Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 622 - 42: Tang Wudi vs Tang Heniu_2
Bai Mansheng sensed something amiss and asked,
"What's the matter?"
"It seems like something has gone wrong in Nether Valley."
"What has happened?"
Tang Xian stood up and said,
"Yuan Wu, you and Xiao Jiu stay here and wait for us, and don't wander off no matter what."
He then said to Bai Mansheng,
"Let's go out and explore."
While speaking, Tang Xian packed some food into his tool bag. Bai Mansheng watched this scene, puzzled and said,
"What has happened?"
"I've sniffed out a scent; it looks like one of my guesses was correct. Let's set out for Nether Valley now."
Bai Mansheng and Tang Xian were both very decisive, and they quickly made their way towards the direction of Nether Valley.
To Bai Mansheng's surprise, Tang Xian had killed quite a few creatures in these past few days. Although he claimed there were no gains on the surface, his speed and strength had actually improved.
She had been deliberately slowing down to accommodate Tang Xian, but it was clear that Tang Xian had gotten much faster.
Tang Xian didn't mention these things, as under the Great Number Law, he indeed gained some ability enhancements, but they were abilities he considered inconsequential and not critical.
Tang Xian felt his strength was improving too slowly, but to Bai Mansheng, this was an unimaginably rapid pace of progress.
"So what exactly happened?" As they got closer to Nether Valley, Bai Mansheng also sensed something was off.
Tang Xian said,
"This place is indeed one of the strongholds of the Ten Thousand Beasts Court."
Bai Mansheng was shocked.
"That's why I didn't rashly approach the other day. After all, the Judgment Chiefs of the Ten Thousand Beasts Court are quite powerful.
And just now, a scent of Long-eared Ancient Monkeys appeared; their demeanor looked as if they were fleeing. The presence of Long-eared Ancient Monkeys convinced me that this place is indeed the sacred site of the Ten Thousand Beasts Court."
"Why are they fleeing?" Bai Mansheng was puzzled.
"Obviously, something has gone wrong inside. This place looks very much like a prison; it's surrounded by dead things. Those piles of white bones are like a group of creatures that failed to escape from here. Sometimes an enemy's enemy can be a friend; we might as well go in and have a look."
Bai Mansheng said,
"Are you not worried about encountering a Judgment Chief?"
"If a Judgment Chief had been here, the group of Long-eared Ancient Monkeys wouldn't be fleeing in such panic," Tang Xian stated confidently. Bai Mansheng thought to herself that she really had been following Tang Xian for too long and had grown too lazy to think. It seemed only when with someone like Tang Feiji would her brain need to engage and become clever.
The two of them sped up and soon reached Nether Valley, rushing into the poison fog.
Even within the fog, Tang Xian could hear a hysterical, furious roar.
Bai Mansheng and Tang Xian were unafraid of the poison fog and charged straight towards the huge castle atop the valley.
After emerging from the dense fog, the true visage of the castle was finally revealed.
As another sacred site of the court, Tang Xian was finally certain that this castle was built by the Zudun Giant. The style was too similar to that of the last sacred site's castle, albeit it appeared slightly smaller.
He and Bai Mansheng didn't delay. His extreme gloves shot out claw-hooks, and with ease, he climbed up to the entrance of the castle.
The castle's huge stone doors had been left open, just in time for them to see a Long-eared Ancient Monkey screaming as it ran out.
It didn't even stop to think why there would be humans here.
Looking inside the gate was a spacious hall. In the hall, Tang Xian didn't see any huge monsters, but a strange creature resembling a 'Naraku Oni' from ancient Tokyo ghost stories.
This black 'Naraku Oni' had blood-red eyes and was in a state of irrational frenzy.
Its hand, akin to a ghostly claw, was covered with the flesh and blood of Long-eared Ancient Monkeys. Around this hellish demon lay the remnants of numerous Long-eared Ancient Monkeys.
The scene was so gruesome that even Bai Mansheng furrowed her brows.
A bad premonition suddenly surged in Tang Xian's heart.
His eyes had already popped up with the creature's panel, but he didn't know what it was. Only by looking at some of the data, it was clear the monster was gripped by a vengeful rage.

Dislikes Lei Xiao?
Although the scents had become very mixed, from their reactions, Tang Xian immediately thought of Lei Xiao.

He certainly knew Lei Xiao was not supposed to look like this; no known creature did.
Tang Xian thought for a moment, he had to figure this out before the Judgment Chief of the Ten Thousand Beasts Court returned.
"Trap it."
Bai Mansheng understood and instantly, a cold breath filled the entire hall.
The temperature in Nether Valley dropped significantly as well.
Bai Mansheng naturally didn't recognize the creature, but she could feel that its strength was a level lower than her own.
The frost was about to ensnare the demon in an instant, countless sharp ice spears blocking its path forward.
What happened next, however, stunned both Tang Xian and Bai Mansheng.
The demon charged through as if blind to the sharp ice spears. Those spears, strong enough to pierce the defenses of purple-tier creatures, couldn't penetrate the demon's hide, not even leaving a scratch.
"Truly astonishing defensive power," Bai Mansheng commented.
The demon roared in rage,
[Court's lapdogs, not a single one shall live!]
