The four juniors brought the six dark yaks back to Yuan Yang Palace to report back. Shi Feiyang instructed them to take the yaks to the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain for nurturing, as they would be of great use in the future.
This time, Chi You collected a vast number of demon beasts in the North Sea, many of which are primordial species.
These creatures are either gigantic in size or possess divine skills, positioning themselves at the top of the food chain.
If it were to reach the Dharma Decline Era, with the Spiritual Energy gradually depleting, their divine skills would slowly vanish, and the food on Earth would greatly diminish. By then, creatures like elephants and blue whales would be the largest existences remaining.
It is a part of the Heavenly Number's operation, mandating Chi You to gather them all together.
Chi You truly exhausted the primordial power, from the East Sea, West Sea, North Sea, to the sea trenches, behind the Yin Mountain, and outlying corners. He procured all the exotic demon beasts he could find and sent them to Shi Feiyang.
Shi Feiyang himself kept a pair of rocs and left the rest for the other immortals to collect and keep as pets or mounts, which were excellent choices. The rest were handed over to the four juniors, who would take the Three Talents Clearing Circle to capture them all, intending to take them to the Antarctica and raise them at the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain in the future.
Most of the black tide from the sky has already been collected by him. Mr. Zhong and others began to ease off, heading to the Great Wall to assist in defense while collecting some pets in passing.
Ling Hun collected a pair of jade-faced apes to keep as pets. He particularly liked monkeys, as detailed in the original text where he was good friends with the Ape Elder.
Cui Wugu collected a flood dragon, coiling it around her dragon head cane.
Yu Wa collected a floral feather bird, using it as a mount.
Yu Xiao collected a flock of polar ice swallows, pure white in color, flying incredibly fast like lightning.
...
Jiang Xuejun advanced from the western road into Shanxi, leading the Zhu Rong giants to attack Datong.
Originally, the Western Army was led by the two juniors from Pingliang, Gansu, at Shuangfeng Mountain, Xing Tianxiang and Xing Tianhe. Ling Hun and Cui Wugu were posted there for defense.
Over the years, Xing Tianxiang and Xing Tianhe had undergone transformation by the Chiyou Technique, growing to a height of over ten feet, akin to giants, and surrounded by dark clouds with flashes of lightning and thunder inside.
Xing Tianxiang, wielding two giant axes, commanded the otherwise similar-looking Zhu generals to attack the city of Datong.
The giant axes in his hands were forged from the solid ice of the North Sea, spinning at high speed when released. The centers were crystal white, while the outer rings were a dense black blood fiend, forming two axe wheels with a diameter of over a hundred zhang.
Merely throwing these two gigantic axes could slice Datong into three segments!
Luckily, Cui Wugu deployed the Five Mountains Cloud Bag, creating two groups of five-colored clouds, holding up the two axe wheels in the air.
Xing Tianxiang yelled curses loudly, his voice shaking the heavens and echoing through the mountains. He made a hand gesture to draw lightning from the dark clouds surrounding him, striking it toward Cui Wugu. Cui Wugu blocked it with the Cloud Bag and retaliated with the Vajra Divine Fire Arrow.
On the other side, Xing Tianhe employed the Great and Small Twelve Heavenly Forbidden Techniques, using cunning methods, while Ling Hun countered them by matching moves with spells, breaking spells with spells.
Initially, the couple Ling Hun had the capability to defeat the Xing brothers but required some time. It was at this moment that Jiang Xuejun made an entry, and her first move was a barrage of thunderbolts.
She released two successive Soundless Divine Thunders, blasting two large holes into Cui Wugu's Five Mountains Cloud Bag.
Cui Wugu's Cloud Bag was originally the sect's treasured artifact. Over the years, she also infused it with a large amount of Five Elements Essence Qi, making it exceptionally formidable, capable of offense and defense, enveloping the entire Datong City for protection, and capturing individuals. Given sufficient time, she could forcibly capture Xing Tianxiang's flying axes.
However, this power couldn't withstand the bombardment of the Soundless Divine Thunder.
The Cloud Bag was blasted with two large holes, and before it could recover, those axes spun down. Cui Wugu hastily fired six Vajra Divine Fire Arrows, blasting into the axe heads, igniting large fiery explosions. As she was about to cast another spell, she suddenly saw Jiang Xuejun summon the Heavenly Dragon Scissors, with two golden dragons rising into the air, head to head, tail to tail, diving down faster than lightning.
Seeing the viciousness, Cui Wugu dared not resist and quickly turned into a white light to fly away.
On the other side, Ling Hun was also caught off guard by Jiang Xuejun's barrage of Mystic Yin Divine Thunder and Cold Flame Cold Light. Particularly when the Divine Maiden Shuttle, recognized as Yan Yingmu's most powerful mountain treasure, appeared, he realized he could not withstand it and had to fly away as well.
The couple reunited at the gate tower of Datong City, looking at Jiang Xuejun, drenched in cold sweat.
They were about to question Jiang Xuejun, hoping she might reconsider her actions and return to the right path in time. But Jiang Xuejun raised her hands, unleashing a barrage of Thunder Pearls. At the same time, Xing Tianxiang unleashed twin axes, and Xing Tianhe released a pair of Flying Hooks. The brothers even released thunder and fire, seemingly intent on blasting the entire city of Datong to pieces!
Ling Hun and Cui Wugu realized that even with their combined efforts as a couple, they could not defeat the demonized Jiang Xuejun. Seeing that the entire populace of Datong was about to be annihilated, they felt helpless. They could only release their Flying Sword Magical Treasures and try to defend themselves, meanwhile urgently sending messages to Shi Feiyang for assistance.
Just then, from the peaks on either side, someone appeared. On one side stood a tall hunchbacked man, who raised his hand and launched ten beams of colorful Light Energy. It was none other than the True Master Divine Camel Yi Xiu.
On the eastern peak stood a snow-white-faced woman clad in black; she unleashed several beams of Green Light, none other than Yi Xiu's wife, Han Fairy.
Yi Xiu used the Five Elements Essence Qi, engulfed Xing Tianxiang's twin axes, forcibly pulling them into the sky.
On the other side, Han Fairy released thirteen Green Diagonal Hooks, among which was hidden one Cold Jade Blade.
Han Fairy's father, the Great Abyss True Master Han Xiao, was a junior disciple of the Great Wilderness Elders and was also an exceptionally formidable Independent Immortal in his time. To evade the Heavenly Tribulation, he preemptively borrowed the Golden Saber Soldier Resolution from Daoist Hesha.
Years ago, Han Xiao obtained the Immortal Mansion left behind by Ancient Immortals at the bottom of Min Mountain's White Rhinoceros Pond, and he collected numerous Flying Sword Magical Treasures, most of which he left to his daughter. The Green Diagonal Hook was an Ancient Treasure once used by Ancient Immortals, and the Cold Jade Blade was Yi Xiu's betrothal gift when he married Han Fairy.
Han Fairy had been friends with the pair from Shuangfeng Mountain, but she did not expect them to become treacherous, murder their mentors, harm their peers, and conspire with Han Fairy's siblings-in-law to plot against the Immortal Mansion beneath the White Rhinoceros Pond, causing great distress to Han Fairy.
Han Fairy held deep hatred for the two, but they used extremely cunning methods to feign death and avoid disaster. No matter how she calculated, they were deemed dead, but later she learned they appeared in the North Sea, prompting her desire to exact vengeance. Yi Xiu tried to divine through calculations, but the results were unpreventable. Yet as his wife desired revenge, he was obligated to accompany her.
Situ Ping stepped forward to advise his master and mistress, "The two culprits from Shuangfeng Mountain have already pledged allegiance to Chi You, their bodies transformed by Chi You's Demon Blood. Their Primordial Spirit has been strengthened by the Great and Small Twelve Heavenly Methods, so their strength is vastly different now. Although not yet your match, Chi You is there, along with numerous evil demons that spout deviances. Even if they slip through your hands again, you two possess great Mana,
but their time is not yet up, making revenge difficult. I received messages via Shi True Master's Flying Talisman, stating Chi You is set to invade the Central Plains soon, igniting a major battle. One route of entry for the enemy's forces will be close to Wutai Mountain. In both public and private capacities, our Wutai Sect must fully assist. It shall indeed be the period when those two evildoers meet their fate, and then you can unfurl your divine might and exterminate evil in one fell swoop, wouldn't that be fitting?"
Han Fairy calculated that directly confronting them wouldn't eliminate them, and a miscalculation might inflict injury from a swarm of evil. Even escaping unscathed would be disgraceful, so she forcibly endured until today.
They feared the Xing siblings might flee, quietly circled to the two mountain sides, and laid out their preparations before striking unexpectedly.
The Xing siblings felt a visceral fear that sparked the urge to escape upon seeing the couple.
The trauma from being assailed by them in the past had left a psychological shadow.
In an instant, they realized they were not the same as before!
Today, utilizing the momentum of a large army, they aimed to get rid of the couple, ensuring peaceful sleep henceforth.
Xing Tianhe shouted, cursing Han Fairy, "Wretched woman, dare to come die!" Both hands opened wide, unleashing the Great and Small Twelve Heavens Great Method.
Han Fairy used Green Diagonal Hooks to seize his hooks. A total of fifteen hooks intertwined and soared skyward, while the Cold Jade Blade shot out directly. Her hatred for the Xing siblings was intense; she brought out twenty-eight magical treasures, all were Ancient Treasures, casting out sixteen at once!
Seeing reinforcements arrive, Ling Hun and his wife were overjoyed, quickly joining forces to counterattack, battling Jiang Xuejun together.
Jiang Xuejun was enveloped in black evil, her eyes filled with vicious ferocity. Her posture was akin to wanting to tear Ling Hun and his wife apart!
Ling Hun's couple had no past enmity with her and continuously tried to persuade her to see reason. Ling Hun even mentioned Zhu Youmu, unaware that Zhu Youmu and Jiang Xuejun had become adversaries in the North Sea. Mentioning this further enraged Jiang Xuejun, causing her to fight more fiercely, continually pushing them back. Their magical treasures were repeatedly destroyed, forcing Ling Hun to continue seeking help from Shi Feiyang.
Shi Feiyang was engaged in a duel with Chi You from afar, and also busy capturing the black tides in the sky, leaving him unable to directly intervene. Fortunately, Mr. Zhong had finished his task, so Shi Feiyang requested Mr. Zhong to assist.
Mr. Zhong and Heavenly Pond Master flew in first, followed closely by experts from the Kunlun Sect like Xiang Shan, Cui Black Lady, Wei Shaoshao, encircling Jiang Xuejun at the center.
Despite being outnumbered, Jiang Xuejun remained fearless. Her ten fingers opened, Thunder Pearls flew wildly, black threads waved, and hundreds of Mystic Yin Demon-Gathering Banners rotated around her body, continuously coalescing and dispersing. Evil spirits and demons lunged at her enemies incessantly. Even the divine treasures like Divine Maiden Shuttle and Heavenly Dragon Scissors were summoned, which Ling Hun and his allies couldn't withstand. Only Mr. Zhong could fend them off with the Kunlun Sect's mountain treasure.
The battle went on for a while longer, and Jiang Xuejun grew braver, ultimately splitting into the Three Corpses Primordial Spirit.
Originally, it was unheard of for genuine Daoist practitioners to cultivate this spirit; she had merged with the Avatar of the Heavenly Lust Sect Leader to practice it. Her method was unconventional, diverging from traditional practices to cultivate the Three Corpses Primordial Spirit. Instead, she unearthed three ancient bodies from beneath the ice of the North Pole—an elderly man, an elderly woman, and a young girl. These had been sealed in ice, almost alive, for ten thousand years since the era of the Wa Emperor.
Chi You used his blood to melt the three corpses, giving them to Jiang Xuejun to divide her Primordial Spirit, integrate with them, and forge the Mystic Yin Three Corpses Divine Demon!
