Chapter 73: Reinforcements in the Demon Realm
Following Sang Chu’s gesture,
Tu You then noticed the wood spirit pet flying towards the Sky Wolf Demon territory: 【Isn’t this too risky? 】
Sang Chu chuckled: 【No, the little spirit pet can instantly come to my side or enter the Jade Bracelet Space, so there’s no danger. Let’s head to where the Great Celestial Master is ambushing first. The little spirit pet will likely attract many demons later. 】
Hearing this, Tu You was greatly alarmed: 【What if we can’t hold them off! 】
Sang Chu: 【We won’t. The Demon King won’t truly stand by and do nothing. Why do you think the Sky Demon Wolf didn’t seize the opportunity to kill the Great Celestial Master while he was ill? 】
【Wasn’t it because Old Fish saved him? 】
Sang Chu shook her head: 【That’s because the Great Celestial Master cannot die. So, the Great Demon Wolf and Hu Sui simply did him a favor. This is also why Old Fish, knowing Hu Sui’s son was the true killer of her granddaughter, still maintained a good relationship with him. The world is bustling, all for profit. If there were no interests involved,
with Old Fish’s abilities, the Sky Demon Wolf would have been killed countless times over. But he is still alive today because his backing is deep and his connections are strong. Therefore, the Great Celestial Master cannot die. Once the Great Celestial Master dies and his sect discovers his life token has shattered, the peace between the Demon Realm and the outside world will be destroyed, and the Sky Demon Wolf will become even more rampant, with no one to stop him. 】
Tu You: 【But that doesn’t make sense either. If the Great Celestial Master’s life token shatters, won’t the Celestial Masters come to avenge him and relentlessly pursue the Sky Wolf Demon? 】
Sang Chu chuckled: 【The Great Celestial Master’s cultivation is already depleted here. Will more powerful individuals still come? The more formidable the character, the more they fear death. Except for those who truly care about the world, others will preserve themselves. 】
After hearing Sang Chu’s explanation, Tu You finally understood: 【So, you mean, as long as the Great Celestial Master doesn’t die, no one will know what happened here. Other Celestial Masters will also believe that as long as the Great Celestial Master is here, it’s safe, and more Celestial Masters will continue to arrive. The Demon King is now using the Celestial Masters’ hands to destroy the current balance of the Demon Realm. Therefore, he doesn’t care what happens to the Great Celestial Master, as long as he doesn’t die, right? 】
【Exactly, that’s how it is. 】
Tu You: 【I thought humans were complicated, but I didn’t expect demons to be so complicated too. Sigh. 】
Sang Chu said: 【It’s all the same. Those in power don’t want their positions to be unstable. Alright, let’s hurry over. Hide yourself well and make sure to time it perfectly. The moment the train arrives, immediately tie the Sky Wolf Demon onto it. 】
【I know, don’t worry, I won’t make any mistakes. 】
The two walked towards the border. At this moment, the Sky Demon Wolf had already smelled the aura of the wood spirit pet and followed the scent to the border.
The surroundings were desolate, devoid of human habitation, yet in a place with no plants, tree shadows swayed on the ground.
The Wolf Demon let out a roar, its massive body exuding black energy, transforming into countless sharp claws that lunged fiercely at the tree shadows.
The Great Celestial Master, clad in a Bagua Taoist Robe and holding a peach wood sword inscribed with talismans, was hidden in the center of the Formation, his brows filled with authority.
He suddenly closed his eyes, and the Formation moved with him, like a giant beast waiting for its prey.
The Great Celestial Master’s spiritual eyes opened, as if able to see through all things.
Under his control, the tree shadows suddenly shifted, rising from the ground like shadows and flying towards the Wolf Demon.
The Sky Wolf Demon, like a black lightning bolt, lunged at the dark shadows, its claws leaving trails of afterimages in the air, each strike precisely tearing apart the tree shadows.
The Great Celestial Master responded calmly, his feet treading the Flowing Cloud Steps, his figure as graceful and fluid as a dragon weaving through the Formation.
“Vile beast, today you shall be brought to justice!” the Celestial Master’s low shout echoed like thunder in the wilderness, causing the Wolf Demon to involuntarily retreat a few steps, a flicker of fear in its eyes.
The Great Celestial Master’s figure flashed, and with the enhancement of the Formation, his body became like a tree shadow, concealing his tracks.
Sword Qi whizzed towards the Sky Wolf Demon, forcing the Wolf Demon to retreat step by step!
Sang Chu watched from the side, astonished that the Great Celestial Master had almost subdued the Sky Wolf Demon using only the Formation and Sword Qi:
【As expected, one cannot fight against many. If it weren’t for the assistance of other demons before, the Great Celestial Master would have captured the Sky Demon Wolf long ago! 】
Tu You: 【If it could be easily resolved, this Sky Wolf Demon wouldn’t be wanted by the Time-Space Train. The criminals wanted by the Time-Space Train are those who cannot be executed within their own time-space. 】
Sang Chu: 【In simpler terms, they are powerful and influential, right? 】
Tu You nodded. The travelers of the Time-Space Train were, in a sense, law enforcers. Only after passing an assessment, proving their character and abilities, could they survive.
This was something she hadn’t told Sang Chu. She was forced to undertake this mission because the Time-Space Controller deemed Sang Chu useful, thus making an exception. As long as she could complete this task well,
she might even be directly promoted!
Thinking of this, Tu You’s future instantly filled with longing!
“Dead Taoist, you dare to injure my son!”
Hu Sui suddenly appeared, and under his control, fire dragons flew towards the Great Celestial Master.
Sang Chu quickly intervened, her water spirit pet directly raising a surging wave.
A water dragon leaped out from the waves and, with the enhancement of the Formation, barely managed to block Hu Sui’s fire dragon attack.
Ni Yu and two young Taoist boys held seals in their hands, continuously injecting Spiritual Power into the water spirit pet.
The water dragon instantly bit the neck of a fire dragon.
Boom—
With a loud explosion, the fire dragon vanished without a trace in an instant.
Hu Sui looked at Sang Chu, finding her strangely familiar: “Who are you!”
Ni Yu looked nervously at Sang Chu, then at Hu Sui, and quickly stood her ground: “This is our new senior sister from the Celestial Master’s Mansion. Hmph, Fox Demon, your wolfish ambitions will not succeed!”
Hu Sui glanced at them and sneered, “Then let’s see your abilities!”
Saying that, he raised his hand, and a large crowd of people appeared behind him. The Great Celestial Master was still occupied with the Sky Wolf Demon and controlling the Formation, unable to split his attention to help. He quickly warned, “Be careful, those are demons from the Fox Tribe and the Sky Wolf Tribe!”
Last time, he had subdued the Sky Wolf Demon without using a Formation, but at the critical moment, demons from the Fox Tribe and the Sky Wolf Tribe arrived and severely wounded him!
Sang Chu looked straight ahead and transmitted to Tu You: 【How much time is left? 】
【About half an hour. With so many demons, can we do it? 】
Sang Chu said: 【We have to, whether we can or not. Half an hour is enough. Don’t move, stay hidden. 】
Tu You didn’t know how Sang Chu planned to last for half an hour. She nervously ran to the Sky Wolf Demon’s side, ready to tie him onto the train at any moment.
Sang Chu held seals in both hands, and her Thunder Spirit Pet instantly flew to her side. As her hand grasped the Thunder Spirit Pet, it instantly transformed into a long whip, crackling with electricity.
It struck fear into the demons.
Hu Sui cautiously took a step back: “You are a lightning-element cultivator?”
The demon race feared lightning the most, and Sang Chu knew this. That’s why, upon learning she might possess lightning Supernatural Ability, she desperately cultivated her Mental Power, all in pursuit of awakening the power of lightning.
Sang Chu didn’t say much and fiercely whipped towards the demons of the Fox Tribe and the Sky Wolf Tribe.
The lightning sparks she whipped up instantly took down the lower-cultivation demons.
Suddenly,
a giant white Sky Wolf descended from the sky, stepping on Sang Chu’s lightning whip. With a swipe of its claw, tens of thousands of illusions flew towards Sang Chu in succession.
“Earth Shield!”
With a soft shout, Sang Chu raised her hands to intercept with an Earth Shield, but she was sent flying, along with the earth!
“Things that can’t get on stage!”
“Hu Sui, why aren’t you hurrying to save my precious grandson!”
