Chapter 98

Wanshou Mountain, Wu Zhuang Temple.

After Tang Sen and his companions left, Qingfeng and Mingyue hurriedly took out brooms and rags to clean the guest room they had stayed in. Their master was a clean person, and any room that guests had stayed in needed to be thoroughly cleaned to avoid leaving any unclean things behind. This way, the next time guests came, they could be properly accommodated.

The two girls were busy for a while, and by noon, they saw auspicious clouds rolling in the sky. A female Taoist priest descended slowly with many Taoist masters who looked more aged than she did, despite being her disciples.

Qingfeng and Mingyue hurriedly went forward and smiled, "Master, you're finally back."

The Taoist priest had been away for two days and was very concerned about the children in the back courtyard. She instructed her disciples to do their own tasks and then took Qingfeng and Mingyue directly to the back courtyard to see the ginseng fruit tree.

"Qingfeng, Mingyue, have you taken good care of the children these two days? Did the demon king Sun Wukong and his group harm the children?"

"We report to Master, we have been monitoring Sun Wukong and his group and have not let them know about the ginseng fruit tree. Last night, we even tested the children's poetry, and they all recited it very well."

The Taoist priest immediately felt relieved. She had been lecturing at the Yuan Shi Tianzun, but she had been worried about the children at home. Now, hearing that they were safe, a heavy burden was lifted from her heart, and she felt much lighter.

The three of them came to the back courtyard, and the Taoist priest called out to the tree, "Children, come out quickly, Mom is here to see you."

"Wow, Mom is here!"

The leaves on the tree spread out, revealing the smiling faces of several children, full of joy.

"Mom, I've missed you so much." The Taoist priest's eyes were moist, and her gaze was kind.

Suddenly, a ginseng fruit said with a smile, "Mom, I learned a new book yesterday!"

"Wow, you learned a new book? That's really great, my good child." The Taoist priest was delighted and said, "Good child, recite the new book you learned for Mom to hear."

The ginseng fruit nodded and recited, "Long Aotian punched Biyuntao's head, then grabbed Biyun'er's arm and dragged her to his side, grinning evilly, 'Yun'er, your brother's fighting power is just so-so, he can't even take one of my moves.' Biyun'er was both angry and afraid, shouting, 'Long, you scoundrel, you killed my father and brother, I will never forgive you. If you dare, kill me too.' Long Aotian sneered, 'Killing you would be no fun. There are better ways to punish you... hehehehe...'"

After reciting this part, the ginseng fruit said happily, "Mom, did I recite it well? I recited a lot of words at once, more complex than the poems you taught me. Am I getting smarter?"

"Spit!" The Taoist priest spat out a mouthful of blood and almost fell to the ground. She barely managed to stand up again.

Another ginseng fruit said, "Mom, I also learned a new book. Let me recite it for you."

"Li Huai'nan bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood, using it as a trigger to activate his strongest spell. Suddenly, nine green dragons appeared above his head, fierce and majestic. He pointed at Long Aotian, and the nine dragons flew over, carrying the power of a thousand thunderbolts. No one in the world could withstand the combined attack of the nine dragons, even a top cultivator at the 'Transcendence' level would only die. But... Long Aotian suddenly opened his mouth and sucked in the nine dragons, swallowing them all. He smacked his lips and said, 'The taste of dragons is quite good.' Li Huai'nan's face turned ashen. Long Aotian sneered, 'You lost, hand over your daughter. Keep your word and be honest. Otherwise... I'll kill you.'"

"Li Huai'nan hung his head in defeat and waved his hand, 'Bring out Huan'er and hand her over to Mr. Long.' Soon, a beautiful woman was brought out, it was Li Huan'er.

"Long Aotian laughed and grabbed Huan'er, flashing into the nearby forest, and evil laughter could be heard from the forest..."

"Spit!" The Taoist priest spat out another mouthful of blood and fell to the ground this time.

Suddenly, all the ginseng fruits on the tree started reciting together:

"Long Aotian swung..."

"Slap, slap, slap, slap..."

"I'll show you my power..."

"Ha ha ha ha, you are my woman, in this life and the next, forever and ever..."

"Girl, you can't escape my grasp..."

The ginseng fruits chattered, reciting fragments from "Aotian Invincible Record." Each child had a different memory, some recited more, some recited less, and some could only recite a few sentences before forgetting. But no matter how much they recited, it was a terrifying thing.

The Taoist priest clutched her head and cried out, "Oh no... my innocent children, what kind of nonsense have you learned... Oh God... Ahhhhhhh..."

After her cry, she asked with a dark face, "Qingfeng, Mingyue, how dare you teach the children this stuff?"

Qingfeng and Mingyue were terrified and hurriedly said, "Master, we didn't teach them."

"If not you, who else?" The Taoist priest was furious.

"This... this... we don't know either." Qingfeng and Mingyue looked miserable and turned to the children on the tree, asking, "Who taught you to recite these things?"

The ginseng fruits clapped their hands and laughed, "Two sisters, one is called Sun Sister, and the other is called Zhu Sister."

"Sun Wukong? Zhu Baie?" The Taoist priest jumped up, "So, it's those two crazy bastards. I... I won't let them off... Qingfeng, Mingyue, didn't you say they didn't discover our ginseng fruit tree? Why did this happen?"

Qingfeng and Mingyue's faces turned pale, and they whispered, "Master, we really don't know."

The Taoist priest's face changed several times, then she suddenly remembered something and slapped her head, "No good, if they discovered these children, they wouldn't just teach them to recite and let them go. Quickly count, are any of the children missing from the tree?"

Qingfeng and Mingyue were also startled and quickly jumped up to count, "One, two, three... eighteen, nineteen... twenty-five, twenty-six. Oh no, they're gone, they're gone... Master, something terrible has happened. There are only twenty-six children on the tree, four are missing."

"Four... four are missing? My dear children... four are missing?" A powerful killing aura rose from the Taoist priest, shaking the heavens and the earth.

She said coldly, "Qingfeng, Mingyue, tell me, what do you think they will do with the four children they took?"

"This... this... disciple dares not say."

"Speak quickly!" The Taoist priest was furious.

"This... these ginseng fruits can live for three hundred and sixty years just by smelling them, and eating one can make them live for forty-seven thousand years..." Qingfeng and Mingyue stammered, "They took the children, and there can only be one use... they must have... eaten them."

"Ahhhhh!" The Taoist priest suddenly cried out to the heavens, "My poor children... wait for me, Mom will get them back and avenge you."
