Journey to the End of the Night-Chapter 1411 - 894: The Torment of the Lütou (Part 2)
Therefore, no matter how unruly the Young Master of the Tiansheng Sect behaves, he can only suffer in silence.
Since the matter didn’t reach Baili Yu’s ears and the Sect Master of the Tiansheng Sect saw that he only suffered minor injuries, he didn’t want to offend the Xijian Sect and escalate the issue, so naturally, no one could intervene on his behalf.
The difficulty lies in how the Young Master, in the heart of the Sect Master’s wife of the Tiansheng Sect, is deemed more important than life itself.
This treasured child, who is held dear, was wronged on someone else’s territory—how could she tolerate it?
This woman, when protecting her offspring, is utterly unreasonable and has no limits.
She somehow utilized her network to secretly invite Secret Technique Cultivators from Xilu Country and covertly employed spell-casting techniques to bring disaster.
It caused severe illness for months, and evil wind infiltrated the body at night, leading to persistent high fevers that wouldn’t subside. Had Ying Ji not discovered it in time, Baili An’s health would have been severely compromised.
Ying Ji exposed the matter, decisively broke the disaster spell, causing the cultivator to suffer backlash and die, caught red-handed.
The Sect Master of the Tiansheng Sect learned of this and came to plead for forgiveness overnight.
The sin of secretly harming the Young Master of the Xijian Sect can be seen as significant or minor.
The Tiansheng Sect has always been friendly with the Xijian Sect. During the righteous and evil battle, the Sect Master of the Tiansheng Sect, Gongshu Yuan, contributed greatly and shared camaraderie with Baili Yu.
Seeing that Baili An wasn’t seriously harmed and Gongshu Yuan sincerely visited to apologize, Baili Yu considered it merely child’s play, allowing the issue to pass.
But from Ying Ji’s perspective, it wasn’t something that could be brushed aside.
Though she has been married into Tianxi for many years, aware of her sensitive status among the Righteous Cultivators.
For the sake of her husband and child, she has always acted discreetly and endured patiently within the Xijian Sect, never engaging in disputes with disciples of the sect.
Although the world fears the fierce reputation of the Central Netherworld, only those experienced Inner Disciple know that Ying Ji had been a reasonable person during her years at Bai Tuo Mountain.
But this reasonableness has only one condition, which is Baili An.
In Baili Yu’s heart, this matter is considered bygone.
However, in her heart, it wasn’t merely child’s play.
The instigator was clearly the Young Master of the Tiansheng Sect, using power to bully the weak, unable to match in skill, claiming it was child’s play after suffering losses.
The dignified Sect Master’s wife, an elder of the Immortal Sect, plotting insidiously against a mere child.
Had she not discovered it in time, Baili An would not only struggle with cultivation for the rest of his life but might also be bedridden as a frail gentleman.
Ying Ji resented Baili Yu’s complacent attitude, his magnanimity always directed externally.
His family’s child employing spirits for protection is deemed an unworthy, deviant act.
A wife from another family secretly employing harmful tricks against one’s own child is dismissed as child’s play.
The cultivator from Xilu Country, outwardly seeming to be a Secret Technique Master, yet knowledgeable in disaster spells, is most likely an Evil Cultivator.
Ying Ji used secret arts to cause the cultivator to suffer backlash and die.
As Baili Yu wished to maintain diplomatic relations with the Tiansheng Sect, it wasn’t worth arresting Gongshu Yuan’s wife and announcing it to the world over such a trivial matter.
Anyway, the culprit, the Evil Cultivator, is deceased, further investigation is meaningless.
But Baili Yu wasn’t aware, despite Ying Ji’s usual diplomatic and overall approach to matters within the Xijian Sect, she had completely severed ties with the Tiansheng Sect in her heart.
Baili An remembered that year when Ying Ji returned once to the You Dynasty and retrieved the spiritual pet she had raised for years, which was this green fathead fish.
Then, carrying a kitchen knife and a chopping board, she fiercely ’charged’ towards the Tiansheng Sect gateway.
She presented a fierce, reckless, unreasonable appearance, not taking action, but retaliating with their own methods.
She sat grandly in front of the mountain gate, without any Empress mannerism, yelling indignantly.
The words learned from the old women over the years at the mahjong table.
Being able to yell like a shameless woman at the gates of the Tiansheng Sect for three days without repeating her lines.
The daunting posture of crying, making trouble, and threatening to hang herself was something no one could endure.
What’s particularly frightening is that Empress Ying Ji sat on the mountain top, and for every curse she uttered, the knife in her hand would fiercely chop onto the fish head, causing heart-wrenching ghostly wails that shook the earth and mountains.
’Lu Tou’ is a peculiar fish of the Four Seas, its screams can pierce the heart and soul, inducing nightmares upon hearing, causing chills and nausea, as time goes on, the Dao heart will collapse, and the spirit platform will crumble.
Rumor has it that the sound of a single Lu Tou can rival the cries of millions of evil ghosts, it is said to be devilish sound pouring into the ears, with countless sharp heart-scratching notes erupting in an instant.
Even the most wise, inner peace-seeking Buddhist disciples of the West evade this Lu Tou.
Lady Ying Ji truly deserves to be the Empress of Central Netherworld, and even the skill of ’shameless woman’s curse’ she has perfected to the pinnacle, complementing the nasal tone of the fat green fish’s screams, it’s evenly matched without falling short.
The Tiansheng Sect, born of Taoist origin, specializes in internal techniques and emphasizes cultivating one’s heart, trying one’s best to stay away from the mundane sounds.
After Ying Ji’s relentless antics, the sect master’s wife led the way into a frenzy, rushing out of the mountain gate in craze.
The madam held nine vicious dogs that looked like wolves but were dogs indeed, with black and white stripes all over, three fires on their foreheads, eyes like blue flames, looking exceedingly handsome, their gaze naturally bearing an expression of disdain, each being adept in quarrel and bickering, intimidatingly started to scold Ying Ji, but were no match.
All nine large dogs were forced by Ying Ji, with her persona and a fish, defeating thousands, causing them to retreat step by step.
The dogs ended up vomiting from the insults.
It’s not that the Tiansheng Sect Master’s wife lacked in momentum or scolding ability.
It’s simply that Lady Ying Ji was too well-equipped, apart from that green-headed fish.
Adding insult to injury, although both acted as shameless women, both were indeed shameless, but their demeanor differed vastly.
The Tiansheng Sect Master’s wife was sweating profusely, panting heavily, her voice hoarse, exhausting her efforts, leading nine dogs jumping around, with no poise to speak of.
Conversely, although Ying Ji’s actions were that of a shameless woman, wielding a knife and chopping on a board.
Yet somehow, her gestures stood out uniquely from the crowd, her speech undoubtedly cursing, but her elegance, her style, was akin to an artist playing with flowers over the moon on stage.
In the ancient forest of high mountains, she was captivating as a mountain ghost, and her figure was even more akin to an immortal god.
After comparison, the Tiansheng Sect Master’s wife clearly came up short by a mile, further suffering from this event, her Dao heart damaged, dealing with nightmares for years, resulting in the problem of vomiting upon seeing fish.
This verbal conflict lasted a whole three days and nights, creating a huge commotion, yet no one could associate this woman who cursed with a kitchen knife like a rural shrew at the mountain front with the dignified Empress of Central Netherworld, Tianxi Sect Master’s wife.
Instead, it only generated an odd tale of a mysteriously beautiful yet rough-spoken woman causing chaos at the Tiansheng Sect, leaving chickens and dogs restless, and humanity fearful.
Ying Ji’s little-known side was even unknown to Baili Yu.
Yet Baili An was well aware of his mother, no matter her outward high-cold elegance, she was a model of grace and demeanor.
But when she truly got angry, what emerged from inside was all the pettiness and fussiness.
So when Baili An saw her take out the chopping board and that ugly, fat green fish, he sensed something big was amiss.
If he didn’t heed her and follow her intention, even the dignified Earth Queen Empress of Central Netherworld, she might truly disregard her status and behave like a rogue, crying and making a fuss on this mountain.
He hurriedly walked over quickly, squatted in front of Ying Ji, and pressed her hand holding the knife, stopping her frightening act.
Ying Ji was in high spirits, but at the moment Baili An’s hand pressed down, her hand gripping the knife tightly suddenly loosened its strength, and the rusty knife slipped weakly.
And in the astonished gaze of everyone, obediently squatting on the ground Crown Prince’s collar was grabbed by the Empress, his robe rustling, flipping the Crown Prince over like flipping a pancake.
The action was brisk and nimble.
The Crown Prince was clearly still taken aback, his eyes dazed, forced to lie prone on her lap, without allowing him to prop himself up.
Our esteemed Empress then thunderously picked up the feather duster and started to use it on the Crown Prince’s backside.
