The cultivation techniques that used to require deep contemplation, Shen Yuan now assimilated with just slight contemplation, even during the cultivation of the Breath Concealing Technique, Shen Yuan experienced a rare burst of enlightenment.

Despite the high difficulty of the cultivation of Breath Concealing Technique, it’s not a profound spell. This enlightenment allowed Shen Yuan to cultivate the Breath Concealing Technique to an incredibly deep level.

As long as he doesn’t use Mana, even the ordinary Great Cultivator of Transforming God may not be able to see through Shen Yuan’s cultivation base.

After proceeding with Bai Xue, Shen Yuan finally passed through the woods, at this point, the roads built by humans completely disappeared. A series of towering mountains extended and intertwined before Shen Yuan’s eyes.

Although Yunfu Mountain has this name, it should generally be referred to as Yunfu Mountain Range, a territory comprised of numerous mountains and ranges.

Addressing it as Yunfu Mountain is just due to the largest mountain range among them being called Yunfu Mountain, hence having the name.

Upon seeing the intricate mountain ranges, Shen Yuan has truly stepped into Yunfu Mountain Territory. The density of Spirit Energy in the surroundings noticeably increases.

Descending from mid-air, Shen Yuan chose not to fly again.

Yunfu Mountain is now territory of the monster tribe. Not only Yun Province but several nearby provinces of the monster tribe have gathered here.

If he, as a human, were to recklessly fly within Yunfu Mountain Territory, it would easy to draw the attention of the monster tribe.

Shen Yuan didn’t fear the monster tribe, but it wasn’t necessary to invite trouble either.

Walking along the rugged mountains with Bai Xue, Shen Yuan was somewhat surprised to notice there were some human made trails on the ground as well.

These trails extended in different directions, indicating that in this Yunfu Mountain Range, there were not only human-settled villages but also many of them.

Shen Yuan was surprised initially, but then quickly made sense of it.

In the era of Spirit Energy depletion, there were no monsters deep within these mountains. Besides some beasts, Yunfu Mountain had no other danger, so it wasn’t strange for humans to live here.

After observing the fresh footprints on the ground as if made within the last couple of days, Shen Yuan curiously asked:

“This is a gathering place for the monster tribe in Yunfu Mountain, and there are many fierce ones among them. How come these people haven’t moved out and continue to live here?”

A sense of curiosity arose in Shen Yuan.

The market in Yunfu Mountain was not built deep within the mountain. Shen Yuan recognized the direction and continued moving forward.

Right at that moment, it seemed like Bai Xue, seated on Shen Yuan’s shoulder, noticed something. She suddenly let out a quiet exclamation and pointed ahead with her paw.

“Mi~ Mi~!”

Bai Xue’s voice was urgent, as if urging Shen Yuan to rush over.

Shen Yuan also raised an eyebrow; it was his first time seeing Bai Xue in such a hurry. Without hesitation, he activated his Mana and flew forward with the wind at his feet.

…

Inside an old temple, a few adult men dressed as hunters looked nervously outside, two of them holding crude muskets, the others gripping weapons such as tridents and long knives.

In the open space behind them, a middle-aged man was lying on the ground bathed in blood and groaning in pain. A youth who seemed to be about seventeen, was calmly bandaging his wounds.

Outside the temple, a gigantic bear, more than two meters tall, was looking inside with greedy eyes.

“Damn it, how did this bear demon suddenly attack us?”

“Doesn’t it fear the wrath of Lord Mountain God?”

“We have offered sufficient tributes to Lord Mountain God, why are beast attacks still happening?”

“Lord Mountain God, please save us!”

They were powerless against the gigantic bear demon, in their hands, even crude muskets failed to pierce through its hide.

Facing the bear demon that could attack at any moment, the hunters were completely panic-stricken.

In the crowd, a well-built middle-aged man, surrounded by hunters, stood up. Gripping the steel knife tightly, he spoke solemnly to the bear demon:

“We, the Hea Family Village, have been offering to the Black Wind Mountain God from generation to generation, receiving the god’s blessing. Why are you disregarding the will of the Mountain God and wantonly attacking us?

“Aren’t you afraid of the wrath of the Mountain God?”

The bear demon displayed a mocking smile, then its massive body, like a war chariot, charged toward the decrepit temple.

The walls were easily demolished, the old wooden doors instantly shattered, and the already crumbling temple collapsed with a loud crash under the weight of the robust demon.

Amidst the rising dust, a hunter at the forefront didn’t even have time to cry out before he was ripped apart like a rag by the bear demon.

“Fire quickly!”

“Run! Go tell the Lord Mountain God!”

“I don’t want to die!”

Wails from the dying, struggles for survival, furious roars echoed through the woods.

At that moment, a crisp hum of a sword chimed from the forest. The rampaging bear demon could barely turn its body before a blade sharp as no other punctured its head with ease.

Its massive body wavered before collapsing with a loud thud, the weight causing a slight tremor in the ground.

Seeing this, the hunters, panicked as they were, exhibited expressions of disbelief.

The Hunter Leader, struggling to rise from the ground, watched as a young man, clothed in white and with an ancient bronze sword hung around his waist, approached them leisurely.

The newcomer was none other than Shen Yuan.

Even Shen Yuan didn’t expect to witness such a gruesome sight, guided by Bai Xue, of a bear demon attacking humans. His rage made him slay the demon with one swift stroke of his sword.

However, what surprised Shen Yuan was not seeing any joy on the faces of these survivors. Instead, he saw shock and a gradually rising fear.

“It’s over, we’re doomed!”

A hunter fell to his knees, his face full of terror.

“Having killed a member of the monster tribe, the Lord Mountain God will surely bring down his wrath.”

“Our village is doomed, the Lord Mountain God will judge us all!”

Even a hunter lost his sanity, full of anger as he glared at Shen Yuan, shouting hoarsely:

“It’s your fault; you should have just scared off the bear demon, why did you kill it!”

All the villagers, hearing this, glared at Shen Yuan with hateful eyes. Only the Hunter Leader managed to maintain his composure and sternly shouted:

“Enough! It was because of this gentleman that we were saved.”

“Without this gentleman, only a few of us would have survived.”

“We will discuss the matters regarding God’s wrath when we return.”

It seemed that the Hunter Leader had some respect among the hunters. His words quietened them, temporarily restraining their hostility.

The Hunter Leader turned towards Shen Yuan, forcing a smile:

“Please forgive them, sir. They don’t mean it, it’s just…”

Before the Hunter Leader could finish, a young man with bloodstained arms emerged from the wreckage behind. He spoke in a somber voice:

“Uncle Lih, Big Brother Zhang was crushed by falling bricks and didn’t make it.”

Hearing this, the worry on the Hunter Leader’s face deepened.

At this time, Bai Xue, who was perched on Shen Yuan’s shoulder, nudged him with her face and pointed her little gloved paw towards the young man.

Shen Yuan noticed that the young man’s fingernails seemed unusually long, splattered with bits of flesh.

On his bloodstained right index finger, he was wearing a red and black ring that exuded a faint yet eerie atmosphere.
