Chapter 163 Following the Shadow
When Tai heard that his identity as a demon had been exposed, his already irritable and gloomy expression became even more unpleasant.
"What, you're not a demon?"
The bracelet on this kid's wrist exudes an aura that is nine-tenths similar to his earrings, and their functions are almost identical.
Tai was certain that the person in front of him was also a demon, and because he had confirmed the jade talisman, he still believed that Su Yu was his demon.
However, this young demon's behavior and words were somewhat rebellious, and he seemed to want to rebel.
"Let me tell you, the Shadow Demon King's fragmented soul is right here with me. It'll be time for him to wake up soon. If you don't want to die, confess your sins honestly, and I might be able to plead for you."
Upon hearing this, Tai saw the young demon's eyes light up instantly, and a genuine smile appeared on his face.
"Really? That's great!"
Tai Cong: ...? ? ?
Are young people in Shanghai these days so reckless? Aren't they afraid of dying?
Su Yu stepped forward and simultaneously released her divine sense to surround the entire alchemy room.
He smiled politely at Tai Cong and said, "Please wake up Sui Ying, he deserves to die."
The fluctuations of divine sense around him were comparable to those of a Tribulation Transcending cultivator. Tai Cong's expression changed drastically, and he asked sharply, "What kind of demon are you!"
"The current High Priest of the Demon Lord," Su Yu replied briefly, adhering to the principle of respecting the elderly, and attempted to persuade him to defect, "Master Tai Cong has been staying in the Spirit Realm for many years and is unaware that the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm has changed. Sui Ying is now a remnant of the former Demon Lord. You should know the consequences of protecting remnants in the Demon Realm."
In keeping with the demon realm's consistently ruthless and straightforward approach, those who harbor criminals are punished the same as the remaining members; simply put, if they are discovered, they will all die together.
Tai's face changed color from blue to black to white, and finally he uttered a sentence.
"I was just trying to scare you. Suiying left last night."
Su Yu tilted her head: "Really?"
Tai found a seat and sat down angrily. He was very unhappy about being threatened and involved in the Demon Lord succession at his age.
He came to the Upper Spirit Realm on his own in order to learn the alchemy formulas of the human race. He had previously thought that Suiying was a proper demon king, so he couldn't refuse to ask him to refine pills. Who knew that the demon lord had changed demons.
"Really! Besides the Linglong Fruit, we're still missing a lot of medicinal herbs to reshape our bodies. Suiying glanced at it in my mind yesterday and complained about the slow progress, so she went to find that guy from the Minsheng Sect, oh right, Du Queying!"
"If you don't believe me, go find it yourself! There's not a single trace of it in my sea of consciousness!"
He took a big gulp of water, cursing under his breath, "I wasted so much effort! That Shadow thing is already a remnant, yet it still dares to trick me into ordering it around. Bah! What a shameless bastard..."
He quickly and discreetly checked Tai Cong's sea of consciousness, and indeed found no trace of the shadow.
"Excuse me, is there any other news about Suiying?"
Tai snorted coldly: "I don't know."
The pressure from divine senses around them intensified.
Tai Cong rose to the position of honorary vice leader entirely through alchemy; his actual cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Mahayana realm.
The surrounding pressure intensified, reaching the level of a peak Mahayana cultivator, and he immediately cried out in pain.
"I remember now! The disciples of the three major sects are going to enter the Luo Die Secret Realm in the Misty Domain in a month. Sui Ying is going in with that guy surnamed Du to find materials to rebuild his physical body. Maybe, maybe he's also planning to possess the elder who leads the team!"
As the oppressive aura dissipated, Tai Cong breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up and met the smiling, terrifying young demon.
The terrifying young demon looked at him and smiled meaningfully, saying, "Tai Cong Dan Shi knows a lot."
As a member of the demon race, Tai Cong was well-versed in his race's flexible and adaptable strategies for dealing with enemies.
When faced with a strong opponent, one becomes weak; treating a powerful demon like a father should at least save one's life.
"Not at all, not at all. It was Suiying himself who complained about the slow progress and said he wanted to take action himself. After thinking it over, I realized that his soul definitely needed to rest and recuperate in someone's sea of consciousness. In addition, considering the recent news from the secret realm, I finally decided that the High Priest should wait a month to conserve his energy. When he does take action, he will definitely be able to wipe out this remnant of Suiying cleanly!"
Su Yu finally smiled and nodded: "Thank you very much for the information from Master Tai Cong. You have been a great help today."
"No, no..."
Tai, wiping away his sweat, gave away the various spiritual plants that Sui Ying had sent earlier, as well as a number of pills he had refined himself, and finally sent his young father away.
As soon as the door closed, he cursed under his breath.
These scoundrels these days are truly a disgrace!
Oh, that brat is like a shadow.
As Su Yu left the Dan Alliance headquarters, the smile on her lips gradually faded. She used the communication stone to send an order to Cang Dan, the chief commander of the Free Domain, who was nearby.
He wanted to know more about Du Queying of the Minsheng Sect and the more accurate information about the Luodie Secret Realm.
And there were those who had been eyeing him before.
Since Suiying has set his sights on the Luodie Secret Realm, he probably won't risk causing any unforeseen complications. The Mahayana rogue cultivator he's disguised as will likely be a backup option for possession should things not go smoothly in the Secret Realm.
It's faster to ambush the Shadow in the secret realm.
So Su Yu told Tai Cong about it and asked him to deal with the person.
After dealing with these matters and chasing after people for several days, Su Yu simply found an inn in Dancheng to rest.
After killing Suiying, it's best to erase Du Queying's memories. According to the plot, this person should be dealt with by Ayao.
At this moment, outside the inn window, the clouds on the horizon were gradually turning red, with the outer rings tinged with yellow; it was already evening.
A gentle evening breeze swept past the window, bringing a touch of coolness.
After washing up and taking a shower, Su Yu lazily lay on the rocking chair near the window, pondering these matters. System Xiao Qi remained quiet and did not disturb her.
Then the system's team chat channel suddenly started frantically popping up with message notifications.
Su Yu, who was about to close her eyes, suddenly sat up with a start.
Only one person, Twelve, and Youfujun can team up through the system's team-up channel.
There are only two team chat channels, and new messages are popping up everywhere.
Xiaoqi thoughtfully uses a split-screen display.
The one on the left is twelve, which is more common.
Since Su Yu left the Demon Realm, this demon has never gone a day without sending messages.
Ever since this demon discovered that the system also had the function of sending photos and quickly figured it out, he has been sending pictures of the exquisite food, clothing and other items in the Demon Palace every day in an attempt to lure his brother back to the Demon Realm as soon as possible.
And in each picture, he subtly reveals parts of his own body.
This demon must have read some random books again, or perhaps even shamelessly sought guidance from a demon.
Su Yu looked at the latest photos for a while and thought they were actually quite pretty.
He was referring to the new bed, blankets, and pillows in the Demon Palace.
After replying with "Good-looking," she quickly blinked and shifted her gaze to You Fujun's channel on the right.
Yu Fujun's main focus is on a question mark.
