I picked up the scattered attributes

However, more than ten years ago, a severely wounded demon wolf came to this place, took over the Great Black Peak as its territory, and recuperated here, slowly licking its wounds and accumulating strength day by day.

Because this demonic wolf was quite powerful, having already reached the Yuan Dan realm, many demonic beasts came to submit to it, gradually gathering a considerable force.

During this period, relying on his versatile supernatural powers and cunning, he repeatedly attacked the surrounding monster lords, winning more often than losing, and eventually seizing a considerable amount of territory.

Ow—

On this day, the Thousand-Faced Demon Wolf finished its routine patrol of its territory and was about to lie down and take a nap again.

Suddenly, he sniffed softly, let out a low whimper, and a bloodthirsty glint appeared in his eerie green eyes as he looked toward a cave in the distance.

The place where he usually sleeps and rests is the largest grotto on Dahei Peak.

There are only two passages connecting the grotto to the outside world, one in the open and one in the dark.

And now, he clearly sensed that a living being had suddenly entered the secret passage that no one should have known about!

Woohoo——

The Thousand-Faced Demon Wolf stood up, its steel-like fur bristling, and looked warily toward the direction of the secret passage. A short while later, a small figure emerged from there, and a sobbing voice reached the Demon Wolf's ears.

"Waaaaah... Father, Mother, where are you...?"

"The moon is lost... The moon is so scared..."

"I heard there's a big gray wolf in the mountains..."

Finally, the Thousand-Faced Demon Wolf saw the figure clearly—it was a human little girl, wearing a floral dress, with a very delicate and cute appearance.

At this moment, the little girl's big eyes were red, and she sobbed from time to time, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

……

Chapter 0160

Time goes back to a while ago.

Daheifeng.

On one corner of the ground, a black rock suddenly shook and made a slight sound, but quickly fell silent again, as if nothing had happened.

Unbeknownst to anyone, several figures crawled forward, quietly approaching the vicinity of Dahei Peak.

"It is indeed very strange."

Emperor Xuanwu, Mo Lianque, looked around, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "Logically speaking, even if Ying Chengpeng intentionally concealed his avatar's identity to avoid others making connections, this Thousand-Transformation Demon Wolf is still a lord of a demon beast, yet its dwelling place is so barren..."

This is really quite illogical.

Generally speaking, the more one wants to hide their identity, the more they need to blend into the environment, behave like any other creature around them, and make it impossible for others to notice anything unusual.

The Thousand-Transformation Demon Wolf is not a weak species; it is a notorious, bloodthirsty predator!

As an extremely aggressive demonic beast, the Thousand-Transformation Demon Wolf has slaughtered countless living beings!

If you were to say that a thousand-faced demon wolf suddenly understood the meaning of wolf life and found such a remote place to live out its days in peace... regardless of whether others believe it or not, Mo Lianque certainly wouldn't believe it.

—Do you think everyone is the Wind Master?

"He stole my territory," Qinglin said, puffing out his cheeks.

"But he didn't continue expanding; instead, he made a symbolic plunder, as if to flaunt his power, and then went into hiding again." Mo Lianque shook his head, his expression growing increasingly grave. "I have a feeling something is amiss. Could I be mistaken?"

"It's not that Your Majesty is mistaken, but rather that Your Majesty lacks knowledge."

Can't you speak properly?

Feng Xia's voice came from beside him, causing Mo Lian Que's voice to stiffen slightly, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant: "Sect Leader Feng, what do you mean by that?"

Feng Xia slowly exhaled, a hint of solemnity in his eyes. He looked at the ground beneath his feet, then at the girl in the blue dress beside him. Zhu Youniang quickly nodded gently: "That's right, it should be the same stone."

Feng Xia nodded knowingly.

Before arriving here, he had only heard Qinglin mention the general situation of Dahei Peak.

Therefore, I never expected that after actually arriving at Dahei Peak, I would actually see such familiar stones!

When he was in the Forsaken Ancient Land, he tried to find a way out more than once, but in the end, he was always blocked by a vast abyss.

The entire Forsaken Land is an isolated island in a dark abyss!

The stone material on the deep cliff of Tianyuan is exactly the same as that of the Great Black Peak in front of us.

At first, Feng Xia doubted that he might have misremembered, but after receiving confirmation from Zhu Youniang, he had no choice but to believe it.

Zhu Youniang had lived in the Forsaken Ancient Land for much longer than him, and her understanding of it was naturally far superior. Even Zhu Youniang had confirmed that both sides were made of the same type of stone, so the possibility of a mistake was extremely low.

"The black stone from the Forsaken Land of Gods has never been seen or even heard of since I came to the outside world. The stone from Great Black Peak is the same. Is it just a coincidence, or is there some other factor involved...?"

A myriad of thoughts flashed through Feng Xia's mind in an instant.

Finally, he came to a conclusion:

I don't know either!

"Everyone be careful. The black rocks on Great Black Peak are special. That Thousand-Faced Demon Wolf chose this place, most likely for these things..."

Feng Xia thought for a moment and then offered a reminder.

Mo Lianque had no choice but to nod in agreement.

After all, when Feng Xia arrived, he discovered that the young sect leader's cultivation had unknowingly returned to the Yuan Dan realm. To put it simply, he couldn't beat him, he really couldn't beat him.

You have a bigger fist, so what you said makes sense.jpg

"On another note, what exactly is Sect Leader Feng trying to find by repeatedly severing his own cultivation?" A hint of doubt arose in Mo Lianque's mind.

Not long after, the group was blocked by monsters.

It was a flock of small, gray-black birds, each only half the size of a palm, hovering in mid-air, making a buzzing sound like bees.

“Shadow Sparrow… a strange bird that dwells in the shadows.” Mo Lianque whispered to Feng Xia with a grim expression, “Master Feng, your illusion technique concealed our forms, but we are indeed there, just invisible. The Shadow Sparrow’s innate ability allows it to move freely through the shadows…”

Without Mo Lianque's explanation, Feng Xia already knew what had happened.

As things stand, his illusions are indeed flawless and have not been broken by any monsters.

However, the Shadow Sparrow's extremely special talent allows it to sense their concealed shadows even if it cannot see their figures!

Simply put, he used illusion magic to conceal his figure, but was still detected by infrared surveillance...

"The fact that it can use a strange bird like the Shadow Sparrow for surveillance means that the Thousand-Change Demon Wolf really has a big secret!" Mo Lianque's face was grim. "I'm afraid it won't be long before the Thousand-Change Demon Wolf discovers our whereabouts..."

The reason these shadow sparrows are still here is perhaps because they have discovered the anomaly in this place.

After all, while the Shadow Sparrow's innate abilities are extraordinary, its intelligence is not very strong.

There is a time lag between when they discover the anomaly and when they fully realize it and report it to the Thousand-Faced Demon Wolf.

"No, we haven't been discovered yet!"

But the next second, Feng Xia whispered something and suddenly made a move!

Everyone could clearly see that time seemed to have frozen at this moment.

One after another, magnificent and dazzling lotus flowers bloomed from the depths of Feng Xia's eyes, drifting across the void, drifting across the primordial chaos, and slowly descending towards the flock of gray-black birds.

The lotus flower spun, containing incredible power, causing people to involuntarily become dazed.

A blue lotus grows from the primordial chaos!

boo——

The next instant, a sound like water droplets breaking, even fainter than a breath, quietly reached everyone's ears.

The flock of shadow sparrows suddenly froze, and then, like soulless salted fish, they fell one after another from mid-air. But before they even reached the ground, they were wrapped and entangled by strands of white silk, and with a whoosh, they all fell into Zhu Youniang's hands.

"I've never eaten this kind of bird before!"

The girl couldn't help but smile broadly: "Looks like we can eat for a long time when we get back!"

Feng Xia slowly exhaled and smiled calmly, "Your Majesty, my illusion is flawless. You see, these shadow sparrows haven't discovered our presence."

Mo Lianque: "..."

……

Chapter 0161

For the rest of the journey, everyone was extremely careful and managed to avoid causing any further disturbances.

Of course, this is also thanks to the fact that although there are also demonic beasts living in the territory of the Thousand-Transformation Demon Wolf, the number of demonic beasts under his command is still much smaller than that of a normal (probably?) demonic beast lord like Qing Lin.

Therefore, after killing several monsters for the third time, Feng Xia and his group finally approached their target location.

That is the cave where the Thousand-Faced Demon Wolf usually lives.

"Let me sense it again."

Feng Xia murmured something, slowly closed his eyes, and at the same time activated the Golden Roc Feather Transformation Technique, carefully sensing the changes ahead.

A moment later, he reopened his eyes and exclaimed excitedly, "That's right, Ying Chengpeng's avatar is right ahead!"

Everyone involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, the Golden Roc Feather Transformation Technique's perception is not very accurate and may have some deviation. Although the Thousand Transformation Demon Wolf is the most suspicious entity within the Thousand Transformation Demon Wolf's territory, what if we happen to run into that one?
