Chapter 113: Dharma Protector Heijiu

“Okay, could you please go outside for a moment? I need to change my clothes. You are not allowed to come in, or else…” Bi Ling told Su Yi.

“Sure, take your time to recover. I will protect you and don’t worry, I won’t peep on you.”

Su Yi turned, waved his hand, and left the cave.

“Then, that’s for the best. Don’t come in.” Seeing Su Yi leave, Bi Ling still worried about him peeping. She took two more glances, then lifted a huge boulder and sealed the mouth of the cave. Only after doing all this did she feel safe.

“He is a bit special.” Finishing all this work, Bi Ling mumbled to herself. Compared to Zhouda, Guoyan, and Qingfeng, this youth was way too different.

Outside the cave, seeing the mouth of the cave tightly sealed, Su Yi could only smile. Then, he fell into deep thought.

“Blood Spiritual Ginseng.” Su Yi was still thinking about that spiritual herb. If he had the chance to obtain it, he would be able to save his Grandfather.

In the dense forest, a huge mess was made. Trees were broken, boulders were shattered, and blood was splashed all over the place. Over ten people stood there, slightly trembling in their hearts at this sight.

“Leader, over ten of our elite brothers have been killed again. We cannot continue like this!” A man spoke to Tao Tiancheng. There weren’t many people left in the party anymore.

“There are signs of beasts. This was not even caused by that brat! Damn!” Tao Tiancheng inspected the area and found traces of beasts. There were only battered, mashed-up corpses with torn limbs scattered across the place. This was the work of beasts.

“Unless that kid has a strong beast by his side!” The man was shocked. He had already felt the remaining auras of the beasts around. This only proves that the kid has tamed beasts following him around. If that was the case, they had to re-evaluate the kid’s identity.

“I don’t care whether or not he owns a beast; I will not let him go.” Tao Tiancheng’s face was grim. He had nurtured the adventurer party for so long, and now, with such severe losses, his reputation was tarnished even in his own territory. If he didn’t capture this brat alive, what face would he have left to show in the Forest of Demons? The only way to recover from such heavy losses was to deliver that kid alive to Black Fiend School.

“What about the Vice-Leader? Why is he not here yet?” Tao Tiancheng was extremely displeased, with the appearance of high-level beasts, and from what he could tell from the remains of the battlefield, there were more than one beasts present. The matter had also developed further and further away out of his imagination. He had to be ready to face anything now.

“Leader, the Vice-Leader has sent a message that once he finished his work, he would rush over.” His subordinate reported.

“What is this Wang Yuchen trying to do? Do my words mean nothing to him anymore?” Tao Tiancheng’s face fell even further. He had already ordered his men to send messages several times already, yet his Vice-Leader Wang Yuchen still hadn’t arrived. This was a plain and simple way to challenge his authority.

“Careful! Someone is here!” Before finishing his sentence, Tao Tiancheng’s face suddenly changed and he looked straight ahead of him.

“Howl! Howl! Howl! Howl!” Suddenly, roars and howls of beasts rang out in their surroundings. The trees shook and in several seconds, Hell Wolves numbering not less than 200 pounced out from the trees. Their appearance was ferocious, their canines bared, causing people to tremble.

The auras of more than ten adventurers surged through the air, but, in front of a pack of more than 200 Hell Wolves, they could not help but feel chills run down their spine.

“Are we encountering a Beast Tide? Why are there so many Hell Wolves?!” the men shivered in fear at this sight. There were so many Hell Wolves, and though their cultivation levels were not high, it was not something their group could deal with.

“It can’t be. Hell Wolves are small in numbers. One pack would at most only have a few wolves. This huge number of Hell Wolves could only mean someone has tamed them all!” Someone responded. With just this number of Hell Wolves, it could not possibly be a Beast Tide, they should have been tamed by someone.

Tao Tiancheng’s face changed. He understood clearly that the last time he had paid big money to rent those 20 Hell Wolves could already be considered an almost impossible feat. Someone who could use so many Hell Wolves at once must have a very large backing.

“Whoosh! Whoosh!” Closely following behind the Hell Wolves were tens of figures.

“It’s the Vice-Leader! The Vice-Leader is here!” Seeing a slightly fat and short man at the front of the figures, the adventurers were ecstatic. That man was their Vice-Leader, Wang Yuchen.

Tao Tiancheng was displeased and suspicious. Although there were some adventurers from his party present, the remaining group of people, numbering in the tens, were strangers. Among them were several cultivators with incredibly strong auras. One glance was enough to tell that they were from a large organization.

Especially the old man, who stood taller than everyone else by a full head, yet his frame was as thin as a stick. The brown robe that draped over his body made him appear like a skeleton wearing clothes. His cheeks were gaunt, barely covered with flesh, his high cheekbones jutting out. His forehead bulged, and his deep-set eyes were like those of a black cuckoo, peering from the darkness of the forest.

“Black Fiend School!” Seeing the old man, Tao Tiancheng couldn’t help but shudder. This person exuded immense strength, far beyond the average cultivator. What’s more, all these strangers wore the same insignia on their clothes. Though Tao Tiancheng may not have any personal business with Black Fiend School, he recognized them for who they were. These were men of Black Fiend School.

“Leader let me introduce you to this person. This is Dharma Protector Heijiu of Black Fiend School.” Wang Yuchen walked forward with his short and plump figure, his face held a smile as he walked in front of Tao Tiancheng.

“Wang Yuchen, you…!” Tao Tiancheng’s face changed. These were men from Black Fiend School. Now that his Vice-Leader had arrived with brothers from the party and men from Black Fiend School, how could he not understand that Wang Yuchen had secretly contacted Black Fiend School and joined their side?

“Leader, I think you better explain the situation to Dharma Protector Heijiu. Do you have any news of that kid?” Wang Yuchen continued smiling, not at all affected by Tao Tiancheng’s ugly expression.

“Where is that kid now? Is he the one my Black Fiend School is looking for? I want all the information you have now, or else you know the consequences!” Heijiu looked at Tao Tiancheng. His voice was sharp, piercing the ears of people. It was just like a screech from a cuckoo at night, making people feel uncomfortable.

One day later, the cave opened.

Bi Ling walked out, her body adorned in a long, flowing aquamarine skirt embroidered with delicate, flower-like markings. Her lush black hair cascaded over her shoulders as she moved, her steps embodying the grace of the world itself. With every step, a soft radiance seemed to surround her. Her lips were a delicate shade of red, and her face had regained a healthy rosiness.

Outside the cave, Su Yi was squatting in front of a campfire on a pile of rocks. His face was slightly smeared with smoke. When he saw Bi Ling emerging from the cave, he couldn’t help but fall into a daze.
