ip between master and disciple is highly valued. Once one enters a master's sect, it is not simply a nominal relationship of superiority and inferiority within the sect.Before becoming a disciple, I l...Qin Sang followed behind the crowd of ghosts and spirits.
This is a seldom-traveled mountain path, with weeds in the mountains as tall as a person.
It is said that if you follow this mountain path, you can reach Ze Yang Prefecture to the east. But besides daring merchants who take a shortcut and martial arts practitioners, few people dare to travel this road. As a result, it has become increasingly desolate over time.
The sound of the Owl's Call was like a ghostly wail.
There was indeed a group of 'ghosts' silently trekking along the mountain path.
The rugged mountain path had no effect on them. A group of ghosts and spirits successively climbed over several mountains, suddenly veered off the mountain path, and followed the valley into the depths of the mountains.
Deep in the mountains, the mist was thick.
After walking for a while, a small path paved with bluestones appeared ahead.
The path winds and climbs, disappearing into the woods.
After turning a corner, the ghosts and gods did not continue forward, but instead converged their energy and quietly moved towards a mountain wall.
Gao Ru Xu raised his hand and performed a magic gesture.
The mountain wall surged, like silk undulating, transforming into a square human face. Its eyes rolled once, catching sight of the throng of ghosts and spirits, then vanished back into the stone. The mountain wall silently opened a fissure where the face had been.
Gao Ru Xu led his men, entering the mountain wall.
"Greetings, City God!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Within the mountain wall, as if hollowed out, there was a sizable space crammed with ghosts and spirits who bowed to someone high above.
Leading the way were two people, a man and a woman.
The man wore black armor, appearing mighty and imposing. The woman donned a white robe and skirt, her expression just as serious. They were Wu Pan and Wen Pan, the martial and literary judges under Gao Ruoxu's command. In the City God Temple, their status only ranked below that of the City God.
What about those demons on the mountain
Gao Ru Xu's voice was low and soft as he asked,
"After investigating, it was a group of fox demons. Their cultivation levels were not low. The Taoists in Yubo Guan were probably all slaughtered by this group of demonic beasts. Such evil deeds must be punished," Wu判官 said angrily.
The judge calmly stated, "This afternoon, two martial artists passed by here and were taken into the Taoist temple by a fox demon. To avoid alarming the snake, we did not intervene."
Gao Ruoxu nodded, "According to their past behavior, they must know that we are most concerned about mortals. They should only draw some Yang Qi from those two mortals and let them go. They won't kill them. I'm just afraid the Taoist priests in Guan Zhong are already in grave danger!"
In this realm, Shinto and Xian Dao coexist.
As long as Xian Dao cultivators do not harm the common people, and practice demonic arts or perform blood sacrifices in secret within the mountains, even ghosts and spirits will not seek them out.
On the mountain and in the valley, it's like yin and yang separated. Unless they have a personal relationship, the two sides generally don't interfere with each other.
The Taoist on this mountain was also like that, practicing in seclusion all year round. Only the abbot would occasionally visit Gao Ruoxu.
At some point, the Daoist temple was occupied by a group of fox demons. All the Daoists disappeared without a trace.
The Jade Cypress Observatory was far removed from the mundane world, and this group of fox spirits hid very well. The ghosts and gods of Beikuo County initially did not notice them.
Here is the translated text:

But some impatient little demons went down the mountain to plunder mortals, using their magical powers to seduce them and absorb their yang energy for cultivation.
Though those mortals could save their lives, they inevitably became listless and dazed. With so many such people around, the Netherworld officials would eventually notice and start a covert investigation.
Upon checking, Gao Ruoxu was also taken aback. Many wandering cultivators around Beiku County had mysteriously disappeared. Most of them were those who diligently cultivated in seclusion and had few friends. It was clearly a deliberate selection of targets.
All clues point to Yu Bai Guan.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even though the missing people were cultivators, Gao Ruoxu couldn't just ignore such a tragedy happening under his nose.
"Is the Ju Xian Formation set up"
Gao Ru Xu looked at the Wen Bian Guan.
>
The 文判官 (Wen Bian Guan) should be, and said again: “According to the previous guidance of the adults, we have investigated and found that these fox demons are still using the large formation from before the Jade Pine Temple. There is not much damage inside the temple. The Taoists of the Jade Pine Temple probably were careless and allowed demonic creatures to infiltrate, breaking through from within. The strength of this group of fox demons should not be as strong as expected.”
“But we can’t underestimate him either. Master Jade-Cypress of the Guan Temple is a late Foundation Establishment expert, with several powerful spells at his disposal. He even got taken over by demons in his own temple,” Gao Ruo虛 shook his head, flicking his sleeves and sending out a silver spirit talisman. “I personally inscribed a mountain-suppressing charm. We must strike decisively and capture all these demonic beasts! As soon as the fox demon delivers those two people to the Guan Temple, act immediately!”
"Yes, sir!"
The civil and military judges bowed, each pointing out half of the yin messengers. Their figures plummeted downwards, disappearing into the ground.
He waited until dawn.
Suddenly, several white figures ran down the mountain.
Upon closer inspection, there were three snow-white little foxes frolicking on the stone path. They would hop and skip, sometimes chasing each other into the grass and playing playfully, making cheerful chirping sounds.
These three adorable-looking foxes have a cloud of white mist floating above their heads. Inside the mist, there are two black-clad people unconscious.
Both of them were physically strong, with swords at their waists. They clearly had martial arts skills, but they allowed the little fox to play around with them.
Their eye sockets were deep, their complexion poor, yet their faces were immersed in smiles, as if lost in a sweet dream or reminiscing about something.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Three little foxes led them to a mountain path, away from Yubao Guan. They found a patch of weeds and left the two unconscious people there.
After being subjected to sorcery, the two awoke with no memory of anything.
On the way back, suddenly a gust of cold wind swept up three little foxes.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Chirp!"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Chirp!
The little fox cried out, wanting to struggle, but was tightly bound by the ghostly wind. Its cries couldn't pierce through the wind and it was instantly swept away.
At this moment, Gao Ruoxu returned to the bluestone path, with only a group of mountain gods and land deities by his side.
Not far ahead, the stone path suddenly came to an end, and practitioners could see a small Taoist temple at the end.
The Taoist temple is hidden in the mountains and forests, very secluded. It should be a place of pure tranquility outside the world.
Gao Ru Xu swept her left and right, then said, "Mist!"
All lands obeyed and responded.
They basically each hold a walking stick, the top of which is carved with a dragon head, symbolizing the might of the land god. Some call it the Land God's Staff, while others call it the Earth-Taming Pole.
The land gods raised their staffs and shook them toward the mountain below. Mist gathered and surged forward, thickening until it enveloped the mountaintop, forming a wall of fog.
This place is far from civilization. With a little trickery, we can block the sights of the duels taking place elsewhere.
As the mist rose, Gao Ruoxu delicately picked up the silver talisman and tossed it upward, while letting out a low growl.
“Move the mountain!”
The mountain god agreed and melted into the ground, disappearing one by one.
The next moment, a great earthquake occurred. The surrounding mountains trembled, and one peak shook violently, with rocks rolling down.
‘Click!’
It came as a thunderbolt out of the blue, that mountain actually grew a hundred zhang taller!
Upon closer inspection, it's not that the peaks are tall, but rather the entire mountain rises from the earth. Its base is fractured and was lifted up by the mountain god's magic!
'Whoosh!'
Gao Ru Xu pinched a magic seal, the silver talisman disappearing into the mountain. The surface of the mountain seemed to be plated with silver, heavy and oppressive!
Inside the Yu-bai Pavilion.
The quiet room, originally belonging to a Taoist priest, was now occupied by a group of fox spirits. At this moment, they were startled by the strange occurrences outside the mountain.
'Bang! Bang! Bang!'
A number of white shadows burst out the gate, over thirty demon foxes, all white foxes.
Hushed whispers turned into panicked screams as they echoed through the halls.
Within the Taoist temple, some white foxes stood upright, while others still couldn't shake off their animal nature.
All the fox spirits stared blankly at the sky above the Taoist temple, along with the temple itself, shrouded in a massive shadow.
It was a mountain, heading straight down at them!
Chirp!
The fox demons felt a palpable fear, even the old foxes looked panicked.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
Gao Ruoxu's eyes flashed like lightning, and when he saw the fox demon in Yubei Guan, he snorted coldly: "At most, it's just a late-stage demon spirit. Dare to cause trouble under my jurisdiction as the City God!"
With the strength of the ghosts from Beiku County, it would be easy to deal with these fox demons. The fear was that there might still be survivors in the Taoist temple. Desperate, the fox demons went berserk and carried out a massacre, so they directly used the divine power of moving mountains to break the formation and capture the fox demons!
‘Whew!’
The silver mountain crashed through the sky, smashing down onto the peak where the Taoist temple stood.
The fierce wind snapped the trees on the mountain, and with the mountains crashing together, it was bound to be earth-shattering. This group of fox demons were probably going to be buried.
By the time they realized the crisis was upon them, it was too late. All they could see was the bottom of the silver mountain, its base fractured and crumbling.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Seeing the silver mountain about to fall, the fox demon was terrified. In the midst of panic, it could only desperately urge the Yu Bo Guan formation to move.
Only to see the Jade Cypress shoot out a beam of azure light, transforming into a verdant cypress in mid-air.
The cypress trees were lush and verdant, their massive canopies enveloping the entire Taoist temple. Their branches swayed gently, casting dappled shades of green.
Boom!
Before the juniper had fully emerged, the silver mountain crashed down.
In an instant, the cypress tree burst forth with a dazzling emerald light. Broken branches and leaves rained down like autumn showers. Unable to withstand the weight of the silver mountain, it creaked and groaned, its trunk riddled with cracks.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
'Click!'
Finally, before the frightened gaze of the fox demon, the emerald cypress shattered with a sound, scattering its green light.
The fox demon was not the master of the Daoist temple, and knew little about the temple's formations. In his haste, he activated it but was struck down by Yinshan with a single blow!
Gao Ru Xu had anticipated this long ago, with a flick of his finger, the silver mountain shattered the formation, leaving it suspended in mid-air.
The terrified fox demon had no intention of fighting and fled in all directions, scrambling for an escape route.
Before they could escape the temple walls, billowing black mist and ghostly winds erupted from all directions, surging into the Taoist temple.

'Whew! Whew!'
Here's the translation:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A creepy yin wind, a black mist that obscures the five fingers of one's hand, permeated the Taoist temple.
Not only could it obstruct vision, but the fox spirits' spiritual senses were also affected. Lesser-skilled fox spirits would even faint on the spot.
Screams of panic rose and fell.
"Whoosh!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Suddenly, a black chain shot out from the darkness, heading straight for the dazed demon fox.
The kitsune offered no resistance, being bound by chains and dragged into the depths of the black mist, disappearing without a sound.
Gao RuXu stepped into the Taoist temple, his gaze swiftly scanning each quiet room, searching for a way out.
The land deities, without waiting for the City God's orders, sprang into action. They tapped the ground with their staffs, and green light rose from beneath the fox demon. Several vines sprouted, binding it tightly.
In the blink of an eye, only a few of the highest-cultivation fox demons were left struggling.
The Wenwu Judges, leading the yin soldiers, appeared and rushed towards the several demonic foxes. The battle formation changed continuously, easily splitting and defeating the demonic foxes.
Even with its potent demonic arts, the fox demon gradually found itself losing ground against the onslaught of countless ghosts and spirits. After all, their greatest skill lay in seduction and enchantment, not combat. They were given no opportunity to use it now.
One after another, the demon foxes were captured without even needing Gao Ruoxu to make a move.
Gao Ru Xu secretly guarded against the possibility of a powerful demon lurking in the shadows, but in the end, nothing unexpected happened.
He noticed a quiet room and darted past it, raising his hand to break the demonic barrier on the door and pushing it open.
Only a dozen or so cultivators were seen inside, some standing and some sitting. They were all familiar faces.
And these are not the only missing cultivators during this time. Jade Cypress Temple is left with only two Taoists, while the rest, including the headmaster, have disappeared!
These people were not in good shape either. They were all confined with suppressed cultivation, each face pale and their vitality greatly depleted.
Gao Ru Xu waved his hand, breaking the demonic arts from their bodies. Immediately, two of them fell limp to the ground.
“Fellow cultivators…”
“Master... they were all drained of their essence by that group of fox demons. City God must take action for us, kill those fox demons and avenge Master and Grandmaster!”
The only remaining Taoist at Yùbǎi Guan is crying and wailing.
Gao Ru Xu sighed and returned to the Guan. She saw that all the fox demons had been apprehended, shackled, and none had escaped.
He scanned the Taoist temple, feeling something was amiss. Pointing to the oldest fox demon, he said, "Bring it up here!"
Just as a multitude of ghosts and demons appeared, preparing to break the Taoist temple's grand formation.

In the innermost quiet room of Jade Cypress Temple, originally the place where the temple master practiced meditation, a young boy sat in cross-legged posture.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The young man had rosy lips and white teeth, his appearance was extremely good. He was a handsome young man with an elegant demeanor, yet he possessed the cultivation of the middle stage of the Golden Core.
He closed his eyes, meditating silently. Suddenly, he felt something, opened his eyes, and furrowed his brow.
"Here they come so quickly! Humph! I knew this pack of vixens couldn't hold back. They must have harassed mortals while I was in seclusion, revealing themselves. The County City God of Beiku has some skill, but he could only leave these foxes behind! It's a pity that my injuries haven't fully healed, and without the help of a fox demon to replenish my yang energy, things are going to be troublesome..."
The young boy shook his head, coughed to cover it, and took out a small wooden figurine.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
A drop of blood entered, the little man exploded with blood light, shrouding the young man.
The youth gradually faded, becoming a bloody shadow before finally disappearing completely.
In another mountain nearby, a small tree suddenly withered, revealing the figure of a young man. He quietly slipped away from its encirclement without even Gao Ruoxu noticing.
The young man then took out another talisman. The surface of the talisman emitted faint sparks of electricity and rainbows.
With a clap of his hand, he transformed into a faint rainbow light and darted into the morning mist, faster than lightning.
Even if Gao Ru Xu Wen found out, he might not be able to catch up.
>
At this moment, Qin Sang stood atop a mountain peak, taking in the entire scene before him.
>
The young man's cultivation was a level higher than Xu, he surprisingly left the group of foxes and fled without fighting, which surprised him.
What surprised him even more was the spirit talisman used by the young man!
Qin Sang raised his hand and grasped at empty air.
The young man was using a spirit talisman to fly when suddenly he felt a tightening all over his body, a dizzying sensation, and he crashed to the ground. He looked up to see a Taoist standing before him.
He also realized his mistake, turned over and knelt down, kowtowing repeatedly, “Senior, please spare my life! Senior, please spare my life!”
“Where did you learn this Hóngní Chūmò Fù” Qin Sang asked.
The Rainbow Spell, as it is recorded in the Five Thunder Temple's seals, is a type of thunder talisman!
“Rainbow...Senior's talking about this Rainbow Electric Talisman”
The young man trembled with fear, unable to hide it. "This junior was originally from the Jigu Kingdom. After the powerful Lei Xiao Sect of Jigu Kingdom split into five factions, the scriptures were scattered throughout the land. Many cultivators surrounding Jigu Kingdom learned the art of thunder magic. This talisman's technique...this junior traded it for it using a family heirloom scripture from the Wu Hui Men..." that under her delicate appearance, there is a resilient heart. Otherwise, she wouldn't have endured hardships and still yearned for beauty.Qin Sang decided to follow the original plan and teach her...
