Chapter 279: Try Taking A Drink of Cold Water?
The person in the sky shouted.
Su Wen and the others stopped in their tracks.
As the person flew closer, one could see that he had the fur of a tiger on his body.
His face was covered in fur, and his eyes were shaped like those of a tiger.
Su Wen narrowed his eyes. This fellow might look scary, but his strength was not actually nothing much.
1st Grade Heaven Rank… what should he do? Silence him?
As he pondered, that person’s eyes turned red. He looked at Qin Xin and said sternly, “You’re the leader of that bandit group, right? My clansmen were killed by you a few days ago! Today, I will avenge them!”
It was a very simple matter. It was not even worth asking too much.
Su Wen said softly, “Get rid of him! You don’t have any foresight at all. If you stay in my residence like this, you will be beaten up by Brother Zhao three times a day!”
It was obvious that he was talking to Chu Yiming.
Chu Yiming was helpless…
Was this guy really treating him as a servant?
And… who was Brother Zhao? Was he really that amazing? Was he really so awesome that he could beat him up three times a day?
Without hesitation, Chu Yiming released his domain!
The moment the pitch-black domain appeared, the flying Demonic Tiger Clan member’s expression changed.
He stared aghast at the golden horn on Chu Yiming’s forehead as the guy slowly flew up.
He started trembling!
“D-D-Demon Lord!” he cried out.
He hadn’t noticed that Chu Yiming was in the crowd.
As one of the subordinate races of the Demonic Tribe, this fellow in front of him had naturally seen Chu Yiming before.
Chu Yiming stared at the fellow in front of him.
Thinking about it, he did not want this person to die.
To put it bluntly, he was already completely restricted by Su Wen.
If he wanted to report this to Chu Xun!
Perhaps he had to try to start with someone else.
He laughed loudly and pretended to be familiar with this person. “Haha, so it’s you. I didn’t expect to meet you here! What’s your name again?”
Chu Yiming had to ask again as he did not even remember this person at all.
“This one is Huang Qi!” The Heaven Rank Demon Tiger tribe member hurriedly reported his name.
Chu Yiming said loudly, “Since you know me, I’ll plead with the lord below!”
As he spoke, he landed beside Su Wen and bowed. “Lord Su, I know this fellow. Can you spare his life?”
Su Wen naturally noticed their actions.
However, Su Wen did not expose him. Instead, he waved at Huang Qi.
Huang Qi was currently in a state of shock. One had to know what kind of status Chu Yiming had. If he even had to humble himself before this person, then what kind of expert was he?
When he saw Su Wen waving his hand, Huang Qi hurriedly landed.
At this moment, he wanted to cry but had no tears. He looked at Su Wen and hurriedly explained, “Lord, I didn’t mean to offend you. It’s just that a few days ago, many of my descendants were killed by this woman, so I came to take revenge!”
As he spoke, he glanced at Qin Xin.
Qin Xin remained silent in response. No matter what, there was now Su Wen to hold up the skies for them.
She was also secretly glad that she had joined Su Wen’s side. Otherwise, if they came across that Heaven Rank expert, they might have all been wiped out.
Su Wen looked at Huang Qi and said calmly, “Since we know each other, let’s go together.”
As for Qin Xin’s murder, Su Wen neither asked nor explained.
It was impossible for a 1st Grade Heaven Rank to cause any trouble under Su Wen’s hands. There was no need for restrictions.
As for letting him go, it was impossible.
Huang Qi did not dare to disobey and also joined the team.
As they advanced, they soon left the territory of the Demonic Tribe.
They proceeded deeper into the Demon Realm.
At this moment, Huang Qi walked beside Chu Yiming.
Huang Qi looked at Chu Yiming before asking in a low voice, “Demon Lord, who is this Lord Su? Why have I never seen him before?”
Chu Yiming was about to speak to Huang Qi in private.
However, the small sun in his body suddenly swelled!
This made him break out in cold sweat.
Obviously, Su Wen was reminding him not to spout nonsense.
Chu Yiming’s face hardened. “Don’t ask about things that you shouldn’t! Just listen to the Lord!”
Chu Yiming snapped before he quickly distanced himself from Huang Qi.
‘What is this!’
Heaven Rank cursed inwardly. Although he looked respectful on the surface, anyone who could become a Heaven Rank was an expert of an area..
This naturally made him even more dissatisfied with Chu Yiming.
However, Chu Yiming had pleaded on his behalf to save his life, so he would just keep his thoughts to himself.
Everyone proceeded forward as Su Wen continued to search for Su Su’s traces.
The people who joined later all became curious.
How could there be a human girl in the Demon Realm?
Even Chu Yiming couldn’t understand this question.
However, no one dared to disobey Su Wen’s orders.
Just as they entered a city, Su Wen got everyone to spread the news.
“Apart from Chu Yiming, the rest of you should hurry into the city to scout. Remember, you must ask clearly if there is a human girl. That child is carrying a bear doll and wearing a beautiful dress. She might be with a Heavenly Fiend tribe member!”
Su Wen casually instructed.
Chu Yiming rolled his eyes. Ever since he was discovered when he tried to talk to Huang Qi the last time, he realized that Su Wen’s guard against him seemed to have tightened.
Every time he wanted to look for Huang Qi in private, the sun in his body would start to rhythmically throb.
It was as if it would explode at any moment.
It terrified him to no end.
He did not dare to talk to Huang Qi in private after that.
But now, he still wanted to try!
He wanted to do the opposite! He wanted to use some tricks in front of Su Wen!
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest.
His plan might work!
Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Chu Yiming shouted, “Old Huang! Wait!”
Huang Qi stopped and turned around in confusion.
Chu Yiming smiled and said, “I want to eat the Demon Snake Soup in this city. Help me buy a bowl! This is a Demon Stone!”
Chu Yiming had tampered with the magic stone. Under the magic stone, he had dug a small hole and stuffed a note inside.
Furthermore, he was constantly paying attention to Su Wen. As long as Su Wen spoke, he would immediately destroy the note.
Thus, Su Wen did not seem to notice anything amiss.
The sun in his body did not expand either even when he was talking to Huang Qi.
Chu Yiming was overjoyed.
Huang Qi however laughed. “What are you talking about, Lord? It’s just a bowl of snake soup. I don’t need your demon stones. I’ll buy it for you!”
As he spoke, didn’t even take the Demon Stone. He directly turned around and left!
“Hey! Wait a minute! Wait a minute!” Chu Yiming shouted as Huang Qi sped up!
However, Huang Qi darted out and directly flew away.
Chu Yiming held the demon stone in his hand as he stood rooted to the spot. He didn’t dare to chase after him, afraid that he would arouse Su Wen’s suspicion.
‘Idiot! This idiot! Why are you being so generous?’ Chu Yiming cursed in his heart.
Sensing Su Wen’s gaze, he sighed and turned to look at Su Wen. He forced a smile and said, “This Old Huang is too enthusiastic.”
Su Wen smiled and said, “Yiming, I’ve treated you well, right?”
“Errr!” Why did it sound like there was something wrong with his words?
Chu Yiming immediately shattered the note so there was no evidence, before he kept the Demon Stone.
He replied with a smile, “Lord Su is naturally very good to me.”
His heart was bleeding when he said this.
[Ding-dong. The host has received Chu Yiming’s resentment .+320 Emotional Value]
“Hehehehe!”
Even without the system notification, Su Wen knew that this fellow couldn’t wait for him to die.
“But you disappoint me,” Su Wen said calmly.
Chu Yiming’s heart raced when he heard those words!
Could it be that he had been seen through?
He had to deny it! There was no evidence anyway! Chu Yiming made up his mind.
He whispered, “May I know what’s wrong with my behavior?”
“What’s wrong with you? Have you been cultivating diligently these past few days?” Su Wen said with a pained expression, “Your talent is not bad, so why aren’t you cultivating diligently?”
“Come, let’s go out of the city. Today, I’ll give you a good lesson! The last time we fought, I could tell that your fighting technique could be further improved!”
“Harh?”
Chu Yiming looked at Su Wen suspiciously… Was this guy so kind-hearted?
Did he lose his mind?
Four hours later… Chu Yiming and Su Wen returned.
At this moment… Chu Yiming had changed into another set of clothes.
In the past four hours, Chu Yiming had suffered indescribable beatings and torture…
All the bones in his body had been shattered once…
Su Wen smashed it all the way, then wait for it to be repaired before smas.h.i.+ng it again…
To put it nicely, it was a martial arts spar.
Finally, Chu Yiming understood that Su Wen had not lost his mind.
Instead, Su Wen had planned to make him lose his mind!
In reality, Su Wen was an old schemer.
How could he not tell what Chu Yiming was thinking?
However, he did not expose him because there was not much difference in Su Wen’s perspective.
In any case, he couldn’t kill Chu Yiming.
Hence, Su Wen chose another path.
I’ll just watch you perform quietly and see what kind of different fireworks you can perform!
Since he was not honest, he had to bear the consequences.
As the two of them returned, they found out that others had also returned.
Huang Qi looked at Chu Yiming as he laughed loudly. “Demon Lord, I’ve bought the Demon Snake Soup you wanted. I also brought a portion for you, Lord Su.”
Su Wen looked at the bowl on the table and smiled. “Old Huang is so considerate.”
Chu Yiming looked at Huang Qi and gritted his teeth. “Thank you so much.”
Huang Qi was puzzled when he saw this. “Does the Demon Lord have a toothache? We Heaven Rank experts shouldn’t have a toothache, right? Why don’t you try taking a drink of cold water?”
Su Wen was about to burst into laughter.
This Old Huang was quite interesting. What a good time to say ‘drink some cold water’!
Chu Yiming was helpless as well. He stepped forward, picked up the snake soup, and gulped it down instead.
Su Wen smiled and said, “Yiming, eat slowly. No one is fighting with you for this. I’ll give mine to you as well. If your teeth are bad, you have to eat something soft.”
Huang Qi happily echoed, “Lord Su is right!”
After they finished chatting, Su Wen looked at everyone and asked, “Did you obtain anything?”
He did not have much hope. During this period of time, he had been disappointed countless times.
Everyone shook their heads. However, at this moment, a girl from the White Demon Tribe said, “I’ve obtained some information, but I don’t know if it’s true or false.”
Su Wen narrowed his eyes. “Speak!”
“Someone said that he saw a lord from the Heavenly Fiend Race ten days ago with an extremely beautiful woman from the Succubus Race.”
Su Wen frowned. “I’m asking about children! Human children!”
The white demon girl hurriedly continued, “They also brought with them a girl from the Succubus Race! That child was even carrying a demon bear toy!”
Su Wen was stunned when he heard this.
The Succubus Race…
They were the most similar race to humans.
In this race, there were many handsome men and beautiful women. It could be said that they were all blessed with great looks.
It was just that the Succubus Race had a slender tail.
Could the girl carrying the doll be Su Su?
Perhaps she had been put under disguise!
Su Wen had forgotten to consider this possibility.
After all, from the looks of it, he had no other clues to follow as well.
“Where did they headed?”
“I overheard them saying something about Tianyuan City!”
Tianyuan City was in fact the largest city of the Heavenly Fiend Tribe.
It was also where the ruler of the Heavenly Fiend Royal Family lived.
Even Chu Yiming frowned when he heard this.
He reminded, “It’s best if you don’t go to Tianyuan City. That’s the nest of the Heavenly Fiend Clan! Moreover, even though the Heavenly Fiend Clan doesn’t have any Emperor Rank experts at the moment, in terms of the number of 9th Grade Heaven Rank experts, they’re still above our Demonic Tribe! Once you go there and a conflict occurs, even if you’re strong, you might not survive.”
A cold smile appeared on Su Wen’s face. “You don’t have to worry about whether I live or not! Let’s go to Tianyuan City!”
…
On the other hand,
After a long journey, Su Su and Halles finally arrived at a swamp surrounded by black mist.
Su Su looked into the depths of the swamp.
She could clearly feel that what thing that was calling her was inside.
“Little Ha! Wait for me here. Don’t run around!”
Su Su instructed Halles.
Halles nodded honestly…
Su Su flew up and flew straight into the depths of the swamp. The moment Su Su entered, the black fog automatically separated.
Watching Su Su enter, Halles pondered for a moment before flying up as well and charging towards the black fog!
He wanted to see what was inside as well!
However, just as he entered the black fog, he felt a piercing pain all over his body!
The black fog could actually corrode one’s body!
Halles jumped in fright and quickly retreated!
Obviously, with his strength, it was impossible for him to charge in without consequences.
After pondering for a moment, Halles flapped his wings and flew in the direction of the Heavenly Fiend tribe’s camp!
“You’re dead, stupid girl! Do you really think I’ll wait for you? When I get back to the clan and find a Heaven Rank expert, I’ll smash your brains!”
During this time, Halles had been very obedient.
But he did not want to remain as Su Su’s mount all the time.
Halles flew farther and farther away.
Su Su, who was in the black fog, suddenly frowned and looked in the direction where Halles had flown towards.
She muttered to herself, “Little Ha is being disobedient! Annoying, then die!”
Bang!
The flying Halles suddenly felt his mind go blank!
He fell straight down from the sky!
The powerful mental bomb that was buried in his mind had exploded.
However, neither Su Su nor Halles knew… that Halles had a secret treasure on him!
Suddenly, flesh and blood separated from Halles’ chest. A black bead appeared, emitting a black light that protected his soul.
This bead saved Halles spirit and soul from dissipating!.
It had never occurred to Su Su that even though she had seen Halles’ memories, this thing was something that even the owner himself did not know.
This thing was called the Heavenly Fiend Pearl, and it was one of the Heavenly Fiend Tribe’s secret treasures. Even as the royal family of the Heavenly Fiend tribe, Halles did not have the qualifications to inherit this item.
However, Halles’ father had violated the tribe rules to secretly place this item on Halles. Meanwhile, he had not told anyone about it.
It would only appear when Halles was on the brink of death.
In the black fog, Su Su frowned.
She did not obtain any Heaven Earth Merit!
Halles was not dead?
“Little Ha, this bad guy, he actually has methods that I don’t know about. I’ve underestimated him.”
Big Su muttered to herself.
Little Su could not help but complain within her mind, “Big Sis, you’re the bad one. You didn’t even tell Little Ha that you set up a trap in his body.”
Big Su snorted. “Why should I tell him!”
“If he knows, he might not run anymore.”
“I already told him not to leave. Who told him to be disobedient? Besides, isn’t he still alive!”
Big Su rolled her eyes and said, “Forget about him, let’s continue walking in!”
That black fog clearly had no effect on Su Su.
Or rather, the black fog seemed to have some sort of spiritual awareness!
It took the initiative to avoid Su Su.
Su Su followed the black fog and flew for a long time. Finally, the scenery in front of her changed.
A mountain peak appeared, its huge peak piercing straight into the clouds. Its end was impossible to see.
On the mountain were lush forests.
After pa.s.sing through the black fog, Su Su seemed to have arrived at a completely new place.
Where was this place?
Su Su did not know, but the call in her consciousness seemed to be even stronger.
The calling was coming from the peak of the mountain.
Su Su flapped her wings and tried her best to fly up the mountain!
However, the more she flew, the greater the resistance,
Obviously, this thing was not so easy to obtain.
When Halles woke up a month later…
He realized that he had unknowingly became a 1st Grade Heaven Rank cultivator!
As for the Heavenly Fiend Pearl on his chest, it was also slowly emitting light.
On the other side, Su Su’s situation was completely different.
At this moment, Su Su was lying on a bed with her eyes closed.
The surroundings were filled with men, women, old, and young.
There were all sorts of people.
These people were all in human form. The only difference between them and humans was that they had pitch-black wings on their backs.
However, it was not like the wings of an angel.
It was instead a pair of fleshy wings that resembled the wings of the Heavenly Fiend tribe.
It was just that their skin and looks were closer to that of humans.
These people looked at the unconscious Su Su with respect.
An old man muttered, “For her to be able to come down from the Holy Spirit Mountain alive, it’s obvious that it’s definitely a chance for our Formless Sky Fiend tribe to re-emerge to the Demon Realm. We must take good care of her.”
“After so many years, no outsiders have been able to enter and we can’t leave either. This girl might not have come from outside.” Someone raised a different opinion!
The old man immediately slapped him!
“F** k, the Formless Realm is only a fart-sized place now. You’re telling me that she didn’t come in from outside? Did you gave birth to her then? Furthermore, have you seen anyone come down from the Holy Spirit Mountain alive?”
His eyes flashed with muttering as he said, “No matter what, this is our Formless Realm’s chance! Perhaps it’s our only chance! No one knows when this Formless Realm will be completely swallowed up! If this continues, we will only have death awaiting us!”
At this moment, outside, Halles had once again arrived in front of the black fog!
Now that he was a Heaven Rank cultivator, his confidence had skyrocketed!
He charged straight into the black fog!
However, it was no different from the first time. His body was still being corroded by the black mist!
Even with a Qi coating made through Heaven Earth Origin Qi, it was useless against the black fog.
(TL Note: Not to be confused with the Heaven Earth Origin Qi Barrier that 2nd Grade Heaven Ranks can form.)
His defenses were completely ignored by the black mist.
Halles was horrified! He could only turn around and fly away!
After exiting, he looked at the corroded flesh and blood on his body, causing him to shudder in fear once more!
“How did that d*mned girl get in?”
Halles was extremely displeased!
He was absolutely certain that Su Su didn’t have a Heaven Rank cultivation base.
However, Su Su had entered, yet he could not enter!
Furthermore, even the Heavenly Fiend Pearl on his chest was helpless against this black fog!
