I have the best bloodline

Dragon Father snorted coldly, ignoring the holy spirits of the Netherworld. Frost surged from his body, temporarily freezing the pursuit of the spirits of the River of Oblivion. He then quickly moved horizontally into the void and disappeared above the River of Oblivion.

"."

Su Yan, who had been watching from afar, seemed to understand now why his father had repeatedly told him not to approach the River of Oblivion or go to help.

It turned out that he had planned from the beginning to make a quick and decisive strike and then flee without lingering, so Dragon Father did not consider taking Su Yan with him.

Otherwise, it's hard to say whether they can escape.

"Your father's assassination skills are very proficient. Did he often do this in the cultivation world?" Sister Xi'er witnessed the whole process of her father's show-off and then running away, and exclaimed in admiration at the proficiency of his assassination skills.

Hearing Xi'er's telepathic message, Su Yan's little fox face scrunched up, and he said dryly:

"I don't know either! Who knows who he intends to assassinate, given how skilled he is at assassination?"

"What did he throw into the river?" The Moon Emperor paid no attention to the whispered conversation between the two, as he had been keeping a close eye on the situation on the other side of the River of Oblivion. After seeing the assassin launch an attack on Tu Bo, he couldn't help but ask Su Yan and Sister Xi'er.

The assassin had spoken with Su Yan alone, so the three of them should know each other.

Therefore, if you want to know what poison the assassin put into the River of Oblivion, you should just ask Su Yan.

Chapter 858 Although Senior Ruonv is no longer in the martial arts world, her legend lives on everywhere.

"Uh, I don't know either!" Su Yan subconsciously stretched out his little fox paw and scratched his head. He only vaguely saw that his father was throwing out some shimmering liquid when he carried out the assassination, but he really didn't know what the liquid was.

They didn't even know if it was poisonous, and they couldn't answer the questions posed by the Moon God.

"Is that right?"

The Moon God nodded slightly, not asking Su Yan anything further, his gaze calmly fixed on the raging, violent river and the fleeing army of skeletons.

The capital city is situated on very high ground and is surrounded by high walls. The waters of the River of Oblivion cannot reach the capital city for the time being, but the Yin spirits and Yin messengers inside are blocked and cannot come out now, otherwise they might get splashed with river water.

The Moon God kept his eyes on the Earth God, watching the changes to come, but he didn't care much about the army of skeletons. There were countless entrances to the Netherworld, but only one exit. Even if they were released, they would never be able to escape the territory of the Netherworld.

After all, the exit has been temporarily closed, and only the Mother of Reincarnation can enter and exit freely at present. Other beings, including the Moon Goddess, are currently unable to use any means to go to the mortal realm.

Therefore, the Moon God didn't care about the fleeing army of skeletons at all. The most important thing at the moment was the River of Oblivion. The Moon God couldn't tell whether the spirit of the River of Oblivion harbored resentment towards the capital.

If resentment is harbored in one's heart, it will inevitably be a devastating disaster for the capital, and the worst possible outcome.

"Roar--"

At that very moment, on the River of Oblivion, the demon god, who had been merging very smoothly, let out a roar full of pain. The demon god, who had been standing on the river, slowly covered his face and knelt on one knee in the lake.

The sudden turn of events caught the holy spirits and messengers of the underworld and the people of the mortal realm completely off guard, leaving them utterly unaware of what had happened.

Although an assassin made a move, the assassin did not even touch Tu Bo. The attack only struck the barrier of the River of Oblivion.

The River of Oblivion possesses incredibly terrifying divine power, capable of erasing everything except true spirits.

The assassination attempt by that dragon assassin should not have affected Tu Bo, according to common sense.

"Ahhh-"

The demon god, transformed from Tu Bo, let out a childlike scream of suppressed pain. The mighty River of Oblivion became eerily calm at that moment, and the overwhelming ferocity and aura emanating from the demon god also weakened.

"Kiss kiss—"

After the river calmed down, suddenly, a series of crisp sounds, like squeezing out foam paper, a few things wrapped in red film appeared on the River of Oblivion.

One by one, thousands of eggs, each wrapped in a thin, blood-red membrane, rose from the River of Oblivion.

As the egg rose, the roars and howls of the spirit of the River of Oblivion gradually weakened, leaving only weak groans, sounding extremely tired.

"Could it be..."

Su Yan's eyes widened, and the image of Senior Ruonv gradually appeared in his mind, as if he had figured something out.

The elder Ruonv was ordained by Heaven to go to the side of the Yellow Emperor as his teacher and impart his cultivation methods. Furthermore, she created a dual cultivation method for immortality that belongs to the human race.

Ruonv once forged a magical artifact, intending only to increase the human race's birth rate. However, the artifact seemed to have its own ideas, and once activated, it could cause everything around it to indiscriminately give birth to new life.

Whether it's a living organism or an inorganic matter, even a stone will cause a small pebble to be formed.

That incredibly evil thing was sealed away by the Nuwa herself and disappeared into the annals of history.

Throughout history, Yinglong Mama has been living in the treasure trove of Yinglong. Inside the treasure trove are murals of the ancient Ruonv, but the corresponding collection room is an empty room with no items inside.

Su Yan seemed to understand something.

That room should have originally contained Senior Ruonv's magical treasure. Then, it should have fallen into the hands of the Four Seas Dragon King or Dragon Father, which explains why Su Yan came out from next door and saw the empty room.

Dragon Father uses Ruonv's magical treasure to assassinate Earth God!

When Su Yan thought of this, he couldn't help but gasp.

"No wonder I was wondering why Father used such strange descriptions. Now I understand." Su Yan, who was perched on Xi'er's shoulder and peeking around, said with a look of sudden realization.

"What did you realize?" Sister Xi'er was taking pictures with great interest when she heard Su Yan's exclamation. She subconsciously put the picture crystal next to Su Yan's fox-like mouth and asked with a curious look.

"Nothing's wrong," Su Yan said with a sigh. "Before... cough cough cough..." He coughed twice unconsciously, glanced at the Crown Prince Taiyin beside him, swallowed the word "father" before continuing:

"He had previously said that he did not actually intend to assassinate Tu Bo, but only wanted to delay him and slow down his integration process."

"At the time, I thought he wanted to use the dragons' ability to control water to target the waters of the River of Oblivion, or use the power of winter to give the spirit of the River of Oblivion some color, but I didn't expect that what he meant by delaying the fusion process was this."

How can we delay the fusion of Tu Bo and the Wangchuan River?

By directly exhausting the power accumulated in the River of Oblivion, rendering it powerless to merge, the ultimate goal of delaying time was successfully achieved.

The River of Oblivion has produced over a thousand eggs in one go. Now, let alone continuing to merge with Tu Bo, the fact that it still has the energy to breathe is already an incredibly remarkable feat.

When demons and mountain spirits give birth to newborns, it puts a great strain on the mother's body.

Dragon Father's move really tormented the spirit of the River of Oblivion.

"Ho ho ho-"

As if in response to Su Yan's guess, the demon god, who was kneeling on the River of Oblivion, slowly raised his head and subconsciously looked at the various holy spirits in the void above.

It is currently expending a great deal of energy and needs external resources to compensate for its losses in order to continue perfecting the unsuccessful fusion process.

These nourishing blood and sustenance items that the local people had prepared but hadn't used before, due to the rapid progress, are now coming in handy.

"Wait! Lord Tubo, I am your loyal subordinate! You can't treat me like this!"

The spirits of the underworld immediately noticed the ill-intentioned gaze of the spirit of the River of Oblivion. They quickly spoke up to state their position, pointing to the people of the mortal realm with cold sweat on their brows, saying, "Over there...over there, we will go and fetch you some blood food to replenish your body immediately."

"hiss?"

Upon hearing this, the visitors from the mortal realm changed their expressions drastically, staring in utter shock and bewilderment at the Holy Spirit of the Netherworld and the Primordial Guardian who was halfway through his transformation.

They weren't people of the old order; they only came all the way from the Primordial Immortal Realm to Youdu because they heard there might be some good deals here. They never expected to face an attack from the Netherworld.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 859 Youchao Clan

"Roar!"

The spirits of the underworld rushed towards the people of the mortal realm. The spirit of the River of Oblivion seemed to think that keeping these spirits of the underworld would be of some use, so it stopped looking at them and instead focused its attention on the spirits of the mortal realm.

The crystal-clear, blood-red river, at this moment, boiled once more, its crimson light illuminating the area.

"Sister Xi'er"

Su Yan sat up straight from her prone position, jumped onto the tea table, looked at Sister Xi'er, and said, "Do you need any help?"

The spirit of the River of Oblivion, having undergone a forced delivery, is now extremely weak. It can only replenish the energy and immortal spirit it previously consumed by eating in order to continue its fusion process.

The help Su Yan was referring to wasn't about foolishly engaging in a direct battle with the spirit of the River of Oblivion on the River of Oblivion itself.

It's just to offer a little help to those elders in the mortal realm, so that they won't all be captured by the Holy Spirits of the Underworld and become food for the spirits of the River of Oblivion.

To give the spirit of the River of Oblivion a chance to recover, all of Dragon Father's dangerous assassination attempt was in vain.

"We are kind-hearted nine-tailed foxes. It's normal for us to offer a little help to those in distress. After all, this is a risk-free and highly profitable investment business," Sister Xi joked, her eyes, hidden under the white cloth, narrowed slightly, and a surge of energy emanated from her body.

She clearly agreed with Su Yan's words. The spirit of the River of Oblivion was extremely weak at the moment. If they could intercept the blood food and completely interrupt its fusion process, it would probably take it quite a while to recover.

Thus, apart from the Dragon Girl who has never appeared, all the high-ranking members of the Netherworld have been wiped out, from the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden to Hunyi and Tubo. Even with Youchao Clan supporting them behind the scenes, it will take a long time for the Netherworld to rebuild its leadership.

"Then..."

Su Yan jumped off the tea table, revealing his youthful form as he looked toward the River of Oblivion. Behind him, three-colored light gradually illuminated the void, and a three-colored world slowly unfolded in the gray and desolate Youdu.

"I am Su Yan, a general under the Queen Mother of the West and a member of the Su Fox Clan. If you are not in eternal slumber, then you are all to be hidden in my universe!"

Activating the method of returning to emptiness and merging with the Dao, the spirit of turbid water, entwined with flesh and blood, emerged, facing the demon god manifested by the spirit of the River of Oblivion across a town. Su Yan floated above the void and shouted loudly to the people of the mortal realm.

Behind Su Yan, the Spirit of Turbid Water raised its hand, and a vast, gray-brown ocean surged forth from the universe. An endless torrent surrounded the Spirit of Turbid Water, transforming into a long halberd imbued with the power of laws, which it then hurled towards the Holy Spirit of the Netherworld.

Su Yan smiled, holding the Tongyou Divine Sword, ready to cover the retreat for his fellow Daoists.

But after Su Yan grasped the Tongyou Divine Sword, a blood-red light screen suddenly appeared in front of him.

Thirty-six chibi-style ghosts and gods jumped around, their foreheads covered in cold sweat, their hands and feet flailing about. They all squeezed into the lower left corner of Su Yan's field of vision, pointing and gesturing towards a certain spot. They also framed a section of empty space with a blood-red frame, signaling Su Yan to quickly notice this corner.

Su Yan was taken aback and followed the guidance of the thirty-six ghost gods to the void that appeared normal.

But there was nothing in the void, and neither the naked eye nor divine sense could detect anything unusual.

While Su Yan was distracted and scanning the area, the Void Halberd that the Spirit of Turbid Water had thrown with all its might expanded into a terrifying wave the moment it left its body. The Void Water Curtain that blotted out the sky sealed off the space and the earth, rushing straight toward the Holy Spirit of the Netherworld and the Spirit of the River of Oblivion.

"call--"

A gentle breeze blew out from the capital, stretching across the boundary between Su Yan and the Netherworld.

The halberd, possessing the property of eroding and self-destructing into nothingness, crashed into the Qingfeng Barrier with a world-shaking wave. After the two were locked in a stalemate in the void for a moment, the gray-brown void spring gradually turned into a torrential rain that fell to the earth.

A gentle breeze revealed a human figure, which seemed to be sitting cross-legged or preparing to stand up, appearing vaguely, facing Su Yan and Sister Xi'er with its back to the Netherworld crowd.

From Su Yan's perspective, one blood-red frame after another enveloped the blurry shadow. The thirty-six ghosts and gods hurriedly scurried around, taking out one character after another from the void, as if trying to piece together something. However, whenever the characters were about to form a connection, they would eventually shatter into nothingness.

In the end, the thirty-six ghosts and gods could only dejectedly take out three words and place them on the red frame:

Youchao Clan

Youchao is the honorific name of the embodiment of the Way of Heaven, meaning home.

It is like a roof over the heads of all living beings, covering them with its own hands while also sheltering them from the wind and rain.
