Chapter 137 There's no time to explain, just come with me.
Su Yu stood up:
Two rosy blushes appeared on the small halo in her sea of consciousness, and she said in a bashful manner:
Su Yu sat there for a long time before suddenly making a move, which immediately attracted the attention of the exploration team.
The new member, whom they were not yet familiar with, walked toward the center of the room with a clear purpose, and then began to lift the floorboards.
The other six members of the exploration team: ?
The captain couldn't help but speak up: "Is A-Jiu trying to dig a tunnel out? We've actually tried that method before, but..."
Su Yu ignored him. He half-squatted down, gently placed his palm on the ground covered with hard crystals, and used his demonic energy to violently pull up several magic stones buried deep inside.
He held the magic stone in his hand and quickly absorbed the demonic energy in the room and from the magic stone. He then gave the exploration team members, who were initially surprised but gradually turned to fear, a pure, innocent, and shy smile.
"Oh, I almost forgot, I'm from the Ghost Market in the Demon Realm."
"Demon, demon, the ghost market of the demon realm," one of them stammered, quickly recalling the fact that they had only recently learned that their ghost market spanned the demon realm and the spirit realm. "Th-th, those are, our own people, no, demons?"
Su Yu nodded with a smile, finding their frightened expressions rather amusing.
However, they are their own people... well, demons are fine. As a direct team of the Ghost Market, many members of the exploration team were adopted by the Ghost Market from a young age, so they have a high degree of trust in the Ghost Market's ability to protect its own people.
The members of the exploration team quickly calmed themselves down, though their expressions were somewhat complicated.
After hesitating for a moment, Bu Wei finally asked, "A-Jiu, are you sure you're okay with revealing your identity like this?"
Su Yu slowly walked towards the gate: "No problem, we're all from the Ghost Market anyway."
"Oh, by the way, after you leave, someone will come to ask you to keep it a secret. Just cooperate."
He has already communicated with Shen Qi, and Shen Qi will send someone to handle it.
It's basically just making a vow, and the terms might be a bit strict, but it's better than tampering with memories.
Su Yu replied and arrived at the gate. Before kicking it down, she thoughtfully reminded the exploration team members, "If you want to report back later, do so quickly. After you've reported back, hurry back to the base."
The exploration team did not respond.
Su Yu suddenly kicked open the door that had been closed to the Ghost Market exploration team.
As the spiritual energy from the outside world poured in, the bodies of the exploration team members immediately reacted, like parched land receiving sweet rain, eagerly absorbing the spiritual energy to replenish themselves.
The guard reacted quickly, but instead of trying to stop them, he immediately sounded the alarm and turned to run away.
He definitely can't win a fight, he might as well run away...
As Su Yu passed by his corpse carrying her bow, she felt absolutely no pity or mercy for the evil cultivator. She even mentally complained to Xiao Qi:
Xiao Qi firmly stands by her host's side, condemning and despising evil cultivators, and helps her host navigate to an unexpected encounter with Su Yao.
As for the exploration team, they were indeed a dispatched team from the Ghost Market. They had already been assigned tasks to capture the leader, so Su Yu didn't need to worry about them at all.
Inside the underground passageway, there were only a few candles casting a faint glow. Su Yu strolled leisurely deeper into the building, eliminating any evil cultivators who got in his way with an arrow.
All I can say is that his cultivation level at the Integration Stage was enough for him to run rampant in the Central Spirit Realm.
Not long after, Su Yao appeared.
The situation is not good; she seems to be being chased.
Su Yu kicked the evil cultivator she had just killed into a corner, revealing an innocent and surprised smile: "Su..." girl.
"There's no time to explain, just come with me!" Su Yao grabbed Su Yu's outstretched hand that was about to greet her, and pulled him away like the wind.
Just by looking at her speed, which is completely inconsistent with her Nascent Soul stage cultivation, you can tell that she definitely used more than three speed talismans on herself; conservatively speaking, she used at least eight.
Su Yu was forced to swallow back her words of greeting.
He originally wanted to say that he could help A Yao with the later stage of the Void Refinement realm.
Ah Yao probably doesn't need it right now.
Entering the deepest corner, Su Yao climbed onto the roof beam again, but this time she brought Su Yu with her.
And once they found a good hiding spot, they carefully placed invisibility talismans on themselves and Su Yu.
With one hand still holding Su Yu's wrist and the other covering his mouth and nose, Su Yao said in a serious voice, "Open telepathy, I'll ask you questions and you answer them."
Su Yu blinked, then nodded, looking bewildered and innocent.
Su Yao immediately transmitted her voice:
She had previously heard words like "ghost market" and "cooperation," but based on their interactions over the past few days, she found it hard to convince herself that Feng Jiu was an evil cultivator.
Su Yu's telepathic reply revealed a hint of surprise:
Su Yao narrowed her eyes slightly:
Su Yu answered sincerely:
Perhaps feeling that the exploration team was no longer able to use spiritual energy, they could be easily manipulated, as these crippled evil cultivators didn't even take their storage rings.
Su Yu silently recalled that the exploration team members divided up a lot of disposable explosive magical artifacts before they separated.
As expected of someone from the Ghost Market, he truly has the style he had back in the day.
Su Yao slowly loosened her grip:
Just then, the sound of fabric rubbing together came from below again.
So Su Yao reflexively covered Su Yu's mouth and nose again.
Su Yu, who had just regained the ability to breathe freely, felt suffocated again.
Xiao Qi in his mind chuckled again, but before she could speak, Su Yu silenced her with a threatening "Hmm?"
He patted Su Yao's forearm and transmitted his voice with difficulty:
Su Yao snapped out of her daze and awkwardly let go:
In the past, those around her at crucial moments were either enemies who wanted to harm her or cowards who would scream in fear. She had almost made it a habit to cover her mouth immediately.
It was rare to have such a reliable person by her side, and Su Yao felt a faint sense of gratitude.
Su Yu took a few more breaths of the slightly polluted air underground, still feeling a lingering fear.
What's going on lately? Why do I keep getting unintentionally dangerous attacks from Ayao?
Or maybe we should let her know soon that I am the Demon Lord and then separate us for a while.
Both of them fell silent, turning their attention to the several black-robed evil cultivators below.
They pressed a few spots on the dark wall, and the wall opened, revealing a dimly lit cell inside.
Su Yu noticed that Su Yao's body tensed up instantly, so she asked her a question via telepathy and received a reply.
