Chapter 555: Chapter 533: Searching for Food_2

And now, the revival of the Demon Lord, already liberated from his seals, is a terror far surpassing that of Zhao He. How could the forces of the Mortal World’s Immortal Sect possibly contend with him?

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for the Righteous Immortal Sect, not to mention the most powerful Dynasty in the Mortal World, Central Netherworld, which broke with Tianxi two hundred years ago and has ceased all intercourse.

With the loss of Central Netherworld’s powerful support, the balance of power between the righteous and evil paths has already begun to tilt.

The leaders of the Three Sects have now personally gone to Xianling City, with their ultimate goal being to seek an audience with that legendary God of Kunlun, hoping she would lend a hand to resolve this crisis.

Unfortunately, the lords of Tianxi, Taixuan, and Cangwu have earnestly requested an audience for three days within the city, but to no avail.

The city’s edict has been issued, and the underlying intention to bid guests farewell goes without saying. Itinerant cultivators naturally find it improper to linger in Xianling City, not even the leaders of the Three Sects could defy this.

Seeing this, everyone thought that the name of Kunlun Ruins, beyond the seas and mountains of Outer Heaven, indeed lives up to its reputation. Even the three strongest crossing calamity Immortals from the Mortal World coming in person to request an audience cannot coax the God of Kunlun out.

After all, Kunlun does not belong to the Six Realms, nor does it handle the affairs of the Five Elements. This is something even Immortal Venerable Zhu Zhan cannot influence. How could mere mortals hope to catch a glimpse of her divine grace?

The heads of the Three Sects returned disappointed.

Participants from all sides also began to leave the city, one after another.

Above the vast grasslands, Sword Control was in vogue, unceasing, day after day.

And the immense Xianling City, now cleared of outside guests, suddenly seemed much colder and more desolate.

Baili An sent the Calm-Heart Stone obtained from the arsenal to Shifang City and had the Jade Pot Spiritual Spring, as well as the Ghost Crystal Vein gifted by Xing Wu in his incarnation as Mou Chen at Ghost Mountain, secretly delivered to the Lihe Sect.

After arranging these trivial matters, Baili An also made discreet contact with Lin Guiyuan, who was stationed at the Wandao Immortal Alliance, to inform him that Fang Geyu was still alive.

As for his sister Lin Yuan in Kongcang Mountain, Baili An originally wanted to set off immediately to deliver this news.

He wondered how Little Deer and Jin Sheng were now faring.

He had always been very interested in Wu Bu of the Tianxi Sword Sect, the Thunder Body genius. Even though he was crippled by Su Jingyin and Baishuang, Baili An could see that the Heavenly Seal Sword Master truly intended for Wu Bu to replace Jin Sheng and inherit the Yuanli Sword.

But before he could plan his departure, a huge problem arose next to Baili An.

Just after he had finished writing a routine greeting to send to his long-uncontacted Sister Wen at Taixuan of Nanze Mountain, and let out the flying luan for the message, Baili An’s shadow began to churn restlessly at his feet.

From within the dread-filled Ghost Qi, a bald-tailed black wolf emerged from his shadow.

Baili An was shocked, his eyeballs nearly fell to the ground. Was this the Netherworld Wolf Wanguan from the Battle Ghost clan?

A creature from the world within the Bronze Gate had actually hidden in his shadow and been brought to the Mortal World?!

The named Wanguan would not extricate itself from the shadow without the summoning of its master unless it was in a state of extreme hunger.

The Netherworld Wolf had once suffered the cruel punishment of the Hungry Path. The gods of the world within the gate had pierced its upper and lower jaws with a Bronze Divine Sword, forcing it to endure bone-splitting and tooth-cracking agony with every meal.

Thus, the often starved Netherworld Wolf would only bring forth a cataclysm akin to the Great Cambrian extinction to the Bronze Gate when its hunger became unbearable.

Looking at the fierce light in Wanguan’s eyes and the drool from its mouth, which instantly froze into a terrifyingly dark ice upon touching the ground, just a few drops of saliva turned the entire hall into an icy Abyss Hell.

Startled, Baili An hurriedly grabbed some snacks from the table and threw them into its mouth, ordering it to calm down.

However, Wanguan, driven mad by hunger, could not be satisfied with mere snacks. After gulping them down, its eyes grew even more fierce, and its shape and aura gradually became terrifying.

Its claws scratched frantically on the ground, and it seemed as if it was ready to devour Baili An alive.

Inside the Glazed Umbrella, the Yin Spirit White Tiger, extremely sensitive to malevolent Qi, broke free from the umbrella surface and burst out, stepping on Yin Fire and howling fiercely, loyally protecting Baili An with an intimidating tiger presence.

Though the Yin Spirit White Tiger was powerful, in comparison to the Netherworld Wolf, it had no chance of competing. Fearing that the Netherworld Wolf would swallow his tiger whole, Baili An barked sharply, “Wanguan!”

Shadows danced wildly beneath Wanguan’s feet, forcefully pulling it back into the dark shadows. As the Netherworld Wolf struggled violently, Baili An faintly felt that his spiritual power also began to falter under such frenzied consumption.

To calm it down now, he needed to let it feast properly.

But within the Inner City of Xianling, strict city rules were enforced, and food was not served out of time. Now that the time of Hai had passed, finding food to feed the Netherworld Wolf would probably require a trip to the border city.

Baili An had no choice but to fill his wallet and prepare to set out.

The Yin Spirit White Tiger, with its high spirituality, seemed to understand that Baili An was going to find food for that bald-tailed wolf. It lay down next to the Glazed Umbrella, its tail drooping, gazing eagerly at Baili An with a look of longing.

Baili An was taken aback, then laughed, “Are you hungry too?”

The Yin Spirit White Tiger twisted its massive body to rub against Baili An’s legs, its large head nuzzling affectionately against his shins.

Baili An felt troubled as he gestured at the tiger’s large size in the air, saying with difficulty, “You’re so big, how am I to bring you along?”

In a border city filled with mortals, although the Netherworld Wolf could be hidden in his shadow for secret feeding, bringing out the Yin Spirit White Tiger so boldly would likely scare a multitude of people.
