As soon as these words were spoken, the room erupted in shock.
Li Hong hurriedly asked, "What on earth is going on? What did Black Abyss's parents do?"
"It turns out his name is Black Abyss, which seems to be derived from a character from each of his parents' names. His parents were renowned figures from ten thousand years ago; his father was named Heaven Abyss and his mother was named Black Princess. They were collectively known as the Heavenly Consort Twin Saints, but we in Beast Cultivation referred to them by a different name: the Twin Poison of the Celestial Consort! From this nickname, you can tell what kind of people Black Abyss's parents were! They acted against the natural order, aiding tyranny and causing the deaths of countless predecessors in our Beast Cultivation. They were the top henchmen of the Demon Sect! During the battle between immortals and demons nine thousand years ago, wherever our Beast Cultivation appeared, they would also show up without mercy. My parents died at their hands. At that time, I lacked the strength to participate in the battle, but I had seen them from afar. Looking at Black Abyss today, I know he must be the son of the Twin Poison of the Celestial Consort. Brother, how can I bear this? The only reason I didn't act on impulse was for your sake!" Du Yizi said, his eyes wide with anger, his Iron Ears trembling beneath his hat.
Li Hong pondered deeply. This was troublesome; it turned out that Black Abyss's parents had such a background. The enmity between their families was irreconcilable, no wonder Du Yizi was furious. However, one thing struck him as odd, and he couldn't help but say, "Brother, are you sure? Black Abyss said he has only lived for five thousand years, which means there is a four-thousand-year gap. Moreover, he is an orphan who has lived alone since hatching. Perhaps Black Abyss is not actually the offspring of the Twin Poison of the Celestial Consort. They are both from the Water Dragon clan; could it be that he just resembles them?"
"Brother, you may not understand much about Beast Cultivation. Just ask Shooting Jade Fairy and Jiang Xuanzi; they will tell you everything. I didn't participate in that battle nine thousand years ago due to my insufficient cultivation level, but my parents both perished at the hands of the Twin Poison of the Celestial Consort. This hatred burns in my heart constantly. I only regret my lack of strength to take revenge; that's why I've secluded myself to cultivate diligently until my Iron Ears technique reached perfection. You might wonder why I'm so familiar with Sister Sheyu and Jiang Xuanzi; it's quite simple—we all participated in that battle six thousand years ago against the immortals and demons. I can clearly tell you that we won because our Beast Cultivation allied with the Immortal Sect. Many elders from our Beast Cultivation died at the hands of the Twin Poison of the Celestial Consort; thus many joined that battle seeking revenge against them. However, something strange happened: the Twin Poison of the Celestial Consort never appeared during that battle. If they had," Du Yizi said with a bitter smile, "even with so many people on our side and even standing with the Immortal Sect, things would still not have looked good."
At this point, he became serious and said, "I have always suspected that after that battle nine thousand years ago, the Twin Poison of the Celestial Consort ascended to immortality. Now I think about it; Black Princess must have given birth to Black Abyss before ascending. Due to a lack of parental care, Black Abyss must have taken four thousand years to hatch. There’s no doubt about it; it must be so. I can even sense a faint aura of the Twin Poison of the Celestial Consort on Black Abyss. Don't forget what my true form is! There’s absolutely no way I could be mistaken."
Li Hong was left speechless; Du Yizi's assertions were likely very close to reality. His true form was a naturally born spirit beast known as Dugou, which not only had extraordinary hearing but also an exceptional sense of smell—he could remember unique scents that humans could not recall. So it turned out that Black Abyss was indeed associated with the Demon Sect!
The people present exchanged glances in confusion. Ling Xuzi felt a headache coming on. He hadn't expected that Li Hong would bring back such a figure as a Divine Dragon with such a background. What should they do now? Just moments ago he had announced that Black Abyss would become Nine Li Sect's guardian Divine Dragon and had spoken passionately about it; now it turned out that their guardian Divine Dragon was actually the son of the Twin Poison of the Celestial Consort from the Demon Sect! What a huge joke.
At that moment, Li Hong felt a stirring in his heart because he heard Heavenly Torch speaking up. He transmitted his voice: "Brother, I've actually been awake and listening all along! Tell them this little dragon is under my protection!"
Li Hong felt flustered: "Do you really think we need more trouble right now?"
"That Twin Poison of the Celestial Consort definitely hasn't ascended; I can guarantee it! Hmph! Just think about how much commotion would accompany a Divine Dragon's ascension—if even Immortal Sect and Demon Sect couldn't feel it, I certainly would! Even if I'm inside Li Fire Formation! No way—they absolutely haven't ascended! Poor things; they must have been betrayed by Demon Sect!" Heavenly Torch sighed.
Li Hong perked up: "What do you mean by that?"
"Our Divine Dragon clan absolutely wouldn't expend Dragon Power to give birth to offspring before ascending—that would be suicidal! Giving birth is extremely taxing for a mother dragon and can sometimes cost her thousands or even tens of thousands of years of cultivation. Ascending through Tribulation is such a significant event; moreover, our Divine Dragon's Tribulation is ten times more formidable than yours—who would dare waste their cultivation giving birth at such a critical moment? It’s better to wait until after ascending to give birth! And I can assure you that no Divine Dragon has ascended in ten thousand years. The facts are clear: these two foolish dragons were betrayed by Demon Sect and likely faced death or annihilation. The male dragon probably met a bad end while the female dragon escaped but was gravely injured and desperately gave birth to an offspring. After secretly laying an egg before dying, she must have cast a parental curse on Black Abyss before her death, instructing him not to go outside. How could these two dragons be so foolish? Do they think Demon Sect is easy to deal with? While they deserve their fate, it's still pitiful when you think about it," Heavenly Torch lamented.
Hearing this, Li Hong's eyes lit up as he mysteriously said to Du Yizi: "Brother, you're mistaken!"
Du Yizi frowned: "Are you still doubting me?"
Li Hong shook his head and expressed Heavenly Torch's words in his own way.
Everyone suddenly understood, and Spirit Stone exclaimed, "So the Twin Poison of the Celestial Consort was used by the Demon Sect! If they are still alive, they must hate the Demon Sect to the core. That being said, Black Abyss is not one of them."
Du Yizi said angrily, "So what if they were used? Their end may be satisfying, but what about my parents? Who will pity them? I cannot accept this. I won't take action against Black Abyss, but as long as he is here, I cannot stay. I'm sorry, Second Brother, I want to return to the mountain."
Ling Xuzi became anxious and wanted to persuade him, but Du Yizi firmly stated, "No need to persuade me further! I will keep this matter confidential for Nine Li Sect and advise everyone not to speak of it. After all, I am still Chu Hongzi's elder brother and a senior elder of Nine Li Sect. In the future, whenever Nine Li Sect needs me, I will come out immediately. However, staying in Nine Li Cave Heaven with the son of my enemy is simply impossible. Master, you need not persuade me anymore unless..." He looked at Li Hong and added, "Unless Second Brother you send Black Abyss away."
"No way! I want Black Abyss to stay. I like this kid!" Heavenly Torch immediately shouted, startling Li Hong.
Everyone turned to look at Li Hong.
Li Hong thought seriously for a moment and said to Du Yizi, "I will send Black Abyss away right now. Brother, we are already sworn brothers; I cannot disregard your feelings."
These words came from the heart, and Heavenly Torch shouted in dissatisfaction again. However, Li Hong ignored him and decisively cut off their communication through Divine Consciousness.
"Good brother!" Du Yizi was very touched but still shook his head. "Actually, I had a selfish motive earlier; I wanted to see how much weight I hold in your heart, Second Brother. Now that you've said this, I know it was worth it to have you as a brother. From now on, I will put aside my grievances with Black Abyss and will also advise my brothers not to seek revenge on him since he is innocent."
Li Hong was overjoyed, thinking that Du Yizi had come to terms with it. Unexpectedly, Du Yizi then stood up and said, "But I still have to bid farewell to you and everyone. In the future, I will often visit Nine Li Sect just like Sister Sheyu and Jiang Xuanzi. Second Brother, rest assured that matters concerning Nine Li Sect are also my matters; we Beast Cultivators will definitely not stand by idly. If I Du Yizi dare frown when needed, then I'm not Chu Hongzi's elder brother!"
With things having reached this point, Ling Xuzi realized he could not retain him but then thought that this might not be a bad thing after all.
Nine Li Sect would still have an additional guardian Divine Dragon and these Beast Cultivator Elders' strong support. The difference would be that they would move between both sides like Sister Sheyu and Jiang Xuanzi instead of being stationed permanently. This arrangement might actually be better since having a large number of Beast Cultivators stationed in Nine Li Cave Heaven was somewhat unusual; after all, these Beast Cultivators had some strange tempers. Some individuals like Yue Mangzi, Ling Jizi, and Ling Xiaozi had already been quite talkative. This way would be mutually beneficial.
At that moment, Ling Xuzi no longer insisted on retaining them but began considering gifts instead.
Li Hong sighed deeply in regret and kept holding onto Du Yizi's arm, pleading for him to reconsider.
Du Yizi was astute; seeing Ling Xuzi's expression made him realize they had agreed but still declined firmly. Ling Xuzi sighed for a while and presented a Superior Spirit Artifact that was second only to a Celestial Artifact along with several bottles of Elixir as parting gifts for Du Yizi's journey.
A line of people traveled several hundred miles to the Mountain Gate. Li Hong sighed for a long time, facing the direction Du Yizi had gone, before reluctantly returning to the mountain.
As soon as he entered the Mountain Gate, he heard a commotion in front of Nine Separation Peak, mixed with the thunderous roar of Black Abyss. Many disciples rushed from various peaks, shouting, "Hurry to see the Divine Dragon!"
A few people almost spat blood upon hearing this and quickly flew to the front mountain. Upon arrival, they saw that Li Hong and Ling Yi Zi were fine, but Ling Xuzi and Spirit Stone nearly fell from the sky.
Before them stood a massive black pillar reaching up to the heavens, roaring defiantly at the sky; it was Black Abyss. From its enormous dragon mouth spewed forth thick columns of water as wide as mountains, causing a torrential downpour everywhere.
The square in front of Nine Li Great Hall was flooded, with water rising high enough to reach the eaves of Nine Li Main Hall. Fortunately, a pale blue light emanated from the entire hall, holding back the wall of water; otherwise, even the Ancestor's statue would have been submerged. Across on Summit, the Heaven and Earth Platform was being battered by waves of torrential rainwater. Although it was clearly closed off, eight towering dragon pillars around the platform strangely emitted red light. The eight carved dragons seemed alive, swirling around their pillars amidst the flood.
Disciples were everywhere, shouting from a distance.
Near Black Abyss's enormous dragon mouth, a small figure danced in the air. That person giggled and called out proudly from afar, "Foolish dragon! You can't even touch Huanhuan's hem! What a big foolish dragon!"
Though Black Abyss could not understand, its anger intensified. It continuously shot out thick streams of water from its mouth in pursuit of Huanhuan's swiftly flying figure. The air was filled with splashing white water as if thousands of giant Water Dragons soared above Nine Separation Peak.
It was definitely Huanhuan who provoked Black Abyss! This Little Fox Demon really knows how to get into trouble! Li Hong lamented.
