After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 976 Elephant Herd Surrounds the Mountain, White Fox Returns!
"That's right, that old dog has already secretly called for help, but it said there was no response from the other side. I don't know if that's true or not."

Mo Yuan glanced at the already lifeless Wild Dog King, "Master, better safe than sorry. This Shi Xiang Sheng is no pushover. If he received this old dog's plea for help, he's probably already on his way. We should prepare as soon as possible..."

Chen Yang nodded slightly, his gaze turning towards the golden eagle.

"Sir, spare your life!"

The golden eagle felt its soul tremble, forgetting all its pain, and lay prostrate on the ground, wanting only to survive.

"Master, this place is not safe to stay for long," Mo Yuan warned.

The Wild Dog King has already requested help. Even if the other party hasn't responded, it doesn't mean they haven't received the request for help. They are likely already on their way.

Although their goal was to lure this person out, they would be in a difficult position if they were caught red-handed.

After all, Shi Xiang Sheng's strength shouldn't be too bad, and Chen Yang probably wouldn't want to have a direct confrontation with him.

"Kill him."

Chen Yang slowly uttered three words.

"Yes."

Mo Yuan's eyes lit up; he couldn't wait any longer. He picked up his sword and headed toward the golden eagle.

"Shh!"

A sword slashed across the golden eagle's neck, ending its life.

Its weak primordial spirit didn't even have time to escape before it was shattered by its four realms of sword intent.

The golden eagle didn't even utter a cry before its head fell off its neck.

Mo Yuan turned around and struck again with his sword, cleanly and swiftly taking away the Wild Dog King as well.

Next, they cut open the two's bellies and took out their inner cores. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water.

Such proficiency is clearly not something that can be achieved in one or two sessions.

Mo Yuan held up two bloody inner cores and handed them to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang accepted it directly.

They also collected the golden eagle's carcass and the red rope from the wild dog king.

He came to the body of the wild dog king, took out five prayer beads, and stuffed them into the hole in its belly.

Immediately afterwards, he summoned a bone-eating beetle that had just entered the Spirit Realm.

The bone-eating beetle left its spiritual imprint on the mountain king's seal, and then crawled into the belly of the wild dog king.

Mo Yuan watched from the side, his eyes filled with an unreadable emotion.

It knew that its master was plotting against it again.

"go!"

After doing all this, Chen Yang gave an instruction.

The man and the rat quickly evacuated.

Only the body of the Wild Dog King remained in the same spot.

A rosary, plus an A-grade bone-eating beetle, is practically a perfect remote-controlled bomb.

Chen Yang can monitor the situation on site through the mental imprint of the bone-eating beetle, and he can also use the bone-eating beetle to detonate the rosary inside the Wild Dog King at any time.

If that person dares to come, he will be seriously injured if not killed.

……

Chen Yang quickly left the place of trouble.

But they didn't go too far. About ten miles to the west, they found a secluded hilltop and hid there.

At this distance, you can either finish off the enemy or retreat to escape.

Now the trap has been set; it's just a matter of whether the prey will come.

Chen Yang decided to wait for most of the day. If no one came by tomorrow morning, he would reconsider.

Firstly, he doesn't have that much time; he can't afford to wait.

Secondly, this secret realm is neither small nor large; half a day is enough time for a Dao True Realm being to travel a great distance.

If they don't come by tomorrow morning, it just means they most likely won't be coming.

……

On the mountain, Chen Yang found a small cave and sat down to meditate and rest.

The cave entrance faces the direction of Golden Eagle Ridge, and you can see Golden Eagle Ridge completely from there.

Mo Yuan lay down next to Chen Yang, digesting the energy within his body.

It had swallowed several inner cores of the Creation Realm. Although its physical body was powerful, it still needed to spend time refining them to increase its cultivation.

"Have you ever heard of Shi Xiang Sheng?" Chen Yang asked.

Mo Yuan shook his head. "Never heard of him. He's probably some unknown junior."

"Where is the Yuling Sect?" Chen Yang opened his eyes and continued to ask.

If this sect exists, Mo Yuan is old and senior enough that there's no reason he wouldn't have heard of it.

Mo Yuan said, "I have heard of the Spirit Control Sect, but I don't know much about it. It seems to be related to the Ping Tian Sect of the past. It is a branch sect of the Ping Tian Sect. There are not many disciples in the sect. They are good at the art of taming beasts and raising spirits..."

Is it the Pingtian Sect again?
Chen Yang frowned.

"Moo..."

Just as I was pondering this, several roars suddenly came from the distance in the mountains and forests.

Chen Yang snapped out of his daze and looked in the direction of the sound. The sound came from the direction of Golden Eagle Ridge.

Mo Yuan immediately ran out of the cave, stood on the edge of the cliff and looked out for a while, then ran back after a short while.

“Master, a herd of wild elephants has surrounded Golden Eagle Ridge. We haven’t seen anyone show up. Could it be that old dog’s helpers?” Mo Yuan said.

Chen Yang's eyebrows twitched slightly.

Wild elephants?

“That golden eagle caught a baby elephant earlier; it might be here to get revenge,” Chen Yang said.

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan's gaze darkened. "Fortunately, the strongest ones are only a few Creation Realm cultivators, and no Dao True Realm cultivators have appeared. Should I take action to drive them away, lest they ruin your plans, Master?"

There are still traps left by Chen Yang on Golden Eagle Ridge. The appearance of this herd of wild elephants was somewhat unexpected. If they were allowed to break up the mountain and destroy the Wild Dog King's body, wouldn't the methods left by Chen Yang be destroyed?
"No need for now, let's wait and see."

Chen Yang considered it for a moment and then shook his head. It was not advisable for them to show themselves now. If the elephant herd really dared to come up the mountain, they could then use a swarm of bone-eating beetles to drive them away.

The bait on the mountain is for the people behind the Wild Dog King; it can't be wasted on this herd of wild elephants.

Mo Yuan leaned over next to Chen Yang and said no more.

……

-

At the foot of Golden Eagle Ridge.

Hundreds of adult wild elephants surrounded Golden Eagle Ridge.

The smallest of them are four or five meters tall, with enormous bodies that move like mountains. Their eyes are bloodshot and they stare intently at the mountaintop, as if they have some deep-seated hatred.

With a casual flick of its long trunk, the elephants uprooted the trees blocking their path. The enraged herd, its emotions running high, roared towards the mountaintop, their combined power forming a formidable military formation that swept across the land, a truly terrifying sight.

Even from a distance, you could feel the collective power of the elephant herd; nearby birds and beasts dared not approach.

"Moo..."

Several giant elephants, each seven or eight meters tall and already at the Creation Realm, stood at the front of the procession, roaring towards the mountain from time to time.

However, these wild elephants did not seem to intend to go up the mountain; they just circled around at the foot of the mountain, as if waiting for something to arrive.

"Boom, boom..."

The ground shook.

In the distant mountains and forests, tall trees fell one after another, and a huge figure appeared and disappeared among the trees.

Rumble…

A row of camphor trees fell, and then a terrifying giant elephant emerged from the camphor forest.

Standing over ten meters tall, it resembles a prehistoric mammoth, with needle-like gray fur all over its body, four hooves like pillars, and two enormous tusks. When it walks, it's like a mountain, and the ground shakes with every step.

"Moo..."

The giant elephant roared, and the sound waves, carrying a terrifying aura, violently impacted the surrounding area.

The elephants were trembling and quickly made way for them.

The existence of the Dao True Realm!

This is the one the elephant herd has been waiting for.

After all, the Golden Eagle King is a Dao True Realm being. If these wild elephants didn't have beings of the same level, why would they come here to die?

The giant elephant arrived at the foot of the mountain, released its primordial spirit power, and directly and violently probed into the mountain.

However, soon, a hint of doubt appeared in its bloodshot eyes, which were filled with anger.

It did not sense the presence of the Golden Eagle King.

Hasn't this guy come back yet?

With such a commotion, if the Golden Eagle King were on the mountain, he wouldn't have remained indifferent; he would have shown himself long ago.

Could it be that it knew it would seek revenge, so it hid elsewhere and dared not show itself?
"Moo!"

The giant elephant roared to the sky, as if to assert its majesty, and suddenly flicked its trunk.

"boom!"

A huge rock in front of them exploded instantly.

"Kids, get up the mountain and destroy this old bird's nest!" the giant elephant suddenly transmitted.

"Moo..."

Hundreds of wild elephants roared simultaneously, their imposing presence like a mountain, resembling a horde of irrational thugs about to charge up the mountain, looting, smashing, and burning. "Whoosh!"

However, at that moment, a burst of spiritual sword energy suddenly attacked from the front.

"Moo..."

The wild elephants leading the way let out a mournful cry, then blood splattered and they collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Who?"

The giant elephant roared, halting the advancing herd, and immediately looked in the direction from which the spiritual sword energy came.

A white figure could be seen appearing and disappearing in the woods ahead.

The white figure leaped and bounded, arriving at the front of the formation in just a few breaths.

Standing on a large rock, fifty or sixty meters away, I looked down at the leading giant elephant.

arctic fox!

Its body was pure white, without a single stray hair. It was as big as a tiger, with a slender figure and a pair of eyes that shone with a pale blue light. Its fluffy snow tail swayed behind it, making it incredibly beautiful.

A single glance was enough to make the Wild Elephant King catch his breath, and his eyes, which had been filled with hatred, instantly became much clearer.

"King Elephant, how have you been?"

The white fox bared its fangs slightly, its voice sounding very young and indifferent.

"Brother Fox, you...you're back?"

The giant elephant held its breath for a long time before finally letting out a moo, its telepathic communication somewhat slurred.

Clearly, it was filled with apprehension towards the white fox before it.

"Humph."

The white fox looked down at the giant elephant with arrogance, speaking as if lecturing its grandson, "You really have a lot of nerve, daring to come to Fox Fairy Valley and make a scene. Do you not take me seriously?"

"Brother Fox."

Upon hearing this, the giant elephant's imposing aura darkened, but it still stubbornly looked up at the white fox. "What happened today is not my fault. It was that old bird that came to my territory to hunt early in the morning and snatched my young grandson. It's truly hateful. I just wanted to get an explanation from it..."

"Ah."

The white fox chuckled lightly, "What explanation do you want? Do you perhaps want Brother Eagle to pay for your young grandson's life?"

"you……"

The giant elephant was a little angry when it heard this. It was clearly in the right, but the white fox seemed to be unable to distinguish right from wrong. Judging from its posture, it was obviously going to take sides.

The white fox said, "You have so many descendants, while I, Brother Eagle, am just a lone wolf. What's wrong with eating one or two of your offspring? You wouldn't be so stingy, would you?"

"Brother Fox, aren't you going too far by talking like that?" The giant elephant's temper flared up, and its eyes were fixed on the white fox in front of it.

The white fox, however, looked completely unconcerned, clearly not taking the giant elephant seriously. "What? It's been over a decade, and the Elephant King has grown quite a bit? Daring to bare his teeth in front of me now? Does he want to fight me?"

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is vividly demonstrated at this moment.

The giant elephant was furious; its anger was so intense it seemed to reach the very top of its head.

However, it still retains its rationality.

Its cultivation level was still a step away from the mid-stage of the Dao True Realm, while the white fox in front of it had already reached the mid-stage of the Dao True Realm more than ten years ago, and was only a step away from the late stage of the Dao True Realm.

Now, more than ten years have passed, and this white fox may have already taken that step and become a late-stage Dao Realm being.

Back when the white fox was still around, the giant elephant had been bullied by it quite a bit, and there was still some lingering trauma in its heart.

Now, it really wouldn't dare to fight this white fox. Once they started fighting, even if it could escape, all its offspring and descendants would probably perish here.

This fox in front of me is no good.

"I was rash today. Take care, Brother Fox. We'll meet again someday."

Even giant elephants know when to advance and retreat.

If the white fox hadn't appeared today, it would definitely have made the golden eagle pay the price. But now, the white fox's appearance has disrupted its plans, and it has no choice but to retreat temporarily.

At that moment, the giant elephant let out a cry and signaled the herd to leave.

"Stop! Did I say you could leave?" The white fox glared at the giant elephant, its voice chillingly cold.

"Brother Fox, what else do you intend to do?"

The giant elephant stopped in its tracks. The clay bodhisattva still had some temper. After all, he was the ancestor of his race and a Dao True Realm being. How could he not have any dignity?
The white fox stared coldly at it. "What just happened here? Did you kill Brother Dog?"

Although it had just arrived and hadn't yet gone up the mountain, its spiritual power had already detected the corpse of the Wild Dog King on the mountain.

"what?"

The giant elephant paused for a moment, clearly somewhat taken aback.

"What are you pretending for? King Elephant, if you don't give me a straight answer today, I'll make sure you don't get away with this." The white fox's voice remained icy.

The giant elephant's eyes narrowed slightly. "This is really going too far. I've only just arrived here, and I'm only here to ask the old bird for an explanation. I've never even seen that old dog. What does its life or death have to do with me?"

The white fox tilted its head and looked at it, as if trying to see something strange in the giant elephant's eyes.

"You say it's unrelated? Who told you to just happen to be here? Tell me, what happened here before?" The white fox said domineeringly.

The giant elephant was furious. "If you want to fight, I'll gladly oblige. Why beat around the bush like this..."

Its imposing aura was now unbearable, and it was preparing to fight the white fox.

The white fox's eyes turned cold as it stared at the giant elephant for a moment before saying, "Stay here and wait. No one is allowed to leave until I give the order."

Its voice was exceptionally loud, quickly reaching the ears of every wild elephant present, delivered in a commanding tone, extremely domineering.

The elephant herd stirred, their eyes bloodshot with indignation, as if they all wanted to rush forward and fight to the death.

"Moo..."

The king of wild elephants roared, forcefully quelling the commotion of the herd.

"Noisy!"

The white fox cursed, then turned around with an air of nonchalance and swaggered up the mountain.

The snow-white figure disappeared into the depths of the mountains and forests in a few leaps.

The King of Wild Elephants stood still and did not leave.

Firstly, it was truly wary of the white fox's strength.

Secondly, it also wanted to see what exactly was happening on Golden Eagle Ridge.

Just now, it also used its mental power to detect a corpse on the mountain, which seemed to really be that old dog.

Is the old dog dead?

This is also a good thing for it.

You should know that it and those two beasts from Golden Eagle Ridge and Dog Head Mountain are old enemies, and it dreams of them dying.

However, the old dog died at the worst possible time, and this white fox just happened to come back. I hope it doesn't try to pin this on me.

……

Meanwhile, the white fox leaped gracefully and swiftly through the forest, leaving almost a blur in its wake. In no time, it arrived at the foot of the cliff at the mountaintop.

His mental energy instantly spread out.

There were signs of a battle nearby, but the ground damage was not severe. It was certain that the person who attacked was extremely powerful and killed the Wild Dog King in no time.

The white fox sniffed gently, trying to discern any useful scents in the air.

It has the aura of a golden eagle.

There was also the scent of humans, and in addition, he also smelled the scent of another spirit beast.

Although no golden eagle was seen, there was a large amount of blood at the scene, so it may have escaped somewhere.

This person is exceptionally strong; he might be at least at the mid-stage of the Dao Realm.

The white fox's eyes narrowed slightly, and it had already formed a rough assessment in its mind.

"Old dog!"

Although she knew the old dog was dead and all that remained was a corpse, the white fox still called out and immediately ran over.

Regardless, it and this wild dog king were once partners and had an extraordinary bond.

The death of the Wild Dog King could be said to have enraged it greatly.

At this point, the Wild Dog King's body was already stiff, blood had seeped all over the ground, and he lay on the ground as if asleep. The stench of blood at the scene was so strong that it was nauseating.

The white fox's emotions fluctuate greatly.

Anger and sorrow filled its heart at this moment.

"Who, who did this?"

It trembled as it stretched out its paw and nudged the Wild Dog King's corpse, trying to check its injuries in order to glean more useful information from it.

However, at that moment, the white fox suddenly sensed an immense danger.

"not good!"

Almost out of bodily instinct, the protective true energy was suddenly released.

"boom!"

Huge explosion.

The sound was deafening, the ground trembled, and rocks collapsed. The terrifying noise spread throughout the surrounding mountains and forests almost instantly.

……

Down the mountain, the elephant herd was startled by the sudden explosion.

Looking up, a small mushroom cloud rose from the direction of the mountaintop.

The elephants were stunned. Their eyes, which had been filled with indignation, were now filled with confusion and fear. They had no idea what had happened.

"Moo!"

The wild elephant king, however, was excited.

The situation on the mountain was already under its mental surveillance. It raised its nose, let out an excited roar, and without saying a word, it took off running towards the top of the mountain.
