No one paid any attention to him, but the short and fat City Lord didn’t dare show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction. He stood there trembling as he listened to the group of people whispering to each other, seemingly mentioning a few names and mentioning the Heavenly Wolf Valley.
A moment later, the group of people left, not even sparing him a glance from beginning to end. A moment later, several dozen figures flew up into the sky.
Only at this moment did the short and fat City Lord let out a long sigh, feeling his back wet as if he had just escaped death.
At this point, how could he not know that this group of masters had not come here for him, nor for his own city, they were just passing by. He really didn’t know which bastard had provoked these two great forces, causing so many masters to move out together and even causing him to be on edge. Cursing in his heart, he felt much better.
The Heavenly Wolf Valley was a massive mountain valley surrounded by mountains on all sides. There was only one way to enter and exit the valley.
As the most outstanding rising star of the Heavenly Wolf Valley, Lan He’s status in the valley was naturally extremely high. As she led Yang Kai into the Heavenly Wolf Valley, a disciple guarding the entrance immediately stepped forward and greeted, “Elder Lan!”
As he spoke, he looked at Yang Kai curiously, wondering what kind of relationship he had with Lan He. This was the first time they had seen Lan He bring a man back to the valley.
“Is this the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf?” Yang Kai looked up at the two giant stone statues at the mouth of the valley. These two stone statues were obviously quite old and were more than a hundred meters tall. Both of them had the posture of a pair of moon eyes, emitting a faint aura of age.
If it was before, Yang Kai might not have known what kind of creature these stone statues were, but after listening to Lan He’s words, he naturally guessed that these two stone statues were the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf.
Lan He smiled and nodded, “Yes, the source of my Heavenly Wolf Valley’s founding is the ancient Holy Spirit Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf, something left behind by the first generation Patriarch. It has been twenty to thirty thousand years since then.”
“Impressive,” Yang Kai nodded, not holding back his praise.
Holy Spirits were not to be underestimated. Although he had been clamoring fiercely with Luan Feng in the Wild Ancient Land as if he was confident he could defeat her, if he really provoked Luan Feng to fight with him, he was afraid he would not be her opponent.
The Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf was also a Holy Spirit, so it was naturally not weak.
“Brother Yang, please,” Lan He smiled and extended her hand.
Yang Kai nodded and followed her into the valley.
Lan He led the way and said, “I’ll take you to see the Valley Master first. If you want to go to Spirit Beast Island, you’ll have to ask him for help.”
Yang Kai hesitated for a moment before asking, “Will this matter make things difficult for your Valley Master?”
Lan He pursed her lips and smiled, “Rest assured, Valley Master will agree.” Blinking her eyes, she said, “I forgot to tell Brother Yang that Valley Master is my Master. If the Disciple agrees, it means that Master has also agreed.”
Yang Kai couldn’t help laughing.
There were quite a number of disciples in Heavenly Wolf Valley, about three or four thousand of them, all of them scattered throughout the entire mountain valley. There were also some Spirit Peaks in the valley, but compared to the ones surrounding the mountain valley, they were a bit smaller. The World Energy in the valley was rich, and the fragrance of flowers filled the air. It could be said to be a place of great beauty.
Moreover, Yang Kai saw many wolf monsters in the valley. Some were in groups of three or five, some were alone, and some were running around the valley in groups. The disciples of the Heavenly Wolf Valley were not afraid of them at all, some of them even accompanied the wolf monsters. The unique characteristics of the Sect made Yang Kai sigh inwardly. As expected of the Heavenly Wolf Valley, it was a sect that wanted to associate with wolves to the end.
As he was moving forward, a violent aura suddenly rushed towards him, and a giant gray wolf the size of a calf suddenly appeared in front of him. Yang Kai couldn’t help clicking his tongue in wonder, because this wolf monster was actually a 12th-Order Monster Beast. In other words, it was equivalent to a human Emperor Realm master.
However, judging from its aura, it should be at the early twelfth stage.
What surprised Yang Kai even more was that he could feel a trace of Lan He’s aura from this wolf monster's body. Thinking back to what he had just seen, he had a faint guess.
Sure enough, after seeing the giant wolf, Lan He smiled and rushed over to pat its head, “Xiao Wu, are you waiting for me?”
The giant wolf’s large head arched towards Lan He’s chest, showing an extremely intimate expression.
Lan He smiled at it for a moment before turning around and saying, “Xiao Wu, let me introduce you, this Senior Brother is Yang Kai, the one who saved my life back then.” She then turned to Yang Kai and said, “This is my Battle Wolf Xiao Wu.”
As their eyes met, the wolf’s eyes became sharp as it nodded slightly, expressing its gratitude towards Yang Kai in a human-like manner. Yang Kai also knew that a twelfth-level Monster Beast had developed intelligence and was definitely not something an ordinary Monster Beast could compare with, so he cupped his hands and said, “Greetings, Brother Wu.”
The giant wolf let out a roar, a look of displeasure appearing on its face.
Yang Kai was stunned.
Lan He convulsed with laughter as she said happily, “Brother Yang, Xiao Wu is a female.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a series of crackling sounds rang out from the giant wolf’s body, and its huge body twisted and transformed into the shape of a burly woman, taller than Lan He by a full head. Her frame was broad and her fingers were strong, her nails as sharp as blades, and she wore a short shirt and a short skirt. Her round and thick thighs were exposed to the air, and her bulging muscles contained an explosive power as she fiercely punched Yang Kai and roared, “Are you blind?”
Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling awkward, but he couldn’t blame her. Just now, who knew if it was a man or a woman?
Lan He jumped up and patted her head, “Don’t be rude!”
Xiao Wu pursed her lips and suddenly wore a solemn expression as she cupped her fists and said, “I heard Xiao He mention you before. Many thanks for what happened back then.”
Yang Kai smiled, “It’s nothing, no need to worry about it.”
Xiao Wu looked at Yang Kai from head to toe and then cupped her broad shoulders towards Lan He, saying, “This boy is not bad, why don’t you take him? You’re not young anymore, it’s time to find a man.”
As soon as these words came out, Lan He was stunned.
Yang Kai was also dumbfounded, thinking to himself, My ears aren’t deaf yet, you should be whispering to her, why are you talking so loudly?
Lan He blushed and scolded, “Don’t speak nonsense, Brother Yang is in trouble this time, I brought him here to find Master.”
“What kind of trouble?” Xiao Wu asked curiously.
“It’s useless even if I tell you. Just wait here obediently, I’ll come find you later,” As she spoke, she quickly called out to Yang Kai, afraid that Xiao Wu would say something shocking again.
Looking at the disappearing figures of the two, Xiao Wu snorted and once again transformed into a giant wolf, galloping across the ground.
“I’ve embarrassed myself in front of Brother Yang. Xiao Wu has always been so talkative, Brother Yang doesn’t need to mind,” Lan He said somewhat embarrassedly.
Yang Kai smiled, “Xiao Wu is quite interesting.”
Lan He said, “I grew up together with Xiao Wu. My Heavenly Wolf Valley’s disciples, if they have the aptitude, can subdue a Wolf Warrior. To others, they may only be useful as Monster Beasts, but to my Heavenly Wolf Valley’s disciples, they are family and siblings.”
Yang Kai said, “Last time in the Star Fragments Sea, I didn’t see you bring Xiao Wu with you.”
Lan He smiled bitterly and shook her head, “Entering the Star Fragments Sea is too difficult, my Heavenly Wolf Valley only obtained a few spots, so Xiao Wu couldn’t enter.”
Yang Kai nodded. He had entered the Star Fragments Sea before, so he naturally knew that when the Star Fragments Sea opened, only those with Star Seals could be summoned and have the qualifications to enter.
As the two of them spoke, they arrived at a large hall. Lan He arranged for Yang Kai to sit down and rest before ordering people to serve tea. She then said to Yang Kai, “Brother Yang, please wait a moment, I’ll go find Master.”
Yang Kai agreed.
Lan He turned around and left.
In Heavenly Wolf Valley, on a certain Spirit Peak, Lan He barged in and shouted, “Master, Master…”
A moment later, a sigh came from a cottage, “I’m here.”
Lan He followed the voice and bowed towards an elegant middle-aged man, “Master.”
This middle-aged man was none other than the Valley Master of Heavenly Wolf Valley, Tang Sheng. He was also the strongest cultivator in Heavenly Wolf Valley, a Second-Order Emperor Realm.
Although there was another Vice Valley Master in Heavenly Wolf Valley, Qian Xiuying, who was also a Second-Order Emperor Realm, the two of them were husband and wife, and Tang Sheng had broken through a bit earlier, so if they really fought, Tang Sheng should be able to win.
Opening his eyes slightly, Tang Sheng looked at the disciple in front of him and was quite satisfied. Heavenly Wolf Valley was not a top Sect, so it wasn’t easy to raise an Emperor Realm. If Lan He could live up to his expectations and become an Emperor Realm as soon as possible, how could his Master not be satisfied? Smiling, he asked, “Did you gain anything from this trip?”
Lan He said, “I’ve gained some experience and heard some anecdotes, but I haven’t gained much.”
Tang Sheng smiled and said, “On the road of growth, what you see and hear is also experience. Perhaps at some point, the words you heard and what you saw will become nutrients for your growth, the key to your breakthrough, or the straw that will save your life.”
“Master is right,” Lan He looked at him with a smile, completely lacking the restraint an ordinary disciple would have when facing her Master, instead acting like a daughter facing her father, “This time, I saw the straw that saved my life.”
Tang Sheng asked, “What life-saving straw?”
Lan He asked, “Does Master remember Elder Ling?” As she spoke, she walked over and poured a cup of tea for Tang Sheng.
Tang Sheng picked up his teacup and took a sip, “Elder Ling is an Elder of my Heavenly Wolf Valley and we often meet. Is there anything you don’t remember?”
Lan He walked up behind him and placed her hands on his shoulders, rubbing them as she smiled, “Disciple is asking, does Master remember why Elder Ling came to my Heavenly Wolf Valley?”
Tang Sheng sighed, “Naturally, she is here for Wu An. Her relationship with Wu An is more solid than gold. If not for that, how could I have made an exception and accepted her into Heavenly Wolf Valley, even giving her the position of Elder?”
Ling Yinqin did not come from the Heavenly Wolf Valley, but because she had married a disciple of the Heavenly Wolf Valley, Wu An, a long time ago. Unfortunately, Wu An had died in a Secret Realm, so she had come a long way to escort Wu An’s ashes to the Heavenly Wolf Valley and allow her husband to rest in peace.
