Yinshan Record

Chapter 290 The Innocent bystanders and the Underwater Demon
Is the food bland?

Need some nourishment?

The old turtle looked at the pale-faced scholar above.

No way! I specifically consulted a divination before leaving home today, and I was certain that I would be free from any misfortune before I went out.

Having cultivated in the Canglang River for nearly a thousand years, it naturally felt it was no match for the scholar. After taking a blow to the back, it knew it was no match for him, so it abandoned the idea of ​​fighting and wanted to go forward and discuss the matter.

Monsters are supposed to be reasonable, but the Third Young Master Su on the bow of the boat is unreasonable, leaving the old turtle at a loss for what to do.

Cizhou was originally a place blessed with natural beauty and natural wonders, and countless demons were also raised beneath the vast Canglang River.

These water monsters usually keep to themselves and rarely concern themselves with matters on land.

The Copper-Headed Turtle is considered one of the most formidable monsters in the Canglang River. Even the most powerful demons would address it respectfully as "Elder."

In addition, he has a natural ability to divine the future, so even various demon kings occasionally seek his help.

Therefore, this old turtle could be described as not domineering and tyrannical in the Canglang River, but it could also be described as carefree and unrestrained.

It now knows that it has run into a brick wall.

Originally, these were a few familiar water monsters gathered together to discuss the situation, which had now descended into complete chaos.

Lady Xue received an imperial decree to become the Goddess of the Canglang River.

Qingjiao, who was originally a local resident, couldn't stand it and wanted to fight for it.

One has the human court behind him, and the other is a legitimate dragon-born water lord. Both have their reasons for becoming the Canglang Water God.

Regardless of whose reasoning it is, one thing remains the same.

If they are not of the same ilk, they are enemies.

Nowadays, all sorts of demons, big and small, have formed factions and gangs in the Canglang River, fighting each other fiercely. New and old grudges have been stirred up, and all sorts of demons are seeking revenge for their grievances.

The city gate caught fire and affected the pond fish.

Seeing that no one could remain uninvolved, the group of old friends sat down together to discuss whether to follow Madam Xue or Lord Qingjiao.

Despite much discussion and deliberation, no solution has been reached yet, but the banquets continue unabated.

The demons sat down to discuss whether to support Lady Xue or Lord Qingjiao. Although they couldn't reach a conclusion, the old neighbors confided in each other and realized that they had suffered a lot from the Great River Alliance in recent years.

So we decided on one thing first.

Let's deal with that damned Great River Alliance first.

Although the Great River Alliance is a newly emerging independent cultivator force, it still lacks a solid foundation. Under the repeated attacks of several old demons, even the most powerful elder in the sect, Elder Qin, suffered a crushing defeat.

That's why the scene just now happened.

Overjoyed by its great victory, the old turtle shook its head and stirred up a demonic wind, intending to rampage across the river.

That's when they encountered the Chang family's fleet and ran into Su San Gongzi.

And so, naturally, they ran into a brick wall.

With the eight hundred military souls connected by their magical power, Su Che gradually comprehended the principles of Houtu's virtue, and his magical power became increasingly vigorous. Within the small space of the bottle, these eight hundred military souls manifested the mysteries of the Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual. Only the clear sound of bronze chimes could be heard from inside the bottle, and the mournful cries of ghosts echoed between heaven and earth.

A ray of clear light was brewing within the porcelain vase, as if a dazzling radiance was about to leap up.

This is precisely the resonance caused by the operation of magical power conforming to the laws of heaven and earth.

The surface of the azure waves suddenly became serene and cold, as if a chilling spring from the deepest hell had appeared on earth.

The old tortoise, being somewhat knowledgeable and not a foolish monster, knew that it possessed some powerful supernatural abilities and hurriedly cried out, "You can't eat this! You can't eat this! Young master, I am old and frail, my teeth are worn out, and I haven't been diligent in my cultivation. This mouth of mine doesn't discriminate against foul smells; it loves to dig for food in the mud, and it's already reeking of blood and rotten flesh. You really can't eat this!"

The old turtle surfaced on the water, revealing its scaly head, and opened its mouth to speak in human language.

He spoke haltingly, as if he were afraid.

"If you would be so kind as to grace me with your presence, I would be happy to host you to my humble abode. I am not boasting, but my underwater palace is filled with fine wine and delicacies, and the graceful fish maidens there are as charming as any woman in the human world."

"You do have a heart."

Su Che nodded. The eight hundred military spirits continued to operate, and immense magical power pressed down from above. The old turtle couldn't muster any thought of resistance, and could only wonder where this person had come from.

In fact, Su Che gradually became clear about what these eight hundred soldiers were practicing. The supernatural powers and magic of the "Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual" were all so-called "knowledge beyond one's control".

There's no need to wait for a famous teacher to impart knowledge; as long as your magical power reaches a certain level and you gain the necessary understanding, you will naturally acquire the corresponding supernatural abilities.

The radiant light formed from the souls of these eight hundred soldiers is a magical talisman, and also the fundamental divine power within the "Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret talisman".

The core of the entire Zhou Jue Yin Tian Secret Manual is to deduce the secret manual layer by layer, and finally evolve into this Yin Shan Dong Ming Treasure Manual. Once this manual is completed, it can evolve into a magnificent palace, "Zhou Jue Yin Tian Palace", and one can transform into Yin Shan and rule over the underworld.

If we were to let this radiance flow freely now, according to the calculations of the magic talisman, not only would the essence of the old turtle's flesh and blood be absorbed by the talisman, but all living beings within a radius of thirty to fifty miles would also be swallowed up by the talisman.

In terms of grandeur and scale, this method is truly unparalleled.

Su Che naturally couldn't let this Yinshan Cave Netherworld Treasure Talisman continue to evolve, otherwise it would alert those mysterious forces that intended to kidnap the Prince of Wuling, and why would he need to conceal his whereabouts like this?
With a single thought, the power of the eight hundred military souls was greatly reduced, and the old turtle was secretly delighted.

It is a cautious and timid person. Since it cannot figure out the person in front of it, it definitely does not have the courage to confront him head-on.

There are several powerful demons in the water palace. Once we've tricked this brat, we'll surround him and see what other tricks he has up his sleeve.

"Second son."

Su Che turned his head and greeted the pale-faced second young master of the Chang family.

“Since they have extended such a warm invitation, I will go and make the trip. I would appreciate it if you could inform my uncle that I will be right back.”

"Please do as you please, senior."

The second young master was inwardly panicked, but his face remained respectfully smiling.

I'm so frustrated! How did we end up with such a mysterious figure on board? We even showed him our most important account books, and I don't know if he figured anything out.

Su Che leaped up and landed gently on the old turtle's back, scooping up the white porcelain bottle and slowly playing with it in his hand.

The souls of the eight hundred soldiers wailed and moaned, and a layer of yin energy emanated from Su San Gongzi. With a burst of water vapor, he looked seven parts ghost and three parts demon.

"I wonder where you are cultivating in the deep mountains, so I'll have something to say when I introduce you to my friends later."

The old turtle shook its head and wagged its tail, then pushed its body into the water.

The Xuanmen sect has its own methods to avoid water, but Su Che has the Yin Spring Nine Bends crafted by Yu Lizi. He directly opened this magical artifact, and a ball of dark light enveloped his body, allowing him to move freely underwater.

"You're quite the rascal, trying to probe my secrets?"

"What are you saying, fellow Daoist? We wouldn't dare to say such a thing."

Su Che gently shook his head: "Since you don't have the guts, why not focus on moving forward? I've always been upright and honest, and I would never deceive you."

Open and aboveboard, yet they don't even know his name.

The old turtle muttered to itself, then spread its four webbed feet and began to swim underwater.
