Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Eastern Mountain Cat Clan_1

Chapter 41 -41 Eastern Mountain Cat Clan_1

Night fell, leaving the mountain forest in tranquility.

Chu Liang was walking alone on a small trail on the outskirts.

East Mountain was not big, but it had a steep terrain, few people ventured there even in normal times. The night wind was whistling, carrying with it a damp mist, most likely a sign of impending mountain rain.

In his hand, he held a jade talisman. The cinnabar red glow on the talisman guided him towards his intended direction, allowing him to gauge the approximate direction and distance. Unless a strong cultivator erased the Tailing Talisman on Lady Ming, she wouldn’t be able to escape the talisman’s lock.

Focused, he proceeded. When the moon was high in the sky, Chu Liang arrived at the entrance of a secluded cave dwelling.

The dwelling was hidden behind a steep mountain cliff. Without the guidance of the Tailing Jade Talisman, he would not have likely found it. No wonder Landlord Ming was unable to find it after searching extensively.

Now that he’d found Lady Ming’s whereabouts, he felt relieved. In two leaps, he reached the entrance of the dwelling.

Out of politeness, he didn’t barge in directly but knocked on the door instead.

Knock, knock, knock.

Knock, knock, knock.

After knocking for a while, a sound that was a cross between a yawn and a growl emanated from within, followed by the sliding open of the stone door, a gigantic cat’s head emerged.

“Who is it?”

The figure had a speckled cathead, exuding an air of laziness from lack of sleep. He still possessed long fur and tail but had transformed into a human form, dressed in coarse clothes. It was instantly clear that he was a lowly demon who had only partially transformed.

Chu Liang smiled and replied: “I’m a disciple of Shu Mountain Sect and am here searching for Lady Ming of Xingzhou City. I request you to inform her.”

“Shu Mountain huh.” The lazy demon turned back, stopped in surprise, then suddenly looked up, “Shu Mountain?”

“Yes, Shu Mountain.” Chu Liang nodded.

“Oh my god!” The demon let out a shriek, leaped up a meter high, darted back inside as if his life depended on it, all the while shouting, “King! King! It’s a disaster! A cultivator from Shu Mountain Sect has come looking for trouble! Meow!”

“Meow-“, “Hey!”, “Meow——”

Instantly, the cave dwelling filled with the sound of meowing, several monsters were startled awake from their sleep.

The sheer terror these minor demons had towards the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands was deeply etched in their bones.

Chu Liang stood politely at the entrance, and after a while, a tall and slender man with fluffy hair and an upright posture led a group of minor demons outside. He bore some resemblance to Lady Ming, likely to be her brother.

Behind him were around a dozen minor demons, most of them partially transformed, with cat heads and human bodies. Some hadn’t transformed at all, appearing like large cats – orange, white, or calico.

“I am the Demon King of this place, the Cat King.” The Demon King stared at Chu Liang, “What are you doing at my place in the middle of the night?”

“I apologize for intruding,” Chu Liang said, “I’m looking for Lady Ming of Xingzhou City, who was granted a seal by my sect, but she has recently disappeared. I was entrusted to find her.”

“What Lady Ming, Lady Dark, we don’t know anything!” Cat King replied in a bad tone.

“Well…” Chu Liang maintained his friendly tone, “In all honesty, my sect has a spell for tracking, and it indicates that she is here.”

“That may be your spell screwing up…” Cat King frowned, “I’m telling you, we’re good demons who don’t cause trouble, but if you’re here to start something in the middle of the night, I’m not afraid of you!”

“I did not come to start trouble, but if it’s not too much trouble… might I search inside?” Chu Liang asked politely.

“Absolutely not!” Cat King bluntly rejected.

Chu Liang smiled and said, “I see…”

…

“Save… save me… No, Young Hero, spare me!”

After a moment.

The Cat King, bound by the Demon Binding Rope in the classical Turtle Shell Binding, issued a desperate cry for help.

As a heroic monster that grew up in the wilderness, he didn’t think there was anything to fear from being captured or killed. To plead for mercy was beyond his wildest dreams!

But now, being bound in such a humiliating manner in front of his dozens of subordinates, he was scared to death!

If news of today’s events leaked out at all, he wouldn’t be able to show his face in the area anymore!

“So, I still have the same question, can I find Lady Ming?” Chu Liang still asked politely.

“Take the young hero to see my little sister quickly!” The Cat King roared.

The minor monsters around him, who had been cowering and didn’t dare to approach, immediately led Chu Liang into the cave, and into a stone chamber inside.

Chu Liang did not forget to pull the Cat King as he walked in.

When he pushed open the door, he saw Lady Ming also bound by ropes. Of course, the method was not as professional as the Demon Binding Rope, it was merely a crude restriction of movement.

“Young Hero Chu?” Upon seeing Chu Liang, Lady Ming’s eyes lit up.

“Ah!” The Cat King let out a heavy sigh.

“I heard from Landlord Ming that you were visiting your parents and elder brother, what’s going on?” Chu Liang asked as he ordered the little monsters to untie Lady Ming’s bonds.

“About that…” Lady Ming glanced at the Cat King, her eyes filled with sorrow.

“We were originally a small family of mountain cats living on this Eastern Mountain, never fighting with people, nor harming them, and living a carefree life.” Lady Ming started slowly. “But when I returned, I found that my parents had died, and my elder brother… had opened a cave and became the king of the mountain.”

“When I returned, I encountered the Demon King from another mountain visiting. The Tiger King saw me and insisted on marrying me…”

“I steadfastly refused, so my elder brother tied me up here.”

“Oh.” Chu Liang looked at the Cat King, “So you are that kind of elder brother.”

“I am not!” The Cat King roared angrily. “You all don’t understand anything!”

He turned to look at Lady Ming, “Didn’t I already tell you how our parents died? These past years have seen increasing numbers of foreign monsters, and the Eastern Mountain is only so big. We have to fight for territory and food, but we dare not go to the Human City Pool, so we can only prey on each other! They died in struggles with other demonic creatures.”

“Do you think I wanted to be the king of the mountain? I did it so that the Eastern Mountain Cat Clan could have a place to stand and I took in all the wandering cat clan, creating this cave!”

Reaching the saddest part of his story, the Cat King was choked up with tears, “When I first established my cave, there were only a dozen monsters and a few weapons…”

“All these years I’ve been working hard to survive here. It wasn’t until some time ago that I met the Tiger King of Hidden Forest Mountain. His cultivation base and power are far superior to mine, and he is willing to make friends with those of the same kind. I thought that if I could get along with him, then we wouldn’t have to fear other monsters encroaching on our territory in Eastern Mountain. That’s why I tried my best to befriend him and invited him to a banquet in my cave.”

“Who knew… who knew my little sister would choose this time to come back.”

“The Tiger King is extremely lecherous and was instantly attracted by my sister’s beauty. He immediately said that as long as my sister married him, he could protect our Eastern Mountain Cat Clan forever. If we refuse, then… then he might attack us!” The Cat King said helplessly.

“But didn’t you tell him your little sister is already married?” Chu Liang asked.

“Of course, I did!” The Cat King nodded heavily.

“What about him?” Chu Liang asked again.

You could hear the Cat King saying, “That just made him even more excited.”
