The Birth of Sword God

Chapter 439 380: The Cat Demon's Revenge

"Revenge from the Cat Demon?"

Chu Huaixu chewed on this strange task name, feeling that there was a lot of information hidden within it.

Of course, what it brought him more of was confusion.

"I've never even met this cat demon."

"Why does it have such an attitude towards me?"

"Why would it want revenge on me?"

It's unjust, I haven't done anything to you.

His temporary guess was, "This black cat and the Dao Ancestor's relationship might not be that harmonious."

"So, it's hating everything related to him?"

Because I'm considered as the heir to the Dao Ancestor, it includes me in its hatred.

But if we follow this line of thought, there are many places that don't make sense.

If this cat demon is seeking revenge on me because of this, if it truly hates the Dao Ancestor, why did it preserve the Fruit Position for a thousand years and then gift it to Zhong Ming?

Why is it now so obedient to the Dao Ancestor's words?

Moreover, from Chu Huaixu's listening to Pei Songji and the black cat's previous conversation, the cat even seemed to have murderous intentions towards him?

"But from its tone, there wasn't any hint of killing intent."

"It felt more like... stating a fact?"

"Coupled with its previous words, saying that as long as I don't die, any wounds are non-fatal..."

Chu Huaixu squinted his eyes, opened his Character Panel, and focused on the only two remaining Resurrection Coins.

"No, no, it shouldn't be, shouldn't be!" he muttered to himself.

Chu Huaixu then opened the task panel and focused on the task reward.

This inexplicable passive task, the reward was also quite inexplicable.

"A certain probability of unlocking Hidden Information."

"Is that it?"

"Nothing more?"

It's his first time encountering such a strange task reward.

Too briefly described, it didn't even specify which aspect the hidden information pertained to.

What's more surprising is that it's only a chance to obtain it.

"From my years of experience watching official announcements, often, the fewer the words, the bigger the issue!"

He thought the system task followed the same logic.

The more so, the more it implies that this hidden information might be quite useful.

"It could be a big secret!" thought Chu Huaixu.

Now, let's see how this cat demon plans to take revenge on him.

....

....

In the forest, Pei Songji looked at the plump black cat in front of him, uncertain of what it intended to do.

"Guardian, why did you grant the Fruit Position to Zhong Ming back then?" Currently, he was most concerned about matters related to his friend.

"Why ask about this?" The black cat tilted its head and looked at him.

Before he could answer, the black cat said, "This is not something you can know."

"I have sworn on my soul, there are certain things I must strictly adhere to." Its cat eyes looked at Pei Songji, answering quite honestly.

Pei Songji, being one of the top Cicada Chasing Man from Spring and Autumn Mountain, was one of the strongest in the world.

Yet in the black cat's mouth, he was deemed unworthy to know.

"Alright, I won't ask the Guardian about the Fruit Position affairs."

"Then can the Guardian tell me, when Zhong Ming visited you twice before entering the Origin Spirit Realm, did you have any other matters?"

The black cat recalled for a moment and said, "The first time he came to see me, was because I summoned him."

"Summoned him?" Pei Songji was taken aback.

At that time, Zhong Ming hardly left his residence, closed in the Daoist Sect.

And the Cat Guardian hadn't left Spring and Autumn Mountain either.

So, he quickly had an answer in his mind and asked, "Was it... a dream invasion?"

"Naturally, of course, it relied on Dream Invasion." The black cat said in a matter-of-fact tone.

This was its own innate divine technique.

With its strength, coupled with a trace of Origin Power within its body, even if separated by thousands of miles, it could send messages to people in the form of dream visitation.

It's equivalent to being able to transmit sound over vast distances!

In the Profound Yellow Realm, this was an incredible skill.

Outside the forest, Chu Huaixu listened to this and silently mused, "On Earth, a cellphone would suffice."

Pei Songji immediately pursued, "Did the Guardian summon Brother Zhong to simply give him the Fruit Position to take into the Origin Spirit Realm?"

"I don't know its purpose, I just know it needed to be given on that day." The black cat answered.

But it quickly added, "Maybe it was just meant for him to hand it to Chu Huaixu at this moment."

That's essentially stating, it was all the Dao Ancestor's arrangement.

"What was the purpose of the Guardian summoning Zhong Ming the second time?"

"It was him coming to seek the method of imprisoning the Primordial Spirit." The black cat answered.

"I had previously informed him that if faced with possession, this method could trap the Primordial Spirit within, but it'd likely lead to consciousness chaos and Sea of Consciousness collapse." The black cat continued.

"I just didn't expect he truly encountered possession and went mad for real." The cat demon sighed lightly.

Pei Songji couldn't help but sigh lightly upon hearing.

Outside the forest, Chu Huaixu pondered deeply while listening to the conversation.

"Did Zhong Ming actively seek it to learn the method of imprisoning the Primordial Spirit?" he thought.

Just then, the black cat jumped down from the boulder, intending to end the conversation: "Enough! I won't talk with you further on this."

"I must make sure Chu Huaixu suffers."

As soon as it finished speaking, it lifted its fluffy cat paw, then slammed it hard to the ground.

"Then let him dream!"

In the next moment, outside the forest, Chu Huaixu's body suddenly collapsed onto the ground.

In that instant, he fell into a deep sleep and even began snoring.

To be precise, he was entangled in a nightmare.

In the forest, Pei Songji became anxious immediately.

"Guardian, why did you suddenly use Nightmare on him!"

"He's a guest from afar, and he has important matters to ask." Pei Songji said helplessly.

"Don't bother me, this is between him and me!" The black cat glared at him, loudly.

"Chu Huaixu, oh Chu Huaixu, I've been waiting for you!" It said with a hint of pride in its heart.

In the great hall, Yuwen Huai stood up directly.

"Brother Jiang, it seems I must personally go."

"Guardian is inherently mischievous, making Brother Jiang laugh." Yuwen Huai replied.

Everyone felt there was something enigmatic and fishy.

But since the cat demon refused to speak, there's nothing that can be done.

We can't let some absurd incident unfold.

If anything were to happen to Chu Huaixu, they couldn't afford it.

He understood clearly, the cat demon's Nightmare was not simple.

If it truly harbored killing intent, some renowned cultivation figures in the Profound Yellow Realm would die in the dream!

Even he, Yuwen Huai, if careless, could fall victim.

Below the Ninth Realm, once dreaming, it could potentially be a dead end.

Once, an Eighth Realm cultivator accidentally slept himself to death.

It all depends on what this cat truly intends.

But Jiang Zhi raised his hand and laughed, "Since it's a dream, it doesn't matter."

"Let it have its way, hahaha."
