Chapter 187: Uncovering the Identity (Additional Update)
The beast tide has been resolved.
On the way back to the city, Yu Ze looked at Si Ye and said, "There are quite a few of these monsters, but their realms are generally not high. I can take the city guards with me and take them out with some time. But there's no need for you, a royal beast, to come all the way here to help. Tell me the truth, do you have other things to do?"
Sang Luo kept silent with a sullen face. Si Ye thought she was injured. After checking that she was fine, he replied, "I really can't hide it from you. I'm looking for a high-level demon this time. I heard that he appeared in the tribe outside Liaoshou City."
"Tell me about it, maybe I can help a little."
Si Ye briefly recounted the whole story.
"I think I've seen the man you're talking about." Yu Ze pulled out a wanted poster and tossed it to him. "All the orcs from the Ninggong tribe disappeared overnight. Some time ago, when my father and I were investigating, we discovered that this man's movements were elusive, and he even revealed his demonic energy after our fight. Unfortunately, we weren't able to capture him. Father gathered all the beast kings and issued a wanted poster, summoning many talented individuals, but there's been no good news, and many orcs from the tribe continue to go missing. It's a good thing you came along and helped us resolve this urgent matter."
Si Ye looked at the wanted poster and said, "Yes, it's him. Do you have any other clues?"
"This man was last seen in Gukou City," Yu Ze said. "Ever since the wanted order was issued, he's become more cautious and rarely shows up in his true form. Three days ago, he disguised himself as a farmer transporting goods and crossed the city forest to a tribe."
…
Gukou City.
As soon as Sang Luo landed, he smelled the familiar rotten stench. There were many nests of blood demon puppets hidden in this place!
She and Si Ye went straight to Huanglong and destroyed two underground tombs.
As I headed towards the third tomb, I ran into a man in a black cloak. A dozen corpses lay in a row at his feet. He looked at the person outside and said in a sinister, low voice, "A bunch of annoying ants, they actually chased me here!"
Yu Ze rushed forward with bloodshot eyes and punched Yu Cang, but he disappeared in front of his eyes like a phantom in an instant.
Boom——
The entire tomb collapsed. Si Ye said "Oh no!", smashed the closed stone door, and quickly carried Sang Luo back to the ground.
Yu Ze and Hao Yue followed closely and escaped.
Several people followed the fleeing demons.
Si Ye was halfway through the chase when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at Hao Yue beside him and his face turned cold, "Why is it you?!"
…
Sang Luo followed behind Yu Ze, walking through the dirt path in the deep forest.
The air was very quiet, and the only sound was the crunching of fallen leaves under the two people's feet.
Si Ye and Hao Yue are missing.
They were separated by the illusion.
From time to time, red-eyed black birds flew overhead, making strange calls.
Yu Ze in front of her suddenly stopped, and Sang Luo almost bumped into his back. The man turned around and looked at her with a smile, "If you are scared, you can hold my hand."
He held out his hand to her.
Sang Luo saw that his hands were pale and almost bloodless under the moonlight.
"I'm not interested in males who are already engaged." Sang Luo stared at him, smirking. Yu Ze didn't care and took two steps towards her. "Hao Yue doesn't like me either. I can break off the engagement, come with me, and give me a child."
"nausea."
Sang Luo left a word and strode forward.
"You're quite temperamental." Yu Ze touched his mouth and followed him, "You can't get out of this illusion."
"That may not be the case." The other party's cultivation was higher than hers, and Sang Luo wasted some time breaking the illusion.
The turbid air cleared up instantly.
Yu Ze stopped where he was and didn't move forward. He stared at her back and murmured softly, "Such strong fertility and talent. If I could have you..."
His voice was blown away by the wind in an instant. Sang Luo heard it clearly with her mental power. Her body stiffened for a moment, and then she walked away as if nothing had happened.
"Luoluo!" Si Ye came back quickly.
He held a bloody head in his hands.
He personally chopped off Yu Cang's head, threw it on the ground, and it turned into a wisp of black gas and dissipated.
The two groups returned to the city and went their separate ways.
Sang Luo wanted to stay in the city for two more days, so Si Ye stayed with her.
At night, Sang Luo lay on top of him and asked, "Aye, what do you think of Yu Ze's character?"
"Very honest and upright."
"...Could you have made a mistake?"
"Think about my natural ability. No lie can escape the eyes of justice."
"Have you used the Eye of Judgment on him?"
"No, I never use this ability on people I'm close to or trust."
"...With your personality, you are too easy to suffer losses." Sang Luo sighed.
Si Ye's tone suddenly turned cold, "What happened? Tell me, did he do something to you?"
A few days ago at the inn, Si Ye noticed that Yu Ze had some bad intentions towards her, but after all, they were brothers who had grown up together, and he was also engaged, so he didn't want to question his character.
Sang Luo was shocked. "He touched my hand, what should I do?"
Si Ye was furious and immediately got dressed and got out of bed, "I'm going to the Tianhu tribe right now and kill him!"
Sang Luo hurriedly pulled Si Ye back to the bed, "He is not Yu Ze."
"You mean, someone's disguising him? ...The aura he exudes is correct. He and I grew up together, so there's no way I'm going to mistake that."
"I used the Eye of Judgment on him. Guess I saw it?"
Si Ye said nothing and looked into her eyes.
Sang Luo continued, "I didn't see anything."
Si Ye had a strange look on his face. The Eye of Judgment could distinguish truth from lies, but it was useless on one type of person... the dead who had lost their minds.
"Luoluo, you have a guess in your mind. Just tell me, who is 'he'?"
"One of the Seven Demon Envoys, Yu Cang."
Si Ye frowned, but he wasn't too surprised. The "Yu Cang" he killed last time was too easy. The Seven Demon Envoys couldn't have only this much strength. "But how can you be sure it's him?"
"Fei Yuan said that Yu Cang has the innate ability of parasitism. I guess he uses it to disguise his identity. Last time in the illusion, I heard him say that he wanted to parasitize my body and wanted me to bear his child." Sang Luo felt a chill at the thought. "This guy is quite perverted. From what I heard, he didn't mean to let me give birth. He wanted to occupy my body to get close to you."
Si Ye's expression grew uglier. "He was the mastermind behind the last illusion. He wanted to use it to take your body away."
"Well, Yu Cang used illusion to separate us, but you were still nearby at the time. If he attacked me, you would have felt it immediately, so he didn't dare to act rashly. He wanted to use the illusion to transfer me and then find another opportunity to attack. But he didn't expect that I could also use illusion, so he missed this opportunity."
Si Ye was afraid, "If the person beside me had a different soul that day, and I didn't even notice..."
"Guess who's staring at you right now, is it me or Yu Cang?"
Si Ye got goosebumps and quickly covered her mouth, "Luoluo, don't make that joke!"
I will update more late, and continue to update during the day~
