Chapter 34 -34: Baize Cubs [Extra for Alliance Hierarch ‘Neko Mimi’s Shirakawa’]_1

Shu Mountain’s thirty-six peaks, in truth, only refers to the peaks with an inherited lineage. If one were to count the numerous desolate, unclaimed peaks within the lingering cloud sea, there would be well over a hundred.

One such peak is Pagoda Peak, an isolated, uninhabited mountain.

Although currently unoccupied, the peak ranks among the most well-known within Shu Mountain. This is because, back in the day, it was home to the Demon Suppression Tower, the unparalleled divine artifact that topped the Ten Thousand Treasures Record!

Five hundred years have since passed, and the area has been transformed into a picturesque paradise, featuring concealed green hills, lush woods, and cascading waterfalls.

No disciple of the present Shu Mountain has ever witnessed this spectacle, yet they have gleaned impressions of the spectacle from ancient scroll paintings.

A massively solemn bronze tower used to stand tall between Heaven and Earth, intimidating ferocious winds and demonic waves, all thoroughly suppressed by the towering structure.

It seemed nothing less than a miracle.

The bronze tower bore witness to Shu Mountain’s thousands of years of glory. However, despite being currently filled with birdsong and blooming flowers, Shu Mountain is no longer the same.

As Chu Liang surveyed the landscape, he couldn’t help but feel slightly nostalgic.

As for Xu Ziqing, he didn’t pay too much attention to it. Although he didn’t know why they were meeting here, it was out of courtesy to agree to such a summon. Yet, there was something peculiar about the letter he had received, and he surmised it might not have been penned by Xu Ziqing in person, but instead be someone else’s prank.

But he didn’t mind. It would just mean he could uncover who was responsible.

This wasn’t due to Chu Liang’s negligence, but rather that he didn’t worry too much about his personal safety. After all, he had no enemies within the sect. Furthermore…

This was Shu Mountain and his mentor was Empress Feng.

His mentor might not have many other uses, but at the very least, she provided him with a sense of security.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.

Generally, the disciples of Shu Mountain believed that they would be fortunate if the disciple of Empress Feng wouldn’t trouble them. So who would even dare to provoke him?

With these thoughts in mind, Chu Liang scanned his surroundings as soon as he landed.

Suddenly, he heard a flurry of footfalls coming from the woods ahead. It didn’t sound like a human but rather like some wild beast.

“Hm?” Chu Liang became alert instantaneously.

Right after that, an impressive white figure darted out of the woods!

Standing about seven feet tall, it was a silver beast with the head of a dragon, antlers of a deer, and was covered in white mane from the head to the neck. Its long tail resembled that of a tiger or leopard, and it walked like a galloping horse, its white scales reflecting the sunlight.

“Oo-la-la——”

With a sound reminiscent of a deer’s cry, the creature dashed out of the woods at an astonishing speed, like a streak of silver lightning!

Chu Liang barely had time to make out what it was before he exclaimed in astonishment, “Baize?”

Indeed.

This creature was one of the cubs of the Baize, the Zhenshan Guardian Divine Beast of Shu Mountain Sect.

Before Chu Liang could react, the silver streak launched itself at him without any hesitation, leaving him no time to dodge!

Thud!

…

“Yay!”

From a big tree on a distant mountain peak, three figural shadows covered in leaves and grass let out a disturbed cheer. They were none other than Shang Ziliang, accompanied by Henchman A and B.

Seeing Chu Liang collide with the Baize Divine Beast, Shang Ziliang smirked in satisfaction, “Hehe, even if Empress Feng is formidable, would she dare to mess with the Baize?”

“Boss, we’d better be careful,” Attendant A cautioned in a low voice, “If the Baize realizes our presence, we might be in danger.”

“Of course I know that,” Shang Ziliang replied impatiently.

After a previous, disastrous experience here, it seemed fitting to lure Chu Liang to this same location.

All large immortal sects have their own Zhenshan Guardian Divine Beasts. These loyal, mighty beasts with long life spans are an integral part of the world’s natural order. Once appointed, they can protect an immortal sect for thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years.

The divine beast guarding Shu Mountain Sect is the Baize.

The creature in front of them was not the one, but its offspring, a Baize cub that was not quite six hundred years old.

Yes, you heard right. For divine beasts blessed with long life spans, a hundred years might only be equivalent to a single human year. Therefore, this Baize was indeed just a child.

In Shu Mountain, there was a dedicated Guard Peak for the divine beasts of the sect to live on. The disciples were forbidden to disturb it, and the beast generally did not venture far from the peak.

However, a few days ago, Shang Ziliang and his cronies ventured to Pagoda Peak out of boredom, only to be aggressively attacked by this Baize cub as soon as they landed.

Not to mention that they didn’t dare to retaliate against the revered creature of Shu Mountain… In reality, the Baize Divine Beast was born with nearly Fifth Stage strength, so they stood no chance at all.

That was a painful memory…

The three of them were severely beaten down by the Baize cub, and then launched high into the sky by its horns… When they returned to Yunyao Peak, they spent four to five days sleeping face-down.

After inquiring with his father, Shang Shuwen, Shang Ziliang finally understood. Recently, the Baize cub had been running over to Pagoda Peak a few times a month. During its stay, no one was allowed to approach Pagoda Peak; otherwise, its aggression would flare up.

Shang Ziliang could only chalk up their encounter as simply bad luck.

Today, seeing someone else about to experience the misfortune he had once encountered, the trio couldn’t help but jump for joy.

But then…

A look of happiness lingered for a moment on the faces of the three people, then slowly stiffened, and then turned into astonishment and disbelief.

It seemed as if they’d seen an incredible scene.

There was a sense of confusion in Shang Ziliang’s gaze, muttering, “Is there something wrong?”

Henchman A was dumbstruck, “I don’t understand.”

Henchman B didn’t make a sound, his gaze also full of confusion.

Three baffled faces.

…

“Baize…”

At the moment when he was knocked down by this Baize cub, Chu Liang had a slight feeling of unease.

Although this was his first encounter with this Divine Beast, every disciple of Shu Mountain had been educated since childhood that the Baize Divine Beast is Shu Mountain’s most precious friend and it must never be harmed.

Even if it beat him up, he could only suffer in silence.

Moreover, the speed and strength of this Divine Beast were far greater than his own, and there was no opportunity to fight back…

But just as Chu Liang had fallen to the ground and closed his eyes, the expected pain didn’t come. Instead, there was a sticky, warm sensation on his face.

Slurp, slurp…

When Chu Liang opened his eyes again, he saw a tender pink tongue. The majestic Baize Divine Beast was…licking his face?

And on close inspection, its eyes held an irrepressible excitement and a strong sense of familiarity.

As if it recognized him.

“Huh?” Chu Liang was slightly confused.

The Baize cub’s intimacy couldn’t be feigned, but he had never encountered it before. And even if he had, why would he be favored by a Divine Beast?

After a moment of thought, Chu Liang came up with the most likely possibility.

Could it be because…

He was handsome?

“Woof woof——” The Baize cub made a joyful cry again.

It seemed to be talking to him?

But Chu Liang didn’t understand beast language, so it was difficult for him to understand the cub’s intentions. To respond, he could only pat the cub’s neck gently.

“Woof woof——” The Baize cub happily ran two circles around Chu Liang, then lowered its head and lay down.

“Huh?” Chu Liang frowned.

It couldn’t be inviting him to ride it, could it?

Divine Beasts seldom allow people to ride on them. If they did, it would represent a significant recognition.

Faced with this rare opportunity, and seeing the cub’s enthusiasm, Chu Liang felt it would be rude to refuse, so he cautiously attempted to get up and slowly crawl over.

His movements were slow and deliberate, in case he had misunderstood. If the cub suddenly turned hostile… he could instantly pull back and explain.

I’m just petting it, not getting on.

Fortunately, it seemed he had understood correctly.

Not until he was comfortably settled on the Baize cub’s back did it happily “woof woof” and stood up. Then suddenly, it took off at full speed.

A wild gallop!

Whoosh—

The wind rushed past suddenly. The speed was several times faster than Chu Liang’s best pace when flying on a sword. In a blink, they plunged into the surrounding dense forest.

Trees whizzed past at an incredible speed. Chu Liang could barely make out the landscape on the side of the road. Suddenly, a leap revealed a silver waterfall in front of his eyes.

It was the great waterfall on Pagoda Peak!

Legend has it that after the Demon Suppression Tower left, a huge pit was left behind here, which later formed a lake. The waterfall fell vertically into the lake, roaring like thunder.

Approaching the lake, the speed of the Baize cub did not decrease at all. Suddenly it leaped up, crashing straight into the waterfall.

“Hey!” Chu Liang couldn’t help but shout.

Boom—

With a muffled sound, the Baize cub carried him directly into the waterfall. But behind the waterfall, there was no mountain wall, but an open cave.

So, there was a hidden world behind it!

A Water Curtain Cave?

After rushing through the dense forest and entering the Water Curtain Cave, it seemed to want to keep going…all the way to the end?

In front of the cave, the darkness seemed bottomless. The Baize cub galloped forward, carrying Chu Liang. In an instant, they had travelled several miles. Finally, there was a gap ahead, and the cub leaped forward once more!

Only then did Chu Liang see the end of this Water Curtain Cave.

It was a cavern, and In the cavern, there was…

A woman?
