"You want to give the Taoism Entry Fruit?" Xu Zii asked in surprise.
"Originally, it was ant for ," Grandpa Wang chuckled.
"But at my age, and after this great war, whether I can survive is uncertain.
This Taoism Entry Fruit is considered a reward.
I hope you can find a good destination for the Eternal Divine Tree."
"So, how about considering this?"
"A win-win situation, what's there to consider?" Xu Zii shook his head, chuckling.
"I've agreed."
"But you have such little faith in the Yao Pond?
Do you think it will definitely be destroyed?"
"How should I put it?" Grandpa Wang smiled.
"I'm just preparing for the worst outco, and if Yao Pond can withstand it, that's best."
"I think you're being a bit pessimistic," Xu Zii said.
"It's not pessimism, at least on the surface, the Cangxuan Realm is much stronger than Yao Pond," Grandpa Wang remarked.
"The Monster Race has sixteen Monster Races, and each race has an extrely strong expert."
"How are extrely strong experts defined?
Divided by Three Corpses?" Xu Zii asked.
"Three Corpses Strong Ones are true experts at the pinnacle of the world.
Impossible."
Grandpa Wang shook his head, smiling.
"If there were sixteen Three Corpses Strong Ones, what would be the point of fighting?
Just surrender right away.
I'm referring to Three Flower Experts."
"And you must understand, even among Three Flower Experts, there are distinctions between strengths."
"For example, previously, both I and Ancestral Master Baihe were Three Flowers, but even together, they might not be my match."
Xu Zii nodded slightly.
At the level of Three Flowers, victory isn't only determined by numbers, but by strength as well.
A powerful Three Flower Expert can often change the course of a battle.
Xu Zii nodded and asked again, "How many Three Flower Experts are there among the sixteen Monster Races?"
"I truly don't know, each force has so hidden existences."
Grandpa Wang explained.
"But what's truly worth paying attention to are the clan leaders of the sixteen Monster Races.
They are not normal Three Flower Experts.
Each one can individually rival ."
Xu Zii nodded.
After all, the sixteen Monster Races carry one of the Nine Domains, being powerful is understandable.
But how strong Yao Pond can be, no one knows, because since its establishnt, Yao Pond has always been discreet in the world.
...…
The Pan Peach Holy eting is about to start tomorrow.
After chatting with Grandpa Wang, Xu Zii left.
As for the Eternal Divine Tree.
It kept shouting and claiming nobody cared about its feelings.
Neither of them cared.
Because the Eternal Divine Tree is still in its infancy, it has no combat power.
Moreover, it is cowardly.
Of course, Xu Zii didn't take the Eternal Divine Tree away imdiately, unless the situation beca irreversible, and the defeat of Yao Pond was certain.
In the night, Xu Zii returned to Broken Wolf Valley.
He reached the top of the valley, gazing at the sky above Yao Pond.
The sky of Mount Kunlun was brilliant with stars, seemingly static and eternal.
He was originally just enjoying the view, but suddenly, Xu Zii seed to sense sothing.
He frowned, looking toward a hollow in Broken Wolf Valley.
He saw mist starting to spread in what was originally a rugged hollow.
Within the mist, wolf howls could faintly be heard.
"What kind of grievance is this," Xu Zii murmured to himself.
He quickly stepped through the air towards the hollow.
Upon reaching it, he could feel the dense grievance, engulfing him, as if intending to drown him.
Within the grievance, a humanoid creature slowly erged.
Upon closer look, it was a wolf.
It walked on two legs, erging from the mist.
"A human has co to this valley," the werewolf laughed.
"Did Old Wang send you?"
"Who are you?" Xu Zii countered.
"Looks like you don't recognize ," the werewolf squinted slightly, its crimson eyes possessively eyeing Xu Zii.
"Could you be the dinner sent to ?"
With that, it lunged at Xu Zii.
Xu Zii swung his knife, but it struck rely an illusion.
The knife passed through the werewolf's body.
The werewolf laughed heartily, "Kid, seems I didn't manage to scare you.
I'm a soul of grievance, although you can see , we're not in the sa space.
We can't attack each other."
"Already dead?" Xu Zii murmured to himself briefly.
Then he looked up and replied, "Broken Wolf Valley is interesting indeed, leaving behind a trace of grievance without dealing with it."
"I haven't seen a human in ages, kid chat with ," the werewolf replied.
"Do you know the legend of Broken Wolf Valley?"
Xu Zii nodded.
Wang Ya had told him before, thousands of years ago, the Wolf King of Cangxuan Realm suddenly attacked Yao Pond.
And he did so all alone.
He killed several Dao Fruit Powerhouses.
In the end, he was slain by the Nine Fla King in this place. Unwilling, the Wolf King's corpse corrupted the land.
Two fangs transford into two mountains.
Thus creating the perilous Broken Wolf Valley.
Later, Yao Pond transplanted a teleportation array here, letting the Plant Lineage guard it.
"You are that Wolf King?" Xu Zii asked.
He was not surprised, he'd long guessed this.
Broken Wolf Valley was nad for the wolf.
"Yes, my grievance isn't strong, I can only appear for a while on a full moon night," the Wolf King said.
Looking up, the sky was full of brilliant stars, but the round moon still shone brilliantly.
"Yao Pond is about to face disaster," the Wolf King whispered.
"The monster beasts of your Cangxuan Realm are too greedy," Xu Zii said.
"I'm not like them," the Wolf King quickly shook his head.
He explained, "I attacked Yao Pond for myself, unrelated to the Monster Race."
"For yourself?" Xu Zii was curious.
"The previous Saintess of Yao Pond was my wife," the Wolf King touched on this, without saying much more.
But Xu Zii understood.
Yao Pond forbids the Saintess to marry, as she is being grood as the next Queen of the West.
Even for ordinary disciples to marry, strict screening is required, let alone the Saintess.
Because of love, that was Xu Zii's conclusion.
While the two were chatting, Grandpa Wang's laughter echoed from behind.
"Seems you're having a good conversation."
The two turned their heads, seeing Grandpa Wang holding a jar of wine, smiling as he approached.
"Hundred-year Shaoxing?"
The Wolf King sniffed.
"Thousand-year," Grandpa Wang laughed and opened the wine jar.
Imdiately, the aroma of wine lingered in the air, enchanting even those who didn't drink.
"Such generosity from the old man, it's rare," the Wolf King smiled.
Then he rembered sothing, pausing.
He slowly said, "The great war is about to begin, you're afraid I won't be able to drink it later."
Grandpa Wang didn't say much, each of the three filled a bowl, gazed at the moon from the mountain, drinking and singing.
...…
The next day was the Pan Peach Holy eting.
Xu Zii felt a bit fuzzy from the drink.
He did not resist the feeling of drunkenness on purpose.
