Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

No, this fluttering moth seems to be plotting something against him, even if it's ugly, that's the same excuse.

"Well, ma'am, as you can probably tell, I'm just a weak scholar and I really don't have the ability to pull you up. I'll go and call for help for you."

Thin and frail? Yingying looked at the slender Hyuga Hoshino and thought it seemed right. Little did she know that when Hyuga Hoshino took off his robe, he was also a man with eight-pack abs and arms that looked like they could run a horse across the back.

“If you go to call for help now, young master, there’s no village or shop in sight. It would take who knows how long to find someone, and I might already be dead. Why don’t you grab onto the tree on the edge of the cliff and reach out to me?”

"May I ask, how much does the young lady weigh?"

Yingying could only manage a polite yet awkward smile. No matter what kind of being it was, as long as it took human form and was female, it cared about its weight.

Yingying was initially reluctant, but now she only wanted to kill Hyuga Hoshino as soon as possible and absorb everything from him.

“Young master, you are indeed being presumptuous. You can tell how heavy I am at a glance.”

Upon closer inspection, Hinata Hoshino realized she didn't have an "S" shaped figure, but rather a "B" shaped figure—not good in the front, but good in the back. Nice face.

"Upon seeing that the young lady is plump and strong, I am powerless to help her and will take my leave."

Upon hearing this, Yingying looked down at herself and realized that she had been exposed. No matter how you looked at her, she had nothing to do with being fat and strong.

Chapter 167 The Three Demon Formation

However, Yingying couldn't understand why she and her two younger sisters had spent so much time in the mortal realm. It was perfectly normal for Susu and Qingqing to be discovered by some powerful figures because they couldn't conceal their demonic aura.

However, she was discovered in a single encounter, something unprecedented. Even Mao Xiaofang, a grandmaster, needed to get close to Yingying before discovering she was a demon.

"Ugly bald monk, prepare to die."

"Don't swear at me, I'm your Taoist priest giegie."

Yingying opened her mouth and blew out poisonous powder, enveloping Hyuga Hoshino. At the same time, moth silk, like sharp swords, was hidden within the powder and pierced towards Hyuga Hoshino.

"Dang"

Hyuga Hoshino opened his palms, protecting his throat. The silken threads struck his palms with a metallic clang.

He opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing all the poisonous powder. Then he let out a burp. This was the poison resistance that came with the Qilin bloodline. This rendered the moth demon's poison completely useless.

Yingying realized that her poison and silk threads couldn't break through her defenses at all, and she was already considering retreating. However, the situation was beyond her control. If Hinata Hoshino wanted to keep her here, how could she possibly escape?

Moreover, these are the only two abilities she can use. She can summon wind and rain on a small scale, but it's not very useful. In a head-on confrontation, a gust of wind might at most obstruct her vision and make it easier to escape.

His own poison and silk threads had no effect on him, let alone his two younger sisters.

She wanted to use her demonic powers to send a message to her two younger sisters to retreat, while she stayed behind to keep Hinata Hoshino occupied.

Unexpectedly, her two younger sisters saw her, their scheme exposed, and they were already approaching from a distance, intending to ambush Hyuga Hoshino from behind.

Hinata Hoshino shook his head helplessly. Why is it that someone always tries to ambush someone with the Byakugan?

She raised the lantern and shone it on the two moth demons behind her. The light shone brightly, and the two moth demons were severely injured. Yingying, the eldest sister, cried out in alarm.

"Susu, Qingqing".

Under the aura-observation technique, the bloody aura above the three demons' heads proved that quite a few people had died at their hands.

"What a beautiful display of sisterly affection. But when you were killing and taking lives, did you ever think about the victims, who also had families living in the world, and how sad their loved ones must be?"

"What a righteous and awe-inspiring Taoist priest. I don't believe you haven't shed a drop of blood on your hands. Stop with your hypocrisy."

"I have indeed had a lot of blood on my hands, but I am full of good deeds, punishing evil and promoting good."

Hinata Hoshino unleashed a murderous aura, and the three demons felt their breath catch in their throats. How many lives had he killed? It was as if mountains of corpses and seas of blood appeared before their eyes.

"Sister, don't waste your breath on him, let's set up the formation."

There's also an array? Well, it's impossible that the ascension technique they obtained didn't come with some bonuses.

However, this kind of technique reeks of low-quality online games, indicating its poor quality. Otherwise, they wouldn't say that after cultivating for at least several hundred years, all they can do is release poison and spit silk, without knowing anything else. They're even worse than a caterpillar, which can at least learn an electric net skill.

Upon hearing Su Su's words, Yingying seemed to see a glimmer of hope. She pulled her two younger sisters to stand up and form a triangular formation around Hyuga Hoshino.

The three demons began to spit out silk threads, each thread coated with their deadly poison.

This made Hyuga Hoshino feel that the formation was practically useless. Wasn't it just letting them spit out silk and release poison? What qualitative change was there?

Hinata Hoshino lost interest and prepared to finish them off in one go. He flicked his finger but found that he couldn't break the threads.

This formation is quite effective; at least for now, it has increased the strength of their silk threads.

Logically speaking, his flick should have been enough to shatter a small artificial hill, even if he had held back.

This moth silk doesn't look that tough; it must be reinforced by an array.

Taking a deep breath, I felt a bit dizzy. The poison on the silk thread was much stronger than the poison Yingying had released on her own before.

The surroundings shifted in an instant, as if I were in a strange space, upside down, unable to distinguish left from right, or front from back. In this space, everything seemed to have lost its definition, appearing utterly absurd.

Hinata Hoshino realized that this space was very much like an interior scene, no, it was definitely an interior scene.

That's interesting. The formation invented by Zhuge Liang was only meant to pull a few people into the inner realm together, and it still had strict requirements for the four plates. I didn't expect that the formation attached to their inferior technique would have such an effect.

"What will be the fate of this world?"

Yingying asked a question, and a huge fireball appeared before her eyes, as big as a star.

Hinata Hoshino turned to look at the three demons; they had some brains, but not many.

Unfortunately for them, they seemed to have no idea where they were. The fireball was getting closer and closer, and the three demons had already left the inner world.

Hinata Hoshino suddenly became curious about the ascension method they had found. It should be a legacy of Qimen sorcerers, so it shouldn't be so sinister.

It's probably another Mei Chaofeng-style blunder. "Crush the enemy's head" is misinterpreted as grabbing someone's head, when it clearly means attacking the enemy's vitals.

Hinata Hoshino felt like laughing. If they really misunderstood, then not only was their training wrong, but they were also using the formation incorrectly.

Hinata Hoshino was also a sorcerer, and strictly speaking, he did not belong to this world. After the three demons left, the fireball gradually dissipated.

Therefore, the cultivators these three demons encountered before were not sorcerers; otherwise, there would be no reason for them to be trapped and burned by fireballs within the inner realm.

Hinata Hoshino wanted to leave the inner scene in front of him, but found that he felt more blocked. So that's why. This formation also has the function of trapping people in the inner scene.

Those trapped in the formation and the formation setter are brought into the inner realm and their energy is connected. Questions are asked, and multiple people bear the consequences. The formation setter can leave at any time, but those who enter the formation will be blocked.

Thinking about it that way, it's a bit unethical, but this technique seems even more extraordinary. Hyuga Hoshino shook his head; these three are short-sighted. They possess a treasure trove but don't know how to utilize it.

Yingying looked at Hinata Hoshino and felt that things were settled. She prepared to leave with Hinata Hoshino and then eat him.

Hinata Hoshino opened his eyes and looked at the three demons with great interest.

"Impossible, how could you possibly get out?"

"Impossible. No one has ever escaped this formation."

"Please, Immortal, forgive my two sisters. I am willing to exchange my life for theirs."

"Sister, get up quickly."

"Yes, sister, how could you kneel down to this stinky Taoist priest?"

Su Su and Qing Qing were incredulous, but Ying Ying knelt down immediately. At this point, the three demons were powerless except to beg for forgiveness.

Hinata Hoshino lifted Yingying's chin, his eyes filled with fire, not anger, but primal impulse. Twenty years of quiet inaction had made him furious. The three demons in front of him could barely be used.

"Are you willing to do anything?"

"As long as my sisters can be spared."

Chapter 168 Ao Tianlong and Liao Huzi

Calmly, the three demons were behind him. Each demon slapped him. Hyuga Hoshino watched, knowing what it meant to stir up trouble.

The sky was their blanket, the earth their bed, and the three demons' wails echoed endlessly.

At dawn, three giant moths were fluttering on the ground. Hyuga Hoshino did not kill them, but he destroyed their cultivation and erased their memories.

With a flick of her wrist, she collected the three fluttering moths and placed them into her divine space. Yueyi was overjoyed; her mountain finally had living beings.

It's quite moist.

Heading north, we stopped using Divine Power to travel and instead used walking, horseback riding, and carriages, and also took the opportunity to experience a train journey.

Before the New Year, Hinata Hoshino successfully emerged from seclusion. Standing atop the mountain, he activated his Qi Observation Technique, revealing the guardian spirit, who, though called a spirit, was actually a demon.

The area with the heaviest concentration of demonic energy is the headquarters of the Chuma lineage. Hyuga Hoshino noticed that not far away, demonic energy and Daoist pure energy were confronting each other.

It seems there was a conflict between Taoist disciples and shamans. Being a gossipmonger, Hyuga Hoshino decided to go and see what was going on.

"My friend, please let me go first."

"Only the host knows who came first and who came last. Fellow Daoist, please don't be prejudiced."

"94, 94, we were here first!"

"Hmph, why should you say you went first? I'm saying we went first."

A white silk banner hung at the door of a house, clearly indicating a funeral. Looking past the group arguing at the door, Bai Yan glanced into the main room, where an old woman lay in a coffin. However, her face resembled a cat's, and her nails were long and slender.

At the entrance, a figure carrying a long sword on his back stands, which should be the Supreme Nine Kings Demon-Slaying Sword, undoubtedly belonging to Ao Tianlong.

One of them, holding a pipe and taking occasional puffs, was probably Liao Huzi. His dark aura resembled that of a rat, so he was undoubtedly a disciple of the Hui family.

Ao Ningshuang and Guan Shihua, due to the confrontation between their elders, also exchanged insults without holding back.

According to onlookers, the Yu family, the main family, had no choice but to seek help from experts after the incident involving the cat-faced old woman.

However, since the host family came from inside the pass, they had more faith in Taoists, so they brought Ao Tianlong, who was somewhat famous outside the pass, to them.

In order to settle down and establish a family, the eldest son of the Yu family married a local woman. When problems arose, the first thing he thought of was a shamanic disciple.

And so, Ao Tianlong and Liao Huzi, two completely unrelated people, bumped into each other, all for the sake of a business deal.

"Everyone, let me say something fair." *2

An elderly man, at least seventy years old, stepped out from the crowd. He was probably the village chief or something similar, and it was clear that he shared the same idea as Hinata Hoshino: to take sides.

As we all know, "Let me say something fair" is usually a prelude to taking sides.

Ao Tianlong is a wandering Taoist priest who might leave at any time. Moreover, he looks like a respectable person, so it's not a big deal to offend him.

Liao Huzi is different; he operates within this area. If anything happens, people still have to ask him for help. Therefore, the village chief is inclined to take sides.

Once Hyuga Hoshino comes out, things become simple: he'll side with his own people regardless of right or wrong. They're all disciples of Maoshan, so he'll help if he can.
