Chapter 50: Demon Wolf Bai Qj, The Powerful Mahayana Dragon Tower
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the forest, evening.
As the carriage moved forward, the middle-aged martial artist riding at the front could not help but yawn. Then, he let go of the rope and stretched. He laughed loudly and said, “Brothers, we are about to reach the capital. Everyone, raise your spirits and strive to stop in front of the courtyard of Apricot Flower Restaurant. Tonight, you will be drunk and lie on the lap of a beauty.”
Hearing this, the escorts behind him cheered. As they walked forward, they chatted about the top hostess of Apricot Flower Restaurant.
The outline of the capital was already faintly discernible at the end of the forest.
Wu wu wu—
A cry that neither sounded like a human or a beast was heard, startling everyone to look around. “What’s that sound?”
“Is someone crying?”
“No, this voice doesn’t sound like a human. I heard that there are jackals in the nearby forest. Everyone, be careful.”
“Jackals? Hahaha, if they dare to approach, I’ll get the chefs of Apricot Flower Restaurant to add to the food tonight.”
The escorts did not care, but the middle-aged martial artist frowned. He was a first-rate expert who had traveled for thirty years and was experienced. This voice was definitely not human, nor was it a jackal.
It was very dangerous!
The middle-aged martial artist slowly drew his saber. His actions also made the other escorts serious. They drew their weapons and prepared to fight.
The convoy continued forward, but they had already slowed down, afraid that enemies would jump out of the forest on both sides.
After walking for about a hundred meters, the sky gradually darkened.
The road ahead was already a little dark. A woman in white suddenly ran out of the forest on the left. Her hair was disheveled, and she fell to the ground as soon as she entered the official road, revealing her fair legs. They were extremely conspicuous in the dark environment, and many escorts were stunned.
The woman in white raised her head, revealing an exquisite face. Her face was filled with fear as she shouted, “Brothers, come and help me. There are snakes in the forest and they scared me. My chest is so stuffy, so stuffy…”
Immediately, an escort drove his horse forward and smiled. “Miss, don’t panic. I’ll help you.”
The middle-aged martial artist suddenly raised his saber and stood in front of the escort, scaring him so much that he hurriedly stopped his horse. The escort turned his head and asked, “Boss, what’s wrong?”
His eyes were filled with resentment. Did Boss want to enjoy it alone?
“There’s something wrong with the other party. It’s very dangerous,” the middle-aged martial artist said coldly.
The white-robed woman complained, “Brother, how am I dangerous? Come and help me. I’m in so much pain.”
The escorts did not go overboard. They chose to believe in the middle-aged martial artist.
The white-robed woman’s expression changed when she saw this, and her face quickly transformed into that of a wolf or a fox. It was extremely terrifying, and it caused everyone’s expressions to change drastically. Before they could react, the white-robed woman suddenly rushed over.
The middle-aged martial artist leaped up and slashed with his saber. The saber light shone in the forest.
Bang!
The white-robed woman dodged his saber and struck his chest with her palm, shattering his sternum and sending him flying while vomiting blood.
A first-rate expert was defeated in one move!
This scene made the other escorts feel like their livers were about to end. This was the first time they had seen their boss lose so quickly.
They dismounted one after another and stood side by side in front of the convoy, watching nervously as the white-robed woman landed. The white-robed woman turned her head and revealed her wolf head. Her smile was sinister and cunning, making one’s hair stand on end.
“You’re smart, but you have to die.”
The white-robed woman sneered and charged at the escorts again.
Swoosh!
An air-piercing sound rang out as a wooden sword shot out from the forest at an extremely fast speed. The white-robed woman subconsciously dodged, but her cheek was still cut.
“Evil creature, don’t hurt anyone!”
A cold shout sounded. A figure used his lightness skill and quickly jumped from tree to tree, quickly attacking.
He landed in front of the escorts and waved his hand. In the next moment, the wooden sword magically landed in his hand.
This person wore a tattered gray robe and carried three scabbards on his back. However, his face was clean, which did not match his clothes. He held a wooden sword and did not say a word as he charged at the woman in white again.
The white-robed woman turned into a gust of black aura. Her white clothes fell to the ground, and the black aura condensed into a wolf head that roared as it rushed towards the gray-robed man.
Both sides fell into a fierce battle. The gray-robed man’s wooden sword could clearly injure the Black Wind Wolf Head, causing it to be unable to defeat him.
“Leave quickly!”
The gray-robed man shouted in a deep voice. Hearing this, the escorts suddenly woke up and immediately turned around. They packed up the convoy and helped the middle-aged martial artist up before rushing to another path.
“It’s you again, Lu Chengfeng. How long are you going to chase me?”
The Black Wind Wolf head let out a woman’s voice, its tone filled with resentment.
As Lu Chengfeng fought, he said, “It is our sect’s motto to subdue demons and devils. You evil creature, you have rushed all the way from the Western Region and killed countless innocent people. Today, I have finally caught up with you. I will definitely kill you!”
“Hmph, what do you mean by subduing demons? It’s just someone looking for your Heavenly Sect to offer a reward for my demon core!”
The Black Wind Wolf Head sneered and then turned into black fog that wrapped around Lu Chengfeng.
Lu Chengfeng kept waving his sword. Sword Qi swept across and cut down trees in all directions, but it could not dispel the black fog.
“I have absorbed so much mortal Yang Qi along the way. Lu Chengfeng, how can you defeat me?”
The Black Wind Wolf Head laughed wildly, and killing intent filled the forest.
The night was completely dark.
Lu Chengfeng continued to fight. As his true qi flowed out, he had a premonition that something was wrong. He wanted to escape, but there was nowhere to run. This black fog seemed to be endless as it covered his senses.
Pfft!
His left waist was suddenly cut open, and blood splattered, causing the black fog to surge even more violently.
A terrifying killing intent locked onto Lu Chengfeng. He knew that something was wrong. Just as he was about to use his ultimate technique, his chest suffered a heavy blow and his body flew out uncontrollably. He crashed into the hill and blood spurted out from his throat uncontrollably.
“I didn’t expect that I, Lu Chengfeng, would die at the hands of a wild beast…”
Lu Chengfeng gritted his teeth. He held the wooden sword with both hands and stood up with difficulty.
“Isn’t this the fate of the Heavenly Sect’s martial artists? It’s better than dying at the hands of a human martial artist!”
The voice of the Black Wind Wolf Head sounded again, its words filled with mockery.
The black fog suddenly condensed into a wolf head and appeared in front of him. It opened its bloody mouth and wanted to swallow him.
My life is over!
Lu Chengteng widened his eyes, his heart tilled with regret and unwillingness.
Suddenly, an ear-piercing sound tore through the air. The Black Wind Wolf Head in front of him exploded and was sucked away by a golden light. The golden light quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Lu Chengfeng stood rooted to the ground.
“What was that?”
Lu Chengfeng could not understand. He did not sense any other aura, but he saw that golden light clearly.
He hurriedly sat down and circulated his energy. He looked around nervously, afraid that it was a trick of a demon.
In Longqi Temple, on the branch of the Earth Spirit Tree, Jiang Changsheng lay against the tree trunk and admired the beautiful moonlight.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he saw a golden light appear in the moon. The golden light became larger and larger and flew towards him at an extremely fast speed. He raised his hand and caught the golden light with two fingers.
It was a golden leaf, but the patterns on the leaf resembled the arrangement of dragon scales. It was the Golden Scale Jade Leaf.
Jiang Changsheng got off the tree and returned to his house.
He sat on the bed and released the demon in the Golden Scale Jade Leaf. A gray wolf appeared on the ground. When it saw Jiang Changsheng, it subconsciously wanted to escape, but just as it turned its head, the Golden Scaled Jade Leaf hung in front of it, scaring it so much that it did not dare to move.
The gray wolf turned its head and prostrated itself on the ground. It covered its head with its claws and said nervously, “Senior, spare my life… Senior, spare my life… I won’t dare to do it again..
It was a woman’s voice. It was quite pleasant to the ears.
Jiang Changsheng was amused by the other party’s appearance. A wolf acting so much like a human was really comical.
He asked, “Why did you come to the capital? Don’t tell me you were just passing by.”
The gray wolf replied, “I followed the flow of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and sensed that there must be natural oddities here.”
Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows. So it was summoned by the Earth Spirit Tree.
It was normal. The Earth Spirit Tree released more and more spiritual energy.
When it grew, it would also absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Unlike martial artists who cultivated their inner strength and tempered their bodies, demon beasts relied on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate.
“Introduce yourself,” Jiang Changsheng said.
The gray wolf carefully opened one eye and stared nervously at Jiang Changsheng. It said, “My name is Bai Qi. I’m a wolf demon who has cultivated for a hundred years. I came from the Donglin Dynasty. A human expert wanted my demon core and offered a bounty for the Heavenly Sect to hunt me down, so I fled all the way here…” The Heavenly Sect?
Donglin Dynasty?
Jiang Changsheng was not aware of these places, so he asked them one by one. Bai Qi answered truthfully.
The Donglin Dynasty was extremely far away and was separated from the Jing Dynasty by four dynasties. As for the Heavenly Sect, it was a sect with a long history and specialized in exterminating demons.
“Are there any Golden Body realm experts in the Donglin Dynasty and the Heaven Sect?” Jiang Changsheng asked.
Bai Qi’s eyelids twitched and it said, “Senior, don’t joke around. The Golden Body realm is a legend. The expert who wanted me is only a True God realm expert in the Donglin Dynasty.”
When Jiang Changsheng heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness!
He was really afraid that there would be as many Golden Body realm experts and True God realm experts as dogs in the other dynasties. On second thought, it was impossible. If they were really that strong, the Mahayana Dragon Tower would have been annexed long ago.
“Do you know about the Mahayana Dragon Tower?” Jiang Changsheng asked.
Bai Qi raised its head and said, “I know! A powerful force that rules over the four dynasties. So Senior is from the Mahayana Dragon Tower. No wonder you’re so powerful…”
Just as it was about to step forward, the Golden Scale Jade Leaf appeared in front of it, scaring it into freezing in place.
When Jiang Changsheng heard this, he felt even more relaxed.
The stronger the Mahayana Dragon Tower was, the more at ease he would be.
Jiang Changsheng sized up Bai Qi. This wolf was a genuine Divine realm expert. Its demon core should be worth a lot. Otherwise, it would not have been chased by a True God realm expert for thousands of miles.
Bai Qi begged, “Senior, please spare my life… I will never absorb Yang Qi again…
Jiang Changsheng did not kill it immediately, which gave it a trace of hope. Jiang Changsheng asked curiously, “How do you absorb Yang Qi?”
Bai Qi said, “Just open your mouth and suck. How else can you absorb it?”
It seemed to have thought of something and said coquettishly, “Senior, don’t think too much. My true form is only a wolf. How can I do such a thing? I only need to knock someone unconscious and open my mouth to the top of their head to absorb Yang Qi.”
Jiang Changsheng felt a little awkward, but his expression did not change.
He raised his hand and cast a Seal of Life and Death towards Bai Qi. He said, “Since you are here, guard this place for ten years. After ten years, I will set you free. I will take it that you are atoning for your sins. Here, you are not allowed to injure anyone and vou are not allowed to transform into a human with demonic energy. Do you understand?”
Bai Qi was extremely afraid and did not understand what the Seal of Life and Death was. However, the other party’s true qi was abnormally terrifying. It had never encountered such powerful true qi. Even the True God realm expert of the Donglin Dynasty was not so powerful.
“Thank you for your forgiveness, Senior…”
Bai Qi whispered. Jiang Changsheng took back the Golden Scale Jade Leaf and sat down to cultivate.
Seeing this, Bai Qi walked to the bed and lay down to calm itself down.
[In the 5th year of the Zhen Yu Era, Demon Beast Bai Qi wanted to enter the capital but was successfully subdued by you. You survived a calamity and obtained a survival reward—Miscellaneous Technique, Heavenly Item Pill Manual.]
Jiang Changsheng, who had his eyes closed, saw this notification. It was actually a pill manual. He was secretly delighted. He, who was proficient in pill refinement but did not have a pill manual, could only explore on his own. And most of the time, he would fail.
With Bai Qi beside him, he could not immediately inherit the pill manual. In any case, he was not in a hurry.
The next morning.
Jiang Changsheng brought Bai Qi to the courtyard. When Wang Chen saw Bai Qi, he was greatly surprised and asked, “Daoist Master, where did this wolf come from? It’s so handsome!”
Under the morning sun, Bai Qi’s grayish-white fur looked extremely lustrous and handsome.
Hearing Wang Chen’s praise, Bai Qi raised its head proudly, but in the next second, its gaze was attracted by White Dragon.
Snake Demon!
No wonder it could survive. This Daoist priest actually liked to raise demons.
It had to be careful in the future. It hoped that he did not have any special hobbies.
Bai Qi thought to itself. Then, its gaze fell on the Earth Spirit Tree and its eyes became blurry.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “I went out for a stroll last night and picked it up. In the future, it will stay behind to guard our courtyard and play with
White Dragon.”
Wang Chen did not think too much about it and continued sweeping the floor.
At this moment, Ling Xiao ran into the courtyard and said anxiously, “Master, another Grandmaster has come to challenge us!”
