Wait a minute, where is my master?

Faced with a scene where help was sought after no more than five sentences were exchanged,

the little Taoist felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

He looked at Mr. Bai in front of him, who, despite being reminded not to stand on ceremony, still addressed him with the respectful "you".

He could only helplessly sigh in his heart, then he spoke.

"Uncle, just say what you need to say. Little White and I are not strangers; we will definitely help if we can,"

The burly man saw the person the temple master referred to in the prophecy emphasizing his deep connection with his own daughter, and a trace of doubt arose in his tiger-like eyes.

However, this sliver of doubt did not last even a moment before it was scattered by a loud and casual voice.

"Yeah, Dad, the temple master and I, who are we to each other, right? You don't need to be so formal!"

Little White said this as she stepped forward, apparently meaning to pat her old man on the shoulder. But when she raised her hand, she realized she couldn't reach and, with a disgruntled expression, she put her hand back down.

"Alright, since that's the case, I won't bother with so much formality then, little Taoist..."

Mr. Bai, under the repeated emphasis from Jin Xu and Shiqi, cast aside the courteous phrases he had prepared for a long time and spoke directly about the current predicament of the Snow Wolf Clan.

Several breaths passed.

Mr. Bai had finished explaining the difficulties and was about to discuss his proposed solution with Jin Xu,

when he was suddenly interrupted.

"Wait a moment, Uncle.

"The reason for your current concern for the safety of the Snow Wolf Clan is because the Origin of the Demon Realm has chosen the Little Golden Crow Clan as the Origin Delegates, and your two clans have had longstanding grudges, so you fear they will trip you up when the Origin selects the five protected Demon Clans, right?"

"Exactly.

"When the Origin of the world revealed that it would hold a grand event at West Pole Peak and selected the Little Golden Crow Clan as the Origin Delegates, although I felt somewhat aggrieved that they were chosen while my Snow Wolf Clan was not.

"But I've never worried that they would act unfairly.

"After all, since their clan was chosen as the Origin Delegates by the world's Origin, their every move would surely be under surveillance by the world's Origin.

"But old... I never expected that, after our clan moved here, we would face obstruction from the Little Golden Crow Clan at every turn. From minor trivial matters to the important cultivation resources distributed by the Demon Realm's Origin, they would deliberately create obstacles for our clan whenever they had the chance.

"Now it's still only the stage of strengthening the tribes through cultivation, and they dare to do this. If the official evaluation begins, those responsible for assisting the evaluation will surely find ways to exclude our clan from those five tribes."

Mr. Bai grew increasingly irate as he spoke, his enormous fists creaking with the force of his grip.

If it were according to the Snow Wolf Clan's usual practice of not taking any nonsense,

they might have gone to war with the Little Golden Crow Clan in any other situation!

But now, with circumstances being stronger than his will, Mr. Bai, as the Clan Leader, had to suppress his own temper, and sometimes he even had to step in to prevent certain hot-headed clan members from acting rashly.

Nevertheless, the burly man didn't stay angry for long before he calmed his emotions and continued to explain to Jin Xu standing before him the solution he had thought of on the spot.

"And since you, little Taoist, have crossed over from the Nine Provinces, you must be able to return to the Nine Provinces. So, I take the liberty of asking if you can take the entire Snow Wolf Clan back..."

"Hold on, Uncle.

"Didn't Sixth Uncle explain what we few came here to do when he sent you the message?"

Jin Xu cut off the other party, asking rather surprised.

Upon hearing those words, the strong man opposite him, who had originally been brimming with righteous indignation, now showed a touch of embarrassment on his face.

"Ahem... I've mentioned it, and even Sixth Uncle has said it; this kid Zhong Fei even persuaded me to move back to the original clan territory.

"But I think, compared to rescuing the Demon Realm, it would actually be much easier for you, little Taoist, to just send the Snow Wolf Clan to the Nine Provinces. Perhaps you could consider..."

As Mr. Bai spoke to this point, Jin Xu roughly understood.

Even though he had Sixth Uncle deliver the message clearly that they were here to rescue the Demon Realm,

The Sixth Uncle, who had not seen Jin Xu's strength, nor the Uncle on the fur blanket just now, and now Little White's father in front of him,

All obviously did not believe he was there to save the world.

"That's right, someone popping out of nowhere claiming to save the world, resolving a cataclysm that even the World Origin said can only shelter five tribes—it does sound a bit fantastical indeed.

"However, combining what Little White's father just said, I am now even more certain that there is something wrong with the Little Golden Crow Clan.

"At this moment, I even start to doubt the World Origin of the Demon Realm..."

While the little Taoist was pondering, he saw Mr. Bai in front of him still trying to put it mildly, urging him to transport tens of thousands of 'jumbo-sized Huskies' of the Snow Wolf Clan to the Nine Provinces Realm; Jin Xu gently extended his palm.

A Golden Thunderbolt quietly emerged along his arm.

"Uncle, although I should be able to do what you suggested, even if I took all the Snow Wolves back to the Nine Provinces, they would not escape the cosmic tide.

"By the way, Uncle, about the cause of the great calamity, you probably haven't had a chance to be informed by Second Uncle, have you?"

When the Golden Thunderbolt appeared, Mr. Bai's persuasive words stopped abruptly, and after hearing the little Taoist's doubts about the Origin Delegates and the World Origin potentially having issues, he felt momentarily overwhelmed.

Fortunately, as Xue Yi was taken aback by the terrifying Golden Thunderbolt entwining Jin Xu's arm, he immediately communicated to his elder brother in front of him the content of the conversation overheard on the fur blanket.

In just a few moments,

The strong man understood the cause and terror of the great calamity, and he also learned that the Nine Provinces Realm had to face this cosmic catastrophe as well.

"So this means, the grand gathering is just a farce?

"If even the main world like the Nine Provinces Realm can't smoothly cross the cosmic tide, then the Demon Realm, a small world that has formed from the ruins for merely a thousand years, stands even less of a chance.

"But the Origin of the Demon Realm did issue a warning, and it also sent us revelations about the grand gathering.

"It is well-known that the prosperity of the living creatures within a realm is closely related to the strength of its World Origin; what then could it aim to achieve by orchestrating such a plot? If all the living beings in the Demon Realm die out, it itself would gradually decline and even collapse into a dead realm."

Mr. Bai was filled with confusion in his tone.

He was not foolish; he had simply been kept in the dark due to a lack of information.

Having witnessed the terrifying power Jin Xu effortlessly exuded and affirmed that a person of such cultivation would not stoop to deceiving him, and having learned about the cause of the great calamity from him, it was only natural that more questions arose in his mind.

"There indeed are many peculiar points in this affair, but I think that if I could meet the Origin Delegate in person, I should be able to clarify some things.

"Uncle, do you know where the Clan Leader of the Little Golden Crow Clan might be at the moment?

"If you're not sure, just a description of their appearance would do."
