Chapter 136 Arrogance! Confidence! A Man with Imperial Credentials?
Dou Qi Continent, Monster Mountain Range.
Blue Silver Grass Valley.
A blue eagle circles in the air.
As soon as Xiao Yan appeared, his gaze fell on the large snake coiled with its eyes closed and the monkey idly scratching at a tree trunk. He looked up and announced, "Let's go, it's time to meet the king of this Monster Mountain Range."
Immediately, he leaped onto the snake's now-expanded body.
"Is everything ready? Great!"
The Azure Bull Python understood, and its winding body suddenly accelerated, rushing straight towards the depths of the Monster Mountain Range!
The Titan Apes also showed some impatience; finally, they had room to maneuver, and they leaped to catch up!
With their strength as fourth-tier magical beasts, they could easily bypass the troubles in the territory of the Amethyst Winged Lion King and head straight for its cave.
It was due to a tacit understanding.
They did not conceal their presence when they arrived, and the Amethyst Winged Lion King immediately sensed their arrival.
However, its movements still carried a kingly confidence and languor, even allowing them to step into the cave.
"Yo, we finally meet, Amethyst Winged Lion King."
Xiao Yan stood in the main seat and was the first to wave and greet everyone.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King, its body covered in amethyst-like scales, with wings on its back and a single horn on its forehead shimmering with purple light, gazed thoughtfully at the giant python with a bull's head and a giant ape resembling a unicorn but with a more earthy and heavy texture. "The time before last it was you, the last time it was you—indeed, all those changes—were caused by you—"
But to its surprise, these two beings, whose bloodlines were almost equal to its own, would simultaneously submit to a human—
No, saying "human beings" doesn't seem accurate enough either.
Even with its sixth-tier magical beast cultivation and perception, it couldn't see through the humanoid creature's true nature.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King narrowed its eyes and its gaze fell on Xiao Yan.
It disdained to preemptively seize the initiative; it was more curious about the other party's intentions. These two mere fourth-order beings should understand what this meant.
The reason it spared one of them last time was due to its own considerations. The Transformation Grass represented too much, and it had its own reservations. There were even more ancient beings in the Monster Mountain Range —
"Speak, what is your purpose?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King stretched out its broad wings and its gaze fell directly on the figure between the two beasts. It could tell at a glance who was in charge.
Xiao Yan looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion, his gaze lingering for a moment, especially on the crystal-clear purple horn on its forehead.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's innate ability is to temporarily seal an opponent's cultivation or special abilities by consuming the energy contained in its horn, and this consumption is irreversible.
"I am not human!"
Xiao Yan got straight to the point, or rather, this was the direction he was looking for. It was worth it for him to intentionally or unintentionally use the Blue Silver Emperor Martial Soul after entering, and to conceal himself under the blessing of the Blue Silver Domain.
Under these circumstances, no one below the Dou Zong level could accurately determine his true identity and background.
Pretending to be weak while actually being strong, or creating a false sense of mystery—these are all skills one can employ to the fullest.
"I know----"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King nodded in agreement. "So, what is your purpose?"
"I possess a secret technique that allows magical beasts to transform into human form without the need for the Transformation Grass."
"Transform into human form?"
They've gotten this straight to the point.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King immediately stood up. The Transformation Grass was at least a seventh-grade pill, something that a sixth-order magical beast like it could not easily access. It was usually a means for it to make things difficult for its opponents.
Is the other party's bluntness due to ulterior motives, or simply an overconfidence?
"and then?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King asked this question, but before Xiao Yan could speak, it continued, "Then you'll use this as leverage to make me like the two beside you, to form a contract with you and be at your command. And the price for taking human form will most likely be a reduction in my own level, right?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King gazed at the humans before him.
The changes over the years, coupled with his initial curiosity—that a mere fourth-tier magical beast, no, back then it was only second-tier, could speak—now he can vaguely connect the dots!
Xiao Yan looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King with some surprise.
The other party actually said almost exactly what he was thinking: no one who can become a regional champion is a fool.
He readily replied, "Yes."
"Make me, a dignified sixth-tier magical beast and king of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, submit to you?"
"Yes," Xiao Yan replied as before.
"You want me to lower my rank and obey your commands?"
"Yes," Xiao Yan affirmed again.
"Just to exchange for your transformation technique, which is not guaranteed to succeed and may not even be real, and to hand over your entire life and fortune?"
"Yes." Xiao Yan nodded again.
With each question uttered by the Amethyst Winged Lion King, its massive body slowly straightened, a deep and fierce aura spreading out, and its pair of amethyst beast eyes radiating murderous intent as it stared at the being before it.
Its voice was deep and resonant, each word like thunder: "Am I stupid?"
"Yes," Xiao Yan answered subconsciously.
But under the almost tangible pressure of the Beast King, he immediately shook his head, correcting himself in the same tone: "No, on the contrary—the Lion King is very clever and can see through our plans immediately, but that doesn't matter. I only care about the Lion King's decision."
"Transformation isn't that important."
Faced with such a question, the Amethyst Winged Lion King did not answer directly, but instead spoke coldly and indifferently.
"That's not right," Xiao Yan retorted again. "Without special opportunities, the bloodline of the Amethyst Winged Lion race is enough to keep them trapped at the sixth rank for life. But if they take human form and cultivate human techniques, they may be able to break through the barriers and reach the seventh rank—not only can they improve their own strength, but they can also bring blessings to their descendants."
As he spoke, his gaze drifted deeper into the cave.
From there came a series of soft, snore-like sounds, belonging to the still-young amethyst winged lion king.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King stared at Xiao Yan for a moment, then casually glanced at the large snake and monkey standing silently beside him. "Words are meaningless, you—"
"We won't give it to them."
Xiao Yan interrupted him without any politeness.
"So you're just toying with me?!" With such utter arrogance, as if this matter were already in his grasp, the Amethyst Winged Lion King's icy beastly eyes locked onto Xiao Yan: "You think you can make me hand over my life and fortune to you with just a mere empty promise? That's far too childish! But you should know that once I capture you, everything you know will be mine."
"If the Lion King has the strength, he should give it a try."
Xiao Yan's lips curled into a slight smile. Before he could finish speaking, and before the Amethyst Winged Lion King could react, a flash of pink light appeared around him.
He appeared like a ghost on the head of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and with one foot, he stepped lightly on the side of the amethyst horn on its forehead, which symbolized majesty and power!
The Amethyst Winged Lion King's pupils constricted sharply. Space? A seventh-tier transformed magical beast?!
His body stiffened instinctively, a feeling of fear and submission that a creature instinctively feels towards a more powerful predator.
But the thought only flashed through its mind for a moment before it snapped back to reality! If the other party was truly a seventh-rank, there was no need to waste so much breath on it; the only similarity was its seventh-rank demeanor.
A condescending attitude!
An attitude that suggests they have complete control over it!
For a moment, it was uncertain whether it could be sure.
