Chapter 296: Are You Humans?

The late Profound Immortal stronghold of the Qingzhi Tribe finally realized the seriousness of the situation after hearing all the beasts’ words.

"I need to contact my ancestor about this matter. You can all be assured, this is definitely not my Qingzhi Tribe’s doing. As the number one tribe in the Immortal Realm, we have no need to engage in such actions…"

After saying this, he took out an immortal tool for communication.

Everyone used their divine sense perception and noticed that the fluctuations produced by the communication tool were not directed toward the Tribulation Area, causing all the beasts to breathe a sigh of relief.

They were scared as well.

They feared this was a scheme by the Qingzhi Tribe, worried that the Qingzhi Tribe stronghold before them would contact other tribe members to encircle and attack them.

Even though the Qingzhi Tribe stronghold insisted they weren’t involved, all the beasts present remained cautious.

In a small world of the Qingzhi Tribe,

Lord Chiyu, who was in seclusion healing, received a message from his subordinates.

Upon reading the message, Lord Chiyu’s expression changed drastically.

"It must be him! He definitely ambushed me…"

Previously, Lord Chiyu believed he was the only Golden Immortal in the entire Immortal Realm.

However, after being ambushed last time, he learned there was indeed another Golden Immortal in the realm.

Because if the attacker wasn’t a Golden Immortal, it would have been impossible for them to force him to use so many life-saving tactics to survive.

Now, as a tribulation being undergoes the Golden Immortal tribulation, the guardian of that being is likely the one who ambushed him.

Only such an existence could easily make hundreds of Profound Immortal Beast Immortals disappear.

Therefore, after seeing the message from his subordinate, Lord Chiyu felt an eighty percent certainty that the perpetrator was indeed the same being who had ambushed him.

Now that he knew the ambusher was located, if he wanted to take revenge, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity.

However, although he had survived using his tactics last time, he might not be able to stand against the opponent in a real fight.

Lord Chiyu hesitated greatly.

Finally, he sighed, feeling a sense of discouragement.

He decided not to participate in this matter and had no intention of seeking revenge.

He believed he could not defeat his opponent, and pursuing revenge could very likely lead to his own demise; his injuries still hadn’t healed.

After some consideration, he took out the communication tool and sent a message.

Not long after the message was sent, the late Profound Immortal Beast Immortal of the Qingzhi Tribe near the Tribulation Area received it.

Upon reading the message, his face turned quite grim.

After a moment of thought, he addressed all the beasts, saying, "Just now, my ancestor communicated and mentioned that the guardian of the tribulation being could very likely be a Golden Immortal stronghold, so I need to return. You all can handle things on your own."

Without any hesitation, he turned and left.

"What? A Golden Immortal?"

"Besides Lord Chiyu, are there any other Golden Immortals in the Immortal Realm?"

Upon hearing the Qingzhi Tribe stronghold’s words, all the beasts found it hard to believe.

"Lanying, is what your ancestor said true?" a beast quickly asked the still-hovering Profound Immortal stronghold of the Qingzhi Tribe.

"This is what my ancestor said, and who else, besides Golden Immortals, could make so many Profound Immortal strongholds lose contact?" The words of the Qingzhi Tribe stronghold resonated in the ears of all the beasts.

Upon hearing this, many beasts’ expressions grew grim.

They realized that only a Golden Immortal could kill so many Profound Immortal Beast Immortals.

However, if there was a Golden Immortal, it meant there were two Golden Immortals in the Immortal Realm.

But isn’t it true that one must undergo the Golden Immortal tribulation to achieve that?

Besides the Qingzhi Tribe ancestor, Lord Chiyu, who else is a Golden Immortal stronghold?

"Everyone, it’s better to believe it exists than to doubt it. I won’t participate in this matter; farewell."

Soon, a Profound Immortal beast turned to the others and said this.

Then, without any hesitation, they quickly left.

"Everyone, I’m leaving too."

"Let’s all disperse. Facing a Golden Immortal is simply looking for death if we try to disrupt the tribulation."

At this moment, all the beasts realized the truth.

Regardless of whether the protector was Lord Chiyu or a Golden Immortal from other races, they were not a match for them.

Even if Lord Chiyu personally killed so many beasts, they would have no way to contend with him.

First of all, their opponent was a Golden Immortal.

Secondly, it was those beasts who wanted to disrupt the opponent’s tribulation, so it was reasonable for the opponent to kill those who intended to interfere.

Soon, on the outskirts of the Tribulation Area, all the beasts from various tribes began to disperse.

Near the Tribulation Area, Li Xiaojun waited for more beasts to come and cause disruption. However, he didn’t detect any beast entering his divine sense perception range.

Seeing this situation, Li Xiaojun realized that the news of him killing so many Profound Immortal beasts must have reached the outside.

They knew full well that approaching the Tribulation Area meant death, so they wouldn’t make the same mistake as the previous batch.

"Eh?"

Just when Li Xiaojun thought that the beasts would not send anyone to disrupt again, he noticed that a being had entered his divine sense perception range.

However, just as Li Xiaojun prepared to strike, he realized that the arriving being was a mid Profound Immortal woman disguised as a beast.

This mid Profound Immortal woman was Wuling, a member of the Elders’ Council of the Human Race.

She had arrived in the vicinity six months ago.

However, she did not dare to release her divine sense to contact other beings, and to avoid exposure, she had deliberately hidden her figure.

As the Tribulation Thunder gathered more and more, and the tribulating being was on the verge of undergoing their tribulation, Wuling made a decision to enter the Tribulation Area to take a look.

If there were beasts undergoing the tribulation, she would do her utmost to stop them if given the chance.

Because allowing another beast to become a Golden Immortal would make the Human Race’s situation even more difficult.

So if there was an opportunity, even if it meant sacrificing herself, she would be willing to perish together with them.

As she approached the Tribulation Area, with only a month left until the Thunder Tribulation, Wuling slowly moved closer.

However, just as Wuling stealthily approached, someone suddenly appeared in front of her.

Startled, she quickly attacked.

An immortal tool flew swiftly towards Li Xiaojun.

But in the next moment, Li Xiaojun reached out and seized it, holding the immortal tool firmly in his grasp, unable to escape despite its struggles.

"You, you… eh?"

Initially, Wuling felt a bit panicked seeing Li Xiaojun easily catch her strongest attack with an immortal tool.

However, once she clearly saw Li Xiaojun’s appearance, she was immediately astonished.

Her divine sense quickly scanned Li Xiaojun, and she realized that this young man could very well be one of her people.

At this moment, Li Xiaojun did not speak, merely looking at her with a smile.

"Senior, are you one of us from the Human Race?" Wuling asked Li Xiaojun.

She used her divine sense to scan him, but she couldn’t ascertain his condition, as his cultivation level was far superior to hers.

She also couldn’t be sure he was human, because many beasts in their transformed state looked human.

The reason she suspected he was a senior from the Human Race was that she felt no killing intent from him.

Moreover, he had a smile when looking at her, which prompted her to ask if he was a member of the Human Race.
