Chapter 544: Dear Ancestor (Pre-Dawn Cloud Dawn +2)
...
This was precisely the moment when enemies surrounded them from all sides.
Chen Huaian felt he should rally every possible ally.
"Heaven's Calculation, help this venerable see who this big yellow dot represents!"
[This is your third divination today, consuming 1 top-grade spirit jade!]
[Heaven's Calculation in progress...]
The skies above Cangbo Mountain Range suddenly changed.
Xiao Feng, who had been instructing Young Master Yinyu on what to say later, looked up at the sky and froze in shock.
This Thunder Eye was identical to the one that had watched Real Person Jade Compassion undergo her tribulation.
Xiao Feng's heart trembled uncontrollably.
Could it be... his tribulation had come?
Even though he'd been so cautious, even though the heavenly laws hadn't locked onto him yet, why... Just as despair welled up in him, ready to protest—
The Thunder Eye gradually faded away.
The churning thunderclouds dispersed completely.
"So... it just came to look at this venerable once, then left?"
Xiao Feng felt something was off, but couldn't pinpoint what.
Still, as long as it wasn't his tribulation, that was good news.
He kicked Young Master Yinyu again: "When you go in later, say you regret entering the demonic path and want to reform! Then offer the treasure to that ancestor!
This venerable checked for you - though you're a demon cultivator, you've only killed three chickens and two fish in your life, tricked a few girls out of their virtue. Not crimes worth dying for, those righteous sect disciples won't give you trouble!"
Recalling Young Master Yinyu's memories still made Xiao Feng's eyes burn.
To be precise, Young Master Yinyu hadn't tricked the girls.
Rather, with his delicate features and cultivation of charm techniques, he'd been forcibly taken by several burly village women—and not just once.
But since they were all unmarried maidens after all,
he could only phrase it this way.
"Ancestor, will this really work?" Young Master Yinyu trembled as he clutched the box Xiao Feng handed him.
Inside was a Soul Stabilizing Orb.
An innate spiritual treasure, though not one for combat.
A cultivator possessing this orb would have their soul protected from being forcibly extracted by other divine abilities. For demon cultivators who frequently faced inner demons, this orb was a supreme treasure.
One could say with this innate spiritual treasure, inner demons were practically nothing.
As for other possible miraculous uses—
Old Demon Xiao Feng hadn't discovered them yet.
But this Soul Stabilizing Orb had once sparked bloody conflicts, coveted by many Great Ascension Three Tribulations realm cultivators.
Now willing to use this innate spiritual treasure as a bridge showed his sincerity.
Mainly because Old Demon Xiao was now the greatest demon himself.
Inner demons or the like...
Were like roadside dirt to be casually crushed.
"It'll work. This Soul Stabilizing Orb is a demon sect's supreme treasure, only this venerable possesses it—essentially this venerable's token." Xiao Feng's expression turned wistful with memories, but he didn't elaborate to Young Master Yinyu.
"Go, give the orb to that one. They'll understand our intentions."
He turned his back to Young Master Yinyu, gazing up at the bright moon.
His black robes fluttered sharply in the breeze.
Young Master Yinyu didn't know what the ancestor was thinking.
But he guessed it must be the grand undertaking of the demon sect's revival.
At this thought, courage finally welled up in his heart. Kneeling on one knee behind Xiao Feng, he gritted his teeth: "Ancestor, this disciple will go now... If this disciple dies..."
"Your wives, I shall care for them!"
Xiao Feng didn't turn around, only softly floated these words over.
"Thank you, Ancestor!"
Thinking of his dozen-plus burly wives, Young Master Yinyu felt a liberating relief. Without further hesitation, he flew straight toward Moon Shadow Sect on his sword.
...
[Heaven's Calculation complete!]
[Your divination target: Heavenly Demon Sect's Grand Ancestor—Xiao Feng. Strength: Great Ascension Three Tribulations realm completion.]
"Heavenly Demon Sect's ancestor!?"
Chen Huaian was stunned.
Huh?
Really?
Why would the Heavenly Demon Sect's ancestor have a neutral stance toward Moon Shadow Sect?
That yellow-with-hints-of-green even showed goodwill...
"This venerable once killed a Heavenly Demon Sect ancestor and young master, one named Ji Wutian, the other named Ji... Ji Dong?"
"So this Xiao Feng is the ultimate ancestor of Heavenly Demon Sect..." Chen Huaian pondered but couldn't figure out the situation.
Still, he also cultivated the Heavenly Demon Art.
Perhaps he could use this to establish relations with the demon ancestor.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
A Great Ascension Three Tribulations peak expert like the demon ancestor was too valuable to ignore.
Soon, he noticed the yellow circle representing the demon ancestor remained stationary atop Cangbo Mountain, while seven red circles were already approaching the Cangbo Mountain area.
...
"Hmph! Moon Shadow Sect indeed has major problems."
Burning Heaven the monk sneered coldly as he watched Old Demon Xiao gazing at the moon atop Cangbo Mountain.
Moon Shadow Sect was currently the leading righteous sect.
Logically, someone like Xiao Feng shouldn't appear nearby.
Moreover, Xiao Feng didn't seem to be here for trouble.
Thus, the matter became clear—
Sword Master Chen Huaian must be acquainted with Xiao Feng.
Old Demon Xiao's presence here meant secret communications with Sword Master Chen.
"Amitabha, Old Demon Xiao, just when I stopped searching everywhere, you deliver yourself to me!" Burning Heaven didn't conceal himself, standing directly in the moon's path where Xiao Feng gazed, his eyes icy.
"This monk has long wished to speak with you, but you always hid in the Void Abyss, leaving no opportunity! Today you emerge voluntarily? Excellent!"
The old monk's eyes nearly overflowed with delight.
Xiao Feng slightly raised his gaze, left hand resting on his demonic sword, right hand on his demonic blade. His hoarse voice exploded through the frigid air:
"Burning Heaven, old monk."
"To reach Moon Shadow Sect, you'll have to step over this venerable's corpse!"
As the words fell,
he raised his sword to point at Burning Heaven.
Demonic energy surged to the heavens!
...
Moon Shadow Sect.
"Oh ho!"
Chen Huaian accepted the watermelon piece Li Qingran fed him while studying the world map: "How interesting, the demon ancestor is confronting seven red circles! Are they about to fight?"
He also noticed a small red dot approaching Moon Shadow Sect.
Currently trapped in the Cosmic Star Ring Formation's first illusion layer, anxiously circling within.
"Qingran, bring the person in the illusion formation here!"
"Master, how did you know someone was in the formation?"
Li Qingran lay prone on the bamboo couch, cheeks propped in her hands, full of curiosity.
After all, the Cosmic Star Ring Formation was extremely formidable.
Even Great Ascension cultivators' spiritual senses would be completely blocked.
And Chen Huaian wasn't at the formation core now.
"Because... *ahem*... your master has X-ray vision." With that, he deliberately glanced at Li Qingran's chest and smirked: "Not going yet?"
Li Qingran's face flushed red as she covered her chest and left.
She decided to wear her undergarments before seeing her master again.
The sheer, gauzy kind—letting him only glimpse hints through, tormenting him with desire, hmph!
...
Soon after, a slender, pale-faced effeminate man was brought in by Xu An and Duan Feng.
"Ancestor, this is a demon cultivator who insists on seeing you, claims to have vitally important information!"
A demon cultivator? Expected.
After all, he came with Old Demon Xiao.
Chen Huaian looked curiously at the kneeling man below.
Before he could speak,
the man suddenly rolled forward to clutch his legs.
Snot and tears flowing as he wailed:
"Ancestor! My dear ancestor!!!"
