The First Demon of the Chan Sect

(PS: Second update for editor's recommendation!)

...

On a sunny day, a giant leaped down from the middle of the mountain and actually covered the Heavenly Vault, blocking everyone's line of sight.

Looking closely, one could see this person was about seven Zhang tall, with a red face and even an extra eye on his forehead. With three eyes wide open, serrated teeth bared, angrily protruding whiskers, wearing armor and wielding an axe, he truly embodied a fierce and majestic presence.

Everyone was shocked and yelled, "Who are you, and why do you block our way?"

"Ha, I am Marshal Hua Guang, the appointed Spiritual Officer in front of the Yushu Fire Mansion Heavenly General Palace! Two hundred years ago, by the decree of the Jade Emperor, I descended to the Lower Realm to guard Taoshan! Leave quickly, or don't blame me for being ruthless under my axe!" Hua Guang's three eyes glared fiercely, his aura imposing.

Speaking of Marshal Hua Guang, he is indeed a notable figure. He first made his mark during the battle between Emperor Xuan Yuan and Chi You, and later, due to his distinguished military achievements, was favored by Hao Tian and recruited to the Heavenly Palace, the position granted thereafter. He is what later generations would call the Horse King with three eyes.

"Marshal, hold on, these three are my close family members! Please raise your esteemed hand and let them go!" Yaoji's voice came from under Taoshan, filled with a pleading tone.

"Princess..." Hua Guang's expression stiffened, indeed unsure how to respond.

"Marshal Hua Guang, I, Yang Jian, respect you as my ancestor from the Human Clan. If you leave now, my brothers will spare your life!" Yang Jian took two steps forward, looking at Hua Guang with an indifferent face, not at all shocked by his status as a marshal of the Heavenly Court.

Hua Guang, hearing this, became furious and harshly said, "Youngsters are too presumptuous, today you will all leave your lives here!"

With that, he activated the True Yuan inside his body and raised his giant axe to strike.

"Awoo!"

Suddenly, a howl that shook the entire Void resounded, and a streak of cyan tunneling light instantly broke through the Void, surpassing the Yang brothers and directly striking towards the red-faced Hua Guang.

In an instant, the cyan light caused intense spatial fluctuations, rushing towards Hua Guang's chest like surging waves.

"What is that?" Hua Guang was shocked and hurriedly raised his giant axe vertically to fend off the cyan light's attack.

With a crisp "clang!", Hua Guang's giant axe was thrown off. Hua Guang also spat out a mouthful of bright red blood, and his battle armor shattered instantly. Blood smeared his bare chest, truly a sorry sight.

Only then did Yang Jian and the others regain their senses, and looking in the direction from which the cyan light had come,

They saw a beast and a person standing in the distant sky.

The beast was three Zhang long and almost one Zhang tall, with flowing cyan whiskers, fierce and majestic features, and an extraordinary build.

The person was a woman, wearing a moon-white long robe, her beauty so radiant it made the Sun lose its brilliance. One could vaguely see from her bright features an eight parts resemblance to Yaoji.

Yang Tianyou was stunned, his lips trembling slightly, he said: "Could, could it be Chan'er?"

"Dad!" Yang Chan cried out joyfully, her large watery eyes brimming with crystalline tears, as she rushed on her mount Xiao Kong to the side of Yang Tianyou.

Yang Jian and Yang Jiao looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes. Smiling, they went over and said, "Little sister!"

"Big brother, second brother!" Yang Chan dismounted from Xiao Kong, her face full of joy embracing these three close family members, no longer able to suppress the excitement in her heart, tears streaming down her face.

Yang Tianyou and his two sons, although all cultivators with firm Dao Hearts, were after all flesh and blood. Seeing Yang Chan crying, they too had tears in their tiger eyes.

"Daddy, is mother really locked under Taoshan?" After a warm family moment, Yang Chan asked in a tender voice.

"Yes, your mother is at the bottom of this Taoshan!" Yang Tianyou nodded and shouted again towards Taoshan, "My lady, Chan'er is here, Chan'er has come to save you!"

In the depths of Taoshan, Yaoji, with a saddened face and trembling delicate body, murmured through blurred tearful eyes, "Chan'er, my little Chan'er!"

"Mom, I'm Chan'er, I'm your little Chan'er!" Hearing this soul-stirring call, Yang Chan yelled hysterically.

"Chan'er, take your father and brothers and leave quickly! Taoshan has countless prohibitions; you can't break them. Just wait another three hundred years, and mother will be able to reunite with you. Just go quickly!" Yaoji was still making her final effort.

Wiping the tears from her face, Yang Chan's beautiful face was filled with determination: "Mom, we will surely get you all out!"

"Cough cough!" On the other side, Hua Guang, who had been knocked down by a roar from Xiao Kong, fiercely coughed up several mouthfuls of fresh blood, his eyes clearly showing more fear looking at Yang Tianyou and the others.

"Big brother, who is this big guy?" Yang Chan tilted her head, puzzled, looking at the continually coughing Hua Guang.

Curling his lips, Yang Jiao said, "This guy is a Heavenly Soldier and General sent by Hao Tian to guard Taoshan! Simply put, he's just a gatekeeper."

"Oh, is that so!" Yang Chan's eyes mischievously turned, and she suddenly lowered her head to Xiao Kong lying beside her and said, "Xiao Kong, go knock him flying!"

"Yes, Miss!" After years of cultivation, the Green Lion Dog King has also reached the Early Quasi-Saint Realm.

During these years on Penglai Island, Xiong Da has been extremely demanding in training him, and warned him that if he wants to always follow the master, he must not transform, even if he can transform into a human, he must maintain his beast form.

This also created the second pet and mount of the Penglai Island lineage.

"Hmm?" Watching the Green Lion Dog King slowly walking towards him, Hua Guang gathered the little bit of True Yuan he had just recovered, fully on guard.

"Big fool, it's still not too late for you to walk away on your own! Wait until I take action, you will either die or be seriously injured!" Xiao Kong faithfully carries out the task assigned by Yang Chan.

"Damn beast, you can't even transform, what right do you have to lecture me? Die!" Hua Guang exploded in anger. He believed his life was full of hardships, and finally ascended to the Immortal World, getting such an easy guarding job. Unexpectedly, complications arose, and he didn't want any accidents.

Under the desolate and violent Taoshan, a crack suddenly split open, and a spiritual energy waterfall appeared. A dreamlike dark-gleaming axe light crossed the sky, sinking into the giant axe in Hua Guang's hands.

"Divine Axe Soul Sealing!" Hua Guang shouted loudly, fiercely infusing True Yuan into the giant axe.

With the addition of energy from two sources, the giant axe suddenly burst forth with the power of an Innate Spiritual Treasure Level.

Endless spiritual energy exploded, a wildly uncontrollable spiritual energy tornado wrapped around the sharp axe blade, slashing towards the motionless Xiao Kong.

"The light of a firefly, dare to compete with the brilliance of the bright moon!" A human-like disdainful cold smile appeared on Xiao Kong's face. He raised his forepaw, and a small bell wrapped in green light appeared in his palm.

"Ding!"

With a gentle shake, the small bell emitted a deafening roar, tearing the heavens apart, blasting open a piece of the void, and smashed directly onto the giant axe.

"Buzz!"

Without any resistance, the small bell shattered the chaotic spiritual energy, broke the sharp axe blade, and with unmatched pressure, sent Hua Guang flying.

"Ah..."

In an instant, Hua Guang's huge body brushed past the edge of Taoshan and flew out, transforming into a point of starlight. Only a abruptly halting scream was left behind.

"This, this is too outrageous!" Yang Jiao swallowed, watching Xiao Kong scamper back, his face filled with disbelief.

"Little sister, is this the mount bestowed to you by your Master?" Yang Jian looked at Xiao Kong who was constantly rubbing against Yang Chan's Daoist robe, unable to conceal the affection in his eyes.

"Ah? It?" Yang Chan stroked the mane on Xiao Kong's neck, leading him to Yang Jian's side and said, "No! This was given to you by my Master! Master said you also belong to our Penglai Island lineage, so this guy will follow you from now on, no need to return to Penglai Island!"

"Ah?" Yang Jian was stunned and said, "This, really given to me?"

"Go, meet your new master!" Yang Chan nodded and gently patted Xiao Kong's big head.

Xiao Kong obediently stepped forward two steps, tucked his front paws inward, and bowed: "Green Lion Dog King Xiao Kong, greets the master!"

"Hehe, good, good!" Yang Jian foolishly smiled twice and said, "Get up!"

Yang Jiao chuckled and said, "Alright, Erlang, we can discuss happy matters later. Let's quickly split open Taoshan and rescue our mother!"

"Big brother is right!" Yang Jian nodded, and immediately, his hand flickered with brilliant light, and a dazzlingly colorful large axe appeared.

"Dad, big brother, little sister, you better stand back a bit! This Sky-Opening Divine Axe is too powerful, I'm afraid it might hurt you!" Yang Jian turned his head and told Yang Tianyou and others.

"Okay!" Everyone nodded and retreated about five li away.

"Today, I will break these Heavenly Court shackles, let's see how you prevent our family reunion!" Looking at the huge Taoshan that manifests the Heavenly Rules, Yang Jian's anger surged. Suddenly raising the giant axe in his hand, he crazily infused Yuqing True Essence into it, and fiercely chopped down.

The Sky-Opening Divine Axe, like the first gleam of dawn before the creation of Heaven and Earth, the body of the axe crystal clear, the five-colored light beams were dazzling and breathtaking, intimidating to the soul. The massive axe light spread like ripples on the sea, shaking the Cangqiong within ten thousand miles.

At this moment, East Kunlun Mountain, Western Great Leiyin Temple, Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang Temple, Four Extremes Palace, Netherworld... were all awakened by this earth-shattering oppressive force, simultaneously casting their gaze towards the direction of Jizhou Taoshan.

However, what surprised them was that Heavenly Court did not respond at all, as if indifferent to the matter.

In the Heavenly Court, in the Palace of the Polestar, Hao Tian, through the Heavenly Mirror, watched the events at Taoshan, his face expressionless, unable to discern happiness or anger.

Inside the great hall, the disheveled Hua Guang, his face ashen, knelt below the stairs, eyes lifeless.

Hao Tian looked down at Hua Guang and said, "Hua Guang,
