The deeper she walked, the brighter the light became. Along the way, she did not encounter any traps or the like. She was still rejoicing in her heart, when suddenly, a white light flashed in her surroundings. Spiritual swords appeared in the air one after another, flying towards her.
The hell!
She couldn't dodge it this time.
In the nick of time, the Risefire Beast which had been quietly bouncing, leaped forward, blocking in front of Zhu Yao. Those spiritual swords struck onto its scales, and disappeared as they fell onto the ground.
Zhu Yao heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank you!"
"Meow ~ ~" The Risefire Beast had a prideful look. Lowering its head to take a look, it realized that the paw it carefully protected had already fallen onto the ground. Its ears drooped down, as though it had suffered some sort of injury, and began to whimper. "Paw … My paw …"
"…" It's not like it broke. Was there a need to do this? "Enough. When we get out later, I will help you hold all four of my paws, alright?"
Its eyes shone once again.
Zhu Yao began to carefully inspect the corridor. Earlier, when the spiritual swords appeared, she clearly sensed the ripples of a formation. She looked around for a moment, and realized that on the stone pillar on the left, there was an offensive formation engraved. It was a formation that gathered spiritual energy to form a sword formation. However, the runes on it were a little ancient, and did not look like the runes of the current era. Instead, they looked a little like the sealing runes her master had taught her back then.
Zhu Yao frowned. It seemed like this place wasn't very safe either. As she continued to walk forward, she became a little more careful. As expected, she discovered a different formation on the pillar in front of her. The deeper she walked, the more complicated those formations became. She carefully circled around them, and instantly, she became a little more anxious.
After walking for about an hour, she finally reached the end. A gigantic stone door appeared in front of her. She saw the lifelike carvings on the door. The gigantic demonic beast which had its eyes closed, Zhu Yao felt the malice of the entire world.
"Lord, lord, lord …" The Risefire Beast excitedly hopped around in front of the door.
Suddenly, a blinding white light emitted out from the door. The terrifying demonic beast engraved on it came to life, and a terrifying pressure came from all directions. Even the entire ground began to shake. That gigantic demonic beast suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of blood-red pupils that were several times larger than the Risefire Beast's.
"Who are you?" The beast spoke in human language, its voice as loud as a bell. It reverberated in the surroundings for a long time. There was also a huge stench of blood coming towards them.
"…" Zhu Yao did not reply.
The gigantic beast on the door looked around, and its line of sight stopped on Zhu Yao. Its killing intent was overflowing. "You're actually a practitioner. A trifling Foundation Establishment cultivator was also able to reach here, then … "His murderous aura suddenly intensified quite a bit. His blood-red eyes narrowed slightly as he said in a deep voice, "I'll just eat you to my heart's content."
That terrifying beast head. Suddenly, it stretched out from the door, and opened its bloody mouth towards Zhu Yao.
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched, gathering the spiritual energy that she had accumulated with much difficulty earlier. He raised his hand and slapped it.
Pa! A crisp sound echoed.
The giant beast was instantly enraged.
"Roar ~ ~ ~" He opened his mouth and bit towards her.
Zhu Yao sighed. Just as it was about to touch her … He shouted. "Sesame!"
"…" The beast's head was stunned. Its eyes widened as it stared at the person standing in place. It even blinked its eyes in disbelief.
"Why are you inside?" Zhu Yao felt a slight headache.
"Mas … Mistress?" The demonic beast's voice instantly lowered by a few tones, and its blood-red eyes began to turn misty. "It's … It's really you?"
Zhu Yao looked around. "Why are you locked in the door again?"
"Mistress …" Sesame seemed to have only just confirmed the person in front of him. His tears splashed out, one drop, two drops … In just a few moments, it was as though a faucet had been opened, as they flowed out. "Waah, mistress … You've finally come to find this beastie. Waah … This beastie thought that he would never be able to see you again. Mistress … Mistress … Waah …"
"Enough, enough, stop crying!" Such a huge beast, if it continued to cry, its water would swell, you know?
"Waaaah …" Sesame, however, continued to vent its grievances, and cried until it could not catch its breath. "Mistress … You don't love this beastie at all, and only came to find me now. Waaaah …"
Uh, could she say that she was not here to find it in the first place?
Looking at its uncontrollably sad look, Zhu Yao decided not to tell it this cruel truth.
"Alright, alright. Aren't I here now?" She stroked the beast's head. "Tell me, just what happened? Didn't you return to the Demonic Immortal Continent? "
Only then did Sesame stop crying. As it sniffled, it said with a complaining tone, feeling wronged. "Mistress … The beasties of the Demonic Immortal Continent bullied me. They despised me for having signed a contract with a deity practitioner, and having the aura of a deity practitioner on me. This beastie returned to find you, but mistress wasn't around. Later on, this beastie had nowhere to hide, and was captured. The Palace Master then threw me into the Lower Realm again, and even said that I would never be able to return. "
So the reason why he was chased down was because of her. Wait a minute!
"Again?" Zhu Yao caught onto a keyword. "You have an old grudge with that so-called Palace Master?"
"Uh …" Sesame's expression stiffened, and its eyes began to wander.
Zhu Yao's eyes sank. "Speak the truth."
Sesame's large mouth flattened, and looked at her pitifully. "It's … It's a little misunderstanding …"
"Mn?"
"It's mainly because I, this beastie, am simply too handsome." It shook its head. "I accidentally caught the eye of the princess, and the Palace Master forced me to marry her. I wasn't willing, so he chased me down to the Lower Realm …"
"…" The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. "Are you sure that she's the one who's secretly in love with you, and not the one who's plotting something against her?"
"How's that possible!?" Sesame said with a stern look. "Why would I like her? You don't even know this, but though she's a princess, she's a beastie with only two legs. I'm a handsome beast with four legs, there's no way I'll marry someone with two legs! "
"…" What did this have to do with legs? "Are you sure that it wasn't because you abandoned her, and that's why her father stood up for his daughter?"
"I've only seen her once." Sesame said with an unfortunate look. "Back then, it was also because I ran away from my marriage, which was why I was sealed in that mustard seed dimensional space, and thrown down to the Lower Realm. I never expected that after so many years, she's still lusting after my beauty … Wuuuuuuu, mistress, this beastie's life is so bitter! "
You godzilla, where did your beauty come from, hey!?
Zhu Yao sighed. Pointing to the place where it resided, she continued to ask. "And then? And why were you sealed in this door? "
"I don't know either." Sesame shook its head. "When I descended to the Lower Realm, I simply felt that something was guiding me over here. When I woke up, I was already on this door. I tried many times, but I could only stretch my head out from this door, and was basically unable to escape. That's why I wanted to gather demonic beasts of the same species over, to help me break this seal. In the end, I waited for two hundred years, and only encountered a single Risefire Beast. "
"Meow ~ ~" The Risefire Beast obediently responded.
"After that, I decided to lure human practitioners over, and see if they had any solutions. In the end, mistress, you came." The more it spoke, the sadder it felt, and its tears once again looked like they were about to overflow. "Mistress, this beastie is so pitiful."
"Isn't this what you asked for?" Back then, how good would it have been if it had stayed in Lightning Divine Hall? It just had to return to the Demonic Immortal Continent to seek torture.
"This beastie knows its wrongs. Mistress is so incredible, you definitely know how to remove this formation. Mistress, save me …"
Zhu Yao raised her head and looked at the flowing characters on the door. Sesame had really guessed correctly. She really knew how to remove it.
"This isn't a formation." Zhu Yao frowned.
"Ah?"
"This is a seal." Those familiar characters, were the runes of a seal. This arrangement and the ripples of aura, this was clearly a … "Devil Restraining Seal. This is a low-level sealing art used to restrain Devils."
"Devil?" Sesame was startled for a moment, and then began to twist. "But this beastie is a beast."
This was something she could not understand as well. Although the Devil Restraining Seal was only a low-level sealing art, it would only react to Devils. Unless …
"Sesame, when you were sealed in here, the injuries you received back then had yet to fully recover, right?"
Sesame nodded.
As expected, back then, it was heavily injured by Yue Ying. Yue Ying was a Devil, so naturally, there would be remnants of devilish energy on its wounds. This was also a low-level sealing art, so it was directly sealed in as a Devil.
Sesame, you bitter bastard!
"I will let you out now. Retract your head back!"
"Alright meow ~. I knew mistress is the best, meow ~" Sesame happily retracted its head.
Zhu Yao sat cross-legged and took a deep breath. During the journey earlier, the spiritual energy in her body had recovered a little. This time, she would have to hand it all over again. She circulated her spiritual energy, turning them into thin spiritual threads. Then, she wrapped them around those runes, following the circulation method of the seal, and then, she pulled them in the opposite direction.
A moment later, the door began to emit out a white light, which grew brighter and brighter. A circular formation suddenly appeared on the door like a projection, and it was constantly spinning. Until the words on it could no longer be seen clearly, a ray of light directly flew out from within. The circular formation slowly dimmed, and then, it disappeared.
In front of Zhu Yao, there was already an additional baby-faced young man. The sleeves of his white robes even had a familiar pattern of auspicious clouds. It was the uniform of Ancient Hill Sect in the past.
"Mistress …" The young man leapt up, and pounced towards her.
Zhu Yao threw a slap onto his face, and with a strong push, she stood up.
Sesame immediately laid on the ground. As though it had already gotten used to her violence, it hugged onto her thigh instead, and rubbed against her with a satisfied look …
"I'm finally out. Master really loves beastie the most. Oh ~ ~ ~ beastie wants to give birth to monkeys for you."
"Scram!"
Zhu Yao kicked away this sticky candy. After taking a closer look, the door earlier had already disappeared, and there were two additional pillars that were the same as the ones in the corridor. Suddenly, there were six more forks in the road ahead. Every single one of them was bottomless, and no one knew where they led.
Was this the rhythm of entering a maze? (To be continued)
Therefore, it was decided that it would be three in the morning.
Yes, she was that capricious.
