Chapter 54

"A White Death Leopard! Retreat for now!"

"Hurry and scatter! We must keep it distracted!"

"Dammit! Its so close!"

Countless disciples rushed out of the temple, their voices shaking with shock and anger.

And behind them, stormed out the temple a spiritual beast as white as snow. It exuded a powerful aura with its long white fur billowed in the wind. Its length was a terrifying 6 meters. With bloodlust in its eyes, It unhinged its jaw as it glared at the disciples running around. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

The White Death Leopard's sharp claws were dripping with fresh blood, soaking the ground. Its eyes were sharp and quick, always able to predict the movements of cultivators and finish them off quickly.

Behind the leopard laid a trail of torn and mutilated bodies. Their eyes were still filled with terror, even in death.

Roar! Roar!

With another roar, the mountain shook, and clouds of dust rose.

The leopard then started pacing in front of the gate of the temple. It seemed to be surveying the area.

"This temple is enormous. These disciples are crawling out one after the other like ants out of an ant hill. Chen Xun sighed.

The oppressive presence of the White Death Leopard was overwhelming. Even he wasn't sure about his chances against it. However, if they had a chance to sneak inside, it had to be now.

The disciples had gathered and discussed moments ago and had concluded that facing the beast directly wasnt feasible. They had to distract it first.

Minutes passed, and the Wangyue Temple seemed to have fallen silent, only occasional roars from the White Death Leopard could be heardwhich continued to intimidate those disciples nearby.

By the time the sun had set, nobody dared to attack anymore. After all, everyone had only one life. Who here had the courage to be the first to step up and offer it?

And so, Chen Xun and the black ox could only reluctantly withdraw, returning to the depths of the forest.

Their only advantage was their strength and endurance and the fact that Chen Xun even carried some tools that could be used to dig underground.

"Old ox, let's dig a tunnel..." He said helplessly.

The experience they had gained digging tunnels in the Ningyun Mountains was of great help now.

"Moo?" The big black ox was surprised but immediately liked the idea. This might actually work!

"I'll mark the distance." Chen Xun cleared his throat and looked into the distance. Then, he crouched and swept up a clump of soil before thoroughly analyzing it for a second before throwing it back. "Old ox, let's get digging, this might actually work."

"Moo!"

They could hear the sound of the battle outside. The disciples continued their cat-and-mouse game with the White Death Leopard. Both sides were exhausted.

Chen Xun glanced at the situation outside and smiled, "Old ox, let's just take two plants; that's enough to fulfill our merit."

"Moo moo~" The big black ox exclaimed. It had never destroyed so many herbs along the way, and Chen Xun was trying to scare it again.

Annoyed, it nudged Chen Xun and then hurried to the edge of the pool, taking out the medicine box and starting to harvest the main as well as the auxiliary herb for Foundation Building pill. Chen Xun stayed behind to keep watch in case of any accidents.

"Moo~"

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Hearing Chen Xuns call, the black ox jumped straight back into the tunnel and onto the immortal swords. They then brought out the bags full of soil from their storage bags before accelerating and dumping the soil behind them as they moved.

It wasnt long before they were out of the temple, just as they had come, leaving without a trace.

Inside the Wangyue Temple, the White Death Leopard suddenly sensed something. With a swipe of its claws, it drove away the people attacking it and hurried into the temple, but it was soon dumbfounded...

Roar!

Roar!

The White Death Leopard became exceptionally agitated, and the bloodlust in its eyes deepened. It looked back at the humans behind it with madness in its eyes! Today, they would all die!!

"What's going on?!"

"The White Death Leopard has gone mad!"

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

The entire situation had reached a climax, and countless cries filled the air as the frenzied spiritual beast was completely set on killing the disciples, to the extent that If taking a life meant getting wounded, it didnt care. Anyone who approached met a bloody end.

Some people could only curse repeatedly, wondering why this trip to the Southern Dipper Mountain was so difficult. They hadn't heard of a spiritual beast going mad like this before.

But this outcome wasnt that bad, many had been waiting for an opportunity to act, and this moment was precisely that opportunity since the beast had seemingly gone insane.

*****************

On another side of the forest, around the Quiluo Temple, countless demonic beasts roamed. The sound of battle outside the temple was similar to that of the previous ancient temple, even the air was filled with a bloody scent. The temple gate was almost blocked by countless corpses.

Three demonic beasts at the tenth level of Qi Refining stood outside, covered in injuries and bloodstains. And behind them, was an even more terrifying demonic beast. While the disciples had been told before that every Southern Dipper Mountain expedition hanged on the fact that countless human lives were used to support it. They were mostly used to exhaust the many demonic beasts until they grew weak enough where the remaining disciples could harvest the herbs.

And with that in mind, wise men would not stand under a dangerous wall. Chen Xun and the black ox definitely wouldn't charge in, but they could hide in the tunnel and begin their preparations, one digging and one expanding.
