Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 962 The Sixth Disappearance Case
Dao Yi looked at it strangely: "Do I look fierce?"

The little monster dared not utter a sound; it clearly sensed from the other party the aura of many monsters that had been killed.

This is a dishonest and vicious human.

That was the little monster's judgment.

Dao Yi doesn't have the ability to read minds, so she considers her smile to be very gentle.

"Little one, where are your family?"

The little monster stared at her in shock. This person not only wanted to eat it, but also wanted to lure its family out to eat it as well.

That's absolutely terrifying!

Liang Yuan sighed, "Didn't this guy realize that the little monster was already very scared?"
Even so, Liang Yuan did not interrupt the man and the beast. He wanted to see what Dao Yi was planning to do if he caught it but didn't eat it.

Seeing that the little demon beast didn't respond, Dao picked it up and examined it carefully from head to toe, then said in confusion, "This shouldn't be the case."

The little monster, feeling utterly hopeless, closed its eyes once more, deciding that if it couldn't see anything, it would pretend it knew nothing.

Liang Yuan became curious. "Xiao Yi, what are you talking about?" He also reminded Yi, "Aren't you hungry?"

Dao Yi held the little monster up to Liang Yuan and said, "Uncle, it looks very similar to a monster I saw all over the world!"

Liang Yuan laughed, “People can be similar, and things can be the same; there’s nothing strange about it.”

Dao Yi shook his head. “It really looks just like the ones I’ve seen around the world.” As he spoke, Dao Yi stroked the little monster’s head and said to Liang Yuan, “According to the ‘Hundred Demon Records,’ they are the Xingxing clan.”

"What kind of 'Hundred Demon Compendium' can record all the demon beasts of my Xuantian Continent?"

"Uncle, wait a minute!" Dao Yi rummaged through her clothes and pulled out a yellowed book with a worn cover, clearly from being frequently read. She handed it to Liang Yuan, "This is the 'Hundred Demon Compendium'."

Liang Yuan took the "Compendium of One Hundred Demons," opened it to the first page, and found information about the Xingxing.

The description of its appearance is exactly the same as the little monster in front of us.

Liang Yuan flipped through several more pages, growing increasingly alarmed. "Where did you get this book?"

Dao Yi: "."

Dao Yi suddenly felt a little embarrassed to speak. She suddenly realized that Jiuxiao Temple was where it was today entirely because the old man had stolen it.

Hmm, I wonder if Jiuxiao Temple can find any worshippers now.

On second thought, she had given so much; she deserved a reward from the imperial court.

His thoughts had wandered a bit, but Dao Yi snapped back to reality and told him the truth.

Wu Xiang acted first, and Ling Xuzi and the others acted to protect themselves later.

Liang Yuan's attention was not on Ling Xuzi's swindling of Wu Xiang's house at all. He held the "Hundred Demon Compendium" in his hands and said with some nostalgia, "In the past, the people of our Baimin tribe had a much more detailed understanding of the various demon beasts than what is recorded in this book."

Liang Yuan's tone was tinged with nostalgia as he spoke, turning a few more pages.

Seeing something, Liang Yuan flipped through the book faster and faster, finishing it in no time. But then he flipped back and forth, as if searching for something.

Not wanting to disturb Liang Yuan, Dao Yi supported the little Xingxing's front legs and looked into its clear little eyes.

She shook the baby Xing's forelegs. "Has your tribe ever lost a Xing?"

Although the little ape didn't want to be eaten, it was prepared to die so as not to betray its kind.

Upon hearing Dao Yi's words, it let out an "ah," not expecting that the question asked by the other party was not something that would put it in a difficult position. With the mindset of living a little longer, the little Xingxing even tried its best to speak more carefully.

After listening to the little ape's words, Dao Yi put it down. He stroked its head a few more times, saying, "The one I saw around the world should have been your kin. It was killed, and the one who killed it is also dead."

"Go back to your clan and tell them," Dao Yi said, placing the little Xingxing in the forest and letting it leave on its own.

The little monkey looked back several times as it took a step, and after confirming that the other party really had no intention of harming it, it ran away in a flash.

After the little monkey had run far away, Liang Yuan had already closed the book.

Liang Yuan returned the "Hundred Demon Compendium" to Dao Yi, "Xiao Yi, are you sure this book was stolen from that person named Wu Xiang by your master?"

Dao nodded slightly. "Is there a problem?"

Liang Yuan hummed in agreement. “The contents recorded in the ‘Hundred Demon Records’ are extremely similar to the habits of the demon beasts recorded by my Bai Min tribe.” He paused for a moment, then added, “It’s not accurate to say they are similar; they are exactly the same.”

"Ah!" Dao Yi was a little confused. "Is the 'Hundred Demon Records' a book of the Bai people tribe?"

Liang Yuan's expression was not good. "If there are no surprises, the 'Hundred Demon Compendium' did indeed come from the handwriting of a member of the Bai Min tribe. But how did Wu Xiang obtain it? The Bai Min tribe has always kept to themselves and others."

Dao Yi: "The ability to control beasts is unique to the Bai people tribe. The tribe did not communicate with outsiders in the past. How could my uncle not know that such an important manuscript has been lost?"

If Liang Yuan had known, his reaction would not have been the same as before.

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan frowned: "I remembered something from the past, which may be related to this."

From Liang Yuan, Dao Yi learned another story from the cultivation world.

Several hundred years ago, the Xuan Tian Continent experienced a period of chaos.

The dynastic changes were comparable to those around the world, a chaotic and dark age, recorded in books left by our predecessors; the darkness of the Xuan Tian Continent was so profound that many people didn't even have time to react before their souls were scattered, leaving not a single word behind, and they were completely separated from this world.

During that period, all cultivators lived in fear.

Impure energy was also generated within the spiritual energy, making cultivation increasingly difficult.

Dark clouds loomed over everyone's heads, and order was thrown off balance in an instant.

No one knows when the chaos started, and it wasn't until the turbid air gradually dissipated that order returned to normal.

It was at this time that everyone discovered that their sects had lost some important books and other items. The Bai people, who had survived the chaos by virtue of their special bloodline, became the object of everyone's suspicion.

At the same time, the relationship between the Baimin tribe and the Beast Taming Sect was exposed.

For a time, the Bai people were universally condemned.

The various sects on the Xuantian Continent were eyeing the Baimin tribes and their main goal was to capture them; the demonic beasts were purely meant to kill the Baimin tribes.

Liang Yuan sighed: "Perhaps this notebook was lost around that time."

Chaotic times are often accompanied by painful and tragic memories.

Dao Yi remained silent for a long time. She hadn't expected that the story of the Bai Min tribe that Liang Yuan hadn't finished telling was related to the entire Xuan Tian Continent.

It's not surprising that Wuxiang took it while the Xuan Tian Continent was in chaos.

But Wuxiang is still alive, and he has a grudge against them. If this is not resolved soon, it will always be a big problem.

"Uncle, let's go back to the Ice Plains as soon as possible." Dao Yi didn't even think about eating anymore. She wanted to seize the time to cultivate and also wanted to ask Little Fatty for help.

I had almost finished writing this chapter when I realized the content had deviated from the original plan, so I had to delete it and rewrite it.

Thank you for the monthly pass, Dayanfeihong! Mwah~
Happy April!
