Silent Urgency

Li Qingyun sternly said to Yuanbao, "Remember this well: under no circumstances must you be controlled by instinct. From now on, you must not take the path of blood food! If I am not mistaken, the path by which you nonhumans attain the Dao is not the bizarre path either, but the bloodline path of the native inhabitants of the Great Thousand!"

"But that creates a problem. Your attainment of the Dao is neither fish nor fowl. You wish to follow the bloodline path, yet for the sake of ascension, you severed your fleshly shell. With only this stone statue body, it will be exceedingly difficult for you to continue!"

"How about this? Later, I will have Yama, king of Yan City, capture a living wildcat with a decent bloodline for you. Once you seize its body and replace this stone statue, you will no longer need to remain here..."

Fortunately, he had arrived in time and stopped Big Black Cat Yuanbao from "straying onto a crooked path."

As the lord of Langtian Continent, he needed only one word to alter the trajectory of Yuanbao's feline life.

Back then, Big Black Cat had helped him greatly as a mascot.

Now, however, he had become Big Black Cat's great patron. The wheel of fortune turned.

"Meow! Then let us do it this way..." Yuanbao readily accepted the advice.

What could he possibly resist?

He had learned long ago in the mortal world of the Shadowed Domain that he had to stroke the young master's fur the right way—no, his master's fur—or else his master was liable to bristle!

Especially now, when Lord Cat could no longer fathom the depths of the young master's strength!

At Li Qingyun's decree, Yama, one of the Three Kings of the Underworld, immediately sprang into action.
