Chapter 1

Only Zhao Qishan wore a strange expression in the group.

"Blood Demoness… I remember back then, she was taken away by that guy pretending to be from the Angel Clan. She definitely knows his identity!" Zhao Qishan thought excitedly. "As long as I find that guy, I can avenge my good disciple!"

Immediately, he transmitted a few words to Wu Daogu, informing her of this matter.

A cold light flashed in Wu Daogu's eyes, and she kept it in her heart. She hadn't forgotten the death of the Red-Clothed Holy Maiden of Yueyao Ancient Land, but she remained calm, warning Zhao Qishan not to be impulsive. The Blood Demoness was now a relative of Senior Ye, so this matter had to be approached with extreme caution.

"It's best to use Senior Ye's hand to get rid of him!"

Wu Daogu transmitted her thoughts. Zhao Qishan revealed a smile. He had been thinking the same thing.

Soon, the group walked through the streets and arrived at a manor near Nanshan.

It was much quieter here. The bluestone-paved courtyard was not very even, and green grass sprouted from the cracks, but the ground was clean, and only a few young men were practicing swordsmanship in the yard.

Their qi and blood were like dragons, their postures were agile, and every move and stance had already matured. Their cultivation levels were all Half-Saints in the Heavenly Human Realm.

Ximen Chuiwu looked sideways, guessing that these young men must be the most outstanding members of the Ye family, just like the core members of his Ximen family, with outstanding talents, monstrous geniuses who could shoulder the burden of the family in the future.

The young men saw Ye Lin and stopped to salute. Ye Lin casually gave a few pointers and words of encouragement, causing the young men's faces to flush with excitement, and they practiced even more diligently.

"Cousin, I'm here!"

Not far away, outside a courtyard, a figure in red walked out and shouted happily when she saw Ye Lin, calling Ye Lin her cousin.

It was the Blood Demoness.

Seventeen years had passed, and her cultivation had broken through to the Saint Realm, and she was at the peak of the Saint Realm. Her aura was deep and stable, obviously having broken through for a long time.

The breakthrough in cultivation made her even more beautiful and charming.

Time had not left any traces on her face. Her skin was still as white and delicate as snow, and her figure was graceful, with a tempting small waist. Every frown and smile made her as likable as a little fairy.

Ye Lin observed carefully and found that although her cousin looked the same as before, there was a hint of unusual charm between her eyebrows, bewitching and enchanting, which made her heart flutter involuntarily.

She had not experienced matters between men and women, so naturally she did not know that this was a manifestation of a woman being nourished after being "conquered day and night." She only thought that the Blood Demoness had cultivated some secret technique again.

The Blood Demon Sect had many secret techniques.

"Third Cousin, I'm relieved to see that you're doing well." Ye Lin walked up and took the Blood Demoness's hand, smiling as she spoke. She had not yet taken off her armor, and she was taller than the Blood Demoness. Her cultivation as a Divine Power Realm powerhouse added to her temperament, making her even more stunning.

The Blood Demoness stared at her for a long time, then giggled and said, "Cousin, you haven't gotten married yet, have you?!"

Ye Lin lightly punched her and said, "You're making fun of me again. You know I don't like men." As she spoke, she looked up and down at the Blood Demoness, leaned in, and whispered, "I only like women like you. Tonight, come to my room!"

The Blood Demoness blushed and said shyly, "Cousin, don't. I already have a Dao companion. We can't mess around like we used to. What if my Dao companion finds out? He's very fierce!"

Ye Lin was surprised. After seventeen years, her Third Cousin, who had been hurt by love and vowed never to trust stinky men again, actually had a new Dao companion.

She was about to ask in detail when she saw a little girl running from behind the courtyard, stumbling and falling as she ran, but she didn't cry. She got up and continued to run towards the Blood Demoness, coquettishly saying in a childish voice, "Mommy, hug, hug!"

Ye Lin was dumbfounded. Her Third Cousin had a child?!

Under the bloodline connection, this little girl was indeed the Blood Demoness's child, but what made her feel strange was that there was a large bulge on the child's back, as if something was hidden under her clothes.

The Blood Demoness squatted down to coax the little girl. In the distance, several young men from the Ye family were practicing sword control, flying into the air one by one, stepping on long swords and competing in mid-air.

The little girl's eyes lit up as she watched. She broke free from the Blood Demoness's embrace, rolled on the spot, and then pounced towards the sky like a ferocious beast. Her petite body instantly erupted with terrifying qi and blood, shining like a blood-colored star, emitting a thunderous sound.

Ye Lin turned pale with shock.

Ximen Chuixue and the others were stunned on the spot. Was such qi and blood still human?

Just as they were shocked, they saw that the little girl who had pounced into mid-air not only did not fall, but the clothes on her back suddenly tore open with a "tearing" sound. A pair of fleshy wings covered in blood scales stretched out, soaring into the air with a "whooshing" sound.

She was clearly a child, but she had a pair of snake-scaled wings, flying into the sky in the blink of an eye.

She played side by side with the young men flying on swords in the sky, but she startled those young men so much that they almost fell. They shouted what a monster, but she giggled heartlessly, her laughter as pleasant as a nightingale.

Ye Lin asked the Blood Demoness in surprise, "Third Cousin, is this a member of the Angel Clan? Is your Dao companion an expert from the Angel Clan?"

In the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas, only members of the Angel Clan grew wings on their backs.

The Blood Demoness thought for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly, "Probably not. I haven't heard him mention it, but he does have wings. This child was born with them, with a pair of wings."

"Usually, I tell her to put her wings away to avoid trouble, but this little one gets excited when she sees others flying. Sigh, she's really naughty. It's too hard to raise children. I knew I wouldn't have given birth."

She babbled on, all about trivial matters of raising children.

Ye Lin's head grew dizzy as she listened, and she immediately smiled and said, "Listening to you, I definitely won't have children in the future. Besides, I only like women, not men."

The Blood Demoness giggled and said, "That's because you haven't met a good man." Her beautiful eyes twinkled, and she jokingly smiled, "Do you want me to introduce my Dao companion to you? He's very good in that area and will definitely satisfy you."

Ye Lin's face flushed as she listened, and she lightly punched her again, scolding her for not being serious.

Just then, Wu Daogu and Zhao Qishan summoned their courage and walked up.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Blood Demoness!"

The Blood Demoness was now also a Saint, and the two of them were much more polite in their words.

The Blood Demoness frowned. She didn't seem to recognize these two people and looked at Ye Lin in confusion. Ye Lin smiled and gave a brief introduction, and the Blood Demoness suddenly returned the greeting. "Do you have any business?" The Blood Demoness saw that the two of them seemed to have something to say, so she simply asked directly.

Zhao Qishan looked at Wu Daogu. Wu Daogu cursed inwardly at the old fox and immediately told the story of what happened in Evil Wind Sea seventeen years ago, then asked the Blood Demoness if she knew about it and the information about the villain who pretended to be from the Angel Clan.

The Blood Demoness looked unhappy as she listened. The other party kept calling him a villain, but that was her man!

She said with a cold face, "I don't know!"

Zhao Qishan: "..."

Wu Daogu: "..."

The two of them were met with a cold shoulder, and they were somewhat annoyed in their hearts, but for Ye Lin's sake, they勉强 smiled and turned to leave. However, they were now roughly certain that the Blood Demoness's Dao companion was the enemy they were looking for.

Chapter 2

Ye Lin looked at the backs of the two people and then at the Blood Demoness, whose face was filled with anger. She guessed that there must be some old grudges between the three of them, but she didn't have the heart to care about these things.

"A great calamity is approaching, and the Zhou Emperor has left to avoid it. We need to seek our own survival. Although my Ye family's territory is remote, we still need to prepare!"

Ye Lin was worried, thinking of the Ximen family's tragedy. She didn't want such a tragedy to happen to her family's territory as well.

The Blood Demoness smiled and said, "Cousin, don't worry. I came this time for this matter."

"Oh?"

"Yes, a great calamity will soon sweep across the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas. This calamity is mainly aimed at beings with powerful cultivation bases. People like you in the Divine Power Realm will definitely find it difficult to stay out of it."

The Blood Demoness revealed a piece of important information.

Ye Lin was shocked and asked suspiciously, "How do you know so much?"

She knew that a great calamity was approaching because the Zhou Emperor and the Divination Master told her, but how did her Third Cousin, who was in the Saint Realm, know about it? And she knew more than she did.

Next to her.

Ximen Chuixue and the others also gathered around, curiously perking up their ears.

The Blood Demoness proudly smiled and said, "How do I know? Of course, my man told me!" A look of shyness appeared on her face. "I served him comfortably, and he inadvertently revealed this information."

Ximen Chuixue and the others frowned and pondered.

A flash of light flashed in Ye Lin's beautiful eyes as she said, "It seems your Dao companion has some skills. He even deduced such things. He's an expert!"

Admiration appeared in the Blood Demoness's eyes as she said, "Of course, he's number one in the world!"

Ye Lin smiled and shook her head when she heard this.

Third Cousin was too simple and hadn't seen much of the world. The Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas were so vast, and ancient sacred grounds with long traditions had countless sleeping giants. Even the Zhou Emperor didn't dare to say he was number one in the world, let alone her Dao companion!

The Blood Demoness didn't notice Ye Lin's expression. She said seriously, "So, this time I'm inviting you cousins to come to my place to avoid the calamity."

Seeing that Ye Lin wanted to refuse, she hurriedly said, "Don't worry, my man has already agreed, saying that as long as you come, he'll welcome you with open arms and even prepare a banquet for you!"

Ye Lin felt a warmth in her heart. Her cousin was still the closest to her, always thinking of her at critical moments.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Allow me to consider it further and give you an answer tomorrow."

"Be quick, time is of the essence!"

"Okay! Don't worry, I know."

That night.

Ye Lin summoned Ye Batian and other high-level members of the Ye family to discuss this matter.

The Ye family had also opened up secret realms in other places, which were also places to avoid calamity. There were differing opinions on whether to go to the Blood Demoness's place or to the secret realm.

Although the secret realm was safe, it wasn't of much use against monsters in the Heavenly God Realm. The Blood Demoness's Dao companion seemed to have an extraordinary cultivation base, and Ye Lin was also in the Divine Power Realm. Perhaps it would be safer to gather together.

"Leave a portion of the clansmen here in the territory, and the rest go to the family's secret realm. I'll go to the Blood Demoness's place tomorrow to take a look and pay a visit to my Third Cousin-in-law before making other decisions. We still have time."

Ye Lin made the final decision, and Ye Batian and other clansmen went back to prepare.

When the sky was faintly bright.

Ye Lin set off with a portion of the clansmen and the Blood Demoness. A flying artifact in the shape of a giant sword left the small town of the territory and arrived at Lequan Mountain at noon the next day.

"Green Mountain Sect!"

The giant sword flying artifact landed at the foot of the mountain. Ye Lin saw a tall stone tablet standing at the mountain gate. It seemed to be newly erected, and the writing on it was still very new.

On the mountain road, there were figures who looked like disciples walking around, but their cultivation bases were all very low. At a glance, they were all in the True Person Realm, and there wasn't even a Half-Saint.

The Blood Demoness held the little girl and smiled, "We're home, this is it. My Dao companion is the ancestor of the Green Mountain Sect, and I'm the ancestor's wife."

Ye Lin nodded. She carefully sensed the Green Mountain Sect but didn't feel the aura of the Divine Power Realm. She felt a bit strange in her heart.

But since she had already come, she didn't ask much. She beckoned to the clansmen to follow the Blood Demoness up the mountain.

Behind her, Wu Daogu, Zhao Qishan, and the Silent Great Monk followed. They had come voluntarily, and the Blood Demoness didn't stop them, but her attitude was very cold.

"Woof, woof, woof~"

Behind the mountain gate stone tablet, a burst of dog barking suddenly came, and at the same time, a fierce aura came, scaring everyone.

Wu Daogu, who was walking at the back, almost had her butt bitten and was so angry that she cursed loudly. At the same time, she was shocked in her heart. She was a Saint, but she was actually attacked by a dog.

Looking back, she found a black-haired monster baring its teeth, with a fierce face, scarlet and terrifying eyes, and hair as black and beautiful as silk, but its aura was abnormally evil, eerie, and frightening.

"Holy crap, is this a dog?!"

Wu Daogu shuddered and took a few steps back.

"Xiao Hei, they are guests, squat back!"

The Blood Demoness shouted in a low voice, and the big black dog immediately shut its mouth, wagged its tail, and showed a flattering smile. At the same time, it spoke in human language, "Ancestor's Wife, when will the master be back?"

Its words shocked Wu Daogu and the others even more.

They had thought it was a dog that was good at hiding its aura, but they didn't expect it to be a talking demon, and when they carefully sensed the fluctuations in its cultivation base, it was actually in the Saint Realm.

Wu Daogu and the others couldn't help but be horrified in their hearts.

Zhao Qishan's pupils shrank sharply, and he transmitted excitedly, "That's right, this is the dog that the villain brought back from Evil Wind Sea back then. I've seen it before."

Wu Daogu narrowed her eyes, her heart filled with awe.

Even a dog was in the Saint Realm, so the villain's cultivation base was probably even stronger. With this thought, Wu Daogu's desire for revenge lessened a lot. After all, the Red-Clothed Holy Maiden was already dead, and she was just an elder who was in charge of this matter back then. Why provoke a powerful enemy for no reason?

Ye Lin glanced at the big black dog. The evil aura on its body gave her a strange sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

"Let's go, let's go up the mountain to rest. Your Third Cousin-in-law should be back today."

The Blood Demoness urged, and Ye Lin didn't think too much about it. She withdrew her thoughts and followed the Blood Demoness up the mountain.

Along the way, the Green Mountain Sect disciples who saw the Blood Demoness all saluted respectfully, showing that her status was indeed very high and that she was living well here.

When they arrived at the mountain, there were disciples practicing swords or sabers in the square, but their techniques were crude. The few young people from the Ye family casually glanced at them and revealed looks of disdain.

Beside the waterfall and spring, a figure in a green robe was practicing boxing. His cultivation base had already reached the Saint Realm, and his aura was grand. Every move and stance had the aura of a grandmaster, and the boxing technique caused the void to rumble.

But there were traces of fierce beasts attacking in his moves, like a beast boxing technique with a not small origin.

Everyone looked sideways, and Ye Lin also nodded secretly.

The Blood Demoness smiled and said, "That's our Green Mountain Sect's Sect Leader, Chen Haishan. He received guidance from my man and is practicing the boxing technique he created."

Ye Lin was surprised. From this, she thought highly of the Blood Demoness's Dao companion. Being able to create such a boxing technique, he definitely had a deep understanding in the way of boxing.

At this time, the Blood Demoness called out "Sect Leader." Chen Haishan turned his head, his expression dull and serious. After the Blood Demoness introduced the origins of this group of people, he nodded and said with a faint smile, "So you are relatives of the Ancestor's Wife. Forgive me for not welcoming you properly."

After saying that, he turned back and continued to practice boxing.

The Blood Demoness shook her head and smiled helplessly, "The sect leader is just this kind of person, but he's actually very nice. Let's go, I'll take you to the Guest Hall to rest."

The Green Mountain Sect wasn't big. Although Chen Haishan was running, managing, and developing it, there were still only five or six hundred disciples.

Everyone had seen the world before. Small sects like the Green Mountain Sect were as numerous as hairs in the Cloud Mountain Realm, but when the Blood Demoness said that the Green Mountain Sect had been established for more than five hundred years, everyone was surprised.

A small sect like this could survive for five hundred years without being destroyed? That was truly rare!

In the evening, the sunset glow was like fire, illuminating the Green Mountain Sect with colorful and glazed light.

But at this time, a dark cloud flew in from the horizon, accompanied by lightning and thunder, howling winds, and a truly fierce evil aura rolling in. A huge blood-red shadow swam within it, its momentum terrifying.

Ye Lin was shocked and said, "Not good, that monster is coming!"

Wu Daogu and the others were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they planned to run away.

But at this time, the Blood Demoness giggled and said, "Don't panic, don't panic, that's my man coming home..."
