Ju Yin cleared the demonic energy of the Nine Jiaos and broke the contract between Xuan Ji and the Nine Jiaos, causing Xuan Ji to spit blood on the spot.
"You can actually break the contract of the demonic seed?" Xuan Ji looked at Ju Yin incredulously. She didn't know that Ju Yin had the demon stone. Without the demon stone, if the contract were forcefully broken, the nine Jiaolong would have died or been injured.
Seeing their former master, the Nine Jiaos rejoiced and leaped joyfully in the air. They hated Xuan Ji to the bone. On that day, when they disobeyed, she whipped them. If their master hadn't returned in time, they wouldn't have been able to resist the demonic energy for long with their immortal power. Once they were completely controlled by the demonic energy, they would have become demonic beings.
"You don't need to worry about that. You should think about how you want to die! Considering we are sisters, I'll give you a quick end!"
"Hahaha, sisters? Ju Yin, did you ever consider me a sister? You just pitied me, a small act of kindness from you, the high and mighty goddess. You treated that fox better than me. Why? Why were you born to be the center of attention? Only after you disappeared could everything of yours be mine.
Look, ever since you died, I became the Nine-Headed Xuan Nu, admired by immortals and worshipped by mortals with incense offerings. But you~ why did you have to come back?" Xuan Ji laughed maniacally, accusing Ju Yin. She was unconvinced; she had used all her might to obtain all of this...
Slap! Before a fiery red figure even got close, she had slapped Xuan Ji!
Xuan Ji turned back in hatred and saw Long Hu Hu standing opposite her. Her eyes widened in surprise. This was the female immortal she had encountered that day, the one who had also snatched her favorite Heavenly Silk Azure Robe.
"Truly shameless, how good your sister was to you back then! Ungrateful wretch!" Long Hu Hu and the Dragon God had both awakened and came out to find their sister, only to witness this scene.
"It's you! You were the one who attacked me that night?" As soon as Long Hu Hu spoke, Xuan Ji recognized the female voice from the night she was attacked and beaten with a staff.
"Yes, it was me! You deserve to die!" Long Hu Hu remembered that when her sister went out to battle, she had lied to her, saying her sister was injured. By the time she rushed there in a panic, she had been captured and used to threaten her sister...
"You are Long Hu Hu?" Xuan Ji couldn't believe it. The Long Hu Hu of the past was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl. She never knew that Long Hu Hu would grow up to be so beautiful! It made sense now; they had recognized her that day. And Beiqi City and Bingyue City were the closest, so everything she did was almost under their watchful eyes.
Long Hu Hu flicked her spiritual whip. If she didn't beat her, her hatred wouldn't be quelled.
"Ah~~~" Xuan Ji screamed. Her immortal power had already been sealed by Ju Yin, and at this moment, she endured the blows directly, causing her to writhe on the ground in pain.
"Stop, so young, yet so cruel!" Suddenly, ripples rolled through the air, and a male voice echoed.
Seeing that Long Hu Hu did not stop, the newcomer flicked his sleeve, intending to send Hu Hu flying. Ji Wu Ye, seeing this, lightning-fast embraced Hu Hu. The palm strike hit Ji Ye Ye, who grunted and staggered a few steps while holding Long Hu Hu before steadying himself.
"Wu Ye Ge Ge, are you alright?" Long Hu Hu was greatly alarmed. She could have completely dodged that palm strike!
"Shameless!" Ju Yin was furious and thrust her sword, filled with anger, directly at the newcomer.
"Haotian Divine Venerable, save me!" Xuan Ji cried out urgently upon seeing the newcomer!
Haotian Divine Venerable had no time to speak before Ju Yin's fierce sword forced him to reveal himself.
"What a domineering swordsmanship, Ju Yin Divine Venerable, it's been a while!" He sidestepped the sword energy, and with a crack, the barrier around the training ground split open.
Haotian Divine Venerable was startled. He hadn't expected the rumored Ju Yin Divine Venerable's swordsmanship to be so terrifying. If not for his recent cultivation breakthrough and emergence from seclusion, he might not have been able to withstand her for more than a few blows.
Ju Yin pressed forward, delivering three consecutive swords that forced the opponent to summon his innate divine sword to block.
Ju Yin was also surprised; this person was so strong. The opponent seemed to be using only thirty percent of his cultivation.
Long Hu Hu gave Ji Wu Ye a healing pill and, seeing he was alright, finally relaxed. She watched the two figures fighting fiercely in the air.
"Sister, I'll help you!" Long Hu Hu said, intending to fly up. She looked back and saw the Dragon God holding her hand.
"Father is here!" The Dragon God's expression was terrifyingly calm. He recognized this cultivation technique; it belonged to one of the people who had surrounded and attacked him back then. Faces could change, but cultivation techniques were hard to conceal!
Roar! The Dragon God leaped forward, transforming into a divine dragon, and clawed at Haotian Divine Venerable. Simultaneously, he gently pushed Ju Yin away with his tail:
"Little Ju Yin, Uncle Long is here. This is an old friend!"
Haotian Divine Venerable was stunned to see the divine dragon. The Dragon Prince? Why wasn't he dead? No wonder his eyelid had twitched upon receiving the Xuan Nu's token of communication today.
"Haotian? The reckoning from that year should be settled today!"
"Divine Venerable Ye, is this how you treat guests? You start fighting as soon as you enter your divine palace!" Haotian saw the Dragon God's ferocious aura and knew it would be difficult to resolve this today. He shouldn't have come.
"It wasn't me who called you here. You attacked my goddaughter as soon as you arrived, and I didn't intervene, considering it giving you face," Divine Venerable Ye suddenly appeared on the rooftop, holding a pot of immortal wine.
It seemed his good daughter had calmed down considerably, and she probably wouldn't pursue the matter of his unilaterally arranging their engagement. It was also not in vain that he intentionally let Haotian in.
"Dragon Prince, I have no grievances with you, what reckoning do you want to settle?" Divine Venerable Ye had disguised himself that day, so the Dragon Prince naturally had no idea who it was.
"Is that so? Your two old friends have been invited by me to chaos and are enjoying themselves. You should accompany them," the Dragon God said, not holding back his attacks with various arts.
"Audacious, who are you? That is Haotian Divine Venerable, and you dare to disrespect Haotian Divine Venerable, you are truly seeking death!"
Haotian was slammed to the ground by the dragon's tail, landing right in front of Xuan Ji. Xuan Ji was startled and loudly berated the Dragon God!
With a glance from the Dragon God, Xuan Ji suddenly lost the ability to speak. She was terrified. Who exactly was this person? He was even stronger than Haotian Divine Venerable!
Haotian Divine Venerable clutched his chest and stood up from the pit. Back then, five people had surrounded and attacked him, and only barely managed to push him into a void rift. He thought the Dragon Prince was surely dead, but he never expected him to return alive.
Was what he said just now true? Divine Venerable Huanyu, Venerable Qinghua, had they all perished? He couldn't believe it, but he had to. It was this girl who had led him astray today. That night of passion with the demonic woman had led to a great mistake. If the Heavenly Realm knew that the immortal Haotian Divine Venerable had a child with a demonic woman, his status would be compromised. But after all, it was his own blood. He picked up Xuan Ji and escaped using a secret technique.
No one had expected that Haotian would be willing to save Xuan Ji. Long Hu Hu looked at the resemblance between Xuan Ji and Haotian, wondering if Xuan Ji was his daughter.
"Sister, is Xuan Ji that man's daughter? They look very much alike," Hu Hu said immediately, thinking of it.
"It's not impossible!" Divine Venerable Ye flew down, shaking his immortal gourd. He vaguely recalled that Haotian had been exploring demonic creatures and had disappeared in the outer domain for a long time. If this hypothesis were true, it would explain why he was involved in that matter back then.
