Best Young Master-Chapter 1416 - 1290: Guardian Xuan Beast
Spirit Turtle Island is a crucial domain of the Xuanwu Sect. Except for some elders with exceedingly high status, ordinary disciples aren’t even qualified to cultivate there.
Because of this, Spirit Turtle Island has been very quiet and harmonious for hundreds of years. Even if some core disciples cultivate there, it doesn’t cause much commotion!
However, today this atmosphere of tranquility has been completely shattered!
Shen Tu isn’t one to easily keep peace. After a challenging retreat, he finally formed his Holy Embryo and felt that he just had to let off some steam after such a long time!
As a result, his wolf howl was heard by the Bai Yan wolf that had just returned from outside...
The Bai Yan wolf detested anyone imitating it throughout its life and immediately stared with its brass bell-like old wolf eyes, baring its teeth and rushing over.
"Uh... where did this White Dog come from?"
Shen Tu didn’t recognize the Bai Yan wolf as the leader and thought it was a dog. Then he happily exclaimed, "What a fortune, just came out and I can enjoy a pot of dog meat to nourish myself, it’s been a long time since I’ve tasted meat..."
"Damn it, still thinking of stewing me! This is simply Uncle can tolerate, Aunt cannot!" The Bai Yan wolf roared angrily upon hearing this, flashed its body, leaped up, and bit Shen Tu’s wrist directly.
"I am the unique, peerless, majestic White Wolf King in heaven and earth, and you said I’m a dog? I’ll bite you to death!" The Bai Yan wolf was quite arrogant, even though it was injured, it remained extremely fierce. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"Ah... let go!"
Shen Tu never expected the Bai Yan wolf to be so fast. Before he could react, the Bai Yan wolf had already bitten his wrist, causing him to scream miserably like a pig being slaughtered.
The Bai Yan wolf’s skin is thick, and its flesh is firm. Its strength is unparalleled, and few cultivators can withstand its bite in the Holy Embryo realm.
Although Shen Tu formed the Holy Embryo and stepped into the Holy Embryo realm, he was still no match for the Bai Yan wolf, and his wrist was nearly bitten off.
"Old Bai, let go, he’s one of us!"
Ye Fan happened to arrive, hearing Shen Tu’s screams, he hurriedly came over to persuade.
"No way, this kid has to apologize to me and also give me some compensation to heal my wounded pride!"
The Bai Yan wolf squinted its eyes, looking like it wouldn’t let go unless compensated.
"Help, Ye Fan!"
At this point, Shen Tu realized he provoked something he shouldn’t have and quickly begged Ye Fan for help.
"I can’t do anything, you’d better give in! This Bai Yan wolf doesn’t recognize relatives, only spirit stones and treasures!" Ye Fan said to Shen Tu, holding back his laughter.
"Let go, Wolf Elder, no, Wolf Master, I was wrong, I know my mistake, please have mercy!"
Shen Tu, not one to suffer a loss, immediately admitted defeat upon knowing Ye Fan couldn’t save him, begging repeatedly.
"Just talking isn’t enough, where’s the treasure?"
The Bai Yan wolf is typical of not releasing without benefit, without spirit stones or treasures. No matter how Shen Tu pleaded, it remained unmoved.
Left with no choice, Shen Tu painfully took out a top-grade spirit stone he had treasured for years to redeem himself.
Unexpectedly, the Bai Yan wolf was unimpressed by top-grade spirit stones and grumbled as Shen Tu took out only a fist-sized piece of top-grade spirit stone, "Are you trying to fool a beggar? What other treasures do you have, bring them all out!"
"That’s all I have, it’s my best spirit stone. If you don’t believe me, I brought everything out; you can pick yourself!"
Shen Tu was close to tears. He thought forming the Holy Embryo and breaking into the Holy Embryo realm would finally let him proudly raise his head. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of retreat, he was robbed by a greedy wolf demon, and he wasn’t a match at all, ensuring he suffered in silence.
"Really poor!"
The Bai Yan wolf rummaged through the materials and spirit stones Shen Tu had taken out, eventually choosing the two best materials. Naturally, it didn’t leave the top-grade spirit stone it initially disdained.
"Damn it, this dead wolf..."
Shen Tu rubbed his wrist and silently resented. Although the Bai Yan wolf hadn’t transformed yet, it made him, an early-stage expert of the Holy Embryo realm, almost powerless, extremely frustrated.
"Kid, you’re definitely cursing me in your heart now, right?"
The Bai Yan wolf glanced at Shen Tu, seeing right through his thoughts.
"No! How could I? I’m far from done admiring you!"
Shen Tu hurriedly denied, joking aside, this vicious wolf is exceedingly fast, its body is tough as divine iron, and it’s incredibly strong. He really doesn’t want to tempt fate again.
"Forget it, considering you’ve offered up two pieces of material to me, I won’t hold it against you!" The Bai Yan wolf displayed a generous demeanor, making Shen Tu gnash his teeth in hatred.
If not for the severe bite earlier that left him wary, Shen Tu really wanted to inflict a couple of punches on its wounded back.
"Hey, Old Bai, aren’t you supposed to have copper skin and iron bones? How did you end up like this?"
Ye Fan looked at the shocking wound on the back of the Bai Yan wolf and couldn’t help but ask.
He knew Shen Tu couldn’t possibly hurt it, so he was really curious about what kind of opponent it had encountered to end up in such a sorry state.
"Don’t even mention it. If it weren’t for you all, would I have to misuse myself like this?"
The Bai Yan wolf looked bitter and resentful, picked up the little creature that was messing around nearby, and said angrily, "It’s because of this little thing!"
Seeing the small creature struggling in the Bai Yan wolf’s mouth, both Ye Fan and Shen Tu were stunned!
They were quite knowledgeable but had never seen such a small beast, all furry like a fluff ball, with little eyes darting around, getting cuter the more you looked.
"What is this thing?"
Shen Tu couldn’t help but ask, the Xuanwu Sect located close to the Xuanshou Mountain Range, he had seen all kinds of strange Xuan Beasts, but he had never seen such a small beast.
"Hehe, speaking of this little guy, it’s got quite the background!"
The Bai Yan wolf looked smug as it recounted the origins of the little beast and why it got injured.
It turns out the Bai Yan wolf, during its days at the Xuanwu Sect, noticed that the large mountain gate didn’t have a single notable Xuan Beast, feeling that the sect was too poor.
Moreover, over these past days, it had often raided the Xuanwu Sect’s wine cellar and kitchen, but the Xuanwu Sect, to repay evil with virtue, not only turned a blind eye to its bad behavior but also sent their best chef to make delicious food for it, making the Bai Yan wolf feel a bit embarrassed.
Thus, to repay the kindness of the Xuanwu Sect, the Bai Yan wolf decided to get them a powerful Xuan Beast to guard the mountain gate.
Of course, the Bai Yan wolf didn’t care for any ordinary Xuan Beasts and found nothing too powerful during its days wandering around the outskirts of the Xuanshou Mountain Range.
To get a more powerful Xuan Beast, the Bai Yan wolf decided to venture into the central area of the Xuanshou Mountain Range, as only the center of the mountain range housed the best Xuan Beasts since it was the main camp of the Demon Clan.
As a Xuan Beast with royal bloodline, the Bai Yan wolf understood this very well.
Using its unparalleled sense of smell, the Bai Yan wolf stealthily crept into the central area of the Xuanshou Mountain Range without alerting anyone.
Approaching the central area of the Xuanshou Mountain Range, the Bai Yan wolf discovered a recently birthed "Mastiff Bear" with overwhelming combat power, still physically weak.
The Mastiff Bear is a powerful Xuan Beast that resembles both a mastiff dog and a violent bear, ranking among the top ten in combat power among all Xuan Beasts, only surpassed by some supremely cultivated Great Demons.
As a fellow Xuan Beast with royal blood, the Bai Yan wolf would be considered miraculous to hold its ground for three incense against it!
The Mastiff Bear had a notorious reputation, and even knowing it had just given birth, no Xuan Beast would dare target its baby, as it would be akin to courting death.
Only the bold Bai Yan wolf dared to do such a thing.
After the Mastiff Bear left, the Bai Yan wolf swiftly leapt over, its large claws drawing mysterious and incomprehensible beams of light, breaking the simple protective array set by the Mastiff Bear. It grabbed a Mastiff Bear cub and fled using the Chasing Star Step, but still ended up injured.
In the end, the Bai Yan wolf used all its strength to escape from the center of the Xuanshou Mountain Range.
"You’ve really got talent!"
After hearing the Bai Yan wolf’s story, Ye Fan and Shen Tu were utterly shocked and could only express such a sentiment after a long pause.
From the Bai Yan wolf’s account, it was undeniable that the Xuan Beast known as Mastiff Bear was indeed incredibly ferocious and powerful, probably not inferior to already transformed Demon Clan members.
The Bai Yan wolf, with its reckless courage, had stolen a newborn cub, wasn’t it bringing disaster upon the Xuanwu Sect?
"You brought someone’s child here, what if that Mastiff Bear comes looking for it?" Shen Tu asked the Bai Yan wolf, not pleased.
"Don’t worry, that Mastiff Bear will never step out of the central Xuanshou Mountain Range even half a step, or else you think I’d have the nerve to think about its offspring?"
The Bai Yan wolf confidently reassured, giving Shen Tu a sidelong glance as if it had everything under control.
Shen Tu was half-convinced.
But Ye Fan believed it completely.
Because...
The Bai Yan wolf, which had once followed the Thunder Venerable master, harbored too many untold secrets!
