Poverty

Chapter 1844 Little Demon King

Yuan Jue was somewhat annoyed that he had failed to capture Li Yanchu, so he leaped into the air and attacked.

Although he was thin and withered, he possessed immense power and lunged at the three of them in an instant.

But at that moment, a slender hand reached out from the void.

He held a bell in his hand, which jingled and rang out as it struck Yuan Jue directly.

Yuan Jue's figure was immediately brought to a stop, his attack abruptly halted.

The power of the Great Dao erupted around him, making him look extremely fierce.

At this moment, a girl dressed in fiery red clothes ran out from the void.

She wore bells on her wrists and ankles, tied with red ropes, and her calves were wrapped with a thin rope, making her look slender, round, and fleshy.

The girl in the fiery red dress said with a smile, "Skinny monkey, how could you be so mean? People come to the Dao Domain to study, but you insist on inviting them to your place on the way. Besides, is that what you call an invitation?"

Yuan Jue's face was cold and stern as he said in a deep voice, "Xu Miaozhen, this is a matter of my old home. If you don't want to die, get out of my way!"

Upon hearing this, the girl put her hands on her hips. Her waist was slender, revealing a glimpse of her small waist, and a gemstone was embedded above her navel, exuding an exotic charm.

She said fiercely, "You skinny monkey, you really think you can turn the world upside down? I'll smash your dog head in!"

She then threw the bell in her hand away.

The bell whistled in the wind and spun around, hurtling towards Yuan Jue in an instant.

This bell possessed immense power, as if an entire universe had crushed it.

At this moment, Yuan Jue had a fierce look on his face, and in an instant, he revealed the true form of the Great Demon Ape, his body becoming extremely majestic and imposing.

However, at this moment, the girl dressed in fiery red directly took out an ancient spaceship.
He grabbed Li Yanchu, Yu Shu, and Chen Sui and pulled them onto the spaceship.

After Yuan Jue knocked the bell away with his attack, the bell shrank instantly and returned to the girl's hand.

Meanwhile, the girl had already piloted the ancient spaceship and soared far away.

Yuan Jue roared angrily, "Where do you think you're going!"

He was sent by the Grand Master to invite Li Yanchu. If he let them escape like this, how could he face returning to his homeland?

At this moment, he rushed forward in a rage, wishing he could tear the girl to pieces.

But he chased after her for a long time without finding any trace of her; she seemed to have vanished in an instant.

Yuan Jue was immediately furious: "Damn Xu Miaozhen, I had long heard that she had won that woman's favor and was proficient in the Great Dao of Void. It seems that what she said was true."

Recalling Xu Miaozhen's connection with that woman, Yuan Jue's expression turned somewhat solemn.

He scratched the back of his head and sighed.

"The Grand Master gave me a death order to come and fetch the person. If I go back without succeeding, won't he chop me up?"

Yuan Jue suddenly had a thought.
"By the way, someone was intercepting Xuan Yuanpo. Xuan Yuanpo and I joined forces to kill the person who was intercepting him. This can be considered as eliminating a powerful enemy for the Old Land and gaining some benefits to make up for our mistakes."

With this thought in mind, Yuanjue chuckled and leaped away, no longer chasing after the girl Xu Miaozhen.

At this moment, on an ancient spaceship, apart from Xu Miaozhen, Yu Shu, Chen Sui, and Li Yanchu all looked somewhat nervous.

However, Yuan Jue, the powerful figure from the old land, did not come after a long time.

The girl, dressed in fiery red, had eyes as black as lacquer and skin as smooth as cream, with a touch of playfulness.

It's hard to imagine that such a beautiful and refined young girl could have completely outmaneuvered a ruthless man like Yuan Jue.

Li Yanchu knew without asking that she must also be a powerful figure in the Dao Domain.

He took the initiative to speak, saying, "Fellow Daoist, hello. I am Li Yanchu. Thank you for your help."

The girl in red said with a charming smile, "I know you. My name is Xu Miaozhen. From now on, we are all from the Dao Domain, so it is only right that we look after each other. There's no need to be so polite."

At this point, the young woman waved her hand dramatically, displaying great generosity.

Yu Shu and Chen Sui did not say much about this.

This young girl, Xu Miaozhen, was a very famous figure in the Dao Domain. This time, it was thanks to her rescue that the two of them stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Their status was vastly different from Xu Miaozhen's; they should have paid their respects even in the Dao Realm, let alone now that they had been rescued.

Xu Miaozhen didn't take it seriously and didn't care about their etiquette.

Seeing the nervous expressions on the three of them, Xu Miaozhen smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. How could that skinny monkey Yuanjue catch up with me? Let him cultivate for hundreds of millions of years."

Xu Miaozhen was clearly extremely confident in her methods.

Li Yanchu said, "We just traversed the void 1,600 times, so naturally he couldn't catch up."

Xu Miaozhen's eyes immediately lit up with surprise, and she said, "Oh, how did you know?"

Yu Shu and Chen Sui both looked bewildered.

Although their Taoist magic is profound, they do not have a deep understanding of the Great Dao of Void. Just now, they were clearly running wildly, so when did they traverse multiple layers of void?

Li Yanchu then looked at Xu Miaozhen and said with a smile, "I have also cultivated some of the Dao of Void."

Xu Miaozhen said, "The Dao of Void is extremely difficult to cultivate. Are you now an Immortal or a Dao Lord?"

Li Yanchu paused slightly, then shook her head and said, "Neither."

Xu Miaozhen said in surprise, "You are also the Void Dao Lord?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yanchu replied, "I am not a Dao Lord, I have already cultivated to become a Void Dao Master."

Xu Miaozhen immediately looked surprised: "What? You've already attained enlightenment in the void?"

Li Yanchu nodded.

Xu Miaozhen looked Li Yanchu up and down and said with a smile, "Impressive. The Great Dao of the Void is really too difficult to practice. Although I have learned a few supernatural abilities that allow me to jump through the void, it is still very difficult to prove the Dao."

Li Yanchu thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it's because I'm cultivating in a remote and impoverished area, so it's easier for me."

Xu Miaozhen said with a charming smile, "You're so modest."

She then turned to Yu Shu and Chen Sui and said, "You two have really struck gold this time, the Void Dao Master!"

A look of joy appeared in her eyes, which were as clear as autumn water. She wanted to pull Li Yanchu aside and have a good discussion about the Great Dao of the Void.

Li Yanchu asked with some curiosity, "Doesn't the Dao Domain have a dedicated void inheritance?"

Xu Miaozhen said, "The Void Dao is an extremely difficult Dao to cultivate. There are no guiding techniques. It is not difficult to get started, but it is extremely difficult to master. Even a genius like me is only a Void Dao Lord. You have actually been able to cultivate to the Void Dao Master. This has truly impressed me."

Li Yanchu said, "I also know someone else. She is also a Void Dao Master. In fact, my Void Dao was enlightened by her."

Xu Miaozhen said, "What? There's another person? She even taught you the Great Dao of Void?"

Li Yanchu nodded and said, "That's right." Xu Miaozhen asked, "Who is she? Where is she? Why didn't you bring her along?"

Li Yanchu said, "She is my Daoist partner, named Yunniang. She is probably already in the Dao Domain now."

Xu Miaozhen said with delight, "My Dao Domain actually has such a talent. I must get to know her properly. It's wonderful that two Void Dao Masters have come all at once. I must learn a lot from you."

Xu Miaozhen possessed extraordinary combat prowess and wondrous methods, traversing the void more than 1,200 times in an instant—something Li Yanchu himself couldn't do.

He felt a little guilty at this moment.
Such methods are only used by the Void Dao Lord. Is my status as the Void Dao Master a bit exaggerated?

Upon realizing this, he blushed slightly and his confidence wavered.

However, Xu Miaozhen didn't pay any attention to it; she kept discussing the Dao of Void with Li Yanchu.

Some of her views on certain things were insightful and broadened Li Yanchu's horizons.

However, Li Yanchu's mastery of the Dao of Void is indeed very high; he has already cultivated to the level of a Dao Master.

Some of the higher realms he spoke of were very enlightening for Xu Miaozhen.

The two started talking and found themselves getting along very well.

Xu Miaozhen found Li Yanchu increasingly pleasing to the eye and said, "Your ideas are truly imaginative, creating things from nothing, empowering things from nothing—it's exactly what I was thinking."

Li Yanchu said, "There is no matter in the void, but it is itself a kind of Great Dao. It should be able to empower any other Great Dao through this Great Dao."

Xu Miaozhen said, “That’s right, that’s what I think too, but Master always says that I’m putting the cart before the horse. Of the nine innate paths, which one isn’t strong? Why bother pursuing the void? Moreover, my views are almost the same as those of the first of the nine paths: killing, reincarnation, and primordial chaos. Therefore, I am often scolded by Master.”

Li Yanchu said, "The Great Dao itself has no distinction of high or low. It is just that this characteristic of the void can empower other Great Daos. This statement is not a cliché, nor is it an arrogant statement."

Xu Miaozhen's eyes lit up, and she felt an instant connection with him.

She excitedly grabbed Li Yanchu's hand and said, "What you said is so true. You should really meet my master so that he can know that what I said is not just one person's opinion."

Li Yanchu said, "But even with my addition, these are just two sides' opinions, which probably still won't shake your master's view."

Xu Miaozhen was taken aback, then smiled and said, "That's right, Master is a very old-fashioned person. If you were dragged along, you would probably get scolded by him too."

Li Yanchu and Xu Miaozhen chatted enthusiastically, while Yu Shu and Chen Sui, who were standing to the side, listened in stunned silence.

Although their cultivation of Taoist arts was higher than Li Yanchu's, their knowledge was not as broad.

Furthermore, they had no knowledge of the Void Dao.

Furthermore, they are not as bold and outspoken as Li Yanchu, nor are they as imaginative and unrestrained.

The rules in the Dao Domain are extremely strict, even stricter than those in other domains. They dare not say a wrong word or do a wrong thing, otherwise the punishment in the Dao Domain could easily cost them their lives.

A girl as audacious as Xu Miaozhen is an anomaly.

Seeing Li Yanchu, a novice, chatting so enthusiastically with Xu Miaozhen, a little tyrant, Yu Shu felt increasingly uneasy.

Xu Miaozhen was extremely beautiful, a highly regarded genius in the Dao Domain, and had a powerful background.

Although he is lively and cheerful, he rarely engages in any intimate behavior with others; at least, he has never heard of such behavior.

But now, having only just met Li Yanchu, they were chatting so enthusiastically and behaving so intimately. Yu Shu felt uneasy; he was extremely jealous.

"Everyone says Xu Miaozhen doesn't get close to men, but I think it's just a rumor. Does Li Yanchu have four eyes, eight ears, and sixteen noses? Why does she smile so brightly when she sees him?"

Yu Shu felt a pang of jealousy.

At this moment, Xu Miaozhen and Li Yanchu were discussing the Great Dao of the Void. The profound mysteries of the Great Dao allow cultivators to immerse themselves in it, temporarily forgetting some disputes and external distractions.

However, since Xu Miaozhen mentioned her master many times, Li Yanchu also became somewhat curious about this person.

Li Yanchu asked, "I've only heard you mention your master, but I don't know who this master of yours is."

Upon hearing this, Yu Shu and Chen Sui exchanged a glance but remained silent, curiously observing Li Yanchu's reaction.

Xu Miaozhen said with a smile, "My master is Mang Daoren, the master of the Jieyun Palace. When you arrive in the Dao Domain, I will introduce you to him. He will definitely like you when he sees you, just like he likes me."

She held a special position in the Dao Domain, and the Mang Daoist held her in high regard.

Upon hearing this, Li Yanchu's expression suddenly changed; his smile vanished, replaced by a faint expression.
"So you are a disciple of Daoist Mang. My apologies for my disrespect."

His tone was now somewhat cold, a stark contrast to his earlier enthusiasm.

Xu Miaozhen was puzzled and said, "What's wrong? Have you met my master? Do you have any conflicts with him? He's a rigid person and might say some hurtful things. Don't take it to heart."

Li Yanchu smiled, but there was a sinister meaning in his smile. He said, "How dare I? He is a big shot, while I am just a nobody from a remote village. I am at his mercy. How dare I be angry with the Mang Daoist?"

Xu Miaozhen sensed something was off about his tone, her arched eyebrows furrowed, and she asked, "What exactly is wrong?"

Li Yanchu shook his head: "It's nothing. I'm a little tired, so I won't continue the discussion with you. Please do as you please."

Upon hearing this, Xu Miaozhen pouted, clearly dissatisfied.

She was a highly sought-after figure in the Dao Domain, known for her willful and capricious nature, and no one had ever dared to provoke her.

It was rare for her to show such favor to Li Yanchu, and this was the first time she had ever been so close to a stranger. However, she never expected that Li Yanchu would be so different, turning his back on her so easily and leaving her aside.

Anger welled up in Xu Miaozhen's heart. She put her hands on her hips and said angrily, "Hey, what's wrong with you? How can you change your attitude so suddenly?"

Li Yanchu said, "I'm just a little tired." As he spoke, he closed his eyes and stopped paying attention to Xu Miaozhen.

Xu Miao was filled with anger, but also felt somewhat disappointed.

At this moment, she seemed somewhat at a loss, and in a fit of anger, she raised her fist, about to strike Li Yanchu.

Her fists were pink and looked harmless, but those who knew her well knew that this little tyrant was incredibly strong.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to force someone like Yuan Jue to retreat.

Despite the strict rules of the Dao Domain, she would still be attacked if she was slightly displeased, and those who were beaten by her could only swallow their anger.

She's a little devil who's incredibly difficult to deal with, someone who respects her status and doesn't fight her, or... might even help her fight.

Now she raised her hand, but only swung it down heavily again, angrily turning her head away and saying, "Who wants to talk to you? What's so great about you?"

She turned away angrily, ignoring Li Yanchu.

Upon seeing this, Yu Shu was overjoyed.

"Li Yanchu is still not tactful enough. It is the kind of behavior that people like us who are going to do great things should have, so that we don't show our emotions."

He was also eager to get closer to this little tyrant, so he stepped forward and gently comforted him, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for not disciplining him properly. Li Yanchu has a strange temperament and is new here, so I haven't explained the rules to him yet. Senior Sister Xu, please don't be angry."

This girl was of a higher generation than him. He seemed to be making excuses for Li Yanchu, but in reality, he was stabbing Li Yanchu in the back and showing off his own status.

Xu Miaozhen glared at him fiercely and said, "It's none of your business. Go away, or you'll annoy me."

Yu Shu: "………………"
