The Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb Blunder into Lin Tian's Courtyard
A moment ago.
High in the skies near the South Sea, where the Interception Sect is located!
Suddenly, three streams of Yao Qi appeared, each flashing with a different light.
From the direction of the Thirty-Three Heavens, it charged towards the mountains near the southern coast!
These three figures were none other than...
These were the Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb who were carrying out Nuwa's holy decree and were heading to Chaoge Human Clan: the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit, the Nine-Headed Pheasant Spirit, and the Jade Pipa Spirit!
Because the Saint Nuwa left behind great magical power on them.
This caused them to descend extremely quickly, without causing any physical damage.
In less than half a day, they landed on the southern coast of the Primordial World Interception Sect.
A cloud of smoke and dust billowed out.
The Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb also steadied themselves.
The Pheasant Spirit and the Pipa Spirit gazed at the ocean in front of them, then turned their heads to look at the barren, lifeless mountains behind them.
A strange glint flashed in the four pairs of eyes that seemed somewhat human.
They all looked ahead at a small fox with snow-white fur and nine tails.
"Nine-Tailed Fox sister, how did we end up here?"
"It seems we're still very far from the Human Clan."
The Nine-Tailed Fox has a pair of emerald-like eyes, sparkling like a sky full of stars.
A hint of tenderness could be seen deep within those eyes.
Upon hearing the words of the Pheasant Spirit and the Pipa Spirit, it was stunned for a moment. After looking around, the Nine-Tailed Fox was bewildered for a long time before stammering out its words.
"I don't know either."
"When we landed just now, I just followed my instincts..."
"I never expected this place to be so desolate... It seems I chose the wrong location..."
The Pheasant Spirit and the Pipa Spirit look completely different from the Nine-Tailed Fox; they are no different from ordinary pheasants and pipa players.
It looks incongruous and rather ugly.
At this moment, they heard the Nine-Tails' slightly timid tone.
They were also stunned for a moment, then sighed in a human-like manner and began to complain.
"Sister, you're clearly a fox, so how come you can't find your way around?"
"Wouldn't it be more convenient for us to land directly on the border of the Human Clan and wait for an opportunity to strike?"
"Now look what's happened. Our magical power is sealed. A thousand years of magical power has vanished. Only our divine sense is still usable."
"It would probably take four or five months to get from here to the Human Clan."
Hearing their words, the Nine-Tailed Fox cutely stuck out its pink tongue.
He looked rather embarrassed and said, with a simple, honest expression.
"Perhaps it's fate, anyway, we're not in a hurry."
"The Empress Nuwa has given me this opportunity; all I need to do is fulfill it."
The Pheasant Spirit and the Pipa Spirit exchanged a glance and finally sighed.
Nine-Tailed Fox have always been like this.
He's silly and has a rather weak personality; he doesn't seem like a monster at all.
If most of the fortune in Xuanyuan Tomb hadn't been absorbed by the Nine-Tailed Fox...
They absolutely refused to worship the Nine-Tailed Fox as their eldest sister!
But there's nothing we can do now; after all, they're incredibly lucky and have nine lives.
Although the Pheasant Spirit and the Pipa Spirit were very unhappy with the nine-tailed fox's foolish behavior, they did not say anything rude.
There was a moment of silence.
Suddenly, the Pheasant Spirit sensed a familiar aura. It looked around again, its eyes lighting up, and it hurriedly said...
"I've been here before! It shouldn't be far from the Interception Sect grounds!"
"We've completely gone astray. I know which way to go. Just follow me."
The Pheasant Spirit had visited the Interception Sect before, wanting to become their disciple and learn their skills. Unfortunately, at that time, she couldn't speak, and they only thought she was a wild pheasant.
So it was put on hold.
Because the experience back then was too profound.
It recognized their current location at a glance.
The Nine-Tailed Fox, seeing its knowledgeable expression, looked around with its jewel-like eyes, quite surprised.
"Is this near the Interception Sect) dojo?!"
"But why is the surrounding area so desolate?"
"This is all barren mountains."
"Aside from Yao Qi, there was no other aura. The Interception Sect was a major sect suppressed by Sage, one of the top immortal sects in the Primordial World."
"Those who join the Interception Sect are all exceptionally talented individuals among all kinds of demons."
"This area should be a sacred place for cultivation, so why is there no spiritual energy at all?"
The Pheasant Spirit chuckled and said, "Big sister, you've never left the Xuanyuan Ancient Tomb since you were a child, so naturally you don't know this place."
"This is a desolate place outside the Interception Sect, rarely visited by humans."
"You landed in such a convenient spot! Why didn't you land in a better place?!"
"If we land in the center of the Interception Sect grounds, we might even be able to seek some enlightenment!"
"You should know that the Interception Sect teaches without discrimination!"
Hearing the Pheasant Spirit's complaint, the Nine-Tailed Fox glanced at them somewhat awkwardly, her jewel-like, crystal-clear eyes flickering for a moment.
To be honest, it didn't know why it suddenly appeared here.
Just now, it was clearly flying towards the Human Clan by instinct.
I never expected it to deviate so far.
However, its strength was weak, and it couldn't tell whether it had chosen the wrong direction or if there were other reasons.
Anyway, when looking down from the sky...
Everything is the same.
We just flew and ended up here.
Therefore, in response to the criticism of Pheasant Spirit.
The Nine-Tailed Fox was embarrassed for a long time, and finally only responded.
"This... this is just a coincidence."
"Alright, sisters, that's enough. Let's hurry on our way."
"Let's try to leave this desolate mountain before nightfall."
With that, the Nine-Tailed Fox began to walk down the mountain.
The Pipa Spirit standing to the side offered a suggestion.
"Sister, the Human Clan is to the west of this place. If you head down the mountain, aren't you going against the grain?"
"Why don't we just climb up from here?"
Wouldn't walking in a straight line be faster?
The Nine-Tailed Fox blinked its eyes blankly, and it took it a long time to react before it finally understood.
That makes sense.
"Then let's hurry up and go."
The Pheasant Spirit and the Pipa Spirit both sighed helplessly at the Nine-Tailed Fox's foolish appearance.
The eldest sister is lucky; she's beautiful.
It's like their brain isn't working too well.
He's just being silly every day.
The Empress Nuwa entrusted them with important tasks.
Don't let your older sister hold you back anymore!
The task of Sage is not so easy to accomplish.
If it's finished, then that's good.
If they fail, the karmic consequences are far beyond what small demons like them can bear...
The Nine-Tailed Fox following them did them no good.
Who knows, he might even be a burden...
The Pheasant Spirit and the Pipa Spirit thought to themselves, their minds quite heavy.
However, it seems they don't have any solutions at the moment.
Once we reach the territory of the Great Shang, we'll see who has the best skills.
The Pheasant Spirit and the Pipa Spirit, each with their own ulterior motives, ran forward.
They were also little demons who had cultivated for thousands of years.
His talent is very poor, far inferior to Shen Gongbao back in the day.
But it's still stronger than ordinary monsters.
It runs incredibly fast!
In the blink of an eye, we had crossed several mountains!
However, when they originally wanted to speed up their journey towards the Human Clan...
An anomaly has occurred.
Suddenly, a white light appeared before them, enveloping the bodies of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Pheasant Spirit, and the Pipa Spirit.
They couldn't see the road ahead, so they stopped in their tracks.
They all looked around, completely bewildered.
A hint of apprehension flickered in his eyes.
What happened?
"Could it be that we've accidentally stumbled into a formation set up by the Jie Sect Disciple?"
"Wait a minute, aren't all formations supposed to have a binding effect?"
"This white light... doesn't seem to harm us?"
The Pheasant Spirit and the Pipa Spirit cautiously looked around, a hint of wariness flashing in their eyes.
The Nine-Tailed Fox still seems to have a cute face; I wonder what exactly happened.
Gradually.
The white light disappeared.
The surrounding environment hasn't changed.
The Nine-Tailed Fox turned its emerald green, jewel-like eyes and asked suspiciously.
"It seems fine, it's probably just fog?"
The Pheasant Spirit and the Pipa Spirit seemed to believe it but were also skeptical, and cautiously replied.
"We shouldn't stay here any longer, let's go quickly."
The Nine-Tailed Fox, unaware of the dangers around it, instinctively followed forward.
"Why?"
Its eyesight is already exceptional.
I looked up slightly and suddenly saw the bare mountaintop in the distance.
A new courtyard filled with golden light has been added.
The Nine-Tailed Fox was startled and quickly spoke to the Pheasant Spirit and the Pipa Spirit beside her.
"My two sisters, look! What's that glittering gold over there?"
"Have we accidentally stumbled upon the secluded cultivation place of some senior cultivator?"
Only then did the Pheasant Spirit and the Pipa Spirit notice the direction the Nine-Tailed Fox had indicated.
When I saw that gleaming, magnificent courtyard...
Both monsters were taken aback.
"This desolate mountain wilderness is sparsely populated with spiritual energy, and there is no one to be seen."
"How come there's suddenly a courtyard filled with golden light?"
Upon hearing the Pheasant Spirit's words, the Pipa Spirit standing to the side offered her analysis.
"Since this place is so close to the Interception Sect grounds, perhaps it's the secluded cultivation spot of some highly accomplished member of the Interception Sect?"
"How about we go take a look? We're on the way anyway?"
A greedy glint flashed in the Pheasant Spirit's eyes.
The Nine-Tailed Fox shook its head; its intention was not to go over, but to go around the courtyard.
"My two sisters, if this truly is the secluded cultivation place of some senior, then we absolutely must not go to investigate. If we offend a powerful senior, the consequences would be unimaginable..."
"So let's not go."
"Is getting on the road more important?"
The Pipa Spirit standing to the side curled her lip, saying nonchalantly, "Sister, we've cultivated for a thousand years, yet we don't even have the qualification to take human form."
"Now that we finally have a chance to make a contribution, it's a gift from the Empress Nuwa."
Even so, the day of enlightenment is still very far off! It's better to rely on yourself than on others!
"Since we've run into each other, why don't we investigate? It might not do any harm."
Even if we just wander around outside the door and don't get in, we won't have any regrets!
"With your timid and hesitant manner, even if you encounter an opportunity, you won't be able to seize it!"
The slightly impatient words fell to the floor.
Before the Nine-Tailed Fox could say anything more, the Pheasant Spirit and the Pipa Spirit ran towards the courtyard bathed in golden light.
"..."
But... you need a matching destiny to get that opportunity...
We are nothing but lowly demons, destined to live a life of hardship from birth, unlikely to encounter any great opportunities in our lives...
Thinking this, the Nine-Tailed Fox opened her mouth, hesitated, and stared blankly for a long time before finally letting out a sigh.
It is by nature gentle and weak, and doesn't know how to say no.
Although I act cautiously, I don't want to go back.
But it doesn't know the way.
Moreover, the three demons carried out Empress Nuwa's mission together.
It's not easy to act alone.
Thinking about this...
The Nine-Tailed Fox gritted her teeth and had no choice but to follow.
Soon.
Three demons: Nine-Tailed Fox, Pheasant Spirit, Pipa Spirit.
They then arrived at the mountaintop.
The three demons gazed at the golden light emanating from the magic array before them, upon which flowed profound and mysterious runes.
Within that astonishing magic array was a courtyard with a rather simple appearance.
Even if they are far from the courtyard.
They could still feel the terrifying pressure emanating from the courtyard.
With their current strength, they are like ants in front of the magic array in that courtyard.
Even breathing felt difficult.
Clearly, this courtyard is extraordinary!
"Whose courtyard is this!?"
"Such a powerful aura!"
"Could it be the courtyard of some direct disciples of the Interception Sect!?"
The Pipa Spirit offered this analysis, only to have it immediately rejected by the Pheasant Spirit.
"The Interception Sect is not in this position. Now that the Investiture of the Gods Calamity has broken out, the Interception Sect are either staying in the Interception Sect or have already gone into seclusion to deal with the Investiture of the Gods Calamity."
"This place is so remote and desolate, it's unlikely to be the training ground for a direct disciple."
"However, judging from the scale of the protective array around the courtyard, it is incredibly powerful, mysterious, and profound. Even a second-generation disciple could not possibly possess such a courtyard."
"In my opinion, it might be the place where some powerful being cultivates."
"It's at least the pressure of Peak Quasi-Saint!"
I heard the analysis about Pheasant Spirit.
The Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes narrowed instantly, a hint of apprehension in her voice. "My two sisters," she said, "Since this is a secluded cultivation place of a mysterious powerful being, we should leave as soon as possible."
"If we disturb your peaceful cultivation, the consequences would be unimaginable."
The Pheasant Spirit shook its head and said to the Nine-Tailed Fox.
"How could you call it a disturbance!"
"Since we are fortunate enough to encounter the courtyard where such a powerful being resides in seclusion, then this is our destiny!"
"However, our strength is too weak to be qualified to enter. There is a mysterious power of law surging outside the courtyard, so we will cultivate here in seclusion!"
"Go if you want to leave. We should cherish such good fortune, of course."
The Pipa Spirit casually replied.
"That's right, we're not going in, what bad thing could possibly happen?"
Upon hearing this...
The Nine-Tailed Fox blinked its eyes, a sense of foreboding creeping into its heart. It didn't seem to feel very safe around this courtyard.
She hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat timidly, "How about I wait for you at the foot of the mountain?"
The Pheasant Spirit and the Pipa Spirit both looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox with disdain upon seeing its appearance.
"Since you're so timid, let's go. I'll stay here and cultivate for a few days to see if I can improve my strength!"
The Pheasant Spirit ignored the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Just as he was feeling contempt for the Nine-Tailed Fox's cowardice...
Boom!
A startling explosion suddenly rang out.
This interrupted the Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb's plans!
The three demons were startled and all looked toward the source of the sound!
Their eyes narrowed sharply!
Before them, the golden talisman that enveloped the courtyard suddenly began to surge wildly.
The fence at the entrance to the courtyard slowly opened from the inside out.
In an instant.
A surging, powerful force of devouring.
It suddenly came from behind the fence.
Before the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Pheasant Spirit, and the Pipa Spirit could react...
Their bodies suddenly lost their balance.
They flew haphazardly toward the courtyard gate!
Even though they tried their best, they couldn't break free from the sudden, overwhelming force that devoured them!
The Pheasant Spirit and the Pipa Spirit, in particular, turned deathly pale.
We're doomed!
I intended to meditate quietly in the surrounding area.
But the owner of this courtyard doesn't seem to want to!
Seeing how aggressive they are, do they intend to eat them?
Pheasant Spirit and Pipa Spirit were immediately thrown into a panic.
The Nine-Tailed Fox was so frightened that it trembled uncontrollably.
Before they could even react.
I felt as if I was enveloped in a white light.
The next moment.
The scene before them gradually came into view.
"Um?"
The Pheasant Spirit snapped out of its daze and turned its head to the side, its face filled with horror.
I wanted to take advantage of the break to observe the surrounding situation;
But.
When it was thinking that.
Roar!
Suddenly.
A roar that seemed to come from a colossal beast that existed since ancient times.
With an intense pressure, it directly crushed the Pheasant Spirit!
Thump!
The Pheasant Spirit simply lay down on the ground.
"Could this be the secluded dwelling of some powerful Demon Clan?"
Just as it was thinking this in its mind.
Its silhouette was then enveloped by a massive figure.
The Pheasant Spirit suddenly looked up.
His eyes narrowed suddenly.
"Dragon Clan?!"
As Demon Clan, I can naturally sense the aura of the Dragon Clan.
Now, the Pheasant Spirit stared intently at the Yazi before it, its eyes as large as lanterns.
The Pheasant Spirit was so frightened that its feathers stood on end.
My heart was filled with panic!
It's over!
This must be the secluded dwelling place of the Dragon Clan!
Is it going to be eaten by a powerful Dragon Clan?
Oh my god!
We didn't intend to come in at the time!
I just wanted to mooch off someone outside!
Thinking of this, the Pheasant Spirit hurriedly begged for mercy, stammering and speaking in a fearful tone.
"Please spare us, senior! We only came here by chance and had no other intentions."
"Please forgive me for disturbing your meditation, senior!"
"I'll leave right away!"
"Please withdraw your oppressive aura!"
The Pheasant Spirit lay on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
The Pipa Spirit beside them was so frightened that she didn't know what to say.
He was trembling so badly he didn't dare to look up.
Even the Nine-Tailed Fox could not resist this powerful pressure.
He lay on the ground, unable to stand up no matter what he did.
Even in her sapphire-like eyes, a look of fear and unease flickered.
Upon hearing the Pheasant Spirit's reply.
Yazi out a cold snort, his voice booming like thunder!
The shockwave made the Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb's ears go numb and their whole bodies tremble!
"Lie down properly!! No talking!"
"My master is coming out now."
"We'll interrogate you properly once you're out."
Owner?
This Dragon Clan elder even has a master!?
Could this not be the Dragon Clan' secluded dwelling place?
Rather, it is the strongest being who keeps Dragon Clan in captivity?!
The Three Demons of Xuanyuan Tomb couldn't help but gasp when they realized this.
A chill ran down my spine.
We're doomed!
Those powerful beings who can become masters of the Dragon Clan are not beings they can afford to provoke!
Let alone seeking opportunities this time.
Whether they'll leave alive is still uncertain!
If I had known this would happen, I would have listened to my older sister!
Just as the Pheasant Spirit and the Pipa Spirit were beginning to regret their actions.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
It was as if it appeared out of thin air.
There was absolutely no fluctuation!
When the three demons saw this figure...
They were all startled by the mysterious aura emanating from him.
His expression also changed drastically!
