Chapter 35: Secret Passage

Six demons lay silently on the ground, dead as could be.

After they fell, Sheng Hong also discovered these few demons.

He immediately used Teleportation to get there, and after a quick check, he said to Su Xi, Ji Fu, and Da Jin, "They just stopped breathing; someone must have been here before us."

Da Jin was surprised, "Who? Cui Tongling?"

Su Xi did not speak.

Ji Fu cared even less, "Who cares who it is? These cannibal demons are dead, so they're dead; it makes no difference who killed them."

As she spoke, she explained to Su Xi, "The demons on Da E Mo Dao are also called cannibal demons. People from the Ghost Clan have also been victims in the past. The time I came here, it was to avenge my clansmen. I slaughtered thousands of their demons, including a Demon General."

Su Xi was full of admiration, "Impressive!"

Ji Fu was very pleased, "You have to let them know the power of your clan, then they won't dare to provoke you; they are just cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong."

Sheng Hong stripped the clothes off the four demons and packed their corpses into a Storage Bag, "Let's disguise ourselves and first figure out where the kidnapped people are. Also, for the demons to be able to abduct so many people at once, they must have a spatial treasure capable of holding living beings. If we want to take those people away, we will need one too. So we must also find a spatial treasure."

"Let's split into two groups; I'll go find the spatial treasure." She had the System Map, making it more convenient to find things.

"No." Sheng Hong did not dare let Su Xi act alone, "It's too dangerous."

Ji Fu said, "I think it's fine. I'll take the Young Sect Master, and Hong-lang and Da Jin can go together. Don't worry, I've been here before."

Sheng Hong still refused, "No, if the Junior Martial Uncle loses even a single hair, I will be expelled from the sect."

Everyone: "..."

Ji Fu led the team to a cliffside.

She turned her head to look at Sheng Hong, "Hong-lang, do you dare to die for love with me?"

Sheng Hong was speechless, "Stop messing around."

"Haha~ Hong-lang is shy." Saying this, she jumped down first.

Sheng Hong hurriedly followed, urging, "You!"

Su Xi looked down, and about several dozen meters below, there was a large protruding rock, "These two really have a good relationship."

Da Jin turned into a big cat, "Young Sect Master, get on; I'll take you down."

Su Xi was surprised, "Why so proactive today? Could it be that you want to betray Da Miao and have an illicit affair with me?"

"Young Sect Master! You are sick in the head!" Da Jin turned back into human form and jumped straight down.

Su Xi chuckled, and just as she was about to jump down after them—

【Host, Xue Fuyi is here!】

Su Xi immediately used an Invisibility Talisman to hide her form, and then, within the System Map, she saw Xue Fuyi, Cui Cong, and Cui Tongling's group.

【So that's it, it must have been Cui Tongling who told them about Da E Mo Dao. Er Miao, the cooldown for Shadow Stealth is over, right?】

【Yes, Host, you can use the skill within the range of the System Map.】

【Good. Prepare the Lucky Dice, Shadow Stealth!】

【Congratulations, Host! Successfully obtained 15 points of Luck from the target! One rusty dagger with unknown information, reward for reversal points:, reward for one Treasure Box!】

【Awesome! This trip was truly worth it.】 Su Xi was extremely happy, then jumped off the cliff without hesitation.

Sheng Hong was just about to go up to see what happened to Su Xi and why she hadn't come down yet, when he saw her teleport over with a happy expression.

"Let's go." Su Xi said to Sheng Hong.

Ji Fu returned after scouting the path, "The secret passage is blocked!"

"Dig it open." Sheng Hong said concisely.

Ji Fu raised an eyebrow at her husband, "It has to be Hong-lang; if a mountain blocks the way, move the mountain; if the sea blocks the way, fill the sea—just charging forward."

Su Xi said, "The mettle of a Void Refinement stage cultivator, I've witnessed it!"

"He's mine!" Ji Fu hugged Sheng Hong with strong possessiveness.

Su Xi and Da Jin: "..."

"Stop it!" Sheng Hong helplessly pulled her away.

The System Map could see through the rubble blocking the secret passage to the other side, where there was an iron gate, and it was locked. But a bunch of keys hung on the wall, along with a chair; there should have been a guard, but they were not on duty at the moment.

The rubble wasn't deep, only a meter or so thick, and Da Jin dug through it in just a few moments.

"There is a barrier on the iron gate." Sheng Hong looked at the iron gate and the keys on the wall, "If you don't open the door with the key, you will trigger the barrier, and breaking it will also trigger the barrier."

Su Xi looked at the iron gate, which was over half a foot wide, "Let me try."

"What is the Junior Martial Uncle going to do?" Sheng Hong looked at her.

Su Xi said, "I'll tell you a secret: my Dao Body is special, and ordinary barriers can't stop me."

Ji Fu looked at Su Xi in surprise, "A natural gift indeed!"

Su Xi put her hands on her hips and nodded proudly, "Yes, otherwise how could I be the Young Sect Master?"

Da Jin had also heard Er Miao mention how Su Xi had accidentally entered Ling Shou Yuan and met Rong Shou, forming a master-disciple bond. The barrier at Ling Shou Yuan was not something one could accidentally enter so easily; so it was because of her special Dao Body.

Deducting one point, Su Xi teleported to the other side of the barrier, then took the keys off the wall... just as she was about to open the door, she heard footsteps approaching.

Su Xi opened the System Map and saw a cannibal demon.

【Kill the enemy and win!】

The cannibal demon fell.

Afterwards, Su Xi even put his corpse into the System Space for Er Miao to handle.

After unlocking it, just as Sheng Hong had said, the barrier was not triggered.

"The Junior Martial Uncle's Dao Body is truly rare." Ji Fu now looked at Su Xi as if she were a rare treasure.

"Don't spread it around~" Su Xi said with a giggle.

"Definitely not, we're on the same side." Ji Fu wore an 'I understand' expression.

Sheng Hong looked at the two of them...

Da Jin whispered, "Brother Hong, I think those two are birds of a feather."

Sheng Hong held his forehead, hoping Master and the Sect Leader would not blame him.

Su Xi restored the pile of rubble to its original state, locked the iron gate, and hung the key back on the wall to prevent any other demons from discovering the anomaly.

Watching Su Xi's smooth and effortless movements, Sheng Hong began to wonder what she had done before joining the sect.

Ji Fu, on the other hand, admired Su Xi more and more, "This little martial aunt of yours is truly excellent."

"Boom—" A loud noise came from above the secret passage, shaking loose several pieces of rubble.

Through the map, Su Xi saw that Cui Cong and the others had already engaged the demons head-on.

In this way, it was actually more convenient for them to act.

Ji Fu walked in front to lead the way.

After winding and turning until Su Xi was dizzy, they finally exited the secret passage into a warehouse.

Er Miao had drawn a very detailed map of the secret passage; it was like a giant spider web, yet there was only one path that led out. Taking one wrong turn could lead them into a circular dead end.

【A-Fu's memory is also remarkable.】 Su Xi said to Er Miao.

【All leaders are usually the cream of the crop.】

【Mm.】

Sheng Hong said to Su Xi, "Do not rashly advance ahead."

"Rest assured," Su Xi replied, "I won't lose a single hair."

"Since you are so afraid of being expelled from the sect, why did you dare to marry me?" Ji Fu asked.

This question! It was a bit sharp... Su Xi and Da Jin looked at each other, then looked at Sheng Hong.
