CHAPTER 93: CHAPTER 93: SPIDER DEMON AMBUSH, OVERSEAS TURMOIL [SEEKING RECOMMENDATION TICKETS]_1
The spider spirit sisters left the Flowing Sand River.
But they had not gone far when they were intercepted.
In the deep mountains tens of thousands of miles west of the Flowing Sand River, demonic energy soared to the sky, and a great demon blocked their path.
An Old Grey Wolf Demon, in human form, stood towering. It was so massive it seemed as if mountains rested beneath his feet and clouds nestled under his armpits.
His roar to the sky was so fierce it could have startled Lingxiao Palace.
With every breath, he inhaled and exhaled the essence of the sun and moon.
In the mountains, there were thousands of other demons, each wielding weapons, with demonic energy billowing about them.
They all blocked the way of the spider spirit sisters.
The Old Grey Wolf Demon looked down upon the spider spirits, exuding an aura of bloodlust, pointing his Wolf Fang Club at them.
"You demons, I have been waiting for you here for a long time. Finally, you have crawled out of that stinky ditch," he said.
The spider spirits all furrowed their brows. They had been followed!? How had they not noticed!?
Seventh Mother shouted angrily, "Wolf demon, who exactly are you, and for what purpose have you been tracking us?"
She did not remember having provoked such a great demon.
The Old Grey Wolf Demon said, "Call me Lord Xiaoyue. I am a great demon under the command of Yellow Robe King, specifically lying in ambush here for those coming out of that stinky ditch."
The spider spirits were startled.
The name of Yellow Robe King had become very prominent in recent years. They had not expected him to hold a grudge against their elder brother, Sha Chen. And to have sent someone to ambush them. They feared this was an ambush for Sha Chen or anyone related to him. The attackers planned to spare no one.
The spider spirits exchanged glances, understanding each other’s thoughts. They would eliminate the danger for their big brother.
Lord Xiaoyue sneered, "From the look in your eyes, I see fear and terror. Well, if you are willing to lure that hairy god out of that stinky ditch, I might spare your lives."
Indeed, he wanted to target Sha Chen!
The spider spirits made up their minds.
Lord Xiaoyue was displaying the Divine Power of Law of Heaven and Earth to intimidate the spider spirits and was releasing the formidable presence of an early-stage Greater Primordial Golden Immortal. The shock was enough to shake heaven and earth. An ordinary lesser demon would likely have been scared to death by now. He was also confident that these demons, surely trembling with fear, would next be kneeling and begging for mercy.
Seventh Mother, taking the lead, was furious, "You beast, how dare you insult our elder brother! You shall not be forgiven."
A powerful presence at the peak of Golden Immortal burst forth; she reached out, grabbing her sword, while her other hand grasped the God Needle of Usagi Day.
Lord Xiaoyue laughed loudly, "Ridiculous, you’re merely Golden Immortals. Don’t say just the seven of you; even if your numbers were doubled, I would not be afraid."
Upon finishing, the Wolf Fang Club swung down.
"Trouble now! With one swing of my club, I could split mountains and earth. If you can’t withstand it, I’ll have no one left to question," Lord Xiaoyue warned in a low voice.
The spider spirits sneered together, each displaying the Divine Power of Law of Heaven and Earth even more realistically than Lord Xiaoyue. They were, after all, practitioners of the authentic Thug’s Seventy-two Variations and the Eight-Nine Profound Art!
The spider spirits easily parried the Wolf Fang Club with their swords, their aura overwhelming.
Lord Xiaoyue suddenly felt a loss of face and snorted, "Just now my heart softened, and I held back a little, allowing you to succeed. Don’t be too arrogant."
He then lifted the Wolf Fang Club and swung down again.
"This time, I will use my full strength. All of you Golden Immortals shall die."
BOOM!
The Wolf Fang Club landed.
Lord Xiaoyue sighed, "It seems I was still too rash. Now that I’ve struck them dead, how am I supposed to lure out the hairy god? I need to change this temper of mine."
But before he could finish his sentence, he saw that beneath the Wolf Fang Club, the spider spirits were all still alive. They had actually managed to hold up his club with their swords, and it seemed effortless.
How is that possible? How could you possess such immense strength? How could you possibly block my Magical Tool!?
Lord Xiaoyue was immensely shocked.
Seventh Mother snorted coldly, "The Cultivation Technique and Divine Power we practice are beyond your imagination."
After his shock, Lord Xiaoyue sneered, "It doesn’t matter. Even if I can’t kill you now, you can’t do anything to me. You are merely Golden Immortals after all. Do you really think you can slaughter a Greater Primordial Golden Immortal?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the eldest spider sister suddenly released her aura, revealing that she too was a Greater Primordial Golden Immortal.
Afterward, Second Mother and San Niang also released the aura of Greater Primordial Golden Immortals, their presence mighty and solid.
Lord Xiaoyue was terrified. "You’ve all broken through?!"
The spider sisters sneered, "We have always been at this level of cultivation. Die, demon."
The seven sisters charged together, overpowering Lord Xiaoyue. They quickly stabbed out his eyes with the God Needle of Usagi Day, entangled him in spider webs, and then slashed his throat with a sword.
And so, Lord Xiaoyue fell, his Golden Core removed, his life ended here.
The other lesser demons were also killed one by one by the spider sisters, leaving none alive. Even their lair here was looted clean, and in the end, set ablaze—a complete annihilation.
Having dealt with all this, the spider sisters went on their way again.
However, this time, they changed their target. It was no longer some Daluo Golden Immortal demon overseas coveting their beauty. Instead, it was Kui Mulang.
"The Yellow Robe Fiend dares to lay an ambush for our elder brother; we must avenge him."
「Sha Chen, who was in the Flowing Sand River, had no idea what was happening outside.」
After sending the people away, he had entered a period of secluded cultivation. His cultivation had just broken through to the high stage of Greater Primordial Golden Immortal. He also possessed the Samadhi True Fire and Qingyun Zong, along with other Daoist cultivation techniques that needed to be practiced and improved. His physical body also needed to be cultivated in parallel, and he felt there was not enough time. Seclusion and cultivation became his priorities.
As for Tianpeng, he already had other arrangements. If he could save him, he would; if not, Tianpeng would have to fend for himself.
「Overseas.」
Chen Sha’s incarnation had been delayed for a few years. He had spent them traveling with his senior sister, the crane Fairy Yunyao—by day he would ride her, and by night, she would ride him. After roaming like this for a long time, they finally arrived at Luanshi Island.
Luanshi Island, in fact, was an archipelago, incredibly vast, spanning tens of thousands of miles, dotted with islands, and also forming a defensive Formation.
Within the archipelago, there were numerous demons, their demonic aura billowing.
Since the few incidents of theft before, Luanshi Island had become much more fortified. But now, because the Nine-headed Saint was marrying Princess Wan Sheng and guests were coming and going, the Formation was wide open. But the demons were not letting their guard down. Each and every one of them looked ferocious, closely watching the guests who passed by. Anyone without an invitation or who seemed suspicious was basically captured for interrogation.
Chen Sha’s incarnation stood behind Fairy Yunyao, the crane, as they soared high above the edge of Luanshi Island before landing at the main gate.
All sorts of demons came and went on Luanshi Island, but today there were immortals visiting, which piqued the curiosity of many, who began whispering amongst themselves.
The gatekeeping demons became vigilant, wanting to interrogate them.
The crane had already transformed into the likeness of Fairy Yunyao. She was noble and aloof, standing even half a head taller than Chen Sha’s incarnation. Her figure was tall and straight, with every part of her prominent and well-defined. Standing beside Chen Sha, she made it seem as though he was the one in charge.
Feeling the auras of these demons, many stronger than him, Chen Sha was shocked and somewhat worried.
Thinking of making an escape will be problematic. Moreover, my purpose here is to have the Nine-headed Saint acknowledge the Golden Spirit Holy Mother as his master. If the Nine-headed Saint gets angry, it will be the end for me. Decades of hard cultivation will be wasted. I’m also carrying a bunch of cultivation resources, none of which can be sent back to my primary body.
