The forest was quiet. The moonlight shone through the leaves on the ground, speckling it.

A large pile of leaves exposed where Han Yan was, but he had gone somewhere.

Time slowly passed, about an incense stick of time. Suddenly, a light sound came from behind the ancient tree. Then, with another light sound, a grey shadow suddenly flashed, drawing a curve in the air before slowly landing on the pile of leaves. If one looked closely, they would see that the grey shadow was actually a small kitten that was only half a foot long. The kitten's body was gray, and its purple eyes constantly scanned its surroundings, exuding an indescribably bewitching aura.

Not only that, there were two small dragon-like horns on the kitten's head. These horns were also purple, exquisite and cute. Then, looking at its claws, it was actually not five, but nine. From this extraordinary kitten, it could be seen that this was no ordinary beast. Instead, it was a monstrous beast. "Such a bizarre appearance is definitely not an ordinary demonic beast, or even an ancient beast.

Although ancient beast and prehistoric beast were both Demonic Beast, they were different from the current Demonic Beast. The bodies of the ancient beast were strange, most of them were mixed. What is mixed blood is the bloodline of other Demonic Beast s in their bodies, and even the bloodline of ancient beasts. It was precisely because of this, that these ancient beast were able to unleash even more abilities, greatly increasing their own fighting strength. And the most obvious characteristic of prehistoric beast was their strong bodies, tough skin and thick flesh, and super strong defensive power. Taoist at the same level were not their match at all.

The gray kitten carefully sniffed the ground and scratched the ground twice. Just as it was about to raise its head to look at the trees beside it, a stream of light flashed by and a few figures appeared. It was not hard to tell that Taoist had come. Looking at the number of light streams, there were at least ten people. Faintly hearing it, someone shouted: "Everyone, search carefully, don't think that the Nine-clawed dragon cat has escaped."

"Li Ming, don't worry!" A female cultivator said confidently, "The area of 10 miles around is filled with our people, and they've already set up an inescapable net. No matter how well that Nine-Clawed Spirit Cat hides, no matter how fast it's dodging, it shouldn't be able to escape from our encirclement."

Those cultivators lined up in a straight line and quickly searched over. Just as they were about to arrive at the place where the Nine-clawed dragon cat was. A trace of fear flashed through the Nine-clawed dragon cat's eyes. Then, with a leap, it directly jumped towards a nearby Archaeopterygium. Just as its body flew into the air, it saw a man dressed in black standing on the tree branch it landed on. It was the Han Yan who had strangely disappeared earlier.

The Nine-clawed dragon cat opened its mouth like a human and its eyes were filled with surprise. However, its body was already flying, and it was unable to turn back midway, so it could only bite the bullet and fly over. At the same time as it flew, it raised both claws and pointed it at Han Yan. Opening its nine claws, it revealed its sharp claws. The Nine-clawed dragon cat was ready to fight. If Han Yan wanted to fight, it would kill him at any cost.

Han Yan had long seen the cultivators who were rushing over to find him, and in a moment, he understood the whole story. He discovered that its body had spiritual energy fluctuations that were not weaker than his own. If he fought, it was very likely to be injured by the opponent. Even if the two didn't injure each other, once the battle began, the cultivators would definitely realize that even if they won, they might not necessarily let him go.

Thinking about it, Han Yan exposed a kind smile towards the Nine-clawed dragon cat that was flying over.

Seeing this smile, the Nine-clawed dragon cat was slightly startled, then immediately broke out into a smile, looking quite cute.

With a flash of gray light in the air, the Dragon Cat landed in Han Yan's embrace. It did not leave, but hid its aura.

Han Yan hugged a little kitten in his arms, feeling extremely depressed. He wanted to throw it away but was unable to, so he could only hug it.

At sunset, after Han Yan unleashed his gale technique, he placed the Stealth Glyph he had obtained from Jiang Min's storage bag onto his body. Then, using the wind to sweep away the fallen leaves, he jumped onto a tree. He stayed on the tree for too long, so when the Nine-clawed dragon cat appeared, the effects of the Stealth Glyph had already disappeared.

On the ground, a figure quickly approached and arrived in front of the pile of fallen leaves in a short moment.

The leading middle-aged man was Li Ming. He was around twenty years old, had extraordinary looks, sharp eyebrows, and a green small sword floating in front of him. From his attire and the blue robe he wore, it was obvious that he was a rogue cultivator. His cultivation had reached the 9th level of the Refinement Stage. Among rogue cultivators, his cultivation could be considered an expert.

Li Ming walked up to the pile of fallen leaves and suddenly stopped, saying in a serious tone: "Wait a moment."

Han Yan secretly cursed, but at the moment, there was nothing he could do, he could only mutter the words cryptography, hoping that no one would notice him.

Li Ming called out, causing everyone to stop one after another. The lady in red who spoke earlier walked over, and asked: "What happened?"

"Look at the ground?" He frowned and said.

Everyone turned to look and smiled. The woman in red said, "What's so strange about that? Whirlwinds often arise in the forest. I've seen a pile of leaves like this more than once."

Li Ming shook his head and grabbed a handful of fallen leaves from the ground. He said with certainty, "No, the pile of fallen leaves blown away by the wind does not look like this. As you can see, the leaves are very close together, and only powerful spells can form them. If my guess is correct, two hours ago, someone used the gale technique here, and the cultivation of the cultivator who used it was not inferior to mine. "

Everyone was startled, they knew Li Ming's cultivation level was high, if the opponent was as he said, then he was also an expert.

The woman in red said, "Could it be that there are other rogue cultivators here?"

Li Ming sighed, and said slowly: "I don't know either, but if it was a disciple from the sect, there definitely wouldn't be just one. If it was a rogue cultivator, it would not make sense for a single person to be here. In any case, we should still be more careful. " He waved his hand and said to the rest of them, "Let's go! "Maybe that person has already gone far away."

Everyone nodded and continued to search forward. Han Yan and the Nine-clawed dragon cat on the tree trunk sighed a breath of relief.

As the lady in red searched forward, she asked, "Do you guys think that rogue cultivator would also come for the Nine-clawed dragon cat? He even found it and caused a fierce battle to occur here?"

It was originally a casual sentence, but when it landed in Li Ming's ears, it was like a bolt of thunder from a clear sky.

The lady in red was puzzled, and asked unhappily: "Li Ming, what are you trying to do? "One moment walking, the next moment stopping. Can you not be so shocked?"

Li Ming was not angered by the other party's words. A sharp light flashed in his eyes and he said: "You're right, that person was probably after the Nine-clawed dragon cat as well."

The woman in red gawked, then stuck out her tongue and awkwardly said: "I was just casually saying that just now, don't take it as the truth."

Li Ming said solemnly: "In order to capture the Nine-clawed dragon cat this time, we have gathered all of our brothers, there are no failures allowed." He suddenly turned around and walked up to the pile of fallen leaves. He carefully examined it for a while, then raised his head and looked at the tree. The Archaeopterygium's branches were lush and the leaves were luxuriant. Even if it were to hide a normal person, it would still be difficult to discover, much less a cultivator.

Everyone saw through Li Ming's intention, and one of them said: "Li Ming, you don't want to search around one tree after another right?"

Another person added: "When we came here earlier, we searched all the surrounding trees, but there was no scent of the Nine-clawed dragon cat at all. We only left a scent on its body, and even if it was hiding in the tree, we would still be able to find it."

Li Ming sighed, and said: "I understand everything you guys have said, but if someone captures him and uses his presence to cover up the Dragon Cat's presence, will we be able to discover him?"

The faces of everyone present sank as they frowned. The woman in red asked, "What should we do?"

Li Ming thought for a while, then said to the rest of them: "Search the area again, if we meet any other cultivators, you know what to do!"

Everyone nodded their heads. With a flash, they leaped up the trees in the surroundings.

Seeing that everyone was on the Archaeopterygium and started to search carefully, Han Yan wanted to throw down the octopus dragon cat in his hand. Although this Spirit Cat was a pretty good Demonic Beast, after being domesticated for a few years, it could also become a good fighting partner. However, at this moment, those people were searching with all their might. Could he dodge their search?

The dragon cat in his arms seemed to have also sensed Han Yan's thoughts, and firmly grabbed onto Han Yan's clothes, not letting him throw it down.

Sensing the change in the Dragon Cat, Han Yan felt a little upset. If he really threw it down, it would definitely be caught by the others, and the consequences would be unimaginable. If he didn't throw it down, it would definitely be discovered and would implicate him. Han Yan hesitated, but just as he was hesitating, a rogue cultivator flew over and went straight for the big tree.

The rogue cultivator was casually searching and didn't expect there to be people on the tree, but the moment he got close to the tree, he felt a very weak aura. If he wasn't too close, he wouldn't have noticed it at all. Even after the rogue cultivator discovered the aura, he still couldn't confirm it. His figure flashed, and he flew towards the tree trunk where the aura was.

The tree was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. The rogue cultivator took out his magic tool and suddenly flew away.

Suddenly, a figure flew past the magical artifact and headed straight for the rogue cultivator. It was shockingly fast, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye. The rogue cultivator cried out in alarm. Before he could even react, he felt a strong gust of wind, and then his body was blown down from the sky, heavily crashing into the ground. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

This shout startled the surrounding people, causing Li Ming and the rest to flash past, and arrived in front of the rogue cultivator, then a burst of energy was poured into his back. After his Innate Qi entered his body, his pale white complexion looked better. He slowly woke up, and Li Ming hurriedly asked: "Peng Long, what happened?"

Peng Long was just about to speak when he spat out a mouthful of blood. He endured the waves of pain coming from his body and gritted his teeth. "There's a cultivator on the tree ?" Just as he finished speaking, his head tilted to the side and he fainted.

Li Ming's face darkened and immediately released his divine sense, sensing around frantically. When he sensed a cultivator carrying a Dragon Cat quickly flying towards the west, he shouted angrily, "Chase after him! That person is running away!" His figure flashed and chased after Han Yan. At the same time, he took out a red Glyph from his storage bag and threw it into the air. The sigil flew high up in the sky and started to burn on its own. Finally, it turned into a half-human-sized character ? Fire!

These symbols were the signal talismans. After they were used, they would transform into countless words, such as chase, kill, scatter, and so on.

Every word had a meaning. For example, the word "chase" meant that the Demonic Beast had run away and everyone had given up on searching, chasing after the place where the runes were issued. As for killing, that meant they would encounter a powerful Demonic Beast, killing them and requesting for their help. As for the words "Scatter", it was actually to tell everyone that the Demonic Beast was too strong, and they had to run for their lives!

The word 'chase' flashed across the air. Countless streams of light flashed across the radius of ten miles, quickly gathering over here. Judging from the number of flowing lights, there were at least a hundred rogue cultivators. These rogue cultivators' cultivation levels weren't high; most of them were around the 3rd or 4th level of the Qi Cultivating Stage. However, there were experts among them whose cultivation levels were at the 7th or 8th level of the Qi Cultivating Stage. If so many cultivators attacked at the same time, even if Han Yan didn't die, he would at least lose a layer of skin.

Han Yan secretly cursed, then suddenly increased his speed and flew deeper into the forest.
