Starting with a useless yellow dog, he swept through the immortal realm.

Despite feeling nauseous at the bloody scene before him, Song Xun quickly straightened his clothes.

A battle for the Great Dao? Demonic creatures? Spirit beast eggs?

This world is not an ordinary ancient world at all; it is a world of strange and chaotic forces, where immortals can be cultivated and demons and monsters exist.

Song Xun, leaning on the suitcase, walked out with weak legs. A pile of things on the table caught his attention.

These things must be extraordinary. Song Xun walked to the table.

The yellowed ancient book that Hu San had placed on the table transformed into a stream of light the moment it touched his fingertips, and went straight into Song Xun's brow.

[Bound to "The Immortal Path of Beasts," host: Song Xun.]

[A Primordial Dao Embryo Beast Spirit Egg exists nearby. Once the intimacy level is reached, it can guide you to form a contract.]

Song Xun was taken aback, then suppressed the overwhelming joy in his heart.

It's here! My cheat code has finally arrived!

Bang! A loud collision sound came from outside. Judging from the sound, it was not close, but Song Xun roughly estimated that the tiger demon and the old man he mentioned had already started fighting.

Don't stay here for long!

The spirit beast egg on the table was shimmering with faint golden patterns. Was this the treasure that the tiger demon had risked his life to snatch?

Song Xun then looked at the basket left by Hu San, stuffed all the items on the table into it, slung the basket over his shoulder, and walked out.

Stepping outside, Song Xun looked around. It was a large courtyard with many houses inside, but he didn't know where the exit was.

Hearing the sounds of fierce fighting that could be heard intermittently in the distance, Song Xun had no choice but to run away from the direction of the sound.

Just as he ran to another room, a voice suddenly came from inside and stopped him.

"Are you the young man who lives here? I can smell your scent, can you come and save me?"

Song Xun paused for a moment, then prepared to continue running. What a joke! At this critical moment, Song Xun didn't want to lose his life because of his recklessness.

The people inside seemed to realize that Song Xun didn't want to stay, and hurriedly spoke again.

"I was captured by them. I can help you escape from Hu San's clutches. I smell Hu San fighting a cultivator. Now is the best opportunity. You can't escape alone."

Upon hearing the words from inside the house, Song Xun stopped in his tracks.

"Tiger Three has a very keen nose; he must have remembered your scent. If he's not dead, he'll come after you. I have a place to help you hide your scent!"

Song Xun doesn't even know where the gate to this courtyard is, let alone how to escape the city. The owner of this voice is clearly very familiar with this place.

"How can I trust you?" Song Xun asked back through the door.

"I, Huang Bulang, have made a solemn oath based on my lineage of cultivation. Every word I have spoken is true. After Brother Song saved me, I will do everything in my power to protect you and repay your kindness. If I break this oath, I am willing to relinquish all my cultivation and have my soul scattered!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Song Xun felt a connection with the person inside the room. As a seasoned online novel enthusiast, he naturally understood that this was because he had made a vow to uphold the Great Dao.

Without further hesitation, Song Xun opened the door and entered the house, only to find that no one was inside after scanning the room.

Strangely, just as Song Xun was wondering, he looked down and saw a large yellow dog staring at him from the wall. The dog was covered in wounds and its four legs were dangling, as if they had been broken.

"Aren't you human?"

"Young man, if I were a human, I would have been eaten by Tiger Three long ago. You take me away first, I can't leave, this bastard Tiger has broken my legs."

Song Xun hesitated for a moment, then, remembering that it had made a vow to the Great Dao, he went over, picked up the yellow dog, and ran out of the house.

It feels heavy in your hand; the dog looks small, but it's quite heavy.

How did you know my surname is Song?

As he ran, Song Xun asked the yellow dog a question. The yellow dog seemed to have not seen sunlight for a long time, and had just recovered when it heard Song Xun's words.

"Brother Song, are you out of your mind? Isn't this the Song residence in Zuoping County? No! You've gone to the wrong place, the main gate is over there!"

Following the yellow dog's directions, Song Xun finally left the courtyard safely. Turning around, he saw that it really was the Song residence. He immediately wanted to ask the yellow dog for more information.

"Run quickly, they're still fighting over there."

Song Xun looked in the direction the yellow dog was looking, and sure enough, in the sky not far away, the tiger demon was covered in blood, and the old Taoist priest who was fighting him was also in bad shape. His plain white Taoist robe was also stained red with blood, and it was unknown whose blood it was.

Song Xun noticed the surrounding situation. There were not many civilians on the street, indicating that the residents had been evacuated. Only at the place where the man and the tiger were fighting, a large group of soldiers were shooting arrows from the ground to support the old Taoist priest.

"Grandpa, hold on!" Song Xun immediately prepared to escape while the tiger demon was not paying attention to the situation.

"That way, that's where you leave the city!"

Huang Bulang muttered incantations, and a faint yellow light enveloped him and Song Xun, instantly concealing their presence. They fled all the way and finally escaped Zuoping County.

"Where to next?"

"Go to the river north of the city; my cave dwelling is there!"

Song Xun then traveled to the Xiaoqing River in the north of the city. Not far from the riverbank was a small hill. As they arrived, the yellow dog blew a breath toward the hill, and sure enough, a hole appeared in the ground.

A cave? Isn't this just a dog hole?! Song Xun, carrying the yellow dog, decisively went inside.

"This cave is protected by a restriction. Even if someone is three or four realms higher than me, they will hardly be able to detect me passing through here. Let's rest for a while."

Hearing Huang Gou's words, Song Xun felt relieved. He had been exhausted from the long journey, but he had been on edge the whole time, which was what kept him going.

"Brother Dog, who exactly is that tiger demon? Why were you kidnapped? Do you know who I am?"

Having escaped death together, and with the yellow dog having sworn an oath to the Great Dao, Song Xun lowered his guard, placed the yellow dog on a cushion beside him, and asked.

The yellow dog looked puzzled as it listened to Song Xun's series of questions.

"You're asking so many questions, have you lost your memory? That's possible, after all, that woman's love potion is top-notch, it's normal that an ordinary person like you can't handle it."

"Drowning powder?"

"That tiger demon and that female cultivator must be from some demonic sect, trying to steal a spirit beast egg from the Beast Taming Sect. They lay in wait in Zuoping County for a day, choosing the Song residence as their resting place. Besides you, the rest of your family should..."

The yellow dog sized up Song Xun: "As for why she kept you here, I guess that female cultivator took a fancy to your appearance and hid you away. Today, she used a bewitching powder on you when Hu San went out, but before she could get her hands on you, that dead tiger came back."

"Brother Dog, how do you know all this so clearly?"

"Nonsense, I was in the next room, how could I not know? What a pity about my leg! Oh! How did you get this spirit beast egg?"

As Huang Gou spoke, he looked at the spirit beast egg that Song Xun took out of his basket.

"Stolen from Hu San? You'd better pray that Hu San gets killed by that old man."

"It's truly a case of heaven being jealous of talent. I, Dog Lord, have been diligently cultivating until I reached my current level, only to be caught by that tiger demon couple while out hunting in the wild. And because they saw I had cultivation, they wanted to keep me to eat when I broke through to a higher realm..."

The yellow dog was complaining, while Song Xun was carefully observing the spirit beast egg. Suddenly, the "Beast Dao Immortal Record" in his mind opened on its own, and then a stream of spiritual power emerged from Song Xun's forehead, enveloping the spirit beast egg.

The light was dazzling, and the yellow dog exclaimed in surprise.

"How did you manage to form a contract with it! It seems like all the spirit beast eggs from the Beast Taming Sect have tracking restrictions!"
