Chapter 70 - 69: Reencounter with Murong Ziyuan

Chapter 70: Chapter 69: Reencounter with Murong Ziyuan

Yang Shi was loading his weapon.

The long magazine had a capacity of 100 rounds!

This submachine gun could empty the magazine in 5 seconds, ensuring absolute fire coverage.

The regular Golden Sword Skill talismans were simply not enough; they would be drained of spiritual power after firing a quarter of the magazine.

But the Second Grade talismans of the Golden Spirit Sword Skill were different. They were genuine Qi Cultivation ninth level talismans made by Ding Zhen, hence their power was naturally much greater than that of ordinary talismans.

Yang Shi glanced again at his body covered in black fur, ready to go and fight Wu Wukai.

“You like the aesthetics of power, huh? I’ll show you what violent aesthetics are.”

“Hold on! Don’t be rash!”

Yang Genshuo hurriedly stopped the excited Yang Shi.

“Ancestor, don’t stop me, I can’t face going home with shame!”

Go back and tell Jiang Xiaobai… that I mistakenly ate an elixir and turned into a Vajra Ape? Shall we play man-ape games from now on?

Yang Shi couldn’t accept it.

“This state has a time limit, after some time the fur will fall off by itself, and you’ll return to your original appearance.”

Here, Yang Genshuo could see on Yang Shi’s Character Card under the[Status]column a [Demon Beast Transformation (Duration: one month)].

After listening, Yang Shi finally calmed down.

“Then I’ll stay up here for a month before going down the mountain… Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be able to disguise myself.”

Forget about disguising as a Demon Cultivator, demons themselves would attack on sight… he had thoroughly become a humanoid Demon Cultivator.

Yang Shi, having been tricked by Wu Wukai this time, suddenly felt that Boss Hao’s attitude towards Wu Wukai was understandable.

“However… fortunately, the other elixir from Senior Brother Wu has already been verified. It only lowers the cultivation realm, and although I haven’t been cultivating, I’ve eaten so much spiritual food over the years that there’s a lot of spiritual power accumulated in my body, not as much as before.”

“If I use this elixir to digest the excess spiritual power, that would be extremely good.”

Thinking this, Yang Shi swallowed the second elixir.

A moment later…

Boom!

A surging tide of Demonic Qi erupted at the central location of Xuan Stone Sect!

Demon Devices began to crawl out of Yang Shi’s body.

Above Yang Shi’s head, dark clouds billowed as 13 Demon Devices floated within them, making him resemble a giant of the Demon Path.

Xuanbao Town, being the nearest, was shocked by the cultivators of Xuan Stone Sect.

“No way, has Blood Soul Valley come to attack our sect?”

The next instant, several beings at the Foundation Establishment Stage and Great Powers flew in from Xuan Stone Sect’s several mystical stones!

“Who dares to run wild in our Xuan Stone Sect!”

“Move aside, let me execute this evildoer from the Demon Path!”

“Such surging Demonic Qi, an evilness that reaches the heavens!”

“Why is it a black chimpanzee?”

In the sky, four streaks of light almost simultaneously reached the outskirts of Xuanbao Town and captured Yang Shi, who had just consumed the Nine-Turned Qi Blood Pill.

Yang Shi: “…”

“Wait, honorable Immortals, please listen to my explanation… I say I’m a Demon Hunter, and all these Demon Devices are my spoils of war, do you believe me?”

A white-bearded old Daoist snorted coldly, “If you’re not a Demon Cultivator, would you be refining Demon Devices? A body covered in black hair is obviously not something good! Speak! What is your purpose in coming to our Xuan Stone Sect!”

“This fellow’s disguise is remarkable; I can’t even see through his cultivation. If it weren’t for the eruption of the Demon Devices, I would have mistaken him for an ordinary Innate Grandmaster… Let me burn his fur with Fire Skill to reveal his true form!”

“First, take him to the Thunder Stone, electrocute him for seven days and seven nights, and he will confess everything.”

The three Foundation Establishment Stage powerhouses were talking, each making their own point, and it looked like they were about to arrange for Yang Shi to be utterly destroyed…

Meanwhile, one Foundation Establishment Stage Elder had not spoken, his eyes filled with doubt as he looked at Yang Shi, as if pondering his identity.

Yang Shi couldn’t help but remind them, “I think you are being a bit extreme… Why not start by actively talking to me? I can explain.”

The silent Foundation Establishment Elder asked, “Which subordinate of Blood Soul Valley are you under? Why have you appeared at the Xuan Stone Sect?”

“I really am not from the Demon Path, I request to see the Eldest Senior Sister! I belong to her!”

“Hmph, you want to see Ziyan? First, come with me to the Sect Leader, then we’ll talk!” The old daoist with a white beard captured him, leaped up, and the two flew towards the main hall of the Xuan Stone Sect on a long sword.

On the way, Yang Shi’s face was as pitch black as the Demonic Qi above his head.

“Wu Wukai! I’m going to kill you!”

“Ha, you talk of killing at the drop of a hat, yet claim you’re not from the Demon Path!”

“…”

Yang Genshuo watched as Yang Shi was taken away by four Foundation Establishment Elders, speechless.

“No, does this ‘Nine-Turned Qi Blood Pill’ also convert Demonic Qi??? Wu Wukai, you really are a genius!”

When Yang Shi first absorbed the elixir, the furious power of the elixir not only transformed the Spiritual Power in his body into surging Qi and blood but also absorbed the Demonic Qi from the thirteen Demon Devices that had entered his body!

As a result, the Demon Devices exploded out of his body, one after another.

This time, Yang Shi was like a durian fallen into a cesspool, unable to wash himself clean.

However, fortunately… Murong Ziyuan was present at the Xuan Stone Sect at this time.

After she arrived, she didn’t recognize Yang Shi at first glance. It wasn’t until the black-haired gorilla Yang Shi spoke in human language and took out the Xuan Stone travel talisman that she realized Yang Shi’s identity.

Murong Ziyuan said a few words to the Sect Leader, then took Yang Shi away directly.

The four Elders were somewhat dissatisfied at first, but thinking about Murong Ziyuan’s feat of fighting three Demon Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage almost single-handedly and nearly slaying all three, they thought… Ziyan must have her own reasoning, and then they dispersed.

Whoosh~

Thunder Light flashed in Murong Ziyuan’s hand, and the thirteen Demon Devices on Yang Shi’s head, as if meeting their nemesis, instantly retreated back into Yang Shi’s body, not daring to move an inch.

“Why did you encounter Ding Zhen?”

“It was a chance encounter on the road. Seeing me hunting from the Demon Path, Brother Ding Zhen offered to help repair my Demon Devices for the purpose of concealing my identity and self-protection. Oh, and when he left, he also gave me six Second Grade Talismans.”

“Oh, you must not mention Ding Zhen’s identity to anyone; he is my person.”

“That goes without saying, I am also Eldest Senior Sister’s person, of the same camp!”

Seeing Yang Shi eagerly climbing up the pole, Murong Ziyuan didn’t say anything else; her expression was cold and detached, showing no emotional fluctuations.

“Eldest Senior Sister, did Senior Brother Bai really…?”

“His grave is on the back mountain. If you have unfinished bonds, you may go see him.”

Despite knowing the outcome, Yang Shi still asked, holding onto a sliver of hope.

What if Eldest Senior Sister’s Immortal Technique was profound enough to preserve a wisp of his soul?

“Sigh…”

“Why did you come to the Xuan Stone Sect?”

“To sell my Yang Family’s spiritual food in exchange for Immortal Cultivation resources.”

“Hmm, go ahead.”

Murong Ziyuan nodded, her pure white and flawless head tilted up slightly. Although they were only an arm’s length apart, she seemed as distant and ethereal as an immortal, and Yang Shi felt a faint sense of distance.

He pulled out a blue Jade Ring from himself.

“Eldest Senior Sister, I have a storage ring here containing the spiritual food I brought. But… I am not a Cultivator and can’t open it; could you please retrieve the contents for me?”

This was the storage ring that Bai Heyu had used to set up an Array for him; Chu Qiao had left it to Yang Shi, thereby fulfilling all his deceased Senior Brother’s last wishes.

Jiang Xiaobai could open it. The space inside wasn’t large, but it was enough to hold this year’s 15,000 Grain Avoidance Cakes; otherwise, Yang Shi would have needed a horse-drawn cart to bring them to the Xuan Stone Sect, which would have taken a lot longer…

“OK.”

After Murong Ziyuan received it, a slight movement of Spiritual Power extracted the items. 15,000 neatly arranged packets of Grain Avoidance Cake appeared on the ground, along with two large barrels.

Yang Shi carried the two large barrels in front of Murong Ziyuan.

“These are some special products I’ve brought for Eldest Senior Sister, to thank you for your care over the years.”
