Chapter 211: Borrowing Strength

Wan Xiyue also caught up a couple of steps, handed the food box to Jiang Tu, "The hot spiritual meal, eat more."

"Senior sister Wan is the best!" Jiang Tu thought, Jiang Yu should learn more from Wan Xiyue.

On the road, it handed Jiang Yu a beef roll, then slipped into the Dragon Pearl to enjoy the food.

Jiang Yu walked leisurely, returned greetings to the cultivators who greeted her, biting the meat roll while pondering how she could kill Yuan Zhenren and the Demon Race.

First, we must be inside the Heavenly Cave; otherwise, once we go out, the sky and earth are vast, and we might not even be able to find anyone.

Second, we need to use borrowed strength to strike, but the question is how to borrow.

When she reached the foot of the mountain, the little snake Bi Luo stretched its head near the Array Light and shouted, "Ancestor, open the gate, it's too dangerous outside."

The Demon Race has launched a massive slaughter; many cultivators have died, and I'm afraid they will also come for me to devour my spirit.

"Quiet, stay far away." The Ninth-tier Great Demon saw Jiang Yu also approaching, finally responding to the little snake with a sentence.

"Ancestor, after the Heavenly Cave closes, I will definitely roll far away."

But I was thrown into the impoverished Tianwang Temple at birth, never having even a drop of the Spiritual Spring of Xuan Du Mountain, what a loss!

You can enjoy it, the human race can also soak to improve cultivation; why don't you let me use it? I also want to reach the Eighth Tier.

"Ancestor, you wouldn't be trying to monopolize the Spiritual Spring, would you?" Bi Luo, knowing it could cost its life, kept stammering.

But the Ninth-tier Great Demon, upon hearing, immediately scolded, "You damned thing! When did this King ever monopolize?"

Bi Luo, unafraid, said, "If you don't let me use it now, that's monopolizing."

Buzz

The Array Light flickered; the little snake Bi Luo got too close, was tossed up in an instant, but it gracefully floated back down.

Then Guo Jue and Jiang Yu were murmuring, and it zipped to their sides, "Jiang Yu, what are you doing?"

And Jiang Tu? Why aren't you inseparable today, are you slacking or sneaking to eat pills?" It had noticed that Jiang Tu was quite popular at the camp.

That Lin Zhenren, along with someone called Wan Xiyue and Lu Ruochan, always gave it pills.

"Hey, you little snake, stop speaking ill of me behind my back." Jiang Tu had just finished his soup and snacks inside the Dragon Pearl before coming out.

"Your mouth still has snack crumbs, you selfish ghost, you never bring me any."

Soon the Ancestor will open the Array Gate; beware I might not let you in. Bi Luo began to bargain.

Jiang Tu cut in, "You should first open the Array Gate, then stop bragging."

After a brief exchange between the two Seventh-tier quarreling, Jiang Yu had already walked to the spot where the Array Light just flickered, "Demon King, now the Heavenly Cave contains more than one Demon Race."

Since the possessed demon appeared last night, several places have reported bad news.

You also know that the Demon Race, when advancing, spares no means; they like the divine souls and blood of humans and demons alike.

When their cultivation recovers, the entire Heavenly Cave will have no match; you might also become a dish on the plate.

I recall you said this Heavenly Cave will be closed for a month; I suppose that's the shortest period you can currently control.

She came straight to ask for help, fearing the Demon King might not see her, so she said more to lure the other side to meet.

The Ninth-tier Demon King instantly saw through her, "Ha, flowery words. This King could close the Heavenly Cave today and drive the Demon Race out."

Jiang Yu chuckled lightly, "Demon King, wise as you are, but the Demon Race has secret techniques left in the Heavenly Cave, right?"

When that time comes, their cultivation will surpass yours, seize control, and surely take the Heavenly Cave to the Demon Race.

The previous guardian demon fell while defending its land; after falling to you, I'm afraid even the soil can't retain a handful.

Whoosh

The Ninth-tier Great Demon sped in gracefully, hovering and staring at Jiang Yu, "What do you want to say? Did you really think provoking this King would let you exit safely?"

Bi Luo tried to step forward to speak, but Guo Jue quickly pressed its transmission, "If you want to soak in the Spiritual Spring, wait until Jiang Yu finishes talking."

Jiang Yu clasped her fists and bowed, "I dare not; I am here to ask the Demon King to cooperate with us to eradicate the demons."

"You? You're just a tiny Foundation Establishment cultivator; how can you lead a group of Core Formation practitioners?" The Ninth-tier Great Demon gave her a sideways glance, then shifted his gaze to the two Core Formation bodies that had followed in the shadows.

Meanwhile at the camp, over a dozen Core Formation spiritual senses swept this way.

Lin Zhenren and Chong Dao Zhenren both nodded at it, not a hint of awkwardness being discovered; they had come over after seeing the Demon King descend the mountain.

"I certainly cannot represent all cultivators; by 'cooperation' I mean with the seniors of the Ghost Realm.

I think you would also be willing to meet them, but you're confined to this mountain and cannot go.

The juniors can invite people over." Jiang Yu thought, that Nascent Soul ghost cultivator and Qian Zhenren had previously reached extremely high cultivation, probably despising the Ninth-tier Demon King who dominates the mountain, so they never met.

"You, so kind?" The Ninth-tier Great Demon couldn't understand, a tiny Foundation Establishment cultivator, copying the Nascent Soul's heart.

Jiang Yu said plainly, "I want to eradicate the demons and avenge, but my cultivation is insufficient.

Of course, if you could force the demons into a place like Snow-Broken Mountain, an isolated land, without the ghost cultivator seniors, I would also slay them myself."

From the monitoring array beneath Tai Ji Dian, she calculated that the Demon King cannot fully control the Heavenly Cave, so he cannot locate where Yuan Zhenren, who fled far away, is.

The Ninth-tier Great Demon seemed persuaded, "You, can you invite people from the Ghost Realm?"

Jiang Yu nodded, "Hmm, provided you allow people onto the mountain."

"Fine, go invite them." The Ninth-tier Great Demon thought it over, indeed worried the Heavenly Cave still hides more Demon Race.

Previously they were inactive, perhaps their cultivation had sharply declined while recuperating; for example, the demon we fought yesterday clearly lacked a physical body, borrowing cultivators to cause trouble.

"Then, can I borrow the Demon King's power to be sent directly into the Ghost Realm?" Jiang Yu asked immediately.

"Come in." The Ninth-tier Great Demon raised a formation flag, and the Array Gate opened wide.

Jiang Tu leapt back onto Jiang Yu's shoulder and entered the gate; behind, Bi Luo also whooshed into the Array Gate.

"Ancestor, I have fine offerings to present." The little snake produced the Spirit Beast Pill it had obtained from Jiang Tu, offering it seductively.

The Ninth-tier Great Demon opened its mouth, swallowed a few that felt good, "Not bad, little monk, come in as well."

"Yes." Guo Jue hurried inside, thinking Jiang Yu had truly coaxed the Demon King.

The Ninth-tier Great Demon asked again, "Can you refine this pill?"

"The spiritual medicine is incomplete; I cannot refine such a high‑grade pill." Guo Jue had just examined the Spirit Beast Pill; his cultivation couldn't refine it to that level.

Jiang Yu turned around and said, "In the camp there are a few pill cultivators."

"If the Demon King likes them, the juniors will bring them to you for refining."

The Ninth‑rank Great Demon, not being foolish, asked, "Are you trying to get people to ascend the mountain for refuge?"

Jiang Yu, not intending to lie, replied, "No, I want everyone to go up the mountain and resume the broken karmic link."

"Bring the ghost cultivator first, then we'll talk." The Ninth‑rank Great Demon closed the formation gate and, in an instant, flew away.

Xiao She Bilu was delighted, "Jiang Yu, you are truly impressive! Whatever becomes useful to me in the future, I will spare no effort."

Jiang Yu didn't believe it at all, merely glanced back at the camp, waved at the two elders who had appeared, then activated the Seven‑Star Step and proceeded toward the summit.

"I didn't expect Jiang Yu to unlock the formation gate in a single try," Venerable Chongdao said, somewhat surprised.

Venerable Lin smiled, "If Jiang Yu puts her mind into it, she still works with great method."

Venerable Chongdao raised an eyebrow, "Do you regret not having taken her as a disciple?"
