Chapter 57 Yunshan's Plea for Help (Combined Chapter)

"Halt! This is the territory of Qingqiu Mountain; no outsiders are permitted to set foot here!"

"Please leave immediately!"

As soon as Bai Ze and Jiu Ying arrived in the area of ​​Qingqiu Mountain, they encountered a group of cultivators from the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox clan, who stopped them and subtly formed a battle formation.

Instead of being angry at the scene before him, Bai Ze carefully examined the situation. He saw that although the cultivators of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan did not have high cultivation levels, their divine light was pure and they were well-trained. They had even formed a battle formation, which made Bai Ze quite satisfied.

"Bai Ze greets everyone!"

Bai Ze stepped forward, cupped his hands slightly, and said, "We have come to pay our respects to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan on the orders of the Heavenly Emperor. Please inform them of our arrival!"

Bai Ze!

God!

The leading nine-tailed celestial fox cultivator's expression changed, his eyes fixed warily on Bai Ze, and he asked, "Are you Bai Ze, one of the Ten Great Demon Saints of the Demon Race?"

"It is indeed I, the Holy One!" Bai Ze nodded and said with a smile.

"Yunhai greets Bai Ze, the Demon Saint!" Upon hearing Bai Ze's acknowledgment, Yunhai respectfully bowed and said, "Please wait a moment, Demon Saint Bai Ze, while I send someone to inform the Grand Elder."

As soon as he finished speaking, a nine-tailed celestial fox cultivator turned and headed towards Mount Qingqiu.

However, Yunhai's group of nine-tailed celestial fox cultivators did not relax; instead, they kept a wary eye on Bai Ze and his group.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan had no dealings with the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan, let alone any friendship.

Why did the Demon Emperor send Bai Ze here?

In response, Bai Ze simply smiled and nodded, displaying great composure and showing no arrogance whatsoever. He didn't even have the demonic aura or ferocity often associated with demons; instead, he exuded an air of otherworldly wisdom and appeared to be a virtuous and wise person.

Meanwhile, the demon saint Jiuying became somewhat impatient, his gaze fixed on Qingqiu Mountain before him, a hint of ferocity and killing intent flashing across his face.

If it weren't for Emperor Jun's orders, he would have led his men to attack Qingqiu Mountain directly, instead of letting Bai Ze waste words with him.

Before long, a beam of light flew out from Qingqiu Mountain and landed in front of Bai Ze and his group, revealing an old man.

"Yunshan, the Grand Elder of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan, greets Bai Ze and Jiuying, the Demon Saints!" Upon seeing the two Demon Saints, Bai Ze and Jiuying, Yunshan's heart sank slightly, fearing that they were up to no good.

"Elder Yunshan, there's no need for such formalities," Bai Ze said with a smile, returning the greeting.

Jiuying snorted coldly, showing no intention of bowing.

Yunshan seemed oblivious to Jiuying's attitude, and asked Bai Ze with a smile, "May I ask what brings you two demon saints here?"

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan has always avoided offending or joining the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race.

In fact, when Di Jun and Xi He got married some time ago, Yun Shan even sent someone to deliver a congratulatory gift.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Bai Ze and Jiu Ying, two of the Ten Great Demon Saints of the Demon Clan, came to Qingqiu Mountain together. Their fate is uncertain.

"Hehe, Elder Yunshan, there's no need to worry."

Bai Ze chuckled and said, "The reason we two have come here is on the orders of His Majesty Emperor Jun, to invite Elder Yunshan and the cultivators of the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan to take up their posts in the heavens."

As he spoke, Bai Ze waved his hand, instructing each of the accompanying demons to take out a jade box and open it. Inside were various rare spiritual roots, immortal herbs, and cultivation methods.

At this moment, Bai Ze pointed to a seven-colored crystal placed in one of the jade boxes and said, "This seven-colored crystal contains an innate charm, which should be of some benefit to Elder Yunshan in refining it into a magic weapon."

When Bai Ze came to recruit the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan, he not only ordered people to prepare a generous gift, but also took a wisp of innate allure energy from the Heavenly Court's treasury.

It can be said to be full of sincerity.

However, Yunshan showed no joy. Instead, his expression changed. He feared that once he took up a post in the Heavenly Court, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox clan would have no choice but to join the demon race.

If the Lich and Demon races were to clash again, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan would be unable to remain uninvolved.

"Please forgive us, you two demon saints."

"My Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan has always lived in seclusion, avoiding the troubles and consequences of the primordial world," Yunshan said with a forced smile.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze's gaze turned cold, and he said in a chilling voice, "Elder Yunshan, this is a kind gesture from His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor. As long as you agree to take up your posts in Heaven, you will not only receive a host of rewards, but also receive personal guidance in your cultivation from the two Emperors."

"Bai Ze, why waste words with him?" Jiu Ying revealed a murderous aura, his demonic energy soaring into the sky, and shouted, "Since you Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox clan are so stubborn and disobey His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor's decree, then just kill him."

Before Bai Ze and Yun Shan could speak, a loud laugh came from afar, "Where did this nine-headed monster come from? Quite the boastful one!"

As they were talking, a tall shaman, carrying a large axe and a shield, strode over.

The shaman stared with eyes as big as copper bells, looked Bai Ze and Jiu Ying up and down, and laughed, "So you're just a little demon. No wonder you're so arrogant."

"Xingtian!" Jiuying roared, "This matter has nothing to do with your Wu Clan, so don't meddle!"

"Today, I, the sorcerer, will meddle in other people's business, and what can you do about it?" Xing Tian raised his great axe and pointed it at Jiuying, saying mockingly, "You nine-headed monster, do you dare to fight me?"

Upon hearing Xing Tian's words, Jiu Ying was filled with rage, but dared not actually fight Xing Tian, ​​and could only glare fiercely at him.

Last time, the twelve ancestral witches of the witch clan stationed their troops at Buzhou Mountain. The great witch Xing Tian fought alone against the three demon saints Ying Zhao, Fei Dan, and Bai Ze, and gained the upper hand.

At this moment, only Jiuying and Bai Ze, two demon saints, were no match for Xing Tian!

"The Great Witch Xingtian!"

Bai Ze stepped forward and said, "We are acting on the orders of His Majesty Emperor Jun. We urge the Great Witch Xing Tian not to cause trouble. Otherwise, if it leads to a conflict between the Witch and Demon races, I'm afraid the Great Witch will not be able to answer to the Ancestral Witches."

After saying that, Bai Ze turned to Yun Shan and said, "Since Elder Yun Shan and the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan have refused Your Majesty's goodwill, then we can only report the truth to Your Majesty Di Jun."

"I hope Elder Yunshan will take good care of himself."

"Let's go." Bai Ze called to Jiu Ying, and the group immediately rode on a cloud and flew towards the Heavenly Court to inform Di Jun and Tai Yi of the matter.

Seeing Bai Ze and Jiu Ying leave, Yun Shan gave a wry smile, bowed to Xing Tian and thanked him, saying, "Thank you very much, Great Witch Xing Tian, ​​for speaking up for justice this time."

If Xing Tian hadn't happened to pass by, Yun Shan really wouldn't know what to do.

It's clear that the Nine-Headed Serpent didn't intend to end things peacefully.

"I just couldn't stand the way that demon brat spoke and wanted to give him a good beating," Xing Tian said nonchalantly, carrying his large axe. "However, Elder Yunshan would be better off making plans sooner rather than later."

After saying that, Xing Tian shouldered his large axe and strode away into the distance.

Despite his seemingly carefree and easygoing nature, Xing Tian is actually quite shrewd. He is well aware that the demon race will not let this go easily.

Watching Xing Tian's figure disappear, Yun Shan couldn't help but sigh and said, "This time, we refused the recruitment of the demon race's heavenly court. Di Jun and Taiyi must feel that they have lost face and will not let it go easily."

"I fear that within a few days, a demon saint will come to conquer my Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox cultivators all showed expressions of panic.

"Elder, the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court is powerful. What should we do?" Yunhai asked with a hint of panic.

Given the strength of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan, let alone the arrival of Emperor Jun and Taiyi, even the two demon saints, Bai Ze and Jiu Ying, would probably be unable to withstand them.

"Yunhai, go and inform Bai Yao immediately to prepare a generous gift and come with me to Wanshou Mountain." As he said this, Yunshan revealed a hint of reluctance.

Although Yunshan had visited Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain several times, each time bringing a substantial gift, and had even met Zhen Yuanzi a few times.

However, since this matter concerns the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun of the Demon Clan, it is necessary to prepare at least one innate spiritual item.

"Elder, are you talking about Zhen Yuanzi?" Yun Hai's eyes lit up as he recalled the rumors about Zhen Yuanzi in the clan, knowing that he had once come to Qingqiu Mountain and had passed down the Taiyin Illusion Moon Formation.

It is precisely because of the protection of this mountain-guarding formation that the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan has been able to remain secluded from the world and even escape several calamities.

"Hurry up and inform Bai Yao." Yun Shan glared at Yun Hai and said, "Remember to tell Yun Yao to bring that spiritual root with her."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

After returning to Qingqiu Mountain and giving some instructions, Yunshan took Yunyao and headed towards Wanshou Mountain.

................................................

Meanwhile, Yun Zhongzi and his companions slowly made their way towards Longevity Mountain.

As they drew closer to Longevity Mountain, Qingfeng and Mingyue couldn't help but feel uneasy, fearing that they would be punished by Zhenyuanzi upon their return.

The nine-headed beast, however, was secretly delighted, waiting to return and witness the excitement of Qingfeng and Mingyue.

On this day, the group returned to the territory of Longevity Mountain and saw a lucky cloud flying in from afar, on which stood an old man and a young woman.

This woman had silky black hair that flowed in the wind, slender phoenix eyebrows, and eyes as bright as stars and the moon, exquisitely beautiful, seemingly flawless. She was graceful and elegant, with a temperament like a secluded orchid in a valley, serene and peaceful, as if possessing a tranquil and natural quality, without a trace of allure.

She turned out to be a rare and stunning beauty.

"Oh my, it's Elder Yunshan!" Upon seeing the two people on the auspicious cloud, Qingfeng and Mingyue's eyes lit up, and they immediately waved and called out.

"Yunshan and Yunyao greet the two young disciples!" Upon hearing Qingfeng and Mingyue's call, Yunshan descended from the auspicious cloud with Yunyao. Beside Qingfeng and Mingyue, besides the nine-headed beast, there was a young Taoist whose cultivation was faintly approaching the Taiyi level. His divine light was pure, which stirred something in their hearts.

"May I ask, who is this Taoist priest?" Yunshan asked.

"This is Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi, a disciple accepted by my master," Mingyue introduced them.

"Yunshan and Yunyao of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan greet Daoist Yunzhongzi." Upon hearing Mingyue's words, Yunshan and Yunyao bowed to Yunzhongzi in unison.

"Yun Zhongzi greets Elder Yunshan and Fairy Yunyao," Yun Zhongzi bowed in return.

"I wonder if the venerable master is in the temple?" After exchanging greetings, Yunshan couldn't help but ask.

"Elder, you've come at just the right time. My master is currently in the temple." With that, Qingfeng Mingyue led Yunshan into Wanshou Mountain and into Wuzhuang Temple.

Seeing this, Yun Zhongzi shook his head helplessly, and could only call out to the nine-headed beast and Yun Yao before heading into the Wuzhuang Temple.

Before long, the group arrived at the side of the Chaos Spirit Spring. There, they saw Zhen Yuanzi sitting on a futon, glancing at Qingfeng and Mingyue with a half-smile. Qingfeng and Mingyue shrank back in fright and could only brace themselves to step forward and bow, praying silently.

"Yunshan and Yunyao greet the true master!"

"Please, Master Zhen, save my Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan!" Yunshan and Yunyao knelt down before Zhen Yuanzi.

"Elder Yunshan, please rise and speak." Zhen Yuanzi waved his sleeve, helping Yunshan and Yunyao to their feet, and asked curiously, "Qingqiu Mountain is protected by the Taiyin Illusionary Moon Formation, which even ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortals cannot harm. How could you have encountered...?"

At this point, Zhen Yuanzi's heart stirred slightly, and he asked, "Could it be related to the Lich and Demon races?"

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan is not particularly strong, but it is not weak either. With the Taiyin Illusion Moon Formation, they can protect themselves even when encountering ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivators.

Only the Wu tribe and the Wu tribe could send Yunshan to ask for help.

"Your Excellency is wise; it is Emperor Jun of the Demon Clan who has issued an edict to recruit my Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan, intending for us to serve in the Heavenly Court and be at the beck and call of the Demon Clan." As he spoke, Yunshan took out a jade box, opened it, and placed it on the stone table, saying, "I beg Your Excellency's help this time!"

"Eh!" Zhen Yuanzi looked at the jade box Yunshan had opened and exclaimed softly, "It's actually a primordial spiritual root!"

Upon hearing Zhen Yuanzi mention the innate spiritual root, Yun Zhongzi, Qingfeng Mingyue, and the Nine-Headed Beast all brightened up, their gazes falling on the jade box, eager to see what kind of innate spiritual root it was.

"Please accept this innate spiritual root, Fire Jujube, Daoist!" Yunshan said respectfully.

This innate spiritual root, the Fire Jujube, was something Yunshan encountered some time ago when he traveled overseas. He originally intended to plant it in Qingqiu Mountain as a treasure for the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan.

At this point, the only option was to take it out and ask Zhen Yuanzi for help.

"Elder Yunshan, there's no need for such a grand gesture!" Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said.

This innate spiritual root, the Fire Jujube, is quite a good one. Every thousand years, it can produce dozens of Fire Jujubes, each containing a trace of innate fire element energy, making it extremely precious.

Furthermore, if it were to fall into the hands of a Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivator, it could be used as a spiritual material to refine a decent Dao-attaining artifact.

"As long as you can protect my Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan, we will be at your service in the future," Yunshan said again, afraid that Zhen Yuanzi would refuse.

After all, the matter of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox clan concerns the dignity of Emperor Jun and the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan.

However, Zhen Yuanzi did not reply immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and used his primordial spirit to deduce the secrets of heaven.

At this time, the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race was experiencing a period of great fortune, but the innate spiritual treasures Luoshu and Hetu, as well as the innate supreme treasure Donghuang Zhong, were suppressing this fortune, resulting in chaos in the heavenly secrets.

Even with Zhen Yuanzi's cultivation level, he could only deduce that a great bloody light would rise between Qingqiu Mountain and the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Clan, indicating that a calamity was about to befall them.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi opened his eyes and said, "Elder Yunshan, you should return to Qingqiu Mountain. I will make a decision on this matter myself."

As he spoke, Zhen Yuanzi looked at Yun Zhongzi and the nine-headed beast and said, "Yun Zhongzi, you and the nine-headed beast will accompany Elder Yunshan on this trip."

"Thank you so much, Master!" Yunshan and Yunyao were overjoyed.

"Disciple will respectfully obey Master's decree!" Yun Zhongzi and the nine-headed beast bowed in unison.

Only Qingfeng and Mingyue had a bitter taste in their mouths, it seems that the master is really angry this time, what should we do now.
