The Journey of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 1001 - 548: The Situation

Ning Xiaoxian laughed, "Your tone is becoming more like that of a Heavenly Master."

He suddenly spat out a duck bone, "What kind of thing is a Heavenly Master?"

"It’s just a mortal who catches ghosts," Ning Xiaoxian changed the subject. "The master of Duling City, the Mirror Sea King’s Mansion, has many strange aspects. I suspect someone there is skilled in Witch Evil Skill." She recounted the strange events she witnessed on the road.

The White Tiger pondered, "If that’s the case, you really should listen to Mr. Snake and keep your distance from those in the Mirror Sea King’s Mansion."

Even he said so, and Ning Xiaoxian felt a chill in her heart.

The White Tiger said, "Witch Evil Skill originates from ancient times and is a Divine Skill feared even by Great Demons. Those who get involved with it never meet a good end. What you saw along the way was hardly the real Witch Evil Skill. Mortals have too short a lifespan and face many limitations. They die after using just a fragment of it. The truly deployed Witch Evil Skill can devastate miles of barren land and cause rivers to flow backward, and it wouldn’t be surprising."

He received the Spring Blossoms and Autumn Fruits, tossed the fruit in his hand a few times, and smiled, "You’re much more generous than Mr. Snake ever was. Back in those days, he..." He abruptly stopped and changed the subject, "I’ll come to him once he’s released from prison."

Is he so certain that Changtian can be released? Even she wasn’t so sure.

Ning Xiaoxian wondered, "Are you leaving now?" She thought this guy would also attend the longevity celebration.

"What in this world could bind me? I still need to hurry back to the North," the White Tiger scoffed disdainfully, "It’s just a mortal’s birthday, and they dare invite me to watch? Aren’t they afraid of shortening their lifespan!" He looked back at Ning Xiaoxian with a peculiar gaze, "Ning Xiaoxian, until we meet again."

He said no more and just took a step forward.

With just one step, he vanished into thin air, like ice melting into water. She knew this was not a mere disappearance but rather the use of an instant teleportation Divine Skill. By this time, the White Tiger might already be thousands of feet away.

She sat in her chair, unmoving. After quite a while, Qiongqi’s voice finally broke the silence, "Mistress, I thought you might inquire about him concerning Yin Jiu You."

Ning Xiaoxian said indifferently, "There’s no need to ask to know; his relationship with Yin Jiu You is not good, and being in the North, he might know even less about Yin Jiu You than we do. Otherwise, why would he travel miles to purify Gold Essence for me, only to rush back north again? I didn’t inform him beforehand that Changtian was in seclusion, so it’s obvious he wants to please Changtian and fears trouble at his back."

"The White Tiger was suppressed for ten thousand years. Over such a long time, the worldly situation has surely changed. After he left Jade Staff Peak and returned North, even if he can restore his past glory, he is likely trapped by the Northern Immortal Sect and Demon Sect. Yin Jiu You, although suppressed for many years, has avatars outside to grow his power, but the White Tiger lacks such conveniences. Now he must reclaim his former territories from scratch. The White Tiger is also eager for Changtian to emerge from seclusion, which is why he came all this way to help me purify Gold Essence, only to counterbalance Yin Jiu You. Based on this, his days in the North might not be so pleasant, right?"

"There it is, Yin Jiu You’s domain. The most fascinating thing is that the White Tiger won’t easily abandon that base because the North is abundant in mountains and minerals. Since he embodies the Geng Metal Power, that’s his home turf. How could relationships be harmonious between two Ancient Great Monsters fighting for territory?"

"So what if he’s a Divine Beast? Even a hero needs three helpers, and enough ants can chew an elephant to death. No matter how strong the White Tiger is, if he’s alone, why would Yin Jiu You fear him? The news Miluo sent to me mentioned that after the White Tiger returned to the North, he reformed his Zuochang Army. But the Northern Land is quite different from Bashe Forest. Gold stones feel no kindness, and even if he has defensive techniques, he cannot uniformly keep all enemies out like in Bashe Forest."

"On the other hand, the Northern Immortal Sect’s days might also be difficult. Letting the White Tiger escape from Jade Staff Peak is truly like returning a tiger to the mountains. The Northern Immortal Sect has long been embroiled in battles with the Southern Immortal Sect, and now there’s a White Tiger eyeing them from behind. It’s truly like having a fierce tiger at the back and a ravaging wolf in front." She thought a bit more, then added, "No wonder the Northern Immortal Sect has been aggressively advancing south these past two years; they must feel their rear too unstable and unable to eliminate the White Tiger’s power, so they decided to penetrate south instead? Haha, Yin Jiu You is also scheming well, driving the tiger to swallow the wolf. This is truly the intent."
