Chapter 3408: Chapter 3408: Unexpected Joy (Second Update)

In the next moment, Nine Nether Tiger seemed to lose all support, its lips turned pale, and it staggered back repeatedly, unable to stand steadily, almost falling to the ground. It barely managed to hold itself up with the Human Emperor’s Pen, but its white hair was disheveled, and its face appeared utterly desolate.

A martial arts master cultivates the heart.

If the heart is incomplete, it becomes an inner demon.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Strands of pitch-black demonic energy continuously emerged from its body.

On its skin, strands of fur emanating a ghostly aura grew, and its once disoriented eyes gradually turned fierce, its eyes bulging, and two sharp tiger fangs emerged from its lips, making its appearance extremely ferocious, almost revealing its true form.

Xiao Bai was utterly bewildered; her bloodline memory had not recovered, so she had no idea about her relationship with Nine Nether Tiger. Moreover, she was inherently the Little Star Spirit of the Reincarnation Star Stone, having only possessed the body of the Taiyin Jade Rabbit. Even if her bloodline fully awakened, she could not possibly acknowledge Nine Nether Tiger as her master.

"Not good, Master is about to enter a demonized state!"

The You Ying Ghost Weasel exclaimed.

Ye Chen felt his scalp tingle and sensed extreme danger. Once Nine Nether Tiger entered a demonized state, it would likely become a machine of slaughter, killing at sight and losing all sanity.

At that point, it would be too troublesome for him.

"Master Nine Nether Tiger, what are you doing?"

Beside him, Chen Xuanyu was also utterly astonished, completely unaware of what was happening.

"Xiao Bai, he is your Master, Nine Nether Tiger! Quickly kneel and bow, call him!"

Ye Chen glared at Xiao Bai and shouted sternly.

This was the only way to solve the problem!

To untie the bell, one must know the bell-ringer!

Once Nine Nether Tiger entered a demonized state, the consequences would be unimaginable. At this critical moment, it was essential to stabilize the situation quickly.

"Alright."

Xiao Bai, bright and clever, though unaware of the specific karma, thought listening to Brother Ye Chen could never be wrong. She promptly knelt down, bowed towards Nine Nether Tiger, and in a childish voice said:

"Master, hello."

Nine Nether Tiger, upon hearing the word "Master," was instantly rejuvenated, the demonic energy retreating completely, joyfully asking, "What did you call me?"

Xiao Bai replied, "Master, I called you Master."

She turned her head to look at Ye Chen and softly asked, "Brother Ye Chen, did I call it right?"

"Yes." Ye Chen chuckled silently and nodded.

"Yu’er, good, very good! Through the vicissitudes of life, our master-disciple duo is finally reunited!"

Nine Nether Tiger, overjoyed, walked towards Xiao Bai, wanting to touch her face, but its hand trembled so much it couldn’t reach out, fearing that all beautiful visions would vanish into thin air with a touch.

"Master Nine Nether Tiger, what are you doing, Ye Chen, this brat is my Heavenly Dao Palace’s archenemy, how did you end up by his side? Come back quickly!"

Chen Xuanyu was utterly shocked witnessing this scene.

Currently, Nine Nether Tiger’s identity was Xuanyuan Moxie’s Pet Beast. Xuanyuan Moxie even bestowed the Qingtian Human Emperor Pen to cultivate it. Now, before acquiring the Ancient Battle Soul, Nine Nether Tiger had "betrayed," causing such a massive loss that Heavenly Dao Palace could not tolerate it.

Upon returning, Chen Xuanyu had no way to account to Xuanyuan Moxie.

"Master, he’s a bad guy, quickly kill him!"

Xiao Bai, intelligent and astute, knew Chen Xuanyu belonged to the Heavenly Dao Palace, a massive enemy. Keeping him alive would surely lead to disaster, so she immediately pointed, instructing Nine Nether Tiger to execute him.

"Alright, Yu’er, behave. I’ll deal with the bad guy for you and protect you completely."

Nine Nether Tiger, invigorated, with a fierce gaze, lifted the Human Emperor’s Pen, making a bold stroke directly at Chen Xuanyu.

"Nine Nether Tiger, do you dare to betray?"

Chen Xuanyu was aghast, not expecting Nine Nether Tiger to swiftly switch sides to Ye Chen.

"What betrayal, your Heavenly Dao Palace used underhanded means to confuse my master and even caused my junior brother’s death. I haven’t even settled accounts with you yet."

The You Ying Ghost Weasel was furious, drawing its battle blade and following Nine Nether Tiger to strike fiercely at Chen Xuanyu.

Under the master-disciple onslaught, Chen Xuanyu’s aura momentarily stalled. Though possessing the power of the Holy Ancestor Realm Second Layer Heaven, making him a formidable figure, Nine Nether Tiger was a middle-stage expert in the Holy Ancestor Realm. He was utterly no match, especially with the Human Emperor’s Pen’s sharpness, completely outmatched.

In the crisis, Chen Xuanyu swung his battle axe, countering the You Ying Ghost Weasel’s blade, yet unable to face Nine Nether Tiger’s pen tip directly, hastily retreating in withdrawal.

Sizzle!

Nine Nether Tiger’s pen tip, swift and fierce, slashed ruthlessly, carving a ghastly wound upon Chen Xuanyu’s body, blood oozing.

Chen Xuanyu only felt excruciating pain as if being torn asunder, his spirit swaying repeatedly.

The edge of the Human Emperor’s Pen was too sharp; in three moves, Nine Nether Tiger could surely kill him.

"Retreat!"

Chen Xuanyu frantically turned to flee, casting a vicious glare back at Ye Chen, saying, "Ye Chen, you dare to lure my Heavenly Dao Palace people. One day, when the palace master recovers, you’ll be torn apart!"

With that, he flew swiftly, not daring to linger for a second.

Nine Nether Tiger wanted to pursue but was short of breath in the chest and abdomen, "Pfft," spitting blood, its old face pale.

Originally, it had become emotionally excited, almost entering a demonized state. Now, striking abruptly triggered the internal energy flow, causing slight backlash, resulting in internal injuries.

"Master, are you alright?"

Xiao Bai ran up, her tone filled with concern.

Although unaware of Nine Nether Tiger’s identity, her benevolent nature caused worry seeing others injured.

"I’m fine, Yu’er, I’m alright."

Nine Nether Tiger reassured with a smile, closing its eyes but fainted instantly.

"It’s injured and needs a few days of recuperation."

Ye Chen understood the situation with one glance and immediately took out the Ancient Box, placing Nine Nether Tiger inside.

This Ancient Box was the one used for sealing in the past, containing a special space that Nine Nether Tiger was accustomed to before. Now, letting it return was akin to returning home, greatly beneficial for its recovery.

"Oh, Brother Ye Chen, who is this old man?"

Xiao Bai blinked her eyes, curiously asked.

"He’s truly your Master. When your bloodline memory recovers in the future, you’ll naturally understand."

Ye Chen rubbed her little head, smiling helplessly.

"Really?"

Xiao Bai still appeared puzzled.

Ye Chen stored the Ancient Box, heaved a sigh of relief. Xiao Bai indeed carried significant karma, having her here played an important role.

If not for Xiao Bai, he could not have subdued Nine Nether Tiger again, obtaining immense assistance out of thin air.

The master-disciple bond between Nine Nether Tiger and the Ancient Ten Evils greatly moved Ye Chen.

In the unseen world, he seemed to realize something.

All things in heaven and earth have spirits.

Even the Ancient Great Calamity and Heavenly Demons might possess a benevolent side.

However, the evil acts and sins of Ancient Great Calamities and demons were too deep, a bit of benevolence couldn’t shake the foundation.

Now, the Taiyin Jade Rabbit had been possessed by Xiao Bai, and Nine Nether Tiger’s disciples were nearly annihilated, this was the retribution of karma, the cycles of Heavenly Principle.

Vaguely, Ye Chen seemed to touch upon the mysteries of the Reincarnation Dao.
