Kapitel 23: The Law of Nightmare Town
Redakteur: Dragon Boat Translation
"Emperor's translator. How interesting. It truly surprised me."
After Su Yan finished reading the notice board, he smiled and shook his head. Emperor Xia Yu was not ordinary. He was born as the son of the first Emperor Xia Yu, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Empress. When he spoke, he sounded well-educated. But in the notice, the translator extracted the key words and rewrote them in easy-understandable language.
Xia Yu's current emperor was a female. In this world where martial strength could move mountains and fill seas, gender did not matter.
Moreover, if one counted, Su Yan and the Wu Sheng Emperor could even be considered relatives.
Xia Yu's nine-tailed fox queen came from the You Su Clan, and Su Yan was also a fox from the You Su Clan.
In the beginning, the You Su Clan clan leader felt the change in the world's destiny and advised the Qing Qiu Clan to talk about the prosperity of the human race.
The Qing Qiu foxes did not believe in her words. At first, Mrs. Su did not bother with them and ran out of Qing Qiu to participate in the dispute over the change of fate. They lived a rich and comfortable life.
The You Su family was once glorious, but unfortunately, the daughters of the famous You Su family had to get married at a certain age. One or two foxes liked to get married to other races.
Despite being born with the bloodline of a nine-tailed fox, Wu Sheng Emperor was raised with a human education and grew up in the most merciless imperial family.
Su Yan was too afraid to venture into the Imperial City or approach the imperial family, as it would surely result in his demise. To ensure his safety, he decided to conceal his true identity as a nine-tailed fox and a descendant of the true dragon bloodline.
By keeping these powers hidden, Su Yan believed he could live without fear.
However, he knew that as his cultivation level grew and the dormant powers of the Nine-Tailed Fox and Black Dragon awakened within him, he would eventually be able to face any danger with courage and confidence.
Now, if he was shouting on the streets that he was a distant relative of the royal family, Su Yan would face countless troubles.
Putting aside the fact that the humans were unpredictable and sinister, the people of Nightmare Town would be the first to make trouble for Su Yan.
Nightmare Town Suppression was black magic, unlike any other magic system outside the orthodox or demonic magic.
It included but was not limited to killing curses, bloodline snatching, and other evil spells that could destroy the foundation of orthodoxy.
Humans were not the only ones living in Nightmare Town. Even some ordinary demons would cultivate in Nightmare Town to steal the bloodline of divine or mutated beasts.
They wanted to change their fate so that their descendants could become rich.
Living things killed the inhabitants of Nightmare Town, who were cultivators.
When Su Yan was still a baby, Mother Su would often tell Su Yan stories about the Nightmare Town with a smile when she was feeding the nine-tailed fox cubs.
For instance, when the nine-tailed fox cubs disobeyed their parents, they were captured and taken to Nightmare Town. Their tails were cruelly severed and sent to Nightmare Town.
This allowed the people of Nightmare Town to harness the boundless magical power and incredible vitality of the nine-tailed fox through their bloodline.
Mother Su kindly informed Su Yan that the previous story was entirely true.
It was an unfortunate event that occurred to the fox clan of Qing Qiu.
The demon clan of Nightmare Town was unable to defeat the adult nine-tailed fox, so they targeted the defenseless cubs instead.
Due to the carelessness of the adults, the demon clan succeeded in their mission.
The fox tail, which possesses limitless vitality, magical abilities, and resistance to fire, had its fur mercilessly stripped away. Its muscles and fur were then transplanted onto a beast, granting it the formidable strength of the nine-tailed fox bloodline.
The monstrous creature had unleashed a never-ending wave of destruction, merging its bloodline with that of formidable demons. As a result, it sprouted nine heads and nine tails, establishing its dominance over the mountains.
When the Qing Qiu Fox finally realized that her child had vanished, the beast had already transformed into a malevolent force, causing chaos wherever it went. In the years to come, this creature came to be known as Long Zhi.
The above story was purely true history, which made Su Yan tremble in fear when he came to the cultivation world.
It was precisely because he knew about the people of Nightmare Town that Su Yan never boasted about his background.
They were afraid of provoking some powerful people from Nightmare Town.
There was nothing wrong with being cowardly. Little Fox's original job was to act cute. Moreover, the Nine-Tailed Fox could make a sweet and cute sound.
It was much more fun than ordinary little foxes!
...
For Su Yan and Jiao Nanwu of the Falling River Restaurant, the Beast Suppression Department's notice was just a conversation topic after dinner. It did not cause much of a stir.
Su Yan wouldn't face violence from the residents of Nightmare Town as long as he didn't flaunt himself around.
Wu Sheng Emperor was furious not because of the bloodline, but because of the Ten Thousand Miles Curse Killing Spell in Nightmare Town. It almost killed a general in the imperial court, which made Wu Sheng Emperor so angry that he ordered the Beast Suppression Department to post a notice board in Xia Yu.
Regardless of their identity or connection to the imperial court generals' curses, anyone who enforced the law of Nightmare Town would be brought to the main city of Xia Yu to face execution by beheading and have their lamps lit.
"Brother Su!"
The dishes at the Falling River Restaurant had just been served, and the restaurant waitress introduced the dishes and ingredients to Su Yan one by one.
However, a loud shout broke the quiet and elegant atmosphere of the Falling River Restaurant. Zhou You and Wen Juntong walked out of the elevator with their arms around each other's shoulders.
When Zhou You saw Su Yan, he smiled and waved at him, "Do you want to have a drink?"
When Zhou You saw Su Yan, he was very happy because he was a guy who did not do his job properly. He didn't like to cultivate or manage things. He was a hooligan with no dreams in life. His favorite thing was to travel around. He also wanted to compile an encyclopedia about the human geography of the cultivation world.
Su Yan knew much knowledge that even Zhou You had never seen before in the beast race.
It made Zhou You realize that there might be differences in the perspective of humans and beasts.
A Mountain Spirit like the Flower Fairy was recorded in the books of the human race as a harmless spirit that could help artificially cultivated spiritual plants bear fruit.
However, the Flower Fairy was a delicate Mountain Spirit that would easily die from depression if imprisoned.
Su Yan started making tea and boiling water, unlike the humans who worshipped the Flower Fairy as their mother.
Zhou You was surprised and he had the thought of befriending Su Yan.
Perhaps… Su Yan was also a hooligan. The hooligans felt an inexplicable sense of appreciation for each other.
"Brother Su?"
Zhou You called him again, but Su Yan did not reply. The term Brother Su was unfamiliar to Su Yan. He had never heard anyone address him like this before, so he did not realize that Zhou You was calling him.
Helplessly, Zhou You could only step forward and interrupt his meal with Jiao Nanwu by shouting Su Yan.
"Are you calling me?"
Su Yan was stunned when he saw Zhou You. He raised his finger and pointed at himself.
"Yeah, is your surname Su? We've all met three times before. In the big city, many strangers pass by each other. It was rare for us to meet again in our lifetime. We've already met three times. We're brothers, right?"
Zhou You said confidently.
"...."
Su Yan's expression was subtle. He could not agree with Zhou You.
"Weren't you guys fighting to the death yesterday? Why are you hugging me today?"
Although he was very dissatisfied with Zhou You's way of addressing him, Su Yan did not express it openly. He only tried to sow discord to arouse Wen Juntong's hatred.
