On this page, what is drawn is not a person, but a fierce tiger!
Name: George Parker!
Identity: A tiger that became a demon, accepted as a disciple under Elder Charles Bennett of Swallowing Yin Mountain, ranked fourth. Called a disciple, but in truth, a mount.
Cultivation: Qi Refining Realm, peak.
Talent: Consumes human flesh and blood, refines human souls, turning them into chang ghosts to be commanded at will.
Deeds: The fierce tiger gained intelligence, became a great demon, wreaked havoc for a hundred years, often slaughtering entire villages. Later subdued by Elder Charles Bennett of Swallowing Yin Mountain, followed Charles Bennett into the territory of the Great Xia, motives unknown, whereabouts unknown.
“George Parker?”
Samuel Brooks felt a stir in his heart, opened the hunting register, and turned to page nineteen.
Chapter 006: The Great Tiger Demon! George Parker!
Name: Charles Bennett.
Identity: Elder of Swallowing Yin Mountain.
Cultivation: Spirit Refining Realm, mastery.
Abilities: Proficient in the secret arts of Swallowing Yin Mountain, skilled at seizing souls, fond of killing and refining souls, extracting essence blood and flesh, refining ghostly spirits.

Half a month ago, together with another elder of Swallowing Yin Mountain, Mo Gui, joined forces at the border to kill thirteen red-clad demon-slaying officials from the Demon Hunter Bureau, then led his three personal disciples to escape into the Great Xia territory, whereabouts unknown.
“……”
Samuel Brooks looked at the portrait below.
Clad in black robes, face covered with a black scarf.
Only a pair of cold, terrifying eyes were visible.
But from the wrinkles around the eyes, one could vaguely judge that this person was old, not in the prime of youth.
Samuel Brooks then looked at the last column and murmured, “Swallowing Yin Mountain? Charles Bennett? Spirit Refining Realm?”
In the past two days, based on the fragmented memories of his previous self, along with the records in the hunting register about various demons, he had roughly figured out the cultivation hierarchy of this world.
Cultivators in this world are generally divided into three major realms: Essence Refining, Qi Refining, and Spirit Refining.
Each major realm, due to differences in cultivation methods, depth of foundation, and strength, is further divided into different levels: Initial, Minor Achievement, Mastery, and Peak.
The Spirit Refining Realm is already among the upper echelons of cultivators!
And mastery in the Spirit Refining Realm is even more outstanding within that realm!
“Have they already set their sights on me?”
Samuel Brooks muttered softly.
There were no detailed records on the Demon Hunting List, but the hunting register of the Jiuxiao Immortal Sect recorded everything clearly.
The demonic cultivator Qiufeng, whom he had slain earlier, was one of the three disciples who followed Charles Bennett into the Great Xia, ranked seventh.
And George Parker, ranked fourth, could refine the souls of those he devoured, turning them into chang ghosts.
The three yin spirits before him, born in such a strange manner, should be the legendary chang ghosts, handiwork of George Parker.
Did George Parker learn of this by chance and come to avenge his junior?
Or had Charles Bennett already learned of it and sent George Parker here?
If it was just George Parker, this great demon at the peak of Qi Refining, Samuel Brooks felt he could handle it.
But if it was Charles Bennett, a master at the height of Spirit Refining, targeting him, that would be serious trouble.
“Samuel Brooks?”
The little bear, seeing him lost in thought for a while, quickly called out softly.
Samuel Brooks was silent for a moment, then said, “According to legend, a fierce tiger commands chang ghosts, the distance is uncertain, but it cannot exceed the range of three mountains!”
At present, the enemy is hidden while he is exposed, which is extremely disadvantageous.
He grabbed the little bear by the neck and lifted it up.
“You too are a fierce beast of the mountains, most sensitive in the forest.”
“The mastermind behind these three ghostly beings should be a tiger demon.”
“The tiger demon is not far from here, only within the range of three mountains.”
“You can’t defeat it, but I want you to find it!”
Samuel Brooks tossed out his hand and said, “Go, use your talent to search for its traces in the forest and find the direction where it is hiding.”
——
Ten miles away.
At the edge of a cliff.
The moonlight was clear, its radiance like water.
A striped great tiger could be seen gazing into the distance.
It stood over ten feet tall, its eyes gleaming with a human-like spirit.
“In an instant, three chang ghosts were destroyed.”
A look of contemplation appeared in the tiger’s eyes, and it thought to itself, “At least mastery in the Qi Refining Realm, most likely at the peak of Qi Refining, but probably not yet at the Spirit Refining Realm.”
If he had reached the Spirit Refining Realm, he could have used the three chang ghosts just now to lock onto me with his spiritual sense.
Master had ordered it to investigate here, but not to act rashly, so it had left itself a way out during this test.
If this young Daoist was truly a Spirit Refining master toying with the world, it would sever its tail to survive, abandoning ten years of cultivation, leaving the opponent’s spiritual sense on the severed tail, thus allowing itself to escape.
It itself was at the peak of Qi Refining, while this young Daoist should be at mastery in Qi Refining, at most at the peak.
If it struck now to avenge the seventh disciple, there was still some hope.
Even if both were at the peak of Qi Refining, its skills were not as good as those of a true Daoist disciple, but at the same level, escaping would not be difficult.
Thinking this, it pondered for a while longer.
In the end, it gave up the idea of avenging the seventh disciple.
“Forget it, that seventh one always looked down on me for being a demon, not worth risking my life for him.”
“The Demon Hunter Bureau is in hot pursuit, and the hunting list has been issued. Better not make things more complicated.”
