Chapter 751: Chapter 681: Skeleton Mountain Trembles

Holy shit...!

Yangzi Wheel cursed under his breath. He dodged with an incredibly fast Body Technique, not daring to take the hit head-on.

He knew the consequences of taking that hit would be severe.

BOOM! The fiery bull passed through, and all the tables and items in its path were instantly incinerated before it crashed into a wall.

The wall melted away on impact.

"Halt, you black-robed whelp! Where do you think you’re going?"

Yangzi Wheel’s face paled. He hurriedly said, "I wasn’t causing trouble! Song Ao attacked me, and I was just defending myself. I’m a well-mannered guest, and I’m even friends with your boss!"

"Don’t misunderstand! Stop, please!"

Terrified by the Bull Demon King, Yangzi Wheel lost all Battle Intent and could only offer frantic explanations.

The guests in the dining area had long since retreated to a safe corner to watch the show. Hearing Yangzi Wheel’s explanation, their jaws dropped.

’An official War God from the Heaven Ranking chickened out?’

’He backed down in front of one of the inn’s security guards?’

’Fuck, what the hell kind of security guard is this? He sent one War God flying with a single punch and made another one admit defeat with the next.’

’The world’s strongest security guard has been born.’

The guests felt their worldviews shatter. But this guard’s Demon Qi surged to the heavens; anyone could tell he was definitely a Great Demon King.

But the Bull Demon King couldn’t be bothered with Yangzi Wheel’s excuses. As long as his master didn’t tell him to stop, he could act with impunity. Even if he tore a hole in the sky, his master would be there to back him up.

He continued his pursuit. The vast dining area was now in complete disarray, a total wreck.

If this kept up, the inn might as well be declared a lost cause.

Feng Xi grew anxious and shouted, "Security, throw him out! If you’re going to fight, take it outside!"

"Fight? What fight? I’m a guest!" Yangzi Wheel was frustrated. All he wanted was to have a quiet drink, so how did he end up being hunted down?

’It’s been years since I’ve been this humiliated.’

’What’s the background of this Great Demon King? How can he be so ridiculously strong?’

"Halt, black-robed brat! If you’ve got the guts, stop dodging!" the Bull Demon King bellowed, his Demon Qi boiling around him.

"Don’t push it too far!" Yangzi Wheel roared in anger.

"Great King, please make it stop, or the inn will be destroyed!"

Tu Xiao’an nodded. ’That makes sense. If this inn is destroyed, I’ll have a hard time explaining it.’

In truth, the Bull Demon King was already holding back significantly. Otherwise, the inn would have been reduced to rubble long ago.

"Hey, you," Tu Xiao’an said with a faint smile. "I can have the guard stop, but someone has to be responsible for all the damages to the inn, right?"

Yangzi Wheel quickly replied, "I’ll pay! I’ll pay! No problem!"

’Better to lose some money and avoid disaster than to keep being hunted down.’

Feng Xi gave Tu Xiao’an a thumbs-up; she hadn’t even thought of that herself. He smiled and said, "Alright, Bull. Come on back."

At his words, the menacing Bull Demon King giggled and trotted happily over to Tu Xiao’an.

Yangzi Wheel secretly breathed a sigh of relief, his forehead covered in sweat. He then watched the Bull Demon King warily, his expression grim.

’This is the most powerful Great Demon King I’ve ever encountered. The strength of the Yaoling Mountain Range is as unfathomable as ever.’

’And who is that young man? Why would a Great Demon King obey him?’

Subtly, Yangzi Wheel had already classified Tu Xiao’an as an extremely dangerous individual, someone not to be offended lightly.

"It’s all yours now."

Without needing Tu Xiao’an’s instruction, Feng Xi had already picked up a calculator. After tapping away at it, she came up with a long string of numbers and presented it to Yangzi Wheel.

It was time to slaughter the pig.

Yangzi Wheel stared at the long number on the calculator, his eyes wide as he glared at Feng Xi. "Isn’t this a bit much? This is robbery!"

’And they’re robbing a War God, no less!’

"Security! Security!" Feng Xi shouted immediately.

WHOOSH...!

The Bull Demon King appeared at Yangzi Wheel’s side, grinning menacingly. "Want another round, black-robed brat?"

"You guys are ruthless. Fine, I’ll do it out of respect for your boss," Yangzi Wheel said, taking a deep breath before following Feng Xi to pay for the damages.

The minor disturbance was over. Tu Xiao’an didn’t think much of it and wandered around the inn, familiarizing himself with the layout.

The other guests in the inn, however, were furtively staring at Tu Xiao’an as if he were some rare treasure.

’A Great Demon King obeys this kid. Just who is he?’

’Could he be one of the top fifty bigshots from the official Heaven Ranking?’

Tu Xiao’an hated being stared at like a freak. He swept a cold gaze across the room, and the air temperature seemed to drop by several degrees.

WHOOSH... As if monkeys scattering from a falling tree, the guests nearly pissed themselves in fear and dispersed in an instant.

「Time passed.」

Before he knew it, Tu Xiao’an had been waiting at the inn for Luo Ziyun for a full week.

He had thought he would see her soon, but there was no sign of her at all.

Suddenly, a bad feeling crept into Tu Xiao’an’s heart.

On the night of the seventh day, the entire inn suddenly began to shake. A tremendous roar echoed from outside, as if the sky were about to collapse.

"What’s happening? What’s going on?"

Many of the inn’s guests rushed out of their rooms, their faces filled with terror.

’Is it an earthquake?’

After a moment, someone exclaimed, "It’s not an earthquake! Skeleton Mountain is shaking!"

At that moment, Skeleton Mountain was rumbling like an erupting volcano, sending continuous tremors that shook the entirety of X City.

"Great King, this is bad! Something’s happening on Skeleton Mountain! Many people are fleeing the mountain, and they’re all frantically saying the War Relics have appeared!"

Feng Xi appeared before Tu Xiao’an in a flash to report.

"The War Relics have appeared?" Tu Xiao’an was startled. He stared at Feng Xi. "Hasn’t she returned yet?"

"My aunt hasn’t come back. By now, she’s been in the mountains for nearly half a month."

"Something’s wrong. I’m afraid she’s run into trouble."

Tu Xiao’an rushed out of the inn. Looking up, he was stunned to realize it was the night of the full moon.

An eerie, crimson moon hung high in the sky like a disk. Skeleton Mountain, shrouded in a hazy fog, seemed to be veiled in a thin, pale-red gauze under the moonlight.

Even more bizarre, Skeleton Mountain was trembling as if it were a person shivering, and numerous boulders were tumbling down its slopes.

At the same time, quite a few Martial Cultivators were being crushed to death by the falling rocks.

"Run! The War Relics on Skeleton Mountain have opened! It’s going to be destroyed!"

A group of Martial Cultivators who had previously gone up the mountain were now scrambling down, their faces filled with terror, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Bull Demon King, grab one of them for me to question."

"Yes, Master!"

The Bull Demon King vanished and quickly returned, dragging a young War King who had been fleeing down the mountain.

The young War King was covered in injuries. His expression was one of sheer terror, and his eyes were unfocused. He seemed even worse off than an ordinary person.

"What happened on the mountain?"

Tu Xiao’an asked, staring at him.

"The War Relics suddenly appeared... a lot of people died... even several War Gods died! You can’t stay in X City! The monsters on the mountain have gone crazy and are killing everyone!"

"Let go of me! The horde of monsters is about to rush down the mountain! Everything will be destroyed!"

The terrified young War King struggled to break free from the Bull Demon King’s massive hand, but it was all in vain.

’Several War Gods died?’

Tu Xiao’an’s brow twitched. ’Luo Ziyun has been on the mountain for so long and hasn’t come down. I’m afraid her purpose for Ascending the Mountain wasn’t to find some Dao Fruit after all. She must have been going for the War Relics from the start.’

’She opened an inn at the foot of the mountain just to better understand Skeleton Mountain and make it easier to find the coordinates of the War Relics.’
