Chapter 0076: Silver Moon Howling Wolf
The Immortal Binding Rope was drawn forth, and without any hesitation, it tied up the Nine-Eyed Demon Tiger, which had been knocked to the ground by the Sky Blue Python Ox. As Huang Long’s cultivation improved, the Immortal Binding Rope had been refined into a top-tier treasure, with new materials used. The Nine-Eyed Demon Tiger struggled desperately but could not escape. Under the golden light barrier of the Immortal Pavilion, it was captured and sealed within the Great Yan Divine Thunder Array.
Next, the Nine-Eyed Demon Tiger suffered the same fate as the Sky Blue Python Ox two years earlier. Inside the array, surrounded by thunder, flames, and thick smoke, the demon tiger let out agonized cries. Back then, Huang Long had needed Bog’s magical power to subdue the Sky Blue Python Ox, but now, with the Netherworld Divine Tree in the Immortal Pavilion absorbing natural energy to operate on its own, Huang Long no longer had to worry about it.
The demon tiger roared furiously inside the array, but Huang Long ignored it and went straight to his immortal residence. After sitting down, he ordered the Sky Blue Python Ox and the Great Asura Sulis to go and cultivate separately. Then, he took out a jade talisman and sent his mental energy to Bog to inquire about recent developments.
Not long after sending his mental message, Bog replied. From Bog’s message, Huang Long learned about the latest happenings in his estate. Over a month ago, the two young kids, Huang Liang and Huang Yi, took part in the Divine Wind Academy’s newcomer talent test. Naturally, their results shocked everyone even more than Huang Long’s own results back then. Huang Liang became a disciple of Ouyang Hai, while Huang Yi joined Yu Qi’s faction.
When the new teachers at the Divine Wind Academy learned that the two were Huang Long’s younger siblings, they became famous figures in the academy. It was within Huang Long’s expectations that Tang Wudi and the others would take a interest in them. Huang Long didn’t object to them becoming disciples, nor did he want to get involved in their future paths—after all, it wasn’t a bad thing.
As for the Orc Mercenary Group, it had encountered some minor issues in its development. Over the past two years, the Orc Mercenary Group had risen rapidly, drawing the attention of several large mercenary groups on the Hengyuan Continent. Some even began to covet its strength.
Among the lists Bog provided, the name of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group surprised Huang Long. It reminded him of the young master of that group, who had been kicked away by the Sky Blue Python Ox’s leg two months prior. It seemed fate really brought them together again. However, it wasn’t the right time to clash with the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, as they were the third-strongest mercenary group on the Hengyuan Continent.
Finally, from the list, Huang Long selected two B-rank mercenary groups with decent strength and instructed Bog to tell Orc Natt that they could be eliminated if necessary.
First, it can serve as a deterrent; second, it can boost the reputation of the Orc Mercenary Group. Since people have already noticed them, it’s impossible to hide any longer. It’s better to show some of the group’s strength, which will be more beneficial for its development.
Two years ago, when the Orc Mercenary Group was registered and established, Huang Long had already laid out a detailed plan. Thus, even if others tried to investigate, it would be difficult for them to uncover the connection between the group and him.
The Dragon Speech Empire hasn’t shown any activity yet. That Du Meng is truly able to hold back.
After the teams sent by the Holy Church and the Dragon Speech Empire because of those two kids, Huang Liang and Huang Yi, were wiped out by two Asuras and three beasts, it caused a huge uproar. However, despite the Holy Church and the Dragon Speech Empire’s attempts to investigate over the past two months, they found no clues.
Over these two years, Huang Long has also kept an eye on the demon princess. But it seems she has forgotten about the Sea of Death.
Huang Long reviewed everything, then passed on a jade talisman and instructions to Bog, asking him to pay attention to certain matters, before retreating to cultivate again.
While Huang Long was in seclusion, the Nine-Eyed Demon Tiger suffered greatly. Back then, the Sky Blue Python Ox was extremely arrogant but could only hold out for two hours in the Great Yan Divine Thunder Array of the Immortal Pavilion. One can imagine what became of the Nine-Eyed Demon Tiger.
A month later, when Huang Long woke up from his seclusion, the Nine-Eyed Demon Tiger had been tortured beyond recognition.
When it stepped out of the Immortal Pavilion and saw the light of day again, it looked at Huang Long and even shed tears like a tiger. Its mouth was closed, its fangs hidden, and it trembled on the ground.
“Master, I was wrong!” the Nine-Eyed Demon Tiger said in a trembling voice.
It seems that a month of torture had terrified it completely. It no longer wanted to return to that hellish place.
When Huang Long placed the spiritual beast seal in the Nine-Eyed Demon Tiger’s mind, the Magu Immortal Cave gained another guardian spirit beast, while the Sky Blue Python Ox got a new playmate.
After subduing the Nine-Eyed Demon Tiger, Huang Long rode on the Sky Blue Python Ox and, guided by the tiger, explored its territory.
The Nine-Eyed Demon Tiger’s territory was quite large, covering hundreds of square miles. With its green mountains and clear waters, it was very peaceful—hard to believe it was in the heart of the Magical Beast Mountains.
“Not bad, Tiger Brother. You’ve chosen a great place—much better than where I was in the Sea of Death,” said the Sky Blue Python Ox, reflecting on its days in the Sea of Death after seeing the territory.
“Hehe, that’s right. It’s on the edge of the heart of the Warcraft Mountains. My place is the best here.” Hearing the words of the Sky Blue Python Ox, the Nine-Eyed Demon Tiger shook its head proudly, about to let out a roar to show off its might as a tiger king. But as soon as it saw the Yellow Dragon, it quickly closed its mouth again.
Showing off its might in front of its master? That’s just asking for trouble.
After wandering around for a while, the Yellow Dragon asked, “Ah Hu, tell me about the situation around your territory.”
The Nine-Eyed Demon Tiger’s eyes lit up as it understood what its master meant. It quickly replied respectfully, “Yes, master. About 300 li north of my territory, there’s a cold pond, and in that pond lives a Purple-Ringed Flying Python. That purple python is extremely powerful.”
“South of here, about 200 li away, in a grassland, lives a Silver Moon Howling Wolf. Every full moon night, this wolf goes to the mountain peak and howls loudly, disturbing me greatly.”
“West of here, about 200 li away, in a swampy area, lies that nine-headed creature’s territory. That guy is extremely troublesome and often comes to my territory to cause trouble.”
The Nine-Eyed Demon Tiger described the situation around its territory. When talking about the nine-headed serpent, its tone was filled with hatred, showing that the two had a deep grudge against each other.
After the Nine-Eyed Demon Tiger finished speaking, the Yellow Dragon used its Heavenly Vision to spot the Purple-Ringed Flying Python in the north, the Silver Moon Howling Wolf in the south, and the nine-headed serpent in the west.
When the Yellow Dragon used its Heavenly Vision, the Purple-Ringed Flying Python and the nine-headed serpent weren’t a big issue. But the Silver Moon Howling Wolf seemed to have noticed something. It stood up, and a vertical eye similar to a third eye opened between its brows, emitting a silver moonlight.
“That wolf is quite interesting,” said the Yellow Dragon. “Let’s go and meet this wolf.”
“Yes, master!” The Nine-Eyed Demon Tiger replied cheerfully.
That wolf had disturbed it with its howling every full moon night. But every time it tried to confront it, it couldn’t do anything. This time, with its master around, heh, it was time for the tiger to show some power.
