nLight flashed.

nWhen the group of nine appeared again, they were already at the square near the mountain gate.

nThe light chasing thunder tiger was already waiting here under Fang Yuan’s instructions, lying in a corner, yawning while basking in the warm sun.

nMany disciples at the side stopped to watch. They were very curious about this harmless great demon beast.

nSome of the team members also noticed this, and they could not help but ask curiously. “There are disciples in the outer sect that can control demon beasts? Plus it is a dual element demon beast that can be compared

nto an Enlightenment Realm Gu master, is it even real?”

nAnother person shook his head. “Maybe it was tamed by an elder, even among the younger generation of our inner sect disciples, there are very few who can defeat such a demon beast, let alone taming it, how strong

nwould they have to be?”

n“That’s true.”

nA delicate female disciple blinked her eyes and asked curiously, “Senior Gu, do you have a way to tame it?”

nGu Tianqing’s expression froze. “This…” This demon beast’s aura was definitely not weaker than a fourth layer Enlightenment Realm Gu master. Using its physical advantage to resist a fifth layer Gu master was not

ndifficult, not to mention it had wind and lightning elements surrounding it… Most likely, ordinary sixth layer Enlightenment Realm Gu masters are not its match.”

nHearing this, some people could not help but feel worried.

n“Even Senior Gu can’t defeat it, what if we meet such a powerful demon beast on the way?”

n“That’s right, Senior Gu is the strongest among the younger generation, and Senior Wan is not in the team. If we delay our journey and can’t participate in the Gu Dao convention, the sect will definitely blame us.”

nFang Yuan raised his eyebrows.

nSo Gu Tianqing was the other person who was called one of the three experts among the younger generation, along with Wan Qian and Zhang Wenbin.

nAnd he was the strongest one.

no wonder he did not like him.

nf it was not for him, the position of team leader would probably belong to Gu Tianqing, right?

nYes!

nit was not far from the truth!

nGu Tianqing, who was at the side, smiled and said, “If we take the official path, the risk will be lower, but the specific arrangements will still depend on team leader’s orders. After all, he will be in charge of this trip.”

nnstantly, everyone’s gaze fell on Fang Yuan.

nFang Yuan smiled faintly. How could he not see through the intentions of this group of people?

nThese words were clearly saying, ‘If you, the leader, can’t deal with such a powerful demon beast, then why are you still the leader?’

nMoreover, this Gu Tianqing was very scheming. With a single sentence, he pushed the responsibility onto him alone.

nHe made it clear that if they could not deal with the demon beasts and their journey was delayed, the responsibility would lie on Fang Yuan, and have nothing to do with them.

nIt seemed that these people were not convinced by him.

nNow, they were waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

nFang Yuan did not say much. He whistled.

nFollowing that, the light chasing thunder tiger quickly stood up and ran towards Fang Yuan.

nThe expressions of several teammates changed slightly.

n“Not good, the whistle has stimulated the demon beast!”

nAt once, over ten Gu worms flew out and floated in front of the disciples.

n“Don’t be nervous.”

nFang Yuan jumped and landed on the tiger’s back, “This is my beast pet, this trip will be much faster with it pulling the carriage… Idiot, why did you run?”

nSaying that, he slapped the tiger’s head, and the light chasing thunder tiger whimpered and quickly stopped its body.

nThis obedient attitude shocked the group, especially Gu Tianqing, whose expression was very unsightly.

nThis feeling was like Fang Yuan was pointing at a very precious thing and sharing it with a friend, saying how good it was, how powerful it was, just wanting to use it to show off.

nIn the end, this thing was actually owned by Fang Yuan himself.

nIt was too shameful!

nBut he couldn’t pull down his face in front of so many people. His thoughts slightly shifted, and he thought of an excuse.

n“This is very good. It seems that the sect master has long thought of a way for us to travel. He specially helped the leader, Senior Fang, capture this demon beast. Presumably, this trip to the capital won’t take much

ntime.”

nEveryone immediately felt that it made sense and agreed.

n“So it was the sect master’s preparations. I say, Senior Fang is only at the fifth layer of the Enlightenment Realm. How could he possibly subdue a demon beast of this level?”

n“This should be some kind of Gu worm that has a restriction set in its body. If it were to devour its master, it would die on the spot, no matter how strong it is, it would not dare to act rashly.”

nFang Yuan narrowed his eyes, not explaining too much.

nThis group of people already had a preconceived idea that he could not do it, that his strength was not enough, so no matter how he explained, it would still be futile.

nChanging the minds of others was a very difficult thing, and Fang Yuan had no interest in doing it.

nHowever…

nAt this rate, it was basically impossible for him to lead them.

nThe only one who did not intervene in the conversation was Gu Yuange. However, she was Gu Tianqing’s sister, so she could not stand on his side.

nIsolated and helpless!

nFang Yuan could use these words to describe his situation.

nHowever, he was not discouraged by it.

nThings that were challenging were more interesting to do.

nImmediately, he got everyone to bring the light chasing thunder tiger down the mountain and buy two carriages from the nearest town.

nThis time, they did not take the opportunity to cause trouble, and did as they were told.

nAfter all, they were still in the Gu Immortal Sect’s territory. Who knows, Gu Zhenren might be watching them with divine abilities, so they naturally had to listen to this leader.

nFang Yuan went to the scripture depository and copied all the books on Vital Gu.

next, he used phantom steps and rushed to where they were.

nEveryone was very efficient. They had already bought the carriage and tied it to the light chasing thunder tiger.

nThe two carriages were connected and weighed half a ton.

nBut with the physique of a demon beast, it was easy to pull them.

nFour men and four women got into the carriages.

nWhen Fang Yuan was about to get in, he realized that there were no empty seats at all.

nGu Tianqing cupped his fists and said in a seemingly embarrassed manner, “Senior Fang, there are only four carriages in this town. We can’t control that demon beast, so we can only let you be the driver.”

nThe other three male disciples smiled knowingly and looked like they were watching a show.

nFang Yuan glanced around and saw an item in the carriage store. Then, he smiled as well.

n“It doesn’t matter. The light chasing thunder tiger has a high level of intelligence. Just let it move on its own. It just so happens that I’m going into closed-door cultivation, so it’s not convenient for me to be with you.”

nWith that, he walked into the carriage store and chatted with the shop owner for a while. Then, he bought a huge shelf and put it on the light chasing thunder tiger.

nAfter some assembly by the shop assistant, a small room was soon created on the back of the tiger.

nFang Yuan stepped into it. It was very spacious, and with the size of the light chasing thunder tiger, there was more than enough room to lie horizontally.

nUnder everyone’s gaze, he even threw a consumable-type Condensing Origin Gu into it, and it could absorb the nearby spirit essence and facilitate cultivation.

nThis condition was much better than the carriages behind him.

n“Let’s go!”

nFang Yuan gave the order, and the light chasing thunder tiger instantly increased its speed, sprinting madly.

nThe two cars were made of wood, and they were making creaking sounds on the bumpy ride.

nGu Tianqing’s expression turned ugly again.

nAfter a while, he felt like vomiting.

nBut he still suppressed it with his tyrannical cultivation.

nThe other disciples also endured the discomfort.

nOn the other hand, because Fang Yuan was on the back of the tiger, the thick pads on the demon beast’s feet had provided him with quality shock absorption.

nIn addition to the protection of the wind element, the small room above was almost floating in the air, not feeling the slightest bit of turbulence.

nEveryone saw it, but they were not willing to ask to slow down.

nThey had just come out of the mountain. How could they admit defeat so quickly!

n
