I Have A Dual World Seal

The moon hung high in the sky, the wind was gentle, and the clouds sparse.

In the autumn season, insects chirped incessantly.

All of Peach Blossom Plain was very quiet, and Taohua Village behind it was hidden within the peach grove, seemingly asleep as well.

Yet a wisp of demonic aura quietly drifted in.

The demonic aura circled around the outer courtyard of Taohua Village, then with a gentle tremor, it floated towards the rear courtyard, transforming into a vast curtain in the blink of an eye, and headed down with a roar towards the western wing of the rear courtyard.

"Swish!"

With a light sound, a pink glow flashed between heaven and earth, and a thin veil of Peach Blossom Evil suddenly appeared outside the wing, blocking the demonic aura.

"Hmm?"

A hoarse, sinister voice emerged from the demonic aura, "My target is these two wolf demons from the Northern Domain, Incense and Candle Minor God! If you get in the way, I’ll annihilate you too!"

As soon as the voice finished...

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The sound of fluttering clothes rose up in a series.

Lu Zheng withdrew his concealment, and a large group of people appeared around the wing in the rear courtyard, enclosing the entire rear courtyard.

Shen Ying, enveloped in a thick Peach Blossom Incense aura, obscured the sky, hovering in the northern sky.

Five Tushan Celestial Foxes from the Tu Family stood in the west, with the illusory shadows of numerous fox tails swaying behind them, stirring up clouds and demonic aura that soared to the heavens.

The Eighteen Peach Blossom Celestial Maidens, holding jade peach blossoms, were in the southern position, connecting their energies to form a formation.

Meanwhile, Liu Qingyan, Yue Honghai, and others appeared in the east. They seemed numerous but were actually the weakest.

As expected, upon seeing so many people, the demon was not afraid; instead, its voice carried excitement.

"Heh heh, ha ha, quite a crowd, and there are even a few foxes?"

As the demonic aura in the rear courtyard receded, a demon shadow with a wolf head and human body emerged, gazing at the five Celestial Foxes blocking the way in the west with even greater fervor.

"Lucky! Lucky indeed! Two wolves and five foxes, all excellent materials, just right to make dog souls for my demon banner!"

One must admit, this demon indeed had reason to be arrogant, for in terms of cultivation alone, it had over two thousand years of Dao practice, unmatched by anyone present.

Although Shen Ying’s side had more people, in the demon’s eyes, if the cultivation wasn’t sufficient, quantity only meant more prey!

However...

The next moment, the demon suddenly pulled out a black banner, and with a wave, demonic qi surged, transforming into a sea of blue fire. From the fire emerged countless bizarre demon dog illusions, surging forth.

Some were twisted, with three eyes on their foreheads.

Some had tails split into three branches, their bodies covered in bone spurs.

Some had wings growing from their backs, with prominently protruding hind claws.

Some had six legs and two heads on their shoulders.

It was all about being monstrous!

Moreover, these bizarre demon dog illusions were clearly guided by divine souls, but the souls in the illusions had long been twisted into a state of frenzied, bloodthirsty, and mindless demonic intent.

Blue flames burned on these demon dog illusions, strands of which dispersed into the air, slowly merging with the world.

"More people? Let them serve as food for the dog souls of my demon banner!"

In the next moment, the endless demon dog illusions lunged towards the four directions, the blue flames on their bodies burning out of thin air, carrying the ability to twist divine souls, making one feel discomfort at just a glance.

Shen Ying’s eyes flashed, and the five Tushan Foxes’ expressions darkened; this demon’s strength was beyond their expectations.

Though they had no fear of it, they feared a tough battle was ahead...

"So it’s a dog demon that’s fallen."

The next moment, a clear voice suddenly rang out, and a sudden mass of white clouds formed out of nowhere, swiftly encompassing the entire inner courtyard, enveloping all the demon dogs.

Innate Cloud Qi, without root or source, yet inexhaustible and omnipresent.

"Who is it!?"

The demon was taken aback, frantically waving the black banner in its hand. Countless demon dogs charged everywhere, yet they couldn’t break through the barrier of the cloud mass, and the blue flames were exhausted by the Innate Cloud Qi.

"What powerful cloud qi!"

Feeling the Innate Cloud Qi, denser than when sparring with Yue Yifeng before, and the pervasive Dao charm, Tu Yuya was shocked, "Brother Lu now has such Dao practice?"

Back when the Tu Family’s Three Sisters first found Liu Qingyan, Lu Zheng’s Dao practice was about the same as Tu Yuya’s, barely stronger, relying only on varied tactics and exquisite spells to suppress Tu Yuya.

Yet in less than three years, Lu Zheng’s Dao practice had visibly crushed hers.

Tu Yuya was astounded!

She hadn’t been idle during these three years; as one of the esteemed Tushan Celestial Foxes, though not as gifted as the matriarch, she faced no barriers or bottlenecks in her cultivation. Three years of practice had elevated her cultivation by nearly a hundred years of Dao practice.

Even if not a meteoric rise, it could be called a rapid advance.

However...

Compared to Lu Zheng, it was like a child seeing a giant; if she improved by ten percent, then Lu Zheng had at least doubled!

The demon, with its extraordinary cultivation and formidable demonic artifact, couldn’t believe it was trapped by a mere mass of cloud qi from Lu Zheng.

"The souls of those demon dogs are strange and numerous, difficult to deal with. I’ll handle it."

Lu Zheng stood beside Liu Qingyan, forming a seal with his fingers as he explained, "Moreover, I recognize this demon’s magic; it’s not an ordinary demon. There’s likely a Fallen Celestial Demon behind it."

"A Fallen Celestial Demon?" The Tu Family members could not help but tighten their gaze, their expressions more solemn.

"Primordial Fang Dog Demon Venerable!" Shen Ying said in a deep voice, gazing at the occasional flashes of eerie blue within the cloud qi.

When Si Lingxi casually investigated the Heartless True Desire Demon Ancestor, she unexpectedly found a disciple he left behind. When they approached, they discovered the demon had received true teachings from a demon named Primordial Fang Dog Demon Venerable.

That demon, in terms of strength alone, was actually more powerful than today’s foe, yet today’s demon wielded a treasure, and those thousand demon dog souls were indeed troublesome.

"Die!"

Within the Innate Cloud Qi, the demon frantically waved the black banner, and countless demon dog illusions along with blue flames erupted wildly.

Lu Zheng’s gaze condensed, and the White Cloud Banner appeared behind him. With a wave, the Innate Cloud Qi grew even denser.

"Qingwei Yu Chen, Nine Yang Jade Essence Divine Thunder, exorcise demons, suppress!"

"Boom!"

Within the Innate Cloud Qi, golden light flickered, Qingwei Thunder Technique gathered Demon-Slaying Divine Thunder, descending from the sky, striking right at the demon.

Simultaneously, a streak of golden-red flame ignited at the demon’s feet, bearing the momentum to incinerate all things under heaven, climbing upwards, as if seeking to engulf the demon at its center.

"Aaah!"

The demon shrieked in agony, resorting to shielding itself with a blue sea of fire, yet the demon dog illusions were shattered one by one by the thunder, and the sea of fire was worn away bit by bit by the Phoenix Divine Fire.

Subsequently, no matter how it charged left or right, it couldn’t escape the confines of the Innate Cloud Qi, until the east revealed a crimson glow, and the scale of the Innate Cloud Qi diminished.

When the red sun rose, the sky brightened, and tourists arrived outside Peach Blossom Plain to offer incense at Taohua Temple, the cloud mass in the village’s rear courtyard finally dispersed.

Left in mid-air was only a dim, lifeless black banner and a drop of blue liquid suspended beside it.

"What is this?" Tu Yuya inquired.

"Truly losing one and gaining another, unexpectedly missing one but gaining another instead."

Lu Zheng shook his head, speaking in terms the others couldn’t understand, then solemnly said, "This is a drop of demonic blood from the incarnation of the Primordial Fang Dog Demon Venerable’s True Spirit."
