16 Calm Before The Storm
Innumerable stars flooded the night sky, illuminating the whole forest with silvery starlight.
Somewhere in a clearing in the dense forest, a giant river came gushing over the mountain rocks and the river water reflecting the starlight sparkled with a silver shine.
After a few seconds passed, when there was no movement near the river, a silhouette stepped out from the woods.
It was a young boy in tattered black clothes. His face was childish, with thin lips, and long eyebrows. A set of fine black eyes added a sharp feeling to his face. An extremely handsome young man.
His long black hairs were somewhat messy with a blood stained sword in his hands making him look extremely domineering.
Who else would it be if not Ling Tian!
Wiping the sweat off his forehead he looked at the river in front of him with some excitement hidden in the depth of his eyes.
This marks the completion of my first goal!
In the beginning, he thought that it would take at least 3 days before he could reach this place, but who knew his new movement technique was so fast, It hasn't been even a day since he started his journey and he has already arrived at his destination!
Thinking of this Ling Tian was extremely satisfied with his decision of getting the Storm Riding Footsteps.
For a while, Ling Tian just stood in his place, listening to the noise of river water colliding with mountain rocks. Although it was a bit loud, but it had a strange effect which gave him the feeling of peace.
Ling Tian took a deep breath and decided to rest here for a bit, although he was already a ninth layer of the body tempering realm, the continuous use of storm-riding footsteps has still exhausted him.
After finding a sturdy, wide branch on a tree, Ling Tian leaned against its trunk and took out some roasted meat that he prepared before he left the small cave.
After filling his stomach, Ling Tian admired the beautiful scenery in front of him as he tried to think about his next course of action.
But maybe because he was too tired his eyes gradually began to feel heavy and he felt an irresistible urge to sleep, Ling Tian didn't resist it, although his current situation was somewhat dangerous, it was also necessary, but he didn't forget to scan the area around him before going to sleep.
Immediately after that, a map of an area of hundred meters around him, as well as the position of every single living being appeared in his mind.
"What?" Suddenly Ling Tian noticed something that completely blew away his urge to sleep and his expression turned solemn!
"There's a [Silver Wolf King] in the west direction 87 meters away from the host!"
"There's a [Silver Wolf Queen] in the north direction 70 meters away from the host!"
"There are 11 [Silver Wolves] in the....."
Linn Tian was surrounded!
And there were at least 50 silver wolves around him! But that was not what Ling Tian worried about, he was already very familiar with silver wolves and he knew they weren't very strong.
What actually scared him were the silver wolf King and silver wolf Queen! And When he checked their status he knew that his instincts were spot on!

"Fourth.....Fourth layer of origin gathering realm!? Are you kidding me!?" The moment Ling Tian saw their cultivation base he felt his hair on end and his back was drenched in a cold sweat!
No way, this was far beyond what he could deal with!
Although the gap between the body tempering realm and the origin gathering realm was not like the difference between heaven and earth, it was still great!
If it was just the first or second layer of origin gather realm, Ling Tian could still somehow deal with it, but this silver wolf king was whole five layers above him! If Ling Tian dared to fight it then he would die without a doubt, not to mention there was a silver wolf queen as well!
Suddenly, Ling Tian noticed that the wolves suddenly moved, little by little they stepped closer to him without making any sound, if not for the system, Ling Tian would never be able to sense them!
No! I have to do something!
Ling Tian desperately tried to think of a way to get out of his current situation as he resisted his urge to look towards the silver wolf king, he knew that doing so would only make them approach him faster.
That's right! The demon repelling grass!
Ling Tian hurriedly took out the demon repelling grass from the system's space and a wisp of yang element true qi appeared on his finger.
Yang element true qi was inherently extremely hot in nature, so it didn't even take a second before the demon repelling grass started burning, resulting in a large amount of purple smoke!
Ling Tian was lucky that there was no wind at this time, that's why the purple smoke was able to uniformly spread in all directions and since the purple smoke was heavier than air, it didn't rise up either.
Ling Tian took out the dark steel sword and prepared himself for the worst, if even the demon repelling grass didn't work then he'll just fight his way out!
Ling Tian cursed in his heart as he nervously watched the silver wolves that were still getting closer and closer to him.
But Just when the silver wolves were only about fifty meters away from him, suddenly they stopped!
When Ling Tian looked around him, he discovered that his surroundings were now completely filled with a cloud of purple smoke, sure enough, it didn't seem to have any effect on Ling Tian himself but when the silver wolves inhaled the purple smoke, it was as if they have encountered something terrible and they hurriedly started retreating!
Ling Tian finally stood up and glanced at the silver wolf king that was not too far away from him, although it was nighttime, the giant figure of the silver wolf king was still perfectly visible due to the starlight!
Upon noticing Ling Tian's gaze, the silver wolf king looked back at him with its bloodthirsty eyes and growled in hatred, it very much wanted to rush forward and tear Ling Tian to pieces but the purple smoke was just too unbearable, just inhaling a bit of it made the silver wolf king feel as if its nose was poked by needles, in the end it had no choice but to retreat!
Seeing this situation although Ling Tian sighed in relief but he was not happy at all! He knew it was just the calm before a storm, although the silver wolves have retreated, they didn't go very far, they would certainly attack again as soon as the demon repelling grass runs out.
Whether he tries to escape or not a battle was inevitable! Before the demon repelling grass runs out he has to make enough preparations, otherwise, there was no way he's going to survive!
Thinking of this Ling Tian didn't hesitate any Longer and opened the heaven-defying shop!
