Chapter 287 - The Chained Tigers

’That fucking bastard! Calm down. I have to calm down! That human’s power... I can’t see through him. I can only give him that spiritual plant to make him go away. Since my clan failed to learn about its usage and properties, I might as well give it to that guy to play with. If I manage to make those fucking tigers speak about the whereabouts of that Glacial Sovereign Tiger, I might be able to awaken my Savage Thunder Lion bloodline! By then, I will search for this guy and pay back this humiliation tenfold!’ The old man shouted in his heart as he went inside his cave of dwelling.

The narrow space became wider and the light coming from the torches illuminated the dark cave. In the furthest corner of the cave was a group of tigers tied up in metallic chains. Their figures bedraggled and pitiful, but their flickering pairs of eyes glowed with extreme animosity when they sensed the arrival of the old man.

The old man chuckled mockingly when he saw their expressions. He then ignored them and went straight towards a different corner. In that section of the cave were dozens of high-level spiritual plants!

The old man stopped and crouched in front of a small spiritual plant with purple leaves. It emitted a gloomy aura when the old man touched it.

"This plant is still so stubborn. Even after I had wiped out its sentient soul, it is still able to recognize me..." The old man muttered as he swiped his hands. The gloomy aura from the spiritual plant vanished after that swift motion of his hand.

He then carefully dug the plant from the soil and placed it inside a small flower pot made from mud. If Jiu Shen was here, he would have slapped the old man to death for handling the spiritual plant in such a rough manner.

After placing the plant in the flower pot, the old man took one last glance at the group of chained tigers before he left the cave.

Outside the cave, Jiu Shen followed the old man with his spiritual sight and he also discovered his small collection of spiritual plants. When he saw the spiritual plant with purple leaves, he was slightly taken aback.

"Grim Hallucination Flower..." He muttered the spiritual plant’s name when he saw it. This plant was indeed an Origin-Rank spiritual plant and it grows in places filled with corpses of strong creatures. This Grim Hallucination Flower sucks the yin energy from the corpses to promote its growth, making it develop a strange power of hallucination. It was also because of this that it had gained such a name.

Jiu Shen continued to observe the Grim Hallucination Flower and he found out that it was slowly dying. This did not surprise him since this kind of spiritual plant isn’t supposed to be planted in a cave.

"This stupid little lion. He actually planted such delicate flower inside his smelly cave..." Jiu Shen muttered to himself.

Just then, he saw the old man casually digging out the plant and replanting it in a pot made of mud. Jiu Shen’s calm eyes grew cold and he slowly stepped inside the cave.

The old man was shocked when he saw Jiu Shen coming inside his cave. He blocked his field of vision and pointed at the spiritual plant he was holding as he casually bullshitted. "Honored friend, this is the spiritual plant that I’m talking about. It has been with me for a few months now and I’ve been taking good care of it. Look. Its purple leaves are so abundant and healthy. From the looks of it, this thing might even produce a fruit that might be of help in our cultivation progress, but since I’m not fated with it, I will give this to you."

Jiu Shen ignored his made-up story and snatched the plant from the hands of the old man. He then placed it inside his space earring. The Grim Hallucination Flower was on the verge of dying, and this little brat actually dared to tell him that its leaves are healthy and abundant? Is this brat a retard?

The old man was horrified when he discovered that the spiritual plant in his hands had actually vanished. He didn’t even see how Jiu Shen had snatched it from him, and by this time, he was finally able to realize the massive difference in their power.

’Is he also an Origin God Realm expert or could it be that he is a...’ The old man became even more horrified as he thought of a possibility. The eyes he used to look at Jiu Shen also changed into that of respect and fear.

"Honored friend, I have honored my promise. Could you now please leave our Lion Clan? I would be extremely grateful to you and I promise that our Lion Clan would be your eternal friend." The old man hastily said when he saw Jiu Shen’s unchanging expression.

"Brat, you seem to be hiding a few little kids in here." Jiu Shen said as he pushed the old man away with one hand. He then walked inside the cave under the alarmed gaze of the old man.

’He actually managed to push me away with just one hand... Who the fuck is this guy?! I don’t recall provoking such an impressive individual...’ He muttered in his heart as he watched Jiu Shen walked inside the deepest parts of his cave. He could not even do anything to stop this crazy human from entering his territory...

The group of chained tigers heard a series of footsteps. They immediately glared hatefully at the darkness, but when they spotted the unfamiliar face walking towards them, they became confused. That old lion was very unfriendly and it never allowed anyone else to go inside his cave of dwelling, so who was this human?

The severely injured tigers stared at Jiu Shen warily. They could not sense any hostility from this man, but they did not remove their gazes from him.

"It’s good that some of you are still alive. I have come here under the guidance of a Glacial Sovereign Tiger, so don’t be tensed. I will help you escape from this place." The human’s calm words made the chained tigers dumbstruck.

At this moment, Jiu Shen saw the emotional gazes of two tigers among this group when he mentioned about a Glacial Sovereign Tiger. Seeing this, he heaved a sigh of relief...
