The voice wasn't loud, but for some reason, it was clearly heard by everyone in Decimating Abyss City.
"Selling a donkey?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Even Hall Master Gu Yunqiu and Shen Moping, who was in charge of intelligence, had their eyes wide open as they stood rooted to the ground.
Old Ancestor Qiong Yuan, the first true True Immortal expert in the past ten thousand years, the number one expert in the world … Just as he was being worshipped by countless demons and making an oath, this voice suddenly appeared. No matter how one looked at it, it was a little inappropriate.
"Big and strong Donkey, just three Demonic Origin Crystals, and you can take him away. The price is fair, and I don't cheat anyone …"
The voice continued.
Su Yin frowned.
He was sure that he had never heard this voice before, but for some reason, it felt familiar, and he vaguely felt that it was related to him.
"Impossible …" Zhang Xuan couldn't help but shake his head.
He only knew one donkey, which was Dahei. If he wasn't mistaken, he should still be in the Jade Sea at this moment. How could he run to Demon Imperial City? More importantly … even though this fellow looked simple-minded, he wasn't weak at all. He shouldn't have been sold!
And it was only three Demonic Origin Crystals …
Demonic Origin Crystals were equivalent to three silver taels for the human race … The price of an ordinary Donkey wasn't even enough. To be honest, such a price wasn't even enough to buy a donkey whip!
Even though the other party said it nicely, it was likely that it was just a colt.
So … it shouldn't have anything to do with him!
"This is a scheme by the demon race. Even if it isn't, it has nothing to do with the human race. Everyone, don't bother about it. Continue to prepare according to what I said …" Gu Yunqiu waved his hand.
"Yes!"
Many Elders and Hall Masters retreated in unison, quickly making preparations.
The war was imminent, and there was no way out.
…
Two hours ago, in the Great Yan Royal City, Longevity Mountain.
In the courtyard, Donkey, the tortoise, and the parrot were pouring cold water on the unconscious The Great Demon.
Bliss's eyes were a little blurry, and he was about to die at any moment. He struggled to open his eyes again. Seeing that the donkey's hooves were about to land again, he couldn't help but say, "Stop, I have a way … I have a way to find grandpa!"
Regardless of whether the matter was related to him or not, if he refused to admit to it, he would surely be beaten to death. Rather than suffer, he might as well admit to it … As long as he could find his grandfather and explain himself, he would be able to live on. Otherwise, given his current condition, he wouldn't be able to last more than a few hooves!
"Oh?"
The parrot's eyes lit up, and it tilted its head to look at Zhang Xuan. "Tell me about it."
"Are you sure that Grandpa's Soul Jade Talisman is still intact?" The Great Demon asked.
The parrot nodded. "Before we came, we went to the Immortal-Suppressing Sect to take a look …."
They were only in the mood to 'interrogate' the person in front of them after confirming that their master was not dead. Otherwise, they would have killed him on the spot. How would they have the time to use fire and electricity?
"Can you take me to have a look?"
Bliss took a deep breath and tried to make his voice as steady as possible. "I can use the secret method of the Demon Clan and the will left in the Soul Jade Talisman to find the specific location of Grandpa and the traces of his activities!"
"Oh?"
The eyes of the Three Beasts lit up in excitement.
Fearing that they might not believe him, Bliss explained, "The Soul Jade Talisman contains a portion of a cultivator's soul. As long as the cultivator is still alive, there's bound to be a connection between the soul jade talisman and the cultivator. Even if I can't pinpoint the exact location, I should still be able to find the general location!"
The parrot hesitated for a moment before turning to its two companions. "Master said that this fellow is full of lies. Should we believe him?"
"We can give it a try! If he's really up to no good, we can kill him then! "the old tortoise nodded.
"Yes …" Bliss's eyes reddened.
The old tortoise had to bear the brunt of all the sufferings he had suffered. Who would have thought that he would actually speak up for him this time?
Seeing that the old tortoise had spoken up, the parrot flapped its wings and said, "Let's hurry up then …"
"I'm unable to fly in my current state. Master, please bring me back to the Immortal-Suppressing Sect and see the Soul Jade Talisman …" Bliss said awkwardly.
"Let's go!"
The Lao Mian said. With a slight jolt, its body expanded to ten meters in diameter, and the two of them sat on it.
Hu!
A streak of lightning flashed across the sky, and in just a few breaths, the Immortal-Suppressing Sect appeared before their eyes.
Its speed was even faster than tearing space apart.
Bliss quickly found Sun Zhao and took the Soul Jade Talisman.
With what had happened to Zhang Xuan and the others, all of the elders in the Immortal-Suppressing Sect had left behind a Soul Jade Talisman, and Su Yin was no exception. It was just a droplet of blood, so it had no effect on Zhang Xuan's soul.
"This is it!"
Bliss gritted his teeth as he struggled to his feet. With a flicker of his glabella, a mirror floated in the air, reflecting the sunlight and illuminating the surroundings.
Pu!
The Great Demon spurted a mouthful of blood onto the mirror, and his face paled. His black hair actually turned white for a brief moment.
Seemingly sensing his strength and blood essence, the mirror shuddered for a moment before releasing a crisp chime. Bliss flicked his finger and tossed the Soul Jade Talisman that Su Yin had left behind.
Peng!
The Soul Jade Talisman shattered in midair, and a wisp of soul mist seeped into the mirror. In the next moment, a human silhouette appeared above the mirror.
It was no other than Su Yin!
At this moment, the young man's eyes were tightly shut as he lay on the ground. Around him, four demons dressed in different colors were glaring at him with hostile gazes.
Pu!
Another mouthful of blood spurted from Bliss's mouth as he collapsed weakly to the ground. The image in the mirror vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed in the first place.
The Soul Searing Mirror not only had the ability to store souls, but it also had the ability to peer into one's soul through their lingering will. However, using it once consumed a lot of energy.
Even when Bliss was at his peak, it was already difficult for him to use the Soul Searing Mirror, let alone now.
It was already a blessing for him to be able to peer into his soul once.
"Is master unconscious?"
"Who are those demonic auras surrounding him? Is he in danger? "
The Three Beasts asked anxiously.
Their master was unconscious, and there were so many powerful demons around him. How dangerous could it be?
Just the thought of it was terrifying!
Their master must be feeling very lonely, helpless, and pitiful right now!
"Even though they'll kill me and burn me alive, I still have to save master …" Donkey was so frightened that his face paled, and his lips trembled uncontrollably.
"Those four are dressed in green, red, black, and white respectively. If I'm not mistaken, they should be the Four Great Demons of the Demon Emperor's Throne!"
After taking a few quick breaths, Bliss recovered a little and explained.
Even though they had been sealed for eight thousand years, the habits of the Giant Demon Tribe had never changed. Thus, it only took a single look for them to figure out what was going on.
"The Four Great Demons? Then they must be formidable … "
Hearing the explanation, the Three Beasts grew even more anxious. "Hurry up and lead the way! We have to save master!"
"Lead the way?"
Bliss smiled bitterly. "The Demon Kings under the Demon Emperor only appear in the vicinity of the Demon Emperor City. In other words, it's very likely that grandfather is in the depths of the Spirit Abyss Overworld! If you want to enter, you'll have to pass through the Great Qian Continent and the Great Source Continent! Even with Lao Mian's incredible speed, it'll take at least a day for you to reach the Spirit Abyss Overworld. Furthermore, the other party might not even allow you to pass through … "
Putting aside the distance between the Great Qian Continent and the Great Source Continent, there were spatial barriers and seals left behind by countless experts. Who knew how long it would take for them to reach the Spirit Abyss Overworld?
If that was the case, it would be too late.
"The Spirit Abyss Overworld?"
The parrot blinked its eyes in confusion.
The other two beasts also turned their gazes over. They knew about the Spirit Abyss Overworld, but it didn't seem to be too big! Why would there be a Spirit Abyss Overworld?
"The Spirit Abyss Overworld is divided into the Spirit Abyss Overworld and several smaller worlds. The Great Yan Overworld, Great Ming Overworld, and Great Yong Overworld are connected to the smaller worlds that have flowed out from the tributaries of the Long River. The strength of the passageways is limited, so it's impossible for Pseudo Immortals to enter. In fact, even Eternal realm experts are rare there … On the other hand, the Great Qian Continent and the Great Source Continent guard the Spirit Abyss Overworld, which is where the main stream of the Long River is located.
The Great Demon of Bliss explained the Spirit Abyss Overworld in the simplest terms.
"I don't understand. Just tell me how we can find our master quickly and save him!"
The three beasts exchanged confused glances. The parrot was the last to speak.
They couldn't care less about the Spirit Abyss Overworld or the Spirit Abyss Overworld. They only knew that their master was in great danger, and they only had one goal in mind at the moment … No matter the price, they had to save him.
"The collision between the Great Qian Continent and the Spirit Abyss Overworld ten thousand years ago left behind quite a few passageways. Some of them are wide while others are narrow. Most of them are hidden, making it difficult to find them. However, I can find them through the connection between my grandfather's Soul Imprint and his main body. As long as we can find them, we'll be able to enter the Spirit Abyss Overworld!"
The Great Demon of Bliss said.
Naturally, the connection between one's Soul Imprint and one's main body took the shortest route. As long as they could find a way, they might be able to find a passageway that no one else knew about.
Knowing the method, Bliss took out the Soul Searing Mirror and ignited his demonic yuan and blood essence once more.
Hu!
A thin line appeared on the surface of the mirror and extended into the distance.
"There's indeed another passageway …" Bliss's eyes lit up.
If they were to travel through the Great Qian Continent, the passageway should lead them to the Great Qian Continent instead of the Spirit Abyss Overworld.
Sitting on the back of the tortoise, Zhang Xuan and the Three Beasts flew along the passageway, and soon, a foggy area appeared in their sight.
The parrot, tortoise, and Donkey glanced at one another in bewilderment.
This was the forbidden area of the Spirit Abyss Overworld, where they had lived with their master for many years!
To think that this place would actually lead to the Spirit Abyss Overworld … Even though they had seen it with their own eyes, they still found it hard to believe.
The Great Demon of Bliss also realized the problem, and his lips twitched as he asked, "This … Can I enter?"
"Since we can enter, you should be able to as well. In any case, we're all Master's pets. Besides, saving someone is more important. There's no need to be so calculative," the parrot said.
They were Master's pets, and this fellow was their pet as well. It shouldn't be a problem for them to enter.
After all, they had lived in the forbidden area for many years, and they had already explored all of it.
"Alright then!"
Seeing that they had agreed to it, Bliss knew that saving someone was more important. Without any hesitation, he instructed the tortoise to follow the passageway. A moment later, they arrived before a tomb.
The words on the tombstone were already indistinct, so it was hard to tell which lingering spirit it was.
The tortoise and the others scanned their surroundings, but there were no lingering spirits around. They had no idea where they had gone either.
The Three Beasts knew that these fellows had always been eccentric, so they didn't say anything. They turned to The Great Demon, and the latter circled around the tomb before saying, "This is a passageway. As long as we enter it, we should be able to reach the Primal Chaos Overworld and find our grandfather!"
"Alright, let's not hesitate anymore. Let's go in then …"
The tortoise couldn't be bothered to waste his breath. With a slight jolt, he charged straight into the tomb. He thought that he would be able to smash the tomb into smithereens, but as soon as he came into contact with the tomb, he suddenly felt his body jolting. Before he knew it, he had already entered a pitch-black passageway.
Bliss's eyes lit up.
The places where the Primal Chaos Overworld and the Dry Origin Continent intersected were either guarded by the Alliance or hidden in the depths of danger zones, making it difficult for others to approach. He didn't expect that a small sect like the Subjugation Immortal Sect would have such a place as well.
It was no wonder why such a remote sect could produce a powerful expert like his grandfather and three immortal beasts like his master. They were indeed extraordinary.
The spatial turbulence in the passageway was such that even a Pseudo Immortal realm cultivator would be torn to shreds. However, the old tortoise was incredibly powerful, and its tortoise shell was incredibly tough. Even though the three of them hid within it, they didn't suffer the slightest injury.
After flying for an unknown period of time, the area before them suddenly widened, and a vast world appeared before them.
It was many times larger than the Primal Chaos Overworld, and the spiritual energy here was much denser as well.
The place they were at seemed to be the end of a river. Both sides of the river were wide riverbeds.
Zhang Xuan took a closer look at the direction of the thin line.
"We can just fly along the river," Bliss said.
The tortoise nodded. It increased its speed and flew straight towards the end of the river. An hour later, a huge city appeared in front of them.
The city walls were tall and majestic, and the demonic aura around them was dense.
The Great Demon of Bliss said, "This is the core of the Giant Demon Tribe, Demon Imperial City. The scene we saw earlier should have happened around here … "
"Where's master?"
The parrot flapped its wings and looked around, but it soon shook its head. It didn't see anything at all.
"Why don't you check it one more time?" the old tortoise asked.
"Putting aside the fact that I don't have the strength to check it a second time, even if I could, I don't have grandfather's Soul Jade Token with me …" Bliss shook his head.
It was not that he didn't want to check it out, but without the Soul Jade Token, where could he find it?
"It has only been two hours since we checked it out. Grandfather was already unconscious back then, so he should have been captured by The Great Demon of Four!"
"Captured?" The Three Beasts widened their eyes in shock.
"Un. What we need to do now is to find a way to sneak into Demon Imperial City and find out where grandfather is being held captive. Otherwise, if we rush in recklessly, the other party might threaten us with his life, and we won't be able to save him …"
Even though Zhang Xuan's grandfather was invincible in the world, it was hard to say what would happen to him now that he was unconscious. On top of that, the Great Demon Tribe was known for their bizarre means. What if they really managed to kill him?
"Why don't we do the same thing as before? I'll disguise myself as your pet. In any case, you are a demonic cultivator. As long as you channel your demonic energy, no one should be able to see through your disguise …"
Donkey said.
Previously, he had gone to Salt City with Zhang Xuan and found the donkey pelt of his good friend Blackie.
"Alright …" Bliss nodded.
He was a demonic cultivator, and he was skilled in disguise as well, so it shouldn't be too difficult for him to sneak in. As for the Three Beasts, they didn't emanate the slightest ripple of energy, so no one should be able to see through their disguise as his pets.
"Let's go!"
After the discussion, Zhang Xuan instructed the Three Beasts before walking toward the city gates.
At this moment, Demon Imperial City was shrouded by a massive barrier. It was impossible to fly in without using the city gates.
The city gates had already been cleared, and there were still many great demons entering and exiting the city. The Three Beasts didn't seem to attract much attention, so they didn't attract too much attention.
"If you wish to enter, you'll have to pay the entrance fee of three demonic energy crystals. If you can't pay the entrance fee, don't waste our time here …"
Just as they were about to enter the city gates, a great demon guard suddenly stepped in front of them and spoke impatiently.
"Demonic energy crystals?"
The Great Demon of Bliss and his three tamed beasts glanced at one another. They had been living in the human world all this while, so how could they possibly have such a thing?
It was impossible for them to barge in forcefully, and those who didn't have money wouldn't allow them to enter …
"In the past, when Zhao An ran out of money, he would sell my companions. Why don't you sell me for three demonic energy crystals? As long as we sneak into the city, I'll be able to escape …" Dahei snorted coldly as he sent a telepathic message to Zhang Xuan.
Back when he was still an ordinary donkey, his master, Zhao An, was extremely poor. When he ran out of money, he would sell his donkey … That was how he lost contact with many of his friends.
That was how he was sold to the Quimmortal Subjugation Sect and met his master.
"Alright then …" Bliss nodded.
He did have some medicinal herbs on him that he could sell, but they were simply too valuable, and it would be easy for him to expose his identity. On the other hand, selling a donkey was the simplest and easiest option.
Donkey Roasted Donkey Meat was extremely popular even among the demons.
In any case, he was selling Donkey, so the parrot and the old tortoise didn't have any objections. Bliss walked over to the side of the road and hesitated for a moment before shouting.
In order to prevent others from recognizing him, he even changed his voice and shouted, "Donkey Roasted Donkey! Donkey Roasted Donkey Roasted Donkey Roasted Donkey! It'll definitely be delicious! "
But before he could finish his words, a deafening rumble suddenly echoed in the sky. A figure appeared above Royal City, and lightning bolts rained down from the sky.
"Is that … a True Immortal?" Bliss narrowed his eyes as his body stiffened.
"What's a True Immortal?" the Three Beasts asked.
Bliss didn't explain. Instead, his face paled as he asked, "Someone has just made a breakthrough to the True Immortal realm. Could it be related to my grandfather?"
The Great Demon of Heaven Elemental had regained his cultivation as a True Immortal, and his level of existence was completely different from before. Even though Bliss had sensed his demonic aura previously, he was unable to recognize him after his transformation. He thought that the other party was an expert of the Giant Demon Tribe, or even … the Demon Emperor!
"What do you mean?"
"My grandfather's cultivation is unparalleled, and his body contains a lot of Saint Ki. Could it be that … an expert of the Giant Demon Tribe killed and ate him? Otherwise, without Saint Ki, it's impossible for him to make a breakthrough to the Pseudo Immortal realm!"
Bliss revealed his conjecture.
Eight thousand years ago, he had tried everything he could in order to make a breakthrough to the Pseudo Immortal realm, but to no avail. Yet, as soon as he arrived here, he saw someone making a breakthrough …
Coupled with the fact that Su Yin was surrounded by four Demon Kings two hours ago, it was hard not to think of it as such.
"Master has been eaten?"
The eyes of the Three Beasts immediately reddened as they turned to look at the figure in the sky.
How dare you eat our master …
We'll kill you!
(Author's Note: The end of the fourth volume, Demon King Selling Donkey. This volume revealed some of the truth about the Master Teacher Continent, as well as the uniqueness of the Subjugation Immortal Sect. I feel that some parts of it are unsatisfactory. For the next volume, I intend to refine the character design and write more about the glorious achievements of mankind in the war against the Giant Demon Tribe. Tomorrow, I'll open the fifth volume. Fairy, please spare my life! Please look forward to it! I'll also ask for monthly votes …)
