Ch. 400You Also Count as the Dao Ancestor's Successor?
Chu Huai Xu went to Wuji Forest to find the black cat guardian, who hid behind Kui Muquan and a Restriction rather than face him. When Pei Songji invoked Chu Huai Xu’s reputation as the Dao Ancestor’s Successor, the cat disputed the title.
- Chu Huai Xu realized Kui Muquan had been told to claim the black cat was absent, then offered to resolve the awkward situation by knocking Kui Muquan away.
- Chu Huai Xu struck Kui Muquan, and their staged confrontation turned into a real spar in which Chu Huai Xu beat him unconscious while asking whether the guardian was in Wuji Forest.
- Chu Huai Xu entered the forest but was blocked by a Restriction that followed him, so Pei Songji went around it to speak with the black cat.
- Pei Songji urged the guardian to let Chu Huai Xu in so he could ask about Zhong Ming, but the cat pretended not to hear.
- When Pei Songji called Chu Huai Xu the Dao Ancestor’s Successor, the black cat interrupted and said he could not possibly count as one.
