Wu Shattered Star River

The valley was very beautiful, filled with flowers, and there was also a pool of water with a wooden house beside it.

This was where Jiang Henshui and Yan Qin had lived in seclusion back then. The little fox had brought him here before and also took away the Suanni beast.

Returning here again, Jiang Han felt a little emotional. He entered the wooden house and walked around, standing for the time it takes to burn an incense stick before walking out.

“Buzz~”

The battle beast ring lit up, and the little fox and the Suanni beast were released.

The Suanni beast was awake, and when it came out and saw the valley, it excitedly walked around and roared loudly.

The little fox was awakened and leaped onto Jiang Han's shoulder.

Gu Qingtian glanced at the Suanni beast and the little fox. He didn't care about the Suanni beast, but he carefully looked at the little fox, a strange look appearing in his eyes.

He asked, "Young City Lord, this little fox feels unusual."

“Oh?”

Jiang Han's heart stirred, and he asked, "Old Gu, do you recognize it? Do you know what breed it is?"

“I don’t recognize it!”

Gu Qingtian shook his head. He looked at the little fox a few more times and said, "However, the bloodline on this demon beast is very ancient. This should be a relatively powerful race."

Jiang Han's eyes lit up and he said, "I found this little fox in the Tianhu Mountain Range. It had three tails before, but now it has grown four tails. The fourth tail is estimated to be almost fully grown."

“Could it be a Seven-Tailed Celestial Fox?”

Gu Qingtian thought of something and said, "It seems there was a demon clan called the Seven-Tailed Celestial Fox in history, possessing seven tails, with combat power comparable to a terrestrial immortal. If this little fox is a Seven-Tailed Celestial Fox, then that's incredible!"

“Seven-Tailed Celestial Fox?”

Jiang Han was filled with joy. He turned his gaze to the Suanni beast and said, "Suanni beast, you can live here from now on, guarding this valley."

Since he had returned here, Jiang Han wanted to leave the Suanni beast behind.

The Suanni beast's potential for evolution wasn't high. It would be difficult for it to grow into a fourth-order demon beast, which was of little significance to Jiang Han now.

Jiang Han's enemies were very strong now, and it would be dangerous for the Suanni beast to follow him. It would be better to let it guard this place and give it freedom.

“Roar, roar~”

The Suanni beast roared at Jiang Han twice, seemingly reluctant.

Jiang Han took out some fire-attribute profound materials from his space ring and placed them in a corner. Then, he walked to the Suanni beast's side and touched its head.

“Let’s go!”

Jiang Han waved his hand, and Gu Qingtian continued to fly with him. The little fox was very excited to return to the Tianhu Mountain Range, its small eyes scanning everywhere.

Jiang Han simply didn't put it back into the battle beast ring and let it lie on his shoulder.

The two flew quickly, searching everywhere!

Along the way, they alarmed many demon beasts, but they were all third and fourth-order demon beasts. The two ignored them and flew away quickly.

“Coo~”

After flying for half an hour, a large, pitch-black bird flew up from within a large mountain, opened its large mouth, and shot a bolt of lightning at the two of them.

“Fifth-order demon beast, Thunder Bird!”

Gu Qingtian quickly dodged with Jiang Han, recognizing the identity of the black bird.

A long sword appeared in his hand, and he stabbed fiercely. The long sword directly pierced through the void, and the next second, it pierced into the black bird's abdomen.

“Coo~”

The black bird let out a painful cry and turned into a black light, flying down. Gu Qingtian didn't bother to chase after it and flew away with Jiang Han.

“Young City Lord, there will be many high-level demon beasts here. Be careful!”

Gu Qingtian instructed, slowing down his speed a little. Jiang Han put the little fox away and took out his battle blade, and silver armor emerged on his body.

This armor was given to him by Lan Lin. It was a top-grade Heaven-rank armor, and Lan Lin had personally condensed Dao runes into it, so its defense was definitely super strong.

Sure enough!

Flying further inside, the two constantly encountered powerful demon beasts, the lowest being fourth-order peak.

Jiang Han didn't attack. Gu Qingtian stabbed with his sword, either injuring or killing them.

The two didn't linger in battle. As long as the demon beasts didn't chase after them, the two ignored them.

After nightfall, the two still hadn't found a Ghost Fire Beast. Gu Qingtian was bold and didn't take Jiang Han to the outer perimeter, but instead chose a cave to spend the night.

That night, demon beasts nearby smelled the aura on the two of them and swarmed over.

Gu Qingtian easily killed and repelled them, and it was not Jiang Han's turn to take action at all.

They were all fourth and fifth-order demon beasts. In fact, Jiang Han could also kill and repel them.

However, Gu Qingtian didn't let Jiang Han take action. The main reason was that Jiang Han's battles would lengthen the time, which would attract more demon beasts.

No demon beasts came over in the second half of the night. Jiang Han kept watch, and Gu Qingtian closed his eyes to rest.

After dawn, the two continued to search. They searched for another afternoon, and as it was getting dark, the two finally found the Ghost Fire Beasts, and there were a group of them.

There was a large mountain here, bare, with jagged rocks, and many huge caves.

The Ghost Fire Beasts were all hidden in the caves. Gu Qingtian sensed it casually, and there were at least twenty or thirty Ghost Fire Beasts.

“Young City Lord, stay here, don't get close, protect yourself!”

Gu Qingtian's face showed a solemn look. Although he was at the eighth level of the Void Realm, he still felt a lot of pressure facing a group of Ghost Fire Beasts.

Ghost Fire Beasts were not weak among sixth-order demon beasts. They could喷出鬼火 (pen chu gui huo - breathe out ghost fire), and this ghost fire was very strange. It was said that it could burn a martial artist's soul. Once it stuck to someone, the soul would be burned, and even if they didn't die, they would be severely injured.

“Old Gu, are you confident?”

Seeing Gu Qingtian's solemn expression, Jiang Han said, "If it's too risky, forget it. I'll come over and kill them when my strength increases in the future."

“Let’s try!”

Gu Qingtian smiled and said, "I have a soul defense treasure. If I can't beat them, I'll retreat. The Ghost Fire Beasts can't stop me."

“If there are Ghost Fire Beasts rushing towards you, you must escape immediately. Your soul is too weak. Once you are stained with ghost fire, you will definitely die."

“Yeah!”

Jiang Han nodded. He leaped onto a thousand-foot-tall tree. From here, he could have a panoramic view of the situation on the mountain where the Ghost Fire Beasts were located.

Gu Qingtian glanced at it and nodded slightly. Jiang Han was in such a high place, he could overlook all the surrounding situation. Once the Ghost Fire Beasts approached, he could escape immediately.

The Ghost Fire Beasts' attacks were very perverted, and they could also fly, but their speed was relatively weak. As long as Jiang Han avoided them early, the Ghost Fire Beasts couldn't catch up.

“I'm going!”

Gu Qingtian shouted in a deep voice, his body turning into a white light and rushing towards the mountain.

Jiang Han held his breath, his whole body tense, a trace of anticipation appearing in his eyes.

The Ghost Fire Beasts were so strong. If he could awaken the Ghost Fire Beast's divine power, then his combat power would definitely soar.

“Woo woo~”

As soon as Gu Qingtian stepped into the mountain, a series of ghostly wails sounded from several caves. Then, several dark, ugly-faced, terrifying monsters rushed out.

These monsters were not very large, their mouths were particularly large, and their eyes shone with green light. Their bodies were somewhat similar to leopards, with wings on their backs, and their feet were particularly thick, with sharp claws shining with cold light.

Although the distance was very far, as soon as the Ghost Fire Beasts came out, they roared a few times, and Jiang Han felt a burst of palpitation in his soul. The hairs on his body stood on end, and his heart was in his throat.

Six Ghost Fire Beasts rushed out at once. Could Gu Qingtian withstand them?

If he couldn't withstand them, Gu Qingtian might not even have a chance to retreat, and his soul would be annihilated.
