Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 533 End of the Secret Realm

grunt.

Han Yi's throat bobbed, and a small bulge was clearly visible in his esophagus, but it quickly returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Immediately, a comfortable and relaxed expression appeared on his face.

This black, shadowy thing had an extremely smooth texture and was icy cold, like something you'd eat on a hot summer day.

One bite was just enough to cool down his boiling blood and qi, and also replenish his yin energy.

"It tastes good, would you like one?" Han Yi asked Su Muwan with a smile.

"You..." Su Muwan was completely terrified by Han Yi's series of actions, her expression turning fearful. She stared blankly at Han Yi, as if looking at some kind of monster or demon.

"Are you... really... a person...?" she stammered.

Whether it was the older sister or the younger sister, their minds were completely blank at that moment.

"I'm a person, just an ordinary person." Han Yi smiled at her, which startled Su Muwan so much that she almost fainted.

The scene of Han Yisheng eating the live skinned demon was truly shocking.

Even though Su Muwan's family has a long history and her Peacock Mountain is home to many extraordinary people, she has never met anyone like Han Yi.

In fact, she had never seen it before, but she had never even heard of it; it was simply unheard of and unbelievable.

“Ordinary…ordinary people…” Su Muwan gave a dry laugh, too shocked to speak, and had no idea what to say.

This is terrifying; it completely overturned her values ​​that she had cultivated over the past ten years.

"Don't change the subject. Tell me, what exactly is the use of this thing?"

Han Yi shook the triangular claw in his hand.

"This is a fragment of the Holy Claw, left behind by a powerful ancestor among our spirit demons. But this thing is useless to you; only we spirit demon families can make use of it."

Startled by Han Yi's words, Su Muwan immediately became obedient and explained in detail.

"Moreover, although this thing is just a fragment, it was left behind by those powerful beings. The demonic energy contained in just one fragment will take us several years to digest and absorb."

“Demon aura…” Han Yi immediately understood.

He sensed a sinister aura emanating from Su Muwan from the very beginning, and now that he thinks about it, it must have been demonic energy.

“I see… So, you want it?” He waved the fragment of the raw claw in his hand.

This demonic energy was indeed useless to him; only yin energy was what he needed.

"Yes!" Su Muwan made no attempt to hide her desire, her gaze following Han Yi's hand closely.

Her eyes glowed green, a deep emerald green, as she stared intently at the fragments of the Holy Claw.

It seems that these fragments of the Holy Claw are something that a spirit like her craves most intensely.

“If you want this, I can give it to you, but…” Han Yi changed the subject.

"I'll agree to any conditions you set!" Su Muwan said without hesitation.

As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it, realizing she had spoken too confidently and impulsively. She was afraid that Han Yi would make some shameful and excessive demands.

But then she realized that she was like a little chick being held in the other person's hands.

Even if they make some unreasonable demands, she cannot resist them.

"Okay," Han Yi said with a smile. "If you have any more of these, I'll give them to you."

He pointed to the wooden bracelet on the ground, the one whose yin energy he had drained.

"Is this the kind of jewelry? Made of wood?" Su Muwan was taken aback.

She didn't understand Han Yi's meaning. The bracelet she was wearing wasn't an expensive item; she had just put it on casually to match her clothes.

"No, what I want is similar to the bracelet from before. It's an antique with a long history, preferably a burial item found in an imperial tomb."

Han Yi continued to explain the conditions. "This kind of thing?" Su Muwan frowned slightly. "Put me down first."

Han Yi didn't mind, and easily put it back on the ground. He also slowly deactivated his pure yang form and returned to his normal body.

"There's another one here, which I brought from home. It's been around for quite a few years."

Su Muwan took out an exquisite gold-threaded openwork jewelry box from her bosom.

She was bleeding profusely and seriously injured, but in such a short time, she has recovered almost completely and can even pick things up by herself.

Such powerful recovery ability made Han Yi raise an eyebrow.

After taking the jewelry out of the box, Su Muwan threw it to Han Yi.

"This..." Han Yi took it, examined it carefully, and was immediately pleasantly surprised.

There wasn't much yin energy, maybe one or two units. But he wasn't particularly concerned about the amount of yin energy.

What he valued was the channel through Su Muwan.

The fact that they can bring these out one after another indicates that the other party has quite a few of these items at home.

"How many of these do you have? Do you have a lot at home?" Han Yi asked.

“I’m not sure. I need to go home and look for it.” Su Muwan shook her head. “But there should still be quite a few of these kinds of jewelry and ornaments in the storeroom at home.”

“In that case…” Han Yi paused.

He didn't actually intend to take action at first, nor did he intend to kill Su Muwan.

He was only forced to retaliate because Su Muwan attacked first.

Looking back now, the benefits of keeping Su Muwan alive far outweighed those of having a corpse.

Especially when Su Muwan said that there were quite a few objects with yin energy, he became more certain of his idea.

Relying solely on Yunluo Trading Company's few shops to collect antiques and search for Yin energy is far too inefficient and carries various risks of exposure.

In comparison, Su Muwan's side is more reliable.

But this raises another problem...

"Then how can I trust you?" Han Yi gazed at Su Muwan quietly.

If we just let her go, leave the secret realm, and walk away, the world is vast, and who will be able to find her?

"We, the Su Mu family, keep our word. How could we possibly agree with you..."

As soon as I heard that voice, I knew it was my younger sister who was anxious.

He probably felt that Han Yi didn't believe him, and thinking about his behavior just now, he was furious.

puff…...

It sounded like something being stuffed back into a bottle.

The older sister's calm voice rang out: "Don't worry, I will make you satisfied."

She opened her mouth, stuck her finger inside, and pressed down hard on the back of her tongue.

vomit…...

Her throat spasmed, rolled a few times, and she vomited out a green bead.

"This is my natal bead, and also a source of some of my power."

Su Muwan gently tossed the bead to Han Yi, then collapsed to the ground, her face ashen.

Clearly, losing the bead caused her great physical damage.

Han Yi took it with some disgust; it was sticky and covered in warm saliva and stomach acid. After wiping it with his clothes, he began to examine it more closely.

The bead is emerald green, with five-colored shimmering inside, and two tiny figures twisting and rolling faintly visible.

Squeezed it gently.

Sure enough, Su Muwan's expression turned painful, and her muscles twitched, as if she had suffered great pain.

"Alright, I'll take the Sacred Weapon Fragment and the Natal Bead for now." Han Yi smiled slightly.

Judging from Su Muwan's demeanor, she probably isn't faking it.

He has these two items, which are enough as bargaining chips.

"Okay, but you need to make it clear how many of those things you need before you give me the fragments of the holy weapon."

Su Muwan gradually calmed down and then put forward her conditions.

Han Yi sighed inwardly. He deliberately didn't mention it, actually waiting for the right price. As long as he didn't say anything, one item or ten items would be fine, the more the better.

Once you've agreed, it's hard to go back on your word.

But now Su Muwan has seen through it all…

He made a mental estimate and said a number: "Ten of those things you just mentioned would be enough."

"Ten? Sure!" Su Muwan agreed readily.

Han Yi was taken aback, realizing he had asked for too little.

"Um... no, I misspoke earlier. Fifty. If you give me another fifty of these, I'll give you the Holy Claw Fragment."

He quickly changed his tune and chuckled.

"You...!?" Su Muwan's accent changed again, clearly her sister had intervened again. "Despicable human, how dare you speak like that..."

puff…...

It was the sound of something being forcibly shoved back in.

The older sister said helplessly, "Fifty is impossible. Although we have many more of these pieces of jewelry at home, most of them belong to other clansmen. Even if I go back and try to exchange them, plus my own, I can only find twenty or thirty in a short time."

"Twenty or thirty? That should be fine too." Han Yi felt that was enough, so he didn't press the issue further.

"How will we contact each other then?"

“If I collect them all, I will notify you through the natal bead. The bead will change at that time, and you can observe it when you have time,” Su Muwan replied. “If you need anything, you can also contact me through the bead. Just find some animal blood, it can only be from birds, and soak the bead in it.”

"Okay, it's settled then." Han Yi turned around and walked towards the door.

He ignored Su Muwan.

Since Su Muwan came in on her own, she should be able to leave on her own as well.

After leaving the main house, the courtyard was still the same.

The rope, which had been swaying gently in the still air, suddenly became still and hung quietly on the tree.

The huge full-length mirror behind the courtyard gate became clear, and the figures inside were clearly visible, no longer as eerie as before.

It seemed that all the anomalies were caused by Han Yi's act of swallowing the Nether Demon whole.

Han Yi didn't bother to pay any more attention and left the Netherworld Academy on his own.

He had already gained a lot from this trip, so there was no need to waste any more time.

The large rhombus-shaped crystal he obtained from Yunluo Trading Company alone was enough to raise his true skill level by several levels.

They also secured a channel with Su Muwan, ensuring her continued support for cultivation. The trip to the secret realm was truly worthwhile.

Soon, he found Xiao Zhong again by following the path at the bottom of the canyon.

At this moment, Meng Ren and Gongsun Di also followed the fireworks and came over, now accompanying Xiao Zhong.

Upon seeing Han Yi arrive, the three of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Junior brother, are you alright?" Xiao Zhong asked quickly.

Han Yi shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just a pity that I couldn't avenge you and catch up with that woman."

"What are you saying, junior brother? I was careless this time and failed to lead the team well, almost ruining everything."

Xiao Zhong sighed, somewhat dejected.

"Let's not split up this time. We still have some time. Let's try to find one or two resource points on the way back."

Gongsun Di, being a woman, immediately comforted her.

Xiao Zhong was mostly unharmed after the fight and escape, but he didn't know where the resources he had gathered had gone.

The group comforted Xiao Zhong for a while, then got up again and headed towards the exit of the secret realm.

……………

Palace of a Thousand Flowers, Secret Realm Square.

He Xiang, Yun Xiang, and Elder Kang have been on high alert ever since the formation malfunctioned, carefully observing the situation for fear of another accident.

The atmosphere in the square was heavy and solemn; no one spoke or made a sound.

"Strange, could it really just be an accident...?" After a long while, He Xiang frowned and asked, puzzled.

"An accident... Looking at it now, it seems that only an accident can explain it..." Yunxiang said softly.

“I think Yunxiang is right. Didn’t they just notify Palace Master Feihong? They said the seal was working normally. Looking at it this way, it’s obviously an accident.”

Elder Kang agreed with the Dao.

"What do you mean, right? Do you think what I said is wrong...?" He Xiang glared fiercely at Elder Kang.

"Uh... no... you're both right..." Elder Kang said with an embarrassed smile.

As evening fell, the blood-red setting sun slowly sank below the horizon, leaving only half of it on the horizon.

The eyes of the two black lions flickered, and a white light flashed and then disappeared.

Soon, a person appeared staggering in the square.

The man appeared to be severely injured, covered in blood, his clothes torn to shreds, with not a single patch of uninjured flesh. He collapsed to the ground and fainted.

"Quickly, someone come quickly!" Immediately, those who were there to meet him recognized him, and doctors and family elders quickly rushed over. Before long, more people appeared one after another.

Some people looked normal, though a little tired. Others, on the other hand, had beaming smiles, as if they had discovered something of great value.

Of course, most people, like the first one, had some kind of injury on them, more or less.

Disciples from various academies of Jingtian Manor also appeared one after another.

Although most of the disciples were somewhat tired, they were still in relatively good condition and none of them suffered from missing limbs or sugar.

After all, Jing Tian Manor had the most people and the strongest power in the entire secret realm. Apart from some demonic beasts, no one dared to cause trouble.

Elder Kang breathed a sigh of relief.

Having left the secret realm unscathed, their journey was nearly over.

However, as darkness fell and the great formation was about to close, he counted again and again and realized that four people were still missing. Upon careful calculation, he determined that they were Han Yi, Xiao Zhong, Meng Ren, and Gongsun Di.

If these four are lost, plus Fang Shouming and the other two who went missing earlier...

This time, the loss to the secret realm is the greatest ever seen in the history of Jingtian Manor.

Thinking of this, Elder Kang's face immediately darkened again.

As the last rays of the setting sun gradually faded, only a faint glimmer of light remained in the sky.

Finally, before the great formation shut down, someone slowly emerged from the secret realm.
