Chapter 631: The Mountain-Guarding Divine Beasts of Luoyue Peak
In many sects, they actually keep some suppressed Demon Beasts to serve as mountain-guarding beasts, referring to them as Sect-Protecting Divine Beasts.
The Divine Path Sect, however, does not have this custom and does not keep any Demon Beasts to guard the mountain.
But when it comes down to it, even the sect itself was actually founded by the ancestor of Demon Beasts; perhaps this could also be considered a kind of rebellion against the Heaven.
In fact, according to the original development, if Ren Yidao had not been forced to change his mind and appear before the world, and had instead continued to hide at home and cultivate slowly, he might have eventually become an old monster hidden within the Divine Path Sect, becoming a Sect-Protecting Divine Beast in the true sense.
It is just a pity that Sikong Yu did not need Ren Yidao to be a mountain-guarding beast, and what this world needs is not a salted-fish little fox.
Thus, the Sect Master kicked Ren Yidao out of his comfortable living environment, forcing him onto this path of no return that works the world's prodigies to death.
To a certain extent, the source of all the suffering of the prodigies of this world is merely because of Sikong Yu's persistence.
Although he trusts the old guy and feels that He should not be lying to him, regarding the matters of the ancient times, he still needs to learn more from others before he can have his own judgment.
Ren Yidao was a bit puzzled at the time, not puzzled that there was a second choice, but puzzled why the Hunyuan Heavenly Girl would deliberately tell him this?
And the Hunyuan Heavenly Girl's explanation was just as calm as before:
"I watched you grow up."
"Hmph, on what grounds are you not letting me participate too?"
Later on, they would fight almost every once in a while; each time the Yellow Sand Tiger would be miserably defeated, and then be let go.
Ren Yidao did not disturb his disciple who was engrossed in cultivation and the little girl who was blatantly peeking from the side; he first returned to his Cave Abode, intending to have a good cuddle with his long-lost home first.
Then, he discovered the oddity of the three Demon Beasts present.
Everyone has little secrets, family members are the same, and there is no need to get to the bottom of things with them, nor should one do so.
At the beginning, the Yellow Sand Tiger also felt that this seemed to be a trap, but in the end, it could not overcome its desire for freedom, believed his nonsense, ran back to its lair in one breath, and that man really did not pursue it as he had said.
Thus they had a fight, and the result was naturally that the fledgling Yellow Sand Tiger was miserably defeated, thinking that its demon life was about to end just like that.
But things in the world are unpredictable; that man ultimately did not wait for that day to come.
But he had never thought that the other party would propose this suggestion from the identity of a sect elder.
At this moment, at the waist of Luoyue Peak, there were exactly three Demon Beasts outside Ren Yidao's Cave Abode.
That's not right, shouldn't you little fellow be at Wentian?
How... tsk, I know, it must have been that time Jing Yueqin secretly kidnapped her back.
But that person, not knowing what kind of psychology they had, actually let the Yellow Sand Tiger go, letting it leave, and also guaranteed that they would not pursue or block it.
Because he ran into two people.
And this scene fell into the eyes of Huji, and the light in the little fox's eyes instantly disappeared.
If they are Immortal Gods, then are They not his sect elders?
Was that past care and affection fake?
He had received too, too much care in the Divine Path Sect, obtained the care and affection he had once lacked, and also possessed a real home.
Under the multiple factors of the desire to live, the fear of death, and the awe of strength... the Yellow Sand Tiger came to terms with it.
And regarding the identities of the other Immortal Gods, whether they are still hidden within the Divine Path Sect, Zhong Ling did not say much, only letting Ren Yidao guess for himself.
Then, she also wanted to go in and get involved!
Cang Lan felt that, as the master's capable warrior, her loyalty was as clear as the sun and moon, and she was qualified to know what they were plotting.
Oh, and one more thing.
"I have to find a way, I can't continue like this."
Don't talk to me about the dignity of a Great Demon; when one can't even survive, where is there any dignity to speak of?
She discovered that she had thought wrong.
Why can't you all come out to welcome me for once?
The Yellow Sand Tiger accepted reality; even though that man left it in the Eastern Wasteland to accompany his disciple, it did not betray him.
Danger!
She wanted to see what the four of them were actually doing inside.
"Yaoyue has changed her heart! She's not like before, wanting me to accompany her by her side for everything."
Ren Yidao did not expect such a result and was stunned for a full half-minute at the time.
Although that old grandfather surnamed Shen spoke slowly, he did indeed teach me many military strategies; as long as I use them cleverly, I will definitely be able to realize my ambitions!
And on the other side, Cang Lan did not know that she was being plotted against by this little fox; her expression was a bit ugly, she slightly pouted, and was muttering words under her breath.
So, this old guy really deserves to die!
Cang Lan had never thought that one day she would become a vase-like character, good to look at but useless.
How could it be like this!
Huji's human Incarnation looked to be only ten years old or so, with a head of long red hair hanging down to her calves, her cheeks were rosy and chubby with some baby fat, looking delicate and cute.
At the very beginning, the Yellow Sand Tiger met an arrogant man who claimed to be the king of some messy country and wanted to make it his mount.
What happened to the promised warmth of home!
After he left the Qingzhuan Dojo, he did not return to Luoyue Peak immediately, but first went to pay a visit to Zhong Ling and Yaochi.
It had also once dreamed of wielding a sword to travel the world, but later it was sent to a detention center due to public security control.
Regarding this miserable state, the lifelong strong-willed Yellow Sand Tiger was initially incomparably resistant; although it looked honest, it was actually thinking about escaping every moment.
Obviously, she, with a version that was too low, simply could not keep up with the development of the times; the Ren Yidao in her memory could not compare to the Cang Lan of this moment.
The Great Demon who had always had ambition just like that completely turned into a salted fish.
Clearly just a little brat who looked wet behind the ears and wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between teeth, the Yellow Sand Tiger had originally only intended to grab him and eat him as a small snack, but ended up sending itself into the hands of a monster and was forcibly suppressed into a little cat.
"Hmm?"
It had once also had a heart full of blood, wanting to become a generation of Great Demon, even hoping to become a Demon God, wanting to become a god and ancestor one day.
He had considered many possibilities, such as Zhong Ling having her own plans, such as Sikong Yu actually having a conspiracy, such as...
"If you do not wish to, no one in this world will force you."
What is this situation?
What happened?
Especially after seeing Huji transformed into human form, he felt even stranger; although he had never seen her look like this, he recognized the top star of his Fox Cafe from her aura.
His master is powerful, so he no longer needs to work hard.
Choices can be more important than hard work.
Red Fox, Yellow Sand Tiger, Silver Moon Wolf; they happen to be at the three stages of the Earth Realm.
But later, he threw this dream aside.
"I am now Zhong Ling of the Divine Path Sect, and you are my disciple; I will protect your choices."
Although as a guard, she should not have those inappropriate thoughts of overstepping her bounds, as a female, she felt she still needed to strive for the sake of her tribe.
"Master, you are back?" Cang Lan was the first to notice Ren Yidao's presence, her expression instantly turning from cloudy to sunny, revealing a bright smile as she took the initiative to step forward and change clothes for Ren Yidao.
He said: "Although the Heaven God Majesty hopes you will be the one to carry the banner of the future, but... everything depends on you."
Back when they were in the Western Desert, Cang Lan relied on the guidance and gifts from Ren Yidao and Yaoyue to stimulate her Silver Moon Wolf bloodline, becoming the first guard in the Crown Prince Guard to take the most critical step and Jingsheng to the Lianxu Realm.
"... What exactly happened inside?"
How many times now?
Huh?
I am asking you, how many times exactly!?
The trembling Dharma Aspect Realm Fox Demon, the composed Spirit Transformation Realm Tiger Demon, and the gloomy-faced Lianxu Realm Wolf Demon.
Might as well just honestly be someone's demon pet.
... Demon, it should be a Great Demon.
As for why Cang Lan was acting so impatient, the reason is actually quite simple.
Because she does not want her disciple to be forced by others, so she will stand up for him.
This woman is also a lover of this bad man!
Huji fearfully stole a glance at the tall woman beside her.
Finally, Ren Yidao bid farewell to Zhong Ling and returned to Luoyue Peak, returning to his little nest.
And what truth does the story of the Yellow Sand Tiger tell us?
"Really, having a new person, you forget the old one; fickle and inconstant! Hmph!"
And the news obtained from the mouths of the two, Hunyuan Heaven Girl and Yaochi Heaven Girl, was much the same as what Sikong Yu had told him, with no major differences.
Where has everyone gone!
Returning to his happy home but not receiving a warm welcome, Ren Yidao sighed helplessly; he was not in a hurry to look for those people, anyway, they wouldn't get lost.
This is the strategy of driving the tiger to devour the wolf!
People, ah!
You must never anger her!
Do not come to disturb me.
Because it knows that if it betrays, the only end awaiting it is—death.
This is the greatest threat this Fox King has ever encountered in its life!
Although this woman did not bring as much pressure to Huji as that man, and even couldn't compare to that sleepy Peak Master, in terms of this kind of wild threat, there is no doubt that she is dangerous!
If things continue according to this progress, perhaps one day, the Yellow Sand Tiger will truly be willing to become that person's mount.
Or perhaps this is not a conspiracy, not a sect founded casually to hide an identity.
"..."
Cannot make a sound!
It is just that he felt puzzled after returning.
Ren Yidao looked at the displeased Cang Lan, the obviously scheming Huji, and the Yellow Sand Tiger who had already entered dreamland, with a big question mark appearing above his head.
The Yellow Sand Tiger naturally could not agree; it still wanted to become a Demon God!
And just as the three Great Demons on Luoyue Peak were harboring their own schemes and thinking to themselves, Ren Yidao returned.
It no longer wants to work hard.
Even if doing so would mean clashing with the Heaven God who once ruled the world, He would not hesitate, without the slightest doubt.
Cang Lan wants to go in.
Whatever little thoughts you have, whatever little thoughts you have, it has nothing to do with me.
In Huji's understanding, Ren Yidao was still stuck at the time when he caught her and brought her to the Fox Cafe.
Doesn't matter.
And as the strongest Great Demon present, Cang Lan had not yet fully mastered the power of the Lianxu Realm and did not control her own aura very well; her bad mood also reflected on the impact on the surrounding environment.
The man in Huji's mouth is only one—Ren Yidao.
I, Huji, have also read books, um, heard others tell them to me.
Compared to that Peak Master who likes to ravage her, this feeling is more like the instinct engraved deep in the bloodline when encountering a natural predator.
She seemed to be born with an aura that makes people feel favorable; as soon as she appeared in the Divine Path Sect, she attracted many kind gazes, and many disciples remembered this new little girl on Luoyue Peak, often feeding her some small gifts.
And also... must watch over one's own cabbage, otherwise, it will be snatched away by others.
So what if it is? So what if it isn't?
Being a cat is also quite good.
Perhaps, in this game of house called the Divine Path Sect, some people are taking it even more seriously than he imagined.
Hmm, it's not for his own sake yet!
As for the third Demon Beast present, the Yellow Sand Tiger's behavior was the most casual.
The Yellow Sand Tiger lay lazily in an empty vat, covering its head with its tail, knowing nothing and caring for nothing regarding the outside world.
No, perhaps it is even more terrifying than death.
But at least it can quench one's thirst.
It was just that on one point, Zhong Ling gave Ren Yidao a different Sword Intent.
She hadn't sensed it carefully when she met Ren Yidao before, and had assumed he hadn't changed much from before.
There were a few candidates for suspicion, but Ren Yidao did not intend to verify them.
The three Demon Beasts had not communicated since arriving here, each finding a place to sit down.
A twisted melon is not sweet.
But later, under the disparity of overwhelming strength, it finally resigned itself to its fate.
The Yellow Sand Tiger set aside its dignity as a Great Demon, willingly accepted reality, and became a big fat cat to be toyed with by others.
And so, it also became a salted fish.
Once the raw rice is cooked into porridge, many things happen as a matter of course.
Of course, even after reaching the Lianxu Realm, her duty as a guard remained merely nominal, with no real practical use.
That day, the Yellow Sand Tiger encountered an existence that changed its life.
"Where did these people go?"
And at this moment, this little fox had her hair puffed up, obediently lowered her head, and shrank her neck to hide behind the cabinet, as if this could bring her some sense of security.
She was racking her little brain, thinking about how to get Cang Lan to properly teach Ren Yidao a lesson.
"... Perhaps I can get her to deal with that guy."
That's right, everything she did was for her master!
Hmm, it's definitely not for her own sake.
As time passed and the number of times the two fought increased, gradually, the Yellow Sand Tiger also stopped feeling antipathy toward that man, and a feeling similar to mutual appreciation developed between human and demon.
Her instinct as a Demon Beast told her that this guy was very dangerous.
Her grand plan of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf had failed from the very beginning!
Ren Yidao noticed Huji's gaze and said with amusement: "... What are you looking at? Don't make it seem like I'm abusing you; I remember I've treated you quite well, haven't I?"
"... Hmph."
He tapped the feigning-asleep Yellow Sand Tiger with his toe and said casually: "Go on, don't just stand there like a fool; take it and leave together."
