Wet viviparity

Chapter 765 Gods and Demons, Disagreements
Black Owl ignored Zhao Chi's words, insisting on having a small banquet first before discussing anything else, leaving no room for argument.

"Lim!"

In front of the main hall, Black Owl raised his hand and pointed at Snow Spirit Mother, laughing, "If only you had known this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place. If you had believed my words from the beginning, I would have wholeheartedly guided you."

But your attitude has been arrogant and dismissive every time you've tried to teach me. Even if you suddenly realize your mistake now, what good will it do?

Xue Yinglingmu captured the Fire Crow Child hiding in the poisonous cloud above and said, "Your Majesty, I have come here to atone for my mistake. This child was sent by the Lord of Dongji Island, and his purpose is unknown. I have captured him and handed him over to Your Majesty for disposal."

Fire Crow Boy had already fainted, and purple aura had appeared under his skin, indicating that he had been deeply poisoned.

"Nonsense!"

Xiao Qinggu scolded Xue Yinglingmu, "I think you are harboring evil intentions. You know that the Dongji Ranfeng Island Master is strong-willed, yet you still dare to offend her and capture her disciples and children on the island. I think you are bringing disaster to the Lingfu."

"It's not like this."

Upon seeing Xiao Qinggu's anger, Xue Yinglingmu's composure, which she had been relying on, dissipated somewhat, and she became visibly flustered.

Lingmu wasn't necessarily afraid of Black Owl, but she was extremely apprehensive about Little Green Maiden.

It wasn't that I feared her magical abilities, but rather that I worried about her unpredictable nature. She would strike without warning, seemingly even more so than I did with my own wickedness.

Xueyinglingmu woke the boy up and asked him to tell her about his mission, but the boy cursed at Xueyinglingmu.

"You scoundrel, you deserve to have wasted your thousand years of cultivating your Taoist arts."

"Given your inherently jealous, cunning, suspicious, and cowardly nature, even if you wanted to correct your past mistakes and become a disciple of a celestial master, whichever blind person would accept you would only be creating unnecessary trouble and calamity for themselves in the future."

"Shuzi!"

Enraged, Xue Yinglingmu's eyes blazed with a fierce light, her body bristling with steel feathers. Poisonous energy emanated from her body, spinning like a wheel. Just as she was about to poison the boy, she was stopped by Xiao Qinggu's Bewitching Yin Demon.

"Enough." Black Owl snorted coldly, unable to maintain basic patience with Snow Spirit Mother any longer, and said without any politeness, "Get out. The Cold Netherworld Spirit Mansion is not your inner poison nest, and you are not allowed to run wild here."

"You dare to expel me! You actually dare to expel me!"

Xue Yinglingmu felt extremely humiliated and was filled with shame and anger. Her past fears vanished. An infant flew out of her womb and with a wave of its arms, it summoned billowing poisonous breath from the various nests outside the mansion. At the same time, the demon's eyes shone brightly.

The Fire Crow Boy was terrified upon seeing this and cried out, "Beware of her demonic magic, the 'Mirror of Mind'! This magic can cloud a person's senses and consciousness; once struck, one will fall into a coma and die!"

"Demon magic!"

Zhao Chi's face turned pale, and he let out a miserable cry.

I never expected that I would have to make such a monstrous enemy so soon after arriving here.

The next moment, the wind and clouds surged within the Spirit Palace, the crystal walls shimmered, and countless cinnabar veins burst forth. Before Xue Yinglingmu could even cast a spell or channel her energy, she was already moved outside the cold barrier of the Spirit Palace.

"This wicked man must not be allowed to live."

Xiao Qinggu said very seriously.

Black Owl hesitated for a moment. In his view, he had already done a lot of work on Snow Spirit, and now he only needed to use force to intimidate her to make her submit. But Little Green Girl did not have that patience and could not tolerate such an offense.

In this way, even if Black Owl subdues Snow Spirit, Little Green Girl and the other party will still be irreconcilable enemies.

Thinking this way, he abandoned the idea of ​​subduing it. This demon was ultimately incorrigible and would kill at the slightest provocation. In any case, he could kill the demon and then capture its soul to learn about the ancient kingdom.

Black Owl said, "This wicked creature possesses considerable supernatural powers, yet the lady shows no fear. However, the Yin spirit has already gained immense benefits from descending to the underworld."

"I couldn't hide it from you, my ancestor Zhong Chengzi. He learned of the method my husband had mastered and felt that it was a promising one. He took a liking to my talent and bestowed upon me a 'Vajra Guangfa Divine Demon' that he had personally subdued, asking me to use this divine demon to protect you on your path."

Furthermore, in the ancestral temple, I met the Purple-Faced Golden Granny, who, upon hearing of your story, said that if you truly attain enlightenment and establish a lineage of Dharma on land, the Tibetan Spirit Sect will certainly provide strong support.

Xiao Qinggu took out a secret sword with two Heart-Severing Locks on it, one added by Zhong Chengzi and the other completed by Xiao Qinggu.

If any god or demon dares to disobey in the slightest, these two restraints can easily make them submit. The restraint added by Zhong Chengzi alone is enough to make a god or demon wish for death rather than suffer the pain of this restraint.

When the sword was retrieved, the light in the spirit palace was dim.

Black Owl sensed something and hurriedly looked up. The sliver of cloud above was no longer visible; it was completely dark, accompanied by a rumble of thunder.

"not good."

Zhao Chi's eyes had been cleansed by his teacher's nectar magic, making them clear and bright. After seeing the scene above, he shouted, "That evil spirit is using the Five Elements Escape Technique to move the cliff tops of the gorge one by one, intending to use the cliffs to smash down the spirit palace."

Xiao Qinggu struck out with the altar, which flew out like a chessboard and instantly grew larger. She climbed onto the altar, faced the falling cliff, let her braids fall loose, pointed her sword at the sky, and a large ball of golden dust, formed from gods and demons, rushed towards the sword's point, rushing up outside the mansion and steadily supporting the top of the cliff that had been toppled. Its momentum did not diminish, and it supported the top of the cliff against the current.

"You lowly servant deserve to die."

Xue Yinglingmu's voice came from all directions, and she said angrily, "Adulterous couple, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You just exposed my mistake in practicing the mysterious technique, which dampened my spirit. Now you're using your magic to defeat my spirit, make me disheartened, and force me to submit."

I have cultivated myself for a thousand years, enjoying endless power and blessings, all thanks to my own efforts.

If you speak kindly, I may patiently learn from you. But if you are determined to destroy my spirit and turn me into your servant, to be at your beck and call, I will not do as you wish. Today I will show you whether my mistakenly practiced mystical arts can truly surpass your orthodox mystical teachings.”

"Stubborn fool." The boy, hiding beside the black owl, shouted, "I've been gone for so long, the island lord must have sensed it. You still dare to vent your anger here. This day next year will be your death anniversary."

Upon hearing the boy's words, Xueyinglingmu was indeed frightened and remained silent.

Black Owl was not mistaken. Xue Yinglingmu was still a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. She had even tolerated Black Owl's occupation of Xiaoci Gorge for more than half a year, let alone the Lord of Dongji Ranfeng Island.

At the top of the gorge, the fallen cliff head had been restored. The ball of gold dust was sprinkled down from the top of the gorge, originally intended to force out the figure of Xue Yinglingmu by spreading the gold dust widely. However, even after being sprinkled down to the bottom of the spirit palace, her figure could not be revealed.

"This old demon's true form must be hiding in a poisonous hole in the wall. We must be careful of her fickle and elusive infant."

Fire Crow Boy reminded him.

"Search!"

Xiao Qinggu sat on the altar, opened the seal of an earthen jar, and released the hundreds of little ghosts she had been raising inside.

At the same time, his spirit left his body and attached itself to the Earthly Demon Flame Fork. Using the most magical and wondrous power of the fork, "Demon Transcendental Power," he commanded the hundreds of ghosts at will, causing them to rush into the wall and search.

Seeing Xiao Qinggu's demonic power, Zhao Chi felt a chill and admitted that he was no match for this junior brother Jiang's wife.

Black Owl sighed. Since Little Green Girl came to his side and participated in the verification of the new method, she has gained a lot. Her magic has increased day by day and she has gradually come to understand its subtleties. He himself has become a mere supporting character.

After taking the two fans from the Chaotic Pool, Black Owl said, "Boy, you stay in the manor. Senior Brother Zhao, come with me to the bottom of the gorge. There is an altar of mine there. We must be careful that this fiend doesn't ruin the rituals on my altar."

Given Xueyinglingmu's temperament, if she fails to achieve anything after a prolonged attack outside the mansion, she will inevitably sabotage his rituals, or perhaps she had this intention from the beginning.

Fire Crow Boy felt slighted by Black Owl's arrangement, but with the lingering poison in his body, he could barely walk, let alone fight, so he had no choice but to obey.

"Madam, let us go down and investigate first."

With that, Black Owl and Zhao Chi plunged down to the bottom of the canyon.

The Spirit Mansion was more than a thousand feet from the bottom of the gorge. Logically speaking, it would only take a short while to descend. However, the two flew for quite a while and were still in mid-air, neither going up nor down. Black Owl immediately sensed something was wrong and noticed something amiss.

"This demon is so skilled in the Five Elements Escape Technique that he secretly used the Five Elements Boundary Extension Technique on me and Zhao Chi, causing our escape route to keep extending and never reaching its end."

Black Owl abruptly stopped in mid-air, grabbed Zhao Chi, turned sharply, and charged in the opposite direction. Sure enough, the scene below had changed drastically. It was no longer as hazy as before, and one could vaguely see an infant lying in the hot mist above the Gan River, looking at it with a sinister gaze.

"I've actually been infected."

Zhao Chi was covered in sweat. He looked at the baby below and then at his junior brother Jiang, who was holding him back.

He thought to himself, "Something's not right. Something's not right at all. This kind of battle has reached the point where it's a contest of eyesight and knowledge. Even if Junior Brother Jiang has been cultivating since birth, he's only been doing it for a little over ten years. How could he see through the opponent's magic at a glance? Could it really be as Master said, that this child has profound innate wisdom?"

"Does Senior Brother know the method of Chan chanting?"

Black Owl asked telepathically.

Zhao Chi's eyes darted around, and he forced a smile, saying, "I can't hide it from you, junior brother. In recent years, I have been studying Buddhism, and I have naturally also dabbled in the chanting of the Heavenly Dragon."

"it is good."

Black Owl nodded slightly and transmitted his voice again: "This fiend is hiding his true body in the poisonous cave while diverting his attention to make this infant hide at the bottom of the canyon. He is acting from two directions, one in the light and one in the dark. My wife is holding him off in the light, while he is clearly trying to destroy my altar in the dark to vent his anger."

However, there are many obstacles set up by my wife and me at the altar, and it will take at least half an hour to break through them.

Although this infant was obtained through a misunderstanding caused by the interaction of the five elements, its magical power is not to be underestimated. Even if we join forces, we may not necessarily gain the upper hand.

Fortunately, both our physical body techniques and the Buddhist teachings we practice are effective against evil spirits. I will go down to confront them later, and you should hide to the side and wait for my signal.

Given this demon's nature, he is most cunning and suspicious. Without your presence, he cannot concentrate on dealing with me. If I hum twice during our battle, you will join me in chanting, which will surely catch us off guard and shake the old demon's primordial spirit that controls this infant.

"Good idea." Zhao Chi praised first, then said, "Junior brother, be careful of this demon's supernatural powers."
