aunted""Not at all!" The other party retorted, flustered. "You... you guys... really deal with these evil spirits in your shop!"My brother raised an eyebrow: "Hmm, it depends on what kind of service y...This is not a place to discuss problems. The little ghost doesn't have enough hands, he's half-dragging the living soul away and doesn't have time to deal with anyone else.
"Chongmo, are you coming with me or staying as bait" I asked anxiously.
"You dare to call me bait!" he roared.
"Aren't you angry Dealing with a few little guys shouldn't be a problem, right Just act like an ordinary person making a fuss to deal with them. I'm going to slip away." I said honestly.
What are you doing
"Go gambling."
"Huh!"
I didn't have time to explain, so I took a deep breath and patted him on the shoulder. Well, I'm leaving it in your hands now.
This is a back-and-forth structure, with layers upon layers. A slight hint of hostility wouldn't be noticeable at different levels. Facing a few small thugs shouldn't be a problem. Perhaps it could even draw the attention of other guards, allowing me to slip away quickly.
I gave the little devils a flash of color, and with two hisses, the little devils vanished with their iron chains.
The little boy swung a big gourd under his crotch and rode a gourd-shaped electric scooter beside me.
"Little Empress, it seems there's more than just Mo'er's animosity here"
"That's why Jiang Qiyun set up his formation in advance, right Maybe that demonic spirit is here."
The young boy was a little excited: "This is the first time I've seen a magic spirit Generally, people who cultivate demons either enter the demon world or are wiped out and die a bad death. There's actually a spirit… It's said that magic spirits are quite cunning and cruel. If it really is a magic spirit from eight hundred years ago, it would be more powerful than an ordinary earth immortal."
Is that true... Luckily, that demon spirit was too busy trying to devour the ghost and didn't pay any attention to me back then.
“That… I want to ask, what realm or status are these great demons and demon gods in the Demon Realm” I asked as I ran.
The little boy tilted his head and said, "Let me put it this way, if it were a tower, the top would be the Three Pure Ones and Six Great Gods of the Nine Heavens, the next level down would be immortals and demons, and at the very bottom would be humans, ghosts, and monsters. Does that make sense"
I nodded, the graphic was very intuitive.
The Demon Realm is far from as peaceful as the Immortal Realm, so the Five Emperors of Demons each guard their own territory. In terms of official position, they may not be very high-ranking, but in terms of fighting ability, even a bunch of Golden Immortals or Scattered Immortals would be nothing compared to the Five Emperors of Demons...
Pfft, you've been around humans too much, haven't you Learned some of their words!
That is to say, for the celestial beings and deities, the most feared thing is to be possessed by demons, and they are also most afraid of provoking the Demon Realm. Therefore, the Demon Realm is like a shadow of the Immortal Realm.
"If that River Spirit and the Northern Heaven Black Emperor, the Great Demon King, were to clash..." I asked worriedly.
The little boy pondered: "Generally, well water doesn't interfere with river water, and their domains are different... These two are both important celestial deities, with clear minds and a sense of propriety... If they really fought..."
He pointed to the sky: "Those great immortals shouldn't take both of you to the Sanqing Realm for turns of education, right I think, compared to fighting where you lose and I win, Emperor Jun and Black Emperor Demon Venerable would rather be called back to the upper realm, hehe…"
No wonder these two kept their distance and remained rational when they met
Jiang Qiyun was the same, if he could ignore it, he would ignore it, and watch the drama from a distance.
A chorus of chilling screams and howls echoed from the passage behind me. I hope Chong Mo knows when to use a light touch...
"Hey, hey!!" From the corner of the floor above, a skinny monkey poked his head out and asked anxiously, "What kind of trouble have you gotten into!"
"It's fine, go quickly!" I ran up to him in three steps and two.
"The game's already started inside! We can't get in!" The skinny monkey stomped his feet anxiously: "You got us into this mess, losing all our money to that guy called Big Treasure, and you didn't even go in with us..."
"It's fine, Dabo can help you win money too." Cao Shike was following Dabo and didn't follow me.
"Could it be that you're not the one with the best luck" said the thin monkey, half-believing, half-doubting.
Of course not, the best gambler is Cao Shi.
"You should plan your escape route first. Once we win the money, how we'll smoothly transfer it will be a problem. Can we safely get both the money and everyone out" I asked.
"I'll go prepare now." The thin monkey handed me a crumpled piece of paper: "No matter the outcome, you must leave from this door on time. Before that, don't wander around, just stay in an empty house."
I nodded, parted ways with the thin monkey, and casually pushed open the door to a room filled with soft bags.
The little boy was a bit excited: "Hey, what are you going to do that's fun"
"I'll catch a Mr. Yan in a while — ah!"
Jiang Qiyun suddenly appeared beside me, scaring me so much I almost screamed.
He pulled me close, frowning. "Where did you get that stench"
I sniffed my shoulders, it wasn't that idiot Chongmo. I was careless and he turned me into a walking corpse.
"Oh Within this aura of hostility, one belongs to him, the other… is the demon who transformed him like this" Jiang Qiyun raised an eyebrow. "In such a small area, there are actually several suspected ghost-infested fissures…"
"Ghosts Is there a way to the underworld here"
"...This is what the underworld says, any gap where ghosts and demons can pass through realms can be called this, after all, before the Demon Realm broke through the barrier, both the human and ghost realms opened passages." Jiang Qiyun's eyes were a bit deep.
The little boy hugged his gourd tightly and said, "Oh my~ This happens every few hundred years, doesn't it It's the year of the Rat again this year in the human world, so some unrest is perfectly normal~~"
"The year Gengzi" Is there any saying about that I looked at Jiang Qiyun.
Jiang Qiyun nodded, a smile playing on his lips: "In the mortal world, there have always been extraordinary people and cultivators who attained enlightenment. Some could calculate an individual's fortune, while others could deduce the fate of nations and even heaven and earth. When peace lasts for too long, there will inevitably be periods of unrest. This is a cycle that repeats itself."
"Will the world be rather turbulent this year"
As soon as the words left his mouth, a wave of vicious aura exploded from afar, like a blast of scorching heat!
Jiang Qiyun enveloped me in his arms, and chuckled softly, "You're really capable. You managed to get Chongmo to act as bait."
It's like walking around with a ticking time bomb. It's better to split up than to go together.
"What should we do now Da Bao and Cao Shi went to win money, even Yan Jia's grandson is in the back room." I asked hurriedly.
“There’s a formation set up outside; if any demons or malevolent spirits attack, they’ll be detected immediately. We’ll take advantage of the commotion and catch them.” Jiang Qiyun reached out to grab my waist and lifted me up.
He thought I was slow, so he just took me through the gate. As soon as we entered, there was a deafening explosion behind us!
Oh my, I hope this guy isn't going to tear this place down!
"...It's not him." Jiang Qiyun frowned slightly: "There is still a strong evil spirit here."
"Right, Chong Mo said he has a rival, an underling of the South Heaven Demon King—"
"South Heaven Demon Empress" Jiang Qiyun was slightly taken aback, and whispered in a low voice, "...What does she have to do with this"
Uh That tone of voice... it's a bit strange...ing me backward. I fell into a familiar embrace.A slight chill, icy and infused with a subtle fragrance."What's wrong with your eyes" Jiang Qiyun asked in a deep voice."I saw a flash of white light—""...
