421: The Fang Family Patriarch's Deathly Counterattack (asking for monthly tickets)

In the Ten Thousand Mountains, the night was like ink, and the vast mountain ranges stretched out like a painting, resembling a colossal beast ready to devour its prey. Countless roars sent shivers down one's spine.

At this moment, above the sky, amidst the clouds, a flowing cloud rolled. Within the clouds, a three-zhang long black-awning boat sailed through the air, hidden among the mists. Its speed was swift, yet it moved as silently as a fish gliding through water.

On the bow deck, four figures stood. Leading the way, a figure in green stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering. His eyes glowed with golden light, surveying the pitch-black clouds like a brilliant divine eye, scrutinizing the path ahead.

The three figures behind him had sharp gazes, maintaining their vigilance, their bodies slightly tensed.

These four were Chen Yuan and the Tai Sui Mountain Three Taibao!

The reason for their tension was that they had now entered the territory of the Celestial Dog Clan, one of the Ten Fiends!

“Brother Chen finally received news from outside the mountain and is preparing to act.”

Knowing that this journey was fraught with unpredictable dangers, the San Taibao dared not show the slightest negligence, bracing their spirits.

They were currently heading into the heart of Yin Mountain, a route clearly different from their previous path.

Previously, they had avoided areas where Demonic Qi gathered, choosing to travel through desolate and secluded places under Chen Yuan's leadership, leaving no trace. Now, below the clouds, demonic roars were constant, and from time to time, astonishing Demonic Qi could be sensed sweeping past them in their direction of travel.

Fortunately, the boat's Divine Ability to conceal its whereabouts was extraordinary, and Brother Chen had a divine eye for early warning. Along the way, they encountered no major setbacks.

After approximately a stick of incense, the San Taibao slowly felt the air around them change. From the slight coolness of the night, it gradually became scorching hot, and as they continued to advance, the temperature rose higher and higher, and the fiery Qi in the air gradually grew denser.

Soon, the rapidly advancing black-awning boat slowly came to a halt. Chen Yuan, standing at the bow, waved his sleeve downwards.

Immediately, the clouds below dispersed one by one, revealing a dark red night sky!

Looking down, the four could clearly see a dense cluster of volcanoes below. Pungent sulfuric black smoke formed columns of smoke that rose into the long sky. Fiery red lava, like the blood of the earth, flowed across the scorched ground, a shocking and terrifying sight.

From within the volcanoes, piercing shrieks could be heard, rising and falling, capable of piercing metal and shattering stone.

Within a large river formed by flowing red lava below, a black snake, seven to eight zhang long, could be seen bathing in the lava, spewing fire essence and stirring up trouble. However, its black snake body was segmented like a centipede, and the most conspicuous feature was the snake's tail, which forked into a hook, emitting a sharp, cold glint.

Chen Yuan withdrew his gaze from this strange great snake, then raised his right hand and opened his palm. In an instant, a golden light rose from his palm, revealing a map.

He moved his left hand across the map, then tapped a spot.

Golden light flickered, and a snake pattern appeared on it.

This pattern was almost identical to the large snake below.

At the same time, a string of information surfaced in Chen Yuan's mind: “Xian Ti Mountain, located west of Yin Mountain. The mountains contain a large river of fiery lava, where Gou Snakes reside, with a bifurcated tail.”

“We've arrived!” Chen Yuan clenched his palm, and the golden light extinguished. Confirming the information, he looked down with a sharp, cold glint in his eyes and slowly said:

“This place is called Xian Ti Mountain, west of Yin Mountain. The large snakes living in this area are called Gou Snakes, an affiliated Yao Race within the Celestial Dog Clan's sphere of influence. Further west is Yin Mountain, where the Celestial Dog Clan resides!”

“We'll start here!”

Jin Yu Mountain, who was beside him, took over the conversation at the appropriate moment. He did not object, but was somewhat puzzled, “Brother Chen, what is your plan? Why not go directly to Yin Mountain? Brother Chen said that the information from outside the mountain confirmed that the Celestial Dog Clan's teleportation array is a Moon Laurel Tree within their clan. Why not go there and then act as circumstances dictate?”

Chen Yuan shook his head, “The risk is too great!”

“We know nothing about that place. Rushing in blindly would introduce too many uncontrollable variables. Even though the Celestial Dog Clan, as one of the Ten Fiends, has been sealed for a thousand years, their foundation is hard to fathom. There might be Old Ancestors who have not died, and they could have unpredictable methods to detect us.”

“However, a subordinate Yao Mountain like Xian Ti Mountain, which belongs to the Celestial Dog Clan's affiliated Yao Race, is relatively less dangerous. Moreover, at this time, the Celestial Dog Clan is dispatching troops outside the mountain, and the Hooked Snake Clan is among them. We can very well use this Dao to infiltrate Yin Mountain and investigate information about Yin Mountain and that tree. This is Chen's current plan!”

“If there are changes, we will adapt accordingly!”

Upon hearing this, Jin Yu Mountain and the other two had no superfluous words. They hardened their resolve, “Then we shall follow Brother Chen's words!”

Chen Yuan nodded. With a shake of his foot, the black-awning boat below hummed. The white mist that enveloped it swirled, instantly transforming into a wisp of smoke hidden in the night, heading straight for Xian Ti Mountain below.

And just as Chen Yuan and the others infiltrated Xian Ti Mountain, thousands of li away, at Mount Dakui on the eastern border of Gǔdiāo, the mountains were collapsing, the Void Realm trembled, astonishing spiritual light pierced the night sky, and startling demonic roars echoed through the air.

One could see countless feathers piercing the sky in the brilliant night, their Aura astonishing, accompanied by a piercing air current, shooting towards a giant in the air!

Gǔdiāo, some green, some red, some silver, soared through the sky, their bodies, seemingly forged from divine iron, shimmered with blazing precious light, unleashing brilliant Divine Abilities, besieging the gigantic Dharma Idol in the center.

In the eye of the storm, that gigantic Dharma Idol, a hundred and twenty zhang tall, like a great mountain, was now stained with demonic blood, its brows and eyes filled with bloodshot veins. Upon closer inspection of its brows and eyes, it was none other than the Fang Family Old Ancestor, who had been pursued and was fleeing everywhere.

At this moment, this Fang Family Old Ancestor's Dharma Idol was cracked, and the black flames he had comprehended, containing creation, were only a few zhang in size, being chipped away by streaks of feather divine light. Even more tragic was that this Fang Family Old Ancestor's two arms were empty, a result of the previous encirclement, after which he had escaped like a stray dog.

But now, being surrounded again, he was like a lamp whose oil had run out. To stubbornly resist would only lead to death.

At this moment, around the Void Realm, four dazzling divine lights, tall demonic figures clad in scales and with wings, their pupils flashing with chilling demonic light, stared at this Fang Family Old Ancestor. Feathers flew like swords, like ten thousand sword lights, besieging him, intending to grind him to death.

“Pfft”

“Pfft”

“Pfft”

Watching his creation divine fire, which he had painstakingly comprehended a trace of over many years, being chipped away inch by inch,

The Fang Family Old Ancestor, who had been enraged and fought these demons with bloodshot eyes, now finally felt the fear of death, as well as an indescribable anger and resentment.

He roared, “You can't kill me! This Old Ancestor has the Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General's mark!”

“I can't find him, he tricked me! He tricked me!”

“If you want it, go find it yourselves!”

This Fang Family Old Ancestor's bloodshot eyes were filled with madness, his eyeballs bulging hideously.

“You are the one who deserves to die, Ninth Mountain Zhonglang General!” (End of chapter)
