Chapter 130: Love from the Old Father

He Tong, senior sister!

Jin Zha, Mu Zha, and Ao Chan all saluted He Tong together. As newly risen outstanding disciples of the third generation of the Chan Sect, they had come to assist the monster-hunting squad precisely to deal with the North Sea Monster Court, which had become increasingly rampant lately.

Looking at the three people before him with a troubled expression, He Tong felt that having them call him/her senior sister seemed somewhat inappropriate.

He Tong, junior sister, we can set out!

At that moment, Lu Tong flew over, looked at He Tong, and said.

Several years later, Lu Tong also emerged from seclusion, having already broken through to the late Golden Immortal stage.

However, compared to He Tong's strength as a Taiyi Golden Immortal, there was still a considerable gap, so for now he merely held the position of deputy captain of the monster-hunting squad.

Yes, three junior brothers, this is your first time participating in the operation to encircle and capture the monster tribe; from now on you must follow my commands, remember that?

He Tong specially gave these instructions to Jin Zha, Mu Zha, and Ao Chan.

After all, these three are the children of Ao Yifan; strictly speaking, they should call me 'little mother,' so He Tong naturally does not want to see them come to harm.

Senior sister, please rest assured, we'll handle it!

Jin Zha said with clasped hands.

Set out!

With a wave of He Tong's hand, the monster-hunting squad immediately set out.

Over these years, under He Tong's leadership, the strength of the monster-hunting squad has greatly increased compared to before; therefore, each deployment attracts considerable attention.

……

Big brother, I always feel something is off about the monster court summoning us this time; what exactly are we looking for?

The wild boar Zhu Zizhen asked in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, the white ape Yuan Hong beside him shook his head and said: 'It seems to be a very important treasure of the monster court; I'm not even sure what exactly it is, but everyone should be careful—over the past period the monster court has already lost many people, showing that this side of the East Sea is not safe either.'

Hehe, big brother, if we brothers really obtained the treasure, I think we'd better keep it for ourselves; after all, to the monster court we are always outsiders.

At that moment, the white snake Chang Hao let out a chilling laugh.

Chang Hao, stop talking nonsense!

Yuan Hong rebuked: 'The monster court is mighty; although it has lost its former glory, we scattered monsters dare not offend it—never underestimate the foundation of the former heavenly sovereign!'

Upon hearing this, the surrounding brothers all had their faces sink.

Indeed, although the monster court has declined, its foundation remains.

Just like this time, for the sake of seeking a certain treasure, the monster court issued a command, and monsters all over the world stirred, once again causing an upheaval.

Suddenly, the wild dog Dai Li sniffed and said: 'Big brother, someone is coming—many of them, and they are very strong!'

Upon hearing this, several brothers' faces tightened.

It's the Chan Sect monster-hunting squad—run!

Yuan Hong's eyes widened as he looked toward the distant sky, and his face drastically changed.

At that moment, several brothers dared not delay, scattering and fleeing toward the distance.

Even the North Sea Monster Court has heard of the name of the Chan Sect monster-hunting squad.

Recently, friction between the two sides has been constant, with casualties on both sides; now, upon encountering the main force of the monster-hunting squad, even if Yuan Hong and the others were confident in their own strength, they would not dare to face the monster-hunting squad of over ten thousand head-on.

A few little monsters—I'll take care of them!

Ao Chan, having cultivated the Eight Nine Mysterious Technique and opened his heavenly eye, detected Yuan Hong and the others' traces earlier than anyone else; he immediately grasped his three-pointed two-edged blade and set off in pursuit.

Seeing this, Lu Tong couldn't help but frown; after all, according to the rules, newcomers like Ao Chan should not act on their own.

He Tong, junior sister, this—

Lu Tong turned his head to look at He Tong.

No problem!

He Tong raised his hand and said: 'I've long heard that among the third-generation disciples, the disciples of Master Yuding are renowned for their talent; today we happen to witness it, and also set an example for the other disciples.'

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully and turned their gazes toward Ao Chan.

You should know, this Ao Chan is a genius praised even by the Daoist Ci Hang.

In fact, these Chan Sect disciples are also very curious about his strength.

Big brother, someone is catching up from behind—but it seems to be only one person!

The wild dog Dai Li sniffed and reminded.

Oh?

Yuan Hong turned his head and looked behind.

But just as Yuan Hong turned his head, a golden light shot swiftly toward him.

Ah—

With a miserable cry, Yuan Hong's whole body fell downward, and blood also welled up in his eyes.

Be careful, don't look at his forehead's heavenly eye!

Struggling to open his eyes, but his eyes injured by Ao Chan's heavenly eye, his vision at this moment became extremely blurry.

However, for Yuan Hong, who is versed in the Eight Nine Mysterious Technique, this injury is not enough to completely deprive him of combat ability.

Only see his ears twitch slightly; he actually determined Ao Chan's direction by listening to sound.

Immediately after, only see his right hand grasp in the air, and a water-fire staff appeared in his right hand.

Go!

Accompanied by a low shout, the water-fire staff swelled in the wind and fiercely stabbed at Ao Chan, who was pursuing from behind.

Hmph!

With a cold snort, Ao Chan had no intention of dodging; he brandished his three-pointed two-edged blade and swung it forward to meet the water-fire staff.

Clang!

A thunderous boom rang out, and Yuan Hong felt his hands go slightly numb.

What tremendous strength—just who is this kid?

After just one clash, Yuan Hong realized the opponent's strength likely exceeded his own.

However, the youth opposite him was absurdly young.

Big brother, I'll help you!

At that moment, the centipede Wu Long and the white snake Chang Hao attacked Ao Qian from left and right.

Seeing this, Ao Qian showed no trace of panic; with a flip of his right hand, a white jade lamp appeared above his head.

The candlelight of the white jade lamp flickered, and strands of soft light fell like ribbons.

The next moment, Wu Long and Chang Hao each collided with that soft light.

What frightened the two demons was that, no matter how they exerted themselves, the soft light tightly bound them, preventing any advance.

Indeed, Father didn't deceive me—this Illuminating World Lamp is far more powerful than the treasure my master gave me!

Ao Qian felt pleased, after all, this was a treasure his father had given him.

Although, as Ao Qian grew older, he realized his father wasn't as reliable as he had imagined.

At least, the fact that his father occasionally finds him a concubine leaves Ao Qian utterly baffled.

After all, where could women find joy comparable to cultivation?

But Ao Qian knows his father still deeply loves his mother and him.

Otherwise, upon hearing that he was to set out on a demon hunt, his father wouldn't have personally delivered this supreme treasure.

Having affirmed his father's love in his heart, Ao Qian pointed a finger.

Immediately, the Illuminating World Lamp's candle flame surged, instantly becoming intense; its blinding light enveloped Wu Long and Chang Hao in an instant.

The next moment, the two demons' expressions grew dazed, as if they had forgotten they were in the midst of battle.

This is another divine effect of the Illuminating World Lamp: it can forcibly make one's mind tranquil and free from worldly strife!
