Chapter 153: Elephant Tribe Crisis, Shameless Humanity

Chapter 153: Elephant Tribe Crisis, Shameless HumanityYin Mingzi hesitated for a moment and tentatively asked, "Senior, that Snake Demon, what exactly is it..."

"This is a matter of our sect, you need not concern yourself," Qin Xuanji said indifferently.

"Yes!"

Yin Mingzi felt a shock in his heart and quickly nodded.

He had always been speculating whether that Snake Demon was secretly nurtured by the Heavenly Puppet Sect or was wild, and he had been feeling somewhat dissatisfied.

Now, hearing Qin Xuanji's words, his heart was greatly shaken, and he no longer had any stray thoughts.

In fact, Qin Xuanji had always intended to suppress the Snake Catchers Sect; it was just that the appearance of the Snake Demon was perfectly timed, causing chaos in the Snake Catchers Sect, and it just so happened to practice puppet techniques.

Qin Xuanji simply let things take their course, allowing others to speculate.

"Additionally, the Mountain Movers Sect has been annihilated. I have arranged for the Iron Mountain Sect to take its place. From now on, the Five Great Sects of the Southern Region will be the Iron Mountain Sect, Snake Catchers Sect, Tai Xuan Sect, Carefree Sect, and Purple Mist Sect."

Qin Xuanji spoke slowly.

These seemingly calm words stirred up a storm in everyone's hearts, leaving them all in shock and disbelief.

The Mountain Movers Sect, a great sect that had stood for five hundred years, was just gone like that!

Gone without a trace, and Qin Xuanji didn't even explain how it happened.

As for the Iron Mountain Sect, it was a sect they had never even heard of, but it was undoubtedly a subordinate of the Heavenly Puppet Sect.

Everyone's expressions changed dramatically, and a terrifying thought arose in their hearts—could they also be wiped out at any time and replaced?

When Qin Xuanji mentioned the Five Great Sects, he placed the Iron Mountain Sect first, even before the Snake Catchers Sect. Wasn't this hint obvious enough?

"This ancient relic is entrusted to you Five Great Sects to explore together. If there are any gains, I will reward you handsomely."

At this point, Qin Xuanji's gaze turned cold, and he said chillingly, "If anyone dares to hide anything, the Mountain Movers Sect will be your warning!"

After speaking, Qin Xuanji's figure quickly faded and completely disappeared, and the token shattered into two halves.

The people present were already chilled to the bone, a sense of fear and... powerlessness rising in their hearts.

Beside Yin Mingzi, an old man trembled and said, "Grand Elder, could it be that the Mountain Movers Sect was destroyed by Qin Xuanji..."

"Silence!" Yin Mingzi reprimanded sternly.

The old man immediately fell silent.

Deep underground in Wu Mountain.

Xu Hei remained motionless until the faint sense of crisis completely disappeared. After another night, he finally opened his eyes and burrowed underground.

Xu Hei reached a very deep place and examined himself.

At this moment, he had completely transformed into a four-legged lizard, both inside and out.

But Xu Hei knew that only his form had changed, not his essence.

"The Transformation Pill seems to contain an extremely special power that can change the body's structure but cannot alter bloodline and race."

Xu Hei could feel the presence of that power.

With a thought, steam began to rise from his body, and that invisible power was slowly expelled, turning into a stream of air and disappearing.

As the medicinal power dissipated, Xu Hei's body slowly returned to its original form, bones extending, limbs retracting.

This change in body structure was reversible.

However, the process was somewhat lengthy, and Xu Hei spent a full two hours expelling that power completely, reverting to his original snake form.

"Phew!" Xu Hei let out a sigh of relief.

Recalling the scene of the Wild Giant Elephant Tribe consuming Bone Strengthening Pills, Xu Bai's pills weren't entirely useless.

The Transformation Pill, for him, could be used for disguise.

However, taking other pills still required utmost caution.

"The ancient tomb, better not go there for now. Let's see what Man Jin and the others have to say."

After a brief contemplation, Xu Hei left the place and headed straight for the Wild Giant Elephant Tribe's settlement.

…………

At this moment, a group of uninvited guests appeared in the Wild Giant Elephant Tribe's settlement, erupting into a fierce battle.

The members of the Elephant Tribe were unprecedentedly furious, risking their lives, each one burning their blood and energy, pursuing the humans with reckless speed.

Because this group of humans had targeted their children.

For the Wild Giant Elephant Tribe, this was an unforgivable crime, more infuriating than killing them!

Fortunately, Xu Hei had warned them, and the children didn't fall for it; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"None of you will escape!"

Man Jin's Ice Soul Tusk flew out, transforming into a prison of ice and snow, trapping the crowd.

The elephant herd trampled the sky, charging forward with overwhelming momentum.

But these human cultivators were not easy to deal with either. Each one had bodies like iron, absurdly tough, all having practiced body-tempering techniques, capable of contending with demonic beasts in physical combat.

Although they couldn't compare to the Elephant Tribe, being hit wouldn't be fatal. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

This was a combat style they had never seen before.

Moreover, among this group of people, there were actually two Core Formation Stage cultivators, who joined forces to fight Man Jin, battling back and forth.

"Leader of the Wild Giant Elephant Tribe, this is just a misunderstanding. How about we call it quits?"

One tall and strong man took out a chain, whipping it while sneering.

"That's right, we just came to visit, bringing some food for the children, with no ill intentions."

Another short and stout man also sneered, wielding a steel fork, stabbing continuously from a distance.

Man Jin, fighting two against one, showed no signs of falling behind, growing braver as the battle went on. He was willing to burn his life to bring these two thieves to justice.

At the same time, he was puzzled.

The strong ones of the Southern Region were mostly concentrated deep in Wu Mountain. Where did this sect come from, with a combat style they had never seen before?

This didn't seem like people from the Chu Kingdom.

"No matter who you are, today you will die!"

Man Jin's tusks charged forward, colliding with a large shield.

Suddenly, the large shield turned into a pool of sludge, quickly surging out, wrapping around Man Jin's tusks. The sludge continued to expand, growing larger and heavier.

Man Jin felt as if he were bearing the weight of a mountain, his speed drastically reduced.

"Today marks the founding of our Iron Mountain Sect. We must make a name for ourselves!"

The tall and strong man sneered, his eyes filled with cruel bloodlust, staring at Man Jin and the other beasts.

"We originally planned to capture your children as hostages to make things easier, but since they didn't take the bait, using force isn't out of the question."

The short iron man also revealed his true intentions, knowing that Man Jin was about to unleash a deadly move, and he retreated in advance, as if everything was within their calculations.

"Iron Mountain Sect..."

The sludge on Man Jin's tusks grew larger, becoming a mountain. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't shake it off. His body grew heavier, the sludge covering his nose and eyes, gradually spreading to his entire head.

"Heh, this is a third-grade mid-tier magical treasure, the Mountain-Covering Mud. Unless you break your tusks, it will only grow larger until it buries your entire body."

The tall and strong man sneered. This magical treasure was specifically designed to counter beasts like the Elephant Tribe that relied purely on strength, a perfect counter for elephants, leaving them utterly helpless.

In fact, even breaking the tusks wouldn't help. Once it stuck, it couldn't be shaken off, only spreading over the entire body.

"Step back a few paces, this beast is about to go berserk, don't get hurt!"

The short man quickly retreated, knowing that Man Jin was about to unleash a deadly move, avoiding it in advance, as if everything was within their calculations.
