Luo Yi remained hidden within the bushes beside the apple tree, waiting for the right moment to reveal himself.Not long afterward, the howls of wolves began to echo one after another. At that moment, Luo Yi saw the cultivators each draw their weapons from their storage rings, preparing for the battle ahead.As the growls of the so-called terrifying creatures became increasingly distinct, Luo Yi activated the Horizon Eye Technique and looked toward the direction from which the creatures were approaching."There they are..." he murmured when the horde of creatures finally came clearly into view.Indeed, just as the merchants had described. These terrifying creatures had muscular human-like bodies covered in thick fur, wolf heads, and deer legs. Their eyes glowed crimson like burning embers, and their fangs were long and razor-sharp."Look! They're coming!" one of the cultivators, already prepared for battle, shouted."All right! Let's attack those Wolf-Deer Demons and protect our clan

Deep within Huoluo Forest stood an enormous building. It contained countless rooms. In one of the innermost chambers, a man in a white robe and glasses was busily absorbed in his work.His fingers moved swiftly across a keyboard. Before him floated a holographic screen displaying the organs and cellular structures of the Wolf-Deer Demons.A cunning smile spread across the man's face before he said, "At last, I've created a Wolf-Deer Demon whose strength rivals that of a Knight Realm cultivator. Soon, Qing Yuan, I'll make you pay for what you've done. I'll reduce the entire Tianjing Capital to rubble!"The man in the white robe burst into triumphant laughter. However, his laughter came to an abrupt stop when he suddenly heard someone's voice from behind him."So, you're the mastermind behind the appearance of the Wolf-Deer Demons?"The man in the white robe spun around immediately. His eyes widened the moment he saw a young man in a bluish-green robe staring at him with an expressionle

Luo Yi cupped his fist before his chest as a sign of respect toward the Grand Councilor before saying, "My apologies, Your Excellency. I did not come here to fight. I came to tell you something important.""What important matter do you wish to tell me?" Qing Yuan asked, his gaze fixed on Luo Yi's face, searching for even the slightest trace of fear. Yet all he saw was an expressionless face and calm eyes, as though the young man was completely unaffected by the aura of the Knight Realm radiating from him."I already know who is behind the appearance of the Wolf Deer Demons," Luo Yi replied, causing everyone present—especially the Grand Councilor—to widen their eyes in shock."Is that true?" Qing Yuan asked, and Luo Yi nodded. "Where is he now? Have you already killed him?""I have never harmed or killed another human because I have my own way of bringing people back to their senses," Luo Yi answered calmly.Qing Yuan stared sharply at Luo

Qing Lao watched Luo Yi as he calmly walked toward the inn. Deep down, he wanted to ask why the young man had chosen a place so close to the forest.However, remembering how kind Luo Yi had been while speaking with him, Qing Lao felt uncomfortable asking a question that carried such obvious suspicion.In the depths of his heart, Qing Lao believed Luo Yi was an honest and sincere person. He simply could not imagine someone like him betraying the clan or trying to escape.If this hadn't been the Supreme Councilor's direct order, Qing Lao would have told his fellow guards that Luo Yi didn't need to be watched so closely, because he was someone worthy of complete trust.---Deep within Huoluo Forest, inside the main chamber of Xuejia Laboratory, the protective formation of green energy surrounding the man gradually faded away, while the Seal of Light that had imprisoned his soul inside the illusionary world finally dissolved.Not lon

Qing Ling looked toward Qing Xuejia before saying, 'Why is that wanderer taking so long?'Qing Ying glanced back at the members of her squad, who were already beginning to tire as their energy was constantly being drained to maintain the Four Cardinal Winds Formation. 'If this takes much longer, I'm afraid our troops will run out of energy before the wanderer arrives.''Come on, Qing Zi, let's just kill him now!' Qing Shou said. 'We don't have much time left.''Be patient a little longer!' Qing Zi replied. 'That wanderer will be here soon.'A few moments after Qing Zi said that, they suddenly felt an aura of tranquility before hearing someone say, "You don't need such a powerful formation to confine Qing Xuejia. Even without being imprisoned, he won't do anything that endangers you or your clan."All the cultivators immediately turned toward the source of the voice. From afar, Luo Yi stood calmly atop a sword floating in the air, about ten zhang above the ground.Although Luo Yi had n
