Cultivation Simulator: Starting From The Empress' Palace

”What’s going on? We didn’t provoke them, so why are they chasing us relentlessly?” Jin Wu looked back at the rapidly increasing number of Red Flame Tigers behind them, his face immediately darkened.

Logically, there are only two possibilities for a demon beast to pursue someone so closely: either someone intruded into its territory, or harmed its kin.

But they had already bypassed the Ten Thousand Beast Canyon early on and hadn’t provoked the Red Flame Tigers, so why were they being pursued?

And it’s a whole group chasing them.

Red Flame Tigers aren’t even pack animals.

Jin Wu was utterly baffled.

”Miss, watch out.” Suddenly, a mass of flames burst out in front, fiercely pouncing towards Nangong Xue, making Jin Wu, Wang Wen, and Wuhua, who were guarding the rear, instantly alarmed.

Just then, a sword light flashed, cutting the flames into four pieces, revealing the body of a Red Flame Tiger inside, split by Nangong Xue’s Twin Swords.

Jin Wu breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could fully relax...

”Roar! Roar! Roar!”

A few roars came from the front, and five Red Flame Tigers blocked their path, glaring menacingly at the nine of them, their fur as fiery red as flames.

Glancing at the sides, he found they were surrounded by Red Flame Tigers there too.

The nine gathered together.

Chen Mo also furrowed his brows. He thought as long as they bypassed the Ten Thousand Beast Canyon, there would be no danger, so he hadn’t simulated this occurrence; who knew they would encounter trouble...

”Damn it.” Nangong Xue gritted her silver teeth, but even in such a dangerous situation, she remained calm.

”What should we do?” Jiang Ruoqing asked Chen Mo quietly.

”Master, do you want me to reveal my true form to scare them off?” Xiao Jiu pouted, communicating through her expression as if she didn’t take the group of Red Flame Tigers seriously.

”No need. The strength of this group of Red Flame Tigers isn’t strong, we should be able to break through.” Chen Mo was worried that if Xiao Jiu revealed her true form with Nangong Xue and the others nearby, they might spread the word, leading to troubles far greater than what the Red Flame Tigers could bring.

”These are just a group of Foundation Establishment Realm Red Flame Tigers; let’s kill our way out.” Jin Wu said, wielding a large saber.

The group nodded and charged forward.

Seeing their attack, the Red Flame Tigers also charged forward in groups.

”Sword One, Break!”

Chen Mo held the Celestial Inquiry Sword, infusing it with True Qi, and slashed forward, the powerful Sword Qi immediately slicing three Red Flame Tigers in half in front of him.

Nangong Xue and the others were momentarily stunned watching Chen Mo.

It was their first time witnessing Chen Mo in action, and it was so impressive.

”Why are you just standing there? Go.” Seeing Nangong Xue and the others still dazed, Chen Mo shouted, then led the three women out.

”Eldest Miss, Second Miss, follow behind Brother Chen, we’ll cover from behind,” Jin Wu said.

Nangong Xue nodded, leading Nangong Yue to follow closely.

Fighting and fleeing all the way.

No one knows how long they had been going, but everyone looked terribly disheveled.

Jin Wu’s face turned ashen, ”Are these creatures insane? We’ve killed so many, yet they’re still chasing us relentlessly, what do they want?”

”Second Miss, be careful...” Suddenly, Wuhua shouted loudly as a golden flame rushed towards Nangong Yue from above, incredibly fast, and the three behind were too late to stop it.

”Xiao Yue.” Nangong Xue’s face changed.

”Boom!”

A low, deep sound echoed. Just when they thought Nangong Yue was doomed, a figure appeared before her, firmly grabbing two tiger claws.

Turns out that flame was a Red Flame Tiger, but different from the others; its fur was golden yellow with small golden flames rising from its four hooves, its huge body was a majestic three or four zhang tall.

Chen Mo’s lean figure, in front of this Red Flame Tiger, looked like a kitten.

”Brother Chen’s body is so powerful.” Jin Wu exclaimed in surprise. The force that came crashing down from above was enough to tear a large tree apart, yet Chen Mo directly faced it head-on.

The Red Flame Tiger opened its bloody mouth, spewing flames, less than half a meter from Nangong Yue, who fell to the ground in shock, the scene deeply shaking her.

”Don’t just stand there, run.” Chen Mo lightly shouted, breaking through her unformed thoughts.

Nangong Xue rushed over, taking Nangong Yue away.

Seeing Nangong Xue leave, Chen Mo quickly withdrew, sidestepping to dodge, causing the tiger claws to land on the ground, leaving two claw pits.

The violent True Qi waves were like thunder, surging from its body, shaking the trees, and leaves rustled down.

”Golden... Core Realm, a... Great Demon!” Jin Wu’s face turned pale.

Wang Wen and Wuhua were also sweating coldly from fear.

In the same Realm, demons were naturally stronger than humans.

Now they’re all in the Foundation Establishment Realm; encountering a Golden Core Realm Great Demon, the Realm and physical disparity were evident, how could they fight, and who wouldn’t be afraid?

Chen Mo’s expression also became serious at this moment, but he did not retreat, holding the Celestial Inquiry Sword, tightly staring at the Great Demon.

”You insignificant humans dare step foot in the Ten Thousand Beast Canyon, I’ll have you pay with your lives.” The Golden Flame Tiger spoke like a human, immediately turning into a flame charging straight at Chen Mo, as it sensed that he was the greatest threat to it.

Zhao Qianyi, Jiang Ruoqing, and Xiao Jiu also rushed to help.

”Sister.” Nangong Yue tugged at Nangong Yue’s clothes.

”Our Nangong Family is not ungrateful.” Nangong Xue glanced at Jin Wu.

Jin Wu nodded, telling Wang Wen and Wuhua, ”Wang Wen, take the Eldest Miss and Second Miss and leave first, Wuhua, you come with me to help them.”

Wang Wen and Wuhua exchanged a look, the former covering for the Nangong sisters’ retreat, while the latter joined Jin Wu in attacking the Great Demon.

”You think you can leave? Every human here will die.”

”Roar!”

With a roar, another Great Demon appeared, blocking Nangong Xue and her group’s escape route.

”Chi Ya, you finally arrived,” said the Red Flame Tiger Chi Shi, who was battling Chen Mo.

”Another Great Demon,” Wang Wen’s legs were trembling at this point.

”Wuhua, go help the Young Miss,” Jin Wu glanced back and quickly directed Wuhua to assist.

The group of Red Flame Tigers also surrounded them, joining the two Great Demons, enclosing Chen Mo’s group once more.

”All of you, move aside,” roared Chi Ya, knowing its subordinates would only be throwing their lives away against these humans, so it ordered them to disperse; having Chi Ya and Chi Shi was enough.

The Tiger group let out low growls, slowly dispersing to the back.

”Could there be some misunderstanding? We’ve never set foot in Ten Thousand Beast Canyon,” Jin Wu tried to explain.

But Chi Shi and Chi Ya didn’t listen. A human presence at the death site of Demons meant to them that all humans must die.

”Chi Shi, make your move,” Chi Ya roared.
