Chapter 80 The Beast King's Wisdom

The little mackerel king's eyes darted around, stealing a glance at Xu Lun behind it. Seeing his indifferent expression, it would have been furious long ago, ready to give this two-legged beast a good kick and teach him a lesson.

However, when it thought about the other party's previous attack, it had to give up the impulsive idea.

"Something's not right with this human..."

The Western Mastiff King began to have doubts. It had witnessed Xu Lun strike down with his palm, and the power was no less than that of any beast king. Perhaps this was why the Azure King had summoned this person.

After much deliberation, the Western Mastiff King finally spoke:

"Kid, don't hold a grudge. Before, you sent this cloud leopard to the forest to find me, saying it was to inform me, but didn't you actually want to use me as a shield to deal with your enemies?"

Don't underestimate the intelligence of the Beast King. At this level, regardless of race, their perception and understanding of the world are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

So what you can see, I can see; what you can't see, I can see. Don't think that you can fool everyone by using some petty tricks, understand?

I did step in to help you resolve this matter, not to mention me. Even the Azure King spoke up in the end. Otherwise, a whole bunch of humans would have died to apologize to me today before this matter would be over.

If things really get to that point, you'll be in big trouble. Those few humans obviously have some status and position. If I really slaughter them, wouldn't that be the same as bringing bloodshed to the forest?

If we really get to the bottom of this, the root of all the causes and effects is still with you. Have you considered the consequences?

Or are you confident that you can escape unscathed?

This was precisely what puzzled the Western Mastiff King the most. Judging from the power of Xu Lun's previous attack, he was very strong. In fact, the Western Mastiff King couldn't understand why those cultivators who claimed to come from Yundu dared to chase after a strong person and keep provoking and pressuring him. Therefore, it immediately made harsh statements and took drastic measures against those cultivators, adopting high-pressure tactics.

In its view, these cultivators were even more insane. Whether they were cursed or brainwashed, they had no concept of the difference in strength between themselves and the enemy. They were like a group of desperados, completely unafraid of death, and even had crazy faces. It felt like they were just there to be killed.

Eventually, events seemed to confirm his suspicions: the human leader dared to call him a "demon" to his face—he was really asking for trouble.

It wasn't until the Azure King spoke that the other person came to their senses. Could it be that they had really been cursed? Had something gone wrong with their brain?

These are questions that the Western Mastiff King cannot understand. Although it claims to be at the level of a Beast King and has a strong comprehension, there are still differences between races. The things it cannot understand, see through, or guess are probably things that the Azure King and the White King discovered long ago. Otherwise, they would not have spoken up themselves to quell this chaotic war.

Little did it know that Xu Lun's combat strength depended entirely on his opponent; it naturally couldn't comprehend the power of an external device like the bracelet.

At this moment.

Xu Lun, who was following behind, understood instantly after hearing what the Xiyan King had just said that these beasts that had cultivated to the point of enlightenment were not so easy to fool, and could no longer be simply regarded as birds and beasts.

From a metaphysical perspective, even a creature like the Western Mastiff King, having reached this level, has transcended the realm of mortals and mundane things. Its spirituality and status belong to another level of existence, equivalent to a higher-dimensional being.

Insects can even evolve into dragons, so the Xixi King and Qing King are already extraordinary. In front of such spirit beasts, engaging in such trivial matters does indeed seem very low-class and clownish.

So Xu Lun simply stopped trying to figure out those rhetoric and said directly:

"I do owe you this. I can do something for you later, as long as it doesn't violate my principles."

"Whoa..."

Upon hearing this, the Western Mastiff King let out a soft snort and thought to himself:

"It's fairly spacious..."

With this premise in mind, the conversation became much easier. King Xiyuan was very curious about how Xu Lun and Luka met. It was indeed quite strange for a two-legged creature to be walking together with a green cat.

So Xu Lun and Luka recounted the whole story from their respective perspectives, but they both tacitly omitted the same thing—the existence of the Evil White Tiger.

Luca only said that the villagers mistook him for the man-eating monster of Charva village, but he did not reveal that the man-eating monster was actually his brother who had grown up with him since childhood.

As for Xu Lun, he didn't mention that he punched the man-eating monster away. He only said that he wanted to save Luka, so he had a conflict with the cultivators.

"You human are quite interesting..."

After listening, the King of the Western Mastiff gave this evaluation.

Xu Lun did not respond, and seeing this, the King of the Western Mastiff did not press the matter further.

It was certainly curious about where Xu Lun had learned his skills. Such a young two-legged beast must have some ancient heritage supporting him. However, Xu Lun clearly did not want to reveal his identity and background. Seeing this, the Western Mastiff King said nothing more.

Since the Azure King has already decided to summon this person, it's best to leave any questions to the Azure King to ask in person.

They walked up the hillside, and gradually, patches of snow, some large and some small, could be seen scattered in various places.

The tall pine and fir trees were also covered with a layer of snow that wasn't too thick. Large and small snowflakes made these green trees look exceptionally beautiful.

As they walked, a steep, towering mountain wall gradually appeared ahead, as if there was no road left.

The trees in this woodland are very tall, and the view is actually very narrow when walking below. Even though it is on a slope, Xu Lun can hardly see the world outside the forest. Even when he looks back, the dense and towering tree trunks of the woodland below still block his view, making it impossible to see outside.

With no road ahead and only forests behind, Xu Lun had no idea what to do next.

The Western Mastiff King didn't say anything. He walked forward, sniffed the mountain wall, and kept looking down and up before finally stopping at a certain spot.

It stretched out its short, thick hooves and nudged the mountain wall twice, saying:

"It's me. I brought the person to the King of Qing."

At first there was no movement, but after a while, the stone on the mountain wall where the Western Mastiff King had struck suddenly began to loosen. With a friction sound, it slowly pushed outward, revealing a very narrow gap, about the width of a person.
