Chapter 70: Setting a Trap in the Demon Realm
The Great Celestial Master was silent for a long time.
He looked at Sang Chu with sharp eyes, his gaze following her every move, “In that case, I’ll trouble you, fellow Daoist.”
“Then I won’t disturb the Celestial Master. I hope the Celestial Master can rest well during this time.”
“Mm, then please stay at the Celestial Master’s Mansion, fellow Daoist.” After speaking, he called out towards the door, “Little Ni.”
Ni Yu quickly walked in, “Master, you were looking for me?”
“Mm, you first take this fellow Daoist from the Fire Tribe to rest.”
Ni Yu glanced at Sang Chu and nodded, “Alright, fellow Daoist, please follow me.”
“Thank you.”
After speaking, Sang Chu turned and followed Ni Yu away.
The Great Celestial Master’s gaze had been on Sang Chu the entire time, never leaving her. He didn’t know what Sang Chu truly intended to do, but for now, as she had said, he could only cooperate with her.
Otherwise, no matter how many people entered the Demon Realm, they would all die.
Thinking of this, he was deeply worried, hoping no one else would come to the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm was no longer what it used to be.
Tu You followed beside Sang Chu, looking at her calm demeanor, and was very anxious: 【 What are you thinking? Why didn’t you discuss with him in detail how to proceed? 】
Sang Chu: 【 If I discuss it with him, he’ll only become more wary of me. That’s why I only made a proposal. As for the rest, as long as his brain isn’t faulty, he’ll handle it himself. 】
Tu You: 【 What if he schemes against you! 】
Sang Chu sighed softly: 【 Do you know why I didn’t give him a potent healing agent? 】
【 No. 】
Sang Chu: 【 With this healing agent, although he’s recovered seventy to eighty percent, it will still take at least a few more days to fully recover. And once he recovers, he’ll look for a suitable place to set up traps. However, he needs to avoid everyone’s sight so that the Sky Wolf Tribe demons don’t become vigilant. Therefore, he’ll have to do this himself. This means setting up traps will take at least ten days. 】
Hearing this, Tu You suddenly understood: 【 No wonder you repeatedly confirmed the train’s arrival time with me before. You were calculating how to directly lure the Sky Wolf Demon onto the train! 】
Sang Chu nodded: 【 Exactly. Although my strength has increased significantly, I know my limits. A direct confrontation is absolutely impossible. Even if the Great Celestial Master recovers to his peak, who can guarantee that the Sky Demon Wolf won’t have bodyguards following him?
This kind of second-generation demon is the most typical example of the small getting beaten and the old coming out. What I need to do is not to compete with them in strength, but to have the Great Celestial Master help me stall the Sky Wolf Demon as much as possible. As soon as the train arrives, you immediately turn invisible and drag him onto the train. This way, it will be foolproof. 】
Tu You suddenly stopped and looked at Sang Chu with a meaningful gaze: 【 You’re really, so cunning. 】
【 These are normal means of self-preservation. However, just in case, you should leave first and then return invisibly. Don’t let anyone discover your presence. I’m worried the Sky Wolf Tribe might send many experts to protect the Sky Wolf Demon, this second-generation demon. Also, go check the Time-Space Mall to see if there are any ropes that he can’t break free from. 】
Tu You: 【 There should be. Level 2 travelers can usually access the mission mall, where there will be corresponding magic tools. Although you’re not a Level 2 traveler, you’ve been forcibly assigned a mission. Logically, you should be able to upgrade exceptionally. Wait, I’ll go negotiate with the higher-ups for you. 】
【 Okay. 】
Although Sang Chu didn’t know who Tu You’s “higher-ups” were, they were certainly not ordinary people. It was better for her not to know what she shouldn’t.
Tu You glanced at Ni Yu, who looked confused and kept shifting his gaze between him and Sang Chu, and said loudly, “Alright, since you’re here, I’ll leave first. I’ll come find you later.”
After saying that, he walked straight out. Ni Yu couldn’t even stop him, “He, he just left like that?”
“Don’t worry, he’s very trustworthy. Let’s go.”
After following him to the guest room, Ni Yu looked at Sang Chu as if he had something to say but ultimately turned and left without a word.
Tu You went directly to the Time-Space Mall, while Sang Chu sat on the bed and meditated, doing her best to increase her mental power.
Only when her mental power reached a certain level could she ensure she would be aware when the train was about to arrive.
Unlike in the Monster Transformation World, where she was unaware even after boarding the train.
Ten days passed.
During this time, the Great Celestial Master never contacted Sang Chu. Ni Yu took care of her daily life and meals.
That night,
Tu You, who had been guarding Sang Chu as she meditated and cultivated, suddenly sensed a strange aura drifting out. He looked at Sang Chu, who was still meditating, thought for a moment, didn’t disturb her, and only left a message on her optical computer before following it out.
The aura drifted all the way towards the border between the Demon Realm and the Human Realm.
On the desolate plain, with no one around, Tu You was wondering why he couldn’t see anyone when the Great Celestial Master tore off his invisibility talisman.
Tu You couldn’t help but laugh. The Great Celestial Master had this skill too!
The Great Celestial Master, seeing that no one was around, took out the talismans he had drawn during this time and placed them one by one according to the positions of the Nine Dragon Demon Subduing Array.
However, the formation required too many talismans.
It was almost dawn when he finished placing the ones he had drawn so far.
He was covered in sweat, looking at the half-finished formation, a smile appeared on his lips.
He formed hand seals and hid the formation, then immediately turned invisible and left.
Tu You, after confirming he had left, looked around at the formation.
【 What a magical formation! 】
Sang Chu, just waking from her meditation, heard Tu You’s exclamation and asked, 【 What are you talking about? 】
【 A Chu, you’re awake. I was telling you, I smelled a strange aura just now and followed it out to find the Great Celestial Master. He set up a very strange formation at the border. Even I can’t sense all the auras of this formation. I’m from the Elf Race, naturally sensitive to smells. No aura can escape my nose, but this formation, even I might fall for it! 】
Hearing Tu You’s words, Sang Chu couldn’t help but worry. After thinking for a long time, she said, 【 Is the explosive formation disk for that formation still out of stock? 】
Tu You: 【 I don’t know. Last time they said it was out of stock. The trend in the Demon Realm has been strange lately, and trade with the outside world has decreased. I’ve bought everything I could find, but merchants basically don’t sell magic tools, explosive beads, or formation disks! 】
He got angry just talking about it. Now they don’t even sell scrap materials, saying they can be further refined by artifact refiners.
Sang Chu: 【 Do you know where Hu Sui and the Sky Demon Wolf’s territories are? 】
【 Yes! 】
【 Then let’s go rob them. They should have these things. Scour as much as possible and divert their attention away from the Celestial Master’s Mansion. 】
