Tiger King Ridge.

In front of Bodhi Cave, Jiang Che, who had just awakened from sleep, stood up and stretched lazily, feeling a sense of comfort throughout his body.

Then, Jiang Che took out the communication device, intending to check if there were any new messages.

Especially those concerning the Shushan Sword Sect.

Jiang Che initially thought that after killing the Shushan elder, the Shushan Sword Sect would be furious this time and would use various methods to trouble Tiger King Ridge to avenge the elder's death.

But to his surprise, despite his nerves being tense for several days, the Shushan Sword Sect showed not the slightest reaction.

Not to mention the group of Shushan Elders coming to attack Tiger King Ridge, not even a few Shushan disciples had shown up.

"Big brother, is the Shushan Sword Sect still silent?"

In Cyan Stone Pool, Nangong Luo, who had just awoken from cultivation, turned her head to see her older brother checking the communication device and asked.

"Nope, and I don't understand what's going on with the Shushan Sword Sect. There's still no movement!"

Jiang Che shook his head and said speechlessly.

He couldn't figure out what the Shushan Sword Sect was thinking. Their elder was dead, but they remained so indifferent?

Could it be they're trying to imitate the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, becoming cowardly, or perhaps planning something big?

Anyway, Jiang Che couldn't comprehend the Shushan Sword Sect's reasoning.

If it were his third sister killed by another faction, Jiang Che would surely be furious and immediately retaliate overnight, dealing a heavy blow to the enemy.

"Do you think they're afraid of you, big brother? Realizing you killed a Shushan elder effortlessly, so now they don't dare face you?"

Nangong Luo thought for a moment, then said with a chuckle.

She was joking, of course; she was aware of the true strength of the Shushan Sword Sect.

The Shushan Sword Sect would not be intimidated by her big brother simply because of an elder's death; it must be due to some unknown reason that has kept them quiet.

"How could that be? Is the Shushan Sword Sect really so weak?"

Jiang Che knew Nangong Luo was jesting and gave her a helpless glare.

"Haha, it's just a pity about the Purple and Cyan Twin Swords. If we had seized them at that time, Tiger King Ridge's power would have greatly increased."

At this moment, Nangong Luo recalled the Shushan treasure, the Purple and Cyan Twin Swords, with a face full of regret.

Watching them fly away was a heartache for Nangong Luo, in her eyes, the Purple and Cyan Twin Swords were already in their grasp.

"There was no way. Who could have guessed the Shushan elder would be so fierce, self-detonating immediately when seeing he couldn't win!"

Jiang Che shook his head helplessly.

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have mentioned capturing the Purple and Cyan Twin Swords then. This inadvertently made the opponent realize the risk of losing the Purple and Cyan Twin Swords and solidified his decision to self-detonate.

Of course, Jiang Che felt regret, but he didn't particularly crave the Purple and Cyan Twin Swords.

After all, Tiger King Ridge currently possesses many Spirit Treasures; not only him, but his second and third brothers have Spirit Treasures by their side too.

He himself has the Donghuang Bell and the Sky-Splitting Halberd; his second brother has a self-made Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and Nangong Luo wields the Nine Illusion Immortal Bell. Adding one more Purple and Cyan Twin Sword, in Jiang Che's view, would just be icing on the cake.

While Jiang Che and Nangong Luo were conversing, Fang Yuan, who was teaching the essence technique to little Zi, had a slight change in gaze.

"No movement for such a long time suggests the Shushan Sword Sect doesn't want to take the lead!"

Fang Yuan thought secretly in his heart.

He felt relieved, thinking joining Tiger King Ridge was definitely a wise choice.

These ancient forces are overwhelmingly strong, and only with the backing of the big boss could he remain unharmed after provoking them.

However, turning his thoughts, he felt slightly disappointed, initially thinking he might devour a few Shushan elders to replenish his body, which turned out to be unfeasible.

Each Shushan elder possesses formidable strength, with blood qi likely on par with the previous Elder Red Sparrow of the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall.

If he could devour a few, his cultivation might suddenly leap to the seventh rank.

Hearing Fang Yuan's thoughts, Jiang Che, who was speaking with Nangong Luo, glanced at him speechlessly.

"This second brother of mine truly fears nothing; for a bite to eat, he's willing to risk his life."

The strength of the Shushan Sword Sect is not to be underestimated. Once they decide and launch a full-scale attack on Tiger King Ridge, it won't be a laughing matter.

By then, even if he can hold back the Shushan elders' assault, he might not be able to tend to Nangong Luo and his second brother.

Facing Shushan elders with cultivation at the eighth rank, his second brother's current strength is still inadequate.

"Big brother, what should we do at Tiger King Ridge now? Should we lift the alert?"

Nangong Luo looked at Jiang Che and asked.

Due to fear of Shushan Sword Sect's retaliation, Jiang Che personally ordered the entire Tiger King Ridge to enter alert status, with weaker demon soldiers hiding in underground shelters.

Other powerful demon soldiers patrolled Tiger King Ridge day and night under demon generals, not sparing any intruders attempting to infiltrate.

Thus, a tense few days passed, and it's likely that the demon generals and soldiers below are utterly exhausted.

"Alright, lift the alert! Have Tiger Vanguard and their demon soldiers return to their territories to rest."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che nodded; given the current situation, it's unlikely the Shushan Sword Sect will seek revenge on Tiger King Ridge soon. It's indeed time for the weary demon soldiers to rest.

"Okay, I will..."

Nangong Luo nodded, but before she could finish, shouts from outside the valley interrupted her.

"Something bad has happened, something bad! Three great kings, there's trouble!"

"Is it Vajra?"

Jiang Che and Nangong Luo both recognized the voice.

They didn't know what had happened to make Vajra Giant Ape so anxious.

"Big brother, open the array and let Vajra in! Something significant must have occurred!"

Beside them, Fang Yuan frowned and suggested to Jiang Che.

Fang Yuan was well-versed in situations like this; whenever Vajra shouted and yelled, something unpleasant was going on.

Jiang Che nodded and opened a gap in the array.

Seeing the array open, the Vajra Giant Ape hurriedly rushed inside.

"Three great kings, something big has happened! There's chaos inside Tiger King Ridge; many demon soldiers have suddenly become frenzied, losing clarity and attacking other demon soldiers recklessly, causing numerous casualties... These demon soldiers seem as if their souls were invaded by demonic qi!"

Rushing up to Jiang Che and his companions, Vajra Giant Ape wasted no time, urgently reporting the events.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che, Nangong Luo, and Fang Yuan's expressions changed collectively.
