Inside the mountain cave, light shimmered.

It was the glow of luminous pearls, illuminating the cave like daylight. Three days had passed since they arrived at Su Ziyue's cave on Prayer Moon Mountain.

During these three days, Chen Yuan had used every trick in the book to suppress the backlash from Su Ziyue's cultivation technique, allowing her to seize this opportunity to enhance her cultivation.

After all, this was a rare opportunity.

Dressed neatly, the two sat cross-legged on the cold jade bed, breathing deeply in silence. The entire cave was still and quiet. In helping Su Ziyue, Chen Yuan had also benefited.

His previously surging cultivation had completely stabilized.

This saved him almost months of effort, which could be considered a small stroke of luck.

Chen Yuan was the first to open his eyes, a glint of light shooting from his pupils. A faint smile played on his lips as he gazed at the graceful figure of Su Ziyue, a look of joy on his face.

Finally, he had completed one of his past desires.

And he had done so in spades.

He vividly remembered what had happened that night. Under the surge of desire, Su Ziyue had experienced a range of emotions in rapid succession: joy, anger, sorrow, grief...

It gave Chen Yuan a very mystical experience.

It felt like he wasn't helping one person, but several.

His gaze fell on Su Ziyue, who quickly sensed it, but was too embarrassed to open her eyes. Her fists clenched slightly beneath her sleeves.

Too... terrifying!

"Miss Su, how are you feeling?"

Chen Yuan knew Su Ziyue was already awake but, out of modesty, hadn't opened her eyes. He gently called out her name. sutan.net

Her eyelashes fluttered. Su Ziyue pretended to have just woken up, glanced at Chen Yuan, then calmly averted her gaze and said:

"It's been suppressed for now, but it's not enough..."

She would need at least ten more days of cultivation to fully control the bloodline within her, and then, taking advantage of the fire of desire, she could begin refining her spirit and overcome the Fire Tribulation.

"No matter, I have plenty of time. I will certainly help Miss Su through this ordeal!" Chen Yuan immediately declared righteously.

Su Ziyue nodded slightly:

"Thank you."

"We are fellow cultivators, why speak of thanks? However, if Miss Su truly wishes to express her gratitude, I do have a request."

"Hmm?"

"The next time I help you suppress the backlash, I would like to..."

"You would like to what?"

Seeing Chen Yuan's hesitant expression, Su Ziyue frowned.

Chen Yuan cleared his throat, recalling the previous scene, especially the white fox tail behind Su Ziyue, which filled him with longing. He lowered his voice and said:

"The next time, I want to take a shortcut."

"A shortcut? What kind of shortcut?"

Su Ziyue didn't understand the meaning.

"Well..." Chen Yuan pondered for a moment:

"Back door entry!"

......

......

At the foot of Prayer Moon Mountain, inside the Su family mansion.

Bai Niansheng, dressed in a scholar's green robe, stood with one hand behind his back, while the other held a strange treasure that resembled a conch shell. His expression was grave.

Soon, the Su family patriarch, with his white hair and beard and a beast-headed cane, emerged from the void, cupping his fist:

"Elder Bai."

"Hmm."

"Elder Bai sent a message for me to come. Is something wrong?" The Su family patriarch was puzzled. He had already begun implementing the things Bai Niansheng had instructed him to do. Logically, there shouldn't be anything else.

"News has come from the clan that requires me to do something. I can't stay on Prayer Moon Mountain any longer." Bai Niansheng turned around and looked at the Su family patriarch.

"I wish Elder Bai great success." The Su family patriarch quickly bowed.

"How has that little girl from the Su family considered it? This time, I want to send her back to the clan first." Among the messages Bai Niansheng received was an order from the Divine Child.

Although the Divine Child's current cultivation was far from being able to command him, he was, after all, the future leader of the Fox Clan, one of the most powerful figures in the Southern Border.

Even though his cultivation was currently much lower than his, he still had to give him face.

The other party didn't say much, but Bai Niansheng could sense that Su Ziyue seemed to be of great use to the Divine Child, which was why he had summoned the Su family patriarch.

"This..." The Su family patriarch was stunned, momentarily speechless.

"What? She's unwilling?"

Bai Niansheng frowned, displeased. A powerful aura began to rise from his body.

"Elder Bai, please calm down. You said half a month, but only ten days have passed. I haven't even asked Ziyue for her opinion yet."

"I said a maximum of half a month. What, did you really expect this Elder to wait in the Su family for half a month just to let her consider it?"

Bai Niansheng snorted coldly.

He respected the Divine Child because he was almost certainly the next clan leader, but Su Ziyue, while talented, wasn't a true Nine-Tailed Sky Fox after all.

She might not even become the Queen. How could he, a Great Sage of the Fox Clan, wait here for her?

"No, no..." Seeing Bai Niansheng's anger, the Su family patriarch quickly shook his head, saying:

"Please calm your thunderous rage, Elder Bai. I will immediately go and find Ziyue and ask her how she's considering things."

"There's no need. You'll take me with you." Bai Niansheng made a decision, not giving the Su family patriarch a chance to object.

After hesitating for a few breaths, the Su family patriarch could only obey and led Bai Niansheng up Prayer Moon Mountain towards Su Ziyue's cave.

At this time, Chen Yuan and Su Ziyue's cultivation had just come to an end. They were meditating and recovering their strength. Su Ziyue was almost done refining the Sky Fox bloodline.

The Fire Tribulation was coming soon. During these nearly ten days of cultivation, Chen Yuan had helped with everything he should have, and everything he shouldn't have. He had even taken a few shortcuts.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, frowned. He sensed an undisguised aura outside. His eyes narrowed instantly. Two auras were rapidly approaching.

One was at the Spirit Refinement stage, probably the Su family patriarch, but the other was something like a Yang God True Monarch, but also somewhat different.

He quickly informed Su Ziyue.

"It's the elder of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox Clan!"

"Hmm?"

"His name is Bai Niansheng, a Demon Saint. He's here now, probably because he's getting impatient..." Then, Su Ziyue told Chen Yuan everything the Su family patriarch had said before.

A hint of cold killing intent flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

Trying to snatch his woman?

Courting death! "The only thing we can do now is ask Senior Moro to drive him away, and then you take me away from the Su family." Su Ziyue said.

This was what she had planned all along.

Although the Su family had been kind to her, that didn't mean she would obey the patriarch's suggestion. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked Chen Yuan to come to Nanping Prefecture.

"Can you move now?"

Chen Yuan knew that the reason Su Ziyue insisted on him coming, rather than sneaking out, was because the Su family kept a close watch on her, and also because her backlash was too severe. Once she left the cave, it would completely erupt.

"These past few days of cultivation have suppressed it pretty well. Although I can't fight for now, leaving is no problem. It's a pity. If I had a few more days, I could have overcome the Fire Tribulation..."

Su Ziyue shook her head, regretting it.

"Are you willing to leave the Su family?"

"There's nothing to be reluctant about. The Su family raised me, but I've repaid them a lot in these decades. I've already repaid that debt.

Although I wouldn't completely sever ties, it's impossible for me to give up everything for the Su family." Su Ziyue said solemnly.

"It doesn't matter. With me here, nothing will happen."

Chen Yuan reached out and took Su Ziyue's fair hand, saying with great confidence.

"That's natural. Senior Moro is a sixth-realm immortal. Dealing with a Demon Saint is no problem." Su Ziyue rolled her eyes at Chen Yuan.

"Senior Moro has completely fallen into silence and won't wake up in a short time. If we forcibly awaken him, not only will the previous efforts be wasted, but it will also cause more damage."

Chen Yuan said.

Hearing this, Su Ziyue, who had been calm, suddenly changed her expression and stared at Chen Yuan:

"You... what did you say?"

"We can't count on Senior Moro."

"Then you..." Su Ziyue's face was a little unsightly. The reason she dared to let Chen Yuan come to Southern Prefecture, even knowing that there was a Demon Saint here, was because she was relying on Senior Moro.

But now, Chen Yuan was saying that Senior Moro couldn't help at all.

What could they do?

After a few moments of silence, Su Ziyue took a deep breath and said:

"Since Senior Moro can't help, we can only delay. You immediately contact Jiang He and the Evil Ghost Daoist through the Heavenly Book and ask them to come and help."

Jiang He had the combat power of a True Monarch, and his injuries had recovered. Yang Huatian's strength was also extraordinary. With Chen Yuan, they could definitely stop the Demon Saint.

Now, this was the only option.

Chen Yuan chuckled and slowly shook his head, just about to say something.

Suddenly, the two auras outside had reached the cave entrance. The Su family patriarch bowed:

"Elder Bai, Ziyue is inside cultivating."

Bai Niansheng nodded and said calmly:

"Tell her."

"Yes..." The Su family patriarch sighed softly and said to the cave:

"Ziyue..."

"Why is the patriarch here?"

Su Ziyue forced herself to remain calm and gave Chen Yuan a look, telling him not to speak for now and to suppress his aura. With the cave blocking them, as long as the Demon Saint didn't invade with his divine sense, he wouldn't discover his presence.

"You said you wanted to think it over carefully. Ten days have passed, and you should have made up your mind. Elder Bai has other things to do and can't wait too long. Today, he will escort you back to the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox Clan's territory." Although the Su family patriarch was also reluctant to let Su Ziyue go, after all, he had watched her grow up, but... when you're under someone else's roof, you have to lower your head. He could only say it as euphemistically as possible so that Su Ziyue wouldn't have a resistant attitude.

"Patriarch, Ziyue is at the most critical moment and can't leave seclusion. Can you give me a few more days? Then, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

As long as she could stall until Jiang He and Yang Huatian arrived, their safety could be guaranteed. Otherwise, it would be hard to say.

Chen Yuan's strength was indeed very strong. He had even killed more than one Spirit Refinement cultivator before, but at most, he was only at the peak of the Spirit Refinement stage. His strength was too far apart from that of a Yang God True Monarch.

If they fought rashly, they would only be courting death.

As for Senior Moro, it was best not to disturb him if possible. Anyway, there was still hope of getting through this. It wouldn't be too late to wake him up when they were truly in a life-or-death situation.

The Su family patriarch hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Bai Niansheng and said softly:

"Elder Bai, Ziyue has already agreed, but she really can't leave seclusion now. Why don't you take care of your own business first and take Ziyue back to the Southern Border after you're done?"

Bai Niansheng chuckled and ignored the Su family patriarch. He said to the cave in front of him:

"Su Ziyue, that sacred object has enhanced your bloodline power, but it's been quite a while since then. Even if you haven't fully refined it, it should be almost done.

Don't waste any time. You can cultivate on the way. The Divine Child has been waiting for a long time and is looking forward to seeing you back in the clan."

"Senior Bai, Ziyue really can't leave seclusion. I hope you can give me a few more days." Su Ziyue's eyes were slightly cold, but she disguised her voice.

"There's no need to mention this matter again. My patience is limited." Bai Niansheng had no interest in bargaining. He had already waited for a long time and couldn't continue to wait.

"This..."

"I'll give you half an hour to gather your strength and pack your things. After half an hour, I'll take you away from Prayer Moon Mountain." After saying that, he didn't say anything else.

However, his tone had already settled the matter.

Even the Su family patriarch beside him didn't dare to interrupt, only sighing softly.

Su Ziyue took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said:

"Okay."

After answering quickly, Su Ziyue looked at Chen Yuan, who was meditating, and said softly:

"That old thing outside has already said it this way. If I don't go, he'll probably force his way in. You immediately ask a few Dao Lords to rush here. I'll try to delay as much time as possible on the way. Don't worry... I'll be fine."

Su Ziyue seemed to be afraid that Chen Yuan wouldn't be able to suppress the anger in his heart, so she added that last sentence, hoping that Chen Yuan wouldn't be impulsive. They weren't without a chance.

Chen Yuan didn't open his eyes, but uttered a sentence:

"With me here, there's no need to worry. Half an hour... is enough!"

After saying that, he didn't say anything else, but focused on recovering his strength as quickly as possible.

During the previous ten days of helping Su Ziyue suppress the backlash and the fire of desire, he had not only lost ink, but also lost a lot of strength. Although he could go out directly now,

But, since the people outside had given him half an hour, why not take advantage of it? Seeing Chen Yuan close his eyes after saying that, Su Ziyue was a little dumbfounded. She didn't quite understand Chen Yuan's meaning. What did he want to do?

From his meaning, it seemed like he wanted to exchange blows with the Fox Clan's Demon Saint outside.

But...

How was that possible!

Chen Yuan only had the cultivation of Spirit Refinement. Where did he get the confidence to fight a Great Saint?

But if he was relying on Senior Moro, it didn't seem very likely. After all, it wouldn't take half an hour to rest.

Su Ziyue couldn't figure it out. Chen Yuan didn't pay attention to her when she spoke.

Seeing this situation, Su Ziyue let out a long breath. She still took out the treasure, the Heavenly Book, and began to connect with Jiang He and Yang Huatian, transmitting a message:

"I, Su Ziyue, am in danger. Come quickly to Nanping Prefecture, Southern Prefecture!"

Her movements were very fast, so fast that Chen Yuan didn't even have time to persuade her. Seeing her like this, Chen Yuan knew that even if he told her that he had the strength to deal with a True Monarch expert, she wouldn't believe him.

So he didn't bother.

After transmitting the message, Su Ziyue didn't stop. Instead, she immediately recovered her state. She could see that Chen Yuan wouldn't be able to sit idly by. In that case, she could only help him as much as possible.

Time passed by, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

Bai Niansheng outside was already getting a little impatient. He said coldly:

"Su Ziyue, it's time to set off!"

"Hehe... it's time to set off!"

The one who answered him from inside the cave was a faint male voice. Bai Niansheng and the Su family patriarch's expressions changed instantly. There was actually a man inside!

Had the Divine Child been taken advantage of?

That thought flashed through Bai Niansheng's mind in an instant, followed by shock and anger.

"Elder Bai, please calm down."

The Su family patriarch said quickly.

"Get lost!" Bai Niansheng's aura surged, dominating the entire Prayer Moon Mountain. The dark clouds in the void quickly gathered. He said coldly:

"Who are you, you thief? Hurry up and come out to die!"

Inside the cave.

Chen Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the cold jade bed, had already opened his eyes. He looked at Su Ziyue, who was worried, gently stroked her hair, and said calmly:

"I've killed Barbarian Gods, I've destroyed Bodhisattvas, I've killed True Monarchs. Now... I'm just missing a Demon Saint."

"Chen Yuan, you..."

Su Ziyue was stunned.

"My cultivation suddenly increased, my strength soared. I felt that I could exchange blows with a True Monarch expert. It's a pity that my first opponent is an old fox. But... it doesn't matter.

I'll just skin the fox and make you a robe."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuan's powerful aura quickly rose. On the back of his hands, dark black scales gradually grew out from under his skin.

His eyes turned red, and two black demon horns, radiating a faint light, grew out of the top of his head.

In an instant, Chen Yuan had undergone a huge transformation. His clothes were torn, and his body was covered in pitch-black scales, even his face.

Apart from being able to tell that he was humanoid, there was no way to tell if he was a human.

Such a big change made Su Ziyue's open mouth freeze. After a moment of stunned silence, she asked hesitantly:

"You... you don't have demon blood in you, do you?"

Chen Yuan chuckled. He did look a little inhuman at the moment, but to say he had demon blood was a bit of a stretch. If he were to be accurate, then he possessed his own unique bloodline.

Unique in the world.

A strange bloodline that fused the Xiang Family Divine Blood, the Qilin Divine Blood, and his own bloodline.

The scales glowed with a strange light, extraordinarily mysterious.

Chen Yuan said calmly:

"Now... is the real Asura Dao Lord!"

The door outside was suddenly shattered. It was Bai Niansheng who couldn't help but take action. Then, he saw a black-armored figure walking out of the dust. When he saw it clearly, his eyes suddenly narrowed and he frowned:

"Which clan are you from among the Hundred Clans of the Southern Border?"
