Fox Demon: Why did your brother beat you up every day at the beginning of the month?

"Thank you so much, my benefactor!"

A clear and loud voice rang out from the side, and a fox demon boy walked over and knelt down in front of Dongfang Haoyang and Ya Ya.

In his line of sight, Dongfang Haoyang stood on the left and Tushan Yaya stood on the right. The two were looking in different directions, but the blush on their faces was particularly noticeable.

"Thank you so much, my benefactor, for saving my sister and me."

Dongfang Haoyang coughed twice, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the grateful young man with a dignified expression.

At home with Yuechu, Ya Ya, and Rongrong, he can be a little more casual, but now that they're outside, he needs to maintain a certain air of superiority.

"It's alright, young man. I've healed your sister's injuries, but she's very weak right now. Do you have anywhere to go?"

"We've fled here, and we have nowhere to stay..."

The somewhat fierce-looking, burly young man said.

"And what about your parents?"

"Killed in the war..."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Haoyang nodded slightly, feeling a pang of sympathy for the young man, as his experiences were somewhat similar to his own.

"You? You're from the fox clan?!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya looked at the boy with fox ears kneeling on the ground and asked in confusion.

"That's right, we are the Qingqiu Fox Clan, living in the great forest."

"The Great Forest? That's the territory of the Ancient Tree Moon Cry Clan! Did you come from so far away?!"

"Um……"

"My name is Tu Shan Ya Ya, the second young lady of Tu Shan. He is my... childhood sweetheart..." (blushing)

"You two come with me to see my sister first, and I'll find you a place to stay."

"Thank you, Second Miss!"

The fox demon boy bowed repeatedly in gratitude, his eyes red-rimmed. Although his sister had been healed by Dongfang Haoyang using the Star Shift technique...

However, after a long journey and being captured and abused by the Taoist priests, they were already extremely weak. Tu Shan Ya Ya's actions were tantamount to saving their lives.

Although he felt sympathy, seeing the carefree and foolish fox who didn't even ask the names before leading the two fox demons into Tushan City, Dongfang Haoyang smiled helplessly, grabbed Tushan Yaya's little hand that was greeting the brother and sister, and looked at them.

"What are you doing, you perverted cockroach?"

"Wait, let me ask you a couple of questions."

"What's your name?"

"My name is Chu Batian, and this is my younger sister, Chu Lan'er."

"Um……"

Dongfang Haoyang carefully examined Chu Batian. His aura was well concealed, but the vast difference in their cultivation levels allowed Haoyang to sense his cultivation level and the powerful, deeply hidden demonic energy within him.

"What level of cultivation have you reached?"

Chu Batian bowed with his hands clasped.

"The Great Demon Realm!"

"real?"

"I dare not deceive my benefactor!"

Nodding slightly, Dongfang Haoyang picked up Chu Batian's hand and examined it; it was a pair of hands covered in calluses.

A person can lie about everything except their hands. Although Chu Batian was a demon, the calluses on his large hands didn't look like they were from practicing martial arts, but rather from holding some kind of tool.

"What do you do to make a living?"

"Farming, making a living by farming."

"Farm work...then how do you possess the strength of a peak Great Demon Realm cultivator?"

"I once learned cultivation methods from Miss Yueti Xia of the Yueti clan."

Dongfang Haoyang nodded slightly, then placed a finger on Chu Batian's forehead, his fingertip pulsating with golden pure Yang Flame.

How can you prove you're telling the truth?

Chu Batian looked at the golden flame between Dongfang Haoyang's fingers, meeting his eyes directly with neither arrogance nor servility.

"If my benefactor doesn't believe me, I, Chu Batian, am willing to prove myself with my life. I only hope that after I die, my benefactor can take in my sister. She's only 50 years old and still an immature child..."

"Hey, you stinky cockroach, are you really going to kill him? He's completely innocent..."

"Do I look like the kind of person who indiscriminately kills innocent people...?"

Tu Shan Ya Ya shook her head.

"It doesn't seem like it, but your actions do."

This naive little fool.

Dongfang Haoyang smiled helplessly and rubbed Tushan Yaya's little head. This action, however, drew a murderous look from Yaya. She slapped his hand away and jumped up and down in a fit of impotent rage.

He was about to go into seclusion. Although it wasn't a complete retreat, he wouldn't be able to come out for a while. While the situation inside Tushan was stable, the threats from the human race and other demon realms remained.

If anything happens to Tushan, I won't be able to help.

During this sensitive period, Dongfang Haoyang needs to be more cautious.

This reduces the risk of other forces infiltrating Tushan and overthrowing Tushan Honghong's rule.

Especially for powerful refugees like Chu Batian, in this chaotic era of war, who knows what the other party's purpose is?

Moreover, when he was rescued, the fox demon was covered in demon-repelling talismans, which showed that his strength made the Taoist priests wary, so he naturally had to be careful.

After all, one should always be wary of others.

However, Haoyang was certain that Chu Batian was not lying.

"Okay, get up. I believe in you. Take your sister and go to Tushan with Miss Ya Ya. I can't guarantee you'll be worry-free in the future, but at least you'll have a place to stay and food to eat."

"Thank you so much, my benefactor!"

Chu Batian bowed deeply, kowtowing three times, and followed Tu Shan Ya Ya, carrying his unconscious sister.

"You stinky cockroach, I'm leaving."

Tu Shan Ya Ya turned around, pursed her lips, and looked at Dongfang Hao Yang with a complicated expression.

"Yeah, we'll see each other all the time, no need to make that face."

"snort!"

"And..." Dongfang Haoyang leaned closer to Tushan Yaya's earlobe.

"Keep an eye on Chu Batian. He has a good talent for cultivation and is also quite kind-hearted."

"I can sense that he possesses a powerful force. If used properly, Tushan will have at least one Demon Emperor-level expert in the future, which will greatly strengthen Tushan's defenses."

Upon hearing this, Tu Shan Ya Ya felt a surge of warmth in her heart. All that this big idiot had done was for Tu Shan's safety, to find talent for them...

Tu Shan Ya Ya's bright eyes were filled with laughter as she smiled and gave a soft "hmm," nodding in agreement.

She was quite concerned about this stinky cockroach.

"Don't worry, I'll tell Rongrong and my sister."

"Then I'm leaving, this time for real..."

Dongfang Haoyang smiled as he looked at Tu Shan Ya Ya, who had a reluctant expression on her face.

"What's with the attitude? It's not like we're never going to see each other again."

"Ugh, you stinky cockroach, it's good that you're gone..."

"Then I'll disappear?!"

"You're not allowed to disappear! Come out of seclusion now, or I'll dig you out!"

"Your name is Chu Batian, right? Come with me."

"Ah, ooh ooh."

Watching Tu Shan Ya Ya leave with Chu Ba Tian, ​​Dongfang Haoyang breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Originally, Ya Ya thought she could easily deal with those Taoists, but unexpectedly, an evil cultivator had infiltrated among them. This time, Ya Ya almost fell victim to the blood talisman. If she had really been injured by it, even if Ya Ya is tough, she would probably need to recuperate for ten days to half a month.

Dongfang Haoyang had released all the remaining dozens of captured monsters, leaving only a Taoist priest lying unconscious on the ground.

"Soul Search!"

Dongfang Haoyang's eyes flashed with a chilling killing intent. He grabbed the Taoist priest by the head with one hand and yanked him up. The Taoist priest felt intense pain emanating from his soul and instantly awoke! He let out a shrill scream like a pig being slaughtered!

Before long, the illusory soul was roughly extracted by Dongfang Haoyang. After thoroughly searching the Taoist's memories, golden divine fire rose out of thin air, surrounded the Taoist, and quickly burned him into a pile of ashes.

After reading the soul's memories, Dongfang Haoyang's eyes turned extremely gloomy. In the Taoist's memories, he saw many filthy and unsavory dealings within the Taoist Alliance, involving all the major families, and most of them were related to a place called Tianxian Academy.

Humans possess intelligence, and prolonged contemplation of lust...

"Celestial Academy! What a Celestial Academy! They've committed so many despicable acts, yet it's only the tip of the iceberg!"

"Very well, after I've dealt with Jin Renfeng, the next target will be the Heavenly Immortal Academy! You all better stay alive and wait patiently with your necks clean!"

Dongfang Haoyang's eyes were filled with a chilling killing intent. If that Taoist priest had succeeded in capturing Ya Ya, he couldn't imagine how the little fox demon would have been treated.

In the memories of that rogue cultivator, he learned that the Heavenly Immortal Academy was a den of beasts and the central hub of dark transactions.

However, it is also a good place for him to prove his faith.

His path grows stronger not only by increasing the number of people with a sense of justice, but also by killing those who violate their conscience and wantonly trample on the dignity of others.

With each of these heinous Taoist priests who dies, his power of the Great Dao increases; if they all die, he can essentially ascend directly and become a Celestial Emperor.
