This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 417 - 401: White Tiger Envoy
"?" Liang Yi glanced at the Gumei Yuezhan Secret Realm Key in his backpack, looking utterly befuddled.
Isn't it still in his hands? How did others get in?
"It seems that a mysterious force somehow broke through the gate of the Secret Realm, and after that, a Wind God Commerce cultivator who happened to be passing by quietly followed them in, meow."
"However, they were still discovered afterwards. They grabbed something and ran off, and at the crucial moment when they were about to be caught, they rushed out of the Secret Realm and even managed to reseal the gate, meow."
Mr. Orange described the scene with zest, making gestures with his paws up and down.
"Ah, this···"
Liang Yi had heard of the methods to forcefully break into Secret Realms, but doing so carried great risk. If one wasn't careful, the Secret Realm itself could slip into the Void Turbulence, making finding it again as likely as finding a needle in a haystack. Hence, almost no one would do such a thing unless absolutely necessary.
"And, and, you'd never guess who the person trailing the mysterious force was, meow."
"Who is it?" Su Youyi, listening on the side, was somewhat curious. It would make sense for that group of mysterious people to be very careful, yet someone still managed to stealthily follow them.
She wondered whether that group was too careless or the tracker was just too skilled.
"It was the Young Master of Wind God Commerce, meow," Mr. Orange whispered. "Even that case of wine was brought back by him."
"Yu Wei?" Hearing that it was the Young Master of Wind God Commerce, Liang Yi was stunned for a moment, the image of a chubby fellow who's always smiling popping into his head.
"Wasn't that guy supposed to go back to see his dad? After that, he hardly appeared, and there wasn't any sign of him continuing his travels. How did he end up following others into the Secret Realm?"
Players had been complaining on forums for a long time. That mysterious merchant who used to appear in various cities hadn't shown up for a while now. They really missed him... that emperor's uncle for sale.
Liang Yi didn't expect to hear about Yu Wei at this time, which was quite unexpected for him.
"Hey, the cultivation technique Yu Wei practices seems somewhat similar to yours," Su Youyi suddenly recalled the increasingly chubby little fatty who seemed to have gotten a Taotie-related cultivation technique.
"Hmm? Similar to this great one, meow?" Mr. Orange raised his eyebrows. Could it be that the guy is as handsome and dashing, tall and mighty as him?
"You just eat and eat and eat, and so does he. Both of you are gluttons," Su Youyi teased as the image of one person and one cat constantly gorging themselves and getting fatter appeared in her mind.
"Nonsense, this great one employs the noble devouring law to absorb the essence of all things. How can you simply summarise it as gluttony, meow?" Mr. Orange was displeased to hear Su Youyi misunderstanding him in such a manner.
"Alright, alright, alright, you're right, you're right," Su Youyi nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Mr. Orange's perspective.
"···" Although it sounded like he had convinced Su Youyi, why did he feel something was amiss?
"Indeed, this wine was personally sought from Young Master Yu by me just a couple of days ago. It was traded for one of my Northern Xuan Earth Fate Pills," Zhou Zuixi, who was settling his thoughts by the side, spoke up after hearing the conversation.
"At that time, Young Master Yu still had a disgruntled look on his face. After a brief healing of his injuries, he left swearing, planning to go to that Secret Realm to see if he could cause some trouble for that group, which at a glance, didn't seem to be up to any good."
Recalling Yu Wei lying in bed, rubbing his buttocks while cursing, Zhou Zuixi couldn't help but chuckle.
"Yu Wei is injured?" Liang Yi was shocked. Nobody knew better than him how fast that guy could run. After all, the Wind God Commerce was an accidental creation of the Wind God Sect.
While the Wind God Sect may not have left much of an impression in other aspects, when it comes to fleeing, they were at least at the level of a Super Force!
During the glorious days of the Wind God Sect, its disciples could run so fast that others wouldn't even see their taillights.
Yu Wei, though the Young Master of the Wind God Commerce, is also the Young Sect Master of the Wind God Sect. Liang Yi knew that even though no one mentions this sect now, it had not disappeared.
For someone from such a sect to be injured, it looks like the group of people who did it are not simple either.
"He was lucky to escape when the strongest of the group was absent. Unfortunately, he was discovered, and the perpetrator managed to nearly inflict a serious injury with a strike from afar. If not for the numerous treasures on him, he might not have been able to escape at all."
Zhou Zuixi thought of the fierce wound on Yu Wei's back and admired that the man could still run. Claiming the wound was bone-deep was an understatement; it was primarily imbued with an astonishingly aggressive energy.
So astonishing that even a mere glance from Zhou Zuixi stung his eyes sharply, and it took him a long while to recover.
"Yu Wei's Realm should be around the Sixth Realm, right? Could a Seventh Realm Cultivator catch up to him?"
Hearing Liang Yi's question, Zhou Zuixi laughed and said,
"If it were a Seventh Realm Cultivator, Yu Wei would even dare to run in front of them. Unfortunately, this time he encountered a Great Cultivator from the Eighth Realm, and one of the top at that!"
"The Eighth Realm?" Zhou Yuqing raised her eyebrows. Though the path to immortality has been extended and a great era has begun, cultivators of the Eighth Realm are still very rare, with super forces also having only one or two Great Cultivators of the Eighth Realm.
"He said so, I'm not clear on the details," said Zhou Zuixi with a shrug. He hadn't been there; he didn't know if it was true or not.
"He's also lucky he came to the Immortal Dynasty. Otherwise, going anywhere else, there would be no elixirs that could treat his kind of injury."
"Beixuan Lifesaver Elixir, is it? It's a Third Grade Spirit Pill specifically designed to treat residual injuries caused by aggressive forces, right?" Zhou Yuqing suddenly asked, lifting her head.
"Uh... yes," Zhou Zuixi's face showed a hint of helplessness. Wasn't she his aunt, after all? Otherwise, who would remember such a rare spirit pill, unique to the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty and with such limited use?
Looking thoughtfully at Zhou Yuqing, Liang Yi and Su Youyi couldn't help but feel a little curious. Why was Elder Zhou so interested in this matter?
"The Eighth Realm... The pinnacle of killing power... Could it be him?" Zhou Yuqing frowned slightly, murmuring softly.
"Yuqing, do you know that person?" Su Youyi asked curiously.
"I'm not sure, but it's very likely Bai Sheng, the White Tiger Envoy from the Devouring Spirit Sect!"
Zhou Yuqing's expression was somewhat grave, with a trace of worry between her brows.
"Is it that young man with white hair and eyebrows?" Liang Yi recalled the White Tiger Envoy he had seen in Qingliang City, whose aura of slaughter reached the skies, even causing the sun to flicker during daytime.
With Liang Yi's reminder, Su Youyi also recalled that cultivator from Qingliang City who had been at the Eighth Realm, even exchanging blows with Emperor Zhou.
