Baby with Daoist Monarch System

Not long after the aura of the Snake King rose, several equally powerful auras suddenly soared into the sky, forming a barrier that forcibly suppressed the demonic aura of the Snake King, confining it deep in the Great Mountain.

Moments later, two terrifying auras suddenly appeared in the bamboo forest. The four Guardians—Jackal, Wolf, Tiger, and Leopard—sensed the two auras and respectfully called out, "Welcome, General Tiger and General Bear!"

There appeared a massive tiger, its entire body a fiery red, with eyes filled with endless ferocity. Its tail, like a python, constantly swayed behind it.

Beside General Tiger was a massive black bear, standing a full ten meters tall, with a necklace made of dozens of human heads around its neck.

General Tiger and General Bear paid no heed to the four Guardians kneeling to the ground and headed directly to the entrance of the cave where the Snake King slumbered, their eyes full of fervor.

General Tiger said, "Is the Snake King about to emerge? Prepare to rally the old soldiers for an even grander battle!!"

General Bear replied, "During the Snake King’s slumber, we have been bound to this Great Mountain, far too repressed. I’ve long desired to massacre the entire King of Yue and turn them into blood food!"

General Tiger scoffed, "Hmph! Those people of the King of Yue only use despicable means, forcing the Snake King into slumber, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise."

"As long as the Snake King awakens this time, it is destined to prove the Celestial Calamity. The King of Yue is bound to become our defeated foes!!"

General Bear declared, "Following the Snake King will surely lead to great achievements. At that time, the name of the Snake King will resound across the entire land. Anyone hearing the name of the Snake King will surely be shrouded in fear!"

General Tiger glanced at the pitch-black cave, feeling a bit fortunate, and continued, "However, the Snake King shouldn’t have awakened yet; it was only disturbed by something, causing it to turn over."

"Fortunately, we reacted quickly and immediately suppressed the Snake King’s aura, preventing it from being discovered by those people of the King of Yue."

Then, General Tiger and General Bear turned their gaze to the four demon guardians kneeling on the ground and asked, "We were all in seclusion just now. What happened just now?"

For the Snake King, still in slumber, to turn over, it must not be a trivial matter. It is currently a special period, and no accidents can occur.

Immediately, the four Guardians informed the two generals of the recent explosion and aura.

Upon hearing this, the two demons fell into deep thought.

General Tiger glanced at the still slumbering Snake King and said, "For the Snake King to be disturbed enough to turn over, it seems it’s really about to awaken. In this half year’s time, before the Snake King fully awakens, don’t enter seclusion, instead patrol around the Great Mountain."

General Bear agreed, "As the time for the Snake King’s awakening draws nearer, the commotion will also become greater. If discovered by the King of Yue, it would all be for naught. We must always be ready."

General Tiger comforted, "Don’t worry, old bear. This borderland area, without even a few cultivators, has long been abandoned by the King of Yue. Even if something happens, the King of Yue won’t know."

"What we fear is that there exists a mysterious presence in this Great Mountain..."

At this point, General Tiger and General Bear exchanged glances, seemingly thinking of something ominous, but soon their expressions returned to calm.

General Bear said, "Even if there is, once the Snake King awakens, it can sweep away everything. In a place abandoned by the King of Yue, what powerful beings could there be? Speaking of powerful beings, there is only the Snake King, and it will always be only the Snake King!!"

General Tiger agreed, "Indeed, once the Snake King awakens and proves the Celestial Calamity, the world will be ours to roam!!"

The two generals had immeasurable faith in the Snake King.

Subsequently, General Tiger and General Bear personally stood guard at the entrance of the cave where the Snake King slumbered, and the four Guardians took over the tasks of the previous little demons, pouring the beast blood and bones entirely into the blood-red lake.

At this moment, Xu Ran and Xiao Bai were utterly unaware of what was transpiring deep within the bamboo forest of the Great Mountain. The aura of the Snake King was thoroughly suppressed, so they could not sense it.
