Chapter 210 Song Yin: A bunch of lousy idiots, the timing is off...
"We've arrived?" Chu Tang first observed her surroundings, and after seeing the scene before her, her stomach churned. "Ugh!"
What a Blood Demon Pool! It's clearly a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood! The water is blood red, filled with skeletons that stretch as far as the eye can see, bubbling and churning like boiling water. The mountains on both sides are also piles of bones, death shrouding this area, and there is no living thing except them.
Mo You's expression changed repeatedly, as if he too could not accept the scene before him.
This was the first time Song Yin had ever seen such a scene. As expected of the Demon Clan's territory, it was very Demonic. However, she was more accepting than her disciple. Turning to look at the others, their expressions were more or less unpleasant.
"Are you alright?" Song Yin asked Shi Heming beside her, because his face looked rather pale, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.
Fear was revealed in Shi Heming's eyes. What could have caused him to be afraid? Was it the scene before him? No, perhaps it wasn't that reason, but something else.
Shi Heming held Song Yin's hand tightly, and his eyes were fixed on her.
Looking at Xia Xining, she was rather strange; she had suddenly sat down cross-legged and started cultivating.
Wait, cultivation?!
Song Yin used her other hand, which wasn't being held, to grip Shi Heming's wrist, intending to check his physical condition. A few seconds later, Song Yin looked at her own palm in surprise.
How could this be? Her spiritual energy is unusable, and her abilities seem to have been completely stripped away in the blink of an eye. Now she is no different from an ordinary person.
How could she, who carries two spiritual veins with her, have no spiritual energy?
Song Yin suddenly turned around and looked at Mo You: "What's going on? Why can't I use spiritual energy?!"
Mo You waved his hand and shook his head, "I can't use my demonic energy either. All abilities that rely on demonic or spiritual energy will disappear in the Blood Demon Pool."
The mountain of corpses and sea of blood before her eyes constantly reminded Song Yin that no one could be safe in this environment. Without cultivation and spiritual energy, they were no different from lambs to the slaughter. "Do you think we can cross the Blood Demon Pool smoothly in this situation without our abilities? You said we only needed to be careful of our inner demons, and you never said that losing control of our spiritual energy would put us in danger!"
Mo Jin: "I never expected it to turn out like this!" He was on the verge of collapse. "When will you alien beings stop having such stereotypes about us demons?!"
"The environment surrounding the Blood Demon Pool changes according to the mental state of the trainees. Originally, it was just a small pool of red water in a beautiful place, no more than one meter deep. Since there are many of you, the Blood Demon Pool must change according to the thoughts of the majority of living beings. The scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood is based on what your hearts are showing!"
Mo Jin frantically scratched his head, which quickly turned into a red mess. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Ling Zixian walking towards the mountain of corpses beside him. "Hey, hey, he's moving! Stop him quickly!"
Song Yin immediately tried to stop the person, but before she could move, Shi Heming forcibly pulled her to the spot.
"Xiao Tang, stop Ling Zixian quickly!"
Upon receiving the order, Chu Tang turned around and rushed forward to stop the person, pulling and dragging Ling Zixian back to his original position.
Ling Zixian refused to listen, waving his arms and kicking while shouting, "Don't stop me! Don't stop me! I want to take over as the young sect leader! I want to be the sect leader!"
Shouting and yelling, he showed no decorum whatsoever of a direct disciple of the main peak. Due to the violent swinging motions, his clothes became disheveled, and the hem of his robe was even kicked off and landed on his head, instantly obscuring his vision.
With his view blocked, Ling Zixian was initially still, then struggled even more violently, but Chu Tang restrained him from behind. Without spiritual energy, both were sword cultivators, and Ling Zixian was trapped in his inner demons. Chu Tang, being below the Golden Core stage, had not yet developed her own inner demons. With these combined factors, Chu Tang managed to restrain the crazed Ling Zixian.
Han Wuyue stood there, muttering to herself, "I must cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness. Just because that cowardly Xiao Daiheng couldn't do it doesn't mean I can't. Who says few people can cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness? I can! I'll cultivate, I'll cultivate, I'll cultivate, cultivate, cultivate, cultivate, cultivate, cultivate..."
"Huh? You like me? Get lost, don't interfere with my cultivation. I'm determined to cultivate to the Path of Ruthlessness! I have great love, I don't favor anyone! I'll cultivate, cultivate, cultivate, cultivate..."
Shen Yuzhu picked up his sword and slashed wildly at the air, yelling, "Get out! I'll kill you all! I'll burn the Shen family down and grind you to ashes! I'll kill, kill, kill, kill!"
Xia Xining closed her eyes and began cultivating, constantly brainwashing herself: "I love cultivation, and cultivation loves me; I love cultivation, and cultivation loves me..."
Just then, she felt a dampness on the back of her hand. Song Yin turned her head and saw Shi Heming crying again. Despite not being affected by the negative emotions of the first layer of the Blood Demon Cave, he was crying even more severely than if he had been affected. Most importantly, this guy was actually using her hand to wipe his tears!
Song Yin felt a wave of frustration. She wanted to take out the recording stone to record it, but unfortunately, she couldn't, as the recording stone required spiritual energy.
She asked Mo You helplessly, "What should we do next?"
After a long silence, she looked closely and saw a mysterious smile on Mo You's lips.
Mo You: "Ha! Haha! The Demon Emperor has ascended the throne, why are you all still not kneeling! Don't be in such a hurry, I'll seal your titles and distribute them to you. Those who support me will have positions in the Demon Realm, don't worry, no one will be missed!"
Song Yin took a deep breath, and looked up at the sky helplessly.
Haha! What a bunch of lousy bastards!
Chu Tang: "Master..."
Song Yin looked at Chu Tang and said with emotion, "That's great, it wasn't a complete annihilation. I don't mean anything by it, the cultivators of Danque Peak are just that strong."
Is she really Aotian after all this awful ordeal? I suddenly feel like the protagonist of a comedy novel.
A world-destroying battle? No way. Who would fight you every day? Everyone's busy cultivating and has no time for you.
There are actually a lot of funny and bizarre things and people.
The most important thing now is to bind these people and demons trapped in their inner demons, and then find a way to cross the sea of blood before them. If she had spiritual energy, she could use her storage bag, which is filled with all sorts of things collected over hundreds of years.
The storage bag is unusable, the storage ring is also unusable, and all these items that use spiritual energy are unusable.
What should we do now? Swim them across? Laughable, they can't possibly swim there. Go around them from the shore? No, the Blood Demon Pool requires trainees to enter; otherwise, it's considered a failure.
If only there were a space that didn't require spiritual energy...
No spiritual energy needed? She actually does! The Langhuan Grotto-Heaven bound to the soul!
As everyone knows, divine sense is divine sense, and spiritual energy is spiritual energy; the two are not directly related. Mo You said that spiritual energy and demonic energy cannot be used here, but he didn't say that divine sense cannot be used!
Song Yin activated her divine sense: It can be used!
She immediately picked out several ropes from the Langhuan Cave Heaven. They were all magical artifacts, but unfortunately, they couldn't be controlled by spiritual energy.
Song Yin tossed the rope to Chu Tang: "Next, tie Ling Zixian up first."
Chu Tang didn't ask where the rope came from; in her eyes, her master was omnipotent. Taking the rope, she quickly bound the man destined to become the sect leader of the Immortal Cloud Sect.
Ling Zixian was still struggling, "Why are you tying me up? Let me go!"
The ropes were long enough to be joined together, linking these people trapped in their inner demons with the demons themselves.
Song Yin added, "You go into the water first to test the depth. Mo You said the deepest it can be is only one meter. Once you're sure, we'll wade across."
Chu Tang stepped into the red water. She realized that the scene before her was fake; the real Blood Demon Pool was not like this.
Chu Tang stood by the water's edge, swallowing hard. She lifted her foot to tentatively dip it into the boiling, bubbling water. The next moment, her pupils dilated, and she immediately said to Song Yin, "Master, the water isn't hot! Some of the skeletons soaking in it are illusions, while others are real."
Song Yin pondered, "The environment here changes according to our state of mind. Now, you, me, and Mo You all know that it shouldn't be a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, so some of the skeletons in the water will disappear."
Song Yin pulled Shi Heming and led a string of people and demons into the water. They tentatively took a few steps forward, then used their divine sense to confirm that there was no danger ahead before starting to move forward.
Fortunately, she also stored some high-grade pills in Langhuan Cave Heaven. She took out a pill to suppress her inner demons and instructed Chu Tang: "Give each of them one pill, and feed them again after two hours."
Chu Tang took the pill and walked at the back, feeding it to Xia Xining first, saying, "Senior Xia, it's time to take your medicine."
Song Yin suddenly turned around.
Chu Tang looked bewildered: "Master, are there any other questions?"
Song Yin turned around and said, "No, there's no problem." She fed Shi Heming the pill and observed his changes.
"Shi Heming?"
"Hmm." Shi Heming responded, still not quite sober, and buried his head in Song Yin's neck after answering.
Song Yin gently patted his head: "Wake up, just come with me for the rest of the journey."
Shi Heming buried his head and rubbed against him, "Mmm."
After being fed the pills, these people and demons trapped in their inner demons could at least understand what was said, and they could also listen to instructions on how to walk.
They walked for a long time but still couldn't see the edge of the Blood Demon Pool.
"Isn't it supposed to be a small pool of water? It feels like I've been walking for hours and still can't reach the end." Song Yin possesses the power of the Great Dao Laws, so she is quite sensitive to the passage of time.
Chu Tang was different. She was puzzled after hearing this. "Has it been a long time? But I feel like it hasn't even been half an hour, and I don't feel like I've used up any energy."
Song Yin stopped in her tracks. "You feel like it hasn't even been an hour?"
Chu Tang nodded.
Song Yin: "But I feel like four or five hours have passed."
Chu Tang: "How could that be?" For no reason, a chill ran down her spine.
Song Yin: "Let's keep going. Pay attention to the time."
Chu Tang: "Okay."
After a long while, Song Yin asked Chu Tang, "How much time do you feel has passed?"
Chu Tang: "About fifteen minutes."
A quarter of an hour is fifteen minutes, but she felt like they had walked for almost ten hours.
After thinking for a moment, Song Yin understood the problem.
She gave Chu Tang another bottle of high-grade pills to suppress her inner demons, saying, "Feed all of them to Mo You. I need to ask him some questions."
Mo You was fed many pills along the way, and had several moments of lucidity, but unfortunately, they didn't last long before he fell into chaos again.
Chu Tang: "Huh? But I've already fed him pills many times in the last quarter of an hour."
Song Yin: "There's a problem with the timing."
Mo Ying, on her way to the Blood Demon Pool, still ordered her subordinates to surround the area around the Blood Demon Pool, not giving any of her brothers or sisters a chance to take advantage.
She paced anxiously around the Blood Demon Pool, wondering, "What's going on? Half a day has passed, why haven't they shown up yet?"
It's normal that the Blood Demon Cave is in the mountains and can't be seen, but the Blood Demon Pool is in the open air, so you could actually stand around and observe it. However, when they arrived at the Blood Demon Pool, there were no people or demons there.
Mo Ying assumed they had successfully crossed the Blood Demon Pool, since it would take time for her group of demons to get there. However, the demons she sent back reported that Mo You and the others hadn't returned. She then sent her subordinates to search the vicinity, but they found nothing.
Given this situation, Mo Ying guessed that they hadn't reached the Blood Demon Pool yet, so she waited nearby.
They waited and waited, half a day passed, but they still didn't see the demon and the person they wanted to see.
The eldest prince, Mo Jin, was the happiest, forcibly suppressing his smile. He transmitted his voice to Jing Yue: "Thank you for your help today, senior."
Mo Jin attributed his inability to wait for these people and demons to Jing Yue's intervention, which sent them away from the Demon Realm. Otherwise, why couldn't he find them or wait for them?
Jing Yue was puzzled. When had she helped Mo Jin?
Mo Ying asked Jing Yue, "Senior, do you know the reason?" Her meaning was clear: she suspected that Jing Yue had tampered with things and sent Mo You to another world.
Jing Yue: "I didn't lay a hand on them. You're all overthinking it."
What? !
