A dark shadow swept through the wind, revealing natural disasters and human calamities in Immortal 6.
Everyone knows that Yao Ri Ce was unlearned and incompetent, yet he loved romance.
When he first took human form, he loved to emulate scholars and wanted to drink wine and compose poetry, but the poems he produced were utterly absurd. After being ridiculed, he became enraged and, under the influence of someone with ulterior motives, killed an entire village.
Once a person has tasted blood, they can no longer stop, and the same is true for demons.
After that, he would frequently come out to torment people and then kill them. Killing them would have ended his brutal game. But for some reason, he later not only killed people but also began to eat them.
He even proclaimed himself the King of Ten Thousand Beasts, claiming that he, a single demon, was superior to all others. But if his strength were comparable to that of Xue Linling and Ling Shan Xuan Ye, he wouldn't have been so utterly defeated, leaving behind that ripple on the water.
Although he couldn't defeat the more powerful priests, the priests also couldn't kill him completely. The most important reason they couldn't kill him was that he had an exceptionally strong self-healing ability; as long as he had a breath left, his body could heal itself in an instant.
Thus, the Sun God became a terrifying force and the most troublesome problem for the divine realm.
At this point, the three of them looked at Xuan Ye with new respect.
Cang Lun and Jiang Liyan began to speculate about Xuan Ye's true identity. How could this boy, who looked to be only a teenager, know so much?
Seeing Cang Lun and Jiang Liyan scrutinizing Xuan Ye, Huai Wen naturally guessed what they were thinking. Not knowing if these two would know Xuan Ye's identity, she changed the subject: "In that case, shouldn't we go take a look at that Yao Ri Ce Mie?"
"Of course we have to go!" Jiang Liyan shouted. "What if the water ripple marks on his body were left by the True God Fulin? Huaiwen, then we might have a chance to become immortals!"
Unlike Jiang Liyan's excitement, Huaiwen was smiling, but she felt uneasy inside.
Things were becoming increasingly complicated, and she was worried and scared. But she had no way out; she could only move forward.
Day and night passed several times, and Shi Yuluo returned.
Cang Lun told her everything in detail, and Shi Yulu remained silent after listening. Xuan Ye clearly realized Shi Yulu and Cang Lun's intentions, so he wisely took Huai Wen and Jiang Liyan outside.
Once there were no outsiders around, Canglun and Shi Yulu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"What do you think?" Cang Lun asked.
Shi Yuluo calmly said, "We'll travel with them and uncover the truth behind the surface."
As expected, Cang Lun simply nodded in agreement. But the next second, he heard Shi Yulu say, "I've returned to the God Realm. I told the Heavenly Lord that I ran into you."
Cang Lun paused for a moment, then quickly sat up straight: "I knew you would say it."
Shi Yuluo told Canglun that after returning to the God Realm, she first went to the Tiannan Divine Palace to report the matter of the black mist to the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor was worried and wanted to arrange for other officials to assist Shi Yuluo in investigating the truth and resolving the issue together.
But Shi Yuluo told the Heavenly Emperor with a serious expression that when she was dealing with the black energy mass in the mortal realm, Cang Lun had been helping her. Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Emperor naturally understood.
At this point, Shi Yulu cautiously looked up at Canglun and said, "Heavenly Lord, grant me a promise. As long as you work with me to resolve this matter, you can return to your position as a priest and no longer suffer the pain of exile."
Canglun felt both joy and conflict, as he had been exiled from the realm of gods for nearly a hundred years.
Shi Yulu looked at Canglun with a sorrowful expression. She recalled that the two of them were from the same batch of immortal officials who had attained immortality. But now, they were separated, one in heaven and the other on earth, and a hundred years had passed in this way.
Most exiled priests will gradually dissipate over time and reincarnate again. Canglun, however, can only continuously cultivate and improve his immortal arts in order to avoid such a fate.
Now that the question of how to go back has been placed in his hands, he seems hesitant again.
Shi Yuluo erased the past from her mind and forced a sincere smile at Cang Lun: "Cang Lun... go back."
After a long pause, Cang Lun nodded woodenly: "Let's take it one step at a time."
Putting that topic aside, Cang Lun regained his calm expression, then looked around warily. He looked at Shi Yulu seriously and transmitted his voice through telepathy: "We can't let our guard down with those three people outside. The one in white is hard to figure out, the one in blue is a little sly, and the one in black is not simple."
Shi Yulu pressed her temples: "I understand."
Cang Lun raised his eyes, his expression stern as he tapped his temple: "That man in black, knowing so much, suggests he's no ordinary person. I'm wondering if he's that one."
The two exchanged a knowing glance, then looked meaningfully outside.
Meanwhile, the three people outside were discussing the golden armor and jade suit. Since they had failed to capture it this time, Huaiwen could only write a letter to the Qian family steward to inform him that the matter would have to be postponed.
Jiang Liyan lowered his voice and asked Xuan Ye whether those two Taoist priests were reliable.
Xuan Ye shook his head and said, "I have never believed in gods."
Jiang Liyan shouted, "What does this have to do with whether or not you believe in God?"
"Are they gods?" Whiwen quickly grasped this point.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Liyan looked around. "Can't you two be a little more direct with yourselves?!"
Xuan Ye did not answer. He stared intently at Huai Wen, trying to see into her heart through her clear and bright eyes.
This was the first time he had ever looked at something so intently and for such a long time since they had been together.
He still couldn't see Huaiwen's face hidden behind the cursed shackles. But he didn't want to wait any longer; he wanted to find out who that face was beneath the shackles.
"The three of you." Shi Yulu walked out of the thatched hut, interrupting their conversation, "Since you want us to travel together, then we should at least get to know each other."
Jiang Liyan skipped and hopped over to Shi Yulu: "My name is Jiang Liyan, and this is Huaiwen..."
“I don’t need to know your name,” Shi Yulu interrupted Jiang Liyan.
"Then what do you want to know?"
Shi Yulu glanced at Jiang Liyan: "The demon we're looking for isn't an ordinary demon. Although I hate to admit it, he's a demon king who reigns supreme over a region. If you encounter him alone, do you think you can escape?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liyan ran back to the thatched hut without saying a word, grabbed the sword he had just retrieved a couple of days ago, rushed outside, shouted, and immediately began to brandish it.
His steps were steady and orderly. Although his moves didn't seem to come from a traditional cultivation sect, he still possessed the ability to escape.
After Jiang Liyan gained the approval of Shi Yuluo and Cang Lun, they looked at Huaiwen in tacit agreement.
In contrast, Huaiwen blushed and hesitated for a long time before telling everyone that since she began cultivating, she could use any of the many weapons belonging to the demons and humans. However, she had yet to find a weapon that was truly suitable for her. In the end, Liu Xi found her a bladed sword for her to cultivate with.
But she broke this bladed sword not long ago.
In an instant, Xuan Ye suddenly realized.
Jiang Liyan, who was standing nearby, stared in disbelief and spoke first: "Brother, your sword is so unreliable."
Huaiwen gave an inopportune laugh to cover her embarrassment. Her mind raced: "But don't worry, I'm very experienced in escaping and saving my life. Besides, I come from the transvestite institute, I have plenty of magical artifacts, surely one of them can deal with him."
But Shi Yuluo and Cang Lun felt a void in their hearts looking at Huai Wen, who was so awkward and trying to hide his true self. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the decline of the human-demon community could only lead to its eventual demise.
Seeing Shi Yuluo's furrowed brows, Cang Lun said, "Actually, there's no need to worry too much. I know that to get to Yao Ri Ce Mie's territory, you have to pass through Xi Cuo Town. Xi Cuo Town is famous for forging weapons. At worst, you can buy a sword there for self-defense."
"Really?" Huaiwen's eyes sparkled.
Cang Lun laughed and said, "Of course, I, the Immortal of Lan Dao, am not just a nobody who wanders the mortal world! Don't you admire me a lot?"
Huaiwen stepped forward, eager to learn: "Then, Daoist Master, I want to know, everyone says you haven't attained immortality, which is why you've been cultivating in the mortal realm all this time, right? Otherwise, why are you still wandering around the human world after you've clearly attained immortality?"
This question stumped Cang Lun.
Shi Yulu stepped in to smooth things over: "Now is not the time for idle chatter, let's talk about serious matters."
The group quickly straightened up, and Shi Yulu continued, "If you want to find Yao Ri Ce Mie, you must know yourself and your enemy. He hates the smell of people. You probably won't even get close to him, let alone step into his territory, before you're killed."
"The most important thing now is to hide your human scent. Otherwise, if he smells your scent and it stimulates his taste buds, you'll become his snack. As far as I know, your transgender community makes these kinds of sachets that can hide a person's natural scent."
Huaiwen touched the pouch at his waist and nodded obediently.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off right now!" Jiang Liyan shouted triumphantly.
Xuan Ye, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "Wait. Just hiding the scent isn't enough. That guy doesn't just hate the smell of people, he hates people even more. Otherwise, why would he kill and eat people whenever he sees them?"
Shi Yulu asked, "What do you mean?"
“If you’re going to pretend, then pretend completely. Since he hates people and dislikes everything about them, then pretend to be a demon.” Xuan Ye walked towards Huai Wen. “If you become a demon, he won’t be able to easily harm you.”
Huaiwen looked up at Xuan Ye, his expression innocent and naive.
Xuan Ye had no choice but to explain.
Because of his extreme sensitivity to smells, Yao Ri Ce Mie had placed countless sniffer demons around himself. These demons were small and agile, with keen and highly developed senses, and they hid in various places. The moment they smelled a scent on you that wasn't familiar to them, or that they didn't want to detect it...
So for them, this would become food for the Sun Gods.
Before the arrival of the Sun God's Extinction, he fears that his little demon soldiers will attack you first.
If you really want to save your life and get to Yao Ri Ce Mie's side, you must disguise yourself perfectly.
Given Huaiwen and Jiang Liyan's current cultivation levels, it is simply impossible for them to continue disguising themselves as demons and concealing their scent.
"Don't worry about that. I remember the people of Xicuo Town like to disguise themselves as demons. We can always find a way to go somewhere," Canglun said after listening to Xuan Ye's words. "At worst, just stick close to me and I'll protect you."
Shi Yuluo chimed in, saying righteously, "In that case, let's set off tomorrow."
