Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

It was time to make a decision.

Whether to ignore these people and continue the pursuit of the Twin-winged White Tiger,

or to give up the chase and leave with the other three Golden Elixir Masters by his side.

That was the question.

On one side was the increasingly slim chance of capturing the Twin-winged White Tiger,

on the other was the opportunity to save lives and quickly distance oneself from the center of the vortex.

At first glance, both choices seemed viable.

After all, the chance to capture the Twin-winged White Tiger only seemed to be getting slimmer,

but there was always that sliver of a chance.

Leaving directly, and putting distance between oneself and this place, would surely allow for a speedy departure from the core of this incident, without further concern for personal safety.

In such circumstances, True Monarch Fei Hu, after having contemplated for quite a while amidst the ever-growing arrival of other Golden Elixir Masters, ultimately made a decision.

Once the number of unfamiliar Golden Elixir Masters around him reached a certain level, True Monarch Fei Hu gave a slight bow to all sides.

“This Twin-winged White Tiger was coincidentally discovered by me,”

“I intended to capture it with the three daoists by my side to make it our spirit beast,”

“Alas, we made a misstep in our strategy, allowing it to escape.”

“Now that all the esteemed daoists have arrived, we four shall no longer be an eyesore here.”

“Going forward, daoists, please use your own skills.”

“We’re leaving!”

Following the words of True Monarch Fei Hu, the other three Golden Elixir Masters who came with him also bowed to all sides.

Then, they followed True Monarch Fei Hu, turned around, and left for the distance.

This was an agreement the four had made while pursuing the Twin-winged White Tiger, upon seeing more and more people arriving.

Since capturing the Twin-winged White Tiger had become hopeless, it was better to leave early instead of being dragged into a chaotic battle.

In such chaos, the death of a few Golden Elixir Masters really meant nothing.

Not wanting to risk their lives and possessions, the four naturally reached a consensus and quickly headed toward the Zichuan Prefecture Government under the leadership of True Monarch Fei Hu.

Regarding the departure of True Monarch Fei Hu and his companions,

the Golden Elixir Masters who had come from afar to fish in troubled waters had no intention of stopping them.

Of course, there were indeed some who wanted to stop them.

But the presence of four Golden Elixir Masters was enough to halt the steps of those with such intentions.

A group of four Golden Elixir Masters, even in a place as crowded with them as this, represented a force not to be underestimated.

Instead of speaking out and making enemies, it was better to let them leave.

Perhaps, by doing so, one competitor for the Twin-winged White Tiger would be eliminated in the ensuing battle for its possession.

Thus,

True Monarch Fei Hu and his companions quickly returned to the Zichuan Prefecture Government and started to lie low within.

Inside the Zichuan Prefecture Government, there was a Gold Core Cultivator from the Golden Snake Sect stationed.

Even though there were many Gold Core Cultivators in the Purple River State at present, nobody would dare cause trouble within the Zichuan Prefecture Government.

And precisely because of this, once he secured his safety, True Monarch Fei Hu then relayed the news to He Song.

Based on his guesses, along with everything that occurred during the capture of the Twin-winged White Tiger,

He Song really was just as he said—already in Purple Cloud Sect’s area of influence, far from Purple River State.

Therefore, his attempt to test and determine He Song’s whereabouts through his messages now seemed a rather petty move.

Feeling ashamed, True Monarch Fei Hu.

The communication between him and He Song naturally became much more frequent.

It was also because of this that He Song, during his five years of seclusive cultivation, learned quite a few details about the aftermath of this affair from True Monarch Fei Hu.

After True Monarch Fei Hu, along with the other three Golden Elixir Masters, left and returned to Zichuan Prefecture Government,

it was just a matter of days.

Fluctuations from the Gold Core Cultivators’ Fighting Law in the Purple River State began to come one after another.

Some Gold Core Cultivators fought near the banks of the Purple River, their overwhelming auras altering the course of the river with powerful blasts.

Some Gold Core Cultivators fought in remote areas, unleashing a plethora of Golden Elixir Skills.

Others encountered foes and engaged in fierce combat, but in the end, neither could gain the upper hand and both reluctantly left in discontent.

There were Gold Core Masters…

As these events unfolded, the entirety of Purple River State suddenly descended into chaos.

The Gold Core Masters who came here changed their expressions upon hearing the news.

However, tempted by the presence of a Gold Core demonic beast like the Twin-winged White Tiger, the number of Golden Elixir Masters arriving in Purple River State continued to grow over time.

Each Golden Elixir Master wanted to be the one to claim the Twin-winged White Tiger, letting it become a significant aid on their path of Gold Core Cultivation.

But as more and more thought this way, the Gold Core Realm Twin-winged White Tiger inevitably caught the attention of even more people.

As more Golden Elixir Masters arrived in Purple River State,

the multitude of Masters naturally became hesitant to make a move.

For a time, nobody dared to take the first step to strike at the Tiger,

because everyone knew,

that the first to act would inevitably become the target of a collective assault.

If one didn’t possess overwhelming strength to withstand the attacks of so many Golden Elixir Masters without perishing,

then in a situation where every surrounding Golden Elixir Master joined in the attack, that person would likely be blasted to dust in an instant.

The Golden Elixir Masters who came here,

each of them wanted to take the Gold Core Realm Twin-winged White Tiger for themselves.

They did not come to risk their lives recklessly.

In such a scenario, naturally, no one dared to be the first to make a move and seek death.
