Chen Changsheng strolled through the streets, chatting with the Little White Wolf in his arms.
"By the way, when Night Moon Kingdom went to war with the Great Qian Dynasty, many Great Qian cultivators were beaten into a routed rabble by you."
"But I heard that Linglong Sect's Longevity Fairy and Heavenly Buddha Temple's Master Yixiu vanished within Night Moon Kingdom."
"Have they already been killed by you?"
Faced with Chen Changsheng's question, the Little White Wolf said disdainfully, "If we could have killed them, we would have done so long ago."
"If we're talking about the hardest people in the Great Qian Dynasty to deal with, those two are certainly among them."
"Who would have thought that they actually..."
Halfway through, the Little White Wolf suddenly stopped and looked up at Chen Changsheng.
"You're trying to pry information out of me."
"I was just asking casually. If you don't want to tell me, forget it."
"Was it really just a casual question?"
"The Blood Escape Technique you use is a secret of Supreme Clarity Temple, never passed beyond its walls. Only Inner Sect Disciples may learn it."
"Heavenly Buddha Temple, Linglong Sect, and Supreme Clarity Temple are the pillars holding up the Great Qian Dynasty. They are also connected to one another."
"You suddenly asked about those two people's whereabouts. Do you really think I'd believe you were merely asking?"
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng lowered his head and looked at the bald Little White Wolf in his arms.
"You're very clever, but what you just said only makes me more suspicious."
"Blood Escape is a secret technique of Supreme Clarity Temple. Not to mention the Demon Race, even some Outer Sect Disciples might not know about it."
"Yet you seem to know it quite well. Can you tell me why?"
Upon hearing Chen Changsheng's words, the Little White Wolf simply found a comfortable position, yawned in his arms, and said, "I'm of the Demon Race, while you're of the Human Race. Our races differ, and so do our countries."
"Do you think I would tell you something like that?"
"Still, I'm very curious about your identity. Supreme Clarity Temple has Nine True Disciples, four of whom are the most outstanding."
"Their names form a line of poetry: Qingfeng and Ming Yue are priceless by nature; Li Jinshui and Song Yuanshan are all imbued with feeling."
"Qingfeng and Ming Yue have already fallen. Li Jinshui fled with severe injuries, and you definitely aren't him."
"With such attainments in formations, could you be Supreme Clarity Temple's ninth Direct Disciple, Song Yuanshan?"
Faced with the Little White Wolf's eloquent analysis, Chen Changsheng said, "You really understand Supreme Clarity Temple well."
"Even better than the cultivators of the Great Qian Dynasty. It seems the Great Qian Dynasty has produced a traitor!"
"That's right, the Great Qian Dynasty has indeed produced a traitor. Why don't you guess who that traitor is?"
"I don't need to guess, nor do I wish to."
"The rise and fall of dynasties is beyond my power to change. I only want to bring my master's and senior brothers' corpses home."
At this, the Little White Wolf became even more arrogant.
"Oh my, oh my!"
"So that's what you're after!"
"But it seems you can't do it. The corpse of Supreme Clarity Temple Master, Nascent Soul Immortal, has already been refined into a puppet by the Fox Clan."
"The Fox Clan is a powerful clan of Night Moon Kingdom. Not only are experts as plentiful as clouds, they even have Spirit Transformation cultivators guarding their clan."
"What can a mere Golden Core like you possibly do?"
"Why not release me? Perhaps if I'm in a good mood, I'll return your master's corpse to you."
"Thank you for the kind offer, but until I am certain of my own safety, I will not release you."
"Also, let me ask you something. You don't have any marks left on you by your elders, do you?"
"You guess!"
In the face of the Little White Wolf's arrogance, Chen Changsheng merely gave it an indifferent glance and said, "I checked many times. There are no marks within your body."
"But that does not rule out the possibility that there are subtler methods I failed to discover. So, for the sake of safety, I will place eighty-seven restrictions within your body."
"Should anything unexpected happen, you will die an instant death."
The moment those words were spoken, the Little White Wolf panicked.
"How dare you!"
"This isn't a matter of whether I dare or not. I've already done it. Otherwise, why do you think I've been holding you this whole time?"
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng tapped with his right hand, and countless profound patterns immediately appeared across the Little White Wolf's body.
Right afterward, the Little White Wolf completely lost its ability to speak human language.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Seeing the Little White Wolf barking madly like a dog, Chen Changsheng's lips curled faintly upward. Then he strode toward the Son-in-law Recruitment Assembly of Night Moon Kingdom.
Night Moon Kingdom's Son-in-law Recruitment Assembly.
The Wolf King sat alone upon a lofty throne, while an old man with a white beard stood beneath it.
This man was Elder Turtle, the Wolf King's right-hand man.
Elder Turtle's origins were mysterious. No one in Night Moon Kingdom knew where he had come from.
Had it not been for the great merits Elder Turtle earned in the war between the two nations, few people in Night Moon Kingdom would likely have even known his name.
Seeing that all the clans meant to attend had arrived, the Wolf King rose and said, "All citizens of Night Moon Kingdom know that I, Wanyan Aguduo, have one daughter, Wanyan Yue."
"Now that my daughter has reached marriageable age, I wish to select the finest among the outstanding young talents of the realm and give my daughter's hand to him."
"If any young talents are interested, step forward without hesitation."
The moment he finished speaking, everyone present grew excited.
To become the Wolf King's son-in-law was practically the same as gaining the entire Night Moon Kingdom by another route!
"Reporting to the Wolf King, I have long admired Princess Wanyan and am willing to give it a try."
As he spoke, a burly young man with bronze-colored skin stepped forward.
With a surge of his aura, his mid-Golden Core cultivation was revealed without the slightest concealment.
This man was Lin Hu, Young Master of the Saber-Toothed Tiger Clan.
"Ha ha ha!"
"Brother Lin, I too have long admired Princess Wanyan. It seems we will have to compete fairly."
Yet before Lin Hu's words had even faded, another elegant young man stepped forward with a folding fan in hand, releasing his pressure to contend against Lin Hu.
Seeing this, Lin Hu narrowed his eyes and said, "Hu Zhan, since when did I hear that you admired Princess Wanyan?"
"Could it be that you're simply talking nonsense?"
"Ha ha ha!"
"Brother Lin, you jest. Holding affection for a woman does not mean one must make it known to the whole world as Brother Lin has."
"My Fox Clan is cultured and well-mannered. How could we do something so contrary to propriety?"
Hearing this, Lin Hu gave a cold snort and did not continue entangling himself with Hu Zhan.
The Fox Clan was famous for their sharp tongues. If he traded words with them, he would certainly gain no advantage.
With the Young Masters of both the Tiger Clan and Fox Clan stepping forward, the other demons could not help feeling somewhat disheartened.
Whether in background or strength, none of them could rival those two.
Even if they forced themselves to participate, they would merely be going through the motions.
Once the two favored contenders took the stage, several other demons joined in one after another.
However, compared to Lin Hu and Hu Zhan, their strength fell far short—not merely by a single star or a half.
Seeing that no more demons below were stepping forward, the Wolf King prepared to announce the rules of the trial.
Just then, a figure sprang up from the crowd and shouted, "Wait! I want to participate too!"
