"Not bad, so you still remember your Lord Tiger." Seeing that
Of course he remembered. How could Chu Feng forget? Back in Sunset Valley, it was this lecherous old cat that had tampered with
"This forbidden land containing the Bamboo Scroll of Sealing Gods — its sudden, unexplained appearance was your doing?" Chu Feng asked.
"Heh heh, of course it was your Lord Tiger's doing. If your Lord Tiger hadn't stepped in, who else in this Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm could have found this place that hides the Bamboo Scroll of Sealing Gods? Though the original owner of this place was truly no ordinary person — even with your Lord Tiger intervening, it still took a full two years to make this place manifest. What a waste of my time." The old cat paused, then continued with a grin. "But thankfully, Heaven does not forsake a determined cat. Your Lord Tiger finally succeeded. But honestly, being able to obtain the Bamboo Scroll of Sealing Gods so smoothly — I have you to thank for that."
As it spoke, the old cat cast its lecherous gaze toward the Bamboo Scroll of Sealing Gods in Chu Feng's hand.
Seeing this, Chu Feng immediately clenched his fist, gripping the Bamboo Scroll of Sealing Gods tightly. He didn't care whether this place had been conjured up by the old cat or not — but the Bamboo Scroll of Sealing Gods was something he had promised to True Immortal Jinhe. Naturally, he did not want it to fall into the old cat's hands.
"You—"
But in the very next instant, Chu Feng's expression changed. His tightly clenched fist opened against his will, and he could only watch helplessly as the Bamboo Scroll of Sealing Gods floated from his palm and settled into the old cat's grasp.
In that moment, Chu Feng felt the vast gulf between himself and the old cat with bone-deep clarity. Before this creature, let alone fighting back, even his own body no longer belonged to him. The old cat could control him with a mere thought.
"Kid, don't take things that don't belong to you. This thing will bring about your utter destruction. So it's much safer here with your Lord Tiger." The old cat held the Bamboo Scroll of Sealing Gods and said with a beaming smile.
"That's robbery," Chu Feng said, his voice thick with fury.
"Robbery it is. What are you going to do about it?" The old cat let out a mocking laugh, then added, "If you can't accept it, you're welcome to come find me in the future — I just doubt a brat like you has the ability." With those words, the old cat closed its palm, and the Bamboo Scroll of Sealing Gods vanished.
Though he had no idea where the scroll had gone, Chu Feng was certain it had been stowed away by the old cat.
"Kid, your Lord Tiger is leaving this godforsaken place. Until we meet again — which won't be anytime soon."
With that, the old cat turned around, waved at Chu Feng, and strode into the blood mist while pulling the chain in its hand.
"Where are you taking her?" Chu Feng called out.
He knew all too well that the old cat was an insurmountable mountain to him in his current state. There was absolutely no hope of snatching the Bamboo Scroll of Sealing Gods back by force. So instead, Chu Feng turned his gaze to
"You mean this little one? She's an
"Original Spirit World spirit form?" Chu Feng was astonished. He didn't know about Xue Ji's current state, but the Xue Ji he had known before was definitely in evil spirit form. In other words, Xue Ji had somehow managed to transform from an evil spirit back into a normal Spirit World spirit.
