I have the best bloodline

He was so flustered by what happened that he was completely at a loss and didn't know what to do, so he could only ask the immortal personally recognized by Huang Yin.

"Butcher Kong? The storyteller from earlier?" Su Yan asked again.

"Yes, it was the wild boar he sold to me," the shopkeeper hurriedly answered Su Yan's question, afraid that if he was a step too slow, his whole family would be implicated.

"It's alright now. I've used magic to suppress the aura inside and burned it away with a big fire. You should all rest for a while!"

Su Yan thought for a moment and said something to comfort Huang Yin without revealing the truth. Then he called Huang Yin and prepared to return to the Huang family.

The number of people causing trouble in the town can vary, and Su Yan currently has no ability to change anything. All he can do now is report what happened today to his elders and let them or the administrators of Blackwater City take care of it.

"I've already thrown the compensation for damaging your kitchen on the counter. Manager, go check it out and gather some more people to put out the fire in the backyard!"

Su Yan gave a word of advice, then pulled Huang Yin along without looking back and rushed off to the Huang family's location.

The Sleeping Dragon Path of the Imperial Capital Mountain seems to be more complicated than Huang Yin described. We must immediately inform Sister Hong about what happened at the inn today.

The Sleeping Dragon Path had previously kept a low profile, but now they have done such a heinous thing in public. They probably think they have gained enough power and are probably plotting something terrible.

Less than a day after leaving Xia Yu, Su Yan had already begun to miss the land under the rule of Emperor Wusheng.

Although there were also those who used nightmares to suppress evil spirits, they all targeted the imperial court. If they harmed others, it was at most a matter of individual possession or casting curses. Unlike Blackwater City, which was so terrifying and barbaric, they actually twisted a pregnant woman into a black-haired wild boar and sold her to an inn.

That's absolutely terrifying. Su Yan estimates he won't eat pork for the next three to five years.

"Croak?"

As Su Yan and Huang Yin flew through the air, the horned toad in the spirit pet shop let out a cry and jumped up again.

I wrote a short piece inspired by those ghost stories; I don't know how well it turned out.

Chapter 225 The Sleeping Dragon Path of the Imperial Capital Mountain

"Quack!"

The horned toad was struggling to jump out of the white porcelain plate, but the storyteller's large hand reached out from behind and grabbed it, chuckling:

"I almost forgot about you. I'll get you a new place right now."

The storyteller, who had just left the inn and returned to the spirit pet shop, had a bright smile on his face. He picked up the flower toad from the ceramic plate and put it into a wooden bucket that was about half the height of a person and half full of water.

Although the horned toad is an amphibian, its main habitat is moist grassland and under dead trees. It breathes through its lungs and skin and cannot live in water like its larvae.

That would cause the horned toad to suffocate and die, but the storyteller who committed the evil deed not only did not escape, but even went back to the spirit pet shop and put the horned toad that he had forgotten to deal with earlier into a bucket of water.

After doing all this, the storyteller surnamed Kong left the spirit pet shop with a sly grin on his face.

"Believe it or not, I'm not begging you to believe. Lord Mianlong is about to awaken. Anyone who dares to curse Lord Mianlong or the followers of the Mianlong Way will die a horrible death. If you're not dead by morning, I'll personally strangle you tonight."

"Lord Mianlong is a true immortal; those who believe in him will live forever."

"Hey hey hey"

The storyteller, beaming with pride, swayed his head and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

The horned toad, thrown into the bucket, floated on the water's surface by sliding its feet and using its air bladder.

It stared longingly at the shop entrance.

"Hey! Don't touch anything inside. The shopkeeper isn't here right now, and some of the spirit pets are poisonous!"

The owner of the pet shop was on good terms with the neighbors. Su Yan and Huang Yin had called out to the shopkeeper and waiter, but they hadn't seen them. However, the neighbors already knew that the owner of the pet shop was out.

Upon seeing someone sneaking into the pet shop, the owner of the fishing tackle shop next door shouted to stop the stranger.

"Old Chen is really something. He's been out for a long time and he doesn't even close the shop door. Isn't he afraid of attracting thieves?"

The owner of the fishing tackle shop shook his head and casually closed the door of the pet shop.

The horned toad blinked its big eyes, then spoke a series of long, drawn-out sounds:

"Quack! Quack—"

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

On the other side, Su Yan and Huang Yin also returned to the tea room courtyard of the Huang family, which was used to entertain distinguished guests.

"Auntie!"

Su Yan transformed back into a fox and ran to the second-floor lobby of the pavilion, looking dejected. She immediately spotted her aunt playing mahjong. Her aunt looked delighted, while the other three seniors looked rather gloomy; clearly, they had all suffered a setback at her hands.

The concept of luck is truly peculiar; Su Yan has become invincible in the world of gambling, surpassing even Xia Yu.

"Auntie!"

Su Yan jumped a few times and landed in her aunt's arms, looking pitiful, and said, "There are so many people here who use witchcraft to suppress evil spirits!"

"what?"

Upon seeing her nephew, who was curled up like a ball, the aunt's smile faltered, and she said, "...A follower of the Nightmare Suppression?"

"Yes! They were completely lawless!"

Su Yan hopped onto the table, covered her belly with her fluffy white tail, stood up, and began to recount, in an unedited version, what she had just seen and heard.

The problem with the demons in the Nightmare Town isn't too serious, since even the cultivation world has struggled to cure them for so long. However, the demons Su Yan encountered in the Nightmare Town were practitioners of animal creation techniques.

This is something even those who practice Nightmare Suppression are wary of. The art of creating animals is far too evil, and those who practice Nightmare Suppression are afraid that their fellow disciples will torture them in this way. Therefore, the Nightmare Suppression lineages that have been passed down to this day are all Nightmare Suppression lineages that do not contain any forbidden methods of the cultivation world.

The Nightmare Sect, which contained the Dao of Creating Animals, was artificially eradicated by the cultivation world long ago.

When Su Yan told the truth, the expressions on the faces of the four Earth Immortals changed slightly.

"Are you sure it was Mianlongdao who did this?" Hongling asked after a long pause.

It wasn't that she didn't believe what Su Yan said; it was just that what Su Yan said was too outrageous.

The founders and followers of the Sleeping Dragon Path were, to put it bluntly, just some rural villagers and peasant women. It was already quite extraordinary that they had achieved so much in their cultivation, as they were mostly illiterate.

Moreover, Zu Su Yan also said that they were practicing the animal creation technique from the Nightmare Suppression lineage, which was already half-lost.

Given the gravity of the matter, Hongling had no choice but to confirm with Su Yan whether his judgment was correct.

"Don't underestimate my nephew just because he's young. He's seen plenty of Nightmare Suppressors," my aunt remarked.

Although Su Yan was not very old, he had participated in the battle in which the Emperor Wusheng destroyed the leader of the Nightmare Town Sect in the Central Province.

Although it was merely an ornament, huddled up on Emperor Xia Yu's shoulder, Su Yan had indeed witnessed the power of the most powerful members of the Nightmare Suppression faction.

Su Yan couldn't possibly mistake the Nightmare Suppression Technique!

"A pig's offspring with the blood of a dragon. No wonder."

Hongling suddenly remembered that some time ago, when she visited the city lord's mansion, the old city lord complained to her about the many cases of pregnant women going missing recently, and told her to pay attention to her family's situation.

Although the Huang family has an Earth Immortal in charge, the highest cultivation level among the clan members is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, and he is an old man who is very old and has exhausted his energy and blood, so he has no fighting power at all.

There are far too many cases of pregnant women going missing, and the Huang family is one of the most populous clans in Blackwater City, with several thousand members, most of whom are ordinary people. If something were to happen to the Huang family, the city lord would find it very troublesome.

So when Hongling visited, he specifically mentioned the missing persons case to her, telling her to pay more attention to her family so that she wouldn't throw a tantrum in the city lord's mansion if something happened and she blamed him for not reminding her.

Hongling didn't care about this matter. Blackwater City was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there were many wild animals, so disappearances were all too common.

She simply told the Huang family to be careful when going out and not to go to the mountains or water for recreation in the near future.

But after Su Yan's suggestion about the pig fetus being a dragon seed, the carefree Hong Ling finally realized the connection between the pregnant woman's disappearance and the Sleeping Dragon Path.

The so-called dragon offspring was actually an underdeveloped human fetus.

Excuse me for a moment.

Thinking of this, Hong Ling stood up from her seat, turned around, and used her escape technique to disappear instantly.

She was on her way to the city lord's mansion to explain the matter of the pig fetus and dragon seed to the old city lord.

Hongling didn't intend to handle it herself, because these matters were under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lords of the Southern State are not appointed by the state; they are all mountain kings who occupy the mountains. They are called city lords only because they do not have enough power to establish a country.

The Southern State is the territory of sects and factions. There is no systematic country here, not even a country with a system similar to the Xia Yu Dynasty. The main forces are the three major demonic sects and countless independent warlords.

Because the Demonic Sect operates a business with no risk and huge profits, it places great importance on hierarchy and order!

Therefore, after learning about this, Hongling went directly to the city lord's mansion to discuss it with the old city lord.

She was just a long-term resident here, so naturally she wouldn't do anything to displease the host.

"Where are you going?"

Seeing that Old Mosquito had left his seat, True Lord of Hatching Chicks and Daoist Firefly also stood up. Auntie quickly stopped them and gestured for Su Yan to go up and fill in.

"None of you are leaving! Last year you guys beat me so badly I almost had to drink porridge!"

Chapter 226 The Fox's Hand Strikes Back at the Elder

"Auntie, how should this amount be calculated?"

Su Yan, who resembled a snow fox, stood up and lay on the mahjong table, using his telekinetic powers to cut and draw cards. Upon looking at the cards, he saw that the cards were extremely smooth. However, Su Yan himself did not quite understand the formula for winning, so he asked his aunt what his hand was called.

"It's called 'Three Houses Boom'."

Upon seeing Su Yan declare a winning hand, Auntie glanced at the cards on Su Yan's table, showing a slight look of surprise. She then looked at the Chick Hatchery True Monarch and the Firefly Taoist, clicking her tongue in amazement.

At the start of the game, he drew four tiles from the four cardinal directions (East, South, West, North) and then got a pair of "Heavenly Hand" tiles (a "Big Four of Happiness" hand). Even without counting the points, he could already score 256 points. If Su Yan won the hand and drew more points, the score would increase exponentially.

My aunt came with a heart full of revenge, so playing mahjong was no small matter; she had to calculate points, kongs, and chips.

"Uh"

Su Yan didn't understand, but she still drew six cards from the end of the deck and showed them to her aunt.

“Four thousand three hundred catties of spirit stones for one family. Thank you.” Auntie didn’t even need time to ponder. After looking at Su Yan’s cards and the middle number, she smiled at True Monarch Hatching Chicks and Daoist Firefly.

As she spoke, the aunt raised her right hand and touched her storage ring to Su Yan's storage ring, and the 4,300 jin of spirit stones were successfully transferred to Su Yan's hand.

One payment at a time, no delays, no debts.

Both the Chick Hatchery True Lord and the Firefly Taoist stared dumbfounded at Su Yan, who was called Tianhu.

When Su Yan sat down at the table, the three Earth Immortals had already agreed to play sixteen rounds, which is sixty-four matches.
