If the spiritual creature had been something a person he knew needed to survive, Cang Wuyin might have felt a little guilty about taking it.But this creature was different.The person who would have obtained it was a disciple of evil. Worse, the creature had wagged its tail and surrendered the moment the Four Tyrants of the World invaded.There was no way Cang Wuyin could hand it over to someone like that.Rather than allowing such a creature to fall into their hands and contribute to the chaos that would eventually engulf the world, it was better for him to take it first.“The problem is where it is.”Spiritual herbs and spiritual creatures were not things that appeared simply because someone wanted to find them.If fate did not align, a person could search right in front of one and still fail to notice it. That was one of the strange characteristics of spiritual herbs and creatures.They also instinctively knew how to conceal their energy.In that sense, finding one was almost like

As though proving that point, Cang Wuyin caught Wushuang’s decisive knee strike with his left hand.The knee came forward like an awl, sharp and vicious, while true sword force even erupted from it. Yet Cang Wuyin simply raised his forearm and stopped the attack as though it posed no threat at all.His fingers closed around Wushuang’s knee.Then his sword swept out in a wide arc.Slash. Ssk.A faint sound of flesh being torn apart followed.Both of Wushuang’s legs were severed.The cuts came so quickly that Wushuang did not even have time to react. His legs were simply gone, and his mouth opened in shock as the pain finally overwhelmed him.It was so intense that he could not even produce a proper scream.“Huh…!”“……!”Shen Tianyuan and the escort warriors stood frozen.They had witnessed the entire battle, yet even after seeing it with their own eyes, none of them could believe what had just happened.Wushuang was the Iron King, one of the three kings who stood at the very peak among

“Then by the Rong Family’s young lord, you mean Heavenly Dragon, one of the Four Dragons and Three Phoenixes?”“That is correct. The rising juniors visited Shaolin and met Great Hero Cang, and Heavenly Dragon was the one who first requested a sparring match. From this, it seems the Rong Family’s young lord already knew something about Great Hero Cang.”“There’s no need to ask about the result, is there?”“Yes. It was said to have been an overwhelming victory for Great Hero Cang.”This time, Shen Tianyuan showed no surprise.Although the status of the Iron Kings was said to fall below that of the Ten Great Masters Under Heaven, they were still warriors who had earned the title of king through their own strength.The Iron Kings were men who had spent at least twenty years, and sometimes nearly thirty, surviving by living on the edge of the blade. Each of them had endured countless battles to reach the pinnacle of wandering warriors.Cang Wuyin had defeated one of the three.Compared to

Shen Tianyuan showed a genuinely regretful expression.As he had said, he truly wanted to repay Cang Wuyin for saving his life. However, because he also had another purpose in mind, he could not help feeling a little troubled about it.“Just the food is enough.”“That will not do. It was not just any help, you saved my life. That value cannot be repaid with mere food. I may be a merchant, but that does not mean I am ignorant of gratitude. So, please accept this.”Tak.Shen Tianyuan reached into his robes and took out a small gold plaque.It was a round plaque roughly the size of his palm, with Shen Tianyuan’s name engraved prominently in the center.“What is this?”“It is a kind of identification token that proves you are my benefactor. It is real gold as well, but more importantly, it is given only to those I personally choose. Simply by showing this gold plaque at the Shen Family Estate, you can borrow fifty taels of silver without any compensation.”“I cannot accept this.”Cang Wuy

It might have been a trick of the thick fog.Perhaps what he had seen was only a mountain rabbit.But Cang Wuyin did not hesitate.Even if his eyes had deceived him, the moment he caught sight of something resembling the creature he had been searching for, he knew he had to confirm it.Ssssk!Perhaps it had sensed his presence.The pale creature suddenly sprang away.It was a toad, but at least twice the size of the others around it. The moment Cang Wuyin saw it leap toward the water, his eyes lit up.He had finally found the White Toad of a Hundred Years he had searched so desperately for.“Found it!”Its color and size were completely different from those of ordinary toads, leaving no doubt in Cang Wuyin’s mind.It was almost like finding a mountain ginseng.Although it was called Baeknyeon Baekseom, Cang Wuyin had heard that this particular spiritual creature had lived for at least five hundred years.That was more than enough reason for him to want it.Cang Wuyin immediately poure
