Li Tuo's skills were superb, and Niu Chuanchuan woke up in just one day.
When Niu Chuanchuan was taken back to the demonic cultivators' territory, he was still conscious. Later, after being locked in a courtyard, they knocked him unconscious to prevent him from escaping.
When he opened his eyes, his gaze was blank.
Xi Tong, Li Tuo, and Bai Yu... no, the Child of Annihilation!
Niu Chuanchuan struggled to get up, but was held down by Li Tuo beside him. "Fellow Daoist Niu, you are not well yet. Lie down for a while. I will give you a set of acupuncture needles, and you will feel better."
Niu Chuanchuan's eyes widened as he pointed at Bai Yu Zhenjun, his mouth, which hadn't spoken in a long time, suddenly stammered.
"Silence, silence, the son of annihilation!"
"Alright, everyone knows that True Monarch Baiyu is the Son of Nirvana."
As Li Tuo spoke, he took out his golden needles. Seeing him staring intently at Bai Yu Zhenjun with wide eyes, and considering that he was Yan Qing's most loyal subordinate, she suddenly guessed what he meant.
"You wouldn't be thinking of taking True Monarch Baiyu back and handing him over to His Majesty, would you?"
"Yes, yes!"
Niu Chuanchuan's eyes gleamed with anticipation.
"Well... Niu Niu, there's something serious I have to tell you."
Li Tuo first sealed his acupoints with the first golden needle. Only after confirming that he could not move did he tell him, "Xi Tong and the Venerable One have temporarily fallen out. The Venerable One wants to kill Bai Yu Zhenjun, while Xi Tong wants to protect Bai Yu Zhenjun. You were unconscious at the time, and I didn't realize what was happening, so we ended up on Xi Tong's pirate ship."
He lowered his voice very low, but it was definitely loud enough for Niu Chuanchuan to hear.
"So stop talking about capturing Lord Baiyu, or we'll offend both of them and be caught in the middle."
Niu Chuanchuan was stunned upon hearing this.
His current expression is blank, and he looks exactly like someone who has been pierced by Li Tuo's golden needles and become stupid.
"Hey, I just wanted you to calm down, don't scare me."
Li Tuo patted his face, quickly removed the gold needles stuck in his body, and took out a specially made pill from his pocket.
"I'm fine, I'm just worried about Your Majesty."
Niu Chuanchuan's eyes were filled with tears, which amused Li Tuo, who had been anxious just moments before.
"His Majesty is eating and drinking well in the Heavenly Palace now, why do you need to worry about him? You'd be better off worrying about yourself. We're already fugitives among martial arts practitioners. If we're caught and taken back... the ending might be a bit tragic."
You don't understand.
Although Niu Niu is a rough man, he is occasionally thoughtful. "The two most important people to His Majesty have betrayed him. How heartbroken he must be right now."
Two important people?
Besides the fine barrel, who else is there?
Li Tuo was very self-aware, which is not referring to him, so Niu Chuanchuan is referring to himself.
Ugh... I feel nauseous.
"Fellow Daoist Niu, please don't worry."
He couldn't help but complain, "His Majesty has no one else in his heart but Xitong."
"Nonsense! While Xitong's status is indeed unmatched, I am still very confident that I hold a place in His Majesty's heart."
Niu Niu is still the same Niu Niu.
Li Tuo remained silent for a long time after hearing this statement, and then quietly said, "...No."
"You're just jealous."
Li Tuo looked at the golden needle in his hand and now felt a strong urge to stab him to death.
On the other side
Jia Xitong was sitting in the next room, where she had just discussed the next steps with Bai Yuzhenjun.
In the realm of demonic cultivators, there is a prison pool used to punish erring demonic cultivators.
This pool is magical. It is located deep in the mountains and forests and is covered with ice all year round. Most importantly, if a demonic cultivator falls in, his cultivation will be completely destroyed within three days to three months.
For this reason, it is considered the most severe punishment for demonic cultivators.
For demonic cultivators, it is punishment; for True Monarch Baiyu, it is rebirth.
"Then it's settled."
Jia Xitong clapped her hands and made a decision, "If Niu Niu can wake up within three days, that would be best. If he can't wake up, we'll buy some medicine and leave in three days."
Both demonic cultivators and martial cultivators are currently searching for them, so there's no need to linger in the town for too long.
The good news is that Niu Chuanchuan has woken up.
Jia Xitong had just finished speaking when she went next door and saw Li Tuo clutching his chest, looking like he was so angry he had a heart attack. Niu Chuanchuan was looking at him with a "you're just jealous" expression.
She paused at the doorway for a moment, then quickly came to her senses. "It's good that Niu Niu is awake. Everyone, get ready. We're leaving this afternoon for Qiu'an Pool."
The prison shore was neither too close nor too far from them.
Jia Xitong bought a map in town and arrived at the destination in just a few hours.
The so-called Prisoner's Pool is located deep in the mountains and forests, but surprisingly, a large number of people still live in these deep mountains and forests.
From the sky, the Prisoner's Pool and the surrounding dense forest and the area where people live form a two-ring shape with a central circle.
Prisoner's Pool was guarded, making it difficult for them to land directly.
Jia Xitong led the three of them to a dense forest not far away, and followed the path worn by people to an inhabited area.
A sign hangs at the entrance—Taoyuan (Peach Blossom Spring)
Just as Jia Xitong was about to praise the name for being so cultured, she heard a demonic cultivator who was being suppressed next to her sneer, "Heh, what paradise? It's just an exile area."
That's right, it's the exile zone.
All the demonic cultivators sentenced to severe punishment in the demonic cultivation territory were continuously sent here. Once these demonic cultivators entered the pool, they became ordinary people. Without their powerful physique and their magical abilities of flying and escaping, not to mention the long and arduous journey home, they were no match for the demonic beasts surrounding the dense forest.
Unable to return home, they were left with no choice but to live nearby.
As their numbers grew, they built villages around the area, which could even be called towns. This was also the only place in the demonic cultivation realm where ordinary people were everywhere.
"That's perfect."
Jia Xitong looked at Niu Chuanchuan and Li Tuo, "We are using spiritual power. If we really get into a fight with someone, it will be exposed immediately. The three of us should try our best to pretend to be ordinary people who have lost their demonic powers."
Having made up their minds, they calmly entered the circular town.
It was crowded with people, but extremely rudimentary.
Low houses made of mud and wood, and pedestrians on the road mostly wearing animal skins, are a reflection of poverty and destitution in this place.
Jia Xitong and his group searched for a long time before finally finding an inn where they could rest.
The interior was equally rudimentary.
There were three crooked stools in a small room, and two people were drinking tea inside.
The fierce-looking boss led them into the inner room, where there were only two rooms for resting. It seemed that three people would share one room, and Jia Xitong would have her own.
"Shopkeeper."
After putting down her luggage, Jia Xitong wanted to find someone to strike up a conversation with, "How do you usually get into that Prisoner's Pool?"
