"Sister! I'm coming too!" Long Hu Hu opened her mouth and spewed out golden-red fox fire. She had already noticed that her fox fire carried purifying power and could restrain the sticky liquid. She had been fighting with her hands tied earlier to protect her sister. Now, she wanted to teach this ugly bird a lesson!
The fox fire melted a gap in the sticky liquid barrier upon contact, and together with the sword energy, it dispersed the Ghost Car's barrier. One of the Ghost Car's heads instantly froze. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't see a thin sword mark on its neck.
"Haha, my demonic bird is invulnerable to blades and spears. Your sword energy, Ju Yin, cannot harm it." Dong Fang Tai Yi, even though he was at a disadvantage facing the attacks of the Chao Tian Sect's ancestor and City Lord Bi, laughed wildly upon seeing this scene!
Hoo hoo... Nine miserable screams echoed through the sky. Before Dong Fang Tai Yi's laughter died down, one of the Ghost Car's heads crashed down! The Ghost Car roared in pain and its wings flapped, stirring up fierce winds that caused sand and stones to fly, filling the air with dust that obscured everyone's vision.
Ju Yin unleashed his divine sense and, without pause, sent out several more sword energies. However, the Ghost Car, having suffered a great loss, immediately devoured the head that was severed. Its eight heads spewed out more sticky liquid, wrapping themselves into a cocoon. The sword energies struck the cocoon formed by the black sticky liquid, sinking into it like a cow in mud, utterly ineffective.
Ju Yin's brows furrowed. The Ghost Car's defense was surprisingly strong.
Dong Fang Tai Yi was startled to see one of the demonic bird's heads severed, revealing an opening. He was struck by the Chao Tian ancestor's horsetail whisk, and Bi Fang immediately seized the opportunity to capture him, sealing his spiritual power.
At this time, Chao Yang Zi, Chao Xiang Zi, Feng Chu, and others had completed the formation. The formation consumed a large amount of spiritual materials. A sky-filling, five-element net formation shot up into the sky, with brilliant golden talismans forming a net that enveloped the giant black cocoon!
"Your Excellency, this formation can only trap it for three days," Chao Xiang Zi flew to Ju Yin and said. He had just witnessed the Ghost Car, despite losing a head, regenerating it due to its repair capabilities, and its subsequent bird head possessing even greater demonic power.
"It's fine. We will find a way to deal with it within these three days." Ju Yin had refrained from using the demon-exorcising spell, recalling that the Ghost Car's original form was a nine-headed bird, a divine bird that guided souls in the underworld. It was merely being nurtured by forbidden arts, and its divine nature had vanished. Killing it seemed too much. But now that it had become demonic and its ferocity could not be contained, there was no need to show mercy.
"You're dreaming! My demonic bird is not something you can kill! Hahaha! You sever one head, it devours it, and the newly grown bird head possesses even greater demonic power!" Dong Fang Tai Yi, despite being restrained by Bi Fang, came before Ju Yin.
At this moment, they all landed on a platform on a cliff. Dong Fang Tai Yi was thrown onto the platform. Chao Xiang Zi's mood was complicated, still dwelling on the moment this person claimed to be his father.
"Yang'er, Xiang'er, are you truly so heartless towards me as your father?"
Hmph, Feng Chu sneered.
"How audacious! Your so-called father stabbed someone without hesitation, and now you pretend to be a loving father?"
"Silence, Dong Fang, do not speak nonsense!" The Chao Tian Sect's ancestor, seeing the expressions of the Chao Yang Zi brothers, immediately shouted at Dong Fang Tai Yi.
"Hahaha! If the father wants the son to die, how can the son disobey?" Dong Fang Tai Yi's expression was wicked, completely disregarding their accusations.
"Dong Fang, are you truly their father?" Sect Leader Chao's voice came from behind Dong Fang Tai Yi. He had been in the spatial realm and had just encountered the Dragon God. Before he could calm his shock, hearing Dong Fang's boasts, he couldn't help but ask the Dragon God to release him. The Dragon God in the spatial realm had opened a visual window to observe the battle, and he was fully aware of everything happening outside.
"Oh, who do I see? Sect Leader Chao gracing us with his presence, it is truly a loss of etiquette not to greet you properly!" Dong Fang Tai Yi, despite being restrained, struggled to stand upon seeing Sect Leader Chao, unwilling to lose his demeanor.
"Dong Fang, Yang'er and Xiang'er are my Chao family's bloodline, not someone you, a lost soul from who knows where, can arbitrarily claim." Sect Leader Chao was not intimidated by him at all, exuding the aura of a sect leader.
"Hahaha, well said. Your twin brother's soul was truly delicious. This body also has extremely high innate talent, so it was not in vain that I chose him back then." Dong Fang Tai Yi admitted it without any hesitation.
Slap! Dong Fang Tai Yi was flung to the ground by a sweep of the Chao Tian Sect's ancestor's sleeve! He had been in seclusion for ten thousand years, watching his descendants ascend countless times, but at this moment, he was still enraged.
Bao'er's parents had met with an accident. The twin sons were sent to him as soon as they were born. Yet, under his very nose, another Xuan-grandson had been possessed. He could not escape his responsibility!
Blood seeped from the corner of Dong Fang Tai Yi's mouth; he was clearly injured.
"Ancestor, please do not be angry. I am, however, curious. When did you discover me and, moreover, deprive me of my inheritance?"
Dong Fang Tai Yi's expression was sinister as he sneered. Although he was not from this world and was a powerful cultivator who dominated one side in the upper realm, possessing an infant was akin to being trapped within that body. Involuntarily, his mindset had regressed to that of an infant. Seeing his beloved ancestor suddenly turn cold and indifferent towards him, while still doting on Sect Leader Chao, his heart ached uncontrollably.
"It seems you are still unwilling! Very well, let me die with understanding!" The Chao Tian ancestor's expression calmed down. Everything was predetermined. He had foreseen the fate of the twin sons earlier, knowing that the other was destined for an early demise.
"Bao'er, do you remember when you were ten years old and you two trespassed into the Wu Gou Cave behind the mountain?" The Chao ancestor turned and asked Sect Leader Chao.
"Ancestor, I remember."
Dong Fang Tai Yi also looked thoughtful. That's right, it was that time he went to the stone cave with his elder brother. Upon their return, they were punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall. He also remembered that a divine tablet of an ancestor had inexplicably fallen.
"That Wu Gou Cave is actually the place to verify the bloodline of my Chao family. If it is of my Chao family bloodline, the soul will be pure and immaculate, emitting golden light. If not, it will be..." The Chao ancestor glanced at Dong Fang Tai Yi subtly.
"Green light? Haha, then how did you know it was me and not my elder brother? We entered at the same time." Dong Fang Tai Yi sneered, his expression unreadable!
"That is because I entered again later. After punishing me to kneel, the ancestor took me in again!" Sect Leader Chao suddenly said.
Sect Leader Chao then looked at Chao Yang Zi and Chao Xiang Zi and continued, "When Yang'er and Xiang'er were born that year, the ancestor took them into the Wu Gou Cave. Their divine souls carry the characteristics of the Chao family bloodline, and they are indeed of my Chao family bloodline..."
"Yes, it is Bao'er's bloodline!" The Chao ancestor chimed in. This was undoubtedly the final word.
"Impossible!" Although Dong Fang Tai Yi knew the truth, a sliver of hope still lingered in his heart. They were his sons. After all, at that time, his elder brother had only spent one night with Zhu Zhi Jing, but he had spent over a month with her.
"Pah! Shamelessly claiming other people's children, how shameless!" Feng Chu said with sharp tongue, unable to hold back.
Even Bi Fang was shocked. What a revelation! The information he had received back then also led him to believe that the two sect sons of the Chao Tian Sect were Dong Fang Tai Yi's offspring. He had kept it hidden, not daring to mention it to the old fellow Chao, the ancestor. He had even favored Chao Tian Ci as the heir for a time. After all, Madam Zhu was too troublesome, and Dong Fang Tai Yi's entry into Tian Chen was not hidden from him. But at that time, he was just curious how Dong Fang Tai Yi got involved with Madam Zhu when he was expelled from the Chao Tian Sect. Once he learned the inside story, he wished he could gouge out his own eyes and just pretend he knew nothing.
