186: Chapter 186: The Recruitment of the Nine-Tailed Fox! The Meeting of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi and the Holy Maiden of Qingqiu!

On the ruins of the main peak of Qingqiu Mountain, a cold wind blew.

The heavy smell of blood in the air had not yet dissipated.

Su Yang held the golden Thunder God Bone Club, his tattered windbreaker rustling in the wind.

Bai Li stood by his side, draped in that oversized black trench coat.

The nine snow-white fox tails behind her were swaying uneasily, revealing her extremely turbulent inner state at this moment.

"Boss!"

A crisp voice broke the silence.

Reba, Mary, Chu Ling, and Lin Lang, who was wearing a khaki trench coat, ran up quickly from the foot of the mountain.

As soon as the four stunning beauties of different styles appeared, they instantly added a touch of brightness to these oppressive ruins.

"Is everyone unhurt?" Su Yang asked casually, carrying the bone club on his shoulder.

"Those old Taoist priests ran faster than rabbits, how could we get hurt?" Mary curled her lip, tossing a few blood-stained Storage Pouches in her hand.

Reba immediately saw Bai Li standing next to Su Yang.

When she saw Bai Li's world-toppling face and those nine fluffy tails, her eyes lit up instantly.

"Wow! What a beautiful fox sister!"

Reba was a lover of beauty; she ran straight over, wanting to touch but not quite daring to.

Bai Li shrank back behind Su Yang, looking at these suddenly appearing women with a wary gaze.

Especially that blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreign woman who carried a strong scent of blood, and the woman with a pale face wearing Qing Dynasty official robes.

The aura of these two made even her, a newly Breakthrough Nascent Soul Stage demon Cultivator, feel a sense of palpitations.

What shocked her even more was the last woman wearing sunglasses.

"You... you are the Yaochi Holy Maiden, Lin Lang?" Bai Li stared at Lin Lang, somewhat in disbelief.

The cultivation world was only so big; the Saintesses and Saints of the top powers naturally knew each other.

The Saintess of Qingqiu and the Yaochi Holy Maiden had even met a few times at the Cultivators' Assembly in the past.

Lin Lang took off her sunglasses, revealing an equally beautiful face, her expression a bit awkward.

"Sister Bai Li, long time no see."

"Why are you here? And why are you dressed like this?" Bai Li's head was full of question marks.

The dignified Yaochi Holy Maiden, instead of wearing her signature Golden Silk Phoenix Robe, was wearing a secular world trench coat and following this man named Su Yang?

"I..." Lin Lang bit her lip, her cheeks flushing slightly.

She couldn't very well say that because she lost a bet, she had now been incorporated as this man's intern maid.

Su Yang saw Lin Lang's embarrassment and waved his hand dismissively.

"Don't mind her, she's now my personal assistant and maid."

"As for you..."

Su Yang turned to look at Bai Li, a mischievous grin curling his lips.

"You are my wife now. By calculation, your status is one level higher than hers."

"Who is your wife!" Bai Li stomped her foot in anger, her nine tails instantly bristling, "I, the dignified Saintess of Qingqiu..."

"Alright, alright, why didn't you say you were a Saintess when you were nibbling on my mouth down there just now?" Su Yang interrupted her directly.

As soon as these words came out, Reba and Mary's eyes widened at the same time.

"Boss! You kissed the fox sister down there just now?!" Reba looked full of gossip.

"What do you mean I kissed her? That was to treat her illness! Physical Qi Transfer, do you understand?" Su Yang rolled his eyes, talking nonsense with a straight face.

Bai Li was mortified, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

This man was an utter rogue!

Just then.

The Great Elder of the Fox Clan led several hundred surviving fox demons, supporting each other as they walked onto the ruins of the main peak.

Seeing Bai Li, all the fox demons knelt on the ground in unison.

"Welcome the Saintess back from her seclusion!"

"Welcome the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox!"

Cries and shouts rang out in unison.

The shame and anger on Bai Li's face instantly faded, replaced by deep sorrow.

She stepped forward quickly and helped the Grand Elder up.

Looking at the corpses of her clansmen scattered all over the ground, Bai Li's eyes turned red, and a piercing killing intent surged in her purple eyes.

"Grand Elder, I saw it all."

Bai Li's voice was trembling.

"Shushan Sword Sect, Dragon Tiger Mountain Celestial Masters Sect... if I, Bai Li, do not avenge this blood debt, I swear I am not human!"

The Grand Elder wiped her tears and turned to look at Su Yang.

"Your Highness Saintess, this time it's all thanks to this Son-in-Law Su. If he hadn't smashed the haotian mirror with one blow, our Qingqiu would have been leveled long ago."

Saying that, the Grand Elder took out an ancient Fox-shaped Jade Talisman from her bosom and held it out with both hands to Su Yang.

"Son-in-Law Su, this is the key to the Qingqiu treasury. This great kindness cannot be repaid. Although Qingqiu has suffered this great disaster, our foundation still remains."

"All the Heaven And Earth Treasures in the treasury, you may take them all!"

The Grand Elder was a sensible person.

The cultivation world was realistic; why should someone offend all the Righteous Path in the world for you?

Naturally, one had to provide enough benefits.

Su Yang looked at the jade talisman but didn't reach out to take it.

Although he was greedy for money, he also had his principles.

"Old lady, take this thing back."

Su Yang took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag.

"I came here to save my wife, not to take advantage of the situation."

"Keep your Qingqiu's family assets for rebuilding the mountain gate. Besides, do you think the Righteous Path of this world are paupers?"

Su Yang exhaled a smoke ring and turned to look at Mary.

"Mary, I asked you to clean up the battlefield just now, how was the harvest?"

Hearing this, Mary immediately ran over excitedly.

"Boss! It's a bumper harvest!"

"Thousands of Alliance Cultivators died down there just now. Although most were blown to bits by your big pipe (Gatling), there are still many good things left!"

With a wave of Mary's hand, a small mountain of items poured out onto the ground.

Thousands of broken Flying Swords, hundreds of Storage Pouches, various fragments of Magical Artifacts, and piles of Spirit Stones.

Under the sunlight, this pile of "junk" emitted multi-colored light.

The fox demons were all stunned.

Are these people here to save someone, or are they here to restock?

After killing people, they even stripped everything off the bodies; this method is too professional!

"Good job."

Su Yang stepped forward, looking at the pile of loot.

"System, recycle everything."

"Ding! Detected a large number of damaged Magical Artifacts and Low-Grade Spirit Stones, recycling in progress..."

"Ding! Recycling successful! Obtained 25,000 points!"

A flash of white light passed, and the small mountain on the ground instantly disappeared.

Looking at the point balance on his personal panel, which had already exceeded the 100,000 mark, Su Yang snapped his fingers with satisfaction.

Killing and arson bring a golden belt; the ancients did not deceive me.

"Boss, the items are all collected, but two big fish got away."

Mary curled her lip with some regret.

"Those two leading old men used an Advanced teleportation talisman and disappeared without a trace, not even leaving a scent."

Hearing this, Bai Li's hand suddenly tightened.

Sword Without Limit and Zhang Zhengyang!

These two are the main culprits!

"Run?"

Su Yang sneered.

"If they can run away in front of me, I'll write my surname Su backwards."

"Didn't you ask me just now why I didn't kill them directly when I was spraying with the Gatling?"

Su Yang looked at Bai Li.

Bai Li was stunned. Indeed, with the terrifying strength Su Yang had just shown, if he really wanted to kill those two, they wouldn't have had the chance to crush the teleportation talisman.

"Because I did it on purpose."

Su Yang raised his right hand.

On the tip of his index finger, a tiny, extremely faint pure golden flame flickered.

"When I hit that Shushan old man's shoulder just now, I left a seed of 'Pure Yang True Fire' in the wound."

"This fire seed is like a maggot on a bone; no matter where he runs, as long as I don't extinguish it, it will keep burning."

"This is equivalent to a GPS tracker that can't be shaken off."

Su Yang closed his eyes, and his powerful Divine Sense instantly spread out.

In less than three seconds, he opened his eyes and looked towards the southwest.

"Found them."

"Southwest, three thousand miles away. That should be the Shushan Sword Sect's old nest."

Su Yang turned around and looked at Bai Li.

"Put the matters of Qingqiu aside for now and let the Grand Elder lead the people to repair the Mountain-Protecting Grand Formation."

"You come with me."

"Where to?" Bai Li asked subconsciously.

"To kill people."

Su Yang's tone was very flat, as if he were talking about what to eat for lunch today.

"Since you've become my wife, your grudge is my business."

"Today, I'll take you to raze the Shushan mountain gate."

Bai Li's heart skipped a beat.

Raze the Shushan mountain gate?

That is the leader of the Righteous Path that has been passed down for thousands of years!

Who knows how many Grand Elders and Mountain-Protecting Grand Formations are hidden inside.

He just casually said he was going to raze them?

"Are you... are you serious?" Bai Li swallowed.

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

Su Yang didn't bother to talk nonsense; he directly reached out, grabbed Bai Li's wrist, and pulled her to his side.

Then, he snapped his fingers towards the air.

"Little White Strip! Time to work!"

Roar—!

A deafening dragon roar exploded in the sky above Qingqiu Mountain.

Little White Strip, who had originally turned into a bracelet, instantly soared into the sky, restoring its original form as a Frost Giant Dragon dozens of meters long in mid-air.

The massive dragon pressure made the fox demons below kneel on the ground again, trembling.

"Get on."

Su Yang put his arm around Bai Li's waist, tapped his toes, and leaped directly onto the dragon's head.

Reba, Mary, Chu Ling, and Lin Lang also skillfully jumped onto the dragon's back, each finding a comfortable spot to sit.

"Target, Shushan Golden Peak."

Su Yang patted the dragon's horns.

"Full speed ahead. Before dark today, I want to see Shushan's plaque taken down and used for firewood."

"Sit tight, Boss!"

Little White Strip let out an excited roar.

Its huge dragon tail flicked violently, directly tearing through the clouds, turning into a white bolt of lightning, and racing towards the southwest.

...

Meanwhile.

In the heart of the southwest, deep within the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

Shushan Sword Sect, Golden Peak Great Hall.

This is the core Forbidden Ground of Shushan, where usually only the Sect Head and a few core Elders can enter.

But at this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was heavy to the extreme.

A flash of white light passed.

Sword Without Limit and Zhang Zhengyang fell onto the jade floor of the Golden Peak Great Hall in a wretched state.

"Pfft!"

As soon as Sword Without Limit landed, he spat out another large mouthful of black blood.

The blood hole on his left shoulder not only failed to heal but was also emitting golden sparks.

That burning sensation deep in his marrow made even this Nascent Soul Late Stage great Cultivator's face contort in pain.

"Sect Head Senior Brother!"

"What happened?!"

Several Elders on duty in the hall saw this and were scared out of their wits, rushing forward to support him.

When had they ever seen the invincible Sect Head Sword Without Limit so seriously injured?

"Don't touch me!"

Sword Without Limit pushed away the Elders who wanted to help him heal.

Clutching his wound, he stumbled towards the depths of the hall.

There hung a bronze ancient bell more than a person tall.

This was Shushan's [Heaven-Shaking Bell].

It could only be rung when the Sect was facing a disaster of total annihilation.

Once the bell rang, all Grand Elders in secluded life-and-death meditation must force their way out.

"Sect Head! You can't! Once the Heaven-Shaking Bell rings and those Grandmaster Uncles with depleted Lifespans come out, it will shorten their lives!" an Elder shouted in horror.

"I can't worry about that anymore!"

Sword Without Limit's eyes were bloodshot, his expression frenzied.

"The haotian mirror is broken! The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox of Qingqiu Mountain has awakened!"

"There's also a monster with an Ancient Thunder God bone! They will definitely come for us!"

"Quick!"

Sword Without Limit channeled his remaining spiritual energy and slammed into the bronze ancient bell.

"Clang—!!!"

A low, tragic bell toll, like a death knell.

It echoed for a long time in the sky above Shushan's Golden Peak.
