Chapter 390 Sword Elder's Extreme Pulling: Big Yellow Dog Gets Fooled and Limped!
As time passed, the black and white interwoven Yin and Yang Dao Rhyme surrounding Lin Xiyue became increasingly dense.
The rotating Taiji Double Fish loomed behind her, as if it were about to re-evolve a vast vision of Chaos opening up the heavens and earth.
Big Yellow Dog sat not far away, and in those deep canine eyes, the look of shock grew even more intense.
"Tsk tsk..."
"This Comprehension Ability is truly wicked!"
"Even during the peak of the Ancestral Realm back then, the number of people with such Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability could be counted on two dog paws!"
It vaguely realized that having just awakened from a long slumber, it seemed to have run headlong into a formidable freak of existence!
Elder Sword, taking all this in, slightly shifted his gaze.
He knew that the unfathomable old yellow dog before him was currently in a state of being deeply intimidated by the miraculous display Lin Xiyue was showing.
This was absolutely the best time to fish for information!
Thus, Elder Sword spoke up quite directly:
"Fellow Daoist Dog, you mentioned just now that this place is your master's Dao Field."
"I wonder if you could introduce us to who this master of yours truly is?"
However, Elder Sword had clearly underestimated the shrewdness of this old dog that had lived for who knows how many years.
Hearing this question, Big Yellow Dog's previously tense nerves seemed to relax instantly.
It withdrew its gaze from Lin Xiyue, its mouth widening into a grin as it regained its previous nonchalant, slightly lazy, and punchable attitude.
"Woof."
It lazily scratched its chin and replied casually:
"Want to know my master's background?"
"That won't do. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world."
"You have to exchange it for information that interests me, Dog Master."
As it spoke, Big Yellow Dog's shifty eyes glanced with a half-smile at Lin Xiyue, who was still in an Epiphany.
"As it happens, I, Dog Master, am very, very interested in this little girl's origins!"
Hearing this, Elder Sword was momentarily stunned.
"What a cunning beast!"
He cursed inwardly. It seemed his previous profound and serious act...
...though it had scared the other party, hadn't completely fooled this old dog.
This fellow actually knew not to release the hawk until seeing the rabbit; it even wanted to bargain with him here!
But he was no pushover either!
"This..."
Elder Sword's eyes darted around, and he immediately put on a look of extreme difficulty, even appearing somewhat wary.
He sighed deeply and shook his head, saying:
"Alas, I was too forward."
"Since Fellow Daoist Dog is unwilling to say, then so be it. Treat it as if I never asked."
"I shall shut my mouth now."
After saying that, Elder Sword actually turned around with his hands behind his back, directly using a move of retreating to advance.
It didn't matter if he hadn't fooled it yet; he would just continue the back-and-forth!
Seeing how Big Yellow Dog had been scared witless just now, it was obvious that it was extremely wary of Lin Xiyue's background, and at the same time, extremely curious.
Elder Sword didn't believe that after whetting its appetite so much, this old dog could really hold back from asking!
Sure enough!
Seeing Elder Sword give up on the inquiry so decisively.
Big Yellow Dog immediately couldn't sit still!
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't do that!"
Big Yellow Dog stood up in a hurry, wagging its tail repeatedly, and spoke somewhat impatiently:
"Ahem... that, we can discuss this!"
"No need to be so rigid."
"I also know this little girl's origin must be very extraordinary, involving a great deal!"
Big Yellow Dog lowered its posture, moved half a step closer, and said persuasively:
"You don't have to be too explicit, to avoid being tainted by Karma."
"You just need to give me a little, just a little bit of the bottom line, even if it's just an obscure word."
"The rest, I, Dog Master, can figure out myself!"
"Hooked!"
Elder Sword sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he still wore a look of terror.
He waved his hands repeatedly, lowered his voice, and said in a tone full of awe:
"Fellow Daoist Dog, please don't force me!"
"This, after all, involves..."
"The Dao!"
"How would I dare to say even half a word more here?!"
Boom!!!
Unexpectedly, the moment Elder Sword uttered the word "Dao".
Big Yellow Dog's expression changed wildly!
Those canine eyes, which had been carrying a bit of testing and curiosity, suddenly contracted to the size of pinpricks!
"Dao?!"
"Could it be... which Dao Ancestor?!"
Big Yellow Dog cried out in shock.
It instinctively backed up several steps, its yellow fur standing on end like steel needles once again!
It felt that Elder Sword was dropping a massive hint! And the hint was already extremely obvious!
However, seeing Big Yellow Dog's violent reaction as if struck by lightning.
Elder Sword, who was acting profound on the surface, felt his heart skip a beat, completely dumbfounded!
"Dao Ancestor?!"
"This old dog actually knows the title of the Dao Ancestor of Great Xia?!"
Elder Sword's mind began to race frantically, but immediately after, he keenly captured a blind spot in Big Yellow Dog's words.
"No!"
"The terrified tone it used just now was... 'which Dao Ancestor'?!"
"The use of 'which' is very interesting!"
Elder Sword's heart instantly surged with excitement.
His original intention was just to use a tiger's skin as a banner, using a mysterious "Dao" to fool the other party.
He hadn't expected to stumble upon it and directly trick a piece of earth-shattering information out of this Big Yellow Dog's mouth!
That is, there was more than just Lin Mo who held the supreme title of "Dao Ancestor"!
Moreover, looking at Big Yellow Dog's terrified appearance, which was respectful to the bone...
Those other "Dao Ancestors" seemed to be unspeakable and terrifying taboos themselves?
Although waves were crashing in his heart, Elder Sword's facial expression management was perfect.
He forcibly suppressed the wild joy in his heart and decided to add one last bit of fuel to see just how much this Big Yellow Dog could cower.
"Apologies, Fellow Daoist Dog."
"I can only tell you... Girl Lin is the Spokesperson of the Dao Ancestor in this world!"
"As for the rest, I truly know nothing else!"
"The... the Spokesperson of the Dao Ancestor?!!"
Hearing this world-shaking news, Big Yellow Dog could no longer hold it together!
With a "clack," it actually straightened its body subconsciously, standing in solemn respect just like a human!
A Dao Ancestor! What kind of taboo existence was that?!
In the past, even its master, in his entire life, had only been fortunate enough to have met a Dao Ancestor twice!
This was already an honor that countless people wouldn't even dare to dream of!
And the Spokesperson of a Dao Ancestor, what did this identity represent?
It represented the will of the Dao Ancestor walking in the world!
If the little girl in front of it was truly the Spokesperson of a Dao Ancestor...
Then in terms of nobility, she was even far above its master!
At the thought of this, Big Yellow Dog instantly retracted all the arrogance from its body.
In the gaze it directed at Lin Xiyue, there was no longer any of the previous playfulness, only the purest awe.
A Spokesperson of a Dao Ancestor was absolutely not an existence that a watchdog like it could afford to provoke!
Even if its master were to be resurrected, he would have to treat her with the utmost courtesy!
*Gulp...*
"No wonder! No wonder just now, the moment I, Dog Master, had a sliver of a thought to pry, I felt as if the sky was falling!"
"It seems... my disrespectful action offended a certain unspeakable Dao Ancestor in the dark!"
"Fortunately, I, Dog Master, was clever and didn't continue to court death by forcibly investigating!"
"Otherwise, I'm afraid even this Dao Field would have been erased from Karma by now!"
Big Yellow Dog felt incredibly fortunate.
It's good to be alive!
And standing to the side, taking in Big Yellow Dog's transition from extreme arrogance to extreme humility.
Elder Sword was currently feeling very surprised and even a bit tempted to laugh!
Amazing!
He never expected that with just a few words of back-and-forth, he would actually completely fool this ancient yellow dog of unfathomable strength!
Looking at Big Yellow Dog's trembling appearance, as if it wanted to kowtow to Lin Xiyue on the spot.
Elder Sword breathed a long sigh of relief.
It's settled!
Now, their situation in this mysterious Dao Field could be considered to have completely turned around!
