Chapter 406: Return to Hundred Peaks Sect
Many of those who entered the Qian Sky Dangerous Land remained trapped inside. Without access to Chaos Qi, as soon as they discovered a White Tiger, they immediately focused their attention on it.
It's not that everyone was searching for Xiang Ziyu and the White Tiger, but at least more than half of the people were after them.
Xiang Ziyu and the White Tiger were frequently surrounded, yet this kid truly had remarkable luck, managing to escape with the White Tiger every time. Moreover, each time he reappeared after breaking through amid injuries, his strength had significantly increased.
About a year later, there was suddenly no news of Xiang Ziyu and the White Tiger within the Qian Sky Dangerous Land.
Then, a month later, Xiang Ziyu and the White Tiger appeared at the Hundred Peaks Sect.
Inside the Hundred Peaks Sect, the disciples looked at the sudden appearance of the person and the tiger in front of them, and after being surprised, they all became excited.
"White Tiger?"
"Is this the legendary White Tiger, one of the Four Holy Beasts?"
"Elder Xiang really brought back the White Tiger!"
"Elder Xiang is truly amazing!"
"So, does our Hundred Peaks Sect also have a Protector Beast now? And it's one of the Four Holy Beasts!"
The White Tiger listened to the crowd and immediately lifted its head, glaring angrily at everyone and shouted, "Who is the Protector Beast? You all are the protectors; I, the Saint Beast, am just here to take a look at your Hundred Peaks Sect and will leave after a while."
"Not the Protector Beast?"
"Just here as a guest?"
Hearing this, the disciples were momentarily stunned. Some even took a few steps back, frightened by the sudden fierce demeanor of the White Tiger.
Xiang Ziyu immediately looked unhappy and pulled on the White Tiger, saying, "Why are you being so fierce? What if you scare our Hundred Peaks Sect disciples?"
Then, he turned to reassure the Hundred Peaks Sect disciples, "Don't worry, one day it will become our Hundred Peaks Sect's Protector Beast."
Hearing this, the White Tiger couldn't help rolling its eyes, but it was too lazy to bother with Xiang Ziyu. Back in the Qian Sky Dangerous Land, Xiang Ziyu didn't know how many times he said things like it would certainly become Xiang Ziyu's mount or that it would become the Protector Beast of the Hundred Peaks Sect. Initially, it would refute these claims every time, even sparring with Xiang Ziyu.
But gradually, as Xiang Ziyu said it more often, it had grown numb.
Saying it couldn't out-talk Xiang Ziyu.
Fighting it couldn't overpower Xiang Ziyu.
In fact, initially, it was stronger than Xiang Ziyu, considering it bore the bloodline of the White Tiger, one of the Four Holy Beasts. Even if it wasn't yet an adult, it was quite powerful.
But gradually, as they continued to battle, Xiang Ziyu slowly began to catch up to it.
It couldn't understand why, even though they were both battling, both honing themselves, and both growing, Xiang Ziyu's rate of growth was faster.
Now, it even felt that Xiang Ziyu was no weaker than it was. At least, without fighting to the death, it truly couldn't suppress Xiang Ziyu.
As for fighting to the death with Xiang Ziyu?
It didn't know why, but it had never considered this issue.
The White Tiger followed Xiang Ziyu into the Hundred Peaks Sect, shaking its head as it walked: "Your Great Teaching is quite lacking. Although the sect looks quite big, look at what's inside it?
This Mountain Protection Array, is it even a proper Mountain Protection Array? I could break it with just a few swipes of my claws.
And inside here, the buildings are all over the place.
And the formations inside your sect are too few. Look over there…"
Xiang Ziyu, listening to the White Tiger constantly pointing out the flaws of the Hundred Peaks Sect, immediately wore an unpleasant expression and said, "You speak as if you know a lot, as if you've been inside many Great Teachings. You're just a cub that hasn't fully grown, what do you know."
The White Tiger immediately retorted, "I haven't been in a Great Teaching, but my parents have visited countless ones. Naturally, I know what a Great Teaching is supposed to be like. In any case, your sect is not impressive."
As it spoke, the White Tiger followed Xiang Ziyu up a mountain peak. It glanced at the inscription at the base of the peak, which read Four Treasures Peak, and curled its mouth even more: "Is this the peak you're on?
Your master is the sect hierarch of the Hundred Peaks Sect, right? So this peak should be the best in your sect.
Yet look at the state of your mountain peak, what is this? It's so lacking in substance. There's nothing here. Such a large mountain peak, and not even a single Spiritual Spring or Immortal Tree, just ordinary flowers and plants, it's too low-grade.
Oh, there is some Immortal Fields over there, but the Immortal Fields…"
The White Tiger was talking when it spotted the ancient tree in the center of the Immortal Fields, its eyes widened suddenly, and the next moment it darted to the front of the ancient tree.
"What is this? The Life Ancient Tree? How could your Four Treasures Peak have such a treasure? This ancient tree... something's not right, its life aura is so weak. What did this tree experience before?"
The White Tiger circled the ancient tree twice, reaching out a paw, just about to place it on the tree to investigate further when suddenly, a streak of sword light lunged out from the void, heading straight for the White Tiger.
The White Tiger sensed the fierce wind behind it and swiftly turned around, swiping its claw at the direction from which the golden light came.
In an instant, a fierce wind swept up, with such mighty gusts that the surrounding Immortal Herbs were blown to one side.
