Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

Chapter 376 The Aloof and Holy Human Buddha Child VS The Adorable and Devoted Demon Cat Emperor [52]

After that night's hint, Yuejia did behave herself for a month. During this time, in addition to staying by Shijia's side, Jiang Xiyu would occasionally take time to return to the Demon Emperor's Palace, subtly indicating that this behavior could be maintained for a little longer.

However, the good times didn't last long. Before Shiga's magic array could detect any evil intentions, there was another disturbance related to evil intentions on the human side.

When Jiang Xiyu first saw the vow post, he really thought that the cultivation sect was full of incompetent people.

If the human race encounters misfortune, the first thing they will turn to is the Immortal Cultivation Sect. When even the Immortal Cultivation Sect cannot resolve the matter and the people are desperate, they will go to the temple to make vows. The Immortal Cultivation Sect will then use this opportunity to send out vow requests, asking Shiga to come down from the mountain.

Not long after the last incident, trouble has arisen again.

The chaos described in this vow post was far more bizarre than the one that occurred in Yujing City last time. It said that people would inexplicably turn into living dead after sleeping, causing panic among the people of the city, who dared not sleep.

It didn't sound as bloody as Yujing City; rather, it sounded somewhat absurd. Who would suddenly become a living dead after just one night's sleep?

Jiang Xiyu glanced at the vow post and saw that it briefly mentioned that most of the disciples of the cultivation sect had been lost as a result, and that some disciples had even become living dead for no reason before they could even begin to investigate.

Shiga closed the vow scroll, and after reading it, he frowned and remained silent.

Jiang Xiyu thought for a moment. He would go back to see Yuejia every few days, just in case Yuejia caused trouble again. But this time, even the magic array set up by Shijia did not move. Could it be that this had nothing to do with evil intentions, or that Yuejia was able to bewitch some demon again while hiding the Golden Lotus Magic Array?

Jiang Xiyu was completely baffled, so she looked at Shijia and asked softly, "Master, could this matter be related to evil intentions?"

Shiga looked at him and nodded slightly.

Jiang Xiyu glanced at the clouds and asked in confusion, "But the magic array isn't showing any unusual activity?"

Shiga's expression was solemn as he said calmly, "This is not a recent matter."

Judging from the large number of people mentioned in the post, this matter may have been planned for a much longer period than the events in Yujing City, but it has only been revealed now.

Jiang Xiyu asked, "Master, are you going?"

Shiga responded, as he naturally couldn't leave it unattended.

Jiang Xiyu asked, "But if you, Master, go to the human race, what will happen to this magic array?"

Shiga said, "It's alright."

This magic array poses no threat to the demon realm.

In other words, the magic circle will not be removed.

Jiang Xiyu sighed inwardly; he didn't want Yuejia to make any further moves.

Since the magic array could restrain him to some extent, Jiang Xiyu said, "Master, take me with you."

Shiga glanced down at Jiang Xiyu, and after a long while, nodded in agreement.

After leaving the demon realm, the two headed towards the chaotic place indicated in the post.

The post said that the first place where the living dead appeared was Qicheng.

Qi City was one of the more remote cities among the many cities of the human race, surrounded by high mountains, so it was shrouded in an ever-present mist. Jiang Xiyu transformed into her original form and stayed in Shijia's arms. In the blink of an eye, the scenery before them changed, and they found themselves in a desolate place.

Looking down from the sky, all below is a vast expanse of white, with only a faint glimpse of the verdant green of the mountain peaks visible through the mist.

Following the post's directions, Shiga went down and arrived at the city gate.

The area around Qicheng was strangely free of fog, and there were many people coming and going, making it lively and bustling, not at all like anything related to the living dead.

But Jiang Xiyu noticed something was wrong the moment she took a look.

These are all smoke and mirrors.

He looked up at Shiga, whose eyes flickered slightly, as if a faint light had passed through them for a moment.

All the illusions outside Qicheng disappeared, leaving only overgrown weeds and a desolate scene.

Jiang Xiyu said, "Master, is there really no one left in this city?"

Shiga said, "No."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fog that had surrounded them for years began to dissipate.

The disciples of the immortal cultivation sect who were waiting quietly in the clouds finally noticed his arrival and hurriedly flew down to pay their respects.

Looking at the disciples, Jiang Xiyu finally understood what Shijia meant by 'cannot'.

So, "someone" refers to them.

Jiang Xiyu was worried that the whole city had become a living dead, making it impossible to find anyone to find out what was going on.

However, if the living people Shiga was referring to were these disciples of the cultivation sect, then wouldn't that mean that everyone in the city had become living dead?

Jiang Xiyu's pupils shifted slightly, and the next moment, he transformed back into human form. He couldn't help but step forward, curiously wanting to ask the people guarding this place.

When the disciple in blue saw him suddenly appear in front of him, with his cat ears not hidden, clearly a demon, his instinctive reaction was to draw his sword.

It was one of his more senior disciples in purple robes who, seeing that Jiang Xiyu had just come out of Shijia's arms, quickly reached out to stop him.

"One must not be rude in front of a Dharma Master."

Seeing that the young disciple's face had turned pale with fright, Jiang Xiyu chuckled and said sorry.

Perhaps it was because of his handsome face and smiling expression that the disciple in blue hesitated for a moment before belatedly realizing he felt a little shy.

Seeing that he was no longer afraid, Jiang Xiyu pointed to the desolate city and asked him some questions.

The disciple in green glanced at his senior brother, and only dared to speak cautiously after his senior brother nodded. However, while speaking, his eyes couldn't help but wander to the great master standing not far away.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiyu took a step forward with a rather malicious intent and blocked his view of Shiga.

The young disciple quickly lowered his head and replied shyly.

The two were standing quite close, and Jiang Xiyu kept a friendly smile on his face as he asked questions, afraid that the disciple would be nervous.

Shiga's gaze lingered for a moment before he looked away and gently twirled the prayer beads between his fingertips.

After the pearl in his palm had been turned around once, Jiang Xiyu finally finished asking his questions and turned back to Shijia's side.

Shiga raised his eyes and looked at him calmly, as if asking him what he had found out.

Jiang Xiyu said, "This disciple said that they only guarded outside the city, because none of the disciples who went into the city came out again, so the situation inside is not very clear."

"Later I asked about the time when this happened, and it was indeed as the monk said. It was not a recent event. They said that the first time the sect sent a disciple here was a year ago, much earlier than the events in Jade Capital City."

In other words, Yuejia had already set up this scheme long ago.

Last time it was 'anger', so this time, is it greed or delusion?
