The three women were stunned. They had never expected such a thing to happen. This terrifying monster had actually been tormented so badly by Zu Anâs Primal Skysilk! Still, they were all strong cultivators, so they didnât hesitate. They all attacked the Nine Infants while it was weak.
The Nine Infants was alarmed and angry. Its nine heads roared furiously, but it was much weaker than before. It couldn't even win against them previously, so now, there was even less of a chance of being their match. It began looking worse for wear as its heads were blown apart one after another. Blood spilled from its wounds as its regeneration finally became unable to keep up.
When he saw that it was about to fall over, Zu An instantly moved next to it. He held the Poisonous Prick in hand and prepared to deliver the killing blow.
However, the moment he was about to thrust with the blade, a warning from âThe Bookâ suddenly appeared in his mind. Having already experienced it once with the warning he had received when the Fiend Emperor ambushed him, he didnât hesitate at all. He quickly changed his plans and instantly moved a few meters away.
At the same time, an ugly head suddenly appeared from the Nine Infantsâ belly. It was much smaller than the other nine heads, but it was much more sinister and ugly than the others. It shot out suddenly with lightning speed. It was incredibly sinister and almost impossible to avoid.
However, the Nine Infants had never expected Zu An to be able to dodge its attack as if he could see the future!
Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue both broke out into cold sweat. They hadnât expected the Nine Infants to be so treacherous and cunning! It had been hiding its strength and drawing them in to attack! Even with their cultivation, they might have suffered severe damage from such an attack. The situation might even have turned against them!
Sure enough, when the Nine Infants saw that its plan failed, its nine heads grew out again. With the sinister head in its belly revealed, it displayed a show of strength, as if telling them all to back off.
âIt looks as though the head in its belly is its real head,â Yu Yanluo quickly said. They were both snakes, so she had some natural sensitivity for such things.
The group immediately realized that as well. No wonder even though the nine heads had all been crushed at least once, they still hadnât been able to deliver a fatal blow. It turned out the real head was hiding in its stomach!
This could be a secret no one knew about. By the time anyone did find out, they would have already been caught in the ambush. It was thanks to Zu An reacting quickly that the Nine Infantsâ true head was exposed. With a new target in mind, the others began to attack that head.
The Nine Infants used the nine heads to frantically protect its belly. Unfortunately, the people it faced were too formidable. Zu Anâs party was getting better and better at working together, too. Soon afterward, Zu An found a chance to use his flame-covered pike, thrusting it toward the snakeâs weakness!
The ugly head was nailed to the monsterâs abdomen, then exploded under the pressure. The nine heads that had been flailing wildly soon slumped down, and the huge snakeâs body also came crashing to the ground.
âThe monster should be dead now, right?â Yu Yanluo wondered worriedly. After all, it had already tried to fool them once.
âItâs already dead. There are no more signs of life coming from its body,â Yun Jianyue said conclusively. There was naturally no mistake, since the answer was coming from someone of her cultivation.
The party finally sighed in relief. They were just about to say something when they noticed that the Nine Infantsâ corpse started to move.
Yun Jianyue jumped in fright. Am I really going to be slapped in the face right after I said that it was dead? This respected Devil Sect Master wonât have anywhere to hideâŚ
They quickly moved some distance away so the monster wouldnât be able to pull anything else on them. However, the Nine Infants didnât revive. Instead, its body began to dissolve. Its huge body gradually shrank until it became a chunk of flesh the size of a fist. The chunk began to wriggle as if it were alive.
Yan Xuehen said, âThe reason why the Nine Infants could regenerate so quickly might have been because of this chunk of flesh.â
Zu An picked it up. It wasnât alive, and yet it couldnât be called completely dead either. It did seem to contain some life force. He remarked, âIn that case, letâs each take a bite out of it. Even if we canât gain eternal life, it should help us recover a bit. Would you guys prefer it steamed or broiled? Or maybe barbecued?â
Yu Yanluo gave him a disgusted look, exclaiming, âYouâre so gross! I donât want any.â
Yan Xuehen also said coldly, âI do not want any either.â
âLike hell I want to become a monster like the Nine Infants,â Yun Jianyue said, furrowing her brows. âLittle An, donât blame me for not warning you ahead of time. If you end up becoming a demon after eating this, donât blame us for ignoring you.â
Zu An chuckled in embarrassment, saying, âDonât worry. My regeneration is pretty strong to begin with, so I donât need to eat this thing anyway.â
Still, he couldn't bear to just throw it away. He just felt that it had some unique medicinal property, or it could be something a valkyrie would need in the future or something. As such, he tossed it into the Brilliant Glass Bead.

After the Nine Infants was subdued, the ferocious, raging river also calmed down considerably. The party quickly crossed the water.
Yu Yanluo asked curiously, âWho are we up against next?â
âGrandgale!â Zu An replied, his expression a bit strange.
The reason for that was because the first ability he had learned from the Phoenix Nirvana Sura was none other than Grandgale. That instantaneous movement skill had bailed him out of countless situations. That was why, out of all of the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra skills, Grandgale was the most important to him.
And yet now, the one he had to face was also Grandgale! Even though he didnât know whether this Grandgale he had to fight had anything to do with the one attached to the Phoenix Nirvana Sutra, he still felt a huge weight on his mind.
Yun Jiangyue glanced toward Yan Xuehen, asking, âStone cold woman, do you still remember what Shun said about Grandgale earlier?â

Yan Xuehen was already used to the nickname, so she didnât even bother arguing about it. She said, âIt has the body of a dog with the face of a man; it snickers at humans who pass by and moves like the wind. When Grandgale appeared and wreaked havoc across the lands, Yi executed it over Bluefield Pond.â
Zu An suddenly realized something. This Grandgaleâs appearance didnât seem to match that of his own Grandgale at all.
However, Yun Jianyueâs attention was on something else. She exclaimed, âHm? Bluefield Pond? Does it have anything to do with Tushan Yu and those other women?â
Zu An trembled. He inadvertently recalled that lovely night with Tushan Yu. Right, I even wrapped her in the Primal Skysilk thenâŚÂ His gaze couldn't help but dart toward Yan Xuehenâs waist.
Yan Xuehenâs heart skipped a beat. This guy is getting more and more out of hand! What are we supposed to do if the others actually pick up on something?
Yu Yanluo didnât notice that the two of them were actually so shaken up. She thought out loud, âBluefield⌠Could it be that it really does have something to do with little sister Tushanâs Bluefield Country? Maybe itâs the country of the Fox race from ancient times?â
Their suspicions were quickly confirmed. When they continued, they saw all sorts of foxes in the wild. Those foxes didnât fear humans at all, and even stopped to size them up. It was extremely similar to their experience when they first entered Tushan Yuâs Bluefield Country.
As she looked at the foxes that stopped to look at her, Yun Jianyue remarked in puzzlement, âThe body of a dog with the face of a man, and it snickers at humans⌠Isnât that just describing these foxes?â
