Don't let Yu Ding take on any more disciples.

Chapter 344 Brother Haotian, you never expected things to turn out this way, did you?

Yu Ding had a bold guess, and he was 99% sure of it.

He looked at the ancient temple in his hand and revealed a kind smile.

We've found you, Fellow Daoist Haotian!

The secrecy surrounding Haotian's descent to the mortal realm for this tribulation was exceptionally well-maintained.
Not to mention his good friend, this guy didn't even tell his wife and kids when he ran away.

I'm afraid even if you beat Haotian Daoist to death, you would never have imagined that no matter how flawless "His" plan was, it was still found by his old jade cauldron in the end.

Especially just now, when Zhang Youren tried so hard to compose a poem, but the embarrassing scene with the last word...

At this moment, Yu Ding really wanted to tilt his head back, lean against a tree, and burst into laughter.

Fortunately, he hadn't thought of that part at the time; otherwise, if he had recorded that scene, he would have gotten his hands on the dark history of this future ruler of Heaven.

"I thought you were having a very comfortable life after descending to the mortal realm."

Yu Ding shook his head with a smile: "So... that's it?"

He had spoken with Haotian and could tell from his words just how much Haotian didn't want to be the Heavenly Emperor.

He genuinely believed that the other party must have made meticulous arrangements before descending to the mortal realm after planning for so long, and that he would surely be able to live the happy life he envisioned for a lifetime.

Unexpectedly, they were deceived by a group of fox demons and forced into the famous scene of 'jumping off'...

"So that's how it is..." Yu Ding's mind raced. He had originally thought that the Jade Emperor and the Supreme God of Heaven were two different figures.

It now seems that the Jade Emperor is also an alternate account created by that fellow Daoist.

However, this also shows how correct his vision and idea were when he started using multiple accounts.

Because in this chaotic world, you never know whose alternate account or alias you might encounter.

"However, this time you're not encountering good fortune in love, but rather a calamity."

Yu Ding turned his head to look in the direction the crowd had gone: "This mountain is quite lively today."

This mountain is imbued with spiritual energy, its terrain gathering the essence of heaven and earth, the sun and moon, making it a truly precious place.

But at this moment, the place that should be a sacred place was filled with demonic energy in the sky above, including several extremely powerful auras.

In addition, there was a fishy stench in the air that was undetectable to ordinary people, which made Yu Ding frown. Moreover, there were many illusory human phantoms wandering around in the dark forest.

Upon seeing him, the wronged souls cowered and fled into the distance.

"Fine, since we've already run into each other, let's just say we're here for once."

Yu Ding shook his head, made a hand seal, and began chanting the Lingbao Duren Jing of his martial uncle.

Immortals possess a pure and yang nature, where yin is exhausted and yang is pure. To these yin-based ghosts, they are like the sun, naturally restraining them.

As for Fellow Daoist Haotian... I'll have to trouble you to wait for me a moment.

As Yu Ding chanted the incantation, a celestial character flew from his mouth, transforming into a soft, clear light. One by one, the wronged souls touched by it regained their senses, bowed to Yu Ding, and headed towards the underworld.

At this moment, Zhang Youren was surrounded by a group of fox spirits and arrived at the backyard of a manor with a plaque that read "Bixia Manor".

The villa, with its red walls and green tiles, was very grand and had been decorated in a magnificent manner, as if a wedding was about to take place.

At this time, guests arrived one after another, all of them monsters such as wolves, insects, tigers, leopards, deer, elk, bears, snakes, eagles, and elephants.

Moreover, they all retain some characteristics of monsters to varying degrees.

In the front yard, an elderly man dressed in magnificent brocade robes with gray hair was welcoming guests with a smile on his face.

Meanwhile, in the bridal chamber in the backyard.

"Despicable, shameless! You actually took advantage of my kindness to lure me in. Do you know what kind of behavior this is?"

Zhang Youren sat at the table with an indignant expression, slamming his fist on the table angrily: "Do you know how much damage your actions have done to my soul?"
Would you dare to rescue injured animals again? The sins of those creatures I abandoned and let die will be yours to bear. Do you realize you've cut off their chance of survival?

Inside the room, the white-clad girl, who was actually a white fox, was also scolded and looked ashamed, lowering her head and not daring to speak.

"Say something! Why aren't you saying anything?"

Seeing the girl like this, Zhang Youren became even angrier: "Are you mute?"

"I didn't want to either, but there was nothing I could do; it's based on the experience passed down from our ancestors,"

The girl murmured, "Absorbing a man's yang energy before undergoing the transformation tribulation can increase our success rate by 10%."

"What will happen to a man after absorbing yang energy?" Zhang Youren asked tentatively.

The girl pondered for a moment and said, "Those with good physiques will have their lifespan reduced by fifty years, while those with poor physiques... may die."

"What? No way! I'm protesting! Why are you basing your success on a man's life?"

Zhang Youren was furious: "For a man to grow up to my age, his mother has to endure ten months of pregnancy and go through all sorts of illnesses and disasters from childhood to adulthood. Only one in ten children could possibly grow up to be like me."

Do you know how hard it has been for me? And now you're going to take his life. Tell me, can you live with yourselves?

The girl quickly replied, "So no matter what happens afterward, we will send your family a fortune. It's a deal."

"Can I refuse a deal?"

"cannot!"

"Then isn't that just talking nonsense?"

“Or I could have a child for you, brother, to carry on the family line. My father said that humans value the continuation of the family line very much.”

"I'm about to die, what do I need a child for..."

Zhang Youren suddenly looked at her suspiciously and asked curiously, "Don't tell me foxes can give birth to humans?"

"Not now, my father said it will be okay after I transform into human form."

The girl said shyly, "Don't worry, little brother. If you don't die, I'll find the best spiritual medicine to prolong your life. If you die, I'll have children for you and leave you descendants."

All you need to do now is put on your wedding robes and come with me to the wedding ceremony; afterwards, you'll just have to give up a little bit of your yang energy.

"No, I refuse. To tell you the truth, I already have someone in my heart, even though she may not be as pretty as you and has a bad temper."

Zhang Youren crossed his arms and recalled for a moment before saying, "But I will never betray her. Even if you get my body, you will never get my heart."

"Really? That would be great."

The little fox said happily, "I don't need your heart, I just want to borrow a little bit of your yang energy."

Zhang Youren shook his head vigorously: "I don't want it, no way, I won't lend it to you."

"Fourteen, aren't you dressed in your wedding robes yet? The auspicious hour is almost here. Ninth, Twelfth, and Thirteenth are all ready, we're just waiting for you." The fiery fox-turned-woman with a voluptuous figure entered, glanced at Zhang Youren, and sneered, "What, are you going to recite a poem?"

Zhang Youren lowered his head awkwardly, a hint of fear in his eyes.

He was actually a little afraid of this hot-bodied, short-tempered fox-like older sister.

Because from the moment he threatened to jump off the cliff, I knew that other foxes might not dare to make him jump, but this one really dared to kick him off.

"Kid, let me tell you, you have two choices now: either you obediently put it on and cooperate, and I will definitely not treat you badly afterwards."

Firefox took the wedding robe and walked up to Zhang Youren: "Either you continue to resist, or we can tie you up and finish the job. Although the process will be a bit bumpy, the result will be the same, won't it?"

Zhang Youren pondered for a moment, then looked up and was stunned when he saw the woman's snow-white chest.

"Does it look good?"

After noticing this, Fiery Fox smiled and said, "If you think it looks good, then behave yourself. I'll reward you handsomely afterwards."

As she spoke, a pinkish aura emanated from her.

Zhang Youren shook his head: "If I hadn't seen what you looked like as a fox, I might have thought you were beautiful."

"What? You...you're alright?"

Huohu was taken aback to see Zhang Youren still conscious.

"Of course it's alright, I am a cultivator, yes, a cultivator."

Zhang Youren said, "Let me tell you, you're in big trouble. You're in really big trouble. Once my master arrives, you're finished."

"Damn it, you human, don't be so ungrateful. My patience is limited too."

A fierce glint flashed in Fiery Fox's eyes as she tossed the wedding robe to Zhang Youren: "I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to put it on yourself, or don't blame us for being impolite. I have plenty of tricks and strength."

After saying that, Fire Fox pulled Snow Fox out of the room, leaving Zhang Youren alone in the room.

Zhang Youren stared blankly at the wedding robe in his hand for a moment, then slapped himself.

"Look at you, why did you run off to learn some skills when you had a perfectly good home? If you actually learned something, that would be fine."

Zhang Youren was filled with deep regret: "I spent five years studying Taoism, and four and a half years of that time fishing with someone. I even got lost trying to get home. Dad, Mom, Chi Yao, I regret it so much... Waaah..."

After a long time, at dusk.

Yu Ding appeared above the gate of Bixia Manor, concealing his form as he sensed the gathering of monsters within the manor, and couldn't help but frown slightly.

The villa's living room and courtyard were already filled with demon guests, leaving only an empty passageway in the middle.

Among them are many demon immortals at the True Immortal Realm and Heavenly Immortal Realm, and even a few demons at the Golden Immortal Realm.

This includes the old fox spirit of the main family.

"Speaking of which, with so many demons here, where are we?"

Yu Ding looked around and found his way. He had been running so fast that he had stopped at the ancient temple and hadn't really noticed where he was.

He vaguely remembered that he came down from Kunlun Mountain in Dongsheng Shenzhou to Guanjiangkou in Nanzhanbuzhou to find Yang Jian.

At his 'prehistoric Flash' speed, he should have reached the border between the two southeastern continents by now, right?
"Hmm?" In the living room, a tall, blond young man turned his gaze away from the sky.

The follower in the second row behind asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?"

“When I looked up at the sky, I had a feeling of unease. It might be a backup plan arranged by the master.”

The blond youth shook his head: "Speaking of which, what kind of grand gathering for meeting heroes did you accept? It's just a bunch of rabble."

"No, brother. Quite a few heroes from our demon race are present."

The henchman raised his chin and said, "Did you see that guy in the yard with the bull horns on his head drinking like that?"

The blond youth looked over and saw a burly man with bull horns laughing loudly in the courtyard, while a group of very rough demons were clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, which drew cheers and applause from the other demons.

"Celestial Realm...who is he?" the golden-haired youth murmured.

"A demon king who has recently risen to prominence, known as the Mighty Bull King, may look simple and honest, but he is quite ferocious."

The henchman suddenly remembered something, glanced at his boss, and then stopped mentioning the other man's brutality.
"Because he later became famous for his anger for the sake of a woman, he wiped out twelve demon kings in the Heavenly Immortal Realm who had spoken frivolously to the Rakshasa woman in one night, and his name spread far and wide. People added the word 'demon' to his name and called him the Mighty Bull Demon King."

"The Mighty Bull Demon King? Interesting. Keep an eye on him for me."

The blond youth smiled: "After the banquet, go and test his abilities, and make friends with him."

“Yes, brother.” The henchman nodded.

As they were talking, with the announcement of "The newlyweds have arrived," a group of maids escorted the four couples, including Zhang Youren, into the hall.

Apart from Zhang Youren, who was clear-headed and looked unwilling, the other three human men were like puppets, with blank stares.

The demon guests naturally didn't say much about this, and the old fox god sat high above, stroking his beard and smiling as he watched this scene.

Upon seeing the newcomers arrive, the bull-headed giant quickly put aside his conversation with his demon brothers outside and entered the inner hall.

"Hahaha, Brother Haotian, I never thought you'd have a day like this, did you?"

Yu Ding stood above the gate, showing no intention of making a move.

Not only did he not intend to make a move, he was also holding a magical artifact that could capture images, preparing to record them as a memento.

"The newcomer turns around."

As the emcee announced the ceremony, the four couples turned around to face the main entrance.

Even though Zhang Youren was unwilling, he had already turned pale in the face of the crowd of demons and dared not resist, so he had no choice but to obediently do as he was told.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

As the emcee announced the ceremony, the four couples bowed to the outside.

Click!

It was Zhang Youren's bow that caused the previously clear sky to suddenly become overcast, plunging the world into darkness.

Immediately following, as if the heavens were enraged, countless bolts of lightning, each ten feet thick, pierced through the sky and covered the entire courtyard of Bixia Manor with a tremendous roar.

A faint sound was completely drowned out by a tremendous roar above the manor, and the monsters who had come to the banquet in the courtyard were engulfed by the sea of ​​lightning without even uttering a sound.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

The golden immortals and demon gods in the living room were also alarmed. Their expressions changed drastically as they stood up in horror, looking at the terrifying scene before them, feeling a chill run down their spines.

P.S.: Second update delivered. Old Jade Cauldron crashed, causing a slight delay. Please forgive me!
