Chapter 187

Marshal Tianpeng started cultivating, and Luan Erjie Luan also officially took office, starting to set up the intelligence network of the Demon Alliance with the help of the demon general Yan Que.

Flower Fruit Mountain was as calm as ever, while Su Chen spent more time on his own cultivation.

Because there were too many things happening recently, Su Chen had no time to find spiritual objects of the gold and water elements to help him refine his Hunyuan Jin Dan.

So his immortal path cultivation speed was relatively slow, but his comprehension of the wood, fire, earth, and yin-yang Daos, which were already perfected, was constantly improving.

One morning a few days later, Su Chen was meditating in his cave dwelling, comprehending the space Dao pattern in his Hunyuan Jin Dan, when Luan Erjie Luan's voice came from outside the cave.

"Senior, are you there?"

Su Chen opened his eyes, a bit surprised.

He withdrew the restriction at the cave entrance and said: "Come in."

Luan Erjie Luan stepped into the cave dwelling and bowed respectfully to Su Chen.

Su Chen sized her up and found that in just a few days, her spirit and energy had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The former her, although having the cultivation of a Demon Immortal, because she feared that unknown death tribulation, always gave people a feeling of living very tightly and suppressed, like a bird startled by the mere twang of a bowstring.

And now, her eyes were bright and confident, and in her gestures, she already had the capable temperament of a leader.

"It seems that you are doing the intelligence work very smoothly." Su Chen said with a smile.

"Thanks to Senior's blessing, Demon General Yan Que taught me wholeheartedly, and I have basically become familiar with it." A grateful smile appeared on Luan Erjie Luan's face, "And... here, I feel very safe."

"That's good." Su Chen nodded, "What brings you to me today?"

Luan Erjie Luan took out a jade slip from her bosom and presented it with both hands.

"Senior, I came today because I want to tell you the whereabouts of that treasure I mentioned to you before."

Hearing this, Su Chen was slightly stunned.

"Oh? Why tell me now?" he asked curiously, "Didn't we agree that I would wait until I helped you break that destined tribulation before you told me?"

Luan Erjie Luan said seriously: "Because I feel that my tribulation might have already been broken."

"How so?" Su Chen was even more curious.

Luan Erjie Luan looked at Su Chen and explained: "Senior may not know, but back then that high-level expert said I had a death tribulation in my life; ever since I cultivated to a Demon Immortal, I had a feeling of being terrified all day long, and it was like a mountain, pressing me so hard I couldn't breathe."

"But ever since I met you, that feeling has disappeared. I thought it was because I was staying by your side."

"But after coming to Flower Fruit Mountain and joining the Demon Alliance, I didn't stay by your side, especially in the last few days, because of some things I had to leave Flower Fruit Mountain and stay away from you, but that feeling didn't appear again. So I feel that my death tribulation should have disappeared."

Speaking of this, a look of relief bloomed on Luan Erjie Luan's face.

"All of this was brought to me by you, Senior. I cannot repay this kindness, so I can only inform you of the whereabouts of that treasure according to our agreement, which can be considered as thanking you for your help."

After listening to Luan Erjie Luan's words, Su Chen suspected more and more that Marshal Tianpeng was the cause of Luan Erjie Luan's death tribulation.

Because he clearly hadn't done anything, just brought Marshal Tianpeng and Luan Erjie Luan to Flower Fruit Mountain together, and Luan Erjie Luan's death tribulation disappeared.

"Could it be that Luan Erjie Luan's destined death was related to Marshal Tianpeng entering Cloud Stack Cave as a live-in son-in-law and becoming her husband?" Su Chen speculated secretly, "That was very likely a trick played by the Heavenly Court or the Buddhist Sect to push Marshal Tianpeng into the tribulation."

Of course, this was just his speculation, but Luan Erjie Luan's death tribulation disappearing was a good thing after all.

"It's good that you can think this way." Su Chen put away the jade slip and nodded at Luan Erjie Luan, "Since that's the case, I will accept this thank-you gift."

Seeing Su Chen accept the jade slip, a smile appeared on Luan Erjie Luan's face.

She told Su Chen about the situation regarding that treasure.

"That treasure is in a very dangerous secret realm, and that secret realm is located in a place called 'Mount Luowu' in the Western Cattle Joy Continent."

"In a secret realm?" Su Chen raised his eyebrows; how come these treasures were all hidden in secret realms.

"Yes." Luan Erjie Luan recalled the situation when she entered that secret realm, and a look of lingering fear couldn't help but appear on her face, "Back then, in order to avoid being hunted down, I drilled into Mount Luowu, and then sneaked into a cold pool in Mount Luowu, only to accidentally enter that secret realm. That secret realm was shrouded in a kind of gray mist, and that mist could erode the primordial spirit, which was extremely overbearing."

"At that time, in order to escape, I had no choice but to drill inside. After entering the depths, I realized something was wrong; my primordial spirit felt like it was being pricked by needles. I was so scared that I wanted to retreat immediately, but I found that I had lost my direction and couldn't find the way out."

"Just when I couldn't hold on anymore, I accidentally broke into an area without gray mist. That was a huge underground cave, and in the center of the cave, a black treasure tower was floating."

In her eyes, deep dread was revealed.

"That tower gave me a feeling... too terrifying. Just looking at it once, I felt that my soul was about to be sucked in. I knew that it was definitely a very powerful magic treasure, but I also knew that it was not something I could touch. Because around that tower, a black mist even more terrifying than that gray mist was entrenched."

"I was scared out of my wits at the time and fled out rolling and crawling. Perhaps because of that tower, when I came out of the cave, I luckily found that the gray mist outside had faded a lot, and I took this opportunity to find the place where I entered the secret realm, and only then did I escape the secret realm."

Luan Erjie Luan told Su Chen that she had already engraved the detailed map of the location of that secret realm, as well as the process of her entering the secret realm back then, all into the jade slip.

"Senior, I know only this much. Although that treasure is powerful, it is also extremely dangerous. If you want to go, you must be careful." She exhorted.

"I have noted it." Su Chen put away the jade slip and said to her, "I will consider it carefully."

After sending Luan Erjie Luan away, Su Chen sat alone in the quiet room; he directly put away the jade slip, as it was not the time for an adventure yet.

At the moment, Brother Monkey's crisis had not yet been resolved, and Flower Fruit Mountain was still in danger.

The curtain of the Journey to the West Great Tribulation had already opened, and as an advisor of the Demon Alliance, how could he risk seeking treasure at this critical moment.

Su Chen knew very well which was lighter and which was heavier.
