The boundary monument of Southwest Province is not far away.

Next to a watch post at the edge of the official road.

A huge tiger with two wings on its back and a body length of three to four meters was snoring under a tree in the shade, snoring thunderously.

Beside the huge tiger, a thin black young man of about twenty was holding his nose while scooping up the tiger’s droppings and burying them nearby.

"Eat more, poop more, they really are a bunch of animals."

The thin black young man couldn’t help muttering.

"Xiao Chen, I advise you not to speak out of turn." Beside him, a middle-aged skinny man was sitting next to the sleeping tiger, grooming its fur. When he heard this, he spoke up to caution him.

"The flying tiger raised by the leader of Yunxiao Sect is a spiritual beast that understands human emotions."

"If he eats you up, where will you seek justice?"

This outpost is located not far from the boundary marker of Southwest Province, situated near the official road, serving as one of the main entrances to Southwest Province and its neighboring areas.

Currently, Southwest Province is in chaos, having lost contact with Zhong Province. This simple outpost… though called an outpost, actually consists of only two or three wooden huts, very basic in nature.

Despite being called an outpost, the skinny young man inside is not a lookout guard but rather a beast slave responsible for cleaning up and feeding the flying tiger.

The middle-aged man next to him is the same.

There are no lookout guards within this outpost. The one responsible for scouting out enemies is actually the huge tiger sleeping soundly under the tree.

"He eats more than us. Can’t I complain a little?" The skinny young man glanced at the sky, realizing the sun was high and that the tiger was beginning to awaken, knowing it was about time for a meal.

He went into the wooden house, quickly carried a big bucket of meat, and started feeding the tiger.

"Wow, Xiao Chen, you look skinny but are really strong. You can lift this big bucket of meat with one hand?" A skinny middle-aged man next to him praised.

"What’s the use of being strong? We are just brought here to shovel shit for this beast." The black, skinny young man clearly had a bad temper.

"Shoveling shit is not all. We have to take care of these two beasts for everything – grooming, feeding, and even massaging them according to Professor Xian Chang’s techniques… I have never even had a massage in my life." The skinny middle-aged man said halfway, then suddenly his gaze fell on the bucket of meat in the hands of the black, skinny young man.

"Is this your last bucket of meat? Seems like there is none left in the storage room?" The skinny middle-aged man’s voice suddenly lowered.

"Yes, there is none left. We won’t have anything to eat tonight, we’ll just have to go hungry." The black, skinny young man spoke grumpily.

"Not only us going hungry… These beasts are usually fine to deal with, but if they get hungry, they can even eat people." The skinny middle-aged man was starting to break into a cold sweat.

"It can eat people? Where is the leader of the Yunxiao Sect? Are these beasts raised by them?" The black, skinny young man was shocked, frowning as he asked.

The leader of the Yunxiao Sect is like a mysterious dragon, disappearing for a while whenever he goes into seclusion. He is often late when he returns. The middle-aged man frowned.

"The last time he appeared must have been about half a month ago, right? No wonder the meat in the cellar has been eaten by that creature."

The two beast slaves looked at each other for a while, their brows furrowing.

The nearby flying tiger was enjoying the meat in the bucket and didn’t notice the two people’s strange behavior.

"Should we run and bring along Little Third Brother?" asked the skinny dark-haired youth cautiously.

"Run? Do you think these tigers are blind? These mysterious tigers are smart, if you really run, you’d end up in their belly," said the skinny middle-aged man shaking his head.

"You’re new here, you might not have heard Little Third talking about the past… Around ten people were captured to serve these two beasts at this checkpoint before."

"Three people tried to escape, but they were all swallowed by these beasts."

"Now in this checkpoint, it’s just you, me, and Little Third, three of us left."

The skinny dark-haired youth counted and felt something was off. "There were ten in total, three escaped, and now there are three left… shouldn’t there be four left? Uncle Zhang, you’re not counting right."

"Oh…you think I can’t count? It’s probably because you’re forgetful. The other four were late once when the immortal leader visited, there was no meat left in the cellar, so they ended up being eaten by those two beasts," the sweaty middle-aged man explained.

"They ran one or two miles away, but couldn’t escape the beasts’ noses."

"How was I supposed to know that creature would resort to eating people when it’s starving?"

"In that case, there’s no way out, staying here will surely lead to death." The thin black youth named Xiao Chen frowned deeply.

"Let’s call Little Third Brother and run in three different directions, let’s see who gets lucky and survives… Where is Little Third Brother?

"He just went to feed the other flying tiger, I remember it was towards the east -"

At this point, the thin black youth suddenly made a "shh" gesture. They heard rustling sounds coming from the east side of the forest, getting closer, sounding like footsteps.

"Has Little Third Brother returned?" asked the thin dark young man cautiously.

No one answered.

After a moment, a huge black shadow emerged from the bushes, it was the second winged flying tiger.

"I thought it was a thief…" the thin middle-aged man wiped his sweat but before he could finish his sentence, he was patted on the shoulder by the thin dark young man beside him, who pointed towards the flying tiger.

Looking closely, they saw that the flying tiger had some blood around its mouth, and there was a small piece of cloth stuck on its claws.

"Looks like it’s just the two of us this time," the slim young man said in a low voice.

"Let’s run in opposite directions and see who will be lucky —"

Before he finished speaking, the two three-to-four-meter-long flying tigers simultaneously perked up their ears and looked westward together.

The slim young man looked closely and saw a small wild cat crouching under the eaves of the watchtower to the west, appearing out of nowhere.

Though it looked like a wild cat, this cat was a bit different from the usual ones, with its belly almost touching the ground.

In these difficult times, when people hardly have enough to eat, where could such a fat wild cat have come from?

What was even stranger was that despite being stared at by the two giant tigers, the small wild cat not only didn’t run away but instead took small steps closer.

Roar!

Two giant tigers roared at the same time, with wings suddenly spreading behind them, their roars echoing through the mountains and forests, mouths wide open with fierce sounds, causing the surrounding wild grass to cower in fear.

The wildcat, originally walking carelessly, was startled by the roar of the two giant tigers, stood frozen in place for a moment, then swiftly turned into a black shadow and pounced forward, claws pressing directly on the tiger’s nose.

With a loud bang.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The giant tiger seemed to have been struck by a heavy blow, its chin hitting the ground, creating a shallow pit with soil splashing all around.

The chubby cat pressed its paw on top of the tiger’s head, gradually pushing the tiger’s head into the mud bit by bit, until the tiger’s roar abruptly stopped and its limbs twitched before coming to a halt.

"What kind of monster is this again?"

The two young men exchanged a glance, immediately preparing to escape. However, before they could take two steps, they saw the other flying tiger spread its wings and soar high into the sky, flapping its wings towards the distance.

This man-eating flying tiger was surprisingly faster than them in running away? And more decisive?

At this moment, the wildcat that had pressed down the tiger’s head opened its mouth and made a strange sound, not a meow, but a unique noise:

"Joe Joe Joe Joe…."

"Is this how cats sound? What kind of creature similar to a cat is this?" The skinny young man was confused.

In the next moment, there was another loud noise, the ground slightly shook, as if a heavy object had landed.

He turned his head to look.

He saw a white-haired middle-aged man who looked about thirty years old, holding the tail of a huge tiger, dragging the tiger along.

The huge tiger made a helpless whimpering sound at this moment, its limbs on the ground completely unable to resist the immense force, only leaving a long scratch on the ground.

"Joe Joe is here." The stray cat turned its head and called out to the newcomer.

The skinny middle-aged man turned around in horror, only then did he realize, this stray cat was not some strange creature similar to a cat with a peculiar sound… it was a big monster that could speak human language, right?

"Ah. Been teaching for so long, but still can’t speak fluently." The white-haired man approached while dragging the huge tiger, and the fat cat then leaped onto his shoulder.

"A talking monster… and this white-haired, human-shaped monster, encountering two monsters at the same time?" The two dark young men looked at each other, their hearts sinking.

Just out of the tiger’s den and into the wolf’s lair, feeling discouraged.

"Are you two locals? Perfect timing," Qiao Mu saw the two standing there foolishly and walked towards them.

Hai Wuya’s purchased mansion, still unsure which corner of Southwest Province it is located in.

Even though Hai Siyuan had a rough idea of where Linhe City was, finding it would still take some time. Having a guide would definitely help save time.

As he was walking towards the two of them, he was surprised to see the thin dark young man suddenly kneel down in front of him, saying:

"Please spare me, my lord. I may not be good to eat with my skinny body, but I am strong and can do the dirty work. I am willing to serve you for generations…. No, I mean, I am willing to serve you as a mountain guard."

Qiao Mu gasped in surprise.

The customs in Southwest Province are quite different from those in Zhong Province and Nan Province…

……….

"So, are you both here to serve this giant tiger as beast slaves? And everyone else got eaten except for you two?" Hai Siyuan asked with a frown.

He came out of the Hundred-mile Desert and already knew that the situation in Zhong Province was a mess.

When they arrived in the Southwest Province, they found that the situation there might not be better than in the Zhong Province…

By seeing a leopard through a tube, you can get an idea of its appearance.

"Gentlemen, killing that huge tiger might cause trouble," the young man said after clearing up the misunderstanding.

"This spiritual beast was raised by the leader of the Yunxiao Sect. If it dies without reason, the leaders will likely sense something and come soon," he warned.

"Hmm," Qiao Mu didn’t take it seriously, but looked at the two people in front of him.

"So, keeping you here would be a dead end… Do you know where Linhe City is, or Peach Blossom Villa north of Linhe City?"

The two young men looked at each other, nodded excitedly.

Linhe City is not difficult to find. It is the largest city in Southwest Province.

Although they had never heard of Peach Blossom Villa before, following the map to find it was not difficult.

……………

Southwest Province is mountainous. The so-called Peach Blossom Villa, chosen by Hai Wuya as a refuge, is naturally quite remote.

It is not around the bustling city, but in the mountains to the north outside the city.

As the saying goes, when the mountains are steep and the water is winding, one might doubt if there is a way; but suddenly there is a village with bright willows and clear flowers.

The mountains north of the city seemed densely covered with vegetation and almost impassable. After traversing the winding mountain road, a peach blossom forest suddenly appeared before their eyes.

In the peach blossom forest, a faint view of a villa surrounded by peach trees could be seen. The villa was surrounded by lush grass and falling petals, making it a delightful and pleasant place.

At the entrance of the mansion, you could vaguely see a big, strong man waiting there. When Qiao Mu, Hai Siyuan, and others approached, he picked up two long spears and walked towards them.

"Don’t worry, Elder Lao," Hai Siyuan saw the appearance of the approaching person from afar and felt relieved in his heart.

"Father Hai Wuya once instructed that this mansion is usually watched by his old friend’s subordinates. It seems that this big, strong man is…"

Before he could finish speaking, Qiao Mu blurted out:

"Is this Zhang Kui? Is the old friend of Hai Wuya named Wang Songhe, as you mentioned?"

Qiao Mu had seen this big, strong man before in Nan Province. He was one of the bandits following Wang Songhe, dark and strong, skilled with two spears. When Qiao Mu was 42 years old, he had briefly practiced with him.

"Elder Lao knows too?"

Zhang Kui, the big, strong man, initially thought it was some bandits attacking, but as he approached and heard the conversation clearly, he naturally put down his spears and exchanged greetings.

"You are Qiao Jin, right? The Qiao Jin who killed Emperor Yonghe?"

Zhang Kui stared at Qiao Mu for a few moments, then let out a soft sigh.

"Actually, I know Brother Qiao Sen. Back in Nan Province, I practiced martial arts with him. You look even younger than Qiao Sen did back then."

As he spoke, Zhang Kui’s face showed a look of reminiscence.

"In the past, Brother Qiao Sen and I stormed into Yan City together. We fought off over a hundred guards from the Guo family, and we even took down the City Lord Guo Yan. It feels like it was just yesterday."

Memories of events that never happened started to surface… I remember you were just a background character… Qiao Mu didn’t reveal the truth either.

"The Qiao family was well-known in Yan City before, but now they are famous throughout the world. Qiao Jin has become an exceptional expert, on par with Martial Saint and Yan Shenji," Zhang Kui said with emotion.

"The Qiao family continues to do what they did in Yan City, sacrificing everything for generations. It’s just that the world has changed a lot since then."

It has only been a year or two since the events in Yan City.

Zhang Kui remained the same as before, but seemed even more skilled than Qiao Mu remembered, like he had moved up a level in martial arts, just slightly.

In the same time and reality, Qiao Mu became the unparalleled master Qiao Jin after Qiao Sen died.

"Wang Songhe, I heard he is active in Nan Province, why are you in Southwest Province?" Qiao Mu asked.

Although these two provinces are close and adjacent, Qiao Mu remembered that Wang Songhe became the lord of Yan City.

Now that Zhang Kui appeared here, does it mean something has happened on Wang Songhe’s side?
