Chapter 859 Teasing the Crying Child
The west wind swept through, scattering the clouds and leaves.
Jin Ting Da Xian broke free of the Immortal Locking Chains and escaped from Mount Tai. His white hair danced wildly in the wind, and a hint of ferocity flickered in his golden eyes.
He walked very fast, heading west for no more than a hundred miles, when he saw a boy in yellow robes lying on a cloud blocking his way. On the cloud was a black banner, the tail of which swayed in the wind.
Upon seeing the Golden Court Immortal, the boy in yellow immediately stood up, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "This little fox greets the Golden Court Immortal and has been waiting for you for a long time."
Jin Ting Da Xian lowered his eyelids slightly, concealing the fierce glint in his eyes, and asked, "How did you know I would pass by here?"
The boy in yellow laughed and said, "My master said that the Great Immortal Jinting is suspicious by nature and would not obediently head south. So he used his supernatural powers to divine that the Great Immortal would pass through here, which is why he asked me to wait here."
The Golden Court Immortal then asked, "Did your master say that you could stop me?"
The boy in yellow was not angry. He simply gripped the black banner standing on the cloud and said, "My master bestowed this black banner upon me. Even if it cannot stop the great immortal, it should at least save my life."
The Golden Court Immortal's gaze had already swept over the black banner. Embroidered with divine and demonic runes and exuding an aura of the netherworld, it was indeed a fine treasure.
The fierce light in Jin Ting Da Xian's eyes slowly faded, revealing a smile as he asked, "What else did your master say?"
The boy in yellow said, "My master also said that the Great Immortal is a living demon king and would not break his promise, but he just doesn't trust us. If the Great Immortal is wary, let me guide him and explain the situation before leaving. Don't make a scene in front of him. If the Great Immortal is magnanimous and doesn't hold a grudge, then let me stay by his side and serve him, cleaning and dealing with matters for him."
Jin Ting Da Xian laughed heartily and said, "Your master is indeed a member of the Hu family; his mind is more meticulous than a needle tip."
The boy in yellow frowned slightly when he saw him belittling his master, but he held back.
Jin Ting Da Xian stepped onto his cloud and reached out a claw, startling the yellow-robed boy. He hurriedly tried to activate the Xuan Banner to deal with it, but he was still a step too slow. Jin Ting Da Xian grabbed his collar, followed by a strong pulling sensation from the rapid flight.
Seeing that the Golden Court Immortal wasn't going to kill him, the yellow-robed boy didn't activate the gods and demons within the Xuan Banner. He simply tried to open his eyes wide to see the Golden Court Immortal's escape technique. But he couldn't see anything clearly, only fragmented sword light slicing through the air and breaking the wind, causing him to shed tears.
By the time he felt himself land, it was only a moment later. By then, they had already arrived outside Xiaqiu City.
The boy in yellow robes was pounding with fear. Looking at the tall figure of the Golden Court Immortal, he said, "You have been trapped in the Fox Cave for so long, yet you still possess such supernatural abilities."
Jin Ting Da Xian said, "It's just a little bit of Netherworld evil energy, what can it do to me? If it weren't for the Immortal-Locking Chains binding my spirit, I would have already left the Hidden Fox Cave."
He glanced at the boy in yellow and said, "Boy, you rescued me and asked me to stop Gong Mingfu from achieving enlightenment, so you should at least give me a heads-up."
The boy in yellow hesitated.
Jin Ting Da Xian sneered, lifted his foot and walked towards Xiaqiu City, saying, "The fact that the Hu family sent you here means that there's nothing you can't say. Otherwise, you think you can stop me with just a Demon God Banner? I'll kill you and search your soul, and I'll know everything."
The boy in yellow quickly put the black banner into his sleeve and followed him into the city. "That's not necessarily true. It depends on what you want to know, Great Immortal. I will tell you everything I know."
Jin Ting Da Xian was in no hurry to ask, and said, "Go find me a quiet place to cultivate myself, and let me get rid of the bad luck first."
The boy in yellow robes walked up to the Great Immortal Jinting and said, "Great Immortal, please follow me."
The young boy led the way, unable to contain his curiosity, and asked, "How did you know I was from the Hu family, Master?"
Jin Ting Da Xian said, “You released me, so you must know my background. Although I don’t know everything about the Heavenly Fox Academy, I do know about your Hu family’s jurisdiction over the Sinful Foxes. Besides your Hu family, who else has the ability to steal from their own family?”
The boy wrinkled his nose unhappily: "Great Immortal, we saved you, so why are you speaking so disparagingly to us?"
Jin Ting Da Xian sneered, "You saved me because you needed me to deal with Gong Mingfu. Now I am an honored guest. After I deal with Gong Mingfu, I will be a wanted criminal by the Heavenly Fox Academy. If I cannot surrender to your Hu family, I will face endless pursuit by the Heavenly Fox Academy. Isn't that right?"
The boy's back was soaked with sweat in an instant. He didn't know what was going to happen next, but after the Golden Immortal revealed it, he suddenly understood—this was indeed the Hu family's style of doing things, or more accurately, the style of doing things for most of the four great families.
"Is the great immortal still willing to help us deal with Gong Mingfu?"
"Firstly, I have a grudge against Gong Mingfu, and we'll help each other in this matter. Secondly, I keep my promises, and I will fulfill them. Thirdly, I'm not afraid of being hunted down by the Heavenly Fox Academy. I'm here to tell you not to go too far." The Golden Immortal's golden eyes always revealed no emotion, only a chilling ferocity.
The boy was silent for a moment, then said, "Since we are cooperating with the Great Immortal, I will not hide it from you. Gong Mingfu has now been promoted to the sixth-rank Demon Examiner of the Heavenly Palace. He asked the Great Immortal to take action so that he could ruin the Demon Examiner he is presiding over."
"A sixth-rank Demon Examiner?" Jin Ting Daxian was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, his laughter full of sarcasm: "Gong Mingfu even arrested me, and he only managed to be promoted to a sixth-rank Demon Examiner."
"As expected of a powerful family, it's laughable." Jin Ting Da Xian's disdain was evident in his words.
“He comes from a wild fox family, what kind of immortal talent does he have? How can his shortcomings be easily filled just because of his cultivation level? And what shortcomings could possibly be filled for him?” the boy argued urgently.
"What's your hurry? You're just a servant boy sent to your death, and you're getting anxious for your high and mighty master."
The boy's face flushed red, and he walked forward quickly without saying a word, as if he wanted to shake off the Golden Court Immortal.
The Great Immortal Jin Ting followed behind him, still relentlessly pursuing the matter: "Someone like you is either a servant born into the household or an abandoned child of a collateral branch. Even if you have achieved something in your cultivation and served your master so well that he ascended to the Heavenly Palace, what kind of accomplishments could you possibly have?"
"Can we treat you as a clan elder and enshrine you, or can we let you control the clan's livelihood? We can't just take you to the Heavenly Palace to continue serving as a servant, can we? Maybe we can erect a monument and write a biography for you, respectfully calling you the Slave Ancestor, and use your deeds to inspire other slaves, so that everyone can learn from you!"
"Stop talking!" the child screamed, covering his ears.
The Great Immortal Jin Ting was extremely wicked; his voice was terrifyingly loud, and even if you covered your ears, it would still echo in your head: "Old Ancestor Slave, if you keep shouting, you'll frighten the mortals around us."
The child burst into tears and rushed over to hit him.
"Don't shout! Don't shout!"
