Chapter 231: Chapter 229 Calculation of Heavenly Secrets

The next day.

Yang Fu, Yang Qiang, and Baji set off on their journey to the summit of Snow Mountain.

Little Yang Qiang vigorously waved his hands to say goodbye to the Yang Family, his eyes red with emotion.

“Mom, aunties, little brother, and sisters, wait for me to return after completing my training!”

All the reluctance could only be turned into sighs left behind last night, for the path ahead of Yang Qiang was a smooth and wide road, even broader than those of Yang Fu and Yang Fushuo.

The Yang Family had to seize this opportunity.

...

“The summit of Snow Mountain lies to the north of the Cloud Hidden Spirit Sect, passing through territories of two major sects, extremely distant…”

Yang Fu and his companions took a large Spiritual Beast Spaceship from Fengwu Villa for the journey.

A month had passed since they set out…

During this time, Yang Genshuo rapidly progressed; he watched Yang Shi and Ding Zhen again join forces to battle in the Devil Wind Forest, constantly fighting with the Foundation Establishment Stage Demon Beasts, which was highly perilous.

Hu Yue had entered the Ancient Zone and hadn’t come out since, leaving everyone unsure of what had transpired.

Yang Fuqing investigated again, but the Demon Clan had become more cautious, never revealing their traces to her.

Some of her Demon Beast friends were brutally killed, especially her best Long-haired Parrot friends, who had always been her eyes in the Devil Wind Forest, and one had died…

“I want to peck these bad demons to death!”

“Peck them to death!”

“Peck to death!”

Several Long-haired Parrots surrounded Yang Fuqing, chirping their anger!

Their fellow birds had been killed, which was a provocation to the whole Long-haired Parrot clan.

Yang Fuqing constantly soothed these angered friends.

“Don’t worry, everyone, Little Yuan’s death… we won’t let this go, I’ll make them pay! Whether it be Demon Beasts or the Demon Clan, they must pay a price!”

“Yes! Make them pay!”

The Long-haired Parrots shared a common enemy.

Yang Fuqing’s heart darkened, not only because of Little Yuan’s death but also because the recent control over Devil Wind Forest… was slipping away from her. Previously, with her Beast Spirit Body talent, Demon Beasts would rarely attack her actively. Some sentient Demon Beasts even liked to chat with her.

She had marked those sentient Demon Beasts on the map so that human Cultivators wouldn’t disturb them, and they could be friends with humans, just like the Long-haired Parrot clan.

But now, new Demon Beasts had emerged in the development zone, faces she had never seen before, all highly irritable and aggressive on sight.

“What exactly are these demons up to! Damn it!!!”

Yang Fuqing felt they were tarnishing the Devil Wind Forest, turning the Demon Beasts mad.

“Little Jian, see if you can find out who killed Little Yuan.”

“Yes, I’m on it! Universe boundless, chase of ten thousand miles!”

Yang Fujian activated his Divine Skills, inhaling Little Yuan’s scent into his nostrils, and two long trails of smoke appeared before his eyes, stretching deep into the Devil Wind Forest.

“Found it, follow me!”

Yang Fujian led Yang Fuqing, the Long-haired Parrot clan, and five young demons in pursuit.

They quickly found a giant python with blood-red eyes.

“Old Belly?”

Yang Fuqing called out its name, recognizing the huge python.

This was one of the sentient Demon Beasts she knew!

Old Belly had lived for over 300 years, gradually evolving from a small python to the mighty giant it was now, almost reaching Qi Cultivation Perfection, just a step away from leaping through the dragon gate to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.

According to the Cultivation Technique Yang Fuqing had given it, it could soon transform into a human form and live in human cities.

Last month, when Yang Fuqing passed by, she had chatted with Old Belly the python.

Although it appeared fierce and immense, it was actually a cultured and warm-hearted giant, always preparing various Spirit Fruits it had picked for Yang Fuqing to eat.

Yang Fuqing hadn’t expected it to be the one who attacked the Long-haired Parrots.

“Peck him to death!”

“Let’s get him together!”

“For Little Yuan’s revenge!”

The Long-haired Parrots fluffed up their feathers, ready to swarm, but Yang Fuqing stopped them.

“Hold on! There must be some misunderstanding… Little Jian, are you sure it’s him?”

@@novelbin@@

Little Jian was expressionless.

“There’s no mistake, I can even see the Parrot blood on his mouth corner…”

The sharp Fox Demon quickly added, “I can smell it too… it was him.”

They, too, possessed such abilities, but they weren’t as powerful as Yang Fujian’s divine skills.

Yang Fuqing furrowed her brows even deeper upon hearing this.

“Little Jian? Explain for me, what exactly is going on?”

Meanwhile, the usually gentle giant python had bloodshot eyes void of humanity, filled with aggressive desires.

Hiss!

The python lunged from the tree, its massive body sweeping towards Yang Fuqing.

Its body was covered with layers of earthy scales, and it emitted a faint poison mist, instantly dissolving any trees it touched.

This python was a Wood Earth Demon Beast.

Its massive size and formidable strength made battling two same-realm Demon Beasts no problem at all.

“Be careful!”

Yang Fujian pushed Yang Fuqing aside as four swords flew out from behind him.

“Qi Sword, slash!”

Controlling the swords with Qi, his Sword Intent was unrivaled!

Yang Fujian was obsessed with swords; his sword moves were razor-sharp!

Four swords struck simultaneously, deeply gashing the python’s tail.

Hiss!!!

The python screamed in pain.

“Take this punch from Old Bear!”

Baji’s body swelled, morphing into a giant bear, and he smashed his bear fist into the powerless tail of the python, sending it flying.

The other four small demons also made their moves, assisting Yang Fujian in attacking the python.

The long-haired parrot flaunted in the sky, occasionally beating its wings to strike the python with a few Five Elements spells, battering it mercilessly.

“Traceless Sword!”

Yang Fujian controlled the swords with Qi, each of the four swords executed different moves from the Traceless Sword Technique in the air, scraping chunks of flesh from the python.

Together, their attack was overwhelming; the python couldn’t withstand it and soon ran out of strength, about to fall.

Seeing this, Yang Fuqing shouted, “Little Jian, hold back! Don’t kill it!”

At this moment, Yang Fujian’s eyes were already filled with the intention to kill.

“Outer Heaven Flying Immortal!”

The four swords transformed into streaks of light, piercing through the python’s skull.

Its massive body collapsed loudly…

“Hmph, daring to harbor murderous intentions towards my sister…already on the Path of Death.”

In Yang Fujian’s eyes, protecting his sister was the most important thing; he wouldn’t let any demon beast—or person—displaying malice towards Yang Fuqing get away…

Shing! Shing! Shing! Shing!

As the four blood-drenched swords were sheathed, a red glow emerged from Yang Fujian, his eyes gleaming momentarily.

His strength had increased once again.

This was due to a talent he had absorbed from the demon beast—[Devour]—devouring the blood of different demon beasts could enhance his own strength.

“Little Jian! Why did you kill it? It was a sentient demon!”

“The moment it attacked you…it was no longer that.” Yang Fujian said coldly.

“You… I still wanted to talk to it.”

Yang Fuqing was somewhat uncomfortable, but with the parrots avenged, they all returned satisfied.

Yet, deep down, Yang Fuqing felt that Old Stomach’s mutation must have been the work of the Demon Clan.

“Great ancestor, please tell me, what exactly happened…”

She did not want to see her old friends end up like Old Stomach.

On the other side, Yang Fu and his group had already reached the summit of Snow Mountain.

The talisman on Yang Qiang’s back glowed faintly.

Above the snow-capped mountain, a gate appeared out of nowhere.

It bore three large characters: Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

“Calculate the heavenly secrets, know the future, from ancient to present, unmatched talent.”

“Command winds, rains, thunders, and lightnings, control mountains, and rivers at my will!”

Lines of Daoist chants flowed out from the gate.
