Chapter 1271: Being Set Up

had hinted earlier in front of everyone that it was Liánróu who wanted to use such low-class means to enter the Yang family. Now, before Liánróu could speak, she denied the proposal."She's soft-spoke...When the ripples' form fell, her consciousness radiated outwards from herself like a hub, and then her face darkened, she couldn't even manage to complain.

"Master, how did we get transported to this spooky place"

The whirlwind whirled its head about, looking this way and that, and asked in a puzzled tone.

"The teleportation array was destroyed, we were tricked."

Ripple hugged the whirlwind, gently falling onto the top of a towering tree, and said with some resignation.

This is the mortal realm.

Feng felt the thin spiritual energy in the air and said with certainty.

"Well, it should be the mortal realm."

Liàn Yī was wielding a whirlwind, and she sighed emotionally. "Heaven's doing things big this time. To prevent her from interfering with the Air Luck child's opportunity, it separated them so decisively."

"Master, where shall we go next"

“It’s been a while since I left my tribe. I’m going back to visit my father and the others, and I’ll also see if Lian Xiye has reached the demon clan’s territory. If he’s sensible, he should just leave. But if he wants to loot resources from the demon clan and cause trouble, I’ll show him what demon cultivators are capable of.”

The fox's eyes narrowed in a ripple.

She felt that the teleportation array appearing in the Purple Moon Mountains was a bit too convenient, as if it were specifically prepared for Lian Yexue. This made her feel that his resources were insufficient, so he manually increased them for the other party.

This time's journey to the Endless Desert, because of her presence, the other party barely got anything good. They only received scraps that Ripple wouldn't even look at, while the dangers were numerous. Therefore, Heaven must have its eyes on the demon clan's things.

As is well known, the demon clan's territory has many precious natural treasures. Perhaps a seemingly insignificant blade of grass in the eyes of the demons could be the main medicinal ingredient for cultivators to refine pills, so the demon clan's territory is a place that cultivators yearn for.

But it's also a human-made restricted area. Once discovered by the demon clan after entering privately, you won't die but will be crippled. It's just unknown whether even Xiyè's luck is enough to support him in acquiring enough resources.

Of course, these are all speculations made by Lian'er based on the usual practices of the Heavenly Dao. Whether they are true or not will have to wait until she returns to the demon clan's territory.

Ripples leapt into the forest, striding along the path within. It seemed a leisurely walk, yet its speed was astonishingly fast.

A hunter in the mountains only felt a flash before his eyes, a red shadow flashed past. When he looked again, he only saw a red figure disappearing into the distance. He was so scared that he thought he had encountered a great demon practicing in the mountains, and hurried down the mountain to avoid being surrounded by wolves.

The ripples of aura made all the beasts in the human-less forest tremble with fear. They wouldn't dare go hunting, not even venturing out of their lairs, feeling unsafe everywhere they went. The entire forest was unnaturally silent, devoid of even the chirping of birds and the buzzing of cicadas.

After the ripples reached the town closest to the forest, it wandered around, buying some trinkets for the cubs of its clan, and then left the town, continuing on towards the junction between the human and yokai worlds.

At this time, a group of people had their eyes on Lianyi. They found her beauty captivating and alluring, and the fact that she was alone and wealthy made them think ill of her.

Before they could make their move, someone else approached them, also targeting Ripple. This person was wealthy and generous, offering a much larger sum of money. Their purpose was very clear: to buy Ripple to sacrifice in place of their own daughter.

Li ripples knew instinctively that she had a tail behind her, but she didn't care. When she learned she was going to be sacrificed, her eyes flashed. If she remembered correctly, this was the doing of a demon cultivator who was wreaking havoc in the mortal world.

The opponent was a yellow weasel spirit, in order to break through his cultivation, he actually used girls to cultivate. Of course, he wasn't stupid either. After enjoying the girl, he would also satisfy the wishes of the worshippers. Over time, it became a custom, and more and more believers came.

He still died at the hands of Lian Xiye and Feng Shuo Ying, Feng Shuo Ying used this as a handle to attack the original body, saying that demon cultivators were not good people, with one set of words on the surface and another behind the scenes, destroying the relationship between the original body and Lian Xiye.

The original being couldn't express their pain because, while the fox demon was a cultivator of demonic arts, it had never practiced within the demon clan's territory. Strictly speaking, it was an individual action of the fox demon and didn't represent the entire demon clan.

But unfortunately, the two of them already had a rift at that time, so the original body didn't explain much and prepared to tell the clan about it, asking the demon race to investigate thoroughly. They wouldn't let the reputation of the entire demon race be tarnished because of one fox spirit.

Unfortunately, she hadn't had time to send a message back before being plotted against by Lian Yexue and Feng Shuhui together.

Liàn Yī didn't expect that by not playing by the rules, she would accidentally send her to the human world and have an encounter with a fox spirit who hadn't yet matured. She decided to earn some merit for herself.

So when the two parties had just agreed and were about to exchange a deposit, Lianyi's figure appeared in the private room where they were discussing.

"Have you two made up Why didn't you tell me, the person involved"

The two of them suddenly turned their heads and saw the ripples right in front of them. It was exactly the target they had just plotted against. They were so scared that they lost their souls. At this moment, if they still didn't know that the other party was not an ordinary person, they would have lived in vain.

"Spare us, Immortal! We are blind to your greatness. Please, Immortal, show mercy!"

The bandit leader, capable of both flexibility and resilience, immediately knelt down begging for mercy.

The middle-aged man standing beside him also realized the situation was bad, and immediately bowed respectfully.

"Forgive me, Fairy. Lin was forced into this situation. I don't believe the village tales about the 'Old Immortal'. I didn't want my daughter to be sacrificed, so I came up with this desperate plan. Please, Fairy, spare my life."

The ripples from the sleeve strike sent the bandit leader flying out of the second-story window. He wasn't killed, but he was certainly seriously injured. It served as punishment for what they had done.

Mr. Lin was also taken aback by the ripple's sudden move. He hadn't expected the other party to strike directly, and his back instantly felt wet with sweat. His face turned pale as he trembled and knelt on the ground, bowing his head repeatedly:

"Fairy, spare my life."

"Your daughter's life is a life, but mine isn't If I don't have the ability, do you know what will happen to me if I replace your daughter"

Ripples said coldly.

Sometimes, just because your intention is to save people, doesn't mean you have a free pass. Because her daughter's life was paid for with someone else's.

"Fairy, I was wrong! Please forgive me, I only acted out of a father's love..."

Mr. Lin shivered and said.

"Hmph! If my father knew I was being plotted against, do you think your family would have any good end"

The ripples touched the whirlwind and said in a cold voice.

Based on Bai Shi's love for his daughter, it is estimated that it will cost their entire clan their lives.

“Spare me, fairy maiden! I’ll do anything you ask. I promise to make amends.”

Mr. Lin immediately bowed his head to the ground and said.

"Alright! Don't say I'm bullying you. I'll sacrifice for your daughter, but besides the money you need to survive, everything else has to be used for good deeds to make up for what you did to me."

"Okay, Lin [Name] agrees."

Although Mr. Lin outwardly agreed readily, inwardly he was regretting it bitterly. For his daughter, he had spent all his family wealth this time.

Ripple nodded in satisfaction, her figure disappearing once more. Before she vanished completely, a voice echoed into Lin Yuanwai's ear:

"Master Lin, everything is in order at your home. Before the ceremony, I will switch places with your daughter."t run, they would be dead.When dawn broke, the vast city of Haoyun finally fell silent. Armored soldiers patrolled the main street, and Yu Junyu, who had replaced the county magistrate killed by disas...
