Chapter 1408: Nine Spirit

Ling Qianxue’s chest stood tall and trembled intensely, and Su Yi could clearly feel Ling Qianxue’s sincere fear and reverence in his heart!

Judging from the arrangement of the statues in the stone chamber and the scene before them, they had indeed intruded into the ancestral altar of the spirit cats.

After a few moments, Ling Lanyin looked at Ling Qianxue, her voice still icy, but her expression softened slightly, with a hint of hidden and subtle injuries flickering in her eyes.

"Are you the only one left?"

Thinking of the Nine Lives Cat Demon clan, who had suffered a tragic fate, Ling Qianxue clenched her fists, and a misty fog covered her beautiful and sorrowful face.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, the entire Nine Lives Cat Demon clan… has been completely wiped out."

Ling Lanyin’s gaze darkened, revealing a chilling undertone in her deep eyes. She closed her eyes tightly, as if recalling past memories.

"Nine Lives Cat Demon is one of my Nine Spirit Heavenly Cats. Now the whole clan is gone, leaving you alone in the world. Follow me inside and tell me everything!"

After speaking, Ling Lanyin’s eyes flickered and a magical energy surged around her. There was no overwhelming pressure, just a gentle embrace that enveloped Su Yi and Ling Qianxue.

Immediately, Su Yi’s mind cleared, and a purple magical light drifted like a whirlpool in his heart, creating a massive tornado that reverberated within him for a long time.

"Impressive! Definitely the strongest opponent I’ve encountered so far."

Su Yi was secretly amazed. He tried to sense Ling Lanyin’s cultivation level with his soul but felt his spiritual power trapped at the depths of the ocean. He felt like a drifting boat with no place to land, filled with shock.

With a thought, Su Yi opened his eyes again, and he and Ling Qianxue found themselves in a lush forest. A towering ancient tree stood right in the center.

The ancient tree reached the sky, with twisted and tangled roots that resembled a coiled dragon, rising straight into the clouds.

In the middle of the enormous tree, there was a hollow space with a fiery red egg emitting a powerful magical energy. The pressure was intense, and the aura was overwhelming.

Su Yi trembled slightly. Could this be the great demon about to be born?

Under the tree stood Ling Lanyin and four women, each with a slender figure and graceful demeanor, all unique in their own way, affectionately looking at themselves.

Su Yi immediately felt dazzled by the beauty of these women.

The atmosphere was filled with delightful smiles, so wonderful that it felt unreal, and Su Yi felt like he was on cloud nine.

The mysterious woman from before was among them, looking enchanting and radiant, gazing at herself and Ling Qianxue confidently.

Ling Qianxue led Su Yi with heavy steps and respectfully walked to the bottom of the ancient tree, slowly bowing to Ling Lanyin and the other women, showing great devotion. Ling Lanyin had her back turned and didn’t turn around.

Ling Qianxue softly introduced Su Yi, explaining that these women were the founders of the Nine Spirit Heavenly Cat. The Nine Spirit Heavenly Cat was formed by these present goddesses.

Su Yi noticed that each woman had a different number of tails behind them, and he immediately understood that the number of tails determined their status among the Heavenly Cat clan.

Ling Lanyin had nine tails, being the founder and the grandest Nine Spirit Heavenly Cat ever born in the world.

The mysterious woman beside them gave a charming smile upon seeing Su Yi, her eight tails behind her swaying with excitement.

Behind the mysterious woman, there was another woman who was around the same age as Ling Lanyin and the mysterious woman, but their appearances were very different.

The graceful woman had a gentle voice and a hint of black hair tied behind her head. She nodded to Su Yi and Ling Qianxue, with a slight smile on her face, looking very elegant.

Beside the gentle woman were a pair of sisters who dressed similarly and looked very alike. Their sparkling eyes were charming, but when they met Su Yi’s gaze, they turned their heads away.

"Stinky man!"

"Me!"

Su Yi immediately got upset and was about to retort, but when he looked at Ling Lanyin in front of him, he decided to keep quiet. She was someone on the same level as Garuda and the old dragon, so he didn’t dare to be impudent.

Ling Lanyin silently stared at the mysterious object in front of the tree, unmoving as if frozen in time. Su Yi stopped talking immediately and silently cursed at the sisters next to him.

Ling Qianxue continued to whisper to Su Yi, "Su Yi, you must not be rude. The person in front of us is Nine Lives Cat Demon’s ancestor, Lanyin’s ancestor, and the second ancestor of the Nine Spirit Heavenly Cat, the founder of the Miao Yin Clan."

The term "Nine Spirit Heavenly Cat" refers to Ling Lanyin, the largest nine-tailed cat god in the world, as well as symbolizes the founding ancestor of the Heavenly Cat Clan with nine tails. Therefore, it is called Nine Spirit.

After that, Ling Qianxue, with the vague memories inherited from her family, pointed to the gentle woman and introduced, "This should be the third ancestor, Ling Shuangyin, and behind her are the fourth and fifth ancestors, Ling Zhiyin and Ling Ruoyin."

Su Yi was suddenly surprised. After being introduced, he realized that this place was actually the headquarters of the spirit cat clan, where all nine founding ancestors were present. Su Yi couldn’t help but wonder why he only saw five ancestors and the others were nowhere to be found.

Just as Su Yi was about to speak, a small figure jumped down from the top of the cloud-covered giant tree. Su Yi realized it was the mysterious little girl from earlier, and his head immediately started to ache.

"You naughty boy, what are you staring at? I am also an ancestor, my name is Ling Muyin!"

Su Yi looked at the few ancestors in front of him. They didn’t seem friendly and didn’t seem to want to talk to him. He could only joke with the little girl.

In his heart, Su Yi thought that even this little girl was an ancestor, so it seemed that these nine ancestors were not to be underestimated. He just didn’t know to what extent their power would suppress him.

"Your name is Ling Muyin, a very nice name. Oh, your head wound healed so quickly?"

Su Yi saw that the small girl’s forehead had already returned to its smooth and flawless state. There was no trace of the burn marks from earlier.

"You dare to say that! If it weren’t for my sister treating my injury first, how could it have healed so quickly! If I were disfigured, I wouldn’t spare you. Playing with fire is nothing impressive!"

Ling Muyin pouted and looked angry at Su Yi.

Su Yi shrugged helplessly, then fell silent and looked around but didn’t see Yang Ming.

Ling Muyin blinked her big, cute eyes and hopped over to Su Yi.

"You naughty boy, what bad ideas are you plotting? Everyone here is on my side, so be careful!"

Ling Qianxue seemed to read Su Yi’s thoughts and energetically whispered into his ear.

"Don’t worry, Yang Ming should have been sent away by the ancestors. There are many restrictions here, so random people shouldn’t be able to come in."

Su Yi suddenly realized that his worries were unnecessary. Thinking back to his question earlier, he hadn’t seen the other ancestors.

He quietly pulled Ling Muyin aside and asked in a soft voice.

"Ancestor Mu Yin, can I ask you a question?’

Ling Muyin’s eyes filled with joy as Su Yi respectfully called out to her. She was a bit surprised but then proudly raised her head and imitated him, saying, "What’s the matter? Speak quickly, I am very busy!"

"What’s wrong? Speak up, I am busy!" said Ling Muyin.
