Ye Zhen interrogates Fox ZiBo, forcing him to reveal information about Black Cloud Great Sage's interest in Hu Qingtong's bloodline and an ancient treasure. Ye Zhen then uses a soul-searching technique and devours Fox ZiBo's cultivation, dramatically increasing his own power. He learns that Tu Zheng and Black Cloud Great Sage may be lying about Hu Qingtong's bloodline's purpose, leading him to suspect a more complex plot involving an ancient treasure.

This night, whether it was White Tiger City or White Tiger Mountain, both were very quiet.

Similar to every other night, there was basically no difference, except if one noticed those fleeting flashes of bloodstains hidden in the dark.

When the first ray of sunshine ushered White Tiger City out of darkness, Ye Zhen within the Mirage Dragon Pearl Space, who had just completely absorbed all the cultivation of a Demon Commander at the Eighth Stage of Realm King Realm, looked as if he had drunk too much, his face flushed, even his steps seemed unsteady.

Not only were his steps unsteady, Ye Zhen’s entire physique at the moment seemed swollen, his whole body had expanded a circle, making him appear incredibly bloated.

Ye Zhen smirked wryly to himself, he never thought there would be a day where he would turn into a big fat man due to absorbing too much spiritual power.

This night, Ye Zhen devoured the cultivation of seventeen Demon Commanders, their cultivation ranging from the Second to the Ninth Stage of Realm King Realm.

Consequently, Ye Zhen’s cultivation, after absorbing from Fox ZiBo, soared from the Second Stage of Realm King Realm to the Fifth Realm Peak, just one step away from the Sixth Stage of Realm King Realm.

The excessive spiritual power converted by the Little Demon led to Ye Zhen’s meridians swelling under the pressure, and his muscles and blood qi, containing a massive volume of spiritual power, made Ye Zhen’s physique double in width.

However, now was not yet a time for Ye Zhen to rest.

Ye Zhen was still within the range of White Tiger City and White Tiger Mountain. Who knows if the Tiger Clan had mysterious formations like the Fox Clan?

If trapped inside and captured like turtles in a jar, that would be disastrous.

Hence, Ye Zhen’s first priority now was to escape thousands of miles before anything happens.

With a thought, Ye Zhen had the Little Demon sprout countless roots, leaving numerous spies within White Tiger City and White Tiger Mountain. Then, with a move of his divine sense, his figure vanished into thin air.

Utilizing the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape to flee beyond White Tiger City, Ye Zhen immediately had the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten set off, and in just an hour, Ye Zhen was already thirty thousand miles away from White Tiger City.

Nevertheless, Ye Zhen did not stop and continued escaping until he was fifty thousand miles away from White Tiger City, finding a secluded place to hide.

The broader the formation, the weaker its power.

Just like the Fox Clan’s Ten Thousand Foxes Returning Heart Formation, the coverage was merely around ten thousand miles of Tu Mountain. If the Tiger Clan truly had a formation covering fifty thousand miles.

Then that formation would most likely be geared towards auxiliary benefits or large-scale damage, which Ye Zhen could handle calmly.

"Hey, brother, what happened last night?"

"Hmm, your aura?"

"You skyrocketed your cultivation to the Fifth Realm Peak in one night, are you trying to outdo us!" Ye Zhen returned to the Mirage Dragon Pearl Space allocated for Zhu Hong, Xuan Hu, and Sunx Ba to reside and heal, and barely had Sunx Ba expressed mild confusion when Zhu Hong exclaimed.

"If I talk about it, it’s related to my..."

Ye Zhen was just about to explain when Sunx Ba raised a hand, stopping Ye Zhen’s words.

"This is your secret, no need to explain to us, nor tell us! By the way, brother, you said you were going for revenge, how was the outcome last night?" Sunx Ba asked.

"Outcome?"

Ye Zhen’s lips curled into a cold smile.

"I can’t touch the Dao Realm experts under Black Cloud Great Sage right now; taking them down would cause too much commotion, killing one might attract a horde. But for the Demon Commanders below Dao Realm..."

While speaking, Ye Zhen wiped his hand, seventeen different heads appeared before Zhu Hong, Xuan Hu, and Sunx Ba.

"Hmm, seventeen Demon Commanders, should make Black Cloud Great Sage feel some pain, do you brothers feel relieved?"

"Seventeen Demon Commanders in one night?" Zhu Hong and Sunx Ba gasped.

"Relieved, relieved!"

Xuan Hu’s eyes sparkled sharply, "Pingman Demon Commander, Wanshi Demon Commander; these two are the most trusted Demon Commanders under Black Cloud Great Sage, said to have been with him for a thousand years.

Even you killed them, I’m afraid Black Cloud Great Sage... Heh!"

.....

At the same time, the fully brightened White Tiger City and White Tiger Mountain once again became bustling.

Within the residence of Black Cloud Great Sage, Black Cloud Great Sage was in his training ground, amplified tenfold in space, roaring like thunder.

Apart from their innate divine abilities, the Tiger Clan also pays great attention to physical training, unlike the Human Clan.

Even those in the Dao Realm among the Tiger Clan still greatly emphasize physical training.

An hour later, the muscles of Black Cloud Great Sage, which seemed to be made of refined steel, turned extremely red, the overwhelming training brought Black Cloud Great Sage’s physical body to its limit.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was drawn into his body by Black Cloud Great Sage, continuously tempering and strengthening his body to the utmost.

The slight progress brought a sense of inexplicable solace to Black Cloud Great Sage.

Power is the foundation in this world.

After another hour, Black Cloud Great Sage had his maid wipe his body clean after the training, put on a long robe, and casually glanced at the door of the training ground, his brows furrowing.

"Go ask why the Think Tank hasn’t come yet?"

Every day at three quarters past the Hour of Chen, Black Cloud Great Sage would take half an hour to deal with mundane matters, a habit learned from his father, Black Tiger King’s early practices.

After recruiting the Think Tank Fox ZiBo, Black Cloud Great Sage became much more relaxed, managing various matters more adeptly and reasonably.

His father even praised him in the fortnightly meeting last time, saying he had been handling things skillfully and making great progress recently.

This made Black Cloud Great Sage value the Think Tank Fox ZiBo even more, letting Fox ZiBo fully partake in many matters.

However, in these recent days of interaction, Fox ZiBo was highly punctual, arriving promptly before three quarters past the Hour of Chen, so they could start discussing matters as soon as he finished his training.

But today was strange; he was all set, yet Fox ZiBo hadn’t arrived, making Black Cloud Great Sage somewhat displeased.

Soon, the Guard Demon General who went to find Fox ZiBo returned to report that there was no one at the residence of the Think Tank.

However, the Think Tank’s butler said that the Think Tank returned in the first half of the night, went straight to his concubine’s chamber, but hasn’t gotten up today, and no one responded when knocking.

"Still sleeping soundly?" Black Cloud Great Sage’s expression became slightly unpleasant but quickly realized that even if sleeping deeply, there should be a response if someone knocks.

"Did you not check inside?" Black Cloud Great Sage asked.

"We dared not offend the Think Tank," the Guard Demon General replied.

"Go, take Pingman with you, go to the Think Tank’s bedroom and check! If he’s still lying in bed, tell him not to bother coming anymore."

A flash of dark energy crossed Black Cloud Great Sage’s face; he couldn’t use a Think Tank who indulged in pleasures at the expense of important affairs, regardless of his prowess.

"Yes!"

After issuing the order, Black Cloud Great Sage returned to the Flower Hall, ready to enjoy the meticulously prepared, incredibly massive breakfast.

But before he could eat, the Guard Demon General returned hastily, "Great Sage, Pingman Demon Commander cannot be reached!"

"Cannot be reached? What do you mean?" Black Cloud Great Sage’s brows furrowed again.

"The talisman communication shot into the sky, unable to find the direction of the Talisman Lead. I hurried to Pingman Demon Commander’s residence to deliver your message.

However, his family reported that Pingman Demon Commander is missing, and the whole family is frantically searching for him."

"Pingman Demon Commander is missing!"

Black Cloud Great Sage sneered; this sounded like a joke but was nothing funny.

His most trusted Commander vanished?

"Then find Wanshi, have Wanshi take some men to check on Think Tank Fox ZiBo and bring Pingman to me. Seems like too much time has passed, all have forgotten the rules." Black Cloud Great Sage ordered.

The coldness on Black Cloud Great Sage’s lips made the Guard Demon General shiver slightly and hurriedly turned to leave.

But not even a hundred breaths passed before the Guard Demon General returned in a panic, "Great Sage, not good, Wanshi Demon Commander also disappeared, his family is searching throughout the city!"

"What, Wanshi is also missing?"

Black Cloud Great Sage stood up suddenly; with the disappearance of three key figures consecutively, he realized, even if slow-witted, that something had definitely happened!
