Chapter 123 Finding a Big Tree to Shelter From the Wind and Rain

The little fox's life in the Southern Hill Fox Clan was probably not good, as can be seen from its hatred for its fellow foxes and even its celebration of their deaths.

The little fox may seem to be of noble status, but it has probably suffered a lot of injustices in secret.

Hu Hui probably understood why, and said, "This little guy has been wronged. It's also my fault for not noticing sooner. I didn't expect those formless souls to still have designs on reincarnation."

Su Baichen was filled with questions. What connection did his little fox have with reincarnation?

However, Hu Hui stopped there, leaving behind the giant fox beast as the guardian of the fox princess, and then descended from the clouds to take away the remaining fox clan members and fox beasts.

Just before everyone was about to return, Daoist Shangshan mentioned, "The Ghost Fox possesses the bloodline of the Nether Fox, and the Nether Fox is a divine beast that can connect Yin and Yang. Together with the Celestial Fox, they are the strongest ancient bloodlines of the Fox Clan."

"Clearly, those formless fox clans want to use your bloodline as a tool—perhaps to break some of the shackles of their reincarnation."

Su Baichen immediately thought of the problem that those formless souls could never be reincarnated into the royal family.

"They wanted to be emperors themselves and completely control the country."

Su Baichen felt that this scheme—indeed—fitted his stereotypes about those beings.

Knowing this news is just knowing it; the souls of those from the Boundless Realm are scattered throughout the world, and who knows what other methods they have prepared for this.

At this stage, it seems they can only react to whatever comes their way.

As everyone descended from the clouds, True Person Xuan Yin was about to arrange the remaining tasks for the Yin Sect disciples.

Suddenly, Daoist Shangshan interrupted, saying, "Let Shuiyin handle the rest. Xuanyin, you only need to do one thing now: go into seclusion."

After a pause, he added, "It's about time you achieved the Yang God realm as well."

Upon hearing this, Su Baichen looked at Xuan Yin Zhenren with great surprise and asked, "Master, is this true?"

Shuiyin Ji immediately assured him, "Senior brother, you can go into seclusion. Although I may not be as good as you, Master has already emerged from seclusion. What else do you have to worry about?"

The implication is that True Person Xuan Yin could have gone into seclusion to advance his cultivation long ago, but he couldn't let go of the affairs of the Yin Sect, which is why he kept postponing it.

However, Master Xuanyin still had doubts.

Lord Shangshan said again, "Go ahead. I know you're worried that if you go into seclusion, this child won't have anyone to teach him—don't worry, since he's your disciple, he's also my grand-disciple. I will personally guide and teach him for a period of time."

Xuan Yin Zhenren was overjoyed upon hearing this and suddenly shouted to the Yin Sect formation, "Xiang Yu, Qiu Zhuo, come here."

So Wu Xiangyu and Zhang Qiuzhuo both came before Xuan Yin Zhenren.

Master Xuan Yin pointed to the two disciples and said, "Master, these two are also your grand-disciples, so I'll trouble you to take care of them as well."

Wu Xiangyu was still a little timid, after all, Shangshan Daojun's appearance was really frightening at this moment.

Zhang Qiuzhuo, on the other hand, gracefully clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Disciple Zhang Qiuzhuo greets Grandmaster."

Wu Xiangyu then realized what was happening and followed suit in bowing.

Daoist Shangshan pointed helplessly at True Man Xuanyin, but said nothing more. He simply addressed Su Baichen's two senior brothers:

'

"Alright, you're all very good. As long as you're not afraid that I might lose my mind, then you can follow me in my cultivation."

"Thank you, Grandmaster."

This time, Su Baichen thanked them along with his two senior brothers and sisters.

"Pfft~"

Princess Shuiyin laughed out loud.

She simply couldn't hold back any longer, because she knew all too well that Shangshan Daojun only wanted to get closer to his grand-disciple Su Baichen, who also had a history of demonic possession. Unfortunately, Xuan Yin Zhenren had tricked her master, causing him to take on two more grand-disciples—

How to put it? He truly lives up to his reputation as the Xuan Yin Zhenren, whom Shang Shan Dao Jun dislikes no matter what. He doesn't hold back at all when it comes to plotting against his own master.

But that wasn't all. Su Baichen glanced at his fellow disciples, his eyes darting around, and a mischievous idea popped into his head.

He asked, "Grandmaster, will you remain in Yinfeng Gorge from now on?"

Shangshan Daojun thought to himself, "If I don't stay here, where else can I go?"

He then realized that his adorable little grand-disciple had his own ideas, so he asked, "Is there anything else you need outside?"

Su Baichen nodded repeatedly, and then recounted how three of the five kingdoms in the world had been taken over by the Faceless Man, and mentioned his previous agreement with Yu Xiangke and Emperor Tang Dezhao, etc.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Shangshan frowned, then sighed, "I should go and see Tianhui—no, Yuxiangke."

"Alright, let's go to the capital of Liang together, so you won't be so indecisive."

Favoritism is something you can tell at a glance.

So the skinny grandmaster left Yinfeng Gorge with three young and energetic grand-disciples.

Meanwhile, Master Xuan Yin, a righteous master, began his seclusion, preparing to break through to the Yang Shen realm.

But when the patriarch arrived in the capital and moved into the large courtyard specially prepared for him, he began to doubt the meaning of life.

Because he saw Feng Linzi, the eldest disciple of Xuan Yin Zhenren and also the chief disciple of the Yin Sect, here.

Feng Linzi himself is nothing special; his cultivation has reached the peak of the Five Qi Gathering, and his character is also excellent, making him very worthy of the title of Chief of the Yin Sect.

The problem is, he also has a Daoist partner!

Being a Daoist partner is one thing, but to make matters worse, she's also a Demonic Saintess, the very daughter of the Primordial Demon Venerable—

This left Shangshan Daojun somewhat bewildered.

No, is there something wrong with his lineage?

He himself fell into demonic possession to preserve the legacy of Changchun Palace, so we won't go into that. But why did his two most outstanding grand-disciples fall into demonic possession, one because he wielded a demonic sword, and the other because he directly married a demonic saintess?

Good heavens, could his lineage be cursed?

He used to feel out of place because of his demonic fall—but now, good heavens, it's not just a matter of being out of place anymore, it's like the Yin Sect is really going to become the Yin Demon Sect!

However, when facing Youlian, Daojun Shangshan didn't actually have that much hostility.

First of all, when Changchun Palace fought the Yuanmo Cave three hundred years ago, Youlian hadn't even been born yet, so he wouldn't have taken his anger out on a junior.

Secondly, he himself is a fallen demon, so he has no right to criticize Feng Linzi for things like "good and evil cannot coexist," and he has no right to educate his disciples.

Furthermore, he also learned that Youlian herself was a pitiful person. As the daughter of the Formless One, she was not the Formless One herself. This separation of identities, as well as her courage and determination to ultimately abandon darkness and embrace the light, also brought comfort to Shangshan Daojun.

Of course, there is one last point: Youlian is from the Demonic Path, which allows her to provide Shangshan Daojun with a method to control demonic energy.

This is crucial; the Supreme Daoist Master does not want to harm his disciples because of his madness.

This was also Su Baichen's plan. Only someone like Shangshan Daojun could act as a great tree to shelter him from the wind and rain—he really went to great lengths for his senior brother's happiness.
