CHAPTER 1620: CHAPTER 1620: JOINING FORCES

To Fang Bai’s surprise, the Lightning Mink was already at the initial stage of the Soul Severing Realm, on par with his cultivation level.

It made sense; the Lightning Mink had a special constitution that allowed it to absorb nature’s spiritual energy anytime, anywhere, even while sleeping, it was in a state of cultivation.

In this world full of dense spiritual energy and abundant Spiritual Medicine, it could be said to be like a fish in water, with its strength undoubtedly progressing rapidly.

The Lightning Mink’s improvement could be seen in the color of its fur.

When Fang Bai first encountered the Lightning Mink, it was all white. Later, it turned from white to gray, and now it had changed from gray to silver, looking much more majestic than before, truly a "handsome man" among Spirit Beasts.

Fang Bai suspected that the medicinal gardens of both the Tiger Clan and the Lion Clan were half ruined and stolen by none other than the Lightning Mink!

The Lightning Mink loved eating Spiritual Medicine, and with the abundance of King Grade herbs in this world, it suited its palate perfectly. One could imagine how many Sect’s medicinal gardens had been ravaged since it arrived in this world.

Moreover, the Lightning Mink enjoyed causing trouble. The so-called conflict between the Tiger Clan and Lion Clan was purely something it stirred up for entertainment.

Fang Bai could guess that the "thief" mentioned by the Tiger and Lion Disciples and the Lion Disciple’s waist token were all the work of the Lightning Mink.

"Haha, Fang Bai, I didn’t expect you to reach the Soul Severing Realm too! I’m at the same level now! In the secular world and minor world, I was always behind you, but here I’ve finally caught up! Haha... And now, transforming into a human form is effortless for me! Watch this..."

As Lightning Mink spoke, it shook its body a few times, and in front of Fang Bai appeared a young man in white robes, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, exuding charm.

"How’s that? Doesn’t it make you feel inferior? Haha, if I am the second most handsome man in the world after my Transformation, no one would dare claim first!"

The Lightning Mink was complacent and narcissistic.

Fang Bai rolled his eyes and said, "You transformed, but why wear the same white robe as me? Even your looks are seven or eight-tenths like mine. Did you do it on purpose?"

Lightning Mink grinned and said, "This way, we look even more like good brothers! By the way, Fang Bai, have you seen that Taoist Wu De? After you left in the minor world, we gained quite a reputation!"

Fang Bai said irritably, "You two, one likes to ravage Spiritual Medicine, the other is skilled in grave robbing. Birds of a Feather! Your so-called reputation doesn’t sound too good, does it?"

The Lightning Mink showed no shame, flashing an alluring smile, and said, "Birds of a Feather? More like kindred spirits! Do you know that in the minor world, every Sect and Loose Cultivator feared us whenever they mentioned me and Taoist Wu?"

Fang Bai said, "Wu De is in the Tiger Clan Territory, you know?"

"What?"

The Lightning Mink was taken aback, then happily said, "Really? When did Taoist Wu arrive?"

Fang Bai said, "Wu De is friends with the Tiger Clan’s disciples, but you’ve ravaged their medicinal garden, offending the Tiger Clan greatly. What are you going to do?"

The Lightning Mink scratched its head and said, "Had I known, I wouldn’t have done it! At worst, I’ll compensate the Tiger Clan for some losses! I still have plenty of Spiritual Medicine in my Space Ring!"

"It’s not going to be that easy!"

Fang Bai nodded towards the ongoing brawl between the Tiger and Lion Clans and said, "See? Because of your instigation, many Tiger Clan disciples have died or been injured. They won’t forgive you easily."

The Lightning Mink said, "What should I do then? Should I go to the Tiger Clan Territory and just not mention it, so they won’t know it’s me?"

Fang Bai said, "The Tiger Clan is straightforward. If you want to be friends with them, don’t hide anything, be direct... Never mind, I’ll think of something! As long as I can offer something to satisfy the Tiger Clan, they might stop pursuing this matter!"

Lightning Mink asked, "What do we do now? The Tiger Clan seems to be at a disadvantage. Shouldn’t we help them out?"

"Of course!"

Fang Bai said, "I’ll take on the Lion Clan Leader; you go and injure some Lion Clan disciples... don’t overdo it, or they might fight back desperately. Just scare them off!"

"Understood!"

Hearing about a fight, the Lightning Mink immediately got excited, let out a clear howl, and lunged at several Lion Clan experts.

Although the Lightning Mink was only at the initial stage of the Soul Severing realm, its movement technique was so fast that even mid-stage Soul Severing experts found it hard to catch up, completely helpless against it.

As it darted around like a silver flash among the Lion Clan experts, the Lion experts it passed were left bleeding and screaming, many falling to the ground.

In an instant, dozens of Lion Clan experts were either dead or injured. The other Lion experts, seeing this, were shocked and dodged when they spotted the silver flash, fearing a deadly encounter.

"This little guy is ruthless!"

Fang Bai saw the immediate effect of the Lightning Mink’s attack and couldn’t help but silently applaud.

"Master!"

Seeing Fang Bai suddenly cross the air from a mountain peak, a Wind Roc battling a Lion Clan expert was overjoyed.

"Brother Fang is here!"

The Tiger brothers knew Fang Bai’s incredible skills were a strong ally for the Tiger Clan, and his appearance greatly delighted them.

"That guy Fang Bai, was off doing something mysterious, only coming now!"

Wu De muttered.

He knew his own strength was too weak to help in such battles between experts, so he had hidden behind some Tiger Clan experts for protection since the clash began.

The Soul Severing experts of the Tiger Clan sensed Fang Bai’s formidable aura, glanced at him amid the chaos, and knowing this human was a friend, became reinvigorated.

Though Fang Bai was only an initial stage Soul Severing expert, at this moment, for either the Tiger or Lion Clan, having one more Soul Severing expert’s aid meant a greater chance of victory.

"Brothers of the Tiger Clan, let’s join forces to repel the enemy, then catch up later!"

Fang Bai nodded at the Wind Roc first, then spoke to the Tiger brothers.

As he spoke, the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade appeared in his hand, and he charged directly toward the Lion Clan Leader, who was fiercely battling the Tiger Clan Leader.

The Lion Clan Leader, Huang Sheng, was a high-rank Soul Severing expert, two minor realms above Fang Bai. Yet, when Fang Bai swung that blade, he was shocked, thinking how could this young man, just entering the Soul Severing realm, be so powerful. That swing made him feel his heart tremble.

Having to deal with both the Tiger Clan Leader Hu Chong’s attack and Fang Bai’s formidable blade, Huang Sheng knew he couldn’t handle it, and reluctantly stepped back.
