Shu Jianyue immediately took off running in that direction, having completely forgotten about Chaotian’s true identity.
As a Super Divine Beast, his Bloodline Pressure alone was enough to suppress all the Silver Moon Direwolves present.
Sword Kinesis was impossible here, and traveling by Escape Light was out of the question as well. She could only sprint on foot all the way toward where they were.
Chaotian would never leave Fuchenshan without good reason; that little brat Yuchuan must have dragged him out, as this was hardly the first time.
While sprinting at full speed, Shu Jianyue kept a close eye on the movements over there. Seeing the Silver Moon Direwolf standing at the very front begin to move, she immediately condensed her mental power into a needle and pierced through its brain domain.
Looking at the Silver Moon Direwolf that had suddenly collapsed before him, Chaotian was momentarily stunned before quickly realizing what had happened. “Little Master, Master has come in as well.”
“Mom…” Chaotian waved toward the direction Shu Jianyue was coming from.
“Little Master, you’d better think carefully about how to keep Master from punishing you,” Chaotian said, glancing at the pack of wolves. With a single sweeping gaze, every Silver Moon Direwolf prostrated themselves on the ground, their eyes filled with dread.
Yuchuan slapped Chaotian’s chest with a palm, nearly knocking the wind out of him.
“Chaotian bad… Mom loves Yu’er.”
Chaotian lowered his gaze to cast him an exasperated glance. Yes, Master doted on him, but when it came to punishment, she meant business.
Sensing this scene with her mental power, Shu Jianyue finally remembered that Chaotian was a Super Divine Beast, and she slowed her pace.
By the time she arrived, Yuchuan was riding proudly on the back of a Silver Moon Direwolf, shouting triumphantly.
Seeing Shu Jianyue arrive, Yuchuan tried to jump down. “Mom…”
The sight gave Chaotian such a fright that he nearly reverted to his true form to catch him.
With just a single glare from Shu Jianyue, Yuchuan froze stiffly on the wolf’s back. “Mom…”
“Acting cute won’t work. Once we get out, you’re sleeping in the west room by yourself.”
As if he had suffered the greatest grievance in the world, Yuchuan’s eyes began to redden.
Shu Jianyue stepped forward and scooped him up into her arms. “Go inside and reflect on your actions properly. Otherwise, no one’s pleas will save you.”
She had given birth to him and raised him, so naturally she knew which punishment was most effective.
Pouting, Yuchuan nodded.
Shu Jianyue sent him into the space, then looked at Chaotian and said, “Let’s go. We’ll find the Wolf King to ask about the situation here.”
With that, she darted toward the mountain range on the other side. She had already located the Wolf King upon her arrival.
That Wolf King seemed to possess respectable mental power as well; sensing her approach, she immediately summoned back quite a few wolves from the pack.
For a female wolf to become the Wolf King, her own strength was clearly extraordinary, already at the Yuanying Stage.
Yet right now, she was calling her companions back rather than coming forward to confront them herself.
Either she was at a critical juncture, or she wished to contend with Chaotian.
Seeing that she was deliberately trying to hide her abdomen, Shu Jianyue understood a bit more. “You can’t defeat me, and I have no desire to kill you.” With that, her eyes dropped to the Wolf King’s belly.
The Wolf King, Linglong, transformed into human form and walked over, eyeing Chaotian warily. “With my cultivation, I wouldn’t be able to defeat you, a mere Jindan Period?”
“If not for this Shenzun being here, you wouldn’t even have had the chance to approach me.”
Looking at the glamorous, enchanting pregnant woman before her, whose waist remained remarkably narrow, Shu Jianyue’s eyelids could not help but twitch. “Then you’re welcome to try. Even if he doesn’t intervene, you’re still no match for me.”
“The question is, I can afford to gamble—can you?”
Linglong subconsciously raised a hand to shield her belly, her cat-like eyes glaring fiercely at her.
“No outsider has ever entered this Fengjing before. Why would it suck you in for no reason?” Her expression remained intensely guarded.
Shu Jianyue acted as if she did not notice her wariness; if one could enter this place, there had to be a way out.
“How should we know? Do you know how to leave this realm?”
Linglong was about to roll her eyes, but catching Chaotian’s warning glare, she forced herself to hold back. “If I knew, would I still be trapped in this Fengjing?”
Chaotian asked in a cold voice, “Are there any places here that you cannot approach?”
“Or perhaps, are there any strange places?”
Linglong pointed toward a distant peak that soared straight into the clouds. “That mountain is called Mount Wushen. None of the Lingshou in this Fengjing can approach it, as if blocked by a barrier.”
“As for strange places, there aren’t any, but this Fengjing is filled entirely with Lingshou. The highest-ranking one is the Bear King on Mount Zhaoye, who is at the Yuanying Stage.”
Shu Jianyue scratched her chin as she looked at that mountain. “Chaotian, I’m going to probe Mount Wushen. Keep watch.”
“Yes.” Chaotian immediately stepped behind her and took his position.
This single action caused Linglong’s eyes to widen in shock.
He was a Super Divine Beast, after all; how could he be so obedient to a mere human?
Of course, she did not dare ask aloud, fearing that doing so might cost both her life and her unborn child’s.
Shu Jianyue extended her mental power to the foot of the mountain and gradually stretched it upward. When she probed near the cave entrance halfway up the mountain, a wave of scorching heat nearly burned her mental power.
Doing her best to compress her mental power into a column, she slowly probed into the cavern, winding through eighteen twists and turns deep into the cave before finally catching sight of what lay inside.
A cluster of red-and-black flame floated atop a stalagmite. As if sensing Shu Jianyue’s presence, it danced with great vigor.
The very next instant, as though it had sensed some sort of danger, it shrank back into the stalagmite in a flash.
A moment later, a golden-red boa enveloped in flames darted in through the cave entrance, appearing on the verge of transforming into a jiaolong at any second.
“Hiss…” The boa coiled itself around the stalagmite, glaring straight at the location of Shu Jianyue’s mental power with feral eyes, as though it could actually see her.
Shu Jianyue gradually withdrew her mental power and probed toward other areas. She tried to probe past that mountain toward what lay behind it, only to find that she could not extend it any further.
She simply assumed that to be the boundary of this realm.
Having no choice but to give up, Shu Jianyue probed in other directions. Scattering her mental power, she opened her eyes and looked at Linglong, who had been waiting beside them all along. “Are you certain the most powerful one here is the Bear King?”
That boa looked as though it was on the verge of breaking through to the Mahayana Stage. Once it successfully reached the Mahayana Stage, it would be able to transform into a jiaolong.
The Wolf King nodded with certainty. “Indeed. I rank second.”
Shu Jianyue frowned. “Do you know that there is a boa inside Mount Wushen? It is close to transforming into a jiaolong.”
Linglong sucked in a breath of cold air and shook her head repeatedly. “I have no idea. None of us can enter that mountain, so how could we possibly know?”
“In all this time, I’ve never heard anyone mention its existence.”
“This…” Glancing at Chaotian, she continued, “Miss, are you certain there is a boa on that mountain?”
Shu Jianyue raised an eyebrow and nodded. “Certain.”
Thinking of that flame, Shu Jianyue took out a book introducing various flames that she had traded from the Hunyuan Xianzong. After flipping through several pages, she finally found it.
Chiyou Realm Fire, a Divine Grade Flame, ranked fifth among the Shenhuo.
Because the yin and yang intersected within it, it was also known as the Yin-Yang Divine Fire. Although ranked fifth, it possessed power that rivaled even the first-ranked Chaos Divine Fire.
Shu Jianyue scratched her chin. If she could subdue it, wouldn’t she be able to use that Tuntian Ding?
Difficulties were meant to be overcome.
Now, how should she deal with that boa?
Just now, merely lingering with her mental power had been enough for it to detect her, which proved that its own mental power was not weak either.
