Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1744: Chapter 1062: Rallying the Ten Thousand Demons to Confront the Unpredictable Ghost Sect

Thousands of peaks hung with jade, the dome pure white, distant mountains floating within the clouds, where sky and earth meet, ten or so streaks of tunneling light shot over from afar, slipping through the forest, stirring snowflakes that fell gently from the branches.

The tunneling lights descended into the valley, where an elderly man with white hair and beard stood before a large tree, bowing and respectfully saying, "Xuan Ling of the Cloud Traveling White Crane, here to request an audience with the Demon Venerable!"

The tree stood laden with snow, its blue-black branches supporting a half-foot thick mantle of snowflakes, with occasional leaf tips hung with ice, like a curtain of shattered jade beads.

Beneath the tree canopy, a stunning woman appeared out of thin air, with the small, broken arcs of rainbow light among the ice curtains shadowing her brilliantly beautiful face.

Xuan Ling, seeing the woman, bowed once more and said, "Greetings, Fairy Jiang Xue!"

"Elder Xuan Ling, please!" Su Jiangxue raised her head, revealing a pair of eyes rippling like water waves, then casually waved a hand to show the door behind the tree leading to Qingyuan.

Xuan Ling nodded, didn’t say more, and quickly stepped through the Qingyuan door, while those of his same clan who came with him dispersed and began to stand guard around.

After entering the Qingyuan door, two Fox Demons immediately led Xuan Ling to the Amber Holy Tree.

The Clear Spirit Amber Holy Tree, with a trunk circumference of ten zhang, its bark like creamy jade wax, emitted an amber glow. The golden patterns curled around its body, resembling fox tails in motion, with splendid light pouring down, and the glow flowing between the patterns, the whole tree seemed soaked in molten gold.

Xuan Ling stared at the Holy Tree before him, momentarily puzzled, and looked questioningly at the two Fox Demons beside him.

He had seen the Holy Tree of the Qingyuan Fox Clan before, he was only puzzled as to why the two Fox Demons brought him here.

"Demon Venerable, Xuan Ling Demon King has been brought!" one Fox Demon said.

From the trunk of the Amber Holy Tree, which was emanating an amber glow, suddenly burst a brilliant surge of radiance, within which a fox was encapsulated.

The fox’s entire body was covered in short fur mixed of red gold and silver gray, its luster like creamy jade, the fur tips glinting with delicate golden rays, without any sign of impurities. Its three tails were fluffy as feathers, the tail roots deep golden, gradually transitioning to light pink at the tips.

Delicate pink fluff adorned the ear tips, standing tall with remarkable agility. Its amber eyes were embedded with gilded fine patterns, with the eye corners slightly raised, when it lifted its gaze, its eyes sparkled like starry fragments, a bewitching aura flowing from the depths of its eyes.

Xuan Ling looked at the Qingyuan Fox Venerable emerging from the Holy Tree, somewhat perplexed, not understanding why the Qingyuan Fox Venerable would appear from within the Holy Tree.

However, after sensing the aura of the Qingyuan Fox Venerable, he quickly bowed and said, "Xuan Ling pays respects to the Fox Venerable!"

"Hmm! What’s the matter?" The Qingyuan Fox Venerable lazily stretched its body, extending its paws to grip onto the amber-like tree bark, its head lifted, all three tails also stood up, swaying left and right a couple of times.

"The Unpredictable Ghost Sect has begun their actions, they’ve constructed many White Bone Pillars in the mountains, and dispatched a large number of Ghost Soldiers and Blood Puppets into the forests!" Xuan Ling said.

The Cloud Traveling White Crane Clan is a vassal of the Chi Huang Clan, as a Demon Bird, it’s natural to follow the royal family among demon birds, but the Cloud Traveling White Crane and the Qingyuan Fox Clan share a close relationship.

As for the relationship between the Chi Huang Clan and the Qingyuan Fox Clan, it is neither good nor bad, the Chi Huang Clan has its arrogance, and the Qingyuan Fox Clan has its forcefulness, though there are some conflicts of interest between the two clans, there’s not much enmity, their relations are quite close.

Therefore, this time the Qingyuan Fox Clan summoned Xuan Ling to help monitor the movements of the Unpredictable Ghost Sect.

"White Bone Pillars! It seems they intend to claim territory!"

The Qingyuan Fox Venerable casually swung its three tails, the main tail being the thickest, with a touch of ink at the tip, adorned with a few silvery spots like starlight, the two auxiliary tails being slightly shorter, with coral pink tips, and the fur along the tail underside more fluffy, hanging like two soft pom-poms.

The Fox Venerable is a Three-tailed Spirit Fox, hence it has three tails.

"Alas, why have they set their eyes on the Wanhua Mountain Range? Do they not know there is still a Wanhua Daoist Master in the Wanhua Mountain Range?" The Fox Venerable said with a hint of lament.

Truth be told, she really did not want to be enemies with the Unpredictable Ghost Sect, not because she feared them, but because she did not want to expend time and effort on this.

But now that the Unpredictable Ghost Sect has come knocking, she has no choice even if she is unwilling.

"The Wanhua Daoist Master has been missing for twenty thousand years after all, they probably think the Wanhua Daoist Master has long since perished!" Xuan Ling softly said.

The Qingyuan Fox Venerable stood up, with a flicker of light, she transformed from fox form into human form.

"Enough, no matter what they think, this battle is inevitable!"

"Give the order, gather the Ten Thousand Demons, prepare to battle the Unpredictable Ghost Sect!"

The enchanting voice carried a few tones of icy coldness, evidently, her patience with the Unpredictable Ghost Sect had run out.

With the command from the Qingyuan Fox Venerable, the originally quiet mountain forests suddenly became lively.

Countless demon beasts and Mutant Beasts revealed themselves from the deep mountains, in groups of threes and fives, or formed into armies, advancing northward from the depths of the mountain range.

Light flickered and glowed, with spiritual lights of various colors gathering, as the demon beasts and Mutant Beasts from various clans raced through the mountains.

"Roar!"

"Awoo~~"

The roars of beasts echoed one after another, resounding for thousands of miles.

If at this moment one were to overlook the forest below from the high skies, they would see a spectacle of ten thousand beasts galloping, streams of them sweeping over the snow-clad mountains, surging into the flying snow in the north.

And within the northern snow, large numbers of Ghost Soldiers and Blood Puppets were divided into numerous groups, constructing White Bone Pillars with eerie skeletal frames on the mountaintops, foothills, valleys, and ridges.

Each White Bone Pillar stood over thirty zhang, with those completed emitting a chilling Evil Qi.
