Chapter 3, Blood Sacrifice to All Directions

Receiving such a response, Ji Yunhe was actually a bit confused: "He? Saved you?"

Their eyes met, and they silently gazed at each other for a long time. The monster still did not speak. Ji Yunhe let out a bitter smile: "The wounds on your body were just treated with medicine yesterday, and today they have been torn open and are bleeding again. Don't expect to heal in this dungeon. If this continues, you might die in this dungeon..."

No one is allowed to leave

Snow in March is astonishing

Li Shu's mouth was gushing blood, torn apart by the raging winds in the formation. The ground beneath everyone's feet suddenly trembled, resembling an earthquake. In front of Li Shu's formation, the earth abruptly split open, revealing a deep chasm. The sounds from within the chasm resembled the howls of vengeful spirits, as if the suppressed rage of a colossal demon, confined for a hundred years beneath the earth, was roaring, instilling fear and trepidation in all.

Cloud and Grain

Upon seeing Ji Yunhe approach, Lin Haoqing's expression slightly darkened: "Guardian, are you here today to protect this traitor and monster?"

On that day, the dying blow of the merman in the dungeon made Ji Yunhe reflect on his essence as the soul of the sea, and today, this cat demon, Li Shu...

In Lin Haoqing's words, the century-old foundation of the Monster Taming Valley is the legendary "Ten Directions Formation." This formation can suppress the demonic energy of the monsters that enter the valley, making the entire Monster Taming Valley resemble a cage covered in talismans by a great master, where all monsters that enter are bound.

Ji Yunhe glanced at Xue Sanyue and pushed Qu Xiaoxing, saying: "Let's go"

Ji Yunhe was deep in thought when suddenly she felt the ground shake violently

Well, today, do not blame me for disregarding the bonds of camaraderie from the past

Ji Yunhe was a bit taken aback, having not heard Lin Haoqing call her name in such a manner for many years. She stood up and said: "Young Valley Master?"

Lin Haoqing's idea is not, in fact, a prejudice

In the dungeon, a person and a demon quietly gaze at each other across the cage, and in the silence, they coexist harmoniously, remarkably without any awkwardness

The freedom they desire, after this, will no longer be a dream

Ji Yunhe gazed at the snow in March

Ji Yunhe nodded, then walked over to sit on a nearby stone, not intending to rush to compete with Lin Haoqing.

Lin Canglan's deep voice echoed throughout the Demon Taming Valley: "Release the phoenix; the crime is unforgivable. Both this demon and Xue Sanyue shall be executed."

"Qu Xiaoxing." Ji Yunhe turned her head, her expression more serious than ever, "Let's go."

Ji Yunhe could not help but shield her eyes from the intense brilliance, and after the light dissipated, amidst the sunlight, a woman in a blue robe stood alone in the air, her long hair flowing in the breeze

The formation of Li Shu has dimmed, much like the life of Li Shu. He quietly kneels on the ground, gazing up at the blinding sun, as if looking up at his own faith. A smile graces his lips, not as if life is about to wither, but rather as if he has witnessed the warm sun of February, the melting of ice and snow, and the gradual blooming of spring flowers

This is not insincere; Ji Yunhe genuinely admires the inherent resilience of this merman and empathizes with his situation, as if she is sympathizing with another version of herself in this world

All the demon tamers became agitated, and even Lin Haoqing was somewhat shocked

Ji Yunhe soared into the air with her sword, gazing in the direction where the crack extended. If she was not mistaken, it should have reached the place where the merfolk were imprisoned. Such a great commotion would undoubtedly cause the dungeon to be shattered and even collapse... but that merfolk...

Apart from Xue Sanyue and Qu Xiaoxing, no one in the Demon Taming Valley openly favors Ji Yunhe. In this battle, Xue Sanyue will be taken away. As long as Ji Yunhe can get Qu Xiaoxing to leave, she can take the opportunity to sneak into the valley master's room to steal the antidote and then escape

Qing Ji waved her sleeve, and the dust on the ground flew up to the sky, disappearing without a trace. Yet, one or two particles brushed against Xue San Yue's cheek, seemingly carrying residual warmth, still capable of causing a pang in the heart. Xue San Yue's body trembled slightly. Qing Ji held her hand.

Although Xue San Yue appeared weak, her words were spoken with great clarity, and her eyes glinted with a cold light, showing no intention of retreat.

Let me take a look at this

"Guardian, oh dear, my Guardian!" He arrived in haste, causing the merman in the cell to turn his gaze towards him. Upon meeting the merman's eyes, Qu Xiaoxing instinctively felt a chill run down his spine, both startled and frightened. He thought to himself that despite the merman being beaten to such a state, the murderous intent in his gaze was still quite intimidating. He quickly stepped over to Ji Yunhe's side and whispered in her ear, "Miss Xue has been captured"

Blue Feather Phoenix, I offer my body, sacrificing blood to the ten directions, to assist you in breaking the formation

The phrase "just like an old friend returning" that Xue San Yue relayed to Ji Yun He suddenly found its source.

In the snowy March, her voice was very soft. Amidst the howling wind, she did not care whether Li Shu had heard her words. She gazed steadily at Li Shu, as if speaking to him, yet also as if speaking to herself

In the snowy March, she appeared refined, yet she never pondered the thoughts of others, which is why she could not become a demon tamer like Ji Yunhe; she could only rely on her proud strength to conquer.

She resembles the spirit of a demon tamer from fifty years ago, embodying freedom, passion, willfulness, and an unparalleled strength that is invincible. These characteristics are vividly manifested in her.

Suddenly, the shadows dissipated, and where the phoenix resided, a brilliant azure light burst forth, shattering like an explosion in the sunlight

Thus, witnessing the demonic aura of Li Shu today in the Valley of Demon Control is truly astonishing

At this critical moment of life and death, the cat demon Li Shu, who had remained silent all along, suddenly raised his eyebrows and eyes. In his uniquely colored pupils, light shimmered and flowed, and a demonic aura spread around him, causing the temperature in the surroundings of the Discipline Hall to drop sharply by three degrees.

The woman in the blue attire descended gracefully from the sky, and as her feet touched the ground, the long wind swept away all the dust in the Valley of Demon Taming

Qu Xiaoxing was taken aback and took a moment to respond: "Are you saying... this time, it is the Valley Master's intention? To interrogate Miss Xue at this time, wouldn't that prove that the Valley Master..."

Until today, almost no one remembers how the Valley of Demon Tamers originated. Everyone only knows that these four places are the "detention" sites for the demon tamers.

Without answering, he remained silent for a moment before uttering two words

Li Shu pulled Xue San Yue close to him. This action seemed to have exhausted all his remaining strength. He gasped for a long time, coughed up a lot of blood, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Qing Ji, take her away"

However, as the messenger walked halfway, Ji Yunhe turned back to glance at the merman, only to see that the merman was all alone, suspended by chains in the dungeon

Hypocrisy

Ji Yunhe clenched her fists. ... She gritted her teeth, contemplating a way to rescue, there must be a way to save her, Xue Sanyue cannot die here ...

Before the words had left the speaker's lips, a cry of a phoenix soared from the depths of the abyss, piercing the sky

Indeed, Ji Yunhe wanted to escape. However, it was not a sudden impulse; she assessed the current situation. Lin Canglan, along with all the beast tamers, was present here. After all, having let the Qingyu Luan bird go, the Beast Taming Valley would undoubtedly face punishment from the court, and he would certainly spare no effort. However, ever since the Grand Master used poison to control the beast tamers, the techniques to deal with great monsters like the Luan bird had long been lost in this world. Even if all the beast tamers combined their strength, it would not necessarily be enough to contend with this Luan bird.

Li Shuding gazed at the snow in March, her eyes filled with a determination that seemed to have long anticipated this day

The phoenix spreads its wings, its feathers resembling clouds, soaring straight up. In an instant, a fierce wind arises, and the sky is thrown into chaos. Within the Valley of Monster Control, the grass and trees are uprooted, and rocks are sent flying. Shadows swirl above the heads of the people in the valley, with the green feathers obscuring the sunlight, enveloping the entire Valley of Monster Control in the shadow of the green-feathered phoenix.

In the snowy March, she suddenly smiled: "Li Shu, you make me feel like a joke"

Indeed, the young master ordered that Xue San Yue sever ties with her slave, and further punish that cat demon. Miss Xue was unwilling, and the situation remains at a standstill over there

All disciples of the Demon Taming Valley summoned their magical instruments to form a formation in preparation, yet at that moment, no one anticipated that the crack in front of the Li Shu formation would unexpectedly expand at an astonishing speed, faster than one could cover their ears

How could she not understand Xue Sanyue's thoughts? Xue Sanyue knew that today she was most likely unable to leave the Demon Taming Valley, so her words were meant for everyone. She was clarifying her relationship with Ji Yunhe to prevent the Demon Taming Valley from pursuing Ji Yunhe's faults after her death

At this moment, Qu Xiaoxing seemed to come to his senses from what had just happened and suddenly pulled Ji Yunhe, saying: "The Valley Master is here! Guardian, you should hurry up and show yourself in front of the Valley Master!"

The next day, before dawn, Lin Haoqing went to the dungeon again

The girl in the green attire was taken aback for a moment, her steps quickening as she seemed to glide like the wind, stopping just in front of Shu. "Xiao Lishu," she gently caressed Lishu's face. Under the watchful gaze of Xue Sanyue, the two old acquaintances, like a pair of perfect match made in a story, exchanged a glance. "You risked your life to save me?"

It is surprisingly similar to snow, with a resemblance of seventy percent in March.

Ji Yunhe glanced at Lin Canglan, then looked around. At this moment, all the demon tamers in the valley were gazing towards the direction of the Qingyu Luan bird and Xue Sanyue.

Ji Yunhe tightened the corners of her lips: "The order from the valley master requires Lin Haoqing to judge the people. What do you want me to think of as a solution?"

"Did you not say that you would not tame a demon? Where did you catch such a demon, one that is clearly difficult to approach and possesses great power?" She was very curious, "How did you make him submit?"

As if to respond to Xue Sanyue's inquiry, a cry of the phoenix resounded through the heavens, and the earth at both ends of the fissure suddenly heaved up!

Ji Yunhe also raised a barrier in the midst of the raging wind, protecting herself and Qu Xiaoxing

After the commotion yesterday, there are already fewer people coming to watch the show today. Ji Yunhe walked into the dungeon while yawning, and Lin Haoqing's assistants noticed her and greeted her: "Guardian."

A century ago, the giant demon bird, the Luan, emerged in the sky. The Luan possessed immense demonic power, causing turmoil and unrest among the people of the world.

Blue Feather Phoenix, I offer my body as a blood sacrifice to assist you in breaking the formation

The responses of the Beast Tamers echoed throughout the valley

Qu Xiaoxing was anxiously scratching her head beside her: "Sister March! ... ... Oh no! Other matters can be set aside, but this is about releasing the phoenix! Once the phoenix is released, it will inevitably lead to great suffering for all living beings! How can Sister March allow the cat demon to commit such a grave mistake!"

Why

The sword energy transformed into a blade, slicing through the cold wind, and struck directly towards Li Shu.

The cry of the underground phoenix interrupted Lin Haoqing's words, the tremors of the earth intensified, the fissures widened, and everything was being torn apart before Xue Sanyue's eyes

Behind Lin Haoqing, all the demon tamers were watching Ji Yunhe. Who does not know the relationship between Ji Yunhe and Xue Sanyue? Lin Haoqing's people were staring with wide eyes, waiting to catch her in a compromising situation

Qing Ji, however, smiled gently and said, "Alright, let me stretch my muscles and bones."

Did you have such intentions from the very beginning

But in March, Xue quietly gazed at Li Shu, looking at his profile, as the blood-red formations swirled around them, allowing the wild wind to tug at her garments and brows.

As the crowd was taken aback, Li Shu withdrew his hand from his mouth, and blood gushed forth from his heart. He pushed Xue Sanyue aside, using blood as ink and his fingers as a brush, he drew a blood array on the ground. An aura of demonic energy surged around him, transforming from colorless to red. Amidst the crimson, his garments fluttered, and his hair danced wildly with the demonic energy.

Of course, there are also stubborn monsters; some monsters refuse to cooperate with the beast tamers until death. However, I have never encountered one as indifferent as this merman

How formidable is Xue Sanyue? No one in the Demon Taming Valley knows anymore. All that is known is that after turning sixteen, Xue Sanyue has never lost a battle against demons. Moreover, during this period, the demon tamers from the four major demon taming regions have come to seek guidance and exchange knowledge. Over nearly a decade, in countless battles, Xue Sanyue has been able to secure victory without exerting full strength.

To break the Ten Directions Formation, one must find ten formation nodes in order to successfully conduct the blood sacrifice. Li Shu... How much time did you spend finding the ten formation nodes in the Demon Control Valley? You risked your life to release her... but what about me?

Qing Ji glanced at Xue San Yue, momentarily taken aback

She feigned confusion and surprise: "Oh? How could Xue San Yue commit such a foolish act? I implore the young master to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Before them, a demon tamer lay dead on the ground

He said: "I will help you destroy the Demon Taming Valley"

But at the moment she sat down, the merman opened his eyes, glanced at Ji Yunhe, and in his ice-blue pupils, there was not a trace of emotional fluctuation, before he closed his eyes again

Lin Haoqing slightly curled the corners of his lips, letting out a cold snort from his nostrils, making it difficult to discern whether it was a smile or a sneer

The merman watched as Ji Yunhe's figure departed from the prison, no longer concerned about how Qu Xiaoxing was entangled in her emotions. He closed his eyes, no longer caring about his surroundings, or even himself in the slightest. He resembled a meditative old monk, silent and tranquil.

It is of no consequence; since the strategy of psychological warfare is indeed psychological, it is not pleasant to engage in it. Today, she likely has no intention of employing any tricks. Moreover..." He paused, his gaze drifting far away towards the direction of the Discipline Hall, "Even if she wins this first round, it does not matter.

Although the demon tamers are currently controlled by the court in four secret locations in the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest, the establishment of the Demon Taming Valley is different from the other three places, as it was not initiated by the court's will

Ji Yunhe felt that something was amiss

It is indeed the fox demon Qing Shu, the servant of the Valley Master, who has arrived. Following Qing Shu, several demon tamers are also present, including Lin Canglan, who has come here in a wheelchair.

I don't know, it's just... when I encountered him, I was busy capturing another monster, and it seemed I accidentally intruded into his territory. At that time, I was injured a bit, and when I ran into him, I thought I was doomed, but unexpectedly, he saved me.

Li Shu's blood-red eyes seemed to have not heard a word of Xue San Yue's words at all

If it is merely because March, like his old acquaintance, is covered in snow, he would save her, fall in love with her, and even willingly become her slave; then the only thing that separates him from true love is probably that old acquaintance

Li Shu rarely spoke, and Ji Yunhe seldom saw Li Shu say more than a word to anyone other than Xue Sanyue, not even to Ji Yunhe herself

The snow beside him in March also gazed at the sunlight

When a monster dies, it turns to dust and departs; the more powerful it is, the more it transforms into formlessness, leaving not a trace behind

Seeing that the wounds on the merman had already been treated by Ji Yunhe, he did not say much, merely instructing to hang the merman up again. He asked a question, and upon receiving no answer, he punished the merman with a lightning strike.

He understands Ji Yunhe, just as Ji Yunhe understands him

She looks like a little girl who has completely fallen in love

In the Valley of Beast Tamers, various methods of punishment are employed. These methods are not only used against the monsters but are also applied to beast tamers who are different from themselves

Ji Yunhe was taken aback, looking up at Lin Haoqing, who was mouthing the words: "Today, she must die."

"Xue San Yue." In the presence of Xue San Yue, Lin Haoqing spoke to Li Shu, "Your cat demon has killed the demon tamer from my Demon Taming Valley. If you continue to protect it, you will be a traitor to my Demon Taming Valley and an outlier among demon tamers. I can strip you of your identity as a demon tamer, and neither you nor this cat demon will leave here alive today." Lin Haoqing raised his sword, pointing directly at Xue San Yue

Alas, the current demon tamers actually think they can control me with such a low-level formation

Without saying a word, he silently gazed at the snow in March, the color of blood had completely faded from his face, and he could not control his body as he slowly leaned back.

Lin Haoqing's gaze sharpened, no longer hesitating, as he channeled his energy and infused it into the sword, striking fiercely towards Li Shu.

This is natural. The mermaid is stubborn; I will trouble the guardian this afternoon. Lin Haoqing said this and turned to leave

As he was about to leave, Lin Haoqing turned his head slightly and saw Ji Yunhe with her head down, clenching her fist.

In accordance with Shuyu's last wish, I will certainly help him fulfill it. I will take you with me

Lin Haoqing spoke to her, and behind his polite and gentle face lay a mocking smile, filled with genuine delight.

In the snowy March, just as one was about to raise the sword to block, they were held down by Li Shu. Li Shu stood in place, like a mountain peak, immovable. When the blade of sword energy struck before him, it was as if it had collided with a transparent wall. With a loud "bang," the blade of sword energy shattered, and the force surged out, sweeping across the Demon Taming Valley. Wherever it passed, it crushed everything in its path, causing flowers, grass, and trees to be uprooted.

Behind Ji Yunhe, the screams of the demon tamers were incessant

As Li Shu gritted his teeth, the formation awakened the Qingyu Luan bird while simultaneously draining Li Shu's life force

Snow in March! This is not the time for your sentimental feelings!

Ke Ji Yunhe had no way to scold him like this, because she also had to be hypocritical

However, she had no way to ask Xue Sanyue for an exit regarding these words

Everyone was greatly shocked upon hearing this. This cat demon, Li Shu, actually intends to use her own life to sacrifice for the formation! To resurrect the giant demon, the Phoenix!

But the snow did not move in March

Lin Haoqing smiled faintly upon hearing these words. He was naturally pleased, as with Xue Sanyue's statement, he could logically eliminate Ji Yunhe's left and right arms.

Lin Haoqing's lips curled slightly at the corners, as he turned his face slightly, whispering with a very soft voice near Ji Yunhe's ear: "Why not stop pretending"

Not long after, Qu Xiaoxing came to find me

Qu Xiaoxing was taken aback

Guardian... you are..." He did not dare to speak, only able to convey with his lips, "Want to run?"

In the snowy March, Xue watched as Li Shu's form slowly transformed into dust and dissipated, as if her breath had ceased along with his.

The sound of snow in March seems to have become unable to reach Li Shu's ears at this moment

It is unknown which part of his body is struck by the lightning that causes more pain, thus it is impossible to inflict more targeted harm on him

When a yokai forms a master-servant agreement with a yokai tamer, the yokai will transfer a portion of its power to the tamer, serving both as a gift to the master and a symbol of its submission. After relinquishing its yokai power, a yokai that still possesses such an aura is something Ji Yunhe has never encountered before

The azure-feathered phoenix has been awakened

Oh? Is he really willing to return to the Demon Valley with you and become your slave just for this? He has his own territory, and I assume he is not some insignificant little demon. His demeanor is so noble and imposing; his previous identity must have been quite remarkable...

Why did he save you

"Li Shu, what do you intend to do?" Xue Sanyue asked, looking up at Li Shu.

He watched helplessly as Xue Sanyue was taken into the Discipline Hall

The cat demon, Li Shu, has never revealed her true strength from beginning to end

She quietly watched Lin Canglan, who with a wave of his hand issued a command, prompting all the demon tamers to launch an attack against the Qingji.

He should not be able to escape; he currently has no strength at all

The cat demon fell to the ground, stirring up the dust beneath.

Awakening the Azure Feathered Phoenix and breaking the array of the ten directions cannot be accomplished in a single day or night

With each lightning strike, he showed no reaction at all, as if he could control his physiological responses. He hung his head, closed his eyes, and remained silent, making it impossible for anyone to observe his weaknesses.

In March, Xue watched them as if she were observing a story from a play.

Who made them so close, growing up together as "siblings"

As he approached, Ji Yunhe suddenly pushed him away and exclaimed, "What are you doing here!"

No, the Discipline Hall is still in session, and they have not yet been detained

The seemingly eternally cold expression remained utterly unperturbed, yet those eyes quietly followed Ji Yunhe.

Ji Yunhe frowned: "Has the examination taken this long?"

She was lost in thought, and when she looked up, she saw a pair of ice-blue eyes staring at her, which left her momentarily stunned

The assistant beside Lin Haoqing was utterly perplexed by his actions: "Young Master Shao, are you really going to leave just one protector inside? Yesterday, when we saw the protector, it seemed as if... she was employing a strategy of appeasement. If she were to use some means today to make the merman speak..."

Ji Yunhe stared blankly at Li Shu. She had always known that the cat demon Li Shu was not weak, but today, the overwhelming demonic aura emanating from Li Shu exceeded Ji Yunhe's imagination

A loud voice suddenly echoed from outside the dungeon: "Transmit the order of the Valley Master, the Guardian must immediately proceed to the Hall of Discipline!" The shouts grew louder, resonating into the dungeon, until the person arrived, breathless, in front of Ji Yunhe, kneeling on one knee, cupping their fist to convey the order: "Transmit the order of the Valley Master! The Guardian must immediately proceed to the Hall of Discipline!"

Why is that

Therefore, almost no monsters are willing to enter into such agreements with beast tamers, unless they are defeated, forced, or truly completely tamed by the beast tamers, as was the case with Xue Sanyue before...

If she were to lose Xue San Yue, Ji Yun He would be no different from suffering a severe blow

So, this is what it means

I will use my own body to assist you in breaking the formation, which means to resolutely sacrifice my life to achieve this goal

This is the last opportunity I am giving you

I know," Ji Yunhe replied calmly

This has been the rule among demon tamers since ancient times. If Lin Haoqing wishes to deal with Li Shu, he naturally must adhere to such rules. However, in the Demon Taming Valley, where demons are treated like livestock, perhaps no one expected Xue Sanyue to have such a strong reaction

Ji Yunhe felt a bit anxious and couldn't help but recall many years ago, after she had become familiar with Xue Sanyue, out of curiosity about the powerful demon, she had quietly asked Xue Sanyue during a moment when Shu had left.

At the same time as the conclusion of the agreement, the monsters will also be under the protection of the beast tamers, and will no longer be hunted by other beast tamers.

In the snowless March, Ji Yunhe is nothing more than a cat stripped of its claws and fangs, unable to stir up any waves.

Lin Haoqing nodded seriously: "Earlier today, the Valley Master received a letter of accusation at the Lihong Hall, stating that the demon tamer Xue Sanyue has an improper relationship with her slave Li Shu. The Valley Master has ordered me to interrogate Xue Sanyue today."

This afternoon, I will be going to the Hall of Discipline, so I will leave this merman to you to tame first

As the situation has developed to this point, the betrayal of Xue Sanyue and the contest for the position of valley master between Ji Yunhe and Lin Haoqing are no longer the focus. The attendees have not witnessed the fierce battle between the ten beast tamers and the phoenix a century ago, yet the devastation wrought by the giant demon phoenix is well known to all present

The world refers to the emergence of the giant demon, the Luan bird, as the Chaos of the Blue Feathers. After the Chaos of the Blue Feathers, no demon was able to roam the world freely. Subsequently, the Beast Tamers established the Valley of Beast Tamers to honor the ten Beast Tamers and fortified the Ten Directions Formation to prevent the Luan bird from escaping in the future

March is crazy with snow

Li Shu, are they not crazy?

Ha. "In March, the snow gives a cold laugh, 'I do not want this opportunity.'"

The ground shook violently, nearly causing Ji Yunhe to lose her footing. The fissure extended forward, resembling the axe that Pangu used to create the heavens and the earth, splitting the entire Demon Taming Valley in two! Accompanied by this, the previously transparent formation in the sky was shattered in an instant, the formation breaking apart like a flurry of fine snow, swirling throughout the Demon Taming Valley.

She was silent for a moment: "If there is a chance, I truly wish to let you go"

This is a common method used in the Demon Taming Valley, where demons are punished continuously until their psychological defenses are breached, prompting them to begin exhibiting the desired behaviors in cooperation with the demon tamers. Once they comply even once, the demon tamers will reward the demons, and over time, the demons will become accustomed to obeying the demon tamers, following all their commands.

"Snow in March! Why are you still dazed!" Lin Haoqing rose into the air on his sword, standing amidst the storm, creating a barrier to keep himself grounded against the howling winds. He infused his voice with magical power, allowing his words to pierce through the roaring gale and reach everyone's ears, "Why aren't you stopping him!"

She was taken aback

Li Shu gazed at Xue San Yue, his hand on her shoulder tightening for a moment

She quietly looked up at Lin Haoqing, striving to keep her expression neutral, just as he had said that the snow in March was completely unrelated to her

Until now, Ji Yunhe still remembers the day when the weather was fine and sunny, with a warm breeze, and the gentle expression on Xue Sanyue's usually cold face as she spoke those words

Ji Yunhe: "Put down that chain and let him lie on the ground for a while"

Ji Yunhe's eyes widened slightly, and Xue Sanyue, from that direction, also saw the shape of Lin Haoqing's lips. She let out a cold laugh: "Young Master Shaogu, how many years have you been waiting for this?" Holding her sword, Xue Sanyue steadied herself with the support of Li Shu, raising her sword to point directly at Lin Haoqing: "Then let's not waste any more words. Ji Yunhe, if you dare to stop me today, I will kill you as well."

From now on, the vast heavens and earth, as well as the immortal islands overseas, are all within reach; there is no need to remain a prisoner in this valley any longer

I do not know either; later I asked him, and he only said, "Just like an old friend returning." Xue San Yue's response seemed somewhat indifferent, "Perhaps I resemble someone he used to know."

At that time, Xue San Yue merely scratched his head in response to Ji Yun He’s question

Why does this cat demon love Xue Sanyue so much that it is willing to give up everything from its past to become her slave

He, like Ji Yunhe, could see through the false mask of the other at a glance, revealing the most genuine face beneath it

Ah?

Before Ji Yunhe could contemplate further, the demonic aura surrounding Li Shu grew increasingly intense. The cold wind, sharp as a blade, swept past the ears of the demon tamers, and those with slightly weaker cultivation had already been cut by this wind, their flesh torn and blood flowing profusely from their bodies

However, the phoenix has just awakened, its strength has not yet been restored, and it will certainly not linger for long; it also lacks the energy to unleash a massacre

The mermaid looked at her, and even though she understood her words, there was no trace of fear in her eyes

Everyone, including Xue Sanyue, wore a look of astonishment

It is precisely because of her audacity that she dares to defy the world and fall in love with a monster

Regarding the cat demon that Xue Sanyue captured, Ji Yunhe actually did not have much understanding. Over the years, although Xue Sanyue claimed that Li Shu had helped her a great deal each time she exorcised demons, very few people in the Demon Taming Valley had actually seen Li Shu take action.

Lin Haoqing paid no attention to the love and hatred entanglements among the three. Standing with his sword drawn, he issued a command, and the remaining members of the Beast Taming Valley, still clear-headed, immediately took to the skies on their swords. In mid-air, they formed a golden formation, resembling a circular prison that trapped the Qingyu Phoenix within a spherical array. The beast tamers chanted incantations, and the golden light within the spherical formation surged brightly.

Qing Ji let out a soft exclamation: "Ah..." She expressed some regret, "You risked your life to save me."

You are also like a joke

She was held in Li Shu's arms, and she seemed to have sustained an injury on her shoulder, her expression somewhat pained

Attention everyone! Form ranks! Lin Haoqing shouted loudly amidst the sound of the wind, "Today, even if it costs us our lives, we must not allow the giant demon bird to escape from the Demon Taming Valley!"

Qu Xiaoxing anxiously pushed Ji Yunhe, saying: "Guardian, hurry up! Sister San Yue is in grave danger this time! You can only seize the opportunity to make a show of yourself now."

Received the order

Li Shu and Xue Sanyue established a master-servant contract in March. Li Shu is unable to go against Xue Sanyue's words; as long as Xue Sanyue commands Li Shu with the authority of a master, even if it requires Li Shu to take his own life on the spot, he must not resist

The warm spring breeze gently approaches, passing by Li Shu's side, yet it feels as cold as the winds that blow in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar

She said, "Li Shu said he likes me"

Ji Yunhe was once again taken aback, but it was not because of Li Shu; rather, she was astonished by Lin Haoqing

"Well, I have asked you this question too." Xue Sanyue interrupted Ji Yunhe.

Ji Yunhe narrowed her eyes and stepped forward, heading towards the outside of the dungeon

It turns out that it is just like the return of an old friend

Ji Yunhe was taken aback again: "The Discipline Hall?" She felt a sense of unease in her heart, "Which demon tamer has committed an offense? Is Lord Shaogu making a move?"

Until today, Xue San Yue has been imprisoned in the Hall of Discipline, yet the cat demon that has accompanied her for many years did not make any attempt to intervene? Even the dying merman imprisoned in this dungeon fought desperately yesterday, causing the dungeon to tremble, while the unscathed cat demon made not a single sound?

Before Ji Yunhe could think much, a person came flying on a crooked sword from the direction of the merman's cage. It was Qu Xiaoxing, who began shouting from a distance: "Guardian! Guardian!"

Ji Yunhe watched him leave, seeing him take away the group of assistants who had followed him. Unlike yesterday, today he left not a single person behind, appearing as if Ji Yunhe, even if he were to allow the merman to speak today, was indifferent to the outcome of this contest.

I wish to leave the Demon Taming Valley; now is a fortuitous opportunity.

But these regrets, when heard in the ears of March in the snow, are like ... ...

The master-servant agreement established between the youkai and the youkai tamer is more akin to a curse, a curse upon the youkai that submits. By becoming a slave to the youkai tamer, the youkai not only loses a part of its essence but is also forever bound to its master. Unless the master is willing to lift this curse, the youkai will remain eternally subservient under the bloodline of its master.

Ji Yunhe quietly watched Xue Sanyue; others did not understand Xue Sanyue, but Ji Yunhe did.

This young master of the valley, when did he cultivate such profound skills

Therefore, for Ji Yunhe, this is the best opportunity to leave

Ke Ji Yunhe knew that this cat demon would not be weak. She had not fought with him, but her intuition, after encountering thousands of demons, told her this.

She deeply loves Li Shu, as the play says, pledging life and death to each other. Even when Li Shu fights for his life, executing his own "schemes and tricks," she cannot bear to interrupt him

Subsequently, the Grand Master developed the poison known as "Frostbite," gaining control over the Beast Tamers and transforming the Beast Taming Valley into a tool for the court to manage the Beast Tamers. Following this, the royal family emulated the model of the Beast Taming Valley, establishing the Beast Taming Platform in the north, the Beast Taming Island in the east, and the Beast Taming Mountain in the west. Whenever a child with the ability to tame beasts is born, they are sent to these four locations, separated from their parents, to facilitate the court's supervision.

In an instant, the air suddenly became still, as if in a dream. Before Ji Yunhe, a long green feather slowly floated by, its color a deep emerald, as if it had captured the essence of the nine layers of azure sky within this single feather.

A master beast tamer, in conjunction with nine renowned beast tamers from across the world, lured the phoenix into this valley. They battled the phoenix for ten days, ultimately sacrificing the blood of the ten to form a ten-directional array, sealing the phoenix with their lives.

Suddenly, Li Shu reached out his hand and grabbed Xue Sanyue, who was caught off guard and pulled into this story

When Lin Haoqing said this, his tone was flat, yet it sent a chill down Ji Yunhe's spine

No one expected it! Who could have imagined it! As a "slave" of a demon tamer, this cat demon, Li Shu, actually had the audacity to resurrect the Qingyu Luan bird!

Perhaps it is precisely because those in power are often confused, that Xue San Yue did not continue to inquire about Li Shu after reaching this point. Meanwhile, Ji Yun He, who stood by, is still pondering this question to this day

But how could it possibly be irrelevant? In this Valley of Beast Tamers, who does not know that Xue Sanyue is Ji Yunhe's right-hand person? It is precisely because of Xue Sanyue's presence that Ji Yunhe was able to quickly transform from the identity of the valley's female leader to the most recognized beast tamer in the Valley of Beast Tamers.

Only these two characters, no further explanation.

Ah. The woman in the green attire suddenly curled her lips into a wicked smile. Without uttering a word, she simply raised her hand and snapped her fingers. With a crisp sound, the formation formed by hundreds of demon tamers in the air shattered in response, leaving everyone either dead or injured, scattering like dust.

But now, Li Shu slightly parted her lips: "In March, you have always wanted to leave the Demon Taming Valley, today, you may leave."

In the Valley of the Demon Tamer, how many people support Ji Yunhe's rise to power because of Xue Sanyue remains unknown. However, it is certain that if anything were to happen to Xue Sanyue, Ji Yunhe's status would undoubtedly plummet.

Although the snow in March can be fierce, within the Demon Taming Valley, no one dares to speak disrespectfully to her, and even the valley master seems to intentionally or unintentionally indulge her

Qu Xiaoxing was taken aback: "You know what is happening, yet you are standing here calmly. Why not think of a way to save the person?"

Li Shu looked at her, opened his mouth to speak, but suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood

Only then did Li Shu transform his qi into a blade with one hand, and suddenly stab himself in the heart with it

Although Ji Yunhe had little contact with Li Shu, she could keenly perceive that this cat demon actually did not like demon tamers, and one could even say that he did not like humans at all

Lin Haoqing spent more than half a day on him, yet it was the same as yesterday; it was nearly noon when Ji Yunhe finally arrived.

Even in death, he shall forever serve the master's sons and grandsons, and their descendants, as a slave and servant

I apologize

At this moment, Ji Yunhe clenched her fists and furrowed her brows, not solely due to the interests that would be involved in the future, but because her friend, Xue Sanyue, was enduring an interrogation in the dark confines of the Discipline Hall.

I apologize

Ji Yunhe has sorted everything out clearly

Ji Yunhe left this sentence for Qu Xiaoxing and then hurried away

Ji Yunhe glanced at Xue Sanyue, their eyes met, but Ji Yunhe did not say another word to her. Instead, she turned her head and fixed her gaze on Lin Haoqing, leaning closer to Lin Haoqing's ear and softly saying: "Young Valley Master, both you and I are well aware of the capabilities of Xue Sanyue and this cat demon's technique. Engaging in a fight with her would undoubtedly result in significant losses. The Demon Taming Valley is in need of personnel at this moment, so it would be better to..."

In the snowy March, Xue looked down at Qing Ji's hand, yet had not had the chance to respond when a long sword suddenly struck from the side

After this, the Valley of Demon Tamers will undoubtedly suffer heavy casualties, and will face the court's punishment, leading to great chaos, leaving them unable to pursue the three of them

The phoenix has just been born! Take advantage of its weakness and kill it

Many demon tamers, caught off guard, fell into the abyss. Some attempted to rise with their swords, only to be swept away by the raging winds within the abyss, disappearing without a trace

When Ji Yunhe arrived in front of the Discipline Hall, the grand hall, which usually appeared extremely imposing, had now collapsed by more than half. Xue Sanyue had handcuffs on both hands, yet the dark iron chain connecting them had already been torn apart by her.

That old thing has always been targeting her; it's just that others are unaware of it. Ji Yunhe waved her hand: "Go investigate who delivered the secret letter to the Valley Master, and also, is Li Shu currently being held separately from Xue Sanyue?"

Leave the difference

As everyone gazed up at the returning celestial bird, the Qingyu Luan, only Ji Yunhe looked towards the place where Xue Sanyue was located

In March, the snow has faded from her face, leaving behind a pallor that reflects a moment of awakening.

Like the ruler of hell

Therefore, this battle is destined to be lost

She walked step by step towards Li Shu. Her appearance bore a resemblance to Xue San Yue at seventy percent, yet her gait was enchanting and graceful in a way that Xue San Yue had never possessed.

Young Master Shaogu! Just as Lin Haoqing was about to take action, Ji Yunhe called out loudly, stopping him.

Lin Haoqing snorted coldly and said: "The century-old foundation of the Demon Taming Valley cannot be destroyed just because you, a mere monster, say so"

With a tremendous bang, the Qingyu Luan bird suddenly burst forth from the ground

The woman has a graceful figure, and her appearance ... ...

Is it because of "Just like an old friend returning"?

This monster has fallen in love with the demon tamer

In March, Xue turned her head to look at Li Shu, her expression revealing a hint of surprise.
