Chapter 793 A Crushing Defeat: Mai Emerges from Seclusion (Part 2)

A few days later.

"If it weren't for Brother Youhua keeping watch inside the sect, I really don't know how much more trouble we would have caused."

Inside Hanako Ryu's bedroom, "Solo Pavilion," Su Che and Hanako Ryu sat down as host and guest, respectively. Attendants served fresh fruit and fragrant tea, but neither of them seemed interested in the food.

"Liao Kong and Yu Wangyou were both injured. Jin Yunu from your side said she was going into seclusion, but in reality she was recuperating. All four of them went together, and except for Hua Gu, they were all injured."

Hanako's face was full of gloom.

"They say they're in charge, but they're just terrifying people."

"Those are just rumors spread by ignorant juniors in the sect. No matter how capable Yishan and Nongyue are, they were still defeated by Chief Hua and his group, and the Kingdom of Guzhu is still ours."

"Is that called running away?"

Hua Ziliu looked at Yang Sui, whose face remained impassive, and said, "It's just a matter of knowing when to stop. The Ma Yi Patriarch will emerge from seclusion in the next couple of days. How much ability do Yi Shan and Nong Yue have to face his demonic power directly?"

"That's true. But your presence in our sect is a genuine achievement."

Su Che smiled slightly: "Do Dugu Chen and Wanyan Sheng have a plan for handling this?"

"Even the Chief of the Buxu Sect was defeated, so what's the point of dealing with these juniors? Of course, we should just ignore it and pretend nothing happened."

Hanako's words carried a sense of melancholy.

Su Che nodded. These people had delivered their wives and daughters to his doorstep; it was only natural that they should be given a smoother landing. Hua Ziliu's explanation was also quite good.

Since both sides suffered defeats, how can we convince people to accept the outcome by targeting a few high-level cultivators instead of punishing the leader who lost?

Even the Demonic Sect cannot act recklessly.

"I heard you've been working hard in the palace these past few days. Did you come up with some great medicine?"

Hanako asked curiously.

Su Che knew that the reason this person had invited him here today was most likely because of this matter.

"The Five Dragons Locking Pill is difficult to make in a short time; it's just a matter of crafting a few magical artifacts."

"So you're also skilled in weapon crafting, brother. I wonder if you could show me?"

Su Che could naturally tell that Hanako Ryu had something in mind, but he didn't care. He took out a fire pill from his sleeve and handed it to him.

The fire pill was crystal clear, and as soon as it appeared, a surge of heat filled the room.

"This is……"

Hanako Ryu's words carried a hint of hesitation as he reached out and took the Fire Pill.

It felt almost weightless, but according to Hanako Ryu's spiritual senses, it seemed to contain boundless heat about to burst forth.

The Great Sun True Fire, condensed within a pill—what is this thing? Is this a common practice in the outer void?

"What's the use?"

Hanako Ryu looked at Su Che beside her.

If you ingest such a pill, I don't know what other effects it will have, but if you were to become a ghost cultivator, your soul would have to flee faster, otherwise it would be burned to ashes by the Great Sun True Fire.

"It's not very useful, just something to practice with."

I've fallen for your nonsense.

Hanako threw the Fire Pill back at Su Che.

"Brother, you really have some free time. Why don't you take a look at this?"

As Hanako Ryu spoke, she took out a small wax pellet from her hand and handed it to Su Che.

"This is?"

“The new medicinal material from the Central Plains is called Dragon Cocoon. If you have time, brother, why not study it and see if you can refine any kind of pills from it?”

Su Che took the small wax pill. Under the yellow wax seal, something resembling a dragon or an insect was solidified in the center. Its ferocious and roaring appearance gave Su Che a sense of familiarity.

This thing... isn't this the Gu worms inside the bodies of those people in White Deer Cave? It's called a dragon pupa.

After going around in circles, I never expected to run right into the Longevity Cult.

Is this thing useful?

Even though he wanted to keep it right then and there, Su Che deftly returned the wax pill to Hanako Ryu's hand.

"I have a lot on my plate, and without the formula, I wouldn't have time to worry about such things."

Su Che spoke with difficulty, while Hanako Ryu simply smiled.

He had dealt with this man, Yang Sui, several times before and knew his nature of being driven by profit, so he set a price.

"You always ask me where those materials from the Central Plains come from, don't you? Well, it just so happens that they're the ones who gave me this dragon pupa. If you can figure out the secrets, won't your two families have everything when you meet?" It really was White Deer Cave.

This group of evil people not only stirred up trouble in the Central Plains, but it turns out they had already made contact with those in the south.

Su Che nodded.

Back in the Earth Official Immortal Mansion, I couldn't understand why the White Deer Cave was able to get ahead of others and make arrangements in the Immortal Mansion in advance, but now it seems not surprising at all.

If one is backed by the Lord of the End of Dharma, who is proficient in the laws of the void, being one step ahead is a piece of cake.

With the Xuandu Palace on one hand and the Southern Wilderness Demonic Sect on the other, this is truly a lucrative business opportunity.

"In that case, I'll think of a way."

Su Che picked up the wax pill and continued to say to Hua Ziliu, "But I won't let you do all this for nothing. If any deal really goes through, you'll get a share of the profits."

"We're all brothers, isn't talking about this a bit too distant?"

A hint of joy finally appeared on Hanako Ryu's face.

As the two were about to continue their pleasantries, they suddenly felt a powerful aura rise from the ground, pointing straight to the sky.

It was as if a towering peak was rising from the ground, piercing through the entire Nine Heavens and about to plunge into the outer void.

Not only Hanako Ryu standing next to him, but Su Che could also feel his own heart skipping a beat.

This feeling was similar to that of the Black Mountain Monster when he returned to the Nine Heavens Realm, perhaps even stronger.

"This is……"

Hanako glanced at the somewhat bewildered Su Che beside her: "I won't keep you any longer, brother. Now that Ancestor Ma Yi has broken through his seclusion, his aura is even stronger than before."

The Demon Lord in Hemp Robes has broken through the barrier and is now displaying his powerful magic and the aura of the realm belonging to the Immortal of Longevity.

Under his demonic power, even heaven and earth had to bow down.

Mai is proclaiming to all those who covet his power, both inside and outside the realm, just as a carnivore marks its territory, demonstrating its ability.

At the same time, Su Che could also sense that within a range of several thousand miles, three or four other auras rose from the ground, seemingly in response to the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes' display.

This is a greeting, and also a silent protest.

This is the power of the Immortal of Longevity.

Su Che felt the power displayed by the Demon Lord in Hemp Robes. As expected of the Immortal of Longevity, his magical power and aura were enough to subdue heaven and earth and suppress the sect's fortune.

"I'll go and pay my respects."

"Yes, yes, after you trusted disciples have finished your greetings, we will also go and pay our respects to our ancestor."

Su Che apologized to Hanako Ryu and headed directly towards the Maki Demon Lord's bedroom.

With lightning speed, Su Che arrived outside the bedchamber. Apart from Hua Gu and Jin Yunu, there was no one else there, not even the Demon Lord in hemp robes.

"Is Senior Sister feeling any better?"

Su Che saw Jin Yunu, who had a pale face, and quickly went up to greet her.

"She's just a useless piece of trash, what's the point of asking her?"

The palace gates suddenly opened, and the Demon Lord in hemp robes stepped out. He covered the distance of several dozen feet in just two steps using the technique of shrinking the earth to an inch.

"It's one thing to lose to Nongyue, but to lose to Yishan too. Hmph, and all you do is think about playing with women. If you keep going like this, you'll just be playing with other people's women."

The Demon Lord in Hemp Robes showed absolutely no mercy to his disciple, Jin Yunu, and directly mocked her with cold words.

"And Hua Gu, if you can't even handle this simple matter, how can I entrust the sect to you with peace of mind?"

He gave his disciple a look of disappointment, then finally turned to look at Su Che.

Those cold, dark eyes were like a deep pool, seemingly trying to trap Su Che's soul within them.

"Only the Yang marrow is somewhat better. I heard you refined this pill?"

He opened his palm, and inside was a Five Dragons Locking Pill.

You really can't hide it from him.

Su Che looked at the pills in the palm of the Demon Lord in hemp robes; they were definitely made by his own family.

This old ghost claimed he was going into seclusion, so how does he know all these trivial matters?
"Yes, they were all refined by this disciple."

"That's well done, but it seems you didn't use any Yin Demons. Is there some clever idea behind it? Refine it for me later."

The Demon Lord in hemp clothing lightly brushed it aside, seemingly harboring some suspicion towards Su Che, or perhaps having other plans.

"You few, come with me into the hall."
