Chapter 53: Yu Qing's Frustration

  Dozens of heavenly demons gathered around Su Che and the others, shouting and screaming wildly. However, they were all low-ranking minions from the bottom layer of the Demon Sealing Realm. Although they had the strength of a Qi Refining stage cultivator, due to their relatively limited attacking methods, it was difficult for them to break through Su Che's defensive magic treasures.

  Although the extraterritorial Tianmo is cunning and has the ability to read minds, it cannot use magic treasures, so it is basically not a match for human cultivators of the same level. Moreover, these low-level Tianmos are far weaker than Yuqing and Linglong, and cannot pose an effective threat. At most, they can only provide tribute value by sending themselves up.

  Of course, on the condition that you are not possessed by these guys. Once a Tianmo possesses you successfully, even if you have achieved the great perfection of Yuqing's cultivation, one carelessness can lead to your soul being damaged by a low-level Tianmo.

  At the moment, it's basically not Su Che's turn to take action. Yu Qing's flying sword flew out and killed the heavenly demons with a swoosh, and Ling Long's display of some strange magic quickly cleared up these dozens of heavenly demons.

  In comparison, Su Che's performance was unimpressive. He used the Flame Spear, almost using all his strength, and only managed to burn one of the Heavenly Demons into clear smoke. The Exorcism Value in his Identity Token increased by a pitiful amount. To put it nicely, he had made a good start, but in reality, he was just following behind Yu Qing and Ling Long, picking up scraps that they had left behind.

  Generally speaking, the cultivation of the second layer of Qi Refining enters the realm of sealing demons. If one is alone and surrounded by dozens of heavenly demons, it only takes a few breaths to be gnawed to the point where not even half a bone remains.

  However, Su Che was not an 'ordinary person' after all. He had a hidden Xianyin Black Tower in his body and also had Lao Hei, a big foodie with a soaring appetite.

  "What a pity, what a pity! Alas, all gone, not a single one left... Old Black kept slapping his thigh and scratching his head, he would be heartbroken for every Tianmo that died. With delicious food in front of him, not only could he not eat it, but he could only watch as others turned these delicacies into mush. This feeling must be quite torturous for him?"

  Dozens of heavenly demons were killed in an instant, and Yu Qing turned her head back and smiled, asking: "How does it feel?"

  "All I feel is that my existence is superfluous." Su Che smiled wryly.

  Yu Qing said calmly: "Now you don't need to show off too much, what's more important is that you should listen and observe more."

  This sentence seems to be instructing, but it's actually more comforting. Yu Qing is also confused and can't understand why his uncle wants him to bring Su Che into the Demon Sealing Domain. Now that he's here, he'll only become a burden and even affect Yu Qing's own ability to fight freely. However, in order to take care of Su Che's emotions, Yu Qing still needs to speak kindly and placate him, lest he harbor resentment.

  Su Che also understood, able to appreciate Yu Qing's kindness, nodded and replied: "I know, thank you brother for giving me such an opportunity."

  But unexpectedly, the lovely girl beside her was always so straightforward. She curled up the corner of her mouth and said disdainfully: "You two are really hypocritical! If you don't want to say what's on your mind, then just shut up and don't say anything, okay? No one is forcing you, honestly..."

  Yu Qing was taken aback, but could only shake his head and smile wryly. He had experienced Xiaoyu's straightforward personality many times before.

  Su Che nodded, rubbing his nose: "Alright, I won't say it again."

  "Haha......" In the immortal prison, Lao Hei couldn't stop laughing: "This girl is really lovely, this temper, this personality, so refreshing and crisp!"

  With the girl patrol officer on site, Yu Qing and Su Che no longer had a single idle word, they just beheaded the demons and eliminated the evil spirits, striving to eliminate them before those heavenly demons had a chance to sully the patrol officer's hearing with their filthy language...

  After several hours, Su Che's Xuanji Jade Token had accumulated twenty-five points of demon-slaying value, while Yu Qing and Ling Long had killed countless low-level heavenly demons.

  Wandering around like this without any surprises, Su Che keenly sensed that Yu Qing's body was emitting a kind of resentment...

  It's not quite right to call it "resentment", but rather a feeling of being restricted and stifled. It can be imagined that before coming here, he must have attached great importance to this trial, and the original plan must have been full of passion and ambition. But reality is, due to the strange order of the Medicine Garden Elder, he ended up carrying two burdens with him, and instead had to act as a bodyguard for the two little guys.

  As the process of killing low-level Tianmo gradually became dull and monotonous, his sense of suffocation would inevitably become more and more intense.

  Of course, these are Su Che's speculations, from the perspective of being in someone else's shoes, and some inferences made from his standpoint.

  Su Che felt a little guilty, but he was also helpless and didn't ask to come here himself, he was equally perplexed.

  Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw that in the left front direction, about a hundred feet away, several figures appeared out of thin air with a whoosh.

  "Someone's coming!"

  Yu Qing, who was walking ahead, stopped in her tracks.

  "The waist card of the Tianlu Peak." Laohei's probing ability once again showed its special advantage. At a distance of nearly a hundred feet, even Yuqing couldn't see the waist cards of the few people on the opposite side, but Laohei had already given Su Che a definitive answer.

  The others also saw Yu Qing and the other two, but since only Tian Xuan Sect's disciples would appear here, there was no need to be on guard against each other.

  Two teams met each other and exchanged greetings since they ran into one another.

  As the distance gradually drew closer, Yu Qing also saw the other's appearance clearly, and only then did she say to Ling Long: "Hua Lu of Tianlu Peak."

  "Hua Lu!" Linglong also recognized someone coming towards them and snorted: "It's actually this bastard!"

  "Haha......" When they were still dozens of feet apart, a young man at the forefront of the group opposite them burst out laughing and said: "Yu Qing, Ling Long, we really do have a deep affinity, to think that even in this Sealing Domain, we'd run into each other."

  Yu Qing and Ling Long were calm and collected, with no response at all. It was obvious that the siblings didn't think much of this 'Hua Lu'.

  "Tianlu Peak, one of the top ten main peaks, most of the high-grade elixirs in Tianxuan Sect come from there." In the Immortal Prison, Old Black held a book and said while reading: "This 'Hualu' is also a famous person, ranked sixth on the inner door disciple's Wind Cloud List, Yucheng is fifth, both are at the Great Round Fullness boundary of Qi Refining. Without a doubt, the competitive relationship between these two must be intense, like needle and awn."

  As for Yu Qing's indifference, Hua Lu was not at all concerned and continued with a smile: "Yu Qing, someone has opened a betting plate, betting on who will build the foundation first. I bet 5,000 spiritual stones on myself, how about you? How much did you bet on yourself?"

  "I have no interest in gambling at all." Yu Qing replied calmly.

  "Oh, right, I forgot. Xuanji Yiqing is indeed famous for being indifferent to fame and wealth, viewing material possessions and beauty as worthless." Hua Rong floated over with a smile on his face, but his eyes were extremely cold: "However, it's not always like that, isn't it? Tianwu Peak's 'Zhenlan' wasn't hurt by you until she was heartbroken, ultimately leading to love turning into hate?"

  "Shut up, Hualu!" Linglong scolded in a delicate voice: "That matter was all because you were meddling and stirring up trouble, making clear water murky. Sister Zhenlan's resentment is so deep because of you. What kind of person are you? Everyone knows the truth, there's no need to pretend to be virtuous here."

  Linglong dared to interrupt, but the several followers behind Hualu did not dare to confront Yuqing head-on. Although they were also inner door disciples, their background and foundation were far inferior to those of Yuqing's siblings.

  Hua Luohu chuckled lightly and still had an air of nonchalance, but at this moment, his gaze focused on Su Che again. He looked Su Che up and down, intentionally blinking his eyes to ask: "Yu Qing, what are you doing? You're actually bringing such a burden into the Magic Sealing Domain, and he's even a three-attribute mixed spirit root outer sect disciple..."

  He slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "I understand, I understand. This little guy is just a bait to let him go to the second district to die and lure out the demon general inside! My god, this trick is great, but it's also ruthless enough! Unexpectedly, Xuanji Yuqing is also so cruel!"

  "Don't spout nonsense!" Yu Qing's eyebrows rose in annoyance, her tone icy: "Hua Lu, what's the point of being so idle?"

  "It's just that." Linglong also looked at him with contempt: "A big man, only knows how to play with his mouth, if you have this time, hurry up and practice your skills, build your foundation!"

  "Alright!" Hua Lu cracked his palm, collected his smile and said seriously: "Yu Qing, I won't hide it from you either. This time, I'm going to challenge the second district's Mo Jiang. Once I leave the Fēng Mó Yuàn, I'll start my closed-door cultivation... Cultivation, I will surpass you; five years later, one of the true disciple positions is destined to be mine!"

  "Let's go!" As soon as he finished speaking, he led those followers away with a long stride.

  Watching them head straight into the depths of the Demon Sealing Realm, Yu Qing's face slowly darkened...

  Su Che had never seen Yu Qing's face look so ugly before. It was very clear that he had been truly enraged by Hua Lu.

  "With me as a burden, Yu Qing won't be able to challenge the second district's demon general. He must be in a difficult position." Su Che made up his mind: "It seems I should find an excuse and leave on my own..."

  "Get out! Get out!" Old Hei bellowed: "They say you're a burden, but I think they're the ones who are getting in the way!"

  (Coffee: Lately, I've been feeling a strange, indescribable discomfort on the lower left side of my ribcage. It's not painful, but rather an inexplicable awkwardness. I'm not sure if it's from sitting in front of the computer for too long every day or if it's because I have too much fat and it's uncomfortable...)
