The Ancestor of All Demons

Chapter 155: Task 154 of Deng Bagu


The person who arrived later did not descend to the ground, their body gathered within a streak of nine-colored rainbow light. Only a vague silhouette was visible as they unleashed several sword qi, aiding Zhuge Jingwo, Shen Tuhong, Ruan Zheng, and others to break free and fend off the demon's siege. With a wave of their hand, they shot out an extremely fine red-and-white bifurcated beam of light directly into the entwined Tianxuan Divine Sand and Heaven and Earth Quiet Circle. After a slight pause, there was a "bang" as the beam forcefully separated the Five-Colored Star Sand from the three light circles, and they urgently shouted, "Quick, retrieve your Magical Treasure!"

Ruan Zheng did not dare to delay, quickly shaking the Two-Phase Ring in his hand to summon the Divine Sand, while at the same time merging with his sword and transforming into a white light that shot into the sky.

Seeing this, Qian Kang and his wife also hurriedly used the Thousand Leaf Divine Thunder to break open a path and ascend to join the others.

Now that all five had reached the sky, the person waved their hand again, wrapping everyone in a vast expanse of Five-Colored Radiance. They streaked across the sky like a meteor, heading eastward and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The three young Mos were surprised by the newcomer's formidable force as they caught the returning rings. Suddenly, they heard something odd behind them. Turning around, they found Shi Feiyang had already awakened, reverted to human form, drenched in sweat, and weak. His temperature was feverishly high, and he looked exceedingly feeble.

This final molting was not as simple as shedding skin; it was akin to a metamorphosis of bone and flesh. He was even weaker than the previous time, and the inner core within his abdomen had begun to merge, transforming into a Dragon Ball and rendering it unusable. His Primordial Spirit was sticky with Essence Energy, tugging and pulling. He couldn't perform many Divine Power Techniques, especially not detach and fly from his body. If he tried to force it, he would become separated from his spirit and the evolution would immediately fail. Moreover, his body would become deformed, an irreversible condition, and he would only be able to be reborn and start his cultivation again.

Shi Feiyang sat on the ground with Miaomiao supporting him, first handing him a bowl of Dan tea and then using a towel to wipe his sweat.

"Brother!" the three children rushed over.

"I'm fine," Shi Feiyang reassured, his eyes gazing out into the sky. The person had come and gone so fast that on regaining consciousness, he had only managed to catch a fleeting glimpse.

It was a woman, wielding such magnificent nine-colored sword light, radiating a clear and cold aura...

He silently made a divination in his heart, deciphering the Gua Xiang: Beyond the Aurora Fire, yet not far away, a residence surrounded by water on all sides, an island. The name linked to the Metal of the Five Elements, a two-character personal name associated with the Wood of the Five Elements. Indirect hostility existed between them, involving two girls, Yan, Shen, Cun. The two girls had the surname Xie, names linked to palace ornaments...

It was Ye Bin, the Island Master of Golden Bell Island!

Shi Feiyang realized who the person was. That friend of the Xie family girls, Xie Ying and Xie Lin's honorary aunt. Golden Bell Island was not far from the Forty-Seven Islands. While the Forty-Seven Islands were home to various demons and those of the evil paths, Ye Bin belonged to the Orthodox Sect. She had declared more than once that she would cleanse the Forty-Seven Islands and exterminate all the demons residing there.

He began to silently contemplate his strategy. After a brief moment, a streak of sword light flew towards the entrance of the great hall. Landing and dissipating, it was Deng Bagu who entered to report, "Master."

Shi Feiyang gestured for her to come in, "Did you accomplish what I asked you to do?"

Deng Bagu nodded angrily, "Successfully, as you commanded!" She pulled out a Magical Treasure and handed it over. It was a shuttle-shaped Magical Treasure, about a ruler in length, with the Yu Golden Talisman embedded in it, half blue and half white, shimmering and still trembling slightly as if ready to take flight at any moment.

It turned out that Shi Feiyang had heard from Wu Longzi that disciples of Shenjun Zhenyue had been entangled by Qian Kang. He had therefore deduced this line of cause and effect. But when he looked carefully, he surprisingly discovered that they intended to use the Cosmic Spirit Shuttle to initiate a super earthquake to destroy this place completely. Luckily, from the divination, he could tell that Qian Kang wanted to acquire this place and would intervene to stop it.

Thus, he gave Deng Bagu a task on a slip of paper, instructing her to deal with those two individuals and retrieve the Cosmic Spirit Shuttle. If left in their possession, once the third day came, should he gain the upper hand, Qian Kang would be likely to compel them to activate the Cosmic Spirit Shuttle with all their might, actually shaking this place to its core!

Deng Bagu, having parted from Xiong Man, snuck underground. Seeing the earth's veins twisted and the water sources muddled, with many areas of rock and soil layers crumbled, she was incensed. This place, which everyone had painstakingly built together by refining the Five-Colored Divine Sand, was being destroyed to such an extent, angering Deng Bagu to the point of gritting her teeth.

Although she didn't take the initiative to illicitly harm others, she had a nickname: "The Scourge Lady." When her temper flared, she was not someone to be trifled with!

Deng Bagu, following the method Shi Feiyang had written on the paper, quickly located two disciples from Zhenyue Palace. To prevent them from escaping, she laid in wait, invisible by the fault lines underground, patiently biding her time. As the two flew by, she suddenly attacked, first pinning one down with the Earth Penetrating Divine Needle and sending her Flying Sword to bisect him at the waist. She then released the Snow Soul Pearl, its icy light freezing the other in a layer of ice, and used the Three Lights Tribulation Transformation Method to leave a clone in place while her true form turned invisible and flew off.

These two disciples from Zhenyue Palace were not weak in mana, but Deng Bagu's Invisibility Technique was incredibly mysterious, and they failed to see her. The sudden sneak attack killed one, and as the icy light hit the face of the other, he immediately merged with his sword, encasing his body in a sword light so intense that the air quickly froze around him, trapping him in ice. He hurriedly fused with his sword, smashing through the ice, barely an inch thick, and flew towards the "Deng Bagu" clone, striking it with his sword and shattering the clone into a scattering of clear light.

Just then, the real Deng Bagu appeared behind him and tossed the Snow Soul Pearl right at him.

Feeling the extreme cold assaulting his face, he knew that his Flying Sword and mana were no match for it, his only chance lay in the Mountain Treasure of his master—the Cosmic Spirit Shuttle 96!

He raised the Divine Shuttle and cast a spell to break the Snow Soul Pearl, but suddenly another Deng Bagu appeared by his side, using a movement technique to snatch the Cosmic Spirit Shuttle 96 away in a swift shadow, her Flying Sword shot out, and with a single strike, decapitated him!

In the moments before his death, his last thought was of the audacity of this woman, daring to steal the Cosmic Spirit Shuttle 96, didn't she know that it was the treasured artifact of Zhenyue Palace? Outsiders, even if they took it, couldn't use it, as long as the master cast a spell from afar, the treasure would immediately trigger a violent shake, the mildest result would blast the thief into dust, and at worst, it could cause landslides and earth fissures.

My master will avenge me...

That's how he met his end, fortunately, he did not see Deng Bagu seizing the Cosmic Spirit Shuttle 96 and immediately using the Yu Golden Talisman to suppress it, causing its brilliance to flicker, the Divine Shuttle went silent.

Shi Feiyang took the Cosmic Spirit Shuttle 96, felt its violent trembling, and chuckled softly, "Shenjun Zhenyue is trying to reclaim it with his spell now!"

By this time, the Aurora Fire had risen again and was growing stronger. Shenjun Zhenyue knew that the treasure had been taken and was casting to reclaim it, but he was helpless as the Yu Golden Talisman suppressed it, and the Aurora Fire acted as a barrier.

Shi Feiyang put away the shuttle, waved his hand, and the Yu Ding on the desk flew over to Deng Bagu, "Go and chase away those strange creatures. Those who refuse to leave, just collect them all into the Yu Ding."

"Yes!" Deng Bagu held the Yu Ding and went out.

Shi Feiyang wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling his mind in chaos and the surging of blood inside his body, which made it impossible for him to calm his spirit, but he still needed to gather his concentration and carefully calculate the enemy's movements, making plans for the next two nights.

He hadn't anticipated Ye Bin's arrival, which was an unexpected complication. He had considered the arrival of someone from the Emei Sect, even Xuan Zhenzi pulling the strings behind the scenes. He calculated again and again, both Xuan Zhenzi and the Ascetic Monk were in seclusion, and no elder from the Emei Sect would come. Yet, amidst scant clues, he discovered another peerless expert was plotting in the dark. But no matter how hard he calculated, he could not discern any traces of that person.

Because he held a grudge against the two women from Immortal City, he also calculated the causality line related to them, including but not limited to Xie Shan, Ye Bin, and the Divine Nuns of Xiao Han Mountain. The divinations showed none would come, proving there was a hole in his previous calculations due to Ye Bin's appearance.

And that expert plotting in the shadows was obviously not Ye Bin, who was still lurking, waiting to strike.

Shi Feiyang exerted all his Heart Power to suppress the tumultuous surge of blood, determined his heart, concentrating on calculations, while a vast amount of information tumbled and jumped in his mind. He calculated until his Primordial Spirit wavered, his soul trembled, and the blood ran in reverse, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He knew he could not continue, so he could only organize the parts he had already calculated, summarize them, and dissect the divinations.

He could only do his utmost, and he had to prepare for the worst!

He cultivated for only two hours, starting from the hour of Mao, then went under the sun to absorb the True Sun Fire, taking True Sun Essence to increase the firepower, exerting his greatest effort to solidify his foundation and cultivate his essence.

After the hour of Wu, he was extremely tired. By this time, the enemies outside had been repelled, and Deng Bagu returned holding the Yu Ding, having collected over four thousand various spirits.

Shi Feiyang called his disciples to his side, and like the day before, he wrote them each a letter. The letters were all blank, and only at the right time would the text appear, assigning each person their tasks.

After finishing all this, he sent everyone away, and sat alone to rest. As the hour of You arrived, he started taking True Water and began his cultivation...

However, the one who rescued Ruan Zheng and the others was the Island Master of Golden Bell Island, Ye Bin.

Because she lived nearby and was always at odds with the demons of the Forty-Seven Islands, she paid close attention to the happenings here. She learned from their conversations that a Demon Dragon in Outer Heaven Divine Mountain was about to undergo tribulation, possessing an extremely powerful inner core, so fierce that even the Myriad Cold Centipede, who had been universally feared, died by its hand. If she could obtain its inner core, her cultivation could increase by a thousand years and consuming a piece of its dragon flesh could extend life by ten years.

Through divination, Ye Bin actually deduced the Demon Dragon was the same one that had harmed the sisters of the Xie Family on Immortal Mountain years ago!

Back in the day, Shi Feiyang trapped the Xie sisters on Dinghu Peak, stole the two strands of Xin Metal Sword Qi given by their adoptive father Xie Shan, as well as the ancient treasure Cave Spirit Zither given by their godmother, the fairy Cui Wu of the Biwu Immortals, and finally, he dug a big pit, causing the villagers to build statues and temples for the Xie father and daughter, praying earnestly every day, with offerings of incense...
