The Seventh Order King of Beasts transformed into human form and respectfully bowed to a Dou Emperor.

That was absolutely the proper etiquette.

Yang Shan could never truly keep pretending to be arrogant forever.

If this matter were to reach the ears of Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord in the future, Yang Shan would have a difficult time explaining himself.

Yang Shan immediately returned the greeting. "Junior Yang Shan greets Senior Black Thorn!"

Black Thorn: "Blade Sovereign, there's no need for such politeness. Your master was kind to our clan back then, and we haven't even had a chance to thank him yet, what a pity."

At this point, a hint of sadness flashed across Black Thorn's face.

Yang Shan sent a message to Su Yitang.

Standing behind him, Su Yitang immediately took the still tongue-out Black Da Sha from her arms and carried him to Black Thorn's side.

When Black Thorn took Black Da Sha, he was clearly very cautious.

It can be seen that Black Da Sha holds a prominent position within the Dark Moon Dog Clan.

Yang Shan pretended to frown:

"To be honest, before coming to Black Moon Ridge, my master only ordered me to come and collect the cultivation techniques he had set up here. My master said that your two clans would treat me well."

"I never expected that as soon as I entered Black Moon Ridge, I would be attacked by the wolf clan. In a fit of rage, I killed some of them. I originally thought that the wolf clan of Black Moon Ridge was a vassal of your Dark Moon Dog Clan, but when I saw these two little guys, I knew that things were not so simple."

"So, what exactly happened between the Dark Moon Dog and the Snow Moon Cat Clan?"

Yang Shan used a rhetorical question to clearly explain his situation! Of course, this situation was fabricated by Yang Shan himself.

Anyway, they just brought up the topic of cultivation techniques.

As for how Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord interacted with the two great demon beast royal families when he came to Black Moon Ridge before, we don't know! We're unclear! Master didn't say!

Faced with Yang Shan's question, Black Thorn seemed unwilling to elaborate, simply asking:

"May I ask, True Lord, did your master send you here merely for the cultivation technique?"

Yang Shan was bewildered:

"Yes, they just gave me a token and told me the cultivation technique was located in the central area of Black Moon Ridge. Senior, you seem to be wary of me."

Yang Shan simply took out the Ghoul Lord Token and handed it to Black Thorn:

"Please take a look, senior!"

This Ghoul Lord Token is the key to obtaining cultivation techniques, and it is also the "identity certificate" for going to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion.

Therefore, this Ghoul Lord Token must contain special arrangements such as "Soul Imprint" that can prove its authenticity or prove that its original owner was Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord.

Therefore, Yang Shan was fearless and had nothing to fear.

The moment Black Thorn saw the Ghoul Lord Token, she quickly waved her hand. "No need, no need, this token is genuine, it's genuine!"

Yang Shan was actually a little curious as to why Black Thorn recognized the Ghoul Lord Token so quickly and was certain that the token was genuine, but asking about it now would easily expose his lie.

Yang Shan calmly withdrew the Ghoul Lord Token: "Now, can you tell me about the situation of your two clans?"

Black Thorn looked at Su Yitang behind Yang Shan, and hesitated.

Yang Shan introduced, "This fairy is called Su Yitang. She is a disciple of Qingfeng Lady Venerable, a close friend of my master. A year ago, she lost a bet with me and agreed to follow me for three years to help me out!"

Su Yitang immediately feigned anger. "Look how capable you are! I'll definitely beat you in two years!"

Yang Shan snapped, "What do you mean 'you' or 'your'? What should you call me now?"

Su Yitang pouted, lowered her head, and spoke softly:

"Boss"

Su Yitang Su Yitang was Yang Shan's assistant, so it was perfectly reasonable for her to address Yang Shan as "Boss." (The term "Boss" can be traced back to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, so it's a normal term in Battle Through the Heavens.) Upon hearing Yang Shan's introduction, Black Thorn quickly bowed.

"So you're also a disciple of Dou Zun powerhouse. I've been rude."

With just a few words, Su Yitang was given a "terrifying" identity. Su Yitang truly admired her boss's ability to lie through his teeth.

Su Yitang bowed slightly. "You're too kind, senior."

Yang Shan explained, "Judging from the current situation, it will probably be quite difficult for me to retrieve my master's cultivation technique. Senior Black Thorn, are you still unwilling to talk about it? You should understand that if I wanted to harm your two clans, you would never see Bai Xiao Guai and Black Da Sha!"

Black Thorn smiled bitterly:

"What you say is true, True Lord. Very well, please come with me, True Lord and Su Fairy."

Black Thorn was seen holding Black Da Sha, while Bai Xiao Guai jumped onto Black Thorn's head, licked its paws, and then squatted down.

Black Thorn didn't even put up a fight.

Yang Shan and Su Yitang followed Black Thorn's footsteps.

The three of them did not use flight, and Black Thorn was quite careful as she moved.

In response, Black Thorn explained:

"I possess a secret treasure that can conceal one's aura, but you two do not. If you are not careful..."

Before Black Thorn could finish speaking, Yang Shan grabbed Su Yitang's hand.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

"Don't move, it won't hurt."

"Boss, are you driving in front of the dog?"

"Damn it! Who's driving?"

Yang Shan transferred a cluster of Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning to Su Yitang through his hand, covering her skin.

With Yang Shan's Soul Imprint, this Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning will not cause any harm to Su Yitang.

However, Su Yitang's presence was completely concealed by the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning.

Yang Shan: "That way, we won't be discovered!"

Black Thorn twitched its nose. "True Lord, you are truly skilled! Such concealment techniques have even masked your scent! Let's speed things up!"

After saying that, Black Thorn lifted both feet off the ground and began to fly at low altitude.

After all, Black Moon Ridge is no longer under the control of the two royal families.

Black Thorn is, after all, Seventh Order King of Beasts, and its speed is incredibly fast. Yang Shan doesn't care, but Su Yitang is having trouble keeping up.

Yang Shan started grabbing Su Yitang's hand again.

Su Yitang hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Boss, what are you going to do now?"

Yang Shan: "Please take the plane!"

After saying that, Yang Shan exerted his strength and pulled Su Yitang onto his back.

"Wow, boss, are you trying to take advantage of me?"

Yang Shan: "Lie down properly! Who told you to be so slow?"

"No, you can't lie down!"

"Why can't I lie face down?"

"You absolutely can't lie down!"

"Then do as you please."

After chatting with Su Yitang for a while, Yang Shan always felt that the girl's choice of words was not very innocent, but if you didn't misinterpret it, it didn't seem to be a problem.

It can only be said that the driving was subtle yet specific, and Yang Shan was somewhat overwhelmed.

Before long, Black Thorn led Yang Shan and Su Yitang to a small lake.

Black Thorn formed hand seals, and soon the small lake began to swirl.

Black Thorn said:

"True Lord, Su Fairy, our clan is currently hiding here and needs to enter through this vortex."

As soon as Black Thorn finished speaking, a beautiful woman dressed in very noble clothes emerged from the vortex.

The beautiful woman gave Black Thorn a disapproving look. "Black Thorn, why did you bring outsiders with you?"

Black Thorn's Awkward Situation:

"These two are not outsiders. This Blade Sovereign is a disciple of Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord."

Yang Shan looked at the beautiful woman's panel.

[White Flame Cat - Bai Li] (King of Beasts) Level: Seventh Order

Attribute: Fire

If nothing unexpected happens, this beautiful woman, Bai Li, should be a high-ranking member of the Snow Moon Cat Clan.

It is obvious that Bai Li is much more wary of Yang Shan and Su Yitang.

There was a small detail that Yang Shan paid attention to when he was making the plan.

He released "Bai Xiao Guai" to go back and report the news, while keeping "Black Da Sha".

Based on the need to protect their bloodline, the high-ranking members who come are most likely from the Dark Moon Dog Clan.

Compared to the cat race, the canine race has a natural affinity for humans deep in their bloodline.

Therefore, it is naturally easier to communicate with dogs and make them more likely to lower their guard.

But cats are different; they are not as affectionate towards humans as dogs.

Moreover, cats are naturally cautious.

If I had started by contacting Bai Li, it would have been a long and complicated process.

But now it doesn't matter.

Having already brought him to their doorstep, if Bai Li wanted to stop him, she would have to consider whether she was going to offend Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's "disciple"! Although Bai Li was cautious, she didn't directly send Yang Shan away, but simply said, "Young human powerhouse, this place is a forbidden area of our race, and it is indeed inconvenient for you to enter."

Yang Shan: "It's fine if you don't go in. My master sent me to Black Moon Ridge to retrieve the cultivation technique. If there's any trouble, just ask the Dark Moon Dog and Snow Moon Cat clans. Once you take me the technique, I'll leave immediately!"

Bai Li: "."

Since Black Thorn had already said that Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord had been kind to both races, Yang Shan is now using that as a reason to argue!

A mere Seventh Order King of Beasts is not even qualified to show off in front of Yang Shan!

"If you've got the guts, bring out a Seventh-Order Thousand Beast King and see!" Bai Li's expression stiffened.

She simply didn't want Yang Shan to enter the forbidden area so easily, after all, it was the last hiding place for the Dark Moon Dog and Snow Moon Cat clans!

This concerns the preservation of our race, so we must proceed with caution.

However, Yang Shan took a step back and instead brought up the past kindness shown to Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord, which gave Bai Li a headache.

Since Black Thorn was able to bring Yang Shan and Su Yitang here, it means that Black Thorn has already accepted their identities.

If he were to renege on his debt, now that his disciples have arrived, it's clear that Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord has made a breakthrough and broken through his life limit.

If investigated in the future, even if their royal family were at its peak, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand the wrath of the Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord.

Just as Bai Li was at a loss for what to do, Bai Xiao Guai spoke up:

"Aunt Li, let Blade Sovereign and Su Fairy go in."

Bai Li: "Your Great Princess, this..."

Bai Xiao Guai said helplessly:

"Blade Sovereign killed Lei San like he was killing a dog. If he really wanted to harm our clan, he wouldn't have killed Lei San, much less let us come back."

Black Da Sha, nestled in Black Thorn's arms, protested, "Bai Xiao Guai! What do you mean? What do you mean, 'like killing a dog'? You're insulting my canine race! Woof!"

Bai Xiao Guai rolled her eyes and jumped from Black Thorn's head onto Bai Li's shoulder. "If Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord really did something kind to our clan in the past, then Blade Sovereign and Su Fairy are at least friends of our clan, and should be entertained."

Bai Li paused for a moment, then said, "I understand! Blade Sovereign, Su Fairy, welcome to my clan, please!"

Yang Shan stood still, not moving. "Invite what? I've already said, I'm not going!"

Bai Li: "."

"If it weren't for Master's instructions, Black Da Sha and Bai Xiao Guai would already be two corpses! I saved your talented juniors, and that's how you treated me before? You really don't respect my Master at all!"

Yang Shan became more and more excited as he spoke, and immediately turned around:

"Su Yitang, let's go! Let's go straight for the cultivation technique!"

Su Yitang immediately understood what Yang Shan wanted to do, and she grabbed Yang Shan's arm:

"Hey boss, calm down! Look how pretty that cat is, and how silly that dog is!"

Black Da Sha, who had been grinning and sticking out his tongue, drooped his ears upon hearing this. Yang Shan glared at Su Yitang: "Stop giving me that crap. I know you too well; you just want to pet a cat! Let's go!"

"Oh"

Su Yitang had no choice but to leave with Yang Shan, turning back every few steps, each time staring at Bai Xiao Guai.

Bai Xiao Guai flicked its tail; it had felt quite comfortable when Su Yitang petted it earlier.

But she is the Great Princess of the Snow Moon Cat Clan!

How can I let a Dou Wang defeat me?

If it weren't for the fear of losing her life, the proud Bai Xiao Guai definitely wouldn't have paid any attention to Su Yitang at that time.

Bai Li was dumbfounded when she saw Yang Shan and Su Yitang about to leave.

Black Thorn retorted, "I don't understand what you cats are thinking! You won't let us in, but this old man insists that True Lord and Su Fairy come in!"

Black Thorn clearly inherited the ancient traditions of the dog race, having a natural affinity for and an inexplicable trust in the human race.

Since he has already called himself "a disciple of Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord", Yang Shan must keep up this identity to the end!

If it were the two royal families during their heyday, that would be one thing.

Now, both of these royal families are practically defunct, barely clinging to life in this small lake. How could they dare to show him any disrespect? The one who doesn't dare to strain relations right now is not Yang Shan!

Black Thorn stepped forward decisively, his attitude sincere:

"Please wait, Your Excellency. On behalf of the Dark Moon Dog Clan, I respectfully welcome Your Excellency's arrival."

Yang Shan nodded. "Well, before I left, my master told me that the bloodlines of your two clans are not bad. If you are destined, you can take one with you and train it. It seems that the Snow Moon Cat Clan is not worth training."

"Take me to your clan. After I retrieve the cultivation technique, I'll also take one back with me to see if I can raise it to the eighth rank."

Black Thorn asked awkwardly, "Uh, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord really say that?"

Bai Li, standing behind, couldn't help but speak up:

"Blade Sovereign, I have no doubt about your identity, but back then, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord was only Dou Zun cultivator, an eighth-order King of Beasts, and you..."

At this point, Bai Li herself couldn't continue speaking.

Yang Shan sneered:

"Are you getting old and your brain isn't working properly anymore?"

Bai Li was terrified:

"My Lord, I was wrong before! I had no choice but to do so, please don't blame me!"

Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord traveled to the Northwest Continent a thousand years ago, and was already nearing the end of his life.

Now, a thousand years later, the Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord is still alive.

Even Nine-Star Dou Zun Peak probably couldn't extend their lifespan by a thousand years! Bai Li might be living deep in Black Moon Ridge and not have much experience.

But it still has the most basic computing capabilities.

Bai Li quickly stepped forward, bowing and scraping. "Please forgive me, Blade Sovereign Blade Sovereign, please forgive me."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Li took Bai Xiao Guai off her shoulder and put her in Su Yitang's arms. "Does Su Fairy want to pet the cat? Pet it all you want! It doesn't matter if you pet it until it's bald."

Not to mention Su Yitang, Bai Xiao Guai was completely dumbfounded.

She is the Great Princess of the Snow Moon Cat Clan!

Now, Bai Li has actually taken the initiative to send him out to please a human Dou Wang!
