Chapter 161 Startled and Fleeing
Upon seeing Yu Jiaolong's sudden arrival, Chen Chunan, who had been hesitant about whether to get together with Zhenru, instantly felt relieved.
This is a being in the Mahayana stage who can ascend at any time. Now that she has appeared, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox has no chance of causing any trouble.
Chen Chunan was also curious as to why this person would come to the Ten Thousand Immortal Treasures Gathering.
Although this grand gathering is called the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, most of the items traded are things used by mortals.
Even if there are some rare and precious materials, it shouldn't attract a Mahayana cultivator, right?
But Chen Chunan was wrong.
Yu Jiaolong did not come for the Tribulation-Crossing Golden Pill as Huo Yunzi had guessed. She had already passed the Nine Heavenly Tribulations and could ascend at any time, so the Tribulation-Crossing Golden Pill was not of much significance to her.
But she was indeed drawn here by the sediment of the Milky Way.
It is said that the Beihai Immortal Abode will open soon, but no one can say for sure whether it will be within a few years or decades.
She is about to ascend to immortality, but lacks powerful magical treasures to aid her.
Hearing that the Dao Sect had brought out the Heavenly River Sand, a celestial-grade material, he decided to exchange it for some of his own celestial treasures.
Although it is not as good as the treasures left by ancient immortals, it is better to have something than nothing.
She had previously left a wisp of her divine consciousness on Chi Mianxi, originally to prevent her from encountering danger.
With this wisp of divine thought, she could directly reach Chi Mianxi's side at any time.
This is the only offspring of her disciple, Chi Jinxian. As long as she is still in the mortal realm, she must protect her every day.
She had just arrived at Chaotian Palace when she sensed that her grand-disciple was trapped, so she tore open space to get there.
Seeing his grand-disciple address him as "Grandmaster" as soon as he came up, his already cold and stern heart grew even colder.
Yu Jiaolong nodded to Chi Mianxi: "Grandmaster is here, everything will be alright!"
He then turned to the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox: "You sly fox from Beidang Mountain? Do you have a death wish?"
The Heavenly Fox had already sensed something was wrong when the Heavenly Fox Realm was torn apart, and now that it was actually the old dragon Yu Jiaolong, its fur stood on end.
"Yu Jiaolong? You're still alive? You survived the Nine Heavens Tribulation?"
The moment Tianhu said this, Su Lingyue, who had suffered an undeserved disaster and was still in a daze, instantly came to her senses.
Have you survived the Nine Heavens Tribulation?
A Mahayana cultivator? There are actually Mahayana cultivators still alive?
Wouldn't that mean we could ascend to heaven at any time?
When did Chen Chunan get involved with this kind of person?
No, that dragon seemed to have called Yu Jiaolong "Grandmaster".
She was actually the daughter of Chi Jinxian, the previous Dragon King of the Dragon Clan five hundred years ago.
In a short moment, Su Lingyue's mind raced, and after barely processing all the information, she looked at Yu Jiaolong and Chi Mianxi with a hint of awe.
At the same time, she was extremely glad that she had made the decision to befriend Chen Chunan.
Otherwise, he would needlessly invite a Mahayana-stage enemy into the clan's life, and he would truly lose sleep over it.
Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense due to her sudden predicament, was instantly put at ease again because of the relationship between Yu Jiaolong and Chen Chunan.
Meanwhile, Tianhu's heart was in his throat.
Not many people know that Yu Jiaolong is undergoing the Nine Heavens Tribulation, but the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox happens to be one of them.
However, she only sensed that Yu Jiaolong had undergone a tribulation in the North Sea, but she was not clear about the outcome of the tribulation.
She dared not touch even a trace of those killing tribulations specifically designed for those in the Tribulation Transcending stage and those accumulated from the Immortal Ascension Tribulation.
Moreover, in the past thousand years, only one pair of sea creature ancestors with great merit from the underwater spiritual veins have successfully transcended the tribulation. She originally thought that someone like Yu Jiaolong must have died during the tribulation to become an immortal.
Unexpectedly, he has reappeared today, and is now standing on the opposite side of himself.
Upon hearing the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's words, Yu Jiaolong's face grew even longer.
What does it mean to be alive?
Are you hoping I die?
"You vixen, how dare you curse me?"
Yu Jiaolong stared at the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox with a gloomy expression, as if she was about to make a move at any moment.
The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox immediately regretted her words, realizing that she had offended Yu Jiaolong in her haste.
"Fellow Daoist Yu Jiaolong, it was an slip of the tongue. But this matter has nothing to do with your grand-disciple. I am here to find the enemy who harmed my daughter. My daughter Yaoyao died after eating that thieving bald man's pill, but this Chen Chunan said that my daughter was not dead and even bought my daughter's body. That's why I came here to find him."
The Nine-Tailed Fox's sneer made Chen Chunan's lips curl slightly, while Mingxing Monk's lips twitched.
Upon hearing this, Yu Jiaolong sneered, "Ha! No matter what your reason is, it's not a reason for you to lay a hand on my grand-disciple. Besides, this kid might just become my grandson-in-law. You dare to touch him and see what happens?"
As Yu Jiaolong spoke, a small divine talisman slowly rose, radiating a vast aura.
A red aura slowly spread out, firmly blocking the celestial fox's path.
The nine-tailed celestial fox knew that her actions were futile.
She glanced at Chen Chunan with a conflicted expression, then her face suddenly hardened, and she flew towards Chen Chunan and the monk Mingxing.
Seeing that the nine-tailed celestial fox still dared to act presumptuously despite her intervention, Yu Jiaolong immediately roared, "You lowly servant! How dare you be so disrespectful!"
The divine talisman above his head instantly emitted a red light, striking the celestial fox figure directly.
However, the next moment, the figure was struck and scattered into a cloud of smoke.
But the fox spirit's figure had vanished completely.
Startled, Chen Chunan and the monk exchanged a glance.
A feint to the east while attacking in the west? A clever escape?
The Jade Dragon Divine Talisman missed its target, and its expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
She used a talisman that was designed to seal off the space and protect against foxes.
Even as a Mahayana cultivator, she couldn't see how the fox escaped that day.
He could only grumble, "That sly fox's escape skills are truly top-notch!"
Then Yu Jiaolong turned to Chen Chunan and asked, "What trouble have you caused this time?"
Chen Chunan rolled his eyes inwardly, thinking to himself, "Why did I get into this mess?"
Who knew this little fox had a mother who was undergoing tribulation?
If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have bothered with this mess. I've just gotten myself into this trouble for no reason.
But since Yu Jiaolong had just helped him out of a predicament, he naturally couldn't respond with harsh words.
He could only explain, "It wasn't me who provoked her, it was just a coincidence. It was all caused by this little thing, but she probably won't wake up for a while."
As he spoke, Chen Chunan directly pulled out the sleeping little fox.
Seeing this, Yu Jiaolong said strangely, "Why not just return this little fox? Why make an enemy of a cultivator undergoing tribulation? She's extremely good at escaping; if she's determined to run away, it will be difficult for me to stop her. Now that I'm still here, who will protect you if I leave this realm in the future?"
"This is a long story! Please allow me to tell you the tale, senior..."
...
half an hour later
Yu Jiaolong finally understood, and she couldn't help but reach out and pick up the little fox to examine it closely.
"His body was supple, yet he showed no breath."
Then she used her divine sense to invade the little fox's Niwan Palace.
For a long time, he still couldn't see the little fox hidden within the glimmer of inspiration that Chen Chunan had mentioned.
He immediately looked at Chen Chunan with a strange expression: "How did you find her primordial spirit? Although my divine sense has not fully transformed, it still possesses some immortal power. I see that her Niwan Palace is empty, with nothing there."
Chen Chunan only wanted to get rid of this troublesome matter quickly, so he immediately and without hesitation entered the little fox's Niwan Palace and stepped into that spiritual light.
The little fox's spirit was curled up in a ball, fast asleep.
Chen Chunan flicked the little fox on the head, waking him up.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
The little fox opened its big eyes angrily and glared fiercely at Chen Chunan, who had woken it up.
