Chapter 20

“To think a little piece of trash dares to get in the way,” The Black Mountain Daoist said disdainfully as he looked at Huo Qingyun, who was pressed in the pit. His big hand once again reached out to grab Wang Luoli.

Wang Luoli looked at the Black Mountain Daoist’s big hand in despair.

“Luo Li,” Perfected Qing Yun shouted as well, his face filled with anxiety. He was on his way back, but it was too late.

“Be eaten by me. Hahahaha!” The Black Mountain Daoist laughed as he was about to catch Wang Luoli.

All of a sudden, he felt as if the back of his collar was being pulled by a large hand.

“What’s going on?” The Black Mountain Daoist was dumbfounded. He turned his head only to see a huge beast.

Seeing its huge mouth and sharp teeth, the Black Mountain Daoist did not doubt that the panda could swallow him whole!

“Run!” The first thing the Black Mountain Daoist did was to use his vital spirit to tear his clothes apart and break free from the panda’s restraint. He wanted to use his escape technique to escape, but the next moment, the panda slapped him to death.

“Run! This is a panda. We’re not its match!” Chu Kuangren’s rough voice rang out. the people from Qingyun Sect were not fools either, so they also started running.

The panda chased while the people of the Qingyun Sect and the Beast-taming Sect ran.

Along the way, the demonic beasts in the mountain forest all prostrated on the ground, and the birds scattered in fright.

The small courtyard was calm as ever.

Mu Jiuhuang was feeding the turtle, while Ye Fan was chopping wood seriously.

The current Ye Fan had a faint smile on his face, the hatred in his eyes had disappeared, and he was more like a mortal now.

However, every crack on the firewood he chopped out was perfectly straight, as if it had been measured beforehand. Even if one slid one’s hand down the edge of the chopped firewood, one wouldn’t find any thorns or cuts on one’s hand.

“I’ve finally reached the first stage of wood-chopping,” Ye Fan smiled faintly.

Mu Jiuhuang occasionally glanced at Ye Fan, and each time, she became more curious. In her eyes, Ye Fan seemed to have cultivation at times and was a mortal at other times with no cultivation at all.

She was greatly shocked.

One must know that she was now in the Greater Vehicle Realm, yet she was unable to see through Ye Fan’s current state.

The only thing she could be sure of was that the current Ye Fan was more like a normal person.

The aura of a celestial cultivator that he previously had seemed to have been washed away.

As for Xiao Changtian, he was walking Alpha, having a lot of fun.

He even strolled to the green mountain outside town. There, he found a stone slab where he carved some lines on with a rock, making a simple chessboard.

The man and dog started playing chess.

“Woof, woof, wuwu~” After more than ten rounds, Alpha was dejected once more.

“Don’t be so dejected. You can now play half a game against me. One day…” Xiao Changtian encouraged Alpha as he patted his head.

Alpha raised his head when he heard Xiao Changtian’s encouragement. His large dog eyes were filled with anticipation as he waited for the second half of Xiao Changtian’s sentence.

Xiao Changtian smiled faintly. He didn’t expect the dog given by the system to be so smart. He joked, “One day, you’ll be able to play for a little while longer against me.”

“Wuwuwu~,” Alpha thought that Xiao Changtian was encouraging him, but he didn’t expect Xiao Changtian to tease him instead. The puppy thus lowered his head and whimpered.

Xiao Changtian laughed out loud when he saw Alpha’s expression. It had been a long time since he had laughed so relaxedly.

“Woof, woof,” Suddenly, Alpha barked at the forest with a fierce look.

“Eh? What’s in the forest?” Xiao Changtian, who was laughing out loud, was also shocked.

A dog’s nose and senses were very sensitive. As an animal caretaker in his previous life, he knew this very well.

“Whoosh…” There seemed to be some small animal moving in the forest.

“Woof! Woof!” Alpha barked and ran into the forest at the speed of light.

After crossing the forest, a huge panda walked over.

“Roar!” The panda glared at Alpha and roared. To think a puppy dared to block its way? How bold!

The panda raised its huge paw, which was the size of a small mountain, and slammed down with terrifying power.

Meanwhile, Chu Kuangren’s divine will was locked onto the panda as he fled. He wanted to estimate the distance between them.

“Not good, where did this puppy come from? To think it’s blocking the way in front of the panda, isn’t it courting death?” Chu Kuangren was bewildered and helpless.

The Beast-taming Sect had always liked animals, but now, he couldn’t save the pup. After all, he couldn’t even take care of himself, let alone a puppy. However, with this time, they could run even further. He would strive to reach the small courtyard of that expert as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Chu Kuangren retracted his divine will and used his vital spirit to speed up his escape.

Bang!

The panda’s palm landed on the ground, creating a huge pit and stirring up dust.

However, it did not hurt Alpha!

Rather, there was not even dust around Alpha.

The panda’s movements were simply too slow for him!

The moment the panda’s palm landed, Alpha had already left his previous position.

Alpha stared at the panda before him. If it was an unpardonable human before him, he would have killed the other party long ago.

What a pity, it was a panda.

“Master should like a panda,” Alpha said indifferently.

He thought of subduing this panda to make his master happy.

“Roar!” Seeing that its attack had missed, the panda pounded its chest with both fists, and two fists the size of hills smashed down.

However, Alpha was unmoved. With a tap of its feet, the point turned into a line, and the line turned into a plane. A chessboard with crisscrossing lines instantly appeared!

Then, the panda was enveloped by the chessboard. Its two fists that were smashing down landed on the chessboard, but the chessboard remained unscathed.

The sky-devouring dog stood on the chessboard and a huge sky-devouring dog dharma appeared.

The huge sky-devouring dog dharma opened its mouth which was as huge as a black hole, ready to swallow the Sun and the Moon in the sky!

In front of the sky-devouring dog dharma, the panda’s size was nothing. It was like a mountain compared to the stars, simply insignificant.

“Woof!” The sky-devouring dog barked at the panda, its terrifying aura shocking the latter.

The panda raised its arms and looked at the sky-devouring dog in front of it. A bloodline pressure crushed it.

The panda’s body began to shrink until it was the size of a cub.

“Yinyinyin,” The panda shrunk back into a cub, and it was so scared that it whimpered while running into the forest.

Upon seeing this, Alpha retracted his sky-devouring dog dharma, then wagged his tail as he ran back to Xiao Changtian, using his head to rub against Xiao Changtian’s pants.

“Alpha, what’s wrong?” Seeing Alpha rubbing against his trousers, Xiao Changtian thought the puppy was playing with him.

However, Alpha looked into the forest again.

Xiao Changtian was stunned. Could it be that Alpha had found something good and was pointing it out to him?

“What is it?” Xiao Changtian stood up and walked towards the forest. Pulling apart the leaves and branches, he managed to pry open a small gap in the shrubbery in front.

“F*ck, a panda?” Xiao Changtian immediately saw a panda cub as tall as his calf. It was hiding in the grass, shivering.

As an animal caretaker in his previous life, he had also raised a panda before.

He used his hand to grab the back of the panda’s neck and lifted it, holding its fate in his hands.

Xiao Changtian was very clear that lifting a panda this way was the most energy-saving method. After all, if he hugged the panda, the panda would resist. But if one grabbed the panda by the back of its neck, the panda would then be under one’s control.

“Roar!” After being lifted by Xiao Changtian, the panda was about to let out a low roar.

“Woof, woof,” Alpha barked straight at the panda, and the latter instantly flinched and didn’t dare to growl anymore. It obediently allowed Xiao Changtian to carry it.

“This is really rare. I can’t believe I’m seeing a panda in the world of celestial cultivation,” Xiao Changtian carried the panda back and placed it on the green stone slab.

“This is great,” Xiao Changtian looked at the panda in front of him. It made him feel as if he had returned to his previous life. It was as if he had met an old friend in a foreign land.

“In the future, I’ll take care of you. You’ll be called Rongrong,” Xiao Changtian said with a smile, using his hand to caress Rongrong’s body, appeasing its mood.

Not far away, the people from the Qingyun Sect and Beast-taming Sect were originally running in a hurry, but after some time, they suddenly realized that no creature was chasing them.

“The panda isn’t chasing us anymore, so what are you guys running for?” A disciple at the back of the line asked.

“It’s not chasing us anymore? I don’t know either. I’m just following the person in front,” The person in front answered.

The crowd finally stopped.

Perfected Qing Yun and Chu Kuangren stopped in their tracks and looked at each other. They nodded and went back the way they came. They wanted to find out what had happened. After all, the panda wouldn’t give up on them for no reason.

Chu Kuangren also wanted to go back and bury the dog’s body.

Hence, the people from the two sects slowly walked back the way they came from.

Following this, the tens of thousands of people present all gasped.

They actually saw the panda that had been chasing after tens of thousands of people being held by Xiao Changtian. Yet, it didn’t even dare to make a sound.

“Hurry up and leave, don’t disturb the senior’s peace,” Perfected Qing Yun said in a low voice and used his vital spirit to send the message to all disciples, asking them to leave.

Previously, he had thought that the senior who had given him a calligraphy piece with sword intent was a Greater Vehicle Realm expert. Even back then, he was already highly shocked.

However, at this moment, he felt ignorant. He was like a frog at the bottom of a well who was shocked when he suddenly came out of the well and saw the vast sky.

Everything he thought of was wrong!

At this moment, he finally realized how insignificant he was!

To think the senior could even play with the panda as he pleased! How could he merely be a Greater Vehicle Realm expert?! The senior was probably even more powerful than the Greater Vehicle Realm!

In fact, he might even be a legendary Ancient Emperor!
