Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Forgot to Take on Disciples

Chapter 61 The Source of Su Daji's Power

A moment ago.

Inside the royal palace.

One second Yang Jian was watching the demon god's avatar attack from the high platform, and the next second he felt the situation change and immediately knew that he had been sent to the palace by Wen Zhong.

What he had to do was find the Ink Kirin.

Let the Ink Kirin take him to Jin'ao Island.

He used his Demon Eye between his eyebrows to probe the surrounding spiritual energy with the power of the Annihilation Divine Eye, and was surprised to find a dense cluster of spiritual energy in the distance.

It must be the Black Kirin without a doubt.

Overjoyed, he was about to run towards the location of the black Qilin.

Suddenly feeling the emptiness beside him, Su Daji took advantage of his momentary daze and quickly ran away with her maid, Meiniang.

Mei Niang used her magic, and the two of them moved incredibly fast.

What's going on?!

Yang Jian frowned and was about to give chase.

"Look at the knife!"

A shout suddenly rang in my ears.

Yang Jian turned around and saw Deng Chanyu charging towards him with her sword.

He casually slapped the bronze halberd, sending it flying.

In desperation, Deng Chanyu could only use her two swords to block in front of her, her back crashing through several walls, but she was unharmed.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yang Jian's eyes. This girl had some strength. He had seemed casual just now, but he hadn't deliberately held back.

He didn't rush in to deliver the finishing blow because he had more important things to do.

Su Daji ran away inexplicably.

He had no intention of getting entangled with Deng Chanyu, and with a single step, he darted away.

He had to find it quickly; if Su Daji used the Heart-Eating Curse, he would surely die.

Su Daji is not hard to find.

It has a natural fragrance.

He can find it by following the smell.

As Yang Jian chased after her quickly, he used his medium magical power to stir Su Daji's inner core in his dantian to slow her down.

After walking a few steps, they turned past a palace and arrived in the garden.

The scent on Su Daji disappeared beneath a rockery!

A secret passage?

Within the magic eye, a stone was discovered to be distinctly different.

"Awoo~"

A mournful wail came from afar.

A black figure leaped high into the air, about to take flight, when it was suddenly struck down by a golden light.

It is a black Qilin.

Yang Jian's pupils suddenly contracted. He didn't know what had happened over there. Even if Mo Qilin was in trouble, he could still escape Chaoge on his own two legs.

But if Su Daji couldn't catch up, her life would be over in an instant.

Yang Jian entered the secret passage, which led to an underground palace.

The houses are neatly arranged, and the air is fresh and dry, indicating that they have been maintained by someone.

The cry of some small animal could be heard among them.

It sounds like a dog barking, but not quite.

A strong sense of being watched surged up, as if a ferocious beast was secretly observing him, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Yang Jian unconsciously gripped the bronze halberd in his hand tighter.

He hadn't taken more than two steps.

A dark shadow suddenly pounced on him.

Yang Jian swung his halberd, smashing it towards the attacking black shadow. The next moment, a tremendous force surged forth, and his figure was violently pushed back.

What incredible strength!

A hint of shock flashed in Yang Jian's eyes.

Before him stood a black tiger, which had transformed into its original form to block his way.

Black Tiger: "Little guy, Su Daji doesn't want you to go over there. You'd better stay here obediently. If I use the Heart-Eating Curse, you'll lose your life."

"Since Master Hei says so, it seems Su Daji is right here!"

A smile appeared on Yang Jian's lips, and he suddenly felt relieved.

"Um?"

Black Tiger's eyes widened in surprise.

Suddenly, Yang Jian transformed into a cloud of white mist.

Sensing something was wrong, the black tiger lunged forward, only to miss its target.

Only a pile of clothes remained on the ground, along with a bronze halberd standing nearby.

Looking at the group of foxes before her, Su Daji's worries finally subsided.

"You're back. Did you succeed? Did Zishou's plan work? Do we have a place to stay here now?"

The old fox, with his eyes closed, reached out his paw and stroked Su Daji's cheek.

After sensing Su Daji shaking her head, he coughed up blood: "Why didn't it work? Why! You possess the strongest divine power of my fox clan, how could it not work?"

It succeeded, and it didn't.

Su Daji thought of the ancient demon god incarnation she had just seen, which even Wen Zhong admitted he couldn't handle. She realized that Chaoge was in grave danger.

She didn't speak, but wept like a child who had done something wrong.

She felt intense pain from the stirring of the demon core, but it didn't matter anymore.

The fox clan's hopes were dashed; her life or death was no longer of any concern to her.

This is also why she did not activate the Heart-Eating Curse even though she had already gotten rid of Yang Jian.

Suddenly, she noticed something unusual about her body.

A wisp of white smoke rose from her body and finally solidified behind her.

It was none other than Yang Jian.

Yang Jian was naked at this moment because the Water Cloud Body technique only worked on his body; a person can run, but clothes cannot.

Fortunately, everyone here is blind.

Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

blind?

Yang Jian noticed something amiss.

Looking around, it was clear that all the thousands of foxes in this underground palace were indeed blind.

In the eyes of the demon, these foxes were quite powerful, but they still looked like foxes, as if they could not transform into human form.

"here it is?"

Yang Jian looked at Su Daji and asked.

"These are the last foxes of the Qingqiu Fox Clan. Since I arrived in Chaoge, I have asked Zishou to temporarily hide them here."

Su Daji was somewhat surprised by Yang Jian's arrival, especially by the way he appeared.

It must be some kind of escape technique, just like when Yang Jian appeared in her bathtub yesterday.

But for some reason, Yang Jian was able to escape from her body.

Upon hearing the unfamiliar voice, the old fox in front of him suddenly asked, "Who's here? Is it Zishou?"

Su Daji shook her head: "It's not Zishou, it's a friend I met outside."

Seeing this, Yang Jian immediately understood Su Daji's plan.

Mo Qilin has the ability to take him away, and he also has the ability to take Su Daji away.

But they couldn't take so many foxes with them.

Su Daji's choice was to die alongside these foxes.

Su Daji led Yang Jian aside and had Meiniang fetch Yang Jian's original clothes.

"Hurry up and leave. I don't want the demon core. Keep it if it's useful to you! I think you'll have a solution to the Heart-Eating Curse once you get to Golden Turtle Island."

Upon hearing Su Daji's explanation, Yang Jian immediately knew that she was determined to die.

That won't do! He still needs to rely on Su Daji's charm to cover up the abnormality that the Demon Eye can refine essence without any hindrance.

If it weren't for Su Daji, his eyes might have been gouged out as soon as he arrived at Jin'ao Island.

"No! You have to leave!"

Yang Jian hardened his heart; if Su Daji refused, he would take her away even if it meant resorting to violence.

"You've always been curious about how I possess such powerful charm techniques, and how my transformation methods could even pass through Wen Zhong's Heavenly Eye."

Su Daji gestured for Yang Jian to look at the many foxes and continued, "Hundreds of thousands of foxes in the Qingqiu fox clan have gone blind. They sacrificed their eyes and the fact that the fox clan can never transform into human form in exchange for my ability to distort the truth and deceive the world in full view of everyone."

All we seek is a place to settle down. Of the 100,000 fox clan members who came from Beiju Luzhou to this Nanzhanbuzhou, only these 3,000 remain. You expect me to abandon them and follow you, just to survive?

"Ha~ How ridiculous!" Su Daji sneered, then suddenly changed her tone: "If you want me to be with you, help me save the lives of my people, and I will be yours."

Only then did Yang Jian understand what Su Daji's weakness was.

He remembered that Wen Zhong still had the trump card of the Qingping Sword's sword energy hidden and hadn't used it.

If it were used, then those ancient demon god incarnations would be nothing but clay chickens and earthenware dogs.

He looked at Su Daji seriously: "Remember your words!"

After saying that, he quickly left the underground palace and was about to ride on the back of the black tiger so that it could take him to find Wen Zhong.

Then they saw a blue light flashing on the horizon, and boundless sword intent emanating from the east.

Just one glance was enough to sting my eyes and cause bloody tears to seep from the corners of my eyes.

Yang Jian quickly turned his head away, not daring to look again.

It was Wen Zhong who unleashed the sword energy of the Qingping Sword.

"Looks like we don't need to run anymore!"

Yang Jian thought to himself.
