Chapter 601: 331 This person looks like someone in a yellow robe! (Please subscribe! Please vote monthly!)

"Zhonghua Book of Beasts" claims, "Mountain Lord is a tiger."

In ancient Dragon Country, Mountain Lord also meant Mountain God.

The ancients often referred to tigers as Mountain God Grandfather.

At this moment, Qin Hao was in the cave dwelling of a tiger that had cultivated into a spiritual being.

Entering this white tiger’s cave dwelling, Qin Hao discovered, it truly was the lair of a century-old demon.

Not only was the outside clean and tidy, but the interior of the cave was another world altogether.

After entering the cave, there was a whole different space inside, not only vast in size, covering hundreds of square meters, but also fully equipped with stone tables, stone chairs, and stone beds.

This white Mountain Lord transformed in an instant, with a large amount of smoke appearing beneath its feet.

The next second, it transformed into a man dressed in white robes.

The Mountain Lord said, "In my early years, I accidentally swallowed some Immortal Herbs from the mountains, which awakened my spiritual intelligence. Only then did I begin to explore cultivation, and thanks to the medicinal effects of that herb, I was able to transform into human form at this realm."

Qin Hao nodded.

With the presence of Source Crystals here, it was natural for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to emerge, a fairly common occurrence.

This tiger was quite fortunate, likely having consumed Immortal Herbs infused with the essence of Source Crystals.

Otherwise, ordinary Immortal Herbs wouldn’t have such potent effects.

The Mountain Lord presented tea utensils to Qin Hao and brewed him a cup of tea.

He asked, "I haven’t inquired yet how to address my fellow Daoist, and which celestial mountain are you cultivating on? Are you here to kill me?"

When Qin Hao first appeared, the Mountain Lord sensed him.

After all, it was a great demon that had consumed Immortal Herbs and had been cultivating for five hundred years.

Although Qin Hao had not made a move, the unintentional aura he emitted made it clear to the Mountain Lord that his strength was extremely powerful, several realms above that of his own.

To the extent that he couldn’t even gauge the depth of Qin Hao’s abilities.

It was almost certain that Qin Hao had come to eliminate him.

After all, humans and demons do not coexist peacefully.

Qin Hao said, "Infinite Heavenly Venerable, Mountain Lord, don’t overthink it. I am Qin Hao, just a mundane Taoist residing in Qingyun Mountain.

I am merely passing by this area. Hearing that a child was lost from the village below, I came to help search for him, that’s all. As long as you return the child to the village, I will not resort to violence."

This spiritually cultivated Mountain Lord was very polite and treated others with respect.

Qin Hao was also a reasonable person, he too wouldn’t resort to violence.

Listening to Qin Hao introducing himself,

when he heard the three words "Qingyun Mountain,"

the Mountain Lord’s hand visibly trembled.

Qingyun Mountain...

The Tao where the Heavenly Master resides!

My goodness!

He wondered where such a strong cultivator had suddenly come from.

Turns out, it was someone from Qingyun Mountain.

In recent years, the name of Qingyun Mountain had grown immensely famous throughout Dragon Country.

Even this Mountain Lord tiger, though often dwelling in the mountains, had heard of Qingyun Mountain.

Especially since the Heavenly Master from Qingyun Mountain had fought with a Lord Level of the Light Song Clan before.

This Mountain Lord tiger had once watched that level of battle from a distance.

Even from afar, the fear induced by such a battle was palpable.

Whether it was the Heavenly Master or the Lord Level from the Light Song Clan at that time, a mere sneeze from them could have killed him.

He wasn’t sure which Taoist from Qingyun Mountain this person was.

Considering his young age and his powerful strength, he must at least be a "Yellow Robe."

As for a "Red Robe"?

That couldn’t be possible.

It’s said that the "Red Robes" of Qingyun Mountain are mostly comprised of old men.

And why would a "Red Robe" come here?

The Heavenly Master?

The Mountain Lord didn’t even consider that possibility.

To him, the Heavenly Master was a celestial being, not someone one just encountered easily.

And to think, the Heavenly Master would sit down and have tea with him?

Wishful thinking.

This person seemed like a "Yellow Robe."

However, the people of Qingyun Mountain were indeed quite reasonable.

Originally, this Mountain Lord tiger thought it was highly likely he was in great danger today and couldn’t avoid a fierce battle.

But the request from the other party was simply for him to return the child from the village below, and there was no intention of using violence.

The Mountain Lord tiger said, "Rest assured, Daoist friend, I bear no malice. In fact, things aren’t as you assume. The child came to the mountain on his own and encountered a wild boar. I rescued him, and he would have been returned long ago if he hadn’t fallen unconscious."

This Mountain Lord tiger, having cultivated for five hundred years, had already achieved the Tao.

In the early years, it had consumed the Immortal Herbs from the mountains, and what it cultivated was the orthodox Tao.

Moreover, its cultivation level had already established a foundation, long having surpassed the stage where it needed to prey on others for survival.

Now, this tiger could survive without eating or drinking.

Thus, it naturally had no interest in human children.

Additionally, it wasn’t foolish.

There was no need to take the risk of eating humans and attracting human attention.

In modern society, it was not the only one with cultivation.

There were many cultivators among humans,

like those from Qingyun Mountain.

Any of the Taoists from Qingyun Mountain could crush it with a flick of their finger.

This tiger was well aware of this fact.

Besides, human flesh was sour and watery, mushy in the mouth with no chewiness.

And nowadays, humans consumed various random additives, a mix of technology and tough substances.

Even the tigers despised humans, fearing they might poison themselves.

Thus, this tiger was even less likely to eat humans.

Even if it really craved meat, it could easily catch a small wild rabbit or a deer in the mountains for a satisfying and safe feast, which surely beat human flesh.

Qin Hao too saw this.

The aura around this tiger’s head glowed golden, not tainted with blood-red.

This indicated that the tiger’s nature was not bad; otherwise, Qin Hao wouldn’t have sat down and had tea with it.

Had it been otherwise, Qin Hao would have killed it upon their first encounter.

It was because this tiger was a good demon that he spoke nicely.

Afterward, this Mountain Lord led Qin Hao to the child.

At this moment, the child from the village below was sleeping soundly in the tiger’s cave.

The Mountain Lord tiger had even considerately covered the child with a deerskin blanket.

These days, even tigers seemed to know better how to take care of children than people did.

Seeing that the child was alright and that the tiger bore no malice,

Qin Hao was about to leave.

Once the child woke up, he would let this Mountain Lord tiger escort him down the mountain.

However, before Qin Hao could leave the Tiger Cave,

voices came from outside the cave.

"Taoist Li, are you sure it’s here? Is the demon living inside?"

Previously seen at the village entrance at the mountain base, those few individuals had now found this place, accompanied by a group of fully armed police.

After confirming that the child from the village had been abducted by the demon of this mountain, the police had informed their superiors.

After approval, the local armed police were mobilized to enter the mountains for the rescue.

It so happened that people from the Healthy King Group were there.

The higher-ups knew there were experts among this group from the Healthy King Group,

so they allowed the police to accompany them into the mountains to rescue the child first.

Involving a five-hundred-year-old great demon in the mountains, to be safe, the higher authorities of Jiuling City also contacted the Taoists from Qingyun Mountain in the mainland of Dragon Country, asking for assistance.

Regardless of what the Magic Masters from the island did not know,

the mainland’s higher-ups still preferred to trust the Taoists from Qingyun Mountain in Longguang City.

At this moment, the Taoists from Qingyun Mountain had not yet arrived.

To save time and rescue the person,

the armed police had already, under the leadership of Li Mujian, located the Demon Cave.
