The messenger was Shumi, who ran all the way up from the foot of the mountain. Sweat beaded on his nose, which resembled that of a mouse, and his whiskers swayed with his breathing.
"Where's Xiao Jia?" Zhao Xi squatted down and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his nose.
"He's in his meditation room halfway up the mountain. Shu Yan is waiting at the door; he'll let me know as soon as he finishes his breathing exercises!"
Zhao Xi pondered for a moment: "There's no need to tell him right away; let him focus on his cultivation."
These pangolin monsters were previously handled by Xiao Jia, and that's how they ended up in this state.
It wasn't that he couldn't handle it, but rather that these tribesmen were indeed difficult to manage.
In particular, Ling Mu, who was chosen as the clan leader, had his personality distorted to an extreme degree. He disobeyed Xiao Jia and looked down on the Immortal Realm and the Hundred Beast Garden.
Zhao Xi wanted to fly to Lingxiu Peak on her sword.
Lingxiu Peak is located directly north of the intersection of the Hundred Beasts Garden and the Five Spirits Hall. The mountain is not high, but it is surrounded by other mountains and is relatively secluded.
This place originally lacked spiritual energy. It was only after Feng Xiaoyaojing and Shanshan came to the Hundred Beasts Garden and chose this location that the feng shui was changed. Of course, in order to ensure their seclusion would not be disturbed, they set up restrictions around the area, prohibiting anyone from flying over on their swords, and also placed restrictions on the mountaintop to prevent anyone from entering.
He may be domineering, but they're guests here.
Once they leave, this cave will belong to the Hundred Beasts Garden again; they won't occupy it forever.
Zhao Xi was both curious and respectful of Shan Shan's mysterious master, and ordered everyone not to disturb them.
But Ling Mu and the others clearly wouldn't listen to her orders.
Their new stronghold was arranged by Xiao Jia at White Tiger Mountain, a place that had been modified by Lin Che using a demon beast cycle array, making the environment excellent. However, the pangolin demons didn't understand this and only thought there was nothing there. They secretly came to Lingxiu Peak, dug a large hole at the foot of the mountain using magic, and settled down there.
Actually, Zhao Xi had known about this for a while, but Feng Xiaoyao and Shanshan had been in seclusion for too long. On one hand, she wanted to see this mysterious master, and on the other hand, she wanted to teach these troublemakers a lesson so they wouldn't wander around the Hundred Beasts Garden in the future.
The mountainside at the foot of the mountain was smooth and flat, with the cave exposed, most of it lying in the open, and even the protective barriers had not been fully repaired. There were piles of beds used by the pangolin demons, meditation cushions, lingzhi mushrooms, and portable furnaces for alchemy and weapon forging.
Zhao Xi peeked inside and saw only a few sick demon cultivators lying in bed. Because she was a mortal, they were completely unaware of her and were fast asleep.
Where is the main force?
She looked around but didn't see anyone. She then looked towards the mountainside.
The mist was blown away by the wind, and the sun shone down. Several tornadoes caused the leaves to swirl in the air, but the range was very limited.
Green light occasionally peeks out from the woods, or a huge tree grows out and then falls down, tumbling down the mountain along with a pile of turf and rocks, as if lumberjacks were hacking down trees indiscriminately, with a magnificent momentum.
Are they all fighting there? If so, wouldn't Shan Shan be fighting against so many people all by herself?
Zhao Xi wanted to release his tiger mount as soon as possible. He dodged falling rocks and trees and made his way to the vicinity of the battle with great difficulty.
"You're just the second senior brother, Xiao Jia is the eldest senior brother, this place should be given to us!"
"Ha, when did seniority come into play in the Beast Garden? The headmistress treats us all the same. You don't think that Xiao Jia is ranked first just because his name is Xiao Jia, do you? If so, I'll change my name to Boss, then you'll all have to bow down to me!"
“That’s written on the roster… no… damn it!” The pangolin demon cultivators tried to interrupt several times, but were forcibly cut off by Shan Shan.
While fighting, Shan Shan shouted with ease, using the power of her dantian: "We came here first. It was my master who personally altered the feng shui and enhanced the spiritual energy. You didn't even say a word before carving a hole at the foot of the mountain and breaking the spirit-gathering array. We've already been magnanimous by not demanding an explanation! Good heavens, you actually want us to give up the mountaintop? Have you eaten too much impurities outside and ruined your brains? How can you say such things? I advise you to stop struggling. Either go back to the foot of your mountain and don't come up again, or leave this mountain altogether..."
He was dressed in dark brown cloth, his long hair danced wildly in the wind, hovering in mid-air, his hands raised high.
It's obvious that Feng Xiaoxiao treats him very well.
He wore a string of white wind spirit beads around his neck and more than a dozen wind-controlling tokens on his waist, with the wind's location and level written in ancient immortal script. Even if he was beaten to the point of near unconsciousness, as long as a trace of spiritual energy remained, he could use these magical treasures to control the wind.
There seems to be a jade pendant on the cuff of the clothes, which may be a legendary life-saving jade talisman. Breaking it can summon a master or something similar.
No wonder he was so at ease and could say so much.
The pangolin demon cultivators suffered damage to their dantian, so the range, attack power, and endurance of their spells were not as strong as Shan Shan's.
Zhao Xi wanted to check on everyone, but didn't see Ling Mu among them. Just as she was wondering, she suddenly saw a green leaf in the sky.
Her heart suddenly sank.
This is bad!
Although she didn't know what kind of magic it was, she just knew there was something wrong with it.
"Shanshan, be careful of those leaves!"
Shanshan lowered her head and cheerfully waved to her with both hands outstretched: "Wow, Headmistress is here! What leaves? There are leaves everywhere, be careful of which leaf? Don't worry, Headmistress, I'm very strong here... uh..."
Ling Mu leaped out of the leaf, holding a spirit sword, and slashed down at Shan Shan.
The wind dispersed, and Shan Shan let out a muffled groan as she fell from the sky, struck by several spells from the demon cultivators below.
Ling Mu then fell, her hands forming a hand seal, summoning a wind spell. Below, demon cultivators immediately used their own wind spells to catch her.
"Holy crap!" In that split second, Zhao Xi only had time to shout, forgetting that he could use a wind talisman to catch the tiger. He jumped off the tiger and into the battle, opening his arms to Shan Shan above.
"Be careful, Headmistress!"
Then I saw the beautiful blue feathers of the Great Blue Phoenix flash before my eyes.
Zhao Xi felt as if her feet were dangling in the air, leaving the ground.
She was grabbed by Zero's claws and lifted into the air by Zero, who had reverted to her original form.
"thumping--"
A loud bang, and dust flew everywhere.
Shan Shan fell from the sky and smashed into the ground, creating a large, human-shaped crater.
"Shanshan!" Zhao Xi looked down in horror.
Shan Shan twitched a few times in the pit and then transformed back into her original form as a little crow.
Linglu shouted from above, "Don't panic, Headmistress! Senior Brother Shanshan is a demon cultivator! He can take a fall!"
Zhao Xi thought: "…………"
That being said, it would be too awful to fall back to your original form in front of her!
Several spells were cast into the pit, and the magical artifacts on Shan Shan's body sprang up to form a defensive shield, barely managing to block the spells before falling into a precarious situation. Dozens of paper cranes flew towards the mountaintop, only to be shot down one by one by the pangolin demon cultivator.
To actually kick someone when they're down?!
