Yinshan Record

Chapter 259 Why the Scheme?
Please go back and make offerings; this is, of course, an offering in the sense of making offerings on paper.

Considering the meaning behind the tiger demon's speech to the guests, it's clear that his sister changes husbands every five years, which is quite a frequency.

He Wuji remained calm, his face showing neither sorrow nor joy.

"My father is but a down-on-his-luck scholar. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and let my father and me return home..."

"Today is a joyous day, and you are considered my junior."

The tiger demon remained calm: "I won't discuss these things with you."

He turned to look at Yan Qi on the other side: "Is this friend from the East Sea?"

Yan Qi raised his wine cup with both hands, offering a toast to the tiger demon in front of him.

"Today is the occasion of your sister's wedding, and all is well with the guests. Does it really matter whether I come from the East Sea or the West?"

"Good, they're all straightforward people."

The tiger demon stretched out his hand, and naturally, some of his demons and ghosts touched the large white porcelain bowl filled with wine.

"Oh dear, how can I enjoy myself to the fullest? I don't want my friends to laugh at my low alcohol tolerance."

He grabbed the wine jar and took a big gulp. However, most of the wine spilled down his neck.

"It is truly an honor to meet you both today. Please, would you please move to the main table with me?"

"You may sit, but I have a small matter to ask you, Master."

Yan Qi smiled and looked at Su Che on the other side.

“I think this friend must also be curious,” Yan Qi asked with a smile. “I see that the host’s aura is condensed and imposing, which is the kind of scene that only appears when the Primordial Chaos Dao is pushed to the fifth grade.”

The methods of demonic cultivation are more elegantly referred to as the Primordial Dao.

The tiger demon nodded rather proudly.

"Your sister must come from a prestigious family. There are countless beautiful women in the world that your sister could enjoy, so why did she choose this man's father?"

Yan Qi looked puzzled: "There's a saying that you can tell autumn is coming from seeing a single falling leaf. Although I haven't seen the groom yet, judging from this man's appearance..."

Yan Qi pointed to He Wuji on the side.

This top student of Bailudong Tiansi Academy does indeed look quite ordinary.

"Haha, my sister's cultivation method is different from mine, and we are not from the same lineage, but are godparents."

Su Che tried to recall the major demons of Cizhou, but he couldn't remember such a person.

The famous monsters of Cizhou either died or fled during the Xuanshan Incident; those that remained were all nameless and unrecognizable.

“So they are godparents, then I understand.”

Yan Qi clapped her hands lightly.

"The fact that they change positions every five years suggests they're following the path of 'sexual exploitation,' and it's probably quite domineering."

Yan Qi raised his wine glass: "Then I wish the couple a happy five-year marriage and the bride a successful completion of her spiritual practice soon."

The tiger demon's face was ashen, much like He Wuji's expression on the other side.

Yan Qi's words were a bit excessive, but they hadn't reached the point where they would force everyone to take action.

Even though he was angry, he couldn't lash out because Su Che, whose true nature was unclear, was right there beside him.

"Actually, there's no need to make a big fuss about this kind of thing."

Madam Xie suddenly smiled. Even though she was dressed in men's clothing, the allure in her eyes was undeniable.

"Just knock them out and drag them back to get things done. Such a grand ceremony can only mean they have ulterior motives."

As she spoke, Madam Xie turned her gaze to He Wuji on the other side.

The tiger demon could no longer save face. He looked at Su Che, his aura condensing around him.

As the saying goes, the wind follows the tiger, and the clouds follow the dragon.

Enraged, the demon unleashed a fierce storm that swept through the mountains and forests.

The faces of all the demon and ghost guests at the banquet changed.

"So you two are here to stick your neck out?" the tiger demon said, looking at He Wuji, whose face was ashen.

"Don't worry, they are not the helpers I hired."

He Wuji pulled out a box made of dark wood from his sleeve. It was over six feet long and completely black, indicating that he was also carrying some kind of magical artifact that could store items.

"You've barged into my home and taken my father hostage; are you trying to force me out?"

He Wuji gripped the dark wooden box with both hands, his aura rising in layers. Although he was only at the seventh rank of cultivation, a compelling sharpness suddenly emanated from him.

"I'm right here now. Kill me, torture me, or devour me alive. Let's see how you do it."

The tiger demon's eyes swept over the dark wooden box in He Wuji's hand.

"Good, as expected of a disciple of White Deer Cave, you are so straightforward, saving me a lot of trouble."

He narrowed his eyes, his gaze towards Su Che and Yan Qi filled with undisguised murderous intent.

Among the surrounding guests, a group of demons and ghosts wore mocking and vicious expressions. It turned out that most of the demons were the tiger demon's subordinates, while the ghosts were all his accomplices who were devoured and driven by him.

"Are you two coming up too?"

Su Che slowly shook his head.

"Please proceed, Master."

Although he claimed he wouldn't interfere, lightning flickered faintly in Su Che's eyes. A multitude of yin energies emanated from his body, within which numerous ferocious ghost faces roared, and a military aura no weaker than that of a vicious tiger surged into the sky.

Yan Qi extended his right index finger and drew a line in front of him. A pure and harmonious sword intent transformed into a sword circle, isolating the two people's outward-released murderous aura.

"Don't make a move, don't make a move."

The old man sitting on the chairman's seat stretched out his two palm-leaf fans and waved them.

"Let me say something."

The old ox strode over and bowed to the tiger demon.

"Mountain Lord, since this is a family matter, it's best not to involve others."

Old Niu stared at Madam Xie and the Prince of Wuling with his bull-like eyes: "Now that the marriage is arranged, the Mountain Lord is this boy's uncle. It's best for you outsiders not to interfere when the uncle is disciplining his nephew."

He said this while looking at Su Che.

"Sir, don't you agree?"

Did this rough blank recognize me?
Su Che glanced at him.

But the old ox's face didn't reveal anything.

"I think what Brother Niu said makes sense."

Su Che looked at Yan Qi beside him.

What does Brother Yan think?

"I hate trouble the most, and I've never liked meddling in other people's business."

Yan Qi spread his hands: "Since everyone says it's an uncle disciplining his nephew, then let's just say it's an uncle disciplining his nephew."

"He does not need anyone's help in his fight."

He Wuji slapped the dark wood box in his hand, and a jet-black longsword was unsheathed. It was nearly six feet long, and the blade was engraved with layers of gold patterns. As soon as the weapon was drawn, it exuded an astonishing sharpness.

"Since I've been tricked by you, you beast, then I'll just use my long sword to settle things."

The tiger demon waved his hand, signaling the demons and their accomplices to sit down.

“Your father and my sister are eyeing each other. If you don’t believe me, I can call your father out to meet you.”

The tiger demon crossed his arms and said, "It was a marriage of mutual consent and proper ceremony, with all the formalities and betrothal gifts included."

"I thought that since you had achieved the Rejuvenation Pill, you should be considered a person of importance. You went to so much trouble, only to have me underestimate you for no reason."

The tiger demon was speechless upon hearing this.
