Chapter 103: The Mountain Elf

  The old demon rabbit Bu Le’s expression was unusually solemn. He disregarded the disciples of the Jilong Sect that had fought into a ball of mess on the open ground. He pulled along Wen Leyang and entered a random house. He then launched his ‘insight’ of the spiritual eye to examine the jade knife meticulously, while he repeatedly probed onto the jade knife with the Buddhism Dharmachakra mudra hand gesture. He fiddled with it for a long while before frowning and looking up to Wen Leyang, “It is fine, there is nothing in the jade knife.”

  Wen Leyang almost jumped up in rage, “The jade knife has already spoken, how is it fine?”

  The old demon rabbit had a puzzled expression, “What did the jade knife say?” Only then, Wen Leyang understood that the jade knife’s speech was the same as the Art of Voice Transmission launched by his grandmaster Chang Li, only he could hear the voice. The only difference was the grandmaster Chang Li’s voice was like a strand of ice thread, while the jade knife’s voice was like a stick of wooden stake.

  The jade knife suddenly spoke again, its stiff laughter echoed within the house, “This rabbit is not smart enough!”

  This time, the jade knife lifted the control over its voice transmission, so the old demon rabbit Bu Le could hear clearly. He was caught off guard and was so surprised that his hands were shaking. He directly tossed the jade knife back to Wen Leyang, “Where does this evil object come from?”

  Wen Leyang dared not hold out his hands to receive the object either. He jumped backwards to dodge it. The jade knife dropped to the floor and made a loud clanking noise. The Heaven’s Thunder from the heaven’s punishment could not harm it at all. So, it was naturally unsusceptible to shattering.

  The jade knife continued to laugh and scolded, “Coward! You are more stupid than the rabbit!”

  Wen Leyang inquired closely, “Rabbit or baldy? (Translator’s note: They both have the same pronunciation in Mandarin.)”

  “Rabbit! The rabbit with huge ears!” The jade knife sounded determined, it laid on the ground but it won’t budge an inch. It seemed that the jade knife could not move on its own.

  The old demon rabbit Bu Le’s state of mind was greatly shaken. He had the same thoughts as Wen Leyang earlier, thinking that the jade knife was calling him ‘baldy’. Unexpectedly, it could see through that he had a demon body.

  Ever since Bu Le cultivated into the human form, there were only three occasions where his demon body was seen through. The first time was by the wild monk he met when he first checked into the Great Mercy Temple. The second time was by his grandmaster, Chang Li while the third time was when he was recuperating from his injuries, by the Rainbow’s seven brothers that came to capture demons.

  Meanwhile, the house’s door creaked, a delicate and pretty small face stuck out. It was Wen Xiaoyi.

  Wen Leyang swayed his body once. He hastily blocked Wen Xiaoyi behind himself, gave a forced smile and asked, “Why did you come here?”

  Wen Xiaoyi totally had no idea what happened in there. She answered with a grin, “Wen Leyang, that pair of treasured weapons is not known as the Unmovable Sun and Moon’s Disasters, they are called the Yin’s Error and Yang’s Mistake!” Her crystal clear eyes were filled with a little girl’s pride.

  “Hah-hah, the little girl has knowledge! Tell me, how did you recognize the Yin’s Error and Yang’s Mistake?” The jade knife laid stiffly on the ground and remained unmoved but it still had a strong sense of participation.

  Wen Xiaoyi was shocked. She raised the big-muzzled weapon that was just returned by Wen Buzuo, her huge eyes rolled around, “Who’s…praising me?”

  Wen Leyang pointed towards the jade knife on the ground. Nonetheless, before he could speak, the old demon rabbit suddenly plucked a string of Buddhist prayer beads around his wrist and tossed out. It wrapped around the jade knife in extreme precision. Soon after that, he removed a huge string of Buddhist prayer beads from his chest pocket that he usually wore. He wound it around in three layers before he tossed it out again. The big string of beads firmly covered the outside of the jade knife. If he were to play the tossing ring game in a carnival, the vendor would surely be driven to tears of rage.

  The old demon rabbit Bu Le bustled about and when he was done, he exhaled a long breath, he chuckled and spoke, “Don’t worry, the jade knife will not be able to escape the monk’s Buddhist prayer beads!”

  The jade knife’s tone of speaking was filled with impatience, “I can never move since the beginning! The rabbit does not need to worry about that. Hey little girl, tell me what is Yin’s Error and Yang’s Mistake quick, hah-hah!”

  Wen Xiaoyi was too shy to look towards the old demon rabbit’s blushing face. She looked towards Wen Leyang. He nodded in confirmation. Only then, her fountain-like bright smile returned to her face, “In the past, I read from the witch-hunting recordings in the Life Trademark, it was said that the mountain gathered the essence of the sun and moon and gave birth to the mountain elf. The cruelest type of mountain elf was named ‘Guo Huan’, there were curved stings on its back in the ghastly pale color of the moon, also stood for Yin’s Error; there was a sun-like armor on its chest in the color of matte black, which was known as the Yang’s Mistake. Once ‘Guo Huan’ cultivated into the human form, the Yin’s Error and the Yang’s Mistake would become his treasured weapons.”

  Wen Xiaoyi had only finished telling the rough idea of the weapons when the jade knife roared with laughter. Its voice was still stiff and unpleasing, but that did not manage to conceal its happiness, “I did not expect that there is still someone who knows about our mountain elf, Guo Huan!”

  The old demon rabbit Bu Le’s expression obviously changed. He had never heard of such thing called ‘Guo Huan’. However, he knew all about mountain elves. Mountain elves were demonic rocks that cultivated into spirits. Mountain elves were demons bred by the mountain, some called them stone ghosts or mountain spirits. Judging by Wen Xiaoyi’s words, it seemed that the mountain elf that they came across was one of a kind.

  The jade knife was lying still on the ground. Wen Xiaoyi became more courageous. She stuck out her little face from behind Wen Leyang’s body, and said to the jade knife, “So you really are the Guo Huan?”

  Wen Leyang spoke almost concurrently, “The Unmovable Sun and Moon…that pair of Yin’s Error Yang’s Mistake, it was you who snatched the weapons away from Zi Que’s hands?

  On the other hand, the old rabbit demon Bu Le asked, “Are you in the jade knife, or are you a jade knife since the beginning?”

  The door creaked again as Mumu and Wen Buzuo walked into the house together. Mumu laughed as she spoke, “The Taoist priest Zi Que is still not awake. The disciples of the Jilong Sect are in a chaotic mess now. Watching them makes me worried, what are all of you talking about?”

  Wen Xiaoyi immediately advised her, “Do not be afraid!” Before her voice died away, the jade knife already gave a humph. It simultaneously spoke in three exactly same voices, but answered separately to Wen Xiaoyi, Wen Leyang, and the old demon rabbit:

  “The Drifting Mountain of Southwest that floats in between the sea and the sky! I am the Guo Huan that was born on the Drifting Mountain!”

  “That pair of Yin’s Error and Yang’s Mistake were the original precious weapons that fell from my body. After such a long time, it is about time they are found!”

  “My primordial spirit had since combined with the jade knife as one. I am the jade and the jade is me. The rabbit only knew how to check if there is a spirit that attached itself to the jade but he did not know that I am one with the knife since the beginning. What kind of bullshit can you find out from that?”

  The jade knife could, unexpectedly, speak in three voices. It spoke to three different persons. In a flash, the house turned into a bustling mess. Mumu cried out in surprise, Ah Dan immediately busted through the door and dashed into the house, he held his fists tightly and shielded himself in front of her. He looked around for a long while then scratched his head in puzzlement, for he could not find the enemy.

  The jade knife finished speaking and laughed reluctantly as if it had not fully expressed itself, “I can transmit my voice with my soul. Let alone three, I can even speak to tens and hundreds of people at once!”

  This time, the jade knife Guo Huan had only finished speaking when Ah Dan suddenly cheered once. It was as if he had suddenly discovered a new toy, he jumped over and picked up the jade knife from the middle of dense Buddhist prayer beads. He knocks it here and there.

  Guo Huan shouted a torrent of abuse from within the jade knife out of rage. The more he scolded, the more delighted Ah Dan was. Wen Leyang and the old monk tried to snatch it back on a few attempts but Ah Dan ran about everywhere at lightning speed. Both of them dared not act cruelly on him, so they were at a loss whether to cry or laugh. Mumu heaved a sigh, she took out her cellphone from her pocket and played an exceptionally noisy ringtone. Ah Dan immediately tossed aside the jade knife and ran in front of Mumu with his arm outstretched asking for the cell phone…

  Ah Dan ran away with the cellphone in his hands. The house abruptly quieted down. Wen Leyang placed the jade knife in his palm and laughed, “So you really can’t move?” His heart felt much sturdier now. Earlier when Ah Dan was holding the jade knife and toying with it for a long while, it did not struggle at all. The old demon rabbit Bu Le stretched out his hand and gestured. Two strings of big and small Buddhist prayer beads flew back into his hand, yet his expression still remained tensed up, “Be careful of his Yin’s Error Yang’s Mistake!”

  The jade knife Guo Huan sniggered twice, “It is good that you know that. Yin’s Error and Yang’s Mistake are powerful in my hands, much powerful than when the weapons were with that group of bastards that were expelled from the sect…” Before it could finish his sentence, Wen Buzuo suddenly interrupted it. He used the same voice as it as he sniggered, “So, you ought to allow the ‘Yin’s Error Yang’s Mistake’ to take a stroll outside now, so that we can experience the real power of this pair of precious weapons, and then we’ll talk!”

  There were many people of all ages in the house now. However, when it came to the experience in the Jianghu, no one could compete against Wen Buzuo. The old demon rabbit himself never entered the society all along, let alone Wen Leyang, Mumu and Wen Xiaoyi. Earlier when Ah Dan was knocking the jade knife here and there, Guo Huan broke out in a torrent of abuse from rage, but it still did not summon the treasured weapons.

  The jade knife Guo Huan became quiet all of a sudden, Wen Leyang’s gaze was filled with inquiries. He peered towards the old demon rabbit Bu Le once.

  Bu Le pondered for a moment before he was completely enlightened. He patted his head as he laughed, “I understand now! This jade knife is no mortal object, it is capable of nurturing a soul, while it was still a remnant soul it attached itself to the jade knife, after a long time it combined with the jade knife into one. In simple words, the jade knife is a soul’s instrument, while Guo Huan is an instrument’s soul right now. How much life vitality can it have? It must be fully exhausted from reclaiming that pair of treasured weapons before everyone’s eyes earlier. How can it still guide the treasured weapons? I was confused earlier. I was almost startled by it!”

  Wen Buzuo laughed so maniacally that it was hateful, “You can’t move at all, and you can’t use your treasured weapon, yet you are still pretending that you are some great…”

  Wen Leyang was relieved too, he smiled and shook his head as he interrupted Wen Buzuo, “Anyhow, this…Guo Huan here is considered to have saved my life.”

  Wen Buzuo’s expression was filled with defiance, “If it wasn’t for its disturbance, guiding away that puff of lightning, there is utterly no need for the third match. I will directly shoot the Taoist priest Qing Niao, and become famous in the world!” This was the matter that bothered Wen Buzuo the most. It was supposed to be his great victory. It was baffling that the big-muzzled weapon would lose its efficiency. If he were to make that shot successfully, Qing Niao would be no match to him. Qing Niao would have no choice but to admit defeat. He was in the house for the purpose of looking for an explanation here.

  Wen Leyang roared with laughter, he stretched out his arm and patted on Wen Buzuo’s shoulder, “You shouldn’t think that way. If it weren’t for this jade knife here, when Qing Niao ascended the mountain and launched the thunder-conjuration last time, perhaps I may not be able to survive that…”

  The jade knife Guo Huan suddenly spoke. This time his tone of speaking was more relaxed than earlier, “I cannot launch the Yin’s Error and Yang’s Mistake. However, since all of you obviously know what is this jade knife over here, why do you still refuse to respect me?”

  The few people in the house stood gazing at one another. No one understood the meaning behind those words. Wen Buzuo was the only one to bear all the responsibilities as he continued to laugh, “He is going to extort us again…”

  The jade knife completely disregarded him, “I thought all of you possess the Thunder Heart Sand? Why do you still act all confused!”

  Wen Xiaoyi frowned as she took a close look at the jade knife, her little face was terrified. She immediately took out the embroidered purse that was gifted to her by Chang Li. She opened it cautiously. A blue-colored arch light shone out from within in the blink of an eye. The embroidered purse was filled with silver-colored powder. Similar to the jade knife, it was the color of shimmery silver.

  Wen Leyang stared with wide eyes, as he weighed the jade knife in his hand, “You…this jade knife is made from the Thunder Heart Sand?”

  Guo Huan had only realized that they truly did not know, so he suppressed his impatience as he explained to them, “Legend says that there is a Thunder Heart Swamp hidden within a mountain in the South. The lightning bolt struck the swamp nonstop, through days and nights. A thousand years later the swamp dried up but from it, the Thunder Heart Spirit Jade contained the Power of Heaven’s Thunder is refined. This jade here is a Thunder Heart Jade that was naturally formed in the shape of a crescent. Not only that it can swallow thunder, it can even spit electricity! As long as I have the intention, the thunder power within the jade will be immediately released! The little girl’s Thunder Heart Sand is also made of the Thunder Heart Jade. However, it is refined with magic power, it can only release the thunder spell, and it is not reusable.”

  Wen Buzuo was not so sure this time, but his expression was still indifferent, “Is that real or fake?”

  Guo Huan sneered, “I am unsure whether the Thunder Heart Swamp is real or fake. If you want to know whether the Thunder Heart Jade is real or fake, then you will know once you tried it!” Upon saying that he paused for a moment, and then he added, “Once the Power of Heaven’s Thunder is released, I cannot hold on anymore too, then the jade and stone will burn together, heh-heh…”

  Wen Buzuo immediately laughed. His expression was still of a pretentious puzzlement, “How did it get from this discussion about burning jade and stone together?”

  Wen Leyang hastily diverted the topic of discussion. Until this moment, whether the jade knife Guo Huan was intentionally or unintentionally extorting itself, this matter of jade and stone burning together, was purely brought up by Wen Buzuo for the sake of argument, “When I dug out the jade knife from Mount Emei, it was in the color of blood. After absorbing the thunder spell of Qing Niao, it was vined with thunder stripes. After absorbing Ah Dan’s Heaven’s punishment, more than half of it turned silver. Finally, after absorbing a shot of Thunder Heart Powder, it had completely turned into the color of silver.”

  Guo Huan acted shamelessly and won the argument. It was in a good mood, “That is correct, the Thunder Heart jade knife absorbed all the Heaven’s Thunder. Especially after that last shot of Thunder Heart Sand, the precious jade was filled to the brink. Only then I was awakened and reclaimed back my precious weapons!”

  Wen Leyang completely understood the situation now. He had been hanging a Thunder Heart jade knife around his neck all the while. No wonder every time there was a thunder, the thunder would surely bore towards his neck. He hastily inquired closely, “Then in the future…”

  It was as if the jade knife Guo Huan knew what he was going to say, it laughed as it answered, “Now that the jade is filled full of thunder power, naturally it will not absorb further. Unless I launch the thunder-conjuration and released all the thunders within me, heh, that way I will sleep right away and await the next recharge of thunder power before I will be awakened. Nevertheless, I fear the people around me will not sleep anymore!”

  Wen Buzuo was taunted by the jade knife. He turned around and vented on the old demon rabbit Bu Le, “The scarlet jade knife, the spirit-nourishing jade, the chaotic poison… divine monk, maybe our ‘insight’ of the spiritual eye has a little bit of astigmatism. You have never seen through precisely even once!”

  The divine monk meditated in silence for a moment. In his solemn appearance, he gasped in admiration, “The world is an uncertain place!”

  The open ground outside the village was still in a chaotic mess. The supreme leader of Jilong Sect, Zi Que was still unconscious, while the One Word Palace was watching the bustle merrily. The little demon rabbit Shan Duan led the disciples of the Great Mercy Temple on alert in a battle array to prevent a sneak attack. The little supreme leader of the Kunlun Sect was busy providing aids to the Jilong Sect’s casualties. The enlightened person San Wei of Eyang Sect had already cast and immersed himself into an evil spell. He focused his entire state of mind onto his cultivation method and did not care about other matters at all.

  The three families of Wen, Miao, and Luo were watching the enemies coldly. They kept silent and said nothing.

  The hostility between Wen Leyang, the rest of the people and the jade knife Guo Huan had disappeared. Even though the two parties were brought together by sheer coincidence, they were of help to one another. Wen Leyang was the one who dug the jade knife out from underneath the mountain, such that it could see daylight once again. He then filled it up with thunder power, so that it could reclaim back its treasured weapons. On the other hand, Guo Huan saved Wen Leyang’s life twice.

  The old demon rabbit could at least be certain that the two parties were friends and not enemies temporarily. He asked, “Your gracious said earlier that you are from the Drift…Drifting Mountain? The mountain elf Guo Huan, how did you…”

  Guo Huan did not wait for him to finish his sentence, it gave a ‘hah’, “The Southwest Drifting Mountain, Northeast Lunar Eclipse Valley and also the Overseas Stagnant Island are the three great demon lands of the world. I am the mountain elf from that Drifting Mountain!”

  The old demon rabbit frowned. He had a demon body. However, ever since he cultivated in the human form, he stopped keeping up with the demon sect. Besides, he had limited understanding of the demon sect since the beginning. He knew that there were four demon mountains on the land of the East. Those mountains were all desolated now, but he had never heard that there were three great demon lands in the world.

  The jade knife Guo Huan seemed to understand his thoughts. It laughed stiffly, “How many years has it been since you engaged in the cultivation world. These three great demon mountains had already collapsed for how many years even before you were born. Some were already leveled to the ground while some already sank into the sea. I was fortunate that I am still alive, but I understood as well, that any form of supernatural power or demon magic was nothing but bullshit as compared to the wrath of the gods. I was completely dispirited and lost all my lofty ambitions. So, I randomly looked for a mountain range with early signs of spiritual wisdom, I cultivated when I wanted to cultivate, I played when I wanted to play, I had a free and peaceful life since no one else in the world dared to provoke me.

  As it was speaking, the jade knife Guo Huan’s voice gradually became more and more heroic, “Before I met with the mishap, I was so old I could not even recall how old I was. I almost cultivated into a form of transformation!”

  The old demon rabbit Bu Le was startled, he screamed out ‘oh no’ in surprise, “You…you almost cultivated into a form of transformation?!”

  ‘Cultivated into a form of transformation’ meant, in simple word, to refine a new identity for oneself. Even though those with cultivation base less than one-third of God level, but the person’s purpose was the same as god’s level. Whether it was the battle method, the ability to venture into danger or the cultivation process would yield twice the result with half the effort, it was the highest level of achievement in the cultivation of the demon sect. Of course, it was also more dangerous for one to cultivate into this level the closer one was to its succession, the jade knife Guo Huan sealed itself in the immortal’s cave and devoted itself to focus on cultivation. He used the Yin’s Error and Yang’s Mistake to lay down a mountain sealing spell to guard the outside.

  Wen Buzuo gave an evil smile as he spoke to Wen Leyang in a low tone, “Looks that he is almost out of luck soon.”

  As expected, the jade knife Guo Huan’s voice became extremely deranged, “I spent so much effort in building the defense system but I did not expect that some cruel demon that came from nowhere seized the opportunity when I was so concentrated I could not be distracted. The demon broke the spells I laid down all the way. It charged into the entrance of the immortal’s cave but, in the end, it did not come in to kill. It only left behind a word, ‘Mountain ghost, I can see that your cultivation is not easy so I will spare your little life, but I will borrow this pair of Yin’s Error and Yang’s Mistake to play. I will return you once I am reminded of it in another one hundred and eighty years!’ As she was saying that, she stretched out her arm and swept away the mind sense I left on my treasured weapon before it marched away.”

  Once the mind sense on the treasured weapons was swept away, Guo Huan who was cultivating in body-splitting in the immortal’s cave was immediately distracted of his state of mind, a few days later he finally managed to cultivate into body-splitting. However, without the complementation of the primordial spirit, it turned into a walking dead that was incapable of anything. Guo Huan felt that its chest could burst in rage, once all its rituals were completed, he could not be bothered about the injuries as it stormed out of the immortal’s cave and risked its life to fight the enemy.

  Wen Buzuo roared with laughter listening to others’ misfortune, “By the time you came out the enemy had since run away.”

  Guo Huan nonchalently replied, “I am a mountain elf, no one can escape from my grasp as long as there is still soil and stones in the world. However, the enemy was considered rather agile, I could not catch up in time…”

  The group heaved a sigh of frustration.

  On the other hand, Guo Huan spoke in rage, “The enemy was able to break my spells and claim my treasured weapons. Of course, it was not some ordinary people. I chased that demon along the way, all the way to the Northernmost Black and White Island!” At this point, Guo Huan suddenly halted for a moment, he diverted the topic of discussion without a cause, “Hey rabbit, do you know about the Black and White Island?”

  The rabbit shook his head, while Wen Xiaoyi answered with a smile, “The Northernmost had no day or night, the little island was divided into black and white, but it was an extremely ominous land. Legend says that Xiang Liu, the Nine-headed Snake was staked to the island with nine Heaven’s cone nails on each of the nine heads. Only then, it would not make trouble anymore.”

  Wen Leyang chuckled as he patted Wen Xiaoyi’s plump and graceful forehead, “Awesome!”

  Wen Xiaoyi sniggered. Her smile was clear yet satisfied as if all these efforts of her in remembering the legend of witch hunting and the poison recipe and pharmacology was all for Wen Leyang.

  Guo Huan also praised, “The little girl is not bad at all. I did not expect that back then; this demon was actually dashing towards the direction of Liu Xiang! We fought a great battle on the Black and White Island and broke a piece of demon-nailing Heaven’s cone nail. As a result, we startled the solitary guardian of Sword Immortal!”

  The old demon rabbit Bu Le repeated in puzzlement, “The solitary guardian of Sword Immortal?” He had lived for almost two thousand years but he had never heard of these six words.

  Guo Huan scolded, “You little demon has no knowledge! How many master cultivators in the world have you heard of? You can flaunt your prowess on the loose ground earlier but, in my eyes, you are nothing but a clown…”

  This time the rest of the people started intervening. Some were joking and mocking, some were stopping and snapping. Yet, unexpectedly, Guo Huan separated his voice once again and started debating with them. The house turned into a chaotic mess in a flash. Wen Buzuo was squalling in rage, he said to Wen Leyang, “I will call upon the seven fat men!” These days he had been spending a lot of time with the seven fat men, he had already consulted them on their abilities and found that the Rainbow’s brothers could communicate with one another in their hearts, so they could quarrel easily and they needed no pause for breathing, leaving no opportunity for the ordinary beings to speak at all.

  Wen Leyang grabbed on to Wen Buzuo, he scolded in a low voice towards the jade knife, “No matter how disrespectful you are to the divine monk, we…it is true that you have the Heaven’s Thunder but it is not that difficult for us to toss you back into the mountain valley once again!”

  Wen Buzuo slapped his thigh in realization, “Toss it into the river. Even if it could release thunder power, it will never float onto the surface. People will just think that it’s an electric fish.”

  Wen Xiaoyi spoke with determined effort, “After it is done releasing all the thunder power, I will grind the jade knife into Thunder Heart Sand. Let’s see where is he going to sleep afterward, where else can it be fierce and mad!”

  Mumu smile in arrogance, “Let’s connect an earth wire to it…”

  The jade knife Guo Huan was unwilling to submit. It started acting defiant since it had nothing else to lose. It roared that the next person who touched it would be electrocuted.

  Finally, it was still the old demon rabbit Bu Le who managed to console the people. Albeit the jade knife Guo Huan was still unwilling, the next time it spoke to Bu Le, it was no longer as forceful.

  Legend said that Xiang Liu, the Nine-headed snake, was a gigantic monster from the primitive ages. It caused harm wherever it went. Anywhere it went it would plunge the people into misery and sufferings. Finally, it was punished by the wrath of gods. However, even with the nine pieces of Heaven’s cone nail, it was not killed but only staked alive onto the Black and White Island.

  When one of the nine pieces of Heaven’s cone nail was broken, naturally the true culminated cultivator was startled. The Sword Immortal that was mentioned by Guo Huan, was not on the same par at all as the Five Blessings that was creating trouble in the village entrance. His cultivation base was no less inferior than Guo Huan at its prime. This time, Guo Huan and the Sword Immortal united and worked together to kill the demon that snatched away the ‘Yin’s Error Yang’s Mistake’. Nonetheless, it still escaped and then it was another round of chase once again.

  Guo Huan spoke for a long while. It seemed to be a little tired, it rested for a while before it continued to speak, “This demon fled back to land in the East after it circled around a huge round. I chased all the way until the land in the East and found out that, it had already stirred up so much trouble such that the gods were angry and the people were resentful. There were more than just the solitary Sword Immortal and I who wanted to kill it. A few huge sects in the land of the east too hated it so much that they could not wait to sleep on its skin and eat its flesh…”

  Wen Leyang swallowed a gulp of his saliva. Him, Wen Xiaoyi and Mumu gazed at one another. These three persons’ eyes were filled with astonishment, for they had almost thought of the same person.

  Wen Leyang took a breath, “Do you remember roughly when did it happen?”

  Guo Huan’s laugh brought along a tinge of bitterness, “I can’t even remember how long was I trapped in there, but I do remember that its surname was ‘Liu’ back then!”

  Wen Leyang muttered in his heart. Oh no, it is not a mistake then!

  Two thousand years ago, the person who created so many troubles in the cultivation world such that men and horses were thrown off their feet, provoked and offended countless master cultivators and finally dragged along an unfortunate man to help her in her battle against the demons. It was not as difficult to guess who was it actually.
