"Young Master Yang, is this boy your companion?"
In the quiet, the black wolf spoke in a human tongue. Its deep voice was slightly husky, as if its throat had been cut, sending shivers down the spine of anyone who heard it.
Yang Ju's lips curved into a slight smirk. "This boy and I are complete strangers."
"In that case, I will eat him!"
Yang Ju cupped his fists. "Then, Brother Wolf, enjoy your al. I shall take my leave now."
With that, Yang Ju turned to Luo Xian and Luo Qingxian, asking, "You two Fairies, would you care to accompany this gentleman?"
Luo Xian looked at Yang Ju, a flash of disgust in her eyes. Luo Qingxian, however, couldn't even be bothered to glance his way.
By now, the two won had realized that Yang Ju had intentionally lured this terrifyingly powerful black wolf here. His purpose was none other than to get revenge on Taoist Ao!
Seeing the two Fairies ignore him, Yang Ju said no more, unwilling to offer a warm welco to a cold shoulder. As the esteed Jade Young Master Yang Ju, he would not stoop to being a sycophant!
"So be it. Since you two Fairies insist on following this useless waste, then you'll have to fend for yourselves."
Leaving those words behind, Yang Ju departed stylishly with his entourage.
...
Back at the original spot, Luo Xian and Luo Qingxian stood on either side of Luo Xiu, their expressions vigilant. The aura emanating from the black wolf before them was even more formidable than that of the Fla Demon Scorpion! This must be the guardian Divine Beast of Ghost Valley Mountain!
"Boy, was it you who took the treasure from my territory?" the black wolf spoke into the silence.
Just then, Luo Xian suddenly took a step forward, holding the Prohibition Martial Talisman between two fingers in front of her chest.
Seeing this, the black wolf let out a derisive laugh.
"I am the guarding general of Ghost Valley Mountain. When you intruders enter the lands of Ghost Valley Mountain seeking opportunities, you are bound by the 'Prohibition of Arms,' but I am not!
"In other words, I can ignore the Cave Heavens Laws here and kill you as I please, but you cannot lay a hand on .
"Of course, even if you could fight back, you are nothing but small fry. What could you possibly do to ?"
Luo Xian said, "We can return the Lingzhi to you."
The black wolf snorted coldly, a powerful aura suddenly erupting from its body! At the sa ti, mysterious golden patterns began to surface on its ink-black fur, and its body started to expand rapidly. In just a mont, the wolf had grown as large as an elephant, its entire form shimring with a golden spiritual light and wreathed in a swirling black mist. Amidst the creepy, bizarre sight, it also exuded a soul-shaking divine might!
"It has already been picked! Even if you return it to , it cannot grow back!
"Besides, I owe that Young Master Yang a favor."
Luo Qingxian's brows furrowed slightly. "As expected. Yang Ju intended to use a borrowed blade to kill."
The black wolf suddenly lunged toward the three of them. "If you have more nonsense to spout, you can do it from inside my belly!"
Seeing the black wolf charge, a sense of despair washed over the two won, yet they had no thought of fleeing. Luo Xiu, who had remained silent the whole ti, took in their reactions, a warmth spreading through his heart. Now *these* are loyal comrades!
Thus, Luo Xiu stepped forward and spoke up, "That's enough, Black Fatty!"
Hearing this, the black wolf skidded to an abrupt halt, its four paws planted on the ground. A hint of confusion and disbelief flickered in its sharp, lupine eyes as it stared at Luo Xiu.
Black Fatty was its nickna. But that nickna was known only to the three young ladies, the Young Master, and His Majesty. How could this boy possibly know it?
Luo Xiu smiled and walked forward, reaching out to pat the black wolf's head.
The black wolf imdiately leaped back, baring its teeth and glaring at Luo Xiu. "Kid, who the hell are you?"
Luo Xiu's expression darkened. He strode forward, slapped it on the head, and then grabbed its ear, transmitting via Divine Sense Communication, "Who do you think I am?
"When we were young, I asked you to watch that roast chicken. I went to take a dump, and by the ti I ca back, you had gobbled it all down. When our Second Senior Sister chased you for it, you panicked and jumped into the latrine. In the end, it was who had to drag you to the creek to wash you.
"Also, that ti you peed on Second Senior Sister's shoes and she hung you from a tree for a whole day—it was who saved you!
"Oh, and that ti I stole so wine to drink, you also joined in…"
"Enough... enough! Say no more!" Black Fatty hastily interrupted Luo Xiu. If Luo Xiu kept going, would he have any of his heroic, majestic, handso face left?
Hearing these dark secrets from its childhood, Black Fatty now understood exactly who stood before it. Tears suddenly welled in its eyes as it stared blankly at Luo Xiu.
"You... you're the Young Master?"
Luo Xiu gave it a aningful look. "Just use Divine Sense Communication. Also, my na is Ao Debiao now."
"Holy crap! Young Master, *you're* Ao Debiao?!"
"What, you've heard of ?"
"Who hasn't? In a single day, you were tested to have ten Ultimate Boundary Fusion Paths! Hahaha… I suppose only you, Young Master, would be capable of sothing like that!"
"..."
anwhile, seeing Luo Xiu scolding the black wolf like a dog, Luo Xian and Luo Qingxian were completely dumbfounded. The mighty, fierce wolf with its terrifying aura was now wagging its tail before Luo Xiu and even proactively rubbing its head against his palm… just like a husky.
"What is happening?" Luo Xian asked Luo Qingxian, utterly bewildered.
Luo Qingxian said in a low voice, "Could it be that this Profligate possesses so kind of advanced beast-taming art?"
Luo Xian nodded. "That seems likely."
"..."
「At this ti.」
Yang Ju had already led his large group of followers formally into the first layer of the area.
Xing Rui faced the crowd and announced in a loud voice, "Everyone, my Young Master is a man of his word and will not treat you unfairly!
"Although there are few opportunities in this first layer, there are still many precious Spiritual dicines. You are all free to gather them as you please, but rember, you must hand over a portion of all the Spiritual dicines you collect to my Young Master later.
"Furthermore, let remind you all not to touch any Spiritual dicines you don't recognize or any highly toxic substances. Within this Divine Mountain, the higher you go, the more dangerous it becos. Even an inconspicuous weed could be fatal!
"None of you should be like that waste from the Mortal Realm earlier, who clearly knew nothing but pretended to be an expert. He went straight to picking a poisonous Lingzhi and was even gloating about it."
At his words, all the Cultivators burst into laughter.
"Alright, everyone, go and gather dicines. We don't have much ti; we need to get to the second layer area as soon as possible."
"..."
After giving his instructions, Xing Rui walked over to Yang Ju and said with a smile, "Young Master, that was truly brilliant of you, actually managing to get that black wolf to act."
Yang Ju gently fanned himself with his folding fan and said slowly, "That black wolf is an ancient Exotic Beast—the Youming Ghost Wolf. It is a fierce beast unique to Ghost Valley.
"It was born and raised on Ghost Valley Mountain. With its power, it is likely no weaker than a Red Emperor. Killing that waste from the Mortal Realm is more than easy for it!
"Moreover, within the territory of Ghost Valley Mountain, it is not restricted by the 'Prohibition of Arms'."
Xing Rui asked curiously, "Young Master, how did you manage to get on good terms with such a terrifying Exotic Beast?"
Yang Ju smiled serenely. "When I first arrived at Ghost Valley Mountain, I happened upon it as it was trying to break through a bottleneck. I gave it a few Elixirs, and as a result, it owes a favor.
"Earlier at the foot of the mountain, it was I who summoned it with a Divine Sense Communication."
"I see. Heh, Young Master, you are truly incredible! That lowly peasant from the Mortal Realm is surely dead this ti!" Xing Rui was full of admiration, giving Yang Ju a thumbs-up.
Suddenly, the wind picked up. A whooshing sound echoed from the sky.
Xing Rui looked up and saw a massive dark shadow flying toward them at high speed. As he looked closer, he realized it was the Youming Ghost Wolf!
"Young Master, look! It's the black wolf."
Yang Ju's lips curled upwards slightly. He cupped his fists toward the sky and said, "Brother Wolf, I didn't expect you to finish your delicious al so quickly."
Black Fatty snorted coldly and landed with a THUD. Its majestic body, as large as an elephant, stood before the two n.
Just as Yang Ju was about to offer so pleasantries, his brow furrowed, and his expression turned exceedingly ugly. He was shocked to see Luo Xiu and the two Fairies riding on the back of the Youming Ghost Wolf
