Chapter 461: Chapter 264: If you want the moon in the sky, I will pluck it for you (Second update, asking for monthly tickets)
At this time, in the small courtyard within the bamboo forest,
in the bamboo forest by the courtyard gate, two little demons were carelessly hopping around, causing snow to fall in flurries, with snowballs flying back and forth by the door frame.
Under the pavilion, Lian Nichang, dressed in a red dress, was wiping a Three-foot Green Peak Sword with a white cloth, the blade gleaming coldly.
Under the eaves, Old Wu on the rocking chair had gone inside to rest, leaving the empty chair to sway with the breeze, squeaking softly.
By the pond, Fang Qingzhu, clad in white, stood daydreaming, lost in thought after adjusting her breath inside before stepping out.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was tranquil yet strange.
Just then, a gigantic dog’s head bizarrely squeezed through the small gap in the wooden door, its eerie green eyes glancing around the courtyard.
"Jiji"
A shrill, ear-piercing sound.
The two little demons playing in the bamboo forest, making snowballs, were the first to notice the gigantic dog’s head, their fur standing on end in shock.
"Pa"
A fist-sized snowball hit the dog’s face directly, and the two little critters dashed inward.
This commotion shattered the tranquility of the courtyard.
Lian Nichang, who was wiping the sword, stood up abruptly, her brows furrowed, eyes like sword light shooting at the gigantic dog’s head.
Fang Qingzhu, lost in thought, also sensed a fierce Demonic Qi, suddenly lifting her head, sleeves flicking to catch the two little ones who had run back, her beautiful eyes fixed on the courtyard gate.
At the gate, the gigantic dog’s head passed directly through the door imbued with Spirit Light from the Prohibition, shook its head scattering snow, then fixed its fierce green eyes on the two little creatures on Fang Qingzhu’s shoulder, baring its bloody gums and ferocious fangs.
At the same time, a fierce magical sound rumbled from its throat,
"Even you little critters dare to mess with me, your Grandpa Dog!"
"I’ll eat you!"
The two little ones, frightened out of their wits, felt the suppression of the bloodline.
Just then, a voice wafted in from the inner room.
"Bootlicker!"
"You’ve arrived."
As the words faded, Chen Yuan stepped out.
With Chen Yuan’s appearance, the fierce-faced Heavenly Dog immediately changed its demeanor, retracting its fangs, and crossed over seven to eight zhang in a single bound, arriving swiftly in front of Chen Yuan, wagging its tail, eyes shrouded in mystery.
This scene left the two women and the two little demons in the yard in stunned silence.
"Master, the subordinates have completed the task, redeploying more than ten thousand cavalry from Chilong Pass. Currently, the main force is estimated to be nine hundred li away from Qingshan County, heh heh." Reported the Heavenly Dog.
Chen Yuan nodded, his eyes darting downward, "Was it smooth? Did the Colonel at Chilong Pass say anything?"
"Smooth, of course it was smooth. Master, you didn’t know, once that brat heard it was you redeploying troops, he was extremely cooperative and even entertained...heh heh."
Hearing this, Chen Yuan’s eyes narrowed, looking at this fellow, and kicked it immediately, "Soldiers must not be humiliated. I sent you to redeploy troops, not indulge in amusement."
The Heavenly Dog, wincing in pain from the kick, but hearing the warning in Chen Yuan’s words, quickly replied, "Yes, yes."
Grumbling inwardly, this guy doesn’t treat me like a person, but it knew that only by enduring could it survive, unaware that Chen Yuan was also testing it.
"Alright, transform into human form, don’t scare anyone; I have a task to assign you."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Dog complied, transforming back to its previous form, with a mustache, white face without a beard, wearing Mystic Armor.
"Master, what is the task?"
Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, his eyes flashing with brilliance, "I have previously experienced your Heavenly Dog’s ability to track Qi, I need you to find someone!"
"That’s simple, leave it to me." The Heavenly Dog, full of confidence, saw it as another chance to claim credit. The last time it was rewarded with a Dragon Energy, which was now being refined within its body, an indescribably wonderful sensation, prompting a silly laugh.
Chen Yuan had been waiting for this exact statement, flipping his sleeve, he sent a bean-sized black flame toward the Heavenly Dog.
The Heavenly Dog opened its mouth wide, swallowing the small black flame at once. After two breaths, its eerie pupils turned entirely white, and strands of white hair began to prick out of its skin, appearing rather peculiar.
Soon after, with a "poof", the small black flame leapt out of its white pupils again.
And the silhouette within the flame slowly began to condense.
One breath, two breaths.....
After a while, the imprint in the flame still failed to appear, the Heavenly Dog started to look frustrated and indignant, growling lowly, as more white fur sprouted over its body, forming patterns.
Yet, even after half a cup of tea time, there was still no success. By this time, the demon’s white pupils gradually faded back to their eerie green, looking rather embarrassed.
"Master, this person’s Qi is of the Martial Vault, suppressing my Divine Skills, always falling short."
"But you see, this skill isn’t at its strongest yet, except...." saying this, its Demon Eye rolled upward.
"Except for what?" Chen Yuan couldn’t help frowning.
"Except we need to wait for nightfall, when the moon is high, the inheritance of the Heavenly Dog Clan often receives amplification under moonlit nights, especially during full moon, when we’re strongest."
"But with the current chaotic weather, the heavy snow covering the sky, and the absence of moonlight, my Divine Skills can’t be fully utilized."
The Heavenly Dog’s words were true. The bloodline Divine Skills of the Heavenly Dog Clan can only be fully exhibited when the moon is high—something Chen Yuan had indeed experienced.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan’s frown gradually relaxed, his eyes flickering.
Disrupting the heavenly phenomena, and yet maintaining a clear sky, is indeed beyond my current Divine Skills, or only feasible within a limited range, but surely insufficient. freёwebnoѵel.com
But he hadn’t forgotten the Seal bestowed by the Heavenly General, which lay at his feet, capable of issuing commands within a region.
He closed his eyes, sensing keenly, gradually, a gentle breeze arose beneath his feet, isolating the wind and snow outside, then soared upward, entering the ethereal heights of the snowy sky.
After a while, Chen Yuan’s eyes snapped open, shooting out a sharp light.
It’s doable!
"Alright, you want the moon in the sky, once the hour arrives, I’ll pluck it out for you!"
"Hmm?"
The Heavenly Dog was taken aback, could that work?
Yet at this moment, Chen Yuan wasted no more words, with a flick of his sleeve, several strands of Demonic Qi were spilled onto the snowy ground in front, transforming without revealing their true forms into three Taoist Soldier Demons.
These were the group Chen Yuan had contracted back from the Demon Battlefield.
"By my calculations, the other two armies should soon reach the Langdang Mountain Territory as well."
"Nightfall is nearly two hours away. If the armies arrive early, it will certainly alarm that fellow, which would not be fun." Saying this, Chen Yuan’s eyes flashed with a fierce light, a smirk on his face.
"You three, transform into human form, swiftly convey the General’s orders, to hold the three armies outside Langdang Mountain, awaiting my further instructions."
As the words fell, the three strands of Demonic Qi flew out of the small courtyard with a whoosh, disappearing into the wind and snow, quickly vanishing from sight.
"Next, we just have to wait for the night to fall!"
Raising his head to look, Chen Yuan said coldly.
