Chapter 243 Taiyin Ancestor

Just as Su Yan ran into her aunt's arms, excitedly telling her that she had made a fortune, the cultivators who had been intimidated and dared not move did not immediately rob Su Yan, but instead landed on the ground to pick up their own junior.

"Ancestor, don't go."

One of the Earth Immortal's juniors, seeing that his ancestor wanted to go to Su Yan's side, most likely to ask for the Beast Taming Sect's Daoist treasures, quickly stopped his ancestor's actions:

"The Daoist scriptures are not on that fox demon; the Tower of Babel was thrown into a spatial gap."

She had participated in the battle for the white jade steps and was located inside the pale gold array, so her view was unobstructed. Naturally, she witnessed Su Yan and Dao Hua Zhenjun's deadly battle, and finally, a white nine-tailed fox emerged from Su Yan's body.

She didn't understand spatial gaps or the universe of celestial beings, but she was very clear that the white fox definitely had a powerful background, one that a terrestrial immortal like her own ancestor could not afford to provoke.

Therefore, upon seeing the ancestor's actions, she quickly spoke up to dissuade the ancestor from acting recklessly.

The last nine-tailed fox to gain widespread fame was the empress of the Xia Dynasty. Not long ago, during the New Year, that tyrannical empress captured tens of thousands of cultivators, extracted their souls to light sky lanterns for celebration.

In the eyes of cultivators in the Southern State, the nine-tailed fox is not a lucky symbol. The nine-tailed foxes, led by Emperor Wusheng, are even more brutal than demonic cultivators.

"Nine-tailed fox?"

The old man's face showed a visibly startled expression, his initial delight gradually turning into a thoughtful look: "Did you see it clearly?"

“Reporting to the Ancestor, what I said is absolutely true, and I can even swear on my five-year monthly allowance,” she said earnestly.

"Then let's go take a look." After a moment of contemplation, the old man made a difficult decision.

It wasn't that he didn't believe what his grandson said; it was just that the items inside the Beast Taming Sect were too tempting. After all, that fox was a lone fox that had plundered an ancient sect that had a powerful demon guarding its gates.

Leaving aside the Daoist treasures inside, even the historical documents and alchemical texts within are invaluable treasures for cultivators with limited knowledge.

However, considering what his grandson had said, the patriarch ultimately decided not to be the first to act, and instead let the other cultivators step forward to force the fox to hand over the historical documents it had obtained.

If all goes well, he will go and have the fox make a copy to take home. But if something serious happens and it involves those immortals in the mortal world, the old man will naturally choose to defect and become the fox's dog.

The old man led his granddaughter around to Su Yan and his aunt's side. He stopped talking and quietly observed the changes in the scene. Whenever an immortal appeared, he would lie and say that he was standing behind Su Yan, simply because he wanted to protect Su Yan and fight against those extremely greedy, shameless and despicable bandits!

If nothing happens, then standing behind Su Yan will also block their retreat.

The old man was calculating his options. Just as he landed not far behind Su Yan, two other Earth Immortals, also accompanied by their juniors, quietly landed as well.

The group exchanged glances, then turned back, clearly sharing the same goal.

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

"We'll talk about the little fox later."

The aunt interrupted Su Yan's words, glanced sideways at the cultivators approaching from behind, and then spoke:

"Is there something you need?"

"I am Yan Chi Dao Ren from Fenji Valley"

The newcomer politely clasped his hands in greeting to the aunt and continued, "I have noticed that you fellow Daoists have dark circles between your brows, which suggests that a fierce battle may be brewing. Therefore, I have come to inquire whether you need any assistance."

Although he spoke in a rather polite manner, his words were laced with a threatening tone.

The reason why Daoist Yanchi came here was undoubtedly to ask Su Yan for a copy of the Daoist Canon of the Beast Taming Sect. If Su Yan and his aunt agreed, he could switch sides with his aunt and help them escape from this place.

The aunt's side was quite strong, with four Earth Immortals protecting Su Yan. If a real fight broke out later, who knows what unexpected trouble might arise. Therefore, Daoist Yan Chi decided to negotiate terms with the aunt's side.

As long as they agree to share, I will do everything I can to help them break through.

They had a high probability of escaping anyway, and Daoist Yan Chi was worried that the duck he had almost caught would fly away.

"Daoist Yan Chi, are you demonic cultivators really starting to show your kindness and act like good people?"

The cultivators were displeased when they saw that Daoist Yan Chi wanted to eat alone. Another one teased, "..."

"If that fat fox agreed to your request, why can't everyone get a share? If everyone gets a share, there won't be any bloodshed. Am I right?"

“That’s extremely rude of you,” another Earth Immortal interjected. “I support Daoist Yan Chi, and I’m also willing to help my fellow Daoists escape!”

His idea was the same as that of Daoist Yanchi: to first stabilize Su Yan and the others before acquiring the Daoist scriptures.

He had no intention of sharing it with the cultivators present, nor did he want to give Su Yan a chance. Wouldn't it be the same if everyone got a share, as no one would get a share? Such a precious Daoist secret technique was best known to as few people as possible.

However, Su Yan's side was also quite strong, so it was clearly impossible for them to successfully kill and rob.

So he could only compromise a little and let Su Yan and the others learn the secret techniques of the Beast Taming Sect.

"Auntie."

Seeing the cultivators arguing and discussing how to rob him, Su Yan sensed something was wrong and turned to his aunt, asking, "Can we escape?"

The aunt sneered, a disdainful expression on her face, and pinched Su Yan's butt, saying, "No need to run."

It wasn't just their group who were running away; even Qi's ancestor was watching from heaven.

The legendary Taiyin Heavenly Dog, for some unknown reason, suddenly came south to find Lian Qi, and Lian Qi happened to bring his reclusive ancestor along as well.

Old Dragon also agreed to join in the fun. What we really need to be afraid of now are these arrogant cultivators standing here.

"You desire the Beast Taming Sect's Daoist scriptures so much? Then I will bestow them upon you as a reward."

While the cultivators were arguing, a blood-red aura rolled in from the horizon, and a crimson crescent moon changed the sun hanging high in the sky, exuding a chilling and sinister aura, its crimson color reflecting on the earth.

"I'll send you to the Netherworld. Once you're there, go ask that bitch Qingyue for the secret technique! Remember to give her my regards and wish her eternal damnation!"

A thick black fog filled the sky and the earth, and everything in its path decayed.

A giant black mist palm descended from the sky, striking directly at the earth immortals and cultivators arguing over the ownership of the Daoist scriptures.

………………

There will be another chapter later.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 244 The Very, Very, Very, Very Old Auntie! (Third Update)

Chapter 244. Old, Old, Old Auntie! (Third Update)

A crimson crescent moon hung high in the sky, completely obscuring the sun. Thick, persistent black mist rolled in and swept across the land, transforming into a gigantic hand that slammed heavily onto the cultivators who were discussing the Daoist scriptures of the Beast Taming Sect.

"Ahhhh-"

The black mist hand seemed to have no killing power; it merely trapped the cultivators.

But what happened next chilled the cultivators who hadn't participated in the discussion of the Daoist Canon. Rolling black mist was eroding them, dissolving their skin and revealing their bones. Their organs evaporated, leaving only their souls writhing in agony within the black mist.

A shrill scream echoed across the blood-red earth as the black mist carried out a brutal massacre on all cultivators who coveted the Daoist scriptures.

On this blood-red land, there was no escape and no way to avoid it. The escape techniques that the Earth Immortals used as easily as eating and drinking were completely ineffective.

Both ordinary Five Elements Escape Techniques and extremely rare secret escape techniques have lost their effectiveness.

A beautiful woman with a charming face, yet exuding a strong murderous aura, slowly emerged from the blood-red waning moon. Her flawless white gauze dress reflected a crimson glow under the blood moon's light, and a chilling aura swept across the land like a winter's cold tide.

"Auntie... a celestial being?"

Su Yan secretly glanced at the beautiful woman. Although he couldn't clearly see her cultivation level, the powerful and majestic aura emanating from her, as well as the subtle feeling that the world had to revolve around her, reminded Su Yan of the time when the Wusheng Emperor used him as a scarf to fight against the leader of the Nightmare Town Sect.

The aura emanating from the beautiful woman before him was exactly the same as that of the Unborn Emperor who had opened the universe back then. The beautiful woman was undoubtedly also a person with both divine form and physical perfection!

This is commonly known as: Heavenly Man.

"The ancestor of the Tengu clan: Taiyin Tengu," Auntie answered Su Yan's question, then secretly transmitted her voice to Su Yan, "You'd better be careful what you say later. The Taiyin Ancestor's personality is extremely unpredictable. If you say the wrong thing, you might be punished."

The Yin-Yang Immortals of the Demon Clan refer to the Sun and the Moon, and they are the current rulers of the City of Ten Thousand Demons.

Excluding the aloof divine beast races, the Golden Crow of the Sun is the king of all avian demon races, and the demon races respectfully call him the Lord of Day, while the Heavenly Dog of the Moon rules over all beast-like demon races and is respectfully called the Lord of Night.

The City of Ten Thousand Demons was the main base of the demon race, built around the two immortals.

All weak, vulnerable, and non-combatant demon races can receive the protection of the Two Immortals in the City of Ten Thousand Demons. Even ferocious beasts that commit serious crimes among humans can receive protection as long as they are willing to accept the rules of the City of Ten Thousand Demons.

Although the Yin and Yang Immortals are of equal status, the Lord of Daylight enjoys a higher reputation among the demon race.

Because the Lord of the Night, Taiyin Tiangou, does not usually interfere in the daily management of the City of Ten Thousand Demons, and his unpredictable and capricious personality makes it difficult for the demons to withstand him.

Even Shan Huan, who has inexplicable bad breath and is fearless, becomes extremely polite when he sees the Lord of the Night, his words filled with reverence, and he dares not utter any vulgar, obscene, or filthy words.

Therefore, when encountering the Moon God, it is best to maintain reverence and courtesy throughout, otherwise the Lord of Night will indeed find fault and punish without hesitation.

When my aunt was studying at the Wan Yao Academy, every time the Lord of the Night came to inspect the school, all the students in the academy had to copy the academy's rules two hundred times as punishment.

Not only did Su Yan find the Lord of the Night terrifying, but even her aunt felt somewhat guilty when she met her.

"Lord of the Night".

Su Yan snuggled closer to her aunt, silently uttering the new name her aunt had taught her.

………………

After slaughtering the cultivators, the Lord of the Night's anger subsided slightly. He floated in mid-air and slowly landed on the blood-red earth.

"You've read through the Daoist scriptures of the Beast Taming Sect?"

Several miles away, the Lord of Night looked at Su Yan in his aunt's arms and asked her a question in a low voice.

For the Lord of the Night, the words "Beast Taming Sect" are strictly forbidden, not to mention its lineage. Any cultivator who dares to touch anything belonging to the Beast Taming Sect will be subjected to the Lord of the Night's extremely cruel and bloody suppression.

"No, I haven't seen it. The towering pagoda that the Beast Taming Sect used to preserve its lineage was uprooted by the Fairy Sister and thrown directly into the spatial gap."

Stared at by the Lord of the Night, Su Yan's heart trembled and he subconsciously spoke, recounting what had happened, including his previous battle with Dao Hua Zhenjun.

The Lord of the Night's gaze seemed to possess a soul-capturing effect; with just a single glance, cultivators would lose all their secrets before her.

As soon as Su Yan finished explaining the matters concerning the Beast Taming Sect's lineage, a slight ripple appeared on the Lord of the Night's face, which had been as hard as ice. Even the tyrannical aura of the blood-red crescent moon in the sky lessened slightly.

Su Yan seemed to see a message silently pop up above her head: [Lord of the Night's Initial Favorability +40]

Having received a reassuring answer from Su Yan, the Lord of the Night felt slightly better and said:

Are they... with you?

The Lord of the Night appeared to float slowly, but her movement speed was actually extremely fast. While Su Yan was speaking, she had already moved to the side of the group. She raised her hand and patted Su Yan's head as a form of praise, and then looked at the three Earth Immortals and some cultivators behind Su Yan.

“Senior! We never had any designs on that Daoist Canon. We are reclusive cultivators living in the nearby mountains and forests. We are innocent cultivators who were forced into this sect.”
