Chapter 50 Demon-Suppressing Cage
"Keep a close eye on those homeless people. If there's any sign of trouble, arrest them. Protect them first,"
Yu Xiaoluo left Nanshan a few more protective talismans. "Brother Nanshan, things haven't been peaceful lately. Ming Jiuyou hasn't been caught yet. These things could also be his doing, since he was seriously injured. Absorbing souls can help him recover and improve his cultivation. This is just my guess. It could also be someone else's doing. If you have any clues, tell me immediately. Don't act rashly. None of you are his match. If you fight him, you'll only become his nourishment."
Nanshan expressed his gratitude to Yu Xiaoluo and accepted the talisman. "I've been troubling you so much, but I haven't been able to do anything for you. I feel so ashamed. I'll try my best to get there tomorrow."
Yu Xiaoluo took out the invitation card. "I almost forgot about this. You need the invitation card to enter."
Nanshan smiled, "Okay, girl."
After going outside, she saw her third brother wandering around and realized that she had brought him with her. Yu Xiaolu was speechless. "Third brother, you need to work on your courage. Besides, as my lackey, you're too weak."
Yu Liang also felt that he was very bad at the job, and scratched his head embarrassedly. "How about you teach me something? That way, if anything happens, I can rush in and avoid getting killed before I can even make a move."
"Okay, get in the car first, I'll teach you."
Once inside the car, Yu Xiaoluo released the two demons and the ghost. When Yu Liang saw the two enormous insects and the demon with its claws outstretched, his legs trembled, and he almost drove the car into a tree.
"Little sister, what are these things?"
Yu Liang almost cried. He didn't enter Ghost Valley. Although he was present when the Gu worms happened, the sight of two living poisonous creatures in front of him, along with a female ghost, truly broke his spirit.
"Little Zhuzhu, you can stay with my third brother from now on."
"No, I'm a girl, I don't want to watch boys take a bath—" Little Zhuzhu is a person with a temper, and she means it when she says no.
"Tch, making it seem like I'm happy for you to see me like this." Yu Liang was so angry that he forgot all about being scared.
Yu Xiaoluo had no choice but to say, "Fine, I'll wait for Little Frog and Xuanwu to come back and then choose one."
Speaking of Xuanwu and Little Toad, Yu Xiaoluo was a little puzzled. How come there had been no news of them for so many days, and they hadn't come back? This shouldn't be the case.
Could it be that he was caught and braised?
"Third Brother, could you go over there while you're at it?"
So everyone went together to the villa where Xuanwu and Xiaohaha were staking out, which was the villa where Shangguan Peiyu used to live.
When they arrived, they found the villa gate tightly closed. From the outside, they couldn't tell if anyone was inside, but Xuanwu and Little Toad were nowhere to be seen in the nearby bushes and green belts.
Could it be that they were really arrested?
Yu Xiaoluo was a little confused. Xuanwu was not an ordinary snake; it was a dragon.
She sensed it carefully and faintly detected the auras of Xuanwu and the little toad, but it was extremely weak. This weakness wasn't due to distance, but rather—
Her heart skipped a beat. Oh no, they were both in danger!
Just then, a woman's giggles came from the villa. The door opened, and Shangguan Peiyu and Yao Qingfeng came out.
They looked at Yu Xiaoluo with beaming smiles, while Yao Qingfeng was carrying a cage with two small animals inside. Weren't they Xuanwu and Little Toad?
Ordinary cages couldn't contain Xuanwu and Little Toad at all. Yu Xiaoluo half-closed her starry eyes, her gaze cold and piercing as she stared at the dark red cage.
The cage bones were neither metal nor wood, but the color of congealed blood. The bars had a crackling, snake-skin-like texture, and were engraved with ant-script patterns that others couldn't understand, but Yu Xiaoluo could. It was a demon-locking spell!
This is the ancient artifact, the Demon-Suppressing Cage, made from materials of the Nine-Eyed Black Tortoise. I never expected it to appear here! They actually possess such a divine artifact.
Once locked inside, even the most powerful demonic beasts cannot use their magic, becoming just like ordinary animals. This is its greatest strength; those demonic beasts cannot even speak human language.
Little Toad and Xuanwu lay inside, looking badly injured and on the verge of death, clearly having been tormented by them.
When they saw their master arrive, their eyes flickered, and they slightly lifted their eyelids, but they were too weak to make any big movements. Their eyes were filled with tears as they looked at their master, and they opened their mouths as if to say something, but they could only make very weak hissing and croaking sounds.
"Hehe—" Shangguan Peiyu laughed seductively, dressed in flamboyant attire.
"How about it? This demon-suppressing cage is the Shangguan family's number one magic weapon. We don't usually have a chance to use it, but I didn't expect to use it today. Two little demons dare to wander around my house. Hehe, they've got some nerve."
Yao Qingfeng said with a sanctimonious expression, "These little demons shouldn't appear in the human world. They don't go to the deep forests, but instead swagger around in the bustling city. They should be captured to prevent them from harming humans."
Yu Xiaoluo's eyes turned unusually cold, like a icy knife. "Shangguan Peiyu, release the things in the cage." Her words were chillingly cold, sending shivers down one's spine.
Yu Liang had been spending time with his sister for a while, and he had never seen her with such a terrifying expression.
Shangguan Peiyu seemed to have suddenly noticed her presence. "Oh, it's Yu Xiaoluo, what are you doing at my doorstep? What does the thing in the cage have to do with you?"
"They are my pets."
Shangguan Peiyu looked even more surprised, "Oh dear, what are you doing at my doorstep? Could it be—"
She glanced at Yu Xiaoluo, then put on an incredulous look. "Oh dear, really? Yu Xiaoluo, you're also a practitioner of metaphysics, how can you raise demons? This is a taboo in our metaphysical world. If people knew that you, the daughter of the Yu family, and you, a master of metaphysics, were privately raising demon pets, and two of them at that, I wonder what everyone would think? And the metaphysical world doesn't allow such things to exist! This goes against the natural order!"
Yu Xiaoluo wanted to say, "I am the Way of Heaven," but she held back.
This was the first time she had been so angry since she came down from the mountain.
She hates nothing more than being threatened with the people or things she cares about, even her demon pets—they are still her pets! No one else is allowed to touch them!
Yao Qingfeng chimed in, "I came here today at Shangguan Peiyu's request to discuss the matter of dealing with these two little demons. Your arrival is just in time. We've decided to publicly punish these two demons as a warning to others."
"You dare!"
Yu Xiaoluo suddenly unleashed her aura, and the overwhelming force caused Yao Qingfeng and Shangguan Peiyu to take several steps back, almost losing their footing.
