Madam, please listen to my explanation.

Chapter 149 The Blood Wolf Clan's Highest Etiquette

"Woo—"

Deep in the southern border region, a secluded cave was shrouded in darkness.

As a sound similar to a flute rang out, two round, bright, emerald-colored lights appeared in the pitch-black space.

"Meow~"

Zhuang Yuning stretched her limbs, shook her head vigorously, and took cat-like steps toward the source of the sound.

It was clearly late at night, but the further we went, the brighter the light became.

The soft golden light flickered and shone on both sides of the cave walls, making the lifelike murals appear particularly ferocious.

Zhuang Yuning deliberately avoided looking to either side.

The contents contained within were so horrifying that I couldn't verify their authenticity and could only selectively ignore them.

"Golden light shines brightly. Geng and Xin represent metal, and the west."

Deep inside the cave, in a fairly spacious open space, an old man with white hair sat cross-legged.

His hand kept making hand seals, and around him were a circle of pearls of different colors.

At this moment, all the other jewels were dull and lifeless, except for a golden jewel that symbolized the West, which was shining brightly.

Zhuang Yuning yawned.

The flute music we just heard came from this.

"Priest Torre, meow."

Zhuang Yuning approached the old man.

Ever since I've turned into this awful state, I can't help but use strange interjections when I speak, it's really...
Utterly shameful!
If one day I were to be reborn as a human, and I couldn't break this habit...
Thinking of this, the round, orange cat's head drooped, looking dejected.

Forget it, what's the point of thinking about that?

Whether he will ever be able to return to the Central Plains in this lifetime remains to be seen.

"Yao'er"

The old priest noticed the approaching 'holy maiden', and a kind smile appeared on his weathered face.

Zhuang Yuning noticed that although the contact time was very short, for some reason, the other party was aging at an exaggerated speed.

What are you doing, meow?

Fat Orange lifted its hind legs and frantically scratched its neck, which was so fat it was almost disappearing.

That's so rude of me.
If it keeps gaining weight like this, I'll soon be too big to catch, meow.

"Well, earlier, in the northeast direction, didn't a little fellow intrude into my sacred land? Although he quickly displayed incredibly pure demonic power, I was still a little worried and kept a close eye on him."

Just now, he seemed to have appeared on the west side of the Dark Water River, which appears to be the territory of the Blood Wolf Clan.

"Oh"

Could it be the gentleman?
Zhuang Yuning licked her paws, her cat face expressionless.

As they parted, disregarding Zhou Jin's old scoundrel's admonitions, he deliberately said some strange things.

I don't know if the gentleman can tell.
However, looking back now, I still feel a little regretful.

On one hand, she longed to be personally brought back to the Central Plains from this jungle filled with aliens and poisonous creatures by that person.

On the other hand, she was also worried that if the other party really came, they might encounter danger.
Besides, he hadn't fulfilled his promise to Zhou Jin. If he went back like this, given that old scoundrel's unscrupulous nature, he probably wouldn't be kind enough to restore him to his original state.
"What is Yao'er thinking about?"

Torre asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, meow."

"Haha, don't worry about your health. During your captivity, I have already made contact with the Holy One."

The Demon Emperor briefly revived and peered into the direction of the Heavenly Secrets Valley of Annihilation; a great change is imminent!

This is why I spare no expense to constantly monitor any unusual activity on the outside.

The Holy Venerable is already aware of your situation. A batch of pure Holy Cores will be sent from the Holy Mountain for you to absorb.

"Let's hurry! This change is also an opportunity. If we use it properly, it will not only help you advance your cultivation, but our Holy Land's return to the Central Plains will also be just around the corner!"

A fanatical glint appeared in Torre's eyes as he slammed his hand down on 'Wu Yao's' head:
"Yao'er, it won't be too long. One day, you will definitely break down the gates of Yanjing and wipe away my shame!"

"Meow?"

At your age, don't suddenly get all worked up.
Besides, let's not talk about restoring our true forms here.
This appearance is quite deceptive; what if the deception is exposed once he regains his human form?
I haven't even entered the Ten Thousand Mountains yet.
Zhuang Yuning grew increasingly terrified as she listened, feeling that her future as a cat was bleak.

"Yao'er is still seriously injured, so she should stay here and rest. I will personally go to the Blood Wolf territory to see what kind of person this newcomer is."

"I'm going too!"

Without hesitation, Zhuang Yuning blurted out.

This old priest has seen Mr. Xu's true face!

If it really happens to my husband, I will go with him no matter what, so that he won't be in danger!
"But."

The old man was about to try to dissuade him when he suddenly stood up, looking out of the cave in utter horror.

Almost simultaneously, she also felt something.
In some distant space outside the cave, something extraordinary seems to have happened.

With a flick of his sleeve, Toream understood and quickly climbed onto the other's shoulder.

The old man gazed into the distance and sighed:
"Sigh, never mind, I don't have time to go to the Blood Wolf Territory for now."
-
*Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.*
"Aling."

*Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.*
As the tribesmen dispersed, Wolf walked toward the girl who was still sitting in the same spot, sharpening her arrows.

The girl didn't turn her head; all that answered him was a sickeningly screeching sound.

Wolf narrowed his eyes and said coldly:
"Ah Ling, are you going to go against Lord Blood Wolf's will?"

The girl's back paused slightly, and she finally stopped polishing the arrowhead.

"Chieftain, as the most powerful warrior of the Blood Wolf Clan, I..."

Hua Ling stood up and turned her head, her forehead veins bulging with anger.

"But you are also the youngest and most beautiful girl in the Blood Wolf Clan!"

Wolf refused to budge an inch.

He was very angry, and his two fangs were growing longer and longer.

In the Holy Land, no one can question the orders of their clan leader!

"The Void Kun clan and my Blood Wolf clan's patriarch are close friends and brothers! How can you be so disrespectful?"

Hua Ling lowered her head, clenched her fist tightly, and left silently.

Seeing that the other party had finally given in, Wolf gazed at the lonely figure and said slowly:

"Of course, the Blood Wolf Clan never shows friendship to the weak."

Hana Rin's steps faltered.

"If the opponent is a weakling who is easily defeated, then he is not worthy to call himself a warrior of the Xu Kun clan!"

Hua Ling turned around in disbelief. In the moonlight, the clan chief grinned, revealing neat and beautiful teeth.

If I still can't understand such an obvious hint, then I'm a complete idiot!
She nodded emphatically and ran forward quickly.

Behind him, Wolf crossed his arms and laughed heartily.

"Brother Zaxin, this is all I can do for you!"
-
That night, lying in the simple thatched house, Xu Jinhuan was just about to get a good night's sleep and recharge his energy.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from outside the door.

"who?"

The miasma in this place can, to some extent, obscure the perception of the divine sense.

Even Xiaoqing couldn't see the person's face clearly at first glance.

"Zha Xin. Sir."

The voice was clear yet slightly hesitant. By the dim candlelight, one could make out the person with a head of magnificent dreadlocks, features full of heroic spirit, and wheat-colored skin that exuded strength.

What a big car!

Pshaw. No, I'm not mistaken. Although all night long, the other person only showed me their smooth, bare back.

But her figure and hairstyle are undeniable.

It was none other than Hua Ling, the number one expert of the Blood Wolf Clan, who had just shot an arrow at him during the day!

"Is there something you need, Miss Hua?"

The words had barely left my mouth when I felt something was off.
Fortunately, this raw-blooded woman probably wouldn't realize the inappropriateness of her words.

She abandoned her aloofness that kept people at arm's length during the day, lowered her head, and clutched the hem of her grass skirt in a coquettish manner.

Even though her skin looked as healthy as someone who had been sunbathing at the beach for years, you could still vaguely see two rosy blushes on her face.

Xu Jinhuan rolled over and sat up on the not-so-high straw mat.

Nope.
Even if you live in a primitive society, you don't need to be so ambiguous.
Could they be planning some kind of "walking marriage" or "offering women" thing?

'Xu Jinhuan, there's a murderous aura about him!'

Why does she act like you owe her a fortune?

"Don't always say such strange things!"

Just as I was speechless, the woman opposite me seemed to have made a huge decision and slowly walked towards the straw mat.

Her long legs were slightly thick, with well-proportioned and firm muscles, every inch of which seemed to contain explosive power.

"Lord Zaxin."

"The Blood Wolf Clan has always been hospitable, especially to descendants of a great tribe like yourself."

The woman approached Xu Jinhuan step by step, reaching behind her neck and groping around.

After a rustling sound, the simple vest and grass skirt fell to the ground, making Xu Jinhuan squint.

Gudong.

He couldn't help but swallow.

"I am acting on the orders of the clan chief."

Long, slender fingers pressed on Xu Jinhuan's shoulder, and the person sat on his lap without saying a word.

"I have come to present you with the most sublime ceremony of my tribe."

Hua Ling pushed forward with both hands, and Xu Jinhuan fell down.

The next moment, the woman cupped Xu Jinhuan's face in her hands, and the distance between the two grew closer and closer.

Halfway there, she seemed impatient and suddenly sped up!

boom!
A loud bang was followed by a woman's muffled groan.

The two figures separated instantly.

Hua Ling's bare feet landed on the ground, her forehead covered with bits of grass and dirt, and she covered her shoulder with one hand.

Xu Jinhuan stood opposite, forcibly averting his gaze from the pair of deadly weapons.

Where he had just been lying, there was now a huge crater in the ground!

"Miss Flower, isn't the Blood Wolf Clan's etiquette a bit too crude?"

Xu Jinhuan's smile was full of sarcasm.

If I hadn't pushed the cart away in time, I might have had my skull shattered if I had been hit!
"Enough with the nonsense! The Blood Wolf Clan reveres powerful beings. Whether they deserve our clan's tribute is something you should ask me first!"

Having missed her first attack, Hua Ling seemed somewhat embarrassed and angry.

She spread her arms wide, her fingertips growing wildly.

At the same time, two of his teeth, which were originally fairly even, on the top and two on the bottom, have turned into sharp fangs!

"Roar!"

A beast's roar shook the simple thatched hut so badly it seemed about to collapse.

The woman transformed into a gust of wind and pounced towards Xu Jinhuan!
"What a commotion! They actually used their full strength right from the start!"

"As expected of Hua Ling, that roar just now almost scared the soul out of me."

Outside, a dozen or so half-grown wolf cubs stood in a circle around Wolf, secretly observing him from a distance.

"Shut up! Be careful, or Ah Ling will take her anger out on you kids when she gets out!"

Upon hearing this, everyone around him shrank back, their voices barely audible.
"Come on, place your bet! I'm betting three ghost-eyed fish, Hanabiko wins!"

"No, no, no, Sister A-Ling might lose without her bow and arrows. I'm betting on Brother Zha Xin!"

Wolf stood silently with his arms crossed, a playful smile on his face.
-
boom!
Faced with the beast-like attack, Xu Jinhuan neither dodged nor evaded, but instead raised his hands to meet it head-on!
The four hands joined together, and a fierce struggle ensued.

For a moment, Xu Jinhuan could even hear the bones in each other's hands cracking from the immense pressure.

'It's not that great!'

Xu Jinhuan grinned.

Admittedly, the other party at this moment resembled a ferocious ancient beast more than a human.

Moreover, the people of the southern border are bathed in demonic energy day and night, making their physical strength far surpass that of people from the Central Plains.

If it were a peak sixth-rank cultivator here, without using weapons or techniques, they might be torn to pieces by this incredibly strong woman!

However, he had been infused with dragon energy several times, so in terms of physical strength alone, he was no weaker than his opponent!

With a thought, to avoid being too shocking, he did not cause the great sun in his sea of ​​consciousness to appear behind him.

The intense, masculine heatwave instantly coursed through my limbs and bones.

His palm instantly became scorching hot, like a red-hot branding iron. Hua Ling winced in pain, and a look of agony appeared on her face.

Xu Jinhuan seized the opportunity to shake off the other's hands, lowered his waist and twisted his body, delivering a powerful Iron Mountain Lean, which slammed heavily into the other's chest!

puff.
Caught off guard, the girl was thrown backward, her stomach churning, and a mouthful of blood gushed out uncontrollably.

Her back slammed through the shabby thatched hut and she flew out.

While she was in mid-air, a figure rushed over, grabbed her by the neck, and slammed her hard onto the ground!

boom!
The ground was instantly crushed, creating a spiderweb-like network of cracks.

Xu Jinhuan looked down at the woman, letting her sharp nails lash out wildly, neither dodging nor avoiding, and the force in his hands grew heavier and heavier.

Soon, the other party's eyes became glazed over, and the strength of their resistance grew weaker and weaker. Even the patterns on their face and their fangs began to gradually disappear.

He then let go of her hand.

"You flatter me, Miss Flower."

Looking up, he saw a group of dumbfounded teenagers opposite him, and the smiling old clan chief with a wolf fang necklace around his neck.

Xu Jinhuan twisted his neck and laughed:
"Brother, the clan chief never mentioned that the Blood Wolf Clan has such an exciting program."

"Hahaha! As expected of a descendant of Lord Zagu, the Blood Wolf Clan reveres the strong the most. Kid, Hua Ling is yours!"

Forget it. I'm not worthy of it!

Xu Jinhuan thought to himself, but he couldn't express it to her face.

Although I appeared to be in a powerful position just now, I cannot actually be considered to have defeated my opponent.

After all, what this woman was most proud of was her unpredictable archery skills, not hand-to-hand combat.

Just as he was about to make up an excuse, a golden light suddenly shot into the sky from the infinite distance shrouded in poison!

Xu Jinhuan and the others all turned to look, even though their view was obstructed and they couldn't see clearly.

Yet no one could ignore the enormous pillar of light stretching across the heavens and earth in the distance.

Everyone, including Wolf and the flower petals on the ground, was stunned.

"That's the direction of the Valley of Annihilation!"

'Xu Jinhuan's keyhole has moved! Someone...someone has broken free from the shackles of the Heavenly Lock and is drawing power from the keyhole!'
