Chapter 68: Bai Xiaoyi's Identity

  Huiyu and Su Dong brought the people from Dinghai Martial Arts Hall back to the forest, where Su Dong directly cut a slit on his face with her knife. The man immediately woke up, screaming in agony like a slaughtered pig, but was then gagged by Su Dong, turning blue from suffocation.

  "Now I'm telling you, if there's any unusual movement, I'll kill you!" Su Dong said with a gloomy face.

  The man nodded hastily, his eyes full of terror.

  "Let go of his mouth," Su Dong asked in a low voice, "Who are you? The bones that were thrown into the sea, were they human bones? How did those people die?"

  "My name is Zhang Dainiu, I'm an apprentice of Dinghai Wuguan. Those bones were given to me by my master to feed the octopuses by the sea, but unfortunately, the octopuses don't eat those bones." Zhang Dainiu said flusteredly.

  "Suddenly Su Dong said: 'Nonsense, octopuses live in the deep sea, they are not dogs, how can they like to eat bones? If you don't tell the truth I'll kill you!'"

  Zhang Daniu panicked and hastily explained: "Ordinary octopuses are indeed not edible, but this is the kind raised by the master of the mansion! Each tentacle is 50 meters long! It's terrifying. It loves to eat human bones, and it has to be charred. Every few days, my master will have me go to the seaside to feed it."

  Huiyu nodded and said, "It's possible that it's some kind of mutated sea creature. The Dingwen Empire is by the sea, and many people have the habit of raising sea creatures, so this isn't a big deal. Hurry up and tell me, how did these people die? Was it because of some large-mouthed creature parasitizing on their backs?"

  Zhang Daniu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Yes, it's just that he was parasitized by a strange creature on his back and died. Many such things have happened in the martial arts hall, but those who were parasitized were all low-level disciples, and most people are fine."

  Huī Yǔ's curiosity got the better of him, "I remember now, in Dà Yè, it was also ordinary civilians who were being parasitized. I've never seen any warriors injured by these things. Do these creatures from the darkness have a habit of bullying the weak and fearing the strong?"

  Su Dong shook his head, the experience of his past life was not good to use in this different world, those dark creatures Su Dong had never seen before, he could only judge their category based on their aura.

  "It's probably because the warriors have spiritual energy in their bodies, and those things are afraid of spiritual energy, so they can't parasitize, but I'm not very clear about it either."

  The topic suddenly changed, Su Dong asked: "I'll ask you again, is there a small white fox on the mountain, from the White Spirit tribe, which was just sent to the mountain by a group of explorers yesterday?"

  Zhang Daniu hastily nodded, exclaiming in surprise: "That's right! Yesterday at this time, a group of explorers brought over a small fox, and it was quite handsome! However, she wasn't from the White Spirit tribe you mentioned."

  Su Dong furrowed his brow and asked: "Isn't it the White Spirit clan? Are you certain?"

  Su Dong had known Bai Xiaoya for some time, and when Zhang Daniu said that Bai Xiaoya was not a fox from the White Spirit clan, Su Dong's face immediately showed some murderous intent, thinking that Zhang Daniu was very dishonest, preparing to kill him.

  Su Dong's usual elegant demeanor was nowhere to be seen when he revealed his killing intent, and his appearance became terrifying. Zhang Daniu was so scared that his face turned white, and he hastily said: "I absolutely dare not lie! I heard it from Du Yanshan, the elder of the Wu Guan! He said that this time the Wu Guan has prospered, thinking it was the little fox of Bai Tou Shan, but in fact they got the Holy Spirit Girl."

  Daughter of the Holy Spirit?

  Su Dong couldn't associate Bai Xiaoya with any sacred spirit no matter what, in his eyes, Bai Xiaoya was just a little fox, silly and timid, always nervous and afraid of being caught.

  At this time, Huiyu suddenly made a very strange sound. Su Dong looked over and saw that the old man's face had distorted, his whole body trembling with excitement.

  Whoosh!

  Huiyu grasped Zhang Daniu with one hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Say it again! Is Bai Xiaoya the daughter of the Holy Spirit?"

  Chang grew up and nodded: "In the past, we also caught the white-headed mountain spirit fox, they have white fur, while Bai Xiaoya is a rare silver fox!"

  Bang!

  Zhang Daniu was pushed to the ground by Huiyu, and saw Huiyu start to worship towards the sky, muttering some words that Su Dong couldn't understand.

  "What's going on?" Su Dong asked curiously.

  "Zhi Hui Nu Shen Zi Ya is also known as the Daughter of the Holy Spirit, while Power God Tuo De is called the Son of the Holy Spirit. Yin Hu, Jin Yuan are indeed the two gods of our spiritual beast clan!" Grey Feather exclaimed.

  Su Dong was taken aback, he really didn't expect that Bai Xiao Ya was actually the wise goddess Zi Ya! That is to say, now in Dinghai Martial Hall, they have tied up the wise goddess of the Ling Beast clan!

  Hui Yu was excited and then asked Bai Xiao Ya in detail, Su Dong had seen Bai Xiao Ya's true body, so he described her appearance after transformation.

  Hui Yu Old Man almost went crazy after hearing this, and shouted loudly: "Absolutely no mistake! Bai Xiao Ya is our Wisdom Goddess! Her body is very small, even as an adult, it's only the size of a palm, with silver hair like bright moonlight. These are all written in the family tree of our Eight Great Beast Kings!"

  Su Dong let out a sigh, and indeed, Bai Xiao Ya was very different from Bai Qing. Bai Qing's brain was obviously not as smart as Bai Xiao Ya's, and her hair was also different. Moreover, Bai Xiao Ya could even read the most ancient texts of the Ling Beast clan, and it was Bai Xiao Ya who had helped Su Dong translate the Bi Luo Huang Quan Jiuzhong Tian.

  "Since Bai Xiaoya is actually the goddess of wisdom, Ziya, why doesn't she have any memories of her past life? I always feel like she's just an ordinary little girl." Su Dong asked curiously.

  Grey Wing said: "The Goddess of Wisdom and the God of Strength are both reborn, just like how you humans only start your life star at 16 years old. Lady Violet is still too young now, she needs to wait until after her first menstruation to slowly regain her memories. By the time Lady Violet turns 18, she will fully merge with her past life. This process takes time!"

  Su Dong nodded slightly. Usually, girls enter puberty at the age of 12 or 13. In other words, Bai Xiaoya hasn't regained her memories as the Wisdom Goddess yet because she's still too young.

  Huī Yǔ stood up, shaking off the ugly gray cloak, and proudly said: "As one of the eight great beast kings, protecting the goddess of wisdom is my unshirkable responsibility! Now I'm going to head up the mountain! And have a showdown with Hǎi Chào Rock!"

  Su Dong was taken aback, and then furrowed his brow, saying in a deep voice: "Things are very troublesome. Since Haichao Rock already knows Xiaoya's identity, he must have set up layers of defense within the Martial Arts Hall. Zhang Daniu, you'd better confess honestly - what is the current situation on the mountain?"

  "Except for the host, the three elders have also returned, and the host has invited General Lu Xiushui of the Coastal Defense Army, Lord Bao Junwei of Dafeng City and others to discuss how to deal with that little fox. They are now holding a meeting in the martial arts hall."

  Su Dong curled his lip and said, "As I expected, Hai Cang Yan is indeed happy, but he also knows that Xiao Ya is a hot potato, so he found some powerful people nearby to discuss together. What level are these people?"

  Zhang Daniu said: "Our pavilion master is a high-ranking strongman of the Spiritual Venerable, and the three great elders, General Lü Xiushui, and Baoshan, the master of the Great Mist City, are all at the initial stage of the Spiritual Venerable."

  Su Dong listened and shook his head, sighing: "Alright, it's said that finding a strong mainland Spirit Venerable is difficult, but now I've encountered six of them. What level are you? Can you defeat the six Spirit Venerables and their countless disciples?"

  Huiyu awkwardly said: "My level is equivalent to your human Spirit Lord High Rank, I can handle Haiteng Rock myself, but six of them, I'm not a match."

  Things are getting tricky.

  Su Dong habitually rubbed his temples, his mind racing with thoughts, and said: "Since the six strong men are discussing matters at Dinghai Martial Arts Hall tonight, that means Xiaoya is still safe before dawn tomorrow. There are only two of us now, and taking action would be suicidal. Before dawn tomorrow, how many reinforcements can we find?"

  Huiyu was taken aback, and said in a low voice: "Lu Wang Huaiying should be nearby, but this guy is naturally suspicious, I need to go invite him personally. Moreover, who else can be found is completely unpredictable, after all, this continent is too big! Our Ling Shou tribe is nomadic, how can we gather together for a long time?"

  Su Dong stood up, gazing at the seaside mountain, and said faintly: "Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Send out all your subordinates. You are the Lingying tribe, with extremely strong flying speed and vision. Gather all the people you can!"
