Chapter 10

Wang Xiong brought a pack of wolves and tigers back to the entrance of the Wind Valley once again!

Although Juque called him Big Brother, it was just a familial title. Although he was annoyed, he wasn't so upset that he would lose his composure. The pack of wolves, despite losing twenty of their number, followed the law of natural selection and were not overly distressed. At Wang Xiong's request, they buried Ju Shou and the wolf corpses.

The Lady Qinghuan stood to one side, not daring to speak. However, she knew that Wang Xiong wouldn't kill her and curiously observed him.

Wang Xiong held the little tiger, watching as Juque and his group buried the bodies.

After the burial, Juque sniffed the air intensely.

"Sniff, sniff!"

While sniffing, his eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at the little tiger.

"Tiger core? Is this a living core? Senior, I don't know why, but I feel hungry just smelling it. Senior, could you give it to me?" Juque said, drooling.

"Whimper, whimper!"

The little tiger, terrified, shrank back into Wang Xiong's arms. Then, with a pitiful look, it gazed at Wang Xiong.

Wang Xiong affectionately stroked the little tiger's head and turned to Juque, saying, "Eat it? You can't handle it!"

"I can, I can. I know that every living core has swallowed countless treasures. Don't look at its small size; the energy inside can make me unable to bear it. But, Senior, how about just giving me a little tail to eat?" Juque flattered.

Wang Xiong looked at Juque and smiled coldly, "You didn't understand me! It should be a descendant of the Yehe family! Do you dare to eat it?"

"Yehe family? What does that have to do with eating it?" Juque asked, confused.

Juque didn't understand what the Yehe family was, but the little tiger suddenly let out a joyful "Woof!"

Wang Xiong looked at Juque, speechless. The Yehe family, the royal family of the tiger clan, with the Tiger Ancestor Yehe Fentian commanding all tigers in the world. Even in his prime, Wang Xiong didn't dare to claim he could surpass the Tiger Ancestor. Such a family, and Juque didn't know it? Wang Xiong had no intention of explaining further.

"Alright, just remember, if you dare to touch a single hair of his, the fate of General Leopard will be your example!" Wang Xiong said coldly.

General Leopard?

Thinking of the dried-up corpse of General Leopard, Juque shuddered, suppressing his hunger and said resentfully, "Yes, Senior!"

Wang Xiong looked at the fire-red little tiger with curiosity, "The energy inside you should have been filled by the lifetime essence of a Yehe family elder, right?"

"Whimper, whimper!" The little tiger, upon hearing Wang Xiong's words, seemed to recall something incredibly sad and suddenly started crying.

"Alright, stop crying. The blood energy is too intense for you to bear, causing it to overflow and spread a fragrance for miles, leading people to mistake it for a tiger core. Of course, you are now a tiger core. However, during the fusion, all your cultivation should have been burned away. With no cultivation, you dare to run around? Isn't your Yehe family afraid you'll be eaten?" Wang Xiong said with a smile.

"Whimper, whimper!" The little tiger remained deeply saddened.

"Alright, stop crying. Meeting me is a kind of fate. Stay by my side for now. When the opportunity arises, I'll hand you over to the Yehe family!" Wang Xiong patted the little tiger's head.

The little tiger, comforted by Wang Xiong's words, seemed to release all the fear and委屈 of the past few days, sobbing and trembling uncontrollably.

Wang Xiong patted the little tiger's head, not stopping its crying.

Lady Qinghuan, smelling the fragrance, though her mouth watered, looked at Wang Xiong with curiosity. Like Zhou Tianyin, she had only heard stories about Wang Xiong before, but now, seeing him in person, she realized that the rumors were far from the truth.

Wang Xiong turned and looked at the Wolf King.

The Wolf King immediately felt uneasy.

"Wolf King, I've observed you for some time. Although you were suppressed in front of me, you managed to gather so many Qi Sea Realm green wolves, using natural selection to establish the reputation of the Heavenly Wolf Valley. You have some talent, far surpassing the brute Juque!" Wang Xiong said, looking at the Wolf King.

The Wolf King lowered his head, "Woof, woof," not daring to accept Wang Xiong's praise, as Juque's eyes were already glaring.

"Senior, the Wolf King is only at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm. What's so great about him? Can he be better than me?" Juque said,不服.

"Ha, he's at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm, but he's smarter than you. At the third level, he has gathered five hundred subordinates at the first and second levels of the Qi Sea Realm. Can you do that?" Wang Xiong said sternly.

"I... but he's no match for me!" Juque said,不服.

"No match? That's just his cultivation. You're at the first level of the Martial Ancestor Realm. I'm sure if the Wolf King reaches the seventh level of the Qi Sea Realm, you won't be his match!" Wang Xiong said calmly.

"How is that possible!" Juque said, disbelieving.

"Don't doubt it. The Wolf King's strength isn't in his power but in his organizational skills. At the seventh level of the Qi Sea Realm, these green wolves will also be at the fifth and sixth levels. In a pack attack, you might not escape!" Wang Xiong said sternly.

"Just a bunch of rabble?"

"Rabble? Ha, no. The Wolf King commands them with precision. The wolf clan is a naturally pack-fighting race, and the Wolf King is a natural leader. Many human military formations and battle arrays are derived from wolf battles. This Wolf King is especially skilled! No wonder the valley they previously occupied was called Heavenly Wolf Valley. They must have fought countless battles to earn that name!" Wang Xiong said confidently.

Juque still had doubts.

"Back then, at the lake, didn't you say the Wolf King incited you to attack me? So, the Wolf King is smarter than you. At that time, you were held by me, and they were held by you. By provoking me, they could regain their freedom, right?" Wang Xiong looked at the Wolf King.

The Wolf King's face changed, and he immediately bowed to the ground.

"Fine, so you were using me!" Juque's eyes widened, ready to take it out on the Wolf King.

"Roar, roar, roar!"

The pack of wolves immediately stood up, glaring at Juque. Clearly, they were extremely loyal to the Wolf King, their loyalty surpassing their fear of Juque.

However, the Wolf King did not resist, seemingly understanding the situation and knowing that resistance would only lead to a quicker death.

"Stop!" Wang Xiong shouted coldly.

"Senior!" Juque felt uncomfortable.

Wang Xiong ignored Juque and looked at the Wolf King, "Wolf King, I now give you two choices!"

The Wolf King looked at Wang Xiong in confusion.

"First, I can set you free. You can leave with your pack now!" Wang Xiong said calmly.

"What? Senior, just let them go like that?" Juque was surprised.

The Wolf King also looked at Wang Xiong in surprise.

"Indeed. Bringing you along could help me clear small obstacles, but at the entrance of the Wind Valley, I fear no one. My need for you is less. Without you, my target is smaller, so I no longer need you as much!" Wang Xiong explained.

The Wolf King looked at the Wind Valley in confusion, not understanding why Wang Xiong was so confident.

"Your previous obedience is the price for your earlier offense. Now, I allow you to leave with your pack. I will not stop you!" Wang Xiong said.

The Wolf King stared at Wang Xiong intently.

"Second, I give you a chance to serve me. Serve me, and you will be my subordinate. I will protect and cultivate you. Of course, battles and deaths will be inevitable. How far you can go depends on your own destiny!" Wang Xiong said, looking at the Wolf King.

Juque looked at the Wolf King in surprise.

At this moment, the Wolf King must want to leave. When he incited Juque to offend Wang Xiong by the lake, he must have wanted to leave. Now, Wang Xiong was letting him go. Would he really not leave?

The pack of wolves all looked at the Wolf King, clearly showing that he was an exceptional leader, with the entire pack of Qi Sea Realm wolves following his commands.

The Wolf King wanted freedom, but he was also extremely intelligent. Although Wang Xiong had not shown much power, he had left a deep impression on the Wolf King over the past few days. The Wang Xiong before him seemed weak in cultivation but was mysteriously powerful. The terrifying aura from that day was still vivid in his memory. Previously, he only thought of escaping, but now, Wang Xiong was offering to cultivate him?

No one knew the hardships the Wolf King had endured over the years. The Heavenly Wolf Valley, do you think it was easy to earn that name? It was the result of countless life and death struggles.

Without guidance from elders, relying only on his own battles and insights, the Wolf King was uncertain if his luck would continue. For example, this time, if Juque had decided to exterminate the pack, he would have had no way to escape.

"Whimper, whimper, whimper!" The Wolf King suddenly knelt before Wang Xiong.

"Whimper, whimper, whimper!"

All the green wolves followed, kneeling down. The scene was spectacular.

Lady Qinghuan looked on in surprise. Were the wolves submitting to Wang Xiong, willing to follow him? Was Wang Xiong really going to take a group of wild beasts as subordinates?

Juque, however, was extremely confused. This was impossible! How could this happen?

"How, how? You actually don't want to leave?" Juque asked, surprised.

Wang Xiong stared at the Wolf King, who was prostrate, whimpering.

"Senior, the Wolf King says he is willing to submit, willing to...!" Juque translated the Wolf King's whimpers with a strange tone.

"I understand!" Wang Xiong said calmly.

"Ah?" Juque looked at Wang Xiong in surprise.

Senior understands animal language?

"Good, since you are willing to serve me, I will give you a name. I will call you 'Yujin'! As long as you serve me loyally, I will not hesitate to reward you!" Wang Xiong said sternly.

"Roar (Yes)!" The Wolf King's voice was firm.

Just as Wang Xiong nodded in satisfaction,

A surprised shout suddenly came, "Over there, that pack of tigers and wolves is over there! They have the tiger core!"

"Quick, send the signal. This time, we must not lose the tiger core, or we won't be able to explain to the sect leader!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" ...

Instantly, six fireworks shot into the sky, blooming with brilliant light. The light was so intense that it could be seen clearly from dozens of miles away.
