Chapter 384: Live Show?
“You’re the Spiritual Maiden of the Tu Mountain. How can the future of our race be humiliated like this!”
“Lord Six-tailed! Please let me go in your place!”
Below the throne, other than the red wedding dress that was sent to Tu Shan,
In the stone hall, there were hundreds of fox demons kneeling below.
Most of them had yet to transform.
Only the two kneeling at the front could barely form a human shape.
However, they were not as tall as Lord Six-tailed. Some parts of their bodies still retained the characteristics of a fox.
Of course, even so, their appearance was overwhelming in the fox demon group that was good at charming people.
Moreover, compared to their alluring beauty, their auras were quite extraordinary. There was not much demonic qi on their bodies, and they looked more like fairies who had fallen from the clouds.
Moreover, behind the fox demon in the hall, there were two or more tails that grew. They hung behind it and swayed about, making people’s hearts beat faster.
This was because they were indeed not ordinary fox demons, but the ancient Nine-Tailed Race of Tu Mountain.
In essence, these two were actually not the same species. They only looked similar.
The race that should have been extremely noble had once followed Emperor Xuanyuan into the Primordial World and made extraordinary contributions.
However, their glory rose with the Human Emperor and declined along with his fall.
After the Shang Dynasty, the bloodline of the Human Emperor was severed. Tu Mountain’s fate was severed by Jiang Ziya. From then on, this demon faction that could match the Dragon Palace could not help but decline.
There were no more traces left in history.
However, everything was predestined.
After the Cultivationless Age, there were no longer any Immortals or Gods. Now, there were only two descendants of the Nine-Tailed Race left.
Compared to the descendants of the last Human Emperor in the Empress Tomb, the group that stayed behind to guard Tu Mountain and gradually became the last group had been going downhill since ancient times. When the Cultivationless Age descended, most of their clansmen had already turned into the lowest-level demon beasts.
Low cultivation meant that the need for spiritual qi was decreasing. This also allowed a portion of the Nine Tails’ clansmen to survive the calamity.
Then, in the tens of thousands of years of the Cultivationless Age, they were all reduced to ordinary beast-like existences. They reproduced like the most ordinary mountain beasts, and only then did the thin bloodline last until now.
As spiritual beasts, their intelligence was even harder to awaken than ordinary demon beasts. During the period when spiritual qi was first awakened, they, who had the Nine-tailed Bloodline, had never been able to awaken.
This caused Tu Mountain to miss the first period of development. It was not until hundreds of years ago that the first Tu Mountain Fox Demon gave birth to a second tail and found the opportunity to cultivate on this lost Tu Mountain.
However, one step slower meant one step slower. Up until now, no demon king had been born.
There were not many people and there were no experts to protect them. In the end, due to some reason, the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox of Tu Mountain was targeted by the Five Banishment City’s rulers.
“There’s no need to say anything else. I’ve already made up my mind on this matter. From now on, Tu Mountain will hide from the world until a Seven-tailed Fox appears. Only then can we protect our race!”
…
Three days later, in Five Banishment City.
Clang! A gong sounded. A few small demons walked through the streets, shouting as they walked.
“The Five Banishment Daoists are getting married to the Fox Maiden of Tu Mountain, Lady Wu Ya.”
“The Five Banishment Daoists are celebrating! Congratulations, Five Banishment Daoists!”
In the streets and alleys of the entire city, there were hundreds of such small demon teams striking the gong and spreading the news of the marriage to every corner.
All the humans who heard the voice had to stop everything and kneel on both sides of the road to pray to the Five Banishment Daoists.
All the demons in the city had to stand on both sides of the road to watch the ceremony. Under the pressure of authority, they pretended to be harmonious on the surface.
“What a grand scene. However, demons are still demons after all!”
An unknown cultivator standing at the entrance of the Prosperous Jiang Hong Inn, who was pretending to be a large and two small bear demons, could only be forced to witness the ceremony in order to prevent arousing the suspicion and attention of others.
The young cultivator muttered in dissatisfaction until his grandfather glared at him. Only then did he shut his mouth.
“Look, the bride is here.”
Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
A strange fragrance came from the end of the road.
In Five Banishment City that was filled with the stench of various beasts, this fragrance was especially prominent.
Petals were thrown into the air and scattered down. The two flower girls led the way in front, and behind them was a huge red sedan carrying 16 flowers. They followed the path like stars surrounding the moon.
It looked a little similar to human weddings.
The sedan was hung with red gauze curtains on all four sides, but a faint outline could be seen. It could be seen that the woman inside was definitely drop dead gorgeous.
Jiang Li who was in the crowd naturally paid attention to this side.
He could not see the person in the sedan clearly and could only observe the other demons carrying the sedan!
Many of them were part of her family’s dowry.
The first two scattered flowers and the four attendants behind them. Looking at the tails that could not be refined on their backs, it was obvious that they were all fox demons.
However, what surprised him was that they only had one tail behind them.
Could it be that it just happened to have the same name, or was it a group of ordinary fox demons that occupied Tu Mountain?
“Master, I smell blood.”
Right when Jiang Li was pondering, the bald wolf demon standing by his side suddenly twitched its nose, and then it spoke to Jiang Li with slight uncertainty.
“Blood?”
Could it be that the fox demons had menses?
Jiang Li did not comment. He followed the baldy and the other wolf demons to the venue.
They were here on behalf of the Black Bamboo Mountain to send their congratulations. There were also a few cultivators whose strength was equivalent to a human Nascent Soul cultivator. Apart from those demons who ruled over the mountain, they were also the ones with some reputation.
It was not to the extent that they could not even enter the banquet.
After he sat down, Jiang Li finally saw the five masters of this city, the Five Banishment Daoists.
They were not as strange as he had imagined.
The transformed bodies of these five demons could be considered handsome.
Ox, sheep, pig, dog, and donkey were not spiritual beasts with powerful bloodlines. Such demons naturally had the advantage of ease when they transformed.
However, what was strange was that the appearance of these five guys’ transformed bodies was surprisingly very similar.
Even their races were different, let alone their blood relationship.
Apart from being based on racial characteristics, the Body Transformation also had a lot to do with the minds of demons.
These five guys looked so similar. There might be something else amiss.
“Baldy, shouldn’t they be undergoing the wedding rituals? Why are they eating and drinking with the guests as soon as they come out?”
Jiang Li tasted the unique roasted demon beast of the Ten Directions Region and asked the bald wolf demon beside him.
“Master, there’s no such thing as etiquette among demons.”
Demons were not like humans. They did not worship the heavens or the earth, nor did they have an ancestral hall. Only the moon hanging in the sky at all times emitted a power that could help demon beasts cultivate.
In terms of worship, they only had some admiration for the moon.
Therefore, the ceremony of the demon’s wedding could only be held when the full moon rose to the sky. They would bow three times to the full moon.
It was not time yet, so they naturally invited the guests.
The bride with the red veil was arranged to sit on a red chair and not move at all. The Five Banishment Daoists started to leave the stage and continuously toast the demons who came to the wedding banquet.
However, between the cups, their eyes frequently looked at the red chair, and their eyes were filled with greed.
After drinking a few hundred kilograms of wine, the moon gradually rose. Under the stimulation of the spiritual wine, the smiles of these five demons who called themselves the Five Banishment became more and more fearless.
“Lord Five Banishment, the time has come. You can bow now.”
An old goat demon who was staring at the moon rail ran over hurriedly and reported to them.
The five demons looked at each other and smiled sinisterly. Just like bandits and bullies snatching their wives, they walked to the middle and surrounded their bride.
“Wife, we five brothers greet you.”
“Here is a precious pearl. From now on, you’re the wife of the five of us!”
They first took out a pearl and shook it in front of the sedan. The fox demon under the cover seemed to be moving deliberately as it raised its head slightly to look at the pearl.
Then, in the next moment, a rough hand directly pulled off the cover, revealing her beauty that made people’s hearts stop.
Just this face alone was enough for the wretched Five Banishment Daoists to attack Tu Mountain without any other motive.
If it was Jiang Li, he would probably have some thoughts about kidnapping this fox demon into the coffin first.
The fox demon bride was expressionless, but the Five Banishment Daoists’ saliva had already flowed down.
Perhaps it was because of the spiritual wine or perhaps it was their nature, but the five of them had never thought of treating the Tu Mountain Bride kindly. After removing the cover, an even more bold idea was revealed.
“All your guests have come from afar. It’s too boring to just worship the moon. Why don’t we let the guests see something interesting?”
“Brothers, what do you think?”
The ox demon among the Five Banishment Daoists was the first to speak. The other four also laughed understandingly. They actually began to remove their clothes and approached the red-robed fox demon in the middle.
From the looks of it, they planned to change the moon worship ceremony of the demon wedding to a live show.
Not only did they want one female to serve five husbands, but they also wanted to show everyone the process in public. Such taste was really shocking.
Jiang Li could not help but wonder what deep hatred these five fellows had with that fox demon? They actually had to do such a thing.
Jiang Li who was sitting in the outer area had an expression of an ignorant country bumpkin. He stared fixedly at the center to see how the situation would develop.
Could that bride really endure this?
The Five Banishment Daoists pounced at the bride in the middle while drooling.
“You’re going too far!”
As the clear female voice fell, two sharp claw shadows suddenly appeared from under the dignified red dress and instantly grabbed at the crotch of the five demons.
Crotch Claw!
Five figures were sent flying and collided along the way. Countless tables and chairs made the originally bustling wedding venue suddenly become chaotic.
However, that sharp claw strike did not succeed.
“Hahaha! What a spicy little fox demon. I like it, I like it, I like it!”
In the pile of rotten wood, the Five Banishment Daoists stood up one after another and patted their bodies as if they were not injured at all.
“Dear wife, you can’t scratch this place recklessly.”
“Hehe, little fox demoness, you can’t escape. Today, the five of us will definitely show you some love!”
The originally human skin was burst open, and a white-skinned pig that was more than a hundred feet tall appeared at the banquet.
Then, the green-black water buffalo, the long-bearded old goat, the yellow dog, and the huge donkey appeared in their true forms. They rushed towards the fox demon in the middle of the other party in an even more crazy and violent manner.
A huge battle was about to break out. Six demons equivalent to the Soul Formation realm of humans collided with each other. Their power was enough to change the terrain and flatten the mountains!
This originally bustling banquet hall was instantly destroyed. When Jiang Li and the others who were participating saw that the situation was bad, they had already retreated far away.
However, they were not too far away. They stopped in the air and watched the scene in the middle.
“They’re fighting, they’re really fighting. That Tu Mountain woman is really bold. Who do you think will win?”
“Who will win? Is there a need to say this? The Five Banishment Daoists have five bodies. When they join forces, they can even compare to demon kings. How can they lose to a mere fox demon?”
“Hehe, everyone, don’t be in a hurry to leave. Perhaps we can watch two more big scenes tonight?”
“That woman is really beautiful. It’s good that we can’t eat her. The Five Banishment Daoists are really generous demons.”
The surrounding demons were not surprised by this sudden battle. There were fights every day in the Ten Directions Region and dead demons every day. Such a scene was not rare at all.
Instead, they teased and cheered loudly. However, no one spoke up for the fox demon. They were basically all villains.
Jiang Li himself was also quietly observing.
The fox demon was not bad, but it was only not bad.
If she only fought one of the Five Banishment Daoists, she might have a chance of winning.
However, against five of them, she was at an absolute disadvantage. The other party clearly had the ability to complement each other and greatly increase their combat strength. As soon as they fought, she was suppressed to an absolute disadvantage.
If not for these five guys holding back due to fear of damaging the fox demon’s body, she would have been heavily injured.
In the battle of understanding, Jiang Li had always been observing carefully, but there was indeed only one tail on her back.
This caused Jiang Li to be slightly disappointed. It seemed that she was not an orthodox fox descendant of the Tu Mountain he knew. Then, her life and death were meaningless to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li was just about to turn around and leave when he recalled what the baldy had said to him earlier.
The fox demon indeed had a bloody aura on its body. Moreover, looking at the way she fought, Jiang Li had a feeling that this fox demon had already suffered considerable injuries.
Could there be something else going on with this fox demon?
He quietly raised his hand and grabbed a few wisps of energy that seeped into the air.
Under the status of medium-grade Merit Blessing, Jiang Li could casually do this.
He removed the five forces that belonged to the Five Banishment Daoists and left behind the fox demon’s energy alone.
After throwing the energy into the coffin, the nest of two or three-tailed fox demons living in the coffin immediately approached. After smelling the energy aura, they began to nod crazily..
