Chapter 1380: Hunting Conflict in the Back Mountain
Yaoyue nodded and said directly, "Young master, the demonic beasts are still inside, but most of the ones on the outer perimeter have been killed, so we need to continue forward."
Chu Chen didn't answer, but simply led her forward.
He expressed his approval of Yaoyue's generous offer of two spirit stones to allow him to hunt.
Keep in mind, she only earns twelve spirit stones a month.
Perhaps she could ask Yan Jian for reimbursement when she got back, but in Xiao Xiu's eyes, it was already quite good that he would take out such a precious item voluntarily.
The two walked in tandem.
Chu Chen held a sniper rifle in his hand and a large-caliber pistol at his waist.
Yaoyue also took out a cyan longsword from her storage bag and looked around warily.
Suddenly, the roar of a wild beast reached their ears.
Chu Chen immediately took the sniper rifle off his back, cocked it with a click, and aimed directly at the direction of the sound.
Yaoyue immediately drew her longsword: "Young master, there are demonic beasts over there."
After saying that, the two rushed toward the direction of the sound.
After running for about 500 meters, Yaoyue suddenly stopped.
"Oh no, young master, it's a Xuan Ying Tiger at the ninth level of Qi Refining! We must leave quickly!"
"Moreover, he was hunting down his disciples."
Chu Chen held the gun, thinking to himself, "A ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator can't even break through my defenses, what's there to be afraid of?"
However, just as Yaoyue finished speaking and was about to move to pull Chu Chen away, she saw several disheveled disciples spot the two of them and immediately turned and rushed towards them.
"Junior sister, help me!"
"Holy crap, this is a deliberate attempt to shift the blame. These guys don't seem like good people!"
As Chu Chen watched them rush towards him, he immediately spoke to Yao Yue.
Yaoyue frowned slightly: "That's right, I wonder which peak this disciple is from, but he has a very bad heart!"
After speaking, Yaoyue also looked at the newcomer with an unfriendly expression.
Chu Chen calmly said to Yao Yue, "Get behind me, I'll deal with the monster. I'll take you out for barbecue later."
After saying that, Chu Chen squatted down with his sniper rifle in hand.
Then he aimed directly at the charging Shadow Tiger through the scope and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Even though it was a demon beast at the ninth level of Qi Refining, at such close range and without any warning, it had no time to dodge and was pierced through the head by the spinning bullet.
Xuan Yinghu never knew until his death that he had been killed by the very ordinary person he despised and treated as food.
After hearing the loud noise, everyone else looked at the Shadow Tiger behind them.
When they saw that Xuan Yinghu had fallen into a pool of blood, everyone was overjoyed and immediately turned around and ran towards Xuan Yinghu.
"Hahaha, that beast is finally dead!"
"Senior brother, it seems we've struck it rich today!"
Chu Chen followed Yao Yue to Xuan Yinghu's side.
Upon seeing Chu Chen and Yao Yue, the group immediately said, "Junior sister, and...brother, everyone has a share. We won't take advantage of you, let's split it evenly!"
After they saw that Chu Chen was an ordinary person with no aura of a cultivator, they looked at Yao Yue, who was at the third level of Qi Refining.
A decision was made immediately.
"Why should you share the spoils when the young master of Xuan Yinghu killed him?"
Unable to bear it any longer, Yaoyue immediately started arguing.
"Hehe, if it weren't for us, you wouldn't have been able to attract the Shadow Tiger, right? So, junior sister, splitting it equally is already the biggest concession we can make for you."
"Otherwise, with your Qi Refining Level 3 and him being an ordinary person?"
"Which peak are you disciples from? How can you be so unreasonable? If it weren't for the young master, you would all be dead by now."
Yaoyue was furious. She never expected that this group of people, who initially wanted to shift the blame, would now try to bully them because they saw that she was not strong enough.
Chu Chen smiled slightly after hearing this; he wasn't angry about it.
It was nothing more than clicking the sniper rifle into chamber and then raising it to press against the person speaking over their head.
"Do you think your skull is harder than its?"
Upon seeing Chu Chen's dark gun barrel, the man who had been speaking immediately shut his mouth.
Yes, the Shadow Tiger was killed by this divine weapon. If it can kill a Shadow Tiger, how could it be an ordinary person?
However, this person was unfamiliar; I didn't know him at all, nor had I ever heard of anyone who used such a magical artifact. Should I gamble?
"Brother, we need to be reasonable too!"
"You want to reason with what I have?"
Chu Chen didn't waste words with them. Instead, he simply focused his mind on the corpse of the Xuan Ying Tiger and stored it in his spatial storage.
Then he grabbed Yaoyue and turned to leave.
After being humiliated, the man behind him immediately chased after him, unwilling to give up.
"Kid, if you've got the guts, leave your name. I may not be a match for you, but there's always someone who can reason with you."
Chu Chen turned around and glared at him, but didn't answer. He then pulled Yao Yue and continued walking outside.
But the people behind them wouldn't let it go and actually followed.
Upon seeing Chu Chen and Yao Yue return at the entrance, the two guards immediately revealed a fawning smile: "You two came out so quickly, it seems you've had quite a haul."
"Heh, just a Xuan Ying Tiger at the ninth level of Qi Refining."
Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, the two were immediately shocked. No wonder this person had the token of the Crimson Feather Peak Master; it seemed he was a powerful figure who had been hiding his aura.
Immediately, the two men became extremely respectful.
"Congratulations, young master, congratulations, junior sister."
Chu Chen was never stingy with gifts for gatekeepers like this, and with a wave of his hand, he took out several bottles of liquor and handed them over.
Then he said, "Fine wine, you can't buy it even if you have money!"
"Haha, then thank you very much, young master!"
Chu Chen did not answer, and returned to his house with Yao Yue.
The person who was following him, after arriving at the gate, spoke politely to the two guards and obtained a piece of information.
That is, Chu Chen has the token of the Crimson Feather Peak Master.
After hearing this, the group immediately lost all will to resist.
The token of the Crimson Feather Peak Master means that this person must be a close associate of Yan Jian, or even an illegitimate child.
They were just ordinary disciples; how could they dare to provoke this Nascent Soul stage expert who was known for protecting his own?
I can only accept my bad luck, but at least they saved me, so I guess I gained something.
Chu Chen never took these people seriously. After returning to his residence, he immediately brought out the Shadow Tiger.
Then he said to Yaoyue, "Do you know what to do with this thing?"
"Young master, the cook knows that this tiger skin can be sold for a lot of spirit stones, and the meat is also valuable. It's just that he hasn't reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet, so he doesn't have an inner core."
