Bai Li Hong Zhuang and the others swiftly rushed forward.
Fortunately, they had discovered a hidden cave earlier, believing that no cultivators would know about it. They only needed to take shelter there.
They were fully aware that if they were caught up by other cultivators, it would be a real battle.
They understood that the cultivators from the other dynasties would quickly figure out that something was amiss if they carefully thought about it. Ever since the appearance of the demonic beast horde, they had vanished from sight.
Connecting all the events, the answer was obvious.
As for encountering other teams of cultivators later on, they paid no attention to it.
If they had to fight, then so be it!
The cultivators from the Tengang Dynasty had never feared any other dynasty throughout their journey.
After Bai Li Hong Zhuang and the others had been gone for some time, the cultivators from the three major dynasties returned to the original location.
However, after a thorough search, they found that the Wind Spirit Tiger and its cubs were nowhere to be seen.
"Damn it! What the hell happened earlier? We were inexplicably chased by a group of demonic beasts, and even the prey we had in our hands flew away!" Fang Wencheng sat on the ground, his face filled with anger. He felt that this was the unluckiest day of his life.
Not only had he been exhausted from being besieged by so many demonic beasts, but he had also suffered numerous injuries.
The most important thing was that the Wind Spirit Tiger's cubs were missing, and he had no idea what had happened.
"This situation is too strange," Yu Junfei furrowed his brows. He had lived for so many years and had never encountered such a bizarre situation. It was truly mind-boggling.
"We must have fallen into someone's trap," Cheng Hefeng pondered. When they were fleeing, they had also encountered other cultivators on the way, but those demonic beasts seemed to have specifically targeted them, attacking only them and ignoring the other cultivators.
This alone proved many things—they had been set up.
"What trap could we have fallen into?" Fang Wencheng wore a puzzled expression. He hadn't noticed anything happening from start to finish. It simply didn't add up.
While the cultivators from the three major dynasties were puzzled, many other teams also returned to the original location.
Upon realizing that the cubs were missing, they immediately looked towards the three major dynasties' group.
Feeling the gazes of the others, Fang Wencheng coldly said, "What are you all looking at? If we had obtained the Wind Spirit Tiger cubs, would we still be staying here?"
Upon hearing his words, the other cultivators also understood. They could only smile bitterly, never expecting to lose the opportunity to obtain the cubs like this.
Cheng Hefeng and Yu Junfei looked at the returning cultivators and an idea popped into their minds.
"Let's wait here. Any cultivator who was pursued by the demonic beasts will surely come back. If any team doesn't return, then the problem most likely lies with them."
Hearing Cheng Hefeng's suggestion, Fang Wencheng and Yu Junfei's eyes brightened. "That's right, it's a good plan!"
As everyone sat and waited, more and more returning cultivators arrived. It was only after the majority of cultivators had gathered that they realized one dynasty's team had not returned.
