Chapter 98 The Purest Otsutsuki Bloodline
A white figure flashed in the mist, startling Huang Rong and Mu Nianci. The latter immediately threw out the throwing darts hidden at her waist.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~
The hidden weapon did not hit the ghost.
"Sister Mu, that's a ghost! How can you hit it with ordinary weapons?"
Hiding behind Chu Yang, Huang Rong complained, "At the very least, you should smear some black dog blood or something—"
Shooting those two darts had exhausted all of Mu Nianci's courage. She stood frozen in place, afraid to look around, lest a terrifying face appear before her eyes in the next second.
"Little Chu, hurry up and subdue the demon! Didn't you see how scared Sister Mu is!"
Huang Rong was so anxious that she almost tore Chu Yang's sleeve to shreds.
"Next time you criticize someone, please open your eyes first. You're scared to death yourself, yet you're criticizing others." Chu Yang disdainfully slapped away the hand tugging at his sleeve, then unleashed his Observation Haki.
The white figure was very fast, so it's understandable that Huang Rong and the others mistook it for a ghost. But Chu Yang has already captured the figure and can confirm that it is a human. Even if it really is a ghost, it doesn't matter. After all, Chu Yang is the Grim Reaper, so it's his specialty.
The Observation Haki quickly detected the target, which was turning back at an extremely fast speed.
A white shadow flashed by, startling Huang Rong and Mu Nianci so much that they huddled together, trembling.
Chu Yang was somewhat puzzled; the other party didn't seem to have any malicious intent.
They could have attacked them just now, but they only scared them.
Why?
"It seems like they want to kick us out. Could it be—"
A glint flashed in Chu Yang's eyes as he guessed the identity of the white figure.
I was originally thinking about how to find the Tomb of the Living Dead in the mountains, but I unexpectedly stumbled upon a clue.
When the white shadow flew over their heads for the third time, Chu Yang used his Conqueror's Haki to knock the opponent unconscious.
"Um--"
The white figure let out a muffled groan, and its head fell straight down from mid-air as if it had been punched.
It landed right in front of Mu Nianci and Huang Rong.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
The two were so frightened that they were completely disoriented, and tears welled up in their eyes.
"I told you, you used to be pretty brave, never believing in any supernatural stuff. Why are you so easily startled now?"
Chu Yang looked at Huang Rong speechlessly and puzzled. When he first met her, she seemed to have no taboos.
"I didn't believe in this stuff before, but after meeting you, I have to believe it even if I don't want to. The living example is right in front of me."
Huang Rong explained, feeling wronged.
Chu Yang suddenly realized that, in Huang Rong's view, since she possessed magic, the existence of ghosts and gods in the world was not surprising.
"Miss Huang, does this look like a person?" Mu Nianci wiped her red and swollen eyes from crying, and after looking at it carefully, she finally confirmed that what was in front of her was a girl dressed in white.
She was not very old, even younger than Huang Rong.
Meanwhile, Huang Rong, upon hearing that it was a person, walked over to Mu Nianci, glanced down at her, and after confirming that it was indeed a person, suddenly raised her foot to carry it over.
Mu Nianci grabbed her in a panic, "Miss Huang, what are you doing?"
"This little brat scared me so badly, I'm going to kick her to death today!" Huang Rong was furious, her teeth bared as if she wanted to devour someone. "Don't hold me back, Sister Mu!"
Mu Nianci didn't move aside, but turned back to look helplessly at Chu Yang.
Chu Yang reached out and pressed Huang Rong's head, signaling her to calm down. "Bear with it for now, we still need her help to find the Tomb of the Living Dead."
Huang Rong angrily turned her head to the side, and Mu Nianci quickly asked, "Brother Chu, is this little girl the successor of the Ancient Tomb Sect you mentioned?"
Chu Yang nodded.
Huang Rong snorted coldly, "How can that prove anything? Apart from being dressed in white, she doesn't have any sect tokens on her."
Chu Yang laughed and said, "Besides the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect, there are no outsiders on the mountain. Who else could it be but the Ancient Tomb Sect, and a girl at that?"
Huang Rong remained noncommittal, silently memorizing the girl's appearance.
Chu Yang could tell that the little girl was quite vengeful, and she probably planned to get revenge later.
Judging from her age, this girl is unlikely to be Xiaolongnu. Xiaolongnu is at most three or four years old now, while this girl looks only a few years younger than Huang Rong.
The answer is obvious.
"The Red Serpent Fairy, Li Mochou."
Chu Yang found it hard to believe that the pretty and adorable girl in front of him would one day grow into a female demon king.
"Miss Mu, please tie her hands and feet and then wake her up."
"Okay, Brother Chu."
Following Chu Yang's instructions, Mu Nianci bound Li Mochou's hands and feet, then gently pinched her philtrum.
With a sob, Li Mochou slowly awoke.
The moment she saw Chu Yang, she shivered and quickly came to her senses.
"How could I—"
Li Mochou blurted out in a panic, still vividly remembering the eerie feeling from just now, as if she had been hit hard on the head.
Chu Yang asked, "I have important business to attend to with the leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect. May I ask if Miss Li could lead us to the Tomb of the Living Dead?"
Li Mochou asked in shock, "How do you know my name? And how do you know about the Ancient Tomb Sect and the Tomb of the Living Dead?"
Chu Yang casually lied, "My family has a long-standing friendship with Wang Chongyang, the Master of the Quanzhen Sect, so I know some things that are not widely known."
Huang Rong whispered in his ear, "You told Uncle Yang last time that your family is a family of charlatans."
Chu Yang replied, "Taoists are just charlatans. Isn't it normal for charlatans to be family friends?"
Huang Rong nodded and said, "That makes sense."
Li Mochou had heard her master recount the old stories between the founder Lin Chaoying and Wang Chongyang.
She knew that the Tomb of the Living Dead, where the Ancient Tomb Sect now resided, was originally built by Wang Chongyang for seclusion.
Chu Yang claimed to have a past relationship with Wang Chongyang and was going to the Tomb of the Living Dead. From Li Mochou's perspective, it was difficult to ascertain the truth of his claim.
The only certainty is that the current situation is beyond our control.
Chu Yang is now willing to use diplomacy first, but Li Mochou understands that this is because she has not explicitly rejected him, and it does not mean that he will have the same attitude later.
After much deliberation, Li Mochou nodded in agreement to take Chu Yang and the others to the Tomb of the Living Dead.
"They're not familiar with the way to the Tomb of the Living Dead. Let's find a chance to shake them off, and then I'll go and inform Granny Sun."
"Our master just passed away, and someone immediately contacted the Ancient Tomb Sect. They definitely have ill intentions!"
Li Mochou, only a teenager, wore her heart on her sleeve; how could she possibly fool the clever and cunning Huang Rong?
Huang Rong smiled coldly and remained silent, quietly following behind Li Mochou, wanting to see what tricks she was up to.
As the group entered the dense forest, the fog grew thicker, and Li Mochou seized the opportunity to leap into the mist.
"You brat, I knew you were up to something!"
Huang Rong shouted and was about to use her lightness skill to chase after him, but Chu Yang grabbed her shoulder.
She turned around and looked at Chu Yang with a puzzled expression.
"We'll just follow behind; she'll take us to the Ancient Tomb Sect."
Mu Nianci asked, puzzled, "Brother Chu, with such thick fog and unfamiliar with the terrain, it's easy for us to lose track of them."
"Don't worry, I know where she is."
Chu Yang's Observation Haki had already locked onto Li Mochou, and he wasn't worried about losing her unless Li Mochou could teleport.
The scenery on both sides rushed past, and Li Mochou used all her strength to perform her light-footed skills.
Having lived in the ancient tomb for so many years, this was the first time she had come into contact with an outsider. Granny Sun always described outsiders as very terrifying, and today, seeing them, she realized that it was just as Granny Sun had said. She was only a hair's breadth away from falling into their hands.
"I don't know what kind of evil skill that person used, but in the blink of an eye, I lost consciousness."
"What if he's a lecherous man? Then I'd be—"
Running in the cold wind, Li Mochou felt increasingly frightened as she thought about it, and she shivered several times.
It has to be said that teenage girls have a rich imagination. In no time, she had imagined Chu Yang to be extremely evil. However, she was so engrossed in her imagination that she did not notice that Chu Yang and the others were following behind her.
The dense fog in the forest not only obstructed Chu Yang's vision but also provided him with cover.
After following the little girl through the winding mountain roads, the surrounding greenery gradually faded away. Chu Yang looked around and saw bare earthen slopes everywhere, resembling a mass grave.
One of the tombstones is particularly eye-catching.
"The Tomb of the Living Dead, it really is a cemetery? I thought it was just a strange name—"
The sight of the surrounding crowd made Huang Rong frown and, together with Mu Nianci, subtly moved closer to Chu Yang.
"That tomb is the entrance to the Ancient Tomb Sect. Let's go over there."
Chu Yang walked towards the tall tombstone, examined it for a while, and then placed his hand directly on it; the material was surprisingly hard.
Huang Rong also followed Chu Yang's example and pressed her hand on the tombstone, saying softly, "It's so hard, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary stone."
Mu Nianci asked, "Brother Chu, you said this is the entrance, how do we get in? Shouldn't we greet the owner of this place?"
Chu Yang shook his head and chuckled, "I came here to take something, to put it nicely, but to put it bluntly, I robbed you. If you were the host, would you invite me in?"
Mu Nianci's eyes widened, and she couldn't speak for a long time. In her heart, Chu Yang was a god. How could she judge a god who wanted to take something from a mortal?
Huang Rong asked curiously, "Little Chu, what exactly do you want to take?"
Chu Yang then explained the reason to them: "Wang Chongyang engraved part of the Nine Yin Manual in the Ancient Tomb Sect, and I would like to borrow it for a while."
"The Nine Yin Manual?!"
Huang Rong and Mu Nianci exclaimed in surprise at the same time, with Huang Rong looking at Chu Yang with a complicated expression.
"Even the Nine Yin Manual, no matter how powerful, is still a mortal martial art. You already know magic, so why do you still want to read this manual?"
"I'm a very curious person."
Chu Yang gave a perfunctory answer; he couldn't very well say that he knew nothing about martial arts and needed the encyclopedia "Nine Yin Manual" for reference.
Otherwise, it's very likely you won't understand other martial arts techniques.
After explaining his reasons, Chu Yang was about to destroy the entrance when the tombstone in front of him suddenly began to shake.
Chu Yang took a few steps back, and the tombstone slowly rotated, from which a ghostly figure flew out.
"Where did these unwelcome guests come from? They are so unreasonable, not only insulting my Ancient Tomb Sect disciples, but also daring to come knocking on our door?"
The dark figure moved with lightning speed, reaching Chu Yang in the blink of an eye. Huang Rong and Mu Nianci only felt a blur before their eyes, and before they could even utter a sound...
There wasn't even time to shout "Watch out!"
In order to defeat Wang Chongyang, Lin Chaoying chose to take an unorthodox approach. Therefore, the martial arts of the Ancient Tomb Sect prioritize speed over strength. Lin Chaoying believed that as long as she could defeat Wang Chongyang, she did not need to be ruthless to win.
To put it bluntly, it's just that girls in love want to win over their boyfriends but are reluctant to go all out. It's a pity that although Wang Chongyang knew Lin Chaoying's feelings, he himself took fighting against the Jin and Liao dynasties as his lifelong wish and was unable to accept her.
Simply being fast poses a disadvantage to Chu Yang, because Observation Haki allows him to predict enemy attacks.
The moment the shadow rushed over, Chu Yang had already kicked out.
Almost as soon as he finished his lines, the man's face slammed straight into Chu Yang's foot. He screamed "Ah!" and flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground.
Huang Rong and Mu Nianci then clearly saw who attacked Chu Yang: an old woman in her fifties or sixties.
"Oh dear! Grandma, are you alright?" Mu Nianci exclaimed, covering her mouth, and quickly went to help the old woman.
Chu Yang was also a little embarrassed. As he walked, he scratched his head and said, "Old man, I didn't mean it. Please forgive me."
The footprints on the old woman's face were so clear that at first glance they looked like tattoos.
This perfectly timed kick not only interrupted the old woman's attack but also successfully caused her to strain her back. When Mu Nianci went to help her up, her face looked like she was wearing a mask of pain.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
The old man's screams made Chu Yang feel even more ashamed. He was a model youth born under the red flag. When had he ever done anything like bullying an old man?
"Xiao Huang! Hurry up and take a look at the old man! What are you doing looking around like that?"
Chu Yang turned his head and winked at Huang Rong, who was staring blankly at the tombstone.
"Xiao Chu, there seems to be a child over there—"
Huang Rong pointed to the hole behind the tombstone, where a cute little girl was hiding, peeking out cautiously.
"So cute, like a rag doll!!!"
Huang Rong's eyes overflowed with love, as if she had seen a beloved toy, and she rushed over in one stride.
"Long'er, quickly hide!"
The old woman's expression changed, and she called out anxiously.
The little girl seemed frightened, turned and ran, disappearing into the dark entrance. Huang Rong was a little scared and stopped beside the tombstone.
"Old man, don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions towards the Ancient Tomb Sect and will not harm you. I just want to see what Master Wang Chongyang left inside. I will leave after I have seen it and will not stay."
Chu Yang tried his best to make his smile as friendly as possible.
"I've lived here for over a decade and have never heard of Wang Chongyang leaving anything behind. Don't try to deceive me!"
The old woman was in excruciating pain from her herniated disc, but she still glared fiercely at Chu Yang.
Chu Yang pursed his lips, "They're a married couple, why would they tell you everything? You're not a maid who came with them as part of their dowry."
The old woman was so angry she could only stare blankly.
"Mother-in-law, calm down first, let me massage your back."
Mu Nianci placed her hands on the old woman's waist. The woman shuddered at first, but her expression softened considerably, indicating that Mu Nianci's massage was effective.
She followed Yang Tiexin on his adventures for many years, and she took care of him whenever he suffered any injuries. Over time, she developed her own skills in the process.
Seeing this, Huang Rong also stepped forward to help the old woman treat her back injury. Her father was Huang Yaoshi, a famous all-rounder with extraordinary medical skills. She had been influenced by him since childhood and had learned a lot.
The two girls' gentle approach quickly won over the old woman, and her attitude improved considerably. After hesitating for a moment, she introduced herself.
She is Granny Sun.
Granny Sun was not Lin Chaoying's disciple, but someone she had helped by chance. She was only allowed to join the Ancient Tomb Sect after much pleading, and was nominally considered the sect's steward.
Lin Chaoying's personal disciple was her maid, who was also the master of Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou.
This person passed away not long ago, which is why Granny Sun and Li Mochou are so sensitive.
Huang Rong was good at making the elderly happy, and before long she learned from Granny Sun that the Ancient Tomb Sect was currently facing a shortage of young talent.
It's really not a big deal.
Even if the Ancient Tomb Sect, which is so detached from worldly affairs, faces a generational gap, it will take another ten or twenty years for the next generation of disciples to grow up.
For example, Li Mochou, who became the fearsome Red Serpent Fairy in the martial arts world in about ten years, is now in a similar situation to Li Mochou before.
Chu Yang's kick just now had already shown the old woman who had the stronger fist, and her friendly attitude was partly due to taking the opportunity to back down.
The group walked down the long stone path, the dark and damp environment creating a strong sense of horror movie atmosphere.
Grandma Sun felt the two hands gripping her arms tightening their grip, so she chuckled and said, "Don't be afraid, little girls. It's just a bit dark here, but it'll be fine as you go on."
Just as Granny Sun said, after passing through the narrow stone path, the space in front of us suddenly opened up.
"It was here that Wang Chongyang opened up the stone chamber for his seclusion."
Grandma Sun proudly introduced the Ancient Tomb Sect to the two little girls.
I originally thought they would be amazed by the ingenuity of the Ancient Tomb Sect, but Huang Rong and Mu Nianci were very calm, even a little bored.
Grandma Sun was stunned.
Unbeknownst to her, Huang Rong and Mu Nianci had already witnessed something far more powerful.
Compared to Chu Yang's ingenious method of creating a hidden space in a confined area, carving out a stone chamber in the mountains is hardly magical.
Granny Sun turned around awkwardly, coughed, and said, "Ahem, young brother, this is the Ancient Tomb Sect. What exactly is the thing left behind by Wang Chongyang? I have been here for many years and have never heard the founder mention it."
Chu Yang did not answer directly, but instead asked, "May I ask which chamber is the one where Grandma enshrines the tomb of Patriarch Lin Chaoying?"
Granny Sun replied somewhat awkwardly, "That's a restricted area of our sect; outsiders are not allowed to enter."
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
Seeing this, Huang Rong quickly stepped forward, took Granny Sun's hand, and said coquettishly, "Granny, we're not here to cause trouble. The reason we want to enter the tomb of Patriarch Lin Chaoying is simply because we admire such an extraordinary woman and want to pay our respects!"
"Xiao Chu said that Grandmaster Lin Chaoying's martial arts skills and talent far surpassed Wang Chongyang's. She was only willing to lag behind because she was troubled by love. If we really compare, she is truly the number one in the world!"
With her silver tongue, Huang Rong showered Granny Sun with compliments, making her feel like she was floating on air. Even if Lin Chaoying were to be resurrected, she probably wouldn't be able to resist.
Chu Yang rolled his eyes. He had never said anything like that to Huang Rong, but he himself felt that Lin Chaoying's talent and wit were superior to Wang Chongyang's.
The Jade Maiden Heart Sutra completely countered the martial arts of the Quanzhen School. Wang Chongyang was unable to reverse the moves in the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra and was forced to give up. Later, he won the Nine Yin Manual in the Mount Hua Sword Tournament. He then drew on the martial arts secrets in the manual to come up with a way to counter it and win back some ground.
"Young brother, your family has been friends with Wang Chongyang for generations. Your insightful remarks have impressed me greatly. Very well, since that's the case, I'll take you to pay your respects to Patriarch Lin Chaoying."
At this time, Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou had not yet grown up and could not be called the leaders of the Ancient Tomb Sect. Granny Sun, the steward, made the decision on their behalf, which was not considered excessive.
Afterwards, Granny Sun led the three to Lin Chaoying's tomb, which was also the tomb of the successive leaders of the Ancient Tomb Sect.
Li Mochou's master has just been buried, and a hundred years later, Xiaolongnu will also be buried here.
After walking for a while, Chu Yang, who was at the end of the group, suddenly heard a noise behind him, and the sound of a sharp sword cutting through the air reached his ears.
"Thief, take this!"
"Stop, Miss!"
Two voices sounded from one behind the other.
Chu Yang used Armament Haki to deflect the attack from behind, but the moment the sword tip pierced his back, he suddenly felt a slight stinging pain.
Although it was very slight and negligible, it showed that the internal force carried by the sword tip had broken through the Armament Haki defense!
Chu Yang was somewhat surprised.
Unfortunately, Li Mochou's internal strength was too weak. The long sword in her hand shattered with a crash, and she herself was thrown away.
Granny Sun's expression changed drastically. Although Li Mochou was young, her internal strength was already at a first-rate level. That young man surnamed Chu actually managed to send her flying with just his hard skills. His mastery of external martial arts was truly astonishing!
Li Mochou fell flat on her face, seeing stars, and was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
"Senior Sister!"
In the distance, there was that adorable little girl again, rushing towards Li Mochou. However, she was unsteady on her feet and her running was like that of a drunkard, swaying and staggering.
As expected, he fell hard on his bottom and sat on the ground crying loudly.
Granny Sun stepped forward to help Li Mochou up, then held the little girl in her arms, whispering a few words of comfort before turning to Li Mochou and saying, "Miss Mochou, Mr. Chu and the others meant no harm; they simply wish to pay their respects to Patriarch Lin Chaoying. Please don't be rude again!"
Li Mochou glared angrily at Chu Yang. It was all because of this man that she had fallen twice today and was almost broken!
"Grandma, they are clearly Lie people—"
"Shut up!"
For the first time ever, Granny Sun spoke sternly to Li Mochou, which startled the latter, and she abruptly stopped talking.
Whether they were old friends or strangers, the most important thing for Granny Sun now was for both sides to remain at peace. As for what Chu Yang and his group were going to take away, she no longer wanted to ask.
If she insists on pursuing this matter, today might be the day the Ancient Tomb Sect is destroyed. If something goes wrong, how will she explain it to Patriarch Lin Chaoying in the afterlife?
Seeing the atmosphere become awkward again, Huang Rong immediately transformed into a master of breaking the ice, walking over to Granny Sun and teasing the little girl. Before long, the crying baby was made to laugh non-stop by her.
"Grandma, what's this little cutie's name?"
"Her name is Long'er, and she is an orphan girl adopted by the sect leader."
"Long'er? What a lovely name. Long'er, don't be afraid. Your older brother and sister aren't bad people, so don't worry."
Long'er nestled in Granny Sun's arms, staring at Huang Rong with her round eyes. Then her gaze shifted and fixed on Chu Yang, who was indeed Little Dragon Girl. Mu Nianci also stepped forward to tease Little Dragon Girl.
"Hahaha, it tickles, sister, no!"
Mu Nianci did not show any mercy and continued to tickle the other person's ticklish spot.
Chu Yang took a few deep breaths.
Although I'm not a lolicon, I really can't resist this!
Comrade Chu Yang ultimately succumbed to depravity, his feet moving forward against his will.
The next moment, a figure blocked his way.
Li Mochou snorted angrily.
"You're not allowed to touch it!"
After pushing the childish Li Mochou aside, Granny Sun led Chu Yang and the others into Lin Chaoying's tomb. Pushing open the stone door, they were greeted by a life-sized painting.
The painting depicts an exceptionally beautiful woman, with a heroic air about her and a captivating gaze, perfectly embodying the term "heroine."
"This is Patriarch Lin Chaoying. If you wish to pay your respects, please follow me."
As she spoke, Granny Sun walked behind the painting, took out several incense sticks, and handed them to Chu Yang, Huang Rong, and Mu Nianci, then lit them one by one.
Chu Yang genuinely admired this extraordinary woman, so he bowed and then placed the incense sticks into the incense burner on the offering table.
Huang Rong and Mu Nianci performed the same actions.
Granny Sun asked with a smile, "You've seen it all, paid your respects, and explored most of the Ancient Tomb Sect's territory. Have you seen any relics left by Wang Chongyang?"
Chu Yang pointed to the top of the tomb chamber.
Grandma Sun looked up in the direction Chu Yang pointed, and was stunned.
The tomb chamber was covered with inscriptions. Granny Sun read them carefully and found that they were the complete text of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, the ultimate martial art of their Ancient Tomb Sect!
Huang Rong and Mu Nianci only glanced at it before Chu Yang whispered in their ears, "This is the Ancient Tomb Sect's ultimate technique; it's best if we don't look at it too much."
Knowing the gravity of the situation, the two girls quickly looked away.
"What we need is in the adjacent tomb chamber, so we won't stay any longer—"
Chu Yang turned to leave, but heard Granny Sun ask him from behind.
"May I ask, Mr. Chu, what is written on the inscription in the adjacent tomb chamber?"
Chu Yang explained, "In the past, Grandmaster Lin Chaoying used the martial arts within the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra to defeat all the Quanzhen Sect's martial arts, and inscribed it in the tomb chamber. Grandmaster Wang Chongyang was helpless against it."
"Years later, during the Mount Hua Sword Tournament, he obtained the Nine Yin Manual. Drawing on the martial arts secrets within the manual, he devised a way to counter the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra. He then had the Nine Yin Manual engraved in another tomb chamber along with it."
Granny Sun snorted coldly, "Shameless!"
Chu Yang shook his head and chuckled, offering no further comment. He pushed open the door to another tomb chamber and looked up to see the Nine Yin Manual carved on the stone wall above.
He could read ten lines at a glance and quickly memorized the entire text.
However, he is not yet familiar with the martial arts philosophy behind it and needs some time to learn it.
Granny Sun followed closely behind, watching Chu Yang silently recite the Nine Yin Manual with a complicated expression. If it were anyone else today, she would not have let them leave this ancient tomb.
Even Huang Rong and Mu Nianci.
A treasure like the Nine Yin Manual is enough to drive anyone in the world crazy. If the news were to leak out, many martial arts masters would probably flock to the Tomb of the Living Dead to seize the treasure.
This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to them.
"Please rest assured, Granny Sun, this matter will not be heard by any third party."
After reciting the Nine Yin Manual from memory, Chu Yang spoke first to dispel Granny Sun's doubts.
"Thank you, Mr. Chu."
Grandma Sun breathed a sigh of relief.
Having achieved his goal, Chu Yang prepared to take his leave.
Before leaving, Grandma Sun gave her several jars of honey.
Chu Yang revealed the secret of the tomb, leaving behind a copy of the Nine Yin Manual for the Ancient Tomb Sect, and sending a few jars of honey as a token of his goodwill.
The Ancient Tomb Sect is a secluded and unambitious group, and it has no treasures of comparable value to the Nine Yin Manual.
Granny Sun escorted Chu Yang and the others to the outside of the ancient tomb. The little dragon girl in her arms began to cry. After spending most of the day together, she had become familiar with her two older sisters and was now somewhat reluctant to part with them.
Li Mochou stared at Chu Yang the whole time, still furious. She could only utter a threat that wasn't quite a threat in itself: "Once I've mastered my martial arts, I will avenge this humiliation!"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Granny Sun slapped her on the back of the head, sending her scurrying away with her head in her hands, her threats turning into screams of pain.
"Ouch! Ouch! Grandma, please don't hit me! I know I was wrong!"
Li Mochou begged for mercy with tears in her eyes.
Amid her screams, everyone left Zhongnan Mountain and headed towards the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Naruto World.
Konoha Village, underground in the Forest of Death.
Chu Yang's secret research lab was operating smoothly. The task of extracting the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan had reached its final stage. A bloodline factor analyzer, ten meters tall, stood in the center of the lab, vibrating and emitting a constant hum.
Numerous shadow clones watched the machine intently.
Beep~ Beep~ The green indicator light on the instrument lights up, indicating that the extraction and synthesis of ancestral factors has been completed.
Chu Yang took a deep breath, stepped forward, and took out a crystal-clear test tube from the instrument.
The substance inside is somewhere between a liquid and a gas; it's a crystalline atomized substance, dreamlike and dazzling.
This is the bloodline factor of the Otsutsuki clan!
"We finally succeeded!!!"
The shadow clones were all cheering. The only person who could understand how hard Chu Yang had worked during this time was himself.
A moment later, Chu Yang lay down in the prepared bio-pod and instructed his clones to complete the subsequent transplant surgery.
The test tube containing the bloodline factor was placed into the groove at the top of the biological chamber. As the indicator light lit up, the bloodline factor inside quickly dissipated and was injected into Chu Yang's body.
The bio-chamber was enveloped by a large amount of crystalline gas, and the shadow clones outside disappeared one after another as if they had been attacked for no reason.
The research room became very empty and quiet, almost unsettling.
At the same time, the bio-vault emitted a rapid alarm, and the red indicator light flashed frantically.
The mist that spread out also turned blood red.
The alarm sounded for an unknown amount of time before suddenly stopping. The red mist seemed to be sucked away by a powerful suction force, swirling back into the bio-chamber.
As visibility gradually improved, Chu Yang's figure quietly emerged. His appearance had changed drastically, as if he had grown from a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy into a twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old young man overnight.
Her black hair turned white.
His body became even stronger, and a terrifying sense of oppression emanated from him in the next moment.
Chu Yang suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils were no longer black, but snow-white, with a faint gold hue in the deepest part.
Then.
The pupils changed again, displaying spiral patterns with comma-shaped black dots appearing and disappearing around them.
"Are my eyes the Rinnegan, or the Tenseigan? Or perhaps both?"
Chu Yang was very curious. He could feel that his eyes possessed extremely powerful abilities, especially in the realm of space and time.
With the help of bloodline factor technology, Chu Yang can be said to have the highest bloodline concentration among the Otsutsuki clan members, and may even surpass Otsutsuki Kaguya.
It is impossible to know what changes might occur to his bloodline limit.
"No wonder so many people are fascinated by the pleasure that power brings; the feeling of having everything in your hands is truly wonderful."
Chu Yang smiled slightly, then clenched his fists and instantly activated Sage Mode. A golden haori woven from chakra appeared on his body, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations.
Because the fusion effect of the bloodline factors was even better than Chu Yang had imagined, the Six Paths Sage Mode he had mastered was also more powerful than expected.
"I might be able to rival the Sage of Six Paths in his current form."
Chu Yang smiled with satisfaction, then deactivated his immortal mode and walked into another room, which was also filled with instruments.
At the center are nine huge glass jars containing portions of the chakra of the nine tailed beasts, with sealing arrays at the bottom of the jars.
This is the breeding room for the Ten-Tails.
The Ten-Tails is the incarnation of the Divine Tree. If Chu Yang wants to obtain the fruit of the Divine Tree, he must revive the Ten-Tails. He cannot follow Kaguya Otsutsuki's example and use the planet beneath his feet as nourishment.
He had no intention of becoming an enemy of the world, especially not standing against Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha.
Chu Yang summoned his shadow clone to continue his previous work, and the laboratory once again fell into a busy state.
"A supernatural being was spotted in the vicinity of this city this morning. All citizens are advised to leave immediately and seek refuge in other cities."
Chu Yang, who was about to leave for work, turned around and stared at the news on TV, lost in thought.
Since arriving in this world, Chu Yang has lived in fear almost every day. The terrifying attacks by the strange people have never stopped. Today they destroy a neighborhood, tomorrow they kill a bunch of civilians.
The daily death toll reported on television news constantly jolted Chu Yang, reminding him that he might become the next victim.
The most desperate moment came one morning when Chu Yang heard at work that a colleague had died from an attack by a strange person—a girl with a beautiful smile.
They were drinking together the night before.
The girl is gentle and kind, and often encourages Chu Yang, who is in a negative mood, to face the world positively.
He even fantasized about what it would be like for the two of them to be in a relationship.
result-
The unfortunate news almost shattered Chu Yang's last psychological defenses. If only he and the girl had encountered the strange man together and left this disgusting world together.
This idea was deeply etched in Chu Yang's mind.
Transmigrating to such a world filled Chu Yang with a deep sense of helplessness and exhaustion.
I can't do anything, so what's the point of living in this world like this?
Chu Yang put down his briefcase, and also abandoned the idea of escaping with the crowd.
He glanced at the TV one last time, confirmed the location of the demon-level monster, and then left the apartment alone.
Rather than living in constant fear, it's better to bravely choose how to die.
On the streets, people were traveling with their families, some driving cars and others walking, all trying to find ways to stay away from the area where the strange man was said to be.
Chu Yang was like a reef, swimming upstream against the tide of the crowd.
A kind passerby, thinking he was terrified, grabbed his arm and said, "Young man, you're going the wrong way! There are monsters of a demon level over there!"
Chu Yang pushed away the passerby's hand, nodded to express his gratitude, and then disappeared back into the crowd.
Watching Chu Yang's departing figure, the passerby seemed to understand something, and his expression suddenly darkened.
And so, fewer and fewer people surrounded Chu Yang.
When he arrived near the once bustling Zhengyuan Garden, he found himself all alone!
The surroundings were quiet; the city seemed to have died.
"Waaah—. Waaah—. Mommy."
The sound of crying came from ahead. After looking closely, Chu Yang found a little boy standing at the entrance of Zhengyuan Garden, and his mother slumped on the ground next to him.
The woman clutched her calf in pain; it was covered in bruises, suggesting it had been broken during her escape and rendered immobile.
As the crowd receded into the distance, a look of despair appeared on the boy's mother's face.
Chu Yang stopped in his tracks, lost in thought.
Should we go find that demon-level monster, or help the mother and child escape?
"Even with my help, they won't get far. In the end, they'll still be caught and killed by the Demon-level monster. It's pointless."
Thinking of this, Chu Yang strode forward, expressionlessly avoiding the little boy and his mother.
"Big brother, don't go over there! There are weird people there, you'll die!"
The little boy saw Chu Yang and quickly jumped up to grab his trouser leg, crying so hard that he couldn't explain himself.
"You—you didn't come here to ask me for help?"
Chu Yang was somewhat surprised.
"Mom said you can't help us alone, and we can't be a burden to you. She told me to tell you to leave quickly!"
The little boy gritted his teeth, trying to keep his crying quiet. His mother told him to leave quickly, but he refused to go.
The little boy instinctively grabbed Chu Yang's trouser leg, and the latter realized that the other boy really wanted to ask him for help.
Finally, the little boy let go and silently watched Chu Yang leave.
Just as Chu Yang was about to disappear from the little boy's sight, he suddenly stopped, turned around and came back. Without saying a word, he picked up the boy and carried him on his back.
"Hurry up, the weirdo is coming!"
Upon hearing Chu Yang's reminder, the little boy nodded with great joy, and his mother also leaned on Chu Yang's back, thanking him repeatedly.
Chu Yang did not respond, but instead mustered all his strength and sprinted forward, using all the power he had in his life.
pity.
He was just an ordinary person.
He hadn't been moving for long when he became so tired he could hardly breathe, and his speed slowed down more and more.
finally.
They encountered that demon-level monster at an intersection!
Facing death, Chu Yang was calmer than he had imagined, while the man on his back, Yoshitsune, was trembling violently.
The sound of teeth clashing violently reached Chu Yang's ears.
The little boy was completely bewildered and looked lost. Before him stood a strange creature covered in black armor, somewhat resembling a moth. He looked at Chu Yang with a mocking gaze and said, "Actually, I've been following you all along, just wanting to see how you struggle to survive. Thanks to you, it's been very interesting. If I have the chance, I'd like to see it again."
Chu Yang put the person down and instructed, "I know you're in too much pain to move, but if you want your child to live, you have to move even if you can't."
After saying that, Chu Yang walked alone towards the moth monster. The man understood that Chu Yang intended to use his own life to buy them time, so he cried, pulled the child up, and jumped to the other side of the street.
The moth-like monster watched with interest, not stopping them, but instead feigning curiosity, asking, "What's the point of doing this? Do you really think you can stop my master?"
He took off his loose tie, tied it around his hand, and then pulled out a cigarette and lit it before answering, "I said from the beginning that it was pointless, but before I die, I want to ask you a question."
"Ask away." The moth-like monster grinned; it hadn't encountered such an interesting human in a long time.
"Did you meet a girl around here two months ago?"
"What child? Hmm? Oh! I remember now, there really was a child. I was in a good mood that day, so I went for a walk. Halfway there, I felt like I bumped into something, but it turned out to be a person—"
The moth-like monster laughed heartily, "She was too weak, like an ant. I didn't even notice her. I just happened to bump into her, and she died. Hahaha!"
"Okay, got it." Chu Yang threw the last cigarette butt at his feet and stomped it out before rushing towards the moth monster.
The moth-like monster scratched his head and lightly waved his hand, sending Chu Yang flying.
Chu Yang crashed into a car parked on the side of the road like a doll, denting the car door and shattering the glass.
"Haha, you don't actually think you're a hero, do you?"
"Well then, Mr. Hero, I still need to find that mother and child, so I'll be leaving now. You can just stay here and wait to die."
As Chu Yang listened to the mocking words of the Moth Monster, he kept spitting out blood, and the world before his eyes gradually dimmed.
I don't know how much time passed.
He heard someone calling his name.
"Hey, newbie, still sleeping here?"
"Get up, it's time for a meeting!"
