"Since you are so sincere, I will accept it with pleasure." Zhou Yuanyuan stretched out her hand and the Qiankun Mirror flew towards Zhou Yuanyuan.
After hearing Xiaoyu and Chaos Pearl's exclamation, even a fool would have known that the Qiankun Mirror was a rare treasure. Xiaoyu and Chaos Pearl were both very discerning, and a Qiankun Mirror that caught their eye was definitely no less powerful than Xiaoyu and the others.
Shi Xiong was being chased and beaten by the Qiankun Mirror until Zhou Yuanyuan waved her hand, freeing him from the beating. Watching the Qiankun Mirror retreat further and further away, Shi Xiong felt a surge of reluctance. Since birth, Shi Xiong had been entrusted with the duty of guarding the Qiankun Mirror by Grandpa Bear. For centuries, he had endured the Qiankun Mirror's venomous tongue and arrogance. Suddenly leaving that life behind left him feeling somewhat bewildered.
But now, Stone Bear was no longer the administrator of the Hundred Thousand Mountains; even Jiyun Mountain had been taken over. The demons under his command had also been taken over by the evil star. There was no need to monitor the Hundred Thousand Mountains, so even if Stone Bear kept the mirror, it would be useless. It would be better to use the mirror to curry favor with Zhou Yuanyuan, at least to get her to help save his life. In a battle of golden elixir against golden elixir, the pressure Zhou Yuanyuan exuded seemed even stronger than that of the evil star.
"Tell me! What do you want from me? Let me be frank with you, I may not help if I can, and I will definitely not help if I cannot." In consideration of Shi Xiong's meritorious service in presenting the treasure, Zhou Yuanyuan would not hesitate to give Shi Xiong a chance.
"Master, please save the little bear and his two sons." Shi Xiong was not stupid. Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan was meddling in his business, he quickly knelt on the ground with a plop, and increased the number of requests for help from one to three.
It turned out that half a year ago, Shi Xiong, who was staying at home in Jiyun Mountain, received an order from the leader of the Cultivation Alliance, saying that Jiyun Mountain had been requisitioned by the Cultivation Alliance and asked the Black Bear Clan to leave Jiyun Mountain immediately.
Of course, Shi Xiong refused. This Jiyun Mountain was a place given by the ancient gods to the Black Bear Clan to live and multiply. How could he possibly give it away?
Since ancient times, the Shiwan Mountains have been the garden of the ancient gods. The Black Bear Clan was fortunate enough to be chosen by the gods and appointed as their gardeners. Furthermore, the gods used their magical powers to create a barrier around Jiyun Mountain, allowing the Stone Bear Clan to reside and thrive there.
Over a hundred years ago, all the monks moved to the Langyuan Secret Realm and specially invited the demons to visit. After much struggle, the demons also gained the right to reside in the Langyuan Secret Realm.
It must be said that the monks were quite clever. They had clearly invited the demons to visit the Langyuan Secret Realm in order to arouse their envy and jealousy, and then they would automatically request to enter the secret realm together. However, the demons' minds were not as complicated as the monks', and they were fooled.
Perhaps believing that the territory they fought for was the best, the Black Bear clan elders, despite having the Hundred Thousand Mountains as their backyard, could not help but follow the other demon clans into the Langyuan Secret Realm. Over the years, whenever Stone Bear encountered any difficulties, he would send messages to consult with the clan elders, but as for meeting in person, they had never met in person.
A few years ago, Shi Xiong contrived to invite Hu Sanniang to live in Jiyun Mountain for a while. To prevent Hu Sanniang from discovering his son's marriage was a sham, Shi Xiong dispatched his son, Xiao Xiong, to Langyuan Secret Realm to attend the Yushan Sect's leadership handover ceremony and visit the clan elders. Xiao Xiong returned from Langyuan Secret Realm to report that the elders were in retreat and unavailable to meet him. Retreating from cultivation is common for demon cultivators, just like cultivators. Shi Xiong dismissed the incident as bad luck, believing he hadn't been able to meet the elders.
Stone Bear's own strength was average, but he had never imagined that the cultivators would dare to force him to leave Jiyun Mountain. After all, the Black Bear Clan was still very powerful. Stone Bear remembered what Old Bear had said: with the support of these Heavenly Demon and Demon King-level elders, the cultivators would not dare to do anything to the Black Bear Clan.
For hundreds of years, whenever a cultivator came to visit, Shi Xiong would open the barrier to allow them to enter.
The one who came to deliver the leader's order this time was a Jindan cultivator named Tao Qian.
Tao Qian passed on the order to the leader of the alliance and ordered Shi Xiong to move out immediately. Shi Xiong refused to obey. Tao Qian did not say much to Black Bear and just used his fists to make his point.
Shi Xiong, who was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, was no match for Tao Qian, who was in the Golden Core Stage, and was knocked down in a few moves.
In the world of cultivation, strength is everything. Shi Xiong couldn't beat Tao Qian, so he could only pack up his things and prepare to move away in disappointment.
Tao Qian did not make things difficult for Shi Xiong and let him take his two sons to pack up his treasure.
When Tao Qian was staring at Shi Xiong packing his things, he received a communication token from the alliance leader and his expression immediately changed.
Shi Xiong's expression also changed. When Tao Qian opened the communication talisman, he did not avoid Shi Xiong and his son. Shi Xiong heard the order from the talisman: the Black Bear Clan is causing trouble in the secret realm, and the monks must kill the Black Bear Clan without mercy.
Shi Xiong and his two sons were no match for Tao Qian, so they had no choice but to give up their treasures and escape first. If it weren't for the Qiankun Mirror that helped block Tao Qian's attack at the critical moment, Shi Xiong and his two sons would have died long ago.
Shi Xiong and his two sons hid in the Shiwanda Mountains. Fortunately, Tao Qian did not hunt them down, but instead let Shi Xiong and his two sons hide in the Shiwanda Mountains for several months.
After Tao Qian took over Jiyun Mountain, cultivators frequently entered and exited the Shiwan Mountains. Shi Xiong and his son watched helplessly as several Foundation Establishment cultivators captured several minor demons from the Shiwan Mountains and fled, yet they dared not intervene. Furthermore, the cultivators looted every last spiritual plant and herb in the Shiwan Mountains. Shi Xiong was filled with anger and resentment, but he could do nothing about it.
Shi Xiong wanted to find trouble with the cultivators, but whether intentionally or unintentionally, the cultivators who came to the Ten Thousand Mountains were all at the Foundation Establishment stage or above. Even if Shi Xiong wanted to find a young cultivator in the Qi Refining stage to vent his anger, he couldn't find any trace of him.
Shi Xiong knew that his abilities were too low to defeat the cultivators who were "running wild" in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. He had no choice but to use secret methods to communicate with the elders of the tribe, hoping that the Heavenly Demon Kings would come forward to support him.
For some reason, the elders of the Black Bear Clan hadn't replied. Shi Xiong then realized something was amiss. Considering the Black Bear Clan, there were over thirty demon cultivators like the Demon Emperor and Heavenly Demon. If one of them wasn't available to respond to his message, it was impossible that all of them weren't available, right? All of these experts were in the Langyuan Secret Realm. Logically, with their strength and support, the Cultivation Alliance would have to be cautious if they wanted to move towards Jiyun Mountain, unless they had already...
Shi Xiong didn't dare to think about it any further, so he had to contact a few monks he was on good terms with. The monks all had unique jade talismans for communication. Two of the three monks who were usually on good terms with Shi Xiong ignored Shi Xiong's calls, and one secretly told Shi Xiong that all the black bear monsters in the secret realm had been killed. Unless Shi Xiong could find a female monk to offer to the leader as a furnace, otherwise, if the leader did not rescind the killing order, the lives of Shi Xiong and his son would be in danger.
