Chapter 115: The Wolf General\'s Astonishment

This was the wolves\' domain, so caution was necessary. Additionally, despite not being human, the Wolf General\'s formidable cultivation warranted respect.

"The Sect Master of the Kaiyang Sect? I don\'t care about your Sect Master. Even if I let you in, other wolves will kill you unless you have a Wolf Token," the Wolf General said, shaking his head. His demeanor suggested he was merely looking for some amusement by giving them a hard time.

Clearly, the Wolf General was bored and decided to entertain himself by making things difficult for the trio. On his own turf, he had every right to do so. The Kaiyang Sect\'s Sect Master was of no concern to him.

Expecting that the trio would have no such token, the Wolf General was surprised when Bei Qingsi produced a white wolf-head token, obtained from Tian Xingzi, from her palm.

"Oh?" The Wolf General was taken aback. They came prepared?

"This is the Wolf Token given to me by the Sect Master. Please have a look," Bei Qingsi said immediately.

The Wolf General\'s expression was somewhat embarrassed, but he still said, "Hmm, let me see it."

Bei Qingsi used her flying sword to present the Wolf Token.

"Sniff... sniff... sniff..."

The Wolf General sniffed the token as if to verify its authenticity. He glanced at Bei Qingsi with some surprise; it was indeed a Wolf Token. However, simply letting the three pass would be too damaging to his pride.

"Alright, it\'s a Wolf Token, but one token only allows one person to enter. The other two must go back," the Wolf General said, lifting his head and coldly barring Tian Sha and Zhong Shan.

"Our master ordered us to seek the elder together. We ask for the Wolf General\'s leniency to let us pass," Tian Sha said immediately. They had to complete the task as Tian Xingzi had instructed.

"Even if I let you in, you would face near-certain death inside the Wolf Territory. Go back," the Wolf General said impatiently.

"Once inside, our fate will be decided by heaven. We ask the Wolf General to let us enter," Tian Sha insisted.

Hearing Tian Sha\'s persistence, the Wolf General\'s eyes narrowed, a hint of coldness flashing in them. "Hmph, I said no entry, and I mean it. Leave now, or I will stop you myself!"

"Senior Brother, I\'ll go in first. Once I come out, I\'ll give you the Wolf Token, and you can enter then," Bei Qingsi said, frowning.

"Wait!" the Wolf General suddenly shouted, interrupting their conversation.

The three looked at the Wolf General, who was now staring wide-eyed at Zhong Shan, his gaze almost popping out.

The Wolf General\'s intense stare at Zhong Shan made Zhong Shan uneasy. Bei Qingsi moved closer to Zhong Shan, while Tian Sha looked at both Zhong Shan and the Wolf General curiously.

"You there, come here!" the Wolf General called out to Zhong Shan.

"Boy?" Zhong Shan was speechless. People used to call him "Old Master," but now, in front of this beast, he was a "boy"?

However, given the situation, Zhong Shan had no choice but to fly towards the Wolf General.

"Sniff... sniff... sniff..."

The Wolf General sniffed the air again, his enormous mouth slightly agape, eyes filled with incredulity. He stared at Zhong Shan as if trying to see right through him, a mix of confusion, frustration, and puzzlement flashing across his face.

Watching the giant wolf, Zhong Shan was genuinely concerned the creature might swallow him whole. What did that conflicted, frustrated look mean?

"Wolf General," Zhong Shan suddenly called out.

The Wolf General snapped out of his reverie, eyes widening at Zhong Shan. "Hmm, you may enter as well," he said.

"Huh?" All three were momentarily stunned. What was going on? Zhong Shan could enter too?

"Thank you, Wolf General," Zhong Shan immediately bowed in thanks.

Bei Qingsi\'s eyes flashed with confusion, while Tian Sha looked utterly frustrated. Why was Zhong Shan allowed entry?

"Wolf General, why can he enter? He doesn\'t have a Wolf Token," Tian Sha protested.

Both Bei Qingsi and Zhong Shan turned to the Wolf General. Indeed, Zhong Shan didn\'t have a token.

The Wolf General glared at Tian Sha, eyes wide. "I said he could enter, so he can enter. What? Do you have a problem with that?"

"I wouldn\'t dare," Tian Sha replied, clearly vexed.

"Wolf General, without a Wolf Token, won\'t Zhong Shan face danger inside?" Bei Qingsi asked, concerned.

"Wolf Token? Who said he doesn\'t have a Wolf Token?" the Wolf General retorted.

The trio was stunned again. Zhong Shan had a Wolf Token? Where did he get one?

"Senior Brother, let me carry out the master\'s mission. I will bring the elder. You should return to the Kaiyang Sect and await our good news," Zhong Shan said to Tian Sha.

Tian Sha, frustrated, could only nod grudgingly.

"Take care, Senior Brother," Bei Qingsi added.

With a resentful glance at the two, Tian Sha, full of frustration, flew away on his sword.

Watching Tian Sha leave, Zhong Shan felt relieved. It was good to see him go. Turning to the Wolf General, Zhong Shan said, "Goodbye."

Then, he and Bei Qingsi resumed their flight towards the east.

The Wolf General stood atop the peak, watching Zhong Shan fly away. A strange mix of emotions—confusion, frustration—flickered in his eyes.

"Could the Supreme One be interested in this boy? His cultivation level is so low. No, it can\'t be. Could the Young Master have made a pact with him? No, I must find the Young Master and clarify this," the Wolf General muttered to himself before sprinting off in another direction.

Bounding from peak to peak with incredible speed, far surpassing Zhong Shan\'s flying speed, the Wolf General quickly became a dot on the horizon.

Meanwhile, from the west, where the Wolf General had been, a figure in red robes emerged. The red-robed person watched the Wolf General leave, then glanced at the departing Tian Sha before following Zhong Shan and Bei Qingsi into the Wolf Territory.

Far ahead, Zhong Shan and Bei Qingsi continued their eastward flight. Bei Qingsi, familiar with the route, led the way, while Zhong Shan took in the scenery.

"Qingsi," Zhong Shan suddenly called out as they flew.

"What\'s wrong?" Bei Qingsi looked at Zhong Shan with curiosity, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. Zhong Shan\'s expression was very serious, as if he had something important to say.

Flying alongside Bei Qingsi, Zhong Shan glanced at her delicate face and gently said, "Be careful when you see Senior Brother in the future."

"Huh?" Bei Qingsi\'s expression paused for a moment at first, then gradually relaxed as if she realized something. "Alright, I understand," she said softly.

Bei Qingsi was a smart person, and Zhong Shan didn\'t elaborate further. He just nodded along. No need to dwell on it.

After flying for two days, the two found a valley to rest, mainly for Zhong Shan to recuperate. After eating something and resting for the night, Zhong Shan woke up the next morning to find Bei Qingsi gone?

Zhong Shan quickly got up and searched around, climbing to the top of a mountain where he happened to see Bei Qingsi by a riverbank in the distance.

The spot where Bei Qingsi stood was relatively damp, as if it had been flooded by a large volume of water. Her long hair flowed in the wind as she pointed her sword at a corpse in front of her.

Zhong Shan swiftly flew towards Bei Qingsi.

In no time, Zhong Shan arrived in front of Bei Qingsi, who slowly lowered her sword and turned to look at him.

In front of Bei Qingsi lay a frozen corpse, covered in thick ice. The body wore red clothes, nothing particularly remarkable. But Zhong Shan could tell that this person had died by Bei Qingsi\'s hand.

"Who is he?" Zhong Shan frowned and asked.

"He was one of Jian Chen\'s subordinates," Bei Qingsi replied coldly.

"Have we been exposed?" Zhong Shan asked, surprised.

"Yes, we must leave quickly. Jian Chen\'s many subordinates will surely come after us soon," Bei Qingsi said.

"Alright, let\'s go," Zhong Shan said immediately—

Meanwhile, in another part of the Wolf Territory, in a valley.

The Emperor of the Yin Moon Dynasty, along with the person who had accompanied him to the Eight Gates Mountain, stood together.

The emperor looked at the kneeling Thunder General.

"What? You didn\'t get the Heart of the Spear?" the emperor asked.

"No, the Invincible Spear was too powerful. We..." the Thunder General replied, ashamed.

"Enough, if you didn\'t get it, then forget it," the emperor said, furrowing his brow.

But the Thunder General still looked ashamed. Seeing this, the emperor sighed lightly, clearly still concerned about the Heart of the Spear.

"By the way, Your Majesty," the Thunder General suddenly remembered something and immediately spoke up.

"What?" the emperor asked.

"This failure lies in the hands of someone who should have been dead," the Thunder General said suddenly.

"Who?"

"The man we encountered when we obtained the Thunder Flower, the one in the Innate Realm," the Thunder General said.

"What? He\'s not dead?" the emperor exclaimed in surprise.

Meanwhile, Mr. Shi, who was nearby, narrowed his pupils, a hint of surprise and anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"Yes," the Thunder General nodded and recounted the encounter with Zhong Shan from start to finish.

After listening to the Thunder General\'s account, the emperor fell silent, furrowing his brow in thought. Finally, he looked at the Thunder General and said, "I always felt that this person was extraordinary. Now that he can command two Nascent Soul stage cultivators to protect him, our grudge with him has deepened. Thunder, after we finish this matter, you are responsible for killing him."

"Yes, Your Majesty," the Thunder General immediately replied.

"At any cost," the emperor said coldly.
