"Of course we know we're no match for the Blood Demon. But what can we do?" Void said with a helpless, bitter smile.
"If only we could find the legendary Penglai Immortal Mountain," Xuan Yang sighed.
"Bullshit~ If you're so capable, go into the Jade Pool Immortal Palace and beg that woman to tell you about Penglai Immortal Mountain~" Dan Dong mocked disdainfully.
"Are you talking about Yao Ji, the mistress of Yaochi Immortal Palace? Why should I ask her for help? Can't I find her myself?" Xuan Yang said with an unnatural expression.
"Yes, you can find it. I wonder who it was five hundred years ago who pursued Ye Xiulan, the top disciple of the Immortal Palace, and got beaten so badly that he couldn't show his face in public!" Dan Dong said mockingly.
Chapter 906: Escape, Emotion
"Dandong, believe it or not, I'll fight you to the death!" Master Xuanyang jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on, pointing at Dandong and cursing him with a red face.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you? Let's fight!" Dan Dong retorted without backing down.
"You two, stop fooling around. It's a bit unreliable to search for the Jade Pool Immortal Palace now, but fortunately, every five hundred years they send a successor to cultivate in the mortal world. Another five hundred years have passed, I wonder which woman will enter the mortal world this time, and what kind of waves she will cause! But I think that Yao Ji only has a thousand years of cultivation, at most the Earth Immortal realm, she's still somewhat inferior to the Blood Demon. Relying on her alone is not enough~" The void blocked the two, frowning and worried.
"Huh? What's that?" Dan Dong suddenly exclaimed, his body jolting as he was thrown to the ground. He clapped his hands, releasing a gentle, pure magical energy. The transparent object, about to dissipate, slowly recovered under the nourishment of this energy, maintaining its form. Upon closer inspection, it was clearly the soul of a woman. If Li Yang were here, he would recognize this woman as none other than Wang Gui, whom he had ruthlessly killed. When he killed Zhou Tong and the others, he showed no mercy. However, when he killed Wang Gui, he still felt a pang of reluctance and a touch of compassion. Wang Gui had always practiced pure Tai Chi, a top-tier internal martial art. While tempering the body, it was also crucial for mental training, making her soul far stronger and more resilient than that of ordinary people.
After Zhou Tong and the others died, their souls were quickly scattered by the wind. However, her soul, due to its regular tempering and her strong mental fortitude and unwavering will, was not scattered and remained in the world. This gave Dan Dong the opportunity to discover it and save it. If Dan Dong and the others had arrived any later, in a place like a mountaintop with howling winds, souls are most vulnerable and would soon have followed in Zhou Tong and the others' footsteps, truly dissipating. But now, thanks to Dan Dong's pure and powerful Buddhist magic, it not only did not dissipate but also became much more solidified.
"Poor thing, since we've met, it must be fate. I, the monk, will save your life~" Dan Dong's voice was surprisingly gentle. Looking at the sorrowful Wang Gui, he took out a pure white gourd radiating eerie energy, opened its mouth, and sucked Wang Gui's soul inside. Wang Gui's soul was too weak to communicate, so it could only be nurtured within the white jade gourd. Only when her soul reached a certain level of solidification and its energy became stronger could she communicate and ask what had happened to her that led to her being killed.
"The monk has shown compassion!" Master Xuanyang said, stroking his chin as he landed.
"Yes. Monk, you have done a good deed. But saving one person doesn't show your level of cultivation. There is a lot of resentment on this mountaintop. It seems that more than one person has died. Monk, why don't you show your great compassion and perform a ritual to help them all pass on to the afterlife?" Master Xukong also landed, his white beard and eyebrows dancing in the wind. Who can match his otherworldly demeanor these days?
"What do I care if they live or die? They brought this on themselves. Everyone has their own karma. Why should I meddle?" Dan Dong retorted with a cold snort.
"Then why did you attack this woman's soul?" Master Xuanyang was very dissatisfied with Dan Dong bringing up his embarrassing past and deliberately provoked the monk Dan Dong.
"I have a karmic connection with her, and her soul is pure and clean, and has a karmic connection with my Buddhist sect. My saving her is a matter of fate. As for the other wronged souls, they are burdened with karma. Why should I get entangled in their karma and let myself be tainted by it?" Monk Dandong said eloquently, leaving Daoist Xuanyang speechless.
Master Xukong stroked his white beard and said, "Hmm. The Blood Demon's true nature will take some time to manifest. I've sensed it too; among those who died here were his disciples. I think they gathered here because they received news of his impending awakening. But they were killed by someone who suddenly appeared, saving us a lot of trouble. What we need to do now isn't to stand here arguing and making pronouncements, but to figure out how to deal with the Blood Demon's true rebirth."
If Li Yang had witnessed what was happening here, he would have been utterly astonished. He had thought that by killing the women who harbored feelings for him and whom he also reciprocated, he would be safe once and for all, ensuring he would never again be in danger. He never imagined that even the dead could pose such a significant threat. Neither woman had truly died. One's soul, possessing considerable power, returned to her sect, and might one day be reborn, reappearing before him. The other was fortunately rescued by the Venerable Dandong, and her soul was being nurtured with a magical artifact like the White Jade Gourd. In the future, with a powerful soul, she could exist like a normal person.
Then everything he did would truly be exposed, and those two beauties might even team up to cause him trouble and seek revenge. If Li Yang knew about these things, he'd definitely be so worried he couldn't sleep.
Both the abbot of Dandong and Daoist Xuanyang agreed with Daoist Xukong's words.
"You're right. Why isn't that old Taoist priest Tian Yuanzi here? In the past, it was always the five of us discussing important matters of the cultivation world. Now, one isn't coming, and the other's gone mad. The righteous cultivation world these days is truly getting worse with each generation!"
"I am dissatisfied," said the abbot of Dandong.
“You’re right, that’s a problem too. Zhang Tianyi is willing to protect Xuan Yin Cave for Senior Hua Mandie, and that old fellow Tian Yuanzi has become less enthusiastic. It’s just the three of us running around, and our strength is really too weak.” Master Xuan Yang sighed.
"There's nothing we can do about it. On the way here, he sensed that something was going to happen to his disciple. His expression was very grim, so he didn't come with us. Instead, he went back to prepare something, which seemed to be very important," Master Xukong said, puzzled.
"What could it be? Is this important?" Master Xuanyang was also wondering and speculating.
"Hmph! Selfish and narrow-minded! All they know is to protect their own little corner of the world. Do they think Kunlun can stand aside and escape the calamity if a major problem arises in the cultivation world? If the Blood Demon is born, I think the first place it will target is Kunlun, right?" Abbot Dandong scolded mercilessly.
"Alas, only legendary Earth Immortals and True Immortals can deal with this demon. Why don't we go to the Xuan Yin Cave and check on Zhang Tianyi's condition? We can then ask Senior Hua Mandie for help. Perhaps Senior Hua Mandie is safe and sound in the Xuan Yin Cave and will come out of the cave to help us eliminate the Blood Demon if she hears our prayers?" Master Xuan Yang said with a smile.
Xu Kong frowned slightly, stroked his long white beard, and said, "For now, this isn't a bad idea. What do you think, monk?"
"I'm no match for the Blood Demon. I'm just a monk in the late stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation. I haven't even mastered the Vajra Body, so I can't achieve the Earth Immortal status. What good can I do? This is all I can do for now." The monk Dandong said, feeling very frustrated and annoyed. It's conceivable that if his strength had reached the level of an Earth Immortal or higher, he would have already taken on the Blood Demon, this thousand-year-old demon, all by himself.
"Alright. Let's go!" The three shouted and simultaneously transformed into three streaks of light, shooting away.
Li Yang fled in the direction of Jiangdong City. Jiangbei City, Jiangnan City, and Jiangdong City are all neighboring cities, and Xishan Mountain is a large mountain that spans both Jiangbei City and Jiangdong City. When Li Yang fled, he crossed Xishan Mountain and rushed into the territory of Jiangdong City. He actually returned to his hometown.
When he appeared at Cao Xin's apartment, covered in wounds and pale-faced, Cao Xin wasn't there. After his escape, it was already completely light; Cao Xin must have gone to class. He sneaked into the bedroom, and without even taking a shower, squatted down, took out a demon core, and swallowed it. Then, he channeled his remaining magic power to melt and absorb the demon core. Instantly, powerful streams of demonic energy erupted from the demon core. Although not as potent as when refined into a special elixir to enhance magic power, this powerful demon core still produced a tremendous and astonishing effect from a single pill.
Li Yang's damaged meridians and body were not only quickly repaired, but his depleted mana was also restored to about 70-80% – this was the demon core of the Wolf King Tak. Li Yang quickly absorbed it. He immediately felt refreshed, light as a feather, and incredibly comfortable.
He gave a faint smile, stopped his gesture, and opened his eyes. He looked up and met a pair of beautiful eyes that could express both anger and joy. Who else could it be but his most trusted and beloved sister, Cao Xin? Otherwise, why would he have gone straight to Cao Xin's apartment despite his serious injuries?
"When did you get back?" Li Yang opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace. Her body, as ripe as a peach and exuding an alluring fragrance, had a graceful curve that was the ultimate in human beauty. Snuggling in his arms would be enough to turn any man into a werewolf and go berserk.
Li Yang was a normal man, and having not eaten meat in a long time, he reacted violently to her sudden stimulation. Cao Xin's face flushed. Although her relationship with Li Yang had long since crossed all boundaries and they had become the most intimate lovers, she still couldn't help but feel shy in the face of Li Yang's intense reaction. Nestled in Li Yang's arms, her eyes were alluring, her expression shy, and she said softly, "You've been sitting for seven days, don't you feel anything at all?"
"What?" Li Yang exclaimed, almost jumping up. Damn, seven days? It feels like just yesterday, how could seven days have passed so quickly?
"Don't you know? When I returned to my apartment this afternoon after my classes ended and found you suddenly here, I couldn't believe my eyes. I almost cried out, but didn't I also receive the cultivation technique you gave me? I was cultivating too. Seeing you so conscious, a thought flashed through my mind, and I knew you were probably injured and recovering your energy. So I held back and didn't make a sound. Then I took leave from school and stayed here to protect you, not letting anyone disturb you. You really are so careless. The worst thing during cultivation is being disturbed, as that's the easiest way to go into qi deviation. This is what you told us, requiring us to cultivate together, with one person cultivating while the other protects. But what about you? How could you be so careless? What if something happened to you? How could I live with myself?" Cao Xin's eyes reddened as she spoke, her pitiful and shy appearance making Li Yang instantly swoon, wishing he could crush her and swallow her whole.
He lowered his head and licked away the tears on her face, letting them slide down her cheeks, from the corners of her eyes to her nose, cheeks, and lips. Cao Xin let out a soft moan and was immediately aroused. She hugged Li Yang's head tightly with both arms, opened her mouth, and stuck out her tongue to kiss him passionately. Her fingers gripped Li Yang's hair, sometimes lightly and sometimes heavily.
Chapter 907: Rain After a Long Drought
As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and the two had been separated for quite some time, at least a month. During that time, although Li Yang and Tao Ye had engaged in some intimate and intimate activities, that was only for the latter half of the month, wasn't it? And because they were busy dealing with those idiots like Chicken Head and Long Snake, they had relatively few opportunities to do *that*. Li Yang was practically starving, his stomach churning with cravings. The moment he opened his eyes, he was thrown into Cao Xin's arms, a ripe peach dripping with sweetness, and they exchanged passionate kisses, already arousing his little monk to the point of throbbing and his blood boiling.
Having just digested the demon core of the Wolf King Tucker, his strength was not only fully restored, but his spirit was also extremely refreshed. He vaguely felt that his strength was even stronger than before, and he felt indescribably comfortable. Damn, it seems that absorbing demon cores is a shortcut to improving strength in the future. Sorry, I'm sorry to all the demons, I've confiscated all your demon cores.
While he was thinking those strange thoughts, Cao Xin pounced on him with her hot, plump lips and his head went blank. He was completely disoriented and didn't know anything. All he knew was that he was hard where he should be, pinched where he should be, and touched where he should be. He was a complete mess, but he was still very enthusiastic and vigorous. Cao Xin's exquisitely voluptuous, S-shaped body, which made men drool wherever they went, stretched out in Li Yang's arms. It was like a foot of the finest silk, white and tender, as delicate as a peeled Jiangnan glutinous rice dumpling, not only sticky and dripping with rice oil, but also adorned with two bright red and tempting dates. Just looking at her made Li Yang's mouth water, and he took a bite. Instantly, his mouth was filled with sweet fragrance, soft and sticky, and a little bit sticky on his teeth. His heart was so excited that it almost jumped out of his chest. He wanted to get to know her more deeply. Their white bodies intertwined, and their expensive clothes, which were in the way, flew up and fluttered in the air like butterflies, exuding a strange fragrance.
A low, monosyllable chant suddenly rang out in the room. The delicate female voice was so crisp and tender that it almost pierced one's nerves, making any man's nerves tremble and involuntarily shudder, surrendering without a fight, spitting out a bunch of soy milk and collapsing to catch his breath.
Fortunately, Li Yang, a seasoned veteran, was no novice. Although he hadn't cleaned his spear and sword for several days, the precious weapon showed no signs of rust or wear, proving itself to be a divine weapon, invincible in every way. The crackling sounds of flesh colliding were like the most melodious music.
"Good sister, I've missed you so much! I dream about you bouncing on top of me. Come on top, I'm watching you." Li Yang, panting, flipped Cao Xin onto him, creating a headstand. A wave of light rippled before his eyes. Cao Xin's flushed, shy, and intoxicated expression was like the most potent aphrodisiac, stimulating Li Yang to become even more vigorous. His already large penis was now as if injected with a growth hormone, so much so that Cao Xin let out a soft moan and almost collapsed onto Li Yang, unable to move an inch, crying out that she couldn't take it anymore.
Li Yang also felt a jolt throughout his body. The tight, moist heat, with its alluring folds, intensified the sensation on the head of the turtle, stimulating Li Yang so much that he shuddered. As he shuddered, Cao Xin followed suit, her body writhing like a caterpillar. Her legs stretched straight like iron bars, her toes curling and clenching rapidly. Her face was a mixture of pain and pleasure, her breath coming in soft gasps, her nostrils flaring as she exhaled fragrant, hot breath. Suddenly, she pounced on Li Yang, who trembled under her weight and, shuddering, groaned as he paid his dues.
Long-distance lovers, upon suddenly meeting again, will find their pent-up longing igniting a fierce flame. Breaths will quicken, eyes will burn with intense passion, and even a piece of paper could set them ablaze. They'll recklessly seek out secluded rooms or even high-risk locations to make love. The fire burns so intensely that neither man nor woman can maintain restraint for a moment. Besides, they already know the depth and extent of their relationship; why hide it? What man doesn't want his woman to be a demure lady in public and a wanton woman in bed? Imagine her, initially aloof and untouchable, suddenly transforming into a thirsty, amorous woman. If you were a man, could you resist that? So Li Yang couldn't hold on any longer. He was like a parched land receiving rain. The two of them reached the other side of happiness almost without any twitching. Their bodies were flushed and covered in sweat. Ignoring the oil and sweat on their bodies, they lay together in an embrace on the soft and warm carpeted floor, too lazy to get up.
"Oh, that feels so good, my dear sister, you're making me more and more fascinated~" Li Yang's hands moved restlessly over Cao Xin's body, like pushing against a steamed bun. Cao Xin felt a surge of pleasure and happiness from his soothing actions afterward. Hearing his contented words, she felt as sweet as if she were drinking honey. What woman wouldn't feel secretly pleased and happy to hear such words from her man?
