“I, this cat, have no intention of disturbing; I will leave once my injuries are healed.”

This thought popped into its mind, startling Xuan Jiu itself. It shook its head, calming its fluctuating emotions.

Towards the child in front of it, it unconsciously adopted a respectful demeanor, for this one was seemingly capable of controlling the entire grand formation.

The entire Gu family was enveloped within it. Such a formation, once activated, would leave even a sixth-rank individual in a dire state.

At its peak, it was only equivalent to a fourth-rank, completely incapable of winning. As a member of the Black Cat Clan, adapting to circumstances has always been the clan’s foremost rule.

Can’t beat it? Then wholeheartedly join!

Regardless of whether the other party accepts or not, at the very least, there must be no conflict.

“You mean they’re slaughtering a large number of stray cats and dogs?”

Yao Yao didn’t know the little thoughts in the black cat’s mind. After hearing clearly why the latter was fleeing, her little face instantly became serious.

If it were one or two incidents, Yao Yao wouldn’t think too deeply, but hearing Xuan Jiu’s implication, the number slaughtered was very large.

It was even being pursued by a Xuan Master; this problem instantly became severe.

One must know that cat souls and bones are of extreme Yin, and among them, black cats are even more exceptional. This is also a major reason for their closeness to the underworld.

Dogs, on the other hand, are the opposite. Their souls and bones are of extreme Yang, especially black dog blood. Many talismans of the Xuanmen used to break evil and dispel malevolence are drawn with its blood.

The Xuan Masters hiding behind the scenes couldn’t possibly not know this basic Xuanmen knowledge, yet they still acted this way.

It can only be said that they were doing it intentionally. They were collecting the bones, blood, and spiritual souls of cats and dogs.

These materials, imbued with extreme Yin and Yang, could be used for many things by evil Xuan Masters. This was the fundamental reason for Yao Yao’s solemnity.

However, even if those cultivators didn’t use them for other purposes, the mere act of slaughtering living beings was equally unforgivable.

“Little black cat, can you take me to see?” Yao Yao tilted her head and asked.

That address, “little black cat,” made Xuan Jiu almost lose control of its expression. It had cultivated for hundreds of years; its age was greater than all these people combined.

But what was this little doll calling it? It was truly too insulting for a cat!

“Are you sure you want to go? That’s a sixth-rank Xuan Master’s den. You might not come back,” Xuan Jiu’s dark face also showed caution at this moment.

Last time, the opponent wasn’t paying attention, and it slipped away quickly when it saw the bad situation; that’s how it escaped.

But after its own incident, the opponent’s den would surely be even more heavily guarded. Its own vital energy was greatly damaged now. To bring a little doll charging in again, wouldn’t that be like throwing meat buns at a dog, destined for failure?

Even if the latter could handle a sixth-rank individual under the formation, going into someone else’s territory, where one’s strength wanes while the other’s grows, it was inevitable to suffer a great loss.

No, absolutely not. I can’t risk my life!

“Are you afraid I can’t beat those bad guys?” Yao Yao saw the struggle on the black cat’s face and immediately understood its worry.

“Shouldn’t I be afraid? That’s a sixth-rank!” Xuan Jiu felt as speechless as if it had eaten a dead mouse.

However, this expression didn’t last long. Its expression instantly changed because Yao Yao extended her small hand towards it.

It was clearly a very ordinary movement, yet it made its heart pound with fear. All the hairs on its body stood on end, yet it couldn’t dodge at all.

This feeling of terror was several times more terrifying than the sixth-rank individual it had faced before.

“Se-seventh rank, right?”

Although that small hand ultimately didn’t fall, Xuan Jiu’s emotions at this moment were turned upside down.

It looked at the little doll in front of it in disbelief, speaking its conjecture word by word. As the sound came out, it itself felt a sense of unreality.

This was a seventh-rank. If it were an old man who had cultivated for hundreds of years, it wouldn’t be too surprised. But this time, the target was a three-year-old doll. Its head was buzzing at this moment; it had the illusion of having lived for decades in vain.

“Little black cat, can you take me now?”

Yao Yao had no time to mind the latter’s shock. Her big, dark eyes looked over seriously.

Xuan Jiu recovered from its shock. Then, it nodded without hesitation and said, “Go!”

Thinking of how that dog Xuan Master almost beat it to death before, it had a grudge in its heart. But alas, its ability wasn’t enough to get revenge.

But now it was different. A powerful backer had appeared before it. With this one backing it up, no matter what, it would get its revenge today.

Perhaps it imagined that sixth-rank running away with its head in its hands, causing it to tremble all over with excitement.

The human and the cat could be said to have instantly clicked. Yao Yao scooped up Xuan Jiu and was about to leave.

This scene made Chen Hui in the living room look stunned; she couldn’t quite react.

First, her little grandson brought back a black cat that suddenly spoke human language, saying a bunch of confusing things. Now, why were they going out again?

However, Chen Hui didn’t stop them. After all, her daughter was in such a hurry; she naturally had her reasons.

“Remember to come back early. I’ll have the kitchen keep breakfast warm for you.”

“Mhm, I’ll be back very soon!” Yao Yao softly nodded and quickly walked out of the courtyard.

After Xuan Jiu pointed out the direction, it suddenly became curious how the latter would travel, as it didn’t see a driver.

The next moment, it saw Yao Yao take a wide step. The distance she covered almost made its eyeballs pop out.

In just over ten seconds, it once again saw the place where it had frantically fled for its life.

Xuan Jiu stared at her for a while. Finally, it could only stiffly force out the words, “Good technique.”

This was an abandoned slaughterhouse. The large iron gate was so old its paint was peeling and it was rusting. Wild grass grew profusely all around.

Around the site was also an ancient tree so thick it would take several people to embrace it. Perhaps due to lack of nutrients, the ancient tree had withered and died.

On the bare branches stood several enormous bird nests. Many black-feathered crows perched atop them, emitting raucous caws.

Yao Yao retracted her spell at this moment. Without Xuan Jiu needing to explain, she immediately saw the abnormality of this place.

The entire slaughterhouse was enveloped by a faint formation in the sky, concealing the situation inside. For ordinary people, the effect was indeed obvious.

But in the eyes of high-level cultivators, the formation itself was the biggest flaw.

“What are you going to do?” Xuan Jiu couldn’t help but ask at this moment.

The continuous shocks along the way had made it completely admire Yao Yao. It no longer dared to show any disrespect.

However, this formation seemed to have been reinforced. Last time it came, it was far from this secretive.

It had no tricks at all; it could only rely on the Master. And facing Xuan Jiu’s question, Yao Yao’s lips curved.

“What can we do? A quick battle and charge right in.”

She clenched her small fist, not dragging her feet. Under the latter’s astonished gaze, she extended her small hand and clapped from a distance.

Terrifying spiritual energy, like a giant dragon rolling over, gathered into a huge handprint in the blink of an eye.

It slammed down like a landslide.

The formation over the entire slaughterhouse was originally used to conceal aura. Its defensive capability was not strong.

Yao Yao, using eighth-rank methods, stirring the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, even a casual strike, was absolutely not something the current formation could stop.

Amidst the loud bang, the formation shattered like glass, scattering everywhere with a crash.

This scene made Xuan Jiu, who was held in her arms, twitch violently at the corner of its eye. It now understood a principle.

This one was someone who used force rather than words.

Then it became nervous again. Because the formation was broken so forcefully, the Xuan Master hidden within the formation would probably retaliate like a mad dog.

It had to be ready to react. Although it couldn’t help the Master, it absolutely couldn’t hold her back.

And as it expected, it was ready. An angry roar came from the slaughterhouse, which was almost reduced to ruins.

The volume of the voice was so great that the crows on the dead tree had their internal organs shattered, falling from the branches in clumps.
