Although the Holy City was prosperous, many low-end industries were controlled by the dark forces.
Being a guide was one of them.
To work as a guide in a certain area of the Holy City, one had to get permission from the dark forces.
Only with permission could one operate daily and offer offerings to the dark forces on time.
Su Cai 'er was too young, and it was difficult for customers to trust her. Hence, her business was quite poor.
The Time Crystals she earned every month were not even enough to pay the offerings.
Hence, she acted privately.
Her actions were naturally noticed by the local gangsters, who tried to stop her many times.
However, she had a special ability that allowed her to escape.
At this moment, she was once again targeted by them.
"Brothers, please do me a favor. After this, I won't work anymore." Su Cai 'er was still young, and she looked like she was pleading.
After obtaining the 100 Time Crystals, she brought her mother and Aunt Xueyi away from the old city to find another place to settle down.
Of course, she didn't need to work in their territory anymore.
"If everyone could be forgiven, would there still be any need for rules?" The bearded man walked forward with a fierce look on his face. "You don't need to rely on luck anymore. The Gang Master has already noticed you and ordered us to capture you. Obediently surrender and follow us back."
Because of Su Cai 'er's appearance, several gangs had begun to follow her example and become private guides.
Hence, the Gang Master had personally ordered them to capture Su Cai 'er at all costs and punish her severely as a warning to others.
The bearded man and the other three approached her with cold eyes.
Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, Su Cai 'er lowered her voice and said, "Customer, you should leave first. I will come back to find you later."
If Su Yu still followed her, he would definitely be implicated.
After saying that, Su Cai 'er quickly slipped away.
She was human, but her movement technique was strange and brilliant. She disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
His speed was so swift that he could probably compete with Yellow Daolord.
The men were only at the Yellow Path Master's level, so they couldn't catch up to Su Cai 'er.
However, they weren't too flustered.
The bearded man sneered, "Do you think you can escape from the person that the gang leader wants to capture personally?"
The man took out a talisman and stuck it on his body. His figure turned into a series of afterimages as he sped away.
The other men did the same, using strange talismans to chase after him.
Only Su Yu was left.
He laughed softly, but it was a self-deprecating laugh.
"I was tricked. Hehe, I thought I met a good girl."
He mistakenly thought that Su Cai 'er and this group of people were on the same side.
Su Cai 'er was in charge of swindling money, while this group of people pretended to be chasing after her, giving her a reason to escape and swindle money from the outsiders.
Su Yu had seen too many similar scams.
He just didn't expect that he would fall for it.
"There are times when I make mistakes." Su Yu sighed helplessly. "Fine, I will go by myself."
In any case, he had already arrived at the old city, so he should not be far from the possible location of the demonic sect's ancient tomb.
Su Yu took out two bottles of Extreme Yin Demonic Energy and walked over slowly.
Half a day later …
Su Yu successfully arrived at a deserted place in the Sacred City.
This place was filled with abandoned houses that no one lived in, weeds growing everywhere inside, vicious spirits roaming about.
Wisps of Yin Qi emanated from the abandoned residence.
It was as if there was a monster hiding in every abandoned house that was ready to devour people.
Even though it was broad daylight, Su Yu could still feel the chilly air.
He then looked at the two bottles of Extreme Yin Demonic Qi in his palms. The Demonic Qi was also spinning strangely.
It drifted to the east, then to the west.
It was impossible to pinpoint the correct direction.
"It should be around here, but I don't know exactly where it is," Su Yu murmured softly.
He looked around, secretly using his Soul Eyes to see through everything.
However, he did not find anything out of the ordinary.
It was the same underground. Everything was normal.
After searching inside and out for a long time, there was no trace of the demonic sect's ancient tomb. Su Yu could not help but feel suspicious.
"Was my speculation wrong?" Su Yu stared at the Extreme Yin Demonic Energy.
Could it be that the Holy Demon was not in the ancient tomb, so he could not discover where it was?
As Su Yu was deep in thought, a cracking sound interrupted his thoughts.
It was the sound of a tree branch being crushed.
Although it was weak, how could it avoid Su Yu's senses?
Without thinking, the Mysterious Path Energy in his body shook violently, and a wave of solid waves swept out.
Suddenly, a delicate cry could be heard.
Looking back, Su Yu realized that it was Su Cai 'er, who had already swindled the Time Crystal and escaped!
"It's you?" He tapped the tip of his toes, and the Mysterious Path Energy retreated just as it was about to attack her.
Su Cai 'er's face was slightly pale, and her eyes were filled with shock.
It was as if she was shocked by Su Yu's cultivation level, which was way beyond his age.
"Why are you here?" Su Yu had assumed that Su Cai 'er was a liar, so his attitude was naturally not good.
Su Cai 'er did not feel Su Yu's cold intent. She blinked her bright eyes and said, "I came to look for you. I haven't finished showing you the way."
Show me the way?
Su Yu was slightly stunned.
He looked around and finally realized that Su Cai 'er had a rather strong hidden injury on her back.
It must have been left behind by some kind of fatal attack.
Su Cai 'er should have been seriously injured or dead. She had only managed to survive because of some special abilities.
Moreover, the injury was left behind just now.
"Are you injured?" Su Yu asked.
If Su Cai 'er was really just putting on an act to cheat the Time Crystal, there was no need for her to act so realistically.
He could imagine that the chase just now was not an act. It was real!
Su Cai 'er pursed her lips and shook her head. "I'm fine. The guest's business is more important."
How could she be fine?
The hidden injury was still there. Although it was not life-threatening, it was still painful.
Even now, she had still dragged her injured body to look for Su Yu.
"Is it worth it? It's just a mere 100 Time Crystals, "Su Yu asked.
Su Cai 'er said, "It's worth it! But it's not for the money. My mother once taught me that I must keep my promise. "
Just because of a promise?
Looking at the little girl in front of him, her clear and pure eyes, Su Yu was moved. He smiled and said, "You have a good mother."
Her mother must be very special to be able to raise such a child.
"Guest, where do you want to go?" Su Cai 'er asked again.
Su Yu pointed to the barren land in front of him. "I'm already here."
Ah?
Su Cai 'er looked around and reluctantly took out her space storage device. She said, "I'm sorry, guest. I couldn't show you the way. I'll return the 100 Time Crystals to you."
Since he had not finished leading the way, he naturally could not accept money.
"You don't have to return it." Su Yu paused, then said, "Let me ask you a question. The money is still yours."
With the little girl's nature, she would not accept money for no reason.
It was better to let her answer a question in return.
"Okay, ask." Sure enough, the little girl's eyes lit up.
