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

Chapter 346 How could you repay kindness with enmity?

After the master of ceremonies announced the ceremony, the Lion Camel King flicked his sleeves, and a stream of magical power flew out and landed in the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, the devastated courtyard was repaired at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Let's not let what just happened spoil everyone's appetite."

Lion Camel laughed and said, "Everyone, eat and drink well today, and don't leave until you're drunk. Don't ruin the old fox god's happy occasion. We'll seek justice for our deceased fellow Daoist another day."

"The Lion Camel King is right. We must not let our fellow Daoists die without knowing why."

The Mighty Bull Demon King raised his cup and said, "We will definitely demand an explanation from them in the future. Today, I'd like to toast everyone first."

"Very well, I will certainly seek justice for you fellow Daoists in the future," the old fox god nodded.

As for what day that would be... none of the demons mentioned it.

The guests in the living room raised their glasses and drank them down in one gulp.

"The newcomer comes forward, but where's the other newcomer?"

At this moment, the emcee's somewhat bewildered voice rang out, attracting the attention of the distinguished guests.

It turned out that after he chanted the rites, the three fox spirits and their husbands, whom they had treated like puppets, all appeared.

Only the white fox was still anxiously searching for Zhang Youren in the living room, but there was no sign of Zhang Youren anywhere.
"They ran away?" The monsters, who were in high spirits, were a little confused.

The scene was too chaotic; no one really paid attention to a human boy.

Only then did they realize that the boy had disappeared.

If a human boy ran away right under the noses of so many great demon gods, where would they put their faces?

Immediately, a demon was about to use magic to search for him.

"Wait a minute, fellow Daoists, my son-in-law is just playing a little joke on you all."

The old fox god smiled and looked at a table in the center of the hall.

The table was covered with a brocade cloth that hung down to the ground in front of it. On top of the cloth were incense burners and fruit, and an ancestral tablet.

The old fox god smiled and lifted the tablecloth, revealing Zhang Youren crouching nervously under the table, his eyes closed as he silently prayed.

The moment the tablecloth was lifted, Zhang Youren turned his head and saw the old fox god's smiling face, as well as the mocking gazes cast by all the monsters in the room.

"that……"

Zhang Youren gave an awkward smile, his mind racing as he tried to come up with an excuse: "I've been terrified of thunder since I was little, and I was just scared."

"It's alright, son-in-law, come out now, the thunder has passed."

The old fox god smiled kindly: "Come out and perform the wedding ceremony. My great-grandfather and Ai'ai's great-grandfather are still waiting to see you get married."

"Ai Ai?"

Zhang Youren looked at the white fox woman in her wedding robes in astonishment.

The fox spirit Ai Ai smiled shyly and stepped forward to help Zhang Youren, whose legs were a little weak, out of the way.

"Well, you wait and see, I understand, but what did our ancestors mean?" Zhang Youren asked curiously.

The old fox god smiled slightly and looked at the memorial tablet on the table.

"The previous generation of the old fox god was truly courageous, actually refining himself into a spiritual treasure and leaving his true spirit within it," a golden immortal demon god said leisurely.

This is also why they didn't make a move against the old fox god when they suspected him.

The old fox spirit was able to settle down in the spiritually rich Bixia Mountain not just because of its good reputation and fame.

This memorial tablet truly represents the essence of Bixia Manor.

The previous generation of the old fox god was very old. It is said that he once served as a minister in the ancient demon court when he was young. Later, the demon court collapsed and he settled here. Later, it was said that he failed and perished when he tried to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

But no one would have thought that he did not die, but instead refined himself into a magical artifact, with his true spirit sleeping within it and being nourished by incense.

Although the memorial tablet was silent at this moment, they could feel the terrifying power that lay dormant within it.

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. My dear son-in-law, come and perform the wedding ceremony!"

The old fox god sat down on the chair above and smiled, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you worship me or not, but you must worship Ai Ai's great-grandfather."

Then Zhang Youren was also led to the front of the hall, where the four couples stood and began to prepare for the ceremony.

"Ha, all talk and no action."

A celestial demon king picked up a piece of food and chuckled softly.

"What is the meaning of your words, fellow Daoist?"

The Lion Camel King's ears twitched, and he glanced behind him, asking telepathically.

The demon king glanced at him, pondered for a moment, then raised his chin and transmitted his voice, "The old fox god's grandfather left behind his true spirit, which follows the path of rebirth through possession. Shouldn't we prepare a superior immortal embryo for his grandfather?"

"Searching for the Immortal Embryo?"

Lion Camel King's ears twitched, and he looked at the grooms, his expression suddenly changing slightly.

"You've discovered it?" the demon king laughed.

"They all have the potential to cultivate immortality, especially that kid..."

Lion Camel King looked at Zhang Youren and pondered, "A body of extraordinary spiritual bones, circulating innate energy... an innate Dao body?"

He was somewhat dumbfounded.

Legend has it that the human race was created by Nuwa based on the image of the god Pangu. They were considered to be in the Dao and were blessed by the heavens and earth, making them the most spiritual among all beings.

Those with the right aptitude cultivate very quickly. Even if a demon painstakingly gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and moon for three hundred years, it may not be a match for a Qi cultivator who has been cultivating for thirty years.

Therefore, demons will undergo tribulation and transform into human form when they reach a certain stage of cultivation.

The so-called transformation is the process of changing one's own structure into a human body through the 'transformation tribulation'.

The innate Dao body is even rarer, one in ten thousand. Even after growing up, it retains its innate state, is born close to the Dao, and can easily sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and perceive the principles of all things in the world.

It is said that all the ancient sages who led the rise of humanity possessed this constitution.

But then he gritted his teeth and said angrily, "With such good conditions, how did this kid manage to grow up without a trace of cultivation?"

"Brother Lion Camel, calm down! Calm down!" the demon king beside him quickly said.

With red eyes, the Lion Camel King gritted his teeth and said, "I want to eat him."

This is like him working hard for thousands of years to earn some gold.
As a result, this kid has a gold mine at home, but he just doesn't bother to mine it, which is incredibly frustrating.

"Brother Lion Camel, I understand how you feel, but calm down, calm down."

The Heavenly Immortal Demon King glanced up at the high place and said sarcastically, "With the emergence of the Innate Dao Body, the old fox probably won't be able to sleep well anymore."

The Lion Camel King took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, then looked at the Demon King beside him in surprise: "By the way, may I ask, fellow Daoist, why are there so many names?"

He hadn't looked closely before, but now that he turned around and took a closer look, he realized that the demon king was actually a monkey.

"It's easy to talk about."

The monkey demon king grinned, revealing a set of snow-white teeth, and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "I am Mi Fan, and I am skilled at gathering secrets and information."

It is a great pleasure to meet the two renowned fellow Daoists, the Roc Demon King and the Lion Camel King, at this grand gathering. I have come forward specifically to make their acquaintance, and I hope they will not find me unworthy.

"Of course, of course! Brother Mi, you've come at the perfect time. My elder brother has been looking to recruit talented people from all over the world," said the Lion Camel King with great joy.

At this moment, Zhang Youren was also reluctantly led to the front of the hall by Ai Ai, who was holding his arm.

"Second bow..."

The emcee began to speak, but was interrupted before he could finish.

"Hahaha... I've finally waited for this moment! I've been waiting for this moment for so long!"

At that moment, the memorial tablet seemed to sense something and awoke from its slumber, emitting a wild laugh and a strange black mist that carried the tablet into the air.

Soon, dark light formed a strange fox face on the memorial tablet, its eyes emitting a ghostly green glow.

Upon witnessing this scene in the living room, all the guests' expressions changed drastically, as the spirit tablet exuded a power that terrified all the demons present.

Only the Lion Camel King and the Macaque Demon King remained calm.

"Grandfather, you've really recovered?" The old fox god stood up in surprise.

The fox-like eyes on the memorial tablet scanned the hall and laughed loudly, "Good grandson, well done! Let me see the body you found for your grandfather..."

The emcee was overjoyed at the sight and exclaimed the last two words: "...Honorable parents!"

Even though Zhang Youren had already witnessed the grand scene, he was still terrified by the strange memorial tablet and fox face, and dared not look directly at it.

Upon hearing the emcee's voice, Zhang Youren readily bowed down.

With this bow, the once clear sky seemed to be enraged by the heavens, without any warning or time for any demon to react.

boom!
With a deafening roar that seemed to shatter both ears, as if the heavens were about to collapse, all the demons in the living room were stunned for a moment, their heads feeling as if they were about to explode.

Even more terrifying than before, towering bolts of lightning, like nine celestial dragons, suddenly descended from the sky and landed in front of the living room's main hall.

The old fox god who was originally in the hall and the fox face that had emerged from the memorial tablet were suddenly covered up.

"Ah! The wrath of the heavens?"

A shocked scream echoed from the sea of ​​thunder: "Which bastard provoked...heavenly...punishment?!"
Ah, I am unwilling, unwilling... Ah!!!

He had witnessed this scene once before in the Demon Court. The Demon Emperor, who held the throne of Heaven and controlled the 'Heavenly Heart,' executed the Great Witch who had angered him in this manner. After a divine punishment, the Great Witch was reduced to nothing but ashes.

At this moment, on the distant, desolate land, a roc suddenly turned its head to look in the direction of Bixia Mountain.

They were quite far away, but the commotion was as if the sky had collapsed and the earth had split open; the sound was likely to resound throughout the four continents.

Why is it heading towards Bixia Manor again...? A glint flashed in the Roc's golden eyes, and then it looked down and saw a red arc of electricity chasing after it like lightning behind it.

Of course, this was also the result of deliberately letting the water flow out.

He admitted that his opponent was fast, and he might not be able to catch up when he was running, but when he was flying at full speed, it would be difficult for his opponent to keep up with him.

"Could it be..."

Seeing the arc of electricity on the ground, he made a guess. He immediately folded his wings and landed on a mountain behind the arc of electricity.

The electric arc that had been rushing forward turned back towards the mountain when it saw this.

stab...

With a hissing sound, an electric arc shot up the mountain and the jade cauldron appeared: "Kid, why aren't you flying anymore?"

"Your running speed is something I have never seen before in my life, and I am far from being able to match it."

Xiao Fei smiled and clasped his hands in a fist salute: "This time, the junior has lost."

Yu Ding smiled and pointed at him: "You little rascal..."

The kid's meaning is clear: he may lose when running, but he may not lose when flying.

"By the way, senior, that commotion just now seemed to be..." Xiao Fei asked tentatively.

Yu Ding stood with his hands behind his back, looked over there and smiled, "That's right, it's Bixia Manor. Someone has incurred the wrath of the heavens."

"Heaven's wrath?"

Xiao Fei was taken aback for a moment, then pondered, "Did you intentionally lead me away from there just now, senior?"

"Okay, it's time for us to go back."

Yu Ding patted the other's arm with satisfaction and said, "I hope you will continue to stay true to your original aspirations, follow the right path, achieve righteous results, and benefit all living beings."

After he finished speaking, arcs of electricity erupted around him.

"Senior, senior..."

Xiao Fei called out twice, but the jade cauldron had already vanished in a flash.

Xiao Fei could naturally tell that it hadn't disappeared, but rather that its speed was so fast that it was beyond the sight of ordinary people, making it appear as if it had vanished.

But with his dynamic vision, he could easily catch it.

This feeling is absolutely right... Xiao Fei looked in the direction the electric arc had disappeared and a smile slowly appeared on his face.

If he was 98% certain about the Taoist's identity before, he's now 100% certain.

"The right path..." Xiao Fei looked up at the sky.

Following my senior brother to overthrow the Dark Heavenly Court and restore order to the world, shouldn't that be considered a blessing for all living beings?
He asked himself softly.

How can it not count...? Xiao Fei smiled. Their grand plan was not for personal gain, but for the benefit of all living beings.

……

At this moment, in the living room of Bixia Villa.

As the divine punishment ended, the distinguished guests slowly came to their senses, only to find that everything before them was bright and clear.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the living room had been split open by divine punishment, with half of it vanishing into thin air.

Also vanished was the old fox god who had been in the high hall; only a corner of wood, still smoking, remained on the ground.

Heaven's wrath?
Curse?

The demon kings and demon gods were still reeling from the shock, processing the dying cry of the previous generation's old fox god.

Only the Lion Camel King, who had just confidently finished his deduction, took a few steps back without making a sound while the demons were still in a daze and slunk away.

That's such a slap in the face!
"Father!"

A sorrowful cry shattered the silence. The eldest daughter of the old fox god, Chiling, stared at the crater in the ground, heartbroken.

Apart from the corner of the smoking wood, there was nothing where the old fox god had been; not even a speck of ash remained.

Ashes!

"Oh God, what have we done wrong that you are punishing us like this?"

The fox girls realized what was happening and stepped forward, weeping bitterly.

A somber atmosphere immediately filled the place.

"Hiss..." Zhang Youren covered his ears and gasped.

The noise just now almost deafened him, and he couldn't hear anything for a long time.

"Young master, you... should leave!"

The fox spirit Ai Ai shed tears like pearls.

"Hey, what did you say?"

Zhang Youren suddenly realized that he could hear again.

The fox girl Ai Ai looked desolate and said in a sorrowful voice, "Father is dead, and the old master is gone too. Our Bixia Mountain fox clan is... finished. You should take advantage of the chaos to find a chance to go down the mountain on your own later."

"Oh, then what are you going to do?" Zhang Youren asked.

The fox-woman Ai Ai shook her head sadly: "Only heaven knows, perhaps..."

"Okay, take care, and see you again someday."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Youren shrank back, keeping a close watch on her surroundings, and slipped away.

What a joke! Having learned his lesson this time, he'll keep his kindness locked away for at least ten or eight years.

Aai:ヽ(`Д)

Isn't it said that human men are the most amorous?
"That kid's trying to run away, don't let him get away."

A sharp-eyed monster quickly spotted Zhang Youren and shouted.

Just as they were about to make their move, a flash of lightning suddenly appeared in the courtyard, and Zhang Youren immediately disappeared.

This left the demons and immortals who rushed out empty-handed.

Then, as the group of guests watched the graceful fox spirits weeping uncontrollably, their gazes gradually turned strange.

"Old Fox God, you may go in peace!"

A guest stepped forward and cried, but his gaze was fixed on the fox spirits.

"Yes, after you leave, we will take care of your wife and daughters, so don't worry!"

Upon hearing this, the fox girls immediately turned deathly pale.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a cry that could shatter gold and split rocks rang out, and a roc spread its wings and landed, transforming into a small bird that coldly swept over the demons.

One by one, the monsters were captivated by his gaze and turned their heads away, not daring to meet his eyes.

"If you die, I'll take care of your wife and children, how about that?" Xiao Fei's expression was cold and stern.

Just as the Bull Demon King was about to choose a fox-woman concubine, he immediately said righteously, "Brother Peng is right. It's a pity that the old fox god treated you as friends when he was alive."

Now that he's gone, you dare say such things? Humph, I, the Bull Demon King, am ashamed to be associated with you! Tui!

The Roc Demon King cast an approving glance at him.

……

at this time.

When Zhang came to his senses, he found himself lying in the mountains and forests.

Beside him on a rock, a figure with an air of otherworldly grace stood with his back to him.

"But did the immortal save me?" Zhang Youren asked cautiously.

Yu Ding smiled slightly: "It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning!"

"Really? Thank you, Immortal... Ah!"

Zhang Youren was overjoyed and was about to clasp his hands and bow in respect, but as soon as he took a step, he saw Yu Ding sweep his whisk and fly away.

"Damn it, how could you repay kindness with enmity?" Yu Ding turned around, speechless.

Although it wouldn't shorten his lifespan, he didn't want to be struck by lightning every day!
Thinking about it carefully, he's only had two major mishaps in his life.

One time, he fell off a cloud after encountering the unlucky Jiang Ziya.

This is the second time...
