Most of the Demonic Beasts from the Winged Tiger Clan were currently gathered outside the treasure trove, locked in battle with the Poisonous Bees.

As Wang Hong burst out from the treasure trove, many of the Winged Tiger Clan's Demonic Beasts noticed him and attempted to pursue, only to be hindered by countless Poisonous Bees, rendering them unable to catch up.

Only a few managed to break free from the grasp of the Poisonous Bees and chased after Wang Hong.

Ignoring the pursuing Demonic Beasts, Wang Hong headed straight for the cave mansion of the Winged Tiger Clan's ancestor.

The cave mansion of the Winged Tiger Clan's ancestor was situated atop a Large-sized Spirit Vein and was fortified by a powerful formation.

Upon reaching the exterior of the cave mansion, the remaining pursuing Demonic Beasts caught up, joined by some who were originally stationed there, and together they encircled Wang Hong.

Still, he did not make a move, instead releasing thousands of Poisonous Bees to engage the Demonic Beasts in battle.

The defensive formation of the cave mansion was stronger than that of the treasure trove, prompting Wang Hong to once again summon three crimson beads.

The beads simultaneously burst open, releasing the Golden Crow Fire, which slowly burned and adhered to the formation, seemingly unable to break it in the short term.

During the wait, Wang Hong turned to look at the battle behind him.

These Poisonous Bees did not need to kill their opponents; their stingers contained potent venom, and injecting enough of it into their adversaries would paralyze them, rendering them powerless to resist.

Soon, one by one, the Demonic Beasts fell, and although more were approaching from a distance, their numbers were dwindling.

At this moment, a breach finally appeared in the Large Formation outside the Winged Tiger Clan ancestor's cave mansion. Wang Hong's figure flashed, disappearing into the formation. As he entered, the flames gradually extinguished, and the breach in the formation closed once more.

Inside the cave mansion, Wang Hong was met with a grand hall, where some desks were arranged, likely used for receiving guests on ordinary days.

He walked straight through the grand hall, leading to another grand building behind it, which exuded an imposing presence, comparable to Wang Hong's own palace.

Wang Hong headed directly towards the most grand-looking hall in the middle.

The door was easily pushed open, and as he stepped into the hall, the first thing that caught his eye was rows of armored soldiers, numbering at least five hundred.

These soldiers were all clad in armor, armed with weapons, and their eyes were closed, as if in a deep slumber, standing silently within the hall.

After Wang Hong entered the hall, the front row of soldiers suddenly opened their crimson eyes, fixing their gaze on him.

Subsequently, all the soldiers in the hall opened their eyes, staring at Wang Hong with a predatory intent.

The aura of over five hundred individuals surged simultaneously, some wielding weapons and charging directly at Wang Hong.

Others shot beams of light from their weapons at him, and a few even emitted beams of light directly from their eyes.

Wang Hong couldn't comprehend these Cultivation Techniques, as he had never heard of techniques that involved shooting beams of light from the eyes to harm others.

Facing this onslaught of attacks, Wang Hong's expression changed slightly.

Although most of these five hundred individuals were only at the Foundation Building cultivation level, with a few at the Golden Core cultivation level, the sheer number posed a threat.

However, he did not summon his leaf-shaped magic weapon. From the moment he entered the Winged Tiger Clan, he had no intention of using Spiritual Power and revealing his Human Clan identity.

Suddenly confronted with this relentless barrage of attacks, the results of his long-term body refining became evident.

Countless attacks rained down on him like droplets, leaving only minor dents and craters on his body, much like raindrops falling on a person, inflicting limited harm.

At this moment, a wooden staff appeared in Wang Hong's hand, and with a sweeping motion, he struck several of the soldiers who had lunged at him.

The current few armored soldiers suddenly bore tremendous force and burst open one after another. Instead of the expected blood rain, various parts scattered all over the ground.

These soldiers turned out to be Puppets, with appearances identical to real people, completely achieving a lifelike deception.

As soon as Wang Hong entered the Great Hall, he only managed to glance around hastily and did not carefully probe each soldier with his Divine Sense.

In fact, a Cultivator's Divine Sense can penetrate barriers, directly see through clothing, and even see through the physical body.

However, in reality, apart from some perverts, few Cultivators would often do this. Firstly, it's impolite, and it's also easy to offend people.

This kind of thing is often a privilege of high-tier Cultivators over low-tier Cultivators. Some disrespectful elders often like to thoroughly and openly scrutinize low-tier Cultivators from inside out, all-round, and blatantly.

Low-tier Cultivators often dare to be angry but not speak out, and can only avoid or wear several layers of defensive robes.

After discovering that these soldiers were all Puppets, Wang Hong showed a little restraint when he took action again, as long as he could deal with their combat effectiveness.

He also wanted to subdue a few of them and take them back for careful study.

This Winged Tiger Clan had occupied the territory of the former Thousand Crafts Pavilion, which was skilled in refining tools and Puppet-making methods.

Wang Hong still remembered that he had bought Puppets in Qianqiao City before. However, the Thousand Crafts Pavilion strictly controlled Puppets above the Foundation Building level.

He had tried hard to buy several Foundation Building Puppets at that time, but ultimately failed. He didn't expect that now it had become cheap for the Demon Clan.

The battle continued, and under Wang Hong's repeated attacks, numerous soldiers lost their weapons.

In the absence of anyone commanding them, these soldiers became at a loss after losing their weapons, not knowing what to do.

In the end, only a few Golden Core Stage Puppets were still attacking Wang Hong recklessly.

In order to preserve these few Puppets as intact as possible, Wang Hong endured the attacks and carefully searched for the location where these Puppets were installed with Spirit Stones.

Any Puppet must be driven by Spiritual Energy to function normally. He only needed to remove the Spirit Stones from the Puppets now.

At this moment, a Golden Core Puppet shot a beam of light at him. Wang Hong disregarded it and endured the blow, then his figure flashed and appeared beside the Puppet.

His hand reached out and grabbed a large piece of flesh from the Puppet's chest, discovering a cavity underneath filled with medium-grade Spirit Stones.

With a surge of Spiritual Power, he grabbed all the Spirit Stones from inside.

After losing the support of Spiritual Energy, this Puppet instantly lost its power and became motionless like a sculpture.

Next, Wang Hong used the same method to subdue the other Golden Core Puppets one by one.

After subduing all these Puppets, Wang Hong now had no time to study them. He collected them all, including the scattered parts on the ground.

Only then did he have the mind to survey this Great Hall. He saw that this Great Hall connected to several passages, each leading to other buildings.

He randomly chose a passage and walked into another building.

The scene before him surprised Wang Hong. Inside, there were rows of bookshelves filled with Jade Scrolls and other books.

The main reason for his surprise was that it was the first time he had seen a Demonic Beast who enjoyed studying.

The world is truly vast, with all kinds of creatures in it.
