when!
A resounding clang of metal clashing echoed across the summit of Mount Yunmeng!
A violent energy fluctuation occurred half a meter in front of Dansheng, and the terrifying energy generated by the collision spread around, instantly shattering Dansheng's robes.
He thought he would be thrown back into the abyss by this energy, but it felt as if something very sturdy was firmly supporting him from behind.
He opened his eyes, and the fierce fox tail and corpse energy that had attacked him a moment ago had been repelled by the violent collision!
Was I rescued?
Lian'er's gaze suddenly sharpened as she looked at the young man behind Dansheng, her vertical pupils contracting sharply in her eyes.
My current cultivation level is that of the Earth Immortal Realm!
There are countless powerful beings in the entire universe!
The fox tail is the Nine-Tails Clan's ultimate weapon, not to mention the corpse energy following closely behind from their ancestor. Both of these energies are emitted by powerful Earth Immortal, and it's hard to believe that anyone in the world can withstand them!
But the current situation left her no choice but to believe it. She and her ancestor had used their full strength in two moves, yet they were repelled by this person with a single blow using some unknown weapon!
The young man had a cold and stern expression, and his eyes gleamed with a faint golden light as he looked at me with disdain. What was most unsettling was the striking crimson color on his lips!
Who is this?!
Lian'er stared intently at the young man. It seemed he was going to protect Dansheng? Could this be a contingency plan left by Yuan Gong? Then why didn't this person appear when I took the Heavenly Book earlier?
Having lost her momentum in the first attack, Lian'er knew that things were hopeless; at this moment, the three forces had become four!
The ancestor had already leaped into the abyss. His own all-out attack was blocked, Dansheng was protected. Looking back, the repelled corpse energy had shrunk into a ball, it seemed they were waiting for the ancestor to return.
The two foxes were originally just using each other. She was forced to go up the mountain by her ancestor to take the first step in finding out about Yuan Gong, and she didn't stay on the mountain. This step was extremely dangerous and almost cost her her life.
Forced by the secret techniques of his ancestors, he had no choice but to go up the mountain to lure Dansheng, and upon obtaining the Heavenly Book, he immediately improved his cultivation level.
Leaving behind the Divine Brush was a clever scheme. After the ancestor obtained the Heavenly Book he brought back, his ego would surely inflate. And after learning that there was no restriction from Yuan Gong on the mountain, he would be even more determined to seize Mount Yunmeng as his own Daoist temple.
The Divine Brush was left for Dansheng so that the ancestor could be the mantis stalking the cicada, while Egg-born would be the oriole behind!
After all, the ancestor had already obtained the Heavenly Book, and she would definitely feel a strong possessive desire after seeing the Divine Brush!
This is a feeling of being anxious about gains and losses. As long as a person gets a hope or a thing, countless desires and possessiveness will arise, and they may even go so far as to become insane.
With just a little trick, Lian'er cleverly exploited the desires in human nature and brought the old ancestor to Mount Yunmeng. She truly deserves to be called the fox who understands human nature best!
However, he overestimated Dansheng, or rather, he underestimated the fact that Yuan Gong hadn't left Dansheng any backup plans, allowing the ancestor to powerfully break through Dansheng's attack, while his own cultivation was still slightly weaker than the ancestor's.
After advancing his cultivation level, he wanted to break free from his ancestor's control, but his own desires unexpectedly drew him into the mess. To claim to be proficient in human nature and insightful about desires—isn't that ironic?
Whoosh!
Lian'er's mind raced like lightning. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to her, she quickly retracted her fox tail, glanced deeply at Dansheng and the young man, and then leaped away at full speed towards the outside of the mountain.
Dansheng couldn't be killed; the young man before him possessed unfathomable strength. He himself failed to seize the Divine Brush, and Dansheng's actions instead prompted the ancestor to leap into the abyss to search for Divine Brush.
If our ancestors succeed, I'll be nothing but a fish on a chopping block, completely at their mercy. The situation is so unfavorable; if I don't run now, when will I?
Watching Lian'er disappear in the blink of an eye, Dansheng's eyes showed some disappointment. He turned around and looked behind him, where a cold and stern face came into view. His shoulder was being firmly supported by this person's arm.
Who is this?
Master's friend?
How could the demon that destroyed Mount Yunmeng have escaped?
Dansheng looked at the young man, then tentatively pointed to the abyss below. The young man looked down into the abyss and gently shook his head at him.
The old fox who obtained the Heavenly Book and the Divine Brush was not so easy to deal with. He then grabbed Dansheng and disappeared instantly on Mount Yunmeng.
The old woman was naturally disappointed when she saw Dansheng throw the Divine Brush into the abyss. After witnessing Hu Mei'er's sudden ascension to the Earth Immortal realm, she was eager to obtain the two sacred artifacts.
In an instant, she plunged her fox tail deep into the ground, using it as a rope, and leaped into the abyss. As she fell, in order to reach the same height as the Divine Brush, she recklessly channeled her magic Magic Power to make herself fall even faster.
He opened his mouth and spewed out a bright and huge ball of flame. After a few breaths, a glimmer of light could be seen flashing in the abyss below. It was the light refracted from the jade pen!
A surge of wild joy ignited in his deep-set eyes. With a whoosh, another fox tail shot out from behind him, hurtling towards the falling jade pen with unparalleled speed.
The Magic Power surged forth again, accelerating the descent; the long fox tail shot out so fast it almost tore through the darkness of the abyss. Using the slivers of light reflected from it, the fine silver hairs on the fox tail curled slightly toward the source of the light.
A jade pen was firmly hooked!
"Hehehe... Hahaha..."
A sound that was both crying and laughing echoed from the dark abyss, sending chills down one's spine as it continued to reverberate through the darkness, like the sound of fingernails scratching a blackboard. This laughter rose continuously from the depths of the abyss.
Until a heart-wrenching cry of laughter echoed throughout the entire Mount Yunmeng!
The Vulture and owls on the mountaintop squawked loudly in response to the cries of laughter and tears, and a thick aura of death shot straight into the sky, turning the entire Mount Yunmeng into Hell.
After crossing the iron chain bridge, Dansheng suddenly heard a mad cry and laughter coming from afar. A look of solemnity flashed in his eyes as he looked at the young man. He glanced back at the gloomy Mount Yunmeng and then closed his eyes again in sorrow.
It seems the old fox has obtained the Heavenly Book and the Divine Brush...
" Dansheng you for saving my life, senior. I still don't know who you are..."
"I am not an old friend of Yuan Gong, and I only saved you as a matter of convenience. The Heavenly Book Divine Brush have been stolen, and you are no longer of any use to me."
The old fox will definitely change his nature after obtaining the sacred object. You should go and experience life in the mortal world first. There will surely be endless calamities in this world...
The young man's tone, like his face, was as cold as ice.
Dansheng felt a pang of shame as he recalled the foolish things he had done before. It seemed this senior had no intention of harming him...
Nonsense! You've already lost your treasure, and they still saved your life. Do you think you're worth being harmed?
The old fox has now turned Mount Yunmeng into her dojo. She'll definitely become incredibly powerful once she gets the sacred object. Maybe I should deal with the Hu Mei'er first?
Despite rushing, I was still a step too late. It was already the best-case scenario that I had used Curse Speech Technique to cause the two foxes to fight each other. If Hu Mei'er had restrained her desires and fully assisted the old fox, the situation would probably have been even worse.
But did Yuan Gong really leave no tricks behind? How could two foxes so easily seize the sacred artifact? The Heavenly Palace sent Shankui into the realm, Yuan Gong used himself to lure the Shankui away, and the vortex of conflict between the two forces seems to be growing ever larger.
To complete his mission, he needed to eliminate the old fox and the Hu Mei'er, but now the two little foxes had already been drawn into the vortex, though they were completely unaware of it.
only...
The young man looked at the dilapidated scene on Mount Yunmeng with complicated emotions, while the old fox's arrogant laughter and lamentation echoed from the mountaintop.
His profound Earth Eye swept from the mountaintop into the clouds above, his eyes piercing through the lightning, as if countless cold gazes were looking down upon all living beings from beyond the heavens.
Let's go and gain some experience in the mortal world first!
Looking at Dansheng's gloomy face, the young man said coldly.
"Ah? I... I no longer have the Heavenly Book and the Divine Brush. I've been expelled from Mount Yunmeng. I... I can no longer help the world. I'm sorry, Master..."
Looking at the young man's retreating figure, Dansheng spoke hesitantly. Now that he had lost everything, he felt utterly helpless. It seemed that the old fox and the Hu Mei'er had dealt him such a heavy blow that his Dao Heart was now somewhat unstable.
What a piece of trash!
"True strength is never found under the wings of one's ancestors, and true goodness is never about giving someone a fish."
Only by experiencing various hardships can one solidify Dao Heart; only by enduring repeated tribulations can one forge one's will.
Having treasures doesn't necessarily mean you can truly help people, but not having treasures doesn't preclude you from benefiting the world.
The path is right in front of you. I will only save you once. If you have already given up on this idea, I advise you to turn back and jump!
Good and evil lie in a single thought; life and death are decided by one's own will.
Throughout history, there have only been those who humble themselves and plead for their lives!
There are no Kami who stand high above and bestow kindness!
The boy watched the figure gradually disappear from his sight, the young man's cold words still echoing in his ears.
This was the first time in his life that he felt there was someone as tall and imposing as his master's back...
Looking back at the cliff beneath his feet, the boy turned away, no longer showing any lingering affection for Mount Yunmeng.
I will stride forward and truly go among the mortals to help people. Even without sacred objects, I will still bring blessings to the world!
The cold-faced youth withdrew his will, a rare smile appearing on his lips; he had already understood the boy's reaction.
He continued walking forward with a cool and aloof demeanor, secretly thinking to himself, "I really nailed that act!"
Ah! Another lost sheep has been pointed out, another boy lying down has been saved. Please, author, give me more boys like Dansheng and more storylines in the future, so I can indulge in my role a few more times.
The aloof young man was Xu Long's True Dragon Clone. He rushed as fast as he could but was still a step too late. The old fox had already obtained the Heavenly Book and the Divine Brush, but he was already caught in the vortex. If he were to confront him now, he was afraid he would be outmatched.
He saw nothing through the gaze of the heavens, but he was already mentally prepared to enter the game!
The priority now is to deal with the Hu Mei'er; rescuing Dansheng is just a side effect.
The young man watched as a Divination Talisman ignited before him, then fixed his gaze on the distance:
The ethereal fox spirit, I'd like to see what she's got!
"Clang!"
A tremendous clang of metal clashing resounded across the ground as two terrifying energy waves collided, instantly shattering the vegetation on the surface.
The young girl Lian'er, retracted one of her fox tails. She turned around and cautiously looked behind her. A crimson light, carrying powerful energy, approached rapidly from afar.
"Snort!"
Lian'er gave a low snort, showing no interest in fighting, and increased her speed to the maximum, disappearing from the spot in an instant.
The weapons that had collided earlier were in front of her, but when she looked back, she saw that the attackers were indeed behind her, though their weapons were more agile and had lurked in front of her.
If he hadn't used his fox tail to clear a path and sweep away the attackers first, that attack, carrying terrifying energy, would have severely injured him.
He didn't know who was relentlessly pursuing him. He had tried to escape in countless directions over the past month, but the pursuers were like leeches, always catching up again after only a few moments.
The dazzling crimson light streaked across the earth like a falling meteor, managing to hold on tightly even as the cultivator, at the Earth Immortal level, fled at full speed.
Hu Mei'er noticed she was being pursued and immediately engaged in combat with the pursuers. However, she was surprised to find that the energy beneath the crimson light was comparable to that of a mere Earth Immortal, which caused her already low morale to choose to flee.
She had always wanted to escape far away from the control of her ancestor, and now that her cultivation had greatly increased, even if she had betrayed the ancestor before, it would be difficult for her to find her after obtaining the Heavenly Book.
Unexpectedly, this crimson light relentlessly pursued her. This chase had lasted for over a month, and she, a mere Earth Immortal, was truly being treated like a pushover!
As the Hu Mei'er streaked through the clouds, she glanced back at the crimson light hurtling towards her from behind, a ruthless glint in her eyes.
Behind them, a bewitching crimson light revealed a long, blood-red dragon. The dragon was long yet incredibly agile, its movements through the air graceful as it chased after the silver hair in front of it. In the instant it passed by, only a flash of light could be seen.
Buzzing...
A sword beam approached from afar, arriving beside the crimson light. It nimbly clung to the side of the blood dragon, using the air currents to swiftly traverse the path. Seeing that the Hu Mei'er's speed was gradually slowing down ahead, the blood dragon didn't hesitate, unleashing its sword beam to give chase.
boom!
Watching the Hu Mei'er disappear before a mountain, the crimson dragon slammed its massive body into it.
With a deafening roar, the mountain collapsed, sending up a cloud of dust that blotted out the sun. After crashing into the mountain, the blood dragon, finding no trace of Hu Mei'er, flicked its tail and sped off into the distance.
Whoosh!
Amidst the rising dust, a long fox tail suddenly sprang out, its thick silver hairs standing upright, sweeping arrogantly towards the blood dragon's tail.
The moment they met, she unleashed the Nine-Tails Clan's ultimate move; this Hu Mei'er clearly hated the crimson light that was chasing her.
The silver hair whipped up endless dust as it came with ferocious force, and the moment it touched the tail of the blood-red dragon, it swept it away fiercely.
collapse!
The blood dragon, which had been hurtling through the air like lightning, was struck in the tail by this blow. Its energy surged uncontrollably, and its dragon form instantly disintegrated in mid-air, turning into a human figure that tumbled rapidly through the air before falling into the dust.
