Chapter 452 Irene's "Harvest"
Everything related to Yu Sheng and the people around him seemed to develop in unexpected directions to a greater or lesser extent - Master Yuan Ling still remembered that Director Baili Qing mentioned this when he contacted him, and now he obviously has a deeper understanding of this sentence.
The ominous wandering star that had been suppressed underground in the Taixu Lingshu for three thousand years without any weakness, and had no weaknesses other than being suppressed by the Taixu ground veins, was shattered to the ground by the half-meter-tall puppet next to Yu Sheng, leaving only a fist-sized ball floating in the air. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, if someone had told him about this, his first reaction would definitely be to kick it to the ground, then stuff half a pound of Qingxin Yizhi Pills into its mouth, and take two bowls of Anshen Soup with it, three times a day...
"About this ball..." Yuan Ling Zhenren blinked his eyes and looked at the gray-white stone ball floating next to Irene. He organized his words several times but didn't know how to express his feelings at the moment. In the end, he could only utter, "Let me check it first."
Yu Sheng grabbed the ball in mid-air and handed it to Yuan Ling Zhenren: "Then you can check it."
When grabbing the stone ball, Yu Sheng felt a slight resistance, but the resistance was not great. It seemed that because Irene was right next to it, the stone ball behaved quite "honestly".
Zhenren Yuan Ling took the stone ball with a strange expression, and with his other hand he made hand gestures and chanted a spell, then he summoned out an ancient bronze mirror of unknown function, and shone the stone ball into it. After studying it for a long time, he called Yuan Hao, who was watching the fun nearby, over, and the two of them got together to observe and discuss, chattering on a bunch of technical terms so that no one could understand.
The grayish-white ball with bumps that looked like a miniature planet was tossed back and forth by the two old men. Apart from trying to float towards Irene from time to time, it showed no resistance. It was extremely obedient - especially compared to the terrifying and violent "Ominous Wandering Planet" before.
Irene sat on Yu Sheng's shoulder, and the two of them stared at the scene. After a long while, Yu Sheng poked Irene's head with his finger: "Do you have any ideas?"
"Ideas? What ideas can I have?" Irene stared blankly, "I don't know what's going on! Let me make it clear first, if they ask me to pay for it later, I really can't afford it... I only have such a little pocket money every day..."
"Who told you this? I mean the connection between you and Omen Yuxing," Yu Sheng rolled his eyes, "Do you remember what Omen Yuxing said before? The part about the Omen Goddess..."
Irene opened her eyes wide and looked straight at Yu Sheng, then shuddered exaggeratedly: "Hey - don't say such outrageous things!"
Yu Sheng didn't say anything else, but just raised his hand and gently patted the little doll's back.
Irene curled her lips, then stared into the distance in a daze.
Not far away, Snake Princess was quietly stretching herself out. After realizing that no one would come to hit her, she became bolder and moved towards Master Yuan He, poking her head out: "Old thief."
Master Yuan He raised his eyebrows and said, "If you don't want to call me Master, at least call me by my name."
"You old thief Yuan He," Snake Queen said carelessly, and pointed at Yu Sheng and Irene with the tip of her tail, "Who are these people? Why do you seem to be so polite to them? I've never seen you treat anyone like this before..."
Yuan He Zhenren glanced at the big snake beside him from the corner of his eye, and after a moment of silence, he asked casually: "Do you know what happened outside?"
"How would I know? You locked me up in such a dark place that I couldn't even see the sun, rain, or snow outside," Snake Queen glared. The tigers, leopards, bears, and jackals beside her bared their teeth and breathed at Master Yuan He, but soon they all drooped their heads again. "I just heard the disciples who came down to check mentioned that something big happened at the border, and then they said that something big also happened to Taixu Lingshu...but no one was willing to explain to me what the big thing was."
Yuan He Zhenren thought for a moment and said, "...Have you heard of the 'Angel of Darkness'?"
"What is that? Is it delicious?"
Yuan He: “…”
"Why aren't you talking?"
Zhenren Yuanhe remained silent, but after a moment of silence, he seemed to suddenly discover something. He turned his head and stared at the giant snake monster in front of him with a somewhat strange look.
Snake Princess was frightened by the other party's gaze and subconsciously coiled up her body: "You, what are you going to do - this girl is warning you, I haven't settled the account with you for the dog head yet! You, don't have any more evil intentions..."
"Snake Princess," Yuan He Zhenren frowned, and after several seconds he said with an extremely serious expression, "Have you... found that you are speaking in an orderly manner?"
Snake Princess: “…Huh?”
At the same time, on the other side, fellow apprentice brothers Yuan Ling and Yuan Hao finally completed the inspection of the stone ball.
As soon as they let go, the stone ball floated back to Irene and continued to revolve around the little doll.
"In terms of its aura... it is still the 'Evil Omen Wandering Star'," Yuan Ling Zhenren nodded in response to Yu Sheng's curious gaze, his expression serious, "but it seems to have lost its mental response and no longer has the dangerous and fierce aura it had before. My senior brother and I have examined it for a long time and found that apart from being able to float around, it has no other... 'magical powers' left."
"You've lost all your mental reactions?" Irene opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Yuan Ling nodded solemnly.
“Why does it feel like a factory reset…” Yu Shengze frowned, his tone thoughtful.
After a moment, he shook his head.
"The key now is how to deal with this ball," Yu Sheng said with a serious expression, "This thing has been following Irene all the time."
Yuan Ling and Yuan Hao looked at each other.
"We just discussed this a little bit," Yuan Hao coughed twice to break the silence, "Since this ball seems to be destined for Miss Irene, why don't you take care of it first..."
Yu Sheng had indeed thought of this possibility, but he was still surprised when he heard the other party bring it up: "Ah? Let us take it away?!"
Irene couldn't help but speak up: "Isn't this thing very dangerous? Will there be any problems if we take it outside the seal?"
"In fact..." Master Yuan Hao hesitated for a moment, then smiled bitterly and sighed, "The seal is gone."
Yu Sheng & Irene: “……?”
Yuan Hao raised his hand and pointed at the demon-suppressing stone pillars around him, as well as the pile of rune chains entangled in the gray and white debris.
Yu Sheng then noticed that these objects, which had previously been floating with a layer of hazy spiritual light, had now become completely quiet, and it seemed that they had been motionless since just now.
"Just when the Ominous Planet shattered, the thousand-year seal at the bottom of the Demon Suppression Tower became ineffective," the old commander spread out his hands, "including the part that activates the earth veins around it - the Ominous Planet has escaped, and it will take at least three to five years to rebuild the seal here."
"Back then, many masters and powerful people joined forces to suppress the first arrival of the 'Evil Omen Wandering Star', and they kept it in seclusion underground in Qianfeng Mountain for several years. Only then did others have the opportunity to build this forbidden area around it," Yuan Ling also added, "and now... this demon has become like this, so there is no need for so many people to join forces to suppress it underground. But now the seal here is invalid, and if we continue to..."
The old man paused, and with a subtle look, he glanced at the small ball floating next to Irene before continuing, "It's meaningless to keep it here. We have to put it somewhere else... Taixu Lingshu doesn't have another place that can seal the Omen Wandering Star. Since it has become like this, we might as well let the 'Hotel' take over. We will feel more at ease."
Instead, I feel more at ease...
Yu Sheng was thoughtful and soon understood what the other party meant. Then his eyes fell on Irene.
The little doll also reacted at this time, turned his head to look at the Ominous Star (Youth Version) floating next to him, and his face fell instantly: "No, really..."
"Just think of it as a magical treasure you've found," Hu Li came over from the side, and it was rare for her to show an expression of enjoying the fun, "Isn't that how you usually read novels, comics, and TV dramas~~"
Luna suddenly raised her head and said, as if she had restarted, "Yeah, that's right."
Irene was stunned for a moment, and her expression began to waver visibly: "So... yes, yes?"
Seeing this, Yu Sheng quickly pressed her head before the little thing could react and nodded: "Then it's settled."
He turned to look at Yuan Ling and said, "By the way, do we need to go through some handover procedures? After all, we have taken over such a... special item from you. A formal force like Qianfeng Lingshan shouldn't leave a written receipt, right?"
"That seems to be the case," Yuan Ling Zhenren felt it made sense, and stroked his beard and said, "But there are special circumstances, the formalities can be completed later, you can take the 'things' out first."
After a while, after confirming the status of the Omen Wandering Star (Youth Edition) again, Yu Sheng opened a door leading to No. 66 Wutong Road, and took Irene, Hu Li and Luna to leave the bottom of the Demon Suppression Tower first - they had to go back to see Zheng Zhi's situation, and by the way, go "outside" to observe how the small stone ball would react after leaving the Demon Suppression Tower.
Moreover, after running around outside for such a long time and going through a fierce battle, Yu Sheng felt that he really needed to go back and take a good shower and have a good sleep - he had to rest for a while before he could do anything else.
Yuan Ling, his three brothers and Xuan Che stayed behind - they still had to check the situation of the Demon Suppression Tower, and deal with some problems after the earth vein sealing formation here failed.
The illusory door slowly dissipated in the air.
Master Yuan He stroked his beard and waited until the door completely disappeared before turning around and looking at his two senior brothers.
"The 'Evil Omen Wandering Star' was taken out of the Demon Suppression Tower just like that... Is it really okay? Isn't this a bit hasty?"
"An evil demon from outside the domain that can devour the earth veins has been suppressed in the capital star for three thousand years. For three thousand years, we have no way to deal with it except to trap it in this place," Yuan Ling Zhenren shook his head. "Now it's actually a good thing - it's much safer to keep it next to Yu Sheng than to keep it in Taixu Lingshu."
"That's true..." Master Yuan He thought for a moment and let out a long sigh, "After all, it was 'Mr. Yu' - the Dark Angels would all fall at his hands."
