Vol.1 – Chapter 42 – Zanglin Mountain


“?” Chu Liang had a question mark on his forehead.

Oh my god, he had encountered Cao Mengde of the Demon Realm.

“There’s no way, he has a strong influence in Zanglin Mountain, and I can only submit to him.” Cat King said, “I don’t want to force my little sister, but Tiger King said before he left that he would prepare for the wedding when he got back. He will come to marry my little sister in three days. If he can’t see her then, he will get angry…”

Chu Liang looked at Ming Madam again and asked, “Didn’t you say you received an imperial decree from Shu Mountain?”

“My little sister told me that we could seek help from Shu Mountain, but… I dare not.” Cat King shook his head and said, “We, the mountain monsters, are most afraid of you cultivators… We not only dare not harm people, but we also have to rescue those who get lost, injured, or drowned in the mountains. We are afraid that if someone dies in the mountains, you humans will suspect that it was done by monsters and come to hunt us down for no reason.”

Chu Liang could understand his dilemma.

The common view of humans towards demons was still that they were enemies, and there were many who would kill them on sight.

Some unscrupulous cultivators would even kill demons for materials such as refining medicine or souls. After all, killing humans was illegal, but killing demons had no legal protection.

All these things would deepen the fear of these monsters towards cultivators.

But the fear of humans towards demons has been around for a long time.

The evil deeds of any group were committed by a small part of the group. But the entire group often had to bear the consequences.

Monsters like the Eastern Mountain Cat Clan, who lived in the cracks, were not few in number.

“I don’t know about others, but at least our Shu Mountain Sect is reasonable.” Chu Liang could only say that.

“Ah…” Cat King shook his head again. “If you take my little sister away tonight, and tomorrow the team that Tiger King sent to welcome his bride arrives, the Eastern Mountain Cat Clan will definitely be slaughtered. If you really want to help us, take my little sister and leave quickly. We can have a little more time to escape.”

He looked at the little followers behind him and said, “I just don’t know if we can survive after leaving this area.”

Chu Liang pondered for a moment.

Leaving one’s hometown was perhaps difficult to accept emotionally. But for monsters looking for a new habitat, it was likely to be accompanied by bloody battles and was indeed dangerous.

They needed food, shelter, and a suitable environment, which could not be found just anywhere in the wilderness.

Also…

“Are there many monsters under Tiger King’s command?” Chu Liang suddenly asked.

“Zanglin Mountain is the largest monster force within a hundred miles of Xingzhou City, and there may be hundreds of little monsters under Tiger King’s command.” Cat King replied.

“What is Tiger King’s cultivation level?” Chu Liang asked again.

“He has been cultivating for seven or eight hundred years, and according to the classification of your humans, he should be a monster of the fourth or fifth realm.” Cat King said.

“If…” Chu Liang said slowly, “If I help you get rid of Tiger King, will that solve all your problems?”

“This… this…” Cat King was suspicious and did not know what Chu Liang was thinking.

Although he was confident in his own abilities, he couldn’t possibly be Tiger King’s opponent, could he?

Of course, Chu Liang did not have any thoughts of seeking death.

The reason why he dared to have this idea was mainly because of the jade talisman given to him by his master. As long as he could summon Di Nvfeng, no matter how many subordinates Tiger King had, he could kill him and send his soul and spirit away, leaving the wolves, worms, tigers and leopards with nowhere to hide…

And this time, he had not gained anything from going out. It was not considered a mission from the sect, nor had he killed any monsters.The Dongshan Cat Clan is a group of kind and harmless little demons, and it’s impossible to kill a few of them for rewards.

It’s equivalent to coming for nothing.

Taking Lady Ming away will indirectly harm these little cat demons.

Considering various factors, it’s better to go directly to the demon beasts in the Canglin Mountain and eliminate them. There are all arrogant and domineering evil demons there. If you can kill a few and get some rewards, it’s also worth the trip.

Of course, the most important thing is to punish evil and promote good.

Hmm.

With this in mind, Chu Liang smiled slightly at the Cat King, “Since I asked like this, naturally, I have a certain degree of confidence in dealing with him. As long as you are willing to help me, I can save your sister, how about it?”

“I’m willing!” The Cat King looked at Chu Liang’s calm and composed face and felt that this person was indeed trustworthy. His eyes showed sincere gratitude, and he nodded heavily, “But can you please untie this rope for me first?”

Canglin Mountain.

Located 120 miles east of Xingzhou City, the mountain is high and the valley is deep, and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the early years, it was a place where bandits and robbers were rampant. Later, the nearby roads gradually became deserted, and the strong men on the mountain gradually dissipated. I don’t know when it became a gathering place for monsters and demons again.

Today, in this vast deep mountain, there is actually a noisy sound of gongs and drums, which can be heard outside the mountain.

If you climb up the steep slope and reach the top of the mountain, you can see that there are actually hundreds of little demons shouting and screaming on the vast open space below, some of them even wearing red and colorful clothes and holding drumming instruments.

It looks very festive.

These are not only the little demons in the Canglin Mountain, but also the demon kings within a hundred miles who have a good relationship, because today is the day when the Tiger King of the Canglin Mountain gets married.

The Tiger King is powerful and has become the largest demon king in the surrounding area in just a few years after coming to the Canglin Mountain. He usually likes to rob women, and there are dozens of wives in his cave, but this time he is making a big fuss.

The surrounding little demon kings all know that the Tiger King has been wandering around recently, wanting to incorporate the scattered demon clan forces around him. This gathering is more of a show of the Tiger King’s power than a wedding.

Soon, a grand procession came forward.

At the forefront was a huge elephant with a big red flower ball on its head. On the elephant’s back was a towering giant, more than ten feet tall, with a full black beard. Although he was wearing a groom’s clothes, he still couldn’t conceal his murderous aura. He was the Tiger King!

The team behind him was a group of little demons divided into two rows, blowing and beating, and eight little demons in the middle carrying a big red flower sedan chair.

The bride sitting in the sedan chair is said to be a little cat demon from the Dongshan Cat Clan. However, most of the monsters present have never heard of this Dongshan Cat Clan.

The few monsters from the bride’s family who followed at the end of the welcoming team seemed to be from the Dongshan area. The Cat King at the front looked miserable, and the other one or two behind him looked inconspicuous and should be some unknown little demons.

However…

Among the few little demons from the Dongshan Cat Clan, there seemed to be one that was different.

I saw him standing upright, although he was also covered in fur and had a cat-like appearance, but there was a hint of elegance and amiability in his walking.

Moreover…

His eyes were not like other cat demons, full of complex emotions such as fear, admiration, and awe…but rather shining with anticipation.

Like looking at a treasure.
