The highest cultivation level of the Xuanjizi was merely at the first stage of the Spirit Wheel Realm, while the others were even worse off, mostly lingering around the Innate Realm. If this Black-scaled Tiger truly decided to attack them, they would have no chance of survival.
Thinking about this, Chen Li couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Damn hedgehog! Once I escape, I'll skin you alive and turn you into a roasted hedgehog!"
In the distance, the hedgehog slowed down slightly, a glimmer of fear flashing in its small eyes. What kind of fate was this? How did it end up with such a person? Working hard only to be misunderstood? It seemed it needed to move even faster.
At the same time, the Black-scaled Tiger's scrutinizing gaze calmed down. It looked at everyone as if they were mere prey. Especially at the forefront, Chen Li seemed to exude an irresistible aroma of deliciousness. Without hesitation, it let out a thunderous roar and lunged towards Chen Li.
Chen Li felt a wave of foul wind rush towards him, and an overwhelming pressure enveloped him in an instant. It felt as if he had suddenly been burdened by a massive mountain, making it nearly impossible to breathe.
"Chen Li, be careful!" Yue Shan exclaimed in alarm, instinctively wanting to rush forward to help, but was pulled back by the Xuanjizi beside him.
"Don't be impulsive! Going up there is just asking for death!" The Xuanjizi's expression was grave; the Black-scaled Tiger's aura was far stronger than they had anticipated.
The others turned pale with fear and began to retreat, afraid of being caught in the crossfire. This was it; they were doomed! Why did this beast have to target Chen Li? What could they do to save him? The frail group was in a state of panic, but that powerful beastly pressure made it impossible for them to approach.
Especially after being imprisoned in the Demon Cave Prison for so long, their previous reserves were all gone. Now, faced with danger, they didn't even have a suitable spirit tool at hand.
In an instant, everyone was sweating profusely with anxiety.
Yue Shan looked anxiously at Xuanjizi and exclaimed, "Xuanjizi, are we just going to stand by and watch as Chen Li gets devoured by this beast?"
Xuanjizi furrowed his brow. "Stay back! I'll hold this creature off!" Among all of them, he had the strongest cultivation. Although he couldn't eliminate the Black-scaled Tiger, he could at least buy some time.
Just then, a series of whistling winds suddenly erupted from a nearby mountain peak, like a swarm of bees rushing through the air, sharp and piercing, speeding towards the Black-scaled Tiger. The surging Spiritual Energy poured in like a tidal wave, and even the Fifth-Order Beast, the Black-scaled Tiger, sensed the imminent danger.
Its claws, which were about to strike Chen Li, abruptly halted mid-air and retracted forcefully. Its crimson eyes reflected anger at being interrupted.
At that moment, Chen Li had activated all his defensive abilities. Surrounding him were layers of shields—three layers inside and three layers outside—radiating a dazzling array of colors. Even the Mystic Shield was stacked with two layers, making him look like a colorful cocoon.
Nervously, he drew out his rusted Broken Sword, bracing himself for the impending storm. However, the anticipated pain never came; instead, the terrifying pressure receded like a tide and shifted direction towards those behind him.
He widened his eyes in confusion. Through the defensive barrier, he saw the Black-scaled Tiger roaring deafeningly at a group of Cultivators behind him. Its fierce gaze seemed ready to swallow them whole.
Chen Li was stunned. Those Cultivators didn’t seem to be part of their group! Moreover, outside the mountain peak stood a dense crowd of people, each dressed in flowing robes that exuded an ethereal aura.
Looking at their noble and graceful appearance, Chen Li was somewhat dumbfounded. "Why are there spectators?" he muttered to himself.
Although they were a bit far away, he recognized their attire—it was unmistakably the emblematic clothing of the Three Major Sects. The moon-white robes of the Heavenly Dao Sect, the fiery red outfits of the Golden Sun Sect, and the moon-blue robes of the Holy Spirit Palace intertwined together like a unique landscape.
"What are the Three Major Sects doing here?" Yue Shan also glanced at the distant crowd, his expression darkening with displeasure and anger.
Xuanjizi's face grew serious as he said in a low voice, "Perhaps we’ve been set up. This Black-scaled Tiger was probably lured here on purpose by them. How insidious to watch us from afar!"
"You bunch of bastards! You actually used us as bait!" A tall man with a straightforward personality shouted, his eyes blazing with fury. His fists were clenched tightly, making a creaking sound.
They still dared to call themselves the Three Major Forces! Wanting to lead the cultivation world, how ridiculous!
The Palace-Dressed Woman also looked at the group of Cultivators with disgust, her eyes filled with flames of anger.
While everyone was indignant, no one noticed that behind the crowd of the Three Major Sects, a fist-sized black ball was darting through the throng at an incredible speed, finally landing precisely in Chen Li's embrace.
A sudden warmth enveloped Chen Li, causing him to lower his head. The hedgehog, which had previously been spiky, now sported soft fur, looking adorably fluffy. Its bright eyes sparkled with flattery and eagerness, as if it were being remotely controlled.
It was the Divine Beast Hedgehog that had fled earlier!
Chen Li looked down at the hedgehog in his arms, utterly speechless. This little guy sure could run fast; what was it doing back here now?
The hedgehog seemed to sense Chen Li's gaze, lifting its head to blink its small eyes at him before rubbing against his body. Then it turned to look at the panicked Cultivators of the Three Major Sects behind them, its claws flailing about.
The anxious display surprised both Chen Li and Shen Qingyue.
Chen Li vaguely sensed something was off. Before he could confirm it, Shen Qingyue spoke up first. "Has this little creature become sentient? It couldn’t have just run away; perhaps it intentionally lured that group of spectators out to create a diversion for you?"
Chen Li glanced at Shen Qingyue and then at the hedgehog, which seemed to understand Shen Qingyue's words.
Suddenly, the hedgehog's two front paws came together as if clapping, puffing out its round belly.
Chen Li was left speechless: "This really has become sentient!"
He felt a surge of curiosity; this little creature had started off covered in spikes and now appeared all fluffy. What kind of beast was it? Its intelligence was no less than that of humans!
The hedgehog seemed to sense Chen Li's praise in his heart and began scratching at Chen Li's clothes with its tiny paws. Its sparkling eyes were full of anticipation, as if asking: "You won't roast me over charcoal now, will you?"
