Chapter 42: Chapter 42 Hidden Forest Mountain [Extra update for the Alliance Hierarch “Tactical XT”]_1
“?”
A question mark slowly appeared on Chu Liang’s forehead.
Goodness, he seed to have co across the Cao ngde of the demon world.
“There’s nothing I could do, his power in the Hidden Forest Mountain is too great for
to resist,” the Cat King said, “I don’t want to force my little sister, but before leaving, Tiger King ntioned that he is going to prepare for the wedding when he returns, and after three days he will co to get my sister for the wedding. If my sister is not here by then, he will get angry…”
Chu Liang cast another glance at Lady Ming and asked, “Did you not ntion that you had previously obtained the decree from Shu Mountain?”
“My little sister did ntion it to
that we could ask for help from Shu Mountain, but… I dare not.” Cat King shook his head, “For us minor forest demons, the thing we fear the most is indeed cultivators…. Not to ntion that we dare not harm humans, even when we encounter soone who has lost their way in the mountains, fallen and injured, or drowning, we will rush to save them. We’re afraid that if soone dies in the mountains, the humans will suspect that it was a monster’s deed and start a search and destroy mission.”
Chu Liang could kind of understand his dilemma.
The prevailing perception among the human clan still regards Evil Demons as enemies. If anyone encounters a monster, they can’t wait to kill it off.
There are also so cultivators with ulterior motives who use demonic creatures as materials for refining dicines or forging souls, killing indiscriminately. After all, killing people is against the law, but killing demons isn’t protected by any law.
Each of these incidents heightens the minor demons’ fear of cultivators.
But is not the fear of the human clan towards Evil Demons deep-rooted as well?
The evil deeds committed in each group is often carried out by the evil fraction within that group. But in the end, the entire group has to bear the consequences.
Demons like the Eastern Mountain Cat Clan that have to struggle to survive are by no ans few in number.
“I’m not sure about others, but at least we from the Shu Mountain Sect follow reason,” Chu Liang could only say so.
“Alas…” Cat King shook his head again, “You are taking my sister away tonight. Tomorrow, when the Tiger King’s wedding procession arrives, our Eastern Mountain Cat Clan will be massacred. If you really want to help us, please take my sister away quickly, so we can have a little more ti to escape.”
He looked back at his henchn, “I just don’t know if we will survive after leaving our territory.”
Chu Liang pondered for a mont.
Humans may find it emotionally challenging to leave their hotowns. However, for the Demonic Clan to find a new habitat, there is a high likelihood of accompanying bloodshed and war, which is indeed dangerous.
They need food, they need a dwelling, and they need a suitable environnt; they absolutely cannot survive just anywhere.
And…
“Does the Tiger King have a lot of demons under his command?” Chu Liang suddenly asked.
“Hidden Forest Mountain is the largest demonic power within a hundred miles of Xingzhou City. Tiger King probably has hundreds of minor demons under his command,” answered Cat King.
“What is the Tiger King’s cultivation level?” Chu Liang asked again.
“He has been cultivating for seven to eight hundred years. According to classification of the human clan, he should be a demon of the Fourth or Fifth Stage,” answered Cat King.
“If…” Chu Liang slowly said, “If I help you get rid of Tiger King, wouldn’t that solve all your troubles?”
“This….” The Cat King was stunned for a mont, not knowing what Chu Liang was planning.
Although he had the capability of defeating himself, he surely couldn’t have the ability to defeat Tiger King, right?
Of course, Chu Liang wouldn’t entertain such suicidal thoughts.
His biggest reliance on daring to propose this was naturally the Jade Talisman given to him by his master. As long as he could summon Empress Feng, no matter how many subordinates Tiger King had, he would definitely be able to crush his soul and defeat him, with nowhere to hide…
Moreover, in this task he was conducting, he hadn’t made any gains yet. He could not consider it a sect mission, nor did he capture any monsters.
These Eastern Mountain Cat Clan mbers were all kindly little demons, he could not possibly just casually kill a few for a reward.
He seed to have co here in vain.
If he were to just take Lady Ming and leave, he might indirectly harm these little cat demons.
Taking all these factors into consideration, it might be better to simply go ahead and eliminate the demonic creatures of Hidden Forest Mountain. Those were all rampant and evil demons. If he could kill a few for so rewards, it would be better than coming here for nothing.
Of course, the most important factor was not the reward, but maintaining justice and eradicating evil.
Yes.
Pondering this, he gave the Cat King a slight smile, “Since I’ve asked so, certainly I have so hope of dealing with him. As long as you can help , I can save your sister. How about it?”
“I am willing!” The Cat King looked at Chu Liang’s relaxed face and couldn’t help but feel this person was indeed trustworthy. He showed an earnest excitent in his eyes, nodded heavily, and said, “But could you please untie this rope first, young hero?”
…
Hidden Forest Mountain.
Located one hundred and twenty miles east of Xingzhou City, the high mountains and deep valleys are densely wooded and strategically easy to defend but hard to attack. In the early years, it was a place where bandits and outlaws lood. Later, as fewer and fewer people began to use the nearby roads, the strongn in the mountains gradually disappeared. At so point, it once again beca a place where Evil Demons gathered.
Today, there were sounds of drums and gongs in the mountain, which could be heard faintly from outside the mountain range.
If one climbed up the steep slope to the peak, they would see batches of minor demons blowing and beating drums joyously, so were even dressed in red costus waving all sorts of implents.
With a festive atmosphere.
These were not just the minor demons of Hidden Forest Mountain, but also the Demon Kings that had good relations within a hundred-mile radius had co to congratulate, as today was the wedding day of Tiger King of Hidden Forest Mountain.
Tiger King was powerful. He had beco the largest Demon King in the vicinity within a few years of his arrival at Hidden Forest Mountain. He was known for his love of robbing won, and there were dozens of won in his cave, but this ti was the only ti he made a grand occasion.
The minor Demon Kings nearby knew that Tiger King had been wandering around lately, trying to consolidate the scattered demonic powers in the vicinity. This gathering was less of a wedding and more of a display of Tiger King’s strength.
Before long, a grand procession was seen approaching.
At the forefront was a large elephant, with a big red flower ball on its head. On the back of the elephant sat a giant-like man who was nearly ten feet tall. His face was covered with black beard. Despite wearing the groom’s attire, he still could not cover the formidable air about him. He was none other than the Tiger King!
Behind him, a group of minor demons were lined up in twos, making noise with their drums and gongs. In the middle of the group, eight minor demons were carrying a large red sedan chair.
The bride inside the sedan was said to be a little cat demon from the Eastern Mountain Cat Clan. However, most of the monsters present had never heard of this Eastern Mountain Cat Clan.
Following the wedding procession were a few demons that seed to be from the bride’s family from Eastern Mountain. The Cat King who was leading them had a drained look on his face. The others behind him looked insignificant and should all be so naless minor demons.
However…
Among these minor demons from the Eastern Mountain Cat Clan, there seed to be one that was different from the rest.
He stood tall and straight and despite his similar cat-like appearance and furry body, his deanor was sowhat elegant and congenial.
And…
The way he looked at the crowd of demons was not the sa as the other cat demons with their complex emotions of fear, admiration, and respect….Instead, his eyes shone with anticipation.
It was as if he was looking at a treasure trove.
