If the Cyan Creek Sect was heading east, the Spiritual Qi near the end of the Cyan Creek Mountain Range couldn’t possibly be this rich.
Heading west wasn’t feasible yet, not to that extent. So at this mont, there was only one possibility left.
He might have headed a short distance into the depths of the southeastern Cyan Gorge Mountain Range.
Chu Ning concluded this and naturally didn’t linger around.
He cast an Illusion Technique to change his appearance. Although he still looked like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old man, his face was now completely different.
anwhile, he took out the clothes he had prepared at Yan Workshop from his Storage Bag and quickly changed out of the Cyan Creek Sect’s Inner Sect disciple robe.
Then, after determining the direction, he flew towards the northeast using Wind Control.
Chu Ning did not use the Wind Chasing Shuttle.
This was naturally because he was worried he hadn’t gone far enough and feared being spotted by soone from the Cyan Creek Sect or the Yin Demon Sect.
While flying, Chu Ning released the Puppet Bird.
Chu Ning could now sense up to fifty zhang away with his Divine Sense, but it was still inferior to the Puppet Bird.
As for Ling Xiaobai, the little creature was exhausted after casting its Innate Divine Techniques twice.
After Chu Ning fed it a Spirit Fruit, it nestled into his sleeve.
Ling Xiaobai resting in the Spirit Beast Bag would naturally be best.
But Chu Ning needed its ability to sense changes in Spiritual Qi to navigate, so it remained outside.
They progressed about eighty li like this.
Through communicating with Ling Xiaobai, Chu Ning learned the direction was indeed leading to thinner Spiritual Qi, which filled him with joy.
But just then, Chu Ning’s expression subtly changed, and his steps faltered for a mont.
Within the Puppet Bird’s sight, a large Demon Beast lay ahead of Chu Ning.
The creature was about as tall as a person but about four or five zhang long, appearing very large.
Its body was covered in gray dirt, with stout limbs faintly visible underneath.
Sharp claws had grasped a boulder, seemingly crushed accidentally in sleep, now mostly shattered.
Upon seeing the beast, Chu Ning vaguely guessed its type, and his face changed slightly.
He quickly turned to leave with Wind Control.
But at the sa mont, the beast’s large eyes suddenly opened, gazing fiercely in Chu Ning’s direction.
In the next mont, the creature swiftly rose, charging towards Chu Ning.
The beast, previously as tall as a person, now exceeded twice that height when standing and running.
Despite being several dozen zhang away, Chu Ning already sensed its powerful, oppressive aura.
"A Tier Two Demon Beast, an Iron Rock Beast!"
Chu Ning’s Divine Sense quickly identified the beast’s true nature, making his expression change.
A Tier Two Demon Beast was comparable to an Early Stage of Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.
Moreover, this beast had formidable defense, with ordinary attacks hard-pressed to harm it.
As thoughts quickly turned, a Black Small Saber appeared in Chu Ning’s hand.
Knowing that flying further would draw closer to the mountain range’s edge, where beasts should be lower-level.
Not wanting to linger here, Chu Ning imdiately resorted to his last-resort strategy.
In no ti, the large Iron Rock Beast appeared within Chu Ning’s field of view.
Its two eyes, glowing green, fixed on Chu Ning’s silhouette, growing increasingly savage.
Yet suddenly, the Tier Two Demon Beast slowed its steps.
Instincts made it sense the dangerous and uneasy aura.
The Tier Two Demon Beast, having intelligent instincts, its big eyes focused on Chu Ning’s Black Small Saber, instantly realizing the source of the danger.
Its eyes flashed with a hint of fear.
But it was already too late, as Chu Ning raised his hand and the Black Small Saber shot out as a bolt of black light.
In an instant, the black light pierced through the Iron Rock Beast’s skull.
To Chu Ning’s slight surprise, the Iron Rock Beast continued running.
"This..."
Alard, Chu Ning brandished different talismanic magical artifacts.
"Boom!"
At that mont, the enormous body of the Iron Rock Beast crashed heavily onto the ground.
It turned out the beast had died too quickly, its body still moving forward due to inertia.
Seeing this, Chu Ning finally relaxed.
Without hesitation, Chu Ning darted forward, quickly retrieved the Black Small Saber, and stored it back in his Storage Bag.
Then he stored the Iron Rock Beast’s corpse in the Storage Bag too.
A Tier Two Demon Beast’s corpse was a treasure.
Chu Ning didn’t have the ti to deal with it now but wouldn’t leave it behind.
Having done all this, Chu Ning prepared to leave imdiately.
However, when he retrieved the Puppet Bird’s Control Magic Mirror from the Storage Bag, he suddenly froze.
Where the Iron Rock Beast once lay, there was now a small figure wriggling.
It looked exactly like the earlier Iron Rock Beast but was over ten tis smaller.
"An Iron Rock Beast cub?"
Chu Ning vaguely guessed, quickly flying over with Wind Control.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered a very small Iron Rock Beast, seemingly newborn, its eyes still closed.
Ling Xiaobai erged from Chu Ning’s sleeve, curiously inspecting the little demon beast.
Seeing this, Chu Ning smiled and said to Ling Xiaobai:
"Xiaobai, how about taking this little one as a companion?"
"Yip!"
Hearing Chu Ning’s words, Ling Xiaobai made a cheerful sound.
Chu Ning chuckled, retrieved a Spirit Beast Bag from his waist, and placed the little Iron Rock Beast inside.
Then, with a flash of his figure, he continued forward.
In a blink, he had vanished.
