1303 Rooster's crow

ant to see what's going on. Is it related to the piece of wood we brought back""Well, go then," he said faintly. "Take your seal with you and recite the sacred scriptures well. Don't be polite to thos...Some people, perhaps due to fate or because they are naturally predisposed, are more susceptible to the influence of sinister and aggressive energies on their minds.

Such people, whether actively or passively, have sown the seeds of karma.

Before, Zhou Lao Yao said that the men of their family all had bloodline imprints passed down through generations. Some people might live their whole lives without much impact, but if they need to use the imprint, they will die.

It's as if one's fate is being held in someone else's hands.

These marked people, they are just tools...Like Chongmo said, they're just ants.

"It's time..." Chong Mo murmured to himself, suddenly pulling out a small, icy object.

I couldn't see what it was. He made a little monster's fang prick my finger, squeezing out a drop of blood, which he pressed on top.

A burst of icy malice mingled with blood at his fingertips, like an electric shock, it sparked across his skin before settling into a chilling stillness.

About seven hundred and eighty years ago, there was a catastrophe in the human world. This was when our artifacts left behind in the human world, Old Zhou's ancestors happened to have one... Now the Old Zhou family is gone, this one, I'll give it to you.

"I don't want to..."

"You have to make this work. Your blood wasn't formed into a contract before, so it should be fine this time…" He frowned: "We aren't like you mortals. We don't need all that fuss with matchmakers and six ceremonies, and in the end, it's just men being callous and women being frigid. All we need is to press our blood seal."

Huh

"...Betrayal, it's you die or I live, how simple." He scoffed, glancing at the black mist behind the offering table.

"With your cultivation, it's certainly impossible to cross realms, and I don't know if this blood pact will work... Let's try it."

I don't want to try!

Chongmo snapped his fingers, and a small monster with a big belly landed on his shoulder. Its eyes glowed yellow, staring at me intensely.

He placed the weapon, smeared with my blood at the tip, onto his shoulder. The little monster reached out to take it.

Vaguely, I saw the artifact, similar to a small figurine.

Opportunity....

He now only has one hand gripping my wrist.

Zixiao Ruyi... I looked up at the rickety altar, and there it was, the Zixiao Ruyi.

"Take this, wear it across the boundary, and show it to Your Majesty to see if it's useful"—Chong Mo commanded the little monster.

The little monster with a big belly carefully held the terracotta figurine and turned to jump on the ground.

My reversed-folded fingers, secretly interlocked, my right and left index and middle fingers firmly pinched together, my thumbs pinching the Chinese characters, silently reciting the incantation — Divine Tiger Summoning Soul!

"Huh" He seemed to feel my finger movements and turned his head!

Fortunately, he held my hands together and distracted himself by handing out the blood-stained figurine.

A roar like a fierce tiger shook the air, and with one mighty paw from thin air, the divine tiger crushed the little monster clutching its doll into a bloody pulp.

Kara… The blood-stained doll landed on the old stone slab, and another little monster rushed over to grab it, its chubby body struggling.

Sometimes I can't control the size of my Shenhu. When I'm pregnant or panicking, the Shenhu I summon is sometimes as small as a mastiff and sometimes as big as a hill.

Actually, common-sized tiger are the most convenient to hunt for prey.

This time... this time it clearly failed again!

The crimson surge in Chong Mo's eyes sent my heart racing. What if I angered him Would he suddenly open the seal on his body and unleash himself to tear me apart

The Shen family's treasure vault, the mark on my uncle was opened, and a monster with the head of a human and the body of a serpent once ran out.

What will happen this time!

He twisted my shoulders viciously, the intense pain nearly causing me to faint—was my arm broken

"You woman! You seem weak and submissive, yet you harbor a rebellious spirit! I've already shown mercy, yet you still refuse to obey. Perhaps your hands need to be cut off!" He gritted his teeth, as if struggling to contain himself.

He couldn't bear to part with this useful body.

The Divine Tiger's form stabilized, transforming into a towering figure like an ox. A roar shook the tiles of the house!

Two little monsters that were previously guarding my hand chased after the blood-stained clay figurine, one of them grabbed the figurine and leaped into the black vortex behind the table.

I didn't have time to stop him, the Divine Tiger rushed to save me first and didn't even bother with that little monster.

Shun dodged the tiger's snapping jaws, tilting his head slightly—just enough to avoid that gaping maw!

I rushed forward and picked up the Zixiao Ruyi. My left arm ached as soon as I moved it, so I could only bite down on the Zixiao Ruyi and use my right hand to pinch the incantation.

Heaven and earth are natural, filthy qi disperses, the cave is profound and mysterious, brightly shining primordial origin, deities from all directions, make me natural... The Demon King bows his head, guarding my platform.

The filth dissipates, the Taoist Qi remains eternal!

As the incantation finished, the vision before my eyes, which had been veiled in darkness, became clear.

A cultivator first needs to keep their spiritual awareness clear, and second, the environment they are in must be clear. Where there is chaos, one must exorcise evil spirits and break curses—I suspect this is Jiang Qiyun's "teaching" directed at me.

Before, Chong Mo mentioned in passing: Most of the scenery here has already merged, and it's difficult to leak the aura before dawn.

Here, it should be like Tangtang's house, only by being in it can you discover the abnormality.

Jiang Qiyun said that I can not learn anything else, just purifying heaven and earth and breaking evil must be learned.

Because, that's the only way to —

"Your hand... what happened to it" A cold, clear voice came from behind me.

River, rise!

I didn't have time to turn around before a blast of stench exploded in front of me—the beast's gaping maw appeared out of nowhere, and I wasn't even big enough to fit between its teeth!

"Waaah…" The beast's cry was like a shrill, piercing wail.

I thought it was going to swallow me whole, but its teeth stopped just in front of my face. The stench of blood stung me all over, but it didn't bite down.

“Caw!…” Jiang Qiyun’s chain snagged the ferocious beast’s gaping maw.

He frowned, appearing beside me, coldly staring at the silent figure before us: "...It seems I was careless. The Demon God Realm can no longer contain you."

After taking a few steps back, Chong silently sneered, "With the ominous star shining brightly, it's time for us to move."

Jiang Qiyun snorted coldly: "The price of the event... is very high..."

He flicked his sleeve, his dark robe billowing without wind. From his hand, a white translucent longsword materialized.

Chong Mo acted with confidence, shrugging his shoulders and saying: "These mortal ants' bodies are nothing to us. We've been keeping the ways of living beings for thousands of years, and there are still plenty left. Even the Emperor wouldn't be able to kill them all... Besides, as a deity, killing mortals would incur such great sin."

Jiang Qiyun chuckled lightly: "You sure talk a lot."

No sooner had he spoken than he suddenly drew his sword.

That sword, soul-sunderer, spirit-breaker.

"Don't..." I couldn't stop him.

I don't want Jiang Qiyun to accrue karma. Sometimes, even when I find myself in danger, I don't want him to know.

Jiang Qiyun is different from me.

I resolve karma, good and bad, that is my practice.

His involvement in worldly affairs is his karmic burden.

Sword qi like electricity, plunged into Chong Mo's side, he frowned and looked at Jiang Qiyun in confusion.

Jiang Qiyun's expression was cold and arrogant, and he said coldly: "You injured her hand, this seat will disable your arm as punishment... You can only be confined to your human form, unable to fight with all your might. To kill you would make this seat appear dishonorable."

Chong Mo was stunned for a moment, his crimson eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames. He grinned wildly, Jiang Qiyun's words, as if igniting the fire in his blood!

Hiss....

The giant maw suddenly let out a strange sigh.

Chongmo raised an eyebrow, as if receiving an order, and immediately ran towards the door. Shenhu let out a long roar and followed him outside.y cooped up in your room!" The fifth senior sister said, crossing her arms.I shrank my neck and dared not reply, there was indeed a bit of…"Well, big brother bought you a new phone again, the latest m...
