The veins of the peak stage Nascent God Realm lion protruded when he heard Jiu Shen's words. He was more intelligent than the other lions, so he was able to understand what Jiu Shen meant. 

"You insolent human! You dare barge into our home and even mock my proud Lion Clan?! Roaarr!!" The huge lion emitted a roar in the face of Jiu Shen as if he wanted to see him piss his pants in terror, but to the lion's dismay, Jiu Shen did not even take a step back nor did he flinch at this intimidation. The lion even failed to notice that his spittle had evaporated before it even touched Jiu Shen's face. 

With a calm and indifferent expression, Jiu Shen ignored the loud lion and walked straight towards the heart of the Lion Clan's base. He went directly into the cave of their strongest clan member under the dumbfounded gazes of these savage beasts. 

"You fucking piece of shit! Where do you think you are going?!" The huge lion morphed into a tall and hulking human and he angrily pointed at Jiu Shen with his slightly shaking arms. 

Jiu Shen's calm eyes emitted a cold glow and an ordinary-looking sword suddenly became visible in his hands. 

Shing!

No one saw his movements, and the savage beasts only heard the sound of his sword being put back to its scabbard. 

Thud!

To the lions' horror, the peak stage Nascent God Realm lion who had transformed into a human had its head severed. The angry expression on his face was still present when his decapitated head fell towards the ground. 

Blood spurted out from the neck of the headless lion before his body finally collapsed on the ground dead. 

Everything happened in just a blink of an eye and not even a single lion present was able to witness how Jiu Shen had managed to kill this strong savage beast in just one stroke! 

Jiu Shen did not even stop walking when he killed that lion. It was as if killing this savage beast was no significant feat... 

All the lions trembled in fear as they watched this human as he slowly walked towards the cave of their strongest elder. None of them were foolish enough to provoke such a terrifying human who was capable of killing a peak stage Nascent God Realm in less than a second...

Jiu Shen suddenly stopped in front of a large cave. He stared straight towards it as if he could see through the interior of this dark cave. 

"I know that you have witnessed how I killed that little lion. Do you want to come out on your own or perhaps you want me to help you out?" Jiu Shen's cold voice echoed like a death song in the ears of the lions. 

These savage beasts silently recalled when they had provoked such a maleficent character...

"Honored friend, I don't remember our Lion Clan provoking an esteemed person like yourself. Can you please enlighten this old man?" An aged voice drifted from inside the cave as the silhouette of a person came out of it. This person was actually an old man, but the most intriguing thing about him was his muscular figure despite his old age. 

"A little brat who is merely more than a thousand years old dares to call himself an old man in front of me?" Jiu Shen said as he glanced at the muscular old man.

The murky eyes of the old man flickered with anger. He tried to hide the killing intent behind that gaze, but how could Jiu Shen fail to notice that with his unparalleled spiritual power?

The old man scanned Jiu Shen's figure, but he could not even sense this human's power no matter how he looked at him. This finally made him feel a sense of threat since it was the first time that he failed to distinguish his opponent's cultivation level. 

As an expert at the Origin God Realm, he could see through anyone's strength with just a simple glance, but this human, he could not even sense his power... If he did not see how Jiu Shen had easily dispatched that peak stage Nascent God Realm lion, he would believe that Jiu Shen was just a fool. Now, he finally realized that this guy wasn't as simple as he seemed to be.

"Honored friend, if our Lion Clan has wronged you before, I will apologize on behalf of my clan. I would also offer an additional compensation as a token of my sincere apology." The old man forced out a smile as he uttered those words. After living for more than a thousand years, he knew when to attack and when to retreat. At this moment, all his instincts were telling him to stay the fuck away from this human. 

Jiu Shen revealed an interested look when he heard the old man's words. "Oh? Little brat, what can your clan offer to me?" He asked in a calm tone as he used his spiritual sight to search for Ice's parents. And after merely two seconds, he discovered a small group of savage beasts tide up in the deepest part of the old man's cave. 

The old man almost snapped when Jiu Shen called him a little brat, but he held it in when he recalled this human's inestimable power. With a face full of smiles, the old man replied. "Our clan has discovered an Origin-Rank spiritual plant a few months back then. Although we still have not discovered its properties yet, we know that its worth is definitely astronomical. What do you think?" 

As he said those words, the heart of the old man bled, but he had to do it to make this human go away from their Lion Clan.

After he sensed that some Tiger Clan people were still alive, Jiu Shen retracted his spiritual sight and turned his gaze towards this old man.

"Origin-Rank spiritual plant... Not bad. I'm short on ingredients for my wine recipe. Little brat, go ahead and take it out for me." Jiu Shen said without batting an eye. He was slightly interested in this Origin-Rank spiritual plant as it might be a good ingredient for his wine. 

The old man's body shook, but he controlled his anger from exploding. With a stiff smile, he replied. "Please wait for me here, honored friend."
