Borrowing a sword

Chapter 379 You're also considered a successor of the Dao Ancestor?
Standing outside the Unfettered Forest, Chu Huaixu felt that this fat black cat had really tricked him into thinking he was a cat.

"Does it really think my IQ is about the same as a cat's?"

If someone is specifically left here to guard the place, and they say they're not here, then damn it, they're definitely here!

If you're really hiding from me, really running away, and still leaving someone here to notify me, then that's truly...
That's very polite!

Kui Muquan looked somewhat embarrassed; he really wasn't good at acting.

The main problem is that the Cat Guardian's order was simply too shameful.

It makes him seem a bit stupid.

Yuwen Huai sent Chu Huaixu to Wuji Forest to look for the cat, which must mean that he sensed the black cat was there with his divine sense.

But the people of Chunqiu Mountain were already used to it.

This cat protector is of high status, powerful strength, and has an extraordinary seniority.

But his brain isn't very good.

This is true for the vast majority of demonic beasts.

It doesn't become smarter just because it lives longer.

This is an innate defect; one is born with a low IQ, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

Often, its nature is no different from that of a child.

In fact, Kui Muquan knew in his heart that, according to the unofficial history of the sect, the female patriarch had tricked him into coming from the side of the Dao Ancestor.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were kidnapped.

The Dao Ancestor didn't mind and simply treated it as a gift to her as a small pet.

Later generations found it rather amusing.
Chu Huaixu looked at Kui Muquan, who was digging his toes into the ground, and said with a smile, "Brother Kui, isn't this getting a bit boring?"

"Uh," Kui Muquan didn't know how to respond.

He was by nature straightforward and even more adept at being brave and ruthless.

“I know that Brother Kui was entrusted by someone, no, by the cat.”

"Since it is the order of the sect's protector, you have no choice but to obey."

"But this matter is actually quite easy to handle."

"I have a plan that won't put Brother Kui in a difficult position," the dead fox said with a sly smile, his eyes narrowed.

Upon hearing this, Kui Muquan was overjoyed and immediately rolled up his sleeves, saying, "Please tell me in detail, Brother Chu."

"No problem, no problem, all I need to do is send Brother Kui flying!"

After saying that, Chu Huaixu suddenly made his move!
Kui Muquan's current cultivation level is also at the fourth realm, which is a few minor realms lower than Chu Huaixu's.

At this time, it had not been long since the end of the Third Realm Competition, and the cultivation levels of these geniuses were generally only at the beginning of the Fourth Realm.

At this stage, Kui Muquan can easily handle not only Chu Huaixu, but also Han Shuangjiang.

Therefore, the dead fox made a sudden move, and Kui Muquan didn't even have time to react!
The immense advantage of body cultivators in close combat was immediately apparent.

His speed and explosiveness are truly terrifying.

The number one prodigy of Chunqiu Mountain was sent flying by a punch the moment he finished speaking!
Chu Huaixu was quite ruthless. Although he didn't use much of his spiritual power and relied purely on his physical strength, he still managed to knock Kui Muquan unconscious with a single punch.

He nearly swore as he was sent flying backwards.

I admired you as a leader among my peers, and you dare to launch a sneak attack at the slightest disagreement!

As expected of a crude body cultivator, he loves to resort to sneak attacks. It's truly ingrained in the very bones of a body cultivator, and even Chu Huaixu is no exception!

Ke Kui Mu Quan is a killer.

After a brief moment of bewilderment and anger, he was immediately overjoyed!

"Opportunities to spar with Chu Huaixu are few and far between!"

"Then let's fight!!!"

Even if you lose badly in the end, you will definitely benefit a lot.

As a result, Chu Huaixu was immediately dumbfounded.

"No way! It's just a formality, why are you getting so worked up about it?" he couldn't help but think to himself.

Since that's the case, then you brought it on yourself.

I'll beat you into a pig's head!

Before long, Kui Muquan was completely dominated by him.

He actually managed to swell up the other person's face.

Chu Huaixu continued the interrogation while beating the victim.

"Speak! Is the Cat Protector in the Unbound Forest?!"

Kui Muquan gritted his teeth: "He's not here! I said he's not here, and that means he's not here!"

Hey! You're pretty stubborn!

Chu Huaixu immediately launched into another brutal beating. Little did he know that deep within the Unfettered Forest, an extremely obese black cat was perched on the branch of an ancient tree.

Its divine sense perceives everything outside the forest, and Chu Huaixu's every move cannot escape its detection.

But for some reason, even though it was Kui Muquan who was being beaten outside the forest, and even though this black cat was a powerful ninth-level expert, it was perched on the tree, shivering from time to time.

It seems to have stirred up some unpleasant memories.

Inside the main hall of Chunqiu Mountain, a group of cultivation giants used their divine sense to perceive everything around the Wuji Forest, their faces showing a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"They're all just messing around," they thought to themselves.

However, it must be said that these high-ranking members of Chunqiu Mountain once again felt Chu Huaixu's strength among his peers.

Especially for someone like Yuwen Huai, who was meeting him in person for the first time.

Previously, the master of Chunqiu Mountain had only heard many rumors about Chu Huaixu.

In retrospect, seeing is believing.

Kui Muquan has already been accepted as his true disciple.

However, his own disciple was easily crushed by this cultivator who practiced both sword and body techniques, relying solely on his physical strength.

Such a huge gap in strength is truly unbelievable.

He couldn't help but look at Jiang Zhi and said, "Senior Jiang, this unworthy disciple has been unruly and has delayed your sect's important affairs."

"It's alright, it didn't take too long anyway," Jiang Zhi replied, sounding incredibly arrogant and lacking in emotional intelligence.

But Kui Muquan didn't actually get to play many moves against Chu Huaixu.

After knocking him unconscious, Chu Huaixu headed into the Unfettered Forest.

As a result, he had only taken two steps into the woods when a barrier appeared in front of him.

The black cat had actually set up a barrier, forcibly stopping him!

In this way, with his meager cultivation at the fourth realm, he naturally had no way to take another step forward.

A helpless expression appeared on Pei Songji's face as he chased away the cicadas.

He stood up and said, "Mountain Lord, I'll go."

“Very well, the Dharma Protector is naturally mischievous, so I’ll have to trouble you,” Yuwen Huai said.

Actually, after all this commotion, they were all quite curious.

This cat demon has always been lawless within the sect, and no one can do anything about it.

But why does it seem like a different cat as soon as Chu Huaixu arrives?

Why is it hiding from him, and why is it afraid of him?

That makes absolutely no sense!
The restriction was only placed in front of Chu Huaixu and did not extend to the entire Unfettered Forest.

To be precise, wherever he went, the restrictions followed and blocked his way.

Pei Songji took a detour and quickly flew to the foot of the huge ancient tree.

He looked up at the black cat in the tree and said, "Why is the Dharma Protector doing this?"

He began to patiently guide him:
“Guardian, Chu Huaixu has come here for important business, concerning my close friend Zhong Ming.”

"You've met him several times."

"I hope the Dharma Protector will allow him to come in; I reckon he'll just ask a few questions."

"I'm also curious about why Zhong Ming sought out the protector before entering the fifth level of the Origin Spirit Realm?"

The fat cat perched on the tree, seemingly oblivious to his presence and completely ignoring him.

Pei Songji's lips twitched slightly.

As everyone knows, this cat demon is hard of hearing.

Therefore, he spoke very loudly when he spoke to it just now.

Therefore, it's impossible that it didn't hear it.

Clearly, it's taking advantage of its hearing loss to selectively ignore things again.

In short, it will pretend not to hear anything it doesn't want to talk to or answer.

—"I'm Deaf!"
But Pei Songji was helpless against it.

Left with no other choice, he had to invoke the name of the Taoist patriarch.

“Guardian, Chu Huaixu is, after all, hailed as the successor of the Dao Ancestor.”

"Of all the Daoist scriptures that the Daoist Ancestor cultivated, only he comprehended their essence."

"I think it's better to..." he shouted.

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the black cat in the tree.

The incredibly fat cat demon glanced down at Pei Songji, then tilted its head slightly, a look of utter astonishment appearing on its face. This astonishment quickly turned into amusement, and it loudly proclaimed:
"You don't understand, what kind of successor is he?"
