King of Ten Thousand Years

Chapter 312: Chapter 310: Moon Chasing Wolf Pack

In a mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles.

Luo Tian moved forward slowly. Barely an incense stick’s worth of time after parting with the Flying Cloud Bird, he had already encountered five Demon Beasts, one of which was at the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm.

’This mountain range is no simple place!’

This was perfect. Only evenly matched opponents could truly serve to sharpen his skills.

For Luo Tian to be interested in a fight, his opponent had to be at least at the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm or higher.

After walking for a while longer.

Luo Tian ran into several more Demon Beasts, but their Cultivation levels were all below the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm.

Instead, the sound of many footsteps suddenly came from behind him. A moment later, a six-person team rapidly approached and met Luo Tian.

"Who’s there?"

A deep, heavy voice called out from the team.

A burly man, over two meters tall, appeared in Luo Tian’s line of sight with five others.

"I’m just a Scattered Stream Martial Artist, exploring and training here."

Luo Tian responded calmly.

The burly man and his group carefully sized up Luo Tian with scrutinizing gazes.

From within the team, a young woman in a green dress stared at Luo Tian in surprise and said, "You came to the Manglong Mountain Range to train all by yourself?"

Her skin was fair and dewy, her eyes bright and clear, and her long black hair was tied in a ponytail that fell to her waist.

"Manglong Mountain Range?"

Luo Tian committed the name to memory.

"You’re not from the Central Domain?"

the burly man asked.

The Manglong Mountain Range was famous throughout the Central Domain. Nearly everyone in the dozens of surrounding countries knew of it.

It was exceptionally dangerous but also hid a wealth of precious resources, attracting many Martial Artists to come and throw their lives away.

"I am from the Eastern Domain."

Luo Tian replied truthfully, a slight smile on his face. "I wonder if any of you have a map? I’m willing to buy one."

The Central Domain was the vastest of the Five Great Domains, and Luo Tian was completely unfamiliar with the terrain. He worried he might wander into some dangerous forbidden area, so getting a map would be for the best.

"We only have a map of the nearby area, not the entire Central Domain. But we’re about to return to our family. You can come with us, and I’ll have my father sell you one when we get back."

the woman in green replied.

"Miss Qing’Er!"

The burly man’s expression darkened as he barked her name. He then turned to Luo Tian and said, "We don’t have a map. You can leave the Manglong Mountain Range and look for a nearby Martial City. You should be able to buy a map there."

"Never mind, then."

Seeing the burly man’s wariness, Luo Tian couldn’t be bothered to say more.

Although the Central Domain was prosperous and had the most Martial Cities, trying to find one without any geographical information would be an unknown waste of time.

"Farewell!"

The burly man led his team away.

But they had only taken a few steps when the ground suddenly began to tremble, and an overwhelming aura of Demon Evil surged toward them.

"Not good, the Moon Chasing Wolf Pack has caught up to us!"

The burly man’s expression changed drastically, and the group quickly retreated.

’A wolf pack?’

Luo Tian glanced behind him.

’I haven’t found any Demon Beasts at the Peak of the Ninth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, so sparring with a pack of beasts wouldn’t be so bad.’

"Why aren’t you leaving? The wolf pack is coming, you’ll be killed!"

The woman in green, Qing’Er, shouted to Luo Tian.

"Miss Qing’Er, let’s go!"

The burly man pulled the woman in green along, breaking into a sprint.

But the wolf pack arrived in an instant, surrounding them from both sides.

AWOO!

In an instant, the six-person team was surrounded by a pack of over thirty silvery-white Moon Chasing Wolves.

Moon Chasing Wolves were extremely vicious and known for their speed. Few prey ever escaped their grasp.

Right now, the Cultivation of most of these Moon Chasing Wolves was around the Seventh Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm.

The Cultivation and strength of the six-person team were slightly higher, but they were crushed by the wolves’ numbers.

"Protect the young miss!"

The burly man drew a Great Sword, and the five of them formed a circle, protecting Qing’Er in the center.

He shot a cold glance at Luo Tian. If they hadn’t wasted time talking to him, they might not have been caught by the Moon Chasing Wolf Pack.

The wolf pack suddenly attacked. Four or five Moon Chasing Wolves transformed into silvery-white arcs as they sped forward.

SHIING!

The Moon Chasing Wolves swung their sharp claws, sending several incomparably sharp Silver Light Traces slashing toward them.

"Get back!"

The burly man roared, his Great Sword cleaving out a dark yellow Sword Qi Light Wave that shattered several Silver Light Traces and sent one Moon Chasing Wolf flying.

His Cultivation had reached the Peak of the Eighth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm, making him the strongest in the team.

BOOM! BANG!

The team clashed with the Moon Chasing Wolf Pack. Explosions rang out continuously, felling all the surrounding trees and leaving the ground pockmarked with craters.

Four Moon Chasing Wolves were severely wounded and knocked away, crying out in pain on the ground.

Several members of the team were also injured.

The Moon Chasing Wolf Pack grew more cautious, completely encircling the six-person team. Their silver vertical pupils glinted with a cold light as they waited for an opportunity.

Luo Tian, on the other hand, stood in place without moving a single step. The wolf pack didn’t attack him, as if they had completely ignored him.

"What treasure did you steal from the Moon Chasing Wolves?"

Luo Tian asked.

The Moon Chasing Wolf Pack completely ignored Luo Tian and surrounded the burly man’s group. Their hostility was so obvious that this was the only possibility.

"My father is gravely ill! I have to bring the Silver Moon Grass back!"

Qing’Er replied, her face full of anxiety.

The expressions of the other team members immediately sank. They hadn’t expected Qing’Er to reveal all that.

If Luo Tian became greedy and went after the Silver Moon Grass, it would be even harder for them to break out of the encirclement.

’Silver Moon Grass!’ Luo Tian’s expression remained unchanged.

It was an extremely rare treasure of heaven and earth, with a Tier close to that of Three-star Treasures.

’I didn’t expect the territory of this Moon Chasing Wolf Pack to hold such a treasure.’

"We can make a deal,"

Luo Tian said to Qing’Er and the others.

"Don’t even think about getting your hands on the Silver Moon Grass!"

the burly man immediately shouted.

To him, the fact that Luo Tian had proposed a deal the moment he heard about the Silver Moon Grass was a clear sign he was trying to take advantage of their predicament.

Qing’Er’s expression also changed slightly, and she somewhat regretted mentioning the Silver Moon Grass.

"No. You give me the map, and I’ll help you break out."

Luo Tian shook his head.

"The map?"

The burly man and the others were stunned, their expressions strange.

Silver Moon Grass was extremely rare. It was a primary ingredient for several kinds of Healing Holy Medicine, valued at four to five thousand Spiritual Essence Coins or more, and was often priceless due to its scarcity.

A map of the Central Domain could be bought in any Martial City and wouldn’t cost more than a thousand Spiritual Essence Coins at most.

Was Luo Tian’s target for this "robbery" really just a map of the Central Domain?

Besides, Luo Tian was very young, so his Cultivation couldn’t be that high. Even if he helped them, it was unlikely he could fend off the Moon Chasing Wolf Pack.

ROAR!

The Moon Chasing Wolves were watching the burly man’s group intently. Seeing them get distracted, they immediately launched an attack.

In that instant, more than ten Moon Chasing Wolves attacked, and a swath of Silver Light Traces enveloped the six of them.

CLANG! CLANG! BOOM!

The six of them went all out, attacking frantically with flashing blades, fist shadows, and Sword Qi.

But the Moon Chasing Wolves were too numerous and held the advantage, shattering their attacks.

"Argh!"

A Silver Light Trace sliced through a short-haired man’s arm, which fell directly to the ground.

The expressions of the six team members turned incredibly grim, beads of sweat forming on their foreheads.

"So? Have you decided?"

Luo Tian called out.

"Damn it, he must be here to harm us! He deliberately talked to us before to let the Moon Chasing Wolves catch up, and just now he distracted us again!"

the man with the severed arm roared through clenched teeth, enduring the intense pain.

Luo Tian was speechless. ’This guy’s logic is all over the place.’

"We’ve decided! We agree!"

Qing’Er said hastily.

"Miss Qing’Er, how can you trust this person!"

"That’s right! He looks about the same age as you, how strong can he be? There’s no way he can help us break through!"

The others remained wary of Luo Tian, lecturing Qing’Er.

ROAR!

Just then, the leader of the Moon Chasing Wolf Pack let out a howl.

Its Cultivation had reached the Peak of the Eighth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm. It was a full size larger than the other wolves, and its fur shimmered with a faint silver luster.

Following its roar, all the surrounding wolves howled in unison and then attacked as one!

From all directions, more than twenty silver wolf-like shadows pounced.

"Full defense!"

the burly man shouted through clenched teeth. Everyone released their Protective True Qi to block the attacks from the surrounding Moon Chasing Wolves.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

A crisscrossing web of Silver Light Traces tore toward them, descending on the six-person team like a torrential downpour. In that instant, every one of them was injured.

Despair filled the faces of the six as they felt the aura of death.

But just then.

AWOO! AWOO!

The pained cries of two Moon Chasing Wolves rang out. The burly man and his team saw two wolves fly over their heads, crash dozens of meters away, and stop breathing.

"What was that?"

The man with the severed arm was stunned.

Just then, another Moon Chasing Wolf flew over their heads.

The six-person team immediately looked ahead.

They saw Luo Tian walking forward step by step. He suddenly struck out, grabbed a Moon Chasing Wolf, and tossed it aside casually. It flew dozens of meters and was thrown to its death!

ROAR!

The leading Moon Chasing Wolf immediately fixed its gaze on Luo Tian and let out a low, cold snarl.

Luo Tian possessed the Spirit Communication Secret Skill and could understand the words of Demon Beasts. The leader was telling him to get lost.

"You’re the ones who should get lost!"

Luo Tian responded coldly.

A cold light shot from the Moon Chasing Wolf Leader’s eyes, and it immediately led seven or eight other wolves to pounce on Luo Tian.

"Be careful!"

Qing’Er shouted.

The Moon Chasing Wolf Leader was at the Peak of the Eighth Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm; even the strongest in their team, the burly man, had found it to be a handful.

But Luo Tian’s expression didn’t waver in the slightest as he suddenly struck out with both hands.

POW! POW! POW!

No one could see Luo Tian’s movements clearly. They only heard a series of impacts as one Moon Chasing Wolf after another was sent flying.

In the blink of an eye, only the Moon Chasing Wolf Leader was left.

Its face was a picture of shock. Sensing a threat, it immediately retreated.

Luo Tian instantly threw a punch. The air vibrated, and a heavy, dark yellow fist shadow shot out with a whistle.

The Moon Chasing Wolf Leader sensed the immense danger from this punch and pushed its speed to the limit, its fur flashing with a bright light!

But its struggles were utterly useless.

POW!

The punch landed on the leader’s abdomen. It flew more than ten meters, snapping several large trees, its body bathed in blood.

It scrambled to its feet with a pained cry, and all the Moon Chasing Wolves immediately retreated.

In an instant, the burly man and his group were out of danger.

From start to finish, they had done nothing. Luo Tian alone had instantly killed nearly ten Moon Chasing Wolves and scared the leader into fleeing for its life.

"Thank you for saving our lives!"

The burly man cupped his fist and bowed.

The others looked on with extremely awkward expressions, their faces filled with fear.

Just moments ago, they had all suspected Luo Tian and had even refused his help.

’With the strength Luo Tian just displayed, wiping out our entire team would not have been a problem.’

"There’s nothing to thank me for. It was just a transaction. Now, give me the map."

Luo Tian said, his expression calm.

...

Behind the woods.

Three figures dressed in black were hidden in the darkness.

"Hmm? Why has the Moon Chasing Wolf Pack retreated? Is the Wang Family group all dead?"

one of the women said.

"Something’s not right!"

"Judging by the state of the Moon Chasing Wolves, they clearly encountered a powerful enemy and are fleeing for their lives. Even the Moon Chasing Wolf Leader is heavily injured!"

another man with green eyebrows said in a low voice.

"With the Wang Family team’s strength, it’s impossible for them to have repelled the Moon Chasing Wolf Pack! Could the Wang Family have hired some expert?"

The woman’s face was filled with suspicion.

"Since the wolf pack couldn’t kill them, we’ll just have to do it ourselves. I’d like to see who has the gall to ruin this young master’s plans!"

The green-browed man’s face turned yin cold.
