Volume 6 Chapter 112: Anluo

The "Pi Xiu," along with the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Kylin, is one of the only ancient demon beasts with the title of "Mythical Beast," which already highlights its uniqueness and strength.

The "Pi Xiu" shook its silver fur slightly, and suddenly, countless silver hairs shot out from its body. These transformed into myriad beams of silver light, aimed at the blood mist and vengeful spirits in front of it. Wherever the light touched, the endless blood mist quickly melted away like the first snow meeting the morning sun, while the vengeful spirits, sensing the Pi Xiu’s might, screamed and fled into the distance. However, the silver light was too fast; no matter how the spirits tried to escape, they could not avoid the fate of being struck and turning to ash in an instant.

From a distance, the "Pi Xiu" appeared like a small silver sun, dazzling and prominent, with an air of majesty and divinity, truly deserving of the title "Mythical Beast."

The "Pi Xiu," also known as "Dispelling Evil," is called a Mythical Beast partly because of its powerful ability to control all things impure in the world. Often, with just a flash of silver light, large areas of blood mist and vengeful spirits would be cleared. Although it only had the strength of an Earth-level beginner, its speed in eliminating the spirits and blood mist was second only to the eleven masters, and its ease and skill surpassed even them.

Notably, after eliminating a certain number of vengeful spirits and blood mist, the "Pi Xiu" would take a deep breath, causing the weakened, almost dissipating impurities and incomplete spirits to rush into its body. After consuming this energy, the silver light around the "Pi Xiu" became even brighter.

However, no one expected that the "Pi Xiu" actually fed on these impure forces. After continuously consuming impure energy for over ten days, the "Pi Xiu’s" strength clearly surpassed that of the "Yellow Bird" and Little Green. If nothing unexpected happened, once the blood mist and vengeful spirits created by Zhang Xusheng’s explosion were mostly eliminated by the Righteous Alliance, the "Pi Xiu" would be close to evolving to Earth-level middle class.

Compared to the brilliance of the "Pi Xiu," the size of the "Yellow Bird," and the fierceness of Little Green, Bai Yu’s spirit pet — the ancient demon beast "Six-eared Macaque" — was the least noticeable. It constantly jumped around Bai Yu’s feet, sometimes making funny faces at those nearby, and was the most active among the spirit pets.

The spirit pet is not as impressive and noticeable as the two elder martial sisters, and that has probably been Bai Yu’s biggest worry lately.

The "Six-eared Macaque" looks like an ordinary gray monkey at first glance, but if you look closely, you’ll see it has three pairs of ears hidden in its thick gray fur.

Bai Yu knows the value of the "Six-eared Macaque." Its special power is "heavenly listening and earthly sight." Ever since he made the "Six-eared Macaque" his spirit pet, Bai Yu discovered that his senses had improved many times over. He could feel every movement within hundreds of miles through the connection with the "Six-eared Macaque," giving him a keen sense almost as good as a Golden Core Stage master. One chaotic battle between the "Six-eared Macaque" and Little Green further proved that its fighting ability is comparable to any ancient demon beast. It is incredibly strong and agile, with a sturdy body and a talent for mimicry. During this time, the "Six-eared Macaque" learned all the martial arts Bai Yu knew, but every time Bai Yu sees how ordinary the "Six-eared Macaque" looks, he can’t help but shake his head and sigh.

It’s worth mentioning that Xu Qingfan’s first spirit pet was a "Dark Crow," called "Little Black" because it was all black. Later, he adopted a golden kylin and named it "Little Gold," which was quite boring. His three disciples followed the same pattern: the "Blue-eyed Cloud-hoofed Beast" was called "Little Green," the "Pixiu" was named "Little White" because it was white when it was born, and the "yellow bird" was naturally called "Little Yellow" by Zhang Ningmei. Bai Yu named the "Six-eared Macaque" "Little Gray," following Xu Qingfan’s uninteresting naming style, which is fitting for a master and his students.

Bai Yu had thought about giving his spirit pet a more impressive name, but looking at Little Gray, which seemed almost like an ordinary monkey, he ultimately shook his head and gave up.

Even though Little Gray is so ordinary, many knowledgeable cultivators quickly recognized its true nature, not to mention Little Yellow and Little White. It’s no wonder that people from the Righteous Alliance often looked at Ting’er, Bai Yu, and Zhang Ningmei.

Since the cultivation world began, fewer than ten people have been able to tame ancient demon beasts as spirit pets. Those ten people later became well-known figures in the cultivation world thanks to the power of their spirit pets. Now, three people possessing ancient demon beasts as spirit pets appeared before them, and these three not only stood out in the younger generation but also had an unlimited future. They were all disciples of the same person, which certainly surprised many cultivators.

"A ‘yellow bird,’ it really is a ‘yellow bird’!"

"The ‘Six-eared Macaque,’ I have only seen its picture in ancient books. I never expected to see it in person in my lifetime."

"Is that a ‘Tāo Tiè’? Why does it look so strange?"

"Mythical Beast ‘Pixiu’! It is actually a Mythical Beast ‘Pixiu’! This kind of Mythical Beast really exists? I always thought it was just a rumor."

This kind of exclamation has been ringing in Ting’er and her friends’ ears for more than a month. Even though those cultivators have examined these spirit pets countless times in the past month, seeing them again still brings out gasps of amazement and envy. If Bai Yu weren’t worried about Xu Qingfan’s safety, he would probably have already flaunted these spirit pets among the cultivators of the Righteous Alliance countless times.

Compared to the amazement and envy of the ordinary cultivators, the discussions among the sect leaders and masters are much deeper.

"That Xu Qingfan is remarkable! He managed to get his disciples these ancient demon beasts as spirit pets."

The speaker is a sect leader from a certain group, but by the way he speaks, he seems to be considering whether he should ask to become Xu Qingfan’s disciple to obtain an ancient demon beast egg. One ancient demon beast egg is worth almost two or three times what his sect has accumulated over hundreds of years.

"Yes, it seems that no matter how hard Hua Xian and the others try, with just the spirit pets in the hands of Xu Qingfan’s three disciples, Xu Qingfan’s position as the top master is unshakeable."

The speaker does not know that at this moment, Xu Qingfan has already become a great master; otherwise, he would be even more astonished.

"Don’t just look at those spirit pets; Xu Qingfan’s three disciples are impressive as well. At such a young age, they have achieved such cultivation; their future achievements are limitless."

A master said.

"Xu Qingfan has these three disciples. His Jiuhua lineage will shine brightly in the coming hundreds of years."

Another master nodded, his tone unclear whether it was admiration or warning.

Under everyone’s gaze, the disciples of Jiuhua, as well as those close to Xu Qingfan, took the chance to promote their supported Xu Qingfan, claiming how powerful he was and how the advanced demon beast eggs in his hands weighed in pounds. They all looked proud, as if they were Xu Qingfan himself, and for a while, they attracted many followers for Xu Qingfan.

In a month filled with amazement and envy, only one person stood out with eyes full of jealousy and resentment. This person was Gongsun Huasa, the Jiuhua Supreme Elder, who had lost power to Xu Qingfan for many years. With these three as his disciples, he felt even more unable to compete with Xu Qingfan.

…

Thus, the cultivators of the Righteous Alliance were driving away the blood mist and vengeful spirits while marveling at Ting’er and the other three’s spirit pets, and for a moment, no one noticed anything else. They even forgot about Anluo, who had already been subdued by Zizhen and others.

At that moment, Anluo lay on the edge of "Black Glory Valley," unable to move at all, silently watching the Righteous Alliance disperse the blood mist and vengeful spirits.

Earlier, the eleven masters had been cautious of Anluo’s strangeness, always assigning someone to keep watch beside him. However, after Anluo remained still for ten days, they overlooked him.

At this moment, the power of Immortal Zizhen’s blood had faded, and Anluo returned to his original appearance, his long hair hiding his face. Beneath his hair, two faint green lights glowed. Mysterious and frightening.

When Anluo noticed that the members of the Righteous Alliance were no longer watching him, he let out a soft laugh. Suddenly, the skin all over Anluo’s body cracked open silently, and a huge amount of blood began to flow out quietly, as if it was endless, moving towards the location of the Righteous Alliance members. The blood that poured out, if piled up, would be many times larger than Anluo’s body.

At this time, as time went on, many cultivators had descended from the sky to the ground, either taking a rest or simply wanting to save some energy. The air was filled with blood mist, yet no one noticed that blood was quietly seeping out beneath their feet, silently entering their bodies through their shoes.

Meanwhile, the seven monsters that had been killed by the eleven masters of the Righteous Alliance began to have countless amounts of blood appear silently around their bodies, and this blood quietly flowed into the corpses of these demon beasts.

Eighty percent of Anluo’s powers relied on blood. After his body merged with the blood of others, he would gain their abilities and strength for a period of time. But what would happen if his blood merged into someone else’s body?
