“That’s right,” the leading man explained, “In this area, there are often beautiful demonic cultivators, both male and female, who lure righteous cultivators into the Feather Terrace Tower. If they cannot resist the temptation… they will become the demonic cultivators’ furnaces.”
The man looked at Tianning with the same worry in his eyes as he spoke:
"But they don't just deceive righteous cultivators; these wicked demonic cultivators also abduct young children, so it's really not safe for you to stay here..."
After listening to what the other party said, Tianning roughly understood the situation.
On the surface, Yutai Tower tricks righteous cultivators into becoming their cultivation partners, but behind the scenes, it's also involved in child abduction.
The abducted children were all very young, and their whereabouts are unknown.
The righteous cultivators Tianning encountered here were all parents of the missing children. They had investigated for a long time before discovering that a few of the children had ended up here...
Concerned for their safety, the group took Tianning and the other three to their temporary residence in a remote forest in the Demon Realm.
There are also a dozen or so righteous cultivators here.
According to the man in the lead, they were all parents who had come to look for their children.
Moving around in the territory of the demonic cultivators was not easy. They were almost kicked out several times. Some parents couldn't bear it and gave up their last hope of finding their children, choosing to leave.
"Fortunately, Senior Qiao's cultivation is powerful, and those demonic cultivators are afraid of him, which is why we were able to stay here."
Tianning saw that the person the leading man was pointing to was a middle-aged male cultivator whose cultivation had reached the Nascent Soul stage. However, he had no Daoist partner by his side, and his back view looked particularly lonely.
During the conversation, Tiandao, who was surrounded by a group of female cultivators, couldn't stand it any longer and squeezed out.
Unlike those two real children, he wasn't being driven crazy by women choking him with "Baby~ Baby~"!
"Ningning!"
Tiandao leaned closer to Tianning, wishing he could disappear on the spot: "When are we going there to investigate?"
“Baby, that’s not a place for you,” a female cultivator immediately said upon hearing Tiandao’s words. “I see you don’t like the candy your aunties give you. Do you want something salty? Be good, and your aunties will make it for you, okay?”
Heaven's Dao: "..."
Heaven wants to die!
Why do we have to face this kind of scene right away?
However, he couldn't inject too much spiritual power to force the ginseng's transformation to grow, otherwise it would burst from the strain!
Tianning found the old man's discomfiture amusing, and continued to ask the leading man, "What are your plans to find the missing child from Yutai Tower?"
"This... is not something you children should worry about. After tonight, I will have someone send you away from the Demon Realm. You should go home as soon as possible."
The man in the lead seemed to have a plan, but he wasn't comfortable revealing it.
Before Tianning could ask any more questions, Senior Qiao walked over unnoticed. He spoke, his tone tinged with weariness: "You can tell them the plan."
"ah?"
“They are not ordinary children,” Senior Qiao said, pointing to Long Yunqi and Xiao Tengman who were being pampered by the group. “Those two children are probably no weaker than you. They can be of help. Come in with me.”
After saying that, he didn't forget the remaining Heavenly Dao: "Although this one is weak, it's still passable."
Heaven's Dao: "..."
Tiandao's face was extremely ugly!
Senior Qiao, however, looked up in surprise at the dark clouds that had suddenly gathered in the sky and frowned. Why was it raining when the weather was so nice?
In response, Tianning said, "We also came here to find our missing fellow Daoist. It would be great if we could be of any help."
Seeing that she said that, the leading man, although he didn't quite understand why Senior Qiao said those two children were stronger than them, still explained his plan:
In order to infiltrate Yutai Tower and find out the truth, this senior Qiao has been practicing a collarbone technique for many years, and now he can finally shrink his body to the size of a seven or eight-year-old child's skeleton.
Their plan was to first open up the interior and then coordinate with the outside, but the dangers involved were unknown, and the others here were not comfortable with Senior Qiao going alone.
Now that Senior Qiao has offered to let the three children go with him, everyone else is at a loss for words...
Tian Ning had no objections, but Tian Dao had a lot to say!
"No way! The number 4 is unlucky!"
The three of them, plus this guy surnamed Qiao, the four of them, looked like they were about to get into trouble!
Besides, if there's any fighting or killing involved, those two little guys can handle it. What can he do with ginseng essence all by himself right now?
In a crucial moment, let your teammates bite you a couple of times to increase your team's combat power?
"You're quite superstitious for your age."
Senior Qiao said, "Don't worry, I will protect your safety."
Heaven ignores him.
Merely at the Nascent Soul stage...
Faced with the old man who was so timid just because he had changed his appearance, Tianning blinked: "You mean you want to come with me?"
Heaven's Dao: "..."
The Way of Heaven suddenly found peace.
Even if it's dangerous for him to follow these people, could it be more dangerous than following this girl?
Heaven's Way: "I'll go!"
Tianning: "..."
So, I'm being sent on a perilous journey?
With the addition of Tian Ning and the other three, these cultivators who had lost their children saw more hope.
The plan will begin tomorrow. First, Senior Qiao will take the three little ones of Tiandao to wander around the Demon Realm, while Tianning will wait with the others at an inn near the Feather Terrace Tower that they have rented in advance. After confirming Senior Qiao's location, they will break in and find the place where the children are being held!
In order to ensure the success of this day, Senior Qiao spared no effort and consumed the mother and child Gu worms with another person. This way, no matter where Senior Qiao was, the other cultivator who consumed the mother Gu would be able to find his location!
Before parting, Tiandao, lacking any ambition, asked Tianning for a mustard seed bag full of defensive talismans.
Tianning still dotes on the old man; he used to take care of her, but now it's the other way around.
She asked curiously in a low voice, "Old man, if you don't like someone, can you strike them with lightning?"
"That's not child's play. Can you just kill someone for personal grudges?" Tiandao said seriously.
Tian Ning nodded: "Then don't chop randomly if you encounter danger."
Heaven's Dao: "..."
Heaven glared at her!
Seeing the heartwarming interaction between the two, one of the female cultivators couldn't help but feel envious: "My child was about the same size back then, a soft little bundle. I wonder if he's grown a lot since I last saw him a year ago..."
"We'll find it," Tianning said.
