Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 136 - 124 Bao Yin Bodhisattva Startles the Demoness, Tao Qian Wishes to Take Yunhua as His Master

The Queen of Daughter Country spoke three sentences, immediately causing the Red Robed Demoness to display a look as if she were on the verge of tears, her eyes still soul-capturing, yet her voice filled with resentment as she said:

"Sister Xue, how can you be so heartless? I've only stayed a few days, and now you want to drive me away?"

"To help Sister Xue ascend the throne of Daughter Country, I've been running around doing so much, and only then did I manage to sort things out with the court."

"True, the Imperial Family these days are mostly good-for-nothing and can't even keep hold of their kingdom. But they've accumulated power over hundreds of years and have profound roots. It took me a great deal of effort to persuade the Imperial Family to allow your Daughter Palace to establish a nation."

"Now that you are about to ascend the throne, you suddenly disdain my background?"

"Talking about Daughter of Devil God, talking about Prince Consort, Sister Xue, with your smooth Dao Path, resembling a Goddess, adored by all who see you—how could you possibly understand my struggles?"

Upon this outcry, all the guests at the banquet couldn't help but show a look that was a mixture of laughter and helplessness.

This demoness was clearly the one who insisted on having the Taisui Baby, yet after being thwarted, she was still claiming credit and playing the victim at the same time.

However, as the Daughter of Devil God, every single word and action of hers could tug at the hearts of others.

Had Tao Qian not been exempted from the effects of the Heavenly Demon Chaos Divine Sound Skill, he might now be speaking on her behalf.

Fortunately, her charming speech was completely ineffective against the Queen of Daughter Country.

The stunningly beautiful Queen still stood in front of Tao Qian, her lovely brows raised, her gaze stern, and she said directly to the Red Robed Demoness:

"Yin Susu, as the ninety-seventh Daughter of Devil God, who in the Cultivation World, aside from those few Great Sects, would dare to mistreat you?"

"You have done some things for my Daughter Palace, but that was a transaction, for which I have already given you compensation."

"If you wish to be a good guest, I Naturally welcome you."

"But if you want to be a troublesome guest, making things difficult for the guests I have specially invited, then I will not tolerate it."

With such a domineering response from the Queen, the guests at the banquet cast surprised glances again.

Even those who were previously enjoying themselves and conversing with each other suddenly took an interest.

The Queen of Daughter Country clashing with the Daughter of Devil God?

And the reason is a pretty-faced male cultivator?

In an instant, almost all the eyes of the guests at the banquet lit up.

In the center of the storm, Tao Qian felt somewhat relieved after hearing the authoritarian words of the Queen of Daughter Country.

Since surviving the extremely dangerous Second Calamity, Tao Qian had reflected repeatedly and came to a conclusion: he had been too rash, and sometimes it might be wise to consider avoiding disaster.

Thus, after Tao Qian set off on his journey again, he became much more cautious.

Originally dragged to this banquet by the Queen of Daughter Country against his will, Tao Qian had been somewhat nervous.

If not for the Record he sensed, along with some corroborating evidence, which proved that the Queen of Daughter Country was a kind-hearted left-wing cultivator, and her claim to be a close friend of an elder of Spirit Treasure Sect known as 'Yunhua Immortal,' Tao Qian would not have been able to relax.

Now, observing her actions and listening to her words, Tao Qian felt that the Daughter Country was unlikely to be his Third Calamity, nor was its Queen.

Tao Qian had just harbored this thought when suddenly, an extremely dangerous aura erupted without warning.

The source was none other than the Red Robed Demoness.

Accustomed to freedom, as the ninety-seventh daughter of a Devil God, wherever she went, she was treated as an esteemed guest of honor.

Even those Righteous Sects that found her disagreeable mostly refrained from speaking to her in the austere tone the Queen of Daughter Country just had.

She had thought that by appearing pitiful, she could easily take that "Taisui Baby" for her own.

How could she have anticipated such humiliation?

At this moment, the Red Robed Demoness was leisurely standing up, squinting her eyes and locking gazes with the Queen.

Behind her, it was as if a baleful otherworldly realm was slowly opening up, containing endless darkness within. In the murky depths, an immensely large figure, devilish aura billowing to the sky as if it could devour everything, seemed ready to open its eyes.

With her advancing step by step, an extremely rich and pure devilish aura directly solidified into substance, consisting of various colors and flowing stickily like sand, like water. Anyone who saw it would feel their soul bewildered, afterwards hearing the endless roars and howls of demons, mutating and falling into depravity amidst the atmosphere.

Fortunately, no weaklings were present at this banquet; all could resist this Devil God's aura.

Yet, some strange objects, even inanimate ones, were touched by that aura and directly underwent a transformation into demons.

For instance, a copper candlestick contaminated by it suddenly morphed into an Alien Species with a head ablaze, mouth full of tusks, howling as it sought to set fire to burn everyone present.

A spirit fruit resembling a pear underwent the touch and instantly swelled to the size of a millstone, sprouting numerous eerie black voids from which hundreds and thousands of poisonous snakes crawled out.

There was also a steamed fish that, upon making contact, returned to life and transformed into a Fishman with rotting body and sprouting black hair, which threw up a waterfall-like torrent of poison.

The formerly peaceful banquet seemed on the verge of descending into chaos.

Several guests were about to intervene, but at the next moment, a spring as if never drying up and able to irrigate billions of acres of fertile land, appeared suddenly behind the Queen of Daughter Country. The sound of the spring water's pleasant tinkling accompanied by the refreshing fragrance abruptly spread throughout the area, expelling and suppressing all mutated forms.

While these scenes unfolded, the guests could no longer conceal the shock on their faces, having originally thought that the exchange between the two powerful female cultivators was merely a minor verbal clash that had been defused.

Yet now, was a bloody skirmish about to unfold over that young Daoist who came from who knows where?

For a moment, Tao Qian felt all eyes turning towards him once again.

The sudden turn of events also made Tao Qian tense up, and he muttered to himself in distress:

"Alas, what does this have to do with me?"

"Weren't they saying my luck reaches the heavens? This scene doesn't look like it at all."

"I, a minor Qi Refining Realm cultivator, was merely passing by on my journey, how could I possibly have to face such a scenario?"

"And stay calm, stay calm, based on the experience of the previous two calamities, there's always a sign before calamity strikes."

"Up until now, no warning bell has sounded, there should be a chance for change, it shouldn't be the third calamity."

While such thoughts flickered through Tao Qian's mind, 999 strands of Immortal Spiritual Qi were eager to move within him, and he had long prepared the Demon Gourd filled with demons, the Xuan Yin Invisible Sword Array, and various Thunder Fire Pills.

Should a real fight break out, if the Queen of Daughter Country couldn't handle the demoness and she broke through to attack him and the Little Age.

Tao Qian didn't bother with pleasantries, employing every tactic at his disposal. Even if he couldn't injure his opponent at all, creating a diversion to make his escape was preferable to surrendering without a fight.

However, it was at that moment.

Suddenly, a Buddhist chant filled the banquet, immediately dispelling the intense atmosphere of conflict.

"Amitabha!"

Tao Qian had heard the Buddhist chant of the Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva before, and he'd also heard the chant from Bai Qin of the Great Freedom Temple.

Both were terrifying in their power.

But in terms of purity, neither could compare to this single chant.

The many strange phenomena that had filled the room dissipated like bubbles at the sound of this chant.

The hostility and killing intent that had been gradually spreading became nothingness.

Everyone involuntarily looked towards the plain-faced nun in their midst, who smiled at the Red Robed Demoness, saying,

"Princess Yin, today is the establishment of Daughter Country, and it's really not proper to resort to violence. As for this young cultivator from Spirit Treasure Sect, his immortal spirit is innate, his divine aura exceptional. Even in my Dharma Eye, I can see a not-so-shallow connection to Buddhism."

"May I ask if Your Highness could give me some face and cease this confrontation?"

"Additionally, should you visit Southern Yue, you might also wish to advise your husband to refrain from needlessly taking lives and to avoid colluding with the abandoned disciples of Guanyin Temple, bringing harm to the innocent."

It was strange to witness the Red Robed Demoness, who had been baring her fangs and claws, acting as if she feared neither heaven nor earth,

Suddenly displaying an unmistakeable hint of hesitation after the nun spoke.

Her eyes still flashed with ferocity, yet she dared not vent her frustration on the nun.

Eventually, as if having realized something, her gaze swiftly shifted back and forth between the Queen of Daughter Country and the majestic-looking nun.

She stamped her foot, as if she had experienced a sudden revelation,

"So that's it, I see it now."

"Sister Xue, you must be afraid that I covet your treasures, thus you invited Bao Yin Bodhisattva here, hoping to deter me. But you thought wrong this time. While your Daughter Spring is indeed precious, it only works once for my father. Having traded with you already and taken a river's worth of Daughter Spring Water for my father, stealing more of your spring holds no value for me."

"I've lingered for several days because I seldom have good friends; I only pestered you because I wanted to become intimate friends."

"But since Sister Xue has made her intentions so clear, I, Yin Susu, am not so shameless as to overstay my welcome. I shall take my leave then."

"Hmph!"

After dropping these words, the Red Robed Demoness paid no heed to how the Queen of Daughter Country or anyone else in the room took them.

After a cold snort, the ninety-seventh daughter of the Devil God, whose body was alluring beyond measure, leapt into the air, transforming into a red cloud that soared into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, she was beyond the borders of Daughter Country.

People were completely unprepared for this turn of events.

But having listened to Yin Susu's words, it wasn't hard to understand.

"It's possible for the Daughter Palace to establish a country because the Devil God Princess had exerted effort, but it was a transaction; the compensation was a river's worth of Daughter Spring Water."

"However, the Queen of Daughter Country suspected that Yin Susu lingered around with the intent of eyeing their divine terrestrial treasure, planning to steal the entire Daughter Spring Water."

"Therefore, taking advantage of the country's founding celebration, the Queen invited Bao Yin Bodhisattva from Guanyin Temple, hoping to leverage the temple's power to persuade Yin Susu to leave."

"And indeed, she succeeded."

Thoughts flashed through Tao Qian's mind; in an instant, he understood what had just happened.

Then, he couldn't help but secretly complain: "So, the unintended victim was still me; even without Little Age, these two powerful female cultivators were bound to clash."

With Yin Susu gone; the ambiance of the banquet immediately improved.

The mood of the Queen of Daughter Country brightened considerably; she unabashedly pulled Tao Qian to sit down and then proceeded to introduce him to the various distinguished guests around the table.

Their Cultivation Realms alone indicated that each one had an impressive background.

Each represented a significant force within Fumin Province.

The one who scared off the Daughter of Devil God with just a few words, "Bao Yin Bodhisattva," naturally came from Guanyin Temple within Fumin Province, from the same Sect as Beautiful Corpse Bodhisattva. In fact, Beautiful Corpse even owed her the honorific title of senior sister.

The elder dressed in wide-sleeved robes and wearing a Ge Cloth on his head came from the millennium-old Zhang Family, one of the Zhang Family's Elders stationed in Fumin Province.

The being that was nothing more than a skeleton was an Elder from the local Sect of Fumin, the White Bone Cave, which had some ties to the Buddhist Sect, making it a curious mix of Heterodox and Righteous paths, with extraordinary strength and deep roots.

Aside from these three, the origins of the other guests were similarly remarkable.

The weakest among them was associated with a power much stronger than the Joyful Pavilion.

"The presence of these powerful individuals means that Daughter Country has effectively attained a certain status, earning recognition from many forces in Fumin, including Guanyin Temple."

"No wonder they dared to fall out with Yin Susu and send her away."

"It also proves that the Queen of Daughter Country truly did intercept me on a whim, apparently seeing my stroke of extraordinary luck and wanting to use me as an auspicious symbol."

As Tao Qian grasped the situation, there was no longer any rush to depart.

Joining a Sect was of utmost importance, but if there were shortcuts to be taken, Tao Qian wasn't opposed.

He had just served as a lucky charm, so taking some rewards was justified.

Tao Qian wouldn't admit that this thought crossed his mind just because, after he toasted the newly-crowned Queen, she leaned in whisper,

"Lending me your auspicious words, this Queen won't be stingy."

"When you leave, in addition to many rich gifts, I will write a letter to my Sister Yunhua and also give you a personal token of mine."

"With these, you can be assured of entry into Sister Yunhua's tutelage."

"Do you understand that as one of the top Great Sects in the Cultivation World, the Spirit Treasure Sect is home to a myriad of strong cultivators?"

"Even so, Sister Yunhua is one of the noticeable female fairies in the Spirit Treasure Sect, and she's very likely to advance to the 'Tribulation Immortal' Realm in the future."
