu Shan whispered.


    "This person’s death is imminent, can’t escape."


    In an instant, the crimson giant tiger pped its wings and dived down again.


    As the saying goes, clouds follow the dragon and wind follows the tiger, this winged giant tiger swooped down, stirring up a storm of dust, flying sand and rolling stones.


    "The monster hase again!"


    The people in the rivers andkes immediately turned pale.


    The martial arts of ordinary people, whetherpared to immortal spells or demon powers, are no match for the unpredictability of thetter two.


    No matter how high martial arts are, they are just punches, kicks, weapons, and light skills.


    Even the legendary master Qiao Jin, who was rumored to have assassinated Emperor Yonghe and defeated Founding Emperor Yan, died at the hands of a demonic beast.


    "Be careful, this monster is very powerful," Long Shankong warned.


    Before Long Shankong could say more, the white-haired man gestured for him to stop speaking.


    "Do you think I, Qiao Pian, don’t recognize this evil creature?" Qiao Mu said calmly.


    A crimson giant tiger swooped down from the sky, stirring up a huge gust of wind.


    As the strong wind blew, the white-haired man walking out of the small building’s robes rustled, with his white hair flying in the wind.


    He lifted his head.


    His gaze was calm, like a tranquil pool, smooth as a mirror, deep and without any ripples.


    In the fierce wind, he saw the crimson tiger’s red fur swaying in the wind, looking like it was on fire.


    Seeing the giant tiger opening its huge mouth, the foul smell spread in the fierce wind.


    Such appearance, such posture….


    He was actually very familiar.


    "Fifty years…."


    "Do you know how I lived these fifty years?"


    After a single overturned cart, it took fifty years to constantly review and learn from the experience…


    During these long fifty years, he almost counted the number of hairs on the fierce cloud tiger’s head.


    Not to mention the fierce cloud tiger’s posture of spreading its wings and pouncing, as well as its biting actions…


    "A Qiao family member won’t fail twice using the same move."


    Fifty yearster, Qiao Mu had already figured out how to deal with this fierce cloud tiger.


    Since this fierce cloud tiger can turn into mist and easily regenerate after being cut in half, then…


    Smash it a hundred times, a thousand times, until it’spletely destroyed!


    In the moment when the fierce cloud tiger’s body was misted, Qiao Mu took a deep breath and gathered strength in his fist.


    "Ripple Stacking Wave Strength, Fivefold Wave!"


    With a punch, the energy burst forth.


    A strong energy prated through his body, and as he punched, it was like endless surging waves.


    It wasn’t a strike like before, where he held the King Qin Sword in his hand and cut the giant tiger in half, but rather a force likeyers of waves.@@novelbin@@


    Boom!!!


    The sudden surge of powerful force turned into swirling currents, instantly shattering the body of the fierce cloud tiger.


    With a roar, the fierce cloud tiger’s body once again vaporized and reshaped in mid-air, only looking slightly weakened.


    However, Qiao Mu’s attack was just the beginning.


    A massive amount of internal strength gathered once again on his fist, his eyes widened in anger as he struck out with a fist full of energy.


    "Fivefold Wave! Fivefold Wave! Fivefold Wave! Fivefold Wave! Fivefold Wave! Fivefold Wave! Fivefold Wave….."


    "Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method! Face my Fivefold Wave!"


    Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!


    Next to the small building in Xishan Vige, with Qiao Mu at the center, waves of blood-red energy burst endlessly in all directions.


    The body of the fierce cloud tiger was continuously shattered by waves of powerful force, then reformed repeatedly, and constantly overwhelmed by a massive amount of energy.


    The bloody ripples spread out, the small building in Xishan Vige that Qiao Mu had just walked out of copsed with a loud crash, rubble and debris being sucked into a powerful vortex, instantly torn apart and scattered all around.


    The travelers in the martial world’s eyes widened in fear, using their light skills to escape as quickly as possible, their hearts filled with hidden dread.


    "Can humans really cultivate such deep internal strength?"


    "How many years of cultivation is this? Three hundred years? Five hundred years? One thousand years? Even given a lifetime, I’m afraid it’s impossible to train to such a level…"


    "Is he really human? Is there a possibility that the Qiao family member is truly a half-demon?"


    For these martial artists from Southwest Province, reaching superb rank was already a legendary achievement in the martial arts world.


    Today they came for the secret manual left behind by the superb martial artist Spear Saint, only to have the chance to meet Wu Qiankun and Qiao Mu, who are both superb rank.


    The performances of the two Qiao family memberspletely overturned their understanding of the martial world that they had held for half a lifetime…


    Could it be that… in this remote and poor Southwest Province, there is such a huge gappared to the martial world of Zhong Province?


    The ground beneath their feet was swept by violent winds, causing all the small stones and debris to be carried away by the gusts.


    After waiting for a long time, the calmness returned once again.


    Only Qiao Mu remained standing in the same spot, with radial marks and grooves left on the ground around him.


    Everything around had been leveled to the ground, the small building was gone, not even a slightlyrger stone could be seen on the ground.


    The fierce cloud tiger’s body waspletely gone, not a single piece of it left, as if it had never existed.


    Meanwhile, Qiao Mu stood there, his arms hanging weakly by his sides, with his skin and flesh exposed, his arm bones unnaturally twisted.


    "Phew… seems like I went a bit overboard."


    Qiao Mu stretched his muscles, his arm bones making crackling noises like popping beans, and his flesh and blood began to move and change once more.


    He lifted his head slightly, discreetly ncing at Yu Shan hovering above.


    Then his face quickly turned pale, big drops of sweat oozing from his forehead.


    "Such a powerful monster, even though I, Qiao Pian, was able to barely win using the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method, my strength is almost depleted."


    "But…curses, now all my internal strength has beenpletely exhausted, today I’m afraid it’s the end for me here."


    Beside him, Li Changshi’s eye twitched.


    It must be said that having a Qiao family member y this role naturally gives a sense of discord, making him look extremely awkward.


    The character of Qiao family member is so firmly established, it is a stereotype left by generations of Qiao family members to the world.


    To the extent that Qiao Pian now wants to break his character image, even watching from the side feels incredibly embarrassing.


    In the air, Taoist Child Yu Shan watched this poor performance expressionlessly.


    I don’t believe you at all, this rotten old man is very bad…


    Even if they used all their inner strength, the Qiao family member still had a strong body and was notpletely defenseless.


    "Half-demons in this world find it hard to practice human martial arts, and very few can cultivate inner strength… It seems that the Qiao family member is among the rare few half-demons who can."


    "Qiao Pian’s death was imminent… Shouldn’t it have been at my hands?" Yu Shan muttered to himself.


    "Forget it, it doesn’t matter."


    "This person’s fate is sealed, even if left alone, they won’t live for many more days. There’s no need toplicate things unnecessarily."


    The Yunxiao Sect specializes in controlling beasts, and Taoist Child Yu Shan’s techniques mostly involve beast maniption. With the death of the fierce cloud tiger and all the spiritual beasts, does he still want to fight the humanoid half-demon?


    With this in mind, Taoist Child Yu Shan hesitated no longer and shot up into the sky like a rainbow.


    "Senior Yu Shan, have you taken care of that strange monster cat that devours life energy?" asked the other cultivator beside him.


    Yu Shan replied indifferently:


    "Although the rare fiendish cat that devours dead energy… Don’t forget, what is our purpose in this journey…"


    "The matters of the sect take precedence."


    "This strange demon cat is a dangerous beast, a Qiao family member cannot control it, eventually it will devour its owner."


    "Let him live a few more days for now."


    Yu Shan the Taoist had deep and mysterious eyes.


    As a disciple of Yunxiao Sect’s Taoist Child, the true disciple of the sect leader, his position within the Immortal Gate was only below the sect leader and several elders, and he knew many secrets.


    The tragedy in Xishan Vige this time seemed to only involve a group of ordinary people who had already died, but the matter was actually significant.


    Broadly speaking, it even had intricate connections with the Yunxiao Sect’s overall n for survival.


    "Whether these ordinary people live or die is not a big issue. In fact, it might be even better if they survive."


    "The good show has begun, now let’s see if little Jingwei can handle it," Yu Shan said calmly.


    The Ten Thousand Mountains are the home of many monsters, where all kinds of rare and strange creatures live.


    The reason why the "Demon Spear" Qing Li was able to be first on the Power List of the Tide Listening Building and be called the "strongest half-demon" is because she is extraordinary.


    In the ancient myths passed down by the elders, there is a widely spread legend known as "Jingwei filling the sea".


    The Jingwei Bird is a legendary bird that is far superior to ordinary monsters.


    Qing Li is already thest descendant of the Jingwei Bird in Jiu Province.


    …………………..


    Xishan Vige Ruins.


    Qiao Mu, Long Shankong, and other wanderers were wide-eyed in surprise.


    "My inner strength is depleted and I can’t chase anymore, why aren’t you chasing?" asked Qiao Mu.


    Long Shankong was speechless.


    This problem is like stabbing someone and then asking why they didn’t dodge, is it a matter of dodging?


    The martial artists from the Southwest Province never thought that one day they would have the option to chase and kill the leader of the Yunxiao Sect.


    "Forget it, I misunderstood, I didn’t expect you all to be so weak."


    "As for what to do next…" Qiao Mu nced at his bloody arms.


    At the right time, Li Changshi stepped forward and said:


    "Senior Qiao, tens of miles away, north of Linhe Prefecture, there is a Peach Blossom Vi where we gather to practice martial arts."


    "Senior Qiao, your injuries are not light, why note with us to the vi to heal?"


    Qiao Mu thought to himself, "I’m the one who wrote the words ‘Peach Blossom Vi’ with my own hands, how could I not know…" He naturally agreed.


    As for the other guests from the rivers andkes…


    Among these several tens of people, in the recent fight with the monsters, each of them was injured to varying degrees, some severe and some light.


    "You are enemies of the local Immortal Gate, facing cultivators, why have you not surrendered immediately, blocking the way for Immortal Gate, there might not be a ce for you in these hundred thousand mountains." Qiao Mu stopped pretending and directly threatened.


    "These hundred thousand mountains are not a peaceful ce." Li Changshi said.


    "With your injuries, even without cultivators intervening, it would be difficult to safely leave this western mountain, if needed, you cane with us to that Peach Blossom Vi."


    Li Changshi’s perception of these surviving guests from the rivers andkes changed somewhat.


    When brave warriors meet on a narrow path, those few who are cowardly and only seek to survive and enter Stone City all died in the fight.


    At the critical moment of life and death, those who have a way out and hesitate often die faster, regardless of their level of skill.


    The remaining few people still had courage in them, even when they had no way to retreat, they dared to fight to the death, which changed Li Changshi and Qiao Mu’s opinions.


    "As for that Wu Rulong…" Qiao Mu narrowed his eyes, focusing on Wu Rulong.


    Wu Qiankun ran away, but Wu Rulong was left behind here.


    This young man is just over twenty years old, already in the top rank of Spiritual Refining Period, and now he has be their captive.


    …………………….


    Below the western mountain slope.


    In a lush grasnd, arge burnt bodyy face up on the ground, with closed eyes and no chest movement, seeming to have died a while ago.


    As the sky darkened and night fell, several wild wolves approached in the shadows, ready to feast.


    Just as they reached the burnt body, therge body suddenly extended a hand like lightning and gripped the wild wolf’s throat.


    The wild wolf’s body quickly shriveled up and turned into a dry corpse, while its charred body stretched its muscles and sat up again.


    "The turtle breath technique in the arsenal is really useful, even fooling the Yunxiao Sect leader."


    Being adaptable is important for a husband, although Wu Qiankun is a top martial artist, he doesn’t mind pretending to be dead.


    Just now on the top of the West Mountain, there was a Qiao family member in front and a cultivator behind.


    If he stayed on the mountain top, he would likely be beaten to death by the Qiao family member, so he took a risk…


    ying dead is the best escape method.


    If Wu Qiankun doesn’t y dead, those cultivators are sure to single him out, making him an easy target…


    On the top of West Mountain, the only martial artists qualified to fight against cultivators are Qiao Mu and Wu Qiankun.


    Wu Qiankun’s decisive act of ying dead shifts the pressure to Qiao Mu, right?


    "In the Qiao family, I just used a small trick and he fell for it," said Wu Qiankun, catching a escaping wild wolf, muttering to himself indifferently.


    "Using all means is not shameful; being adaptable is what makes a good husband."


    "I admit that Qiao Jin was stronger, but now that Qiao Jin is dead, I am the ultimate winner."


    "In this world, it’s all about winner takes all; the losers sleep in their graves, only those who survive to the end can be the king."


    After muttering to himself for a while, Wu Qiankun killed all these wild wolves one by one, devouring their flesh with the Taotie Swallowing Heaven Skill.


    Soon, he shook his shoulders, the ckened dead skin and rotten flesh falling off on its own, revealing a newyer of tender skin.


    "So, where should I go next?"


    Wu Qiankun thought about this, feeling a bit lost.


    The Martial Saint is not in the Southwest Province, but in another ce.


    The mountain cannot hold two tigers, let alone a greedy eater.


    The Martial Saint left the weakest Immortal Gate in the Yunxiao Sect to Wu Qiankun, for Wu Qiankun to improve his skills.


    After being defeated by a member of the Qiao family again, his passion for martial arts started to fade.


    Wu Qiankun can ept being defeated by a cultivator.


    Cultivators from the Nine Immortal Gates have dominated this realm for countless years, monopolizing many resources, so losing to a cultivator is reasonable.


    But the Qiao family member, who is also a mortal martial artist, is different.


    "Why? I have fought countless battles of life and death and fed on former martial artists and cultivators of the Immortal Gate to reach where I am today."


    "Yet the Qiao family member is like cockroaches, kill one and moree, as if they appear out of thin air."


    Wu Qiankun took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing thoughts.


    Although he talked to himself for quite a while, he actually knew what he needed to do now.


    If he couldn’t defeat a member of the Qiao family, if he couldn’t kill one of them with his own hands, then his martial arts heart would be weakened, the Qiao family bing his inner demon.


    After being defeated by Qiao Shuanggui in Zhong Province before, he attacked cultivators multiple times to get to where he was now…


    Meeting a Qiao family member again, he suffered an even greater defeat, saved only by a cultivator from the Yunxiao Sect who intervened.


    "Not enough… I need more power…"


    Wu Qiankun dropped some dried wolf corpses from his hands, his expression turning indifferent again as he walked out of the mountains.


    Like a voracious monster, as long as his spiritual refining cultivation could control the Taotie Swallowing Heaven Skill, everything in the world could be the nourishment to strengthen himself.


    ..


    PS: This time, we must adjust our schedule. I only slept at five in the morning, totaling three hours. Today, the right side of my chest has been aching faintly for almost half a day.


    In the past week, I could hardly fall asleep before four or five in the morning… I didn’t have that much work, so I think it’s because I stayed up toote. Once I passed a certain time, it became very difficult to fall asleep, messing up my daily routine.


    After a week of this, my heart started hurting on the right side. If I stay upte again, I might truly need to start taking better care of myself… I’m going to start a healthy lifestyle from today! I must be a good example for myself.
