Jiang Han was still in the Tianhu Mountain Range, but he wasn't deep within; instead, he was on the Fifth Peak.
With the Divine Ability of Mountain Penetration Technique, the mountains were the safest place for him. Having slaughtered nineteen people in a single day, he knew the situation had escalated.
Not to mention the other clans, the Jiang Family certainly wouldn't let him off. What awaited him next would undoubtedly be the pursuit of experts from the Mystic Void Realm.
The human body has nine great secret repositories, and unlocking just one more can exponentially increase one's combat power. The Mystic Void Realm involves unlocking the second repository, a world apart from the Purple Mansion Realm.
Moreover, those in the Mystic Void Realm generally awaken a Divine Ability, the only difference being the strength of the ability.
Even the weakest Divine Ability is still a Divine Ability, especially when combined with the combat power of the Mystic Void Realm. For Jiang Han, who was in the Purple Mansion Realm, it was a significant threat.
Therefore, Jiang Han planned to stay in the mountains for a few more days to assess the situation. Additionally, he needed to find a way to rescue Jiang Li. Jiang Li was surely heavily guarded, and taking her away quietly would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
He was in a cave on the Fifth Peak, having dug a tunnel dozens of meters deep. He placed some warning devices at the cave entrance, so he would know immediately if anyone entered.
At this moment, Jiang Han was cultivating. After killing nineteen people, he casually took some spoils of war, totaling over twenty bottles of elixirs. Unlike him, other Purple Mansion Realm cultivators were not as poor, each carrying some elixirs.
After refining two bottles of elixirs in one go, Jiang Han finally fell into a deep sleep.
After dawn, he left the cave. He hadn't eaten properly for days and was already starving.
A thick fog had risen in the mountains, reducing visibility to almost nothing.
Jiang Han scanned his surroundings, his expression somewhat grave. This situation made it easy to be ambushed.
He searched around while remaining highly vigilant. The demonic beasts on this peak had been mostly cleared out yesterday. After circling once, he only found two types of edible fruits.
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
Just as Jiang Han was eating the fruits, footsteps suddenly sounded around him. Jiang Han immediately drew his battle knife from his back, lightly landing on the ground, ready to use the Mountain Penetration Technique to escape at any moment. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
"A demonic beast?"
In the dense white fog, a massive figure gradually emerged. It was a gigantic white tiger, over three meters long. Jiang Han glanced at it, his expression changing drastically, as a dark golden light appeared in his hand, ready to dive underground.
This demonic beast was enormous, its beastly aura terrifying, clearly a 2nd Tier Demonic Beast. A 2nd Tier Demonic Beast was comparable to the Mystic Void Realm, and he was no match for it.
"Wait... something's not right!"
Jiang Han's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, his eyes narrowing slightly. There was actually someone on the back of the gigantic white tiger, and it was a beautiful young girl?
"Hey!"
The girl on the white tiger's back noticed Jiang Han and excitedly called out from afar, "Little brother, don't run! Don't be afraid, Little White won't hurt you!"
"Little brother? Little White?"
Jiang Han's forehead was lined with black lines. This girl looked younger than him, yet she called him little brother? And this over three-meter-long demonic beast was a 2nd Tier Demonic Beast. What was this girl's background, to be able to tame a 2nd Tier Demonic Beast as a mount?
The girl's tone was friendly, and Jiang Han slightly lowered his guard, but the dark golden light in his hand remained, ready to escape at any moment.
The girl wore a pink pleated skirt, her features delicate like a porcelain doll. Unfortunately, her chest was flat, even flatter than Jiang Han's, seemingly not yet at the age of development.
The girl controlled the gigantic white tiger to slowly approach, stopping at a distance of three meters from Jiang Han. The beast's aura was so oppressive that Jiang Han found it hard to breathe.
"Little brother!"
The girl grabbed a small tuft of white mane on the white tiger's head with both hands, grinning to reveal two adorable little tiger teeth, and looked at Jiang Han, saying, "Where is this place? Do you know?"
Jiang Han blinked, thinking to himself that this pretty girl was indeed not from the nearby villages or towns, and replied, "This is Blackhead Peak."
A ring on the girl's finger flashed, and a map appeared in her hand. Jiang Han glanced at it, looking surprised.
Could this ring be the legendary spatial ring? A high-level Mystic Device with its own space, capable of storing all things? It was said to be extremely expensive, and only a few elders and the clan leader of the Jiang Clan were qualified to own one.
"Blackhead Peak, we're not far from Du Family Town now. After half a month... I've finally made it out!"
The girl glanced at the map, and with a flash of light from the ring, the map disappeared. She patted the white tiger, which bypassed Jiang Han and ran down the mountain.
"Thanks, little brother, see you if fate allows."
Jiang Han pursed his lips, feeling awkward being called "little brother" by a girl. After pondering for a moment, he headed deeper into the mountains.
……
Jiang Han's choice was indeed correct!
About half an hour after he left, a large group of people ascended the mountain.
Jiang Xiaotian personally led the group, bringing thirty Hunting Squad members and forty ordinary clan members, though these clan members all had at least the combat power of the fifth level of the Purple Mansion Realm.
Jiang Xiaotian divided these seventy people into seven groups, ten people per group, and began a carpet search.
One must admit, Jiang Xiaotian's approach was quite effective. With ten people in a group, even if Jiang Han could kill four or five, he couldn't kill all ten. Jiang Xiaotian was confident that as long as Jiang Han was found, he could kill him with one move!
"Search, search carefully for me!"
Jiang Xiaotian ordered in a deep voice, "If you find Jiang Han, don't engage. Release a signal flare immediately. Pay attention to search for tunnels, and report any tunnel entrances promptly. Does he think he can rest easy by burrowing underground? Even if he can fly and escape, today I'll cut him down!"
