Chapter 1172 - 1165: Forming a Team
As he got closer, Qin Yang's gaze measured the seven people under the tree.
All seven had strong auras and wore distinctly different outfits.
The monk in a moon-white monk robe, who had previously communicated with Qin Yang, had a gentle appearance, but beneath that gentle face seemed to lurk a hint of sharpness.
To the left of the moon-white monk robe monk were two people, one of whom was a burly man, as sturdy as an iron tower.
The burly man's upper body was nearly bare, revealing dark, muscular skin, with a scar on his face, and he carried a giant black hammer on his back, wrapped with chains.
Next to the burly man stood a young man, dressed in a robe with golden patterns, with a handsome appearance and a noticeable air of arrogance between his brows.
From their positions, the iron-tower man and the golden-robed man seemed to be a team.
On the right side of the moon-white monk robe monk were four people, including a pair of twins with identical looks, one dressed in blue and the other in red, with a white cloud emblem embroidered on their cuffs.
The woman in blue calmly composed, appearing to be the elder sister, while the woman in red was comparatively lively.
"People from Piaoling Palace?"
Seeing the cloud emblem on their cuffs, a guess formed in Qin Yang's mind.
Next to the twin sisters was a small, thin elder in grey-white robes, with completely white hair, a face full of wrinkles, half-closed eyes in which occasionally a spark of brilliance flickered, and exposed hands that were dry and slender.
On the outermost side of this group was a mysterious figure shrouded in a grey robe, whose appearance was indistinct.
However, with his keen perception, Qin Yang could feel a strong heretical aura emanating from this person.
Overall, judging from the aura leaked from these people, they were all exceptionally strong, all being at Late Stage Immortal Spirit Realm or above.
Among them, the monk in the moon-white monk robe, the golden-robed man, and the thin elder all had reached the Peak of Immortal Spirit Realm in terms of aura.
Only the twin sisters, the iron-tower man, and the mysterious figure shrouded in a grey robe displayed auras at the Late Stage of Immortal Spirit Realm.
"Was it this fellow Daoist who just contacted me through voice transmission?"
Qin Yang's gaze swept across the seven present, then focused on the monk in the moon-white monk robe.
"Yes, my benefactor, I am Huiguang, and these two benefactors are Teng Kui and Teng Yingwu."
The monk in the moon-white monk robe introduced himself briefly, then pointed at the iron-tower man and the golden-robed man beside him.
"Surname Teng? Could it be these two are from the Teng Family in the Royal Capital? This monk likely is too."
A glint flashed in Qin Yang's eyes.
From what he knew, near the Royal Capital, there's a faction called the Vajra Sect, whose cultivators are Buddhist Cultivators, having close ties with the royal family.
The Vajra Sect is also a top-level faction, stronger than the Blood Evil Sect by a margin; this Monk Huiguang is very likely from the Vajra Sect.
"These two female benefactors are Song Yu and Song Xia, this benefactor is Daoist Meng, and this one is..."
Monk Huiguang pointed to the twin sisters and the thin elder, pausing when he got to the mysterious figure in the grey robe, clearly indicating this person had recently joined.
"Call me Nether Wolf," the mysterious figure in the grey robe spoke hoarsely and narrowly after a brief silence.
"My surname is Qin, and this is my younger sister Zilan."
Qin Yang introduced himself briefly, then gazed at Monk Huiguang.
"Well met, Benefactor Qin and Benefactor Zilan."
Monk Huiguang saluted with one hand.
"Daoist friend mentioned something about the Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard; is everyone here to hunt the Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard?"
A glimmer flashed in Qin Yang's eyes as he asked directly.
"Indeed."
Monk Huiguang nodded in response.
"Based on what I know, although your group is formidable, it can't handle a Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard."
A glint flashed in Qin Yang's eyes as he looked at and addressed the assembly.
The Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard isn't an ordinary demon beast; even when immature, the mother dragon leopard usually accompanies it, and once mature, it reaches Commander Tier.
Once an adult, even an Initial Stage Commander Tier Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard is far beyond what average human cultivators can contend with.
In the same tier, a human cultivator at Early Stage Immortal Venerable Realm can be easily killed by a Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard, and even those at Middle Stage might not stand a chance against it.
At present, the strength shown by these folks is at Late Stage or Peak of the Immortal Spirit Realm; facing a Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard, they could be easily wiped out.
Hearing Qin Yang's words, everyone present turned their gaze toward Monk Huiguang.
"Originally, as Daoist Qin said, a true Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard is something even Immortal Venerables fear to confront. However, one that's severely injured is a great treasure trove."
Monk Huiguang's eyes flickered with a gleam as he spoke in a deep voice.
"A severely injured Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard?"
Qin Yang raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Yes, yesterday while training in the Celestial Cyan Mountain, I accidentally witnessed a battle between a Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard and a Three-Crowned Golden Flower Python, and the python fled first."
"However, the Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard was also heavily wounded and headed for the depths of the Celestial Cyan Mountain Range; I dared not pursue too far, but managed to apply a unique Buddhist Thousand-Mile Fragrance to its body."
Monk Huiguang explained.
"Oh, is that so?"
Hearing this, Qin Yang nodded slightly, but he didn't take Monk Huiguang's words entirely to heart.
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, taking the words of someone you just met at face value could get you killed without knowing why.
"Daoist Huiguang, even a severely injured Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard might be beyond the capabilities of cultivators like us at the Immortal Spirit Realm. Why not seek strong fighters from your sect?"
Qin Yang pondered briefly, then asked.
From the beginning, Qin Yang hadn't been overly ostentatious, exhibiting only an aura of the Late Stage Immortal Spirit Realm. With his Profound Turtle Concealing Breath Skill, it's difficult even for Middle Stage Immortal Venerables to see through him.
Hearing Qin Yang's question, the Song twin sisters and the slender old man with the surname Meng also turned their gazes to Monk Huiguang, evidently finding Qin Yang's question reasonable.
The Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard is, after all, a Commander Tier demon beast, naturally gifted; even a single move could easily kill an Immortal Spirit Realm cultivator.
"Benefactor Qin, the Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard is gravely wounded, likely with only about ten to twenty percent of its combat strength. I believe our group can handle it."
"Moreover, the Jade-Horned Dragon Leopard contains a trace of dragon bloodline, giving it a strong regenerative ability. If we wait for strong fighters from my sect, it might recover by then, and even if they come, what I get would be pitifully little."
Monk Huiguang glanced at Qin Yang, speaking earnestly and unhurriedly in explanation.
