157: Fox Demon in Danger

Under the moonlight, Gu Yuchuan traveled leisurely. Now that the danger had passed, there was no need to be so exhausted. Originally, he wanted to take a flying boat, but it wasn't far from Chaoyang City. Taking a flying boat would mean waiting until tomorrow, but if he traveled on foot, he could arrive tonight. Thus, he chose to travel by land.

Suddenly, he accelerated his pace, feeling that his decision to travel on foot was very wise. He could sense that the Jade Slip he had given to Hu Mingyu had been activated. This meant she was in danger. That was his newly accepted Disciple, a true Spirit Beast with the potential for the Golden Core Stage; nothing could be allowed to go wrong.

He transformed into his original form, and Soaring on Clouds and Riding the Mist was unleashed. His flight speed was incredibly fast; he had to protect his Disciple and ensure she wasn't harmed.

At this moment, near Chaoyang City, the Hu Residence was indeed under attack. Attacking them was actually a Ghostly Creature at the First Layer of Foundation Establishment. Hu Wei relied on the power of the Divine Dao to barely resist, but he was at the end of his rope.

This Ghostly Creature was very hideous, laughing incessantly: "You City God lineage actually dare to be so ungrateful. Today, our Mang Mountain lineage will ensure that all Divine Dao Cultivators in Chaoyang City perish."

It wasn't just the Hu Residence; all Divine Dao lineages in Chaoyang City were under attack. For some unknown reason, none of the other Cultivators stepped forward to help them. The Hu Residence was finally breached. That Hu Wei was, to put it bluntly, merely a Cultivator at the Qi Refinement Stage. That he could resist until now was entirely due to relying on the power of Divine Dao incense.

However, the City God himself was currently under attack, and he had no more strength to help his subordinates and believers. Without leaving a single word, Hu Wei died at the hands of the malevolent ghost.

At the critical moment, Hu Mingyu activated her Jade Slip, protecting herself and her closest sister, Hu Mingxin. The two of them cried miserably as their family members died one by one before their eyes. But they were helpless; the Jade Slip could only protect the two of them.

This Jade Slip was a defensive item Gu Yuchuan had left for her, and it was indeed quite small. It was not easy for this protection to even envelop the two little foxes. They cried and screamed continuously, but they could not stop the deaths of their kin.

However, these little foxes had their own hope before they died. They could all see that even this malevolent ghost at the Foundation Establishment Stage could not break through the defense before them. At least someone would survive, and that was enough.

This malevolent ghost was called the Green-Faced Rakshasa, a ghost general under the Mang Mountain Ghost King. For some unknown reason, the Mang Mountain Ghost King wanted to massacre the Chaoyang City lineage, leaving no one alive.

At this moment, the Green-Faced Rakshasa looked at the green light shield before him, his expression filled with helplessness. He had already poured a lot of magic power into it, but he could clearly sense that he couldn't break this defense. He could only wait for it to disappear, though he didn't know when that would be.

The Ghost King had said they could only act tonight. They had paid a great price to smooth things over. Once dawn broke, everything would be different, and the other Cultivators in Chaoyang City would no longer pretend not to see.

However, letting these two little foxes go was clearly not a good idea. Letting go of enemies with good Aptitude was like digging a pit for one's future self.

Therefore, the Green-Faced Rakshasa could only have his subordinates repeatedly desecrate the corpses while using words to delude them.

"You two cowards! Look, your siblings and your grandfather have all died at our hands. Even their corpses cannot rest in peace and must be constantly tortured by us. Don't you want to collect their remains?"

Clearly, Hu Mingyu couldn't take it anymore. She howled continuously and even wanted to step out. Fortunately, Hu Mingxin was there, holding her sister tightly.

"Calm down! They just want us to go out so they can kill us. If you die, how will you avenge everyone later? Listen, only you can seek revenge. You have a good Master, and your future cultivation won't be low. Our entire family's vengeance rests on your shoulders. You can't be like this. From now on, you must cultivate well, remember their faces, and avenge everyone! Do you understand?"

Hu Mingyu slowly calmed down, though two streaks of bloody tears still flowed down. "Sister, I won't forget. I will definitely have my revenge. I've remembered all of them, including that Mang Mountain Ghost King. I won't let him off."

The Green-Faced Rakshasa burst out laughing. "This is the funniest joke I've ever heard. Two little Yao at the Qi Refining Realm saying they won't let our Golden Core Stage Great King off. Hahaha, how can you be so absurd?"

At that moment, a massive pressure enveloped the entire Hu Residence. A twenty-meter giant python descended from the sky, its triangular pupils filled with killing intent. Seeing that Hu Mingyu was still alive, it breathed a sigh of relief.

With a flick of his tail, the seemingly invincible Green-Faced Rakshasa was knocked to the ground, unable to even crawl back up. The immense force left him covered in blood. "Is it you, this ignorant thing, who dares to touch my Disciple?"

After speaking, he transformed into human form, and hope instantly filled the two little foxes.

The Green-Faced Rakshasa struggled a few times but still couldn't stand. "Senior of the Yao Race, I am a subordinate of the Mang Mountain Ghost King. Our Ghost King is a powerhouse at the Golden Core Second Layer, not someone you can afford to provoke. You are not of the Divine Dao, not our target this time. If you leave now, I can act as if nothing happened."

Gu Yuchuan snorted coldly. "You killed my Disciple's family and even wanted to kill my Disciple; your fate is already sealed. You are the subordinate of a Golden Core Stage powerhouse? Well, I am a subordinate of the Yao Sovereign. If there's any problem, let him go to the Cloud Sea Marsh to find the Yao Sovereign. As for you, die."

Suddenly, a firm voice came from behind: "Revered Master, please wait."

Gu Yuchuan turned his head in confusion and saw his little Disciple walking out with forceful steps. "Revered Master, I want to kill them with my own hands. Please, Revered Master, help me suppress them. I want to avenge my family."

"Good!" Gu Yuchuan shouted. Having such a decisive Heart-Nature for slaughter was definitely a good thing. He believed that after seeking revenge, this incident would not become her Heart Demon but would instead become the motivation for her cultivation. Gu Yuchuan immediately used his magic power to suppress those Ghostly Creatures.

Hu Mingyu used her weak magic power to kill them one by one. Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all these Ghostly Creatures died miserably at the hands of this little fox. After the killing was done, she threw herself into Gu Yuchuan's arms and began to cry.

"Master, I only have my sister left as family."

She cried so miserably that it made Gu Yuchuan sigh at the impermanence of the world. After a long time, she finally regained her composure. "Revered Master, your Disciple has been impetuous."

Gu Yuchuan shook his head. "Forget it. Take your sister and come with me."
