Chapter 1352 - 1347: Fiery Flame Demon Tiger
This company is a company registered in the United States, and it is an investment fund company.
Tang Yumeng frowned deeply. How could this fund be connected to this company, and what relationship does Mu Bai have with this company?
Seeing Tang Yumeng's expression, Gao Xiaoxiao seemed to have already guessed what Tang Yumeng was thinking and said, "Yumeng, I've already helped you find out some information about this company."
Tang Yumeng uttered a sound and said to Gao Xiaoxiao, "Thank you."
At this moment, Liu Tiansi handed over another document. Tang Yumeng took it and looked at it carefully.
This investment fund company is registered in the United States under the name Chuanheng Investment, and the legal representative is a person named Mu Yun. According to the information provided by Gao Xiaoxiao, the business of this investment company is basically all related to finance.
In other words, this investment company deals only with high-risk investments, and almost all investment projects are related to stocks.
The investment company's name is Chuanheng, and the "Chuan" in front must represent Lin Chuan. This was Tang Yumeng's first thought when she saw it.
She remembered Lin Chuan telling her that when Song Ming handed over this fund to him, he entrusted it to Mu Bai for management. But then something happened, Mu Bai died, and the whereabouts of the fund became unknown.
Now, the fund has suddenly appeared and is related to Chuanheng Investment. What is the mystery within, and what is the relationship between Mu Yun and Mu Bai?
This mystery can perhaps only be revealed by uncovering the identity of Mu Yun.
"Xiao Xiao, can you help me check the records of the legal representative Mu Yun of this company?" Tang Yumeng looked up at Gao Xiaoxiao after a moment.
Gao Xiaoxiao said, "The identity of this person is very secretive; no one knows who he is, not even the management of this company."
Tang Yumeng was taken aback, hearing such a thing for the first time. A company's owner hasn't even met the management. She said, "How is that possible?"
Before Gao Xiaoxiao could speak, Liu Tiansi said, "It is indeed like this. This investment fund company's operations are handed over to the managers below, and the legal representative Mu Yun has never appeared. According to the management, everything they do is directly arranged by Mu Yun through emails or phone calls."
...
Lin Chuan was filled with curiosity, following a group of Ghost Gate disciples into the stone cave. At this moment, he suddenly received a message from Zhang Wenhui: "Lin Chuan, there is an exotic beast in this stone cave that you must help them eliminate. If this creature manages to escape, it would spell disaster for the mortal world."
Receiving the information sent by Zhang Wenhui, Lin Chuan was taken aback. It turns out so many Ghost Gate disciples have come to this stone cave to eliminate an exotic beast.
The group wasn't surprised by the appearance of the Flame Pond. Their expressions were very solemn, mixed with some fear.
Standing on the rolling lava was a massive, flame-red figure. It was a tiger, a giant tiger emanating with flames all over.
"This is... the Fiery Flame Demon Tiger!" Lin Chuan's expression turned grave. Although he didn't know about the Fiery Flame Demon Tiger earlier, the information in his mind now is beyond comparison. Thus, upon seeing that flame giant tiger, he immediately understood. No wonder he was puzzled earlier as to why that beast couldn't come out; it turns out the Fiery Flame Demon Tiger couldn't leave the Flame Pond.
"That's right, fellow disciples, this is the exotic beast Fiery Flame Demon Tiger. Its strength is confined to the Flame Pond, so it cannot leave there. Of course, in the Flame Pond, we must also be careful. Although this Fiery Flame Demon Tiger has been severely injured, its strength remains formidable. So, we must be cautious, seize the opportunity, and then make our move!" At this time, the youth in front spoke to the people behind him.
Lin Chuan stood at the back, his gaze fixed on the Fiery Flame Demon Tiger in the Flame Pond. The solemnity in his eyes did not dissipate. Despite the Fiery Flame Demon Tiger being severely injured, based on the current situation of these people, the idea of worsening its injuries undoubtedly presents massive challenges.
Of course, attempting to kill the Fiery Flame Demon Tiger is undoubtedly as difficult as climbing to the heavens for these people.
As everyone was lost in thought, the Fiery Flame Demon Tiger on the flames suddenly let out a roar, and its figure dashed forward. The overwhelming flame and lava rushed towards everyone on the shore. These lavas contained the intense power of firelight, and despite everyone's cultivation, they dared not touch it lightly, only cautiously avoiding it.
In an instant, everyone activated their True Qi and scattered in all directions. When the lava fell to the ground, it immediately emitted a burst of white smoke, causing everyone to feel a chill in their hearts.
The Demon Tiger had already rushed over, its giant claws smashing onto the ground, causing tremors in the cave. "Boom!" At this moment, it punched fiercely, causing a pillar of firelight to explode and strike inside the cave.
"Move aside!" the leading young man urgently shouted. Hearing the command, the two disciples under the firelight hurriedly moved to the sides, but they were still too late. The huge pillar of fire suddenly exploded, with massive blasts of air and impact hitting them.
In an instant, they didn't even have time to scream before they were engulfed by the overwhelming magma, turning into flames.
This scene happened in the blink of an eye. By the time everyone realized it, it was already too late. The Demon Tiger's attack instantly killed two disciples, showing that its power was truly unimaginable.
"Everyone, attack together!" At this moment, the leading young man quickly reacted, rushing toward the Demon Tiger.
Though the Demon Tiger was powerful, it had now left the Flame Pond and was on the shore, which was when it could exert the most strength. This was also the disciples' best chance to inflict significant damage on it. Even if they couldn't cause immense harm, as long as they kept the Demon Tiger on the shore longer, their chances improved.
Upon hearing this, the remaining people charged at the Demon Tiger. Lin Chuan also surged forward, with his hand forming the shape of a palm and the sky-blue True Qi vigorously rising, light and shadow dancing on his hand, before he fiercely struck the Demon Tiger.
The light-infused palm slammed heavily on the Demon Tiger, producing a muffled sound, and the Demon Tiger roared at the sky.
"Quick, attack it!" At this point, the surrounding disciples also charged forward. They unleashed their strongest moves, blasting the Demon Tiger ferociously.
The muffled sounds resonated as powerful True Qi explosions erupted. Around the Demon Tiger, layers of firelight flickered, and it repeatedly roared! At this time, several powerful firelight pillars spewed forth from the Demon Tiger's mouth, aiming at the surrounding people.
The massive pillars of fire crashed heavily in the cave. Waves of terrifying heat swept towards everyone, forcing them to retreat rapidly. In a short time, the violent heat wave dissipated, but when everyone looked back at the Demon Tiger, a hint of surprise crossed their eyes.
They saw that the previously fierce Demon Tiger was now rushing towards the Flame Pond. It seemed it truly couldn't stay onshore for long!
"Everyone, seize the chance and attack it!" the leading young man shouted, and his figure rushed out immediately.
Everyone knew that the Demon Tiger's strength was at its lowest now, and once it returned to the Flame Pond, attacking it would become far more difficult.
Several figures dashed out of the cave, and the group unleashed their strongest battle techniques, fiercely attacking the Demon Tiger.
The Demon Tiger halted, and its shimmering fiery body bore numerous scars left by the group.
Lin Chuan also charged out, launching a fierce palm strike at the Demon Tiger. A black light pillar suddenly coalesced, with countless black light palms pounding the Demon Tiger.
Accompanied by the Demon Tiger's roars, streams of firelight exploded outwards. The cave was engulfed in intense firelight, the Demon Tiger's shrill wails echoing, the massive figure shimmering with continuous firelight.
The Demon Tiger opened its mouth wide, where volcanic magma furiously converged, and finally, with a shudder, a vast mass of molten lava burst forth from its mouth.
"Brothers, be careful!" The leading young man's expression changed, becoming serious. Everyone's hearts tightened as they gathered True Qi and retreated.
The loud sound, along with the spreading lava firelight, unleashed a violent aura throughout the cave. Seeing the fierceness of the Demon Tiger's attack, Lin Chuan retreated with Murong Xue.
"Mu Hua, Chen Lie, Li Peng, quickly…" the retreating young leader shouted towards the center of the firelight, where three struggling figures were making their escape.
But before he could finish, the massive all-encompassing flame light engulfed the three. The crowd's expressions changed, sorrow flickering in their eyes. The lava flood gradually subsided, but their mission was not over!
Mu Hua and the others were swallowed by the lava flood, leaving a wound in everyone's hearts. Even though they weren't closely connected in their daily lives, they were all disciples of the Ghost Gate.
However, the mission to block the Demon Tiger had yet to be completed. In the previous encounter, the Demon Tiger had taken advantage of its momentum and retreated, returning to the Flame Pond, leaving everyone with no way to stop it.
The remaining ten people gathered, standing about ten zhang away from the Flame Pond, gazing at the Demon Tiger that had vanished into the flames, their expressions solemn and grave.
A gentle, warm jade hand appeared in his palm, holding him tightly. Lin Chuan also grasped Murong Xue's hand, turning to her with a smile, understanding something from the look in her eyes.
"Everyone, since the Demon Tiger is hiding under flames, I'll lure it out. When the time comes, make sure to seize the opportunity, so we can complete the mission!" Lin Chuan stepped forward, addressing everyone.
