The spiritual pond!

Li Xinrou walked silently behind Zhao Dong, Yang Kai and her dead grandfather.

Despite being the heroine, she just met Tang so, she didn't have much hatred because of him.

But, her grandfather despite being cold and ruthless to others, was very dotting with his granddaughter.

So, she hated Zhao Dong and Yang Kai for killing her grandfather.

As for her mother, she ran away as soon as the family was attacked.

From time to time, Zhao Dong looked at her baby cheeks and white neck.

She was indeed innocent and jade-like.

...

"Boss, I can sense a powerful spiritual energy over there..." Yang Kai who was silent till now, said while pointing at a mountain.

"Forgotten valley mountain?" Zhao Dong raised his eyebrows.

It's a forbidden mountain with many powerful monsters.

Based on Lin Fei's story, there is a spiritual pool over there that can strengthen body physique and grants cultivation boost.

Lin Fei was supposed to reach the golden core realm there.

However the spiritual pool should be formed one years later, not now.

Was it a change after the chosen one died?

Seems like it.

...

But, going there right now would be troublesome.

According to the plot, the powerful monsters should have been killed by some celestial sects.

So, right now, there are powerful monsters of the Holy saint realm or even higher.

The boss monster or main monster there is said to be at the 8th stage of the Supreme foundation realm.

Realm above Holy saint realm.

Lin Fei, when he arrived there, the monster was already dead, but his body was preserved, and there was a huge amount of blood essence.

The protagonist was truly blessed getting rewards here and there.

One could only be envious of such luck.

But, Zhao Dong, isn't someone who relies on luck.

He has a demonic flute.

He can't control the mind of a powerful monster for a long time but he can buy enough time for Yang Kai to land a killing blow.

Not to mention, if Zhao Dong goes this early, he might get more harvest.

"ok, let's go..." Zhao Dong said.

"Ok, boss..."

With that, four of them, went to the forgotten mountain valley.

---

They approach the mountain cautiously, the aura of ancient monsters heavy in the air.

They can sense the power of the spiritual pool at the top, and the potential it holds to strengthen their cultivation.

The spiritual power was too much.

Maybe someone who came here before the Protagonist, wasn't here to kill the monsters but to absorb the pure essence of spiritual pool.

But they can also sense the presence of powerful monsters who have made this mountain their home, and it is not going to be an easy task to reach the top.

Just few meter ahead they can sense five monsters at mid-stage of golden core realm.

These monsters aren't that powerful but, golden core realm monsters at bottom?

Just how powerful monsters are there?

As they start their climb, they are watchful and alert, ready for whatever dangers comes.

Because who knows when and how monster might attack.

As they moved up, the forest was thick and dense.

They already encounter holy saint realm monsters.

Zhao Dong even killed two of them, sadly, Yang Kai couldn't turn them into puppet.

Turing someone into puppet cost true essence and after turning someone into puppet at this stage, he need rest for two to three months to fully recover.

Li Xinrou who came with them, couldn't help but feel scared.

These two were monsters.

They look so young but has powerful strength, even powerful than her grandpa who cultivated for hundreds of years.

They are definitely once-in-a million years geniuses.

But that doesn't change the fact they are monsters.

What's more, this Yang Kai even goes against the ancestral teaching.

She clenched her fist knowing she can never take revenge.

"What's the point of bringing me here?"

Li Xinrou asks, trying to hide the fear that's growing inside her.

"You've already killed my grandfather, what more do you want from me?"

She didn't had a good feeling.

They were in dense forest, in forbidden mountain.

Who knows what they might do to her.

She was afraid, they might do unthinkable and throw her, to be eaten by monsters.

She didn't wished to die like that.

Zhao Dong turns around, a sly smile spreading across his face as he gazes at Li Xinrou.

He knew what she was thinking, well, any woman would be scared in such situation unless they only think with their pussy.

Not to mention, his eyes seem to undress her, and his voice takes on a flirtatious tone.

"Ah, little one, you're so cute when you're angry..."

Zhao Dong says, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Roarrrr!

A loud roar echoed through the forest.

"It's a furious lightning tiger, it has already reached the 7th stage of Holy Saint realm,"

Zhao Dong smiled.

It was a perfect dummy to test his strength, since he was at the 8th stage of Holy Saint realm.

The roar was so powerful, Li Xinrou eye's and ears start to bleed.

It's a monster roar.

It has ability to weaken the person.

Like 'fear' in MMORPG games.

Even the puppet of Old Man Li got on his knees.

..

Li Xinrou's eyes widened from the intense pressure.

She stumbled backward, her hands covering her ears, trying to block out the sound.

Her eyes were fixed on the furious lightning tiger, that descended Infront of them with a long jump, her heart racing with fear.

It was a large tiger with electric energy around his body.

"N-no...this can't be happening..." Li Xinrou stuttered, her voice shaking with terror.

"You're going to feed me to that monster, aren't you?" She glared at Zhao Dong, her eyes accusing.

She beleived, they brought her, inorder to sacrifice her to this monster.

Like a virgin sacrifice.

This woman thinks too much.

"Shut up!" Zhao Dong hissed like a venomous snake.

After that he launched forward, a large golden phantom hand forming above his body.

"Heavenly Fist I"

Bang!

The fist hit tiger, instantly killing him.

Zhao Dong: "..."

Zhao Dong was surprised.

He actually killed a beast at 7th stage ofthe holy saint with one strike?

No!

Looking closely, tiger had multiple wounds.

It seems tiger had faught a powerful foe beforehand weakening him greatly.

Monsters have more durable physique compared to humans.

Still, it was a great achievement.

"You..." Even Miss Li was shocked.

She could have never believe that Young Master Zhao was this powerful.

This makes no sense at all.

How could he progress so much in such a short period of time?

Even if he used demonic method, he shouldn't progress this fast.

Able to kill such powerful beast in a single attack?

Eesh! She can't help but tremble.

Fear and fear.

She almost peed right there.

"Boss, there are few tiger pups, should we kill them or tame them? These beast doesn't have powerful bloodline but they can at least reach supreme foundation realm when they grow up," Yang Kai said.

World is big and this is just a small village.

Supreme Foundation realm is merely a ant compared to capital.

However even if these pups can reach supreme foundation realm, it's worth raising them.

"Good, let's take them and raise them... They can support my Zhao family,"

"Got it!"

Such a good thing, came for spiritual pool, but got future mount.

These lightning tiger are very fast.

At least 5 to 6 times faster than their fastest horse.

They have the natural art called "lightning walk".
