The Vajra Giant Ape transformed into a golden fierce bird, quickly fleeing beyond the borders of Dakun City.

Boom!

The golden bird fell into a mountain forest, transforming back into the form of a giant ape. On its chest, the yard-long wound kept oozing blood, staining the area from its chest to its abdomen crimson.

The sharp pain from its chest made the Vajra Giant Ape involuntarily reach out to touch it. The moment its broad fingers touched the wound, a strong stabbing pain surged in its mind.

Roar!

Instantly, the Vajra Giant Ape trembled all over, its face twisted, appearing extremely grim, and a cry of pain escaped its mouth.

The cry faded, and the Vajra Giant Ape's expression became listless, the aura it emitted noticeably weakened.

Cough, cough～

Soon after, it seemed as if the Vajra Giant Ape had taken a heavy hit, coughing a few times like rolling thunder, spitting out several clumps of foul blood, then quickly steadying its precarious form, standing still in place.

In the next moment, the Vajra Giant Ape, with heavy steps, walked into a massive cave in the mountain.

Woo woo woo～

Upon seeing their king return, injured, the Red Giant Apes stationed near the cave let out anxious howls, hurrying over with concern.

Not wanting to pay attention to the Red Giant Apes gathering around, the Vajra Giant Ape waved its hand, dismissing them.

Subsequently, the Vajra Giant Ape slowly walked into the cave, each step pulled the pain, causing a twitch on its face. Upon returning to its lair, the Vajra Giant Ape's massive body leaned against a broad, shiny smooth stone platform.

Immediately, it was as if a giant stone hit the ground, causing the earth to shake with a loud muffled noise echoing around.

Pant pant pant～

The Vajra Giant Ape rested there, its blood-stained chest heaving, gasping heavily, gritting its teeth, enduring the throbbing pain from its chest.

Recalling the severe injury it sustained, fleeing in disgrace under the watchful eyes of all, the Vajra Giant Ape was engulfed in rage, feeling utterly humiliated.

Furthermore, given its current injuries, recovery was out of the question anytime soon.

"I swear, I will tear that damned little Sword Immortal of the Great Qin Empire into pieces, devour him alive!!!"

"Roar!"

The Vajra Giant Ape's eyes were blood red, swearing in its heart, feeling a blockage in its chest, letting out an angry roar to vent it.

Originally, it was about to break through that human city, but unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the little Sword Immortal of the Great Qin Empire appeared.

Now, forget about competing with the Thunder Tiger King for the first place on the Fierce Beast List, I've probably already become a laughing stock!

Thinking of this, the Vajra Giant Ape's grinding teeth made a creaking noise, filled with resentment.

Never would I have expected that among these weak humans, there exists such a powerful being.

The strength of that little Sword Immortal is indeed formidable. Even possessing the heritage of the Ancient Demon Ape, defeating him will not be an easy task.

"With such strength, I suspect even the Thunder Tiger King is no match, right?"

The Vajra Giant Ape's eyes flickered, secretly pondering.

Indeed, that must be the case. Despite the Thunder Tiger King sounding formidable, he surely can't compare to that extraordinary little Sword Immortal of the Great Qin Empire.

...

Meanwhile, at Tiger King Ridge.

Since Changbai Mountain's vast expansion, it has become today's Tiger King Ridge.

So now, Tiger King Ridge stretches beyond imagination. To better govern it, after clearing these lands, Jiang Che divided the territory.

Besides the central Peach Grove Valley spanning a hundred miles, Jiang Che divided all the other areas into five regions of varying sizes.

Four nearly equivalent regions were entrusted to Tiger Vanguard, Wu Dalang, Niu Dali, and Chi Lian. The other region, twice as large, was assigned to the brothers Xiong Da and Xiong Er to govern.

Outside Peach Grove Valley, Jiang Che looked at Tiger Vanguard and Xiong Da Xiong Er confronting each other before him, his eyebrows furrowed, troubled.

He now regretted it somewhat.

Had he known, he should never have placed Tiger Vanguard's territory adjacent to Xiong Da Xiong Er's. Busy with useless fights and disputes, they neglected serious matters.

Most importantly, Jiang Che had already lost count of how many times he had to handle conflicts between Tiger Vanguard and Xiong Da Xiong Er.

And they were always trivial matters that vexed Jiang Che endlessly.

"Well then, Xiong Da Xiong Er, it is indeed Tiger Vanguard's failure in managing his subordinates. How do you want him to make amends?"

Frowning, Jiang Che glanced at Tiger Vanguard, saying somewhat helplessly.

This time, again a high-level demon soldier under Tiger Vanguard flamboyantly led three demon soldiers into the territory that Xiong Da Xiong Er managed.

Even audaciously started harvesting Spiritual Objects like it was no different from being in their own home, exceedingly brazen.

Unfortunately, this act was caught red-handed by Xiong Da Xiong Er, leaving Tiger Vanguard no room to deny it.

Faced with the repeated harassments from Tiger Vanguard's side, even Xiong Da, known for his good temper, was furious, dragging Tiger Vanguard over for confrontation and complaint.

Feeling Jiang Che's gaze, Tiger Vanguard cringed, knowing it was at fault this time.

It felt wronged too, regretting intensely, who knew its subordinates would pull such stunts.

It definitely wasn't on its orders, those few meager Spiritual Objects held no interest for Tiger Vanguard.

"One hundred… two hundred Spiritual Objects, as long as this fellow Tiger Vanguard compensates us with these, we'll forgive him, hehe."

Xiong Da chuckled, pausing to think, making an outrageous demand.

Well now, that was quite ruthless!

Hearing this, Jiang Che was a bit surprised. Previously Xiong Da Xiong Er had always been short on cultivation resources, but seeing this opportunity, they naturally wanted to fleece Tiger Vanguard heavily!

"Tiger Vanguard, compensate Xiong Da Xiong Er with two hundred Spiritual Objects, and we'll end this matter here.

Consider it a lesson learned, manage your subordinates more strictly in the future, and don't be too lenient."

Lin Chuan shook his head helplessly, admonishing Tiger Vanguard.

"Understood, Great King!"

Hearing the demand for two hundred Spiritual Objects, Tiger Vanguard panicked, wanting to refuse, but with the Great King's directive and being at fault, it reluctantly had to concede.

"Tiger Vanguard has agreed, tomorrow Xiong Da Xiong Er, you'll receive the Spiritual Objects from Tiger Vanguard, alright, head back, everyone!"

Jiang Che waved them off, sending the three beasts away.

"Understood!"

As Tiger Vanguard left, it unhappily glared at Xiong Da Xiong Er.

But Xiong Da Xiong Er didn't notice at all, feeling they got a good deal, extremely pleased.

Subsequently, Jiang Che turned around and departed.

Inside the valley.

Nangong Luo was seriously examining the communicator.

"Hmph, a bunch of jumping clowns think they can compare to my big brother?"

Seeing the praise for the little Sword Immortal online while disparaging Thunder Tiger, Nangong Luo's eyes involuntarily showed a scornful look.
