Upon seeing Hua Wushang, Dugu Xiaojin knew something was terribly wrong.

This Lord Hua, whom he had met several times in the Imperial Palace, spoke little, but was highly favored by Emperor Yongye.

He also seemed to be Dongfang Jin's teacher, and Dugu Xiaojin did not like him.

Could the snake at the base of the mountain have something to do with him?

Dugu Xiaojin remained composed.

Hua Wushang reached the edge of the cliff and surveyed the surroundings.

There was a row of shallow footprints in the snow.

In dismay, Xiaojin cursed silently; those were left accidentally by Dongfang Yong.

Also, there were signs of a struggle in the snow.

Hua Wushang instantly realized that the two missing Dacang Monkeys had been killed.

His lips twitched, and several Dacang Monkeys quickly moved down the cliff.

At this point, Dugu Xiaojin also understood that Hua Wushang could control beasts.

As he watched the Dacang Monkeys descend, Xiaojin grew anxious.

Dongfang Yong was still below, oblivious to the situation on the cliff.

Should he notify Dongfang Yong, and how?

As Xiaojin hesitated, Hua Wushang stood with his hands behind him at the cliff's edge.

His face, more delicate than a woman's, had an icy chill.

A wolf's howl pierced the long sky.

A massive white wolf emerged from the snow, its fur as white as the snow itself.

It moved swiftly and landed on the cliff edge, driving back the Dacang Monkeys attempting to descend.

Joy flickered in Hua Wushang's eyes.

This wolf was incredibly robust, its physique as astonishing as a young calf.

It didn't seem like a Great Chu Wild Wolf but rather like the famed wolves of the Beiqi Wolf Army, though it was not one of them.

A surge of spiritual energy emanated from the wolf's eyes.

Moreover, on its forehead, there was a Wuji Seal.

Hua Wushang, having seen many beasts before, had never encountered a wolf with a condensed Wuji Fire Seal.

"Last time, the intrusion into the Crown Prince Mansion was your doing," Hua Wushang mused.

He had an intuition that this wolf could understand his speech.

Earlier, when Hua Wushang helped the Crown Prince recruit manpower, as the news spread, numerous potentials entered the Crown Prince Mansion.

Everybody entering the Crown Prince Mansion had to sign a life-death contract beforehand. Only a few could succeed in the Gathering Seal. This task was carried out very covertly by the Crown Prince Mansion, but unexpectedly, it had to be suspended halfway due to an unknown wolf that carried away a corpse.

After the matter was exposed, a family of the deceased made a scene to Emperor Yongye.

Although Emperor Yongye did not investigate thoroughly, he warned the Crown Prince, and the recruitment had to be stopped.

The white wolf had appeared suddenly; its origin unknown and Hua Wushang had investigated but never found its trace. Unexpectedly, it had been hiding in Dacang Mountain.

Hearing the howl in the Snake Cave, Dongfang Yong frowned.

He quickly glanced at the nearby Horned Snake.

The Horned Snake, deep in sleep, was not awakened by the wolf's howl.

Before descending, Dongfang Yong had made an arrangement with the white wolf to alert him if there was any trouble.

He had to figure a way to leave.

But at this moment, he had yet to find the Martial Arts.

Once the white wolf appeared, several Dacang Monkeys surrounded Dugu Xiaojin. As one Dacang Monkey pounced, the white wolf leaped, its sharp claws tearing through the monkey's tough fur.

The pained Dacang Monkey retreated, and several others surged forward, quickly forcing the White Wolf King to the edge of the cliff.

Gang Qi emanated from around the White Wolf King, his body blurring like a phantom.

This time, his speed was even more astonishing.

Like a white lightning, in an instant, he sliced open the major arteries on the necks of several Dacang Monkeys.

The blood bloomed like flowers in the snow, strikingly vivid.

Watching their motionless companions on the ground, the other Dacang Monkeys all showed looks of terror.

Clap clap clap.

A round of applause sounded.

Hua Wushang approached with a face full of admiration.

He slightly squinted his eyes, his upturned eyes brimming with interest.

What a fine White Wolf.

Its strength was formidable.

This made Hua Wushang want to tame it.

Hua Wushang was also a Beast Tamer; he had tamed many beasts under his command.

But none of them, not even the Horned Snakes in the Snake Cave below, were as spiritually attuned as this White Wolf King in front of him.

If he could tame this White Wolf King, Hua Wushang would be even more formidable.

He gestured with his hand for the monkeys to move aside.

Dugu Xiaojin stepped back a few steps, his back now to a hundred-meter cliff.

Dongfang Yong hadn't come up yet; the bitterly cold wind blowing from the bottom of the cliff made one's hair stand on end.

Hua Wushang calmly took out a leaf.

His overly beautiful eyes seemed fogged up as if covered by a mist.

His lips, more delicate than petals, held the leaf.

A pleasant and melodic tune flowed out from beneath his lips.

The sound was incredibly captivating.

Dugu Xiaojin, upon hearing this sound, felt his mind go blank.

He wasn't unfamiliar with this sensation; he had experienced something similar when he had encountered Nalan Yan'er before.

His consciousness gradually became fuzzy, as a devilish voice echoed in his mind.

"Come here."

His feet moved forward a few steps.

The man in front stood smiling, reaching out his hand.

His voice made it impossible for Xiaojin to resist.

He took a step forward.

Beside Hua Wushang, Wen Energy spread like dense fog, encircling and trapping Xiaojin within.

This Wen Energy, strand by strand, penetrated into Xiaojin's body, interlocking like an invisible spider web, trapping the prey until it completely lost the ability to resist.

By the cliff, several wild grasses stubbornly swayed in the snowy wind.

"This is bad! The White Wolf is in trouble."

At the edge of the snow-covered zone, Feng Bailing's seventh sense stirred.

After confirming that both Dongfang Yong and Xiaojin were on the mountain top, Feng Bailing followed the mountain paths upwards.

Had it not been for a little trouble halfway, she would have reached the cliff sooner than Hua Wushang.

Feng Bailing's back carried Dugu Xiaojin.

When she found Dugu Xiaojin, he was unconscious in a hidden cave.

Feng Bailing checked him; Xiaojin had a high fever, which was quite severe, and he did not respond when spoken to.

After giving him some herbal medicine, she carried Xiaojin all the way to the mountain top.

Unexpectedly, Hua Wushang had arrived first.

Feng Bailing heard the conversation between Hua Wushang and the White Wolf.

She also knew that Dongfang Yong was just below the cliff.

The White Wolf, in a way, was one of their own.

For Hua Wushang to try to tame it was akin to courting disaster!

She had to stop him!

The ground beneath her was covered in snow, making it impossible to utilize more plant power; relying only on a few cliff-side grasses was futile in stopping Hua Wushang.

While Feng Bailing racked her brains, she suddenly felt the mountain tremble beneath her feet.
