Starting as a Grandmaster, all of my cultivation techniques are at max level.

The Wolf Lord had barely finished speaking when he shoved the still-dazed young disciple beside him, growling urgently, "Xiao'er! Stop daydreaming! Quick, leave now! South, don't look back!"

The young man beside him was startled by his master's unprecedented panic, and the kitchen knife in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. "Master, what's going on...?"

"No time to explain! Let's go!" The Wolf Lord practically roared, simultaneously concealing all his aura, not daring to let it leak out in the slightest.

However, just as the young man was packing his bags without knowing why, the Wolf Lord felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by an ancient ferocious beast!

"It's over, we've been discovered!" The Wolf Lord thought in horror.

Before he could even look up to confirm, his muscular arm grabbed the young man's belt from behind and, with a gasp, threw him away!

"Xiao'er, run! Get as far away as possible! Don't look back!!!"

While the young man was still in a daze, he was thrown several miles away.

Just as he fell into the icy stream and was about to be swept away by the raging current, he saw it with his own eyes.

A sharp, silver sword light descended from the sky!

The sword light pierced through the wolf lord's right leg, pinning him firmly to the blue stone beside him!

Blood splattered instantly, staining the riverbank red.

"Master!!!" The young man roared, his eyes wide with fury, but his voice was instantly swallowed by the surging waves, and his figure disappeared.

……

Beside the bluestone.

"Ugh!" The wolf lord groaned, the intense pain causing the veins on his forehead to bulge.

He looked down at his injured right leg and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He gritted his teeth and stood up, leaning against the bluestone beside him.

Just then, four powerful forces descended like four towering mountains!

He struggled to lift his head.

Above him, four figures hovered silently, looking down at him like ants.

The Wolf Lord took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his inner fear, and asked in a low voice, "Who...who are you?"

Among the four figures, the Third Elder, whose eyes were slightly sinister, walked down from the void and stopped in front of the Wolf Lord.

He scrutinized the wolf lord with great interest, a chilling smile spreading across his face.

"Tsk, your reaction wasn't slow, you even knew to throw the little guy away." The Third Elder said casually, "I just scanned this area with my divine sense, and your aura is the strongest within hundreds of miles. I suppose you're the strongest one around here... right?"

The Wolf Lord felt a chill in his heart, knowing that the other party had come with ill intentions: "What exactly do you want? If it's revenge, I ask myself, I have never met any of you before, and we should not have any enmity!"

"Seeking revenge?" The Third Elder chuckled and shook his head. "Don't worry, it's simple. I'll only ask one question. Answer honestly, and I'll spare your life."

"Tell me, where exactly is that temple decree?"

"What temple decree?"

When Wolf Lord heard the question asked, he was completely stunned, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"A...a temple decree?" The Wolf Lord repeated subconsciously, his eyes filled with confusion. "Your Excellency...what is this? I...have never heard of it before."

The Third Elder's smile vanished instantly, his eyes darkening. "You don't know? As the strongest in this region, you don't even know about the 'Temple Token'?"

The Wolf Lord sensed the sudden killing intent emanating from the other party, his scalp tingling. He quickly said, "Wait, I truly don't know! I absolutely did not mean to deceive you..."

"Useless!" The Third Elder interrupted him impatiently, the last trace of "amiability" in his eyes vanishing, leaving only icy killing intent. "You don't even know the Temple Order, what use are you? You're just wasting my time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually raised his right hand, pointed his fingers like a sword, and waved it lightly in the direction of the Wolf Lord.

"Whoosh!"

A sword aura appeared out of thin air and swept across without any obstruction!

The wolf king felt a chill on his waist and his gaze involuntarily drifted to his abdomen.

He saw his lower body slowly moving away, saw the blood gushing out like a spring, and saw the Third Elder's departing figure.

"I... I'm dying?" The Wolf Lord's consciousness rapidly blurred until it vanished completely.

The Third Elder sneered, not even turning back to look at the Wolf Lord who had been cut in half at the waist. He then flew up and returned to the side of the other elders of the Heavenly Sword Profound Sect.

"What bad luck! I thought I could get some information about the Temple Order from this guy. But he's just an ignorant native. What a waste of time." The Third Elder said irritably as he looked at the questioning gazes from Ouyang Shan and the other elders.

Elder Ouyang Shan and the others frowned, but they weren't surprised by the result. After all, they hadn't expected to find the Temple Token so easily in the first place.

"Forget it! Let's split up and search for the Temple Token separately. That way, we can maximize our efficiency. Once we have any news about the Temple Token, we'll notify the others immediately."

"good!"

"That's exactly right!"

After a brief discussion, the four experts from the Heavenly Sword Profound Sect transformed into four sword lights and instantly disappeared into the horizon in the east, south, west, and north directions.

……

And right after they left.

The wolf lord's body, severed in two, lay in a pool of blood, its life almost extinguished.

But his eyelids suddenly twitched, and just as his consciousness was about to completely fade away, the wolf fang pendant he wore around his neck suddenly emitted a faint light.

Several extremely thin rays of light flew out from the wolf fang pendant and wrapped around the wolf master's broken waist.

An unbelievable scene unfolded.

Pulled by those rays of light, the other half of his body slowly crawled towards his upper body, until the two halves of his body stuck together.

But with each repair, the light on the wolf tooth pendant dimmed, and several new cracks appeared on its original surface.

Much later.

Those few rays of light finally dissipated completely.

The wolf fang pendant hanging around the wolf master's neck had also completely dimmed, its surface covered with spiderweb-like cracks, as if it would turn to powder at the slightest touch.

The wolf lord, who was originally certain of death, slowly opened his eyes. He first looked blankly at the sky, then suddenly sat up and began to breathe heavily.

"Hahaha..." He couldn't help but start laughing, and his laughter grew louder and louder, but at this moment, there was a hint of bitterness in his smile. "Thank goodness for this sacred object... it saved me once again. I was just a hair's breadth away from dying!"

After a long while, the Wolf Lord looked up in the direction where the four people had disappeared. Although there was no one there, his body still trembled involuntarily.

"Those four monsters... could they really be from another continent? If that's the case, doesn't that mean the Valley of Immortality connecting the Eastern Xuan Continent and the Tianqi Continent can now be safely traversed?" A thought suddenly flashed through the Wolf Lord's mind, and he quickly stood up, preparing to head towards the Valley of Immortality.

This place is not far from the Valley of Immortality, so it's possible that his guess is correct.

From that day forward, the number of people crossing the Valley of Immortality to reach the Eastern Xuan Continent will only increase.
