Chapter 118 Our Family Also Has an Ancestor

The situation was on the verge of exploding. The Yin Sect disciples were already facing the oppressive force of the great demon in the sky. Even though they had connected everyone's Xuan Yin spiritual energy with an array, they were still overwhelmed in terms of momentum and aura.

The pressure on Su Baichen's heart gradually increased. He had already sent a message to his master—even if the various sects of Changchun Palace might not be able to come to their aid in time—at least, he had to be able to avenge them in time!

A surge of anger flashed in Su Baichen's eyes.

It wasn't that he was willing to gamble with the fate of his fellow disciples for the sake of a little fox in his arms, but rather that the wrath of his ancestors prevented him from bowing down to those invaders!

What is he afraid of?

They've all died once already.

How could he not know what it's like after death? To be honest, it's much more comfortable and peaceful than when he was alive!

Feeling the support from his fellow disciples, he slowly walked forward.

Reaching to touch the hilt of the sword on his back, he saw the Soul-Binding Ribbon slipping off in sections.

He was curious: when this body was fully unleashed, how much of the Soul-Suppressing Sword's extreme fury could it withstand?

At this moment, he would never allow his fellow disciples to stand in his way; he would do everything in his power to clear away the greatest obstacle.

He calmly looked up and stared at the image of the demon god that appeared in the clouds. He thought to himself that this should only be a manifestation of the primordial spirit rather than the real body. Perhaps after killing all the fox spirits on the scene, the real body of the demon god would be unable to resist showing itself.

The thought of annihilating everything occupied his mind, and his thoughts became cold and clear.

The wrath of his ancestors stirred within him, resonating with him.

This calm and rational rage gave him, for the first time, the feeling that he could fully control this power.

Princess Mizukage seemed to sense something and looked over with concern.

Su Baichen is Xuan Yin Zhenren's favorite little disciple, and is also raised as a son by Shui Yin Ji!

How could she not understand what was going on in this child's mind?

"It's all your fault!"

Suddenly, she glared fiercely at the fisherman, leaving Zhang Er completely bewildered.

Good grief, why is he being targeted again?

But from the perspective of parents and elders, this old man deserves to be resented—whose child is perfectly healthy and growing up at the right time, but is allowed or even guided to come into contact with something like the Soul-Suppressing Sword, and can still have a good mood?

If the old fisherman hadn't been an elder in his family, Xuan Yin Zhenren and Shui Yin Ji would probably have beaten him to death!

After glaring at the fisherman, Mizuki took out a jade tablet.

This is a common communication jade tablet used by the Yin Sect, and it doesn't seem particularly special.

But the fisherman's expression changed drastically upon seeing this: "Nephew, isn't this a bit much? Wouldn't it be better to just let our senior brother stay here in peace? We're not necessarily afraid of that great demon just because we rely on the sect's grand formation."

Shuiyin Ji glanced disdainfully at her martial uncle and said, "They've already bullied us to our doorstep. If they surround Yinfeng Pass, where will our Yin Sect's reputation stand? Master will come out of seclusion without me even having to call him. Then, martial uncle will probably be in trouble again!"

The fisherman actually showed fear at this moment, which shows that Su Baichen's grandmaster's aura was extremely powerful.

Su Baichen was surprised to hear this, not expecting that his grandmaster was still alive.

Shuiyin Ji and Xuanyin Zhenren are fellow disciples under the same master, and are Su Baichen's uncle-master. So, isn't her master also his great-great-grandmaster?

Although the performance of the fishing grandmaster was a bit lackluster and disappointing, Su Baichen was still full of anticipation for the appearance of his great-grandmaster.

Just then, a suppressed yet incredibly powerful aura appeared in Su Baichen's spiritual sense. This aura originated from the deep sea outside Yinfeng Gorge, restless yet carrying a hint of hesitation.

Su Baichen instantly realized: his grandmaster had been staying at the bottom of the sea outside Yinfeng Gorge all along!

No wonder Uncle Shui always goes to sea; it turns out he's serving and protecting his master.

The next moment, a jet of water shot into the sky!

A figure suddenly broke through the water column and appeared in the sky above the battlefield.

Everyone looked up and saw a thin, frail old man dressed in a black Taoist robe, with a hunched back and a bony frame. From a distance, his hunched body looked like a curled-up shrimp, and he stood trembling in the air, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Yet, this very person instilled immense psychological pressure in everyone the moment he appeared on stage.

He carried a scent that Su Baichen recognized—demonic energy!

Moreover, it is demonic energy transformed from anger—just like the demonic energy in the Soul-Suppressing Sword.

Su Baichen had only sensed this beforehand, and the next moment, that extreme anger transformed into black demonic energy, which slowly and uncontrollably surged and spread throughout the entire area.

It's unimaginable that Su Baichen's grandmaster was actually a high-level cultivator who had fallen into demonic ways. Not to mention the newly initiated second-generation disciples, even the older generation of elders rarely knew that there was such a fallen demon hidden within the sect.

Shuiyin Ji looked at everyone and introduced them calmly: "This is my master, Shangshan Daojun. He fell into the demonic path 279 years ago and has been living in seclusion 500 meters below the sea outside Yinfeng Gorge ever since."

Su Baichen was shocked. This was not seclusion at all; it was clearly using the pressure of the seawater to suppress and seal himself!

And the year 279—

Su Baichen could already imagine the extent to which his great-grandfather had gone to ensure the survival of the sect and even the Changchun Palace's legacy.

But this was only something he knew in his heart. The rest of the Yin Sect were inevitably startled by the dense demonic energy, and then involuntarily felt fear and vigilance.

This is only natural. After all, the disciples of Yin Sect or Changchun Palace were taught from childhood that "good and evil cannot coexist." It's understandable that they would feel uncomfortable about this suddenly appearing, demon-possessed elder.

"Master—Senior Brother—"

The fisherman greeted them timidly.

Lord Shangshan simply responded with a faint sound, his gaze sweeping over all the Yin Sect disciples present.

The doubts and fears that arose in the hearts of his disciples were laid bare under his gaze.

He appeared outwardly calm, but Su Baichen could sense a fleeting hint of disappointment and desolation in him.

The Supreme Daoist Lord paid no attention to the juniors' behavior, but simply faced the enormous fox head that appeared from the clouds and said calmly, "Hu Hui, long time no see—but what gives you the audacity to act so presumptuously on my territory?!"

Lord Shangshan knew this great demon.

The great demon in the clouds had a real name: Hu Hui. He simply replied, "Shangshan Daojun, you were indeed respectable in the past—but now that you've become like this, do you still want to stand up for these Yin Sect people? They might not be grateful to you."

The Supreme Lord of Goodness had no light in his eyes. He calmly said, "I don't care about those things, and you don't need to care about them for me."

Even though Lord Shangshan remained calm and composed, seemingly indifferent to everything.

However, Mizuki still keenly sensed some fluctuations in her master's heart.

She didn't want her master to suffer such injustice.

Shuiyin Ji glanced around, then immediately went to Su Baichen's side and whispered, "Baichen, quickly call him Grandmaster, don't disappoint him."
