Deeper inside the cave, the team discovered the source of everything.
A massive Ice Flame Tiger lay motionless.
Even in death, its presence was overwhelming.
Faint traces of ice and flame energy still radiated from its body, creating a natural pressure that filled the cave.
Xu Mei's expression hardened. "This wasn't a natural death."
The wounds were clean.
Precise.
No signs of a prolonged struggle.
This was not the work of another beast.
This was the result of a powerful cultivator.
Li Hao stepped closer, his eyes narrowing.
This wasn't just a discovery.
It was a clue.
