Chapter 377: Chapter 15: Ancestor of Tao-teaching · Thousand-Faced Demon God

The Xuansu Clan indeed existed as gods a thousand years ago.

They also truly witnessed the migration of the Huai River Witch with their own eyes.

However, just like all the gods at that time, the Xuansu Clan couldn’t understand the choices of the Huai River Witch.

But unlike other gods, the Xuansu Clan were eager to learn.

During the migration of the Huai River Witch, the Xuansu Clan had a conversation with this famous Celestial Witch, and learned many things from them.

However, the interaction between the Xuansu Clan and the Huai River Witch was limited to this.

Because the Xuansu Clan was not only a god of Great Xia, but also a secret messenger under the East Sea God Yugguo—The Forbidden Palace Envoy

When Wu Yi completed "Shooting Heaven" and decided to preemptively strike against the East Sea God Yugguo.

It was the Xuansu Clan who timely notified the Great Xia Gods, completing a backstab against Wu Yi at the last moment.

It can be said without reservation that it was the Xuansu Clan’s information that changed the dynamics of Great Xia, leading to the current situation.

Under these circumstances, naturally, the Great Witches of Great Xia could not let go of the Xuansu Clan.

"Is it really just that?"

Listening to the simple description of the Xuansu Clan, Li Boyang asked skeptically.

"If Wu Zhen were just out to kill you, you should have died long ago, or maybe wouldn’t have even met Er Tu."

"So what exactly are you still hiding?"

If it were someone else or at another time, Li Boyang would never interrogate so aggressively.

Call it arrogance or personal habit, Li Boyang always liked to explore and unravel the unknown mysteries himself.

However, this time was different, involving the existence of Er Tu.

Even without using the Celestial Destiny Bone Armor for further divination.

Li Boyang’s [Omen Divine Power] kept warning him that the secrets hidden by the Xuansu Clan were very dangerous.

Yet Er Tu truly liked this mysterious goddess.

Li Boyang didn’t want to reveal the Xuansu Clan’s secrets in front of Er Tu and could only take a more extreme approach.

"About this problem..."

"If she doesn’t want to answer, I can answer for her."

A cold voice suddenly came from not far away, soundless and breathless.

Soon after, a pitch-black skeleton appeared from nothing, like a phantom projected into their sight.

Upon seeing the pitch-black skeleton, the Xuansu Clan’s expression instantly tensed up.

Yet Li Boyang seemed to have expected it and just calmly turned his head, his face unchanged.

"Wu Zhen? Or should I say Wu Zhen’s puppet."

Li Boyang admitted that Wu Zhen had given him too many surprises.

Currently, this pitch-black skeleton was not a skeleton at all, but a spectral body existing in the form of a "skeleton."

To make a comparison, it was like a Yin Spirit from the Netherworld.

"I apologize for meeting you in this way."

"But I’ve learned about you from Wu Xian and Wu Peng, and this way is safest for me."

Wu Zhen continued speaking through the Netherworld Demon God, without hiding his apprehension of Li Boyang.

"It seems I’m quite famous in your Great Xia?"

Hearing about his fame outside the Hundred Lands Mountain Range for the first time, Li Boyang was inevitably curious.

Considering those bizarre divine statue clay sculptures and the not-so-friendly interactions he had with the Great Witches.

Li Boyang had a vague guess about his reputation in Great Xia.

"Indeed quite famous, the Ancestor of Tao-teaching, Descent Celestial Being, Red-haired Ghost God, Mountain Prophet, Thousand-Faced Demon God, Sword Bearer..."

Upon hearing the initial titles, Li Boyang could barely maintain stable emotions.

But when he heard the completely unfamiliar titles "Thousand-Faced Demon God" and "Sword Bearer," he couldn’t help but show a shocked expression.

"Wait a minute, I can understand the previous titles..."

"What’s the deal with ’Thousand-Faced Demon God’ and ’Sword Bearer’? I don’t recall having such titles?"

Seeing this situation, the Xuansu Clan, who hadn’t spoken since the Netherworld Demon God appeared, took over the topic and said.

"The ’Thousand-Faced Demon God’ is because you never cared about your divine statues..."

"No matter how those humans and spirit monsters who worship you shaped your statue, you’ve never appeared in person once."

"Be it god or demon, even those Ancient Gods of the Wilderness wouldn’t let mortals desecrate them like you."

"Besides, your unique fighting style also matches the title ’Thousand-Faced’ very well."

"Even though you possess great power, you always like to learn and imitate others’ divine powers..."

"Even in battles, you tend to force out all of your opponent’s cards instead of using powerful divine artifacts to crush them."

Upon hearing this, Li Boyang wanted to refute that he simply had foresight—a trait exclusive to a Divination Master’s battle style.

If the odds of winning are a hundred percent, who would refuse to learn more things?

"As for the ’Sword Bearer’?"

"This title is a summary of your personality and greatest ability by the Spirit Mountain Ten Witches."

Seeing the slightly bewildered Li Boyang, the Xuansu Clan recalled that awe-inspiring sword from before.

Though these years they’ve been avoiding Wu Zhen’s pursuit.

The Xuansu Clan had never stopped communicating with the outside world.

Especially after Wu Xian, Wu Ji, Wu Luo, Wu Peng, these four Spirit Mountain Ten Witches, returned from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range one by one.

Li Boyang’s image in Great Xia was no longer just as simple as being considered a Sorcerer King candidate highly valued by Wu Yi."

"Your fighting methods are ever-changing, and the number of divine artifacts is countless..."

"Yet your most powerful artifact is a completely mysterious, yellow sword that gathers wind, fire, thunder, and electricity, and can slay the immortal Flying Sword."

"Even a Sorcerer King as powerful as Wu Yi ultimately died under that Flying Sword."

With a slight pause, the Xuansu Clan glanced at both Li Boyang and the Netherworld Demon God before continuing.

"As for your personality, it’s even simpler."

"No matter if you’re a Saint or what you’ve done for the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

"In the eyes of the Great Xia Witches, you are someone extremely protective, vengeful, yet decisive in action."

"Two years ago, Divine Monarch Meng Zhang returned to the East Sea with the Sea Calming Tripod, single-handedly quelling the East Sea water disaster."

"Yet this was not what the Great Witches wanted to see."

"They needed a Sea Calming Tripod completely under their control, a chance to reclaim the Guardian Divine Tripod of Great Xia."

"But all this turned into bubbles because of your retaliation, and Great Xia even completely lost the opportunity to reclaim the Sea Calming Tripod as a result."

"So, the Spirit Mountain Ten Witches first referred to you as ’Sword Bearer’—a person who delights in revenge, carrying a sword to confront them."

Li Boyang could tell that the Xuansu Clan embellished many parts when narrating these stories.

At the very least, the title of "Sword Bearer," filled with murderous intent and even a hint of awe, wasn’t as understated as they said.

This fact was also evident from Wu Zhen’s cautious demeanor.

It’s a name of reverence exclusive among the great witches of Great Xia, a summary and conclusion of Li Boyang’s previous conduct and style.
