Only I Can Put on a Show!
(Sorry, it's a bit late!)
Before Little Moon Spirit could get anything out of the Little Deer Cub, Wu Chu felt that there was no need to ask any more questions.
When he saw a group of ancient and strangely shaped figures appear in the sky above Purple Jade Mountain, he had already filled in most of the blanks in his mind.
His intuition told him that these creatures had come to capture the cubs of the divine beast.
Little Moon Spirit also sensed the aura of these powerful beings. After a moment of surprise, she instantly appeared beside Wu Chu and carried him up into the Wu Chu, returning to the top of the tree.
Judging from their appearance, it was obvious that they were not human. Although they all had human forms, most of them still retained some non-human features.
The leader was a man as tall as an iron tower, two or three meters high, with bulging muscles all over his body and a fierce face. He was clearly not someone to be trifled with. He also had a long tiger tail that was wrapped around his waist like a whip. If you didn't look closely, you might mistake it for a tiger-striped belt.
Behind it were several figures of various shapes and sizes. Some had large horns on their heads of unknown species, some had pointed dog ears on the sides of their heads, and some had straight crane legs below their thighs. It was unclear whether they were actually cranes.
But in Wu Chu's mind, cranes weren't the type of creatures that liked to join in the fun; he figured they must be some other kind of bird!
In short, they are all different in shape and appearance, truly products of the Primordial World.
Although these are all low-level minions, in terms of strength, Wu Chu is actually inferior to them. At least these minions have already Transformation Form and are at least at the Earth Immortal Realm.
Wu Chu, on the other hand, was only at the Innate Realm.
However, Wu Chu's greatest talent is acting.
Even though he was terrified inside when faced with these Primordial World creatures, he remained outwardly calm and expressionless.
His relaxed and composed demeanor perfectly showcased the demeanor of a master.
After entering the damaged formation of Purple Jade Mountain, the group of Primordial World creatures became somewhat agitated, all looking at the iron-towered Tiger Han at the head of the formation.
Especially when they saw the Azure Dragon hanging on the mountaintop, the fear on their faces was completely undisguised. Even the leader, the Tiger Han, had beads of cold sweat on his forehead, especially when he saw Wu Chu standing with his hands behind his back, looking at him expressionlessly.
Unbeknownst to him, Wu Chu was secretly observing the changes in his expression and eyes.
When Wu Chu sensed a flicker of fear in the fierce-looking Tiger Han, his composure only grew stronger.
However, he still asked Yi Bao in his heart, "Yi Bao, these monsters shouldn't be as powerful as that old fox, right?"
Yibao replied quietly, "Although he's not as strong as that old fox, he's definitely much stronger than you. Even Yueling probably couldn't do it; didn't you see how nervous she was?"
Standing on the edge of the treetop, with his hands behind his back, Wu Chu tilted his head slightly and saw Yueling beside him looking at the Primordial World creatures in the sky with a serious expression.
So Wu Chu reached out and gently rubbed her head, smiling, "It's alright!"
No way!
Wu Chu's lips twitched slightly, and he asked in his mind, "Yibao, if these monsters were to attack me, could you protect me? Didn't you say that the Runic Divine Chain on your body are protective barriers that can be used to protect you?"
"..."
Yibao, who is usually quite talkative, fell silent at this moment.
Wu Chu sighed inwardly, thinking, "It seems I'll have to rely on my performance!"
He raised his head, his gaze calmly meeting the beings around him, and asked, "May I ask where you fellow Daoists come from? What brings you to my Purple Jade Mountain?"
Having learned from his experience performing in front of the old fox Qingqiu Chen, Wu Chu now appears much more at ease.
Although Yibao criticized his acting skills, Wu Chu felt that the potential that was brought out under the threat of death was definitely beyond the reach of those movie stars.
The creatures came to their senses and landed, seemingly afraid that Wu Chu would crane his neck to speak to them.
After reaching the height of the treetops, they stopped, suspended in mid-air, and bowed to Wu Chu. Wu Chu thought for a moment and returned their bow.
The leader of the burly Tiger Han was somewhat guilty and said, "Wu Han greets senior. I am one of the eighteen leaders under the Tianmu King Tianmu Mountain. May I ask if you are the master of Purple Jade Mountain, Purple Jade Daoist?"
"No!" Wu Chu shook his head. "I, this humble one, have never uttered a name. I am merely here at the request of Purple Jade Daoist, to look after this Purple Jade Spiritual Root."
After a pause, Wu Chu continued, "I live on Purple Jade Mountain and usually have little interaction with Tianmu Mountain. We keep to ourselves. May I ask what brings you gentlemen here today?"
Tiger Han Wu Han's gaze fell on the Main Hall door behind Wu Chu. There, the Little Deer Cub was hiding its body behind the Main Hall door, revealing half of its face. The fawn was chewing something incessantly, but its eyes were full of tension and fear.
"We dare not deceive you, senior; we have come precisely for that fawn."
"A fawn? Heh... For a mere fawn, you're so adept at trespassing into my cultivation grounds? Is this how Fellow Daoist Tianmu taught you?"
Let's label them first.
Sure enough, once this label was slapped on them, not only did the henchmen turn pale, but even Wu Han himself wanted to slap himself.
"Senior, you misunderstand! I meant that although this young beast resembles a fawn, it is actually the cub of the Fierce Beasts Fu Zhu, and wherever it goes, floods rage..."
"Oh? So you're saying you're acting on behalf of Heaven, ridding the world of evil?"
"No, no..."
"Dare not? Heh... Fu Zhu the Fuzhu clan, yet you dare to call it a fawn to me? Are you all ignorant, or are you trying to fool me? How dare you!"
Seeing Wu Chu's expression grow colder, Wu Han's forehead was also covered in cold sweat. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Please forgive me, senior! I dare not deceive you. This Fu Zhu is indeed a gift that our king intended to give to the Qilin Royal Clan. Please, senior, for the sake of our king, do not make things difficult for me. I will return and tell our king about your help..."
Wu Chu burst into laughter, then coldly snorted, "What? You want to use the Tianmu King to intimidate me? You say this Fu Zhu cub belongs to you, so it is? Then ask it if it's willing to leave with you. If it is, I won't say another word. If it's not, then you may all return! Considering this is your first offense of trespassing, I will not punish you today for the sake of Fellow Daoist Tianmu. As for this Fu Zhu cub, let Fellow Daoist Tianmu come and take it himself! Everyone, please!"
After Wu Chu finished speaking, he waved his hand, and his imposing manner was indeed evident. Unfortunately, his cultivation was too weak; if he had simply swept them away with a flick of his sleeve, his words would have been even more convincing.
However, this behavior left Yibao completely puzzled.
There's nothing wrong, but you insist on creating trouble. What are you trying to do?
