Chapter 419: Sima Nan

With Zhao Hu's formal ascension to the Moon Wheel realm.

Spiritual energy around him was stirred, transforming into a storm of spiritual energy, raging wildly!

Seeing this, the remaining two Star Wheel cultivators widened their eyes, their hearts seized with terror!

They never could have imagined.

After hearing this devastating news, Zhao Hu did not sink into despair or fall into permanent decline.

Instead, he turned his inner rage into driving force, achieving a breakthrough that countless cultivators dream of, and smoothly reached the Moon Wheel realm!

Know that such a realm.

Is among the pinnacle tiers across the entire Tiandou Prefecture.

Generally, only the ancestral elders of major factions are worthy of attaining such a realm!

Zhao Hu achieving the Moon Wheel realm at such a young age proves his talent is truly extraordinary!

Yet just as the two were lost in astonishment.

Zhao Hu quietly lowered his head.

His face held not a trace of joy from his breakthrough, only endless coldness.

His eyes were filled with unspeakable fury.

"Sima Nan… Sima Clan, I will leave not a single chicken or dog alive among you!"

If originally it was only because of Jiang Xiao's threat.

That forced him, against his will, to bring the other along to the Sima Clan.

Now, the situation had undergone a tremendous reversal!

He had become desperate, eager to rush to the Sima Clan and exterminate every last one of those damned Sima clan members!

So that these men could catch up to Sima Nan and make him understand: the one who slaughtered the Sima Clan was none other than Zhao Hu!

Of course, that whore must not be allowed to live either!

All the sincerity I gave was reduced to ashes, met only with lies!

Such humiliation can only be washed away in blood!

On the other side.

Watching Zhao Hu gradually descend into madness.

Jiang Xiao raised an eyebrow, his eyes suddenly revealing a hint of amusement.

He had not expected to encounter something so intriguing.

Then, his gaze flickered slightly, as if he had just remembered something.

He turned to the two Star Wheel cultivators and said casually:

"Set aside these matters for now—first, tell me about the anomalies here."

Upon hearing this, the two hesitated.

After all, they had clearly seen that the other was deeply interested in this matter.

If they revealed it too easily,

They would lose their last value and surely die here!

Seeing the two of them still hesitating and refusing to answer,

Jiang Xiao's expression cleared—he understood their concerns.

He first silently glanced at Zhao Hu.

Then turned to the two and smiled lightly:

"If you speak, I will not lift a finger again—I'll let you live…"

At these words, the two widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief!

Once they recovered, they burst into wild joy!

The other was clearly a supreme expert of the Ten Thousand Forms realm—there was no way he would deceive them.

That meant, once they revealed the information he wanted,

He would truly spare their lives and let them live!

Thinking this, their expressions relaxed.

With no more hesitation, they immediately revealed the anomalies of this place!

Soon, Jiang Xiao learned the situation here.

The reason Sima Nan sent these four to guard this location was to have them watch over a secret chamber!

The chamber was built beneath the mansion.

Inside it were Sima Nan's treasured possessions.

And it also imprisoned a Sun Wheel realm spiritual tiger, grievously wounded and on the brink of death!

It was because, every so often, he bathed in the beast's blood and consumed its essence,

That Sima Nan's foundation was replenished,

Allowing his cultivation base to surge until he reached the Half-Sun Wheel realm!

As for these four, Sima Nan had forcibly fed them parasitic insects.

These insects fed on spiritual energy and blood, dwelling within the cultivators' bodies.

If they failed to receive antidote within three months, their spiritual seas would dry up and their bodies would collapse into death.

Even if they received the antidote, it could not fully save them.

It merely caused the insects inside them to temporarily fall dormant.

After three months, the insects would awaken again, requiring another dose of antidote to suppress them.

Precisely because of this, even after Sima Nan left the manor to head for the Northern Dipper Mountain.

They did not dare flee on their own, and could only obediently remain stationed here.

Hearing this, Little White was quite astonished:

"A Sun Wheel realm spirit beast? With your manor lord's strength, how could he possibly capture it?"

The two Star Wheel cultivators were so frightened that they shuddered, and hurriedly said:

"Several months ago, when we went out with the manor lord, we happened to stumble upon this spirit tiger."

"When we first discovered it, it was already suffering such grave injuries."

"Its full strength could only be exerted at the Moon Wheel level, and afterward the manor lord, my lord, took action to subdue it and fed it many poisons."

"This caused its cultivation base to be suppressed once more; once its injuries recover, it will immediately be corroded by these toxins..."

"Afterward, the manor lord, my lord, ordered us to build a cage and forge hundred-refined fine-iron chains inscribed with spirit patterns to seal the spiritual power within its body."

"Reducing it to an ordinary sick tiger, whose full strength is not even a match for a Pre-Heaven realm martial artist — only then did it fall into being the manor lord's great tonic..."

Hearing there was such a story behind it, Little White's eyes lit up, and he immediately felt a surge of keen interest!

One must know that in the present Cangwu Mountain.

Companions who could play with him in his leisure time were few and far between.

There were only those three foolish Purple Mansion eagles and a single Star Wheel white crane.

Wouldn't it be better to bring this Sun Wheel spirit tiger back to Cangwu Mountain, to give himself a companion?

Perhaps because of this, Master would praise him again.

After all, apart from himself, the entire Cangwu Mountain did not have a single Sun Wheel existence!

When the time came and it was inconvenient for him to act, it would be just right to let this spirit tiger act on his behalf.

At this moment, Little White could not help but admire his own cleverness.

Thus, he immediately said:

"Then you two lead the way, let me go take a look at that secret chamber."

Once the words fell.

The two men, wanting to save their lives, did not dare hesitate in the slightest, and immediately walked ahead, preparing to lead Little White over.
