Wang Hong had been staying in Qianqiao City for two years. During this time, he frequently visited various major shops and attended auctions.
Although he hadn't found a single required Spiritual Herb, he had acquired many rare Spiritual Objects.
In his guest room, Wang Hong was calculating the various materials in his hands, thinking that he should be able to refine over a dozen Magic weapons when he returned.
At that moment, Gan Tao, disguised as a shop assistant, sought an audience.
"Sir, this morning, a powerful rainbow light flew out from the Winged Tiger Clan and headed east. It is suspected that the leader of the Winged Tiger Clan has left," Gan Tao reported.
"Good! Is there any more specific information?" Wang Hong had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, but he still wasn't entirely sure and needed more detailed information.
"They were too far away at the time, so they couldn't see clearly. However, judging from the pressure it emitted, it should be a four-tier Demonic Beast."
The Winged Tiger Clan in East Zhou only had one four-tier Demonic Beast, and the intelligence personnel there were at most at the Golden Core Stage, making it very difficult to get a clear look at the appearance of a four-tier Demonic Beast.
"Very well, you may leave," Wang Hong said.
Receiving this information, Wang Hong still felt it wasn't secure enough and decided he should investigate further.
Coincidentally, a few days earlier, Hu Qiang had entrusted him to refine a furnace of Pills, so now was the perfect opportunity to gauge the situation.
In the Winged Tiger Tower, Wang Hong once again met Hu Qiang.
"Fellow Daoist Tiger, the Pills you requested have been successfully refined. Living up to Fellow Daoist's high expectations, I have produced two Pills," Wang Hong said.
Hu Qiang took the pill bottle and poured out two Pills, expressing great joy, "Fellow Daoist is truly a genius Alchemist of our Demon Clan, achieving a twenty percent Pill Success Rate! Remarkable!"
Hu Qiang then took out one of the Pills and handed it to Wang Hong, saying, "This is the reward Fellow Daoist deserves."
In the Demon Clan, there were very few Demonic Beasts capable of Alchemy, and Alchemists who could reach the third tier were extremely rare, with generally low Pill Success Rates. Someone like Wang Hong, who could produce ten Pills from one furnace of materials, was already among the best.
Hu Qiang couldn't imagine that Wang Hong had produced eight Pills from one furnace.
"I feel a deep connection with Fellow Daoist, and there's no need for any reward for refining Pills for Fellow Daoist. Please, take it back," Wang Hong firmly declined the offered Pill.
"Since Fellow Daoist is so polite, I won't insist. If Fellow Daoist needs any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!" Hu Qiang assured him loudly.
"In that case, there is indeed one thing I would like to ask of you," Wang Hong said.
"What is it? Please, tell me," Hu Qiang replied.
"I greatly admire your clan's patriarch and would like to pay my respects, but my humble status makes it difficult. I hope Fellow Daoist can introduce me," Wang Hong humbly requested.
After hearing this, Hu Qiang hesitated for a moment before saying, "This request is not difficult, but it won't be possible for at least another half month."
Wang Hong looked puzzled and asked, "Why is that?"
"To be honest, our patriarch has just left on a long journey and won't be back for at least half a month," Hu Qiang explained.
"In that case, I will come back in half a month. I will trouble Fellow Daoist then," Wang Hong said.
After gathering this information, Wang Hong left the Winged Tiger Tower.
Next, he planned to infiltrate the territory of the Winged Tiger Clan. Since the Demon Clan refused to sell, he would take matters into his own hands.
The reason he waited for the Winged Tiger Clan's patriarch to leave before taking action wasn't out of fear of the patriarch, but rather because his disguise would be exposed if he encountered the patriarch. Currently, the only remaining force of the Human Clan in East Zhou was the Great Chu Immortal Nation, and it would be easy to guess that it was his doing.
The Great Chu Immortal Nation had finally gained a respite and didn't want it to be disrupted. For this reason, he was willing to spend more time here.
Upon returning to the inn where he was staying, he summoned Gan Tao to his room.
"I am going to do something this time, and my identity may be exposed. You should be prepared in advance, it's best to leave this inn."
Wang Hong, even if his identity is not exposed this time, the Demon Clan will definitely trace this shop. Under such implications, who would care about the life and death of such a small inn?
"Do you need us to arrange for someone to meet you, sir?"
"No need for that. Your task is to stay hidden and gather intelligence. You've worked hard these past two years. I still have a few bottles of Pills here. Take them and divide them among yourselves."
"Thank you, sir!"
Gan Tao took the Pills. He had gained many benefits from working with Wang Hong during this time. He hadn't expected to part ways so soon and felt a bit reluctant.
This superior was gentle and warm, like spring, never using his power to oppress others, making people enjoy working by his side.
After making some arrangements for his subordinates, Wang Hong packed up and left Qianqiao City alone.
The territory of the Winged Tiger Clan was a mountain range not far from Qianqiao City, the former residence of the Thousand Crafts Pavilion, now owned by the Winged Tiger Clan.
Wang Hong arrived at the outskirts of the Winged Tiger Clan's territory in just two hours.
There was a large defensive formation guarding this place, but such a large formation consumed a huge amount of Spirit Stones every day it was active. Therefore, in the absence of a large-scale war, this large formation would not be fully activated. Usually, only some early warning formations would be activated, and its defensive capabilities were not very strong.
Wang Hong concealed his figure and quietly circled around the large formation, finding a remote spot where the formation was weak and suitable for attack.
He summoned his two Flying Swords, forming the Tai Chi Sword Formation. The blue and red lights shot onto the formation, and the defensive large formation visibly disintegrated at a rapid speed.
The large formation, under attack, quickly emitted a strong Spiritual Energy fluctuation from this point, spreading far and wide, attracting the attention of the Demonic Beasts patrolling the territory.
When the Tai Chi Sword Formation had disintegrated the formation by more than a foot wide, Wang Hong retracted his Flying Swords and swiftly slipped inside. Just as he entered the formation, he saw a three-tier Winged Tiger leading more than ten Demonic Beasts charging towards him.
Wang Hong took out a wooden stick and met the charging Demonic Beasts head-on with pure physical strength, smashing one of them with a single blow.
With Wang Hong's Body Refining strength, a three-tier Demonic Beast had no chance to fight back. He then rushed into the group of beasts, smashing each one to death and picking up a few demon cores along the way.
In the blink of an eye, the large hole that had opened in the formation had disappeared.
He concealed his figure again and left the area. When the Winged Tiger Clan discovered the attack and a large number of Demonic Beasts rushed to the scene, all they found was a ground covered in flesh, with no trace of the assailant.
They could only issue a warning and dispatch a large number of Demonic Beasts to patrol the area.
As a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Wang Hong knew that these Demonic Beasts, with a maximum tier of three, were no match for him in terms of detecting his presence.
He then captured one of the Demonic Beasts and interrogated it in a hidden place. The range within the Large Formation was extremely wide, and he was not familiar with it, so he needed a map to be convenient.
While interrogating, he drew a map and finally killed the Demonic Beast after gaining some understanding, storing it in his Space.
Afraid of any mistakes, he captured another Demonic Beast and verified the information before feeling satisfied.
"Thanks to the lone night angler for the reward!"
