I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 170 - 39: The Death of the Huai River Witch (3/3)

Chapter 170: Chapter 39: The Death of the Huai River Witch (3/3)

The path in the Ghost God Cliff Cave wasn’t particularly long.

In no time, the Guirong Clan had traversed the winding road, reaching the end of the Ghost God Cliff Cave.

"You seem to have plenty of free time..."

What caught the attention of the Guirong Clan first was not the big black dog shackled in chains, but the rocky pool beside it, used by Li Boyang as an "experimental field."

Drip... Drip... Drip...

The mountain spring water dripped from the stalactites into the pool, becoming the only source of sound in this dark space.

Stalks of withering rice grew messily along the pool, like weeds.

Ever since the rebirth of the Barbarian Lady, Li Boyang had passed on the task of selecting good seed varieties to her.

Now, apart from occasionally visiting the Ghost God Cliff Cave to discuss cultivation methods with the big black dog, Li Boyang had practically abandoned this rocky pool.

After all, this cave is ultimately a place devoid of day and night, and the big black dog isn’t a professional Spring God.

Passing the task of breeding seed varieties to the Barbarian Lady was not only justified but also saved Li Boyang a lot of effort.

At the very least, Li Boyang could now focus more energy on other matters without worrying about cultivating seed varieties for the next year.

"What I do with my time is none of your business. I just want to know what you want with me?"

The big black dog, tugging at its chains, stood up warily.

For some reason, the big black dog felt a familiar aura coming from the Guirong Clan. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

This made the big black dog suspicious.

Could the other party be related to the memory it lost?

Yet from the previous conversation, it seemed the Guirong Clan denied the possibility that they had ever met?

Most crucially, the big black dog’s Primordial Spirit kept warning it—this opponent was definitely dangerous!

In fact, this was why the big black dog didn’t hesitate to use its Primordial Spirit and manifest its Yin Spirit, to probe the opponent’s depth in advance.

"Wu Yao treats you really well, so well that even I can’t help but feel envious."

Its face suddenly twisted, and the voice was unusually excited...

The Guirong Clan stared intently at the big black dog across from it, almost tangible malice in its eyes causing overwhelming fear.

"Who exactly are you!?"

Its pupils instinctively tightened, the big black dog again felt a throb from its Primordial Spirit.

This time, however, the Primordial Spirit conveyed not just a warning of danger but some kind of kinship... resonance?

"Eh?"

Having seemingly experienced the same sensation, the Guirong Clan uttered a sound of surprise.

"When did you acquire so many messy abilities?"

Whether it was the previously manifested Yin Spirit, or now this sharp Omen Divine Power...

The Guirong Clan hadn’t expected at all that this big black dog, imprisoned in Ghost God Cliff for thousands of years, could show so many abilities beyond its expectation.

"Is it that Red-haired Ghost?"

A flash of realization crossed its eyes, feeling like it knew the answer.

In fact, before the Heaven-Howling Clan had fallen silent, the Guirong Clan had always instructed them to closely monitor the Ghost God Cliff.

This was also why the Heaven-Howling Clan had initially called Li Boyang the "Red-haired Ghost."

Being a descendant of the Huai River Witch, accepted by the Mountain God of Yunmeng Mountain, and even residing in the Divine Temple of Feilai Peak...

Li Boyang’s attention among the Five Directions Gods had never been low.

"I never thought that Red-haired Ghost would teach all his skills to you!"

Finally, at this moment, the Guirong Clan understood why it felt so familiar upon seeing the big black dog’s Yin Spirit.

Because that was clearly a simplified version of the Red-haired Ghost’s "Celestial God State."

As for that keen Omen Divine Power?

It now seemed, was evidently a simplified version of the Huai River Witch’s "Celestial Destiny Divine Power."

"What the hell is going on here!?"

Now the big black dog was utterly baffled.

It could clearly feel that the Guirong Clan was sharing its abilities.

No wonder the opponent had so effortlessly defeated its Yin Spirit before.

Its trump cards were utterly transparent to the other party, completely one-sided!

"Do you still remember how the Huai River Witch died?"

Instead of directly answering the big black dog’s question, the Guirong Clan suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"A thousand years ago, the Huai River Witch led her clan across the Central Province, coming to this barren land to reclaim and cultivate."

"But at that time, the Hundred Lands Mountain Range was full of Barbarian Gods and Wild Gods who couldn’t tolerate some mortals building and expanding on their territory."

"Thus, the Huai River Witch engaged with these Barbarian Gods and Wild Gods in magical combat that lasted for decades."

Not giving the big black dog a chance to answer, the Guirong Clan continued speaking on its own.

"During this process, the Huai River Witch subdued, suppressed, and sealed many Ghost Gods..."

"There was, however, one Ghost God attracted by her charm, who willingly joined her camp and fought for her."

"That Ghost God was known as the ’Celestial Erosion Monarch,’ possessing the ability to devour sun and moon, being the strongest Celestial God in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range at that time."

"With His assistance, the Huai River Witch ultimately established this Ghost God Cliff and sealed those Barbarian Gods and Wild Gods within."

By this point, the big black dog’s expression had shifted from confusion to anger.

"What are you trying to say?"

"Are you accusing me?"

Still ignoring the big black dog, the Guirong Clan simply let out a deep sigh.

"Unfortunately, although the Huai River Witch possessed world-shaking abilities, she was particularly lenient towards humans."

"Especially her own clan, the Huai River Witch was almost accommodating to their every request, rarely refusing their demands."

"Such one-sided indulgence inevitably led to predictable outcomes..."

"When the Witch couldn’t satisfy the desires and gaps in people’s hearts, retribution naturally followed."

Its eyes already filled with furious blood, the big black dog roared sternly.

"Shut up! You’re courting death!"

As if to validate its words.

All of Feilai Peak trembled with the big black dog’s anger.

Clatter...

The chains went taut, every muscle in its body swelled and bulged.

The big black dog, eyes widened with rage, attempted to bite the Guirong Clan but couldn’t actually reach it due to the chains’ restraints.

Bang...

Triggered by this tension, chunks of stalactite started crumbling, and the ground below began to quake.

As this force transmitted outside the cave, it successfully set the entire Feilai Peak trembling.

The already damaged seal due to You Chong’s actions now appeared on the verge of collapse.

Bang...

Standing resolutely amidst the shaking cave.

The Guirong Clan remained unmoved by the big black dog’s intimidation, its face reflecting subtle sadness instead.

"The desires within human hearts can never be satisfied..."

"Especially when a century-long drought hits, they will do anything to survive."

"Even if it means sharing the ’Witch’ who led them to this point, it’s a natural thing."

"Just like when prayers and rituals fail to deliver the results they want..."

"Humans will topple the idols they once placed on the altar."

"This is the essence of the mountain people, the essence of humanity, a creature fearing power and not cherishing virtue, selfish beyond measure."

"Whether Witch or God..."

"When they need you, they will act more devout and humble than any other creature."

"But once you can’t meet their needs, you too are on their ’menu.’
