Knowing there is a tiger on the mountain, he deliberately heads towards the Tiger Mountain.

  After the orange forest was crushed by the mountain, Ju Zi Zhou could be said to have a name but no reality. I exerted my dragon and tiger secret skills, trying to move the mountain peak, using all my strength, including the energy I had since I was a baby, but the mountain peak didn't even budge.

  "I'm far too inferior to someone with the surname Chu." I plopped down on my butt by the lake, letting out a dejected sigh. If he was indeed Master's husband, Chu Du, then for the rest of my life, I would never be able to defeat him and avenge Master and Tulufan. Whatever magic I knew, he would know too, and every aspect of it would be more profound than mine. Chu Du had cultivated for so many years, his demonic energy was unknowingly many times deeper than mine, having already evolved into the final state of a demon - Alaya consciousness.

  Yuehun suddenly said, "This person is indeed very terrifying. I have lived for so many years and have never seen anyone more formidable than him. Just by looking at his appearance, you can tell that only when one's cultivation reaches the 'Know Micro' realm will they be unable to discern age."

  "Master is completely an old lady, but he's so young, it's really evil. Moon Little Son, what is Zhī Wēi?"

  "Knowing the distant as near, knowing the subtle as visible. When one's skill and power reach a profound level, they can discern all minute and hidden changes, seeing outside to know inside, called knowing the subtle."

  "It's just a fart, and you'll know what kind of shit it is, right?"

  Yuehun Renjun couldn't help but say: "This metaphor is crude, but it's also apt. Don't be discouraged, even if Chudu knows all the magic in the world, he still can't learn the charm dance. If you master the real charm dance, you might not lose to him."

  I suddenly felt invigorated, recalling the extraordinary spiritual world of Yuè Hún's divine consciousness, and my heart skipped a beat. According to Yuè Hún, the power of Méi Wǔ should be far greater than what I currently possess. I lost myself in thought for a while, casting my gaze towards the mountain valley. From the day Tǔ Lǔ Fān died, it had already been the tenth dusk. The crimson sunset swept across the dark mountain slope, and in the evening's rippling light, the flying insects danced like twinkling fishing fires.

  "Why are you always staring at those aphids these days? Are they even prettier than me?" Haizi walked over, half-kneeling behind me and playfully covering my eyes with her palms.

  "When I see them, I always recall a sentence my master said to me when we parted ways." Before my eyes, it seemed as if the scene of the cicadas flying out of the ground at dawn and their transparent wings sparkling in the morning mist had flashed by: "Life is so circuitous, yet hope is so magnificent."

  Hai Ji let go of his hand and smiled: "You seem a bit different from three years ago."

  I forced a smile: "Now with food and clothing taken care of, I naturally have time to indulge in wild fancies."

  "Tomorrow is the day of the duel with Yun Dalang, how prepared are you?"

  I didn't respond, my lips silently reciting the Thousand Knot Curse, my heart beating rapidly and slowly. More than a dozen crystal threads suddenly flashed out, instantly entwining Hai Ji and tying her up with the Thousand Knots. Caught off guard, she was bound tightly and cried out in a flustered tone: "You little scamp, let me go quickly!"

  I wiped my face and hugged her, lightly kissing her pale forehead before releasing the crystal thread. "See? Tomorrow I'll definitely beat Cloud Big Brother until he's covered in shit! Let's leave the valley, tonight we'll go to Great Thousand City for a stroll. We've been eating wild fruits for days, our mouths are as dry as birds."

  Hai Ji was both angry and amused: "I've never seen a greedy cat like you, always eating meat. Let's see how you'll escape the heavenly calamity in the future?" Yiyin took out the golden snail and prepared to leave.

  "Wait a minute." I walked to the front of the mountain peak of Juzi Zhou, concentrated and looked at it for a while, unfolded my armor-piercing technique, transformed my left arm into steel thorns, and deeply carved on a rock: "Chu Du" two words.

  "If one day I come back, it must be when I can move this mountain back to its original place." I muttered to myself, as the golden screw took us through the miasma in the sky, through swarms of dancing aphids, and away from the valley.

  In the evening, the city of Dacheng was bustling with lights and crowds. The streets were even more lively than before. I heard that the news of the demon king's invasion had spread far and wide, and my duel with Yun Dalang was also well-known to everyone. Many demons from all over the world came to watch the excitement, including many sects from Qingxu Heaven and Luosheng Heaven. The city of Dacheng presented a rare and spectacular scene that appeared only once in a hundred years.

  Hai Ji slightly frowned: "Little scoundrel, you agreed to duel with Yun Dalang, but only a few people like He Ping know about this matter, how did it spread throughout the city?"

  I thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Don't you understand? This must be the deliberate rumor spread by the Tiantang Sect. They're afraid I won't come when the time comes, so they're creating public opinion in advance to force me to respond. If I don't, I'll lose face and can't stay in the North anymore. And as soon as I make a move, you naturally can't just stand by and watch. This way, they've unnecessarily added Maijing Hai Hall as a strong ally."

  "Hai Ji sneered: 'They're indeed making a wishful calculation. But my sister has always been clear about public and private matters, she won't drag the Hai Jing Temple into this.'"

  I was taken aback: "You have another sister? How come I've never heard you mention her before?"

  Hai Ji's eyes flashed with a complex expression, hesitated for a moment, and said: "She is the leader of the Hai Jing Temple." Then she didn't want to talk about it anymore, changed the subject and said: "The rumors spread by the Tiantang Sect also have their advantages. If Gan Ningzhen and Jiudan Mei hear about it, they will definitely come."

  I nodded excitedly, looking around, wishing I could run into them on the street immediately. As I entered a restaurant with Haixi, as soon as I took off my hat and sat down, I heard the surrounding diners discussing tomorrow's battle.

  "Hu Laojiao, the leader of the Hunyuan Jiayipai sect, and Liu Zongyuan, the great elder of the Yinsha sect, have both arrived in Dacheng City. Even Jixiang Tian, who is usually high above, has been startled. It's said that a mysterious expert will come to avenge Wei Tuo." A black-faced big man at the next table was excitedly talking, spitting everywhere, and when he got to the exciting part, he slapped the table, causing bowls and plates to jump up: "And then there's Lin Fei, who is several dozen feet tall, with a waist as thick as this, green face and fangs, and his whole body covered in red hair!"

  I exchanged a glance with Haiji, and we couldn't help but laugh. A guest nearby retorted, "You're speaking as if it's not true, I heard that Lin Fei is handsome and elegant, and even caused Haiji and He Saihua to have a big fight over him."

  A monster let out a burp, and with a lustful smile said: "What Sea God, it turns out that you're also a man who thinks about women." Before he could finish speaking, a golden light flashed across his neck, fresh blood sprayed out of the nape of his neck, and his fluffy head fell onto the dinner table.

  " Pulse Slash!" Amidst the gasps, Haiji slowly removed her veil, her icy gaze sweeping around, and immediately the surroundings fell silent. The crowd recognized me and Haiji, and the news spread quickly, with many people rushing to the entrance of the restaurant to steal glances at us, pointing and whispering, making me feel extremely uncomfortable throughout the meal.

  Just as Haiji was about to settle the bill and leave, a customer at the entrance called out to her. He stood under the eaves of the house, his face obscured by the shadow of the high wall, exuding an eerie aura from head to toe.

  When Haiji saw him, a look of surprise appeared on her face. The man's voice was like fog floating in the air: "Hai Wu Shen, may I borrow a place to talk?"

  Haiji hesitated for a moment, and I curiously asked: "Is he your friend?"

  Hai Ji whispered softly in my ear: "He is the leader of the ten great famous door shadow flow of Luo Sheng Tian, Yin Wu Xie."

  I was taken aback, it seems that the Demon Lord's affair has shaken the entire Northern Territory. Hu Yan Zhong and Yin Wu Xie, these famous sect leaders, have appeared in Da Qian City one after another, and must be related to this matter. I smiled and said: "He may have something important to discuss with you, you go ahead and talk first, I'll wait for you here."

  Haiji nodded: "I'll be right back." She instructed me a few more sentences before following that person away.

  I waited for a while at the entrance of the restaurant, and suddenly I saw Hua Shengguo and Da Hu rushing towards me from the end of the street, looking around in all directions. My heart skipped a beat, and I hastily waved my hand to beckon them over.

  "Lin Ge, you're really here!" Hua Sheng Guo rushed over, her eyes swollen like peaches, crying as she hugged me: "Quickly save Grandpa and Sister!"

  My heart skipped a beat, and I said in a low voice: "What's wrong? Don't rush, speak slowly."

  "Half an hour ago, we were resting at the inn when a group of masked men suddenly burst in. They were all highly skilled in magic and took away Master, Master's wife, my sister, and the Blue-eyed Water Cloud Beast. They even left behind a note." He pulled out the note from his pocket and showed it to me.

  "Let Lin Fei come to Tongzi Cliff to rescue people." The handwriting on the note was scribbled, obviously written in a hurry. The note was made of high-quality snowflake-patterned paper with tiny peach blossoms printed on it. My nose twitched, and I could still smell a faint hint of fragrance on the note.

  "Those people claimed you were in Daqian City and even specified the exact location, I thought they were talking nonsense, but it turns out they really found you here!"

  I immediately realized that these people were after me. As soon as I appeared in Dacheng City, they kidnapped the Hua Shengpi family and specifically asked me to rescue them, clearly trying to lure me into a trap.

  The peanut fruit wiped away its tears and begged, "Lin brother, let's hurry up and save Grandpa and sister. Those bad eggs said that if you don't go, they'll kill all of Grandpa and the others."

  I'm a bit hesitant, the peanut shell and white light are not bad, this group of people can capture them alive, they have two brushes. Moreover, it's another conspiracy against me, if I rush to rescue people, wouldn't I be drilling into the opponent's well-prepared trap? Besides, my master said that when facing an enemy, one should know oneself and know the other, but now I don't even understand who the other party is, how can I act rashly?

  Dà Hǔ was in a difficult situation, rubbing his hands: "You have to compete with the demon from Mó Chì Tiān tomorrow. At this time, you shouldn't be bothered originally. But," he sighed helplessly: "But Huā Shēng Guǒ said that Lín Dàgē will definitely help him. Even if it's difficult again, Lín Dàgē will still help him."

  My heart skipped a beat, and I looked at the peanuts with tears in my eyes, yet they were filled with an unwavering trust in me. My blood surged, and I gritted my teeth, saying: "Alright, I, Lin Fei, will play along with them! Where is Tongzi Cliff?"

  Save a life like fighting a fire, I didn't wait for Hai Ji to arrive, I asked someone about the direction of Tongzi Cliff, I blew out a gust of wind, grabbed Da Hu and Hua Sheng, and flew over anxiously.
