Many children, many blessings: Stealing the offspring of powerful figures to cultivate immortality.

"This child has the blood of my Qingqiu lineage flowing through her veins; she is coming home."

The old woman leaned on her silvery-white rattan cane, her wrinkled face twitching slightly.

His cloudy fox eyes swept over Jiang Yining's purple-gold skirt, exuding an air of self-righteous superiority.

Jiang Yining slowly closed her fingers, which were hanging at her sides.

The purple-gold chaotic laws danced at his fingertips, emitting a soft popping sound.

"go home?"

A mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips.

"I pierced my daughter's collarbone with nine chains of cause and effect, and hung her on a sacrificial pillar to bleed her."

"Do you Qingqiu people call this 'going home'?"

The old woman slammed her cane heavily onto the white jade steps.

"presumptuous."

The oppressive aura of a peak Heavenly Monarch Realm expert rolled down the steps and crashed into the purple-gold light barrier in front of Jiang Yining.

"I am Yue Po, the clan chief of Qingqiu."

"What has awakened within this little girl is the ancestral bloodline of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, which has been lost for ten thousand years in Qingqiu."

"Our clan's thousand-year fortune is about to end. Only by completely sacrificing this ancestral bloodline to the Moonlit Altar can we reconnect with the Fox God of the Upper Realm."

Moon Goddess's cloudy eyes were fixed on the five treasures suspended in mid-air.

"To die for the continuation of the Qingqiu clan is a blessing that she, as a half-demon, has accumulated over several lifetimes."

"Bullshit!"

Sanbao jumped off Dabao's back.

The little girl stood with her hands on her hips, the red lotus mark between her eyebrows almost dripping blood.

Pure black chaotic demonic energy exploded from her small body, swallowing up the surrounding moonlight and creating a large vacuum.

"You old hag!"

"You dare hang my fifth sister on a stick? I'll pluck all your fox fur and turn it into a carpet right now!"

Sanbao took off on his short legs and rushed toward the altar.

Jiang Yining reacted quickly and grabbed Sanbao's shoulder.

"Mother!"

Sanbao looked up, his heterochromatic eyes, one black and one red, filled with confusion and irritation.

"Don't get your hands dirty."

Jiang Yining's voice was cold and devoid of warmth. Her gaze passed over the Moon Goddess and landed on Wu Bao's pale little face.

"To deal with these old bones that are half-buried in the ground, just crush them."

Gu Qinghan stepped to Jiang Yining's left.

Her white robes fluttered in the night wind, and her thumb had already pushed aside the guard of the broken sword at her waist.

"Ning'er, I'll clear the way."

Not to be outdone, Feng Liuyun, clutching her still bleeding left shoulder, squeezed to Jiang Yining's right side.

"Ice-faced, your sword heart will shatter completely if you strike again."

"To burn this vixen, we still need my Nirvana True Fire."

Feng Liuyun raised a brow with her peach blossom eyes, and crimson-gold flames rose from her palm.

The Moon Goddess on the steps let out a hoarse, unpleasant laugh.

"Ignorant brat."

"Do you really think this Qingqiu Ancient Moon is a place where you can run wild as you please?"

Her withered fingers reached into her moon-white robe and pulled out a palm-sized silver ancient mirror.

Nine fox tails, linked end to end, are carved along the edge of the mirror, radiating a chilling aura of divine power.

"The Ancient Moon Mirror of Qingqiu!"

Feng Liuyun's pupils shrank suddenly, and the Nirvana True Fire in his palm was actually suppressed and dimmed by three points.

"A clan-protecting magic treasure at the peak of the Heavenly Monarch level, this old woman is really willing to spend a fortune."

The Moon Goddess tossed the ancient moon mirror high into the air.

The ancient mirror swelled in the wind, transforming into a silver mirror even larger than the crescent moon in the sky, hanging upside down directly above the altar.

The rich, almost viscous, silvery moonlight cascaded down like a waterfall.

The space within a radius of a hundred miles was instantly sealed off by this moonlight domain.

Gu Qinghan's pure Yang sword intent was forcibly suppressed back into the scabbard, emitting a resentful sword cry.

Feng Liuyun's Nirvana True Fire was also compressed into a fireball the size of a fist, and could no longer be released even a fraction of its power.

Within the Moonlight Domain, the flow of spiritual energy for all non-fox bloodlines became extremely slow.

"If you don't hand over this ancestral bloodline, all of you will be imprisoned here forever!"

Moon Goddess formed hand seals, and the light of the Ancient Moon Mirror surged once more, transforming into countless silver threads that attempted to bind everyone.

Jiang Yining stood still, not moving an inch.

A purple-gold light surged from her body, and the phantom of the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree quietly bloomed behind her.

The silver threads that tried to approach her were silently dissolved by the Devouring Law the moment they touched the phantom of the divine tree.

She narrowed her eyes slightly.

Seemingly suppressed in place by the Moonlight Domain, the enormous semi-saint's divine consciousness had actually silently burrowed into the ground beneath the altar along the vines of the Myriad Spirits Divine Tree.

Just now, the moment the divine tree devoured the moonlight.

Jiang Yining detected a faint yet incredibly familiar fluctuation of demonic energy.

That surge of energy was mixed with a strong stench of blood and the agony of one's soul being torn apart.

It emanated from the deepest part of the altar's foundation.

"Bai Ze?"

Jiang Yining uttered those two words softly, in a voice only she could hear.

Da Bao gripped the Anning Sword tightly and looked up at Jiang Yining.

"Mother, that old man is stalling for time."

Lightning flashed in Da Bao's purple-gold eyes.

"The array patterns on the sacrificial pillar are glowing, and Fifth Sister's aura is getting weaker and weaker."

Sibao slipped off the fairy boat at some point, clutching the glittering abacus in his arms.

His short silver hair was dazzling in the moonlight, and the Heavenly Eye of the Heavenly Mystery Body slowly opened in the center of his forehead.

"Mother, that old hag's mirror isn't for fighting."

Sibao's little hands moved quickly across the abacus beads, making a crisp clicking sound.

"That mirror is a transfer station used to extract energy from something underground and transfer it to the sacrificial pillar."

"We must sever those energy-transmitting array points, otherwise even if we shatter the mirror, Fifth Sister will be completely drained by the sacrificial pillar."

Jiang Yining slowly withdrew her gaze.

She looked at the Moon Goddess on the steps, who seemed to have the victory in her grasp.

"I see."

Jiang Yining's lips curved into a wider smile, revealing a chilling murderous intent.

"Your Qingqiu clan not only captured the young, but also tied up the adults to use as food."

"That's incredibly bold."
