Chapter 98: Infiltrating the Demon World
Ji Weihang has partial access to the secret realm, which is the result of her staying here for many years.
This secret place is very wonderful - it is everywhere, can be entered from anywhere, and can lead to any place.
Therefore, Ji Weihang was able to use his authority to enter here in the Pingyao area.
Therefore, she was able to pass through it and enter the demon world.
She found a cliff with familiarity and touched the cliff lightly. The solid cliff rippled like an illusion. She passed through and saw a dark and deep swamp in front of her. The black trees that blocked out the sun were tall and thin, and their roots were densely packed in the swamp.
This is Jiugao in the demon world, an area ruled by the Star Blue Crane Demon clan.
She changed her appearance, concealed her whereabouts, and moved through the woods that took root in the swamp.
When she stepped on the soft black soil, her feet would sink slightly, making walking not very smooth, but there was also an inexplicable sense of relief. She did not deliberately try to avoid sinking.
When she walked to the tallest black tree in a hundred miles, the communication token lit up.
She answered the call.
At this time, there was still a quarter of an hour left before the half hour she and Jiang Yan had agreed to meet.
There was a bright light on Jiang Yan's side, and he knew she had arrived at a glance: "So soon?"
"You actually came in." Jiang Qian was a little surprised, and then ecstatic, "I'll go meet you now."
"Have you brought everything?" Ji Weihang said, "I won't take you away if you don't get everything."
Jiang Qian shook the transparent jade box in her hand and said, "I have it."
She glanced in a certain direction and whispered, "An aunt came with me. I will find a way to get rid of her. Where should we meet?"
Ji Weihang said: "In the four districts of Jiugao, the tallest black ze tree."
Jiang Yan said, "Okay."
Hang up the communication.
Ji Weihang glanced around, climbed a tree and hid his tracks.
This is the demon world. She entered without a permit. If she is discovered, she will suffer.
The demon world is different from the devil world. They are more disciplined, understand rules, and are more united.
Although both respect the strong, there are huge differences between the demon clan and the monster clan.
She squatted on the tree and saw a huge tree with lights on in the distance.
The trunk of the tree is about thirty meters wide, and the tree house is built in a spiral shape around the thick trunk. Over there is the demon settlement in the fourth district of Jiugao, where you can see the demons' daily lives.
Jiugao was very familiar to Ji Weihang.
Thirty-five years ago, Ji Weihang was practicing in the ancient secret realm and accidentally passed through the secret realm and arrived at Jiugao.
Met Yaohe.
At that time, Yao He was only a twelve-year-old child, and was troubled by the fact that he could not understand the lessons taught by Teacher Bai Ze.
When he learned about Yao He's identity, Ji Weihang decided almost instantly to build a good relationship with this child.
——
Jiugao is headed by the crane monster Xinglan clan. Yaohe’s sister Yaodi, who is from the same mother, is the monster king in charge of this place.
The Xinglan Clan has always been regarded as the wise men who assist the Demon Emperor and loyal followers. They treat people within the clan and outside the clan equally, are kind, keep their promises, and are very prestigious.
But everything changed after the current demon king came to power.
First, Yao Di killed his mother to ascend to the throne, which was a heinous crime, and he slaughtered his own sister in a cruel manner.
Fifty years ago, Yao Di was dissatisfied with her mother's intention to make her half sister her princess. She killed her mother and seized the throne before the Demon Emperor was dissatisfied with her mother "joining forces with the demons without permission". She also killed all her sisters except Yao He, including their father-in-law.
Secondly, after Yao Di came to power, he showed an image that was very different from all the previous Xinglan clan leaders.
The Xinglan clan is mainly responsible for enlightenment, education, and regulation, but after Yaodi came to power, her image became more like an executioner under the Demon Emperor than a teacher. She used punishment and majesty to control her subordinates, and was ruthless and cruel.
But the effect is also obvious. No one dares to disobey her orders.
Those tribes that had dared to refute the opinions of the Xinglan tribe leader in the past now dare not speak.
Of course, there were also demons who tried to resist, saying that she was ruthless and obviously unwilling to be inferior to other demons. They said that she coveted the throne and submitted evidence to sow discord between her and the Demon Emperor.
As soon as she learned about this, she caught the demon who spread the rumor and beheaded him in public.
Then, in public, he cut off his thumb, which was connected to his lifeline, and handed it to the Demon Emperor to show his loyalty.
The Demon Emperor accepted it with a smile and expressed his complete trust in Yaodi's loyalty.
No demon dared to disobey Yaodi's orders anymore.
Even the Phoenix and Bai Ze clans, which have close ties with the Demon Emperor, have to stay away from the limelight.
And Yao He is Yao Di's only weakness.
——
Ji Weihang knew that if Yao Di found out that she had been close to Yao He for more than 30 years, this demon king who loved his sister as his life would definitely chase her to the ends of the earth and make her never have peace.
Fortunately, Yao Di should be with the Demon Emperor Jiang Po now, and will not suddenly appear in this remote area of Jiu Gao, so there is no need to worry.
While waiting for Jiang Yan, Ji Weihang couldn't help but think about Fu Xuan's current situation.
She knew how unbearable the effect of the formation was.
Can Xiaoxuan make it through?
"Hey, are you there?" A crane demon whispered under the tree, pulling Ji Weihang back to her senses. She took a closer look and saw through Jiang Yan's disguise.
She did not respond immediately, but waited for a moment with cold eyes.
Seeing that Jiang Yan was getting anxious, but no ambush appeared, he showed up and caught Jiang Yan.
"Things." She said concisely and stretched out her right hand.
"Why are you hiding? I definitely won't ambush you!" Jiang Yan put the nearly smashed thing into her palm, looked back, and said urgently, "Hurry up, hurry up, Aunt Bai Ze will catch up soon!"
"Why didn't you tell me earlier that Bai Ze was following you?" Ji Weihang put the thing in his arms, pulled Jiang Qian, and quickly slid his fingers in the air to draw a symbol.
The space in front of him twisted and an entrance appeared. At the same time, a breeze blew from behind him.
"Jiang Yan!" the female voice behind him said angrily, "Are you so stubborn that you won't change your ways?"
Jiang Xuan would not stop. She half pushed and half pulled Ji Weihang into the entrance and said urgently, "Go, go, go—"
The entrance to the secret realm swallowed up a man and a monster.
Aunt Bai Ze only grabbed a corner of the clothes.
"It is indeed the Demon Emperor's child." Aunt Bai Ze scratched her fur, sighed and sent a message, "Tell Jiang Po that her son [Note 1] finally managed to escape."
——
"What kind of place is this?" Jiang Qian twitched her nose and then said, "How can there be such a secret place? How are you so lucky? Not only can you come across such a place, but you can also enter and exit it at will?"
She transformed into her original form, a brightly colored phoenix about two meters tall, rolling around in the grass, exclaiming happily, "Ah! Freedom!"
Ji Weihang looked at her.
I always feel that the impression I had when we first met is shattered before my eyes.
"Is there another person here?" Jiang Xuan had a very keen nose. She spread her wings and flew in the air, looking at the boundless secret space with admiration, and said casually, "It must be your cultivator friend. She smells like she's dying."
"Come down, or I'll go alone." said Ji Weihang.
Jiang Xuan fell down and turned into a human form. He grabbed her clothes and looked around. Everything he saw was new and interesting. "Are you the son of heaven? It seems that you have been very lucky except for the setback fifty years ago."
Ji Weihang didn't bother to pay attention to her and directly teleported to the vicinity of the formation.
This is also part of the secret realm's authority.
She was able to bring Jiang Yan in because she used her authority to relax the "scope of mutual trust."
On the contrary, when she brought Fu Xuan in, she deliberately narrowed the "scope of mutual trust."
"Oh - a very exquisite secondary formation." Jiang Yan observed the formation curiously and then said.
After escaping from the cage, everything made her feel happy, including the spirit gathering formation built above the Heart-Searching Pass.
Jiang Qian’s teacher is the best teacher in the demon world. Don’t be fooled by her well-developed appearance, for she is actually very knowledgeable.
Ji Weihang looked at Fu Xuan and frowned slightly.
Fu Xuan sat motionless in the center of the formation, his expression calm.
Was the impact so great that his sea of consciousness was damaged, or did he really master the trick?
Do you want to interrupt?
But would it give Fu Xuan a feeling that he didn't trust her?
Both of them were well aware of the trust test just now. In this situation, showing distrust again might lead to a breakdown in the relationship.
Especially when Fu Xuan was going through a difficult time.
Jiang Qian didn't have so many thoughts as her and simply broke the center of the formation.
The formation stopped, Fu Xuan slowly opened his eyes, saw a man and a monster, opened his mouth, and immediately tilted his head and vomited.
"Wow, do I look so disgusting?" Jiang Yan touched her face jokingly.
"Ugh——" Fu Xuan couldn't spit out anything, but tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"Wow!" Before Jiang Yan could finish her words, Ji Weihang turned around and kicked her away.
Jiang Yan drew a graceful arc in the air, fell into the grass, rolled over, and lazily stopped moving. "Call me after you leave!"
When Ji Weihang turned his head, Fu Xuan had already recovered his breath and his expression had returned to normal, with only a little moisture in the corners of his eyes.
"Sister." Fu Xuan's voice was a little hoarse. He cleared his throat and said, "Did you have a smooth journey?"
Ji Weihang hummed, handed her a kettle, and said, "Don't be impatient, take your time.
"It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out for the moment. The flow rate here is different from the outside world. You can stay here and practice slowly before entering the game."
Fu Xuan took a sip of water, exhaled, and nodded.
Ji Weihang took out the Purity Fruit and handed it to her, "This will help."
After hesitating for a moment, Fu Xuan took it calmly, "Thank you, sister."
"It seems that asking your conscience is effective." Ji Weihang smiled and called to the phoenix rolling on the grass, "Jiang Yan, come here. I have something to tell you."
"Why, do you need my help?" Jiang Yan appeared in front of them and said, "Another deal, another price."
Fu Xuan looked at the demon tribe that seemed particularly tall because they were standing close to him, and curled his lips.
"How much do you know about what happened fifty years ago?" asked Ji Weihang.
Jiang Yan simply answered, “I know nothing.
"Fifty years ago, I was only a little older than Yao He. I was still competing with the teachers in the academy because of skipping classes. I didn't know anything about your human race."
"But," Jiang Yan said in a long voice, "If you really want to know, I have a few demon candidates to provide. I know someone who might know the inside story."
From her attitude, Ji Weihang knew she had conditions. "What do you want?"
Jiang Yan grinned, "I want to follow you."
Fu Xuan glanced at her, curled his lips, and drank some water.
To the surprise of the people and monsters present, Ji Weihang agreed, "Okay."
Jiang Yan blinked: "...Really?"
Ji Weihang said: "Well, get ready, we will go to the Abyss Secret Realm later."
Jiang Yan nodded without hesitation...paused, "Huh?"
She said, "Are you going to the Abyss to die? The game will start in ten hours. If you go to the Abyss, you may not be able to get out before the game starts.
"Then we can't be sure about the safety of the area when the game is released. We might be ambushed."
Ji Weihang said: "I promised you, if you don't want to go it has nothing to do with me."
"Why wouldn't you want to go? It's so exciting!" Jiang Yan blinked and said excitedly, "That's the secret realm of the abyss! How can you get such an opportunity normally?"
Fu Xuan glanced at Jiang Yan and turned to look elsewhere. She knew she couldn't go and shouldn't go.
Ji Weihang reminded: "It's your turn to speak."
Jiang Yan said: "One is Yao He's sister Yao Di. She killed her mother and took the throne in the name of 'the clan leader joined forces with the demons without permission and defied the emperor's majesty'. She must know something about this."
Ji Weihang remembered the light blue short curly-haired demon that appeared in the scene flashback.
"Then there's Bai Ze," Jiang Qian's ears moved flexibly, "They are listening all the time."
"Of course, my mother must know, but you probably don't want to ask her." Jiang Yan said briskly, "Especially since you stole her son."
