The Venerable Swordsman

Chapter 146 Have They Asked Me?

Under Bai Ze’s lead, they soon arrived at the depths of Mang Mountain, and the monster beasts retreated.

For them, entering Mang Mountain was returning to their home.

Bai Ze went to a cave with Ye Xuan. The cave was very large, five or six times larger than the gate of Jiang Country’s Imperial Capital.

When they arrived here, some monster beasts appeared around them. There were all sorts of monster beasts, some of which Ye Xuan had never seen before. These monster beasts moved toward Bai Ze and were very close to him. Bai Ze was also very happy.

At this moment, the monster beasts suddenly retreated to the side. From the cave, a middle-aged man walked out.

The middle-aged man was tall and sturdy, much larger than Ye Xuan. He looked particularly burly and strong.

Mang Mountain’s Monster King!

The eyes of the Monster King fell on Bai Ze, who then grinned. “Father, this is my big brother.”

Big brother!

The Monster King of Mang Mountain narrowed his eyes slightly. He turned his head and looked at Ye Xuan. At this time, Ye Xuan walked over and deeply saluted him. “Adopted father, it’s a pleasure to meet you!”

Adopted father!

Bai Ze was stunned.

The Monster King was also slightly stunned. “Adopted father? “What the hell?”

Ye Xuan said seriously, “Bai Ze and I are brothers. His adopted father is naturally my adopted father. Oh, by the way, I brought a little gadget. Please take it, adopted father.”

While saying so, he spread out his right hand and a tray appeared in his hand. On the tray were 10 fist-sized fruits. These fruits were red in white and exuded a clear fragrance.

Spiritual Peaches!

Seeing these fruits, the eyes of some monster beasts in the area suddenly turned bright.

A Spiritual Peach was equivalent to an Air-cut Pill. It could help monster beasts break through the levels. However, a Spiritual Peach was much more precious than an Air-cut Pill because it was much harder for monster beasts to upgrade than humans. Monster beasts were far behind humans. They could not refine pills or weapons.

Compared with humans, they were not innovative enough, but they had physical advantages since they were born, such as their lifespan and physique. If at the same level, humans generally could not defeat monster beasts.

Monster beasts generally improved over time. In addition to accumulating with time, they could also upgrade with treasures from heaven and earth. But these kinds of treasures were very precious.

The Spiritual Peach was one of them. One peach was worth about two million gold coins.

Ye Xuan gave 10 at a time, which was really very generous.

The reason why he had come to Mang Mountain one day later was that he was looking for Spiritual Peaches. It was all thanks to Drunken Fairy Building, or it would have been difficult to find them in such a short time even if he had money.

Mang Mountain’s Monster King glanced at Ye Xuan and was about to speak. Ye Xuan suddenly took out a golden card and handed it to the Monster King. “Predecessor, this card has 100 million gold coins in it. It’s a gift from me and Bai Ze!”

100 million gold coins!

The Monster King’s face suddenly changed a bit. 100 million was not a small number. In Mang Mountain, it was a great fortune. The entire Mang Mountain might not be able to get 100 million gold coins!

Off to the side, Bai Ze was also a bit shocked because he did not expect that Ye Xuan would give 100 million gold coins to Mang Mountain...

Mang Mountain’s Monster King looked at Ye Xuan for a long time, and finally, he said, “Why?”

Ye Xuan said seriously, “Without the help of Mang Mountain, we would have died in the Tang Country. I, Ye Xuan, and Canglan College will remember this favor forever.”

He never took others’ help for granted. If others helped him, the favor should be remembered forever. And he should pay something in return whenever he could!

If there was a favor, he would return it. And if there was enmity, he would definitely get revenge!

Mang Mountain’s Monster King was silent for a moment and then said, “Come in and take a seat!”

After that, he turned and walked toward the cave.

Ye Xuan handed the golden card and Spiritual Peaches to Bai Ze and then gestured. Bai Ze was hesitant. “Bandit Ye, this...”

Ye Xuan kicked Bai Ze in the ass. “What’s with all this nonsense? Hurry up and being it to him!”

Bai Ze glanced at Ye Xuan and then grinned. “Okay! I’ll listen to big brother!”

After that, he quickly walked toward Mang Mountain’s Monster King in the distance.

Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled before he followed him.

The cave was large and wide, and there were some human utensils. This made Ye Xuan feel quite surprised.

The three people sat around a table with some food and wine.

Mang Mountain’s Monster King looked at Ye Xuan. “Lil Ze said that you want to discuss something with me.”

Ye Xuan nodded. “I want to cooperate with you, predecessor. My Canglan College wants to recruit a group of monster beasts.”

“Recruit monster beasts!”

The Monster King’s eyes were slightly narrowed. “To be slaves?”

As the voice fell, the atmosphere in the area instantly became tense.

Ye Xuan shook his head. “No, to be students. If the monster beasts join my college, they will be students of Canglan College and can study and practice with human students. They will enjoy the same amount of cultivation resources as the other students. They will be equal to human students in my Canglan College!”

Hearing this, the Monster King was a bit moved!

“Students!”

In this Qing Continent boundary, there had been Canglan College and Cangmu College. However, these two colleges had never recruited monster beasts as students. Even if there were some monster beasts in the colleges, they all had been slaves, not students at all. It could be said that the two colleges looked down on monster beasts. Maybe all human beings somewhat despised monster beasts!

They thought that monster beasts were just beasts or animals. If it weren’t for the powerful strength of the monster beasts, they would have disappeared from this world long ago.

Now, Ye Xuan actually wanted to recruit monster beasts as students!

This had never happened in Qing Continent!

Mang Mountain’s Monster King looked at Ye Xuan. “Are you serious?”

Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes. If they join Canglan College, they will be members of Canglan College, and I will treat every one of them equally. Of course, you should know that I have very many enemies, and my ambitions are quite large. I want to make Canglan College the best college in the Qing Cang World. Therefore, if they join Canglan College, for them, it will be an opportunity. An opportunity for improvement, but it is also accompanied by danger.”

Mang Mountain’s Monster King looked at Ye Xuan and did not speak.

Ye Xuan did not speak. He had already said everything he should say very frankly. Now, it was all on the Monster King.

At this time, Bai Ze suddenly said, “Father, I think this is an opportunity for our Mang Mountain. Those brothers should go out and see the world. The world outside is really big. The people outside are really strong.”

After seeing the strength of Ling Han and others, Bai Ze and Mo Yunqi had deeply recognized their own shortcomings.

Really strong!

And Ling Han and others in Central Divine Continent were not at the top.

There were really a lot of incredible talents!

After a while, Mang Mountain’s Monster King looked at Ye Xuan. “Are you sure you can treat every one of them equally?”

Ye Xuan nodded. “Yes. Moreover, I will train them with great effort to make them stronger.”

The Monster King said again, “It is difficult to tame monster beasts. If they enter Canglan College, they will very likely be unconstrained or even act at will. How will you cope with that?”

Ye Xuan smiled. “As long as they can beat me, they can do whatever they want. If they can’t beat me, they have to be obedient. Otherwise, I will beat them!”

The Monster King was silent for a moment and then nodded. “Well, Mang Mountain will cooperate with your Canglan College. What are the requirements for the monster beasts to join Canglan College?”

Ye Xuan said in a deep voice, “They must be in the Secluding Realm.”

The Monster King got up and walked outside the cave. “Come with me!”

Ye Xuan and Bai Ze quickly followed.

Outside the cave, the Monster King suddenly stamped his right foot on the ground. In an instant, the whole ground trembled fiercely. Soon after, the surroundings suddenly started to shake. After a while, a large group of monster beasts suddenly came over.

There were all kinds of monster beasts.

The Monster King glanced at the surroundings. “Secluding Realm beasts, stand out!”

As his voice fell, more than 20 monster beasts went in front of Mang Mountain’s Monster King.

Ye Xuan glanced at a total of only 27 Secluding Realm monster beasts, which were considered to be the elites of Mang Mountain.

The Monster King looked at Ye Xuan. “A total of 27 monster beasts. The rest are mostly Ascending Realm monster beasts.”

Ye Xuan nodded and then walked up to the group of monster beasts. The monster beasts were also looking at Ye Xuan, but there was no hostility in their eyes.

Ye Xuan scanned around. Finally, he selected three Ascending Realm monster beasts. These three monster beasts were at the peak of the Ascending Realm. Their aura was rich, which was the sign of a breakthrough!

30 monster beasts!

Ye Xuan looked at the Monster King, and the Monster King glanced at the monster beasts and then pointed to Ye Xuan. “From now on, you have to obey his orders. If you disagree, challenge him now.”

Human beings only respect the strong, the same could be said for monster beasts!

Ye Xuan wanted to recruit these powerful monster beasts, so he had to make these monster beasts submit.

This was also a test for Ye Xuan.

If Ye Xuan was not strong or incredible enough, he would not let his monster beasts go to Canglan College.

In the field, the monster beasts faced each other. Finally, a monster beast went to the front of Ye Xuan.

This monster beast’s shape was like a lion. It had a huge body and was dozens of meters tall. When it approached Ye Xuan, Ye Xuan seemed to be very small.

This monster beast looked down at Ye Xuan. Suddenly, it raised its paw and slammed it down toward Ye Xuan.

When the palm fell, it was like a hill falling, and the powerful palm momentum directly made the earth under Ye Xuan’s feet crack instantly.

“Poom!”

As a blast sounded, the monster beast directly flew away hundreds of meters!

All the monster beasts around were stunned. Soon after, they all looked at Ye Xuan, who was still in the same place and had not moved.

On Ye Xuan’s body, a mysterious force slowly receded.

It was the Earth Power. Just now, he had used the Earth Power. If he hadn’t, he could not have crushed the beast with his physical strength alone. And if he used the sword, there would be injuries or death.

If the Lingxiu Sword slashed at the beast, it would not have been able to resist it at all!

Ye Xuan walked to the group of monster beasts. “Is someone still not convinced?”

The group of monster beasts looked at each other, and no one came out.

Ye Xuan turned his head and looked at the Monster King. The Monster King looked at the monster beasts. “Take them away!”

Ye Xuan did not stay in Mang Mountain. After 15 minutes, he and Bai Ze left Mang Mountain with 30 monster beasts and went straight to Frontier City to meet Ling Han and others.

On the way, the Sound-transmitting Stone in Ye Xuan’s arms suddenly rang. Ye Xuan stopped, and after a while, his face suddenly turned gloomy.

Bai Ze looked at Ye Xuan. “What’s wrong?”

Ye Xuan looked up into the distance. “The Dayun Empire’s messenger is here. He said that the Dayun Emperor wants to take the Ninth Princess of our country as an imperial concubine!”

While saying this, he put away the stone and sneered. “Concubine your ass! Did they ask for my permission?”
