Chapter 233 The Lifeline of the Shang Dynasty (Part 2)

Ge Xiaoyao and his companions' Xuan Tian Shuttle traversed the high mountains and deep valleys of the 600-mile-long Qilian Mountains, swaying and meandering along the way. Although the valleys were treacherous, the scenery was beautiful. With the lively and mischievous Yin San among them, and Ge Xiaoyao occasionally leading the way with amusement, the group wasn't bored. After passing through a naturally formed dark valley, the view suddenly opened up before them, revealing stunningly beautiful green mountains and clear waters that truly inspired awe.

"These are mountains on the same planet, yet the difference is so vast," Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. Looking back, he could still see the desolate mountains and gloomy ancient forests, but ahead lay a verdant expanse bathed in bright sunlight, like a landscape painting by a master artist.

"Brother Ge, this must be Tianmu Mountain!" Duo Mei's face lit up with joy; it was clear that beautiful mountains and clear waters could indeed lift one's spirits. Not only her, but Ling Lei and Yu Lu were also radiant, even more charming. The beauty of the mountains and rivers was indeed undeniable. If it weren't for Ge Xiaoyao's worries about not yet rescuing Chu Yu, wouldn't it be incredibly delightful to stroll among the beautiful mountains and rivers with these beauties? The first "those who are these people" refers to Ge Xiaoyao, and the second "those who are these people" is, of course, Yin San.

Ge Xiaoyao nodded, "It should be... Little San, check the Mountain and River Map!"

Yin San, excited, dared not delay. He immediately took out the huge Mountain and River Map, laid it flat on the chair, and began searching carefully. He looked at the map

and the scenery, comparing the two before saying, "Boss, that's it! This is Tianmu Mountain!" "Great!" Ge Xiaoyao exclaimed excitedly, "Let's go for a tour of Tianmu Mountain! The scenery here is beautiful, and playing hide-and-seek with those Jie Sect demons will be fun!" He then controlled the Xuan Tian Shuttle and flew directly into the mountain.

They wandered aimlessly, with Tianmu Mountain as their first destination. Jiang Ziya's plan, and Ge Xiaoyao's own idea, was to lure all the Jie Sect demons to Tianmu Mountain, then lead them on a few rounds, killing as many as possible, and if not, taking them on a journey to the ends of the earth. After all, by the time they returned, the Shang Dynasty's capital, Chaoge, would likely have already fallen to Jiang Ziya.

As for the Shang Dynasty's national vein, it was merely a legend, an excuse for Jiang Ziya to send Ge Xiaoyao to Tianmu Mountain. If he could attract the Jie Sect to send 70,000 experts in pursuit, Ge Xiaoyao would have completed his mission, and the existence of the Shang Dynasty's national vein would be irrelevant.

Ge Xiaoyao understood all this, but having studied his ancestral books since childhood and possessing some knowledge of feng shui, he was now in Tianmu Mountain with nothing better to do and was inclined to actually search for the Shang Dynasty's national vein.

However, Tianmu Mountain is extremely vast, probably exceeding three hundred li in circumference. Moreover, the mountain is densely forested with deep valleys, and the high mountains further obstruct

the view, making the Xuan Tian Shuttle's journey very slow. After a whole day, Ge Xiaoyao hadn't even seen a decent feng shui treasure land, let alone the capital of the Shang Dynasty. You might think that Tianmu Mountain, with its towering peaks, layered cliffs, cascading waterfalls, and clear streams, should at least have some excellent feng shui locations, even if not some kind of blessed land. So why hadn't Ge Xiaoyao found a single feng shui treasure land?

"Could it be that my cultivation is too low to recognize a feng shui treasure land?" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, but then he smiled. He wasn't lacking in cultivation; he simply had none.

Actually, this wasn't Ge Xiaoyao's fault, because feng shui theory originated from the Book of Changes, specifically the divination techniques of Ji Chang, the Marquis of the West. During the Shang Dynasty, the Marquis of the West's divination techniques hadn't yet spread, so the theory of feng shui was naturally several hundred years later.

However, this is just one interpretation. The Book of Changes (I Ching) encompasses the principles of mutual generation and restraint of all things, naturally including the elements of heaven, earth, and water. Even without the formal concept of feng shui, auspicious feng shui locations certainly exist.

Yet, Ge Xiaoyao failed to find one. Why? The reason lies in a separate story. This story isn't the main focus of this book, but

we'll discuss it as a separate section. As mentioned earlier, Ge Xiaoyao released the hundred dragon immortals, who hid at the bottom of the Dragon Immortal Pool atop Mount Kunlun, awaiting an opportunity to re-emerge and restore the dragon immortal clan's power. This wait lasted for hundreds of years. By then, the Shang Dynasty had fallen, and the Zhou Dynasty had weakened. During this time of great chaos in the Three Realms, the dragon immortals rose up, each transforming into human form, vying for supremacy with numerous human heroes and demonic tyrants. This led to a period of fierce competition and the rise of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. During this time, many dragon immortals perished, prematurely departing this world, their lives filled with regret and defeat. However, later, when Ying Zheng of the Dragon Immortal Clan unified the world and established the Qin Dynasty, he officially proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven. Using his profound magic and the hands of countless slaves, he built the Great Wall and constructed imperial mausoleums, ostensibly to defend against foreign invasions and provide his own resting place, but in reality, to alter the natural order of the world and unify it with the dragon. His burning of books and burying of scholars alive was also to conceal his ambition to bring the world under the rule of the Dragon Immortal Clan.

In any case, Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, truly won. The dragon had officially become the supreme symbol of the world, a spiritual symbol passed down through millennia in the hearts of all people. The phrase "sons and grandsons of the dragon, descendants of the dragon" originates from this. In Feng Shui, dragon veins are considered the best auspicious locations.

However, during the Shang Dynasty in which Ge Xiaoyao lived, before Qin Shi Huang's transformation of the world's landscape and Feng Shui, how could there be dragon veins?

Ge Xiaoyao naturally didn't know these things, so he couldn't find a place he considered an auspicious Feng Shui location.

Enough of the digressions. Although Ge Xiaoyao and his companions hadn't found the Shang Dynasty's capital, they had discovered several groups of lesser demons from the Jie Sect, some following them, others encountered by chance. However, these demons all fled at the sight of the Xuan Tian Shuttle, seemingly monitoring their movements.

"Little San, what are those demons up to? They're all hiding and sneaking around!" Ge Xiaoyao asked Yin San with a smile. At this time, after a day's journey, Duo Mei, Ling Lei, and Yu Lu, being women and physically weaker, had fallen into a deep sleep. Ge Xiaoyao and Yin San sat by the window, drinking wine and chatting softly.

The spirit demon Yin San chuckled, "These little demons must want to eat us and then go to the Tongtian Sect Master to claim credit and rewards, but they're afraid we'll eat them back, so they're hesitant and indecisive. They're just following along, waiting for a powerful figure to arrive before making their move." He paused, then added, "Boss, why don't we go out and mess with them a bit, let them see how powerful we are!"

"No... I don't have that kind of leisure!" Ge Xiaoyao laughed. At that moment, his gaze swept over and he saw a little demon sneaking around in the bushes not far away, glancing furtively at the mountains to the east, as if worried about something. When it realized Ge Xiaoyao had noticed it, it disappeared. Ge Xiaoyao picked up his wine cup and sipped the wine in it. It was aged fine grain wine, mellow and sweet, with a faint fragrance. “Little San, what you said makes sense, but I don’t see it that way! Judging from the eyes of these little demons, I feel more like these Jie Sect demons are up to something strange in these mountains, trying to avoid being discovered. That’s why they’re sending little demons to appear from time to time and disrupt our movements!”

“Oh… I didn’t see that!” Yin San said. “Boss, how did you figure that out?”

Ge Xiaoyao smiled and looked around. By this time, it was already dark, and the mountains were quiet and serene. “Little San, didn’t you notice that as soon as we head east, these little demons appear and lead us west?”

“Ah?” Yin San sighed, as if remembering something, and nodded, “Yes, that’s it. We’ve encountered this situation more than once or twice!”

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, “Want to see what kind of strange things they’re up to?”

Yin San nodded and said, “Okay!” Seeing Ge Xiaoyao’s eyes, he quickly lowered his voice, “Boss, you want to…?”

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp!

Yin San understood, but then frowned, pointing at the three sleeping women, Duo Mei and the others, and whispered, "But

what about my sister-in-law and the others?" Ge Xiaoyao whispered, "It's alright. These little demons wouldn't dare to attack the Xuan Tian Shuttle. Besides, the Xuan Tian Shuttle is incredibly sturdy. Even if they attack, it won't be a problem. Moreover, your sister-in-law's cultivation is no less than mine. With her here, we can rest assured!"

"But... there are so many little demons here. How are we going to sneak out?" Yin San asked with some worry.

"Damn! You're getting dumber as you get older!" Ge Xiaoyao chuckled and scolded in a low voice. "Did you stay in Kunlun Mountain for two years and still not learn the invisibility technique?"

Yin San was originally a spirit ghost, appearing and disappearing without a trace. However, after entering Kunlun Mountain and cultivating his true form, he did learn the invisibility technique, since the ability to pass through walls was the most basic skill.

Yin San nodded, chuckled, scratched his head, and said, "Boss, if you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot!"

"Hmm! Okay... I'll leave a letter for them!" Ge Xiaoyao thought for a moment and then used wine as ink and the table as paper to write down his and Yin San's whereabouts. Then, he stroked his hand, and a faint light spread out, covering the wine vapor so it could not evaporate. Only then did he say, "Alright... let's go!"

Yin San nodded hurriedly, his expression extremely excited.

Ge Xiaoyao surveyed the surroundings again, confirming there were no lesser demons watching, before manipulating the Xuan Tian Shuttle to open the hatch.

The two of them stealthily jumped out, and the hatch automatically closed. After quickly getting a feel for the direction, they headed east. Combining their invisibility and wall-penetrating abilities, they moved unimpeded through wood and stone, making no sound and leaving no trace. Night had fallen, the mountains were moonless, and utter darkness reigned. Fortunately, both Ge Xiaoyao and Yin San were cultivators, their eyesight hundreds of times better than ordinary people, allowing them to recognize objects even in the darkness.

They passed three groups of probing lesser demons, and Yin San was finally convinced of Ge Xiaoyao's assessment. It seemed these demons were indeed carrying out some secret activity in the eastern mountains.

"Boss, let's capture a prisoner!" Yin San said to Ge Xiaoyao using telepathy. He had learned the word "torture" when he followed Ge Xiaoyao on his expedition to the Eastern Yi; it meant capturing a prisoner. Where Ge Xiaoyao had learned the word was unknown.

Ge Xiaoyao said, "Alright! But we need to find someone clever!"

The two of them, invisible and passing through walls, effortlessly dragged a little demon by the throat into a dense forest. The little demon had no idea what was happening; he had simply been captured inexplicably. He thought he had encountered some kind of deity and kept begging for mercy.

"What happened in the eastern valley?" Yin San asked coldly.

The little demon trembled, "Grandpa Deity, I don't know!"

"Don't know?" Yin San's true energy had already pierced the back of his head. The little demon felt a cold wind whistling through his acupoint. If the wind had been any stronger, he probably would have lost a hundred years of cultivation and would have been forced to revert to his original form as a small reptile.

"Grandpa Deity, I really don't know... Ah... But I secretly overheard the Three Sages of Qilian passing by here talking about the Shang Dynasty's national lineage... Grandpa Deity, I really don't know anything!" The little demon was about to cry.

"The Shang Dynasty's national lineage?" Ge Xiaoyao and Yin San were both shocked. They pressed the little demon further, but he couldn't say anything more. Seeing this, Ge Xiaoyao stopped arguing and immediately used a surge of dragon immortal power to smear across the little demon's throat.

The little demon felt a chill in its throat and then knew nothing more.

Ge Xiaoyao glanced at the fallen little demon and said to Yin San, "Let's go, let's go take a look!"

In a moment, the two had already passed through the forest and headed east into the mountains. In the dense forest, the little demon lying on the ground stretched its legs and woke up. Just as it was about to shout, it felt as if something was stuck in its throat, and it couldn't make a sound...

Chapter 234 The Lifeline of the Shang Dynasty (Part 2)

The dark night forest was eerily silent, with only the occasional roar of some unknown animal that sent chills down one

's spine. Ge Xiaoyao and Yin San used their invisibility and wall-penetrating techniques, moving like two ghosts through the dense forest. They moved extremely fast, and in less than half an hour, they crossed mountains and ridges to reach the eastern valley. Only when they found that there were more and more patrolling little demons did they slow down, hoping to glean more information from the bored little demons.

However, to their surprise, these lesser demons were all like mute beings, not uttering a single word, not even a cough. But Ge Xiaoyao intuitively sensed that the demonic aura ahead was growing stronger, indicating that some powerful entity was lurking there.

Sure enough, after walking a short distance, they found that the patrolling lesser demons had almost disappeared, but numerous lesser demons were now moving back and forth, each carrying wooden poles or lifting stones, their steps hurried and their expressions cautious.

"Damn! Could they be doing some kind of construction project?" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, using telepathy to call out to Yin San: "Xiao San, be careful, don't reveal your presence, there might be a powerful demon ahead!"

"Understood, boss!" Yin San's voice rang in Ge Xiaoyao's ears, as he approached, hugging the mountain wall beside him.

The two took a few more steps forward when they suddenly heard a series of booming sounds of water, mixed with seemingly chaotic shouts, "Hurry up... there... block that up!"

"What are these guys doing in this place in the middle of the night!" Ge Xiaoyao grew increasingly suspicious. "What the hell does this have to do with the Shang Dynasty's national veins!"

Ge Xiaoyao looked around at the surrounding mountains, a continuous stretch, but found nothing unusual. "Could this be the Shang Dynasty's national veins? Nothing special about it!"

Ge Xiaoyao naturally didn't know what national veins looked like, so he didn't pay any attention to the continuous mountain ranges.

The further they went, the louder the water became, and the clearer the shouts became.

"Boss, it's those three old monsters from Qilian Mountain!" Yin San suddenly said.

Ge Xiaoyao nodded and said, "I can hear it. It sounds like that Beast Demon Lord is also there!"

Yin San said, "Boss, my cultivation is too low. I'm afraid my invisibility technique won't fool the Beast Demon Lord and those three old monsters!"

Actually, this was exactly what Ge Xiaoyao was worried about. If they discovered Yin San's whereabouts, his trip would be in vain. He thought for a moment and said, "Xiao San, you wait here for someone. If anything happens, you can provide backup. Remember, if I don't come back to find you before dawn, immediately return to the Xuan Tian Shuttle and have Duo Mei contact me using the sound transmission technique!"

Yin San pondered for a moment, "Okay, Boss! Be careful!"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Hmm... I don't think those monsters can find me yet. Even if they do, they can't do anything to me!" After saying that, he left Yin San behind and crept forward alone.

Ge Xiaoyao took a few steps forward and found that he had arrived at the mouth of a valley. From the outside, the valley was shaped like a 'V', which was quite strange. The sound of water was still rumbling incessantly.

"Could the lifeline of the Shang Dynasty really be in this Tianmu Mountain? Hehe, I can use the Water Demon Beast to split the mountain and shatter the rocks, turning this lifeline of the Shang Dynasty into a severed one. Then the Shang Dynasty will be close to its demise!" Ge Xiaoyao chuckled to himself as he crossed the valley and headed deeper inside.

In the distance, he saw a precipice where water was splashing everywhere. Two rows of small demons were filling the area below the precipice with wood and stones. The current within the precipice was turbulent, occasionally sending up waves several meters high. On the opposite side of the precipice was a boulder shaped like a human head, clearly broken off from the cliff.

However, the head-shaped boulder was not swept away by the raging current. Instead, it hung precariously on the cliff. Upon closer inspection, Ge Xiaoyao realized that the boulder was firmly covered by a black silk net, one end of which was hanging from the precipice.

"Damn! Isn't that the Demon Silk Net?" Ge Xiaoyao was secretly alarmed. He looked up at the group of demons and, sure enough, found the three demons, Qi Lian and the other two, along with the Beast Demon Lord, who had already lost an eye. The Beast Demon

Lord was currently furious, directing a group of lesser demons to desperately throw wood and stones down the cliff, trying to stop the gushing water.

"Damn it, hurry up!" the Beast Demon Lord shouted, startling a lesser demon who was about to throw a large rock into the water. He lost his footing and fell off the cliff with the rock in his arms. After a scream, he fell silent.

"What are you looking at! Hurry up... or I'll throw you down too!" the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts roared, his single eye unblinking as he continued to command his lesser demons to fill the gap in the precipice.

At this moment, Qilian Poison Saint Ouyang Sen approached with a fawning expression, smiling, "Demon Lord, the head of the nation's vital energy is already trapped in the Demon Silk Net and cannot escape. There's no need to rush the matter of cutting off the water flow. I think you should rest!"

"Hmph!" the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts snorted coldly, "The Tongtian Sect Master specifically ordered me to save the Shang Dynasty's vital energy. If there's even the slightest mishap, we're all probably doomed!"

"It's like finding a needle in a haystack!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself with delight. "So this is the lifeline of the Shang Dynasty!" However, after looking at the cliff and the broken, head-shaped boulder, he couldn't help but frown. "I thought the Shang Dynasty was weak and its people poor. It turns out this lifeline isn't much better. With such a small area, how long could it last? No wonder it's already in disarray and chaos."

Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, but he quietly took a few steps forward. His cultivation was no less than that of the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, so the group of demons didn't notice his presence at all and continued to live on.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts sighed deeply and sat down on a flat boulder on the precipice, cursing, "Damn it... I don't know what happened to our patriarch, actually supporting this worthless Shang Dynasty. Now even the nation's lifeblood is severed, and I have to go through all this trouble to repair it!" As soon as he sat down, the little demons, who were all exhausted from their work, felt a sense of relief, and their pace of throwing stones and logs down the cliff slowed, causing the roaring water to intensify.

"You damn fools, hurry up... or I'll throw you all in here!" The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts suddenly flew into a rage, his one remaining eye wide open. "You must understand, what's being lost isn't just water, but the Shang Dynasty's national energy. If the water runs out, we're all finished!" In his desperation, he kicked the smooth boulder he had just been sitting on off the cliff. After a loud crash, the sound of the rushing water immediately subsided considerably.

"Hurry, put in more effort... just add some more and it'll be blocked... Hehe... it's still the Demon Lord's divine power, such a large rock is no problem at all!" Poison Saint Ouyang Sen's sinister eyes revealed a disgusting smile as

he hurriedly flattered him. However, his flattery this time seemed to have backfired. The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts snorted coldly and said, "A bunch of trash!" He clutched his injured eye and leaned against the stone wall, panting heavily. It turned out that his anger and exertion had aggravated the wound in the eye that Duo Mei had shot out, causing excruciating pain. He grimaced, hissing and gasping for breath, muttering curses, "That little wench, I'll strip you naked sooner or later..." His curses were indistinct, seemingly containing extremely vile and obscene language.

In his heart, Ge Xiaoyao cursed, "This lecherous wolf dares to lay a finger on my woman! I, Ge Xiaoyao, will make you taste the pain of having your tendons ripped off and your skin peeled off sooner or later..." He remained silent, secretly plotting how to disrupt the Shang Dynasty's national destiny.

"That lecherous wolf! Even after becoming a one-eyed monster, he's still so lecherous!" Poison Saint Ouyang Sen cursed inwardly. His eyes darted around, and he thought this was the perfect opportunity to flatter him. He stepped forward, approached the Beast Demon Lord, and chuckled, "Demon Lord, the breach here is almost filled. The lesser demons can fill it in. I've found two beauties in the back cave; why don't you go and rest..."

"Hmm?" The Beast Demon Lord widened one eye, giving Ouyang Sen a fierce glare. Ouyang Sen trembled, his heart pounding. "Could I have misunderstood again?" he thought.

But then the Beast Demon Lord suddenly laughed, patting Ouyang Sen on the shoulder. "Good! Good! You know how to be respectful... Come on, take me there!" He started to get up. Ouyang Sen breathed

a sigh of relief, a smile spreading across his face. He nodded and led the way.

At this moment, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts suddenly stopped, thought for a moment, and said, "Poison Saint, you don't need to take me. You stay here and keep an eye on these little demons! Don't be careless. If anything goes wrong, I'll make you shatter to pieces!"

Ouyang Sen shuddered. He knew this wolf spirit was ruthless. Although his words were not harsh, they were absolutely true. He quickly smiled and said, "Okay...okay...Demon Lord, please go ahead. The back cave is just to the left at the valley entrance!" Watching the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts walk out of the cliff and disappear into the valley, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, let out a long sigh, and glared at the little demons, cursing angrily, "Hurry up, do you all want to die?!"

"It's really heaven helping me..." Ge Xiaoyao smiled inwardly. He wasn't in a hurry to destroy this so-called Shang Dynasty's national vein. Anyway, it wouldn't be easy to fill the broken cliff. "I might as well find an opportunity to kill this lewd wolf spirit first...and eliminate a major future threat!" With that thought, Ge Xiaoyao quietly walked out of the valley.

Following the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts out of the valley, they turned left and soon came upon a huge stone cave. Two lesser demons stood guard at the entrance, bowing and scraping before the Demon Lord, saying, "Demon Lord..."

The Demon Lord responded indifferently, then walked into the cave with his hands behind his back.

Ge Xiaoyao observed that the cave was enormous, with a thick carpet of animal hides on the floor and several stone tables in the center. On these tables were stone pots, cups, and plates, filled with blood wine, raw meat, and various fruits.

"These demons, they've managed to create such a comfortable place here... much better than my Xuan Tian Shuttle!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. "However, it seems no one's here... Where is the beauty the Poison Saint mentioned?!"

Seeing that the cave was empty, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts coughed heavily, picked up a stone cup from one of the tables, drank a full cup of blood wine, swallowed a mountain fruit, and then sat down.

A series of light footsteps sounded, and two naked women emerged from the inner cave. They had snow-white skin, exquisite figures, long flowing hair, and beautiful faces—truly beauties. However, their demeanor and mannerisms were laced with a seductive, demonic air, clearly indicating they were not respectable women.

"Damn! I didn't expect this lecherous wolf to be so ruthless, able to vent his lust anywhere!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed inwardly, finding a corner to sit down and observe how the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts harassed the two demonesses. His plan was to kill the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts when he was lost in ecstasy. He knew their cultivation levels were similar, and if he rashly attacked, a prolonged battle would likely ensue, and with so many demons around, he alone would be in trouble.

The two enchantresses, having been instructed by the Poison Saint Ouyang Sen to wait for the one-eyed wolf spirit to emerge, now wore fawning smiles. One poured herself a cup of blood wine, saying, "Demon Lord, you've had a long journey... please drink a few more cups and rest..." The other simply approached the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, her face alluring yet coquettish, saying, "Demon Lord, why did you take so long... I was getting impatient!"

Chapter 235 The Crimson Lotus of the Nation (Part 1)

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, seeing the two enchantresses' lewdness, opened his eyes... With only one eye, he chuckled and said, "Alright...alright...since that's the case, hurry up and serve this Demon Lord. If you satisfy me, I will pass on a hundred years of cultivation to you..."

Upon hearing that the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts intended to pass on his cultivation, the two demonesses were overjoyed. They moved closer to him, massaging his shoulders and back, their snow-white, delicate bodies rubbing against the wolf demon's body—a truly lewd and enthusiastic scene. Even Ge Xiaoyao, watching from the side, couldn't help but feel his lust rising, and he quickly used his supreme profound skill to suppress his desires.

It should be known that most mountain demon beasts have less than a hundred years of cultivation. Cultivating their bodies is a matter of chance, practically harder than ascending to heaven. Moreover, most of them have weak magical power. They can endure waiting in the deep mountains and forests, but if they were to go to the mortal realm, not to mention encountering powerful cultivators, even ordinary mortals using exorcism techniques would endanger their lives. Therefore, a hundred years of cultivation was something they could only dream of. Both demonesses did everything in their power to please the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.

"Haha..." One demoness's eyes were glazed over, her cherry-red lips already pressed against the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' neck and ear, gently kissing and biting, her hot breath teasing him, making the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts feel itchy all over, and he couldn't help but laugh loudly.

The other demoness had already put a slender, snow-white hand under the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' clothes, gently stroking it, which made the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts laugh incessantly: "Good...good...beauty...here..." But a large hand was groping haphazardly over her snow-white and smooth body.

"Haha...two little beauties, what are your names?" The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts closed his eyes, enjoying the caresses of the two enchantresses, and asked somewhat intoxicatedly.

"Reporting to the Demon Lord, my name is Xue Hong, and her name is Lan Yan. We both grew up in Tianmu Mountain!" One of the enchantresses kissed the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' chest repeatedly, panting softly, her voice melodious and mesmerizing.

"Hehe, I didn't know what kind of enchantresses I was talking about, but they're just two wild chicken spirits!" Ge Xiaoyao had secretly used his supreme profound skill to check their true forms and couldn't help but laugh to himself.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, having apparently discovered the true nature of the two demonesses, burst into laughter. He sat up, grabbed the two pink thighs of one of the naked demonesses, and forcefully spread them apart, lewdly saying, "Alright... that was just a warm-up, now it officially begins!"

Ge Xiaoyao closed his eyes. The lewd scene he had just witnessed had already made his blood boil and his heart surge. Now, his lust was even more intense, rushing straight to his brain. He took a deep breath and thought to himself, "This Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts is truly a beast! It seems I still can't watch from here!"

At this moment, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts roared wildly, and the demoness whose pink thighs he had grabbed screamed with extreme excitement. Then, the loud cracking sounds of flesh colliding were heard, and the demoness continued to howl and groan.

"Damn! Judging by this, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts isn't going to stop for at least an hour!" Ge Xiaoyao opened his eyes, ignoring the lewd scene, but saw another woman's snow-white body already flushed, her breathing becoming increasingly heavy, rubbing against the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, seemingly burning with desire and eager to find a release.

A strange stench, a mixture of perfume and fishy odor, filled the air. Ge Xiaoyao got up and quietly went outside.

"Ah!" The mountain breeze blowing in his face made Ge Xiaoyao let out a long sigh. Even outside the cave, he could still hear the lewd cries from inside. The guards outside the cave were nowhere to be seen. It was late at night, and the mountain was eerily quiet.

"I'll go check how the cliff filling is going? And maybe tamper with it a bit, making sure the Shang Dynasty's lifeline is severed completely!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. While inside the grotto, he suddenly remembered something. If the Shang Dynasty's national lineage were truly severed, the Jie Sect might very well stop helping the Shang. Although overthrowing King Zhou would be easy then, the conflict between the Chan and Jie Sects would be difficult to resolve. Therefore, he thought it best to keep the Shang Dynasty's national lineage in a state of near-severance, as this would attract a large number of Jie Sect members to stay and maintain it, preventing them from going to aid the Shang. This would make things easier for him.

With this thought, Ge Xiaoyao turned back around the valley entrance and entered the cliff.

At this moment, the giant boulder shaped like a human head outside the cliff was still covered by the demonic silk net, unable to fall downwards. The sound of water below the cliff had diminished considerably. Poison Saint Ouyang Sen smiled broadly, directing his little demons to accelerate the filling of the cliff with large amounts of wood and stones, seemingly blocking the water flow.

"These little demons are quick enough, haha..." Ge Xiaoyao took a few steps forward, arriving at the edge of the cliff. Looking down, he saw a bottomless abyss filled with colorful boulders and logs, with water still flowing out in some places. He chuckled to himself, "However, you've wasted your time meeting me, Ge Xiaoyao, in the middle of the night!" He then unleashed both palms, striking down towards the cliff face. His dragon immortal power swirled like a dragon pillar, churning the bottom of the cliff and instantly pulverizing the wood and stones the little demons had painstakingly used to block the breach.

"Boom..." Without the obstruction of wood and stones, a massive torrent of water gushed forth from the breach, creating a deafening roar.

Hearing the sudden burst of water, Poison Saint Ouyang Sen's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed in alarm, "What's going on?" He rushed to the edge of the cliff, looked down, and nearly collapsed to the ground, letting out a long sigh, "It's over..."

The lesser demons also panicked. In the chaos, Poison Saint finally came to his senses and frantically ordered the lesser demons to speed up and block the breach. He himself also used his true power to throw large rocks into the breach.

However, with Ge Xiaoyao there, their efforts were all in vain. Ge Xiaoyao's Dragon Immortal Power was stirring fiercely below the cliff, and anything thrown in was first pulverized.

Seeing that he was losing control, Poison Saint Ouyang Sen shouted, "Quick, quick... go and invite the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts!"

Before he finished speaking, the earth suddenly shook violently, and a lesser demon cried out in alarm, "Oh no! An earthquake! The nation's lifeline is collapsing!" The demons were thrown into chaos again.

Poison Saint Ouyang Sen was about to go out to invite the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts when he was also shaken and could not stand. He had to cling to the wall and barely steady himself, shouting, "Don't panic! Everyone, lie down!"

Ge Xiaoyao was startled when he heard Poison Saint Ouyang Sen shouting to invite the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts. He knew that although the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts could not detect him without using his true power, with his cultivation level, he would definitely be able to tell that this was the work of his Dragon Immortal Power. He immediately planned to withdraw his Dragon Immortal Power and quietly retreat. Unexpectedly, his feet suddenly shook, and he lost his balance and fell down the cliff.

"Damn it! What bad luck!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed inwardly, using his supreme profound skill to stabilize himself while using his Dragon Immortal Power to push away the large amount of wood and stones falling from above. Just as he was about to flip over and leap back up the cliff, he suddenly saw a red light flashing in the boundless abyss below.

"What is that? Could there be some treasure on this cliff?" Ge Xiaoyao wondered to himself. Instead of rushing up the cliff, he descended to see what the red glowing object was.

Meanwhile, the tremors on the cliff gradually subsided, and the demons gradually regained their composure. The roaring water lessened considerably, and no lesser demons went to summon the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts. Poison Saint Ouyang Sen felt a chill run down his spine as he recalled the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' words. "You must understand, what's being lost isn't water, but the vital energy of the Shang Dynasty. If the water runs dry, we're all finished!" Hearing the water's sound gradually weakening, as if the water was about to run dry, "No, we absolutely cannot let the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts know that the water has dried up!" Poison Saint Ouyang Sen suddenly realized that the depletion of the Shang Dynasty's vital energy wasn't his concern, but rather, if the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts found out that he had failed to plug the breach and allowed the Shang Dynasty's vital energy to drain away, his life would be over!

"Quick, quick, throw all the wood and stones down!" Poison Saint Ouyang Sen shouted urgently. He personally used his true strength to cut off a large rock and push it to the bottom of the cliff. The lesser demons also sprang into action, and countless more pieces of wood and stones were quickly added to the bottom of the precipice. At this moment, Poison Saint Ouyang Sen was sweating profusely, constantly looking towards the valley entrance outside, fearing that the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts might suddenly return. "Little Red and Little Blue, you two must hold this wolf demon back a little longer!" he prayed silently.

However, Ouyang Sen was overthinking things, because the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts was currently having a great time and had no time to worry about the fate of the Shang Dynasty.

The entire cave was bathed in the beautiful spring light, and the torches and jewels all around were lit, illuminating the dark cave in the night.

"Ah...ah...ah..." The pheasant spirit's snow-white body was pressed beneath the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts. With each rapid thrust of his body, she emitted waves of dazed and soul-stirring moans and screams. Her beautiful hair was disheveled, soaked with sweat, her face flushed, her brows furrowed in a mixture of pleasure and pain. Her engorged red lips were dry, opening and closing as she gasped for breath, her pink, slippery tongue occasionally darting out to lick them, glistening with an alluring sheen of wet saliva.

Meanwhile, Lan Yan was completely exhausted from the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' torment. Her delicate, boneless body lay naked on the ground, covered in slippery, sticky fluid. Her beautiful eyes were tightly closed, and she occasionally let out a weak moan.

"Ah...ah...um~~~" Xue Hong's moans gradually turned into screams of agony...

The bottom of the incredibly dark cliff was unfathomable. Even with Ge Xiaoyao's eyesight, he could only barely make out the general outline. The wood and stones below had all been pulverized by his Dragon Immortal Power, so his fall was unimpeded. Due to the splashing water, the surrounding stone walls were all wet, but now the water flow had gradually disappeared. After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Ge Xiaoyao finally reached the bottom of the cliff.

To his astonishment, the red light at the bottom of the cliff was nowhere to be seen; it was actually a passage leading into the mountains. It turned out that the red light Ge Xiaoyao had seen was coming from the other end of this passage. However, in Ge Xiaoyao's opinion, the red light wasn't fire; it was definitely the glow of jewels and jade.

"Since I'm here, I should at least go in and take a look!" Ge Xiaoyao, skilled and daring, didn't hesitate and walked into the passage.

The passage was very straight, and the surrounding stone walls were extremely smooth, without any trace of carving or chiseling, as if it had been formed naturally. This surprised Ge Xiaoyao, but he quickly understood, because he found some residual water stains in the passage. He realized that the water flow must have originated from this passage, meaning that the passage was originally a waterway, and the water flow had polished the stone walls to a mirror-like smoothness.

However, what astonished Ge Xiaoyao even more was that when he reached the other end of the passage, he was surprised to find a huge stone chamber with golden-lacquered walls. The walls and ceiling of the chamber were covered with exquisite murals, and in the center of the chamber grew a huge, unopened jade red lotus, emitting a strong red light.

Chapter 236 The Imperial Red Lotus (Part 2)

"What a beautiful red lotus!" Ge Xiaoyao was so blinded by the light emitted by the exquisite red lotus that he couldn't open his eyes, and he secretly praised it.

Ge Xiaoyao entered the stone chamber and came to the red lotus. He saw that the red lotus, with its intertwined roots, seemed to be alive, growing in the center of the chamber, but it was made of the finest red jade.

"Damn! Who hid such a good thing in Tianmu Mountain? Could this really be the national vein of the Shang Dynasty?" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. Just as he was about to examine the red lotus more closely, he saw another flash of red light before his eyes. Through that red light, he was surprised to see that the red lotus, which had been unopened just moments before, had fully bloomed.

Before Ge Xiaoyao could even marvel at it, he felt a thick surge of true energy suddenly erupt from the blooming red lotus, swirling and attempting to rush towards the passage. Standing before the lotus, he felt the true energy seemingly flowing into his own body.

Having previously absorbed the power of the Dragon Immortal, Ge Xiaoyao immediately activated his supreme profound technique upon feeling the true energy enter his body, guiding it back into his meridians.

"Such powerful true energy! If it just runs away like this, wouldn't that be a waste?!" Ge Xiaoyao absorbed a portion of the true energy and immediately felt incredibly comfortable, his cultivation level instantly increasing significantly. He thought to himself.

Seeing the true energy swirling within the stone chamber and leaking out of the cave, Ge Xiaoyao quickly retreated two steps, his body now blocking the exit of the passage, stopping the true energy filling the chamber.

"To absorb so much true energy, wouldn't it take two or three years? I'll just sit down and absorb as much as I can!" Ge Xiaoyao had spent nearly a year absorbing the Dragon Immortal Power from the Dragon-Slaying Blade, and he was secretly amazed. But thinking that it was better to take it all, he sat cross-legged and calmly began to circulate his Supreme Profound Technique, absorbing and dissolving the continuous flow of Red Lotus True Energy into his body.

However, Ge Xiaoyao felt that this Red Lotus True Energy was warm yet firm, smooth and soft like water, far less powerful and fierce than the Dragon Immortal Power. Absorbing it with his Supreme Profound Technique felt effortless.

"Truly a stroke of luck, I have to admit it!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself as he greedily absorbed the Red Lotus True Energy. Since entering the Shang Dynasty, he had experienced countless fortuitous encounters, each one making him stronger. Back then, he couldn't even defeat an ordinary soldier, but now he faced a group of monstrous talents who had cultivated for thousands of years without batting an eye—a world of difference indeed!

The soft, crimson lotus true energy flowed into Ge Xiaoyao's body like water nourishing a substance. Although the energy was abundant, Ge Xiaoyao felt no expansion of his energy channels; in fact, he felt the absorption speed increasing rapidly. Eventually, he couldn't wait for the true energy to automatically surge into his body. He activated his supreme profound technique, his entire body radiating a pale red light, absorbing all the true energy in the room.

"Ah..." After an unknown amount of time, Ge Xiaoyao abruptly closed his eyes, having used the last wisp of crimson lotus true energy. He saw an incredibly bright world before him, his body surging with true energy, seemingly possessing inexhaustible power. However, when he looked at the crimson lotus again, he was astonished to find that it had withered sometime during the day. A layer of crimson jade petals lay scattered on the ground.

And the twisted, gnarled roots of the crimson lotus had somehow transformed into a jade platform, upon which rested seven crystal-clear, snow-white lotus seeds.

"How could this be? Could this Crimson Jade Lotus really be alive?" Ge Xiaoyao was astonished. He took a step forward and casually picked up a petal, only to suddenly notice some extremely small characters faintly engraved on it.

"How could there be characters on this?" Ge Xiaoyao held the petal in his palm, examining it closely, and vaguely discerned the character "Shang." A thought struck him, and he combined his Dragon Immortal Power and Crimson Lotus True Power. Unlike the fierce and domineering Dragon Immortal Power, or the gentle and affectionate Crimson Lotus True Power, the two complemented each other perfectly, neither too strong nor too weak, making it very easy to handle. With a sweep of his true power, he gathered the scattered petals in his hand and examined them one by one.

Ge Xiaoyao would have been surprised if he hadn't looked; once he did, he gasped in shock. The inscriptions on the petals concerned the fate of the Shang Dynasty.

"What? Could it be that the Shang Dynasty's national essence doesn't refer to that cliff, but rather to this red lotus in the stone chamber?" Ge Xiaoyao wondered to himself. Although the red lotus had withered, he still clearly remembered the scene from earlier.

Because the petals were scattered, each petal only contained fragments of text, Ge Xiaoyao simply spread the petals out again, one by one, on the ground, and read them in order, finally understanding the whole story.

It turned out that the Shang Dynasty's national essence was indeed this red lotus in the stone chamber. The water stored in the stone chamber represented the national energy, and the red lotus, from its sprouting and rooting, growing little by little, to its blooming and withering, symbolized the entire process of the Shang Dynasty's rise and fall, from its birth to its peak and its demise. The growth of the red lotus depended on the amount of water in the stone chamber. Just now, the water in the stone chamber had dried up, and the Shang Dynasty's national energy had vanished, so the red lotus, symbolizing the Shang Dynasty, suddenly withered.

Ge Xiaoyao looked around. There seemed to be half a water stain on the golden wall of the stone chamber, indicating that there was indeed water inside.

"The world is strange; it turns out there really is such a thing as a national lifeline!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. He then glanced at the jade lotus seed on the jade platform and walked over to pick it up. The jade lotus seed was about the size of a peanut, crystal clear and perfectly natural, without a trace of artificial carving.

On the lotus seed, Ge Xiaoyao noticed an extremely tiny "Zhou" character.

"Could this jade lotus seed be the seed of the Zhou Dynasty? But where can it take root and sprout?" Ge Xiaoyao wondered to himself. "Never mind, I wonder how Duomei and the others are doing up there? I'll just take this jade lotus seed out and hand it over to Jiang Ziya later!"

Ge Xiaoyao had unintentionally stumbled into the stone chamber of the national vein and unknowingly absorbed countless amounts of red lotus true power. He felt his physical strength had increased significantly, and his spirit was much more abundant. The true power he used when gathering the petals was completely different from his original Dragon Immortal true power, which surprised him quite a bit. However, even though it was different, his true power was twice as strong. He was delighted and thought to himself, "Now the true power in my body is a mixture of Dragon Immortal power and red lotus true power, so I'll call it Dragon Lotus Power!"

Ge Xiaoyao put the national jade lotus seed into his void bag, but then prepared to gather the red lotus petals on the ground. However, when the Dragon Lotus True Power was released, the red lotus petals gradually dissolved and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"So be it! With the Shang Dynasty fallen, what use are these flower petals?!" Ge Xiaoyao sighed, glancing around the golden stone chamber once more. Seeing nothing else, he headed towards the passage.

The passage remained the same, but the area above the cliff was now filled with wood and stones. These things naturally couldn't stop Ge Xiaoyao's wall-passing technique. In an instant, Ge Xiaoyao arrived at the top of the cliff. To Ge Xiaoyao's delight, he not only obtained the Zhou Dynasty's heirloom lotus seed but also gained unparalleled cultivation. While the Dragon Immortal True Power was powerful and domineering, it lacked flexibility and agility, and the Red Lotus True Power perfectly compensated for this deficiency. From now on, he would no longer have to worry about insufficient true power.

After Ge Xiaoyao climbed up, he saw that the cliff had been filled in, and the giant boulder shaped like a human head was now connected to the cliff. Only then did Ge Xiaoyao vaguely understand the situation. The valley as a whole resembled a reclining giant, as if a giant had been petrified. Ge Xiaoyao suddenly thought of the stone chamber inside the mountain and wondered, "Could the Red Lotus Stone Chamber be the heart of this giant?"

At this moment, there wasn't a single demon in the valley. It seemed that the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and his group had left after believing they had repaired the Shang Dynasty's foundations. "Oh no! Duo Mei and the others..." Ge Xiaoyao suddenly thought of the Xuan Tian Shuttle. If the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and his group had left, they would surely discover the Xuan Tian Shuttle in Tianmu Mountain. The Jie Sect's demons were numerous and powerful, and only Duo Mei's cultivation was comparable to the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts. If a real battle broke out, the outcome would likely be dire.

Thinking of this, Ge Xiaoyao felt as if he were covered in frost, incredibly cold. However, he could comfort himself by the fact that he hadn't received Duo Mei's telepathic message.

"Duo Mei, where are you?" Ge Xiaoyao activated his supreme profound skill, and the telepathic message was automatically sent out. With Ge Xiaoyao's cultivation level, even if Duo Mei was tens of thousands of miles away, she could hear him.

However, after waiting for a long time, his voice was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any echo.

An ominous feeling flashed through Ge Xiaoyao's heart, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. "Duo Mei... where are you?" Ge Xiaoyao used his spiritual sense to sense again, but there was still no response.

He looked around and saw only continuous mountain ranges, the green mountains still there, but he had no mind to appreciate this beautiful scenery. He immediately took to the air, and the white-headed eagle was summoned from the Dragon Immortal Platform. Ge Xiaoyao mounted the eagle's back and flew away at high speed.

Ge Xiaoyao was frantic with worry. The white-headed eagle seemed to sense his presence, letting out two hoarse, sharp cries and flapping its massive wings, instantly covering ten miles.

According to Ge Xiaoyao's calculations, the distance he and Yin San had traveled from the Xuan Tian Shuttle to this point yesterday was only a hundred miles, a distance the white-headed eagle could cover in an instant. However, to Ge Xiaoyao's disappointment, the hillside where the Xuan Tian Shuttle had stopped was now completely empty.

A buzzing sound filled Ge Xiaoyao's mind, and he thought to himself, "Damn it! Something must have happened!"

At that moment, Ge Xiaoyao suddenly noticed signs of a struggle on the hillside; some vegetation was broken, as if swept by extremely powerful true energy.

The white-headed eagle circled overhead. Ge Xiaoyao was already frantic with worry. Even if Duo Mei and the others had been captured by the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, where would the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts take them? Would he take them to the Tongtian Cult Ancestor? If that were the case, Ge Xiaoyao would probably have to persuade the Primordial Heavenly Venerable to intervene. After all, he knew that although his cultivation was not low, he was still on par with grandmasters of both the immortal and demonic paths like Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozu!

Ge Xiaoyao frowned, his sharp eyes scanning the hillside like lightning. He hoped to find some clue here. If Duomei and the others had indeed encountered the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord, they would surely have left clues.

Just as Ge Xiaoyao was anxiously searching, a large net made of extremely fine black silk silently appeared behind him, slowly enveloping him and the white-headed eagle. The black silk was extremely fine and moved slowly, so it made no sound at all. If one did not look carefully, one would definitely not be able to see it.

Ge Xiaoyao was concerned about the safety of Duomei and the others, and his vigilance had dropped. In addition, the hillside was very large, and the area swept by his true energy was very wide. He was focused on finding clues and did not notice the giant black silk net.

When he realized it, it was too late. The giant black silk net had already covered him. "Ugh..." The two giant wings of the white-headed eagle were first bound by the silk net. Ge Xiaoyao exclaimed, "Not good!" He rushed upwards, but unexpectedly crashed into the net and was bounced back.

"Damn it! Demon Silk Net!" Ge Xiaoyao recognized this as the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' prized magic weapon—the Demon Silk Net. However, at this moment, he and the white-headed eagle were already firmly bound in the net. "Damn it..." Ge Xiaoyao wildly swung his Dragon Lotus Power, trying to tear the Demon Silk Net, but suddenly felt extremely strong demonic power coming at him from all sides.

In the distance, the arrogant laughter of the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and the three demons, Qi Lian, could be heard. Then, four black shadows rushed towards them at high speed. "Ge Xiaoyao, this time you have finally fallen into the hands of the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts!"

Chapter 237 The National Red Lotus (Part 2)

Ge Xiaoyao had no choice but to use his Dragon Lotus True Power to block the demonic power attacking him. He and the white-headed eagle were still trapped in the net. Seeing it was the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, he sneered, "You wolf spirit, so what if we fall into your hands?! What have you done to Duo Mei and the others?!" It should be known that Ge Xiaoyao was extremely confident; although trapped in the Demon Silk Net, he showed no fear. His earlier panic at the sight of Duo Mei and the others was truly due to his emotions.

There's a saying that even heaven grows old if it has feelings; if Ge Xiaoyao were heartless and indifferent, he would truly be invincible. However, there's another saying: even heroes find it hard to resist the charms of a beautiful woman. It's not that heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman, but rather that they don't want to.

"Hehe..." The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and the three demons of Qilian arrived instantly, laughing wildly. Hearing Ge Xiaoyao ask about Duomei and the others, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts chuckled lewdly, saying, "What Duomei and the others? You mean those three pretty beauties and that brat? Hahaha... What can happen to them now that they've fallen into my hands? Of course, I'll kill the men and let the women have their fun..."

Upon hearing this, Ge Xiaoyao was enraged. He roared, "Beast! If I, Ge Xiaoyao, don't grind you to dust, I swear I'm not human!" The power of the Dragon Lotus erupted, not tearing through the Demon Silk Net, but simply seeping through the gaps, instantly transforming into a three-zhang-long (approximately 10 meters) red flame giant blade in mid-air, slashing towards the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.

"How come this kid's cultivation is so high after only three days!" The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts was surprised. Seeing the fierce momentum of the giant blade, he dared not meet it head-on and prepared to dodge to the side. Unexpectedly, the giant blade, which had just landed in front of the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, suddenly changed direction and slashed horizontally towards the three demons of Qilian.

The three demons of Qilian cried out in alarm as a blinding flash of red light appeared before their eyes. Unable to dodge in time, they combined all their demonic power, forming a massive, dense black shield of demonic energy in front of them. With

a deafening roar, the giant red-flame blade formed from the Dragon Lotus power dissipated. The three demons groaned, their bodies flying backward like kites with broken strings. It turned out that although their combined demonic energy shield had barely blocked the giant red-flame blade, the residual force of the Dragon Lotus power had still struck them.

The three demons plummeted to the ground, each spitting out a mouthful of black blood, barely managing to regain their footing. "Good… brat, you actually ambushed us!" The Poison Saint Ouyang Sen, the most cunning of them all, had retreated instantly after forming the shield with his demonic power, so he was the least injured. Although he could still speak, his voice was weak and unstable. The Medicine Saint Zuoqiu Ran and the Calligraphy Saint Murong Xuan were both unable to utter a word.

Having successfully struck and severely injured the three demons of Qilian, Ge Xiaoyao's anger subsided somewhat. He immediately chanted a true incantation, absorbing the white-headed eagle into his Dragon Immortal Platform, preparing to use his Dragon Lotus True Power to tear through the Demon Silk Net and fight the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord to the death. The

Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord never expected Ge Xiaoyao to use a feint, severely injuring the three demons of Qilian in a single move. He was secretly shocked and began to regret his earlier boast. However, at this moment, he could not afford to be too hesitant, because if Ge Xiaoyao were to escape from the Demon Silk Net, he would not even have a chance to flee. He immediately exerted all his strength, and his originally dark demonic power suddenly turned as black as blood, splitting into several streams that transformed into countless demonic energy arrows in mid-air, shooting towards Ge Xiaoyao.

"You lecherous wolf! Behold my power!" Ge Xiaoyao hardened his heart, ignoring the incoming arrows. He concentrated his Dragon Lotus True Power into a single point, and with a series of hissing sounds, he truly tore a huge hole in the Demon Silk Net. At this moment, the rain of demonic energy arrows had all struck him.

However, this did not hinder Ge Xiaoyao's actions. With a roar, he unleashed his Dragon Lotus True Power once more, conjuring a giant red flame blade over ten zhang long in mid-air, even sharper than the previous blade, which slashed towards the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts with lightning speed.

"Damn it, it seems this kid has been provoked to the point of fighting to the death..." The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts saw Ge Xiaoyao leap out of the Demon Silk Net, disregarding his rain of demonic energy arrows, and he already sensed something was wrong. But before he could decide whether to fight or retreat, the giant red flame blade had already struck his face. The powerful true energy and scorching heat made him unable to look directly at it.

"Ah!" The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts roared, his clothes suddenly ripped apart, and his body instantly grew seven or eight times larger, transforming into a gigantic gray wolf eight zhang tall. Its sharp fangs gleamed, and black smoke billowed from its head, seemingly teeming with the true souls of countless ferocious beasts, tightly enveloping Ge Xiaoyao's crimson flame giant blade. The

crimson flame giant blade's downward strike was immediately blocked by the black smoke, from which came the screams of ferocious beasts. In an instant, the black smoke was completely obliterated by the crimson flame giant blade, leaving only the screams of the countless beasts echoing in the air, terrifying all who heard them. In that very instant, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' wolf form reverted, having already fled far away.

"That was close, that was close!" The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts was forced to revert to his true form, releasing all the true souls of ferocious beasts accumulated over the years to block Ge Xiaoyao's fierce attack, barely escaping death.

Ge Xiaoyao hadn't expected this lecherous wolf to use such a clever escape technique. He sneered, "Lecherous wolf! Let's see what else you can do!" With that, he unleashed his Dragon Lotus Power, this time transforming it into three giant red-flame blades, each slashing towards the Beast Demon Lord from three directions.

"Brother Ge..." Ge Xiaoyao unleashed his Dragon Lotus Power, but suddenly heard a very familiar voice in the distance. His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly turned around.

The Beast Demon Lord, however, seemed to have seized a golden opportunity. Seeing Ge Xiaoyao suddenly distracted, he dared not linger and quickly channeled his demonic power to knock down one of the giant red-flame blades, then fled rapidly in the northwest direction.

"Duo Mei!" Ge Xiaoyao was overjoyed to see the Xuan Tian Shuttle slowly flying towards them. He forgot all about chasing the Beast Demon Lord and rushed to greet them. "Are you all alright?!"

The Xuan Tian Shuttle's hatch slowly opened, and Duo Mei, Ling Lei, Yu Lu, and Yin San jumped out. "Brother Ge, are you alright?"

"I'm fine! Weren't you captured by the Beast Demon Lord?" Ge Xiaoyao asked hurriedly.

Everyone laughed. "No… We played hide-and-seek with them in the Xuan Tian Shuttle for three days, and we couldn't find you anywhere! We only came because we heard a noise here, and we didn't expect it to be Brother Ge!" Duo Mei said quickly.

"Damn it!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed under his breath, looking back, but the Beast Demon Lord was nowhere to be seen. He sighed, "That wolf spirit got away again!" He then realized that they had fallen for the Beast Demon Lord's trick.

"Didn't the Beast Demon Lord say you were captured? Brother Ge… how did you escape?" Yu Lu asked.

Ge Xiaoyao chuckled, "That damned lecherous wolf spirit tricked us on both sides! How could I possibly be captured by that wolf spirit!"

The group was relieved, then looked at the hillside ravaged by the true energy, now a scene of devastation. They sighed at not having killed the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord and the three Qilian demons.

"Alright! We'll catch that lecherous wolf spirit sooner or later!" Ge Xiaoyao chuckled and beckoned everyone back onto the Xuan Tian Shuttle.

Once everyone sat down, Duo Mei asked, "Brother Ge, where have you been for the past three days? We've been looking everywhere for you!"

Ge Xiaoyao, already surprised, quickly retorted, "What? I've been gone for three days? Is that long?"

"Yes, we were all worried sick. When the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord said you'd been captured, we actually believed him!" Ling Lei added.

"It's a long story..." Ge Xiaoyao chuckled, then recounted in detail how he saw the cliff in the Dongshan stone cave, and how he fell down to find the Red Lotus Stone Chamber. He omitted the part about the Beast Demon Lord's sexual encounter with the two pheasant spirits, as peeping wasn't exactly honorable.

"Good, Boss is amazing... This time, not only has the Shang Dynasty's lineage been severed, but the seed of the Zhou Dynasty's lineage has also been found..." Yin San laughed. "Hey, Boss, what does that Imperial Lotus Seed look like? Show it to us!"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded with a smile, then summoned his Void Bag and took the Imperial Lotus Seed in his palm. The lotus seed was snow-white and flawless, shimmering with crystalline light, making the Xuan Tian Shuttle appear like a dream, and a strange, refreshing fragrance permeated the air.

"Treasure, this is a real treasure!" Yin San exclaimed. Duo Mei, Ling Lei, Yu Lu, and the others had never seen such a large white jade lotus seed before, and they all praised it highly.

Ge Xiaoyao then pointed out the tiny "Zhou" character engraved on the Imperial Lotus Seed, which only amplified everyone's astonishment.

"Heh heh... if King Zhou and the Tongtian Sect Master knew their kingdom's lineage was severed, and even the Imperial Lotus Seed had fallen into someone else's hands, wouldn't they be furious!" Yin San chuckled.

Meanwhile, on the misty, sunless Tongtian Peak of Mount Kongtong, a somber atmosphere filled the Tongtian Palace.

The Tongtian Sect Master, dressed in black Daoist robes and with flowing silver hair, sat on his throne, eyes closed, silent for a long time, as if in deep meditation. Inside

the palace, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and the three demons, Qi Lian, knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a sound, their clothes soaked with cold sweat.

The atmosphere was deathly still, save for the occasional wisps of smoke rising from the incense burner.

The oppressive atmosphere was suffocating.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts lowered his head, his brows furrowed, his heart pounding. He had just reported to the Tongtian Patriarch about his efforts to restore the Shang Dynasty's national strength and his defeat in battle against Ge Xiaoyao, but the Tongtian Patriarch remained silent, his face clouded with worry. Of course, he concealed his lewd affair with the demoness in Tianmu Mountain; after all, it was best not to let the Tongtian Patriarch know about such a sordid act.

Although he considered his sins minor, and although he hadn't captured Ge Xiaoyao, he had at least restored the Shang Dynasty's national strength, which offset his transgressions and prevented punishment. However, little did he know that the Shang Dynasty's national strength hadn't actually been repaired; rather, it had been severed at its root. Only the Poison Saint Ouyang Sen knew the truth.

After a long while, the Tongtian Patriarch slowly opened his eyes and sighed softly. "Could it be the will of Heaven?" asked

the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts. He hurriedly replied, "The will of Heaven protects our Jie Sect and safeguards the Great Shang Dynasty, thus restoring the national veins. That clown Ge Xiaoyao, although we haven't captured him yet, will fall into our hands sooner or later..." He tried to understand the meaning of the Ancestor of Tongtian and flattered him with kind words.

"Hmph!" The Ancestor of Tongtian slammed his hand on the armrest, stood up, and said sternly, "Useless trash! Even now, you still dare to deceive this Ancestor! Do you think I don't know that the national veins have been severed, and even the Imperial Lotus Seed has fallen into the hands of that brat Ge Xiaoyao?!"

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and the three demons of Qilian were stunned. They were so frightened that they couldn't say a word. After a long time, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts cried out in grief, "Ancestor... how could I dare to deceive you? The national veins have indeed been repaired!"

Chapter 238 Yinshan Demon Mirror (Part 1)

"Still dare to argue! I just used the Tongtian method to see through the secrets of Heaven. Do you think I would make a mistake?!" the Ancestor of Tongtian said angrily.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts trembled. From the tone of the Ancestor of Heaven, he knew that he was probably doomed. But he still didn't understand why the national veins, which had been repaired, would be broken. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he abruptly stood up, grabbing Poison Saint Ouyang Sen: "Ouyang Sen... what's going on? What have you been hiding from me?!"

Poison Saint Ouyang Sen was already sweating profusely, trembling as he said, "Demon Lord, Ancestor, I didn't do anything..."

"Wild Wolf... let him go..." Ancestor Tongtian shook his head and sighed, "I already know what happened earlier, you don't need to argue anymore!"

He coldly glanced at Poison Saint Ouyang Sen and said, "Poison Saint Qilian, you failed to notice the opportunity, causing the nation's lifeline to break, and you concealed it, causing a great disaster! Tell me, what should be done?"

Upon hearing this, Poison Saint Ouyang Sen was struck as if by a bolt from the blue, his face turning deathly pale, and he frantically kowtowed and cried out, "Ancestor... I know I was wrong... I deserve to die a thousand deaths, please spare my life for my unwavering loyalty to the Jie Sect!"

"It really is you, you beast! You've caused me so much suffering!" The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts roared, stepping forward and kicking Poison Saint Ouyang Sen to the ground.

"Wild Wolf...you neglected your duties and disobeyed my orders, causing this great disaster. However, since the Intercepting Sect is currently in need of manpower, I will spare your life. If you can capture Ge Xiaoyao and seize the Lotus Seed of the State, you will have atoned for your sins! If you fail, don't blame me, the Tongtian Sect Ancestor, for being ruthless and heartless..." The Tongtian Sect Ancestor ignored Poison Saint Ouyang Sen and spoke to the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord shuddered, thinking to himself, "That was close, that was close..." He quickly kowtowed to express his gratitude and swore a poisonous oath: "If I fail to capture Ge Xiaoyao and retrieve the Lotus Seed of the State, I, Wild Wolf, will destroy myself without the Sect Ancestor's intervention!"

At this moment, Poison Saint Ouyang Sen, seeing that he was probably going to die today, suddenly roared and turned to flee out of the Tongtian Palace.

The Tongtian Patriarch sneered, his five fingers slightly outstretched, and a large black hand materialized out of thin air, firmly grabbing Ouyang Sen, who had only taken a few steps, and pulling him back. "You beast, I had no intention of killing you, yet you betrayed me. It seems you are doomed to die..." the Tongtian Patriarch said fiercely.

The black hand suddenly tightened, and Poison Saint Ouyang Sen screamed in agony as his body was crushed flat. Then, a series of sounds of bones breaking and flesh tearing rang out. Under the grip of the black hand, Ouyang Sen's corpse was slowly ground into powder. With a "poof," a burst of black fire ignited from the illusory hand. When the black hand dissipated, the once large and living Poison Saint Ouyang Sen had vanished without a trace.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord and the others felt a chill in their hearts. They were all cultivators and knew that Poison Saint Ouyang Sen had not even left a trace of his soul.

With a flick of his hand, the Tongtian Patriarch annihilated the soul of Ouyang Sen, the Poison Saint of Qilian Mountain, shocking the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord and the others. He then sighed, "It's not that I'm heartless to kill him, but that he was disloyal to me… Regardless of his abilities, I will show no mercy to anyone who is disloyal!"

Though spoken slowly, these words carried a chilling intensity, sending shivers down the spines of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord and his companions. "We swear to serve the Patriarch to the death!" the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord declared, leading the charge.

A slight smile appeared on the Tongtian Patriarch's face as he slowly said, "Wild Wolf, although you have the courage and determination to capture Ge Xiaoyao alive and retrieve the Chuanjia Lotus Seed, I have already discovered that Ge Xiaoyao has absorbed the supreme true power within the Chuanjia Red Lotus. You are no match for him now!"

"No wonder Ge Xiaoyao became so powerful this time. Not only did he injure the three demons of Qilian with a single move, but I almost couldn't withstand his subsequent attacks. Fortunately, I told a huge lie beforehand, and the Xuan Tian Shuttle returned just in time, distracting Ge Xiaoyao and allowing me to escape!" The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts finally understood and hurriedly said, "In that case, I dare to ask the Ancestor to bestow a magic weapon again, so that Ge Xiaoyao will surely be executed!"

The Ancestor of Tongtian nodded, "This Ge Xiaoyao's origins are unknown, and he doesn't seem to be a member of the Chan Sect, but..." Yet they boast of destroying the Shang Dynasty and helping the Chan Sect defeat my Jie Sect, naturally a great scourge to my heart. However, I needn't give you the magic weapon anymore; you can still use the Demon Silk Net. I'll send another person to assist you; with a little strategy, they can capture Ge Xiaoyao. However, none of them must be harmed!"

Hearing that the Tongtian Sect Ancestor seemed to intend to give him the Demon Silk Net, the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord was immediately excited and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Ancestor. However, the wild wolf is clumsy; I don't know what strategy to use?"

"Don't be hasty..." said the Tongtian Sect Master. "The person I sent to help you, you must have heard of his name. He is the giant rat spirit from Yinshan Mountain, who calls himself the Yinshan Ancestor. He possesses a treasure mirror, one of two ancient treasure mirrors naturally refined at the beginning of chaos. It was originally a pair with the Xuanyuan Demon-Subduing Mirror, but later, because its power was too great, it was sealed in Yinshan Mountain, where it was unintentionally obtained by the Yinshan Ancestor..."

The Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord listened intently, afraid of missing anything. He had indeed met this Yinshan Ancestor once, at the Jie Sect Assembly, and felt that this person was extremely arrogant and not easy to get along with. Now, seeing that he was to cooperate with him to capture Ge Xiaoyao, he was somewhat unwilling, but he had no choice.

At this moment, the Tongtian Patriarch said again, "No matter how high one's cultivation level is, as long as their face is reflected in that mirror, they will be instantly sucked into the mirror's mystical realm. If one does not have sufficient willpower, they will be trapped inside and never be able to escape!"

The Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord sighed inwardly, "Truly, there are people beyond people, and mountains beyond mountains..." He originally thought that capturing Ge Xiaoyao with his cultivation and the Demon Silk Net would be as easy as taking candy from a baby, but he did not expect to run into such a big obstacle. Now, hearing that the Yinshan Patriarch possessed such a powerful mirror, he was itching to see it for himself.

"You only need to lead the two saints, Qi and Lian, to find Ge Xiaoyao and lure him into Yinshan. I will then instruct the Yinshan Patriarch to prepare, and you can capture them both at the same time!" the Tongtian Patriarch said.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts nodded and said, "But how can we lure Ge Xiaoyao to Yin Mountain?"

The Ancestor of Tongtian chuckled, "Wild Wolf, you've followed me for so many years, yet you haven't even considered it! There are several members of that Immortal Dao Legion. You only need to capture one of them and take him to Yin Mountain. Would Ge Xiaoyao dare not risk his life to save him?!"

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Ancestor... Wild Wolf will go now!"

The Ancestor of Tongtian smiled and said, "Go, go... Don't disappoint me again!"

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts said, "Don't worry, Ancestor, Wild Wolf will definitely bring back a living Ge Xiaoyao!" As he spoke, he gave the two saints, Qi Lian and Qi Lian, a wink. The two saints also hurriedly bid farewell to the Ancestor of Tongtian and left Tongtian Palace together.

After leaving the Tongtian Palace, the Beast Demon Lord's face darkened. He said to the two sages, Qi and Lian, "I know your elder brother died tragically, and you are not happy about it. But if you don't want him to be annihilated like that, find a way to capture Ge Xiaoyao's girl!"

The Healer Zuoqiu Ran and the Calligrapher Murong Xuan quickly replied, "Yes, Demon Lord! But the five of them are always together, how can we capture them alone?"

The Beast Demon Lord smiled sinisterly, "Hmph... They eat together, sleep together, they can't even relieve themselves together! From the moment we find them, we must keep a close watch on them. No matter what, they will eventually be alone!"

The two sages, Qi and Lian, quickly agreed. The Beast Demon Lord grinned maliciously, "Hehe... When that time comes, my Demon Silk Net will cover them..."

"Demon Lord... Since Ge Xiaoyao obtained the Imperial Lotus Seed, he must have already returned. Where should we look for them?" the Calligrapher Murong Xuan asked.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' wolf-like face darkened. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If we let them return to Xiqi or Kunlun, it will be troublesome to capture them again. Fortunately, they are not fast. If we chase after them now, we should still be able to catch up!" He glanced at the Healer Saint and the Poison Saint and said, "Let's go!"

Meanwhile, Ge Xiaoyao's immortal army also emerged from Tianmu Mountain, preparing to return to Xiqi to discuss countermeasures with Jiang Ziya. However, the Xuan Tian Shuttle was much slower at this time. After several fierce battles, everyone felt that Jiang Ziya's method of splitting the army into two groups was indeed somewhat risky, especially Yu Lu, who began to worry. Ge Xiaoyao comforted her for a while before dispelling her doubts and steered the Xuan Tian Shuttle at full speed back to Xiqi City.

In less than three days, they arrived in Qilian Mountain, above the stone house where they had fought the Ten Thousand Beasts. Looking down from mid-air, the stone house had been smashed to pieces by the giant elephant, leaving only one room standing. The original herb garden had also been trampled flat by the beasts, a scene of utter devastation. Recalling the harrowing experience, Ge Xiaoyao chuckled and said, "How come we can't see a single beast now? Otherwise, we could rest here for a while and let you taste my roasted wild boar!"

Yin San immediately echoed, "Yes... Back when my eldest brother and I were in Dongyi, the taste of roasted wild boar was absolutely amazing!" He suddenly remembered that Duo Mei was the Holy Maiden of Dongyi, and feared that he might say something inappropriate and offend his first sister-in-law. Seeing Duo Mei's smiling face, he finally felt relieved. She then said, "Boss, how about this? I'll go get a wild boar, and we'll rest in that still standing stone house for the night, and set off again tomorrow!"

"Little Three, how can that be? Brother Ge is currently carrying the Lotus Seed of the Nation, which is extremely important to Xiqi. Besides, the Tongtian Sect Master must already know about this. What if he sends a demon to catch up with us?!" Ling Lei said.

Yin San knew that this second sister-in-law was not as gentle as the original Yan Qiang. Now she was the reincarnation of a dragon maiden, with a pretty face and a sharp tongue, not to be offended. He quickly chuckled and said nothing more. Ge Xiaoyao then smiled and said, "Lei'er, everyone has been tired for days. It's alright to rest. Even if a few demons come, they can't do anything to us. Besides, we haven't seen any demons chasing us these past few days."

Seeing that Ge Xiaoyao also agreed to rest here, Ling Lei had no choice but to nod in agreement. In fact, she also wanted to taste the roasted wild boar.

Yin San shouted and, without waiting for the Xuan Tian Shuttle to descend, had Ge Xiaoyao open the hatch and jumped out from mid-air to search for wild boar all over the mountains.

Seeing Yin San's impatient appearance, Ge Xiaoyao couldn't help but shake his head and smile to himself, "This little San..." He then controlled the Xuan Tian Shuttle to descend slowly, landing in front of the stone house. He then used magic to shrink the Xuan Tian Shuttle and put it into his void bag before entering the only remaining stone house with Duo Mei, Ling Lei, and Yu Lu.

Inside the stone house, resembling the pharmacy of a medical sage, various herbs were displayed everywhere, exuding a strong herbal aroma. Ge Xiaoyao said, "Why don't we choose a few herbs to use when roasting the wild boar!" He casually picked up a few tonics such as ginseng and deer antler, and naturally swept the rest away outside with a wave of his Red Lotus Immortal Power.

"Brother Ge... let's go get some firewood!" Duo Mei smiled as she saw Ge Xiaoyao cleaning the stone house, and led Ling Lei and Yu Lu out.

Outside the stone chamber, countless trees had been trampled and broken by the beasts. Not to mention that Duo Mei's true power was comparable to a swift blade, Ling Lei's Seven Star Golden Obsidian Sword hadn't even been used in battle yet, but it had already become a wood-chopping knife. Before long, the three beauties, each using a wisp of true power, dragged large bundles of firewood towards the stone chamber, just as Yin San, carrying a huge wild boar on his back, landed mid-air.

"Haha, the three sisters-in-law are all ethereal fairies, yet they've taken on the role of virtuous wives by the stove! However, the hard labor of chopping wood should still be done by the eldest!" Yin San laughed heartily.

"You little devil! What nonsense are you talking about?!" Duo Mei immediately retorted with a smile.

Ling Lei also laughed and retorted, "Little San, you little devil, why did you have to choose this dead pig? Do you want to be a wild boar in your next life?"

Chapter 239 Yinshan Demon Mirror (Part 2)

Inside the stone house, a roaring bonfire had been lit, dispelling the chill of the deep mountain night. A thick wild boar leg rested on the red flames, accompanied by the sizzling sound of oil dripping into the fire and the crackling of burning firewood, the rich aroma of roasted meat gradually wafted out.

"Wow...it smells so good!" Yu Lu exclaimed, her beautiful face even more captivating under the flickering firelight. Yu Lu had always lived in the mountains as a jade being, never consuming human food. She survived and cultivated by absorbing the spiritual energy of water and the essence of the sun and moon. How could she have tasted such earthly delicacies? As she spoke, the rich aroma made her mouth water.

"Third Sister-in-law, you haven't tasted Brother Ge's cooking. If you had, I guarantee that the next time you see wild boar, you'd think of this roasted meat!" Yin San chuckled.

"This is nothing! It hasn't even had any spices added yet!" Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly, grabbing a handful of various nourishing herbs from the medicine basket beside him. With a slight movement of his true energy, the herbs automatically ground into powder. "Little Third Sister, you haven't actually tasted it either. The wild boar legs roasted with these herbs are absolutely incomparable to what we used to roast!" He then evenly sprinkled the herbs onto two wild boar legs.

A wonderful aroma, a blend of medicinal and meaty scents, filled the air, whetting everyone's appetite. Yin San stared intently at the wild boar leg, now oozing with oil, swallowed hard with a loud "gulp," and chuckled, "It's truly incomparable, it smells absolutely divine..."

"Big brother, is it ready yet?" Ling Lei asked, her expression clearly showing she was about to lose her ladylike composure. Even Duo Mei couldn't help but say, "Big brother, hurry up! Look how hungry they are!"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded and smiled, "Alright, almost done!" While turning the wooden frame supporting the boar leg, he secretly channeled his supreme profound skill, guiding a surge of Dragon Lotus True Power towards the fire, instantly intensifying the flames. "I'll use my inner energy to power the flames and soften the bones inside, making it even more fragrant!"

The five of them devoured two wild boar legs, each weighing over twenty pounds, their mouths still brimming with satisfaction, but their stomachs couldn't take it anymore. The three beauties had also abandoned their ladylike demeanor; it wasn't that their eating manners were unseemly, but the fragrant roasted pig was simply too delicious.

Ge Xiaoyao opened a jar of old wine and shared it with everyone. The three beauties only took a couple of sips, while Ge Xiaoyao and Yin San,

known for their large capacity for alcohol, drank heartily. The roaring campfire illuminated their joyful faces. These individuals, who had all been lonely, now sat together like a family, feeling warm and secure. Even the impending danger was forgotten.

It was late at night, and everyone was slightly tipsy from their meal and drinks. Yu Lu and Ling Lei exchanged a glance, and Ling Lei, understanding, stood up and said to Ge Xiaoyao, "Brother Ge, Yu Lu and I are going for a walk!"

Ge Xiaoyao could tell from their expressions that they needed to relieve themselves, so he said to Duo Mei, "Why don't you go with them?"

Duo Mei said, "Okay!" and was about to stand up.

Yu Lu, however, said, "No need, Sister Duo Mei, we'll be right back. There's no one else around in these mountains anyway, we can go by ourselves!" With that, she and Ling Lei went out.

Seeing Yu Lu's refusal, Ge Xiaoyao didn't insist and continued drinking with Yin San.

After waiting for a long time, they still hadn't returned, so Ge Xiaoyao said to Duo Mei, "Why haven't they come back yet? Go check on them!"

Duo Mei was about to get up when Ling Lei suddenly rushed in, anxiously saying, "Brother, Sister Duo Mei, something terrible has happened! Ling Lei is missing!"

"What!" Ge Xiaoyao was shocked and stood up abruptly.

Ling Lei stamped her feet anxiously, tears streaming down her face before she could even speak!

Yin San and Duo Mei were also caught off guard and hurriedly asked, "What happened, Ling Lei? Tell us slowly!"

Ling Lei finally caught her breath and said, "I was waiting for Yu Lu behind the house... but she didn't come over. Then I looked again, and she was gone! Where did Yu Lu go?!"

Ge Xiaoyao frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart. He immediately said, "Yu Lu doesn't know Kunlun's sound transmission technique, so she can't contact us! We can only split up and search!"

Everyone nodded. Ge Xiaoyao and Yin San formed one group, and Duo Mei and Ling Lei formed the other. Each of them released their true energy to search for Yu Lu's whereabouts. However, after searching the area within a hundred miles, they couldn't find even a trace of Yu Lu.

“Although Yu Lu’s cultivation is relatively weak, even the fiercest beasts in the mountains wouldn’t be able to abduct her. If she left on her own, she wouldn’t have traveled a hundred miles in such a short time,” Ge Xiaoyao frowned. “She must have been kidnapped by the Jie Sect demons! But that’s alright, at least Yu Lu’s safety is guaranteed. Since they’ve kidnapped her, they’ll surely make some demands!”

Duo Mei looked at Ge Xiaoyao, secretly admiring his ability to remain clear-headed even at this moment. However, she didn’t know that Ge Xiaoyao had already used all his Dragon Lotus True Power to search within a two-hundred-mile radius, but hadn’t found any trace of Yu Lu. So, this analysis was made because, without knowing Yu Lu’s whereabouts, he was still extremely anxious. He was saying this to calm the others down.

The night was long, and the four of them sat around the fire in silence. Ge Xiaoyao’s Dragon Lotus True Power had already spread within a ten-mile radius of the stone house. He could detect anyone, even a bird flying by.

Duo Mei, Ling Lei, and Yin San all knew that Ge Xiaoyao was waiting, waiting for the news that would come sooner or later, whether it was good news or bad news.

Sure enough, Ge Xiaoyao suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes and said, "Come with me!" After saying that, he rushed out the door, and Duo Mei, Ling Lei, and Yin San followed closely behind.

Leaving the stone house, Ge Xiaoyao flew eastward for seven or eight miles, and suddenly saw a white silk scroll hanging on an ancient tree on a hillside. The ink on the scroll was still wet, as if it had just been written.

"To save Yulu, go west to Yinshan!" Besides these eight large characters, there was nothing else. Ge Xiaoyao held the scroll, looking westward, his brows furrowed.

"Brother Ge, what's wrong?" At this moment, Duomei and the others arrived one after another, seeing Ge Xiaoyao's distracted state, they asked.

Ge Xiaoyao remained silent, only handing the scroll to Duomei.

Duomei, Linglei, and Yin San looked at it, but were all greatly puzzled. "Yinshan? What kind of place is Yinshan?" Linglei suddenly asked.

"Check the River and Mountain Map!" Ge Xiaoyao suddenly spoke, and as he silently recited the incantation, a dark light shot out from his body, and the Xuan Tian Shuttle appeared before the four of them.

Yin San was the first to enter the Xuan Tian Shuttle, retrieve the River and Mountain Map, and the others unfolded it on the ground. Ge Xiaoyao pointed to a mountain peak on the map and said, "This is Yinshan, a large mountain north of Tianmu Mountain!"

"Just from the name, you can tell it's not a good place!" Ling Lei said, "Those demons of the Jie Sect must have set some kind of trap there, using Sister Yulu as a hostage!"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded calmly and said, "Whether it's a trap or not, we have to go!" He looked up at the three of them and suddenly said, "Let's take this Xuantian Shuttle and fly to Yinshan to rescue Yulu!"

Everyone knew that although the Xuantian Shuttle was an excellent magic weapon, it wasn't very fast. Rescuing someone was the priority, so they all nodded in agreement.

Ge Xiaoyao pondered for a moment, and then another beam of dark light shot into the sky from his body. With a "hoarse" cry, it was the white-headed eagle. “Lei’er, your cultivation is weak, so ride this white-headed eagle!”

Ling Lei nodded in agreement. Actually, she had originally wanted to use the Seven Star Golden Obsidian Sword for transportation, but she secretly knew that her true strength was insufficient and that it would be difficult to control the Seven Star Golden Obsidian Sword. It would be better to ride this white-headed divine eagle so that she wouldn’t

hold everyone back. “This journey will definitely be fraught with danger. No matter what happens, we must not be alone!” Ge Xiaoyao then carefully taught Ling Lei the Kunlun sound transmission technique, letting her practice on the eagle’s back. Only then did the group exert their true strength and leap into the air, rushing towards Yinshan.

Meanwhile, in the continuous mountain range of Yinshan, there stood a magnificent palace. On the lintel of the palace were three golden characters: “Yinshan Palace.” This was the lair of the Yinshan Ancestor.

“Ancestor…”

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts called out when he saw that the palace was empty. Behind him were the two saints, Qi Lian and Qi Qi, who were dragging and pulling Yu Lu, who had been subdued by demonic magic.

Although Yu Lu was restrained by demonic magic, her mind remained clear. One of her beautiful eyes flashed with anger, glaring frequently at the two demons,

Qi Lian and Qi Lian. These two demons, along with the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, were lecherous wolves and despicable scoundrels. They had long coveted Yu Lu's beauty, but because the Tongtian Sect Master had given prior instructions, they were relatively polite to her and didn't lay a hand on her, though their words were certainly filthy.

"Hehe, little beauty, are you in a hurry to get into bed? Look at your brother with such hatred!" The Medical Saint Zuo Qiuran chuckled lewdly, dragging Yu Lu forward two steps.

Yu Lu had never suffered such humiliation before. Her face flushed crimson, but her mouth and limbs were restrained by demonic magic, rendering her speechless. If looks could kill, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and the two demons, Qi Lian and Qi Lian, would probably have been reduced to three piles of minced meat long ago.

"Ah... I wondered who had come to visit my Yinshan, it turns out to be the Demon Lord! Please, please come in!" An old man in gray robes, with a gray face and gray hair and beard suddenly appeared before the gates of Yinshan Palace.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, seeing the sudden appearance of the Yinshan Ancestor, thought to himself, "No wonder it's just a rat demon, its movements are so unpredictable!" But he forced a smile and said, "Ancestor, how have you been? It's been several years since we parted at the Jie Sect Conference. I, the Demon Lord

of Ten Thousand Beasts, have missed you dearly!" The Yinshan Ancestor replied, "How could I not miss the Demon Lord!" He glanced at the two saints, Qilian and Yulu, and then said, "Oh... these two must be the Medical Saint and the Calligraphy Saint of Qilian Mountain, and this young lady is the so-called member of the Immortal Dao Legion?"

The two demons, Qilian and Yulu, hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects, while Yulu merely watched coldly, glaring angrily.

As they spoke, the group entered Yinshan Palace. The Yinshan Ancestor ordered his demon followers to lead the two saints, Qilian and Yulu, to be imprisoned in the rear hall.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts glanced at Yinshan Palace and said, "The Ancestor is still the most impressive. Even his residence is so luxurious!"

The Ancestor of Yinshan laughed and said, "It's just two dilapidated houses. How can it compare to the Demon Lord's residence in Tongtian Palace!"

The two sat down and then turned to the main topic.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts said, "I presume the Ancestor has already received news from the Sect Master. I brought that little girl here entirely to rely on the Ancestor's power to capture Ge Xiaoyao!"

The Yinshan Ancestor laughed, "I have received the Sect Master's decree. Demon Lord, rest assured, as long as Ge Xiaoyao dares to come to my Yinshan, I will make sure he never leaves!"

"Good!" The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts laughed, "Ancestor, you have attained enlightenment long ago, and your cultivation is comparable to that of a celestial being. That mere Ge Xiaoyao is no match for you. Moreover, you possess that ancient mirror magic weapon, whose power is boundless!" The Yinshan Ancestor smiled

and said, "Demon Lord, you flatter me. I am truly unworthy of such praise. To be honest, although I attained enlightenment relatively early, my cultivation is mediocre. I mainly rely on that Reflecting Desire Ancient Mirror to maintain my prestige!"

"Ancestor, you are too modest. So the ancient mirror that is paired with the Xuanyuan Subduing Demon Mirror is called the Reflecting Desire Ancient Mirror?" The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts chuckled, "Would you mind bringing it out so that I, the Wild Wolf, can broaden my horizons?"

Chapter 240 Yinshan Demon Mirror (Part 2)

"It's alright to take a look, just don't look at the front!" The Yinshan Ancestor chuckled, waving his long arm. A black light flashed, and a black cloth bag appeared in his hand.

The Beast Demon Lord saw that one side of the black cloth bag was embroidered with a stunningly beautiful woman with long hair, while the other side was embroidered with a ferocious and terrifying skull in white thread. He knew this was no ordinary item and quickly asked with a smile, "Is this the Reflecting Desire Mirror?"

"Indeed!" the Yinshan Ancestor said, reaching out to lift the black cloth with the skull embroidered on it and handing it to the Beast Demon Lord. It turned out that the bag was made of two layers and could be opened from both sides.

The Beast Demon Lord happily took the Reflecting Desire Mirror and looked into it, but his face instantly changed color, and he couldn't help but cry out in surprise, "How could this be?" It turned out that what was reflected in the bronze mirror was not himself, but a body torn apart by true energy. If it were just ordinary carnage, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts wouldn't even blink an eye. But he discovered that the severed limbs were his own true form!

The Yinshan Ancestor chuckled and said, "Demon Lord, what do you see?"

"I died a horrible death..." The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' face was deathly pale, and even his voice had changed.

"Oh..." The Yinshan Ancestor, seeing the Demon Lord's expression, knew what he had seen. He sighed, shook his head, and comforted him, "Demon Lord, take it easy. Life is unpredictable, and desires are insatiable. Looking across the Three Realms, whether ghosts, gods, humans, or beasts, none can truly control their own life and death! This image in the mirror is neither entirely real nor entirely false; the Demon Lord need not worry about it!"

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts was an extremely evil demon, usually domineering, ferocious, and wicked, so he didn't care about his own life or death. Seeing his own death was almost unbearable, but after being comforted by the Yinshan Ancestor, he chuckled and said, "It's alright, it's alright, thank you for your concern, Ancestor. I was just momentarily agitated!" As he spoke, he turned the mirror over and saw the alluring figure of the long-haired beauty, then laughed, "The back of this precious mirror represents evil, but the front must be good, right?" He immediately reached out to remove the black cloth covering the mirror.

"Demon Lord, wait! This cloth cannot be removed, and the front of this precious mirror cannot be seen!" The Yinshan Ancestor, seeing the Beast Demon Lord's actions, trembled and quickly stopped him.

"Why?" the Beast Demon Lord asked, puzzled.

The Yinshan Ancestor took the Reflecting Desire Mirror from the Beast Demon Lord, finally relieved. He slowly covered the back with a black cloth and said, "This mirror's power is boundless, but it's only on the front. Although the back looks menacing, it doesn't harm the person who looks into it!" The Yinshan Ancestor continued, "Actually, the front of this mirror is the Reflecting Desire Mirror. It can reflect the deepest secrets of the person's heart, and it can also bewitch people, making them trapped in the scene within the mirror, unable to extricate themselves, sucked into the mirror, and never able to escape!"

The Beast Demon Lord gasped, thinking to himself, "So that's how it is! Luckily, I didn't make a move!" He then asked, "Ancestor, does this mirror truly possess such wondrous power?"

The Yinshan Ancestor chuckled and said, "This mirror and the Xuanyuan Demon-Subduing Mirror share the same origin, so its power is self-evident. If you don't believe me, wait until Ge Xiaoyao arrives, then you'll see!"

Just then, a little demon hurriedly entered and said, "Reporting to the Ancestor, two men and two women have broken through the air and arrived at the foot of Yinshan!"

"Oh, here they come?" the Yinshan Ancestor chuckled.

The Beast Demon Lord asked, "What kind of people are they?"

The little demon replied, "Two young men, two beautiful women, one of whom is riding a white-headed eagle, and the other three are all flying!"

"Good! It's that kid surnamed Ge!" the Beast Demon Lord immediately exclaimed. Although the little demon had only given a brief description, the white-headed eagle was one Ge Xiaoyao had ridden before, so there was no doubt about it. He then chuckled at the Yinshan Ancestor, "Ancestor, this time it's all up to you! That Ge Xiaoyao's cultivation is above ours!"

The Yinshan Ancestor smiled and said, "It's alright. My Reflecting Desire Mirror, regardless of cultivation level, once he sees the mirror, he enters the mirror's realm. No matter how powerful he is, he can't do anything about it! Alright, I'll go and meet that Ge Xiaoyao, let him taste the power of this Reflecting Desire Mirror!"

At this moment, Ge Xiaoyao, along with Duo Mei, Ling Lei, and Yin Sanji, arrived at the foot of Yinshan. Ge Xiaoyao's Dragon Lotus Power slowly extended, thoroughly surveying the area within a ten-mile radius. He discovered that there were indeed many lesser demons secretly patrolling the Yin Mountain. However, he did not make a move. He knew that since the enemy dared to leave that letter, they must have taken precautions.

He stopped on a low mountain peak and said, "We'll wait here. I'm afraid those Jie Sect fiends already know we're here!"

Duo Mei said, "Brother Ge, what if they use Yu Lu to coerce us into surrendering to them?"

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly and gritted his teeth, "Impossible! These fiends aren't stupid. Why would they make such a condition?! They want my life, Ge Xiaoyao's life! Duo Mei, Lei'er, Xiao San'er, if I agree to all their conditions and make them release Yu Lu first, no matter what happens to me, you must remember to protect yourselves. If I'm no match for them or..., you must immediately flee far away and return to Xiqi to find Brother Jiang to avenge me!"

Duo Mei, Ling Lei, and Yin San were all stunned. They already knew that Ge Xiaoyao had come with the intention of sacrificing himself, and they all hurriedly said, "Brother Ge, if we die, we die together!" "Boss, I won't go alone!"

"Shut up! Listen to me!" Ge Xiaoyao's face was cold and resolute as he said, "Duo Mei, besides me, you have the highest cultivation level. You must protect them and help them retreat!"

"But, brother..." Duo Mei frowned, worried.

Ge Xiaoyao knew he had spoken too harshly, so he smiled and said, "I'm preparing for the worst. Things might not come to that. Besides, I believe that among these Jie Sect prodigies, apart from the Tongtian Sect Ancestor himself, probably no one can control me, Ge Xiaoyao!"

"Is that so?..." A sinister laugh came from afar. The Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord and an old man with gray clothes, gray face, and gray hair and beard rushed over from a distance.

"You wolf demon! If you can't beat me, you can ask for help. You don't need to use such despicable tricks to lure me to Yinshan! Where is Yu Lu?!" Ge Xiaoyao's body was already in mid-air, meeting the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord and the Yinshan Ancestor.

"Haha, if it weren't for this, how could we have met in Yinshan?" The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts laughed wildly, pointing at the Yinshan Ancestor beside him, "You brat surnamed Ge, you're dead this time for meeting the Yinshan Ancestor!"

Ge Xiaoyao ignored the Yinshan Ancestor, not even glancing at him, and simply said, "What have you done to Yulu? Now that I'm here, release her!"

The Yinshan Ancestor chuckled, "You must be Ge Xiaoyao, coming to my Yinshan and being incredibly arrogant! Let me tell you, your precious beauty is in the hands of the Yinshan Ancestor. Whether you release her or not depends on what you have to make me agree!"

At this moment, Ling Lei stepped forward, looked the Yinshan Ancestor up and down, and sneered, "What ancestor, what little ancestor... he looks like a thief, I think he should be called the Yinshan Rat! Brother Ge, don't waste your breath on him here, how can those two monsters be a match for the four of us!" "You brat! What

nonsense are you talking about!" "Upon hearing the term 'Yinshan rat,' the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts was immediately alarmed and roared in anger. Looking at the Yinshan Ancestor, his face had turned deathly pale with rage.

Seeing the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Yinshan Ancestor so enraged, Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself that Ling Lei's words must have hit the nail on the head. He laughed, 'Could it be that this Yinshan Ancestor's true form is indeed a Yinshan rat? Haha… interesting, Ling Lei, this rat and wolf together are nothing more than a weasel. You don't need to lift a finger; I, Brother Ge, can handle it all by myself!'

Amidst their banter, the two thoroughly insulted the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Yinshan Ancestor. Unable to bear it any longer, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts stepped forward, and a surge of black demonic energy transformed into hundreds of ferocious monsters in mid-air, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced on Ge Xiaoyao and his companions. He secretly whispered to the Yinshan Ancestor, 'Ancestor, we can't beat this kid in a battle of cultivation. Quickly release the Mirror of Reflection!'"

Enraged by the insults from Ge Xiaoyao and Ling Lei, the Yinshan Ancestor roared, "You brat, you're courting death!" He stretched out his long arm, a flash of black light, and seized the Reflecting Desire Mirror. Turning it away from himself, he unveiled the mirror's front cover, instantly bathing half the sky in a radiant glow. Meanwhile

, Ge Xiaoyao, seeing the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' demonic power rushing towards him, sneered inwardly. He unleashed his Dragon Lotus True Power, sweeping away dozens of ferocious monsters in front of him, reducing them to ashes. At the same time, Yin San, Ling Lei, and Duo Mei also used their abilities to repel the demonic energy-manifested monsters.

Then, Ge Xiaoyao coldly watched as the Yinshan Ancestor took out a strange mirror. Upon looking into it, countless rays of light shone forth. He thought to himself, "What a powerful magic weapon!" Thinking to himself that he had to rely on his Dragon Immortal Platform to fight back, he was about to unleash it when the sky was suddenly enveloped in a radiant glow. His vision blurred, and all he could see was the red light.

Ge Xiaoyao felt a chill run down his spine. His Dragon Lotus True Power automatically activated, forming a thick shield of true power within a two-zhang radius around him, as a precaution. He had initially assumed the Yinshan Ancestor would use the Mirror Light to project his image and then launch a sneak attack with demonic power, but strangely, after a while, he didn't see any demonic magic weapons or artifacts attacking him.

At this moment, the red light slowly dissipated, and Ge Xiaoyao gradually regained his sight. However, to his utter astonishment, the hillsides, vegetation, the hordes of demonic beasts, and the Yinshan Ancestor were nowhere to be seen. He found himself suspended in mid-air, looking down at a familiar street. The sign for "Ge's Medical Clinic" fluttered in the wind and rain, and the distant honking of car horns could be heard.

"Damn it! How could this be!" Ge Xiaoyao suddenly felt his body plummet, falling from mid-air. Looking back, he realized he had just been standing on a rooftop. Four menacing, dark-faced men were now peering out, one of them a burly man with a full beard, laughing maniacally!

A thought flashed through Ge Xiaoyao's mind: "Isn't this the place where those gangsters forced me to jump off a building back then?"

"Damn it!" Ge Xiaoyao cursed under his breath, his Dragon Lotus True Power slamming downwards to the ground, striking a black Audi parked there. "You're unlucky!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, using the rebound force to propel himself upwards, instantly leaping back onto the rooftop.

The rain continued to drizzle. Ge Xiaoyao was soaked to the bone. He wiped the rain from his face and exhaled a heavy breath.

"

Haha...this Mirror of Desire is truly powerful! Ancestor...have these people already been sucked into the mirror?" The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts withdrew his demonic power and laughed heartily. At this moment, on the opposite hillside, Ge Xiaoyao and the others were enveloped by the myriad rays of light from the Mirror of Desire and vanished without a trace. The

Yinshan Ancestor also laughed wildly, "Of course! I think this time they can get in, but they can't get out!"

"Excellent! Ancestor...I will report this to the Patriarch and award you a great merit!" said the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The Yinshan Ancestor put away the Reflecting Desire Mirror and laughed, "Demon Lord, don't be so eager to claim credit. You should know that this Reflecting Desire Mirror needs forty-nine hours to exhaust those it absorbs. Then I can capture them from the mirror and present them to the Ancestor. Wouldn't that be better?"

Chapter 241 Lord of the Realm of Desire (Part 1)

The Beast Demon Lord and the Yinshan Ancestor used the Reflecting Desire Mirror to capture Ge Xiaoyao and the others, and returned to the Yinshan Palace. The Yinshan Ancestor hosted a banquet, and the Beast Demon Lord, Qi Lian, and the Yinshan demons all drank heartily, celebrating their extraordinary achievement.

During the banquet, the Yinshan Ancestor suddenly said, "That Ge Xiaoyao seems to have a background that even the Ancestor can't figure out, and the Ancestor seems to value him highly. I wonder what his origins are?"

"Who cares about his origins! As long as I capture him and report back, that's enough. Come... Ancestor, let's drink!" The Beast Demon Lord raised his cup.

"Alright! Let's drink..." The Yinshan Ancestor thought for a moment and agreed with the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts. It wasn't his business, so why bother? He smiled, raised his cup, and drank it all in one gulp. Meanwhile

, as the demons celebrated their victory, Ge Xiaoyao's reflection in the Mirror of Desire presented a different picture.

"Hmph...didn't expect that, did you..." Ge Xiaoyao wiped the rain from his face, chuckling coldly as he walked step by step towards the burly men.

These men were all longtime gangsters, desperate criminals. Seeing Ge Xiaoyao leap back from mid-air and seemingly smash a car, their eight eyes widened like glass marbles, as if they had seen an alien.

"Hmph, you think you can bully me just because you outnumber me?! I won't fall for that!" Ge Xiaoyao's Dragon Lotus True Power condensed into a giant blade gleaming with a bewitching red light before him. The blade, like a burning, leaping flame, pointed directly at the burly men. "You're a bunch of trash, a bunch of garbage! You can't do anything but fight and kill! You're nothing! I think you should just die!"

Ge Xiaoyao roared, and the crimson giant blade slashed fiercely at the burly men who had begun to retreat in fear.

"Ah... Grandpa Ge, spare me! Grandpa Ge, spare me..." The crimson giant blade was pointed at the head of the burly man with a full beard, but it didn't strike. The bearded man's face turned deathly pale, and he threw his machete to the ground, kneeling down with a thud, begging for mercy.

The other three also threw down their iron rods and machetes, and immediately knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Hmph... You're only begging for mercy now? Isn't it a bit too late?!" Ge Xiaoyao sneered, arms crossed. The crimson flame giant blade formed from Dragon Lotus True Power descended slightly, its sharp blade energy instantly slicing a gash across the bearded man's forehead.

The bearded man screamed like a pig being slaughtered, while the others trembled like leaves, unable to even utter a clear plea for mercy.

Looking at the several strong, burly men groveling before him like dogs, Ge Xiaoyao suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. After a moment's thought, he suddenly said, "Go, call your ugly third daughters, and go find your Green Dragon Gang boss!"

In a corner of the small town, on a secluded street almost deserted, a somewhat old building was brightly lit. From the outside, one could hear a cacophony of noise inside. This was the headquarters of the Black Dragon Gang, and also the largest underground casino in the small town.

The Black Dragon Gang's boss—"Black Dragon"—sat in his office, elegantly manicuring his nails. "Where did that kid Ge Xiaoyao run off to? Why doesn't he come back to play? Looks like I, his big brother, have to go and invite him?" Heilong hadn't seen Ge Xiaoyao for a few days, and he really missed him.

The door banged open, and one of his underlings rushed in, "Big brother, something big has happened!"

Heilong stood up abruptly, "What is it? The cops are here?" He thought it was the police. Although he had already bribed the local security chief, according to his informant, the mastermind behind the Green Dragon Gang was a higher-level official, who had put a lot of pressure on his legitimate backers here. So, his biggest worry lately was the police getting involved.

"No...no..." the underling said nervously, "It's the...the Azure Dragon Gang!"

"The Azure Dragon Gang?" Black Dragon's face hardened. "Those bastards again! What happened to them?"

The underling finally calmed down a bit and said, "Boss, the Azure Dragon Gang suddenly spread the word that, following Master Ge Xiaoyao's orders, they've permanently withdrawn from this city and will never set foot here again!"

This news was like a thunderbolt to Black Dragon. He shuddered, but then suddenly shook his head and laughed, "Master Ge Xiaoyao? Haha...this kid, why is he making fun of me again..." He then said to the underling, "Where is that kid Ge Xiaoyao? Quickly bring him to see me!"

Seeing that Black Dragon didn't believe him, the underling said urgently, "It's true, Boss...I just took the brothers to the Azure Dragon's lair, and the Azure Dragon Gang really has withdrawn! As for Brother Ge San, we don't know where he went..."

"Oh?..." Black Dragon frowned and suddenly said, "Send more people to inquire, firstly about the Azure Dragon Gang's whereabouts, and secondly about Ge Xiaoyao's whereabouts! I need accurate information before nightfall!"

"Yes, Boss!" The henchman hurried out.

Black Dragon looked up at the gloomy sky outside the window, then sighed deeply, muttering, "Ge Xiaoyao... Ge Xiaoyao..."

The news that came was that the Green Dragon Gang had mysteriously disbanded, supposedly on Ge Xiaoyao's orders. Ge Xiaoyao had inexplicably disappeared from the city, and no one knew where he went.

For the Black Dragon Gang, this was undoubtedly a great joy, but for Black Dragon, it became an unsolvable mystery.

Ge Xiaoyao stood in front of a green security door. This door was so familiar; he could even pinpoint when he had accidentally knocked off the peeling varnish. "Building 2, Unit 3, Room 202, Yaxin Residential Area," Ge Xiaoyao's former home.

Ge Xiaoyao hesitated for a long time, took a deep breath, and finally rang the doorbell.

A soft, melodious female voice came from inside, "Who is it?"

"Brother Ge!" The door opened, and the beautiful woman suddenly hugged Ge Xiaoyao, tears streaming down her face.

"Yu'er, I'm sorry..." Ge Xiaoyao said, "I'm late!"

Chu Yu pouted, "Late is late... why apologize! Humph..." She released Ge Xiaoyao and turned to leave.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled bitterly to himself, thinking, "How much better! Just an apology. Why didn't I say it back then?"

In a flash, Chu Yu was gone, leaving only an empty house and a security door with peeling green paint.

A child was practicing guitar, and Ge Xiaoyao recognized the tune—"How Much Love Can Be Relived."

Ge Xiaoyao stood there, listening intently. He noticed a slight off-key note in the middle of the piece. Mistakes could be corrected, but what about emotions? He thought...

Hundred Herbs Mountain, Saintess Peak, the Eastern Barbarian Holy Sect.

Duo Mei's long hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn, and blood was still flowing from the wound on her shoulder inflicted by Shi Ji's demonic energy. Zi Lingyan was already severely injured, and the heavy responsibility of fighting Shi Ji fell on her shoulders. Seeing the Holy Sect's female disciples fall one by one under the claws of Shi Ji's demons, her eyes turned bloodshot, her teeth clenched, and she took a deep breath, "Shi Ji, I'll fight you to the death!" She hurled her long sword, chanting an incantation, and the sword suddenly flashed, transforming into thousands of venomous snakes that lunged at Shi Ji. "Ten Thousand Snakes Emerge! No..." Zi Lingyan, who was lying injured, suddenly cried out, but at this moment, Duo Mei had exhausted all her true energy and collapsed to the ground.

Shi Ji and the demons were bitten by the thousands of venomous snakes and instantly turned into wisps of smoke, their souls and spirits annihilated. "The Holy Sect is saved, but Duo Mei, you..." Zi Lingyan was overwhelmed with grief and finally fainted.

Yin San ran forward swiftly, desperately, as if a venomous snake or ferocious beast was chasing him. "No, I can't do this, I can't do this..." he murmured, panting heavily. Ahead was a river, and Yin San leaped in. His ghostly body was like nothingness, not even a splash. The beastly desire in his heart tormented him, and the image of Consort Zhuang's beautiful face, her smooth, white body, and her seductive moans of pleasure still appeared in his mind... "No! I, Yin San, am not that kind of person. She is a good person, I won't harm her..." The river water was icy, stimulating his weak spirit. Finally, a drop of water seeped into his body, and an endless chill surged through him. Yet Yin San smiled, "Brother Ge, I, Yin San, finally restrained myself... I no longer have to feel guilty towards Consort Zhuang..." His body gradually melted into the water, fading away bit by bit...

"Sister Ling Lei... how is it you?" Yan Qiang looked at the fairy-like Ling Lei. Ling Lei's body seemed somewhat ethereal, a faint smile appearing on her beautiful face: "Sister Yanqiang, it's me!"

Yanqiang was somewhat agitated, "Sister, why did you die in my place?... You shouldn't have done it, Brother Ge should be with you!" She finally uttered these words, words that had been buried deep in her heart, words she would never have had the chance to tell Ling Lei. Although she had changed her name to Ling Lei, she could never change her identity as Yanqiang.

"Sister, don't be sad, it was actually what I should do... Do you still remember the former First Consort of the Shang Palace, Consort Shu, Yan Yun?" Ling Lei said softly. Yanqiang was startled.

Thinking of Yan Yun, her hatred surged. She would never forget the inhuman torture she had endured in the Cold Palace. "How could I not remember? I will never forget how she treated me!"

"I'm sorry, sister, I didn't want to... but... but it wasn't something I could control..." Tears welled up in Ling Lei's eyes, and she choked back a sob, "Yan Yun... was... my past life!"

"What?" Yanqiang's eyes widened in disbelief.

“I’ve wanted to tell you for a long time… but I couldn’t muster the courage. I was afraid you would hate me, look down on me… You are a dragon maiden, and I am just an orphan from Cangmang Mountain…”

Yanqiang was speechless, not knowing what she was feeling.

“So, you don’t need to feel guilty for dying in my place… It’s all fate, consider it my atonement for my past life…” Ling Lei said slowly, “Forgive me… Yanqiang!” The tear finally slid down, crystal clear, flawless…

Yanqiang remained speechless, murmuring to herself, unable to believe it was real, “Sister… why…” She suddenly felt so tired, and Ling Lei’s figure gradually blurred before her eyes, finally falling into a deep sleep…

Ge Xiaoyao slowly woke up, his body exhausted, not knowing how long he had slept or how strange his dream had been. He seemed to have dreamed of the bearded man, the black dragon, and Chu Yu. His supreme profound skill was running automatically, and the Dragon Lotus True Power continuously replenished his strength, gradually restoring his energy.

"Boy... how did you get here?" A tall man suddenly appeared before him, with deep blue eyes, fiery red hair, bronze skin, and a robust physique, his voice booming and powerful.

Ge Xiaoyao shook his head, only then realizing that he seemed to have been sucked into the ancient mirror of the Yinshan Ancestor by the myriad rays of light. Was all of this an illusion?

The man's voice rang out again. Ge Xiaoyao shook his head; he truly didn't know how he had arrived here, or even where he was. All around was emptiness, nothingness, not even a wall; everywhere was transparent void. Only the man before him seemed real.

"Who are you? Where is this?" Ge Xiaoyao raised his face and asked in return. He never liked answering strangers' questions first; it made him feel passive and at a disadvantage.

"Hahaha..." The man suddenly burst into wild laughter, "This is the Realm of Desire, and I am the Lord of this Realm of Desire!"

"The Realm of Desire, the Lord of the Realm of Desire? What kind of place is this? Who is he?" Ge Xiaoyao still asked, unfazed by the man's wild laughter.

Chapter 242 The Lord of the Realm of Desire (Part 2)

The man said, "This is the Realm of Desire, and I am its master, Yi Zhuo!"

"So his name is Yi Zhuo! Why does he look like a savage!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, looking around, but still seeing only empty space, he said, "Alright, since you are the master here, you should know how to get out!"

Yi Zhuo laughed wildly, but a trace of sorrow appeared on his face: "Boy, now that you're in, do you still want to get out?"

"Why wouldn't I want to get out? Although I inexplicably entered this place, I have to find a way to get out! Besides, my family is waiting for me to save them outside!" Ge Xiaoyao frowned.

"Hahaha... What a joke, I've only ever seen people enter this Realm of Desire, never seen anyone leave!" Yi Zhuo laughed wildly again, his deep blue eyes glaring intently at Ge Xiaoyao.

Facing that gaze, Ge Xiaoyao showed no fear. "Why?"

Yi Zhuo laughed wildly, "Because I, Yi Zhuo, the master of the Void Desire Realm, am here! I've eaten all those people as snacks!" He then suddenly shook his head and sighed, "But, three hundred years have passed, and not a single snack has come in!"

Ge Xiaoyao was startled, thinking to himself that this person must be some kind of demon, waiting here specifically for people to come and die! He sneered, "Are you planning to eat me too?"

Yi Zhuo was surprised, "Most people who come here are either panicked or driven mad with fear. I've never seen anyone as calm as you… So, eating you isn't in a hurry. It's been a long time since I've spoken to anyone. Let me tell you a story first!"

"Eat me? Not so easy!" Ge Xiaoyao chuckled inwardly, then sat cross-legged in the void. "Fine, then I'll listen to you finish your story and see if you can actually get me or not!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Yi Zhuo's eyes, and he couldn't help but glance at Ge Xiaoyao again, a hint of joy flickering in his eyes. He also sat down and said, "Boy, listen carefully! Back then, in the Great Wilderness Era of the Universe, before Heaven and Earth and the Human World had formed, my brother Yi Qing and I were originally connected. Who knew that a mere brat would separate us with a giant axe? He even sealed our primordial spirits into two mirrors. This is my original..." "God, he probably doesn't know that although I was sealed inside this mirror, I still retain my divine power and have actually created a illusory realm here all by myself!"

Yi Zhuo spoke in a muddled manner, and Ge Xiaoyao listened in a muddled manner as well. However, as Ge Xiaoyao listened, a thought suddenly struck him. "Damn! Could it be that the Great Wilderness Era was the Chaos Era, the story of Pangu separating heaven and earth?" He immediately frowned and laughed, "That's an old story, no need to tell me that. Next, it must be that your body, Yi Zhuo, became the earth, and Yi Qing's body became the sky, and Pangu... he also died easily, his whole body turning into the sun, moon, rivers, and land, right?"

"Eh..." Yi Zhuo was even more surprised, "Kid, how do you know? Did you witness the great battle back then?"

"It seems Yi Zhuo's brain isn't quite as sharp. Even children can tell these ancient myths, how could I not know them?" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself. However, seeing Yi Zhuo's serious question, he decided to tease them a little. He pretended to be profound and said, "You three brats, you dare to show off your dirty deeds! Back then, you took advantage of my sleep to fight, causing such a huge disaster. Although you created this world, desires never cease, and conflicts never stop. It's all because of you three brats, making me worry about you even at my age!"

"Ah? You are..." Yi Zhuo suddenly exclaimed in surprise, his voice trembling slightly.

Ge Xiaoyao smiled slightly and stopped talking. Seeing that Yi Zhuo actually believed his nonsense, he quickly stopped while he was ahead to avoid revealing his true colors.

"Master Zulong... is it really you?!" Yi Zhuo asked in surprise.

Ge Xiaoyao remained smiling and silent. He thought to himself, "This time, it seems I've stumbled upon the right thing. How did this turbid fellow mistake me for some Ancestral Dragon? It even sounds like he might be his master. But how can I cover up this colossal lie?"

At that moment, the Lord of the Realm of Desire, Yi Zhuo, suddenly stood up, knelt down abruptly, and cried out in a pitiful voice, "Ancestral Dragon Master, you've finally come! Please save your disciple!"

Ge Xiaoyao was slightly taken aback, thinking, "What's wrong with this guy? One minute he's incredibly arrogant, calling himself the master of this damned Realm of Desire, and the next... " "They want to rescue him again... there must be something fishy going on. Why not try to trick him again!" Ge Xiaoyao made up his mind, but his face remained impassive. He chuckled and asked, "Yi Zhuo, aren't you supposed to be the master of this Void Desire Realm? What are you going out for?"

Yi Zhuo, the master of the Void Desire Realm, now recognized Ge Xiaoyao as his master, Zu Long, and immediately said, "Just now, I didn't recognize my master's true face and spoke arrogantly. Please forgive me, Master. This Void Desire Realm was just something I used to scare those who entered the mirror. In truth, I've been sealed by this ancient mirror for billions of years, and it's been unbearable!"

"So this guy was just bluffing! I almost fell for his trick! If I don't teach him a lesson this time and make him help me get rid of this demonic mirror, I'll be letting him off easy!" Thinking this, Ge Xiaoyao said, "Yi Zhuo, after staying here for billions of years, haven't you figured out how to break the mirror? With your talent, there's no way you couldn't have! I didn't save the three of you back then because I was testing you!"

"So Master had good intentions; I was ignorant. I have indeed figured out how to break the mirror, but… but…" Yi Zhuo hesitated.

"But what?" Ge Xiaoyao drawled.

"But what I've figured out is that the mirror is me, and I am the mirror. To break the mirror, you must first break yourself…" Yi Zhuo finally said.

Ge Xiaoyao inwardly groaned, "Damn it! After all this thinking, I've come up with a way to commit suicide. If everyone just commits suicide, what's the point of doctors?!" But he remained outwardly calm. After a moment's thought,

he casually uttered in a mysterious tone, "Breaking is self-destruction, self-destruction is not breaking, one's own desires are not broken, so one borrows from others..." In truth, Ge Xiaoyao himself didn't quite understand the meaning of his words. As for whether Yi Zhuo could comprehend them, that was up to fate.

"If you can't break your own desires, borrow them from others..." Yi Zhuo muttered to himself for a while, then suddenly beamed with joy and said, "Thank you, Master! I finally understand. It's a pity that I ate all those people in my anger!"

Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, "So this guy really did eat people!" He then asked, "Have you really figured it out? How can you break free from the mirror?"

Yi Zhuo immediately replied, "Master said, 'If you can't break your own desires, borrow them from others.' Doesn't that mean I should use my original spirit to merge into someone else's body? Then, when I'm no longer in this mirror, it will naturally break... At that time, I will have become someone else's body, and of course, I will be indestructible!"

"Heh... this guy is really not stupid!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, then suddenly remembered the hundred dragon immortals who had also resided in his body. After he condensed his true form with the power of the dragon immortals, the broken sword dragon was also destroyed. Isn't that the same principle? Ge Xiaoyao secretly rejoiced, "Yi Zhuo, it seems your eons of arduous cultivation haven't been in vain! You've truly grasped the essence of self-destruction and immortality!"

Hearing Ge Xiaoyao's praise, Yi Zhuo's face lit up with joy, but he suddenly frowned, "I have grasped it, but whose body should I borrow to break the mirror?"

"Damn it, so stupid... It's right here, yet so far away! I can do it myself! Besides, the Dragon Platform is still within my own body, perfect for borrowing!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, then smiled slightly, "Yi Zhuo, since I released the three of you, I've reincarnated and cultivated. Now I'm the mortal Ge Xiaoyao, and this body can accommodate you temporarily!"

Yi Zhuo was startled and quickly said happily, "Thank you, Master!"

Ge Xiaoyao was actually sweating bullets, unsure what would happen if Yi Zhuo entered his body. However, since he was already inside the demon mirror and even Yi Zhuo couldn't break it, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't very well be trapped inside with this guy and die. "Fortune favors the bold," Ge Xiaoyao thought of his motto. Only by summoning his courage and trying what Yi Zhuo had suggested could he hope for a miracle. He immediately said, "Yi Zhuo, since you have achieved enlightenment, let's not delay. Enter my body! There's a void in my shoulder blade, originally a place to store magical treasures… You can stay there temporarily!"

Yi Zhuo was overjoyed and knelt down to kowtow, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Master!"

"Come!" Ge Xiaoyao slowly closed his eyes, concentrating his energy, preparing for Yi Zhuo to enter his body while secretly gathering Dragon Lotus True Power to prevent Yi Zhuo from causing trouble.

In truth, Yi Zhuo was only half-convinced that Ge Xiaoyao was the Ancestral Dragon Master. His repeated use of "Master" was merely a precaution in case he truly was. Now, seeing that he could enter Ge Xiaoyao's body, he thought to himself, "Hmph, brat, who am I, Yi Zhuo? Once I enter your body, I'll naturally know whether you are the real Ancestral Dragon Master. If you are, fine; if not… hehe, watch me break your bones!"

Each with their own thoughts, they remained silent, concentrating their minds.

A short while later, Yi Zhuo, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and said, "Master, I'm in!" As he spoke, his enormous body slowly transformed into a wisp of white mist, gently slipping into Ge Xiaoyao's shoulder blade.

Upon entering Ge Xiaoyao's body, he was already seven or eight parts convinced that Ge Xiaoyao was the reincarnation of the Ancestral Dragon. This was because Ge Xiaoyao's Dragon Immortal Power and Red Lotus Power, combined to form the Dragon Lotus True Power, was neither too strong nor too weak, seemingly calm on the surface, but in reality, it was as fierce as thunder. It was vastly different from divine power, which was why Yi Zhuo had mistaken it for the Ancestral Dragon's innate divine power. Although for Yi Zhuo, this divine power was merely a tiny speck, less than a tenth of his original spirit's cultivation, he didn't take it seriously since Ge Xiaoyao claimed to be the reincarnation of the Ancestral Dragon.

A deep void appeared before Yi Zhuo. "He really didn't lie to me. I wonder what kind of magic treasure he's hiding inside. This time I'm going to have a feast for the eyes!" Yi Zhuo thought to himself with delight. Without hesitation, a wisp of his original spirit floated into that void.

In the void, identical to the void in the mirror, only utterly dark, Yi Zhuo drifted forward. Suddenly, a golden light flickered before his eyes, revealing a delicate jade platform slowly drifting and rotating in the void. "Ah, the Dragon Immortal Platform... truly, it is the Ancestral Dragon Master!" At this moment, he was absolutely convinced that Ge Xiaoyao was the reincarnation of the Ancestral Dragon.

In truth, Ge Xiaoyao was unaware that the Dragon Immortal Platform he had obtained from the bottom of Jishi Mountain by the Wei River was the creation artifact of the ancient Ancestral Dragon God. However, the Ancestral Dragon had sworn an oath many years ago, and even the then Third Prince of Dragons, Long Yixiao, did not know the origin of the Dragon Immortal Platform, let alone the ancient dragon immortals and Ge Xiaoyao.

However, Yi Zhuo, having followed the Ancestral Dragon for many years, recognized it at a glance as the Ancestral Dragon Master's indestructible artifact—the Dragon Immortal Platform.

Ge Xiaoyao never imagined that he had won the lottery by sheer luck, his casual remark becoming so convincingly true! Of course, he was unaware of Yi Zhuo's thoughts. He only felt relieved when he saw Yi Zhuo enter the void within his body. Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly felt the void of the Realm of Desire shake violently. He lost his footing and his body suddenly spun upside down. However, there was no distinction between up, down, left, and right in this void, so although Ge Xiaoyao was upside down, he did not feel uncomfortable. He only noticed that the vibration of the void was getting stronger and stronger, as if it was about to crack.

"Master, this mirror is about to break, and the Void Desire Realm will also cease to exist! Just close your eyes and meditate, don't panic!" A turbid voice suddenly reached Ge Xiaoyao's ears. It turned out that the turbid voice held his master, the Ancestral Dragon, in high esteem. He believed that Ge Xiaoyao was the reincarnation of the Ancestral Dragon, and seeing that his divine power was weak, he spoke up to show his concern.

Ge Xiaoyao agreed and closed his eyes to concentrate. He felt the tremor growing stronger and stronger. Suddenly, he heard a loud bang, and his body was thrown into the air. Before he even opened his eyes, he felt a cool mountain breeze blowing on his face.

Chapter 243 The Lord of the Void Desire Realm (Part 2)

At this moment, in the Yinshan Palace, the Yinshan Ancestor and the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord were laughing strangely at the Duo Mei, Ling Lei, and Yin San that they had just captured. "The Ancestor's treasure mirror is truly boundless in power. Capturing these people is as easy as taking candy from a baby!" said the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord.

The Yinshan Ancestor, pleased by the flattery of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord, said smugly, "That brat Ge Xiaoyao is indeed impressive, managing to hold out for so long. However… I think he'll be out soon!"

It turned out that once absorbed into the Desire-Reflecting Mirror, one would experience illusory desires, becoming deeply trapped and unable to extricate oneself. Eventually, the mirror would drain one's energy, causing one to fall out and become helpless.

"Ancestor, why did the Master tell us not to harm these people?" the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord asked with a sly grin. In truth, he had long coveted the beauty of Duo Mei, Ling Lei, and Yu Lu, but had refrained from doing so because of the strict orders from the Tongtian Sect Ancestor.

The Yinshan Ancestor, a rat spirit from Yinshan, was also an extremely lustful demon. Seeing such celestial beauties, how could he not be tempted? However, his cultivation was profound, and having been a demon for many years, his self-control was far stronger than the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord's. He immediately said, "Actually, they're of no use to us. But they're probably all that old codger Yuanshi Tianzun's favorite fellow Daoists. The Patriarch is probably using them as hostages to negotiate with Yuanshi Tianzun!"

The Beast Demon Lord nodded, no longer looking at the motionless Duo Mei and the others lying on the ground, but instead said to the Yinshan Ancestor, "Eh, why hasn't Ge Xiaoyao come out yet!"

At this moment, the Yinshan Ancestor had already placed the Yingyu Demon Mirror on the mirror stand in the Yinshan Palace. He smiled slightly and said, "Demon Lord, don't worry, it should be soon. The forty-nine hours are almost up!"

Just then, the Yingyu Demon Mirror suddenly swayed, almost falling off the mirror stand. Fortunately, the Yinshan Ancestor was quick-witted and caught it, but his face instantly changed color, and he muttered, "Not good!", because at this moment, the mirror was shaking violently, and the red light emitted by the demon mirror was gradually fading.

"Ancestor, what's wrong?" The Beast Demon Lord asked hurriedly when he saw the change in the Yinshan Ancestor's expression.

"I don't know... The strange phenomenon appearing in the mirror must be Ge Xiaoyao playing tricks within it..." said the Yinshan Ancestor. At this moment, the Demon Mirror of Reflection shook violently again. He pondered for a moment and then said, "Demon Lord, things are probably not good! How about this, you take these four back to Tongtian Peak first, and I will cast a spell to suppress the mirror. If we capture Ge Xiaoyao, we will personally send him to Tongtian Palace. If we cannot capture Ge Xiaoyao, we will at least be able to give the Patriarch an explanation!"

The Myriad Beasts Demon Lord's heart tightened. He knew that the Yinshan Ancestor... The Yinshan Ancestor, being extremely arrogant, would never have made such an arrangement unless the situation was extremely dangerous. He immediately said, "Very well, then everything depends on you, Ancestor!"

At this moment, the Yinshan Ancestor chanted a demonic incantation to barely suppress the Reflecting Desire Demon Mirror, and said to the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord, "Demon Lord, hurry up, or it will be too late!"

The Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord also knew the urgency of the situation, and immediately said, "Ancestor, take care!" He opened his mouth and blew out a gust of demonic wind, which swept up Duo Mei, Ling Lei, Yin San, and Yu Lu, and rushed out of the Yinshan Palace.

At this time, the Qi Lian Saints had already received a secret message from the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord: "Keep an eye on the Yinshan Ancestor. If he does anything improper, immediately return to Tongtian Peak to report!"

At this moment, the Yinshan Ancestor could not care about anything else. He firmly placed the Reflecting Desire Demon Mirror on the mirror stand, and then sat cross-legged in meditation, using the demonic power to suppress the mirror. Before long, black mist filled his head, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans slid down his forehead.

The Yinshan Ancestor, having obtained the Reflecting Desire Mirror, also acquired the Mirror-Suppressing Incantation. However, no matter how he recited the incantation forwards, backwards, sideways, or vertically, the Reflecting Desire Mirror continued to vibrate, causing its stone frame to hum loudly.

Suddenly, the trembling abruptly stopped, becoming completely still. The Yinshan Ancestor was secretly delighted and rushed forward to investigate, only to see the mirror suddenly vibrate violently, followed by a deafening explosion.

Initially, the Yinshan Ancestor assumed his Mirror-Suppressing Incantation had worked when the mirror stopped vibrating, never expecting it to suddenly shatter. Caught off guard, he was struck by countless shards of glass, feeling an immense force surge towards him. A sharp pain shot through his body, and looking down, he saw severed limbs flying everywhere. He realized he had been torn apart by the force of the exploding mirror. With a scream in mid-air, he knew nothing more.

Suddenly, the entire Yinshan Palace was blown apart by a tremendous shockwave. Debris flew everywhere, dust filled the sky, and the cries and screams of countless lesser demons echoed across the area.

Just as the Demon Mirror shattered, the two sages, Qi and Lian, were standing outside the Tongtian Palace, peering inside to check on the Yinshan Ancestor's movements. They were also instantly blasted away by the massive blast. The Calligraphy Sage, Murong Xuan, with his lower cultivation, was propelled into the air by the shockwave and crashed to the ground, instantly shattering to pieces and dying. The Medicine Sage, Zuoqiu Ran, though cunning by nature, possessed a higher cultivation level. Seeing the sudden turn of events, he immediately used his demonic power to protect himself. Although he too was propelled into the air by the shockwave and crashed to the ground, he was unharmed and barely survived.

However, his bad luck continued. Although he didn't die from the fall, his protective demonic energy dissipated upon impact. Just as he was about to catch his breath, a massive flying boulder from the collapsing Yinshan Palace struck his leg, causing him excruciating pain and rendering him unconscious.

After a long while, the dust kicked up by the collapse of Yinshan Palace slowly settled. Suddenly, a figure flew out of the ruins, the setting sun in the mountains as fierce as blood, casting the figure's silhouette as tall as a colossal shadow…

The Demon King of Ten Thousand Beasts, who had already left Yinshan Palace, was carrying Duo Mei and the other three with great difficulty, moving much slower. Before they even left Yinshan, they heard a loud crash from behind, followed by the sight of a huge cloud of dust rising from Tongtian Palace. “It’s over…” He felt a chill in his heart. He wanted to go back to help, but remembering the words of the Yinshan Ancestor, he changed his mind and said, “It’s better to hurry back to Tongtian Palace to see the Ancestor!” He then forcefully carried Duo Mei and the others and rushed forward.

Night had fallen, and the ruins of Yinshan Palace were a scene of utter devastation.

“Hey… Stop pretending to be dead! Get up!” Zuo Qiuran had just woken up from the pain and hadn’t even opened his eyes when he heard a familiar voice.

"Ah... Ge Xiaoyao..." Zuo Qiuran was shocked and tried to escape, but one of his legs was pinned down by a boulder, rendering him unable to move. He quickly changed his tone, "Grandpa Ge... spare my life, Grandpa Ge..."

Ge Xiaoyao smiled coldly, squatted down beside Zuo Qiuran, and laughed, "I can spare you, but you must tell me where the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts took Duo Mei and the others!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Ge..." Zuo Qiuran's injured leg was throbbing with pain. Seeing that his life was in danger, he had no courage to fight Ge Xiaoyao. He immediately said, "Grandpa Ge... that wild wolf took the three girls and that grandfather back to Tongtian Peak!"

"Tongtian Peak?" Ge Xiaoyao asked doubtfully.

Zuo Qiuran hurriedly said, "Tongtian Peak is the place of the Tongtian Sect Ancestor..."

"How long have they been gone?" Ge Xiaoyao asked again.

"They just left! He was with four people, and they flew slowly. They've probably only just left Yinshan!" Zuo Qiuran said.

Ge Xiaoyao nodded and asked Zuo Qiuran, "Which direction is Tongtian Peak?"

Zuo Qiuran pointed west and said, "Tongtian Peak is three thousand li to the west!"

Ge Xiaoyao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Good! Seeing that you're honest, I'll let you go. However... if you do evil again, I will not spare you!"

"Thank you, Grandpa Ge, thank you, Grandpa..." Zuo Qiuran hurriedly said.

Ge Xiaoyao sneered, and his Dragon Lotus True Power slowly surged out, removing the large rock from Zuo Qiuran's leg.

Zuo Qiuran was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Ge..." But before he could finish the word "Grandpa," he felt a sudden tightness throughout his body, followed by hundreds of enormous forces pulling his limbs outwards.

He looked up and saw Ge Xiaoyao's cold, smiling face, and his heart sank. He shouted, "Ge Xiaoyao, you..."

Before he could finish his curse, a bloody, severed leg was already placed in front of him—his own.

A scream rang out.

Ge Xiaoyao sneered, and his Dragon Lotus True Power immediately swirled, pulverizing the corpse. "I told you, I would skin you alive, tear you apart, and grind you to dust!" With that, he leaped into the air and headed west, disappearing instantly into the vast night.

"Boy, well done! This kind of villain deserves to be torn to pieces!" In the blink of an eye, Ge Xiaoyao had crossed two mountain peaks. A faint voice reached his ears; it was the turbid spirit that had emerged from the Mirror of Desire and was residing within him.

Ge Xiaoyao's heart skipped a beat, a sense of foreboding rising within him. "Yi Zhuo, how dare you be so disrespectful to me?" Ge Xiaoyao said.

"Hehe..." Yi Zhuo let out a strange laugh, "Although your past life was my master, that's no longer the case. Moreover, I've discovered that your body is extremely powerful, a perfect vessel for me to possess... Master, since you've already reincarnated for many years, a few more reincarnations won't hurt. Why not just give me this body..."

"Yi Zhuo, how dare you!" Ge Xiaoyao roared.

Yi Zhuo chuckled, but his voice suddenly became incredibly domineering, "Ancestral Dragon... don't be ungrateful! I, Yi Zhuo, have had enough of you! If you obediently hand over this body now, I'll spare you a complete original spirit out of respect for your past as my master. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and forcibly taking it!"

"You beast, how dare you betray your sect?!" Ge Xiaoyao raged. He impersonated Ancestral Dragon, the master of Yi Zhuo, and had unknowingly grown accustomed to speaking in his master's tone.

"Hehe..." Yi Zhuo let out a sinister laugh, "Then don't blame me... I will gradually erode your spiritual tears... Three years later, Ancestral Dragon will disappear from this world, and only Yi Zhuo will remain!"

"What?" Ge Xiaoyao was shocked and said hatefully, "You wicked creature, don't even think about it!" He quickly channeled his supreme profound skill, and the Dragon Lotus True Power within his body surged rapidly to his shoulders, preparing to seal off the void, but he felt a powerful force blocking him, and the Dragon Lotus True Power was quickly repelled. "

Hahaha... You brat, you dare to deceive me! You are not my master, Ancestral Dragon, reincarnation at all, and your true power is not Ancestral Dragon's divine power!" Yi Zhuo suddenly burst into wild laughter.

"Damn it! He saw through me!" Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself, but he calmed down. "So what if he didn't see through me? This Yi Zhuo is still going to betray his master and ancestors. There's no point in reasoning with such a villain!"

Ge Xiaoyao desperately tried to seal off the void, but his Dragon Lotus True Power was no match for the strange power emanating from Yi Zhuo. As Ge Xiaoyao was shocked, he suddenly felt a movement in his spiritual sense, a chill rushing to his brain. His consciousness was suddenly filled with many things, all of them endless bloodshed and slaughter in the void.

"Haha... kid, I've finally infiltrated your original spirit, but don't panic. I will gradually possess all your spiritual sense until three years later." Yi Zhuo laughed strangely. "Don't worry, there won't be any pain, and I will never speak to you again. However, during these three years, you will slowly feel the changes in yourself. Of course, your damn true power is so weak, I will also help you slowly weaken it!"

"Yi Zhuo, I won't let you succeed!" Ge Xiaoyao gritted his teeth.

The only response was a loud, maniacal laugh, followed by silence.

Ge Xiaoyao used his spiritual sense to examine the void, only to find that it no longer existed. The Dragon Immortal Platform had detached and sunk into his dantian, still spinning.

No matter how Ge Xiaoyao called out, the maniacal remained silent. However, Ge Xiaoyao suddenly recalled the scene of killing the Medical Saint Zuo Qiuran, and a faint sense of cathartic pleasure welled up within him.

"Duo Mei!" Ge Xiaoyao suddenly remembered that Duo Mei was still in the hands of the Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord. He couldn't care less about the maniacal now, thinking to himself, "It's only three years, there's still plenty of time. I'll rescue them first."

Chapter 244 Beautiful Fox Tianxin (Part 1)

In early summer, the weather was already extremely hot. Even in the mountains, the scorching sun's heat was palpable.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Demon Lord had only taken the first step of the three thousand li journey, and he already felt somewhat exhausted. He clashed with Ge Xiaoyao twice, but instead of gaining the upper hand, he was injured by Ge Xiaoyao. At first, he could suppress the four with his demonic power without feeling much pain, but after two days of fleeing thousands of miles with four living people, he had not dared to rest and his demonic power was severely depleted. He also had to use his magic to control the four, especially Duo Mei, fearing that if she escaped, he would be too weak to catch her again.

He looked up at the scorching sun, wiped the sweat from his forehead, licked his parched lips, and finally thought to himself, "Forget it, if I keep rushing like this, even if Ge Xiaoyao doesn't catch up, I'll probably be exhausted to death! I'd better go down the mountain on foot, where there will be shade and I can save my energy!" He then descended from the sky.

The mountain path was not dangerous, but the shade of the trees and the mountains blocked the sunlight, and a cool mountain breeze blew from time to time. The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts finally caught his breath, found a mountain spring and drank to his heart's content, and then led Duo Mei and the others to cross the mountains.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts had never been to this mountain before, and he didn't know its name. He only noticed its beautiful scenery and clear waters—a truly picturesque place. Once on land, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts unleashed his power. He chanted a demonic incantation, and instantly, the roars of countless lions and tigers echoed through the deep forest. Soon, three tigers and four lions appeared before him, heads bowed, hind paws on the ground, crouching as if awaiting his command.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts chuckled, and a black demonic aura emanated from his hand, binding Duo Mei and the others tightly. He tied each of them to the back of a lion or tiger, then mounted a lion himself, continuing to chant the incantation, urging the lions and tigers forward.

"Hehe, luckily this mountain forest is deep and dense. Even if that brat Ge Xiaoyao flies over this mountain, he definitely won't find me!" The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts chuckled inwardly, but his gaze lingered on the several beauties. They were bound to the backs of lions and tigers, unable to speak, but their minds were clear. Their faces seemed to have turned pale with fright, and their beautiful figures rose and fell with the leaps of the lions and tigers. Their boundless beauty was on full display, and he couldn't help but feel aroused.

However, he immediately remembered the instructions of the Tongtian Sect Ancestor and the ruthless methods the Tongtian Sect Ancestor had used to deal with the Poison Saint Qilian. He suppressed his desire and urged the lions and tigers to hurry.

A group of seven or eight lions and tigers roared past, startling countless birds and beasts, but also disturbing a person in the mountains. This person was also a beautiful woman, none other than the beautiful fox Tianxin, who had spent a night of intimate contact with Ge Xiaoyao that day.

It turned out that on that night, she had a passionate night with Ge Xiaoyao. She had intended to absorb all of Ge Xiaoyao's yang essence and the immortal power of the Hundred Herbs Divine Pill within his body, but due to a strange dream, she suddenly felt that she had met Ge Xiaoyao before. Her love was not yet over, and she couldn't help but fall in love with this handsome man. However, demons and humans are different, and Ge Xiaoyao was a general at the time, so she had no choice but to leave quietly.

After she left, she learned that the nine-tailed fox demon of Xuanyuan Tomb had been taken away by the Goddess Nuwa. She was heartbroken and lived in seclusion at the foot of Hundred Herbs Cliff. Unexpectedly, she later learned that the Dongyi Holy Sect on Dream Maiden Peak had been massacred by the demons of Shiji Mountain. In order to hunt down the remaining members of the Holy Sect, the demons of Shiji Mountain searched the mountain extensively. Tianxin Fox Maiden was alone and powerless. She dared not fight against them and did not want to be discovered by them, so she left Hundred Herbs Cliff alone and sought another place to cultivate in seclusion.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye. The Heavenly Fox Fairy traveled westward, traversing thousands of mountains and rivers. She encountered blessed lands and desolate mountains and rivers. She hid from immortal cultivators and avoided powerful demons. She escaped countless dangers and endured countless hardships before finally arriving at this desolate western mountain.

At that time, although the scenery and spiritual energy of the mountains were average, there were no powerful demons or monsters dominating them. A few small rabbit spirits and rat monsters, all with extremely shallow cultivation, greeted her warmly, addressing her as "Fairy Sister." Thus, the Heavenly Heart Fox Girl simply settled down there, focusing on her cultivation. Occasionally, she would travel and enjoy the scenery with a few friendly rabbit spirits and tree monsters, living a carefree life. However, whenever the night was deep and quiet, the memory of her night with Ge Xiaoyao in that cave would overwhelm her with emotion, causing her to toss and turn, unable to sleep all night. Often, she would sit alone with the lamp until dawn.

Love knows no pain of unrequited love, and unrequited love cannot dispel the sorrow of longing. The Heavenly Heart Fox Girl didn't dwell on her memories of Ge Xiaoyao, but one day, while floating on the clouds, she looked down and discovered that the mountain scenery resembled a heart, divided into two ends with a canyon in the middle, as if cleaved by a knife and axe. This scene stirred up her sorrowful memories. If only she had known that her lover was so deeply entangled in her past, she wouldn't have regretted spending countless nights alone in his empty bed. Suddenly remembering that the mountain was nameless, she spontaneously named it Broken Heart Mountain. Later, the name spread among the many lesser demons and monsters, and thus it became known.

Meanwhile, a thousand years have passed like fleeting clouds, and before she knew it, two years had gone by. The Heavenly Heart Fox Maiden cultivated herself peacefully in the mountain, and her cultivation improved considerably. Her beautiful face became even more stunning. Being a fox spirit, she possessed innate allure, attracting countless lesser demons and monsters who all regarded her as their dream lover. However, although the Heavenly Heart Fox Maiden was naturally alluring, she was not licentious. She remained chaste and celibate, cultivating in seclusion, not for any other reason than that her heart already belonged to someone else, and she could not accept anyone else.

Today, the Heavenly Heart Fox Maiden, weary from her secluded cultivation in her cave, intended to venture out for a stroll and perhaps sample some unusual fruits and vegetables. However, she had barely taken a few steps from the cave entrance when a rabbit spirit reported, "Immortal Sister Heavenly Heart... Immortal Sister Heavenly Heart... I wonder what kind of demon has arrived at Broken Heart Mountain, causing the lions and tigers to roar wildly..."

Although the Heavenly Heart Fox Maiden was gentle by nature and did not bully the weak, this mountain was where she cultivated, and she named it. Moreover, among the mountain's spirits, she possessed the highest cultivation, so she had practically become the mistress of Broken Heart Mountain. No matter what happened, tree spirits and rabbit spirits would come to report. For the past two years, aside from a few passing deities and demons temporarily staying there, it had been quite peaceful.

"Where is it?" the Heavenly Heart Fox Maiden hurriedly asked. She truly had no idea what kind of demon possessed such great power, causing the ferocious beasts to roar wildly. At this moment, she was unaware that it was the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts using demonic arts to control the beasts.

The rabbit spirit said, "It's over there in Pan Valley!"

Tianxin Fox Girl, no longer in the mood for play, immediately said, "Let's go take a look!" With that, she and the rabbit spirit rode on a cloud of demonic mist, heading straight for Pan Valley.

Upon reaching the valley, Tianxin Fox Girl descended from the mist, and she and the rabbit spirit stealthily made their way there, afraid of alerting anyone who might be friend or foe, demon or immortal. What she

saw shocked Tianxin Fox Girl greatly.

It wasn't the wolf spirit, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, riding a lion and tiger carrying a person, but rather the woman carried on the back of the white-browed tiger at the very front—it was none other than Duo Mei, the Holy Maiden of the Eastern Barbarian Holy Sect on Dream Maiden Peak, whom she had met at Hundred Herbs Mountain!

"Ah..." Tianxin Fox Girl almost cried out in surprise. She had only recognized Duo Mei from afar, but as the white-browed tiger drew closer, she realized that Duo Mei was bound to the tiger's back by demonic power, clearly captured by the wolf spirit!

It turned out that although the fox spirit Tianxin lived in seclusion at the foot of Baicao Cliff and did not interact with the human world, she inevitably encountered Duomei several times over time. The two were of similar age and both exceptionally beautiful. Moreover, she found Duomei to be kind-hearted and did not discriminate against Tianxin because she was a demon, but rather rescued her several times when Tianxin was tormented by demons. Therefore, she felt a strong sense of goodwill and gratitude towards Duomei.

Now, seeing Duomei captured, the fox spirit Tianxin's heart trembled. She thought to herself, "Sister Duomei has been captured by that wolf demon! I must save her! And the two women and one man behind her seem kind-hearted; they must be with Sister Duomei!" However, she immediately became worried. In her opinion, the wolf demon, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, possessed unfathomable power, and she was no match for him. Even if she gathered all the lesser demons of Broken Heart Mountain, she probably couldn't rescue Duomei and the others.

"What should I do?" Tianxin bit her pink lips, her delicate brows furrowed, anxious but helpless. She could only follow the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, slowly searching for an opportunity.

Tianxin, the fox spirit, was naturally alluring, and her understanding of men's psychology was exceptionally sensitive and accurate. Before long, a bold plan formed in her mind, but the thought of it made her blush with embarrassment. However, to save people, she couldn't care less.

From the way the wolf spirit looked at Duomei and the other women, Tianxin was certain that the wolf spirit was a lecherous wolf! Suddenly, she remembered that not far ahead was a stream that formed a jade-green pool.

Because Tianxin often bathed there, she named the pool Tianxin Lake.

Mountains point to snowy clouds in the distance, a clear stream flows into a jade lake, the Nine Heavens' sacred realm is nowhere to be found, is the Fairy Tianxin no longer there? Among the demons and monsters of Broken Heart Mountain, a love poem secretly circulated, using Heavenly Heart Lake as its setting to express their longing. Tianxin had already heard of it, but merely smiled indifferently, paying it no heed.

However, this single poem alone was enough to tell that the scenery of Heavenly Heart Lake must be absolutely breathtaking. At this moment, Tianxin decided to carry out that extremely embarrassing yet necessary and daring method. She secretly gave a few instructions to the Snow Rabbit Spirit, and then rushed towards Heavenly Heart Lake.

In Heavenly Heart Lake, a clear stream flowed in, and several fish frolicked among the water. The clear blue water reflected a beautiful and shy face. When

the fox spirit Tianxin saw her reflection in the lake, thinking of what she was about to do, her face instantly burned with embarrassment. She looked behind her, then around, closed her beautiful eyes, and took a deep breath. Only then did her jade hands gently touch her shoulders, slowly untying the sash of her gauze dress.

Normally, she would bathe in Tianxin Lake late at night, first using her magic to create illusions and barriers around herself before undressing and bathing. But now, she could neither bathe at night nor create any barriers, so she had no choice but to bathe naked in the crystal-clear water during the day. However, thinking of Duomei bound to the tiger's back, she gritted her teeth, steeled her resolve, and her gauze skirt slowly fell to the ground, finally allowing one snow-white jade foot to step into the water.

The water reflected her jade-like body, the flowing waves mirroring her beautiful face. Tianxin Fox Girl tried her best not to think about what was about to happen, burying her head deep in the clear water. At this moment, the Snow Rabbit Spirit, as she had instructed, had already used her demonic power to move a stone table, several stone benches, a few kinds of fruit, and a pot of mountain fruit wine over and placed them by the shore of Tianxin Lake.

"Snow Rabbit, go! Tell all the brothers and sisters nearby to return to their caves and hide. No one is allowed to come to Tianxin Lake, and no matter what happens, they must not come out!" Tianxin instructed again.

"But... Sister Tianxin..." the snow rabbit spirit hesitated, looking at the serious look in Tianxin the fox spirit's eyes, finally sighed, agreed, and turned to leave.

Tianxin the fox spirit breathed a sigh of relief, then looked back at the mountain path she had come from, thinking to herself, "She should be here soon!"

Chapter 245 Beautiful Fox Tianxin (Part 2)

A pool of clear water, a beautiful woman, a pot of fine wine, and a charming laugh.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts was stunned, "Ah... I, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, am not always unlucky! I have finally encountered a wonderful thing!"

Four lions and tigers roared past, but he summoned them back with his true technique, and they obediently lay down by the pool like cats. The people bound to them, including Duomei, Yin San, Ling Lei, Yu Lu, and others, all looked at the beauty still in the pool, their expressions varied.

Yin San was also a man, and had seen countless beautiful women. His eyes showed not only surprise but also admiration. Surprisingly, a beautiful woman was bathing naked in this deep mountain pool in broad daylight. He was amazed by her beauty; she was truly stunning. He couldn't help but glance at his three sisters-in-law beside him, all exceptionally beautiful women, yet the beauty before him was equally captivating.

Ling Lei, a dragon princess and fairy, was accustomed to seeing seductive demons, while Yu Lu, a jade spirit from Shiji Mountain, had also bathed in water before. However, they both felt a sense of disdain, even contempt, at this sight.

Duo Mei stared at Tian Xin in the water, her mouth slightly agape, in disbelief. She and Tian Xin had known each other for a long time, but she never expected to meet here, under these circumstances. Most importantly, she wasn't sure if this was a chance encounter or something Tian Xin had planned.

At this moment, the lion beneath the Beast Demon Lord had stopped. He leaped down from its back and smiled at Tian Xin in the pool, "My fairy, I have come from afar. May I rest here for a while?"

Tian Xin stepped down the bank, her face flushed with shyness, but she made no attempt to conceal her naked body. She smiled and said, "Of course, if you don't mind the humble place, please make yourself at home!"

"Haha... Of course not, not at all. Thank you for your kind offer, fairy!" The Beast Demon Lord thought to himself, "So there are such wanton women in these mountains. I, the wild wolf, have just encountered one!" He laughed loudly, took a few steps forward, and sat down before the stone table.

"May I ask your esteemed name, sir, from where you come, and where you are going?" At this moment, Tianxin was draped in an extremely thin veil. The veil fluttered, revealing glimpses of her beautiful figure, further arousing the already aroused Beast Demon Lord, making him even more restless. She moved gracefully closer, extending her jade-like arm to pour him a full cup of wine, saying, "Sir, you are new to our mountain;

this humble offering is but a token of my respect!" The Beast Demon Lord, weary from his journey and consumed by lust, confident in his superior cultivation, disregarded the intentions of this woman he had just met. He immediately downed the wine in one gulp, laughing heartily, "I have no name. Because I am skilled at controlling beasts, my fellow cultivators call me the Beast Demon Lord. I am returning to Tongtian Peak of Dao Mountain! Thank you for your kindness, fairy!"

Tianxin She glanced at Duomei and the others, then winked at Duomei, nodded slightly, and sat down opposite the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts. She offered him a cup of wine and said with a charming smile, "So it's the Demon Lord! I'm so sorry for my rudeness!"

Duomei thought to herself, "This fox demon must have recognized me, but what does she want? Is she trying to save me?! But… with her shallow cultivation, how could she possibly be a match for the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts!" She returned a glance to the Heavenly Heart Fox Maiden, indicating that she had been recognized.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts chuckled, "You flatter me, Fairy. May I ask your name, and what is the name of this sacred mountain?"

Tianxin smiled, her delicate face softening slightly, and said, "This humble woman is nothing more than a little white fox named Tianxin, and this place is called Broken Heart Mountain!"

"I wondered why she was so beautiful and alluring, but she's just a fox demon!" the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts thought to himself, and then laughed, "Beautiful fox fairy, I find this place truly blessed with beautiful mountains and waters, like a paradise on earth. Fairy, you have quite the discerning eye to choose this mountain to live on!"

"You flatter me, Demon Lord!" Tianxin Fox Fairy offered the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts a cup of wine before saying, "I wonder what those people are, that you need to escort them?"

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' expression tightened when Tianxin suddenly mentioned Duomei and the others. He said, "Beautiful Fox Fairy, it's not that I, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, am keeping it a secret, but you also know the rules of the game: don't ask what you shouldn't ask, to avoid unnecessary trouble!"

Tianxin Fox Fairy quickly smiled and said, "Demon Lord, don't be angry. I was just asking casually! However, they are very beautiful, and their skin is excellent. I would like to ask them how they maintain their beauty!" As she spoke, she poured the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts another cup of wine, but secretly gave him a flirtatious wink.

Seeing the beautiful allure of the Heavenly Fox Fairy, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts felt half his body go numb and laughed, "So that's what you meant, Fairy. I was just being presumptuous! Which one does the beautiful fox fairy fancy? Just ask her!"

"Then thank you very much, Demon Lord!" the Heavenly Fox Fairy said with a smile, rising and walking towards the most beautiful spot, furthest from the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, confident in his high cultivation, didn't pay any attention. After a few cups of wine, he was slightly drunk, his lustful eyes fixed on the Heavenly Fox Fairy's exquisite curves, his heart itching with desire, his thoughts filled with lewd desires.

The Heavenly Fox Fairy approached Duo Mei, secretly winking at her before feigning a question: "Sister, your skin is so white, how do you maintain it? Do you have any secret methods?"

Duo Mei, seeing that the Heavenly Fox Fairy seemed to have no ill intentions, and knowing that she had met her several times since their time at Hundred Herbs Mountain on Dream Maiden Peak, knew that although this fox demon was a demon, she was kind-hearted. She nodded slightly, but pretended to glare at the Heavenly Fox Fairy with disdain before turning her head away.

At this moment, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, seeing that Duo Mei didn't answer the Heavenly Fox Fairy, suddenly remembered that he had used his demonic magic to silence her. He laughed heartily, "Beautiful Fox Fairy, I forgot, they've all been sealed by my magic, unable to speak. I'll unseal them now!" With that, he pointed his left hand at Duo Mei, and a wisp of black energy rushed towards her.

"Thank you, Demon Lord!" The Heavenly Fox Fairy's eyes sparkled, and she gave the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts a seductive wink, speaking sweetly.

Struck by the black energy, Duomei felt a sudden release in her throat. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, but she angrily retorted to the Demon Lord of Ten

Thousand Beasts, "You fiend! Do you think I'll be grateful to you for lifting my seal?!" The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts laughed, saying, "You don't need to be grateful. Just answer the Beautiful Fox Fairy's questions honestly and make her happy!"

At this moment, Duomei snorted coldly and shouted, "What beauty secrets! I'm naturally beautiful, unlike some people who spend all day scheming to find beauty elixirs!" Then, in a very low voice, she asked, "Tianxin, what are you doing here?"

The fox fairy Tianxin smiled slightly and also said loudly, "Natural beauty isn't so easy to come by. For the sake of us both loving beauty, what's wrong with you giving me some pointers? Besides, I can put in a good word for you with the Demon Lord." "A few words will save you some pain!" she said in a low voice. "Sister Duomei, this is a long story. Let me bewitch this wolf demon and rescue you first!"

Duomei was startled and thought to herself, "This little fox demon must be crazy. With her abilities, dealing with the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts is practically suicide!" However, seeing that Tianxin was willing to risk her life to save her, she was moved and thought for a moment before whispering, "Tianxin, don't be reckless. Don't make a move yet. Just hold off that wolf as much as possible, and Brother Ge will come to save us!" Then, she put on airs and sneered loudly, "You witch, you're in cahoots with that wolf. How can I believe your nonsense!"

In fact, Duomei didn't know if Ge Xiaoyao would come to save them, but she didn't want Tianxin to take any risks, so she said this.

Hearing Duo Mei call him "Brother Ge," Tianxin's heart leaped with joy, her heart pounding like a deer's. She barely managed to suppress her emotions before whispering, "Okay, sister!" But she also feigned anger, saying, "Hmph! Since that's how it is, then I have nothing more to say!" With that, she pretended to be angry and walked towards the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts had overheard their conversation, just a few words spoken in a fit of pique, and immediately laughed, "Fox Fairy, why are you angry? In my opinion, your beauty is a hundred times greater than theirs!"

Tianxin, the fox fairy, chuckled sweetly, saying, "Demon Lord, you're so good with words! I'm almost embarrassed!" Two genuine blushes appeared on her face, though she was actually thinking about how to face Ge Xiaoyao.

"Demon Lord! It's still early, and we've hit it off immediately. Why don't we drink heartily and talk all night long?" Tianxin, the fox fairy, thought of Duo Mei's delaying tactic and her beautiful eyes flickered slightly. She knew she was no match for the wolf demon, and only resorted to seduction as a last resort. Hearing that Ge Xiaoyao would come to their rescue, she felt emboldened and decided to play along with the wolf demon.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, now intoxicated by wine and women, completely forgot the danger they faced and his crucial duty to escort Duo Mei and the others back to Tongtian Palace. He was also unaware of what had happened at the Yinshan Ancestor's place. Initially, he had been terrified by the Ancestor's words, believing Ge Xiaoyao would indeed rush out of the Mirror of Reflection and chase after them, which was why he had been traveling so frantically. However, after two days without seeing Ge Xiaoyao, he gradually became complacent.

Hearing the fox spirit's sweet words inviting him to stay, he was delighted and immediately agreed, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, beautiful fox fairy. We hit it off at first sight, so I'll gladly accept your offer!" With a lecherous grin, he picked up the wine pot, filled a cup for the fox spirit, and said, "Come, fairy, let me toast you!"

One of them harbored ulterior motives, knowing that the wolf couldn't be kept at bay unless he was drunk; the other, consumed by lust, also knew that wine was the catalyst for lust. They immediately began drinking and chatting, their conversation interspersed with suggestive and embarrassing remarks.

Duo Mei, knowing Tian Xin's good intentions in saving lives, couldn't help but feel moved and touched by her fawning over the wolf, though she couldn't show it on her face. Ling Lei, Yu Lu, and Yin San, however, were completely unaware of the situation, each inwardly cursing, "What a wanton and shameless woman! What a pair of adulterers!" Unable to speak, they cast contemptuous and resentful glances at Tian Xin and the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.

By a twist of fate, due to the turbidity within his body, Ge Xiaoyao was delayed in his pursuit of the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, causing the Demon Lord to lower his guard and laxly drink with Tian Xin and the fox spirit on Broken Heart Mountain. Moreover, the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts' sudden departure into the mountains on foot allowed Ge Xiaoyao to overtake him. It wasn't until Ge Xiaoyao thought to himself that even if the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts was incredibly fast, he should have caught up by now, that he realized he might have just missed him. He turned back to search slowly, simultaneously releasing his Dragon Lotus True Power over a twenty-mile radius, searching the area.

The scene before him brought a sense of relief to Ge Xiaoyao, as he saw that Duo Mei and the others were unharmed. However, when he saw the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts drinking and making merry with a seductive woman, he was filled with rage. He plummeted from mid-air, roaring, "Demon, I've searched so hard for you! Prepare to die!" His Dragon Lotus True Power whistled through the air, transforming into a giant, fiery red blade, which slashed down at the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.

The Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts never expected that, just as he was half-drunk and looking for an opportunity to enjoy himself with the Heavenly Heart Fox Woman, Ge Xiaoyao would suddenly descend from the sky. Fortunately, his cultivation was profound and his reaction was quick. Hearing the whistling sound, he knew that extremely powerful true energy was aimed at him. He immediately unleashed his full demonic energy to block the giant red flame blade from a distance. His body had already slid several feet to the side, and he felt a jolt, his drunkenness mostly gone.

The Heavenly Heart Fox Girl was also startled by the sudden burst of fierce true energy descending from the sky. In her haste, she dodged with the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, but she bumped right next to him, her face turning pale.

Although the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts knew he was no match for Ge Xiaoyao, how could he show weakness with a beauty by his side? At that moment, a competitive spirit arose, and he pulled the Heavenly Heart Fox Girl into his arms, saying, "Beautiful fox fairy, don't be afraid. With me, the Demon Lord, here, no one can hurt you!"
