NFBE Chapter 141 Not Surprising
Chapter 141 Not Surprising
No one believed that Mo Chu would give up this golden opportunity to breach the barrier. If he wanted to, he could definitely take over the land of Ling Shui from the demons.
However, once all the immortal sects on land receive the news, it will no longer be just a small skirmish like it is now. If that happens, all that will be left is war between the two sides.
He wasn't that stupid. The demon race was weak and needed time to recuperate. They simply couldn't possibly defeat these immortal sects on land right now.
If war were to break out, it would certainly not be now.
That's why he kidnapped people and demanded those rare and precious items to help his demon race cultivate more capable individuals.
The human and demon races already had a prior agreement. The one hundred years he promised was merely a guarantee that the demon race would no longer occasionally "disturb" the people and cause trouble, and that situations like the Red Sand Land would no longer occur.
There are many gaps between the Demon Realm and the mainland, some large and some small. The large ones, like the one in front of us, can allow hundreds or even thousands of people to pass through at a time, while the small ones can only allow one or two people to pass through at a time.
The situation is particularly severe at the border where the land meets the demon realm, where demons frequently cause trouble.
Ling Shui is not exactly adjacent to the Demon Realm, yet this gap has inexplicably appeared, and it's so large that it can't be sealed off in a short time.
Now that the elders and disciples have been captured, the remaining people naturally have to use their own methods to send messages.
As for those who "came from afar," even if a message was sent, it would take at least three or four days to arrive. That's why Mei Chu had taken this into account and gave them a ten-day deadline.
Ten days later, we sent a message, prepared the supplies, and shipped them over. That was enough.
Teleportation arrays do exist on land, but they are only short-term, only allowing travel between one to three cities. Moreover, the maintenance and usage costs are extremely high, and they are charged based on the number of people, so people don't use teleportation arrays often.
Activating a long-distance teleportation array does not require going to a designated location; it can be done from anywhere in your own area. However, it requires a large amount of spirit stones to activate the array, and also requires two Nascent Soul stage cultivators and several Nascent Soul stage cultivators to assist in activating the array and maintaining its stability.
The longer the transmission route, the more it consumes.
Taking the journey from Penglai Stream to Lingshui as an example, it might take four Nascent Soul stage cultivators and 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones to activate an array and deliver the goods to the Crimson Sand Land.
And this is just the most basic estimate.
Teleportation arrays are essentially like breaking through space to send things from one end to the other, which is not something that can be done easily. However, they are not rare arrays; it's just that the conditions for activating them are more demanding.
The teleportation array was secondary; the main thing was the rare and precious items that "Mei Chu" mentioned.
The continent of Yuanzhou is so vast that it naturally has no shortage of rare and precious items, but what exactly constitutes a rare item?
Rare items are also graded, and even these immortal sects may not have many rare items that can be recorded.
They weren't stupid either. Upon receiving the news, each sect immediately chose an address and sent people there to discuss the matter.
As for the outcome, those still on the front lines would know when Mei Chu reappeared at the breach on the tenth day, along with the arrival of that group of new faces.
There were about twenty new people, who should all be representing their respective families.
That kind of aura, and the suffocating sense of oppression that followed, was incomparable to those juniors in the audience. They must be people of importance in their respective sects, but still, no one who had surpassed the Nascent Soul stage was seen.
No, there weren't even many Nascent Soul stage cultivators present.
Such a "trivial matter" was not enough to alarm those old monsters.
Fifty thousand rare and precious items were indeed too few for them...
"They're taking so long, honestly. I was itching to kill a few to vent my anger."
"You fiend, stop your arrogance! Who did you kill?!"
"Ha, how would I know? Stop talking nonsense, where's what I asked for?"
Mo Chu's face was full of arrogance, showing no fear of these people who came.
"Where are our people?"
With a wave of her hand, Mo Chu sent a bunch of people tumbling out.
"The people are all here. Bring the things over."
The transaction was completed smoothly, with the person handed over and the goods delivered. Surprisingly, neither party tried to renege on the deal, which was quite unexpected.
As soon as Mo Chu got her hands on the item, she immediately jumped into the gap, which then slammed shut. Everything seemed as if it had never happened, but the scene outside clearly showed the signs of the demons' rampage.
Those who were high and mighty suddenly panicked and flew down to fetch their family members, counting them to see who was missing.
Having watched this pointless spectacle, Liu Jun observed the joy and sorrow of some, but no one cared about her, nor did anyone concern themselves with the rogue cultivators who had fought for days, or the solitary individuals.
Fortunately, they will be seen.
Liu Jun sheathed his sword, watched the slowly gathering crowd, and turned away.
After taking only a few steps, everything suddenly went black.
"Fuck, here we go again!"
……
……
She was probably just incredibly unlucky. Why did she always lose consciousness without warning and then wake up in a completely unfamiliar place?
She really had a lot of harsh words to say to this bizarre Heavenly Law. Why?
Why (?°?д°?)!!
How many times has this happened already? Ugh!
The first two times were alright, at least she still had her body and could make her own decisions, but this time, she was actually made a ghost!
No, the ghost cultivators here all have physical bodies. What is she? She's just an invisible and intangible ghost!
"Fuck you! Fuck you!"
Liu Jun hugged the wall and rammed it repeatedly, but since she was a ghost now, she couldn't touch anything, let alone ram into the wall. If she took two more steps, she could just pass right through it.
That's not the worst part. The worst part is that she seems to have been forced to be tied to someone—no, to someone close to her.
As soon as she moves more than five steps away from that person, she will immediately bounce back to his side!
Ah ヾ(??Д??)?！ ！ ！
Liu Jun: Frustrated, devastated, and in tears
Seven days have passed, and she has tried countless methods, but nothing has worked!
She became a ghost who couldn't do anything, not even look in the mirror, more useless than a piece of trash.
Liu Jun: Already dead, don't mention him~
……
That's right, unsurprisingly, Liu Jun opened and closed her eyes and found herself in the Demon Realm, becoming a ghost and binding herself to someone's side.
And this person, unsurprisingly, was neither Qing Liye nor one of his capable generals, but was still in the Demon Fairy Castle... uh, the Demon King's Palace.
The person she was bound to was an unfavored servant in the Demon King's palace, under the command of Qing Liye. (The Demon Lord's women, except for the Demon Queen, were all called something like "Lady".)
Haha, you wouldn't believe it, would you? A big shot in the cultivation world like her would actually be bound to such a little servant... Waaaaah???
Based on the ridiculous plot twists she'd seen, shouldn't it be about being tied to someone like Qing Liye so that only he can see it?
The lowly demonic servant she was bound to not only couldn't see or sense her, but also frequently did some inexplicable and brainless things, such as:
"Little grass, little grass, you have to do your best today too!"
"What kind of good person would call themselves 'Little Grass'?"
"Little Grass, it's alright. Madam Yun was just in a bad mood today, which is why she hit Little Grass on the head with something."
"You have such a great attitude (~￣△￣)~"
"Little grass, the weather is so nice today, it's another day full of energy, yay!"
"..."
"Little grass, little grass, I'm a happy little grass~"
I glanced at the sky over the Demon Realm, and hmm, it was gloomy and stereotypical.
“…………”
There are countless examples like this, which evoke a sense of beauty in the absence of a brainstem.
Her only redeeming quality might be her incredibly optimistic and forgiving attitude. No matter how others ostracize or bully her, even though the mistress above her uses her as a punching bag every day, she can still laugh like an idiot the next day.
She's neither naive nor sweet, a tragic figure of a nobody. Her strength is so small, her demonic energy so weak, and her physical constitution so poor. If she doesn't live a little more foolishly, she might really not be able to survive.
This kind of character is perfect for the protagonist in a revenge story, isn't it?
However, in this Demon King's Palace, there are many people who can play the role of a comeback, such as the bullied low-ranking soldiers and the highly capable but suppressed and underutilized deputy generals.
Even the beautiful but unfavored Lady Yun, the Demon King's second son who failed to seize the throne, and the arrogant little demon concubine who was initially favored but later imprisoned—aren't they all protagonists in stories of overcoming adversity?
Unfortunately, their story is not here.
And the protagonists at the center of this world, Lu Xihan and even Wei Qiushuang, are all in front of Qing Liye.
When asked how she knew this even though she was restrained, she replied...
Judging by the days, it should be time to move on to the chapter about Demon Lord Qing Li Ye imprisoning and loving a female disciple of the Immortal Sect.
This chapter is still a mix of exhilarating moments, melodramatic plot twists, and heart-wrenching scenes.
