Chapter 2247 - 2242: The Tree Changed Color

Chapter 2247: Chapter 2242: The Tree Changed Color

Niu Lili glanced cautiously at Tang Ming, then picked up the golden sore medicine powder and smelled it.

Although she rarely left Dou Niu Mountain, she was considered a girl who had seen much of the world.

Her father and brothers at home doted on her immensely, and when her brothers organized the Demon Hunting Team to leave Dou Niu Mountain, they would bring her gifts.

Once, one of her brothers brought back golden sore medicine powder; it was said to be specially-made healing powder by the Hall Master of Tianpo City’s clinic, especially good for treating external injuries.

She gave that package to her father, since this medicine powder didn’t have much effect for her, but in the hands of her father, it could be used for treating some wounded clan members.

The golden healing powder was gently applied to the wound, and the cooling sensation soothed Niu Lili’s tense expression significantly: "Thank you for the medicine powder."

"No need to be courteous, sister. You just said you are Uncle Niu Hao’s daughter, right?"

Tang Ming smiled at Niu Lili.

Niu Lili was first taken aback, then nodded and said: "Yes, my name is Niu Lili. I don’t know where this brother comes from; are you here to visit my father?"

"That’s right. My aunt and I have come to Dou Niu Mountain this time to visit your father. We are from the Fox Spirit Mountain Range."

Tang Ming smiled at Niu Lili.

"Fox Spirit Mountain Range? Are you a Fox Demon?"

Niu Lili suddenly became interested in Tang Ming, her face showing an excited expression.

Tang Ming’s lips twitched slightly, then he shook his head: "No, I am the son-in-law of Fox Spirit Mountain."

"Oh, so you’re not a Fox Demon, that’s disappointing. I’ve heard that Fox Demons, no matter male or female, are very beautiful, especially their tails, which have a particularly good texture to touch. Can a male Fox Demon’s tail really enhance human females’ Divine Soul power? Is that true?"

Niu Lili asked curiously.

Hu Jiuze came to Tang Ming’s side: "What you’ve heard is deceptive. Our Fox Demon Clan indeed has dual cultivation techniques that can help partners enhance Divine Soul power, but it requires two people to be very compatible. Usually, it’s through marriage within the clan that such an effect occurs."

"Ninth aunt? Where is that guy?"

Tang Ming saw Zeng Xing suddenly disappear and raised his eyebrows.

Hu Jiuze grinned: "I ate him. He tasted pretty good; his flesh and soul significantly boosted my cultivation by nearly a hundred years."

"Ate him." Tang Ming’s lips twitched slightly, then he looked at Niu Lili and said: "Then how do we explain this to Senior Niu Hao?"

"What’s there to fear, isn’t there Niu Lili and these guys’ corpses as evidence? Lili, do you remember my voice, aunt? So many years have passed in a flash, I even held you when you were born."

Niu Lili’s whole face stiffened.

Hu Jiuze at this moment was still in her puppet form of a bearded man; although her voice was amiable, her expression remained stern.

Niu Lili backed up repeatedly: "You, are you a man or a woman?"

Tang Ming could feel the aura on Hu Jiuze tighten; he coughed once, then said: "Miss Lili, this is Elder Hu Jiuze of the Fox Spirit Mountain Range. She fell in battle against Demon Abyss enemies in West Continent City years ago; now she is a Ghost Cultivator, and this body is a puppet."

"Hu Jiuze? The top beauty of the three beauties of the Fox Spirit Mountain Range, Hu Jiuze? Aunt Jiuzhe, how did you end up like this?"

Niu Lili, being a sensitive person, remembered her mother often mentioning Hu Jiuze, saying her grandmother once suffered severe injuries and was saved by Hu Jiuze.

If it weren’t for Hu Jiuze, her father may have only had one brother, but Hu Jiuze saved her grandmother and saved her aunt who was still in her grandmother’s womb at the time.

"Child, it’s fate, don’t talk about me. Tang Ming and I just came from the bottom of the mountain, and the watchers your father set up have all been killed by these people. Go notify your father quickly."

Hu Jiuze was not willing to bring up past events, she sighed deeply and patted Niu Lili’s shoulder.

Niu Lili nodded, she bit her finger, and her green blood under the incantation turned blue, then transformed into red.

She dropped the drop of blood on an ancient tree beside the road, instantly turning the tree leaves red, and in a moment, all the flowers, grasses, and trees around turned red, from the foot of the mountain all the way to the top.

Niu Hao had seen off his eldest son in the morning; with the mountain’s food supply dwindling, if the clan did not go out to hunt demons to exchange for some food, next month’s life would be hard.

Sometimes, Niu Hao even thought about whether he should take the clan and leave the ancestral land to the outside of the West Desolation.

After all, given the Niu family’s bloodline and the abilities it brought, they could survive well anywhere.

But he thought long and hard and didn’t leave; after all, Dou Niu Mountain is the Niu family’s ancestral land, a place where the Blood God used to live.

Every grass and tree here harbors the power of the Blood God, though the demonized land has made it difficult to grow Immortal Rice.

But the Evergreen Grass and Evergreen Ancient Trees left by the Blood God have been unaffected.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, look quickly, the tree in the yard has changed color."

The voice of little grandson Niu Ben rang out in the yard.

Sitting in the room, Niu Hao’s face changed immediately, he pushed open the door and came outside, and by this time, many Niu family Elders had gathered here.

"What’s going on? Clan Leader?"

Several Elders looked at Niu Hao.

Niu Hao took a deep breath: "It’s the clan’s warning signal. Enter first-level alert. All women and children move into the protective formation. You guard the formation, I’ll take a team to check it out."

"Dad, I’ll go with you."

His fifth son Niu Song came to Niu Hao’s side.

Niu Hao nodded, following the guidance of the Evergreen Trees, he came to the mountainside.

Seeing Niu Lili standing beside Hu Jiuze and Tang Ming talking and laughing, Niu Hao’s face instantly darkened: "Niu Lili, who allowed you to use Forbidden Technique?"

"Dad, this is Aunt Jiuzhe from the Fox Spirit Mountain Range. And this is Brother Tang Ming from the Fox Spirit Mountain Range."

Niu Lili pointed to Hu Jiuze beside her.

But Niu Hao snorted coldly: "The clan stipulates that Forbidden Techniques are not allowed unless it’s a matter of life and death for the entire clan. Though Sister Jiuzhe is indeed a great benefactor to my Niu family, it doesn’t meet the stipulations."

"Niu Hao, you’re still so rigid. Your daughter was kidnapped; do you know? The watchers you set up below the mountain were all killed; do you know? Look at these people behind me."

Hu Jiuze pointed to the corpses behind her.
