Chapter 205 The Styx Ancestor Has a Daughter?
Upon hearing the woman's question, Yang Jian's face immediately showed a hint of embarrassment, and he explained:
"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but some time ago, people from the Heavenly Court came here to cause trouble, but I sent them away."
"When I heard you mention the Heavenly Laws earlier, I thought... that the Heavenly Court was still unwilling to give up and had sent people to suppress us again."
"Therefore, my actions were truly reckless; please forgive me, fellow Daoist!"
Upon hearing this, the woman said with a hint of doubt:
"really?"
Before Yang Jian could reply, a voice suddenly came:
"It's true, Immortal!"
Upon hearing this, both Yang Jian and the woman were surprised and turned to look in the direction of the voice.
Upon closer inspection, a small whirlwind approached from afar, revealing a figure.
Who else could it be but the local deity of Guanjiang Estuary?
Upon appearing, the Earth God immediately bowed to the woman and said:
"I am the local deity, and I can testify to that!"
"A few days ago, a celestial general did indeed come by, and... Second Master... invited him away!"
"Master Yang must have mistaken the immortal for someone from the Heavenly Court."
Upon hearing what the Earth God said, Yang Jian's expression immediately turned strange, and he was filled with doubt:
"What's going on with this old man from the local area?"
"Why are you even speaking up for me now?"
It should be noted that he had previously opened the Erlang Temple at the mouth of the Guanjiang River to collect the incense offerings and prayers of the local people, which naturally angered the local land deity.
After being swatted away by the Howling Celestial Dog's paw, the Earth God even threatened that Yang Jian would pay the price.
Soon after, the Earth God returned with the Giant Spirit God.
When the giant spirit saw that it was Yang Jian, he was so frightened that he retreated.
Since then, neither the Earth God nor anyone from the Heavenly Court has been seen.
In Yang Jian's view, once the Heavenly Court learns of what has happened here, it will surely send someone to suppress him.
It is precisely because of this conjecture.
Just now, when the woman in red was questioning him, he mistook her for someone from the Heavenly Court.
But now, this local deity has suddenly appeared and spoken up for me, which is quite unusual!
Just as Yang Jian was stunned, the woman in red relaxed her brows.
Seeing that Yang Jian's explanation was extremely sincere, and with the corroboration of the local earth god, they believed what Yang Jian said.
Then, with a gentle wave of her hand, the woman put away the blood-red longsword that exuded a murderous aura.
At the same time, the suspicion of murder surrounding him also dissipated.
Upon seeing this, Yang Jian had a sudden thought and put away his three-pointed double-edged sword.
Then, he bowed slightly to the woman in red and apologized again:
"Fellow Daoist."
"It was just a misunderstanding, fellow Daoist, please forgive me!"
The woman in red nodded slightly, saying nothing, but she was puzzled.
Judging from his appearance, Yang Jian clearly has a grudge against the Heavenly Court.
The fact that they set up temples and monasteries here to collect incense offerings and prayers from the people would surely be intolerable to the Heavenly Court.
This can be seen from the fact that Yang Jian took her as someone from Heaven and immediately chose to attack.
However, what the woman in red couldn't understand was...
Since Yang Jian has a grudge against the Heavenly Court, why would the local earth god speak up for her?
After all, although this land deity is of lowly status, he is still a righteous god appointed by the Heavenly Court.
"Has he conquered this land?"
Suddenly, a thought popped into the woman's mind.
Just as the woman was lost in thought, Yang Jian smiled slightly and asked with a curious expression:
"Fellow Daoist."
"What is your connection with the Netherworld Blood Sea?"
Just now, Yang Jian had intended to continue his magical duel with the woman.
But after the woman unleashed that blood-red longsword, Soaring Eagle recognized it at a glance as belonging to the Styx Ancestor.
Therefore, it is concluded that the woman was not from the Heavenly Court, but came from the Netherworld Blood Sea.
Upon hearing Yang Jian's question, the woman snapped out of her reverie and, without hiding anything, answered directly:
"My name is Mingfeng, and I am the daughter of the Styx Ancestor."
The woman spoke with complete composure.
As soon as she said this, Yang Jian was immediately shocked.
"What?"
"The daughter of... the Styx Ancestor?"
Yang Jian muttered in astonishment, his face full of disbelief.
Although she knew that the woman was related to the Netherworld Blood Sea lineage.
But no one expected that the woman would be the daughter of the Styx Ancestor!
Meanwhile, the Skyhawk and the Howling Celestial Dog, who were standing nearby, were also shocked.
After all, the Styx Ancestor was quite famous in the prehistoric world.
It is said that the sea of blood will never dry up and the River Styx will never die!
Even a saint-level expert wouldn't dare to dry up the sea of blood.
Because they cannot acknowledge such a massive cause and effect.
Now, we know that the woman was the daughter of the Styx Ancestor, which is an earth-shattering secret!
The Primordial Heavenly Emperor, as everyone knows, created the Asura race from the Sea of Blood by the Styx Ancestor. They possess great supernatural powers and are decisive in killing.
But I've never heard of him having a daughter!
"The daughter of the Styx?"
Upon hearing this, the Earth God was completely stunned, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Unexpectedly, the woman who became acquainted with Yang Jian at the mouth of the Guanjiang River was actually of such great importance!
Just then, Soaring Eagle was the first to recover from the shock and muttered softly:
"strangeness."
"I've never heard of the Styx Ancestor having a Daoist partner?"
"How come you have a daughter?"
The Skyhawk's voice wasn't loud, but it was still heard by the Dark Phoenix.
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian, Xiaotianquan, and the Earth God were all taken aback.
Just as Skyhawk wondered, they had never heard of Styx Ancestor having any Daoist partner.
Mingfeng remained calm, glanced at Yang Jian, and explained:
"I am not of ordinary blood from the Father God."
"Long ago, when Father God was cultivating, a drop of his primordial blood accidentally fell into the depths of the Blood Sea, where it combined with the Blood Sea's origin and a wisp of innate Netherworld evil energy."
"It took countless years to take shape."
"Therefore, although I am not an ordinary offspring of the Father God, I bear his purest bloodline."
After Mingfeng's explanation, Yang Jian and the others finally understood.
After a moment of silence, Yang Jian spoke:
"I see, my apologies!"
"Fellow Daoist Mingfeng, this is not the place to talk. If you don't mind, would you please come into the temple for a chat?"
As he spoke, Yang Jian glanced down at Erlang Shen.
After learning that the Nether Phoenix was the daughter of the Styx Ancestor, Yang Jian became much more polite.
No matter what, the Styx Ancestor was a top-tier powerhouse in the prehistoric world, with an extremely revered status. As his daughter, Mingfeng's identity was naturally extraordinary.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Mingfeng didn't rush to reply, but instead looked up and sized up Yang Jian.
Considering that Yang Jian was a grand-disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun and a highly accomplished disciple of Yuding Zhenren, his status was quite noble. Therefore, it wouldn't be an insult for him to be associated with the Jie Sect.
Moreover, his previous battle with Yang Jian had earned Ming Feng's great admiration.
Although Yang Jian was only at the late stage of Golden Immortal realm, he was inferior to her, who was a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
But their true strength should not be underestimated.
If she didn't rely on her father's blood sword, she really wouldn't be a match for Yang Jian.
After a moment's thought, Mingfeng nodded and murmured an "Mmm":
"Very well, then I'll have to trouble you, fellow Daoist."
