Chapter 807: She Can Only Be the Cao Family’s Daughter-in-law
“This Sect Leader simply won’t hand them over. What are you going to do about it?” The Sect Leader of that sect gritted his teeth and refused. From the registered information, his surname was Tie, and his name was Hui. He led the Golden Soup Sect in Zhongzhou.
Although the Golden Soup Sect was a small sect in Zhongzhou, it was definitely one of the top sects in the Xihui Dynasty. This could be seen from its Sect Leader, whose cultivation had reached the early stage of the Shentong Realm.
“Bring the Nine Nether Demonic Cats! Let’s go!”
Tie Hui immediately ordered his disciples to prepare to flee.
“You’d better think carefully. If you leave now, you will no longer be eligible to join the Dao Alliance, nor will you receive anyone’s protection in the future.”
Qi Huang reminded him again.
“Who cares?”
Tie Hui remained stubborn.
“That’s right. Although our Golden Soup Sect’s strength is not strong, it is located in the Immortal Arrival Empire, a forbidden area for evil spirits. We don’t need anyone’s protection.”
An Elder echoed him, while other disciples rounded up the three heavily injured Nine Nether Demonic Cats in the sect, preparing to take them away.
“Meow, meow, meow…”
The three Nine Nether Demonic Cats struggled desperately, their eyes filled with heart-wrenching helplessness as they looked at Yaoyao.
“Immortal Arrival Empire, no wonder you are so brave!”
Qi Huang realized that the Immortal Arrival Empire was originally the country where the Immortal Alliance Main Altar was located, so it was natural that there would be no powerful evil spirits.
“Courting death!”
Yaoyao was furious. Her human form began to shrink rapidly, and soon she transformed into a black Nine Nether Demonic Cat. Her vertical pupils were filled with unsettling crimson malevolence. Her fur stood on end, surrounded by Yin Energy that rapidly corroded the ground. Her fangs, about ten centimeters long, protruded from her mouth, looking aggressive.
Qi Huang did not stop her, because at such a moment, someone needed to stand out and kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.
The next moment, Yaoyao’s figure suddenly disappeared from her original spot. Not a single person present could see her figure with the naked eye. The reason was simple: after seven or eight years, her strength had already reached the late stage of the Shentong Realm, comparable to cultivators. Even in the entire Cultivation World, she was among the top of the pyramid.
Tie Hui’s expression changed. He subconsciously released his Spiritual Sense to explore, but found nothing. Only then did he realize how foolish his actions were. The Nine Nether Demonic Cat race was naturally capable of shielding Spiritual Sense.
Tie Hui did not intend to surrender. The True Qi in his Qi Sea spread out from every pore, forming a layer of shiny metallic armor on his body in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Yaoyao had already rushed forward. Her fur shot out densely, like steel needles, hitting Tie Hui’s palm sect’s armor with a crackling sound. The attached Yin Energy was extremely domineering, rapidly corroding the layer of metal armor.
The metallic armor on Tie Hui melted rapidly like ice and snow under the scorching sun. He was greatly alarmed, drew his treasure sword, and thrust it towards Yaoyao.
Yaoyao did not dodge. She extended her sharp right claw forward, grabbed the sword blade, and then exerted a gentle force.
“Clang!”
The treasure sword in Tie Hui’s hand was immediately broken.
Yaoyao held the front half of the sword and placed it on Tie Hui’s neck. Her small cat mouth spoke human words, “Either let them go, or die. You choose!”
Tie Hui trembled all over and stammered, begging for mercy, “Spare my life! I’ll let them go! I’ll let them go!”
Seeing their Sect Leader captured, the disciples of the Golden Soup Sect could only reluctantly hand over the three Nine Nether Demonic Cats.
“Hmph, it’s really a case of ‘offering a toast is to be taken, but refusing it means being forced to drink a forfeit’!”
Yaoyao snorted coldly.
Because of Yaoyao’s deterrence, the matter of handing over the Nine Nether Demonic Cats became much smoother.
“Grandfather… Grandfather…”
“Not good… Your son and grandson…”
“Have been captured!”
That evening, Lü Yi’s mother, Madam Zhuo, stumbled to the entrance of the dojo behind the mountain.
“What did you say?”
The next moment, Lü Dao appeared in front of his daughter-in-law.
“Grandfather, your son and grandson…”
“Have been captured by Cheng Hong Ling…”
Zhuo cried, recounting the events at the Immortal Alliance Main Altar, although she had only heard it from others.
“She actually destroyed the Immortal Alliance? How is that possible? The Immortal Alliance Leader’s strength is unfathomable, and he also has several Elders from Immortal families under him. How did that little demon girl do it?”
Lü Dao’s old eyes widened.
“I… I heard from eyewitnesses that that little demon girl can shield against Immortal Might.”
Zhuo said while wiping her tears.
“That’s impossible. Even Heaven-Concealing Water cannot shield against the impact of the Immortal Tablet. This has long been proven, because Immortal Tablets are usually built on treasure lands, using heaven and earth as their eyes.”
Lü Dao immediately raised an objection.
“Daughter-in-law… Daughter-in-law is not very clear, but Grandpa, now is not the time to discuss the Immortal Tablet. You have to find a way to save my husband and son.”
Zhuo tearfully pleaded.
“Don’t worry, they are also my sons and grandsons.”
Lü Dao quickly reassured her. After a moment of thought, he said, “How about this? I’ll immediately send someone to the HongHua Sect and ask her what it will take to let Lü Gao and Lü Yi go.”
“Aren’t you going personally?”
Zhuo asked subconsciously.
“Me? What’s the use if I go? Even the Immortal Alliance Leader is no match for that little demon girl. If I were to perish at her hands, the Lü family would have no hope at all.”
Lü Dao was slightly agitated, clearly afraid of death.
“Ah, yes, yes, yes. Then I’ll trouble you, Grandpa.”
Zhuo came to her senses and quickly curtsied. Her heart calmed down a little, and she suddenly remembered another matter. So she reported again, “By the way, Grandpa, that little demon girl also spread the word that she will come to remove the Lü family’s Immortal Tablet on the first day of next month!”
“Remove the Immortal Tablet? Has she gone mad? She’s simply courting death! Our Lü family’s Immortal Tablet not only has the protection of the strongest Immortal Might but also the protection of our ancestors, plus the blessing of the treasure land. By what right can she remove it?”
Lü Dao was amused by anger, because such a ridiculous act as removing an Immortal Tablet was unheard of.
“Daughter-in-law doesn’t know, but that’s what she said. Everyone who was watching the excitement at the Immortal Alliance Main Altar heard it.”
Zhuo shook her head.
“Forget it. If she wants to die, let her come. Our top priority right now is to figure out the situation of Lü Gao and Lü Yi.”
Lü Dao stroked his beard.
Qi Huang was currently in Shuiyu Valley, preparing to inquire about the life and death of the Lü family members.
“Sister Qi Huang, didn’t you say you would remove the Lü family’s Immortal Tablet on the first day of next month? So we kept those people for them to be hostages, and also to let them see for themselves.”
Mu Ruoyi explained the situation.
“Okay, you are quite thoughtful. However, the Lü family probably won’t wait until the first day of next month. They will soon send someone to negotiate.”
Qi Huang speculated.
“Then… then what should we do at that time?”
Mu Ruoyi sought advice.
“It’s easy! Haven’t you always been bothered by the destruction of Shuiyu Valley? This is a good opportunity to make them compensate.”
They discussed.
Qi Huang strategized.
“Good idea!”
Mu Ruoyi’s beautiful eyes lit up, and she immediately realized it. Then, she cleverly said, “Then what should we do after we get the compensation? Let them go?”
“How is that possible? No matter how much money the Lü family compensates, it can only make up for the property losses of Shuiyu Valley. What about the lives of hundreds of thousands of innocent people? This cannot be measured by money. They must pay for their blood with blood.”
Qi Huang’s expression was resolute.
“I understand.”
Mu Ruoyi nodded firmly.
…
Meanwhile, in the Cao family, there were mixed feelings. The joyous ones were naturally from Cao Meng’s lineage. Since Qi Huang and Cheng Hong Ling were not dead, it meant that Cao Yang still had a chance to marry a swan.
“I really didn’t misjudge her. That girl actually managed to escape from the Immortal Alliance!”
Cao Meng chuckled.
“Escape? She didn’t escape at all. It was the people from the Immortal Alliance who fled in disarray. Lu Lin was like a toy in her hands. I don’t know how strong that little demon girl is!”
Cao Hui said with lingering fear.
“The stronger, the better! Only the strong are worthy of being my grandson’s concubine!”
Cao Meng showed admiration on his face.
“Grandfather, do you mean I can still take her as a concubine?”
Cao Yang asked in surprise.
“Of course. Such a proud daughter of heaven can only be the daughter-in-law of our Cao family.”
Cao Meng said domineeringly.
“But Father, that little demon girl is really strong, so strong that even I feel scared. I’m afraid my plan to steal a chicken will backfire!”
Cao Hui persuaded hesitantly.
“How strong can she be? At most, she’s at the late stage of the Heavenly Punishment Realm. Otherwise, she would have ascended long ago. Our Cao family’s Immortal Tablet is the strongest existence in the Cultivation World, enough to suppress her!”
Cao Meng was confident.
