I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 119 - 31: Super-Sized God Altar (Part 1)

"You, you're even more deceitful than Er Tu."

Sick of entangling with a mere illusion.

Li Boyang's right hand formed a sword with his fingers, actively triggering his Body-Protecting Sword Qi.

Clang!

The sound of clashing metals rang out solemnly.

A three-foot-long Sword Aura shot forward fiercely, slicing through everything in Li Boyang's path.

This included the phantasms of the two Seven-tailed Foxes and the hastily erected makeshift altar.

Rumbling...

The aftermath of the altar and cellar collapsing instantly stirred up a cloud of dust.

The Sword Aura Li Boyang actively unleashed was far more exaggerated than his passive Body-Protecting Sword Qi, clearing the field in an instant.

"Seems like your illusion technique is not quite up to par, huh?"

"Without the blessing of this altar, you can't even maintain your phantasms..."

As the dust settled, nothing resembling a fox was in Li Boyang's sight anymore.

In its place, there was a tunnel large enough for three or four people to walk side by side.

This was the original form of that "cellar," an ultra-large underground shrine unobscured by any illusions.

"So this is the truth you aimed to hide?"

With a calm face, he stared at the tunnel ahead.

Li Boyang could clearly smell the stench of blood emanating from within.

This was not only a shrine but also the scene of a live sacrifice.

"You've been in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range long enough to know what I despise most, right?"

"Even if you say you're an old friend or acquaintance of the Huai River Witch, I won't spare you."

Without any hesitation, Li Boyang stepped into the dim tunnel.

Under the illumination of the fire above, Li Boyang could clearly see the entirety of this dark tunnel without using his Celestial Eye.

Dark red bloodstains stretched from the outside to the interior.

The stench of death from various beasts assaulted his nostrils.

"The conflict between us was a misunderstanding, why escalate it to this point?"

At this moment, the true voice of the Seven-tailed Fox echoed from within the shrine.

"You should be able to see that I haven't harmed any of the mountain people..."

"These are just common wild Spirit Monsters, some of which even attacked this village before."

"From your human perspective, I'm cleansing the scourge for the people!"

Continuing to walk forward without change in expression, Li Boyang retorted disdainfully.

"A slaughter is a slaughter, whatever reason you dress it up with, it's all to achieve your own ends."

"The only reason you didn't harm the villagers of the Mountain Village is that you want to hide for a bit longer."

"When your aim is about to be fulfilled, the villagers of this village would become your final offering, wouldn't they?"

"Qingqiu Fox? Child of Mount Tushan?"

Before the words were finished, Li Boyang suddenly stopped and asked.

At this moment, he was standing in the central hall of this underground shrine.

The dying Spider Queen had already closed her eyes.

Only the faintest of breaths indicated she was not dead yet.

Above heaps of spider carcasses, the true Seven-tailed Fox vigilantly eyed the Red-haired Child opposite.

...........................

Meanwhile, in the Mountain Village.

As Li Boyang's Sword Aura shattered all the illusions.

The Human-faced Fish in the village hastened their pace, attempting to lead all the villagers away from this perilous place.

It was at this moment that one of the Human-faced Fish, tilting its head, looked at the pregnant woman before it with difficulty.

"(Human-faced Fish language) You're not mesmerized by the Sleep Bug? And you're pregnant?"

Despite the language barrier, the Human-faced Fish tried its best to wiggle its body, showing goodwill to the wary pregnant woman opposite it.

"You're... not with that fox?"

Clutching her eight or nine-month pregnant belly tightly, the pregnant woman also seemed to sense the goodwill from the Human-faced Fish.

Yet, seeing the other Human-faced Fish bustling about, dragging villagers out of the village, she couldn't bring herself to trust the unfamiliar Water Monster immediately.

"(Human-faced Fish language) Oh no, this is trouble, should've learned how to speak with humans from the queen earlier."

Annoyedly patted its belly.

Just as the Human-faced Fish contemplated whether to report the situation to Red Fish, the pregnant woman suddenly stood up.

"Is that the Son of the Mountain God?"

"Were you sent by the Son of the Mountain God to rescue us?"

The pregnant woman, although hiding in the house all this time, had clearly witnessed Li Boyang's arrival.

At first, she hadn't connected the Red-haired Child with the "Son of the Mountain God."

But after seeing even a clumsy Human-faced Fish earnestly trying to convey goodwill to her, the pregnant woman suddenly reacted.

In the span of a hundred miles around, only the fabled "Son of the Mountain God" could have accomplished such a deed.

"I'll go with you, I trust the Son of the Mountain God."

Thinking of the borrowed high-quality rice seeds in the village, the pregnant woman stood up holding her belly.

"(Human-faced Fish language) Ah?"

Seeing this, although not understanding what just transpired.

The Human-faced Fish quickly called out to its nearby companions.

Faced with a pregnant woman nearly ten months along, the Human-faced Fish couldn't simply and roughly drag her away like the other villagers.

Thus, when the bustling Human-faced Fish brought the pregnant woman to the riverbank. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The Red Fish lurking in the stream middle noticed this sole conscious woman and emerged from the water, looking towards her.

"A pregnant woman?"

Unlike its gentle and docile nature before Li Boyang.

When the colossal form of the Red Fish surfaced, the pregnant woman was clearly startled.

Luckily, with previous groundwork laid, her acceptance was stronger now, and she bowed respectfully towards the Red Fish.

"Great Water God above, thank you for rescuing us!"

No matter if the Red Fish was truly a Water God or not, the pregnant woman treated it as such either way.

This is perhaps the little wisdom and cunning of the mountain people constantly dealing with Mountain Spirits and Monsters, allowing them to survive and establish roots in such places!

"No need to thank, it's not truly me who intends to save you."

In its mild voice lay a trace of inexplicable terror, and the Red Fish submerged back under the surface.

This remark was the Red Fish's genuine thought. It truly didn't care about any mountain people or humans.

Even the Seven-tailed Fox, who nearly drove it mad, wasn't something she wanted to pursue further, being attuned to the jungle's law of survival.

The reason the Red Fish appeared here was simply because Li Boyang wanted to save people, so she followed along.
