Chapter 397: Red Cat Pulls the Wool Over Wind Spirit Tiger's Eyes, Astonishing the Lord of Lingzun Sect

"Who are you?"

Meng Chong stood tall, a golden light radiating from his body as he held a knife in his hand, resembling a celestial deity.

The four assailants remained silent, each approaching from a different direction, their coordinated attack leaving Meng Chong with no choice but to face them head-on, with no room to evade.

Boom!

Meng Chong unleashed the Great Sun Immolating God, surrounding himself with wind and thunder, instantly transforming into an eighteen-foot-tall giant. The long knife in his hand also grew in size, becoming a massive blade.

Boom!

With the Mountain-Blade Intent, rocks and stones transformed into blades that swept towards the four assailants from all directions.

Meng Chong, resembling a celestial deity in his golden armor and surging divine waves, faced the four assailants, all of whom were at the peak of the True King Heaven Venerable realm and possessed considerable strength.

"So, you are the Celestial Being Meng Chong!" one of them sneered.

"Kill him!"

Frenzied attacks rained down on Meng Chong from all sides, sealing off his escape routes and leaving him no opportunity to flee.

Boom!

The powerful assaults slammed into Meng Chong, causing the divine waves to ripple, dissipating the terrifying force. Within the waves, a layer of golden armor provided additional protection.

Although the attacks caused Meng Chong's body to sway, he remained unharmed.

"Let's see how you plan to kill me!" Meng Chong declared.

With his left hand, he plucked the Great Sun Immolating God and held it in his hand, resembling a grasp of the sun itself as he charged towards one of the assailants.

In that instant, he unleashed all his divine abilities, seizing the assailant in front of him and unleashing a frenzied assault, while enduring the attacks from the other three with his impenetrable defense of the Boundless Divine Waves.

Although each strike caused his body to shake and the divine waves to tremble as if they could collapse at any moment, he persevered and withstood the onslaught.

Facing Meng Chong's ferocious assault, the assailant fell into disarray, unable to mount a proper defense.

Despite being a True King Heaven Venerable, the assailant panicked as Meng Chong closed in, seemingly intent on engaging in close-quarters combat. The relentless ferocity of Meng Chong's attack left him flustered and unable to react.

His instincts warned him that if Meng Chong got too close, entering the stage of melee combat, he would undoubtedly perish, even though he was at the peak of the True King Heaven Venerable realm.

However, to prevent Meng Chong from seizing the opportunity to escape, he couldn't create too much distance, which left him in a passive position.

The other three assailants also wore grim expressions. Meng Chong's formidable defense and robust physical body far exceeded their expectations.

Boom!

The other three assailants went berserk, unleashing terrifying attacks that seemed to plunge into the waves, only to have their power dissipated by the undulating currents.

Each strike caused Meng Chong's body to sway and stumble, but they couldn't inflict any injuries.

Boom!

Meng Chong, holding the sun in his hand and swirling with wind and thunder, truly resembled a celestial deity in that moment. He suddenly lunged forward, his giant-like body reverting to its true size.

Caught off guard by this sudden change, the assailant defending against Meng Chong's attack was unprepared for his abrupt approach.

"Not good!" The assailant's heart raced as he hastily backed away.

Boom!

Nevertheless, Meng Chong's fist, glowing like a sun, grazed the assailant's arm, causing a crisp crack as the bones shattered.

Just as Meng Chong was about to press his advantage, his expression changed slightly as a slender, icy blade flew towards him.

A fifth assailant, wearing a sinister mask engraved with five leaves, suddenly appeared, brandishing a thin, sharp blade.

Puff!

The slender, icy blade pierced through the divine waves, and despite the fact that half of its force was negated by the Boundless Divine Waves, it continued to penetrate.

Puff!

The blade also punctured a tiny hole in the golden armor within the divine waves, causing Meng Chong to feel a slight pain in his shoulder.

Injured!

Boom!

Meng Chong hurled the Great Sun Immolating God, causing it to explode in a dazzling display of violent light that forced the masked assailant to retreat.

"I'll remember you!" Meng Chong coldly snarled, taking a step forward and vanishing into the horizon like a blazing sun.

The assailant with the five-leaf mask, who had made the final move, possessed strength beyond that of an ordinary True King Heaven Venerable. Meng Chong sensed the threat this individual posed.

The slender blade's ability to penetrate defenses was remarkable, as it had managed to pierce through his Boundless Divine Waves and inflict a minor injury.

Although this injury was insignificant, it served as a warning to Meng Chong that continuing the fight could be dangerous, as he had no idea how many more opponents they might bring.

Thus, he decided to retreat.

"Pursue him!"

The assailant with the sinister five-leaf mask took the lead in the pursuit, brandishing the slender blade. However, Meng Chong was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had vanished into the distance, leaving only a fleeting glimmer of light.

"What do we do now that Meng Chong has escaped?" one of the assailants asked.

"He's indeed the Celestial Being Meng Chong, too powerful. His physical strength is comparable to a divine artifact," another replied, impressed.

"The stronger and more monstrous he is, the better. The more powerful he is, the greater the chaos his death will cause," a third assailant added.

"Makes sense!"

The members of Tian Sha Di Ying couldn't help but admire Meng Chong's prowess.

"Continue pursuing Meng Chong by any means necessary. I only need him dead!" The assailant with the five-leaf mask ordered coldly.

"Yes, Master!"

The members of Tian Sha Di Ying dispersed, tracking Meng Chong's trail and plotting their next move. Since they couldn't breach his defenses in direct combat, they would have to resort to underhanded tactics.

As Meng Chong entered the Jiushan Realm, he found himself confronted by assassins, forcing him to flee with his injuries. Meanwhile, in the Lingzun Mountain region, a tiger, a dragon, and a toad traveled through the forests—Yuxiao Long, Xia Ha, and Chi Cat.

"Big Brother, what should we do now?" Yuxiao Long asked, turning to Chi Cat.

"We now know everything that Feng Yan Lao told us about Lingzun Mountain. It's the Sacred Beast Mountain, and the Sacred Beast King, Wind Spirit Tiger, is far more powerful than Feng Yan Lao," Chi Cat replied.

"For now, let's put the matter of the demon race aside. I, Chi Cat, am adaptable. Since our strength is currently inferior, it's best to lay low.

"The Wind Spirit Tiger is a powerful tiger clan expert. We're here to pay our respects to this tiger clan elder, so stay sharp."

Chi Cat continued walking as he spoke, and the others nodded in agreement.

The success of their mission, the acquisition of Wind Spirit Tiger's trust, the eventual control of Lingzun Mountain, the founding of the demon race, and the ascension to the throne of the Demon King all depended on Chi Cat's planning and execution.

On Lingzun Mountain, a tiger's roar reverberated through the air, and a majestic, multicolored tiger strode proudly across the land.

Soon, the tiger's presence stirred the sacred beasts of Lingzun Mountain, who gazed at the newcomers—Chi Cat and his companions—with bewildered expressions.

With his indestructible three-inch-long shackle, Chi Cat quickly won over the sacred beasts and gained a significant standing among them.

He also learned more about Wind Spirit Tiger from these beasts and discovered that due to Wind Spirit Tiger's high status, few dared to approach him.

Ironically, Wind Spirit Tiger seemed to be a sacred beast king who relished flattery, and upon learning this, Chi Cat immediately devised a plan.

He began by addressing Wind Spirit Tiger as a member of the tiger clan...

Within a matter of days, Chi Cat had ingratiated himself with the sacred beasts of Lingzun Mountain and made his way to the ancient forest, where he met Wind Spirit Tiger.

Wind Spirit Tiger, lying on the ground, stared at Chi Cat with a bewildered expression, sensing that something was amiss with this member of his own clan.

The red cat stood up, exuding a formidable aura as he strode forward. A large gold chain hung around his neck, and a precious sword was strapped to his waist. Following closely behind him were a jade dragon and a toad, carrying a massive golden chair.

This spectacle left the Wind Spirit Tiger completely bewildered.

Especially by the red cat, who walked on his hind legs with a proud and majestic demeanor, the sword at his waist enhancing his fierce appearance.

"Red Cat, it's an honor to meet you, Tiger Clan's mighty Wind Spirit Brother!" The red cat bowed with his front paws clasped.

Wind Spirit Tiger remained stunned, and subconsciously stood up. "What did you call me?"

"I address you as my mighty Tiger Clan brother, Wind Spirit!" the red cat said, as Xiao Ha and Yu Xiao Long quickly set down the chair.

"Please take a seat, Wind Spirit Brother!" Red Cat solemnly invited.

Before setting out to deceive Wind Spirit Tiger, Red Cat had learned that there were only three tigers on Lingzun Mountain, including Wind Spirit Tiger himself.

In Red Cat's opinion, the other two tigers were easily manipulated simpletons.

And because of this, Wind Spirit Tiger, as the king of spirit beasts, would not casually discipline him.

After all, tigers were scarce. Killing one would mean one less.

This was also why Red Cat dared to take such an audacious action today.

As a cultured tiger, Red Cat was confident that while his current strength might not match Wind Spirit Tiger's, his intelligence far surpassed the tiger king's.

"Wind Spirit Brother, your majestic and unparalleled demeanor demands that you sit upon this throne to truly showcase the might of a tiger king and your overwhelming divinity..."

Red Cat continued to flatter Wind Spirit Tiger, who gradually went from bewilderment to feeling utterly elated.

"Indeed, you speak the truth!"

The more he listened, the more Wind Spirit Tiger felt that this younger tiger was making perfect sense.

How could he, with his majestic and unparalleled demeanor, lie on the ground?

Wouldn't that diminish the prestige of the tiger clan's mighty power?

Wind Spirit Tiger was in high spirits. He walked over to the golden chair, shrunk his body, and sat on it, his tail swishing.

Seeing this, Red Cat secretly thought, "As expected, Wind Spirit Tiger isn't the brightest. What's the difference between sitting and lying down?"

"Wind Spirit Brother, lying down doesn't showcase your divinity. You should be sitting..." Red Cat walked forward and instructed Wind Spirit Tiger on how to properly sit on the throne.

"Behold this magnificent gold chain, adorned with thirty-six sparkling gems. Wearing it will enhance your noble aura..."

"And this is the Tiger Might Scepter, a symbol of our tiger clan's mighty power..."

Finally, Wind Spirit Tiger had the gold chain with its thirty-six glittering gems draped around his neck, exuding the aura of a nouveau riche.

He held a tiger-headed golden scepter in one of his tiger claws, leaning on it as he sat on the throne.

At this moment, Wind Spirit Tiger sat proudly on the throne, the gold chain around his neck, and the tiger-headed scepter in his paw, exuding a formidable aura.

"Brother, don't you think this showcases the might of our tiger clan's divinity?" Red Cat gestured with his paw, and Xiao Ha and Yu Xiao Long brought over a large mirror and placed it in front of Wind Spirit Tiger.

Wind Spirit Tiger took a look and was thrilled.

"Good, good, good! This is how I should showcase my divine might!"

"Brother Wind Spirit, I feel that the spirit beasts of Lingzun Mountain are too lax and fail to showcase your tiger king's authority. They must be trained and disciplined!" Red Cat seized the opportunity to suggest.

"You're right. Leave this matter to you, younger brother," Wind Spirit Tiger agreed.

"Brother Wind Spirit, rest assured, I will handle it perfectly!" Red Cat assured him, patting his chest.

Subsequently, Red Cat selected four presentable spirit beasts on Lingzun Mountain to be responsible for carrying the throne, with Wind Spirit Tiger seated upon it, and paraded him around Lingzun Mountain.

Wherever they went, the spirit beasts bowed and hailed: "We humbly welcome the arrival of the majestic and unparalleled Wind Spirit Great King, whose divine might is unmatched!"

Wind Spirit Tiger was overjoyed and felt that he had been living his life in vain before. This was what it meant to be the king of spirit beasts, the treatment he deserved.

"Red Cat, younger brother, you truly understand how to showcase the might of our tiger clan!" Wind Spirit Tiger praised.

"Nonsense, it's all thanks to your overwhelming divinity. Without your greatness and unparalleled might, how could we achieve such a majestic presence?" Red Cat flattered further.

"Good, good, good!" Wind Spirit Tiger was delighted and immediately announced, "From this day forward, Red Cat shall be the second king of Lingzun Mountain, second only to me, Wind Spirit Tiger. All of you must heed Red Cat's commands..."

Red Cat had successfully established himself on Lingzun Mountain, ruling over all the spirit beasts except Wind Spirit Tiger.

The immortal celestial beings of the Lingzun Sect were bewildered by this turn of events.

What had happened to Wind Spirit Tiger? He seemed like a completely different tiger.

The sect leader of the Lingzun Sect arrived at the ancient forest and saw Wind Spirit Tiger sitting on a golden throne, his neck adorned with a gold chain, the gems sparkling with radiance, and a tiger-headed scepter in his paw. The sect leader rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was seeing things.

Hadn't this tiger always been lying on the ground? How was he now sitting on a chair like a human?

"Tea for the sect leader!" Wind Spirit Tiger lifted his paw, and immediately, a spirit beast brought over a table, while another skillfully prepared tea.

"Sect leader, please sit!" Wind Spirit Tiger gestured to the chair.

The sect leader of the Lingzun Sect was dumbfounded. Had Wind Spirit Tiger lost his mind?

"Wind Spirit Tiger..."

"Hmm? Sect leader, you should address me as Wind Spirit Grand Elder or Wind Spirit King. Don't show such disregard for etiquette.

"You are the sect leader of the Lingzun Sect, representing the face of our mountain. How can you be ignorant of proper decorum and bring shame to Lingzun Mountain?

"Sect leader, don't blame me for lecturing you. I only have the best interests of Lingzun Mountain at heart. Red Cat, younger brother, give the sect leader a copy of the etiquette handbook..."

Damn! The sect leader's facial muscles twitched as he looked at the small booklet that was handed to him. He felt completely lost.

He had just been reprimanded by a spirit beast for lacking etiquette!

"Wind Spirit... Elder, what is the meaning of this?" The sect leader couldn't bear to stay any longer, feeling that Wind Spirit Tiger might have some mental issues.

"This is how it should be, sect leader. As the strongest in the Lingzun Mountain, it is my duty to set an example for the younger generation, to teach them about etiquette and honor. This is Yu Xiao Long, my younger brother, who oversees the affairs of the spirit beasts. If you have any matters, you may refer them to him.

"When you see Yu Xiao Long, it is as if you see me. I hope you understand..." Wind Spirit Tiger explained, gesturing to the spotted tiger standing upright, the gold chain around his neck, and the sword at his waist.

The sect leader's jaw dropped as he looked at the tiger.

Damn! He suspected that Wind Spirit Tiger's transformation had something to do with this spotted tiger!

"I understand!" The sect leader couldn't take it anymore and left after some perfunctory remarks.

Wind Spirit Tiger's speech had become more refined and less vulgar, and the sect leader found himself unable to adapt to this sudden change!
