Chapter 66: Cooperation in the Demon Realm
Watching Sang Chu turn and leave,
a hint of a smile flashed in Old Fish’s eyes. A small fish swam to her side, affectionately rubbing against her tail, and asked in a childlike voice, blowing bubbles,
“Grandmother, why did you let her turn into Little Yu’s appearance?”
Old Fish gently stroked the little fish’s head and said softly, “I just want her to use Little Yu’s appearance and identity to personally kill the murderer who killed her. Little Fish, be good, hurry back and tell your brothers and sisters not to come out. Soon, the murderer who killed Yu’er will be caught.”
“Really?”
“When has Grandmother ever lied to you? Hurry back.”
Little Fish nodded, flicked its tail, and disappeared into a vortex.
Standing at the entrance to the Demon Mountain, Sang Chu sighed as she saw the images transmitted by the optical computer.
No wonder so many people died here. These demons are all more ruthless and formidable than the last.
【Optical computer, have the ingredients of that pill been analyzed?】
The optical computer was currently operating at high speed, with Tu You providing a lot of information from the Demon Realm to supplement its knowledge base: 【It has been detected. Shall I manufacture a medicine to remove the transformation effect?】
【Yes.】
Sang Chu didn’t leave immediately. Instead, she found a place to sit. Xiao Yue passed by her, glanced at her, and left without noticing anything.
This made Sang Chu even more convinced that the pill’s effect could deceive everyone!
While the optical computer was making the antidote, Sang Chu also asked it to research how to make such a disguise pearl. To her surprise, the optical computer hesitated:
【Master, there is a powerful force within this pill that the optical computer cannot replicate. The pills manufactured will not be as effective as the one you consumed.】
A powerful force?
So, this pill can deceive everyone because of this force?
Sang Chu hesitated for a long time before saying: 【If spirit stone jade is used, can it achieve such an effect?】
She threw the spirit stone jade directly into the small world for the optical computer to study. The optical computer suddenly became mechanical, and two small hands extended from its round sphere to catch the spirit stone jade.
After scanning it with its eyes, it said: 【We can try.】
It found the necessary materials from the spirit plants it had cultivated in the small world, had Sang Chu’s mental body directly catalyze their growth, and then extracted the power of the spirit stone jade to directly combine the energy and the medicine.
The power of technology is not to be underestimated. Sang Chu witnessed the birth of the medicine with her own eyes!
【Master, this medicine can be drunk directly.】
Sang Chu didn’t use it immediately. Instead, she had the optical computer continue its research and threw in the Rejuvenation Pill she had bought from Hu Sui’s stall earlier for it to study.
She, in her current appearance, followed Tu You’s instructions and found the Celestial Master’s Mansion.
“Huh? It’s a mermaid. What business do you have at our Celestial Master’s Mansion?”
Sang Chu looked at the first-rank Celestial Master before her and smiled slightly, “Esteemed Young Celestial Master, I wish to speak with the person in charge of the Celestial Master’s Mansion. Could you please introduce me?”
Gao Shuming stared intently at Sang Chu, “What are your intentions in seeking out my Master!”
Sang Chu: “Young Celestial Master, you jest. My strength is low, what intentions could I possibly have? I merely have news about a Wolf Demon that I wish to convey to the Great Celestial Master. The Demon Realm is in turmoil, and as a small demon from the Sea Tribe, I am naturally afraid. Therefore, as soon as I received the news, I rushed to the Celestial Master’s Mansion. I must return to the Sea Tribe’s territory before dark, so please, would you kindly relay my message to your Master.”
Little Yu’s voice, in this appearance, was soft and sweet, sounding exceptionally pleasant. The Young Celestial Master was captivated by the unintentional charm in the mermaid’s voice.
Even Sang Chu herself hadn’t expected this.
The Young Celestial Master mumbled, “Then wait here for a moment, I’ll go find my Master.”
“Alright, thank you, Young Celestial Master.”
Watching his retreating back, Sang Chu finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she could cooperate with a Celestial Master from the Celestial Master’s Mansion, capturing the Wolf Demon would be half done.
She didn’t wait long before the Young Celestial Master came down and said the Great Celestial Master wished to see her.
Following him up to the third floor, they pushed open the door.
Incense burned on the desk. The Great Celestial Master sat behind it, clad in a white Taoist robe and holding a fly whisk, exuding an immortal aura.
Sang Chu: “Little Yu of the Sea Tribe pays respects to the Great Celestial Master.”
He gently waved his hand, and the Young Celestial Master bowed and left.
The Great Celestial Master: “You say you have news of that Sky Wolf Demon?”
Sang Chu nodded. Thinking about the few Celestial Masters she had encountered on her way, which was a stark contrast to before, and the sparse number of people within the Celestial Master’s Mansion, this further confirmed that what Old Fish had said was likely true.
“Does the Great Celestial Master feel that there are fewer Celestial Masters recently?”
The Great Celestial Master’s eyes sharpened as he looked at Sang Chu, his voice stern, “What do you know!”
“I only know that the Sky Wolf Demon is related to a Nine-tailed Fox named Hu Sui. This Nine-tailed Fox is a Great Demon of the Fire Tribe, with extraordinary strength. If you want to capture the Sky Wolf Demon, this Nine-tailed Fox is the key.”
The Great Celestial Master: “How did you find out? And why, after getting the news, didn’t you go to your Demon King but came to me instead?”
Sang Chu gave a helpless wry smile, “If I had any other choice, why would Little Yu come to the Celestial Master’s Mansion for help? The demons of my Sea Tribe are all weak, and my clan sister was killed by the Sky Wolf Demon. The Demon King does not wish to conflict with the Great Demon of the Fire Fox Tribe, so he invited powerful external aid like the Celestial Masters, hoping to capture the Sky Wolf Demon and restore peace to the Demon Realm.
I’ve heard that Celestial Masters are all kind-hearted and benevolent, always helping the weak and punishing the wicked, never killing demons unjustly. Little Yu thus dared to come, and implores the Celestial Master to save her life and apprehend that evil being.”
The Great Celestial Master remained silent for a long time. Then, he slowly said, “Do you know what you are saying?”
“Little Yu knows what she is saying. If the Celestial Master does not believe me, he can investigate first before making a decision. Little Yu will not disturb the Great Celestial Master any further and will take her leave now. Farewell.”
With that, Sang Chu, dragging her large fish tail, left the Celestial Master’s Mansion. As she exited, she bumped into Tu You, who was looking for her.
Sang Chu blinked her eyes, completely unable to believe that the person before her was the human form of the rabbit!
With handsome features, a lean physique, and a height of 1.9 meters, was this still the little rabbit that used to constantly twitch its big ears?
Oh no, I can’t look at Tu You’s rabbit form the same way anymore!
“You…”
“You…”
The two looked at each other’s unfamiliar appearances and fell silent.
Sang Chu: 【How about we leave first and talk?】
Tu You nodded. After hiding in a place out of sight, Sang Chu couldn’t help but ask: 【Why can’t I enter the small world?】
Her mental body could enter, the optical computer could enter, any living creature could enter, but she couldn’t.
Tu You explained: 【To prevent travelers from hiding inside during life-or-death situations, the small world has a blocking formation set up. Any living creature can enter, but the contractor cannot. Give up on that.】
【So cunning!】
