From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 127 Black Tiger King
The mountain breeze blew up the dust, the sunset glow in the sky looked like blood, and a tense atmosphere spread.

A group of more than ten people from the Cui family came up the mountain, their gorgeous clothes fluttering, and each of them was surrounded by red light rain, looking very imposing.

Chen Xuan stood on the top of the mountain and looked at them. The leader was Cui Tianhe, who had once surrounded the old turtle in Shangyang Cave. His face was calm, and a Bifang bird was swimming in his red-gold eyes.

"Heroes emerge from youth. You're only nineteen, right? Fighting dragons, snatching the Human Emperor Banner, and becoming enemies with the Cui family—all these great deeds are truly remarkable."

Cui Tianhe stopped and looked at Chen Xuan with the attitude of a superior, and uttered words of praise, as if he really thought Chen Xuan was a promising and good junior.

Behind him, Cui Che and other Taoist monks all stared at Chen Xuan fiercely, some with angry expressions, and some with cold expressions.

"Oh? City Lord Cui admires me very much. It seems you came here specifically to apologize to me?"

Chen Xuan blinked and replied.

He heard the sarcasm in Cui Tianhe's words and retorted directly. Although he was no match for the powerful Dinglu, he was very confident in his heart. Lord Shanjun had severely taught him a lesson and told him that he didn't have to give face to anyone in the Southern Wilderness.

The little dog's eyes shone with golden light. He squatted quietly at Chen Xuan's feet without saying a word, as if he was completely led by Chen Xuan.

Behind Chen Xuan, there were four or five tiger cubs in the Daozang realm, with their arms folded across their chests. They were all over ten feet tall, with broad and strong bodies, like platinum iron towers, giving off a heavy sense of oppression.

There are no cowards in the Hu family. They are brave and courageous. Even when facing the powerful Dinglu who comes to bully them, no one is afraid.

"You're sharp-tongued, but I do admire you. It's a pity that you act without mercy, repeatedly killing several members of the Cui family in Daozang Realm and creating a mortal enemy."

Cui Tianhe's tone revealed a hint of regret, and he continued, "But you do have a way out today."

The Cui family members were shocked when they heard this. Even though the hatred was so deep, Cui Tianhe actually wanted to give Chen Xuan a chance to live?
Chen Xuan asked curiously, "Tell me about it?"

Cui Tianhe went up the mountain, but instead of attacking immediately, he was given a way out. It seemed that the other party didn't want to directly become an enemy of the Mountain Lord, and didn't want to truly break off relations with Nanhuang, so they wanted to use a "gentle" method to deal with him.

"Hand over the Human Emperor Banner, dissipate your immortal energy, marry into the Cui family as a son-in-law, and live the rest of your life as a wealthy and idle person in the secular world."

Cui Tianhe spoke calmly about the way out he was looking for for Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan thought to himself that he shouldn't have asked any more questions.

He shook his head and said, "City Lord Cui makes it sound simple, but in reality, it won't be long before he falls seriously ill and dies for no apparent reason."

Cui Tianhe's face turned cold, and he said, "This is the best outcome for you... Your backer is the old turtle, right? He has a short lifespan and can't hide from the worldly world. He will definitely die of old age in Shangyang Cave Heaven, and no one will be able to protect you! Even if you really did win the favor of the mountain ghost for a while, it would be useless today!"

He stared at Chen Xuan, the Bifang divine bird in his eyes flapping its wings and flying high, its feathers shaking off endless flames.

Although there are some signs that suggest that Chen Xuan may have some connection with the True Lord, but Chen Xuan is just a small Taoist monk. Even if his connection with the Mountain Ghost Goddess is not that deep, how deep can it be?
Besides, that wasn't a problem to consider. The dragon sons and daughters of the Rain Nation were both dead, so what did that True Lord Fulong do?

The five great True Lords entered Shangyang Cave and hid themselves from the world. The mountain ghost had only one or two hopes of having the last laugh. Even if the mountain ghost really prayed for immortality, even if the mountain ghost really succeeded in becoming an immortal, by the time she came out, it would be hundreds or thousands of years later. The world had already changed drastically and several generations had passed!

Chen Xuan's expression turned cold as he scolded, "Old man, after all this talk, you just want to steal the Human Emperor Banner! If you have the guts, then do it!"

Although he is an enemy of the Cui family, he has been restraining his anger because of his respect for a figure of Dinglu's level. But now that his true intentions are revealed, there is nothing more to talk about. Anyway, the other party will not let him go today no matter what!
Cui Tianhe nodded and said, "It seems that you must resist to the end."

As he spoke, he cast his scarlet-gold eyes at the little dog at Chen Xuan's feet and said, "Mountain King, you're seriously injured and degraded, I'm afraid you can't even speak, right? But today, I still give you enough face. Now, Chen Xuan has a way to survive and doesn't want to leave. I want to take him away. Do you have any objections?"

Everything he said when he climbed the mountain was for the mountain king to hear. He was very sincere, but Chen Xuan didn't know what was good for him, so it was no wonder that he resorted to cruel means.

For someone of Cui Tianhe's level, family feuds are already a small matter and insignificant.

His fundamental purpose was to come for the Human Emperor Banner. Moreover, there were rumors in the outside world that Chen Xuan was the one chosen by heaven. Although he could not see anything wrong with Chen Xuan, he also had some thoughts of studying Chen Xuan in his heart.

"……Roar!"

The tiger finally spoke at this moment, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a deep tiger roar erupted, shaking the earth. Furthermore, it wasn't just a simple tiger roar; the voice emanated with an extremely majestic and powerful voice: "Cui Tianhe... Chen Xuan said... If you have the guts, then do it!"

This was the first time the mountain king had spoken since he fell into the world and turned into a small mongrel dog with messy fur, and he actually responded to Chen Xuan.

Cui Tianhe was stunned when he heard the voice: "Shan Jun, you look so weak, how dare you force yourself to stand up for him? Is he really that important to you?"

He hadn't come here to start a fight with the tiger. After all, although the tiger was weak, it could still unleash tremendous power if it made a desperate attack. If the tiger could tactfully bow its head and give in, the best outcome would be.

"Shan Jun, I came here today for Chen Xuan's matter. Although young people compete for opportunities based on their own abilities, it is really unacceptable that he has killed several people from the Cui family. The Cui family will never swallow this." Cui Tianhe continued, and his words made sense.

"He can't justify it, but he's Lady Mountain Ghost's man, so what? He's working in the Southern Wilds, so if he wants to kill you Cui family members, then kill them! The old man dared to shamelessly touch him, he simply didn't give face to the Southern Wilds!"

The tiger berated him, his words overbearing and unreasonable, like a bandit boss trying to save face for his minions. Although only palm-sized, no one would ignore his words.

Cui Tianhe frowned, his expression changed, and after a few breaths, he continued:

"Okay, Mr. Mountain, you are the king of the Southern Wilderness. I respect your former power. Today, I will take a step back and let Chen Xuan hand over the Human Emperor Banner. I will not pursue the rest of the matter."

The people from Xiaowen Mansion arrived in the Southern Wilderness very quickly. It was said that there was more than one Dinglu master present, and the momentum was very great. He didn't want to fight with the mountain king at this time, and just wanted to get the Human Emperor Banner and leave as soon as possible... Chen Xuan's life could be taken at any time, so there was no need to rush.

"Cui Tianhe, are you getting senile? Who do you think you are?!" Shanjun scolded coldly.

"Tiger, I advise you not to be so overbearing..." Cui Tianhe looked grim.

"Cui Tianhe, aren't you clear enough? What's a thousand-year-old family? Even if all your Cui family members die, they can't compare to a hair of Chen Xuan! Who dares to touch the person favored by the Mountain Ghost Queen? Do you dare to move! Do you dare to move! If you don't dare to move, then get out of the Southern Wilderness!"

The tiger glared at Cui Tianhe and scolded him like a grandson.

Chen Xuan was stunned. He knew that Lord Shanjun had a hot temper. He had scolded Qingyazi and Lu Zhuan directly when they were facing them. But recently he had gotten used to the cute posture of Shanjun after he turned into a puppy, so he was shocked at this moment.

The tiger cubs, with their eyes sparkling, stared at the majestic figure of the little native dog in front of them with admiration, breathing rapidly.

The Cui family members were furious. The head of the Cui Tianhe family was actually insulted in front of them. How could they, the Cui family members who were proud of the Qinghe Cui family, tolerate this? Their faces turned red as liver.

Cui Tianhe could no longer maintain his composure. Fire clouds began to surge out of the sky, like a red ocean, showing a mist of anger.

"Tiger, we were just talking nicely, but you suddenly turned hostile. It seems like you really want to fight me!" Cui Tianhe gritted his teeth... He keenly sensed that something was wrong. Was Tiger deliberately provoking him?

"Cui Tianhe, you're not a real man."

The tiger glared at him with disdain, then turned around and gave Chen Xuan a firm order:

"You must act now, in front of Cui Tianhe, and kill all the members of the Cui family he brought with him. Don't spare a single one! I want to see if he dares to seek revenge, how long he can endure, and whether he can still cause chaos!"

"what?"

Chen Xuan was stunned when he heard this. He stared blankly at the group of Cui family members behind Cui Tianhe. His eyes flickered for a moment, and then he excitedly rubbed his hands together: "Then I really want to do it."

"You..." Cui Che and others were all shocked when they met Chen Xuan's gaze, and a chill ran through their hearts.

"bring it on!"

Chen Xuan twisted his neck without hesitation. Lord Shanjun obviously had a backup plan and was not afraid of outsiders. If he didn't fight back despite being given such great confidence, wouldn't it be a waste for him to have suffered this injustice today?

At the foot of the mountain, a black kitten looked more solemn than ever before, as if there was a ferocious beast hidden on the mountain that was about to devour her. She sighed softly, and then, with heavy steps like those filled with lead, she began to climb the mountain.
