CHAPTER 676: CHAPTER 418 100 MILES!_2

Same species and same race are fine.

But——

"Green Water Crocodile!"

"Silver Armored Horned Python!"

They don’t match at all!

Looking again at this Green Water Crocodile——

"Flipping River and Inverting Sea surpasses the flood dragon, two arms turning with Waist Skill, floating and swimming through curves, with both hands linked to charge the loins."

This Green Water Crocodile seems to have actually become enlightened.

One is a coincidence.

Two is absolutely not.

Baili Changjing felt a bad omen as he forced the Silver Armored Horned Python and Green Water Crocodile back with a sudden burst of sword light, and without hesitation, turned and fled——

"Sky Blue Soaring Technique" of ’Sky Blue Technique’!

This is top-level Qinggong, an elite movement technique.

A soaring leap.

Long-distance walk and high flying.

However——

"Chirp chirp~"

The overlapping cries made Baili Changjing look up, his heart suddenly sank——

"Double-headed duck!"

Another Beast King!

...

"This person is——"

Yan Chuan looked at the person besieged by the Silver Armored Horned Python, Green Water Crocodile, and Double-headed Duck, and remembered: "Baili Changjing!"

Fu Zhe and others had left Yan Chuan with portraits and brief details of the ten Innate of Nanxiong City, among whom was the current head of the Baili Family, Baili Changjing——

"The third Innate of the Baili Family!"

"Guarding the family."

"Two years ago, he was Innate Third Level."

Yan Chuan recalled the information on Baili Changjing; he wasn’t strong, but the Baili Family had two other Innate members. One was Baili Changjing’s uncle, last seen in Hunxi King City Realm ten years ago, Innate Fourth Layer. The other was Baili Changjing’s brother, who spent most of the time outside and returned ten years ago as Innate Fifth Layer, and two years ago as Innate Eleventh Layer.

These two, especially the latter, are the Baili Family’s stabilizers, the reason they became the first prestigious family in Nanxiong City.

As for Baili Changjing——

He was just maintaining!

At this moment, facing the Silver Armored Horned Python, Green Water Crocodile, and Double-headed Duck’s siege, Baili Changjing was not an opponent and even escaping was difficult.

Unless——

"Explode!"

"Life and Death!"

Baili Changjing’s situation was perilous——

Look at the Double-headed Duck, its body agile and unpredictable, using waist and spine, Qi-Blood flowing along, long and united, Kidney Water abundant.

Then look at the Green Water Crocodile, with Spiritual Communication on its back, lively at the waist, Tendon Adjusting and Qi Cultivation, seeking directness through curves, dividing and merging as one flow.

Also see the Silver Armored Horned Python, hiding and gathering Qi, running through its whole body, internally hard and externally soft, curving first then stretching; turning freely, distinguishing attack from defense; adhering and absorbing, snake strength divinely penetrating.

Each of them is hard to deal with!

Each is strange!

"Strange, strange, strange!"

"If this continues, I’m sure to die without a doubt!"

Baili Changjing maximized the ’Sky Blue Soaring Technique’ and ’Golden Wind Fifteen Swords’, but couldn’t break out of the three Beast Kings’ cooperative blockade.

The situation was dire!

Trapped in a dire strait!

"Must risk my life!"

Baili Changjing was unwilling, reluctant, yet forced to this point, he mustered up the ’Baili Divine Skill’, his mind resolved to explode.

But at this moment——

"Evil beasts!"

"Back down immediately!"

Suddenly, a shout pierced through the clear sky, Baili Changjing quickly stopped his True Yuan, only to see the three Beast Kings around him showing fear and actually retreating in unison——

Plop!

Green Water Crocodile plunged into the cold pool.

Flap!

Double-headed Duck soared straight into the sky.

Rustle!

Silver Armored Horned Python returned to its lair.

Amidst the forest, someone flashed to his side, Baili Changjing looked——

Handsome!

Shenxiu!

But unfamiliar.

"Thank you for your help!"

Baili Changjing dared not relax his vigilance.

The newcomer smiled and said: "These three beasts caused Baili Brother trouble, it’s my fault."

"You know me?" Baili Changjing asked, surprised and suspicious.

He didn’t know this person.

But this person knew him.

"I’ve long admired the name but never met, only recognized you by seeing the appearances of the Innates of Nanxiong City from friends."

The newcomer was indeed Yan Chuan.

He cupped his hands to Baili Changjing: "These three beasts have recently been tamed by me and have joined under my command; I didn’t expect them to clash with Baili Brother."

This?

Subduing Beast Kings?

And three of them?

Since when did Nanxiong City have such a significant figure?

Baili Changjing pondered swiftly; judging by the newcomer’s demeanor, he seemed friendly, but still couldn’t be careless. It’s natural to be cautious when outside. He looked at Yan Chuan, adjusted his mentality, cupped his hands again and thanked him, then asked: "May I ask the friend’s distinguished surname and name? Where is your immortal home?"

"My name is Yan Chuan, I usually wander freely, currently residing temporarily at Nanyue Lake." Yan Chuan smiled at Baili Changjing and said: "In early last year, I stayed at Baili Family’s Martial Cave for seven days, and took away a ’Cloud Whale Skill’ and a ’Returning Mountain Technique’ before leaving. Thanks to the Baili Family, I was fortunate to prove Dao. If Baili Brother faces any difficulties in the future, you can always come to Nanyue Lake to find me."

"Martial Cave?"

Baili Changjing now understood.

This was a strategy set by his uncle when he was the Family Head, aiming to make wide-ranging connections with heroes from all over the world. Over several decades, it indeed attracted a lot of talent for the ’Baili Guard’, making it more elite.

But a proven Innate Dao? There was none.

At least, there wasn’t in the intelligence the Baili Family held.

However, unexpectedly, one suddenly emerged today.

Moreover——

"Early last year?"

Baili Changjing felt a stroke of luck: "This person likely was already in the Peak State before entering the Martial Cave, and the Martial Cave was just icing on the cake."

If this person had entered the Martial Cave a year later, like this year, the Baili Family wouldn’t have gained the favor of this newly promoted Innate!

Baili Changjing did not doubt Yan Chuan’s words; Yan Chuan spoke in detail——

Time!

Place!

Secret manual!

The three-in-one, plus demeanor and expression, Baili Changjing could easily check the Martial Cave’s records for Yan Chuan’s entry record, it couldn’t be faked.

"When my uncle opened the Martial Cave back then, the original intention was to give commoners around the world another way out, although there were many within the family who opposed it at the time. Who could have imagined that decades later, it would produce a Divine General level expert like Brother Yan; if my uncle and the family knew, they would certainly be overjoyed."

Baili Changjing felt much more enthusiastic.

Although Yan Chuan’s ascension to Innate may not have much to do with the Baili Family’s Martial Cave, it’s at least a form of kindness, making him naturally closer than to a regular unfamiliar Innate, or a newly promoted Innate.

Moreover——

"This person isn’t just a newly promoted Innate!"

"He can subdue innate Beast Kings like the Silver Armored Horned Python, Green Water Crocodile, and Double-headed Duck in Nanyue Lake, extremely capable!"

"Must foster a good relationship with this person!"

"Absolutely must!"

Baili Changjing having decided in his mind, extended an invitation: "Brother Yan, and my Baili Family indeed have a rare fate, why not return with me to Nanxiong City and enjoy a feast together, wouldn’t it be delightful?"

"That’s my wish, and I dare not ask more."

Yan Chuan exactly intended this!

...

"Everyone!"

"Prepare a feast!"

"Go invite the ’Black Butcher’ from the Fire Cloud Restaurant to come to my residence personally and cook; today I want to host a guest of honor!"

"Take my invitation, go invite Deputy City Lords She Bai and Zao Ci!"

Upon returning home, Baili Changjing immediately made arrangements, taking Yan Chuan into the manor, and explained to Yan Chuan: "’Fire Cloud Restaurant’ is the top restaurant in Nanxiong City, with the Master chef as the peak state, most skilled at using various alien beast ingredients, rare flowers and herbs to prepare gourmet dishes. The Divine Generals of the city are regular visitors to the Fire Cloud Restaurant, I too am fond of this, later Brother Yan must savor it well."

"Alien Beast cuisine?"

"I really must try it."

Yan Chuan smiled, during early last year when he spent time with Fu Zhe and others, he had heard of the ’Fire Cloud Restaurant’ and the ’Black Butcher’, but he was financially strapped and couldn’t afford it. Moreover, at that time, Yan Chuan had only made a Basic Breakthrough, with low strength, even if he went to the Fire Cloud Restaurant, there was no way the Black Butcher would personally chef for him.

Black Butcher!

This is the Food God of Nanxiong City!

Those who have him personally cook, besides Innate Divine Generals, are very few, at that time Yan Chuan, even with Fu Zhe, wouldn’t qualify, Yan Chuan didn’t go to embarrass himself.

But now, coming back to Nanxiong City a year later, Yan Chuan still doesn’t have to go to the Fire Cloud Restaurant, yet the situation is quite different.

No matter how famous Black Butcher is, he doesn’t rank in Innate, Baili Changjing’s mere call makes him unable to not come.

This is Black Butcher.

As for She Bai and Zao Ci——
