Chapter 31: The Mysterious and Strange Beast

  Luo Gong stroked his beard, turned his head and said: "Some time ago, a true disciple of the Xianyao Sect came to our Biyun Pavilion to make trouble, and ended up hurting one of our own true disciples. The master has issued an order that from now on, the assessment difficulty for true disciples will be increased, in order to select even more outstanding true disciples, so as not to be bullied by outsiders. However, to be honest, I don't want to go see those fat relics either."

  "Shifu's wife said in a low voice: 'Lu Shixiong, there is no need to tell them these things.'"

  Luo Gengli smiled and said in a soft voice: "Hehe, I'm the kind of person who talks too much once I start."

  The Dog Head Immortal had already floated to the top of the fluffy clouds, and as he floated along on the cloud tops, it seemed even more stable and comfortable. Luo Gong Master actually let out a yawn, as if he wanted to sleep.

  Huang Juan said: "Zhang Feiyang, have you seen Fei Yi?"

  Zhang Feiyang said: "I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it before. How about you?" The "Lian Yao Lu" records the existence of this kind of demon beast called "Fei Gui", Zhang Feiyang had some impression of it.

  Huang Juan said, "I haven't either. I read a book called 'Yao Shou Pu' which says that Fei Yi understands a kind of demon law called 'Heart Spirit Break', which can see through people's hearts. Sounds strange, right?"

  Zhang Fei Yang said, "I've also heard that no matter what, as a true transmission disciple assessment must-kill kind of monster, Fei Yi is definitely not on the same level as Tian Lang, the difficulty will certainly not be small, so let's not be careless when the time comes!"

  Huang Juan smiled and said: "Zhang Feiyang, you're right!"

  The Tiger Head Immortal's ride began to descend, passing through the clouds and landing in a valley of brown mud. On one side, a green mountain wall rose up, with a two-zhang-high black cave emitting an eerie aura, seemingly bottomless inside.

  The crowd jumped down from the Tiger Head Immortal's carriage and stood at the entrance of the dark cave. The five inner disciples stood with their feet as if stuck in the mud, each taking a step forward.

  "Alright, five inner disciples, listen up! This cave is called the Fatty Inheritance Cave. Inside, there are many branching caves, and in each one, you'll find a fatty inheritance beast. You must enter alone and face the challenge of killing it. When you do, be careful not to cut off the horn on its head, known as the 'Spirit Bewilderment Horn', which is an excellent material for crafting magical tools. If you damage it, your qualification will be revoked. The weak point of the fatty inheritance beast is its neck, so aim for that."

  "Master, we understand."

  Five inner disciples followed Luo Geng and Shifu into the Fei Yi Cave, with Shifu holding a lamp in her hand. The small wick burned brightly, illuminating more than 50 meters ahead, making the entire cave as bright as day, it was certainly a magical instrument.

  Everyone came to a long stone wall, and Luo Geng also lifted the same oil lamp, making the surroundings even brighter. The small spider webs on the stone wall could be seen clearly.

  All that can be seen is a stone wall with a series of deep black holes arranged in a row, one every two meters, for a total of ten holes. At the bottom of each hole lives a fat toad.

  "Alright, we're here. You, come with me. The rest of you wait outside the cave."

  The tall disciple of the Inner Gate followed Master Luo into the frontmost black cave, which twisted and turned, soon losing sight of the light inside. The surroundings were quiet, with only the sound of footsteps echoing from within the cave. A moment later, a loud shout was heard from the cave, followed by the clashing of weapons, but then all went silent.

  "What a hassle, useless thing."

  Luo Gong dragged out the tall, inner sect disciple's body like a dog. The tall, inner sect disciple had already fainted, his entire body covered in signs of fighting, his face dirty and his clothes torn in several places. However, from his appearance, it was impossible to tell what had happened inside the black hole.

  The remaining four inner disciples were all shocked, the strength of an inner disciple with spiritual power reaching one hundred was not bad, yet they were knocked unconscious by Fei Yi, what kind of monster was Fei Yi?

  Shi Mu shook her head and said: "Isn't the Fat Inheritance too difficult for these inner disciples?"

  Lu Gong said: "I also think so. But now that it has started, let's continue the assessment. This is just the first candidate, and failure is normal."

  "White Snow, come with me," said Shifu's wife after taking a look at Bai Xue.

  Shu Bai Xue tightly grasped Han Mei's hand, responding with a sound, her eyes scanning the attire of the inner disciples once again, trying to find any flaws before following Master Mother inside.

  Everyone looked at Shu Baixue's back, such a beautiful woman with an icy and snowy appearance entering the black hole, showing such a huge contrast. They all didn't know what would happen to Shu Baixue inside, after all, the first one who entered, Gao Yidianmen disciple, still hadn't woken up.

  After a moment, surprisingly, the black hole was very quiet and didn't make any sound. Everyone's heart was filled with doubt, they all pricked up their ears to listen, after a while, suddenly from the black hole came a loud shout, "Clang" a crisp sound, followed by the low hum of a bird of prey, long and drawn out, low and muffled.

  The mistress left with a satisfied look, followed by Shu Baixue. Han Meixue was already carrying her on her back, her hands touching her chest, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, clearly feeling very uncomfortable. After Shu Baixue entered the crowd's line of sight, she didn't want to let everyone see her expression, so the painful look was quickly suppressed, and there was no longer any movement on her delicate face.

  "She passed." said Shifu's wife looking at Luogeng.

  "Very well." Luo Geng nodded slightly in surprise and said to Zhang Feiyang: "Zhang Feiyang, follow me inside."

  Zhang Fei took a deep breath, excitedly followed after him, his heart both tense and expectant. He was tense because he didn't know what kind of demon beast the Fatui was, but he was also excited because he would soon be starting the true disciple assessment. If he passed, he would become a true disciple - how could he not be excited?

  "Add oil, Zhang Fei!"

  Huang Juan bowed her waist and said in a low voice. Zhang Fei Yang turned his head back with a forced smile, his body passing by the corner, the light emitted by Luo Gong's oil lamp gradually disappeared, and the black hole returned to its original pitch-black appearance.

  Huang Juan turned her head to look at Shu Baixue and asked, "Sister, what does Fei Yi Chang look like? Is he formidable?" She wanted to inquire about Fei Yi Chang's true abilities in advance.

  Shu Bai Xue's eyes flickered slightly, but she still spoke calmly: "Fatty Yu, it's just a kind of ugly monster, I've already forgotten what it looks like."

  Huang Juan smiled and said: "Sister is so memorable! But it's also good this way, I'll know in the future that once I'm inside, I'll feel bored!"

  Shu Baixue lowered her head and didn't speak, the mistress smiled and said: "You little girl, you're really mischievous!" Huang Juan laughed loudly, but in the tomb of Fei Yidong, she dared not laugh wildly.

  Zhang Feiyang followed Luo Gong, walking through the winding mountain cave, smelling a stench that made his stomach feel queasy. The sound of knocking and bumping came from underfoot, and when he looked down, several animal skeletons were starkly visible in the stone crevices of the cave, which was what was left of the fat man's meal.

  Lu Gong suddenly stopped in his tracks, letting Zhang Fei walk ahead, and said: "We've arrived, the place where Fatty Yu is sleeping is just up ahead. You go in and defeat him, I'm just an examiner for now, and will only help when necessary."

  Zhang Feiyang knew that Luo Gong would only lend a hand at critical moments, and whether he could pass the assessment still depended on himself. So he gritted his teeth and walked forward, thinking to himself: "I still have a Golden Horned Rhinoceros in my alchemy furnace, even if Fatty Yu is very powerful, it won't be stronger than the Golden Horned Rhinoceros I've refined!" Thinking of this, his heart wasn't as afraid, and his performance became more natural.

  The cave in front of me suddenly became much larger, covering an area of over 80 square meters, with a spacious top as well.

  A monster with a long neck stared at Zhang Fei Yang, its eyes and mouth were no different from those of humans. But what was strange was that it had the body of a horse, the face of a human, the neck of a dragon, the claws of a chicken, and even grew bat-like wings, its shape was extremely bizarre!

  A small horn protruded from the forehead of the fat man, only about the size of a finger, extremely delicate, which was the "Linghuo Horn" that Master Luo Gang had emphasized to protect.

  Zhang Fei swung his Demon-Slaying Hammer, releasing a burst of golden light as he charged forward, intent on quickly ending the battle.

  Fei Yi's eyes widened in fear as the golden light emanating from Zhang Feiyang's body illuminated his face. His sluggish body took a few steps back, and his eyes were fixed intently on Zhang Feiyang's. Suddenly, the eerie glow flashed, and in an instant, Fei Yi transformed into a face that was extremely familiar to Zhang Feiyang. The face was filled with sorrow, its eyes cast downward, muttering to itself.

  Zhang Fei's eyes widened as he took a closer look, and that face was surprisingly 70% similar to his own!

  "Poor thing, poor thing..." The voice coming from that face was actually a woman's.

  Zhang Fei was stunned and stopped in his tracks, saying: "You demon beast, what's going on? How can you speak human language?"

  He opened his tearful eyes and said: "I am not a monster, I am the most pitiful person in this world."

  Zhang Fei looked puzzled and asked: "Why?"

  Fei Yu said: "Because I am not a person of this world, I come from a very far away place, perhaps a void or an illusion. Living in this world that does not belong to me, even if I became the number one immortal in the divine continent, what's the use? I still won't be able to see my birth parents, wife and friends. You say, shouldn't I become your food, let you eat me, and turn into your flesh? That would also be a kind of great belonging!"

  Zhang Fei was shocked and said: "Are you implying me?"

  Fei Yi Dao: "Yes, it seems I was right... then let me eat you."

  Zhang Feiyang's eyes flashed with excitement, thinking of his biological parents and wondering how they were doing now. While Hei Yijin quietly walked over, the originally slightly opened mouth suddenly opened wide, revealing rows of sharp teeth, ready to bite Zhang Feiyang.

  Boom

  Golden light accompanied by a loud noise, the demon-hammering entered into Fei Yi's mouth, instantly shattering Fei Yi's teeth, smashing Fei Yi's tongue, and bursting Fei Yi's brain.

  Fat's face was covered in blood and flesh, and he trembled with rage, saying: "Why? Did I say something wrong?"

  Zhang Fei Yang held up the Demon-Suppressing Mallet, its golden light flashing. With a valiant tone, he said: "Yes, what you said earlier was all correct, but unfortunately, there's one thing you got wrong at the end - I'm still a bachelor and don't have a wife, yet you claimed I do! Looks like your demonic powers aren't mature enough!"

  His whole body felt weak and tired, "Ah" he let out a cry as he fell to the ground.

  Zhang Fei Yang was affected by some kind of force, his body shook, and his eyes looking around the cave's vision became clearer. Looking at that fat man again, where were human eyes? They were simply black horse eyes!

  "Ah!"

  Zhang Fei knelt on the ground, muttering: "Damn it! I was caught in Fei Yu's illusion, that was close!"
