Chapter 030 Stealing the Demon
After leaving Shengming Palace, the remaining ordinary women dispersed while whispering. It was getting late, and it was time to go back and rest after completing the task.
Someone who was close to Li Shan wanted to go back to the house with her, but was knocked unconscious by Wei Hang and locked in a barrier in a deserted place.
Weihang quietly blended into the shadows and entered the side hall of Shengming Palace.
The side hall of Shengming Hall is filled with various weapons and materials, like an armory with a dazzling array of items.
These are Bandaiichi's private collection and will be given to the mothers who have made outstanding contributions as rewards.
While Ji Weihang was carefully searching for the sword he wanted, he was eavesdropping on the conversation between a man and a demon in the main hall.
"..." Bandai said, "I don't know what you think you saw. Whatever it was, it wasn't what you thought."
"Oh?" Ji Chengyuan bit out a simple word, and the lingering sound lingered in his ears. "If that's the case, why did you send those old women away? I believe they are discussing us now."
Wei Hang opened the sword box carefully, but did not find the sword he wanted.
"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out today?" Bandai's voice was calm, but even Weihang in the side hall could hear the implicit threat.
"Wow, I'm so scared..." Ji Chengyuan's voice was full of laughter, "Don't scare me with these things, I only need one thing, and I will keep my mouth shut, how about it?"
"What?"
What? Wei Hang in the side hall also pricked up his ears.
"Po Mo, give it back to me." Ji Chengyuan raised his voice, as if to emphasize something, "That is my mother's sword. You humans are not worthy of owning it."
"No." Bandai refused without hesitation, "The demon is a trophy that belongs to all mankind. I have no right to give it to you. I am only responsible for keeping it."
Po Mo is a sword made by the previous Demon Emperor Ji Yuan himself. The abyss aura emitted by the material made from the Demon Abyss can suppress the demons.
In the great war four hundred years ago, Ji Yuan and Wan Aodao died together. Wan Daiyi picked up the sword that had lost its master, and from then on, the Sword of the Demon Emperor fell into the hands of human swordsmen.
Over the past four hundred years, the demons have repeatedly requested to force the demons back to their tribe, but have been rejected. Forcing the demons to return to the human race, both in strategic and practical significance, is equivalent to a natural advantage over the demons, so of course it is impossible to just give them back to them.
Wei Hang walked around a pile of demon materials and continued looking for the sword he wanted.
Ji Chengyuan didn't think that the other party would agree as soon as she said it, and continued: "Ying Feiqiong just came out of the Three Realms Secret Realm an hour ago, and as soon as she came out, she got in touch with the people from your Wanjian Sect.
"What's going on? Do I need to tell you?"
She spoke with confidence and pride, as if she had caught the other party's handle. "Although I don't know why, you have intentionally kept her in the Three Realms Secret Realm until now."
"This is the dark side of the secret realm trial. If I spread it, the prestige of the first sect of the righteous path will probably be reduced."
Wei Hang, who was quietly walking around the axe on the ground, paused and couldn't help but think, "That's it?"
That’s it though, but it’s not over yet.
Ji Chengyuan said proudly: "I have already seen the memories of Ying Feiqiong in that box. The real memories have also been hidden by me."
“Is this memory important to you?
"You said you can't make the decision on your own about returning the demon to me, so you should discuss it with the people involved in this memory."
"Yunlong Palace, Xuefeng Sect, Gui Yan, Zhong Lingxiu... these are all familiar names. The most important one is, of course, the famous leader of the righteous path, Wanqi Shuang." Ji Chengyuan snorted and laughed, and said, "You guys should be able to come to a decision on the exorcism after discussing it together, right?"
Wei Hang's movements slowed down. Ying Feiqiong's memories? Has she read Ying Feiqiong's memories?
Wei Hang urgently looked through Li Shan's memory. Li Shan's mind was slow, and the senior sisters took care of her and rarely let her participate in dangerous work. She stayed in the inn after completing the task until the senior sisters called her to return to the sect in a hurry.
Ying Feiqiong’s memories should be about what happened at that time.
For a moment, she didn't know whether she felt it was ridiculous that she had searched for the memory for a long time but couldn't read it, but Ji Chengyuan got it so easily, or whether she was happy about this strange coincidence.
——The memory is in Ji Chengyuan’s hands, so her possibility of getting the memory is greatly increased.
The atmosphere in the main hall was heavy and almost suffocating, Wei Hang waited for Wan Daiyi's reply. Based on her understanding of Wan Daiyi, Wan Daiyi would not accept such blackmail.
Sure enough, she soon heard the sounds of fighting.
Ji Chengyuan was obviously injured, and his voice was no longer as vigorous as before, but he was still blackmailing stubbornly, "I'll give you one day to decide. At this time tomorrow, I want to see the demon appear next to the teleportation array of Yeli Tower in Bahun City."
"I'm sure you won't like this memory being made public."
After a while, there was one less presence in the main hall.
There were some dull footsteps coming towards the side hall.
Wei Hang quickly blended into the shadows and squatted on the beam.
Bandai entered the side hall with a cold face, twisted the sword hanging on the wall, and suddenly a secret passage and stairs appeared.
After Bandai walked away, Weihang took advantage of the fact that the door of the secret passage had not yet been completely closed and blended into the shadows inside.
The walls here were made of some material that blocked spiritual consciousness, so she did not discover the existence of the secret passage at first.
She followed behind Bandai carefully, not too far away, to avoid being discovered by following too closely.
After walking for a while, Wan Daiyi seemed to calm down and his footsteps became silent again. Wei Hang could only estimate the distance between the two of them and did not dare to use his spiritual sense to detect it.
Although they had never actually fought, Bandai's spiritual sense must have been much sharper and stronger than hers, so they could not alert the enemy.
After a while, she heard a slight ding sound coming from below and guessed that Bandai had reached the bottom.
So he quickened his pace slightly, but didn't dare to keep up completely, until he could hear Bandaiichi's voice, and then he stopped.
In fact, this distance was already very close. She could see the dark room at the end of the stairs, which was illuminated by a bright light, and the shadow of Mandai was elongated by the light and cast on the wall of the stairs.
"Ji Chengyuan read Ying Feiqiong's memory and took it away." Wan Daiyi said in a deep voice, "She said she wanted to exchange it for the demon."
In communication? Wei Hang guessed.
Communication equipment is more or less available in all the major clans. In the past, Ming Xianzong also had two.
"..." After a few seconds of silence, a low female voice sounded, "We can't be sure of the confidentiality of the message."
Wei Hang frowned slightly, it was indeed a familiar voice.
"..." Bandai was silent.
"She doesn't know how precious that memory is." The female voice said in a low hoarse voice, "She only sees the most superficial things."
"If she wants to force the demon, give it to her, but don't give it to her directly." The low female voice said, "You decide the specific plan. I believe you know the most appropriate way to do it."
Wan Dai hummed, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Have you ever thought about how to face Wei Hang?"
"...I'm afraid I won't have the chance to meet her." The female voice said in a low, hoarse voice, "If you see her, please give her my regards."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Wan Daiyi stood quietly for a moment and walked towards the stairs. The moment she stepped onto the stairs, a small shadow quickly moved into the darkness of the dark room.
As if sensing something, Bandai paused and turned his head slightly.
Weihang held his breath, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Bandai finally continued to move forward.
Hearing the tiny sound of the secret door opening and closing, Wei Hang stood up from the shadows, stood in the dark room, and looked around.
In addition to communication equipment, there are many other things stored here, all of which are precious spiritual treasures.
Her eyes fell on the sword on the wooden table. It was similar to the Jade Bone Sword, and its entire body was as crystal clear as white jade.
Holding the white jade sword, the moment she held it, the sword made a humming sound and pressed intimately against her palm.
This sword is not only similar in appearance to the Jade Bone Sword, but also in material. Both are sword bones from a generation of genius swordsmen.
"Junior sister..." Wei Hang gently stroked the sword, and his low voice echoed in the dark room, like a sigh, "I'm here to take you home."
This is her purpose this time.
"I'm sorry, you have to stay in the Chaos Furnace for now." She said softly and handed the sword to Kunqing who appeared beside her.
After Kunqing returned to the furnace, she gently stroked the dragon and phoenix pattern on her left arm, and then shifted her attention to other spiritual treasures.
All of these were Bandaiichi's collections. They were undoubtedly top-level spiritual treasures. Even if they were not heavenly, they were still special. For example... Her eyes fell on the giant black sword in the corner.
The previous Demon Emperor carried a sword and forced the demons to retreat.
It leaned against the wall alone, and the surrounding spiritual treasures stayed away from it. This was because the evil spirit on the body of the demon was too "poisonous" for other spiritual treasures.
Thinking of Ji Chengyuan's words, she approached Po Mo and tried hard to release her natural affinity for all kinds of spiritual creatures. Gradually, Po Mo restrained the demonic energy that he had deliberately released and allowed her to hold it.
"You should have heard their conversation just now. I will send you back to your master's child. Can you stay in my furnace for a while?" She tried to soften her voice.
After receiving the affirmative thoughts from the demon, she handed it to Kunqing and put it in the Chaos Furnace. It was not impossible to collect it by force, but it would easily cause trouble.
After looking around, she turned into a shadow and moved towards the secret door. After reaching the secret door, she paused for a moment with some trepidation before pressing the door-opening button on the wall next to her.
There weren't thousands of swords pointed at her outside the door.
Heaving a sigh of relief, she jumped onto the beam and crawled out of the house, ready to slip away, but suddenly met Bandai's expressionless face.
Her heart skipped a beat.
"Where did this little thief come from?" Wan Dai frowned and reached out to grab her shoulder, "Ji Chengyuan's accomplice?"
It seemed that he didn't see through her identity... Weihang turned into a shadow to avoid Bandaiichi's hand, blending into the darkness and moving quickly.
She didn't want to fight with the leader of the Wanjian Sect.
The teleportation array in the yard was flickering with a bright light. It was Bandai's magic array, which temporarily blocked the function of the teleportation array.
The speed of moving in the darkness was not fast enough, so Wei Hang jumped out from a corner and controlled an ordinary flying sword to fly towards the gate of Wanjian Sect.
The barrier at the mountain gate is closing, and we won’t be able to get out in a while.
Her figure flying away on the sword caught Bandai's eye, but the leader did not chase her personally, but asked the awakened old women to take action.
The old women happily joined the night chase - it was a rare occurrence for someone to come to the Wanjian Sect to steal things!
Every time they passed a hill, more people would join them. In just a few breaths, Wei Hang looked back and saw that there were already hundreds of people behind them.
The young sword cultivators seemed to be treating this as a bit of fun in their ordinary daily lives. They chased and called out to their companions, their laughter mixing with the wind:
"Her sword-controlling speed is comparable to that of Immortal Lord Changming, right?"
"It's so funny, I can't catch up at all."
"Such a powerful person came to steal things? I said that the leader must have secretly hidden a lot of good things!"
Countless colorful attacks came at her, but were sucked into the Chaos Furnace by her sleeves, causing a cry of surprise:
“Awesome!”
"Is this a magic weapon or a spell?"
“…”
Listening to the voices of the teenagers, Wei Hang's mouth twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but think back - she shouldn't have been so out of tune when she was young, right?
When she was flying past a certain location with a group of people following behind her, the light of the formation shone brightly. She looked down and met the eyes of the person who appeared in the center of the formation. Those eyes were light gold and did not have much emotion.
Wanqi Shuang!
“It’s Immortal Lord Changming!” The young men behind him cheered and shouted, “Elder! Someone here stole the master’s things!”
You better shut up... Seeing from afar that there were people guarding the mountain gate barrier, Wei Hang's thoughts raced, and he turned the tip of the sword under his feet and rushed straight towards Wanqi Shuang below. In mid-air, he twisted his body and spread his sleeves. The young sword cultivators lost their balance under the huge force and strong wind, and rushed towards Wanqi Shuang with screams.
Behind him are countless sharp swords.
Wanqi Shuang caught the old women who had fallen into a ball, and blocked the swords for them. When he had his hands free, the figure in old woman's clothes had disappeared into the teleportation array.
Fortunately, just like fifty years ago, it was still a fixed-point teleportation. Wei Hang, who used the fixed-point teleportation method urgently, successfully escaped from the Wanjian Sect and appeared in the Eight Souls City.
Fixed-point teleportation only requires inputting enough spiritual power to be activated directly, unlike long-distance teleportation, which requires changing the array pattern.
She knocked out the guards from the Eight Souls City and disrupted the formation patterns on the ground. The originally lit light dimmed and could not be used temporarily.
Although he was temporarily relieved, it was not time to rest yet. Ji Weihang's spiritual sense swept across the city, looking for Ji Chengyuan's whereabouts.
Since Bandai has agreed to exchange them in Eight Souls City tomorrow, it means there is a way to find Ji Chengyuan's whereabouts in Eight Souls City.
She stole Pomo in order to exchange Ying Feiqiong's memory before Bandai, so now of course she has to find Ji Chengyuan as soon as possible.
The people from the Wanjian Sect will chase us through other teleportation arrays.
——This time, it’s not just Wanqi Shuang.
