Legendary Divine Beast

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Sa Yun was taken aback, her expression somewhat hesitant.

This blood jade is clearly extraordinary, how could it be lost... Could it be that Qin Yi, seeing a predatory opportunity, deliberately used this method to steal it?

He hesitated and said, "This jade doesn't have any negative effects; it doesn't dissipate Blood Qi, nor does it have any impact on people..."

Cheng Cheng said, "The Blood Qi in this jade has at least the effect of stimulating demonic veins. If you leave it for too long, even the cats and dogs in your manor will turn into demons..."

Li Qingjun nodded. The feeling this jade gave her was quite similar to Dong Huazi's Demon Transformation Poisonous Mist, though it was countless times more advanced. The seemingly weak effect was merely due to the jade's incompleteness and loss of its inherent properties. Judging from Qin Yi's expression, the demon transformation effect was only a small part of the problem, concealing a far more serious situation.

Sa Yun shook his head again. "No demon transformation was detected."

"That's because you haven't had it for long," Qin Yi asked. "Where did you get it?"

Sa Yun said, "A few days ago, while cultivating at sea, I saw a floating corpse near the open ocean. Everything else on the corpse had been chewed up by Distant Sea Beast, but this part was intact, though only half of it remained. I don't know if it was already half there or if it was torn apart by the beasts..."

"You're really courting death," Li Qingjun said. "Since it's a fresh corpse, it means it's very likely something that some people have been fighting over recently. You dare to get involved with your meager cultivation?"

Sa Yun hesitated and said, "At least tell me what it's used for?"

Qin Yi solemnly said, "This involves some kind of blood taboo, and it is very likely a very evil blood sacrifice method, which must belong to the Demonic Path Sect."

Cheng Cheng watched for a while, then asked uncertainly, "Is this a sealing-breaking ritual? Or a summoning ritual?"

"Most likely," Qin Yi said. "It has more of a witchcraft element to it, and doesn't quite resemble Daoist methods. But what's certain is that this thing is of a very high level, and the secrets involved must be extremely important. If someone is looking for this thing..."

Sa Yun finally felt a chill run down her spine.

Blood sacrifices are something that immediately evokes a sense of evil, something that anyone with a modicum of self-awareness should never touch.

Just as I was hesitating, a commotion arose outside. "Don't let the monster escape!"

Sa Yun was startled and immediately turned to leave. Cheng Cheng was even faster than Qin Yi, and quickly darted out.

Then a young girl, her head covered by a cloak, ran in a very strange, almost leaping motion. Many guards and servants of the Sa Estate chased after her, shouting, "Where do you think you're going, you monster!"

The Sa Estate was heavily armed with mechanical devices, which the girl clearly had no knowledge of. Soon, she stepped on something, and flames suddenly erupted in front of her. The girl fell to the ground in panic, and her cloak fell down, revealing an ugly face and hairy ears.

Many of the servants in the mansion showed fear and retreated.

"It really is a monster." Sa Yun his hand. "Kill it!"

The guards swarmed forward, their swords and spears aimed directly at the girl.

Seeing that she was surrounded and unable to escape, the girl's eyes showed despair. "I didn't do anything wrong..."

Someone coldly replied, "Let's talk about that in the underworld!"

The swords and blades slashed down with incredible speed.

"Wait!" Cheng Cheng flicked her wrist, and the guards lost control of their swords, which suddenly slipped from their grasp.

At the same time, a flash of spear light appeared, and Li Qingjun had already positioned herself in front of the girl, holding her spear horizontally. "She was completely devoid of Blood Qi, indicating she hadn't injured anyone. How could she have died?"

Cheng Cheng paused for a moment, and the way she looked at Li Qingjun changed.

Without saying much, she reached out and grabbed the girl, who seemed to be pulled by a large hand, and floated into Cheng Cheng's hands.

"That's clearly a herbivorous monster," Cheng Cheng said coldly. "What did she do to you?"

Sa Yun couldn't help but say, "Immortal, this Non-Self my kind..."

Cheng Cheng's eyes widened in fury, and the might of a demon king suddenly erupted. "So, you're saying you're going to kill her just because she doesn't look like you?"

Sa Yun was taken aback and didn't know how to answer.

On a grand scale, killing demons is politically correct. On a smaller scale, it's true that this creature looks strange, and everyone is afraid of it; didn't you see the servants cowering in the corner, utterly terrified?

Cheng Cheng looked at the girl in her arms and touched her ear. "You are a herbivorous demon who was just forced to become a demon. Your Demon Power is extremely weak... I'm afraid even your transformation into a demon was not voluntary. They are the ones who are unreasonable."

The girl nestled in her arms, feeling a sense of warmth and peace from Cheng Cheng's presence. A heartfelt admiration welled up within her, and her fearful eyes gradually calmed down. She hid in Cheng Cheng without saying a word.

Sa Yun stamped his foot and said, "Immortal, this..."

Qin Yi said, "This is a monster that has just been awakened and hasn't even taken human form yet, and it's a herbivore... To be honest, it's all the blood jade's fault. It probably didn't even want to become a monster. It's completely out of the blue. How is it guilty?"

Ye Ling was in the same situation back then, a bewildered Vegetable Snake that inexplicably turned into a demon. Once you're involved, you can't help but be in danger.

Sa Yun frowned and remained silent.

Logically speaking, that's true; this monster became a monster entirely passively and committed no sin. But even so, what's wrong with killing it?

"Alright," Qin Yi said, "Our immortal sect also has spirit pets, so consider this monster adopted by me."

Since the people from the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace said so, Sa Yun shook his head and finally gave up. "Then let the Immortal handle it."

Cheng Cheng let out a soft sigh.

This time it wasn't the tiger demon that hurt people; the girl was completely harmless, yet she received the same treatment as the tiger demon.

Ye Ling is right... This kind of prejudice is like a wall, there's no reasoning with it, and the longer you stay in this atmosphere, the more you see, the more uncomfortable you become.

Fortunately, Qin Yi was different from others.

Surprisingly... Cheng Cheng turned to look at Li Qingjun, and found that she was different... She clearly disliked demons, and from her perspective, no one could say it was wrong to slaughter all the demons, but her kindness clearly outweighed her prejudice.

Qin Yi said his dream of becoming a chivalrous knight was awakened by Qing Jun. Indeed, they... are a perfect match.

Li Qingjun slowly walked over, patted the girl's head, and whispered, "There are also Ye Ling among the demons... I won't hold a grudge."

Cheng Cheng whispered, "Thank you."

Having rescued the girl, Qin Yi glanced at Sa Yun and said seriously, "The aftereffects of the Blood Jade are already showing. If you insist on keeping her here, all the living beings in your manor will turn into demons in a few days. Think it over carefully."

Sa Yun looked distressed. "It seems this thing really can't be kept... What a pity."

"What's there to regret? Is the item more important than your life?" Seeing his distressed expression, Qin Yi shook his head. "To be honest, letting you lose this item really saved you. But if I wanted it, it would seem like I was cheating you... How about this, given its value, I'll buy it from you with Top Grade Spirit Stone. You shouldn't have any objections, right?"

Sa Yun paused for a moment, then finally bowed deeply to the ground. "Immortal, you are fair in your dealings, I have nothing to say."

"A bit greedy, not on the same page," Qin Yi shook his head, tossed over the Spirit Stone, and ignored him.

Qin Yi was truly wealthy and powerful at this time. The Spirit Stone left behind by the Qian Yuan prisoner in the sky were all considered treasures in the mortal world, and they could easily be sold on famous spiritual mountains. Buying things with the old Spirit Stone from before was like a drop in the ocean.

After putting away the blood jade, he felt the place was utterly dull and lost even the desire to talk. Turning his head, he saw Cheng Cheng and Qing Jun surrounding the girl, touching her here and there, looking at her as if she was very cute.

Qin Yi, being somewhat visually oriented, didn't find the girl particularly cute; she wasn't his type. However, he was quite curious about her appearance. "What kind of demon is this again?"

Cheng Cheng also asked, "What kind of demon are you? I've never seen Elder Sister before. Can you transform into your true form?"

The girl obediently transformed back into her original form.

"..." Qin Yi stared wide-eyed.

It's white, looks like a sheep, or a camel, has a long neck, and is quite cute...

You dare to kill such a mythical beast? Are you even human?

Cheng Cheng asked curiously, "I really haven't seen you before. Judging from your expression, you know you?"

"You're so ignorant! This is a legendary super mythical beast." Qin Yi said seriously, "It's called Grass Mud Horse."

Cheng Cheng: "???"

Sa Yun sighed, "Immortal, please don't joke around. This is just an alpaca..."
