After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 978 SS-level Illusion Immunity, What Did You Feed Me?
"Don't waste your energy, he won't come!" the white fox said telepathically.

"Oh?"

Chen Yang looked at it in surprise.

The white fox said, "He is in seclusion breaking through to a higher realm, so he can't come at all. You won't be able to wait for him."

Chen Yang frowned, unable to confirm whether the beast was telling the truth or not.

The white fox suddenly grinned, "But don't worry, I've already passed on your appearance to him. Once he emerges from seclusion, he will definitely kill you to avenge me. You lowly human, all you know is how to use underhanded methods. When he comes after you, it will be your death day..."

Its mental energy fluctuated violently, as if it were cursing Chen Yang with the most vicious words.

In its view, the reason it had fallen to its current state and allowed Chen Yang to succeed was simply because it had fallen for his schemes. If they had fought fairly, it was hard to say who would have won.

"Is it?"

Chen Yang chuckled lightly, "Then he'd better hurry up and get out of seclusion. I can't stay here for more than a few days. If I miss this opportunity, I'm afraid I'll have to wait a hundred years to kill me again..."

The white fox continued to glare fiercely at Chen Yang, as if trying to memorize his face so that it could become a vengeful ghost and seek revenge.

"Where is he in seclusion?" Chen Yang asked.

"hehe."

The white fox laughed maniacally, "Do you think I'd tell you? Don't even dream about it. Your master's strength is beyond the comprehension of a lowly wretch like you. Just wait for his revenge..."

Do you think I can't do anything to you if you don't tell me?

"Haha, I'm not even afraid of death, what can you do to me? You can try, even if you slowly slice me to pieces, do you think I'll beg for mercy even a little bit?"

The white fox seemed to have given up entirely; from the moment the bell was removed, it had already abandoned all hope.

Without the bell, what meaning does a fox's life have?
"it is good!"

Chen Yang gave it a thumbs up, "I hope you can always be this brave."

Even without the bell, he still has the guts. This beast is truly ruthless.

Chen Yang took out a Spirit-Dispelling Pill and tossed it to Mo Yuan, saying, "Feed it!"

Without a word, Mo Yuan pried open the white fox's mouth and forcibly fed it the pill.

"What did you feed me?" The white fox stared at Chen Yang with bloodshot eyes.

"You say you're not afraid of death? You'll find out soon enough. Some things are more terrifying than death!"

Chen Yang shrugged, said no more to the white fox, and with a wave of his sleeve, put it into the Azure Profound Pearl.

……

"Ding, mission complete. Hunted SS-level spirit beast [White Fox King]*1. Reward: [SS-level Illusion Immunity], experience points +100000."

……

"Physical constitution: SS-level illusion immunity".

"Description: 100% immune to SS-level illusions, unaffected by mental interference."

……

Suddenly, Chen Yang felt a warm current flow into his mind.

My brain felt like it was being immersed in a warm ocean, which was exceptionally comfortable.

After a short while, the feeling subsided, and Chen Yang opened his eyes. There was nothing else unusual, except that his mind felt a little clearer.

-

Name: Chen Yang.

Physical constitution: SS-level illusion immunity, S-level biological toxin immunity, A-level all-system toxin immunity.

-

I pulled up the system panel and took a look.

The "Constitution" attribute hasn't changed in a long time. Originally, Illusion Immunity was only Grade A, but this time it has jumped directly to Grade SS.

In other words, illusions and similar things cast by Dao Zhen Realm experts will no longer affect him or deceive his eyes.

It's actually quite useful.

A slight smile appeared on Chen Yang's face.

"Master, why aren't we killing this beast?" Mo Yuan was furious and wanted to stab the white fox a few more times.

For even this mouse to harbor such hatred, this white fox truly deserves to die.

"Not urgent."

Chen Yang didn't explain, but walked towards the wild elephant king.

Its enormous body was like a mountain of flesh.

This was the first time Chen Yang had ever seen such a huge creature. Just lying on the ground, it was five or six meters tall, comparable to a prehistoric dinosaur.

At this moment, the wild elephant king had lost too much blood, his body was still convulsing, and his life force was extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

Its face was blackened by the white fox's liquid, oozing disgusting pus, and its body was covered in a mixture of vomit, excrement, and blood.

The stench was overwhelming and utterly disgusting.

Even Mo Yuan, a creature who frequently deals with sewers, was somewhat hesitant to approach.

The wound on the neck of the wild elephant king, inflicted by the white fox, was a shocking sight.

He had almost bled to death, and the Wild Elephant King's primordial spirit had been shattered by the white fox. At this moment, his pupils were dilated, and he was only barely holding on with a sliver of consciousness.

As Chen Yang approached, it weakly channeled its spiritual energy towards him, seemingly begging him to save it.

Chen Yang looked at it and shook his head.

This wild elephant had done him a favor, and if possible, saving its life wouldn't be a problem.

However, its current situation is beyond saving, and there is nothing that can be done.

"Ho..."

The King of Elephants let out a desperate cry, but only a faint hoarse sound could be heard from its throat.

Finally, it closed its eyes, its life force dissipated, its consciousness shattered, and it stopped breathing.

……

"Ding, mission complete. Hunted SS-level spirit beast [Wild Elephant King]*1. Reward: [Hundred Elephant Pill]*1, experience points +100000."

……

A message appeared, announcing the death of the wild elephant king.

Ugh!
Chen Yang sighed.

The strong prey on the weak; that's fate.

Mo Yuan rushed forward immediately, intending to extract the inner core from the Wild Elephant King's body.

However, after searching for a long time, they could not find any trace of the inner elixir.

"Master, its inner core has probably dissolved into its blood and dispersed," Mo Yuan reported with some disappointment.

The white fox drained its blood, and the wild elephant king, in order to survive, must have used its inner core to transform the blood and maintain the functions of its body. Thus, the inner core was naturally gone.

Chen Yang wasn't disappointed.

This wild elephant king truly died unjustly. If it had been a little more cowardly, hadn't provoked that white fox, or had been more cautious during the fight, it wouldn't have ended up like this.

Mo Yuan's eyes darted around. "Isn't it said that the Bashe likes to eat elephants? I see that quite a few wild elephants have died over there. We might as well make good use of them."

"Ok!"

Chen Yang had the same idea.

……

-

More than half an hour later, Chen Yang returned to the valley where the Udumbara flower was located.

It was already past 2 p.m.

"Senior, look what I brought you!"

At the entrance of the cave, Chen Yang took the white fox out of the Azure Pearl.

"Pfft!"

The white fox, bound with a red rope, was thrown to the ground, looking quite disheveled.

"It's that beast!"

The Udumbara flower clearly recognized the white fox at a glance, and immediately used its medicinal energy to condense a sword light, which instantly attacked the white fox.

"Keng!"

Chen Yang dared not let it die now, so he quickly slashed out with his sword, shattering the medicinal aura of the Udumbara flower.

"what are you doing?"

When the Udumbara flower saw that Chen Yang had actually stopped her from killing this fiend, she was immediately enraged.

"Senior, don't worry, this guy can't die yet."

Chen Yang quickly said, "I'm still counting on it to find out where the person behind it is."

Upon hearing these words, the anger that had been building up in the Udumbara flower dissipated considerably.

"So that's how it is, it was you..."

The white fox looked into the cave and immediately understood everything.

Without a doubt, it was this Udumbara flower that hired someone to commit murder.

"If only I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

The Udumbara flower's voice was icy: "You wicked creature, you have sown the seeds of your past deeds, and today you are reaping the fruits of your actions. Your retribution is yet to come."

"Insanity."

The white fox sneered, "You think this brat can handle my master? Don't even think about it. He already knows everything and will come to take you down sooner or later..."

This guy is really arrogant; even though he's about to die, he's still so stubborn.

"Old man, you probably don't know how miserable that bitch cried before she died, how much she regretted not listening to you, hahaha..." "You're asking for it!"

"Haha, if you have the guts, kill me now. Otherwise, once my master emerges from seclusion, you might not have the chance. Don't think that just because you're protected by innate Dao patterns, we can't do anything to you. The only reason we haven't come looking for you all these years is because your precious flower is no longer of any use to us..."

"And this kid who appeared out of nowhere, you'll pay the price for everything you've done. Because of such a rare herb, you've provoked the wrong person. This will be the most foolish decision you've ever made..."

"Asshole..."

The Udumbara flower trembled with rage and immediately tried to gather medicinal energy to kill it.

But Chen Yang stopped him, saying, "Senior, why bother arguing with a dying beast, especially one that has been castrated..."

"you……"

Upon hearing this, the white fox immediately lost its composure, "Boy, I'll kill you..."

Although it was bound by a red rope, it still tried to bite Chen Yang, and its fierce expression was truly frightening.

With its bell removed, Chen Yang had stripped it of its dignity as a male fox, and its hatred for Chen Yang had solidified into a tangible force. "Go ahead and kill me if you dare..."

"If you want to die, you'll have plenty of opportunities."

Chen Yang looked at it calmly, "Tell me where Shi Xiang Sheng is in seclusion first, and I'll send you to your death right away!"

"Haha, dreaming."

The white fox spat out a mouthful of blood; it really was a tough nut to crack.

Chen Yang has encountered many ferocious beasts, but few are as tough as this white fox.

Its toughness wasn't feigned; it was genuine. It showed no fear whatsoever, wasn't afraid of death at all, and even wished Chen Yang would kill it quickly.

madman!

Chen Yang cursed inwardly, then said, "You think I can't do anything to you just because you don't tell me?"

"Humph."

The white fox snorted coldly, showing no interest.

Chen Yang said, "You didn't think that what I gave you earlier was some kind of powerful healing tonic, did you?"

Upon hearing this, the white fox's eyes flickered uncertainly.

Check your body immediately.

It drank a lot of the wild elephant king's spiritual blood, and now the energy in the blood is dissolving in its body, its injuries are being repaired, and its condition is improving.

What exactly did this kid feed himself?
Chen Yang shook his head.

This Mind-Dispelling Pill is slow to take effect, but by the time its effects kick in, the illness has already progressed to a critical stage and is beyond repair.

Chen Yang was too lazy to wait any longer, so he took out a few silver needles and pricked the white fox a few times.

Immediately, the effects of the medicine took hold.

"what have you done?"

The white fox quickly realized something was wrong; its primordial spirit and spiritual power seemed to be corroded by something, and were rapidly dissipating.

"Have you heard of the Soul-Dissolving Pill? It can dissolve your primordial spirit, erode your spiritual power, cause your cultivation to regress, and fall to the mortal realm..."

"Ah!"

The white fox paused for a moment, then laughed, "I'm not even afraid of death, why would I be afraid of my cultivation regressing?"

It's utterly ridiculous; this kid must be crazy.

"Don't worry, you'll find out why soon!"

Chen Yang smiled but didn't explain, simply waiting for the effects of the Rejuvenating Pill to be released.

"you……"

The white fox wanted to say something, but the dissipation of its primordial spirit and the rapid loss of its spiritual power made it feel dizzy from low blood sugar.

It shook its head vigorously, trying to stay awake.

Time passed second by second. Under the influence of the Soul-Dissolving Pill, the white fox's primordial spirit collapsed, its three flowers withered, and its cultivation level continued to decline.

Late stage of Dao Zhen Realm, Middle stage of Dao Zhen Realm, Early stage of Dao Zhen Realm...

He continued to fall until he reached the realm of creation.

Mo Yuan watched from the side. He had already experienced the power of the Soul-Dissolving Pill before. Now, seeing the White Fox's realm plummet, he felt a deep sense of emotion.

My new master is really too cunning.

A late-stage Dao Realm cultivator, yet he was manipulated so easily. He's so young, but his cunning is truly terrifying.

Late stage of the Creation Realm, Middle stage of the Creation Realm, Early stage of the Creation Realm!
It wasn't until the early stage of the Creation Realm that the white fox's cultivation finally stabilized, and the medicinal power of the Soul-Dispelling Pill was fully released.

Just like Mo Yuan before him, his cultivation level almost fell to the Spirit Realm.

The white fox lay on the ground, its primordial spirit scattered, its spiritual energy depleted, and its body wounded, leaving it on the verge of death.

"That's all you're made of, kid. Don't you have the guts to kill me?"

It raised its head to look at Chen Yang; although weak, its eyes were still full of ferocity.

Mo Yuan watched from the side, completely baffled. As the saying goes, a great man can bend and stretch, so why is this beast so stubborn?
"look into my eyes!"

Just then, Chen Yang stood in front of the white fox.

The white fox subconsciously looked at Chen Yang, and their gazes met instantly.

boom!
The white fox felt as if a thunderclap had struck its mind. Chen Yang's eyes seemed to possess boundless magic, threatening to drag it into an abyss.

Oh no, it's a pupil technique!

The white fox's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately realized something was wrong.

It is an expert in illusion magic, a talent of the fox clan. White foxes are born with a natural talent for eye magic, so it was no surprise that Chen Yang was using eye magic on it.

Almost instinctively, it tried to mobilize its primordial spirit to resist.

Normally, dealing with such a pupil technique would be incredibly easy for the white fox.

Chen Yang's behavior was undoubtedly like showing off one's skills in front of Guan Yu; it could even turn the tables and control Chen Yang.

However, when it tried to mobilize its primordial spirit, it discovered that its primordial spirit had collapsed, and even the spiritual power in its spiritual platform had been scattered.

In that instant, it suddenly understood.

Chen Yang fed it the Mind-Dispelling Pill so that he could control it with his pupil technique.

"Do not……"

A hint of fear finally appeared on the white fox's face.

It was very clear what it would mean if it were controlled by the eye technique.

It tried to bite its own tongue to stay conscious, but its tongue was already gone.

No, you can't...

The white fox was terrified and tried to struggle and self-destruct.

However, bound by the red rope and with his body restricted, self-destruction was out of the question. He could only watch helplessly as his consciousness waned and he was pulled into an abyss by Chen Yang's gaze.

……

Putting everything else aside, this beast's willpower is truly remarkable.

Even though its cultivation level had fallen to the early stage of the Creation Realm, it still took Chen Yang a lot of effort to completely hypnotize and control it.

The fox clan's talent in mental arts such as illusion and hypnosis is indeed unmatched by other races.

If we hadn't given it a mind-dispelling pill beforehand, we probably wouldn't have been able to control it.

At this moment, the white fox lay on the ground panting, but it no longer had any of its previous arrogance. The look in its eyes as it looked at Chen Yang was also much gentler and more submissive.

"Tell me, where is Shi Xiang Sheng in seclusion?" Chen Yang asked directly.

The white fox's spirit fluctuated slightly. "He has been in seclusion for several months in a desolate mountain outside Dongshan, trying to break through to the late stage of the Dao True Realm. I've noticed his aura fluctuating wildly these past few days, so he'll probably break through in the next few days..."

"Outside Dongshan?"

"Yes, after he went into seclusion, I left the desolate mountains and traveled around. Today I received a message from him asking me to come back to Fox Fairy Valley. He said that Old Dog and the others were asking for help. I happened to be in the Northern Region, so I rushed over as fast as I could..."

"Since he's in seclusion, don't you need to have someone guard him?"

“He has more than just me as his spirit beast; he also has a yellow-throated weasel and a Vajra Bamboo spirit plant. Although they are not as strong as me, they are enough to guard the pass for him…”

"Oh?"

Chen Yang raised an eyebrow. "What level are these two at?"

"The Yellow-throated Sable is at the mid-stage of the Dao True Realm, and the Vajra Bamboo is already at the late-stage of the Dao True Realm."

The white fox is now completely open and honest, saying everything she knows without reservation.

Mo Yuan and the Udumbara flower watched from the side, both of them prostrating themselves in awe.

Chen Yang asked, "Who is this Shi Xiang Sheng?"

The white fox said, "He entered when the secret realm opened last time. We met by chance. At first, he planted a strange poison in my body, forcing me to follow him. Later, he gave me many benefits and even helped me break through to the Dao True Realm, so I truly followed him..."

"According to him, he is the sect leader of the Yuling Sect, which seems to be a branch of the Pingtian Sect. It was founded by a direct descendant of the Pingtian Sect, and he is the only son of this direct descendant, so his status is very noble..."

“I grew up in this grotto-heaven and know nothing about the outside world. I don’t know anything about the Pingtian Sect, but I often hear Shi Xiang Sheng say how powerful the Pingtian Sect is. He said that it was once the number one sect in the world with countless disciples, but I don’t know if it’s true or not…”

……

A direct descendant of the Pingtian Sect?
Shi Xiang Sheng, is his surname Shi?

Could it be that he has some connection with that Stone Lord?
But why does this person look so much like Ding Huanchun?

Was it a coincidence?

Chen Yang's brows furrowed and remained so for a long time.

If this person is a member of the Pingtian Sect, then it's not hard to understand why he would choose to linger in the Nine Elders Cave Secret Realm.

Avoid disaster!

One hundred and twenty-five years ago, as a remnant of the Pingtian Sect, this person's life was probably not easy.

There's nowhere safer than hiding in this secret realm.
