Chapter 208 Strong intervention
Tushan Rongrong did not answer the old man's question. She waved her sleeves lightly, and a warm and healing power enveloped Ximen Tianyu, slowly repairing his damaged meridians and body.
Ximen Tianyu felt the influx of this power, and his face gradually regained its color. He struggled to sit up and looked at Tushan Rongrong, his eyes full of gratitude and surprise: "Sister Rongrong, you... why are you here?"
"If I hadn't come, you would have died here today."
Tushan Rongrong's face was slightly gloomy, and she seemed to be dissatisfied with Ximen Tianyu's desperate behavior alone.
After hearing this, the old man also understood Tushan Rongrong's position.
"Tushan Fox Demon, although you are strong, it is not appropriate for you to interfere in the affairs of my Xiao family, right?"
The old man frowned. He obviously did not expect Tushan Rongrong to go to such great lengths for a human being.
"Not appropriate?" Tushan Rongrong chuckled, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes, "When will it be your turn to say whether something in this world is appropriate or not? I, Tushan, have my own reasons for doing things. Today, I want to protect him, what do you think?"
The old man's face was gloomy. He naturally knew Tushan's status in the demon alliance and the strength of Tushan fox demon that could not be underestimated. But the Xiao family had no connection with Tushan, and this matter concerned the Xiao family's reputation. How could he give in easily?
"Hmph, Tushan Fox Demon, you are a little too overbearing. How can I allow an outsider like you to interfere in the affairs of my Xiao family?"
"Oh? Then I want to see what ability your Xiao family has to stop me from doing what Tushan does."
Tushan Rongrong's voice remained calm, but her words revealed an unquestionable determination.
As she finished her words, an even more powerful spiritual power surged out from nowhere, confronting the old man head-on. The spiritual power revealed an extreme chill, as if it could freeze everything in the world.
This sudden change made the air around them tremble, and the Xiao family disciples looked at each other in shock.
"This power..."
The old man's face suddenly changed. He could feel the source of the coldness. It was definitely not an ordinary thing. The power it contained was enough to make him fearful.
"who is it?"
The old man's tone was filled with horror. He turned around abruptly, his eyes as sharp as torches, trying to penetrate the shadows of the dense forest and find the real owner of that power. However, all he got in response was a biting cold wind and the trembling of the surrounding Xiao family disciples due to fear.
At this moment, a cold and majestic voice came from deep in the forest, like the first wisp of frost and snow in the early morning of winter, with an irresistible chill: "Dao League Xiao Family, when did you become so arrogant that you dare to bully the people of Tushan?"
As the voice fell, a woman in a red dress and with a cold and detached face slowly walked into the sight of everyone. She was carrying a wine gourd that was almost as tall as her, and the nine fox tails behind her were all visible, complementing the chill that permeated the surroundings.
The person who came was Tushan Yaya, the nominal second in command of Tushan, but actually the current master of Tushan.
When the old man from the Xiao family saw this, his expression instantly turned extremely ugly. It seemed that he recognized Tushan Yaya and was also aware of her terrifying strength.
Since the death of Dongfang Yuechu and Wang Quanfugui, this generation of the Dao League has not had anyone who could match their talent. Even though Tushan Yaya did not take that step at this moment, her strength at the peak of the Great Demon King was enough to shock all the Xiao family disciples present. Tushan Yaya just glanced at the old man coldly, and the pressure contained in her eyes made the old man involuntarily take a step back. Then, she turned to Ximen Tianyu, with a little more tenderness and concern in her eyes: "Are you okay?"
Ximen Tianyu shook his head. Although he was still weak, he could not express his gratitude in words: "I'm fine, but why are Sister Yaya and Sister Rongrong here?"
"It's all because of your incompetence. Even the life-saving talisman that Rongrong gave you was broken into pieces. If Rongrong hadn't been so smart as to set up a reverse teleportation array in it, I'm afraid we would have been left with no choice but to come and collect your body."
There was some blame in Tushan Yaya's words, but more of it was concern for Ximen Tianyu's safety.
"Rongrong sensed in Tushan that the jade pendant on your body was forcibly destroyed by external forces. She was worried that you were in danger, so she immediately notified me. Then we tracked you here together."
Tushan Yaya explained, her gaze lingering on Ximen Tianyu for a moment, as if to confirm whether he was really okay.
Ximen Tianyu felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this. He didn't expect that his struggle in a desperate situation would actually touch the hearts of the two leaders of Tushan. He took a deep breath and tried to make himself look stronger: "Thank you Sister Yaya, thank you Sister Rongrong. I will definitely pay you back what I owe you."
Tushan Rongrong smiled slightly, and that smile was like a spring breeze, gentle and healing: "Silly brother, what are you talking about? We Tushan have a fate with you, so we naturally can't watch you get into trouble."
The old man of the Xiao family saw that the man and the two demons in front of him completely ignored his existence, and he was furious: "Tushan fox demon, you are interfering in my Xiao family's affairs today, are you trying to destroy the 'Human-Demon Peace' contract?"
Seeing that he could not win by brute force, the old man could only use justice to put pressure on the Tushan fox demons, trying to make them retreat.
However, Tushan Yaya did not buy it. Her eyes became even colder, as if they could penetrate all the hypocritical words.
"Peace between humans and demons? It is set up to maintain tranquility in both the human and demon worlds, and is definitely not a shelter for your Xiao family to act recklessly. If your Xiao family really abides by the contract, how could you be here to meet those rats hiding in the dark?" Although Tushan Yaya's voice was soft, every word was like a heavy hammer, striking the hearts of everyone present.
The old man was speechless for a moment. He knew that he was in the wrong, but even though he was unwilling to do so, he could only give up temporarily. Soon, he led the Xiao family disciples to evacuate from here.
Tushan Yaya did not stop the old man from leaving, but just stared at their backs coldly until they disappeared into the depths of the dense forest. Then, she turned around and looked at Ximen Tianyu, with both reproach and expectation in her eyes.
"Although you have some talent, you act too impulsively. If Rongrong hadn't informed me in time today, you would have been in great danger. Remember, the path of cultivation is long and difficult. Don't underestimate the enemy, and don't be arrogant."
Ximen Tianyu felt guilty when he heard this. He knew that his recklessness today had brought unnecessary trouble to Tushan and almost put himself in an irreparable situation.
"I'm sorry, Sister Yaya, Sister Rongrong, I was too impulsive. I wanted to use the Pure Yangyan to get rid of everyone in one go, but I still underestimated the strength of the Xiao family."
