128 Saint Beast Bai Wudi And Bai Tian (1/2)
Heavenly Demon Sect, The Guardian Moutain Peak.
Upon hearing Ling Xiao's words, Ling Chen had a surprised expression on his face before his mouth curved upward, revealing an evil smile.
He already knew sooner or later that the Saint Tiger Demon Beast Clan would find out about the whereabouts of Hu'er. It's not like he did anything to hide her.
So far, Ling Chen hasn't told Hu'er anything about her past. She didn't know anything about her family. She didn't know who her father was nor the sacrifice her mother had made to save her.
After Bai Tian, who is Hu'er's father, had massacred the entire Nine-Tail Fox Clan and the death of her mother, Hu'er had now become the only surviving member of the Nine-Tail Fox Clan in the Heaven Desolate Region.
All of these were things that Hu'er was still unaware of and Ling Chen didn't plan on telling her any of them. Ling Chen already knew how painful it's like to feel all alone in this damn world and he didn't want Hu'er to ever go through that.
Just like he promised her mother before her death, he would take care of Hu'er like she was her own family and whether it was God or the Devil, he would devour anyone that tried to harm her. He remembered that promise as clear as the day. It was as if he had made it yesterday and he intended to keep that promise no matter the cost.
Luckily, Hu'er had fallen asleep like the other five little devils after she had eaten a bunch of medicinal pills and spiritual fruits. Otherwise, Ling Chen didn't know how she would react when she saw her father for the first time. Hu'er was like the other five little devils, she grew stronger by absorbing and refining the energy of the medicinal pills as well as the spiritual fruits.
Back to the matter, this sudden visit just of Bai Wudi and Bai Tian had too much meaning hidden within it. Ling Chen could not help but think about it deeply.
He didn't know whether they came here for Hu'er or for the key of the Great Luo Martial God's Tomb. They could even come for both.
Though he wasn't the one personally stealing the key from them. They must have thought that he had it as he was the last person seeing Muyan alive.
Whether it was Hu'er or the key, Ling Chen would never give up any of them, and his refusal could also spark a race war, a war between the demon beasts and the humans in the Heaven Desolate Region.
Bai Wudi wasn't only the Saint beast of the Tiger Clan but also the ruler of all the terrestrial or earthbound demon beasts in the Heaven Desolate Region while the Eagle Saint Beast controlled all the Aerial demon beasts.
In the Heaven Desolate Region, the earthbound or the terrestrial demon beasts far surpassed the aerial demon beasts by a large margin. As such, one could say that Bai Wudi was the uncrowned emperor of the Demon Beast Territory in the Heaven Desolate Region.
A race war between the demon beasts and the humans wasn't something that Ling Chen wanted. He's pretty sure that with his presence, the human would eventually win this war but the price would be too great for them to bear.
Furthermore, because of his encounter with that mysterious and powerful expert not too long ago, Ling Chen realized that the water of the Heaven Desolate Region wasn't as shallow as he thought.
According to his father, some of the great influences within the Heaven Desolate Region have ties with some of the other super powerful influences in the Heaven Suppression Region.
This meant that it wouldn't a surprise if the Tiger Clan had some sort of relationship with some super influence in the Divine Demon Beast Region. As such, he has to be very careful when dealing with them.
\”Little Brother, tell father to send our guest to the Guardian Moutain Peak. I'll receive them alone.\” Ling Chen said with a determined look on his face after he inwardly made his decision.

The sun slowly rose into the sky and the sky was free from clouds, signaling good weather. The warm sunlight had begun to purge out the bone-piercing chill of the morning.
Noon was about to arrive.
At this moment, inside a well-decorated room within the villa, Ling Chen sat in what appeared to be a small sofa with both Fang Lan and Ling Lei standing behind him like two bodyguards.
Sitting in front of him were two individuals. One of them appeared to be around forty years old with a slender physique.
