Volume 2: World of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio Chapter 40: A Visitor from the Fire Crow Tribe
At this time, the old demon Zhenkong was also a little furious.
In terms of her own strength, she is actually much stronger than Kuimulang, but the restrictions in this world are too great, so she can only exert the strength of the peak of the Hedao realm, which is not much different from Kuimulang.
Although his methods were more powerful than Kuimulang's, he should have been able to defeat Kuimulang even if they were on the same level. However, Kuimulang had no martial ethics and actually borrowed the power of the Twenty-Eight Constellations to descend to the world. With the combined power of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the gap between them was infinitely narrowed in an instant, and it became a protracted battle.
But in a protracted war, it is not the strength of the two that matters.
They all came with possessed bodies, and whether they can hold out longer depends entirely on the strength of the bodies that came to this world. The white-robed sacrificial body she temporarily borrowed did not cultivate the physical body at all. Although she also practiced the unorthodox way, her strength was inferior to Wansheng's. What's more, Wansheng was originally the heir of Kuixing and practiced the Kuixing inheritance. It can be said that he was specially prepared for Kuimulang.
With this comparison, the difference is obvious. In a protracted war, the old demon Zhenkong will definitely lose.
What made the old demon Zhenkong even more angry was that the breath of the God of Green Destruction had disappeared. You must know that the God of Green Destruction did not come to the world as a clone, but as his real body. He came to destroy the world under the order of the old demon Zhenkong, but his cultivation was restricted and could not be recovered. He then ran into a tough guy like Jiale, and now not even a trace of his divine consciousness could escape.
You know, the God of Qingmie is a true immortal. It is really a pity that he died in the human world like this.
For the old demon Zhenkong, this is an even greater loss. His painstaking planning has now come to nothing.
Snap!
The body of the white-robed priest had already begun to crack, which made the old demon of vacuum even more angry. "Kui Mulang, just wait for me. Even if you hide in the heaven, I will kill you."
Kuimulang sneered when he heard this.
"Incompetent and furious, I want to see if you have the guts to do this. You don't have to come. I will ask the senior sister to find you."
Upon hearing what Kuimulang said, the old demon Zhenkong’s face suddenly froze.
"The Shangqing lineage is going too far!"
But before he could utter these words, the body of the white-robed priest had already shattered into pieces, and the True Void Demon's consciousness also disappeared in an instant.
Although Wansheng's physical strength was much stronger than the white-robed priest, he was also seriously damaged at this time. Kuimulang did not delay for long. After returning to the land, he went straight back.
"Master, it's nothing serious."
Wansheng was quite exhausted this time. Unlike the enemies he faced before, this time he was facing the Mother of Vacuum. Even Kuimulang did not dare to be careless and attacked with all his strength. The loss was extremely large. Compared with the priest in white, Wansheng was indeed lucky. However, even so, he was seriously injured and it would take him a few years to recover.
However, Wansheng has worked hard and made great contributions, so Jiale naturally would not let him stay in bed for several years.
Without Jiale's further instructions, Tiangou had already taken Wansheng over. He was not seriously injured, and his life was not in danger. As long as his life was not in danger, he could be saved, so there was no need to worry too much.
Jiale handed over a pill and Tengu took it.
Although Jiale doesn't take pills, there is never a shortage of pills in the Kunlun Mirror, which are specially used to deal with such emergencies.
"Zi Chu, go take over the city."
Jiale said something to Sun Zichu and returned to the tent. At this time, Tianyuan City had become a ghost town, and there were probably only one or two out of ten survivors. It is hard to say how powerful these people who practiced magic were in fighting the enemies, but their destructive power was beyond doubt.
The entire Jiaozhou's military force was actually only about 400,000 to 500,000. Among the four southern states, Jiaozhou was the poorest. Otherwise, it would not have become the breeding ground for the White Lotus Sect. They took advantage of the people's poverty. In places like Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou, no one was willing to believe in the teachings of the White Lotus Sect.
The White Lotus Sect also knew that Sun Zichu's situation was unstoppable, so they wanted to achieve their goal in one battle. They gathered 200,000 soldiers and horses in Tianyuan City alone. Now that Tianyuan City has been taken, other places are no longer a threat.
However, a place like this that has been shrouded in doctrine is easy to conquer but difficult to govern, and there will be headaches for Sun Zichu later on.
After Wansheng refined Jiale's elixir, he recovered within a few days. It was a blessing in disguise as his strength was directly improved to the level of a martial artist, which is equivalent to the level of a cultivator in the spirit realm.
With Wansheng's strength, those evil practitioners in the White Lotus Sect would no longer be able to cause any trouble. Jiale did not stay any longer and returned directly to Jinling.
Sun Mansion in Jinling City.
Jiale looked at the energy bead in the Kunlun Mirror, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
He was doing the work of the Hedao realm, but was earning the salary of the True Immortal realm. No one could say that this business was bad. Jia Le even wished that the old demon Zhenkong would send a few more evil gods over.
Break the energy bead, and the vast energy will flow through your body again.
Jiale continued to comprehend the Tao Te Ching and laid the foundation for immortality.
After a month, all the True Immortal-level energy beads were used up, and Jiale slowly stopped practicing.
Superior immortal foundation, accomplished!
At this time, Jia Le can already break through the Hedao realm at any time. Even if he encounters something he cannot deal with in the future and is forced to break through the Hedao realm, his future cultivation will not be greatly affected by his superior immortal foundation.
"Master, there are two women outside who want to see you. They say their surname is Jin."
Female! Last name: Jin!
Jia Le took a quick look and saw that there were indeed two hot women outside the Sun Mansion. However, that was not important. What was important was that these two women were not human.
"Please go to the study."
Regardless of whether he is a human or not, he came according to the etiquette of the human race. He first submitted a visiting card, introduced himself, and then waited outside the door without saying anything rude. We are a country of etiquette, so we cannot refuse guests at the door. What's more, if we really don't get along well, we can still invite him from the study to the Kunlun Mirror.
Zhang Long received the order and hurried out.
There was a sign in Jiale's yard. Zhang Long would only dare to come in when the sign indicated that the place was available. It was also because the two women were lucky, otherwise they would have had to wait.
Outside the Sun Mansion.
"Sister, do you think the rumor is true? How can there be seven fire crows in such a place? I don't think it's possible. Moreover, the dignified Master of the Yin and Yang Vein of Maoshan didn't practice in the mountains, but ran to the mortal world to build a mansion to live in. Isn't this crazy? Could it be that someone is deliberately making fun of us sisters?"
It turns out that these two women are sisters. No wonder they look so similar.
The elder sister looked thoughtful when she heard this, she indeed did not feel the breath of the Fire Crow, they were both members of the Fire Crow clan among the royal family of the demon race, and she was the elder of the Fire Crow clan, in charge of the bloodline of the Fire Crow clan that was lost outside. The Fire Crow clan had extraordinary bloodline, but the fertility rate was not high, and there were even fewer pure bloods.
Therefore, once any Fire Crows are found wandering outside, they will be extradited back to increase the foundation of the Fire Crow clan.
This time, there was news that seven Fire Crows were discovered in Yangzhou, and they had grown into the level of Demon Kings. Such news immediately alarmed the Fire Crow clan. The Fire Crows that were wandering outside had all broken through to the level of Demon King, and there were seven of them at once. If this was true, it would be a big deal for the Fire Crow clan.
If he can break through to the Demon King realm outside, if he is brought back and inherits the inheritance, he can easily advance to the Demon Lord realm.
The seven demon lords have brought too obvious a boost to the Fire Crow clan's strength.
So no matter whether the matter was true or false, the Fire Crow Clan asked her, the elder, to go directly. Although the Fire Crow Clan was a demon clan, their intelligence network among the human race was not small. Jia Le had hardly concealed the traces of the Fire Crows. The Fire Crow Clan was determined to investigate, and they really followed the clues and found them here.
When they heard that the seven fire crows were in the hands of the Yin-Yang Vein Master who had recently become famous in Maoshan, they were a little surprised and felt that the matter was even more difficult to handle.
Even though the Fire Crow Clan prides themselves on having a high status, they may not have much face in front of a top immortal sect like Maoshan.
Otherwise, how do you think that a mere Sun Mansion can make the dignified elder of the Fire Crow Clan so polite and respectful?
"Be more restrained. This is the human race, not our Fire Crow Valley. Although the Yin Yang Master of Maoshan is only a newcomer, he is a truly ruthless character. I heard that the evil monk Pudu Cihang died at his hands. The abbot and Miaoyin of Guanyin Temple also suffered at his hands. Not long ago, there was a big battle in Tianyuan City. I heard that it was also caused by the Yin Yang Master. His strength may be even higher than ours."
When my sister heard this, she just pouted and stopped talking nonsense.
Originally, the elder sister was going out alone, but the younger sister heard that the elder sister was going out of the valley and wanted to go out to play too, so she pestered her elder sister. There was no other way, the elder sister had to take her with her. However, the two of them had three rules , and the younger sister was afraid that the elder sister would get angry and drive her back.
After finally getting out to play, my sister doesn’t want to be sent back halfway.
"My two young ladies, the young master invites you to the study."
Seeing the human practicing martial arts in front of them, who was only at the Innate Realm, the Jin sisters could not understand what kind of hobby Jiale, the master of Mount Mao, had.
"Thank you for your help."
After all, Sister Jin is in charge of foreign affairs and often deals with various parties. She is not as overbearing as other elders in the clan.
In the study.
Zhang Long had already arranged for a maid to pour tea for them.
"I wonder when your Excellency, Master, will arrive?"
The Jin sisters were not here to drink tea. To be honest, their status were similar, and the elder sister also felt that Jiale was somewhat neglectful of them.
Zhang Long didn't care about all this. In his opinion, although the Jin sisters were very beautiful, just like the people in the paintings, his young master was a god-like figure. It was good enough that they were willing to meet them. He even dared to pick on them, which was really a bit tactless.
"You two, the young master has many things to do. It is not easy to see you today. As for when I can see you again, I don't know."
Upon hearing this, Sister Jin's face froze. Having a good temper is relative. The Fire Crows all have hot tempers, perhaps because they practice the way of fire. If this happened in another place, Sister Jin would have to punish Zhang Long.
Jiale glanced at the two women. They could endure this, so it seemed like they really had something to ask for. The only thing that connected him to the Fire Crow Clan was the seven Fire Crows in his hands. It seemed that he had not concealed himself recently and was discovered by the Fire Crow Clan. Now they came to his door directly.
"Master!"
Jiale appeared and Zhang Long hurriedly saluted. The two sisters were relieved to see Jiale finally appear. However, after seeing Jiale, the younger sister was not surprised. She just felt that Jiale was worthy of being the master of Mount Mao and had an extraordinary temperament. However, the elder sister frowned because she could not see through Jiale's cultivation level.
Jia Le in front of him was standing there like an ordinary person, but how could the leader of Maoshan be an ordinary person?
In this situation, either Jiale has a treasure that can conceal his aura, or Jiale's cultivation is much stronger than hers.
But she has reached a cultivation level equivalent to the human cultivator's ninth level of refining emptiness. How could Jiale be higher than her? There are not many people in Maoshan who have reached the Hedao realm. I heard that the top immortal sects are all very arrogant. At Jiale's level, they cannot reach the upper-class immortal foundation and do not even want to break through. How could Jiale's cultivation level be so high now? He must have some means to conceal his cultivation level.
"You guys go down first."
Zhang Long understood what was said and left with the maid. Suddenly, only Jiale and the Jin sisters were left in the study.
Jiale slowly sat down in the upper seat and looked at the Jin sisters. In fact, all his spirit beasts were able to transform now, but there was not much pressure at all to follow Jiale, so they had no intention of transforming and just continued to exist as spirit beasts.
"Jinhuan, Jinyu, nice to meet you, young master."
When the two women saw Jia Le coming out, and the aura he displayed, their previous anger instantly dissipated, and they stood up and bowed.
However, they did not reveal their identities, but wanted to test Jiale's vision.
Jiale nodded, pretending not to know why the two had come.
"You two ladies are polite, but I am sure I have never seen you two before. I wonder what is the important matter that you two ladies are here for?"
Jiale was drinking his tea by himself. The Jin sisters were a little overwhelmed when they saw this scene. Jiale was actually more patient than them, but he didn't reveal his identity. How to proceed with the next topic? Jinhuan also felt a little tricky. At the same time, she was wondering if she had come to the wrong place. Could it be that this young master of the Sun family was just an ordinary person?
For a moment, the study became quiet.
Jiale was not in a hurry. He just waited quietly, taking a sip of hot tea from time to time.
"Hey, Mr. Sun, I heard that you have seven fiery red birds. We sisters love these birds. I wonder if you can let us take a look at them?"
Jin Yu also realized that something was wrong. They were all old monsters who had practiced for thousands of years. Even though they had not left the Fire Crow Valley for a long time and did not have a special understanding of human nature, their intelligence was top-notch. Jin Huan, as an elder of the Fire Crow clan, had some concerns, but she did not, and she broke the deadlock immediately.
Upon hearing this, Jiale also looked at Jin Yu.
With their initial cultivation level at the level of Refining Void, their aptitude is not inferior to that of Jiale's seven fire crows. In fact, the seven fire crows can have their current aptitude and foundation largely because of Jiale. Jiale is the body of the sun god, and the sun is the foundation of the Fire Crow clan. The seven fire crows follow Jiale, and their bloodlines are not only developed, but also sublimated after Jiale's breakthroughs step by step.
Now, it is not wrong to say that we have royal blood.
Moreover, as Jiale's cultivation level improves and his Sun God body becomes stronger, the bloodlines of the seven fire crows can continue to grow stronger, which is much easier than dealing with the two sisters in front of him.
Since they have come to his door, Jiale doesn't think he can fool them by telling a lie. They are the royal family of the demon clan, no less powerful than the top immortal sects like Maoshan.
With a wave of one hand.
Seven fire crows appeared in the study. They were originally practicing in the Kunlun Mirror. When they had nothing to do, all the spirit beasts would practice in the Kunlun Mirror. After all, the spiritual energy in the Kunlun Mirror was much stronger than that outside. Practicing was twice the result with half the effort. Only when they were bored would they beg Jiale to come out for some fresh air.
Being brought out by Jiale at this time, he was a little confused.
Mute mute mute!
Seven fire crows landed on Jiale's shoulders and touched him affectionately. Jiale also stroked their golden feathers. The seven fire crows could be said to be the first to follow Jiale, and the affection between them was deep, much stronger than that for other spirit beasts.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she raised seven children.
When the Jin sisters saw the seven fire crows, their eyes narrowed suddenly. They were really seven fire crows, and pure-blooded fire crows. Their blood was as pure as theirs, and even purer. They were at the peak of the Demon King realm, and they were only one step away from breaking through to the Demon Lord realm. It seemed that it was only a matter of time.
this!
His heart was pounding. After the separation of the three realms of heaven, earth and man, the bloodline of the Fire Crow Clan had been weaker with each generation. Now, it was in decline. Although they still looked powerful, only they themselves knew the real situation. Now, their prosperity was only maintained by the older generation. There were few decent people in the younger generation.
None of the people in the tribe could compare to the seven fire crows in front of him. I really don’t know how lucky Jiale was to be able to find seven such fire crows.
Jinhuan believed that as long as they brought the seven fire crows back and accepted the clan's inheritance and other benefits, they would be able to directly break through to the Demon Lord realm. By then, the hidden dangers of their Fire Crow clan would be completely eliminated.
"Ladies, you are talking about them."
Jiale teased the seven fire crows and said to the Jin sisters. The seven fire crows also noticed the Jin sisters at this time, circled around them for a while, and then flew back.
"Master, these two sisters seem to be Fire Crows as well."
Owner!
Jinhuan was about to say something, but when he heard the seven fire crows addressing Jiale, his face changed. Master, the seven fire crows have actually recognized him as their master!
How could the noble Fire Crow lineage recognize humans as their leader?
Anger rose in his heart, and Jinhuan's face became much colder.
"Master Yin Yang, I am an elder of the Fire Crow Clan. I came to visit you this time because I want to take them back. Please, Master Yin Yang, remove the slave seal."
Upon hearing this, the seven Fire Crows all looked towards Jinhuan at the same time. The seven Fire Crows, who had been in a good mood when seeing the other Fire Crows, became completely furious after hearing what Jinhuan said. After all this time, it turned out that Jinhuan was trying to separate them from their master. How could such a crappy Fire Crow clan be able to stay with their master?
call!
Seven rays of yang fire directly covered the golden ring. The golden ring was caught off guard and was hit directly. She really did not expect that seven fire crows would actually attack her. Fortunately, the golden ring was powerful, and the power of the yang fire, although of extremely high quality, could not reach her.
Jiale looked at the golden ring in front of him and couldn't help but shook his head. No matter how polite he was, it was only a superficial phenomenon after all. These so-called royal families of the monster tribe seemed to have a sense of superiority that looked down on all living beings in their bones. The same was true for the golden ring. Perhaps it was because they were responsible for different things, so they restrained themselves, but the essence was the same.
"Xiao Qi and the others are willing to go with you, so I will naturally not stop them. As for the slave mark, there is no slave mark between us."
Um!
"This is true!"
Jinhuan checked carefully and found that there were really no slave marks on the seven fire crows. This made Jinhuan's expression relax. But without slave marks, how could the seven fire crows call themselves the masters of Jiale? In Jinhuan's mind, no one of the noble Fire Crow clan was worthy of being their master.
Jin Huan still had the confidence to take the seven Fire Crows away. After all, the Fire Crow Valley was the paradise of the Fire Crow Clan. There was the complete heritage of the Fire Crow Clan, all the resources needed for the Fire Crows to improve, and there were many companions. Compared with these, what did Jia Le have? Seven Fire Crows, why shouldn't she go with her?
"The seven of you can follow me. Only your own clan members are your relatives. After you return, you can receive the best inheritance, and your clan will also treat you with special favor. In less than a thousand years, you will be able to successfully break through the Demon Lord realm. By then, you will be the new hope of our Fire Crow clan, and you may even become the clan leader of our Fire Crow clan in the future."
Speaking of this, Jinhuan's eyes became brighter and brighter. She was telling the truth. Such conditions would probably be difficult for anyone to refuse.
The seven fire crows looked at the golden ring as if it were an idiot. It took them thousands of years to break through to the Demon Lord realm, but why did they still seem so proud in the eyes of this stupid woman? They were originally at the peak of the Demon King realm, and when their master broke through to the He Dao realm, they would be able to break through to the Demon Lord realm as well.
With the speed at which the master's cultivation is improving, it would only take a few years at most.
They have been practicing for less than thousands of years, and now the Golden Ring wants them to go back to suffer. It is simply unreasonable. As for inheritance, as their bloodline develops, their inheritance appears step by step. What better inheritance can the Fire Crow Clan have? Guarding the Sun God Body, they can comprehend the inheritance very well. Only those who are crazy will go to the so-called Fire Crow Valley.
Among the demon race, the so-called inheritance is actually just some magical powers accumulated by these demons.
The most authentic inheritance of the demon clan is actually in their blood. As long as the blood is improved step by step, the inheritance will appear. For the seven fire crows, the fire crow clan is simply dispensable.
"Master, we have to go back to practice. After we break through the demon lord, we will help you beat this bad woman."
The seven fire crows also knew that Jin Huan and Jin Yu had higher cultivation levels than them, so if they fought, they would only be able to hold Jia Le back. Jia Le had already made it clear to all the spirit beasts: if they couldn't help , they didn't need to help, and they shouldn't make unnecessary sacrifices or hold Jia Le back. The seven fire crows had followed Jia Le for the longest time, and it had already been ingrained in their bones.
Seeing Jiale putting away the seven fire crows again, Jinhuan and Jinyu, who did not get the answer they wanted, were confused at first and felt even more uncomfortable at this time.
Bad woman!
Are these children too young? They have no idea what what they said means. They must have been bewitched by Jiale. Otherwise, how could they ignore what she said?
"Master Yin Yang, please hand over our Fire Crow. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
The blood of the seven Fire Crows is so pure that it is the future of the Fire Crow Clan. Even if they are facing the leader of the Yin-Yang lineage of Maoshan, they cannot be soft-hearted. They must bring the seven Fire Crows back on this trip. This is a matter related to the fate of the Fire Crow Clan and there is no room for negotiation. Even if they are the enemy of Maoshan, I believe that the clan will have no objection.
His aura was rising and he was ready to strike at any time.
Jiale couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the attitude of the two sisters. He knew that there would always be some troubles once the Seven Fire Crows were known. However, Jiale became stronger and stronger later and returned to Maoshan, so he ignored this point. Now that he met these two idiots, there was really nothing he could do.
He was eager to make a move, and wondered if the Fire Crow Tribe had any immortals like those in the Maoshan small world. If not, perhaps he could send them all into the Kunlun Mirror in an orderly manner. In short, he wanted to stay with the seven Fire Crows. Aren't the Fire Crow Valley and the Kunlun Mirror the same?
