Xiang Shaoyun had learned from Elder Zhen Peng during his time at Wu Town that the Mad Lion Hunting Group was based near the Hundred Beast Mountain Range. Their main activity involved demonic beast hunting, and they were at least several hundred squads among their ranks. On top of that, they had also been growing every year without stop.
The main reason for them to be able to grow so fearlessly was due to the a.s.sistance they had received from some people in the Cloud Margin City. One could say that the Mad Lion Hunting Group was extremely infamous in parts such as Wu Town, Gateflag Town, and a few other nearby towns.
In the past, Xiang Shaoyun was incapable of eliminating them. Now that he was much stronger than the past, he would naturally not spare them. Riding on Jin Wo the Demon Emperor, it did not take him long to arrive above the Mad Lion Hunting Group's place.
The stronghold of the Mad Lion Hunting Group was very similar to bandit strongholds. Most of their buildings were built with wood and were in close proximity to each other. All around their main stronghold, watchtowers could be seen. There were also a few enclosed pa.s.sages which were most likely filled with traps.
Looking at them from high above the sky, Xiang Shaoyun was able to see everything clearly. One ought to admit that their defenses were really quite good, and a majority of their defensive measures were mainly set up to counter demonic beasts.
As they were located so near the Hundred Beast Mountain Range, their main enemies were the demonic beasts. After all, their main activity was beast hunting, and demonic beasts also held grudges like humans.
Xiang Shaoyun did not attack immediately. Rather, he stayed in the sky and muttered, ”Time to give the ghostrunes something to do. They have been on vacation for a long time.”
The ghostrunes residing within his Nether Soul Domain had changed greatly compared to the past. They were akin to fish back in water living in his domain, each of them growing rapidly, breaking through at record speed.
Even Xiang Shaoyun was surprised by it. After all, he had not been paying them much attention during the long period he was injured. By the time he had recovered and took a look at them, all the changes had already occurred.
He even started suspecting if the ghostrunes were related to the Imperial Nether Clan, which would explain their ma.s.sive growth. But he did not bother looking too much into it. In any case, their growth would only benefit him.
Today, he would test these ghostrunes out and see how good they were at killing. He directly leaped off Jin Wo's back when he was still a few kilometers high up in the sky. Any other Transformation Realm cultivator would fall to their death from this height.
Xiang Shaoyun had not leaped off Jin Wo's back due to overconfidence. Rather, it was because he had his pair of white tiger wings. Initially, he did not release his wings, and he let his body fall freely, enjoying a sort of excitement from it.
”Haha, this is refres.h.i.+ng!” Xiang Shaoyun howled with laughter like a madman while falling.
Finally, the Mad Lion Hunting Group people discovered him. With astonishment, they wondered if the thing falling from the sky was a human. Right as Xiang Shaoyun was about to fall to the ground, his wings sprouted out. With a flap, he started gliding through the air like a swallow.
One of them finally recovered from the shock and asked, ”You! Who are you?”
The falling human was suddenly flying. It was quite an inconceivable sight for them.
”Your killer,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a faint smile.
”What? You're an enemy!” the person cried out in alarm, but he was evidently still not thinking straight as that was all he did.
”That's right. I'm your enemy,” Xiang Shaoyun replied. He flapped his wings and dove down while sending a finger beam toward him.
Bang!
Before the person could react, his head exploded.
”Enemy attack! Enemy attack!” The other bandits finally stopped blanking out and started sounding the alarm.
