Chapter 1377 - 878: Leaving the Mountain! Leaving the Mountain!!

As the years swiftly pass in the mountains,

Beneath the Twin Trees, immortal shadows flicker.

Yang Qingqing’s Demon Soul repeatedly expands to its limits, even enveloping the magnificent Twin Trees.

Sitting under the tree, the small Du Yu is naturally also covered by Master Qing’s Demon Soul time and again.

Obviously, Yang Qingqing has entered the final sprint stage, ready to soon break through to the Peak of Demon Taming Emperor.

And within this repeatedly enveloping Demon Soul, Du Yu surprisingly sensed traces of mixed thoughts in Master Qing’s heart.

A bit of solace, a hint of expectation.

Feeling her thoughts, Du Yu is incredibly shocked.

Who is Yang Qingqing?

She is the renowned Master Qing, always the calm and composed one. How could she make such a low-level mistake?

Yet, at this critical breakthrough juncture, she is still thinking of him...

"Focus!" Du Yu couldn’t hold back anymore and uttered a solemn shout.

For the first time, as a disciple, Du Yu reversed the Celestial Spirits and scolded his own Immortal Master.

Yang Qingqing was not angry.

The continuous envelopment of Demon Soul only made Du Yu feel endless gentleness.

She seemed to be soothing Du Yu, telling him not to worry, to keep a peaceful mind, more and more peaceful...

The Demon Taming Emperor is not something that can be achieved overnight; haste makes waste.

Bathing in such a powerful yet gentle Demon Soul, Du Yu fell silent.

He vaguely realized that Master Qing’s mixed thoughts did not hinder her steps towards breakthrough.

Master Qing was still breaking through the shackles of the body, slowly yet steadily.

Her guidance and comfort all came from the heart, and such actions also infinitely matched with her Demon Taming Dao...

"Heh." Du Yu took a deep breath.

What an honor this is...

Can one’s Demon Taming Dao truly be another person?

If not for this special period of advancement, Du Yu did not know how long it would take to realize what Master Qing’s "Dao" was about.

Therefore, what Master Qing harbors in her heart is not mixed thoughts.

On the contrary, she is walking on the correct path, on her own Demon Taming Dao.

"Hoo!!"

Suddenly, a circle of fire spread out from within Du Yu.

But it wasn’t Du Yu advancing; it was the Tai Sui God within the Jueque Acupoint.

"Wooo~~~" The Tai Sui God, full of spirit, raised his bear head high and roared loudly.

Demon Emperor·Tai Sui God!

The latecomer surpasses the predecessors!

Bear in mind, the Tai Sui God joined Du Yu’s Demon Pet squad later, with Yan Ruyu and Ghost Firefly Fire ahead of Tai Sui.

All along, the cultivation realms of the two were also ahead of Tai Sui God.

Yet now, the Tai Sui God advanced to the emperor level first, leaving Little You Ying behind?

Is it due to talent?

Or because Tai Sui God worked harder than Little You Ying?

Or perhaps the Tai Sui God once briefly possessed the clan’s Holy Artifact - Tai Sui Wood Bamboo?

No matter what it is, the reality is here, Little Tai Sui has dynamically entered the emperor level and left the Acupoint Home by himself.

Du Yu watched as the Tai Sui God assembled in front of him, he extended a finger and placed it on his lips.

"Wo... um." The Tai Sui God just let out a roar, but swallowed the subsequent bear cries.

As a massive Demon Soul swept over, Tai Sui turned to look back, also seeing Master Qing’s advancing figure.

"Ying." Little Tai Sui murmured softly, as if he had done something wrong, his bear face was filled with apology when he looked back at Du Yu.

Du Yu smiled and nodded, indicating the ground in front of him.

Little Tai Sui understood instantly, getting down on all fours, and crawled to the front of Du Yu.

Du Yu extended both hands, gently rubbing that fluffy bear face.

My silly one, indeed formidable!

He actually successfully surpassed the Divine Ghost Firefly, no longer being at the bottom in strength.

If so, could he catch up to those ahead like Yan Ruyu, Bai Yujing, and Desolate Silver Lynx...?

"Ying?" Little Tai Sui suddenly raised his bear head, his big, shining black eyes looking up behind Du Yu.

Immediately after, Du Yu saw a look of surprise on Little Tai Sui’s lovable bear face.

Du Yu puzzledly turned his head, also witnessing an awe-inspiring scene!

On a mountain to the southeast, the Demon Beasts were like a forest!

Eight hundred Chi Bears filled the mountaintop, looking distantly at the Twin Tree Area from on high.

The Chi Bear Race warriors were divided into infantry and cavalry.

Depending on their sizes, Chi Bears were riding Yue Mountain Lions, Desert Lynxes, Dust Spirit Deer, and Black Fire Sheep Servants.

The four cavalry brigades were distinct, their formations orderly.

At the very back of the army, there were even giant Chi Bears riding massive Colorful Elephants!

On the steep cliffs, Enchanting Demons, either floating or hanging, painted faces gazed from afar at the Lord of Mountains and Seas - Du Yu.

And at the very forefront of the Demon Beast Legion, high in the air above the cliff, stood a solitary rider.

She wore a red Bamboo Leaf Conical Hat, draped in a Red Bamboo Leaf Cloak, holding a Red Bamboo Stick.

The steed beneath her was completely snow-white, stunning the world, unstained by dust.

The mountain winds blew, making her Red Bamboo Leaf Cloak flair horizontally, rustling sharply.

"Crack!"

Dark clouds swirled in the sky, a streak of lightning flashed, illuminating the faces of the mountain army.

This Demon Beast Legion was named "Mountain Army," personally named by the Red Leaf Race Leader.

The so-called mountain refers to the mountain of the Mountain Realm.

Moreover, it is the mountain in the hands of the Lord of Mountains and Seas, Du Yu.

"Rumble!"

Dark clouds churned, thunder echoed in rounds.

Du Yu stared blankly toward the southeast, watching the sudden emergence of beings from the Mountain Realm.

"Boom!"

The next muffled sound came from behind Du Yu.

A massive energy circle spread out, the surging Fire Demon Breath mixed with the dense Wood Demon Breath, directly flipping Du Yu out.

"Oink!" Little Tai Sui transformed into a black and white ball, rolling continuously on the ground.

They say demonic pets follow the master, indeed true.

The person and the bear not only rolled synchronously, but their manner of standing was equally consistent.

Both parties seized the opportunity simultaneously, with hands supporting the ground and legs slightly bent, sliding backward to counter the terrifying momentum.

Du Yu lifted his head, only to see the Twin Trees swinging their branches chaotically, and Jia Rong Grass swaying in waves of leaves.

Under the tree, a woman’s long hair fluttered, her aura overwhelming.

Du Yu looked up again, seeing an imposing Demon Soul standing proudly in the world.

Her beautiful eyes were stern and cold, gazing at the distant Mountain Army.

At this moment, Du Yu almost saw a god towering over the land.

He felt a mix of alarm and elation.

Happy because Master Qing finally advanced to the peak of Demon Taming Emperor.

Just one small step, and she could become the eighth Saint of Great Xia, sharing longevity with the heavens and earth.

Worried because as soon as the Mountain Army appeared, Master Qing advanced—was this really a coincidence?

Du Yu didn’t think so!

But regardless, necessary congratulations had to be made.

Du Yu shouted loudly, "Congratulations on your advancement, Master Qing."

Under the tree, Master Qing and the towering Demon Soul both looked at Du Yu.

The woman’s stern and cold gaze gradually softened.

"Hoo~" The towering Demon Soul silently waned and merged into the body of the small Human Race below the tree.

Yang Qingqing gently floated upwards, glanced at Du Yu, then at the ground before her.

This movement was exactly the same as when Du Yu commanded Little Tai Sui forward earlier!

Du Yu naturally understood and stepped forward boldly.

Hmm... Could this also be considered "demonic pets following the master"?

"Crack!!" Lightning flashed, and Jing Chen instantly arrived beside Du Yu.

"Oink!" Hongye dismounted, probing strands of Demon Soul, "Master."

Du Yu continued walking, asking, "What’s this about?"

Hongye suddenly expanded the Demon Soul, encompassing Yang Qingqing a few meters away, "The Mountain Army should emerge!"

Du Yu’s expression turned stern, "Why? What’s happening outside?"

It’s already May 31st, and Du Yu had been secluded, diligently cultivating with Master Qing for half a month, cut off from the outside world.

A cold voice suddenly came through, "That’s not your concern."

Du Yu frowned slightly and looked at Yang Qingqing.

As he moved, Du Yu was already standing before the woman.

Yang Qingqing raised a hand, extending a slender white jade finger, touching Du Yu’s forehead.

Her finger lightly moved, smoothing Du Yu’s furrowed brows, "I sense you’re about to advance."

"Mm." Du Yu hesitated for a moment before responding, "I could begin the advancement process at any time."

Yang Qingqing nodded lightly, "So, that’s not your concern."

Du Yu: "..."

Master Qing’s finger lightly tapped Du Yu’s brow again, "Focusing on advancing is your greatest concern for this world."

Du Yu said solemnly, "Understood."

Yang Qingqing satisfactorily withdrew her hand and looked at Hongye beside her, "Should I send you out of the mountain?"

"Oink!" Hongye clasped her hands together, courteously bowing.

Yang Qingqing pondered for a moment, "Can’t wait a few more days?"

Hongye didn’t respond, only bowed her head further.

"Alright." Witnessing this, Yang Qingqing agreed, knowing well that war is no trifling matter.

Since entering the Mountain Realm, the Chi Bear Race had similarly been isolated.

With Hongye leading the army here, it must be under Elder Yinsuo’s directive.

Notably, Elder Yinsuo did not enter the Mountain Realm, nor did it go to the You Huang Realm, but opted to stay in Great Xia· Bamboo Forest, alongside the Bamboo Shadow Thunder Pool.

Hongye’s actions today were undoubtedly pre-arranged by Yinsuo long ago.

And the event triggering this action, was likely Master Qing’s successful advancement?

"Qing..." Du Yu opened his mouth, but the rest of the words caught at his lips.

If possible, he’d really hope that Master Qing and the Mountain Army could wait for him a few days.

Just a few days is all it takes!

But Du Yu also knew he absolutely must not delay any battle opportunity, not even for a moment.

Thinking over and over, Du Yu hurriedly said, "Master Qing, take Kui Chou with you!"

"Alright." Yang Qingqing replied softly, knowing this would ease her disciple.

Her Jiangshan Map already had Flowing Fire stationed, now adding Kui Chou only added another safeguard.

Not just for her own safety, but for the Mountain Army, for all the soldiers of the Twin Tree Realm.

Yang Qingqing’s silhouette floated, sidling to sit upon Jing Chen’s back, leaving behind a Rotten Wood Avatar where she stood.

Since Yang Qingqing began the advancement process, she hadn’t sent the Dragon and Snake Saints back into the Jiangshan Map.

Rotten Master Qing laid a hand on Du Yu’s shoulder, gently exerting pressure, leading him step by step behind the tree.

"Oink~" Tai Sui God watched the Red Leaf Race Leader, then the master’s figure receding.

Du Yu turned to look back, conveying his thoughts through the contract, "Go, join your clansmen, I’ll be right there!"

The illustrious Demon Emperor· Tai Sui God should certainly be one of the Chi Clan warriors!

Tai Sui God: "Oink!"
