"Trident Gang?"
Su Yin turned to Qiu Zhaojun, and the latter hurriedly explained, "The entrance to the danger zone is extremely narrow, so there isn't much spiritual energy and treasures that would gush out every time it opens. In order to obtain more benefits, many of the cultivators who are familiar with one another would band together to form a new gang to compete with one another. In truth, it's just a temporary alliance. Once they leave the danger zone, they will disperse …"
"I see." Su Yin nodded.
Naturally, the cultivators had their own means to survive in the danger zone.
"How dare you! Grandpa Bliss is back! Scram to the side!"
The Great Demon of Bliss placed his hands on his hips and bellowed furiously. How dare a bunch of weaklings step forward to stop him?
He had lost his dignity before his grandfather. Everyone had forgotten that he was once the Demon King who made the entire Dry Origin Continent tremble in fear. This was a good opportunity for him to show off before these cultivators.
Su Yin was just about to reprimand the other party to keep a low profile when a middle-aged man from the Trident Gang walked out with a mocking look on his face.
"Grandpa Bliss? You mean The Great Demon of Bliss? "
"Indeed!" Bliss nodded.
"Hahaha!" The crowd burst into laughter. The middle-aged man's face gradually darkened. "Stop putting on an act here. If you are The Great Demon of Bliss, I am the Junior Uncle of the Subjugation Immortal Sect! Bai Zhe, bring those self-proclaimed Demon Kings over so that they can get to know one another … "
"Alright!"
A young man hurriedly left the room. Not too long later, he returned with three short children. Upon closer inspection, they bore some resemblance to The Great Demon.
"Let go of me! I am The Great Demon of Bliss! How dare you capture me? Do you believe that I won't kill you?"
The child at the very front bellowed furiously.
"I am the Great Demon of Bliss! Don't you dare spout nonsense here!"
"You must be joking! As long as you let me go, I'll give you a huge fortuitous encounter!"
The other two children spoke up as well.
"…" Su Yin and the others glanced at one another.
What was going on? Why were there so many The Great Demon of Bliss here all of a sudden?
Was the name of the Demon King so famous?
"Who do you think you are? How dare you impersonate me …" The Great Demon of Bliss was furious. Just as he was about to scold them, Su Yin frowned and said, "That's enough!"
Feeling uncomfortable, he quickly shut his mouth.
"Since you all know that Ji Le is a supreme figure who can move unhindered between heaven and earth, how could he be captured so easily?"
Su Yin looked at the three children.
"Idiot! I was sealed here for eight thousand years, and as soon as I escaped, I was captured by that Junior Martial Uncle of the Zhen Immortal Sect. My injuries were too severe, and I didn't even have a tenth of my original cultivation. Isn't it normal for me to be captured?"
The child who had spoken first sneered coldly. "As long as you release me and allow me to enter the perilous lands of the Celestial Jade Sea, not only will I be able to recover swiftly, I'll even be able to provide you with a huge fortuitous encounter, allowing you to achieve a breakthrough to Zongshi realm or even inherit my heritage!"
"Stop putting on an act here. I'm the real deal. Let me go and I'll take you to find the treasure!"
"I have been trapped here for eight thousand years, so I know the situation inside the Danger Zone like the back of my hand. You won't be wrong to listen to me. However, I will need some resources to allow me to recover my cultivation in advance …"
The remaining two were not to be outdone either.
"Shut up!"
Interrupting the trio, the middle-aged man turned to Su Yin and sneered, "Why? Judging from your appearance and age, are you saying that you're the Junior Martial Uncle of the Zhen Immortal Sect?"
"Don't be rude! He is indeed Su Yin's Junior Martial Uncle!" Fei Ting frowned.
"Hahaha!"
Hearing those words, the crowd burst into laughter once more. With a livid face, the middle-aged man bellowed, "Do you think that I'll call you fat? You're really courting death by lying to our Trident Gang. Men, capture these swindlers … "
Boom!
Before he could finish his words, the entire island suddenly shook violently. Rays of light burst forth from not too far away, illuminating the sky. Following which, spiritual energy gushed into the surroundings frenziedly. The purity of the spiritual energy was comparable to that of a Tier 1 Spirit Vein.
"The perilous lands have opened!"
The middle-aged man bellowed as he hurriedly flew in the direction of the spiritual energy. The members of the Trident Gang quickly followed behind him, and soon, they had occupied the area where the spiritual energy was the densest.
Su Yin and the others glanced at one another before flying over as well.
At the very center of the island, a pitch-black passageway with a diameter of around two meters appeared before their eyes. The dense spiritual energy in the surroundings came from this passageway.
"This is the entrance … It doesn't open for too long each time, so we have to enter as soon as possible!" Qiu Zhaojun said.
Su Yin nodded as he drove the flying ship over.
But before he could reach the passageway, the face of the middle-aged man from the Trident Gang darkened, and he bellowed, "We have already occupied this area. If you wish to cultivate, you should head to the outer perimeter. Otherwise, don't blame us for getting nasty …"
Paying no heed to the other party, Su Yin continued driving the flying ship toward the passageway.
"You're courting death!"
Seeing how brazen these 'imposters' were, the middle-aged man's face reddened in anger. He raised the sword in his hand, intending to rally the crowd to strike down the wooden ship. However, at that moment, the young man on the deck also took out a sword and slashed it lightly at the black passageway.
Kacha!
The two-meter-wide passageway widened to several dozen meters in an instant. The surrounding space was shattered by the sword qi, causing debris to fly everywhere.
Hong long!
The flying ship charged toward the shattered space, and a brilliant light shone in the surroundings. Inscriptions surfaced on the surface of the flying ship, and it was as if a great path had shrouded the ship. Even though the surrounding space was shattered, it was unable to harm the cultivators on the ship at all.
"…"
The middle-aged man's body stiffened, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground. At the same time, the others also felt their legs going weak, and they found themselves unable to stand up anymore.
The passageway to the danger zone had only been this big ever since they arrived, so only a small number of people were able to enter each time. Yet, in order to allow the flying ship in, that fellow actually tore the passageway apart with a single slash of his sword …
More importantly, this wooden ship was actually impervious to the destruction of space …
"Gang leader, it seems like … that person is the real The Great Demon of Paradise, and that young man is the real Junior Uncle of the Immortal Subduing Sect …"
The young man named Bai Zhe spoke with a trembling voice.
"I-I know …" The middle-aged man's face turned livid.
No matter how foolish he was, it was clear that the young man was the real deal. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to wield such strength and cultivation!
It was laughable that he had thought that the other party was a fraud …
He turned to look at the real fraud, only to see that their faces had darkened, and they were foaming at the mouth. Unknowingly, they had been inflicted with severe injuries.
With their bodies trembling uncontrollably, the members of the Trident Gang collapsed to the ground.
They had no idea when the other party had made a move or who it was … If the other party had used such means on them, there was no way they would have been able to withstand it either!
Unknowingly, they had walked right into the jaws of death …
It was fortunate that their Junior Uncle and the others had good tempers, or else they would have been dead by now!
…
"Grandpa, you … Why did you … Why did you …" On the deck, Demon King Bliss didn't feel suspicious or nervous when he saw the flying boat tearing the space apart and forcing its way into the dangerous place. Instead, he recalled the scene just now, and his eyes were filled with doubt and confusion.
He wasn't the one who had injured the three impostors but the young man before him.
Didn't the other party hate him and look down on him?
Why would the other party help him teach those three impostors a lesson?
"Do you want to ask why I injured those three impostors?" Su Yin replied calmly without turning his head. "They have tarnished your reputation. You should be thankful that they are only severely injured …"
"Grandfather …"
The Great Demon of Paradise's eyes reddened.
This was the first time he felt warmth ever since he reunited with his family.
It turned out that … his grandfather didn't treat him as an outsider but as a member of his family!
Beating is a sign of affection. I won't complain anymore if my grandfather orders them to beat me up again …
Oblivious to his thoughts, Su Yin harrumphed coldly. If you can impersonate The Great Demon today, does that mean that you can impersonate me tomorrow? If I don't teach you a lesson now, who knows what will happen in the future?
I mustn't let you off so easily!
Un, it's all Paradise's fault. I'll just have to find an excuse to get Xiao Wu to teach him a lesson …
"Those people are probably itinerant cultivators who know of The Great Demon's reputation, so they decided to impersonate him in order to scam him of some good stuff …"
Qiu Zhaojun shook his head.
Those people were clearly good at looking for opportunities. They knew that everyone was afraid of Paradise, so they decided to impersonate him to scam him. Yet, due to the sheer number of them, the middle-aged man was able to tell that something was amiss. In the end, they ended up meeting the real demon king …
Hong long!
While they were speaking, the flying ship suddenly jolted. Only then did the group realize that they had passed through the pitch-black space and arrived at a vast space.
There was no sunlight here, so it was dark and gloomy. The spiritual energy in the air was violent, similar to the environment in the Spirit Abyss.
Just as Su Yin was about to take a closer look at the surroundings, Liu Yiyi's voice suddenly sounded, "Senior granduncle …"
Su Yin turned around and saw the young lady trembling uncontrollably, seemingly on the verge of collapsing.
"The environment here is too harsh. It's several times worse than the Spirit Abyss. She's only a Transcendent Mortal, so I'm afraid that she won't be able to withstand it. Let's get her out of here first …" Fei Ting said.
Su Yin nodded.
As expected of a danger zone. They hadn't even gone to the more dangerous places yet, but just the powerful gales and violent spiritual energy were already unbearable.
"I won't leave. I want to find the culprit who killed my entire family …" Liu Yiyi gritted her teeth with determination in her eyes.
"You're only a Transcendent Mortal. If you stay in such an environment for too long, there's a good chance that you'll suffer irrecoverable injuries.
Seeing how insistent Liu Yiyi was, Fei Ting frowned.
After a moment of contemplation, Liu Yiyi said, "I understand. Senior granduncle, I beg of you … to draw seals and formation inscriptions on my body!"
Su Yin's lips twitched upon hearing those words.
Drawing seals could indeed ward off the surrounding gales and undercurrents, but … the other party was a lady. It would be extremely awkward for him to draw on her body while she was naked.
"You should take this Violetwood Immortal Hairpin with you. It's an immortal artifact, and it can help you ward off the pressure in the surroundings …"
Su Yin flicked his wrist and passed the wooden hairpin back to Liu Yiyi.
"This … I can only use this immortal hairpin to alter my appearance. I can't use it or tame it …" Liu Yiyi's face reddened.
Immortal artifacts were powerful, but if one couldn't tame them, they wouldn't be of much use to her.
"That's simple …" Su Yin nodded. Then, he turned to the wooden hairpin and instructed, "Let her tame it!"
"Yes …"
A crisp sound echoed from the wooden hairpin. Following which, it flew up and pricked Liu Yiyi's finger, swallowing a droplet of blood.
Weng!
A brilliant light flashed, and Liu Yiyi immediately sensed the prowess of the immortal artifact. Even though she wasn't able to drive it with her current strength, it was more than enough to ward off the pressure in the surroundings.
Liu Yiyi's body jolted.
Her father had been in possession of this wooden hairpin for eight years, but he hadn't been able to tame it at all. She had also studied it for two years, but to no avail. Yet, with just a single sentence from the young man before her, the wooden hairpin was already so frightened that it was willing to be tamed …
How powerful must one's cultivation be in order to achieve such a feat?
Liu Yiyi's face reddened in embarrassment as she said, "I promised to give this immortal artifact to Senior Granduncle. Senior Granduncle might be powerful, but with the augmentation of the immortal artifact, you should be able to grow stronger …"
She had offered this immortal artifact to the young man before her in hopes of exacting vengeance for her … but in the end, she ended up taming it instead. She had gone back on her words …
"It's fine …" Su Yin shook his head as he flicked his wrist..
Huala!
Pots, bowls, ladles, basins, chopsticks, zithers … There were more than a hundred of them in total, and every single one of them emanated an aura that was even more powerful than the Violetwood Immortal Hairpin.
"Immortal artifacts … I have plenty of them!" Su Yin said.
"…"
Liu Yiyi's body swayed weakly.
Fei Ting and the others were dumbfounded as well.
Even the top sects of the Great Qian Prefecture and Dayuan Prefecture were unable to obtain these immortal artifacts, and yet, Zhang Xuan actually took out more than a hundred of them …
Did he have to go that far?
"Yes …" With a bitter look on her face, Liu Yiyi could only swallow her words.
She had thought that Zhang Xuan was only willing to help her because of the Violetwood Immortal Hairpin, but from the looks of it, it seemed like he wasn't interested in such a trash artifact at all. The only reason he was willing to help her was because she was a disciple of the Subduing Immortal Sect!
"It's all thanks to me that I joined the Subduing Immortal Sect …"
Liu Yiyi's eyes reddened in agitation.
If not for her joining the Subduing Immortal Sect two years ago, she would have never known the truth of the matter, much less seek vengeance!
"Where is the great demon that you spoke of?"
Seeing that Liu Yiyi was no longer in pain after receiving the support of the Violetwood Immortal Hairpin, Su Yin turned to look at The Great Demon and asked.
"Let's head to the place where I was trapped first. We should be able to find the whereabouts of the great demon once we get there," Bliss said after a moment of contemplation.
The Falling Jade Sea was an extremely dangerous place. Even though he had been trapped here for eight thousand years and was extremely familiar with the area, it was still difficult for him to find a great demon.
Su Yin nodded. "Alright, point the way!"
The Great Demon nodded and pointed the way. Su Yin steered the flying ship forward swiftly.
The deeper they went, the greater the pressure they felt. The gale formed by the spiritual energy also became more and more fearsome, such that even Zongshi realm experts could feel the pressure.
"Senior Granduncle, there are many hidden spatial rifts and traps ahead. We should be careful, or else … I fear that we won't be able to return from there!"
Seeing The Great Demon driving the flying ship forward, Qiu Zhaojun couldn't help but exclaim.
The reason why the Falling Jade Sea was known as a dangerous place was because there were many hidden spatial rifts. If one were to fall into them, even Pseudo Immortals would find it difficult to escape!
Senior Granduncle, aren't you being a little too arrogant by charging ahead recklessly?
