Chapter 731: Chapter 365: The Vengeance of the Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor_2
Lin Yi, however, showed not the slightest intention to defend or dodge, but continued to sit in front of the Monster Ancestor of the Golden Peng Clan, without even turning his head.
Now, his realm was at the mid-stage of Refining Void, and his strength could only exert power close to that of Crossing Tribulation, insufficient to withstand the attack of this Tribulation Demon Patriarch.
As for employing a further invincible effect, he figured it wouldn’t take many steps and wouldn’t have much significance.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
If it were in his own Cave Mansion, he naturally wouldn’t do this, but now, he was in the Cave Mansion of the Monster Ancestor of the Golden Peng Clan, who surely wouldn’t stand by idly and watch him get attacked.
Actually, the more important reason was the powerful effect of his “Predict Crisis” title, which allowed him to foresee life and death crises in advance.
Before coming to receive guidance today, he had used the Predict Crisis title once and no life or death crisis had emerged, which was his biggest reliance.
Indeed, just as the attack from the Fox Demon Ancestor was about to reach him, the Monster Ancestor of the Golden Peng Clan suddenly made a move, a flash of golden light appeared on Lin Yi, blocking the attack.
The Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor did not attack again but looked toward the Monster Ancestor of the Golden Peng Clan with a grim expression, “Golden friend, why do you obstruct me? This serpent harbors ill intentions, desiring to divide our Fox Clan. Today, he must be taught a lesson.”
The Monster Ancestor of the Golden Peng Clan replied with a faint smile, “White friend, this is my Cave Mansion, and moreover, our brother Long Ao is also one of our Demon Tribe. You attacking him so rashly without discerning right from wrong seems quite inappropriate.”
Just then, the Demon Ancestors of the Rat Tribe and Wolf Clan who lived nearby heard the commotion and rushed over, and the Serpent Demon Ancestor from the Serpent Region, in the body of a Serpent, hurried towards the Demon Saint Palace.
“What has just happened?” the Serpent Demon Ancestor descended from the sky and touched the ground, only to revert to human form. He too had aged even more after several hundred years.
The Monster Ancestor of the Golden Peng Clan smiled and began to speak, “It’s good that all three friends are here. Just now, our friend White barged into my Cave Mansion without explanation, furiously intent on killing brother Long. I had to stop him.”
The Serpent Demon Ancestor’s face showed anger as he stated gravely, “Friend White, that was somewhat excessive. Though there is enmity between brother Long and your Fox Clan, he has never taken the initiative to attack your clan. Yet, you still seek retribution, your Fox Clan is truly sinister and vicious.”
“Friend White, we can discuss matters. Breaking into the Golden friend’s Cave Mansion and trying to kill Long is indeed going too far,” the Demon Ancestors of both the Rat Tribe and Wolf Clan echoed in agreement.
Seeing that the Demon Ancestors from the four clans were leaning towards Long Ao, the Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor’s face showed a gloomy color, “You say he’s never actively moved against my Fox Clan. That was indeed the case before, but now, through some means, he’s continuously ‘purifying’ our clan members.”
“He’s even caused them to change their beliefs, spewing words about being good demons and harboring kind intentions. As members of the Demon Tribe, they now feel remorse for taking lives, are these still demons?” the Fox Clan Demon Ancestor said, getting so angry he began cursing aloud.
“This is an attempt to dissolve my Fox Clan. It was only a few members of the Transformation stage or Void Refinement stage before, but a few days ago, even a Great Demon of the Fusion Stage was purified. If this continues, in a few thousand years, my Fox Clan will become a bunch of things that wouldn’t dare to kill a chicken,” he continued.
The other three Demon Ancestors listened expressionlessly, barely suppressing their amusement inside. They were, of course, aware of the situation, but with the misfortune falling on the Fox Clan, they had no objections.
These ‘purified’ members of the Fox Clan had indeed seemed to have a change of heart. Bearing kind intentions, they would even rescue injured lower-level Monster Beasts they encountered in the wild, which they would have finished off in the past under the premise of helping them escape from suffering.
Such a transformation had filled their hearts with shock; it was utterly unbelievable, akin to something only an Immortal could accomplish.
Only then did Lin Yi slowly turn around, still sitting on the ground, and spoke indifferently, “Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor, I have said that I have no interest in the conflicts of this world, and I certainly won’t involve myself in your clan’s affairs.”
“Some of your Fox Tribe’s creatures still have benevolence in their hearts and yearn for the light, aspiring to become revered auspicious beings like the Nine-tailed Fox. How could I have the heart to refuse them?”
“Everything they did was of their own volition, not because I forced them. You should know that.”
“Instead of trying to teach me a lesson, it would be better for your Fox Tribe to embrace evil completely and abandon any shred of kindness. Then, no one would come to me seeking the light.”
The Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor glared at Lin Yi, his gaze darkening to the extreme, “Long Ao, you are simply twisting words to suit your purpose. It is all because you, by some means, altered the Primordial Spirits of three Fusion stage members of our tribe, causing them to stir up trouble within the clan and to coax others into accepting purification. This is your sinister method.”
Lin Yi sneered, “If your clansmen had no kindness in their hearts, why would they be tempted by the light? Perhaps you should reconsider the Cultivation practices of your Fox Tribe, filled with Yin Evil Qi. Even if they ascend, they will only be despised in the Immortal Realm.”
“I am currently helping your Fox Tribe to continue its lineage. You might not thank me, but it is ironic that you wish to teach me a lesson. As I’ve said before, watch over your people well, let all of them heed the call of evil, and I will have fewer troubles too.”
The four other Demon Ancestors also spoke up, “White friend, what Dragon friend says makes sense. It’s all voluntary for your clansmen. How can you blame others?”
“Yes, if the hearts of your Fox Tribe are filled with evil, even the most eloquent of outsiders cannot persuade them to accept purification.”
“Within a tribe, there should be different paths of Cultivation. Only then can there be a flourishing like that of the Human race. Forcing your clansmen to only Cultivate the Dark Arts is rather overbearing. Like my Rat Tribe, we also have clansmen who are unwilling to harm the Human race. I won’t compel them, nor will I stop them.”
In the end, the Monster ancestor of Golden Peng Clan made a conclusion, “White friend, you are indeed blaming the wrong person by seeking out Dragon friend. Your Fox Tribe has long been Cultivating underground in Fox Mound, absorbing Yin Evil Qi, and it is unavoidable that some suppressed feelings emerge. Some clansmen harboring thoughts of kindness and wishing to change their path of Cultivation is quite normal. Perhaps you should take a more measured approach.”
Hearing the words of the four Demon Ancestors, the Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor swept a dark glance around and finally burst into laughter, “It’s laughable that the four great Tribulation Demon Patriarchs actually follow the lead of a mere Serpent. You will regret this eventually.”
Having said that, he tore through the sky and left.
Lin Yi watched the Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor’s retreating figure, knowing that before he achieved Fusion, he couldn’t leave Big Monster City. Otherwise, this Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor would likely take action against him.
After Fusion, he needn’t worry too much. With the Aura of Creation from three sources combined into one, even those overcoming Tribulation would hardly be his match.
Turning back, he bowed to the four Demon Ancestors, “Many thanks to the four Elders for your assistance. Otherwise, I might have perished here today.”
“Dragon friend, no need for such courtesies. You are also one of our Demon Tribe. White friend indeed went too far,” said the Monster ancestor of Golden Peng Clan, waving his hands with a smile.
The Rat Clan Demon Ancestor kindly warned, “Dragon friend, don’t leave Big Monster City in the recent days. I suspect White friend has not given up yet.”
“Thank you for the warning, Elder. There is a lot I can learn from the four elders, so naturally, I am reluctant to leave Big Monster City,” Lin Yi said with a smile, thinking about how he needed to gather resources quickly to reach Fusion.
“Hahaha, Dragon friend, there is also much we can learn from you. Let’s exchange our knowledge,” the Golden Peng Demon laughed heartily.
After chatting with the four Demon Ancestors for a while, Lin Yi excused himself to leave. He needed to instruct Zhi Ling, White Painting, and others not to wander outside the Cave Mansion carelessly, to prevent any accidents.
The Fox Tribe was cunning and vicious. With the protection from the four Demon Ancestors, they couldn’t strike at him directly but might target people like White Painting and Big Bull.
Having failed in his quest for retribution, the Fox Tribe Demon Ancestor would surely not let Lin Yi continue the purification of Fox Demons without plans to hinder it. However, the more he tried to stop it, the stronger the backlash might become.
