The words of Wu Ming caused Ye Zi's mouth to twitch noticeably. Was Wu Ming's boasting too overt? Moreover, this was far too shocking. The previously hideous toad had transford into such a beautiful woman in the blink of an eye, which completely defied logic. Wukong too felt surprised, so he instinctively opened his Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes. Back when he was on the journey to the West, there had been so uglier female demons who, in an attempt to charm and deceive, transford into extrely beautiful won, but under the gaze of the Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, they would all be reverted to their original forms.
However, when the two rays of golden light from Wukong's Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes shone upon the woman, the female form that Hidden Mountain had assud did not change at all. This ant that the peerlessly beautiful woman before them was indeed the human form that Hidden Mountain had developed after her cultivation, without undergoing any further illusion transformations. When Wukong added the power of the Heaven and Earth Tao Eye to his Fire Eyes in disbelief, the scene before him abruptly changed.
Under the scrutiny of the Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, Wukong could now see Hidden Mountain's original form. He had thought that after seeing through Hidden Mountain's beautiful appearance, he would be t with the sight of an ugly toad. But once again, he was taken aback by surprise because, under the Heaven and Earth Fire Eyes, the Hidden Mountain's true body was that of a Blood Jade Toad. It wasn't as large as it appeared before, only half a ter tall, and its entire body shimred like blood jade, with deep red and light red crystalline glows twining within and on its surface, presenting an extrely pleasing sight.
This Hidden Mountain, with her original form being so beautiful, it was no wonder her human manifestation was such a beautiful woman. Could it be that the revolting toad covered with pus and venom was just an illusion created by Hidden Mountain to fool others? But why would Hidden Mountain do such a thing? Wukong had indeed seen such behavior before. In the Pangu Realm, there were often creatures or plants that were very beautiful in their essence but weak in strength, and they would add so ugly decorations or appearances to conceal their beautiful yet fragile selves.
But such actions didn't seem to fit with Hidden Mountain, who, despite having only the strength of a Nine Patterns Supre, boasted unique abilities that undoubtedly ranked her among the top ten existences in the Patrolling Celestial World. She shouldn't have any threats. Before Wukong could voice his question, Wu Ming had already started explaining on behalf of Hidden Mountain to everyone. It was this explanation that gradually dissolved the Dragon Emperor's hostility towards Hidden Mountain. Whether that was because of Wu Ming's words or Hidden Mountain's beauty was sothing only the Dragon Emperor knew.
"This is truly a long story, but to put it simply, there are two things! The first is that back when Hidden Mountain had only achieved the Cultivation Level of Six Patterns, and I was at Eight Patterns, we encountered a group of people. Those people were clad in ragged Armor, bound by heavy chains, yet unbelievably strong. Among them, there was a leader who we did not recognize at the ti, only to later learn that his na was Qian Yuye!"
Just as Wu Ming got to this part, Ming Tiekuang, who had been silent until now, suddenly changed his expression and violently pulled Wu Ming towards him, furrowing his brow and asking, "Say it again, who was that person?" Wu Ming got startled by Ming Tiekuang's intense reaction and subconsciously turned into a cloud of red mist, but then seed to recall and embarrassedly said, "Uh, haha, it's just a habit, just a habit. I said his na is Qian Yuye, what about it?" Upon hearing Wu Ming's confirmation, Ming Tiekuang muttered to himself, "He is still alive, Qian Yuye, you are actually still alive?"
Wukong also found the na Qian Yuye sowhat familiar, but he could not recall where he had heard it at that mont. So, he asked with curiosity, "Do you know this Qian Yuye?" Ming Tiekuang's face darkened as he nodded and spoke lowly, "I was originally the Chief Combat Commander of the Divine Army squadron, and that Qian Yuye was the deputy commander of the Underworld God Army. Both his strength and rank were above . But in that great battle, he was clearly dead, how could he still be alive?" Afterward, Ming Tiekuang asked again, "How did you know that person is called Qian Yuye?"
Wu Ming glanced at Hidden Mountain before saying, "Lord Ming, don't be anxious. Although we knew each other from before, I never told you about these things. Don't be hasty, listen to explain slowly." Ming Tiekuang and Wu Ming, although they knew each other, it was only limited to when they were working for the Spirit Controller. In fact, the two of them weren't very familiar with each other; they rely knew there was such a person carrying out the Spirit Controller's tasks.
"When we encountered that group of people, that Qian Yuye took a liking to Xiao Yin, not because of her appearance, but because her true form is that of a Blood Jade Toad. If he could Devour Xiao Yin, his Vital Energy and the toughness of his flesh and ridians would greatly improve, and he would also form a Blood Pill within himself, which could provide an enormous amount of pure Spiritual Power and Vital Energy. Therefore, he wanted to catch Xiao Yin and Devour her. At that ti, Xiao Yin and I were not as strong as we are now, and were no match for them, so we were captured after a desperate resistance."
As Wu Ming spoke, Wukong noticed that fear was continuously flickering within Hidden Mountain's Invisibility. Now it seed that Hidden Mountain had completely lost the deanor she had faced the Dragon Emperor with before, instead resembling a gentle and refined lady. Wu Ming turned to look at Hidden Mountain again, gently caressing her stunning face, and continued, "Right when we were captured by those people, and I thought for sure Xiao Yin and I were going to die, we were mysteriously rescued. When I ca to, Xiao Yin and I were already at the foot of Blood Mist Mountain. At the ti, I didn't know what had happened, or why we suddenly appeared in this place."
"Later on, I learned that it was the Spirit Controller who had secretly saved us and told to have Xiao Yin and to cultivate peacefully at Blood Mist Mountain. In the future, he would assign us a task, and once it was completed, Xiao Yin and I would be completely free, and the Spirit Controller would send us to a world without conflict. After that, in order to prevent similar incidents, Xiao Yin used a Secret Technique to turn her true body into that ugly toad's appearance."
Upon reflecting on these matters, what Sun Wukong considered was the deeper aning behind the actions of the Spirit Controller, for he knew that he had unavoidably been drawn into this vortex, and the more he understood, the better his chances of survival would be. Judging from the Spirit Controller's previous behavior, he actually harbored animosity towards the Underworld God Army of the Patrolling Celestial World. That's why he had the company of Ming Tiekuang and gave Sun Wukong the task of slaughtering the Underworld God Army as much as possible. From this, Sun Wukong could deduce that one reason the Spirit Controller saved Wu Ming was to keep a card up his sleeve for future moves against the Underworld God Army, and another, he feared, was his reluctance to let Qian Yuye devour Hidden Mountain. If that were to happen, it was very likely that with the vital energy provided by Hidden Mountain, he might be able to break free from the chains that bound him.
As for how Sun Wukong knew that those people were the Underworld God Army, he had just rembered, and Ming Tiekuang had already confird that Qian Yuye was indeed a mber of the Underworld God Army, and held a very high status. All these things conveyed the sa ssage to Sun Wukong: the Spirit Controller truly wanted to eliminate the Underworld God Army and felt good about it, yet he couldn't take action personally. Therefore, on one hand, he ensured their safety and, on the other hand, weakened them as much as possible.
Thinking this, Sun Wukong's face suddenly revealed a radiant smile, turning to Wu Ming, he said, "Wu Ming, I think our cooperation will be very pleasant, because our biggest enemy is the Underworld God Army. You must already know, Qian Yuye is a mber of the Underworld God Army!" Wu Ming didn't show much surprise or joy, just nodded and replied, "I already knew that, my task is to help you defeat the Underworld God Army. So you can completely trust ."
After speaking, Wu Ming turned to the Dragon Emperor and said, "Dragon Lord, the misunderstanding with Little Concealnt before was indeed a mistake." The Dragon Emperor had cald down a lot by now, and although there was still so anger on his face, he did not interrupt Wu Ming. Wu Ming continued, "After Little Concealnt and I arrived at Blood Mist Mountain and received the ssage from Lord Spirit Controller, we endured hardships and cultivated on Blood Mist Mountain. It was not until I broke through to the Domain Lord Level, and Little Concealnt reached the Nine Patterns Supre, that I thought of seeking vengeance on Qian Yuye."
Then Wu Ming's voice suddenly beca sowhat awkward, "But I didn't know if I could defeat Qian Yuye with my strength at that ti, so..."
"So you went to challenge ? Treated as a touchstone?" said the Dragon Emperor, his anger flaring once more, yet he did not lash out. Wu Ming hurriedly smiled and explained, "Well, wasn't I really out of options? I knew with your pride, Dragon Lord, if soone ca to challenge you, you would definitely not let your subordinates take action. So even if I couldn't beat you, I might still be able to escape. But if I went to seek vengeance on Qian Yuye, even if I could defeat him, as soon as his subordinates sward , I would still die there."
Seeing the Dragon Emperor's expression softening sowhat, Wu Ming continued, "The subsequent facts proved that my ability was utterly suppressed in front of you, Dragon Lord, and I nearly t my end there. Luckily, my original form is quite miraculous, and I barely escaped with my life. To prevent the Dragon Emperor from pursuing , Little Concealnt was forced to use such a strategy, presenting himself in the form of an ugly toad to fake courtship. With your pride, you would certainly not agree, but due to face, you probably wouldn't kill either. So please calm your anger, Dragon Lord, let's just let bygones be bygones, shall we? If you are not feeling comfortable, Dragon Lord, you can beat up—just don't implicate Little Concealnt anymore!"
Having said this, Wu Ming puffed out his chest very nobly, looking the very picture of righteousness.
But the Dragon Emperor's response was straightforward. Without a word, he turned and kicked out, sending Wu Ming flying without any suspense. As he was sent flying, Wu Ming almost cursed loudly, "You actually did it, you really hit , don't you have any humanity? What I said was so touching, and yet you still hit !"
The Dragon Emperor's face suddenly showed a hint of amusent as he said, "I am a dragon, I was never a human to begin with!"
