The Flute Demon Storm (End)
Contrary to expectations, the flute demon was at his wit's end: "If I tell you everything, will you let me live?"
Chi Ce suppressed his anger and said, "You say."
The flute demon looked at Chu Caiwu and shook his head. "It's difficult for inanimate objects to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The leader of the immortal clan infused me with a spiritual power that is neither immortal nor ghost-like. Only then was I able to transform. Only one in ten thousand flutes or even bamboo can transform."
The flute demon frowned. "I originally wanted to be a minor official in the fairy world, doing odd jobs. It would be impressive to tell others about it, but he said that I could just capture souls..."
Chi Ce gritted his teeth and asked, "Get to the point, where did you take the demons?"
The flute demon's body trembled, and a piercing wail and scream came.
The stench of fishy smell filled his head, and Chu Caiwu retched violently. When he raised his eyes, he saw a pile of bloody... people hanging upside down.
The hair of those people was stuck together and hung on the ground. Their skin was peeled and blood was dripping. Blood was dripping down in irregular drops.
Chu Caiwu was retching and looking at these bloody people, when suddenly a handkerchief was handed to him.
Amidst the bloody smell, a hint of sandalwood rose faintly, like a suffocating fish being fed a drop of water.
Yin Zhuo held up the handkerchief and said, "Cover your nose with it, maybe it will feel better."
Chu Caiwu grabbed the handkerchief and covered his nose with it. The sandalwood incense washed away the fishy smell, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Food coupons are really good. They are not only a source of food, but also serve as a thoughtful personal bodyguard.
Chu Caiwu looked at Yin Zhuo with a smile: "Lord Yin Zhuo is the best!" Unexpectedly, when he opened his mouth to speak, he inhaled the fishy smell again. Chu Caiwu leaned over, the feeling of suffocation lingering, he retched continuously, and his eyes were full of tears.
Chi Ce glanced at Yin Zhuo: "You are the most considerate."
Chi Ce glanced at Chu Caiwu sideways: "How stupid." Immediately, a golden barrier covered Chu Caiwu.
Chu Caiwu was in the golden light shield and could no longer smell the fishy smell. Looking at Yin Zhuo and Chi Ce, who were fine, he asked, "Don't you two smell fishy? Why didn't you react..."
Chi Ce curled his lips. He and Yin Zhuo had seen many corpses when they were young, so they were used to it.
The flute demon said timidly: "The ones hanging here are demons and humans. The leader of the immortal tribe taught me the forbidden soul-taking technique..." The flute demon's eyes rolled around, afraid that he would be killed by a knife.
Yin Zhuo looked at the upside-down chain, on which white runes were faintly floating, and said, "It is indeed the magic of the immortal race."
With a "swish", the long sword was unsheathed. Chi Ce took out a three-meter-long sword from the void and placed it on the neck of the flute demon. Chi Ce gasped: "You hurt the life of my demon clan, you deserve to die!"
Yin Zhuo condensed his spiritual power into a rope to hold the long sword, preventing Chi Ce's three-meter-long sword from cutting down.
Chi Ce turned around and glared at Yin Zhuo, angrily saying: "You traitor!"
The flute demon curled up into a ball and hid behind Yin Zhuo. Yin Zhuo asked Chi Ce, "If you kill him, how will you find out the whereabouts of the missing demons?"
Chi Ce's three-meter-long sword was easily clamped by Yin Zhuo. He couldn't put it down, and he couldn't chop it. Chi Ce threw the sword to the ground and said angrily: "Leave him alive, you come with me to investigate."
Chu Caiwu crouched down and hid behind Yin Zhuo - she and the flute demon who had hidden in looked at each other in surprise.
For one second, two seconds, Chu Caiwu froze, and suddenly she screamed: "Ahhhhhhhh!" She hugged Yin Zhuo's waist tightly from behind: "Master Yin Zhuo, save me! Ahhhhh!"
The continuous screams broke the stalemate between Yin Zhuo and Chi Ce. Yin Zhuo felt numb in his waist and his face turned as red as a persimmon.
Chi Ce looked at Chu Caiwu, cursing her in his heart for being cowardly and angrily saying how disgraceful it was, saying that it was unacceptable for a girl to hug a man, and especially Yin Zhuo.
The flute demon was extremely self-aware and moved away from Chu Caiwu in shame.
Yin Zhuo gently moved his arms away and patted the fennel leaves on Chu Caiwu's head: "You will be fine."
Chi Ce interrupted: "There is no time to lose, come with me to the fairyland to investigate now."
Chu Caiwu stared at the upside-down human bodies, dripping blood, and taking souls. This was what she was most familiar with. These demons were made into blood slaves.
A good life was crushed to pieces, the skin was peeled off and the soul was taken out while alive, and after death, it was hung upside down with blood empty. There was no way to rest in peace.
Chu Caiwu couldn't understand why the fairy world worshipped by the world and the well-dressed leader of the fairy clan regarded human life as worthless.
The fairies of the Wilderness Temple will never be turned into blood slaves, but these helpless, powerless demons and humans will always face the danger of having their tendons and bones pulled out.
Why?
Chu Caiwu nodded suddenly: "Let's go now!"
Chi Ce and Yin Zhuo stared at her in shock.
Yin Zhuo didn't want to go to the fairyland. He didn't want to reveal his identity, so he said, "Let's save Feng Di and her brother first. The smell here is too strong. Let's go back and clean up."
Chi Ce did not refute, and the three of them began to look for Feng Di's brother in the forest of corpses.
The flute demon stopped the three of them and said, "It's useless to find the body. Her brother's soul has already been sent to the fairyland in piles. Go back and organize yourself. There may be hope of finding it in the fairyland."
Chu Caiwu grabbed Yin Zhuo's arm and asked the flute demon, "Why did you capture Feng Di's brother?"
The flute demon shook her head: "She herself gave her brother to me."
Chu Caiwu thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't believe it. His sister... sold his brother?
Chi Ce was not very interested in this matter. He only cared about the people of the demon clan.
Yin Zhuo didn't want to reveal his identity. He was just involved in these things for no reason and couldn't judge whether others were right or wrong.
The flute demon explained: "Because she was the one who was originally sacrificed, she said she wanted to live and exchange her brother for me. In order to get the job done, I took her brother and didn't take her life."
Chu Caiwu had heard that it was possible that mortals favored boys over girls and used Feng Di as a sacrifice.
Feng Di was angry about the injustice. She did nothing wrong in trying to save her life, but she also hurt her relatives.
There's no right or wrong in this world; it's just a matter of perspective. Feng Di wants to save herself, while her family wants to keep their son.
Chu Caiwu murmured, "Then let's go back and sort things out."
Chi Ce raised his hand, and golden light suddenly gathered to form a huge ball of light, which was thrown towards the flute demon without mercy.
Before the flute demon could scream, it had already turned into a flute and fell to the ground. The barrier in front of him suddenly disappeared, the sky brightened, and a thin cool mist filled the forest.
Chu Caiwu stared at Chi Ce in amazement. She kept recalling the scene just now. Chi Ce could actually beat the flute demon back to its original form. Wouldn't that mean he could also beat her into fennel?
Chu Caiwu pulled Yin Zhuo's sleeve, hid behind Yin Zhuo, and secretly glanced at Chi Ce.
Chi Ce was confused: "What are you looking at? I didn't kill the flute demon." Chi Ce took a few steps forward, bent down and picked up the flute: "Let's go back."
Yin Zhuo tilted his head slightly and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Chu Caiwu shook her head and clung tightly to Yin Zhuo's arm. The damp and coldness in the forest penetrated her bones. Chi Ce kept beating others back to their original form, which made her feel even colder.
The three of them passed through the mist in the forest. Suddenly, a blue mist filled the air and a wandering female ghost stopped them: "Leave the flute demon to me, or you will never get through."
Chu Caiwu had seen this female ghost before, the Blue Mist Singer, and she was indeed in cahoots with the Flute Demon.
The flute in Chi Ce's hand kept shaking, and the flute demon shouted: "Don't give me to her, please don't give me to her!"
The three of them were all confused. Aren’t this flute demon and that singing girl in the same group?
The singer said angrily: "It peeled off my skin and used my face. I can't let it go."
Chu Caiwu's scalp tingled. This flute demon was greedy and cruel.
Yin Zhuo looked at the singer and said, "This matter is closely related to the people of the demon clan, and it is not up to you."
The singer spat, rushed towards Chu Caiwu and strangled her.
Chu Caiwu's neck creaked as it was broken, the pain spread to his head, and he felt suffocated.
She was the weakest, didn't know any magic, and was always bullied. Why... She really wanted to crush the singer under her feet.
White gas surged around Yin Zhuo's body, and all his immortal power poured out. A large amount of immortal power turned into long needles, which quickly pierced through the singer and shattered her soul.
The singer's soul dissipated bit by bit, and she said with hatred: "She is a sinner, you will regret saving her..."
Sinner? Chu Caiwu thought of a place where blood was everywhere and countless souls were blown to pieces, and it seemed that her own blood was the cause.
But she didn't want to have her blood drawn, not because she wanted to blow up those souls. Those souls were just as weak as her and could be slaughtered at will.
Chu Caiwu didn't want to sit and wait for death anymore. She must practice magic to save these souls.
Yin Zhuo patted Chu Caiwu and shook his hand: "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Chu Caiwu came back to her senses. She wasn't scared, but she didn't want to be so weak because she had to be protected by Yin Zhuo every time. She said slowly, "No, I'm brave. Let's go back."
Chi Ce added: "I was so scared that I almost lost my soul."
Chu Caiwu glanced at Chi Ce. She didn't say anything, but secretly made up her mind that she, Chu Caiwu, was definitely not the fool of yesterday.
The blue mist miasma had dissipated, and the cunning mayor became generous, sending a bunch of fruits and ginseng supplements. He treated Chi Ce as a guest of honor, but Chi Ce ignored him and turned to ask Yin Zhuo.
Chu Caiwu naturally had no say, but unexpectedly, Yin Zhuo said, "Just send a few plates of roast duck."
Chu Caiwu loves roast duck the most, and Yin Zhuo can think of this for her.
She became even more determined to cultivate into a fennel demon to protect the food coupons! Also, to help Yin Zhuo replenish his body and increase his immortal power.
Chu Caiwu followed Yin Zhuo all the way back to the room, his eyes always bright and never leaving Yin Zhuo.
Chi Ce gritted his teeth and said, "I have to help others count the money after selling fennel."
Chu Caiwu: "Nonsense, Yin Zhuo will never sell me out." After all, she was the only one selling food coupons, so how could she have a share in selling them?
Chi Ce looked at the bathtub: "It's hard to say, I will sell you out when we go to the fairyland." After leaving these words, Chi Ce went back to his room to take a bath.
Yin Zhuo stopped Chi Ce and said, "Go to the Immortal Realm to investigate this matter. I still have the demonic mission to complete."
Chu Caiwu suddenly remembered that helping Immortal Lord Ruichen to become a demon was indeed a big trouble, but she also wanted to investigate the blood slaves, so she had to go to the fairyland.
Chu Caiwu said firmly: "I also want to go to the fairyland to check."
Yin Zhuo looked at Chu Caiwu in surprise. He absolutely could not allow Chu Caiwu to leave his sight, because he absolutely could not reveal his identity as a fairy.
The differences are growing.
Go to the fairyland or stay in the human world?
