The roar of the Gale Wolf King was filled with the anger of having its sweet dreams disturbed. Immediately, a terrifying wave of Monster Qi swept out from the cave.

A massive silhouette, dark green and black, burst out from the cave entrance like a whirlwind.

It was the Gale Wolf King! Its scarlet eyes vigilantly scanned the surroundings. When it sensed the intense fluctuation of spiritual power in the distance, a look of greed appeared in its eyes. To it, this was surely a sign of some Natural Treasure emerging.

For monster beasts, such things have a deadly allure. Without any hesitation, it transformed into a blur and dashed towards the source of the spiritual power fluctuation.

"Great opportunity! It's now!" Lin Changsheng whispered.

"Senior Brother Wang, hurry!"

Wang Chen didn't dare delay, pushing his speed to the limit, and in a flash, he dashed into the cave. Liu Yue and Chen Feng stood nervously at the entrance, guarding for Wang Chen.

Lin Changsheng remained still. He simply watched the Gale Wolf King's retreating figure, a barely noticeable curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

His mind power was like two invisible threads.

One connected to Wang Chen. The other, to the Gale Wolf King.

The Gale Wolf King's speed was extremely fast; a distance of several hundred meters was just a matter of a dozen breaths for it.

It quickly arrived at the grass patch. However, what it saw was not some Natural Treasure, but an ordinary stone glowing faintly.

The Gale Wolf King was stunned. It felt its intelligence had been insulted. With an angry roar, it smashed the stone into powder with a swipe of its paw.

A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

Then, it immediately turned around, ready to return to its lair. It knew it had been tricked. Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain! However, just as it turned around...

"Bang!" The ground beneath its feet suddenly and unexpectedly bulged upward.

Caught off guard, the Gale Wolf King stumbled, nearly falling.

As it steadied itself and prepared to continue on its way, a tree as thick as a bowl snapped with a "crack" and fell towards it.

The Gale Wolf King could only leap awkwardly to the side to avoid the falling tree. It hadn't even caught its breath when a millstone-sized rock rolled down from above.

Gale Wolf King: "..." It felt as if the entire world was against it. It just wanted to go home, why was it so difficult?

In the time that followed, the Gale Wolf King fully experienced what it meant to be "on a bumpy road."

On its way home, it encountered all sorts of "accidents"—tripping on flat ground, getting hit by trees, being rolled over by rocks.

Once, it even fell into a pit that had appeared out of nowhere. After struggling to climb out, it was chased and stung by a swarm of wild bees that appeared from who knows where.

This dignified first-tier high-grade Monster Beast King, at this moment, was as pathetic as a stray dog.

What it didn't know was that the mastermind behind all this was standing several hundred meters away, like a master puppeteer, elegantly manipulating everything around it.

Lin Changsheng's mind power was exquisitely precise. He could make the ground bulge, trees snap, rocks roll.

He could even use mind power to provoke a beehive. He had meticulously designed a "road home" for the Gale Wolf King, filled with obstacles and hardships.

His goal was to buy time. To give Wang Chen enough time.

Inside the cave, Wang Chen was moving at full speed. Like a gust of wind, he rushed to the depths of the cave.

When he saw the three verdant Gale Grass plants, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Without any hesitation, he carefully uprooted the three Gale Grass plants and placed them into a specially made Jade Box.

Mission accomplished! He didn't dare linger for a moment, immediately turning to dash out of the cave.

Just as he burst out of the cave entrance, a howl filled with endless frustration and anger echoed from afar.

Covered in wounds and in a sorry state, the Gale Wolf King finally broke free from that damned "road home" and saw its lair.

And then, it saw Wang Chen rushing out of its lair.

And in Wang Chen's hand, the Jade Box containing the Gale Grass.

The Gale Wolf King's eyes instantly turned red.

That was the treasure it had guarded for nearly a hundred years!

Now, it had been stolen!

"Roar!" It let out an earth-shattering roar, transforming into a dark green and black lightning bolt, madly charging towards Wang Chen.

The overwhelming aura of destruction made Wang Chen and the others feel suffocated.

"Run!" Wang Chen's face changed dramatically as he shouted to Liu Yue and Chen Feng.

However, the Gale Wolf King's speed was too fast.

They simply didn't have time to escape. Seeing the gleaming claws about to tear through Wang Chen's body...

"Stop." A light voice echoed in everyone's ears. It was Lin Changsheng. At some point, he had already stood in front of Wang Chen.

He extended a finger, pointing lightly at the rampaging Gale Wolf King. Then, time seemed to freeze.

The ferocious Gale Wolf King halted abruptly, less than a foot away from Lin Changsheng. It maintained its pouncing posture, body rigid and unable to move.

As if it had been cast with an Immobilization Spell. Only its scarlet eyes were filled with endless terror and astonishment.

Wang Chen, Liu Yue, and Chen Feng were petrified once more. They gaped at the unimaginable scene before them, feeling as if their hearts had stopped beating.

If they could explain the "accidental" annihilation of the wolf pack earlier as "luck," then what was this? Manifestation of Words?

One Finger to Settle the Universe? Unable to sense spiritual power, yet stopping with just a word.

Fing hell, is this something a first-level Qi Refining disciple can do?

This is clearly a legendary technique of an Elemental Infant elder, a Divine Transformation Almighty Being!

The way they looked at Lin Changsheng was no longer as if they were looking at a person.

But as if they were looking at a god cloaked in human skin.
