Chapter 1978

Boom—

A sixth-grade flying vessel shot directly from the He family into the clouds, heading toward Shenmeng Mountain.

Shenmeng Mountain is not particularly far from the He family.

One arrives after passing Latte City.

Yusi held the transmission talisman of Su Zhenzhen, which recorded the specific location of the incident.

Yusi flew at full speed, covering the distance to Latte City in just two incense sticks' worth of time.

Another half incense stick brought her to Shenmeng Mountain.

Another incense stick, and she entered the heart of Shenmeng Mountain.

Soon, she arrived at the location indicated on the transmission talisman—this place was in utter disarray, vast stretches of mountain ranges shattered, and a terrifying white ice layer stretched across the land.

It was clearly man-made.

Trees were broken, countless scattered sparks flickered.

Standing at the prow of the flying vessel, Yusi furrowed her brow slightly, then inhaled deeply the surrounding aura.

Then, she circled the area for a while, and soon discovered a human cultivator of the Divine Sovereign Realm not far away.

"Senior, senior…… spare my life……"

Upon seeing Yusi, the human cultivator trembled with fear, his legs going weak as he dropped to his knees.

Yusi said: "You need not fear, and I do not seek your life!"

"Was someone fighting here just now?"

"Where did they go?"

"I don't know, I don't know…… I know nothing!" the human cultivator cried, bowing his head in terror.

Yusi furrowed her brow: "Will you speak yourself, or shall I search your soul? Choose!"

"I'll speak, I'll speak, I'll speak……" the man pointed a finger in a direction, saying: "Just now, a terrifying senior expert fought here—I dared not look, nor dare to scan!"

"But after their battle, they seemed to have headed in that direction!"

"You'd better not lie to me!" Yusi drew a thread of his aura: "If you lie to me, I will lock onto you instantly with this thread of aura—you will surely die!"

"I dare not, I dare not……" the man was terrified into stupor.

Yusi stepped into the void, then reopened the flying vessel and continued her search.

The human cultivator had indeed not lied to her—after only half an incense stick's time, she caught up with the main force of the demon tribe.

One God Venerable Realm cultivator, four God Sovereign Realm cultivators.

Yusi lowered her flying vessel, blocking the path of the four.

"Who are you?" Seeing someone block their way, the God Venerable Realm demon cultivator coldly stared at Yusi: "Are you seeking death?"

As he spoke, his Divine Sense lightly swept over Yusi, and he instantly gasped: "This…… God King?"

"You are actually a God King Realm cultivator?" The God Venerable Realm demon cultivator leapt from his flying vessel in a flash, landing before Yusi, then bowed respectfully with clasped hands, saying: "Purple Bat God Venerable of the Demon Tribe, pays respects to the Human God King!"

Having spoken, he did not wait for Yusi's reply before demanding: "Humans and demons have long had an agreement—Human God King Realm cultivators and above must not set foot in our demon territory!"

"Moreover, one must not trespass into the Shenmeng Mountain Forbidden Zone!"

"God King Your Excellency, if you withdraw now, we can pretend nothing happened!"

Purple Bat God Venerable stared at Yusi without fear.

Yusi said: "I also do not wish to fight you, but I have two disciples captured by you!"

"Please release them!"

"Hehehe……" Purple Bat God Venerable said: "Your disciples?"

"But these two?"

As he spoke, he gestured toward the rear of the large ship.

Then someone brought out Lian Nihong and Long Yi, escorting them forward.

"Release them!" Yusi furrowed her brow.

"Impossible!" Purple Bat God Venerable said: "These two jointly killed a Silkworm King of our Ice Silkworm Squad—a late God Sovereign Realm demon cultivator!"

"If your human side does not give an explanation for this, we absolutely cannot allow you to take them away!"

Yusi said: "What explanation do you want?"

Seeing these two were still alive, Yusi breathed a sigh of relief.

Purple Bat God Venerable said: "First, they killed our Silkworm King—life for life, one must remain behind; I will take responsibility for delivering them to the Nine Pastures Demon King!"

"You may only choose one to return!"

"Second, you must also compensate corresponding resources!"

"Resources can be negotiated!" Yusi said: "Tell me what you want directly—even solid divine gold is acceptable!"

"But the persons cannot be negotiated!"

"These two must be handed over to me intact and complete!"

"Otherwise, everyone here must die!"

The God King Realm Yusi spoke with unyielding firmness.

At the same time, a vast dharma manifestation suddenly condensed, occupying half the void.

A tremendous pressure descended from the void.

Purple Bat God Venerable said: "This is…… a God King Dharma Manifestation?"

"Good, good, good…… are you humans determined to wage war against us demons?"

Yusi said: "I do not wish to wage war—I only wish to take my people away!"

"Will you release them or not?"

"No!" The Purple Bat God Venerable's attitude was abnormally firm: "Senior, we lost a God Monarch realm Silkworm King. These two instigators, I must take one back to answer to the Nine Pastures Immortal King!"

"Ants..." At this point, Yu Si's patience was completely exhausted.

Contempt flashed in her eyes: "Speaking nicely to you, you don't understand. Then I can only speak with strength!"

Rumble—

In the void, vast pressure mixed with the power of Dao laws descended. The God Venerables and God Monarchs below were instantly locked in place by Yu Si's pressure, unable to move at all.

Bang... bang bang...

The Dao law chains locked around Lian Nihong and Long Yi's bodies, however, shattered with a boom.

The two regained their freedom.

Yu Si asked: "The thing Young Master wanted, did you get it?"

Lian Nihong pointed at the Purple Bat God Venerable and said: "The ring is in his hand, it's that blue-green ring!"

"Good!" Yu Si waved a hand, and the blue-green ring on the Purple Bat God Venerable's hand was taken away. Another wave of her hand threw it to Lian Nihong: "You have three breaths, check it!"

Lian Nihong didn't use three breaths at all. She merely glanced at it and said: "It's there... everything is inside!"

"Go!" Yu Si deployed the flying boat, taking the two and whoosh—departed in a flash.

As for those Yao clan God Venerables and God Monarchs, she didn't move against them.

"Damn it... damn it..." After Yu Si left, the Purple Bat God Venerable flew into a rage: "Human race... just you wait!"

"Brothers, return at once!"

"Report this news to the Nine Pastures Yao King!"

"Young Master, mission accomplished!" Yu Si brought the two back to the He family.

Lian Nihong also looked at He Pingsheng with a face full of gratitude and said: "He Pingsheng... thank you!"

"Here... this is the thing promised to you. Good thing it's all here!"

She handed over a ring.

He Pingsheng took the ring, nodded and said: "Good that you're back safe. Good thing I didn't go with you, otherwise it would've been big trouble!"

Lian Nihong's face instantly showed shame.

After a few breaths, she spoke again: "He Pingsheng, I'm leaving... afterwards... we might not be able to meet often!"

"Regardless, thank you!"

"Thank the Master God, for letting me meet you. If not for you, my life might have had a completely different ending!"

"I'm leaving!"

Lian Nihong left, returning to the Lian family.

After all, the Lian family needed her.
