"That Dragon-level Spirit World Master has a companion too."
"That cat demon... why does it look so familiar?"
Xianhai Shaoyu sighed in secret, only Chu Feng and Xiao Yu'er able to hear him.
"Brother, do you know that perverted cat?"
Xianhai Xiao Yu'er asked secretly.
"I don't know it. Never seen it before. But it feels... familiar somehow." Xianhai Shaoyu murmured thoughtfully, then suddenly it hit him. He turned to Chu Feng. "Chu Feng, is this the cat you know?"
"It is," Chu Feng said.
"Who?" Xiao Yu'er asked curiously.
"The Deification Bamboo Scroll."
The moment Chu Feng spoke those four words, Xiao Yu'er's eyes went wide with understanding. She looked back at the old cat, her gaze brimming with fury.
"So it's that despicable cat demon."
Previously, the Xianhai Fish Clan had paid a steep price to acquire a Deification Bamboo Scroll. By the time they purchased it, it had already changed hands many times.
But the Deification Bamboo Scroll was a legendary artifact, and they were curious about where it had originated. After some investigation, they learned that the original seller had been a lecherous cat.
When Chu Feng heard about this, he told Xianhai Shaoyu and Xiao Yu'er that the Deification Bamboo Scroll had been snatched from his hands by the old cat back in the Hundred Chain Mortal World.
So even though Xiao Yu'er had never laid eyes on the old cat, she harbored a deep hatred for it.
Never had she expected to run into it here.
And Chu Feng hadn't expected it either — that the old cat would show up in a place like this.
The last time he'd dealt with the old cat was when he asked it about Xue Ji's whereabouts. He learned that Xue Ji had been given by the old cat to an evil spirit called the Demon Spirit King, so Chu Feng and the old cat had journeyed together to the Demon Coffin Mortal World to find her.
Later, when the Demon Coffin opened, the old cat wanted to make a haul alongside Chu Feng, and the two joined forces.
It was also at that time that they encountered one of Qin Jiu's Spirit World Masters — Taowu.
Only Taowu had deliberately concealed its strength at first, going by the name Tao Wu and approaching Chu Feng and the old cat to form an alliance.
They also met the seventh, eighth, and ninth elders of the Nine Totem Dao.
Back then, those three Daoists had been fierce rivals competing with Chu Feng's group for treasure.
It was only after Taowu revealed its true form and displayed its full power that the Nine Totem Dao changed their attitude toward Chu Feng.
As for the old cat, before Taowu's true form was revealed, it had already chosen to leave — wary of the Nine Totem Dao and unwilling to offend them.
That had been the last time Chu Feng saw the old cat.
He'd thought they might never meet again.
Yet here it was.
And the old cat was attacking the Ancient Battle Tribe.
Most crucially, it was devouring the gas that emanated from the treasure vault.
Clearly, it possessed power far beyond the ordinary.
This was entirely beyond Chu Feng's expectations.
After all, back then the old cat had feared even the Demon Spirit King. The ninth elder of the Nine Totem Dao was someone it didn't dare provoke.
How had it now become bold enough to challenge the Ancient Battle Tribe?
"It's that cat! It's that cat!!!"
"That cat is back!!"
At that moment, many people on the Ancient Battle Tribe's side cried out in alarm.
Some even produced portraits — and the person depicted in those portraits was none other than the old cat.
"You know that cat?" Chu Feng asked.
"That cat has been coveting the treasure left behind by our ancestor for more than just a day or two."
"Many years ago, it colluded with traitors from our clan, attempting to seize our ancestral treasure."
At that moment, a voice rang out from the distance. Looking toward the sound, they saw an elder with white hair and an extraordinary bearing.
