Chapter 221: How to Say

But True Person Lin and Sang Lingci both had to go against the current into the water.

"Lin Ze, Lingci, stop!" Chongdao True Person swiftly released a sword light, instantly blocking the two and forcefully pushing them farther away.

"Senior Brother, Jiang Yu and the others three——" Sang Lingci's words hadn't finished when the lake water burst open again.

This time, however, it wasn't water shooting upward, but the great lake split open a width of two or three zhang.

Below, an opening emitted a bright, glistening light, becoming even more translucent in the waterlight.

The Golden Core cultivators all exclaimed in surprise: "It's actually a top-grade spirit stone mine?!"

Before, everyone only saw from the message maple leaf that Jiang Yu said there were top-grade spirit stones, and thought they were beside the demon soul, but never imagined it was actually a mine!

But this mine, in the blink of an eye, was covered again by the lake water closing over it.

All the Golden Core cultivators immediately sent their divine sense into the lake, yet beneath the water there was a natural restriction; their divine sense could extend only two or three zhang before it could go no further.

Besides seeing some shattered stones or destroyed formation flags, there was no trace of Jiang Yu.

Feeling there would be no more explosions, Chongdao True Person was the first to jump into the lake: "Grand Void Sect disciples, go into the water to find someone."

Several Grand Void Sect Golden Core cultivators instantly followed his move, while the remaining twenty or so Golden Core cultivators, after entering the water, rushed straight toward the spirit stone vein just seen.

And Huangfu True Person of the Myriad Sword Sect, along with Du Heng and Lu Xin who were only at the early Golden Core stage, and the senior monk of the Great Awakening Temple, followed the few Grand Void Sect people in search.

The Jiang Yu they were seeking was actually at the lake bottom; but at the moment the black bell flew out black flames, the dragon soul gave them a warning.

She and Jiang Tu were fast, bringing their two senior brothers into the Dragon Pearl, barely escaping the calamity.

The Dragon Pearl was immediately overturned by a huge spirit wave, sinking deeper into the lake bottom, and, without noticing, fell into a narrow tunnel.

But precisely because of this, the two injured Jiangs saw the Demon Race wearing a black bell, flying swiftly through this winding, changeable lake-bottom tunnel.

"The Dragon Pearl's daily flight distance is limited; if we can't catch up, what do we do?" Jiang Tu transformed his body, turning into a palm-sized black turtle, ready to give chase himself at any moment.

Jiang Yu stared fixedly at the bell ahead, her brain racing rapidly; the tunnel's diameter was only about a chi, too small for an adult to fit inside, uncontrolled, and the purple-gold thunder bamboo in her hand likewise could not be deployed.

Only the Thunder Spirit Fan itself could maneuver here, but she wasn't sure Jiang Tu could use it well.

The key is, the demon soul's strength is unknown; trapping it was pure luck, and she worries Jiang Tu might suffer a backlash.

Just as she was pondering whether there was another way, the chaotic primordial sigil in her sea of consciousness transmitted a battle-ready intent.

She almost forgot, this book is also a high-grade spirit treasure.

Jiang Yu hesitated only a breath, then gave Jiang Tu a look, turning to the dragon soul beside her: "Dragon King, can you go pursue it? I don't need you to fight it head-on; just being able to block it for a moment will do."

"Afraid I'll run?" The dragon soul's eyeballs rolled around.

But before he could think of some crooked idea, Jiang Tu, who shared deep tacit understanding with Jiang Yu, suddenly struck it, slapping a Dragon Clan secret sigil into its body.

The Dragon King, who had reached the ninth stage and even broken through to the tenth stage to become a god, simply couldn't believe he'd been hit by a seventh-stage cultivator.

"Don't be disheartened; this place is mine, delaying your reaction by a breath is as easy as flipping a palm." Jiang Tu glanced at it with a hint of pride.

And said: "Hurry up and block that demon soul; if you block it, there will be a reward."

The dragon soul resisted, but seeing Jiang Tu point to the distant planted dragon lingzhi fruit, it swallowed its saliva: "Send me there."

"Take this; as long as you can slap it onto the great bell, you can block the demon soul.

We'll arrive shortly." Jiang Yu summoned the chaotic primordial sigil from her brow, handing it over, flipping to the seal sigil page.

The dragon soul widened its dragon eyes, somewhat incredulous: "You have this thing, why didn't you use it before the demon mansion exploded?"

"Just now, it was still asleep while refining the soul bead." Frankly, Jiang Yu felt for the first time the battle intent of the sigil book.

Before this, she mostly used this book to study talismans.

The dragon soul sized her up, not knowing what to say; not using the ultimate move earlier was simply a waste of heaven's bounty.

"Oh no, the demon soul has vanished, you hurry up and get to work." Jiang Tu stuffed the sigil book into its claws, originally wanting to kick it out of the Dragon Pearl with a kick, but finally sensibly sent it out.

The dragon soul took a deep breath, silently flying toward the direction the demon soul fled.

When Jiang Tu controlled the Dragon Pearl to catch up, he only saw the sigil book blaze with golden light, instantly slapping the black bell away.

The demon soul, astonished, again swung its great hammer at the dragon soul, but unexpectedly, as the bell flew far, the sigil book automatically flew back.

And covered its head, sucking it into the book with a clang, the great hammer fell to the ground.

The sigil book flew again toward the dragon soul; this guy turned his head and ran: "Don't eat me, we're on the same side, Ao You, Jiang Yu, save me!"

"Catch it back." Jiang Yu patted Jiang Tu; the latter deliberately waited until the sigil book neared the dragon soul's head before taking it into the Dragon Pearl.

The sigil book circled the invisible Dragon Pearl, spinning; hearing Jiang Yu's voice transmission say to bring back the bell and hammer, it reluctantly turned back to collect the spoils.

But when Jiang Tu again brought the sigil book into the Dragon Pearl, seeing the dragon soul dodging far away, she also dared not put the book back into her sea of consciousness.

Instead, she set up a trapping formation, placing the sigil book inside, and said: "You, did you really devour the demon soul?"

Could this be a demon treasure?

Clatter, the sigil book flipped its pages, spitting out a fainted demon soul.

Jiang Yu then saw clearly: a layer of sigil pattern was imprinted on the demon soul's face—"seal sigil."

The sigil book nodded, then wobbly flew toward her face, rushing into her sea of consciousness.

No, Jiang Yu quickly blocked it with spiritual light: "You stay here and guard the demon soul; later return to the sea of consciousness."

Just kidding, I don't want to be tainted by demonic energy.

As a result, the sigil book, which had just produced a bit of spiritual sense, swooshed onto the demon soul, delivering a flurry of fan strikes.

Jiang Tu hurriedly pulled Jiang Yu out of the formation: "Temperamental, but luckily it was previously damaged; otherwise, whether you're master or servant wouldn't be certain."

After a pause, it thought of another matter: "We've captured the demon; what do we tell those Golden Core cultivators?"

Jiang Yu pondered: "It disappeared after the explosion."

"Will that work? You're not going to destroy it?"

"It'll work; after entering the Ghost Realm, I believe True Person Qian will be willing to exterminate the demon. Let's go, we're heading out."

Jiang Tu felt Jiang Yu was a bit possessed; why again look for ghost cultivators? He secretly sent a mental transmission to the dragon soul: "Can you completely exterminate demons?"

"With thunder, Jiang Yu's golden thunder bamboo can exterminate demons." The dragon soul let out a long sigh, "Still, it's better to be human; even a tiny Foundation Establishment cultivator can have many treasures, gaining overwhelming advantage against enemies."

As it turns out, I was still a bit hesitant; now I've decided—after leaving the cave heaven, please trouble yourself to send me off for reincarnation.

I think, in my next life I'll be a human.

Jiang Tu didn't understand its idea, so after hearing it, he didn't keep in touch with Jiang Yu, but instead controlled the dragon pearl to quickly exit the tunnel.

Then, Jiang Yu and I found a place and pretended to have been knocked unconscious from being flown here; of course, the two senior brothers also moved out of the dragon pearl, except these two are actually unconscious.

"Jiang Yu!" Not long after, Sang Lingci saw them and rushed over quickly to check.

Jiang Yu woke up just in time: "Elder Sang? Where's Jiang Tu? And the two senior brothers?"
