477: Chapter 477 The Two Women Meet, The Demonic Plague of Yin Valley

"Tian Yin, your zither skills are becoming more and more exquisite; you can kill a Dou Zong with ease."

Hun Tiandi sheathed his long blade and revealed a faint smile.

"Brother Hun, you overpraise me!" Tian Yin said shyly, as if the decisive and murderous woman from before wasn't her.

"This is all thanks to Brother Hun bringing the ancestor's personal treasure, the cold jade ancient zither, out from the Qin Realm. If not for that, it would have been difficult to achieve."

While the two were catching up, the experts of Burning Flame Valley were all annihilated.

Their souls were devoured by the three main demonic spirits. With a casual wave of his hand, Hun Tiandi shook the ten thousand soul banner, and the demonic spirits returned, restoring peace to the hall.

The Human Puppets were also put away.

"It's a pity, did Tang Junyao manage to escape?" Tian Yin said with regret.

Hun Tiandi shook his head. "No matter. I didn't intend to eliminate her this time anyway; it would have affected the plan."

Tian Yin nodded slightly, put away the cold jade ancient zither, and replaced it with her own jade zither.

"Sound Valley, Fairy Tianyin." As Hun Tiandi was about to speak, Lei Xuanji's voice rang out. Her injuries were temporarily stable, though her face was still somewhat pale.

"Lei Xuanji of the Lei Tribe, thank you for taking action to save my husband." Fairy Tianyin spoke indifferently.

"Hmm? Husband?" Lei Xuanji's expression turned cold. For some reason, hearing Tian Yin refer to Hun Tiandi as her husband made her feel uneasy.

When the two women met, their words were sharp, giving Hun Tiandi a bit of a headache.

He would rather fight a life-and-death battle with a powerful expert than deal with two jealous women.

This scene left everyone present dumbfounded.

Mud Bodhisattva seemed to shield himself, no longer receiving such signals.

"Indeed. Back then, Sound Valley held a marriage competition: whoever could bring the ancestor's cold jade ancient zither out from the Qin Realm would become my, Tian Yin's, husband."

"At that time, only my husband succeeded!"

Fairy Tianyin spoke as if she were recounting a trivial matter.

Hearing this, Lei Xuanji looked at Hun Tiandi as if questioning him.

"It was a matter of fate!" Hun Tiandi said helplessly. He truly hadn't expected to find the cold jade ancient zither.

He had kept the zither for himself initially because he didn't want to provoke the young miss of Sound Valley; his grand ambitions were still in their early stages.

He had no time to consider matters of the heart.

"Regardless, I must thank Tian Yin and Xuanji for their help this time. Otherwise, even if I could have handled it, I would have paid a price."

With a casual wave, Hun Tiandi made tables and chairs appear, set out Spirit Wine, and the group began to celebrate.

"Come, taste the Spirit Wine I brewed."

He then filled the cups for Tian Yin and Xuanji. The rich aroma of the wine made the five people behind them unable to resist wanting a taste.

He then invited everyone to drink this cup together.

"This Spirit Wine is quite good; it's not at all inferior to medicinal pills." Tian Yin took a sip and praised.

"Indeed, my injuries have also recovered a bit." Lei Xuanji also nodded.

"Since it's good, take some with you when you leave."

He produced two storage rings with a flip of his hand, filled with plenty of Spirit Wine, and placed them before the two of them.

Hun Tiandi didn't hide anything.

"Tian Yin, Xuanji, if you need anything in the future, you can go to the Dazheng Dynasty in the Black-Corner Region. That is the power I established, and I will certainly not refuse to help."

Hun Tiandi said solemnly, producing two Nine Dragon Tokens and placing them before Tian Yin and Xuanji.

"You say the Dazheng Dynasty was founded by you?" An old woman behind Tian Yin asked in surprise.

"Yes. Has Senior heard of it?" Hun Tiandi asked curiously.

"Yes. I once went to the Black-Corner Region on business and happened to witness an earth-shattering battle. The Three Saints of the Xiao Family, bringing three Half-Saints and many Dou Zun experts, besieged the Dazheng Dynasty, but were blocked by that Emperor."

"The Dazheng Dynasty also sent out three Dou Sheng super-experts, forcefully stopping the Xiao Family's encirclement. Even the experts they brought were defeated. The Xiao Family suffered massive losses and returned empty-handed."

That old woman had personally witnessed a peerless battle that swept across the Northwest Continent.

It annihilated the Tianshe Empire and the Izumo Empire, and even the notorious Poison Sect was destroyed.

"Dou Sheng experts? Three of them returned in failure?"

Tian Yin's beautiful eyes widened. In an era where the supreme Dou Di did not appear, Dou Sheng experts were at the top of the pyramid, possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth.

She recognized these words individually, but combined, they left Tian Yin and Lei Xuanji utterly bewildered.

"Just luck." Hun Tiandi smiled faintly, appearing very relaxed.

But in his heart, he knew how terrifyingly dangerous that battle had been. Any slight miscalculation would have led to the destruction of the Dazheng Dynasty.

Lei Xuanji was also extremely shocked. Although she had long seen Hun Tiandi as a formidable leader...

...but you can't be this terrifying, can you!

At this moment, whether it was the two old women Tian Yin brought, the Dao Protector behind Lei Xuanji, or even the silent Mud Bodhisattva...

...they all looked at Hun Tiandi in shock.

"Soon, the forces of the Dazheng Dynasty will march into the Central Plains. If anything happens, I will certainly lend a hand." Hun Tiandi said solemnly.

"Brother Hun, regardless of whether you accept the identity of my husband, I, Tian Yin, keep my word. Since you brought out the cold jade ancient zither, you are the husband I have chosen."

"After leaving Sound Valley this time, Tian Yin will not come out again for a short while. The Grand Elder wants me to train with him. We shall meet again if fate permits."

Tian Yin said with a serious expression, then she put away the storage ring and the Nine Dragon Token, stood up, and walked toward the exit.

She did not look back, as if once she did, the affection in her heart would make her reluctant to leave.

One old woman followed her out. The remaining old woman hesitated for a moment, took out a folded letter from her storage ring, and placed it carefully before Hun Tiandi.

Then she quickly departed, vanishing from the Hall of Souls.

"This is..." After Tian Yin left, Hun Tiandi picked up the letter and began reading the records on it. A sudden surge of killing intent erupted from him.

His eyes flashed with sharp light, as if he finally understood why Tian Yin said she couldn't come out for a while.

"What's wrong?" Lei Xuanji looked bewildered. She took the letter from Hun Tiandi's hand, and upon seeing the information on it, she also showed a look of disbelief.

"Tian Yin?" Lei Xuanji said softly.

It turned out that Fairy Tianyin's inability to leave Sound Valley for a short time wasn't because she was training with the Grand Elder, but because of a demonic affliction within Sound Valley.

The reason Sound Valley had rarely traveled the continent in recent years was due to a seal within Sound Valley that suppressed a terrifying Demon God.

The seal had existed since the ancestor founded Sound Valley. Generations of Sound Valley disciples had made it their mission to guard the seal.

As the daughter of the Master of Sound Valley, Tian Yin naturally had an inescapable duty.

This was her responsibility and mission.

If the seal were to break, not only would Sound Valley be destroyed by the Demon God, but the Fighting Qi Continent would also be drenched in blood, and its people would suffer.

"Sound Valley's demonic affliction, the sealed Demon God..."

Hun Tiandi spoke softly, his fingers clenching until they cracked. It was impossible to ask Tian Yin to abandon her mission.

There was only one path left: to increase his strength and kill the Demon God. Only then could he secure Tian Yin's freedom.

He exhaled deeply.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anxiety in his heart. What he needed now was to stay calm.

Lei Xuanji stepped forward and took Hun Tiandi's hand, as if to give him strength.

"Xuanji, the contents of this should be helpful to you." Hun Tiandi turned his hand and took a jade box from his storage ring, placing it before Lei Xuanji.

"This is..." Lei Xuanji asked in confusion, then slowly opened it.

A pure white light burst forth, making her soul tremble as if a sense of longing had been transmitted.
