The Legend of the Netherworld

In the vast, ancient forest, the moon rose quietly, like a shy beauty, gently drawing aside the veil of darkness. In the distance, the howling of wolves broke the tranquility of the moonlight like a bombshell.

Lin Xiao slowly opened his eyes. After a day of meditation and practicing the "Boundless Heart Sea Sutra", Lin Xiao was now full of energy and fighting spirit. Lin Xiao stood up, put the dagger on his waist and covered it with clothes, then walked out of the big tree hole.

It was already late at night. Looking up, he saw wisps of soft, milky moonlight filtering through the branches and leaves, illuminating Lin Xiao's face. "The moon is so round tonight," he muttered to himself. He simply ate some leopard meat, closed the bark covering the large tree hole, and covered it with weeds. Then, he headed alone towards the cliff.

At first, Lin Xiao's appearance did not attract much attention. Everyone thought he was just an ordinary human cultivator who was not afraid of death. It was not until Lin Xiao moved quickly towards the cliff using the Dragon Swimming Across the Seas technique that everyone slowly paid attention to this young man.

"He seems to be the human boy who tied me up and taught me to recite songs," a wild boar demon said in surprise.

More and more monsters recognized Lin Xiao, "Oh no, it's that sixth-level cultivator from Jiazi. He really went to find the Shadow Wolf King," cawed two crows flying in the sky.

At this time, monsters and some human monks at a high level also began to rush towards the cliff. No one wanted to miss this big show.

Lin Xiao arrived at the intersection of the path on the cliff. Lin Xiao used his hidden weapon, and a long sword instantly appeared in his hand, with the sword body flashing with cold light.

At this time, there were four wolf demons stationed at the intersection. One of them saw that the person coming was Lin Xiao who had escaped two days ago, and hurriedly turned back to the cliff to report.

The other three wolf demons held their swords in their hands, stared at Lin Xiao fiercely, and whispered "hmm" in their mouths, as if they were ready to attack Lin Xiao at any time, because Lin Xiao's song made the wolf demons lose face outside the ancient forest, and now Lin Xiao was their biggest enemy.

Lin Xiao held a long sword in his hand and stood in front of the three of them with an imposing manner. One of the wolf demons twitched his eyes and winked at the wolf demon next to him. The two wolf demons slashed at Lin Xiao with their swords.

"You couldn't help it?" Lin Xiao said jokingly, and used the Dragon Swimming Across the Seas to easily avoid the two big swords' attacks. The two wolves continued to swing their swords at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao used his phantom body skills to instantly appear behind the wolf demon who had just winked at him, and stabbed a sword into its heart. The two wolves were still a little dazed when they saw the afterimage left by Lin Xiao. As soon as they turned around, Lin Xiao's sword had left sword marks on their throats. Lin Xiao turned around and put away his sword, with a slight smile on his face.

The wolf demons on the cliff path saw Lin Xiao killing his companions in this way, and were about to jump down to fight Lin Xiao to the death. A command "Let it come up" came from the cliff, and the wolf demons had to make way, and Lin Xiao walked slowly forward.

The little demon who was blocked at the intersection and not allowed to go up said, "He really dares to go up." "Well done, he didn't bring shame to the human race," said the human monk.

Lin Xiao walked up with his head held high, and the wolf demons stared at him fiercely, breathing heavily through their noses, gritting their teeth. However, Lin Xiao didn't care at all and strode forward, while the wolf demons kept retreating to make way for Lin Xiao.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao's face darkened. He stopped and shouted angrily, "I'll kill you all later."

"Woof, woof, woof" Some wolf demons were frightened by Lin Xiao's actions and actually barked at him.

Lin Xiao showed a satisfied smile on his face and said contentedly: "It's so fun to tease dogs, hahahaha", and continued walking forward while laughing.

Lin Xiao came to the cliff platform again. At this time, the place was already surrounded by wolf monsters. It was a huge black mass. Lin Xiao was surrounded and moved forward until he came to the front of the Shadow Wolf King.

The situation was the same as before. The Shadow Wolf King had his back to Lin Xiao and only turned around when Lin Xiao was in front of him. The torches around him instantly lit up, and the entire cliff was as bright as day.

"It was you who made up the song to insult me ​​and our entire Ancient Forest Wolf Clan?" The Shadow Wolf King stared at Lin Xiao and said angrily.

"What I said is just the truth," Lin Xiao replied calmly.

After hearing the reply, the Shadow Wolf King's expression calmed down. He said, "That's a good fact. But your little tricks are fine for teasing the little demon, but you want to fight me one-on-one? I don't care about reputation. Strength is the only thing that matters." After that, the Shadow Wolf King waved his hand and said, "Go."

After hearing the order, the wolf demons around were about to pounce on Lin Xiao like an arrow released from a bow string, but Lin Xiao shouted "Slow".

The Shadow Wolf King said impatiently, "What else do you want to say?"

"The treasure map of the Ancient Forest is still with me. If you kill me, you will never be able to enter the core area, defeat the Monkey King, and become the real master of the forest in your life. You will stay on the outskirts of this Ancient Forest forever and be your damn Wolf King," said Lin Xiao.

The Shadow Wolf King waved his hand, signaling his men to retreat, and said, "How about this? Hand over the map, and I'll save your life."

"I'm not stupid. You just said you don't care about your reputation. If I fight you, you will still kill me," Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Then you can only die. If you die, I can just turn the outskirts of the ancient forest upside down," said the Wolf King.

Lin Xiao's lips curled up slightly as he said, "Since I dared to come here alone, you won't be able to find it even if you search the entire ancient forest without me." Lin Xiao continued, "How about we make a bet? If I lose, I'll tell you the location of the map and help you find the treasure. If you lose, you just have to give up your life."

The Shadow Wolf King carefully studied Lin Xiao, thinking, "He's only at the Jiazi Seventh Realm right now, and he's so arrogant! Today, I'm going to show him what true strength is." The Wolf King looked at the full moon in the sky and said confidently, "How do we play this game?"

Lin Xiao raised his sword and pointed it at the Wolf King, saying calmly, "A one-on-one duel. I'll sacrifice your life for my four brothers." Lin Xiao thought to himself, "First, I want to avenge them. Second, I just can't find a suitable sparring partner. I want to find a powerful demon to fight and improve my cultivation. Killing you would surely be beneficial."

The Wolf King shifted his gaze from the moon to Lin Xiao, stared at Lin Xiao and said loudly: "Just wait to set off with your four brothers today." The Wolf King waved his hand again and ordered the wolf demons to make way for an open space as a duel venue.

Lin Xiao then said, "Since we're going to let them retreat, let them all retreat to the small path on the cliff. Otherwise, I'm worried that your men will see that you're at a disadvantage and will intervene, affecting our duel."

The Ghost Wolf King gave a look to his two wolf lords on the left and right, and then all the wolf demons began to retreat down the cliff.

After a while, the only ones left on the cliff were Lin Xiao, the Wolf King and some burning pillars of fire.
