Chapter 30: Furious Yellow Weasel Spirit

Mu Yi raised his eyebrows, didn't expect to still be able to trigger a faction mission, but it could have no interest in switching to the Qing Court faction.

However, this faction mission gave him an extra piece of information.

The White Lotus Sect worships Wusheng Laomu, while the Qing Court here likely worships the traditional fox, yellow weasel, hedgehog, snake, and rat—the five kinds of spirits.

Legend says that when these monsters cultivate to a certain level, they wear hats, dress in clothes, make themselves look human, and approach passersby to "ask for a tribute".

This is also a shortcut for monsters to become spirits, allowing them to directly advance their cultivation by a great leap.

But likewise, if you help others defy fate, you must bear the cost—reducing all attributes by 2 points is probably just the beginning.

"You mere beast dare to become a god? Today I'll slay you and skin you to use as a mat!"

【Refusing the yellow weasel spirit's conditions, battle begins immediately】

Yellow Weasel Spirit

Challenge Level 5+

Current Status: 70% (tribute refused, cultivation diminished)

"You have obtained a time-limited dungeon reward mission: Furious Yellow Weasel Spirit."

"Slay the Furious Yellow Weasel Spirit:"

Because the Qing Court granted it a vacant divine title, the yellow weasel spirit will demand tribute from any commoner lacking the Jia Xian mark.

No one dares to simultaneously defy the pressure of the Jia Xian and the Court, but you defied them; as a yellow weasel spirit of the Yellow Jia Xian line, it plans to devour your flesh and blood to compensate for its loss.

"If you don't want to be eaten, killing it is your only option."

Mission Info: Slay Furious Yellow Weasel Spirit (0/1)

Mission Rewards: 500 Universal Experience, 500 Zongwang Disaster Coin, Jia Xian Treasure Chest (green).

"You're courting death!"

Mu Yi's refusal and scolding instantly sent the yellow weasel spirit into a helpless rage.

"Die for me!"

The yellow weasel let out a hiss, rose and lunged at Mu Yi, apparently trying to bite his throat in one gulp.

Mu Yi, facing the charging yellow weasel spirit, directly swept out the formation blade in his hand.

"Clang!"

The charging yellow weasel was instantly swept away; Mu Yi frowned, it was so hard—his formation blade wasn't especially sharp, but after all it was a legendary weapon.

The previous bluish-gray monster, everything just opened; yet this yellow weasel's body turned out surprisingly hard.

Fortunately, the formation blade also carries a strength check, so even if it can't cut, it can still deal blunt damage.

Challenge Level 5+ means only a fully equipped level‑5 squad can challenge it.

The Abyss Demon leader I slew earlier in the Fate Simulation Universe was about this strong.

But last time he had inflated attributes and countless expertise weighing him down; this time he has none of those.

"Current Fierce Mark count: 126"

He glanced at the attribute boost accumulated from killing monsters earlier—126% increase, which is barely enough.

Now it's just a matter of seeing how it plays out in actual combat!

"Pfft!"

Seeing the yellow weasel fall, Mu Yi instantly channeled inner qi to release a blinding bolt of lightning at it.

The lightning struck the yellow weasel with the speed of a thunderclap that leaves no time to cover one's ears.

"Ah!"

The yellow weasel spirit's body shuddered violently, emitting an utterly miserable wail; the lightning dealt it a severe blow.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to still fear lightning!"

Mu Yi's eyes lit up; although legends say these demons fear heavenly thunder's power, this isn't heavenly thunder, yet he didn't expect it to still work.

Strike while it's down, take its life.

Watching arcs of electricity burst across its body, the yellow weasel spirit seemed to have fallen into a severe paralysis.

Mu Yi made a big leap, bringing the blade down onto the yellow weasel's head.

"Clang!"

Mu Yi watched the earth split by his own strike, quickly turned and guarded his surroundings—yet the opponent could still evade underground.

Although he saw nothing, Mu Yi's Killing Intent Perception told him something was approaching.

"Pfft…"

A burst of yellow smoke sprayed out, obscuring everything before Mu Yi; he completely lost his sight.

Mu Yi slowly closed his eyes; the loss of vision instead made his Killing Intent Perception, akin to a spiritual sense, more acute, giving him a more fundamental way of perceiving nearby events.

He sensed the yellow weasel's position—right beneath his feet, less than a meter away—he could clearly feel its body.

"Time Confusion!"

Time slowed down; at the moment the yellow weasel burst from the ground, Mu Yi could clearly capture its movements.

"Sharp Slash!"

The next second, Mu Yi's formation blade, accompanied by a burst of scarlet inner qi, struck the yellow weasel's abdomen in a counter‑then‑first blow.

"Rip!"

The yellow weasel's hard body was this time directly split open by the formation blade.

At any time, ignoring defense is an attribute not to be overlooked.

Relying on its hard body, the yellow weasel spirit still hoped to trade wounds, but it never imagined that this single strike would almost cut it in half.

"Ah!"

The yellow weasel spirit let out another shrill shriek; fresh red blood gushed wildly from its split abdomen, soon dyeing the surrounding land completely red.

However, the pain in his body was nothing compared to the weasel spirit's mental terror.

"Guan Di's blade! You are the divine envoy of Guan Sheng Dijun!!"

Mu Yi froze for a moment; being recognized was no big deal, anyway he had also worshipped Guan Sheng Dijun, so his origin was absolutely genuine.

But how could a mere weasel spirit recognize that his blade technique came from Guan Sheng Dijun?

This dungeon won't also involve some big shots' power struggle, will it? Don't scare me—why is a recommended level 1+ route so wild?

"Grandfather, spare my life! Grandfather, spare my life!" the weasel spirit, ignoring its wounds, desperately kowtowed to apologize.

"I know I was wrong; please, grandfather, spare my life. From now on I will wholeheartedly turn to good, doing good and accumulating virtue."

"You don't know you're wrong; you just know you're going to die!" Mu Yi shook his head.

His innate power made him highly sensitive to bloodiness, and he could sense a strong bloody aura from this weasel—it had certainly devoured many people.

Moreover, when they first met, the human skin he wore still had vitality; it must have been freshly flayed.

"You have brought death upon yourself, so your execution is without pardon!"

The formation blade, accompanied by a sound of tearing air, stabbed into the weasel's abdomen, snuffing out its last vestige of life.

"I curse you, I curse you—the immortal family's grandmother will avenge me!" the weasel spirit's eyes filled with unwillingness and resentment.

"Dungeon info: The furious weasel spirit has been slain!"

"You have completed the timed dungeon reward mission: slay the furious weasel spirit."

"Rewards are being distributed……"

Suddenly, a thick black smoke erupted from the weasel spirit's corpse, forming the shape of a weasel that lunged at Mu Yi.

Mu Yi struck out with all his might, but the black smoke was unaffected; it hit his body and vanished.

"Dungeon hint: You have been cursed by the weasel spirit, gaining the 【Blood Vengeance】 mark."

"【Blood Vengeance】: You have been marked; any Jia Xian creature that approaches you will sense this mark."
