Chapter 18: Secretly Crossing Chencang and Hunting Soul Beasts
On the morning of the second day after awakening his martial soul, at the gate of Chunyang Holy Leopard City, witnessed by half of the city's residents, the carriage symbolizing the young patriarch of the Chunyang Holy Leopard clan, escorted by the family's 5 Soul Saints and 15 Soul Emperors, headed towards the Chunyang Holy Leopard clan's exclusive Soul Hunting Forest, where a large number of power-type and defense-type soul beasts under 3000 years old were kept, suitable as Chunyang Holy Leopard soul rings.

“Oh, look at these adults’ clothes. They are black and gold. This means they are the elders of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan. They are Soul Saints, and there are five of them! Is this the appearance of the young patriarch of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan?” A peddler who came from outside to do business exclaimed in amazement when he saw so many powerful men for the first time.

“That’s right. Our young clan leader is born with full soul power. He is the top genius on the continent!” An outer disciple of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan said proudly.

"If you are so powerful, why don't you beat the soul beast you want to hunt half to death, bring it into the mansion, and get the soul ring directly? Why do you have to go to the family soul hunting forest?" Passerby A asked puzzledly.

"Hey, you don't understand this! The young patriarch is a powerful soul master, so naturally he has to go to the Soul Hunting Forest himself to hone his skills! You know, every strong person has to go through endless wind and rain before they can see the rainbow! As for danger, there are so many strong people in his own family's territory, how could there be any danger!" Passerby B explained on the side.

"He can be replaced!" A 22-year-old young man standing on the street whispered. He looked like a level 5 soul warrior.

Just as the young man was fantasizing about the future, a stick quietly stretched out from behind him and hit him hard, causing the young man's head to bleed.

"Damn it, run, run again, it's you who stole the goods from the store, right?" The market law enforcer of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard tribe went up and subdued the boy.

"What? I was wondering why the bills didn't add up recently! I almost got fired by my boss, and it turns out it was you!" The accountant of a store shouted, looking very happy.

"That's right. I was wondering why the store couldn't tally its accounts. It turned out to be this guy."

"Me too!"

"Gun him, gun him, punish him severely!" The accountants from nearby shops immediately turned into righteous men, cheering and rushing towards the young man, wanting to beat him to death.

I don't know if these stores really have problems with their accounts because of thefts, or if there is something wrong with the accountants themselves.

The law enforcer at the side immediately stopped everyone, "Everyone stop, stop, private fighting is prohibited in Chunyang Shengbao City. If you have any conflicts, go to the fighting arena to fight to the death, or report to the law enforcer for mediation. We, the law enforcers, will take this person to the prison for interrogation first. Don't worry! We will definitely investigate the truth and give everyone justice."

The convoy ignored this farce. He was just a level 5 soul warrior and could be easily dealt with by the law enforcers.

On that day, the accountants of a dozen nearby shops (who were not disciples of the Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan, but businessmen who came to do business) secretly went to the Law Enforcement Hall late at night.

The next day, the interrogation results came out. This young man stole goods worth 5 gold soul coins and was sentenced to death immediately.

Everyone is happy except this young man!
The Pure Yang Holy Leopard Clan didn't pay any attention to this matter. No matter who the Golden Soul Coin ended up in, as long as their family members were safe and the foreign shops paid the full tax on time, they would not care about anything else.

I can't control it either.

the other side.

"Grandma, the convoy has left the city." In the City Lord's Mansion, Zhuang Xingyu said to Murong Yunxue.

"Okay, my dear grandson, let's set off for Sunset Forest immediately. That 600-year-old Yin-Yang Demon Bear is definitely suitable for you."

That’s right, that convoy just now was fake!!!

The real Zhuang Xingyu, accompanied by his grandmother, went to the Sunset Forest to hunt soul beasts.

The two of them disguised themselves and secretly left the city through the family's secret passage. They chose to walk on remote paths along the way, and with Murong Yunxue's powerful soul power of level 88, they arrived at the northern part of the Sunset Forest in less than an hour.

Murong Yunxue immediately moved quickly towards the location of the Yin-Yang Demon Bear according to her memory.

There was no intention of stopping to let Zhuang Xingyu identify the soul beast, practice his wild survival skills, or have a encounter with the soul beast.

Because the key now is to obtain the spirit ring to avoid any accidents. As for the rest, Murong Yunxue plans to wait until Zhuang Xingyu obtains the spirit ring before proceeding, which will also not be too late.

"Along the way, there aren't many signs of human soul hunting, nor are there any signs of large soul beast activities. The Yin-Yang Demon Bear is most likely still alive." Murong Yunxue observed, feeling relieved.

In the past two days, the family did not send anyone to check if the Yin Yang Demon Bear was still there. One reason was that they were afraid of being discovered since Zhuang Xingyu was planning to go to the Sunset Forest to hunt souls.

Second, it is meaningless. If it is gone, it is gone. What is the point of going to see it? It cannot be brought back.

Even if there is nothing left, we can activate other backup plans and hunt other soul beasts directly in the Sunset Forest without wasting time.

Zhuang Xingyu followed his grandmother, looking around curiously along the way. This was the second time he had traveled so far since he was born.

The last time I visited the Holy Soul Village, I just made a quick visit there, and it was also a place where humans lived. But now that I am in the Sunset Forest, it feels completely different.

Zhuang Xingyu seemed to have come to the tropical rainforest of his previous life! However, the climate here is much drier than that of the tropical rainforest, and the humidity is equivalent to the temperate monsoon climate zone of his previous life. But the trees here are evergreen forests, and the biodiversity is much richer than that of the tropical rainforest. This should be due to the soul power.

It is extremely quiet here, with trees blocking out the sun. Even though we are on the outskirts now, the height of the trees is generally over 19m. The huge treetops block the sunlight, leaving only a few spots of light shining through. From time to time, the cries of soul beasts can be heard in the distance, adding a bit of depression to the forest.

However, with the presence of Murong Yunxue, a powerful late-stage Soul Douluo, no blind soul beast would dare to come and die.

Because he had once allowed the Chaos Pearl to absorb the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor, Zhuang Xingyu also gained the Blue Silver Domain. However, it is still hidden in his body and has not awakened yet. It will take some time for it to fully awaken.

But this also allows Zhuang Xingyu to initially use the nearby blue silver grass to observe the surrounding movements, and Zhuang Xingyu plans to give it a try.

Following the perception of the blue silver grass, Zhuang Xingyu discovered that his eyes could observe 360 ​​degrees without blind spots like a dragonfly, but he needed to look up because the blue silver grass was too short.

But Zhuang Xingyu didn't like to look up to these soul beasts. In his previous life, when he was in school or company, he felt very depressed every time he was disciplined by his mentors and leaders. He didn't want to be stepped on by others. His classmates and colleagues said that Zhuang Xingyu was hypocritical.

Until Zhuang Xingyu met an old fortune teller, he looked at Zhuang Xingyu's horoscope and face, and with a look of pity on his face, he said that Zhuang Xingyu was born at the wrong time, 400 years late, otherwise the barbarians would not have been able to enter the pass.

Zhuang Xingyu didn’t understand at that time, until he came to Douluo Continent, he understood the meaning of what the old gentleman said. He was really good at judging people!
"Aoao, rooao!" Murong Yunxue and the other person walked to a cave and saw a big bear. Its body was black in the middle and white on both sides, which was exactly the opposite of the giant panda's color in their previous life.

When he saw someone coming, he immediately roared at the grandparents and grandchildren, trying to scare away this powerful enemy by roaring.

"My dear grandson, we're here. This is the Yin Yang Demon Bear."

　The reason why they chose to go to the Sunset Forest instead of the Star Forest was because the Pure Yang Saint Leopard Clan was in the northwest of the Tiandou Empire, close to the Arctic Icefield, and close to the Sunset Forest. The Star Forest was in the south-central part of the Tiandou Empire and far away.
