Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying-Chapter 361 - 310: Calculating Fate, Yang Qiang!

Baji saw Yang Feng staring blankly into the Demon Realm Transmission Array and felt puzzled, so he also took a glance.

Inside, it was pitch black without any movement.

As usual, it would take a while for someone on the other side to possibly respond after the activation, or there might be no response for an entire day.

This was not a certainty.

He patted Yang Feng on the shoulder.

"Remember... you mustn’t act impulsively, this storage ring... was left to you by the Family Head, I’ll keep it for the time being, and you may use the items inside to exchange with the Demon Clan for the supplies you need."

Baji took out a space ring and placed it on Yang Feng’s hand.

Yang Fu had given him this before he set out, after Yang Feng had passed Yang Fu’s test, proving he could be a member of the Yang Family.

Yang Fu was also raising him like his own child.

He, like Yang Qiangwei, was a cross-breed of human and demon, and if he wanted to cultivate to higher levels, he definitely couldn’t avoid seeking Demon World goods.

After Yang Qiang, who was an expert on such matters, had investigated, Yang Fu found some resources that were readily available in the Spirit Miao Continent but scarce in the Demon World, all of which were in this ring.

Intended for trade with the demons on the other side of the gate.

Before Yang Fu departed for the Dragon God Immortal Palace... he summoned Baji.

"Baji, ever since you arrived, you’ve been with my Yang Family, and although we signed a slave contract, I’ve always treated you as a friend, as a steward of the family. The contract has long expired, and you are a free man, free to leave at any time. But since you didn’t speak up, I never asked."

"Today, I must travel, and the future is uncertain, so I need to make arrangements for my family in case of emergencies..."

"I offer you two options."

Yang Fu took out two storage rings.

"One, this storage ring in my left hand contains enough Immortal Grain for you to cultivate to the peak of Foundation Establishment. You can leave with it, seek your Golden Core path, or start your own family. If we meet again in the Jianghu in the future, we can still address each other... as Daoist."

"Two, this storage ring in my right hand contains all the treasures that can be exchanged with the Demon World; join the Yang Family, swear an oath to heaven never to betray the Yang Family, become a side branch of the Yang Family, and help me manage this ring. Take good care of Yang Feng, he is proud and impulsive but has a heart of gold. You must protect him and prevent him from going astray."

Baji’s slave contract had long expired, but he had remained with the Yang Family.

He had been secretly searching for traces of Feng Zhong, wanting to eliminate this threat to the Yang Family before leaving.

But that search... spanned 20 years, and his mission under Ghost Shadow Tower was still unfinished.

Baji had grown accustomed to his days in the Yang Family, watching Yang Feng and Yang Qiangwei grow up, feeling increasingly reluctant to leave... and he was closest to Yang Feng.

Because Yang Feng’s magic... was the same color as his skin.

Just as black.

"Heaven above, I, Baji, wish to join the Yang Family as a side branch, to honor the Family Head of the Yang Family as my own Family Head, to treat the affairs of the Yang Family as my own, never to betray the Yang Family, and if I violate this oath, may my body and soul be destroyed!"

Baji chose the latter, not only because of the bonds formed over so many years, but also because... he knew that the Yang Family was destined to rise, the Yang Family was blessed by an Immortal!

He came to the Spirit Miao Continent seeking a better future, and the future of the Yang Family... was incredibly bright!

Memories of the past flashed like streams of black light into Baji’s eyes... he looked at the ring.

Yang Fu had long prepared for the worst.

Baji knew that out of all the children, Yang Fu cared most about Yang Feng.

Because he was entrusted to him by Feng Xun before his death, and because he wasn’t his biological child...

Even if Yang Fu perished and his Dao was extinguished, the child would still have Baji’s protection.

As for his own children... they had their ancestral elders to look after them.

"Oh... oh, okay! I’ll be careful, Uncle Ba!"

Yang Feng looked at Baji in surprise and accepted the storage ring.

"Yang Feng, I can’t watch over you here forever. The other side still requires my intervention. Promise me, don’t sign a pact with a demon... the Family Head doesn’t want you to take the wrong path."

"Yes! I promise you, Uncle Ba."

If it had been just a few minutes earlier, Yang Feng would have promised Baji just to appease him because he was desperately in need of power, even if it meant sacrificing his own soul in exchange for that power!

But just now... only he could hear the response from the cave, and the storage ring Baji just gave him provided another choice.

"Good boy! I’m off!"

Baji transformed into an earthen figure and burrowed underground, stealthily escaping the array.

The Yang Family was now facing an existential crisis!

As the steward and side branch of the Yang Family, Baji had to exert his greatest strength!

"Yang Family’s foundations... do you truly understand them?"

Baji had done many dirty deeds for the Yang Family, deeds not even Shen Yao and the others knew about...

And as someone who handled underground operations, his practiced magic... had changed.

He shifted from the open and straightforward "Earth Shattering Sky Technique" to the "Earth Shadow Hidden Killing Technique" practiced by the Earth Element assassins of Ghost Shadow Tower.

With this technique combined with his racial talents, in the depths of night... no one could find him!

Treading underground, Baji’s palm released a jet-black needle.

Low Grade Treasure [Heart Stealing Needle], silent and swift when activated, capable of penetrating protective Magic Treasures!

It was a weapon created specifically for assassination!

Whoosh!

As the Jin Family surrounded Hui Ji the Daoist, preventing the Yang Family from interfering with his breaking of the formation, a fine needle flew out from beneath their feet!

"Family Head, we only need to protect Hui Ji the Daoist, and let the Spirit Beasts attack; the Yang Family won’t be able to breach us or defend, and it won’t take three days before they will..."

Xu Hui felt a sharp pain in his chest.
