Chapter 51 The Ancient Artifact Shattered

They had never felt such a powerful and domineering aura.

However, she's just a young girl; it's impossible for her to be that powerful. Her ability to sweep through Ghost Valley last time was purely coincidental. Yao Qingfeng and Shangguan Peiyu would never admit that Yu Xiaoluo's strength surpasses theirs, or rather, far exceeds theirs.

After all, this is a very embarrassing thing.

Yao Qingfeng felt a little flustered, but he still tried to remain calm. "What, Yu Xiaoluo! Do you still want to go on a killing spree here?"

"If you dare kill my pet, I dare kill you!" Yu Xiaoluo said, enunciating each word clearly. "Open the demon-suppressing cage!"

Yao Qingfeng was intimidated by her imposing manner and looked at Shangguan Peiyu with a troubled expression.

How could Shangguan Peiyu easily miss this opportunity? While shouting loudly, she started a live broadcast, "Look, look! Yu Xiaoyao has raised two demonic pets, and they are both poisonous. She is a monster and definitely not a good person. Don't be fooled by her appearance."

Yu Liang hadn't expected that his sister had not just two, but four demonic pets. However, he couldn't bear to see someone bullying his sister like this.

"It's just a pet. My sister's pet has always been very well-behaved, never hurting or harming anyone. And what other people keep is none of your business. Did you get our permission to keep a dog? Just because we don't agree doesn't mean you can't keep one. Mind your own business and stop interfering with others!"

"This is no ordinary pet, it's a demon! How can they be the same!" Yao Qingfeng said righteously.

Sensing that Xuanwu and Little Toad's life force was getting weaker and weaker, Yu Xiaoluo stopped talking and stretched out her palm, gathering a ball of purple light. The ball of light emitted a dazzling light and moved towards the Demon Suppression Cage. Then, the purple aura enveloped the entire Demon Suppression Cage, shining brightly and attracting attention.

Yao Qingfeng felt a bone-chilling cold emanating from the cage and reaching his hand. His hand trembled, and the demon-suppressing cage fell to the ground, but the purple ball remained.

The purple ball kept shrinking and expanding, expanding and shrinking again, as if trying to open the cage.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Peiyu sneered, "This is a demon-suppressing cage, an ancient divine artifact made from the shell of the Northern Sea Black Tortoise, with demon-suppressing talismans forming the array. You think you can open it? Truly—"

But before she could finish speaking, there was a loud "bang" and the cage exploded!

Fragments flew everywhere. The instant it shattered, the ant-like, dark-patterned runes mysteriously vanished, leaving only dark red fragments scattered haphazardly on the ground.

The little clams and Xuanwu flew into Yu Xiaoluo's palm the moment they broke free of the cage, and then Yu Xiaoluo carefully put them into her cloth bag.

Shangguan Peiyu stared at the scene in disbelief, thinking she was seeing things, and rubbed her eyes vigorously.

However, the cage was gone, leaving only fragments on the ground.

This is her family's heirloom, passed down from her grandfather. After she became the head of the Shangguan family, her grandfather handed it over to her.

That's it? Gone?

Looking at the shards scattered on the ground, she finally realized the truth: her demon-suppressing cage was truly gone.

She felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground, her phone falling to the floor. She had no heart to continue the live stream. "Yu Xiaoluo, you actually destroyed my demon-suppressing cage! I will not let you get away with this!"

Shangguan Peiyu roared with all her might, completely disregarding her image at this moment.

Yu Xiaolu stared at her, her tone icy, "If anything happens to my pets, the fate of the Demon-Suppressing Cage will be your fate!"

After saying that, she turned and left.

Yu Liang swung his fist triumphantly at Shangguan Peiyu and Yao Qingfeng, then hurriedly followed behind her.

It was the first time he had ever seen his usually good-tempered sister so angry, and the explosive power she could unleash when she was angry was terrifying. He was a little uneasy.

Shangguan Peiyu watched their retreating figures, gritting her teeth, her eyes filled with malice.

————————

Back in the car, Yu Xiaoluo took them out and carefully laid them flat on her lap. Little Zhuzhu cried sadly, "Brother Haha and Brother Xuanwu, do you hurt?"

Even the usually proud and aloof Fairy Fairy softened, saying, "Let me touch you."

As he spoke, he actually touched it, but the frog screamed, "Your claws are full of thorns, it hurts!"

Little Fairy silently withdrew her claws.

"Stop messing around, I'll do it."

Yu Xiaoluo stretched out her hand, and a surge of abundant spiritual energy overflowed from her palm, covering the little toad and Xuanwu completely, continuously channeling the spiritual energy into their bodies.

In a short while, their wounds began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, until they were completely healed and no trace of the wounds could be seen. The two little demons also regained their original lively and energetic appearance.

She then withdrew her hand.

At this moment, she looked slightly tired.

This scene left Yu Liang dumbfounded. He wondered if, one day, he was about to die, his sister's skill might bring him back to life.

He suddenly felt that having such a younger sister around made his chances of survival in dangerous situations much, much higher, and he had a premonition that he could live to be eighty-eight.

Thinking about this, he felt inexplicably happy and secretly chuckled.

"Xuanwu, what exactly happened? How did they capture you?" Yu Xiaoluo's voice softened, returning to its usual tone.

"We crouched in the green belt, keeping an eye on things. Little Frog and I were together. Sometimes when Shangguan Peiyu was about to go out, we'd follow her. But during the day, she mostly went to her fortune-telling shop or did odd jobs for others. At night, we took turns getting up, one resting while the other kept watch. The night before last, while I was sleeping, Little Frog was on duty—"

At this point, he looked at the little toad.

Little Frog said, "It was quite late then. Shangguan Peiyu was about to go out, so I called Xuanwu, but he didn't wake up. So I was jumped into the car. But I was probably in too much of a hurry, and I made a noise. Shangguan Peiyu seemed to notice me."

"She got out of the car again and took out that cage. I had no idea that the cage was so powerful, nor did I know it was a demon-suppressing cage—when she opened the cage and chanted a spell at me, I felt that powerful force suppressing me. I sensed danger, and I felt like I was having trouble breathing; it was extremely uncomfortable—"

"I wanted to escape with Xuanwu first, but we were too late. Shangguan Peiyu caught us. Xuanwu woke up when he heard the fighting and rushed towards the demon-suppressing cage to save me—"
