Chapter 101: The Young Master of the Black Tiger Tribe

  In the midst of Zhenwu Gate.

  "Ah..."

  A middle-aged man in blue robes raised his head and looked up at the lion eagle in the sky. The man's mouth moved slightly, and the lion eagle flew down towards him. The man smiled, seemingly very satisfied with something.

  The person sitting on the Griffin was a man in black, who had repeatedly tried to kill Shangguan Yu before. As soon as the Griffin landed, the man in black also jumped down quickly. The Griffin ran to the middle-aged man in blue and rubbed against him affectionately with its head.

  The black-clad man knelt down on both knees and said, "Master, this time when I went out, I originally planned to go far away and then directly kill Shangguan Yu. But unexpectedly, there was someone with similar strength to mine by his side. Therefore, I also did not act rashly, but slowly waited for the opportunity..."

  The middle-aged man in blue robes patted the lion's head and listened quietly to the black-clad man's account. The black-clad man also did not hide anything, telling everything from how he had borrowed a knife to kill someone to how he had guided Xiao Zhen. However, this black-clad man was also clearly self-interested, exaggerating his own merits and making his journey sound extremely arduous.

  "It's like this, the disciple racked his brains and used every means to finally drive Shangguan Yu to a dead end. Not only that, but the disciple also killed the two people who were with Shangguan Yu. I wonder if Master is satisfied with this result?" The man in black asked expectantly.

  The middle-aged man in blue robes did not answer immediately, but instead looked at the lion-eagle. The lion-eagle nodded slightly, but its eyes were full of disdain. Seeing the lion-eagle's attitude, the middle-aged man in blue robes also smiled indifferently.

  "Well, if the facts are indeed as you say, then I am naturally satisfied with your performance this time. Rest assured, my words count, and in the future, I will definitely guide you with all my might, so that you can become an elite disciple." The middle-aged man in blue robes said with a smile.

  The man in black also let out a sigh of relief, and all his hard work was for the sake of this sentence from the middle-aged man in blue. He knocked his head heavily, "Thank you so much, Master! Don't worry, I won't disappoint you!"

  "Hmm... you can go, I still have things to attend to." The middle-aged man in blue robes said this and saw the black-clad person leave. At this time, the middle-aged man in blue robes burst out laughing, "Haha... fellow disciples, this time I've taken a step ahead and completed Master's assignment first! I'll go report to Master now, Master will definitely heavily reward me this time!"

  Death on the outskirts, a black tiger is wandering. The tiger's entire body was covered in shiny black fur, looking particularly well-proportioned. Its eyes looked extremely spirited, completely different from ordinary animals. At this time, it was looking back, and after finding no pursuers, it began to wander again.

  "Hmph, Father King always said that the outskirts of the Holy Land are dangerous, but in my opinion, it's just like this. I don't believe it, with my innate talent as a tiger, what can trap me? This time, I will let Father King and those elders see that I, Hei Xiao Tian, am born to be strong, born not needing anyone's protection."

  That's right, this black tiger is the current leader of the Black Tiger clan, also known as the young master. Since childhood, he has been restrained by his elders and naturally developed a rebellious personality. Now, taking advantage of the fact that his elders are not paying attention, he sneaked out quietly.

  Hei Xiao has been strong-willed since childhood, but because he was suppressed by the patriarch of the Hei Hu tribe, who is also his father, he couldn't do anything. This time, sneaking out secretly, is also to prove to the elders of the Hei Hu tribe that Hei Xiao will inevitably become the pride of the Hei Hu tribe and the guardian deity of the Hei Hu tribe.

  However, as soon as Hei Pi walked away, the Black Tiger clan was thrown into chaos. The patriarch of the Black Tiger clan glared at his guards with a face full of murderous intent, "How did you all watch over the young master? How could the young master disappear without a trace? I'll give you some time, if you can't find my tiger cub, then there's no need for any of you to live!"

  The patriarch of the Black Tiger clan, Hei Sha, had a human body, but his face was that of a tiger. It seemed that Hei Sha's transformation was not complete, but he had at least escaped from his beastly form.

  At this time, hearing what Hei Sha said, the black tigers below naturally trembled with fear, not knowing what to say. People have their own language, beasts have their own language, and tigers can also communicate with each other.

  After being scolded by Hei Sha, the entire Hei Hu clan suddenly became busy. Those black tigers that usually protected Hei Sha naturally went out to search for him immediately. Some other black tigers also set off afterwards, as Hei Sha was the young master of the Hei Hu clan and extremely important.

  However, the black evil spirit seemed to be ungrateful, it fled all the way, trying its best to avoid being found by members of the Black Tiger clan. It had its own purpose, how could it be caught back by those Black Tigers?

  Humans call this place the Land of Death, but the demon tribe calls it a sacred land. Hei Xi has been wandering around the periphery, and those animals as well as some low-end demons, smelling Hei Xi's breath, are naturally frightened to tremble with fear. But Hei Xi enjoys this feeling, just based on this point, here is better than the Black Tiger tribe.

  For the time being, let's not mention this lonely old tiger. The three of them, including Shangguan Yu, had also arrived at the periphery of the Death Abyss. Shangguan Yu looked at the towering mountain ranges of the Death Abyss and didn't feel any sense of awe. The place where he was born had even higher and more majestic mountains, so in comparison, these mountains weren't anything special. However, it's all about comparisons - if compared to the mountains he saw from the Flying Feather Dynasty onwards, everything here was unfathomably deep.

  "Is this the land of death? I've heard that inside, there are some extraordinary monsters, but unfortunately, I don't have the ability to enter now. I wonder if I'll be able to meet some demons on the outskirts this time, I've never seen a demon before in my life." Shangguan Yu muttered to himself.

  Shangguan Yu and the three of them walked over on foot, those fine horses had been let go long ago. After all, some places were desolate mountains and forests, those fine horses couldn't walk at all. Rather than making it difficult for the horses, they might as well just walk themselves.

  "It's really boring, although I was being chased to death earlier, at least it was exciting. Now what is this situation? It's extremely dull, I just thought, even if I'm chased to death again, I don't want to be so bored." Qin Shou said.

  "Shut your crow's mouth, that crow's mouth of yours is always saying good things that don't come true and bad things that do. Last time we were almost killed, but the three of us barely escaped with our lives. If this time you jinx us again with your crow's mouth, then just don't speak anymore." Upper Official Yu said with a smile.

  Shangguan Yu, this is also a case of "the tongue is not in line with the heart". The danger last time was extremely dangerous, but it can temper people. It's precisely because he almost got killed last time that he was able to break through by luck. If there hadn't been the danger last time, Shangguan Yu wouldn't know if he would have broken through now.

  Qin Shou and Zhu Shoucheng also burst out laughing, they too knew that Shangguan Yu was just joking. However, Qin Shou's laughter was genuine, while Zhu Shoucheng's smile seemed to hold a deeper meaning. But in Zhu Shoucheng's eyes, there wasn't a hint of amusement, he gazed deeply at Shangguan Yu, as if pondering something.

  Shangguan Yu seemed to have a feeling, and he turned his head to look at Zhu Shoucheng in an instant. However, Zhu Shoucheng's reaction was not slow either, and he returned to normal in the first moment, while Shangguan Yu naturally did not see anything unusual. But he became vigilant, and for some reason, he felt that Zhu Shoucheng was becoming more and more dangerous.

  "Did you hear that? It sounds like there's some kind of noise, and it seems to be the roar of a wild beast." Shangguan Yu furrowed his brow. Such a powerful roar was definitely not something an ordinary animal could produce. Moreover, this was the Land of Death, so encountering some kind of monster or ghost would be nothing out of the ordinary.

  Qin Shou also perked up his ears to listen, but he didn't hear anything unusual. Shangguan Yu had been practicing his perception for over a year now, and even if he wasn't using it normally, his five senses were far superior to those of an average warrior.

  At this time, Zhu Shoucheng also stopped in his tracks. "I've heard it too, and the roar seems to be unique to tigers. Moreover, a tiger that can make such a howl must not have a low cultivation level."

  Shangguan Yuning's eyes narrowed as he sensed the tiger that made the howling sound was rushing towards them. "Why do we have such a fate with tigers? After the first martial exam, we encountered the Sword-toothed Tiger, and this time it's an unknown breed of tiger."

  Qin Shou laughed heartlessly, "I also remember that the last time we encountered a sword-toothed tiger, it was just the three of us - you two and Li Ruolan. We worked together to take it down. But times have changed, today this old tiger is mine alone, I want to duel him one-on-one."

  Upon hearing Qin Shou's words, Shangguan Yu could only helplessly shake his head. This wasn't Tongling Mountain, but an extremely dangerous death zone; who knew what kind of demonic beast this tiger was? If its cultivation level was too high, then the three of them would probably have no choice but to flee.

  Looking at Shangguan Yu's distrustful gaze, Qin Shou became annoyed, "Xiao Yu, don't worry, if I can't deal with this old tiger, I'll never take the lead again. I still don't believe it, relying on my divine archery skills, I won't even be able to deal with a single old tiger?"

  Shangguan Yu helplessly shrugged his shoulders. Since Qin Shou was so confident, then let him try it out. Anyway, with him and Zhu Shoucheng holding down the fort, at critical moments, they could also lend a hand to Qin Shou, so naturally there wouldn't be any danger to their lives.

  "Roar......"

  A sleek black tiger appeared before the three of them, its eyes fixed warily on Yu Shang. This was naturally Hei Sha, and it gazed cautiously at the trio.
