For the Tang Clan to pay such a high price, the Spirit Beast sealed was definitely not a Rank 5 Spirit Beast. Actually, the highest-ranked Spirit Beast in Seven Horn Mountain was only Rank 6, equivalent to a human Martial King expert.
Within Seven Horn Mountain, there was only one type of Rank 6 Spirit Beast, and that was the King of Seven Horn Mountain, the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox.
The Spirit Fox was a special kind of spirit beast. This kind of spirit beast could evolve through continuous cultivation. For example, the Two-tailed Spirit Fox that Xiao Chen had encountered in the outer perimeter was formed after the Spirit Fox evolved.
However, the conditions for the Spirit Fox to evolve were rather harsh. In the vast Seven Horn Mountain, there were only a hundred Spirit Beasts that had evolved to Rank 5. As for the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox that had successfully evolved to Rank 6, there was only one in the entire Seven Horn Mountain.
This Six-Tailed Spirit Fox was the Tang Clan's target. However, what made Xiao Chen feel strange was that the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox was as strong as an Inferior Grade Martial King. How could the Tang Clan be confident in dealing with it?
Could it be that they were like the Xiao Clan, hiding a Martial Saint Expert? If that was the case, it was not impossible. However, Xiao Chen felt that something was wrong.
Xiao Yulan smiled gently, "You are not the only one who thought of this. My father and the Third Elder also thought of it. If they successfully sealed the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox, it would be equivalent to having another Martial King expert."
"Furthermore, the lifespan of a Six-Tailed Spirit Fox is extremely long. It is sufficient to ensure that the Tang Clan's position in Mohe City will not be threatened for a hundred years."
Furthermore, their mission this time was related to the Promise of Ten Years that would take place in three months. It was no wonder that the First Elder and the others had decided to seal the mountain in order to seal the Spirit Beast under the Xiao Clan's nose.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Just at this moment, the loud roars of Spirit Beasts suddenly came from within Seven Horn Mountain. The roars were like thunder, and even the ground trembled slightly. An unending stream of rumbling footsteps could be heard coming from the front.
This encampment was built at the junction between the inner and outer regions of Seven Horn Mountain. The Great Elder and the others had chosen this location as their base of operations for the sake of convenience.
At this moment, the angry roars of the Spirit Beasts could be heard one after another. It was deafening. It was as if an army of thousands of men and horses were about to trample over this place.
"What's going on?"
"How can there be so many beast roars?"
"Are the spirit beasts on a rampage?"
The order in the encampment suddenly became chaotic. The guards were shouting in panic and had completely lost their usual discipline.
Xiao Chen immediately released his Spiritual Sense, which spread out in all directions like ripples. However, he did not find anything special within 800 meters.
With a thought, Xiao Chen retrieved all of his Soul Consciousness and released it in a different way, shooting it out in a straight line like a laser beam.
This was another method that Xiao Chen had inadvertently discovered. By shooting out his Divine Sense in a straight line, the probing distance would be doubled. The downside was that it was not comprehensive enough. If he wanted to explore a 360-degree scene, he would have to keep moving in a straight line, which would consume even more mental strength.
In an instant, everything within 1500 meters could be seen clearly. Xiao Chen was finally able to see the situation clearly. A large group of Spirit Beasts of all sorts were rushing down the mountain at high speed.
There were Rank 3 Scarlet Moon Tigers, Rank 4 Demonic Scorpions, Sinister Wind Rats, and all sorts of Spirit Beasts. It was as if they had received some sort of order and were rushing down the mountain in a frenzy. In less than five minutes, they would arrive here.
"What's going on? Everyone, be quiet!" The First Elder came out from the great hall. When he saw the chaotic scene, he immediately shouted.
The First Elder was the First Elder after all. When everyone saw that he was the one making an appearance, the chaotic scene finally calmed down. Not long after, a Xiao Clan disciple quickly ran in from outside.
"First Elder, this is bad. The Spirit Beasts in the encampment seem to have all gone crazy. They are all rushing down the mountain and will arrive here soon."
Xiao Qiang's face was filled with shock. Spirit Beasts going crazy? When had such a thing happened on Seven Horn Mountain before? "Elder Liu, what do you think?"
Liu Fenglin's old face did not change at all. He said indifferently, "It is possible that they made their move in advance. As for why this group of Spirit Beasts went crazy, I am not sure."
Xiao Qiang muttered to himself for a while before saying to the Third Elder, "Xiao Tian, bring all the disciples below Martial Master and descend the mountain immediately. Elder Liu and I will bring a few Martial Grand Masters to take a look and see what exactly is going on."
"Great Elder, have you considered the matter that I mentioned to you earlier?" Liu Fenglin asked without any change in his expression.
In this place, only he could remain so calm. With his cultivation as a Martial Saint, even if all the Spirit Beasts in Seven Horn Mountain came, he would still be able to escape unscathed.
"Spirit Blood Jade? I still have to ask Xiao Chen about this first, "Xiao Qiang replied after muttering to himself for a while. He looked at Xiao Yulan who was walking over and asked," Have you seen Xiao Chen? "
"He left. He said he had something to do and went down the mountain first. He told us not to bother with him."
"What! He left? "Liu Fenglin cried out involuntarily. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Xiao Chen had left three minutes ago because his Spiritual Sense had discovered something interesting. He might know the reason for the Spirit Beasts' rampage.
… …
In a forest within Seven Horn Mountain, a group of people had anxious expressions as they spoke. Among them, a blue-clothed man was the most eye-catching. This person was the mysterious Martial Saint that Xiao Chen had met in the Thunder King's cave.
The other group of people were indeed the disciples of Mohe City's Tang Clan. Tang Yuan was also there. However, at this moment, his complexion was pale and he was trembling with fear. He was hugging a young Spirit Beast and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
"Mister Leng, what should we do now?" The Tang Clan's First Elder, Tang Feng, asked anxiously. That group of Spirit Beasts had been chasing them relentlessly. If they could not think of a solution, aside from the blue-clothed man, everyone else would die here.
The blue-clothed man glanced at the young Spirit Beast in Tang Yuan's arms and said indifferently, "Elder Tang, I have already helped you with the matter regarding the Spirit Beast. Although there was an accident during the process, the responsibility is no longer on this old man. Your Tang Clan's agreement should still be in effect, right?"
Tang Feng's face twitched as he glared at Tang Yuan hatefully. When Tang Yuan, who was not far away, felt this gaze, he immediately raised his head in fright.
For the sake of the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox in Seven Horn Mountain, the Tang Clan had been preparing for many years. Finally, the opportunity for the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox to give birth had arrived.
After giving birth, the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox would be extremely weak. Its strength would drop to the Martial Saint realm. To the Tang Clan, this was a rare opportunity.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the blue-clothed man found the Tang Clan. Both parties immediately came to an agreement. The blue-clothed man would deal with the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox and the Tang Clan would seal the Spirit Blood Jade that they had obtained from the auction in the Great Tang Nation.
Who knew that after everything was prepared, as long as Tang Yuan and the others brought the Spirit Blood Jade, they could take action immediately. However, Tang Yuan and the others had lost the Spirit Blood Jade.
This caused Tang Feng to fly into a rage out of humiliation. After he scolded Tang Yuan, he prepared to stake it all on one throw. He sent people from the Tang Clan to bring the Spirit Blood Jade back.
When the appointed time arrived, the deathsworn still did not return. Tang Feng guessed that the matter had been exposed and could not wait any longer. After the blue-clothed man lured the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox away, he sent people to steal the young it gave birth to.
Feeling that its young had been stolen, the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox actually went berserk. Under its might, all the Spirit Beasts in Seven Horn Mountain went berserk and chased after the Tang Clan.
Along the way, the Tang Clan disciples either died or were injured. The originally strong group was now left with only a few dozen people. The only hope they had now was this blue-clothed man.
Recollecting his thoughts, Tang Feng said anxiously, "Senior Leng, naturally, you did not go back on the agreement. Our Tang Clan will definitely keep our promise. However, how do we leave the mountain now?"
The blue-clothed man smiled faintly, "There is a Rank 4 Spirit Beast, three Rank 5 Spirit Beasts, and an uncountable number of Rank 3 Spirit Beasts rushing over here."
Hearing this, the already anxious faces of the Tang Clan members became even more terrified. Along the way, they had resisted with all their might. However, when surrounded by a large group of Spirit Beasts, it was futile.
"Senior Leng, you … what do you mean by this?" Tang Feng asked, trembling.
The blue-clothed man smiled casually, "Elder Tang, there is no need to be nervous. Since I followed you here, I will guarantee that you will leave this place alive. Think about it, who would be more anxious than us now that such a situation has occurred?"
Tang Feng thought for a moment and his eyes lit up. He said joyfully, "Are you saying that the Xiao Clan …"
"That's right. With such a big situation happening, the Xiao Clan will definitely send people to investigate. However, the Spirit Beasts are already in a frenzy. They will not be reasonable and will only kill anyone they see. With them helping us block for a while, escaping should not be a problem."
"Right now, the biggest problem is the little Spirit Fox that Young Master Tang is carrying. The Six-Tailed Spirit Fox can vaguely sense the position of the Spirit Fox. As long as we bring the Spirit Fox along, it will be very difficult to escape from the group of Spirit Beasts behind us."
Looking at the little Spirit Fox with its eyes closed in his embrace, Tang Feng felt a headache. This little thing was like a death sentence. When he heard the blue-clothed man's words, he seemed to feel relieved. He said, "Senior Leng, are you saying that we should give up on this little Spirit Fox?"
"You cannot let it go!" Before the blue-clothed man could say anything, Tang Feng shouted.
Originally, after sealing the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox, they would be able to form a strong fighting force. Now, they could only obtain the infant of the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox. Who knew how long it would take for it to form a strong fighting force.
However, now that so many people had died and they had spent so much effort, if they let the little Spirit Fox go, they would not be able to obtain any benefits.
The blue-clothed man smiled gently, "I do not intend to give up on this little Spirit Fox. What I mean is that as long as someone escapes with the little Spirit Fox, with the Xiao Clan blocking for us, the rest of us will definitely be able to escape. There is not much time left, Elder Tang, please make a decision quickly."
Tang Feng quickly thought about it and quickly agreed with the blue-clothed man's point of view. However, who should he send to lure it away was a problem.
First of all, the blue-clothed man had to be eliminated. Not to mention whether he would agree or not, even if he agreed, Tang Feng would not be at ease leaving it to him. Otherwise, he could just leave and come up with a random excuse, saying that he had lost it. No one would dare to do anything to him.
Next, he had to eliminate himself as well. Luring the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox away sounded simple, but if he was not careful, he might lose his life here. So many people had died along the way, Tang Feng was already very frightened. He did not want anything to happen to himself.
Thus, the only candidate left was Tang Yuan, who had just made a huge mistake. After making up his mind, Tang Feng immediately said, "Follow the First Young Master and bring the little Spirit Fox down the mountain. If Tang Yuan loses this little Spirit Fox, I believe I do not need to tell you how the Clan Head will punish you."
