Chapter 203 Spirit Pouch
Chapter 203 Spirit Pouch
After washing up, changing clothes, and tidying themselves up, the group transformed from their disheveled state into the distinguished and elegant disciples of the Grandmaster in the eyes of others.
Immortal Lord Qingxu was worried that the group had gone through so much and were physically exhausted, so he specially brewed a large pot of strong medicinal soup.
One bowl for each of the five people.
Looking at the dark, murky medicine, Cheng Jiu seemed to be in a daze, and his voice was halting.
"Master, there's no need for that! I feel fine."
"What's wrong, Xiao Jiu?"
Immortal Lord Qingxu looked at Cheng Jiu with a puzzled expression. Why aren't you drinking?
Seeing his master's puzzled look, Cheng Jiu gave in. Oh well, he could just turn a blind eye and it would all be over.
Qingyang Immortal Lord, who was standing to the side, knew why and covered his mouth as he watched the five of them smirk.
The bitter taste shot straight to Cheng Jiu's head, and she felt as if her soul was about to fly away. This tasted even more bitter than the medicine she had drunk before, and her master's skills were even "better".
The others who had just finished drinking the herbal soup were in a state of post-coital slumber, feeling nauseous but afraid of offending their elders, so they could only endure it and remain in a daze.
"You all need to rest! So much has happened, you must be tired."
"have a good rest!"
I'll come see you again tomorrow!
Seeing that the group had finished drinking, Immortal Lord Qingxu took away the bowls with satisfaction, asked a few words of concern, and then left with the other immortals.
Once the commotion outside subsided, Gong Yu jumped around excitedly.
"It's so bitter! Water, I need water!"
"Oh! Ugh!" Li Weixin smacked her lips and took a breath: "I can't feel anything!"
"Senior Brother Shangguan, Senior Brother Shangguan, cheer up!" Gong Cheng shouted, pushing Shangguan Song, who was lying stiffly on the ground beside him.
The only strong man among them, Shangguan Song, had already collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
That's incredible endurance!
Cheng Jiu looked at Shangguan Song with pity and shook his head. Poor Senior Brother Shangguan.
Gongcheng took out pastries and water and placed them on the ground. Gongyu hopped over in a few steps, scooped up the water bag from the ground, and gulped it down twice, thoroughly washing away the bitterness in his mouth.
Li Weixin picked up the pastry, took two bites, and said, "Ugh~ it has no taste."
He was starting to doubt whether he could feel his tongue anymore.
"Brother, where did you get these pastries!" Gong Yu, sitting next to Gong Cheng, snatched the sweet cake from his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling incoherently.
Gongcheng patted Gongyu on the shoulder: "It's on the ground, why are you taking it from my hand? It was put in the ring before."
Gong Yu nodded, ignoring her brother's other remark: what you take yourself is never as delicious as what you steal!
As Cheng Jiu chewed on the pastry, a bad feeling suddenly washed over him: "I think I've forgotten something!"
"Whoosh!" A white cloud crashed through the tent, followed closely by a black figure.
"Yunbao!" Cheng Jiu suddenly remembered something he had forgotten. He had previously tried to prevent the mastermind from capturing them all.
She deliberately left Moyu and Yunbao in the restaurant without their consent; she must have been terribly worried.
"Damn it, the Black Gold Dragon!" Gong Yu suddenly remembered the Black Gold Dragon he was carrying and looked around: "It's not here!"
"Where did you fall?" Gongcheng was also dumbfounded upon hearing this.
"Could it be that the demon who captured us snatched them away!" Li Wei thought to himself. "Why don't we go and ask them? They should have been caught by now!"
"Alright, I was wrong!" Cheng Jiu looked at Yun Bao and readily admitted his mistake.
"Moyu, my dear Moyu, save me."
Rainbow Dash kept bumping into her, seemingly very angry. What kind of master would do such a thing, abandoning their contracted beast and venturing into danger themselves?
Mo Yu also turned her head away angrily, ignoring Cheng Jiu's pleas for help. Serves them right, such a big thing happened, and she actually abandoned the two of them! Doesn't she know they were very worried?
After Cheng Jiu repeatedly apologized and tried to appease them, and finally made a three-point agreement that he would never abandon them.
The two little ones finally whined and chose to forgive. There's just no way to deal with an owner like that!
Seeing that the two little ones had finally forgiven him, Cheng Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention to Gong Yu: "Senior Brother Gong Yu, you just said that the Black Gold Dragon is missing."
"Yes, I always wore it on my waist." After entering the demon realm, Gong Yu put the black gold dragon into his spirit pouch and carried the dragon prince around so openly that it was too ostentatious, even in the demon realm.
"The Spirit Pouch is gone now!"
"I hope that little guy is alright!" Cheng Jiu asked worriedly. It was bad enough that he was abducted to the cultivation world and auctioned off at such a young age, but now he was lost and suffering somewhere. They were planning to take this little guy back to Longyuan.
Come to think of it, none of their storage rings were lost.
"The spirit pouch is too far away; I can't sense its location."
Gong Yu also looked worried, after all, he had to ensure the safety of the little guy he was carrying with him.
"Wait a minute, I can sense the spirit pouch!"
As she was speaking, Gong Yu suddenly stood up, looking excited.
"Then let's go out and take a look!" Cheng Jiu also stood up.
Besides the unconscious Shangguan Song, Li Weixin also went with the three of them to see him.
Although it was a temporary territory, the area was not small because the Demon Emperor was there. The people coming and going were all demon soldiers in armor, exuding a murderous aura. They moved in unison, looking like they had been through countless battles and were very orderly.
In the center of the territory were two of the largest tents, one for the Demon Emperor and the other for Immortal Lord Qingxu and his companions to rest. These two tents were also the most heavily guarded.
Besides these two tents, there are two other tents of slightly lower quality around them. One is where Cheng Jiu and his men rest, and the other is where the army's highest-ranking general rests.
It is clear that the Demon Emperor gave these humans a very high level of treatment.
It seems that the Demon Emperor gave them special treatment, as the five of them moved freely in the camp. Following his senses, Gong Yu strode quickly toward a certain place.
Finally, they stopped in front of an iron cage. The cage was simply covered, and the huge cage was divided into eight sections, each with a small lock.
The dark, obsidian-like light reflected from the cold iron bars indicated that the materials used to make the cage were extraordinary.
There were four people imprisoned inside, spaced out like jagged teeth.
"Greetings, esteemed human lords!"
As the group approached, the general guarding the iron cage saluted the five men.
The other party was clad in armor and had a handsome face. What was most eye-catching was the silver belt around his waist, on which was a lifelike blue phoenix with eight tails. This indicated that this young Nascent Soul general was a high-ranking general in the legion, second only to the general.
He is young and promising, with a bright future ahead of him!
"Hello, Demon General!" Cheng Jiu and the other four responded politely, glancing at the cage behind him. "My senior brother had something stolen by these people. May we go and look for it?"
"Of course, please feel free to give me your orders if needed." The demon general was quite friendly to the group.
Seeing that the group hesitated, the demon general then introduced himself.
"My name is Huan Qing, and Huan He is my cousin. He sent a letter introducing you to me and our family."
Upon hearing Huanqing's words, the group suddenly realized why this young general was treating them so well.
After all, given his status, even if they were disciples of the five major sects, they wouldn't have to go to such lengths.
"Song Qing's son!"
Led by Huanqing, the group looked around the cage, especially Gong Yu, who was trying hard to sense the location of his spirit control bag.
A dark, hoarse, and grating sound scraped against their eardrums, evoking an indescribable sense of disgust.
"You know my mother?" Gong Yu and Gong Cheng looked at the demon who spoke and frowned.
Because the other party was so weak and pale, with skin so thin it was almost transparent, and a pair of sinister eyes that were extremely irritating, like a demon in disguise, without a trace of its demonic nature.
Now he is only clinging to life by some unknown force, but when he sees the two brothers, he seems to come back to life, his eyes filled with malice and hatred.
"Your mother? She was a Blood Pearl cultivation subject that my family bought at great expense!" This wolf in sheep's clothing looked at the twins without malice: "Her status was so low that she was even lower than a female slave!"
Gongcheng pulled out his dragon-tipped spear and stabbed it hard into the other man's mouth, twisting it forcefully: "You dare to insult my mother!"
"Ugh!" Blood mixed with broken teeth was spat out.
His eyes were bloodshot with hatred as he glared at Gong Cheng. He could accept any form of execution, but he absolutely could not accept Song Qing or her child.
This would make him feel that everything he had been so persistent about was a joke!
"She almost died by my hand, and you! Just like your mother!" He shouted madly, his voice filled with a sinister chill, his voice laced with blood.
"Well, I'm really sorry, but we're still alive and well! Very well! My mother ascended to heaven! And you!"
Gong Yu spun around in front of the other person, but the other person did not cause any major harm to the two of them. He bluntly told the other person that the person he hated was no longer someone he could afford to associate with.
Even the other party didn't care about his past experiences and went back to seek revenge. His hatred was like a joke!
"She ascended! Impossible! Impossible! How could she steal my Blood Pearl and yet... Ah!!"
Upon hearing that Song Qing had ascended to immortality, the other party was utterly devastated! None of the countless possibilities they had imagined were included: Song Qing living a glamorous life, even becoming a powerful figure, and finally attaining immortality and ascending to heaven.
He wished the other person would be devoured by ants, reduced to a rat crossing the street, mediocre and useless, only able to rot and stink in some corner of the world.
He felt a splitting headache and frantically pounded on the railing.
In the upper left corner, his older brother said, "Third brother, calm down! Control yourself!"
The other party sounded quite concerned, so it seems that in the end they still cared about his family.
This guy probably doesn't need it.
Seeing the other party's crazy actions, Miyagi wiped his spear with disgust, took two steps back, and asked in a low voice, "Is your spirit pouch on this guy?"
Gong Yu shook his head: "There was no spiritual energy on him before, so I didn't sense it."
Gong Yu pointed to the upper right, his eyes vacant as he leaned against Niu Qing in the cage. Before, Niu Qing had been a mysterious and powerful figure who had imprisoned them.
Now that he's a prisoner, he's clearly despondent.
The five guessed that if they released the other person, he might commit suicide immediately, but now he was just not dead.
"The opponent is a powerful being in the Mahayana stage; I'll help you take it!"
Badger Green, who had been happily enjoying the gossip about the Three Young Masters of Crimson Light and the two humans, spoke up upon hearing this.
He dared not let these humans get close to that dangerous person.
He walked over, intending to open the cage and search the person, but to his surprise, the other party was quite cooperative. When he came over, the other party glanced at him and took out a spirit-controlling pouch from a corner of his body and placed it in his hand.
He didn't need to speak or do anything.
That's good, it saves us some trouble. Badger Green doesn't sympathize with this guy at all. The Demon Emperor valued him so much and treated him so well back then.
After faking his death and leaving, he took great care of the other party's wife and children.
The other side, however, showed no gratitude to the Demon Emperor and colluded with foreign races, intending to overthrow the Demon Clan.
What's the use of regretting it now?
The fact that His Highness the Demon Emperor imprisoned him here already proves his stance.
He felt that everyone in the cage, except for the two masterminds, deserved to be imprisoned. As for the two masterminds, they deserved to die a hundred times over, and any emotion towards them would be a waste.
"Thank you!" Gong Yu took the spirit pouch and released the black-gold dragon that was inside.
Unlike Mo Yu, the other party was listless when he was released, clearly having been thoroughly tormented.
Well, thankfully I wasn't seriously injured or suffered too much.
Niu Qing did nothing to it.
However, the opponent was simply too weak; even the slightest disturbance caused them immense discomfort.
Cheng Jiu took out a few spirit beast pills and stuffed them into the other person's mouth.
The badger standing nearby had its eyes light up when it saw this.
"Thank you so much, Badger Demon General!" the group said gratefully, feeling that this was incredibly kind of them.
"You're welcome! Didn't this alchemist promise to help my clan refine the Blood Essence Pill? It's what I should do."
Badger Green said bluntly that he wasn't helping for no reason; they had a deal.
Moreover, for him, it was a small favor to befriend an alchemist, and he was not at a loss.
The group didn't want to linger and listen to that guy's nonsense any longer, so they said goodbye to Badger and left.
Watching this group of humans arrive in a hurry and leave in a flurry.
The second young master next to him looked at Niu Qing, who was in the next room, with a hint of sarcasm: "Looks like you're not so honest after all!"
The two brothers, including their guards, had absolutely no idea what was going on with the spirit pouch containing the black gold dragon.
The other person returned to silence, staring blankly without saying a word.
The third young master, who had just woken up from his madness, lay weakly in the cage, panting heavily. Despite his half-dead body, he clung to life and just wouldn't die.
Hearing this, he laughed sarcastically: "Brother, what are you talking about with that dead demon who can only breathe? If it weren't for the fact that the Niu clan still has some decent loyalty, the ancestor would have sent him to guard the Blood Pool."
Niu Qing remained unresponsive to the other party's mocking words, his gaze unfocused, seemingly indifferent to their words.
Don't you really care at all?
Unseen by anyone, Niu Qing clenched his fist slightly, then quickly relaxed it.
This seems to confirm what the other party said about a dead demon that can only breathe, but that's all.
