Mysterious White Wolf

Zhong Di surveyed the situation and chose not to step forward to help. He definitely couldn't intervene where Liu Ming and Wang Gui were fighting; everyone there was at the Innate Ninth Stage, and interfering would only be courting death. Only on Tang Xiao You's side could he potentially offer assistance.

Tang Xiao You had just shouted that Zhong Shan was at the Innate Third Stage, while he himself was at the Innate Fourth Stage. Zhong Di understood Zhong Shan and knew that Zhong Shan wouldn't expose his true strength. Therefore, he didn't dare to engage Zhong Shan and gradually retreated from the battlefield, hiding in the rear.

The more Tang Xiao You fought, the more agitated he became. Zhong Shan, with only Innate Third Stage cultivation, why? Why was his saber technique like that? It seemed, it seemed as if every strike landed on the weak point of his sword.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows!" Tang Xiao You roared at the numerous Tang Family archers rushing over.

Arrows were effective against those who had just entered the Innate Realm, but against someone like Tian Ling'er, who had formed True Essence, they couldn't penetrate the dense killing intent surrounding them. Moreover, everyone's speed was beyond what the arrows could track. However, Zhong Shan was different. Zhong Shan hadn't cultivated True Essence yet, only True Qi, forming a slight killing intent around his body, which couldn't block the arrows at all.

Unable to block didn't mean unable to dodge. The speed of an Innate expert was not something these archers could compare to.

As a volley of long arrows shot towards him, Zhong Shan leaped, quickly dodging, and happened to rush towards the little Demon Wolf. A second, larger volley of arrows then shot towards Zhong Shan.

Seeing the dense rain of arrows, Zhong Shan knew he couldn't dodge them all. A fierce glint appeared in his eyes.

Heavenly Devil Body Tempering Great Technique!

His muscles suddenly bulged, rapidly expanding Zhong Shan's body.

As soon as Zhong Shan raised his large saber earlier, the Zhao Family servants were so frightened that they scattered and fled.

The small Demon Wolf was naturally dropped.

The Demon Wolf had been in a coma, but the fall to the ground immediately jolted it awake in pain.

The moment it woke up, it saw the fighting in the courtyard. Then, a volley of arrows, a volley of arrows it had seen humans shoot before, shot towards it.

They, they are finally going to kill me? Like other wolves, to be shot dead by these arrows invented by humans?

Grandpa, aren't you coming to save Xian Xian? They are finally going to kill me, I'm going to die, Grandpa, Grandpa!

The Demon Wolf looked at the large rain of arrows shooting from a distance with a look of despair. Intense regret flashed in its eyes. If I hadn't run away, I wouldn't have died, I wouldn't have met these bad people.

"Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The Demon Wolf suddenly heard a roar, and then, the countless arrows in front of it suddenly disappeared, blocked. A body, a huge human body, that body, hugged the Demon Wolf.

"Thump thump thump…………………………"

The Demon Wolf felt this body constantly trembling after hugging it. Trembling, the Demon Wolf knew, was caused by the arrows hitting the body.

He, he used his body to block the arrows for me? He saved me? Is he the good person Grandpa often talks about? A good person?

"Zhong Shan~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Tian Ling'er's anxious cry came from a distance.

Zhong Shan leaped, jumping to a corner of the courtyard, and placed the Demon Wolf in a safe spot in the corner. His body then leaped back into the courtyard.

"I'm fine!" Zhong Shan shouted to Tian Ling'er.

He fiercely slashed his large saber towards Tang Xiao You.

Heaven Splitting Strike!

Under the Heavenly Devil Body Tempering Great Technique, Zhong Shan erupted with double his strength. It was another full-force strike, bringing out a large amount of red killing intent, fiercely slashing towards Tang Xiao You.

Seeing Zhong Shan's bloodthirsty eyes, Tang Xiao You knew something was wrong. A fear he had never experienced before permeated his entire body. He quickly raised his long sword to block.

"Clang~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

"Rip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Tang Xiao You's sword broke, and his body was also split in half by a saber, blood splattering in the courtyard, covering Zhong Shan.

With a fierce expression, Zhong Shan looked up at the archers.

The archers were already terrified. So many arrows had been shot at him just now, yet he was completely unharmed, blocking all of them. Was his body made of steel? The archers vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Go!" Liu Ming, defeated by Zhao Suo Xiang's sword, roared at Wang Gui. He darted up onto the roof and leaped away, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Wang Gui naturally followed and fled.

As for Zhong Di, he had disappeared long ago.

Tian Ling'er's heart was with Zhong Shan. As soon as she saw Wang Gui leave, she immediately ran to Zhong Shan. There were many holes on Zhong Shan's back.

"I'm fine," Zhong Shan shook his head and said.

Tian Ling'er immediately lifted Zhong Shan's outer garment. Upon seeing it, he was indeed fine, but there were a few rows of red marks on his back. However, these red marks on Zhong Shan's back seemed to add a touch of masculinity.

Masculinity? Bah, bah, bah! Tian Ling'er's face flushed, and she quickly covered Zhong Shan's clothes.

"Zhong Shan, are you alright?" Zhao Suo Xiang asked.

"I'm fine," Zhong Shan shook his head and said.

"Zhong Shan is the most peculiar person I've ever seen. At the Innate Third Stage, he can actually kill someone at the Innate Fourth Stage with a single saber strike. Once you form True Essence, you must fight me," Zhao Suo Xiang immediately said with a smile.

"Alright, definitely," Zhong Shan replied heartily.

Then, Zhong Shan walked over to the Demon Wolf. He gently picked up the Demon Wolf.

"Zhong Shan, it's thanks to you that I found the Demon Wolf this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen it. You also saved it just now, so this Demon Wolf is yours," Zhao Suo Xiang immediately said straightforwardly.

Zhao Suo Xiang was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and grudges. He felt a trace of guilt for misunderstanding Zhong Shan before. Now that the truth was clear, the Demon Wolf was considered an apology gift.

"Alright," Zhong Shan didn't act coy and accepted it directly, considering the Demon Wolf gone.

Holding the Demon Wolf, Zhong Shan returned to the previous small courtyard. The maid had also prepared water for Zhong Shan to wash off the bloodstains.

The Demon Wolf was also covered in blood.

Zhong Shan took it to the bath area as well, threw the Demon Wolf to the side of the pool, leaving its head out, and ignored it while he washed himself.

After washing himself, he looked at the Demon Wolf again. He picked up the Demon Wolf and quickly washed it in the pool. He kept turning it over and over to wash it.

"Huh, this high-grade Demon Wolf is different. Its whole body is covered in fur, and I can't tell if it's male or female," Zhong Shan's face showed a hint of surprise.

However, he still quickly washed the Demon Wolf's entire body. After finishing, he smiled and said, "It's a female cub. No wonder I couldn't tell."

After getting dressed, Zhong Shan walked out holding the cub.

"Zhong Shan, let this cub go. It's so small, let it return to its pack. Otherwise, it will starve to death sooner or later, and I don't know what it eats," Tian Ling'er immediately said.

Looking at Tian Ling'er, Zhong Shan felt a headache. Let it go? This was a Fourth Grade Pill. However, looking at this cub, she was right. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before it starved to death, because Zhong Shan discovered that this cub didn't eat rice porridge. It actually threw it all up at the pool earlier.

Perhaps it would starve to death soon. Once it died, its blood would dry up, and it would be useless. If he took it with him, he would also have another object to take care of.

Seeing Tian Ling'er's determination not to give up until the Demon Wolf was released, Zhong Shan shook his head and said with a somewhat doting tone, "Alright, I'll listen to you."

"Zhong Shan, you're planning to release this little wolf?" Zhao Suo Xiang asked in disbelief.

"That's right."

Zhong Shan was a little reluctant at first, but since he had promised Tian Ling'er, all the reluctance in his heart was cast aside. Once a man makes a promise, he must fulfill it. This was Zhong Shan's way of doing things.

"Alright, I'll take you there," Zhao Suo Xiang immediately nodded. Since Zhong Shan agreed, there was nothing more for him to say.

By the afternoon, everyone had arrived at the deep mountains in the north. Although Zhao Suo Xiang was also at the Innate Ninth Stage, the long spear in his hand couldn't carry him in flight like Tian Ling'er's Red Silk. After all, the material for Tian Ling'er's Red Silk wasn't easy to find.

Seeing the small lake, Zhong Shan gently put the Demon Wolf down.

"Go, go," Tian Ling'er immediately called out happily.

The Demon Wolf looked at Zhong Shan in disbelief, then at the other two. It took two steps forward, then looked back again. Finally, confirming that Zhong Shan was really letting it go, at this moment, the Demon Wolf finally confirmed that Zhong Shan was truly a good person, truly a good person! It had also met a good person.

The Demon Wolf quickly ran to Zhong Shan. Zhong Shan, with a puzzled expression, was about to pick up the Demon Wolf, but the Demon Wolf lightly leaped away, looking at Zhong Shan's left palm, and gently licked it. Then, from its mouth, it suddenly spat out a mouthful of white liquid.

Spitting?

The three of them stared dumbfounded at what the Demon Wolf did to Zhong Shan. Zhong Shan released it, and it still spat at Zhong Shan? But did the Demon Wolf know the meaning of spitting?

After spitting out the white liquid, the Demon Wolf leaped and quickly ran into the deep mountains, disappearing from Zhong Shan's sight.

"This little wolf is really something. You released it, and it still spat at you," Tian Ling'er immediately laughed.

But Zhong Shan didn't say anything.

Spit? It wasn't spit. Zhong Shan felt that the white liquid, upon entering the palm of his left hand, quickly permeated into his body. Moreover, Zhong Shan had a feeling that the white liquid seemed to have merged into his blood.

Shaking his head, Zhong Shan cast aside the doubts in his heart.

"Alright, let's go back," Zhong Shan said.

"Okay," Tian Ling'er immediately responded.

Then, the three of them quickly left the mountain and headed back, just as before.

After walking for half an hour, Zhong Shan and his group didn't notice, but on a distant mountain peak, a peculiar sight appeared.

A large wolf, a giant wolf two meters tall, stood on the mountaintop. And on the head of this giant wolf stood a small wolf one foot tall. It was the same little wolf that Zhong Shan had just released.

The little wolf stood on the head of the large wolf, watching Zhong Shan slowly disappear into the mountains. Then, the little wolf lightly barked a few times at the large wolf below, as if giving orders to the large wolf.

The large wolf immediately whimpered a few times, as if obeying the little wolf's words, and immediately turned around, quickly galloping towards the depths of the mountains.
