31. The Lord of One Peak, Dad 12
The streets were bustling with people, some carrying loads on their shoulders, some delivering goods with carts, and some driving horse-drawn carriages...
Cheng Ye walked out of the restaurant with a stern face, and Cao Ruixu followed quietly behind him. If Cheng Ye heard the "puff" sound from time to time, he would have believed his lies.
"Stop laughing!" Cheng Ye roared angrily. Damn it, he just had a younger and fairer face. The waiter must be blind to think he was a woman dressed as a man.
Seeing that his face turned red with anger, Cao Ruixu coughed twice to suppress his smile and said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore. From another perspective, people are praising your good looks, right? It shows that you are worthy of being the son of your uncle and you are good-looking." It is said that in the past, the fairies who loved the uncle could circle around the Qiongcang Sect several times, but no one could pluck the flower of the high mountain from the uncle. Cheng Ye's mortal mother was a surprise.
Cheng Ye chuckled and said, "You mean my dad looks like a woman?"
Cao Ruixu panicked and waved his hands quickly: "No, don't talk nonsense, don't hurt me." Thinking of his uncle's icy expression, Cao Ruixu shuddered.
Cheng Ye looked down on his friend and said, "Coward."
Cao Ruixu: "You are my uncle's biological son, of course you are not afraid of him." How many people in the entire Qiongcang Sect are not afraid of their uncle?
Cheng Ye rolled his eyes at him and casually looked at the stalls on both sides of the street to see if there was anything of interest.
The stall owner next to him saw him looking over, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Come and take a look, my little immortal friend. Here are all the necessary goodies for training. And these are all manuals for seniors who have trained in this area. Come and have a look. It's very complete."
The stall owner was a cultivator in the Qi training stage, so it was impossible to tell the two men's cultivation levels, but judging from their attire and temperament, they were two young masters from aristocratic families or favored disciples of a sect, and they were two very popular people.
Seeing Cheng Ye squatting down to look, the stall owner's attitude became even better. He enthusiastically promoted the things on his stall: "These books are all strange stories and travel notes collected from all over the place. If you buy them, you will definitely avoid many detours on your journey."
Cheng Ye flipped through a few books casually, looking completely uninterested, and said, "Is there any information about the Hooked Tongue Demon?"
The stall owner was startled and stammered a little: "Yes, yes, yes, but." He took out a thin notebook and spoke hesitantly.
Cheng Ye took it, flipped through it, and asked, "How many spirit stones?"
Stall owner: "...Here, three spirit stones."
Cheng Ye took out three spirit stones and threw them to the stall owner.
Cao Ruixu said, "Let's go."
The stall owner shook his head and sighed when he saw this. It was a good boy who was so depressed. After all, he was just a young man and was arrogant.
Cao Ruixu said: "It's getting late, let's find an inn to stay in first." Seeing the "Xianmen Inn" not far away, he pulled Cheng Ye and walked in.
The lobby of the inn was very bright and spacious. The innkeeper was a beautiful woman who looked to be about forty years old and still had some charm. When she saw the two of them come in, she asked with a smile, "Are you two young friends staying in the hotel or just stopping for a night? The prices are here, you can take a look first." Her voice was soft and pleasant.
Cao Ruixu looked at the remaining guest rooms and said, "If you want to stay in the hotel, I'd like a double room." Then he put the spirit stones on the cabinet to make it easier for the shopkeeper to count them.
Shopkeeper: "Okay, Xiao Xuzi, take the two guests upstairs." After confirming that the spirit stone was correct, she chuckled and instructed Xiao Xuzi who was cleaning the lobby.
Xiao Xuzi quickly put down his work, walked over, and said, "Please follow me, my two guests."
At this time, another guest arrived. It was three monks, two men and one woman. They were dressed in the same attire and seemed to be disciples of the same sect. The female monk asked as soon as she came in, "Boss, are there any rooms left here?"
Shopkeeper: "Yes, yes..."
Xiao Xuzi took the two to the guest room and then left.
Cao Ruixu pulled a stool and sat down, then quickly asked, "Cheng Ye, do you really want to take care of the matter of the tongue-twisting devil?"
Cheng Ye flipped through the thin book and raised an eyebrow, saying, "I don't believe you aren't curious."
Curious as you may be, don't you think we're running out of time? If we're late, won't we miss the opening ceremony of the Centenarian List? That grand opening ceremony must be quite grand.
The most important thing is, "It says here that the surviving cultivator is at the eighth level of the Golden Core Realm. He had his tongue hooked before he could even see the true face of the demon cultivator, and escaped with the help of a fourth-level teleportation talisman. Are we going to serve food to the demon cultivator?" It can be said that the two of them have no chance of winning against an eighth-level Golden Core Realm cultivator. You can imagine how powerful the demon cultivator is.
Cheng Ye: "Who said we have to confront him head-on?" They both had confidence. It didn't matter whether they could catch the evil cultivator, but they could still protect themselves.
Cao Rui allowed him not to argue, "Alright, then we'll stay a few more days. ...This is the first time I've heard of a demon cultivator who loves to tease others. What can a tongue do? Can it be used for cultivation?"
Who knows.
At this time, footsteps and voices were heard in the corridor. It seemed that the three people who had just moved in had moved in.
Two rooms.
Originally, the two planned to go to the farm in the east district the next day to inquire about the news, but sometimes man proposes, God disposes.
In the middle of the night, Cheng Ye was woken up by Xiaozui's claws.
Cheng Ye reached out and pulled the little mouth off his face, and said confusedly: "Little mouth? What's wrong with you?"
The little mouth bared its teeth at Cheng Ye, kicking its legs and making a warning "cooing" sound.
Cheng Ye had to sit up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Seeing that Cheng Ye was fully awake, Xiaozui turned around and bared his teeth fiercely at the wall, making "gugugugugugugu" sounds endlessly.
Cheng Ye looked at the wall in confusion, but found nothing. So he listened attentively for a long time, but there was no sound.
"What did you find, little mouth?"
The little mouth opened like a rabbit, stuck out its tongue, and then bared its teeth at the wall.
Cheng Ye immediately understood what Xiaozui meant, and became alert instantly. He leaned against the wall and listened attentively. He indeed heard nothing, but the look on Xiaozui's face showed that he had discovered something.
He hurried to Cao Ruixu's bed and woke him up.
"What's wrong?"
"It seems that the little mouth has discovered the tongue-teasing demon cultivator, who is right next door."
Cao Ruixu stood up suddenly after hearing this: "What's going on?"
Cheng Ye: "Xiaozui discovered it, but I listened intently for a long time and didn't hear any sound." The person living next door was probably the female cultivator. If they barged in without warning, and if she wasn't a demon cultivator, then...
Finally, the two decided to give it a try.
Standing at the door of the female cultivator's room, Cheng Ye slowly separated his spiritual consciousness and prepared to investigate the room, but found that his spiritual consciousness could not enter.
"Oh no, it's a barrier."
The two exchanged glances and immediately attacked the barrier. Finding their attacks were unable to shake it, they grew increasingly anxious. The demon cultivator must have noticed their attack on the barrier...
Cheng Ye took out a thunder talisman from his Qiankun bag, input spiritual power into it and threw it at the barrier.
"Boom" the powerful vibration shattered the barrier. Once the barrier was broken, an extremely terrifying force hit the two people from the room. The two people rolled to the side in embarrassment. The powerful attack made the two people's blood surge, and they couldn't help but spit out blood.
Regardless of his injuries, he quickly got up and looked into the room. The female cultivator had already fallen unconscious on the ground, and next to her was a black phantom. The hook-tongued demon was not a cultivator, but a monster!
"Hiss" the monster issued a warning sound, which was extremely unpleasant.
At this time, everyone in the inn who was awakened came over. No matter if they came forward to check or heard the noise and came to rescue, they were all swept by the monster's tentacles, either dead or unconscious.
Gone.
The two men, tumbling to the ground once again, knew they were in a powerful situation and simultaneously summoned their own spiritual weapons to attack the monster. However, the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, and they couldn't even break the other's protective shield. If they hadn't been carrying magic weapons, they would probably have been immobilized by the other's pressure.
Cheng Ye stood up and before he could make a move, he was knocked away and the Zhuoxiao Sword fell to the ground.
Cheng Ye, who hadn't even gotten up yet, suddenly felt a sense of dread. His heart tightened, and he threw the Heaven-Swallowing Pot, only to find it blocked the blow. He then felt himself being held up in mid-air by something, a black tentacles. The creature slowly retracted its tentacles, and Cheng Ye felt the force tightening around him. Unfortunately, his spiritual attacks were completely ineffective, and he struggled mightily.
Cao Ruixu was also extremely anxious here. He waved the Fox Eye and kept whipping the monster's protective shield. Even a magical weapon like the Fox Eye could not exert its power without sufficient spiritual power, and of course it could not break the monster's protective shield.
The tightening of the monster's tentacles made Cheng Ye more and more painful. The feeling of suffocation made Cheng Ye's consciousness gradually blurred. For a moment, he seemed to have touched the door of death. Was he going to die?
Just when Cao Ruixu was thinking about how to kill the monster with Fire Sky Thunder without hurting Cheng Ye.
"Gugu" a little mouth jumped out from the next room. Seeing this scene, he became anxious. He jumped twice on the spot and made a gurgling sound. His red eyes showed a charming red light, and he spat at the monster.
Cheng Ye, who was still conscious but vaguely saw this scene, said: ...
Cao Ruixu, who thought it was going to use a big move: ...
Of course, the behavior of the divine beast could not be so simple. The saliva from its little mouth directly ignored the monster's protective shield and sprinkled on the monster's tentacles.
"Ah!" The monster screamed in a high-pitched voice, the scream was shrill and sharp, and extremely harsh.
The pain that struck the monster's soul made it unable to control Cheng Ye. Cheng Ye fell to the ground and started coughing violently.
Cao Ruixu seized the opportunity and poured all his spiritual power into the whip and swung it. "Boom" a huge hole was left on the ground and the monster dodged.
Cheng Ye picked up the Zhuoxiao Sword and joined the fight. He found that the monster's power was weakening. The two of them attacked more and more violently, taking out stacks of spiritual talismans and throwing them at the monster without paying.
Finding that the monster wanted to escape, Cao Ruixu tied up its tentacles with a whip and threw it to the ground. Cheng Ye threw out the immortal rope to tie up the monster, and the battle ended.
The two men fell to the ground gasping for breath. After a while, they got up and poured out the elixir and swallowed it. Cheng Ye took a look at the monster on the ground and said, "What kind of monster is this?" It was a black mass.
Cao Ruixu shook his head. He hadn't seen it either.
At this time, there was a faint sound approaching here.
Cheng Ye: "I guess the monks nearby heard the noise and came here, let's take it to the lobby first." As he said that, he reached out and picked up one end of the rope.
"Be careful!" Cao Ruixu shouted in fear.
