In a dark forest somewhere in the Tianyun Mountain Range.

Xiao Ming took out a cloth and quietly wiped the blood stains off the Furious Thunder Sword.

Around him lay the bodies of the Gale Wolves.

Each Gale Wolf had its wolf skin peeled off, and they all died from having their throats slashed by a sword.

Naturally, it was Xiao Ming who did this.

Three minutes ago, while on his way to the Cloud Fox tribe, Xiao Ming happened to come across a large group of Gale Wolves in this forest.

Without hesitation, Xiao Ming immediately swung his Furious Thunder Sword and killed all the Gale Wolves.

He also peeled off a hundred Gale Wolf skins.

Gale Wolves are one of the most common demonic beasts in the Tianyun Mountain Range, and they are of low cultivation level. Just like the wolf pack Xiao Ming encountered, they were all at the Body Refining Realm.

Not even at the Innate Realm.

Therefore, in just three minutes, Xiao Ming completed the sect's mission.

After wiping the Furious Thunder Sword clean, Xiao Ming took out a huge backpack from his pocket and put all the wolf skins into it.

This backpack was brought out from the sect in advance specifically for carrying wolf skins.

Just as he finished packing the wolf skins, suddenly, a powerful aura swept over from a far distance like a storm.

Xiao Ming instinctively made a defensive move and looked up.

He saw a huge pillar of light, as wide as a millstone, suddenly shooting out from the distant horizon, with a pale blue color, soaring into the sky!

The commotion caused by this pillar of light was astonishing. At this moment, it was likely that all the cultivators within dozens of miles could see this spectacular sight.

And the location where the pillar of light appeared was none other than the Cloud Fox tribe's residence!

The pale blue pillar of light did not last long and dissipated slowly, but the aura it emitted spread out.

Next, it would definitely trigger a bloody battle for the treasure!

"Could it be that the Cloud Fox tribe has a treasure emerging?" Xiao Ming was both shocked and doubtful. "It seems that I need to hurry over!"

After saying that, Xiao Ming put the backpack on his back, held the Furious Thunder Sword, and dashed towards the location where the pillar of light was with the agility of a nimble leopard.

...

At the same time.

Other cultivators nearby also looked up in astonishment, staring at the location where the pillar of light appeared.

"The pillar of light piercing through the sky, a treasure has emerged!" someone exclaimed with joy.

"It's not necessarily. Maybe it's a powerful secret technique being cultivated by some monster," someone next to them hesitated.

"Regardless of whether it's a treasure or not, let's go and take a look first!"

"Yes, yes, if it's a treasure emerging, it would be a great opportunity."

"Let's go together, let's hurry over!"

The cultivators who noticed the anomaly of the pillar of light immediately rushed towards the Cloud Fox tribe's residence in groups.

Meanwhile.

The people from the Lei Family Fort had already arrived at the edge of the Cloud Fox tribe's territory.

They were the closest and the first to discover the pillar of light piercing through the sky.

Lei Fang, the leader, looked at the slowly dissipating pillar of light and a smile appeared on his face.

"This pillar of light is caused by the Cloud Fox Heavenly Pearl. It seems that the information is correct. The Heavenly Pearl has indeed appeared," Lei Fang said, then turned his head and shouted at his subordinates,

"The Lei Family Fort is determined to obtain the Heavenly Pearl! Anyone who dares to covet the Cloud Fox Heavenly Pearl will be killed mercilessly!"

"Yes!" Lei Li responded and immediately spread out with his subordinates.

"Big brother, rest assured, with us here, not even a fly can get in," Lei Li took out a long spear and said confidently.

"Well, you guys guard outside. I will go and get the Heavenly Pearl," Lei Fang nodded.

Then, he drew a long knife shimmering with thunder light from his waist and walked confidently towards the depths of the Cloud Fox tribe.

...

Deep inside the Cloud Fox tribe's residence.

Hundreds of Cloud Foxes were currently surrounding a pale silver altar, excitedly looking at the low air above the altar.

There, a walnut-sized pale blue pearl was quietly floating.

Most of these hundreds of Cloud Foxes were still in their fox forms, while a few had cultivated into half-human, half-fox forms, and only a few had fully transformed into human forms.

An old woman in a white robe was the leader of all the Cloud Foxes.

However.

The overall strength of the Cloud Fox clan is not strong. Even the strongest old woman among them is only at the Innate Realm Great Perfection.

The old woman in the white robe reached out and grabbed the light blue bead floating in mid-air.

Looking at the light blue bead, all the Cloud Foxes around became excited.

"The Heavenly Pearl has appeared!" exclaimed a young fox.

"Yes, after absorbing the essence of the sun and moon for so many years, our Cloud Fox Heavenly Pearl has finally been born."

"The Heavenly Pearl has the power to reverse fate and enhance luck. I wonder who in our clan is lucky enough to absorb the Heavenly Pearl and improve their luck?"

"No matter who eats it, our clan will definitely give birth to a powerful genius. If they grow up over time, they will surely lead our Cloud Fox clan to glory!"

A lively discussion broke out around them.

However...

The old woman in the white robe had a worried expression on her face.

"A-Nai, aren't you happy?" a young fox asked, puzzled by the old woman's expression.

"I am naturally happy that the Heavenly Pearl has appeared," the old woman sighed and said, "but there is a saying among humans that goes, 'A man without a crime carries a jade in his bosom.' Our clan is not strong enough, and possessing such a treasure like the Heavenly Pearl may bring disaster."

"What should we do?" the foxes were suddenly alarmed.

The old woman pondered for a moment and said, "We need to quickly select clan members with strong talents and have them consume the Heavenly Pearl as quickly as possible. Only then can we eliminate the hidden dangers."

"A-Nai! I am strong, let me eat it!" a young fox with yellow fur volunteered.

"Nonsense! I am the strongest!"

"Both of you step aside, I am the most qualified to devour the Heavenly Pearl!"

As the topic of the Heavenly Pearl arose, a group of young foxes immediately began to argue.

The scene became chaotic.

The old woman ignored them and instead turned her gaze to a young fox nearby.

This fox clearly had no energy fluctuations and had not even started cultivating, yet it had already achieved a half-human, half-fox form.

The so-called half-human, half-fox meant that the overall form was humanoid, with a fox tail and a pair of fox ears.

This little fox's name was Hu Yunxi and was not a member of the Cloud Fox clan.

The old woman had encountered Hu Yunxi by accident in the mountains many years ago and took pity on her, so she brought her back to the clan.

"Hu Yunxi is an outsider and not a member of our clan, but she has shown remarkable abilities. If she were to consume the Heavenly Pearl, there might be a surprising effect..." the old woman thought to herself.

While she was contemplating, suddenly, a hearty laughter came from a distance. "You don't need to argue anymore about who will eat the Heavenly Pearl because it belongs to me!"

"Who? Who is speaking?!"

The foxes instinctively turned their heads and saw a man named Lei Fang charging towards them with a sword in hand.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"A human cultivator is coming!"

"He wants to steal our Heavenly Pearl!" The foxes cried out in alarm.

"Hahaha!" Lei Fang laughed heartily. "The Heavenly Pearl is mine. Today, all of you will die!"

...

Fifteen minutes later.

Xiao Ming arrived at the outskirts of the Cloud Fox clan.

As he looked around, he saw a large crowd gathered here, divided into two factions.

One group wore uniform clothing with the character "Lei" embroidered on their chests, the guards of the Lei Family.

The other group was a disorganized group of independent cultivators.

The two factions were in a standoff, and several bodies lay on the ground.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming frowned.

Those cultivators with the character "Lei" on their chests were probably from the Lei Family Fort. Within a thousand miles, only the Lei Family Fort would have such a symbol. It was practically the symbol of the Lei Family Fort.

At this moment, one of the independent cultivators couldn't help but step forward and angrily shouted, "What does your Lei Family Fort mean? Do you want to monopolize the treasure inside?"

In response, a powerful spear shadow appeared.

Whoosh!

The spear shadow flashed by, piercing through the chest of the independent cultivator on the spot!

The remaining independent cultivators were shocked and retreated one after another, daring not to speak out.

"That's right! Our Lei Family Fort does want to monopolize the treasure!" Lei Li, holding a long spear, proudly declared, "If anyone dares to provoke our Lei Family Fort, the corpses on the ground will be the fate of the provocateurs!"
