The True Ending of the Battle of Blizzard

Flower Fox was stunned. The other little foxes were still making noise, not caring who had rescued The Whole Village Eats that night.

"Perhaps the person who rescued The Whole Village Eats wasn't the Dragon Spirit at all."

Su Yun continued, "Perhaps that night there weren't just the nearby villagers, not just the Tong Family from the city, not just us. Perhaps there were others hidden nearby."

He served the food and sat down. "That night, I sensed four powerful Blood Essences, but there were only three on the opposing side. The other one was hidden. Perhaps this person's goal was to use The Whole Village Eats to release the Human Demon." (See Chapter Nineteen: Visitor from Shuofang City)

Flower Fox also sat down, asking doubtfully, "Release the Human Demon? How terrifying is the Human Demon? Wouldn't releasing it cause widespread suffering and chaos?"

Su Yun called the still arguing little foxes over and had them sit down to eat. "Perhaps that person's goal was precisely to cause chaos. Heroes emerge in troubled times, and some people want to be heroes."

He picked up a chopstick, grabbed a green bean, and chuckled, "However, this person still left a clue. When he used his Spiritual Power to rescue The Whole Village Eats from the Tong Family, he used a true dragon-type Spiritual Ability. Such exquisite Spiritual Abilities even made the Earth Official mistake it for the Dragon Spirit of the Dragon Burial Mound flying out."

Flower Fox suddenly understood and laughed, "There certainly aren't many people in the world who possess such exquisite true dragon Spiritual Abilities. This person who fears no chaos will be exposed by this Spiritual Ability sooner or later."

Su Yun put the green bean into his mouth, took a bite of rice, and suddenly sat there blankly, forgetting to chew the food in his mouth.

At the table, three little foxes were shoveling rice and arguing, discussing the fates of the Human Demon and their senior disciple brother, quite heatedly. Flower Fox kept urging them to eat, busy with various tasks.

Suddenly, Su Yun put down his bowl and chopsticks heavily, spitting out the rice and green beans in his mouth, exclaiming, "I know the true ending of the Blizzard Battle of the Dragon Burial Mound!"

The three little foxes were startled and looked at him in unison.

Flower Fox was also startled. Su Yun quickly chewed and swallowed the remaining rice and green beans in his mouth. He stood up excitedly, laughing heartily, "True dragon Spiritual Ability! Second Brother, it's a true dragon Spiritual Ability! The first page of that book talks about the Year of Yuanfeng Six, when a dragon fell into Tianshiyuan. The Martial Emperor ordered the Tiandao Academy scholar Ge Long. The Tiandao Academy scholar Ge Long dissected the dragon's corpse, and their research compiled sixteen volumes of true dragon cultivation methods and Spiritual Abilities."

He paced back and forth, punching his palm with his fist, speaking rapidly, "The Martial Emperor ordering the Tiandao Academy scholar Ge Long shows that the Yuanshuo Kingdom did not have top-tier true dragon cultivation methods and Spiritual Abilities. If they did, the quality wouldn't be high, otherwise, the Great Emperor of Yuanshuo wouldn't have personally issued the order. The Great Emperor personally issuing the order shows its importance."

"And that night, the true dragon Spiritual Ability made the Earth Official mistake it for the true dragon spirit of the Dragon Burial Mound intervening to save The Whole Village Eats. This shows that the true dragon Spiritual Ability of the person who acted could almost pass for the real thing!"

"Such Spiritual Abilities can only come from the sixteen volumes of true dragons obtained by the Tiandao Academy scholar Ge Long!"

Su Yun walked faster and faster, his thoughts becoming clearer and clearer. "We went to the Dragon Burial Mound and saw that the manuscripts of the Tiandao Academy scholars were all destroyed. These sixteen volumes of true dragon cultivation methods and Spiritual Abilities could not have been learned by anyone outside of the Tiandao Academy scholars at that time. Therefore, the one who saved The Whole Village Eats that night was either one of those Tiandao Academy scholars or his successor!"

"And there's only one possibility for this Tiandao Academy scholar!"

Su Yun suddenly stopped, saying solemnly, "The senior disciple brother!"

"In the Blizzard Battle of the Dragon Burial Mound, the senior disciple brother's battle with the Human Demon ended with the senior disciple brother winning, killing the recorder possessed by the Human Demon!"

"He was the only one who walked out of the Dragon Burial Mound alive!"

Flower Fox and the three little foxes listened, dumbfounded, staring at him speechlessly.

Su Yun pulled out his chair, returned to his seat, picked up his chopsticks, and held his bowl, saying calmly, "He sealed the Human Demon and the Dragon Spirit in the Dragon Burial Mound. He couldn't explain the death of the Tiandao Academy scholar to the Martial Emperor, and he didn't want to pass on the sixteen volumes of true dragons. So, he went into hiding, changing his name and appearance. Until one day, he felt his skills had reached a certain level, and his ambition could be realized. Then, he used The Whole Village Eats to release the Human Demon."

The four fox demons at the table shivered in unison. Flower Fox also felt a pang of fear and chuckled, "Little Yun, what you're saying is quite frightening. However, you've forgotten one thing. The Blizzard Battle of the Dragon Burial Mound happened 150 years ago. The senior disciple brother at that time would have been around twenty years old. If he's still alive today, wouldn't he be 170 years old?"

He laughed heartily, "Even monsters find it hard to live that long, let alone humans? Even if he's still alive, he'd be an ancient old man, barely able to breathe, how could he still wreak havoc on the world?"

Su Yun thought about it. It was indeed logical.

Qingqiu Yue also seemed unconvinced, arguing, "Little Yun Ge, the senior disciple brother was clearly a good person! You're thinking too badly of him!"

"Right! Little Yue is right!"

Hu Buping and Li Xiaofan both expressed their agreement. "Senior disciple brother is wise and valiant, defeating the Human Demon single-handedly. How could he be as bad as you say?"

Su Yun picked up food and ate, chuckling, "I'm just speculating an ending based on your lively discussion. Eat quickly! We need to wake up early to cultivate tomorrow!"

The next morning, before the sun had risen, they were already up and washed. They came to the cliff edge of Tianmen Town, facing the sea, breathing and meditating, waiting for the sunrise.

The little foxes were still arguing about the ending of the Blizzard Battle of the Dragon Burial Mound, while Su Yun was slowly activating the Great Furnace Transformation, practicing the Flood Dragon's Roar.

With each unorthodox move he performed, as the Origin Energy and blood circulated within him, four kinds of thunderous roars echoed from his body.

Then, the four thunderous roars converged into one, becoming the Flood Dragon's Roar.

The thunderous roar rolled, rising from above his Great Furnace and circulating from his heart and lungs to his limbs, reaching his palms and soles.

The thunderous roar vibrated, shaking his liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, large and small intestines, gallbladder, stomach, bladder, and the triple burner, promoting intestinal peristalsis, strengthening his heart and lungs, and improving his physical functions.

As he executed one unorthodox move after another, his Blood Essence circulation became faster and more intense. Gradually, with his every move, his Blood Essence appeared on the surface of his skin, transforming into dragon tattoos.

The dragon tattoos changed with his movements; different moves resulted in different dragon tattoos. On his palms alone, they would sometimes become dragon claw tattoos, sometimes dragon head tattoos, or even dragon tail tattoos.

After performing the thirty-six Flood Dragon's Roar unorthodox moves once, sweat steamed from his body. Impurities within his body and filth in his blood were expelled through his pores with the sweat.

During the final strike, Su Yun's Blood Essence even overflowed his body, appearing as sharp and ferocious dragon claws on the surface of his palms!

As his Blood Essence gradually calmed down, this manifested phenomenon slowly disappeared.

Flower Fox watched, full of envy, and ordered the three little foxes to cultivate immediately and stop arguing.

The three little foxes also hurriedly began to cultivate.

Su Yun calmed down, feeling his physical fitness improve and his internal Blood Essence increase significantly. His heart was filled with peace.

He had "observed" Jiao Shuao's transformation from a snake to a black flood dragon, gaining insight and allowing his Blood Essence to transform from Crocodile Dragon to Flood Dragon. Since achieving the Flood Dragon Transformation, his physical fitness had improved much faster than before.

In the past two days, he could clearly feel the improvement in his physical fitness!

Flower Fox, Qingqiu Yue, and the others also made rapid progress by observing Jiao Shuao's transformation. When they performed the Crocodile Dragon's Roar, it was like four small flood dragons, very fierce.

The sun rose from beneath the sea, its warm rays illuminating Su Yun's face. He breathed and meditated facing the dawn, absorbing the essence of the sun. This was transformed into scorching Origin Energy within his Great Furnace, which then circulated throughout his body, enhancing his physical functions.

"Once my body improves and can accommodate enough Blood Essence, my Blood Essence should be able to break through the Immortal Sword imprint in my eyes."

He revealed a smile. That day was drawing nearer.

A few more days passed, and the Barren Market opened.

These past two days, Su Yun and the four little foxes took advantage of the high tides on the fifteenth and sixteenth of September to go tide pooling and set traps, catching some seafood. They planned to exchange it for clothes and daily necessities at the market.

The market wasn't in Tianmen Town.

Although Tianmen Town was the largest town within a dozen miles, the nearby residents clearly held a deep "prejudice" against it. If the market were held in Tianmen Town, no "villager" would dare to attend.

It was always troublesome for Su Yun to go to the market. He had to carry the seafood and walk west for six or seven li along mountain paths, go around Mao Family Village, and cross Tianping Bridge to reach Barren Market Town.

--The villagers of Mao Family Village were cat demons hired from the band that played at Niu Family Village's funerals. These demons were moody, so Su Yun tried his best to avoid them.

Tianping Bridge was located between two cliffs, with a hundred-zhang abyss below. In the middle stood a solitary stone peak, rising higher than the cliffs on either side.

A stone bridge was built right over the stone peak. It wasn't too long or too short, just enough to span the distance between the two cliffs.

However, because the stone peak was so high, one end of the stone bridge rested on a cliff, while the other end would tilt upwards.

Therefore, to cross the bridge, many people had to gather at one end. Once there were enough people, they would walk towards the opposite side, weighing down the bridge end there, allowing them to reach the other side.

Every time Su Yun crossed the bridge, he had to wait by the side for a long time to gather enough people. Of course, in his heart, everyone crossing Tianping Bridge with him were humans. He didn't realize that he was surrounded by demons of all sizes, and he was the only human.

Standing among a crowd of demons, he was exceptionally conspicuous.

Although Barren Market Town was not easy to get to, Su Yun was still happy to go.

Besides being able to buy necessities like oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar at the Barren Market, he could also hear rumors from the outside world.

Near the Barren Market, many villagers had family members who left Tianshiyuan to seek work in the city. These people often brought back news from the outside, talking about the enviable city life.

The rumors of the city made Su Yun feel that it was a bizarre and fantastical place, far more exciting, dangerous, and strange than the countryside.

"It's not easy to make a living in the city!"

As Su Yun was exchanging his seafood for clothes, Silkworm Girl, who sold clothes, told him, "If you don't have skills, you can't survive in the city! The city isn't as humane as our countryside!"

The surrounding demons nodded in agreement, "City people have no humanity!"

"If Little Yun wants to go to the city, you can wait until the end of the year,"

Aunt Hou, who sold him soy sauce, said, "A few of my sons are working in the city and will come back for the New Year. You can ask them then."

"You also have to transform into a human, look like a human, to enter the city..." someone whispered nearby.

"He doesn't need to!"

"That's true."
