I have the best bloodline

The leakage of spiritual energy is like a pressure release. Because the cultivation world itself moves and changes direction, it compresses the earth's veins. The artificial earth vein array judges this as an ordinary earthquake and does not issue any warnings after it has finished adjusting itself.

"Little Fox"

Grand Tutor Jin lowered his head again after looking up and closing his eyes in thought, and said to Su Yan, "Go to the Cloud Mist Tea House in front of the Imperial City Gate and inform True Monarch Hua to come to me. There are three of us, including me, you, and him, who may all need to go to the Black Pit."

In the last sentence, Grand Tutor Jin specifically pointed out that Su Yan would also be back later, so he shouldn't run away in a flash.

Emperor Wusheng is not currently in the Xia Dynasty. He is probably dissecting a true immortal with his fellow Daoists, extracting their essence, blood, and spiritual tissue for another flesh-and-blood experiment.

To access the control center of the artificial ley lines, a divine key is required to open the door.

This is the password from the Nine-Tailed Fox Celestial, which can currently open the gate, which leads to the Empress Dowager inside Su Yan's body.

Therefore, Grand Tutor Jin specifically told Su Yan to remember to come back later, as the three of them needed to go to the storeroom inside the Demon Suppression Bureau.

"Uh, so urgent? Well..."

"If Yu Ruo's telepathic communication is so reliable, guess why I trained Zhou You and the others to run errands?" Grand Tutor Jin shook his head and said, "Whether it's spiritual sense or divine sense, there's always a risk of leakage after it leaves the body. Some things can only be discussed face-to-face to eliminate the risk of leakage."

"If you don't believe I can get to the capital, you don't even need to go outside the capital gate. Just go to the outside of the office building and shout into the courtyard: 'Immortal Paradise, there is a secret.'"

"Believe it or not, these peeping tom freaks can fill my yard in three seconds."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan's expression turned subtle, and he said with a strange look, "Sorry, I didn't think it through."

Su Yan rarely pries into other people's privacy. If something happens, he will ask directly if he can, and if not, he will find out on his own.

He had never done anything like peeping or anything shameful, and his moral standards were very high in the cultivation world. Naturally, he was also very accustomed to using sound transmission jade and other sound transmission methods. Su Yan completely ignored some guys who were similar to the Blissful Immortal.

They have absolutely no morals; they gossip and pry into the privacy of other cultivators, then filter out information that can be sold and put it on the information market.

Artificial earth veins, Daoist True Lords, and methods of suppressing nightmares are not matters that can be discussed openly, so Grand Tutor Jin naturally could not personally come forward and communicate with them telepathically.

“…The Immortal of Bliss?” Su Yan stood in front of the Grand Tutor’s mansion, a thoughtful expression on his face, and murmured a question.

"Hmm? Is there something you need?" The Blissful Immortal's voice transmitted to Su Yan's heart:

“I’m outside Xia Yu’s city, watching two huge beasts going crazy. If you have something to say, just say it. If it’s not a big deal, I’m too lazy to go over.”

Su Yan: "."

You're really here!

I thought my great-grandfather was just saying it casually.

"I apologize, senior. My aunt just asked me what the renovation style of my new house is like. I haven't been home yet, so I don't know. For a moment, I thought of your supernatural ability to know everything under the heavens and unintentionally recited your name."

"Your home? The one in Qingqiu is a mix of styles, while the one in Beihai is extremely elaborate, filled with handicrafts." After hearing Su Yan's explanation, Jile Xianhua said with a smug look.

It turned out that Dragon Dad and Fox Mom had built two houses. Su Yan looked annoyed and thanked Senior Blissful Immortal for the information.

Chapter 493 Past Causes, Present Effects

"Faced with the rolling black mist and the red moon hanging high in the sky, the Beast Taming Sect Master tried his best but still couldn't stop the invading enemy. Under the blood-red light, even with the great formation blocking them, the disciples aged and died one by one."

"Finally, the enemy hidden in the darkness unleashed a massive, sky-covering palm strike, blasting the Beast Taming Sect, which the sect leader valued highly, along with its grand formation, into the earth."

When Su Yan arrived at the Cloud Mist Tea House, he saw Dao Hua Zhenjun sitting on a square table on the central steps of the tea house. A cup of clear tea emitted wisps of steam, creating a scene in the air above the tea house depicting the massacre of the Beast Taming Sect.

Dao Hua Zhenjun held a fan in his hand and gently fiddled with it. The rising mist outlined an image that seemed to come alive:

"Seeing that the situation was hopeless, and knowing that the enemy's hatred for the sect could not be erased, the Beast Taming Sect Master turned around and personally slaughtered the sect's high-ranking members. He then hid the spirit beasts he had raised, forcing them to carry the sect's lineage and endless wealth inside the white tower, forbidding them from leaving."

"As for the sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect, to find out what happens next, please wait for the next chapter."

Dao Hua Zhenjun grasped his folding fan, chuckled, and slapped it on the table, creating a startling sound that dispersed the clouds in the air. He then downed the tea in his covered bowl in one gulp, rose from his seat, and walked toward the door, looking at Su Yan who had been watching him.

"Young Master Su, are you here to listen to a story?" Dao Hua Zhenjun ignored the murmurs behind him and looked at Su Yan with a slightly teasing tone.

"Why are you here telling stories?" Su Yan did not answer Dao Hua Zhenjun's question, but said with a strange expression, "It doesn't seem normal for a great power in the Tribulation Transcending stage to run around telling stories in the marketplace."

"Why not?"

Dao Hua Zhenjun followed Su Yan out, smiling as he said, "I belong to no sect or school, and my cultivation is stuck at a bottleneck because of my cultivation method, so I've naturally returned to my old hobbies to pass the time."

"Moreover, I'm not really telling a story. I'm just recounting what I've heard and seen before. Seeing the amazement, regret, and envy in the eyes of the audience gives me a sense of satisfaction and pride."

"Compared to the ordinary lives of most people, which can be summed up in just a few strokes of the pen, I am very satisfied that I can avoid repeating the story of my experiences over several months."

Dao Hua Zhenjun's words revealed his superiority complex, looking down on the mortal world.

The meanings of cultivation vary. Dao Hua Zhenjun, who came from a poor background, embarked on the path of cultivation because he wanted to become a superior immortal and show off his superiority in front of the weak.

If one cannot flaunt one's superiority and enjoy the worship and envy of the weak, then cultivation is meaningless for a Daoist True Lord.

Of course, having experienced the beating from Great-Grandma Fox and knowing the viciousness of Su Yan's father, Dao Hua Zhenjun still maintained the composure of a cultivator in front of Su Yan, and did not act sloppily or look at Su Yan with a crooked mouth and crooked eyes.

Su Yan led Dao Hua Zhenjun into the imperial carriage and headed towards the Grand Tutor's mansion, casually asking, "What happened to the story of the Beast Taming Sect in the end?"

"The Beast Taming Sect was basically wiped out, and all the direct bloodline of the sect leader died on the spot. The collateral bloodline was cursed by the Lord of the Night. Before she gives birth to a new life, the Huang clan's talents and compatibility will be transformed into nourishment, blessing the Lord of the Night to give birth to a child with unparalleled talents."

Dao Hua Zhenjun chuckled and said, "It is a method of sacrifice."

The Lord of the Night's hatred for the Beast Taming Sect was not limited to the sect's high-ranking members who devised the schemes. After all the masterminds were completely dissolved in the Blood Moon, the nine clans associated with the masterminds were all cursed by the Lord of the Night.

Before the Lord of Night gives birth to a new life, those who are cursed cannot cultivate. Their talents and affinities are all transformed into nourishment for the sacrificial ritual, used to bless and empower the newborn who may appear in the future.

After thousands of years, dozens of generations of sacrifices, and millennia of rituals and prayers for forgiveness, the newborn child born from the Lord of Night must be a true monster.

Even before it was conceived, it had already absorbed the talent, affinity, and fortune of hundreds of thousands of people. Once it grows and has exhausted the nutrients stored in its mother's womb, the demon races of the cultivation world should welcome a true king who reigns supreme.

The Lord of Night's belly is a real treasure; if only we could steal a little of its nutrients...

"Forget it. The Beast Taming Sect matter is over; it's just a story now." Dao Hua Zhenjun shook his head, banishing the terrifying thought of courting death from his mind, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Grand Tutor Jin must have some instructions, right? Tell me!"

Stealing an item from one of the world's most powerful rulers is no different from courting death.

The thought of stealing only lasted a second before it was completely banished from Dao Hua Zhenjun's mind.

"The method of sacrifice?"

Su Yan ignored Dao Hua Zhenjun's question and began to ponder with a thoughtful expression.

It turns out that my aunt's friend, the Mosquito Daoist's family, had such a tortuous and bizarre experience in their ancestor, the Huang family. No wonder the Huang family head poured all his cultivation resources into the Mosquito Daoist, raising her into a great demon, without leaving anything for the Huang family or passing on any of the Beast Taming Sect's techniques to his clansmen.

Instead, they sent Mosquito Taoist to take care of the Huang clan.

Thinking of this, Su Yan sighed softly, unsure how to evaluate the matter.

Today's consequences are the result of past causes. The Beast Taming Sect's ambition brought about its own destruction, and even its descendants suffered the consequences.

All we can say is that we hope the Lord of the Night can quickly give birth to a new life to settle this grudge and liberate Huang Yin and those who are desperately seeking the path of cultivation.

No one can intervene in this matter, and no one can persuade the Lord of Night to be kind. Although the current plight of the descendants of the Beast Taming Sect is pitiful, the Lord of Night is the true victim in this whole affair.

She did nothing wrong, yet she was betrayed and killed by her former fellow Daoist, the Beast Taming Sect, who killed her husband and child.

In Su Yan's view, advising the victim to be magnanimous is an act that would be considered a traitor.

………………

"You're a little later than I expected."

Standing in the courtyard, Grand Tutor Jin, who was supervising the top students' cultivation of body-refining techniques, turned around and looked at Su Yan and Dao Hua Zhenjun, who had just entered, and said:

"Well, did the little fox tell you anything?"

"We talked about some things on the way here, but those things are probably not something I can change, right?" Dao Hua Zhenjun looked at Jin Taishi and said, "I don't want to cause even bigger problems after making changes, which would enrage Wusheng Emperor and have him chop me up with one stroke."

"It's just a few mortals dying. Let's wait until His Majesty returns and then discuss this further!"

Dao Hua Zhenjun's face revealed his resistance; he had no intention of getting involved in the earth vein incident.

Changing the earth vein formation well won't earn praise and worship, but if it's done poorly, Grand Tutor Jin can easily shift the blame onto himself, extricate himself from the whole affair, and leave him alone in the Hall of Ten Thousand Generations to face the wrath of Emperor Wusheng.

Dao Hua Zhenjun would not do such a foolish thing. It would only cause the deaths of some common people, which would be of no consequence and could even save Xia Yu some grain!

"Well said, but I refuse."

Grand Tutor Jin looked at Dao Hua Zhenjun and said, "I am not asking for your opinion now, but informing you that you need to accompany me to the Demon Suppression Division. Do you see anything wrong with that?"

Daohua Zhenjun chuckled and said:

"Since things have come to this point, what can I say? Grand Tutor Xia Yu is wise and dedicated to the country and its people!"

Given the current situation where he was in a stronger position, and seeing the faint hint of anger on Grand Tutor Jin's face, Dao Hua Zhenjun immediately backed down.

The Emperor of No Life is indeed terrifying, but this old dragon in front of us is no ordinary character either. Besides, we're currently standing on his territory. You can say whatever you want!

I woke up from my nap suddenly, feeling dizzy, and accidentally pinched my left hand when I closed the bathroom door.

I'm now typing with one finger.

Chapter 494 The Prison in the Dark

Faced with the powerful Grand Tutor Jin, Dao Hua Zhenjun simply chose to keep his mouth shut.

Clearly, Dao Hua Zhenjun's casual remarks had really angered Grand Tutor Jin.

Putting aside the pet collar around his neck, we're still on someone else's territory. If we really anger the Grand Tutor, it's basically equivalent to offending the Xia Yu Dynasty. In that case, Dao Hua Zhenjun might die on the road before he even leaves the capital.

The people of other countries may be mere straw dogs, but the people and cultivators of Xia Yu are extremely valuable resources in the eyes of the highest-ranking officials of Xia Yu. Any large-scale loss or actions that shake the morale of the people are tantamount to a declaration of war.

Due to the earthquake, Xia Yu lost over a thousand people in just half a month. Fortunately, the people originally lived in relatively remote areas, so it did not cause any large-scale riots or panic among the people of Xia Yu.

If we don't reset the ley line parameters now to increase coverage and spiritual energy output, it will be very difficult to cover up the news if a city disappears due to a spatial rift.

Therefore, Grand Tutor Jin does not have time to wait for Emperor Wusheng to return and reset the earth vein parameters.

The people and cultivators on the territory are the most valuable resources of the Xia Yu Dynasty, and are related to the safety of the nation's destiny!

It was just some ordinary people who died?

I want to strangle you right now, is that okay?

........................

Grand Tutor Jin didn't say anything at the mansion. After subduing Dao Hua Zhenjun with his eyes, he led Su Yan and Dao Hua Zhenjun to the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Division in the imperial city.

The arrival of the three did not affect the new recruits who were undergoing training in the training ground.
