Chapter 33 Unexpected Discovery of the Traitor
Although we acquired many treasures before, resources are scarce on the Dust Continent, so we still need to use spirit stones sparingly.
Xi'er doesn't plan to use the spirit boat for her trip; Fusheng can only manifest his true form to carry her.
As for Ruomeng, well, she's a girl, so she shouldn't do this kind of physical labor unless absolutely necessary!
Fusheng felt very frustrated. He was a magical butterfly, whose wings were meant for dancing gracefully, not for carrying heavy loads and flying.
In the memory of his ancestors, all they needed to do was dance gracefully at grand banquets and showcase their beauty.
It's enough to create a beautiful illusion along the way, so that all the guests can feel happy and relaxed.
Later, an ancestor, dissatisfied with this status, searched far and wide for powerful techniques to enhance his combat strength, which led to his descendants becoming powerful divine beasts.
But no magical butterfly has ever been used as a mount by its owner.
Fusheng carried Xi'er and Ruomeng forward, their heads down, and because of their depressed mood, they flew far away without realizing it.
Xi'er and Ruomeng were both fun-loving and didn't think there was anything wrong with flying a little further away, so naturally they didn't remind Fusheng.
When the sun was high in the sky and Fusheng felt the heat, they stopped to rest and finally discovered that they had flown onto a path they had never taken before.
Unable to find any familiar landmarks, Fusheng realized he was lost.
"Xi'er, Ruomeng, do you remember the direction? We can still make it back while it's still possible, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to fly you back to the camp before dark." Fusheng rarely put away his aloofness and said with a look of anxiety.
"I didn't remember the direction. I was busy admiring the scenery the whole way," Xi'er said, shrugging.
"Me too." Ruomeng was equally irresponsible.
"This godforsaken place is full of barren mountains, deep ravines, and polluted waters. What scenery is there to admire?" Fusheng said dejectedly.
"That's because you don't know how to appreciate it! Look, to our left front, that mountain peak, doesn't it look just like a bear?"
Also, look up at the sky, doesn't that white cloud look like a sea belt?
"Only a blockhead like you can't see the beautiful scenery, okay?" Ruomeng bluntly retorted.
"Yes, I agree with Sister Meng's opinion. Brother Fusheng, you need to reflect on your actions."
"With your boring personality, you'll never find a wife in the future," Xi'er nodded.
“Exactly, exactly. You’ve wasted such a beautiful body. You’re not even as good as Xiao Bao, who managed to win over a beautiful and charming spirit lamp,” Ruomeng said.
Lost and disoriented, and further attacked by the two partners, one big and one small, he was so angry that he wished he could just abandon them and fly away on his own.
However, considering that he was the only steady one among the three, and the other two were unreliable, he could only swallow his anger and stay for the time being.
Hmph! Once we get back to the camp, he'll definitely complain to his wife and make her punish those two properly.
After striking at Fusheng, Xi'er saw the beads of sweat on his forehead and her conscience was pricked.
Brother Fusheng carried them for half a day, which was so tiring, and they still ganged up on him. It was really wrong of them.
Xi'er decided to make up for it with delicious food. At first, Fusheng was reluctant to eat, but Xi'er couldn't resist her smiles and fed him glutinous rice balls and steamed egg custard.
These were all things she had treasured and couldn't bear to eat, but now, to make up for her guilty conscience, she was taking them out to make him happy.
Fusheng decided to forgive his young master for the time being, and joined the two of them in a feast.
At this time, the sun was high in the sky, making it difficult to determine direction. He decided to wait until the sun was slightly off to the west before trying to determine the cardinal directions.
Xi'er came out to enjoy the freedom, and even though the sun was blazing, she didn't plan to rest.
Ruomeng was equally excited, and the two decided to explore the nearest ridge.
It looks like a naturally formed wall, about ten kilometers long. Xi'er was very curious to know what kind of scenery lay beyond Hengling.
Of course, Fusheng couldn't let the two of them out of his sight, so he could only resign himself to continuing to carry them.
The three flew to the top of Hengling Mountain and were about to rest when they heard rustling sounds coming from the foot of the mountain.
Upon using their divine sense to investigate, they discovered that many members of the Little Demon Clan were emerging from behind a huge rock at the foot of the mountain.
Among them were purple demons, blue demons, and green demons, numbering several hundred.
Seeing hundreds of demons at once is normal, but it's a bit unusual in a place far from water.
However, what surprised Xi'er and the others even more was that behind these demons were dozens of sea beasts.
Xi'er learned from the high priest that the people of the Ximo tribe and the sea beasts had always been locked in a life-or-death struggle.
After all, resources are limited, and they all depend on the sea for survival, so conflict is inevitable.
In recent centuries, fewer and fewer sea creatures have survived, and the two races have stopped fighting each other so much.
However, most of the time, they each occupy a piece of sea area and do not interfere with each other.
Therefore, the spirit lamp in the Great Abyss Sea has always appeared in the form of a human after it has taken human form.
She also used a magical artifact to conceal her sea beast aura, preventing the people of the Ximo tribe from discovering her sea beast identity and avoiding unnecessary trouble.
It is truly rare to see two races living together peacefully like this.
Something unusual must be going on.
The three exchanged a glance, and Fusheng carried them to follow behind this strange group, while Ruomeng activated her stealth skill, allowing their presence to blend into the surrounding environment.
Unless it's a deliberate investigation by someone at the Purple Demon level, it's impossible to detect their whereabouts.
In the group, the first three are purple demons.
In the Dust Continent, Purple Demons are top-tier combatants. They usually lead their own subordinates, and it is extremely rare for three Purple Demons to come together like this.
For safety's sake, Fusheng dared not approach the three purple demons, so he moved closer to the dozen or so blue demons following behind them.
One of the blue demons whispered to his companion, "1568, do you really think the Endless Lord can succeed in rebelling this time and become the High Priest?"
"The Endless Lords have been preparing for this day for over a hundred years. This time, the High Priest led his people out to war, but they suffered heavy losses."
Instead of apologizing to his people, he attracted aliens from another world and even wanted to pass the position of high priest to that alien girl.
To pave the way for her, they forged the identity of a messenger of God; this is clearly an act of treason.
Therefore, this time, we have the advantage of timing, location, and popular support. I believe that the Endless Lord will definitely succeed in killing the High Priest and taking the High Priest's throne.
Those of us who follow him will also remain in the Great Abyss Sea, occupying the most central position and possessing the most cultivation resources.
Our best days are yet to come!
"You're right, the best is yet to come. When that time comes, you and I might both have the chance to advance to become Purple Demons. That's my biggest dream in life!"
This conversation left Xi'er and the other two stunned!
What's going on? The three of them just went out for a casual stroll, to enjoy the scenery and get some fresh air, and how did they end up hearing such a shocking piece of gossip?!
Fusheng looked at Xi'er, his worry growing stronger.
This damn Endless Lord actually wants to become the High Priest. Isn't this clearly a threat to Zi Ling?
As Zi Ling's soul master, Xi'er will be the first to suffer the backlash once Zi Ling dies.
Not to mention that along the way, Xi'er and Zi Ling have already formed a deep bond. Their relationship is no longer that of master and servant, but rather more like that of a grandfather and granddaughter.
Xi'er's anger was burning fiercely, and she wished she could find that damned Endless Lord and wipe him out.
In fact, she didn't have much interest in the position of high priest; on the contrary, she disliked being constrained at all.
She actually hoped that Grandpa Zero would live a long life, tens of thousands of years, so that she wouldn't be forced to take over the position of High Priest from him.
But it's one thing for her not to want it, and another thing for these guys to try and take it by force.
In her opinion, as long as you are capable enough, she doesn't mind whoever takes the position of High Priest.
After all, the family was willing to come here with the high priest just to help them improve the environment so that the demon people would have enough to eat and drink and would no longer have to plunder for survival.
Once this goal is achieved, Mom and Dad will definitely want to leave.
For thousands of years, Grandpa Zero has devoted himself to the cause of the entire Demon race, but instead of being grateful, these people want to take the opportunity to usurp the throne.
That's absolutely heartless!
No, to describe them as heartless and cruel is an insult to wolves and dogs. They are nothing but a bunch of scoundrels who abandon morality for profit!
Xi'er was so angry that her hands trembled. Fusheng and Ruomeng quickly tried to calm her down, afraid that she would rush out and start a fight.
