Immortal Star and Lu Zheng flew at casual speeds and reached the small valley at the base of White Earth Mountain.
The valley was completely filled with large trees that were closely packed together. A small river flowed through the large trees and extended into the distance as many beasts drank from it.
This small river was also from the same source as White Earth Mountain's white mud brook. As a matter of fact, one could trace the spring water to this place without losing their way.
Lu Zheng and Immortal Star descended and stood at the edge of the large forest that was the thicket of trees. The trees all looked the same and extended deep into the sky. It was as if they were willing to pierce the sky and drag the heavenly bodies downwards.
Lu Zheng trembled at this sight and thought of a matter, "The Heavenly Dao!"
Unconsciously, he clenched his fists so much that his knuckles became white…
"Ah? External Elder Lu" A calm voice called from a certain direction.
Lu Zheng heard this voice and turned to face the caller. It was the man that he was looking for, Na Qin Jie.
Na Qin Jie cupped his fists in a respectful manner and arched his back. His expression was nearly indifferent other than the simple reverent gesture he made with his face.
It was obvious that this was a man that did not speak much.
Lu Zheng sized the man up and smiled: "Na Qin Jie isn't it? You're the one who led the White Horned Wolves when Na Clan clashed with the former Qin Clan. Good, you're coming with me"
"Coming with you?" Na Qin Jie had a puzzled expression as he straightened his back. "Is anything the matter?"
"Not at all. You can say I have taken a liking to your methods" Lu Zheng smiled as he spoke.
Immortal Star who had remained silent all this time finally opened his mouth: "Aren't these beasts wolves? Why are they feeding on grass?"
Lu Zheng also gazed in the direction of Immortal Star's gaze and was faintly surprised.
Na Qin Jie seemed ashamed as he hurriedly spoke: "The White Horned Wolves are different from other wolves. They have three stomach compartments and can eat both meat and grass"
"Why aren't you feeding them meat then?" Immortal Star queried. It was obvious that the sight of grand wolves feeding on grass was too disturbing for him.
Lu Zheng interjected before Na Qin Jie could answer: "There are very little beasts around White Earth Mountain so feeding the White Horned Wolves would be a very difficult matter. This ability of the White Horned Wolves to graze is probably why Qin Clan was able to raise an enslavement path expert"
It was common knowledge that enslavement path was very taxing on one's coffers. The rearing of high rank beasts was very expensive, particularly their feeding. Rank five beasts could never be satisfied by little amounts of rank four beast meat, even if they ate an entire rank four beast.
Na Qin Jie's pack had one rank five beast and over twenty rank four beasts. The rest were rank three and rank two. Such a force was enough to drown any Domain Formation realm force in their spit but against a Sky realm expert, Na Qin Jie's strength was surely lacking.
The only reason the Sky realm elders feared Na Qin Jie before was because of his ability to effectively attack martial practitioners weaker than him.
A single Sky realm expert could not easily kill a village worth of Domain Formation realm martial practitioners even if none of them was a match for him. But this was not the case for Na Qin Jie.
If he killed off all of the young generation of Na Clan, what then was the point of Na Clan's existence?
But, even so, Na Qin Jie's wolf pack was very small. The total number of White Horned Wolves did not even reach fifty. This was a very poor amount for an enslavement path expert.
