Bone Taoist

Chapter 682: Demon Lord's Plan
In the South China Sea, in the hall of the demon lord of the fox-tailed clan.

Tushan Younan was lying on the incense couch, her white hair cascading down like a waterfall. Many wrinkles gradually appeared on her elegant face, and her eyes were filled with fatigue, as if she was about to fall asleep.

Tushan Younan could clearly feel that his magical power was fading and his bones were aging rapidly.

An ordinary cultivator at the peak of the Hedao realm could live for tens of thousands of years, but now that the great world had begun, all opportunities had disappeared. After only five thousand years, Tushan Younan felt that his life span was coming to an end.

This feeling would become more intense every time she left her body and traveled into the void.

"Yuehan..."

Tushan Younan looked towards Tushan Yuehan, who was kneeling on the ground beside the incense bed, and looked at his daughter tenderly with his old eyes.

"Mother, your daughter is here!" Tushan Yuehan held Tushan Younan's hand tightly, her eyes trembling slightly and her lips pursed.

She couldn't bear to see Tushan Younan's current condition, which was getting worse every day.

According to the current situation, this famous fox demon lord will surely pass away within ten years.

"You are gifted and intelligent, have a high aptitude for cultivation, and have inherited the legacy of the great demon Nine-Tailed Fox. You will surely rise in troubled times in the future. Your mother will hand over the South China Sea lineage to you, and you must shoulder this burden..." Tushan Younan said calmly.

"Mother, don't talk. Just have a good rest. You will definitely get through this!" Tu Shan Yuehan said with tears in her eyes and a trembling voice.

"You are not a child anymore." Tushan Younan took a deep breath and said with concentration, "All living things in the world will eventually die. Even Chen Baishan, who has all-powerful hands and eyes, will eventually die. Yuehan, there is no need to be sad. All this is inevitable."

"Mother..." Tu Shan Yuehan bit her lip.

"Let me ask you, did anyone from Langya Palace come to this birthday party?" Tushan Younan raised his eyes and said.

"Palace Master Ye and his wife have already arrived in the South China Sea at this time." Tu Shan Yuehan said.

"That's great. When I leave, the demons of the Eight Divisions of the South China Sea will surely riot. There are many evil and treacherous ones. Before that, we need to get rid of some of the annoying guys." Tushan Younan's old eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "In the future, when you are in charge of the South China Sea, you should act cautiously before entering the ranks of the Hedao. With the support of the Langya Palace behind you, you can protect yourself."

……

At noon, the flying boat of Langya Palace docked in front of the pier.

On the shore, Tushan Ziqiong came to greet them with a group of fox-tailed girls.

The appearance of Ye Zang obviously caused a sensation. His current identity is the Tiangang elder of the bishop's land, and he is also a person vying for power in the future Divine Religion.

The meaning of coming here in person to celebrate the birthday at this moment is self-evident.

"Palace Master Ye, you are tired from the journey, please follow me!"

Tushan Ziqiong took Ye Zang and his group to find a rather luxurious courtyard in the clan territory to live in.

Because of the Demon Lord's birthday, Tuzhou in the South Sea was very lively at this time. Many outsiders came, including people from the Coral Palace in the West Sea and the Daqian Spiritual Land in the North Sea, who came to celebrate the birthday.

Mrs. Coral from the West Sea actually came in person.

Riding the wind and waves, dressed in a silk dress, she is elegant and graceful. She is a carp that has attained enlightenment, and is the master of the West Sea.

However, Xihai and Ye Zang did not have much interaction. Ye Zang secretly heard that the disciples of the Coral Palace and Ji Beilin's lineage had a very close relationship, so this Lady Coral must have placed her bet on Ji Beilin.

But it is also true that Ji Beilin has the highest popularity in the bishop's land now. He has a solid foundation and has made friends with many aristocratic families and foreign missions since he was a Nascent Soul.

Inside the courtyard, Ye Zang and Shu Aohan sat opposite each other at the desk, chatting casually.

"I heard that Senior Brother Chu went to the God and Demon Rift Valley?" Ye Zang asked.

"In the struggle for power in the Divine Religion, the elders and disciples of the aristocratic families have all started to move. Senior Brother Chu is warlike. When he was defeated by Tan Tai Jing, this matter became a hurdle that he could not get over. Now that his Nascent Soul has reached perfection, I think he wants to kill many disciples of the Dongsheng Divine Continent to vent his anger." Shu Aohan said.

This move is to establish authority, gain achievements and become famous overseas.

"It seems that the border area is about to become unrest again?" Ye Zang asked.

"Before you left Langya Palace, many disciples from the two continents had already gone there." Shu Aohan said word by word: "The world's opportunities have dissipated, and all the secret treasures under the God and Demon Rift Valley have floated out, emitting a glow all the time, which will naturally attract many cultivators to fight for it."

Now the God and Demon Rift Valley is gradually becoming lively.

The majority of disciples there are those who have achieved the Golden Core cultivation level. After all, 80% of the secret Golden Core treasures are located in the God and Demon Rift Valley.

However, there are very few Nascent Soul secret treasures, less than a hundred of which can be seen with the naked eye, and each one is extremely dangerous and fraught with danger.

Ye Zang's inheritance of the Demon Lord was obtained from the Golden Elixir Secret Treasure in the God and Demon Rift Valley. There are so many secret treasures there, and there may be secret treasures of other Taoists who have inherited it.

Back then, the God and Demon Rift needed the displacement of the stars to stabilize. Now that the secret treasure has been forced out, it must be even more dangerous inside, but there are still cultivators from the two continents flocking there in search of resources and fortune.

"A few days ago, Fuyuan Daze sent a message asking us to go back there if we have the chance." Shu Aohan hesitated for a moment and spoke.

After all, she is now a member of the Langya Palace, and her whole attention is devoted to Ye Zang's Langya Palace.

In her mother's family, apart from her parents, Shu Aohan doesn't care about anyone, but her father is the lord of Fuyuan Lake.

After hearing this, Ye Zang remained silent for a few breaths.

"You and I have been married for a long time, and we have never been back home. It's time to go back and pay a visit to our parents-in-law." Ye Zang said with a smile.

Just saying.

There were footsteps outside the house, and Huang Puchang came outside the door to ask for an audience: "Master, the lady of the Coral Palace of the West Sea wants to see you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zang raised his eyebrows and looked at Shu Aohan.

Ye Zang immediately stood up and said, "Please come in, Senior."

A genuine Hedao monk personally walked up to Ye Zang to pay him a visit. It would be unreasonable for him not to meet him.

Of course, given Ye Zang's current status and position, it is reasonable for her to come and pay a visit to Ye Zang.

Outside the courtyard, a beautiful woman walked in slowly, followed by several boys.

The Coral Lady had sapphire eyes and was wearing a silk dress with scales and feathers. She had an extremely beautiful appearance. She looked energetic and radiant, and did not seem to be affected by the catastrophe.

After all, she was still a novice in Taoism, more than a thousand years later than Tushan Younan.

"My concubine greets Palace Master Ye." Madam Coral smiled with a dimple at the corner of her mouth and seductive eyes.

"Madam, you are so polite. Please take a seat." Ye Zang immediately extended his hand. Madam Shanhu's eyes flashed with strange colors, and she sat down below Ye Zang and Shu Aohan.

She kept a very humble attitude, and Ye Zang saw it. Could it be that the Lord of the West Sea had something to ask for?

"Alas, I have known Sister Tushan since I was a child, but I never expected that a great era would begin. Sister Tushan is approaching the end of her life, and I think I won't have much time left either."

As soon as she sat down, Mrs. Coral sighed, looking a little sad, and started talking about Tushan Younan.

"Madam and the Demon Lord have a deep sisterly relationship. When the South China Sea is ownerless in the future, you must take good care of the Fox Tribe." Ye Zang said bluntly.

"With Palace Master Ye here, there's no need for me to take care of you." Madam Coral said with a smile, squinting her eyes.

"Haha." Ye Zang smiled and said with concentration: "Ye Zang has some influence in the bishop's land, but people's hearts are unpredictable. If he has someone to rely on, he may not dare to cause trouble."

The fox tribe has the support of Ye Zang Langya Palace.

The other demon tribes may not be without the support of the noble families behind them, and many of them are from the twenty-four families that usually do not get along with Ye Zang.

During the struggle for power in the bishop's land, those noble families certainly would not want to see Ye Zang become the leader of the religion in the future, otherwise, they would only be greeted with cleansing.

Ye Zang will definitely do this, otherwise he will not be able to stabilize the structure of the bishop's land.

What Ye Zang said was equivalent to speaking directly, which made Mrs. Coral's heart skip a beat.

Nowadays, the situation of the bishop is changing rapidly. If he stands on the wrong side, it will be a disaster in the future, and it may even bring about a calamity. Over the years, the Jackdaw Cult has changed many of the twenty-four families, not to mention the monster tribe in the outer sea. The Cult can be destroyed in a snap.

No matter who becomes the headmaster, the other competitors may not be in any trouble, but those disciples from aristocratic families who secretly stand on their side will probably suffer, as they are the ones who do all the dirty and tiring work.

In this turbulent current, it is not easy to stay out of trouble.

"For thousands of years, the Fox Tribe has been the ruler of the South China Sea and has held power. Who would dare to cause trouble? Palace Master Ye is worrying too much!" Madam Coral smiled calmly.

"By the way, Madam has a close relationship with the Demon Lord, have you ever visited her?" Ye Zang asked again at this moment.

"I'll go take a look." Madam Shanhu's bright eyes moved slightly, and she sighed, "Beauty fades away, and withers away. Back then, my sister was so stunning and charming, and was admired by countless geniuses from the inner and outer continents. But now..."

Mrs. Coral said with some sigh.

She chatted with Ye Zang Shu Ao Han, and there was a hint of tentativeness in her words.

From beginning to end, Ye Zang did not mention anything about Ji Beilin.

Mrs. Coral seemed to not want to offend Ye Zang, so coming here in person today was a token of her allegiance and a statement of her position. No matter what the circumstances, she would not go against Ye Zang, including the affairs of the South China Sea.

The latter and Ji Beilin are from the same lineage. Madam Coral achieved enlightenment through the carp, but her cultivation level is only at the first level of Hedao. The reason she was able to become the lord of the West Sea is said to be because the Ji family often sent disciples to the West Sea to wipe out monsters. After repeated attempts, they helped Madam Coral become the monster lord.

After resting in the courtyard for a night, the Fox Tribe began to decorate the courtyard with lights and lanterns the next day.

It's a bright red and looks prosperous.

People from the ancient toad demon clan from the Daqian spiritual land in the North Sea have also come, bringing with them a lot of spiritual materials and objects.

However, Ye Zang secretly asked Huang Pushang to visit the fox tribe's territory, but he did not find any disciples from the twenty-four families coming.

The only disciple of the bishop who came was Ji Beilin’s eldest disciple Lu Qin.

It seems that she and Tushan Ziqiong are indeed good friends. She did not go to see Tushan Demon Lord, but stayed in Tushan Ziqiong's house.
As for the other monsters in the South China Sea, only six came.

The monsters from the Fish Infant Tribe and the Eagle Tribe did not come.

Ye Zang had some impression of the South China Sea Eagle Tribe, which was the strongest lineage among the eight tribes of monsters in the South China Sea. When he first traveled to the South China Sea, Ye Zang had some conflicts with the members of this lineage.

The Eagle Tribe monsters originally wanted to become relatives with the Fox Tribe, but were rejected by Tushan Younan, which led to the deterioration of relations between the two tribes.

Because the situation at that time was that the man was strong and the woman was weak, if they agreed to the marriage, the Eagle Tribe would sooner or later take over the power of the South China Sea, which was something Tushan Younan did not want to see. But this would also offend the tribe, so Tushan Younan was anxious to marry Tushan Yuehan to Ye Zang at that time. After all, this would shut up those Eagle Tribe monsters. With Ye Zang's identity and status, they did not dare to say anything more.

The day before the birthday celebration, Ye Zang finally went to visit Tushan Younan, together with Shu Aohan.

In the magnificent hall, a refreshing fragrance wafts into the air.

Inside, candlelight flickers and bead curtains sway.

Under the guidance of Tushan Yuehan, Ye Zang and Shu Aohan walked slowly and went deeper.

In the dim hall deep inside the main hall, on the incense couch, Tushan Younan, with hair as white as snow, was lying.

She has now become a half-fox demon, with five tails swaying behind her, looking half human and half fox. Her narrow eyes glanced at Ye Zang below. A terrifying demonic aura emanated from her body, and her powerful spirit enveloped the palace.

After all, she is a fairy at the peak of Hedao, and her magical powers are quite considerable. She has now become a half-human, half-fox in order to reduce the consumption of mana.

"Mother, are you okay?" Tushan Yuehan's beautiful eyes trembled, and she walked over. When she was leaving, Tushan Younan was still in human form, how could she reveal her fox form in just a moment?

Ye Zang looked at her vaguely.

It turned out that Tushan Younan's magical power was like a dam that had been opened, shaking outward madly.

Ye Zang frowned immediately. Judging from her current condition, she could not last more than three days!
However, Ye Zang observed carefully and found that her purple palace and divine treasure were opened. Tushan Younan did not stop her at all, nor did she even resist. She just let her magic power disappear. It seemed that she did it on purpose.

"Demon Lord, what do you mean?" Ye Zang asked.

"Ye Zang, since you have come to the South China Sea, please help me with something." Tu Shan Younan's eyes were extremely sharp and his voice was sonorous.

Tushan Yuehan was also a little confused about the situation and didn't know what her mother wanted to do.

"Demon Lord, just say whatever you want. Ye Zang will do his best." Ye Zang said in a deep voice.

"I feel relieved after hearing your words." Tu Shan You Nan coughed dryly, and then said sternly: "Among the eight tribes of monsters in the South Sea, besides me, there are two He Dao monster masters, one is the head of the Eagle Tribe, and the other is the ancestor of the Fish Infant Tribe. Before my life is over, I want to get rid of these two people."

"No wonder no one came to these two groups. Are they planning something?" Ye Zang asked calmly.

"These two old guys are very cunning. They won't show up unless they are absolutely sure. Now I am using myself as bait. They will definitely come to take my life. Then I can use the formation to surround and kill these two people. With your attainments in Qimen, I think it won't be difficult for you." Tushan Younan said gloomily: "On the birthday, I will hold these two old guys back, you can cast the spell with peace of mind."
