Chapter 122 Dispatch
Chapter 122 Dispatch
Su Jue thought it made sense after hearing this, and it was indeed not a one-size-fits-all situation. He hadn't thought that much about it; he just found it troublesome and was too lazy to go to the government office.
“Well then…” Su Jue thought for a moment and said, “After I catch the monster this time, I will go to the yamen and explain to them. As long as they don’t think I’m making this up, it will be fine.”
Long Chuqing took out a bottle of medicine from the small cloth bag at her waist and tossed it to Su Jue: "This bottle of medicine can cure most toxins, including the poisonous barriers on this mountain."
Long Chuqing glanced at Su Jue with amusement, then smiled and said, "Let's see if you dare to eat what a pretty woman gives you."
Su Jue took the medicine bottle and glanced at it. The bottom of the bottle read "Detoxification Pill".
The gray wolf demon said to the cat demon beside him, "You have killed several people in a row, and now the news is spreading like wildfire throughout the capital. You can no longer go out and kill people to steal their hearts."
"I think you should go out and hide for a while! I'm afraid even this place isn't safe anymore. That Taoist master already knows where we're hiding."
"Although we can still use the poison barrier to stop him for now, he will always find a way to solve the problem, and he might even bring in reinforcements."
The cat demon leaned lazily against the gray wolf's chest and said with her dark lips, "But I don't know where I can escape to. I've only been here a short time. Am I going to have to live a life of wandering again?"
"I told you long ago that you shouldn't use harmful methods for cultivation," Gray Wolf said indifferently. "That will inevitably put you in danger sooner or later, but you just wouldn't listen."
"You've already been caught once before and still haven't learned your lesson. Now that you've finally escaped, you should behave yourself."
"But you still insist on going your own way and trying to increase your demonic power by consuming human hearts. We have been cultivating here for so long and have never thought of using the method of devouring human hearts to accelerate our cultivation. At most, we just eat some animals or livestock."
“And you’ve broken the rules of Yunqi Mountain as soon as you arrived.” The gray wolf demon narrowed his deep eyes slightly and said with a solemn expression, “If Black Wolf finds out, not only will he not protect you, but Black Wolf might not let you go even before the Celestial Master makes a move.”
"While Black Wolf is still in seclusion, I think you should go out and hide for a while!"
The cat demon was displeased by the gray wolf demon's accusations, but since its demonic power was damaged and it would need the gray wolf's help at a critical moment, it was not advisable to break ties with him now, so it had no choice but to endure it for the time being.
She said in a repentant tone, "I know I was wrong, and I will listen to Brother Gray Wolf from now on. But where can they escape to now? If I go out, they might be taken away by the Celestial Master."
"Can you really bear to watch him take her away?" the cat demon said shyly, nestled in the gray wolf demon's arms. "Why don't we join forces and kill that celestial master down the mountain?"
“He is no ordinary celestial master. The Qingyu Sect was willing to let him come alone, so we should not underestimate him.”
“Of course I know that,” the cat demon said through gritted teeth. “I just escaped from there, and I still feel the pain from the burns from the Demon Locking Tower.”
"Brother Gray Wolf, you should have a way to deal with the Celestial Master, right?"
At this moment, a gray wolf came in to report. It howled a few times and said that the Taoist master had set up a barrier around the entire mountain.
He also said that four more people, three men and one woman, had just arrived from down the mountain, but he didn't know if they were with him.
Upon hearing this, the cat demon sat up abruptly from his lap, exclaiming in a panic, "Did those exorcists arrive so quickly?"
"What should we do now?" The cat demon seemed a little scared. She had lost her demonic power for hundreds of years, and her body had not yet recovered!
If she falls into the hands of the Celestial Masters again, they will definitely lock her in the Demon Locking Tower again. If she is locked in again, she will probably never have a chance to escape.
The thought of possibly being reduced to ashes in the Demon-Sealing Tower made the cat demon tremble uncontrollably.
Wolf Cub said that, based on observation, those people should not be fellow disciples of the Celestial Master. They did not seem to know the Celestial Master, and one of them even kicked the Celestial Master when he was not paying attention.
Even after hearing what the wolf cub said, the cat demon still felt uneasy, after all, the Celestial Master was already guarding the foot of the mountain.
The gray wolf demon pulled her into his arms and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm here. I will never let that Heavenly Master hurt you."
Even though the gray wolf demon swore he would protect her, the cat demon still felt uneasy. She knew that no one could be relied on in a critical moment, and she understood the principle that everyone would flee when disaster struck.
“But I still feel uneasy,” the cat demon said, frowning as she looked at the gray wolf demon and clutching her chest. “I don’t know why, but my heart is pounding so hard. I have a feeling that something is about to happen.”
The gray wolf demon released the cat demon from his arms, stood up and said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case, then I will go and see for myself to find out what's going on."
The gray wolf strode steadily toward the cave entrance. Hiding here indefinitely wasn't a solution; the wolf would come up sooner or later.
Now that they've come to bully us right at our doorstep, wouldn't it be cowardly to stay holed up in our hole and not show up?
Seeing this, the cat demon slowly got up. She stared at the wolf demon's departing figure, pondering whether she should follow him to take a look.
He hasn't seen the wolf demon's true strength yet! He doesn't know if he can handle the Celestial Master. If he gets captured, she might be next.
She hesitated for a moment before following him.
Down the mountain, Su Jue and Long Chuqing looked up at the same time and sensed a strong demonic aura rapidly approaching them.
"They're here," Su Jue said, his expression turning serious.
"They're here?" Qingying asked, slightly nervously. "Does that mean the monsters are coming?"
“That’s right,” Su Jue said indifferently.
"So sudden?" Bronze frowned and said, "How could it just come like this! We weren't prepared at all."
Su Jue glanced back at them, his eyes deep, and said, "I called you to leave earlier but you wouldn't. I won't be able to look after you later."
At this moment, Xiao Hanqing and Qingying also noticed the abnormality and could feel many auras approaching them.
Facing the prospect of encountering the legendary monster, Qingying Qing was slightly nervous, but quickly regained her composure.
They had never seen a monster before, did not know its strength, or whether mortals' swords could defeat it.
Although they were uncertain, they remained vigilant, gripping their sword hilts, ready for battle at any moment.
He glanced at Su Jue beside him and felt a little more at ease, after all, there was still a celestial master who could capture demons.
Xiao Han frowned as well, feeling uncertain as well. After all, he had never seen a demon before and didn't know if mortals' martial arts skills could handle them.
He glanced at Long Chuqing beside him and saw that she looked calm and showed no fear of what was about to happen.
Long Chuqing looked up at Xiao Han and said gently, "It's alright, they're not that scary."
Xiao Han nodded after hearing this. He felt that Chu Qing's words were like a gentle breeze, instantly dispelling the fog in his heart.
