The Quest for Immortality Chapter 2597: Tiger’s Prowl (part 2)

At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of the words the Pavilion Elder said before leaving.

Only now did he realize, the position of "Pavilion Elder" is not something easily attained.

And the Pavilion Elder, who appears old, dozing off every day, muddle-headed, is truly unfathomable.

Supervisor even suspected in his heart that the Pavilion Elder had anticipated the current situation, which is why he deliberately went against the Taoist Court’s high-level intentions regarding the Qianxue State boundary.

Even later, at the Seven Pavilion Conference, when he was framed and targeted by his family’s ancestor, he didn’t retaliate.

Ultimately "failed" and retreated, retired in seclusion, thereby protecting himself and avoiding the fiery pit that is the Great Wilderness.

The Pavilion Elder’s turbid eyes, like an abyss, surfaced in his mind again.

Supervisor only felt his scalp numb, and after a moment, he sighed deeply and slowly said:

"No wonder... during the struggle for Pavilion Elder back then, our Hua family’s ancestor couldn’t compete with his elder..."

The Supervisor remained silent.

After a moment, he asked, "What’s the movement from the Taoist soldiers Court?"

Si Zheng’s voice was even more subdued:

"The war has been lost, the Taoist Court has lost its prestige, and the Taoist Monarch is furious, resulting in the Great Directors of the Taoist soldiers Court being reprimanded. For the Taoist soldiers Court, this is a great shame. Therefore, the Taoist soldiers Court will not hold back this time."

"Some recruitment orders have even been sent to the major aristocratic families."

"The Taoist soldiers Court intends to regroup the Taoist Soldiers, and with thunderous power, suppress the Great Wilderness, and completely eradicate the kings and the puppet Imperial Family of the Great Wilderness to prevent future troubles."

"To use the blood of the Great Wilderness Barbarian Clan to commemorate the fallen soldiers."

The Supervisor nodded slowly, his expression even more solemn.

He knew that in this way, the chessboard would grow larger, but it also meant the situation would become more chaotic.

If he doesn’t manage the board well, he can’t answer to the Hua family’s ancestor, or to the Heaven Shu Pavilion, or to the Taoist Court.

Then his position as "acting Pavilion Elder" could only be replaced.

Here in Taoist State, the Great Family and Ancient Clans have a long history, and talents are as numerous as the carp crossing the river, countless.

Some things, if you don’t do, others will.

If you can’t, others can.

Just...

The Supervisor looked at the chaotic sand table in front of him, piles of Jade Slips and documents, thinking of the current bloodstained and turbulent situation in the Great Wilderness, couldn’t help but wonder:

Besides characters like the Pavilion Elder, in this situation... is there really anyone who can manage?

Is there really anyone who can strategize in such a chaotic situation in the Great Wilderness and thrive?

...

In the Great Wilderness, at a certain Solitary Mountain.

In the evening, the sunset was like fire.

Mo Hua also lit a fire, roasting meat to eat.

The meat was from a Monster Beast that looked like a wolf, with antlers, and slightly like a goat.

Although Mo Hua is a Monster Hunter, he had never hunted monsters in the Great Wilderness, not familiar with the varieties of Monster Beasts in the Great Wilderness, so he didn’t know what kind of monster this was.

He could only judge by habits that it was a herbivorous Monster Beast.

The Great Wilderness is desolate, rarely visited by people, if this Monster Beast were carnivorous or fed on humans, it would have starved to death early, nowhere near surviving until now.

And this Monster Beast was only at the early Second Grade, not very powerful.

The Big Tiger chased, pounced, bit, and within a few rounds, hunted it down.

Mo Hua then used a Formation to start a fire and roast the monster meat.

The Big Tiger was holding a bloody monster beast leg, gnawing on it beside him.

It had been trapped in the Great Wilderness Sect’s camp for days, fighting its way out amid a mutiny, consuming too much energy, and was really starving, so naturally, with flesh to eat now, it couldn’t help but feast.

Nibbling away, the Big Tiger suddenly sniffed, turned to look at Mo Hua.

At this time, Mo Hua’s meat was also done, with spices added, the spicy seasoning and the aroma of grilled meat mixed, making the scent rich.

Mo Hua was carefully cutting and eating with a knife.

The Big Tiger looked at Mo Hua blankly, of course, mainly looking at the roasted meat, with big copper bell-sized eyes full of curiosity.

Seeing this, Mo Hua cut a large piece of roasted meat and threw it to the Big Tiger.

The Big Tiger happily "woofed" once, caught the roasted meat in its mouth, chewed a few times, then swallowed it.

After eating, the Big Tiger smacked its lips, very satisfied.

Then it continued gnawing on its bloody raw monster meat.

But as it gnawed, it suddenly felt the meat in its mouth didn’t taste as good, at least not as good as Mo Hua’s.

The Big Tiger then leaned over, looked at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua had no choice but to give it another piece.

The Big Tiger ate it, licked its mouth, and looked down at the bloody raw meat in its paw, feeling it was even more tasteless.

Thinking for a moment, it pushed the half-eaten monster beast leg meat towards Mo Hua.

It seemed to want Mo Hua to roast it too.

Mo Hua met the Big Tiger’s pair of clear big eyes, really had no choice, took it, sprinkled spices, patiently roasted it for the tiger.

He inherited his mother’s, Liu Ruhua’s, culinary skills, and had always been good at preparing meals, carrying various spices with him.

When traveling with his master back then, he was in charge of the meals.

Later, when he reached the Qian Learning State Boundary and joined the Taixu Gate, having plenty to eat and drink, he hadn’t needed to cook for a long time.

Now in the vast and sparsely populated Great Wilderness, alone, he naturally had to roast meat for himself.

He just didn’t expect that one day, he’d have to roast meat for the Big Tiger...

But speaking of which, this Big Tiger is indeed peculiar.

Unlike other carnivorous Monster Beasts that eat people, it doesn’t.
