Chapter 1040 - 1033: Departure, Celestial Cyan Mountain Range
Outside the martial arts training ground, in a loft, there were three figures watching the direction of the training ground.
Among the three figures, in the middle stood a middle-aged man dressed in a purple robe. The man had a rugged face, green eyes, and a beard. His eyes were bright, occasionally flickering with shrewdness and cunning.
On either side of the middle-aged man were an elder in a green robe and an elder in a red robe.
The green-robed elder was rather thin, with a faint aura of Wood Spiritual Power emitting from his body, while the red-robed elder was slightly overweight, surrounded by a surge of Fire Spirit Power.
"Lord, quite a number of people have come this time."
The green-robed elder observed the people in the training ground and said.
"Hmm."
The middle-aged man in the purple robe nodded, a slight curve appearing at the corners of his mouth.
"Lord, are we really going to give everyone a Wind Thunder Fruit? There are quite a few cultivators at the Immortal Master Realm among them."
The red-robed elder squinted slightly, looking at the purple-robed middle-aged man, and said.
This rugged-faced, green-eyed, bearded man in the purple robe was none other than the Lord of Wind Ridge Town, Zhuo Bufan.
"Hehe, Elder Chi Huo, you're joking. Wind Thunder Fruit is incredibly precious. Even in the Wind and Thunder Valley, on the tree guarded by those beasts, there are only thirty fruits. How could that be enough for so many people?"
Zhuo Bufan chuckled lightly, with a touch of disdain in his eyes, and said.
"Facing the Wind Thunder Demon Wolf pack, most of these people will become cannon fodder. As for those who remain, they will either become cannon fodder eventually or submit to me and become part of the Lord's Mansion."
Zhuo Bufan's eyes held a faintly cold smile as he looked at the fifty or sixty people in the training ground and said.
While Zhuo Bufan and the other two were conversing, Qin Yang suddenly furrowed his brows and glanced towards the loft, but immediately, his gaze moved away.
"What's wrong, Brother Qin?"
The chubby man asked.
"Nothing."
Qin Yang gently shook his head. Someone had been watching them just now.
Roar~!
As people were gathering in the training ground, a tiger's roar suddenly resounded, immediately drawing the attention of everyone.
They saw a Giant-toothed Tiger with green fur stride into the training ground, ridden by a pampered youth with slick hair and powdered face.
The pampered youth rode the Giant-toothed Tiger arrogantly, striding straight through the group of cultivators in the training ground.
The green Giant-toothed Tiger had already reached the Initial Stage of the Demon General level, its sharp fangs exposed, displaying a fierce demeanor as it passed by some cultivators, showing a hint of ferocity.
Those cultivators at the Immortal Spirit Realm remained relatively composed, but some cultivators in the mid to late Immortal Master Realm had somewhat unsightly expressions in the face of the green Giant-toothed Tiger's intimidating presence.
However, everyone was clearly aware of the identity of the pampered youth on the Giant-toothed Tiger, so although many were secretly angry, they didn't dare to say anything.
The pampered youth, full of self-satisfaction on the Giant-toothed Tiger, suddenly seemed to spot something amusing and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Haha, a kid who got scared by a Fiery Fire Horse is also here to apply for the Wind and Thunder Valley adventure..."
The pampered youth on the Giant-toothed Tiger was looking directly at Qin Yang.
As the pampered youth's laughter rang out, many cultivators also turned to look at Qin Yang.
Seeing this, Qin Yang furrowed his brows slightly, a glint of coldness deep in his eyes.
This pampered youth with slick hair and powdered face was none other than the one Qin Yang encountered at the town gate, the one sitting in the Bronze Horse Carriage, holding two beauties in his arms.
His identity, as the chubby man had already told him, was Zhuoyue, the son of Wind Ridge Town's Lord, Zhuo Bufan.
"Haha, under my Giant-toothed Tiger, do you think you might wet your pants..."
The pampered youth, Zhuoyue, laughed heartily, then directed the Giant-toothed Tiger to walk towards Qin Yang and the chubby man.
This scene drew everyone's attention to them.
"Brother Qin, this guy has his eyes on you."
The chubby man said with a somber expression.
Qin Yang maintained a calm expression, but beneath the surface of his eyes, there was a glint of cold light. This idiot, if he really wanted to do something, Qin Yang wouldn't mind giving him a memorable lesson.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
At that moment, three figures suddenly appeared on the martial arts stage, in front of everyone.
These three figures were precisely the Lord of Wind Ridge Town, Zhuo Bufan, and the two elders of the Lord's Mansion, Elder Qingmu and Elder Chi Huo.
"Yue'er, do not act recklessly in front of all these fellow cultivators!"
Zhuo Bufan said sternly to Zhuoyue, who was riding the green Giant-toothed Tiger, approaching Qin Yang.
"Yes, Father."
Upon hearing Zhuo Bufan's stern words, Zhuoyue finally restrained the Giant-toothed Tiger, but the playful look in his eyes towards Qin Yang did not fade.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for answering the call of my Lord's Mansion to head to the Wind and Thunder Valley together."
A rugged face, Zhuo Bufan had bright green eyes, and as he looked around at everyone, he spoke with a few undertones of majesty.
"You are too kind, Lord."
"Following the Lord to take on those Wind Thunder Demon Wolves and pluck the Wind Thunder Fruit is an honor for us."
"..."
Most of the cultivators here were loose cultivators. Zhuo Bufan, being an Immortal Venerable Realm cultivator and the Lord of Wind Ridge Town, naturally prompted some cultivators to flatter him, agreeing in chorus.
"Haha, thank you, fellow cultivators. Let us set off now."
Zhuo Bufan laughed heartily, then issued a long whistle.
Flap~! Flap~!
From the rear courtyard of the Lord's Mansion, ten Black Feathered Eagles flew over.
These Black Feathered Eagles were merely Tier Two Demon Beasts, the lowest type of flying demon beasts, relatively easy to tame, with each capable of carrying five or six people on their backs.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please."
Zhuo Bufan said to everyone.
Upon hearing this, the cultivators present all flashed onto the backs of the Black Feathered Eagles.
Swish!
Zhuo Bufan saw this, grabbed at his waist with his right hand, and a Spirit Pet Bag appeared in his hand. He opened it, and a massive streak of light flew out, stopping in midair.
It was a gigantic Griffin, with an eagle's head, incredibly sharp eagle eyes, gazing around with a keen sense, and a majestic lion's body, its entire body had flame-like patterns that added an extra bit of majesty and dominance.
When the Griffin appeared, all the Black Feathered Eagles began flapping their wings restlessly.
"It's a Fire Griffin."
"I heard before that the Lord's spirit pet was a Peak-level Fire Griffin Demon General, and it's true."
"It's said that with meticulous training, such a Fire Griffin can reach the Commander Level, and by then will grow another pair of wings, becoming a Four-winged Fire Griffin."
"..."
On the Black Feathered Eagles, some cultivators murmured among themselves.
Qin Yang also gave the Fire Griffin an extra look. The Fire Griffin was considered to have medium potential as a demon beast; with careful training, it could indeed reach the Commander Level. From Qin Yang's perspective, this Fire Griffin was already close.
Seeing everyone's attention on his Fire Griffin, there was a hint of pride in Zhuo Bufan's green eyes. Then, with a flash, he stood on the back of the Fire Griffin.
Following Zhuo Bufan, the Lord's Mansion's Elder Qingmu, Elder Chi Huo, and the slick-haired Zhuoyue all got onto the back of the Fire Griffin.
"Everyone, let us depart!"
Zhuo Bufan looked toward the direction of the Celestial Cyan Mountain Range and said in a deep voice.
