[Side Quest: You encountered a small blue deer asking for help to deal with a threat that once took the life of the small blue deer's mother. (complete)]
[Reward: Full Moon Ganoderma(Mystic)]
[Redeem: Y/N]𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Back at the Main Peak, Xuan Hao had just finished up recovering from his earlier battle with the winged lion demon beast before getting the reward from the small blue deer's quest and putting it into his interspatial ring.
"That should be about it, should I go check up on the blue deer from-"
[System detected that hosts disciples encountered a low-tier young master. The disciples Chu Yang and Qing Yi confronted the low-tier young master!]
Just as Xuan Hao was contemplating over what to do next, a message from the system, that he had not seen in a long time suddenly reappeared.
"A young master…? How did Chu Yang and Qing Yi manage to encounter someone like that?" Muttering this to himself as he narrowed his eyes, the first thing Xuan Hao thought about was that it might be related to the area both of them had gone to.
After all, it was a well-known fact that the River Sect had a lot of Core Formation Realm cultivators, but no one at the Nascent Soul Realm, so the first thing Xuan Hao could think of was that someone from the River Sect had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm and a member of their family had ended up in a fight with his two disciples…
No need to worry about it, the River Sect wouldn't dare to do anything to those-
[Disciple Chu Yang and Qing Yi enraged the low-tier young master, the low-tier young master will stop at nothing to get revenge!]
"…"
Upon seeing the second message from the system, Xuan Hao could not help smiling wryly as he felt like the system waited to throw out the second message…
Maybe I should go to the River Sect and make sure everything is okay…
About to leave the Main Peak for now, Xuan Hao turned around and looked at the winged lion. "Now, what should I do about you? Want to join me?"
Roar!
The winged lion roared approvingly towards Xuan Hao before excitedly moving around.
"Is this perhaps your first time outside the Main Peak…?"
Looking at how excited the winged lion was, Xuan Hao could not help thinking that it acted like a child leaving home for the first time.
Something not really fitting in with the winged lion demon beast's giant size and savage appearance.
Roar!
Roaring once again in response to what Xuan Hao said, Xuan Hao suddenly began realizing that the winged lion most likely never left its small spot besides the pagoda before he had come along.
Had this winged lion really just remained sleeping beside the pagoda and eating what little that came towards it on its own accord throughout its entire life…? Such a unique style of cultivating, even he was far inferior compared to the winged lion.
After all, he would still leave his pavilion from time to time and interact with other people. The winged lion on the other hand, just remained asleep beside a pavilion on the Main Peak as it slowly cultivated until it reached its current cultivation realm…
If not for the fact that demon beasts had a longer lifespan than human cultivators, Xuan Hao highly doubted that the winged lion would have been able to reach its current cultivation realm before its lifespan ran out…
Roar!
Having realized that its master was thinking something rude about it from the expression he was looking at it with, the winged lion roared angrily.
"Hehe, I was just thinking about my disciples. No need to be so angry~" Chuckling playfully after seeing the winged lions display, Xuan Hao joked around with it for another few minutes before stopping.
"Ahm! We still need to get going or we will never reach the River Sect's territory any time soon!"
Seeing the winged lion look over at him with a wronged look similar to a child that had just been bullied by an evil adult, Xuan Hao stopped joking and returned to the issue at hand.
Any longer and the winged lion might disregard the blood pact and directly attack him! But at the very least he learnt that the winged lion was similar to a child in how it acted.
This did not have much to do with its age, but more with the fact that it hadn't really interacted with anyone before Xuan Hao had appeared.
Looking up at the giant winged lion standing in front of him, Xuan Hao suddenly realized that it might not be a good idea to fly over the Flying Sword Sect's territory with such a giant demon beast.
The sheer panic and fear such a giant demon beast flying by would cause, was likely going to end up being reported to the Flying Sword Sect for months to come…
"Can you look less threatening…?"
Not knowing if the winged lion had any way to make this happen, Xuan Hao could only ask and see if it had any way to do this.
Roar!
Fwoosh
Having understood what Xuan Hao said, the winged lion nodded its large head before it was suddenly enveloped by a large amount of smoke, causing Xuan Hao to take a few steps. Trying to move away from the smoke beginning to spread out with the winged lion at the centre. Soon covering a few dozen meters around the winged lion demon beast. Making it impossible to see the winged lion demon beasts hidden inside the smoke.
Whoosh~
After a few seconds passed, Xuan Hao watched the smoke disperse. Revealing the winged lion demon beast hidden inside.
"What in the world!? How is this even possible?!"
Not knowing what to say, Xuan Hao could only stare at the now tiny, winged lion demon beast that was standing in the place that the giant winged lion demon beast had stood seconds ago.
"You can shrink yourself?"
Roar~
A small, cute roar nowhere as majestic as before echoed out from the tiny, winged lion cub.
"Guess that is a yes… With this, we should be able to reach the River Sect without causing a massive panic along the way!"
Not thinking too much about how the winged lion had managed to shrink itself in the first place, Xuan Hao just decided to note it down as a special ability of whatever race the winged lion demon beast belonged to.
In the first place, it did not grow any stronger from shrinking. Instead, Xuan Hao clearly felt its strength weakening by a large margin through shrinking to its current small size.
If the winged lion could be said to be close to the Peak of the Domain Lord Realm before. Now it would only be around the middle stages of the Domain Lord Realm in strength!
Whoosh~
Picking up the tiny, winged lion before it could react, Xuan Hao made his way down the Main Peak before heading towards the territory of the River Sect.
Exploring the rest of the Main Peak would have to wait. In the first place, he was far from being strong enough to fully examine the hill sized blue rock filled with divine energy!
For now, the most important thing was to reach the River Sect before the low-tier young master mentioned by the system called his father, grandfather, ancestor, or great ancestor for help…
…
"Hm?!"
Why do I suddenly feel like something bad is about to happen to me…?
At the same time Xuan Hao was making his way over towards the River Sect's territory, a middle-aged man sitting down cultivating suddenly opened both his eyes as he looked around himself anxiously.
"Master? Is something wrong?"
A dozen figures donning completely black armour instantly appeared beside the middle-aged man before one of them stepped forward and asked in a worried tone.
"No need! My injuries just flared up for a short moment… More importantly, how is the current situation at the Pure Heart Island? Is my son making any progress in acquiring the Pure Heart Spiritual Water?"
Not wanting to admit that he just acted all anxious due to a superstitious feeling of danger, the man instead blamed his injuries before asking about his son's progress with a smile on his face.
His son was the most important thing left for him and he loved him dearly. Even to the point that he handed over the matter of getting the Pure Heart Spiritual Water needed for his recovery to him!
"The young master arrived at the Pure Heart Island a few hours ago, but…"
"Hm? But what?! Did anything happen to my son!?" Hearing something might have happened to his son, the middle-aged man sprang up and grabbed hold of the black clothed man.
"N-nothing happened to the young master, b-but the great elder said that there might be someone scheming against them on Pure Heart Island… T-the great elder said that it might be one of the other sects that know you need the Pure Heart Spiritual water to recover!" Explaining the situation as fast as he could, the black clothed man felt his shoulders begin letting out a few cracking sounds under the great force of the middle-aged man's grip.
"The other sects?! They dare? Looks like I will have to go help my son before those half dead fossils kills him!"
"Master! You can't! You are still not-"
Whoosh!
""…""
Before any of the people present could react, the middle-aged man disappeared in front of them.
"Let's get going as well… We have to make sure the master is safe…" Looking at everyone standing around, the black clothed man who had his shoulders broken by the middle-aged man stood up again before the group of black clothed people began chasing after their master.
