CHAPTER 147: CHAPTER 140 TWIN WHITE DEMONS_2

Bai Ya looked at the Demons that had appeared with a look of distaste on her face. "So ugly."

Da Bai, on the other hand, had stars in his eyes. "These are all Spirit Stones, sparkling with Spirit Light. How are they ugly?"

The battle began, and the battle ended.

Da Bai stepped on a Demon Clan corpse, looked at his torn trench coat, and with a livid face said, "Do you know this is the last one I have left? You deserve to die for this!"

A Returning to Void peak Fire Qilin and a Returning to Void peak White Tiger were now the top combatants in this Returning to Void Hunting Ground.

That was also why Mo Yang was willing to let the two beasts in. If they died even with such strength, what chance would the Human Clan have? They might as well just surrender.

「...」

By the time Chen Jiuge found out that Da Bai and Bai Ya were missing, it was already three days later.

"You’re saying Da Bai and Bai Ya went to the Hunting Ground?" Chen Jiuge furrowed his brow.

"That should be the case. The night I got back, Da Bai came and asked me if one could earn a lot of Spirit Stones in the Hunting Ground," Ming Yujing replied.

Considering Da Bai’s dire financial situation, Chen Jiuge figured he really might have gone to the Hunting Ground. But isn’t an Identity Token required to enter the Hunting Ground? How did Da Bai get in? And with Yue Meng’s help, Bai Ya isn’t lacking in Spirit Stones either, so why would she join Da Bai in such reckless behavior?

With deep doubts, Chen Jiuge arrived at the Returning to Void Hunting Ground.

"You there, brother, did two Spiritual Beasts come here three days ago?"

"Oh, are you Senior Brother Chen?" The disciple at the registration desk had a very vivid memory of Da Bai, who had arrived that night.

After some explanation, Chen Jiuge learned that Da Bai and Bai Ya had gotten in because Mo Yang Venerable pulled some strings.

Could it be because Da Bai is also a Qilin, so Mo Yang Venerable let him in? Chen Jiuge speculated.

"You must be Chen Jiuge." A young boy wearing sunglasses, Mo Yang, appeared in front of Chen Jiuge and explained, "I let your Spiritual Beasts in. A Returning to Void peak Fire Qilin and a White Tiger are among the elite here, so there should be no accidents. If even they, with their strength, met with an accident, wouldn’t others going in just be seeking death?"

Looking at Mo Yang, who had a style similar to Da Bai’s, Chen Jiuge suddenly had a bad premonition, even though the strength of Da Bai and Bai Ya was indeed very strong.

「Inside the Hunting Ground」

Da Bai shook out his tattered trench coat and said to the Cultivators who had barely escaped with their lives beneath him, "Everyone, look here."

"Ahem, I killed those Demons. Did I not save your lives?"

The Cultivators exchanged glances, eventually nodding in agreement.

"So, shouldn’t you show some gratitude?" Da Bai rubbed his thumb and forefinger together, an avaricious expression on his face.

Watching from behind, Bai Ya shook her head. This is going too far. After all, killing those Demons had already earned them a significant amount of Merit. With just a little more effort, Da Bai would have gathered enough to clear his debts.

Although the Cultivators grumbled internally, each handed over a considerable number of Spirit Stones, as Da Bai had indeed saved their lives.

「...」

"HISSS... Thirty-two thousand and thirty-one Top Grade Spiritual Stones. That doesn’t seem to be much less than what we got from the Demons," Da Bai said in a daze.

"Bai Ya, do you think we’d get rich quicker if we robbed people?"

"If you want to die, I won’t stop you," Bai Ya said, collecting her share of the Spirit Stones and looking at Da Bai, speechless.

"All right, all right, it was just a joke," Da Bai said regretfully.

Two Demons had appeared in the Returning to Void Hunting Ground. If members of the Demon Clan encountered them, they died. If Cultivators encountered them, they had to cough up Spirit Stones.

After Bai Ya talked him out of robbery, Da Bai came up with a new idea. He decided to specifically hunt Demons that were already fighting Cultivators. He would kill the Demons and then collect a batch of life-saving Spirit Stones from the Cultivators—earning two sets of Spirit Stones for one effort.

At first, Bai Ya worried the Cultivators might refuse, leading to conflict. However, everything went surprisingly smoothly, which puzzled her. Are Cultivators these days really so accommodating?

If those Cultivators knew her thoughts, they would surely protest loudly, Accommodating? You two just go on a killing spree! Your strength is off the charts! If we didn’t hand over the Spirit Stones, what if your beastly nature suddenly flared up and you slaughtered us?

「Demon Clan Headquarters」

"What’s going on? Why has the loss of personnel in the Returning to Void Hunting Ground been so high these past few days?" Ao Juli, the Demon Clan Commander responsible for the Returning to Void battlefield, looked at the casualty report with dissatisfaction.

"Demon King Ao Juli," reported a Demon, lying prostrate on the ground and visibly frightened, "according to reports from our clansmen who managed to escape, two extremely powerful Spiritual Beasts have appeared inside. Few of our Demon Clan can withstand their attacks. Furthermore, they specialize in hunting our kin who are already engaged in battle with Human Cultivators."

"Extremely powerful? Doesn’t our Demon Clan have any geniuses? Are you trying to make me a laughingstock? I don’t care what methods you use, mobilize reinforcements for me! Those two culprits must be killed!" Ao Juli said furiously.

Damn it, if the other Demon Kings find out, how could I ever show my face again? I’d probably have to bring my own stool to future gatherings, Ao Juli worried secretly.

「...」

Chen Jiuge had no idea his two Spiritual Beasts were so formidable that they had driven the Demon King responsible for the Returning to Void Hunting Ground to the point where he’d feel the need to bring his own stool to gatherings.

Chewing on a roast rabbit that tasted like wax, Chen Jiuge found his appetite had shrunk. He used to be able to eat three or four in one go, but today he could barely manage three.

Alas, Da Bai is really causing trouble. And Bai Ya too... I hope she doesn’t pick up his bad habits, he thought.

"Master, it’s time for us to set out," Ming Yujing said, bringing Bali along as he quietly poked his large head through the doorway.
