#118 - A surly big monkey!
The old man's face twitched, his complexion turning ashen and unsightly, so enraged he was practically exploding with anger.
What do you mean, it's just losing a son, you can always have more…
Is that the kind of thing a human being says?
Gu Yuan's words not only infuriated the old man, but even Xia Mingyang and Old Man Mo on the side wore strange expressions.
To say that Gu Yuan is a talented cultivator and handsome to boot, but that mouth of his is truly vicious!
To actually say such things to a Celestial Realm cultivator!
Moreover, this kid is not only vicious but also incredibly bold. A mere Innate dares to provoke a Celestial Realm cultivator.
Su Xiaoyue also covered her mouth and giggled, giving Gu Yuan a flirtatious wink: "This young man is truly amusing…"
"You little beast, you're courting death!"
The old man surnamed Wu originally wanted to question Gu Yuan about where he learned his swordsmanship, but upon hearing those words, he flew into a rage and could no longer restrain himself, waving his hand to unleash a streak of spiritual light.
The spiritual light split into twelve sword energies in the air, shooting towards Gu Yuan.
The sharp and chilling sword energies exuded a bone-piercing killing intent, enveloping every part of Gu Yuan's body.
Each of these sword energies was incomparably sharp, like a divine weapon that could cut through iron like mud.
Combined together, they were layered upon layered, their power amplified, already sealing off Gu Yuan's retreat and the surrounding space.
He could only withstand it head-on, unable to dodge.
The feeling it gave Gu Yuan was extremely dangerous, even greater than the pressure from ten Wu Xuns combined!
A Celestial Realm cultivator is indeed extraordinary!
Especially this sword energy divine ability, it gave him a rather familiar feeling, clearly the sword energy divine ability condensed after mastering the 'Life-奪命 Sword Art'!
"Fellow Daoist Wu, you're already so old, why bother arguing with a junior?"
Gu Yuan gripped the Autumn Water Sword, just about to take action to test his own level, when Xia Mingyang raised his hand to stop him.
He also waved his hand to release a scarlet iron token, which transformed into a scarlet dragon-shaped spiritual light, forcibly shattering those sword energies into fragments. The tiny fragments of sword energy were incinerated into wisps of white smoke by the scorching red light.
"Crimson Dragon Token!"
Seeing his divine ability broken, the old man surnamed Wu's face darkened, but a hint of greed flashed in his eyes as he looked at the scarlet token.
His expression was gloomy as he coldly questioned: "Xia Mingyang, are you really planning to protect this kid?"
"Fellow Daoist Wu must be joking?"
Xia Mingyang sneered: "Gu Yuan is a member of my Jade Cauldron Tower. As the Tower Master of the Jade Cauldron Tower, if I don't protect him, am I supposed to hand him over to you to deal with?"
These words of his weren't just for show.
Gu Yuan's timely appearance had also helped him block Wu Xun. If not for that, his refining of the Crimson Dragon Token certainly wouldn't have been so smooth.
If he didn't step in to protect Gu Yuan, his reputation would probably be ruined after today. How would his fellow disciples look at him when he returned to the mountain gate?
A person can be hypocritical, insidious, and even ruthless.
But no matter what, there must be a line that cannot be crossed!
Gu Yuan was one of his own, at least in the eyes of others, he was his subordinate.
If he didn't even protect his own subordinate who was working for him, who would be willing to work for him in the future? How would he survive in the cultivation world in the future?
Moreover, Gu Yuan's talent was indeed worth his protection!
"I don't care what grudges you have between you…"
The monkey trainer, Meng Hong, glanced at Gu Yuan, gradually losing patience, and then looked at Xia Mingyang:
"Pavilion Master Xia, as long as you hand over the Crimson Dragon Token, I will owe you a favor. You can order me to do anything, and I will comply. What do you think?"
"In my opinion, Master is still too kind. Treasures belong to those who are virtuous. As long as you take a fancy to them, just snatch them directly. But Master actually wants to make a deal with you."
The white-haired macaque next to him cracked his neck, grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and said:
"Pavilion Master Xia, my master has given you so much face, I advise you not to be ignorant of what's good for you!"
The macaque's voice was low and the tone was slightly strange, but it caused everyone's expressions to change slightly.
This macaque could actually speak human language!
It was clear that it had already refined its transverse bone and had a sufficiently high level of cultivation. It was a demon in the Celestial Realm.
How strong must Meng Hong be to be able to tame such a demon?
Gu Yuan, on the other hand, took a few more glances at the macaque, revealing a hint of interest.
The five spiritual pets he raised, including rats, snakes, turtles, centipedes, and even the Green Shadow Sword Butterfly, were all extraordinary.
Among them, Turtle Da and the Treasure-Seeking Rat A'Huang were the most intelligent.
But they had not yet reached the point where they could speak.
It wasn't because their level was too low, but because they were all in the early stages of growth.
As long as they grew step by step, when they had enough cultivation, they would be able to master their innate divine abilities more perfectly.
Being able to speak was only a matter of time.

"Apes are known for their intelligence. Even ordinary apes have a higher IQ than other animals. Apes that have become demons are definitely not inferior to humans. They can be ordered to do some things and are a very good helper…"
Gu Yuan was a little envious and also had an idea: "Should I also raise an ape?"
Among the five spiritual pets he raised, A'Huang was the most useful. In addition to giving him three talents, he also often found some spiritual herbs for him.
But even A'Huang couldn't do many things.
"Forget it, I'll think about it later…"
Gu Yuan secretly dismissed the idea.
He already couldn't afford to raise the five spiritual pets he had now.
Now A'Huang, A'Wu, Da Zui and the others were still relying on their own abilities to hunt and support themselves in the Yunmeng Mountains.
If he raised another ape, which was large and could eat, how would he raise it?
He should wait until he joined the Medicine King Mountain and everything was stable.
"A mere beast dares to threaten me?"
Seeing the macaque dare to speak to him like this, Xia Mingyang sneered.
"Beast?"
The macaque grinned, clenched its fist, making a crisp cracking sound of joints, and exuded a strong baleful aura and a mountain-like momentum:
"Could it be that Pavilion Master Xia thinks that a monkey like me is not worthy of your attention? In that case, why don't you and I try our hand and see if you kill me, or if this monkey of mine takes off your head!"
"Haha… Good! Very good! Xia Mingyang, so what if you have broken through to the Celestial Realm?"
Seeing Xia Mingyang being targeted by so many people, a gloating look appeared on Wei Chuan's face:
"I want to see what kind of end you will meet today!"
At this time, not only the monkey trainer and his pet, Su Xiaoyue, and the old man surnamed Wu, these Celestial Realm cultivators.
Some martial artists and Innate martial artists were also attracted by the commotion and were watching everything from a distance.
This was just on the surface, and there was no telling how many people were watching here in the dark.
With so many people around, no matter how capable his old rival Xia Mingyang was, he would probably not be able to get any benefits today!
Xia Mingyang glanced coldly at Wei Chuan, ignoring him, and then looked at the crowd, feeling deeply troubled.
