Chapter 1051: Hu Lou - The White Tiger
Chapter 1051: Hu Lou - The White Tiger
"Unfortunately, these upper realms will still not be safe and peaceful, especially since there are still so many heretics lurking here, husband." Tang Chen looked at Yue Mengyi in confusion, so she immediately explained to him some of the events that happened after he ascended to the supreme realm, including the arrival of the demons from the Netherworld Realm.
Long Tianhuo corroborated Yue Mengyi's story by telling Tang Chen about the stories he got from Zhou Yu and Ling Xi, including about Vadin's relationship with Gu Tianchong and Hundun, as well as his past actions against the previous demon emperor and his followers.
Long Tianhuo also told Tang Chen about Jing Shen's actions against the previous spirit emperor, as well as Hundun and his three brothers' actions in sending him and the previous demon emperor to the desolate abyss domain. Not only those problems, but he also told him about all the realms that had fallen into their hands, so they still had a lot of troops to stop.
After hearing all that, Tang Chen frowned, realizing that the situation in the upper realms was far more complex than he had previously anticipated.
Since Vadin and the other cultivators who had joined them were too strong, he decided to postpone his plan to bring his wife and clan members to the supreme realm, and Yue Mengyi didn't mind that, especially since she still didn't feel ready to go there.
Feng Huang suddenly felt something unusual from deep within her soul, so she immediately informed Long Tianhuo about it. "Husband, the Golden Dragon King has completed his seclusion, and he summoned all the mythical beasts in these upper realms to come to him, so I think we must postpone our plan to go to the hideout of those three evil mythical beasts to go meet him first."
Tang Chen and Yue Mengyi looked surprised to hear that, especially since they had heard that the Golden Dragon King would only come out of hiding when the second beast war was about to erupt. Since he was almost out of his seclusion, the war would happen soon, and if that happened, the situation in the upper realms would become chaotic.
Unlike them, Long Tianhuo did not seem worried about the appearance of the Golden Dragon King, and he was actually eager to meet him, especially since he himself was a flame dragon.
"Show me the direction, wife." Feng Huang nodded before extending his hand forward, causing an ice phoenix to immediately appear in front of them. It immediately flew quickly in another direction, so Long Tianhuo flew the flying artifact in that direction to follow it.
"If I remember correctly, the Golden Dragon King's cultivation had already been broken through to the Three Immortal Realms at that time, right? He did suffer injuries from Hundun and his three brothers' attacks back then, but thousands of years have passed, and he should have recovered completely now."
"Yes." Feng Huang then reminded Long Tianhuo. "Husband, your cultivation is in the Immortal Emperor, but the Golden Dragon King is no less special than the Spirit Emperor, and his bloodline is also several levels higher than yours, so you should not look for trouble with him."
"Hahha!" Long Tianhuo laughed before reassuring Feng Huang. "You don't have to worry, okay? I've lived too long, and I've experienced many things, so I'm not as hot-headed as I was when I was young. Naturally, I realize that the Golden Dragon King's bloodline is higher than mine, so I won't look for trouble with him.
Even so, I still want to spar with him, and I will ask him to do so after we take care of those evil mythical beasts and their followers."
*Tap.*
Tang Chen suddenly patted Long Tianhuo's shoulder. "In fact, I also want to spar with you, Brother Long. I am fully aware that you are stronger than me, but I still want to do it so I can find out my weaknesses and improve them."
"Hahaha!" Long Tianhuo laughed once before putting his arm around Tang Chen's shoulder. "I know you are not ordinary cultivators, and I will never underestimate you. For now, you just need to focus on settling all your affairs in these upper realms, and we will spar every day after you bring them to my realm."
Their words made Feng Huang and Yue Mengyi sigh helplessly, especially since their husbands were always like that, and they loved fighting opponents who were stronger than them.

In a forest in the Holy Land of Sword, a huge rock suddenly moved and rose from the ground. However, a beast came out from under the rock, and it was none other than one of the virtue mythical beasts, the white tiger, Hu Lou. "Hahaha! The Golden Dragon King has come out of his seclusion and summoned all of us to face him!
Thousands of years have passed since the first beast war ended, which ended with our defeat. Our king has fully recovered, so it's time for us to take revenge on those four evil mythical beasts, and we will destroy them just like they destroyed our races."
Hu Lou suddenly frowned and looked up at the two people who had just arrived. "Why did you two come here, humans?"
"My name is Jian Xian, and this old man is Yun Liang." After she introduced their identities to Hu Lou, Jian Xiang then spoke to him. "A few months ago, an old friend informed me that one of the four virtue mythical beasts was hiding in this realm. The two of us have been searching for you for a long time, but we have been unable to locate you anywhere."
"Humph!" Hu Lou snorted at them. "Even though the two of you are stronger than me, you guys don't have the ability to find me. Moreover, I came and hid in this realm only to look for someone, and I didn't cause any trouble here, so you two don't need to look for me. Unfortunately, that person is not here, so I kept waiting just in case he came here."
"We already know that you came to this realm to wait for someone." Hu Lou raised his eyebrows at Jian Xian. "In fact, the person you were waiting for already appeared a long time ago, and our disciples have a connection with him. That's why we looked for you to tell you about him, but you hid yourself so well that we couldn't find you with our high cultivation."
"Are you serious about that? Do you know his identity? Where does he live now?" Hu Lou asked in a high voice of surprise.
As soon as they landed in front of Hu Lou, Jian Xian touched his forehead and proceeded to share some of her memories, which surprised him. "The man's name is Ling Yun, and he is the person you have been waiting for all these years. He lives in the Sky Cloud Realm, but he should be in the mysterious realm now."
"Mysterious realm?" Hu Lou immediately searched his memories for that place. "Is he trying to challenge the tower?"
"Yes." Jian Xian nodded at Hu Lou. "If you want to meet Ling Yun, you can go to the mysterious realm, and you will be a great aid to him."
However, Hu Lou suddenly frowned, and his expression looked like he couldn't believe them. "If Ling Yun is that person, and he lives in the Sky Cloud Realm, then why didn't Ye Xixuan inform me of his whereabouts in that realm? She herself lives in that realm, so she should have detected his presence long ago, and she should have informed me.
Moreover, Wu Gui lives in the Star Cloud Realm, so he should also be able to detect his presence, especially since the two realms are so close together."
"You don't know anything about Ling Yun, so you doubt my words. However, I've told you the truth, and he is indeed the person you've been waiting for all this time." Hu Lou continued to doubt Jian Xiang. "Honestly, I've never met him before, so I don't know him.
However, there are a few people close to me on his side, and they probably didn't tell you about him because of the existence of the three spirit women by his side."
"Three spirit women?" Hu Lou seemed surprised by that, especially since not all living creatures could befriend members of the spirit race.
Jian Xiang nodded at Hu Lou. "Yanyan and my disciple have told me a lot of things about Ling Yun, so I understand more or less about him. The first is Luxuria, the spirit of lust. The second is Zhou Yu, the spirit of the void. The last is Lei Lin, the spirit of lightning. Since the three are his wives, you shouldn't doubt him, right?
Anyway, I also have information about those two of your friends, and they went with him to the mysterious tower, so they should be by his side now."
Hu Lou was left dumbfounded after Jian Xiang said all that, but he still didn't fully believe her, so he tried to contact Ye Xixuan and Wu Gui to ask them about Ling Yun. Since both of them were in the mysterious tower, he naturally couldn't contact them, making it even more difficult for him to trust her.
"Unfortunately, I can't go to that realm now, especially since I got the call to come back, so I'll leave right now to return to my original place."
Without waiting for their reply, Hu Lou immediately flew away from the Holy Land of Sword, making Jian Xian sigh heavily.
However, Yun Liang immediately spoke to Jian Xian. "Mythical beasts have suffered a lot because of the first beast war, so it is natural that White Tiger has a hard time believing us. However, he will definitely know the truth soon, so you don't have to think about him. Instead, I think about something else, and it is related to the second beast war."
"The second beast war?" Jian Xian turned to Yun Liang, who immediately nodded at her. "Before the Golden Dragon King took them into hiding, he stated that the reemergence of the four virtue mystical beasts would trigger the second beast war. We just met the white tiger, and the black tortoise was with Ling Yun, so only the vermilion bird and the azure dragon left."
"If my guess is correct, that white tiger decided to return because the Golden Dragon King summoned him to do so. Perhaps he has already emerged from his seclusion, while the other two virtue mythical beasts have made their appearance in another realm." Jian Xian frowned at Yun Liang.
"If that really happens, then the second beast war is just around the corner, and there will be a great battle in all corners of the upper realms. That's why we should meet with the others to prepare ourselves, so that we can prevent the war between those beasts from affecting our realm."
Without thinking twice, Jian Xian immediately flew away from that place. "Let's go! We'll meet them right now."
