“Zhufeng! Are you alright?” Ao Liancheng asked, anxious. “We were just planning on how we’re going to save you!”

“I’m fine. Am I not in one piece?” Chen Xiaobei shrugged.

“Childe Chen! You really are incredible!” Su Xiaoman was starry-eyed. “Our Xiao Bai is a 500,000 combat power Spiritual Beast at the early phase of God-Ascension cultivation! The enemy injured Xiao Bai yet you were able to escape unharmed!”

“Oh, I’m just lucky.” Chen Xiaobei said nonchalantly. “It’s not safe in these mountains. You guys better leave as quickly as possible!”

“What actually happened?” Ou Yanghu asked. “Seven days ago, we were attacked by Tenshou Starfield. What do they want anyway?”

“Because there’s some conflict going on among the Nine Zones… There’s no time to explain now!” Chen Xiaobei said. “You need to get out of this place! If you meet anyone from Tenshou, reveal your identity immediately and let them know that you’re not here to capture the Giant Barbaric Tiger so they won’t attack you!”

“Capture the Giant Barbaric Tiger?” Su Xiaoman and Ou Yanghu, and all 100 members of the Divine Tiger Faction wore a peculiar expression on their faces.

“What is it? Is the tiger related to your faction?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“Yes!” Su Xiaoman explained, “Three thousand years ago, our faction’s ancestor subdued a Giant Barbaric Tiger and made it his Spirit Beast. It helped him to defeat all his enemies and he finally managed to get himself to the Earth-God Realm! The Giant Barbaric Tiger is our faction’s emblem!”

Chen Xiaobei posed another question, “So, do you still have the tiger in your faction?”

“No…” Su Xiaoman shook her head. “The Giant Barbaric Tiger has an Earth-God’s strength… Ever since the last cat followed our ancestor to the Earth-God realm, no one in our faction has subdued another one…”

“Has anyone ever tried?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“Of course, we have!” Su Xiaoman said. “Subduing a Giant Barbaric Tiger is a dream that everyone in our faction wishes to achieve! The members of our faction had tried all kinds of ways to capture the tiger but we have never been successful…”

Chen Xiaobei shone with anticipation. “Then, all these must mean that you know how to quickly locate a Giant Barbaric Tiger, right?”

“Yes!” Su Xiaoman nodded. “We have a specific method to find the tiger. We’ve always been successful at tracking it but not subduing it…”

“That’s great! That’s awesome! Do you know how to do it? That would be a great help to me!” Chen Xiaobei was so happy he gave Su Xiaoman a big bear hug.

After his conversation with Wugui Kojiro, Chen Xiaobei found out that he only had 22 days left to stop the joint-attack on Saint Duke.

Every minute and every second was significant to Chen Xiaobei.

If he could find the Giant Barbaric Tiger in the shortest time possible, he would have quite a substantial surplus of time for his subsequent endeavor.

“I… How can I help you?” Su Xiaoman blushed. “We are indebted to you, Childe Chen. I… I’m willing to agree to anything…”

“I want you to bring me to find the Giant Barbaric Tiger! The sooner the better!” Chen Xiaobei answered.

“You… You want to subdue a Giant Barbaric Tiger?” Su Xiaoman asked.

“Subdue or kill. I’ll figure it out when we find it!” Chen Xiaobei said eagerly. “Of course, if it’s inconvenient for you to escort me, just tell me how I can find the cat. I’ll track it down myself.”

“I’m willing to be your guide!” Su Xiaoman nodded decisively.

“Great! That’s great!” Chen Xiaobei was thrilled.

“Hang on for a minute, Childe Chen.” Su Xiaoman turned away and found a few attentive members of her factions and urged them to look after the injured Gang Zi and Xiao Bai.

While she was gone, Ou Yanghu spoke up, “Childe Chen, I really sorry, but I have an assignment to complete. I would have gone with you, otherwise!”

“I understand!” Chen Xiaobei nodded. “Again, you’ll just need to protect your faction brothers and my friend. Don’t worry about everything else!”

“Don’t worry, Childe Chen!” Ou Yanghu thumped his chest and declared, “Your friend is my friend too! I will make sure he leaves the mountains safely!”

Ao Liancheng protested, “No! What are you saying, Zhufeng? You’re not bringing me with you?”

Chen Xiaobei answered, “Your wounds still need to heal! It’s better for you to leave this place!”

“Who told you that?” Ao Liancheng objected. “It’s the eighth day already! After eating that pill you gave me, my injuries are already 80% healed! I don’t care! I have to go with you! If anything happens to you, I don’t know how I can face my people!”

“I…” Chen Xiaobei exhaled. “Alright. Come with me then. There shouldn’t be any danger anymore…”

Chen Xiaobei had only agreed to it for the hundreds of millions of merpeople disciples.

In the past seven days, Chen Xiaobei had been receiving notifications on his Netherspirit Battlescouter.

Chen Xiaobei’s current total number of disciples had risen to a shocking one billion.

If Ao Lianchen went back, constantly worried about Chen Xiaobei, his other disciples would begin to fret too.

They would then discover that the Chen Xiaobei they worshipped was not as powerful as the legend led them to believe.

The disciples who were grateful to him would never forget him, but the disciples who worshipped Chen Xiaobei for his capacity might find themselves beginning to doubt him, which would gradually reduce his disciples.

Yanwang said that without the total amount of 100 million disciples, his Heavenly Path’s reward would be taken back.

With 1 billion disciples, Chen Xiaobei could claim the Heavenly Path’s reward ten times.

But if he was even one disciple short of 1 billion, that number would be reduced to nine.

At this critical juncture, Chen Xiaobei could not afford to lose any disciples.

Finally, when all the plans were finalized, Chen Xiaobei, Ao Liancheng, and Su Xiaoman went on a tiger hunt, whereas Ou Yanghu led his faction members out of the mountains.

…

Chen Xiaobei took out a Tenshou combat spacecraft and under Su Xiaoman’s directions, flew towards the mountains.

They flew the whole night, and when it was almost dawn, Su Xiaoman told Chen Xiaobei to land on a mountain sheltered by an indigenous forest.

“I am sure that there is a Giant Barbaric Tiger in this mountain!” Su Xiaoman said. “From now on, we’ll have to be extra careful! One wrong move and our lives will be at great risk!”
