Black Cat explained to the two what happened.

It turned out that it was the "thief". The reason why An Ling and the others were able to find the hiding place of Old Man Wuque was because of its efforts.

"This demon is the master of Yunwu Mountain, the Great Yunwu Demon!" The black cat suddenly jumped onto An Ling's shoulder and said proudly.

An Ling's heart melted when the Cloud Demon's soft feet stepped on her shoulder. She was afraid that the Demon would feel uncomfortable and jump away, so she didn't dare to move. She stood there like a log, glancing at the Demon constantly and saying, "I've met the Cloud Demon. You are so handsome and charming!"

"Hmph!" The Cloud Demon snorted coldly. Although its tail gently sweeping across An Ling's head had already exposed its mood, it continued, "Who told you Qingfeng Temple to be so useless? If this demon doesn't take action, all the humans within a dozen miles will die!"

Tang Feng lowered his head in shame, not knowing how to react.

"Um... my storage ring... can you give it back to me first?" An Ling's first reaction was to get her storage ring back. She missed the small treasury in the ring so much that she became extremely anxious after just being away from it for a day.

"Why are you so anxious?" The Cloud Demon was a little angry and hit An Ling's head with his claws. Seeing her grinning, he felt a little relieved and continued, "Children are not allowed to interrupt me when I am talking!"

"Okay... okay..." In fact, An Ling's head didn't hurt at all. She just followed the mood of the Cloud Monster and pretended to be in pain. Now she turned into a good girl and listened carefully to what the monster on her shoulder said.

The Cloud and Mist Demon said, "Everyone in this area knows that I am in charge of this area. If anyone wants to take something from the mountain, they must show respect to me!"

"That guy hid well and kept a low profile. I didn't realize there was such a bad guy and those disgusting things in that forest a year ago..."

……

The black cat squatted on the head of the handsome giant beast with a proud look on its face, commanding the giant beast below to move forward. It was going to inspect its territory and see if there were any mortals who could offer it delicious red silk wine.

The beast is called Zouwu, a benevolent beast similar to a tiger. It has a strong body, smooth muscles, colorful patterns on its body that sparkle and shine as it runs, a round and hairy head with two long sharp horns, and its feet step on the wind and ride on the clouds, looking very majestic.

But such a majestic beast now has a cute little black cat on its head, so it doesn't look majestic at all. However, it still has a strange sense of cuteness that makes people smile.

"Everyone, let's go over there! I can already smell the scent of good wine!" The black cat licked the corner of its mouth and patted the pointed horn on the left side of Zouwu, signaling it to turn.

Zhuowu did not say anything, but just gave a low roar in response. Wind and clouds surged under its feet, and it turned effortlessly while moving at a high speed. With a slight swing of its big head, it drove the surrounding wind, allowing all the wind to assist its running. In the blink of an eye, it had traveled a thousand miles. It was truly magical.

An herbalist reverently placed a jar of red wine on the side of the road, clasped his hands together, and muttered to himself: "Great demon of cloud and fog, please bless me, Zhang Danian, to have a smooth and safe journey." This has been the custom in Hongliu Town and the surrounding villages and towns since ancient times. He was not sure when this custom started.

Although some people with good intentions have tried it before and found that even if red silk wine is not offered, nothing bad will happen, at most people will fall down frequently or things will disappear inexplicably, but Zhang Danian has been influenced by his ancestors since he was a child. People like them who make a living in the mountains cannot afford to offend the Cloud and Mist Monster. What's more, he has his own red silk wine at home, so it is not difficult to take a jar of it up the mountain to pay tribute to it.

"Hey, this little guy is good and very pious. Unlike those bad guys before, he actually challenged my authority!" said the black cat.

Zouwu made some gurgling sounds in his throat, trying to speak human language like the black cat, but he couldn't utter any words, only a few vague words.

The black cat touched Zou Wu's big head with its soft paws and said for it: "Oh, you mean they are just about to forget us?" It was silent for a while and replied: "Yes, humans are always forgetful. Besides, their lifespan is so short. Our old friends have died long ago. After they die, who can guarantee that their descendants will abide by these inexplicable rules left by their ancestors?"

It looked at Zhang Danian and said to Zou Wu with a smile: "This little guy might be the descendant of an old friend. Let's give him some goodies to take home later!"

Just as the two beasts were sighing, something strange happened!

As soon as Zhang Danian picked up the medicine basket, his neck was strangled by a skinny and pale hand!

"What a delicious blood meal." The man was very thin, with deeply sunken cheeks and bloodshot eyes. He stared straight at Zhang Danian, licked his lips in disgust, and prepared to take a bite!

“Roar!” Zouwu and the great demon Yunwu were both paying attention to this mortal. How could they let him get hurt by the bad guys? Zouwu suddenly kicked his hind legs, and his huge body came roaring towards them with a violent storm!

Black Cat was also angry. It was so hard to find such a pious mortal, but someone wanted to take advantage of him? And who was this person? When did he come to Yunwu Mountain?

The two beasts came fiercely, and Zou Wu opened his bloody mouth, with canine teeth as sharp as pickaxes, and bit off the man's body with just one bite! The man was left with only half of his body. He wailed in vain and crawled helplessly, but he could only be killed by a claw of the giant beast!

The herbalist had just been strangled by someone and witnessed such a brutal scene. He was frightened for a moment, his eyes were lifeless, and he didn't even notice that saliva was flowing from his open mouth.

"Oh no! Da Nian was scared to death! And why did you kill him so quickly? I haven't asked him clearly yet!" Although the black cat felt great watching the bad guy being slapped to death with one claw, he soon remembered the serious matters and complained.

"Woo..." Zouwu lowered his big head innocently and made a sound of grievance in his throat.

The black cat jumped off Zou Wu's head, ran to Zhang Danian, licked his cheek, and rolled up a cloud of mist. It took away the red wine on the roadside, and called on Zou Wu to move Zhang Danian to where they lived. They had to cure Zhang Danian quickly!

……

"This is how it all started." Black Cat couldn't help but scratch An Ling's hair while telling the story, making her hair, which was not tied up properly to begin with, as messy as a bird's nest. She looked like a crazy woman.

An Ling and Tang Feng listened attentively, not wanting to miss any details.

She asked, "Senior Great Demon, who is that person? When I first heard it, I thought it was the black-robed man from today."

Black Cat sighed and replied, "He was just a hopeless pawn who fell into evil ways. He is not worth mentioning. The key point is that his death made the evil organization start to pay attention to Yunwu Mountain."

It continued, "At first I thought he was just a casual cultivator, dead or alive, but I never thought he was a marginal member of a certain organization. Before his death, he accepted a mission to investigate the whereabouts of Old Man Wugui. Once the soul lamp went out, those people began to doubt whether Old Man Wugui was really in Yunwu Mountain."

"Then, the nightmare began. During this year, many evil cultivators came one after another. I could defeat some of them, but I couldn't. What they all had in common was that they were frantically searching for the trace of the Wuque Elder in this area."

"The black-robed man who was able to transform into black mist today was only average among the group. He was just lucky enough to find Elder Wuque in advance and got a great bargain."

"I've said so much, do you understand? The reason why I set up this trap is to drive this troublesome guy out of our territory. It's none of my business whether he is caught or killed. For this reason, I stole his soul-pulling bell, and used it to barely drive a ghost skeleton to the town, hoping to attract the attention of both good and evil monks."

"If Wu Yu couldn't win, Zou Wu and I would naturally take action. I never thought that you would appear in the East China Sea, An Ling. You really exceeded my imagination. You are really great."

Black Cat praised An Ling with a smile.
