The male supporting character was actually myself.

He jogged all the way to the small valley mentioned in the Book of Prophecy, then released the restriction on the Soul Nourishing Jade and whispered, "Senior, senior, I know the news about the sect where the divine beast is located."

"Oh? Where is it?" Upon hearing this, Hong Luo finished her cultivation and her semi-transparent figure floated out from the Soul Jade. She asked anxiously, "Do you know the exact location? I... I might have to go there to find out. After all, the demon race's sacred artifact is extremely important to us."

Jiang Chen waved his paw to signal her to calm down. "All I know is that it's a mysterious sect called the Heavenly Dao Sect, which is rarely recorded even in the human world. I don't know its exact location yet."

However, the Heavenly Dao Sect has another secret related to the demon race—the soul of a nine-tailed fox is sealed within the body of the next sect leader, and it should not have been completely refined yet.

A nine-tailed fox?!

Hong Luo was stunned. After a long while, she frowned and said softly, "I am just a remnant soul, so there are some things I don't remember clearly. But as far as I know, the Nine-Tailed Fox did not perish, but..."

Her expression grew increasingly serious. "Little Cat, if your information is accurate, perhaps the news that the Nine-Tailed Fox is asleep is false, and that she was seriously injured and went into hiding is true!"

No wonder the demon realm was in such chaos, with many demon gods forced to reincarnate.

Do you know where the next sect leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect is? Perhaps I can try to find out. If she really is suppressing the Nine-Tailed Fox, maybe I can find a way to rescue her before she is refined!

The Nine-Tailed Fox is a top-tier demon in the demon realm. If even a wisp of its remnant soul were freed, perhaps the demon race could quell the chaos!

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and pressed on, "Senior, I was born in the human world and don't know much about the demon race. Is the nine-tailed fox male or female? It's not the kind of ferocious beast that can be slaughtered indiscriminately, is it? If we release it rashly, will it...?"

"Don't worry about that. Although the Nine-Tailed Fox is both righteous and evil, it is generally reasonable." Hong Luo pointed upwards with her slender hand and smiled, "Under the laws of Heaven, even a great demon has to have some reservations when doing evil. What's more, that guy... with his arrogant nature, he would never stoop to attacking humans who are not strong enough. Otherwise, the demon race would not have lost so badly in the war between the two realms."

The Nine-Tailed Fox is a man with perfect looks, arrogant and only interested in those stronger than him.

"Don't worry, as long as I can communicate with him, I will definitely make sure he's harmless to the human world before helping him escape. Otherwise, wouldn't I be an accomplice in harming innocent people?"

In the storyline fabricated by the virus, Yan'er and Gu Xingzhou fall in love and help each other in the process of leveling up, and Yan'er only manages to completely refine the suppressed nine-tailed fox demon with the help of Gu Xingzhou's divine soul power.

Everything is just beginning. Yan'er is still struggling with that suppressed and powerless remnant soul.

"Senior, if my information is correct, the people from the Heavenly Dao Sect will be landing here soon."

Jiang Chen licked his paws and looked up at the dim sky without moonlight. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't show yourself rashly later. Let me deal with him. It would be best if we could determine whether he has the aura of a nine-tailed fox without fighting. If we have to fight, I would appreciate your help."

He has now unlocked some permissions, but many magical artifacts in the system space require a lot of spiritual power to activate. If the soul artifacts can't handle it and the little white cat is also overwhelmed, he can ask Hong Luo for help.

"No problem!" Hong Luo was both excited and nervous. Could he really find the remnant soul of the Nine-Tailed Fox by sheer coincidence? What exactly happened to him back then, and why did he perish without warning?

Even... how strong must the body of the superhuman sealed in the human world be to suppress the remnant soul of that great demon?

At the same time, several figures with flowing sleeves flew across the dark sky on flying swords at an extremely fast speed, so fast that even top-level superhumans did not notice them at all.

"Hmm, the mortal world is still so boring." The leader was a handsome young man with a jade crown in his hair. He wore a white robe with blue trim, similar to the others, with the Heavenly Dao Sect's emblem embroidered in gold thread on his chest.

The other dozen or so people were clearly disciples and dared not speak up casually;

Surrounded in the middle was a girl with a cold and beautiful face, no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. Her delicate face was filled with resentment, clearly indicating that she was in a bad mood.

Beside her stood a woman with a powerful aura, dressed in palace attire. Upon hearing this, she said softly, "Mo Yu, the mortal realm is naturally incomparable to a sect."

However, this world is inhabited by many humans and demons of extraordinary strength. Our mission is merely to protect the young lady; please refrain from arrogance and complacency.

Upon hearing this, the team leader, named Moyu, glanced at the girl he admired, Yan'er, and said in a deep voice, "Isn't it just a little trouble caused by the small family where Junior Sister stayed back then? What's so difficult to resolve?"

At worst, we can raze the entire town to the ground and vent our anger for that old friend.

The spiritual energy here is far too thin; it's uncomfortable to stay here for long. It's better to resolve this trouble sooner and return to the sect to cultivate.

The woman frowned slightly and said coldly, "It is true that all people are ants to cultivators, but it is better to avoid killing as many people as possible to prevent the growth of inner demons in the future."

"Hahaha, Aunt Xia, you're overthinking it." Mo Yu glanced at Yan'er's expression, seemingly unfazed by the idea of ​​venting her anger by flattening her. He became even more arrogant and said, "Inner demons arise from caring. These mere ants are not enough to make me care. I killed them today, and I don't even remember them from a few days ago. How could they have inner demons?"

Let alone daring to bully Junior Sister's old friends, even mocking or being indifferent to them is a capital offense!

Aren't all those annoying mortals pretty much the same? Mocking, mocking, and kicking someone when they're down. Treating Junior Sister's old friends like this is a slap in the face to our Heavenly Dao Sect. To kill them with a single blow would be a sign of our magnanimity, sparing them the torment of being burned by heavenly fire.

The woman was about to say something more, but Yan'er interrupted her directly, "Aunt Xia, the Great Wilderness Mountain is just ahead. Let's find a place to stay. We need to find out where Brother Xingzhou is staying before we can deal with the rest of the matter."

"Yes!" The woman bowed respectfully, then controlled her flying sword and chose a place to land.

Yan'er, dressed in a flowing fairy dress, appeared cold and aloof, but in reality, she was filled with anger. She felt that Mo Yu's words made a lot of sense; anyone who dared to disrespect Brother Xingzhou would be sentenced to death!

Back then, I was temporarily residing in Junxi Town for some reason, so I naturally had some understanding of the ordinary people living there.

They are so audacious that they don't even respect superhumans. When Xingzhou was forcefully jilted, they must have been mocking and ridiculing him behind his back. Just thinking about the pain Xingzhou suffered makes her heart ache.

That's the best Seongju brother in the world!

She still remembered many nights when that kind-hearted boy would climb in through the window and clumsily tend to her body; when everyone else avoided her because of their different social status, he was the only one who could always bring her many fun little gadgets...

"Let's land here." The woman chose an inconspicuous little valley and indicated that they should land. The others had no objections and their flying swords descended at an extremely fast speed.

Sensing the information fed back by the soul artifact, Jiang Chen stretched and waved his paw, coldly saying, "The trash from the Heavenly Dao Sect dares to run wild in this world? And they even have the audacity to say that mortals are all ants? Hmph, aren't they afraid of being laughed at!"

The little white cat received the signal, and immediately took action with a magical artifact in its paw.

A flash of cold light appeared, and before everyone could even land and regain their footing, the leader of the team, Mo Yu, who was still arrogant just moments before his head hit the ground, was already dead and gone!

Chapter Thirty-Three: Deterrence

"How dare you!"

"Who's lying in ambush here?!"

"Senior Brother?! Senior Brother has been killed!"

…………

The dozen or so members of the Heavenly Dao Sect immediately became alert. After a brief moment of panic, they all drew their swords and formed a defensive formation, protecting Yan'er in the center.

The strongest woman was completely unaware that Mo Yu, a rising star of the Heavenly Dao Sect, had been killed right before her eyes. Her heart tightened and she became fully alert. "We are members of the Heavenly Dao Sect. When did we invite this deadly trouble? We have no past grudges or present enmity. Why did you slaughter a disciple of the sect?"

"Oh? Your people were killed because there was no past grudge or recent enmity. What grudge or enmity do the people of Junxi Town have against you?"

Why are they considered insignificant ants easily crushed, while the death of just one of your people is met with such furious rage, as if their parents have died?

Jiang Chen nimbly jumped from the shadows to the treetops near them, blinked his big, bright black eyes, tilted his head, and laughed: "As cultivators, you don't take it upon yourselves to uphold the laws of Heaven, but instead use the name of Heaven to do demonic things."

I advise you not to be so hypocritical; anyone who encounters my hypocritical dogs never ends up well.

The group, who were on high alert, thought that the one who could kill their senior brother in an instant must be some kind of master in the human world. They never expected that it was just a small black kitten the size of a fist, with no spiritual energy or demonic aura, but capable of speaking human language.

They looked at each other, then at their eldest brother, who had been dead and dismembered as soon as he landed. None of them dared to be careless.

"Hmph, with me, the Assassin Cat, here, you can forget about doing anything wrong!" Confident that she had killed the worst guy with a single move using her magic weapon, the fluffy little creature stood proudly beside her host, hands on her hips, and said, "Don't worry, host, I'll protect you!"

A disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect angrily retorted, "We've only just arrived here and haven't even heard of Junxi Town yet. How could we be engaging in demonic acts? On the contrary, you, a strange demonic cat, ambushed and killed our senior brother. You deserve to die!"

"Oh? Who was it that had the audacity to say they would slap everyone in Junxi Town to avenge your junior sister's old friend?"

Jiang Chen scratched his ear with his hind leg and laughed, "So you were just talking and didn't really mean to help your junior sister get revenge?"

Tsk tsk, if you don't have the guts to do evil, don't make threats. I just assume the demonic path is using the Heavenly Dao Sect's name to attack and harm the local people.

Words can be dangerous; your senior brother has already set a good example.

"You all need to see how miserable his end will be. From now on, you'd better not even entertain the thought of killing mortals at will, or if I discover even the slightest hint of it, you'll still be sentenced to death!"

“You…” Yan’er had always been pampered since she was a child, and she had never suffered such grievances. She was so angry that her face turned slightly pale.

Hearing that his brother Xingzhou had been humiliated and that his mother had asked for his help, he brought the elites of his sect to come and clear his name of the suspicion of being framed. However, he did not expect to lose a master as soon as he arrived. He was both angry and disappointed.

He was furious that the little demon cat had such audacity to slaughter the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Disappointingly, as a rising star, Mo Yu died from the demon cat's sneak attack without even a chance to fight back, which was a disgrace to the inner disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, which is known as the Divine Sect.

"What's wrong with me? Do you know me?" Jiang Chen wagged her fluffy tail, covered her mouth with her paw and laughed, "Meow~ You don't know me, but I do know you."

The next sect leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect who was staying at the Gu family's residence in Junxi Town back then, huh? You must be here for that lecherous playboy, Gu Xingzhou.

"You're a pretty young lady, but why aren't you as bright as he seems? It's best to stay away from someone who can't distinguish right from wrong, otherwise you'll just become his pawn and be used for nothing."

Yan'er's face turned pale with anger. She unleashed a sharp sword light and said coldly, "This mere demon cat dared to ambush and kill an inner disciple of my Heavenly Dao Sect. It deserves death for one crime; it also slandered Brother Xingzhou. It deserves death for the second!"

"Host, be careful!" The little white cat hurriedly used the mirror magic item to block the attack, and then added a spell like an incantation to protect him before he relaxed a little.

Jiang Chen didn't move at all; his soul weapon had already neutralized the sword energy.

Seeing her furious, the little black kitten laughed so hard it almost fell over. "What? Are you so ashamed that I exposed Gu Xingzhou's true colors that you want to kill me to silence me? Tch~ Back when you were staying at the Gu family's house in Junxi Town, who was it that stayed up late at night, climbed through the window into your room, and groped you under the pretext of nourishing your body?"

"Stop fooling yourself. As the next sect leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect, you've had a Heaven-level cultivation technique since childhood. You broke through to level three at such a young age, why would you need someone who hasn't even reached level one to nurture your body? He touches you thoroughly every night, and you still say he's not a lecherous bastard?"

"What?" Upon hearing this, the woman's face paled slightly, and she looked at her young mistress with an incredulous expression.

Back then, Miss was temporarily staying at the Gu family in Junxi Town for some reason. I happened to be in seclusion and therefore could not go with her to protect her. The maid who was responsible for protecting her never showed up on weekdays, so the Gu family did not even know of her existence.

But that little lecherous brat actually... took liberties with the young lady behind the back of her personal maid?

If this is true, even tearing Gu Xingzhou to pieces wouldn't be enough to quell my anger! And that negligent maid, she must be held responsible!

"You, you shouldn't talk nonsense." Yan'er was clearly a naive and innocent princess from a sect. She couldn't lie or even hide her expression. That's why she was so devoted to Gu Xingzhou, even if she would be alone in the future.

At this moment, the little demon cat dodged the sword energy and exposed her secret. She was both angry and ashamed, and her pretty face turned slightly red.

Jiang Chen provocatively raised his right leg and licked his pubic hair, slowly saying, "Then do you dare to swear an oath to your Daoist heart? If Gu Xingzhou hadn't broken into your bed through the window in the middle of the night and groped you all over..."

Before he could finish speaking, a guilty-looking Yan'er blushed to the roots of her neck and scolded, "Stop talking! That's my business, what does it have to do with you?"

"Miss, is this really true?" Aunt Xia looked at her with a solemn expression, though she already knew the truth in her heart.

Given Miss's innocent and pure nature, she wouldn't be so embarrassed if the demon cat had just torn it off.

At this moment, her behavior was completely one of embarrassment and anger after being exposed!

"Yu Yan, you escort Miss back to the sect. I will handle the matter in Junxi Town." Aunt Xia's beautiful eyes were filled with anger, but she performed a sword salute with her hands and said, "Mo Yu's arrogant words and inferior skills led to his death, which was his own fault. This matter is settled and will not be pursued further."

Xuexia thanked the little demon cat for revealing her past secrets, and said she would be happy to seek help from the Heavenly Dao Sect if needed in the future.

As she spoke, she tossed over a jade pendant that served as a guide, and said coldly, "If there's nothing else, please, demon cat, stop meddling in other people's business, lest you get hurt by the indiscriminate swords."

Jiang Chen reached out and took the jade pendant, glanced at it, and casually put it into his space. He tilted his head and looked at her, asking, "Can you have the final say in front of the future sect leader? If you can abide by the rules here and not cause trouble or kill innocent people, I will naturally just supervise and be too lazy to meddle in other people's business."

But if anyone else acts like that guy, constantly harboring thoughts of slaughtering the town, and considers themselves superior and invincible just because they are cultivators, I, the little demon cat, will not stand idly by.

He gestured towards the ground with his chin, "Look, that's a living example."

"Since I am here on business outside the sect, I have the authority to act as I see fit, and my word is law." Aunt Xia glanced behind her and then looked at Mo Yu's corpse before nodding. "The people of the Heavenly Dao Sect will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and they will certainly abide by the laws and rules of this place."

Mo Yu is a standout among the new generation of the Heavenly Dao Sect. The fact that he was able to kill Mo Yu in one fell swoop without Mo Yu even having time to react suggests that this mysterious little demon cat has an extremely terrifying origin.

She didn't know much about the mortal world, and on her first trip outside the sect in many years, she was given a rude awakening by a little demon cat.

Even with her vast experience and knowledge, Aunt Xia couldn't see through its hidden true strength, so she naturally dared not be arrogant and reckless anymore.

Seeing that Aunt Xia was being polite and courteous to the little demon cat, and looking at the senior brother's still-warm corpse, the others realized that if they didn't behave themselves, they would be incredibly stupid. So they all held their breath and dared not say a word.
