Chapter 29

C29 – Celestial Wolf Gang

“That brat killed Enforcer Cui!”

In the midst of the fray, the black-robed assassins desperately fending off the Azure Demonic Wolves witnessed Jiaang Lin deliver a devastating punch to Nan Wuyan, and with a few words, provoked Nan Wuyan’s death from sheer rage.

Their faces turned ashen, and the unease and terror in their hearts intensified.

At that moment, their will to fight completely evaporated.

Even the formidable Nan Wuyan had fallen to Jiaang Lin.

How could they stand a chance against him?

Furthermore, Jiaang Lin didn’t even need to lift a finger; they were doomed to perish under the relentless assault of the Azure Demonic Wolves’ razor-sharp claws and fangs.

“What should we do now?” asked one of the assassins, his face ghostly pale and his eyes brimming with dread.

The others remained silent, at a loss for words.

They had no viable strategy to break free from the Azure Demonic Wolves’ siege, much less confront Jiaang Lin, the fearsome youth.

Ah!

At last, the beleaguered assassins could no longer fend off the savage onslaught of the Azure Demonic Wolves.

Their screams of agony echoed continuously.

One by one, the black-robed assassins fell to the Azure Demonic Wolves controlled by Jiaang Lin, dying where they stood.

None were spared.

From a distance, Jiaang Lin observed the demise of the assassins at the hands and teeth of the Azure Demonic Wolves. Without lingering, he swiftly departed the scene.

Eventually, he discovered a cave and made his way inside. Settling cross-legged on a massive stone, he began to practice the Heaven Earth Creation Spell, drawing upon the Heaven Earth Spiritual Energy to replenish his depleted Genuine Qi and Soul Power.

While an Azure Demonic Wolf’s strength was only at Body Refining Level Nine, Jiaang Lin’s own cultivation at Body Refining Level Eight meant that controlling a single wolf didn’t overly tax his Soul Power.

But earlier, he had simultaneously commanded twenty Azure Demonic Wolves, each with the strength of a Body Refining Level Nine Cultivator. Understandably, Jiaang Lin had expended a significant amount of Soul Power, leaving him visibly fatigued.

​With the Heaven Earth Creation Spell in motion, majestic waves of Heaven Earth Spiritual Energy converged above Jiaang Lin’s head within the cave, forming an immense Spirit Energy Vortex.

Guided by Jiaang Lin, the pure spiritual energy furiously flooded into his body, purifying his meridians, limbs, and bones, while also replenishing his Genuine Qi and restoring his depleted Soul Power.

Simultaneously, the qi vortex at Jiaang Lin’s Dantian accelerated once more, advancing from the eighth to the ninth revolution.

His power leaped from Body Refining Level Eight straight to Body Refining Level Nine.

Night fell, and the heavens were sprinkled with stars, the bright moon suspended aloft.

Moonlight cascaded over the vast expanse of Celestial Peak Valley, casting dappled shadows.

While Jiaang Lin was lost in contemplation, a series of beast roars echoed in the distance.

The roars of the Demonic Beasts were accompanied by human screams, the clamor of fierce combat, and the sounds of explosions.

“Hmm? I didn’t expect someone else would be bold enough to venture into Celestial Peak Valley for a night hunt just like me. Interesting!”

Upon hearing the distant commotion, Jiaang Lin paused, a smile creeping onto his face.

He lightly tapped his toes, his form soaring through the air as he turned and sped towards the source of the beast roars and the sounds of battle.

Jiaang Lin was eager to find out who else had the audacity to hunt in Celestial Peak Valley at night.

The valley was notorious for being a hotspot for Demonic Beast activity at night, making it exceedingly perilous.

It was rare for cultivators from Clear Water Town to brave the valley at night to slay Demonic Beasts.

This, of course, sparked Jiaang Lin’s curiosity.

As he drew closer to the sounds, the thunderous roars and the intense clash of combat grew louder and more distinct.

He could faintly detect the formidable presence of Demonic Beasts and Human Cultivators, along with a heavy scent of blood.

“It’s the Celestial Wolf Gang.”

Concealed in the shadows, Jiaang Lin surveyed a clearing and spotted several figures clad in purple Battle Armor. He instantly recognized them as gang members of the Celestial Wolf Gang.

The Celestial Wolf Gang was a prominent faction in Clear Water Town.

Though not as renowned as the Qiao family, Dao Artifact Hall, Myriad Medicine Pavilion, or his own Jiaang family, it was still a significant force in the town.

With hundreds of members and a robust foundation, the gang boasted numerous experts at Body Refining Level Seven and even Level Nine.

Additionally, the Celestial Wolf Gang counted several Qi Gathering Stage powerhouses among its ranks.

Their leader, Yinn Shediao, was a formidable Qi Gathering Level Seven Peak Stage expert and one of the town’s most formidable figures.

“The Celestial Wolf Gang is known for its unity. Its members are renowned for their deep sense of camaraderie and loyalty.

In fact, in my previous life, when the Jiaang Family was under siege by the Qiao Family, the Celestial Wolf Gang had come to our aid.”

“If it hadn’t been for that, I wouldn’t have managed to escape with my life from the Qiao family in my previous life.”

Watching the Celestial Wolf Gang members now being besieged by Ghost Mastiffs, Jiaang Lin’s thoughts inevitably drifted back to the past, remembering the grace he had once received from the Celestial Wolf Gang.

“Hall Master Qu, we should retreat! If we continue like this, all of our brothers will perish at the paws of these Ghost Mastiffs!”

An expert from the Celestial Wolf Gang, clad in purple battle armor, turned to a middle-aged man with a determined face and a robust build, urging him.

“Retreat? Absolutely not! Today, we must eliminate these Ghost Mastiffs and seize their Crystal Cores. Otherwise, the Vice Sect Master’s wounds will never heal!”

The middle-aged man firmly refused.

As he finished speaking, he moved in a flash, lifting the Great Ring Blade in his hand and fiercely lunging at one of the Ghost Mastiffs.
