Chapter 37: Child-Mother Yin-Yang Weird

~14 min read 2,741 words

If it were a normal beast, there would still be a chance to fight, but the membrane on the monster behind him was very strange, and no matter what, it couldn't be killed.

Everything seemed to be in vain.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lou Qinghe decisively ran toward the distance.

But the next instant, a breath came from both sides of his neck, and a heavy panting sound came from behind.

The monster was in hot pursuit, not wanting to let him go.

Lou Qinghe took a Huiqi Pill, then used the Thousand Mile Evasion Technique to rush forward.

Whoosh whoosh!

After using the Thousand Mile Evasion Technique, his speed soared, and in the blink of an eye, he had traveled dozens of yards.

The monster clearly couldn't catch up anymore.

Afterward, Lou Qinghe looked back and found the monster rushing into a shantytown.

Soon, a wail surged up and then slowly disappeared.

This monster was stronger than all the Tianling Gang cultivators combined; it was no exaggeration to say that it could easily destroy the entire Qingyun Street, and even Longmen Market.

"Whew......"

Lou Qinghe let out a turbid breath and found that he had actually returned to his own door.

Now the surroundings of Qingyun Street were completely in chaos, that fragile woman....... he didn't dare to imagine it anymore.

Immediately, his heart fell to the bottom.

Suddenly, a sound came from inside the house.

"Who!?"

Lou Qinghe shouted in a low voice, his palm slowly reaching toward the Storage Bag.

"Is, is that Fellow Daoist Shengkui?"

A fragile, stuttering voice came from inside the door.

"It's me!"

Hearing this voice, Lou Qinghe was overjoyed and walked in quickly.

Pei Siyu was hiding behind a wall, her expression somewhat panicked, and seeing Lou Qinghe walk in, a light appeared in her eyes.

Lou Qinghe asked, "Where did you go?"

Pei Siyu lowered her head and said aggrievedly, "I, I couldn't find you......"

Lou Qinghe looked around, "Let's not talk about it, it's not safe here anymore, let's go quickly."

"Hmm."

Pei Siyu nodded, "Then I'll go pack some Spirit Rice and food."

The two tidied up a bit, took some Spirit Rice, Beast Meat, and robes, and quickly left the courtyard.

Lou Qinghe turned to look at this dilapidated little courtyard; this was the place where he had lived for two years.

Every blade of grass, every tree, every tile was so familiar.

But at this moment, he had no time for sentimentality.

He didn't know where that monster was now.

Carrying their luggage and bundles, the two left Qingyun Street after coming out of the door.

Inside Qingyun Street, flames soared into the sky, and shrill screams were endless.

The loose cultivators who had originally planned to stay at home were gradually discovered by the monster.

Besides this, there were many loose cultivators who wanted to seek wealth in danger fighting in Qingyun Street, not noticing the monster descending from the sky.

And very soon, they would be killed by that monster.

The scene on Qingyun Street was just a microcosm; now the entire outskirts of the city were in such a tragic state.

"Let's go."

Lou Qinghe grabbed Pei Siyu's hand.

Pei Siyu felt the warmth and sense of security transmitted from his big hand and asked softly, "Where are we going?"

Lou Qinghe said softly, "To the Outer City!"

Right now, the entire outskirts were in chaos, and only Huangshi City was safe.

"Good!"

Pei Siyu bit her lip and nodded.

Huangshi Sect.

Ancient trees towered, rocks stood tall, birds chirped, and spirit beasts jumped happily between branches. Deep forest paths led to ancient temples in the forest; in the distance, clouds and mist swirled, appearing and disappearing like a fairyland on earth.

The Huangshi Sect sat in the entire Huangshi Safety Zone, and the mountain gate was built on the main peak of the Inner City, which was also the place closest to the Third-Grade Spirit Vein, with extremely dense Spirit Qi.

In a quiet side hall, a female cultivator wearing a goose-yellow palace dress, with a delicate and elegant appearance, looked through the clouds and smoke at the giant egg that kept bulging, her brows locked tight.

This person was Zhu Zi, one of the thirty-six great elders of the Huangshi Sect.

To become an elder of the Huangshi Sect, the simplest standard requirement was to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage; clearly, this female cultivator was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Just then, an old man with white hair walked in hurriedly and said, "Elder Zhu, the Outer City gate has been closed."

Zhu Zi closed her eyes gently, and after a long time, she said, "Chief Xu, you have worked hard this time."

Chief Xu, the current head of the Xu Family, Xu You.

The old man hesitated for a moment, then still said, "Elder Zhu, what is the origin of this Strange Object? And what is its level?"

Zhu Zi said gloomily, "The origin of this Strange Object is unknown, and its level is also ominous, but its strength is no weaker than the Strange Object that destroyed the Taiyi Sect six years ago."

"What!?"

Hearing this, Xu You showed a look of astonishment.

The Strange Object that destroyed the Taiyi Sect, the Tree Demon, was still rooted in Taiyi Mountain to this day, its roots spreading for more than three hundred miles, with no grass growing around it, and the evil Qi was dense to the extreme.

Everyone knew that the Tree Demon was absorbing the Spirit Vein left by the Taiyi Sect, and once the Tree Demon absorbed the Taiyi Sect's Spirit Vein, it would surely set off a new disaster.

This was a common threat to both the Huangshi Safety Zone and the Beiming Safety Zone.

But right now, the Tree Demon was eyeing them covetously, ready to strike, and another new Strange Object had come.

For the Huangshi Safety Zone, this was undoubtedly a huge catastrophe.

Zhu Zi looked at the giant egg and said, "This Strange Object is the Child-Mother Yin-Yang Weird; the giant egg is the mother, and all other sub-eggs released are controlled by the mother egg. If the mother egg dies, all sub-eggs will be destroyed."

"This Strange Object has a meridian deeply connected to the ground, absorbing the Earth Heart Qi, and it is still in the incubation stage. Once incubation is successful, that will be the real disaster."

Xu You took a deep breath, "Then why not take advantage of the incubation now and......"

Zhu Zi shook her head and said, "The Sect Master and the six great peak masters have all gone; seven Golden Core ancestors attacked together, but they couldn't destroy this giant egg and instead suffered injuries."

Xu You opened his mouth, and a cloud of gloom covered his heart.

Seven Golden Core ancestors attacked, but they couldn't kill this Strange Object.

This Strange Object was simply too terrifying.

Zhu Zi put her hands behind her back and said, "Right now, this Child-Mother Yin-Yang Weird might not hatch in the short term; we can only study its weaknesses and eradicate it completely."

"We must now compete for time with this Child-Mother Yin-Yang Weird."

"As for the loose cultivators in the Outer City, most have already been invaded by evil Qi; they are no longer safe, and letting them into the city might cause panic."

"So, we can only abandon them."

After saying this, Zhu Zi walked toward the back hall.

Xu You didn't speak, just looked back at the outskirts of the city under the shroud of the Child-Mother Yin-Yang egg.

That place was full of scars and a complete disaster.

He knew that before long, it would become a new forbidden zone.

As for those bottom-tier loose cultivators, they would all be buried under that dark land.

But who would care?

Outside Heisong Market, four hundred miles away.

In a hidden canyon, lush, strange towering trees grew around.

White smoke drifted all around, like a dream, appearing and disappearing; this was a large-scale illusion array.

Passing through the illusion array, one could see a large group of ancient buildings.

In the center was a huge palace, with side halls and rooms on both sides, and streets and shops on the outskirts.

In one of the rooms.

Inside, tables, chairs, and benches were all complete, and on the bed sat an old man in black robes with white hair.

This person was Lou Qinghe, who was following the Baigu Sect.

At this moment, he was sorting out the information about himself from the mouths of others, "My name is Sun Bu'er, Qi Refining Level 5 cultivation, a bottom-tier member of the Baigu Sect, but my niece's identity is somewhat special......"

This was the altar of the Baigu Sect, and outside was a large illusion array.

The outskirts of the illusion array were the outskirts of the forbidden zone, filled with evil Qi.

After half a day of observation, Lou Qinghe gave up on escaping from the altar.

Not to mention that the illusion array was difficult to break, even if he passed through the illusion array and escaped the altar, it would be very difficult to walk out of the forbidden zone outskirts.

The Baigu Sect's class system was extremely strict, whether it was service, residence, or resource allocation......

The most eye-catching thing was the robes worn by the Baigu Sect members, in order: black, white, purple, yellow.

Black robes were bottom-tier members, white robes were small leaders, purple robes were considered middle-tier in the Baigu Sect, and yellow robes were basically hard to see; according to several Baigu Sect members, they had been here for two years and hadn't seen a single yellow robe.

The most common ones seen were just purple robes.

Moreover, there seemed to be more than one or two such altars of the Baigu Sect on the outskirts of the city.

What horrified Lou Qinghe the most was the spells cultivated by the Baigu Sect members.

The mental method was the Life Soul Art, which accepted any Qi without refusal.

Spirit Qi and evil Qi could both be circulated, and then fed back.

This greatly increased the risk of alienation.

So Baigu Sect members would also cultivate a Heart Nourishing Art.

Extracting one's own soul to achieve a state of nothingness could make the heart incomparably calm and suppress evil Qi for a short time.

The spells cultivated by the Baigu Sect were also incomparably evil and shocking.

One of them, the Divine Eye Method, required gouging out one's own eyes and cultivating with two human eyes soaked in blood in the mouth; after eighty-one days, different double pupils would be born.

And if one wanted to advance further, one had to keep swallowing eyes.

There was also the Five Viscera Evil Qi Method, where practitioners needed to eat fresh viscera every day and, with the help of five-element heavenly treasures, guide the Qi into them, pointing directly to the five viscera giving birth to inspiration and raising a new consciousness.

Then a kind of Five Viscera Evil Qi would appear.

This Five Viscera Evil Qi benefited from the five elements and came from the strange, with incomparably powerful power; when facing an enemy, spitting out a mouthful had astonishing lethality.

Within the Baigu Sect, many secret methods were strange and powerful, and this was just the tip of the iceberg.

The only one that was still considered normal was the Thirteen Blood-Breaking Blades, which was also the basic spell cultivated by Baigu Sect members.

Raising a small ghost, letting the small ghost hold a treasure blade every day, nourishing it with Yin Qi, and then the treasure blade had to be watered with fresh blood every day.

When the blade came out, it was covered in cold Yin Qi and blood filth, and if combined with murderous intent.

It could also be considered a decent spell.

But compared to other powerful, strange spells, the Thirteen Blood-Breaking Blades were not outstanding, so almost no one cultivated them.

【Thirteen Blood-Breaking Blades LV2 (5/100)】

After returning to the Baigu Sect altar, Lou Qinghe didn't dare to go out, fearing he would reveal a flaw, so he kept cultivating in the room and soon raised the Thirteen Blood-Breaking Blades to LV2.

"Knock knock!"

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.

A fawning voice came from outside, "Sun Lao, a few new female cultivators came to the Mingfeng Pavilion tonight, and two of them are disciples of the Miaohuan Sect......"

Lou Qinghe said faintly, "No, this old man is tired."

"Good, then sorry to bother you."

The person outside didn't say anything more and left straight away.

This altar was not small, and besides the rooms, there were markets, the most praiseworthy of which were the places for pleasure-seeking.

Not only were there Baigu Sect members themselves for cultivation, but there were also many loose cultivators who had been captured.......

"Thump! Thump!"

Before long, a rough knock on the door sounded again.

"Didn't I say it already, I'm not going."

Lou Qinghe raised an eyebrow.

The next instant, the door was violently pushed open.

He saw a young girl wearing white robes, with delicate features, walk in.

The girl's appearance was beautiful, but her face was cold as frost, a look of 'no strangers allowed'.

"Hmph!"

The girl looked at Lou Qinghe sitting on the bed and snorted coldly.

"Who is she?"

Seeing this, Lou Qinghe was full of question marks; who was this girl?

But he remained calm on the surface, because being able to wear white robes meant this girl was a small leader of the Baigu Sect, and her cultivation should be at the Late Stage of Qi Refining.

"Sun Bu'er"

The girl looked coldly at Lou Qinghe, "I said, let you have less to do with Zheng Jun and the others, but you insisted on going out with them to seek death. Is it that you're tired of living?"

Zheng Jun was the leader who brought Lou Qinghe and his gang back.

Lou Qinghe didn't know who the girl in front of him was, nor did he know what tone to use, so he could only remain silent.

Seeing Lou Qinghe not speaking, the girl's face turned even colder, and she stepped directly on Lou Qinghe's face, "If it weren't for you being my only relative, I would have killed you long ago."

Damn!

Lou Qinghe lay on the bed, looking at the fair, slender jade leg and the cold, frosty face, and the fire in his heart gradually disappeared.

Anyway, she was stepping on Sun Bu'er, not Lou Qinghe.

"You useless dog thing!"

The girl looked down from above, coldly, "Still at Qi Refining Level 5 to this day, it's really a waste of my Sun family bloodline."

Saying this, the girl retracted her foot and tidied her robes.

Lou Qinghe tidied his clothes; it seemed this girl was a close relative of 'himself'.

He just didn't know what her name was.

The girl tidied her robes, "The Strange Object has erupted, and Altar Master Ouyang will also return from the forbidden zone. At this time, we must be even more careful. Once the location of the altar is exposed........"

Saying this, her beautiful, cold eyes looked at Lou Qinghe.

Lou Qinghe lowered his head and said, "I know what to do."

Altar Master Ouyang, it seemed, was a formidable figure in the Baigu Sect.

Lou Qinghe, however, secretly shuddered; speaking of the name Ouyang, he couldn't help but think of the demoness Ouyang Qing of the Tianyi Sect, who was his master's good friend.

This woman had a heart of a snake and scorpion, was vicious, and fickle; Lou Qinghe had almost died in her hands.

To this day, it was still his nightmare.

"At that time, you and I will personally welcome Altar Master Ouyang."

The girl nodded slightly, then turned and walked out the door.

"Whew!"

Seeing the girl leave, Lou Qinghe breathed a slight sigh of relief in his heart.

As long as he revealed a single flaw, this clone might be completely finished here.

"Wait! When the time comes to welcome that Altar Master Ouyang, will that Altar Master see through the flaw......"

Soon, Lou Qinghe came back to his senses, and a drop of cold sweat flowed down from his forehead. ===== CHAPTER 38 =====
