Chapter 704: Chapter 335: Rainfall of Raging Darkness (Part 1)

“Madman.” Long Chiyu just glanced at him indifferently, “For the sake of an inheritance, do you really want to turn into something neither human nor demon? I think you’ve stayed too long on the island and really believe yourself an outlaw now.”

Tong Hui was naturally infuriated by Long Chiyu’s mockery, retorting that it was the other party who first attacked Zixun, yet now pretends to be aloof.

To everyone’s surprise, Zixun actually stood up and spoke for Long Chiyu. It was true that Long Chiyu was forcing her to hand over the inheritance, but she could tell that if it hadn’t been Long Chiyu ‘escorting’ her and Si Han to Sanyuan Mountain, she might have already suffered a more violent treatment.

Long Chiyu pressed her lips, gave Zixun a deep look, but then flicked her sleeve and said:

“The inheritance is no longer with her, get ready to resist the evil.”

This statement instantly shocked the crowd, and Tong Hui couldn’t help but question loudly:

“How do you know it’s not with her anymore?!”

“I saw someone leaving with the inheritance with my own eyes,” Long Chiyu replied.

Tong Hui’s eyes shifted quickly as if he remembered something, and immediately began to survey the Profound Sky Sect’s team, only to realize, as he expected, that You Su was nowhere to be seen!

“It’s that blind one! You let him get away first!” Tong Hui fumed and was about to make a move to demand an explanation.

A cold, long chain suddenly struck into the ground in front of him, startling him into stillness.

Long Chiyu looked back, her gaze as cold as if she was about to kill:

“Whoever captures the Sanyuan Purple Gold gets the inheritance; that was the agreed rule. He won, so it’s his to take.”

Tong Hui gritted his teeth and snapped, “He didn’t even take the Sanyuan Purple Gold!”

“The inheritance is no longer here, and continuing to fight over it is pointless. I saw him enter the evil tide down the mountain with my own eyes. If you want it, go chase after it yourself.”

Long Chiyu silently retracted her chain blade, recalling the move from when she clashed with You Su.

She should’ve been severely injured by that sword, knocked from her elevated position into the filthy mire. But the young man did not fully unleash his Sword Intent, perhaps not to spare her dignity, but simply because he was eager to charge toward the altar. Yet, she truly remembered this favor of the sword.

That’s why she paid more attention to the young man, which led her to notice the small actions of the Profound Sky Sect members. She did not immediately expose them, but deliberately concealed it until now to disillusion those still obsessed with the inheritance.

“I believe that what Zhengyang True Immortal truly wishes to see is our unity against external enemies, not an endless internal struggle over an illusory inheritance. Beiao Continent cultivators, follow me!”

Upon her command, the distinctively dressed cultivators of Beiao Continent immediately followed her, voluntarily establishing a defense line to the north of Sanyuan Mountain.

Tong Hui was still unwilling to give up, believing that someone carrying the inheritance walking into the evil tide was clearly courting death, and did not trust that Zixun genuinely handed over the inheritance to someone else, only assuming that Zixun’s move was a Blinding Skill.

Zixun then suddenly flipped up her skirt, revealing her beautiful long legs wrapped in torn stockings. Amidst the dim rain, this streak of purple silk stood out as the only beautiful scenery, catching many people’s eyes.

This action was quite bold, yet Zixun was not flaunting her jade feet like those open Fairies. She pointed to a tear in the hem of her skirt and said:

“Previously, to prevent you from searching me, I had sewn the Qiankun Bag inside my skirt so you couldn’t find it. Now, the seam is broken, believe it if you want.”

Saying so, the brave girl let down the heavy rain-soaked skirt, the momentary beauty leaving a deep impression.

The girl turned her back like she was pouting, but her face was actually burning.

Although it was far from the glamorous and stunning scene she had imagined, she still achieved her goal of showcasing Bihua Pavilion stockings to everyone in a special way.

‘Why am I so excited… Do I have some kind of fetish?’

Zixun clenched her fist, her heartbeat pounding, and her uncontrollable excitement led her to think nonsensically.

‘If I can make it back alive, I must have You Su write this flirt into a story. Zixun Fairy lifts her skirt, the Five Continents cultivators set their spirits! Ahh, Bihua Pavilion has a new advertisement!’

Due to Zixun’s enthusiastic advertising for Bihua Pavilion, she was privately appointed as the ‘Advertising Elder’ by You Su. The girl was extremely grateful for You Su’s ‘commissioning of heavy responsibility,’ and thus learned this novel term.

Whether or not the morale was set is unknown, but the fact that a woman dared to lift her skirt suddenly at such a critical moment indeed shocked many people, even though she exposed nothing except her legs.

Many people, after calming down, chose to believe, with Long Chiyu’s words still ringing in their ears, as if their inner conscience and self-respect as righteous path were also awakened.

Even if they still had a fondness for the inheritance, there was something more urgent than the future, and that was the survival in the here and now.

Fu Heng stepped forward, emptied his resources to set talisman arrays in the four directions of Sanyuan Mountain. His actions, not only protecting the Profound Sky Sect people, earned the trust of many people, and more and more people took out their home-keeping Magical Treasures and skills to face this life-and-death moment, even Tong Hui was no exception.

Many people viewed him as the leader of the surviving cultivators in Nanyang Continent, which inspired him to protect everyone’s morale, as if forgetting the wounds on his body.

Ji Xueruo felt secretly gratified, a blurred memory surfaced in her mind, which happened during the thousand times reincarnation dream she experienced with You Su.

At that time, they were debating whether human nature was inherently good or evil, but eventually concluded that human nature was neither inherently good nor evil, it was the environment around pushing them towards good or evil.

At different times, people will show different good and evil.

This was a crazy trial, testing everyone’s hearts.

After this commotion, the situation at least temporarily stabilized, with cultivators from the five continents each managing a direction, forming a solid fortress on this small mountain.

The biggest destructive factor, instead, became the frenzied giant snake at the center of the fortress, and what Ji Xueruo had to do now, was to calm this recently awakened and frenzied giant snake, hoping the Snake Ancestor could help them withstand the evil tide together.

She was very sure this was indeed the Snake Ancestor of her Dngying Snake Race, the feeling of bloodline summoning just now led to her momentary absent-mindedness.

The Snake Ancestor had found her and had been summoning her until now. Even though she couldn’t understand what the Snake Ancestor wanted to say, she could feel that the Snake Ancestor’s thoughts were very gentle, without hostility, like a kind and amiable elder calling to their granddaughter.

In the past, it was always her summoning those wild snakes in the wild, they looked up to her, as her bloodline had an absolute suppressive power over snakes.

The situation was the same now, only she was the one being suppressed.

Many of the Demon Race transformed into their demon forms to repel the evil tide, and she was no exception.

This sacred and bewitchingly beautiful giant white snake looked exceedingly stunning, but in front of this enormous snake, her size was also dwarfed, like a beautiful little eel facing a true snake.

She swam slowly toward the giant snake, which indeed calmed down, no longer thrashing wildly but instead flicking its scarlet tongue, watching Ji Xueruo’s approach with those black onyx-like snake eyes.

Ji Xueruo could no longer discern whether she actively wanted to approach the Snake Ancestor, or if it was that she was passively drawn by the call of her bloodline, or perhaps it was both.

Suddenly, she stopped.

Because she realized that only when a snake sees its prey does it silently flick its tongue like this.

…

Rumble——

Another thunderclap, the sky was torn apart with a massive gash, the extreme white quickly overshadowed by darkness.

You Su was catching his breath on a high tree, suddenly frozen as if struck by that bolt of lightning.

He seemed to see a distant picture in his mind, where a sacred little snake was swallowed by an ancient, primitive giant snake.

Looking at the surging evil tide below the tree, You Su suddenly realized he was the True Lord.

The True Lord was the ancestor of all evils, yet he wasn’t here to help the demons, he was here to devour his own people.

Human reverence for ancestors is blind.
