Chapter 174: If You Can’t Beat Them, Call Someone Else
Wen Xu divided the pile of treasures into two, put half back into the spirit ring, and stuffed the other half into Song Ningshu's arms.
"Little Sister, whoever sees it gets a share."
Song Ningshu was stunned for a moment, "You snatched something from a tiger's mouth, and you're just giving it to me like this?"
"If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago. I'm afraid you'd think it's too little if I only gave you half." Wen Xu said, "Just accept it. Why don't you accept the money from other brothers but not from me?"
After coming to this world, the junior sister helped him a lot.
Since he had said this, Song Ningshu had no choice but to accept it.
"Junior Sister, where are you going? What is this place?"
"Go to the Demon Temple. This is the border area between humans and demons." Song Ningshu withdrew her spiritual power, and a vine tremblingly rose up, wrapped around Song Ningshu's drooping fingertips, tapped her palm, and then retracted into the ground, turning back into an ordinary vine.
"Junior Sister, can I go with you?" Returning to the sect is also a way to practice, and there are opportunities by following Junior Sister!
Don’t ask, just look at what Boss Shengxia said.
Song Ningshu nodded.
"The one chasing us just now was a corpse demon. It's skilled in refining corpses. It refines dead monks into puppets. The corpses it refines have no thoughts and can only obey the corpse refiner's orders. They don't feel pain."
"The corpse demons will contract the puppets they have refined. The puppets they contract will improve as their own strength increases. Corpse demons in the refining stage can contract one puppet, corpse demons in the demonization stage can contract two puppets, and so on."
"They are trying to hide their tracks from the Demon God Temple. They must be planning a rebellion."
"I wanted to observe them for a while, but you suddenly appeared, so I had to take you and run away first."
"So what do we do now?"
"If we investigate further, they would want to rebel, so there wouldn't be only this few demons. I'll let Bai Yao pass on the message, he's fast."
Song Ningshu released Bai Yao, patted his head, and then stuffed a token into his hand. "Ayao, go inform your brother, tell him the situation, and ask him to bring more soldiers."
"Okay." Bai Yao transformed into his original form and rushed towards the Demon Palace.
If you can't beat them, call for help. That's fine. Let them have a taste of what it's like to be beaten up by a group.
Song Ningshu turned his head and glanced at Wen Xu. He was already in the early stage of fusion now, but without special breath-concealing techniques, he could not escape the detection of those corpse demons in the fusion stage.
She rummaged through her spirit ring and handed him a jade pendant that concealed her aura. "Here, it can conceal your aura. As long as you don't reveal it, they won't be able to detect you if you're in the Tribulation Crossing stage."
"Thank you, Junior Sister." Wen Xu took a look at the seemingly ordinary jade pendant in his hand and tied it around his waist. "We've been running for at least three hours. How are we going to find those demon cultivators?"
"Three hours?" Song Ningshu was puzzled.
"Oh, one hour is equal to two hours, and three hours is one and a half hours."
Song Ning understood and raised her fair and beautiful hand, which was covered with a thin layer of mist. "My spiritual energy will provide guidance. I have already let the plants explore the path."
"sharp!"
Song Ningshu summoned his spiritual power and flew low over the dense forest leaves. A voice came from afar: "Follow me."
Wen Xu saw this and quickly followed.
After running for another hour and a half, they bypassed the corpse demons that came out to look for them and returned to the place where they had fought at the beginning.
【The safest place is the most dangerous place.】
The two stood close to the crevice for a long time, and the corpse demons that had gone out came back one after another.
"Boss, I can't find it!"
"Boss, we can't find it either!"
The leading corpse demon kicked the subordinate standing in front of him and cursed, "Useless! With so many people, you can't capture two cultivators in the Out-of-Body Stage. What's the point of you!"
"Boss, didn't you catch him either?" another corpse demon asked stupidly.
Fifty or sixty demons, including their leader, let the two of them escape and could not find any trace of them at all.
The corpse demon who was kicked glanced at the idiot who was speaking with a look of admiration.
Upon hearing this, the leader gave the talking corpse demon a hard kick and angrily said, "You're the only one who can talk! Go find those two monks and deal with them. If they spread the news to the Demon Palace, we'll all die!"
"Who can be sure how much of our conversation that nun heard?!"
"Boss, they are human cultivators and should have nothing to do with the Demon God Temple."
The leader wanted to kick this brainless subordinate to death and roared, "Don't forget, Shang Zhiyan's sister is a human cultivator!"
"If this gets out, it'll ruin the clan leader's plan. When the clan leader comes over later, neither you nor I will be in any good shape!"
The leader looked at the group of corpse demons beside him and asked, "Did you see the faces of those two people clearly?"
"It was blocked by the snow and vines, so I couldn't see clearly. The lightning ball thrown by that male cultivator at that time should have been a lightning spirit root."
The leader's face changed. "Go find him quickly. If you find him, get rid of him immediately. It's most likely Song Ningshu. Damn his luck, he even ran into this!"
"In the Panpocheng competition, Song Ningshu possesses dual spiritual roots of ice and wood!"
Wen Xu glanced at Song Ningshu next to him.
[They're not stupid either. Sigh, Junior Sister is too famous.]
Song Ningshu raised his eyes, felt something, and his face became serious. He pulled Wen Xu into the space. Where Song Ningshu originally stood, a small white flower swayed in the wind.
"What are you cursing about?" A nine-foot-tall black-robed demon cultivator came with a hoarse voice, exuding a strong bloody aura.
The momentary fluctuation of spiritual energy was noticed by the black-robed demon cultivator. A stream of demonic energy hit the place where the two were hiding, and rocks flew everywhere, shattering into sand.
The little white flower was crushed by the gravel, and its petals fell to the ground, but another little flower trembled and grew from the roots.
"Chief, you are here." The corpse demon leader ran over with his back bent.
The Corpse Demon Chief withdrew his hand and retracted his gaze to the little leader.
Behind him, thousands of corpse demons appeared in the valley, filling it up.
"Answer me, what nonsense are you talking about?" The Corpse Demon Chief gave him a cold look.
The young leader's forehead was sweating and his body was shaking. "Chief, it seems Song Ningshu has been here."
The Corpse Demon Chief's face turned cold, and he kicked him, sending him flying and crashing into the stone wall. "You useless piece of shit! I asked you to clear the way, but you cleared a huge mess!"
The little leader's direct subordinates were trembling with fear on their faces.
"Chief, spare my life!"
"Where are the people? When did they arrive?"
"Three hours ago."
The Corpse Demon Chief snorted coldly, "It's too late. The news has probably spread."
The Corpse Demon Chief raised his hand to grab the little leader and strangled him. "You useless thing! You can't even do this little thing."
Immediately afterwards, a puppet with the aura of a Tribulation Crossing Stage appeared beside the Corpse Demon Chief. It picked up the corpse of the little leader and began to gnaw on it, making a "crunching" sound. Fresh blood was still steaming, and intestines and internal organs were scattered all over the ground.
"That's all we have left."
【!!! Oh my god! This shatters my entire worldview!】 Wen Xu in the space was about to vomit.
Song Ningshu also looked a little physically uncomfortable.
