Chapter 281 Don't Let the Demons Rush to Their Entrapment
Xue Lan was preoccupied with Ting Nu's demon core, and for a moment forgot the discomfort of being grabbed by the collar and swung around in the wind.
Until something was shoved into my hand, which was dangling in the air like two soft noodles.
"It's for you!"
A woman's gentle voice reached her ears, and Xue Lan raised her hand to her eyes.
In his hand was a magic core. It was a magic core containing a portion of the power of the Demon God.
It is the core of the banquet.
Long Siyin looked at Xue Lan with her bright, sparkling eyes.
Then she saw Xue Lan struggling to turn her head to look at Xue Tong from Master Chen's hands:
"I'm not lying to you, I'm the most popular."
Xue Tong nodded helplessly.
Here it comes, the innocent and adorable little wolf king who needs endless praise.
The girl replied dismissively, "Yes, yes, you're the most popular. Everyone likes you. I like you too. It's so good that you're not dead."
"Even the heavenly lightning loves you and can't bear to strike you..."
The girl paused, her eyes darting around, then quietly leaned close to Xue Lan's ear and spoke in a sinister voice:
"I hope Shishi likes you and won't hit you, and that Qingyin Daojun likes you and won't be able to bear scolding you."
The smile on his face appeared and disappeared in just a few breaths.
And so, Master Chen flew forward carrying a string of sorrowful cured meat. As he passed the spot where Long Siyin had just fought Ji Yan, Long Siyin suddenly stopped.
The group stopped with her and saw the woman fly into the unrecognizable ravine, then emerge from a cave blocked by rubble, leading out a small group of people.
Master Chen fell into the ravine.
"We told them to evacuate first, this is ridiculous."
Long Siyin looked at Master Chen and slowly shook her head: "Senior, there is a reason why Siyin did this."
After speaking, the woman clapped her hands behind her.
At the entrance of the dark cave, a timid and frightening little child appeared.
"This is……"
The little fox that had been coiled around Yuecheng's neck jumped down and transformed into Ayue, dressed in a pink dress, on the ground.
The woman slowly walked towards the child, consciously using fox-clan illusion magic, and finally grabbed the child's hand.
"Half-demon?"
The woman's eyes were filled with disbelief as she turned to look at the crowd behind her.
Without exception, they all wore cold and indignant expressions.
Long Siyin sighed: "Not only..."
Soon everyone understood what "not only" meant, because faint footsteps came from behind the child.
One by one, the children came out, and without exception, their expressions were terrifying.
Among them was even a half-demon with demon blood; she was a little pigeon, a little girl with a pair of pure white wings.
But when she raised her pair of pure white and soft wings, terrifying and hideous eyeballs grew out from beneath them.
“The demon bloodline is domineering, and most half-demons are weak…” Ah Yue’s eyes were already filled with tears.
The unspoken second half of the sentence was known to all the immortal cultivators present.
This little white dove!
It's unknown how many half-demons and half-monsters died due to bloodline backlash, before she alone survived.
At this moment, Xu Qizhou spoke up.
"Seven years ago, I had the good fortune to meet a woman named Bai Yu in the team sent by the demon race to exchange intelligence. She was a messenger from Jidu, and she was intelligent and quick-witted."
Master Chen took a step forward: "This matter is of great importance, so please do not make a fuss about it. I will return to Qingshuitai and inform the seniors before making a decision."
Master Chen meant that he wanted to leave these children here.
Their actions were indeed reasonable. Although they were all born into hardship, they possessed a portion of demonic blood.
The demon bloodline is unfathomable, and it is really not suitable to bring it back to Qingshuitai now.
What if these children go mad because of their demon bloodline?
What if the immortal disciples and mortal soldiers of Qingshuitai who lost their loved ones because of the demon race don't understand?
When manipulated by emotions, reason always falls slightly short for ordinary people.
After all, the people they brought to the wasteland were living, breathing people, not emotionless puppets.
Long Siyin lowered her head: "This junior obeys."
Master Chen nodded in satisfaction and looked behind him.
"Qizhou, Yuecheng, you two stay here and protect these children."
The two immediately responded, "Yes!"
Xue Lan glanced at Xue Tong.
Xue Tong: The life of a system developer is about risking one's life for the host.
Just as Master Chen was about to announce that they would continue toward Qingshuitai, a clear female voice came from behind him.
Xue Tong wore a bright orange dress and had gentle eyes and brows.
"This disciple is also willing to stay here."
Master Chen glanced at Xue Lan, whom he was carrying, and nodded slightly.
"Thank you, senior."
After settling things here, the group set off again.
Half an hour later, we finally arrived at Qingshuitai.
Long Siyin could see two familiar figures standing at the entrance of the Qing Shui Tai formation from afar.
It is Ji Jinjin and Yin Shishi.
Perhaps it was because she had finally let go of her tension and worry, but upon seeing the two of them, Long Siyin's wounds suddenly screamed in pain, the agony shooting straight to her head.
Even so, the woman endured the excruciating pain and asked Xue Lan, "Are you happy to see the two of them?"
Xue Lan said with a bitter face, "It's my destiny, I can't escape it in my whole life."
As they spoke, the group arrived at Qingshuitai.
As Long Siyin had predicted, Xue Lan was dragged away by Yin Shishi as soon as she landed.
Wait, why is Xue Lan laughing?
No... why am I moving by myself?
Master Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the two being dragged away by Yin Shishi on either side.
We finally brought the person back alive.
The middle-aged man nodded to Ji Jinjin: "Jinjin, take me to see Granny Yuehua and the others."
Ji Jinjin watched Xue Lan and the other person being dragged away, her eyes filled with longing. Hearing this, she looked at Master Chen and said, "Disciple obeys."
The Clear Water Platform is said to have been built by ancient cultivators to worship heaven and earth, and it is entirely cast in bronze. After it was used as a military garrison, Daoist Yuehua of the Crimson Cloud Sect took out a spatial treasure and constructed a grotto-heaven beneath the Clear Water Platform.
At this moment, Master Chen was inside that cave.
Exotic flowers and rare herbs bloom in profusion, while drifting clouds and mist come and go in a hurry.
In the picturesque cave, a middle-aged man crushed his teacup into dust: "Those beasts, how dare they!"
"How can we, the human and demon races, allow them to bully us like this?" A little girl sat on a stone bench, dressed in a green dress embroidered with towering mountains.
"Fellow Daoists, please don't be impatient," an elderly woman said.
"The demons are vicious, and we still don't know where the people they kidnapped are. We must not act rashly."
The middle-aged man who had just crushed the cup couldn't help but speak up: "My dear Sister Yuehua, if we had been a step too late, those children would have..."
Lord Yuehua sighed: "I'm afraid no one in the entire Yuanming Lower Realm knows that feeling better than I do."
The middle-aged man fell silent.
The patriarch of the Jiangyun Sect, Daoist Yuehua, originally intended to ascend to the upper realm many years ago.
Unexpectedly, the Jiangyun Sect suffered a sudden calamity. When she was forced to leave seclusion after losing her cultivation, she only saw mutilated corpses all over the mountains and fields.
Lord Yuehua immediately went mad, sacrificing his lifespan to kill the evil spirit.
Overnight, her hair turned white, and she transformed from a beautiful fairy into an old woman in her eighties.
"Wait a little longer," said Daoist Yuehua.
"Don't let the demons get desperate and do something rash."
