Lianhai Mountains' King! The Westwind Lion King

After Li Xiaodie finished roasting Ye Chen, she turned and ran.

Ye Chen was covered in black lines and raised a hand to rub his forehead.

"Can't I shake off the reputation of being a pervert?"

Ye Chen watched Li Xiaodie's departing figure and thought no more of it.

Having just entered the Sixth Realm, he naturally needed to consolidate his cultivation further.

But Ye Chen did not know that a crisis targeting him was slowly drawing near.

"My lord, there was still someone on that dragon's head that day."

After Xu Shen found nothing despite searching for many days, even the higher-ups were growing impatient.

Dong Shizhang abruptly turned to Xu Shen, and a murderous intent surged into Xu Shen's body.

"You're only telling me something this important now?!"

Xu Shen was so frightened that his legs went limp. After all, he was only in the Mountain-Moving Realm, while the other man was a Red-Robed Envoy!

An existence in the Myriad Stars Realm!

"My lord, spare me! I thought... I thought that boy wasn't even in the Mountain-Moving Realm. After encountering a True Dragon, he should have died long ago..."

Xu Shen hurriedly fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

Dong Shizhang sighed and glanced at Xu Shen. "Forget it... I can't blame you. An Awakening Realm cultivator truly isn't worth worrying about."

Cold sweat poured down Xu Shen's face. Fortunately, he had escaped disaster. With such a vast gap in realms, the other man would have killed him without the slightest difficulty.

Although Xu Shen had discovered the dragon, Dong Shizhang would take the lion's share of the credit.

But Xu Shen could indeed obtain greater benefits. After all, if he reported it to Zhou Zixuan, he would certainly receive no more than a tenth or two-tenths of what Dong Shizhang would give him.

But it was obvious that drawbacks came with it as well.

The other man was far too powerful. If he wanted to erase Xu Shen, he could do so without anyone noticing. Even if people found out, no one would dare say anything about a Red-Robed Envoy like him.

Dong Shizhang was calculating in his heart. The Lianhai Mountains were only so large, and there was also a Lion King over there. Surely he couldn't...

Dong Shizhang furrowed his brows, then suddenly smoothed them out.

After saying that, he grabbed Xu Shen and rose into the air.

Xu Shen's legs went weak. "My lord... where are we going?"

"To meet the Lion King of the Lianhai Mountains." A disdainful smile curled at the corner of Dong Shizhang's mouth.

Xu Shen was so frightened that he went numb. That Lion King was an existence in the Myriad Stars Realm.

"My lord... isn't this a bad idea?"

"What's bad about it?" Dong Shizhang's expression shifted slightly. This little thing dares to argue with me?

"I mean, my lord, with your lofty status, the Lion King should naturally come to meet you. How could we trouble you by making you go see the Lion King...?" Xu Shen's desire to survive surged to its peak.

With such a powerful desire to survive, he deserved a thumbs-up, didn't he?

Dong Shizhang was delighted when he heard this. "You sure know how to talk, boy. Not bad, not bad."

Everyone liked hearing good words, and Dong Shizhang was no exception. He then halted in midair.

"Boy, cover your ears."

Xu Shen immediately obediently covered them.

"Is the Lion King of the Lianhai Mountains here?! Come out and meet me!"

The enormous sound spread throughout the entire mountain range, sending countless birds into a panic.

Mutant Beasts scattered in every direction. Even some experts hunting Mutant Beasts in the mountains looked up toward the source of the voice.

"Someone is actually provoking the Lion King?!"

"They really don't know whether they're alive or dead. Let's get out of here!"

A three-person team glanced into the distance and hurriedly fled in the opposite direction.

All that could be said was that these three were destined not to be protagonists—but they certainly weren't destined to die young.

Inside a cavern, a colossal beast lying atop a huge pale Spirit Stone opened its eyes.

"Is the Lion King of the Lianhai Mountains here?! Come out and meet me!"

"Is the Lion King of the Lianhai Mountains here?! Come out and meet me!"

Dong Shizhang's voice was still echoing.

The Lion King slowly rose from the stone bed made of Spirit Stone, its eyes blazing with anger.

"After all these years without a fight, has the Human Race forgotten the reputation of the Lion King?"

The Lion King walked out of the cavern, its enormous body smashing apart the loose stones around the entrance.

It was clear that when the Lion King had entered, its body had not been this large.

It had probably achieved some minor success in its cultivation.

This was a wind-element Westwind Lion King, and speed was its strong suit.

Dong Shizhang also clearly knew the Lion King. It seemed this was not their first encounter.

"Oh? The stupid lion still isn't dead?" Dong Shizhang mocked with a half-smile.

The Westwind Lion King glared furiously. "Old thing, it's you? Looking to fight again?"

The Westwind Lion King calculated many things in its heart. In his early years, Dong Shizhang had been a Human Race major general stationed in Zanghai City and had fought the Lion King many times.

Later, for some unknown reason, he had stopped appearing.

But the Westwind Lion King recognized what the Red Robe on Dong Shizhang signified.

"Hm. I didn't expect that after all these years, you would join the Beast God Cult. What? You couldn't get used to being human? If it really doesn't suit you, why not settle down in my Lianhai Mountains? I'll save you the position of second-in-command here." The Westwind Lion King spoke mockingly.

Dong Shizhang did not get angry. After all, this beast had been foul-mouthed for more than a day or two. He had long since grown used to it.

"Stupid lion, your tongue is still as sharp as ever. Anyone who didn't know better might think you were human." Dong Shizhang laughed.

Then he waved his hand. "I heard an unwelcome guest has arrived in the Lianhai Mountains recently. Does the stupid lion know where he is?"

The Westwind Lion King froze on the spot. "I thought you came to pick a fight with me, but you're looking for someone? Why should I tell you?"

"Because I spared your life. How about that?"

Dong Shizhang knew that the Lion King would not speak easily.

But he had not expected the Westwind Lion King to laugh instead of getting angry.

The wind howled all around them.

"Roar!"

A lion's roar pierced the firmament, and Dong Shizhang's expression changed dramatically.

Looking at the lake in the distance, he threw Xu Shen into it.

The Lion King that had originally stood opposite Dong Shizhang had vanished without a trace.

A humanoid Mutant Beast stood behind Dong Shizhang, its mane draped behind it like a cloak.

Its eyes were balefully red, and armor-like coverings had appeared over its shoulders.

Although it had appeared behind Dong Shizhang, it did not attack.

"You... broke through the Myriad Stars Realm..." Dong Shizhang's expression was hideously grim.

The Westwind Lion King before him was no longer in the Myriad Stars Realm. It was an existence in the Bright Moon Realm.

The Westwind Lion King placed a small hand on Dong Shizhang's shoulder. "Old thing, there's no need to be afraid. If I wanted to kill you, you'd already be dead."

Dong Shizhang feigned composure. "The Lion King speaks the truth..."

"Speak. What did you come looking for me about?" The Westwind Lion King gently waved its small hand, and the two instantly appeared on the ground.

The Westwind Lion King's cavern was crude, but aside from the bed, there were also many chairs.

Dong Shizhang hesitated to speak, but he had no choice. Facing a Bright Moon Realm Westwind Lion King, he could not escape.

Especially since it was famous for its speed. Even a Myriad Stars Realm Westwind Lion King could use its speed to evade Bright Moon Realm experts, let alone now that it had reached the Bright Moon Realm.

"I came to the Lianhai Mountains for a Mutant Beast..."

Dong Shizhang adjusted his state of mind and took a deep breath.

"Oh? A Mutant Beast?" The Westwind Lion King became interested. This was getting interesting.

"Yes. That Mutant Beast is... a dragon!"
