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

Chapter 983 Capturing the Yellow-throated Marten: It Was All a Scheme!
"boom!"

The hammer struck the yellow-throated marten directly.

A yellow jade talisman on the yellow-throated marten's neck suddenly lit up, and a layer of energy shield blocked Chen Yang's attack.

However, Chen Yang's other hammer followed immediately.

The hammer struck the same spot.

"Om..."

The yellow jade talisman on the yellow-throated marten's neck suddenly shattered.

Although the hammer lost half its power, it still struck the yellow-throated marten.

"Oh!"

The yellow-throated marten was blasted away and landed heavily dozens of meters away.

……

"Ding! SS-level spirit beast [Yellow-throated Weasel] detected. Encyclopedia entry unlocked. Reward: [Heart-Questioning Pill] *5. Items have been placed in system space and can be retrieved at any time."

……

"Ding, mission issued."

"Mission: Hunt the SS-rank spirit beast [Yellow-throated Weasel], progress (0/1)."

"Reward: Super Animal Growth Essence *2"

……

Ignoring the system's warning, Chen Yang caught up and swung his hammer down on Chen Yang's head.

"puff!"

The yellow-throated marten twisted its body to dodge, then lifted its rear end and released a foul-smelling fart.

The stench was so overwhelming that Chen Yang almost vomited.

He quickly held his breath.

Anger surged within him, and he had no outlet for his pent-up energy.

A hammer was swung out.

After the yellow-throated marten farted, it turned and ran, but it was too slow and was hit on the right hind leg by the hammer.

He stumbled and rolled away.

Seeing Chen Yang chasing after him, he was terrified and got up to run away, limping wildly. But he was in a panic and didn't know where to go, and was soon cornered by Chen Yang in a corner of the valley.

"I surrender! I surrender! Please stop fighting!"

The yellow-throated marten was so frightened by Chen Yang's fierce appearance that it actually knelt down, raised its two paws above its head, and bowed to Chen Yang in a very human-like manner.

Mudd!

Chen Yang was already a bit angry because of its stinky farts, but when it begged for mercy, he gave it a whack first before taking out a red rope and tying it up tightly.

"Spare me, I surrender..."

The yellow-throated marten was terrified. Ignoring its injuries, it said to Chen Yang, "I was just passing by. It was Danyangzi who forced me. I am just a spirit creature in the mountains. Danyangzi is too powerful. I have no choice but to obey him. Please spare my life, sir..."

It was incoherent, fearing that Chen Yang would kill it, and hurriedly used its mental power to communicate with Chen Yang, trying to shift all the blame onto Dan Yangzi, who had already escaped.

"call!"

Chen Yang let out a long sigh, calming the restless blood and qi within his body.

Hearing this, my anger flared up again.

"Kill him! This beast is a liar!" Mo Yuan walked over.

Although it didn't participate in the fight and only made a show of intimidation, it still expended a considerable amount of energy.

"Don't!"

The yellow-throated marten quickly put on a pitiful act, "My lords, please understand, I was really just passing by. I have no grudge against you two, neither of us has it from the past nor now. I was only coerced by Danyangzi. I know where Danyangzi's cave is. If you two spare me this time, I am willing to take you there..."

The tearful tale, with snot and tears streaming down its face, might have genuinely intimidated someone else.

But Chen Yang was not so easily fooled.

"Under Shi Xiangsheng's command, there is a Vajra Bamboo spirit plant at the late stage of the Dao True Realm and a Yellow-throated Sable spirit beast at the mid-stage of the Dao True Realm..." Chen Yang looked at it calmly and directly exposed its trick.

The yellow-throated marten paused upon hearing this, then quickly said, "What? My lord, I don't know what you're talking about. The yellow-throated marten you're referring to isn't me. I'm really just a spirit beast of a rogue cultivator in these mountains, coerced by Danyangzi. If you spare me, my lord, I'm willing to acknowledge you as my master and serve you..."

Hearing this, Chen Yang laughed in exasperation. "Compared to that white fox, you're really pathetic. That white fox, Hu Xuan, is much tougher than you."

This yellow-throated marten and that white fox are truly two extremes.

One of them was incredibly stubborn, refusing to back down even in death, forcing Chen Yang to resort to some means.

The one in front of him had already chickened out before Chen Yang could even make a move.

However, despite his cowardice, this guy's mouth is anything but honest.

"You think we're easy to fool, don't you?"

Mo Yuan stared coldly at the yellow-throated marten in front of him. "You think you can steal my business? If you become my master, what am I supposed to do?"
"I wouldn't dare deceive you two gentlemen; every word I've said is the truth." The yellow-throated marten looked pitiful and on the verge of tears, hoping to evoke a shred of compassion in Chen Yang.

That's a really low-level tactic.

Chen Yang shook his head, too lazy to waste any more words with it, and took out a Spirit-Dispelling Pill. "You said you were willing to acknowledge me as your master, right? Then take this pill."

Pill?

The yellow-throated marten looked at the pill in Chen Yang's hand, its eyes showing a hint of wariness. "What kind of pill is this?"

"Here are some healing pills for you," Chen Yang said.

Healing?

Would this person really be kind enough to heal my wounds?
The yellow-throated marten's wariness did not lessen in the slightest; on the contrary, it intensified.

Its intuition told it that this elixir was definitely not simple.

"If you eat it, I'll believe you're truly willing to acknowledge me as your master, and I can spare your life. But if you don't eat it..."

Chen Yang smiled slightly and casually tossed the pill to Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan, holding the pills, went directly to the yellow-throated marten and said, "Open your mouth."

At this moment, the yellow-throated marten was completely dumbfounded.

This pill is definitely problematic, but I said I was willing to acknowledge it as my master. Now I need it to take this pill to prove its loyalty. If it refuses, my previous words will be proven false, and death will be the only thing waiting for it.

In this situation, what other options are there?
Even if they know the pills are problematic, they have to take them even if they have to hold their noses. As long as they can live, that's better than anything else.

Faced with Mo Yuan's coercion, the yellow-throated marten forced out an ugly smile, opened its mouth, and swallowed the pill that Mo Yuan threw at it.

"My lord, can you release me now?"

The yellow-throated marten wore a human-like, fawning smile, but that smile was more unsightly than a grimace.

Chen Yang didn't even glance at him, and directly put it into the Azure Profound Pearl.

call!
Chen Yang let out a long sigh of relief, and his restless blood and qi gradually calmed down.

A mountain breeze blew by, and my back was already soaked with sweat, feeling a bit cool.

Mo Yuan was exhausted and collapsed to the ground.

Although it didn't make a move just now, it still put in a lot of effort to intimidate the man and the weasel.

"This Bracelet of Formlessness arrived just in time. If it weren't for it, we might not have been able to fool Shen and the others."

Mo Yuan touched the bracelet on his wrist. With everything settled, he felt a little scared.

"It's a pity that Danyangzi got away."

Chen Yang nodded slightly. At first, he didn't think much of the bracelet, but he didn't expect it to make such a great contribution so quickly.

The reason why Danyangzi chose to run away so decisively was largely because he was afraid of Moyuan.

Although Chen Yang tricked him and seriously injured him, given Dan Yangzi's strength, if he stayed to fight, he would not be without the ability to fight back, and might even have a high chance of winning.

Moreover, Chen Yang has already used almost all his tricks. If he really stays to fight head-on, what will Chen Yang have to fight him with?

That's someone who can fight against a late-stage Dao Zhen realm deity. Even if Chen Yang takes the Dao Zhen pill and maxes out his stats, he might not be able to defeat him.

Mo Yuan said, "It's already quite good that we were able to seriously injure him. With his cultivation level, he was determined to escape. Even the one from Bei'e Mountain couldn't stop him, so how could we possibly stop him?"

Chen Yang said, "It's good that he ran away. He killed the white fox, so he should already be under the fox clan's bloodline curse. I just don't know how the Western Mountain Fox Clan will react..."

“His injuries must be quite serious. If the fox clan targets him now, he’ll be in big trouble. It’s a pity. If he dies at the hands of the fox clan, his fortune will probably fall into their hands as well…” Mo Yuan shook his head, feeling both relieved and regretful. “However, this is for the best. At least for a short time, it shouldn’t be able to spare the time to cause us trouble. Once the time is up, we can pack up and leave, leaving him to deal with the fox clan slowly.”

What it regrets is that it didn't get its hands on Danyangzi's assets.

Now, it actually admires its new owner a little.

Despite being at a huge disadvantage against someone like Danyangzi, they were still able to turn the tide so easily.

Although the methods used were somewhat underhanded, they always hit the nail on the head, leaving the opponent with no way to defend against or avoid them.

First, use the Mountain Lord Seal to intimidate and provoke Danyangzi, then take advantage of Danyangzi's rage to have the white fox launch an attack.

In this situation, could Danyangzi refrain from killing the white fox?

This attack fell right into Chen Yang's trap, and the fox clan's bloodline curse immediately took effect. Just when you thought it was all over, who would have thought that the pile of prayer beads inside the white fox's body was the real surprise?

It was all a scheme from beginning to end.

If you don't make a move, all is well; but once you do, you'll be controlled by the nose, and being ambushed will be unavoidable.

Mo Yuan was truly impressed. Compared to Chen Yang, it wasn't shameful that it had been able to be ambushed by him.

Having lived to such an old age, it considered itself incredibly shrewd, but in terms of its ability to scheme against people, it felt it still needed to learn more from Chen Yang.

This is something it simply cannot learn from someone like Zhao Quanzhen.

Chen Yang had no idea what Mo Yuan was thinking. "We can't let our guard down. The fact that he chased us all the way here shows how important the Ten-Leaf Water Bodhi is to him. He definitely won't give up until he gets it..."

"Ah."

Mo Yuan nodded, got up, and disappeared into the distant woods.

A moment later, it emerged from the woods, carrying a golden object in its mouth, and dropped it in front of Chen Yang.

Chen Yang took a look.

It was a palm-sized, golden cone.

The surface of the awl was engraved with many fine incantations, which looked obscure and profound.

However, the awl has developed many cracks, one of which runs almost through the entire awl. It seems that with the slightest force, the awl will split in two.

If I'm not mistaken, the golden light that Danyangzi used to break the attack of the Mountain Lord Seal was this treasure.

"This treasure was able to break the suppression of the Mountain Lord's Seal, it is definitely not an ordinary item, it's just a pity that it's broken..." Mo Yuan said.

Chen Yang nodded slightly.

It was able to break through the Mountain Lord's Seal twice and even survived a blow from Chen Yang's hammer, so its power is truly undeniable.

His hammer, forged from fine gold, was pierced with a large dent, which shows how powerful the awl was.

Unfortunately, it's already broken and definitely unusable.

I just don't know if it can be repaired.

I'll take another look when I get back. If it can't be repaired, the material of this awl is quite good; it can be used for weapon forging.

Chen Yang tossed a bottle of spiritual liquid to Mo Yuan, "Recover a bit, then continue on our way. We need to reach our destination before nightfall..."

……

-

in the afternoon.

The man and the rat hurried along, and by around 3 p.m., they had entered the Dongshan area.

Looking into the distance, one can see a shadow on the horizon, like a majestic city wall stretching across the sky and earth.

That is Dong'e Mountain.

At this moment, Chen Yang was located in a remote corner more than a hundred miles outside the East Mountain in the northeast of the secret realm.

Compared to the area outside the North Mountain, the humidity outside the East Mountain is much higher. Along Chen Yang's journey, many of the mountains and forests contained miasma, and there were also many poisonous creatures and insects.

Not far from their destination, Chen Yang stopped on a hilltop to eat something and plan for the future.

Chen Yang released the yellow-throated marten.

The effects of the Soul-Dispelling Pill had already taken hold. After its primordial spirit dissipated, the Yellow-throated Sable's cultivation level had fallen to the early stage of the Creation Realm, making it even worse off than the White Fox at that time.

After the incident with the white fox, Chen Yang became more cautious about the spirit beasts in this secret realm. This yellow-throated marten might have some powerful background, and if it also had some blood curse, killing it would only invite trouble for no reason.

Therefore, Chen Yang used the same old method: he directly destroyed its primordial spirit with the Soul-Dissolving Pill, causing its cultivation level to drop, and then used the Double Pupil Technique to hypnotize and control it.

This combo has never failed.

Now, the hypnotized yellow-throated marten is much more docile, and even its eyes are clearer than before.

Chen Yang mainly inquired about its background.

Fortunately, this beast had no other background besides being Shi Xiangsheng's spirit pet.

This beast was adept at scheming and was very popular with Shi Xiangsheng. No matter where Shi Xiangsheng went, he liked to keep it close to his body.

Shi Xiang Sheng had a round, luminous mirror. During his seclusion, he entrusted the mirror to Shi Xiang Sheng for safekeeping. It was Shi Xiang Sheng who contacted the white fox after receiving the distress calls from the Wild Dog King and the Golden Eagle King, asking the white fox to return to Fox Fairy Valley to check on the situation. However, unexpectedly, the white fox also sent him a distress call not long after.

So it left its cave and prepared to go to the outside of the North Mountain to check the situation.

He and Danyangzi did indeed meet by chance on the way. He thought that with Danyangzi around, the victory was assured, but who would have thought that Danyangzi would drop the ball halfway and run away, leaving him to be captured alive.

"The Round Mirror is on you?" Mo Yuan asked.

The yellow-throated marten shook its head. "It was left in the cave. I didn't bring it out. I sneaked out..."

"Ah!"

Chen Yang smiled when he heard this.

This yellow-throated marten was a habitual liar and a coward, but it still showed some loyalty when it came to the white fox.

It may be a coward, but when its brothers are in trouble, it will really step up!

"After you got out, did you still keep in touch with Shi Xiang Sheng?" Chen Yang asked.

The yellow-throated weasel said, "No, Master is in the crucial stage of breaking through to the late stage of the Dao True Realm and doesn't have time to check the Round Light Mirror. Only Old Jin and Vajra Bamboo are guarding the pass..."

"So, he hasn't broken through yet, right?"

“When I came out, he hadn’t broken through yet, but his aura was fluctuating greatly, so he should have broken through in the next two days.”

How far is the cave from here?

"About fifty miles away, there's a mountain called Crimson Flame Mountain. There's a large fire jade vein in that mountain, with extremely dense fire attribute energy. My master cultivates a fire attribute technique..."

……

At their pace, they could reach the fifty-mile mountain road in one or two hours at most.

After clarifying the situation, Chen Yang put the yellow-throated marten into the Azure Pearl.

"Master, should we do what we did before and give this stone elephant a good thrashing?"

As Mo Yuan spoke, he made an explosive gesture.

In its mind, this yellow-throated marten was more deserving of death than that white fox. This beast was full of lies and knew how to please people. Wasn't it stealing its job?
If Chen Yang keeps this yellow-throated marten, how will he face the consequences?
Chen Yang said, "Didn't you hear what it said? Besides the Stone Elephant Ascendant, there's also a Vajra Bamboo, a spiritual plant at the late Dao True Realm stage, on that mountain. Trying to sneak in won't be easy. The key is, we've already used up all our prayer beads..."

Huang Daolin gave him twenty prayer beads, which he used up over the past two days. The last ten beads were all given to Danyangzi.

Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan said, "We can make them ourselves. I have the techniques and incantations for making prayer beads. To put it simply, the materials are rare. As long as we have the materials, it's very easy to make them."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's eyes brightened slightly.

Although Chen Yang himself could make prayer beads with his cultivation level, the materials for prayer beads were hard to find.

The best materials for making prayer beads are items like sarira, which can contain spiritual energy.

An empty relic is inscribed with the incantation to trigger the explosion, and then the primordial energy is poured in, and a rosary is born.

Mo Yuan said, "There are actually quite a few methods for making prayer beads. Many sects have similar methods, but the quality of the beads produced is not the same."

"The higher the quality of the materials used in the prayer beads, the higher the cultivation level of the refiner, and the more energy is injected into them, the more terrifying the power of the explosion will be."

"There are many ways to detonate it. The most common are collision detonation and primordial spirit contact detonation. It mainly depends on the incantation..."

"Among these, collision-based detonation methods are relatively simple and brutal, but of course, they are also very dangerous and can easily injure oneself. The advantage is that anyone can use them, even a three-year-old child. They can just throw them out and they will explode. They are usually life-saving methods given to younger generations by elders with high strength..."

"The 'Primordial Spirit Explosion Type' is the same type you used before, Master. This type of prayer bead is much safer, as it requires the primordial spirit to activate the incantation within it to detonate it..."

"Generally speaking, those who can use their primordial spirit are all Dao True Realm beings. The prayer beads used by Dao True Realm beings are naturally of extremely high grade. The advantage is that they are controllable, but the disadvantage is that they are easily exploited..."

"If your opponent is also familiar with the incantations, they might detonate it using their spiritual power before you can even make a move, which could injure them instead..."
