Chapter 189 Arrested?! Qingyan patted his own...
Qingyan slapped his forehead before explaining, "I forgot to tell you. In the Cloud Sea Realm, most children are descendants of the demon race, while human cultivators can no longer reproduce once they officially enter the first realm, so a small number are descendants of the spirit race and the human race."
"This is also where the fairness of the Heavenly Dao lies. Humans are born with complete souls and all five elements, and reproduction is extremely easy, so cultivators cannot reproduce offspring."
"The Spirit Race is born with spiritual bodies and has a unique advantage of growing up in the Cloud Sea Realm. However, they have great difficulty reproducing, so the Spirit Race can barely be said to have descendants compared to the Human Race."
"The demon race is different. They are born with incomplete intelligence. Even though they reproduce far more than humans, only a very small number of them can embark on the path of cultivation. Therefore, the Cloud Sea Realm is full of demon descendants, but many of them are unable to enter the first realm and are sent to the human world."
"Therefore, the demon realm is dominated by demons. They do not approve of the cultivation path of the Cloud Sea Realm and instead choose the demon path that is more suitable for them."
"Therefore, the demon race in the Cloud Sea Realm is called the Demon Immortal Race."
Qingyan paused, then looked at the spirit race cubs protected by the array: "These children are too unstable to formally embark on the path of cultivation, but because they grew up in the Cloud Sea Realm, their bones and meridians are clear, they possess all five elements, and they also have a certain level of cultivation. As long as their temperament is stable, they can make rapid progress."
"His bones and meridians are clear, and he has a certain level of cultivation, but his temperament is unsettled..." Sang Zhitao murmured softly, and after a while, she looked up and asked Qingyan, "Isn't that the easiest to fool?"
Sang Zhitao thought of those teenagers on Earth who, after watching a few "Young and Dangerous" movies, became obsessed with gangsters and loyalty. At only sixteen or seventeen years old, they were most prone to getting carried away with their passion, and in the end, not only did they ruin their future, but they even lost their lives.
Qingyan was stunned for a moment, and the image of the most easily fooled young scholar in the mortal world came to mind. His expression immediately turned somewhat ugly.
"They can't possibly trick these kids into practicing the magic of the demon realm, can they?!"
Master Bai frowned and retorted repeatedly: "Impossible. Although the children of the Cloud Sea Realm cannot formally cultivate, they have been instructed by their teachers from childhood to adulthood. Not to mention, in order to prevent them from going astray, we have never stopped training their character."
"How many children does our Spirit Clan have in total?" Sang Zhitao glanced at the children inside the formation.
"The Spirit Clan has a total of twenty-six children, of whom five, aged fifteen to seventeen, have all gone missing. The Demon Clan has an unknown number of children, but twelve have gone missing. Although the Human Clan cannot reproduce, they have children brought from the human world. However, the various cave dwellings are not closely connected, so even the number of missing children is unknown."
Suddenly, a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes appeared in the suspended mirror on the high platform.
"Madam Li." Apart from Sang Zhitao and Qingyan, everyone present nodded slightly to show their respect.
Madam Li looked at Sang Zhitao: "Uncle Tao, according to the information we have received so far, there are at least a dozen missing human children, but the exact number is still unclear. Have you made any discoveries?"
After a moment's thought, Sang Zhitao said, "Nothing for now. We can only detect that there's something amiss in this location."
After thinking for a moment, Sang Zhitao explained, "I suspect that person had a scent that could knock out the children before they made their move."
As she spoke, she described the scent she had just smelled, as well as the scent the spirit girl had described as her brother's scent before he left.
Madam Li's eyes showed a hint of joy: "It's already excellent to have made this discovery. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Tao. You've only just arrived and you've already made such a discovery. Let Master Bai Ling take you to rest. We'll discuss the details when we return tonight."
After giving Bai Lingshi detailed instructions on how to take good care of the two junior uncles, Madam Li then planned to disconnect.
"What's that smell?!" Qingyan suddenly asked, sniffing hard.
Sang Zhitao reacted instantly and pulled her back, shouting, "Watch out!!"
But it was still too slow. Her body seemed to be swallowed up by something, and she quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Tao Tao!" Qing Yan reached out to grab her, but felt his hand gradually empty.
Just as Qingyan's pupils turned red and dragon scales vaguely appeared on her cheeks, several green tentacles suddenly appeared on Sang Zhitao's back. Before Qingyan could react, the tentacles wrapped around her waist and then disappeared with her and Sang Zhitao into the Spirit Clan classroom.
"Junior Uncle!" Madam Li's expression changed drastically. Then her hair stood on end, and her elaborate hairpins flew everywhere. Behind her, a huge flower could be vaguely seen revealing sharp teeth.
The White Spirit Masters reacted quickly, taking action to stop Sang Zhi Tao from being devoured. Nearly half of the Spirit Masters protecting the child also stood up to intercept them.
But just like the previous times, their actions did not affect the speed of their devouring at all.
Leaving aside the chaos on the Spirit Clan's side, let's just talk about Sang Zhitao's side.
She felt her body being pulled into a vortex, constantly tumbling around, making her feel like she was being thrown into a washing machine.
Qingyan, who was following behind her, was stronger than her. With his profound cultivation, he quickly stabilized himself in the vortex.
She immediately flew to Sang Zhitao's side and steadied her: "Are you alright, Taotao?"
Sang Zhitao didn't reply to her immediately. Instead, she clutched her chest and vomited for a long time.
However, she didn't vomit anything. After all, she was already a cultivator, and her digestion was much better than that of an ordinary person.
After vomiting for about five or six minutes, Sang Zhitao finally stood up in front of Qingyan, her eyes somewhat dazed.
"Are you alright now?" Qingyan asked, supporting her with concern in his eyes.
Sang Zhitao waved her hands repeatedly: "I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy."
"This is even more of a spiral slide than a spiral slide."
"Huh?" Qingyan looked bewildered upon hearing her words.
Sang Zhitao didn't explain further, but glanced around and asked, "Where is this?"
Qingyan shook her head: "I don't know."
"Fight back?" Sang Zhitao asked directly.
Qingyan thought for a moment and said, "Let's not. I feel that the spatial energy here is chaotic. If we're not careful, we might be torn apart by the space."
Hearing her say that, Sang Zhitao stopped talking, sighed softly, and waited to leave this space.
“Waiting is one option; they can’t keep the children here forever.” Qingyan glanced at her, a fierce glint in her eyes. “If I ever see them, I’ll kill them.”
As the two were talking, their eyes lit up and they found themselves in a forest.
"Where is this?" Sang Zhitao looked at Qingyan with a confused expression.
Qingyan is, after all, one of the big shots, and one who has been wandering the Three Realms for a long time. Asking her is much better than making wild guesses on your own.
“...The human world.” Qingyan uttered two words with an extremely ugly expression.
"Why can't we find them in the Cloud Sea Realm when they were brought to the mortal realm?" Sang Zhitao repeated incredulously.
"Someone's coming!" Before Qingyan could reply, she sensed footsteps approaching from not far away.
"I don't know if I'm taking you away, so pretend to be unconscious for now," Qingyan whispered, before casting a spell to leave.
"Yes, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Sang Zhitao nodded and prepared to lie down.
But Qingyan didn't leave. Instead, she poked Sang Zhitao speechlessly and said, "Take your things away."
Sang Zhitao looked bewildered: "Huh?"
Qingyan sighed helplessly and pointed to the green tentacles on his waist and abdomen.
Sang Zhitao followed her movements and looked down, only to find that the tentacles that had appeared from her back were wrapped around Qingyan's waist.
Her face flushed red with embarrassment, and she quickly withdrew her tentacles, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
“…Alright then.” Qingyan was about to ask her why she was a phoenix, a member of the Feathered Clan, and why she had tentacles unique to sea creatures.
But the footsteps in the distance grew closer and closer, so she could only suppress her doubts and quickly dart up a tree, casting several concealment spells on herself.
Sang Zhitao lay on the cool grass, feeling several people slowly walking towards her. They were probably bending down to look her over, their warm breaths brushing against her face.
After a long while, she vaguely felt the other person's gaze shift away from her. Then, the two people lifted her onto a chair, and then the group quickly carried her away.
She could hear the chirping of insects and birds, feel the grass and trees brushing past her, and feel the wind gently caressing her cheeks, bringing a familiar scent that almost made her lose control of her breath.
Just as she was about to take a closer look at this aura to see if it was the one she was thinking of, the gentle aura that the Spirit Clan had sensed, which made them feel like they were back in their mother's womb, suddenly came over her.
Sang Zhitao could no longer control her mind and could only silently fall into a peaceful sleep.
Qingyan hid in the tree, his face extremely ugly as he watched several demons, who were not very human-like, carry a sedan chair, place Sang Zhitao on it, and carry it away.
She followed quietly, her already unpleasant face becoming even more unsightly when she saw Sang Zhitao's suddenly relaxed body and the expression on her face that resembled that of a sleeping infant.
A dark, oppressive aura surrounded her. Her fingers dug tightly into the tree trunk she was gripping, and the murderous intent in her eyes almost overflowed.
After walking for about an hour, Qingyan saw a strange door appear inexplicably deep in the forest.
The door wasn't large, and its color was similar to the surrounding environment, but it exuded an eerie feeling that made her extremely uncomfortable.
They watched as several demons carried Sang Zhitao and threw her into the doorway.
Qingyan hurriedly jumped into the sedan chair and deftly cast a lightness spell on herself in mid-air.
In an instant, it floated lightly on the hem of Sang Zhitao's clothes, like a feather.
The scene behind the door was not the demon realm that Qingyan had imagined; on the contrary, it was filled with vibrant green and pristine white.
Many lost children are here; they stand or sit, gather together or scatter in various places, playing and laughing happily.
They didn't even notice them coming in, nor did they glance at them.
"Tao Tao, Tao Tao!" Qing Yan didn't dare to make any rash moves.
Her first principle is to protect Tao Tao, and she will not abandon this principle as long as the children's lives are not in danger.
