Chapter 68 The Relentless Hunt (2k)

As if the intense struggle had drained her of her energy, Tingting dozed off as soon as she entered the courtyard.

"Big brother, when I wake up tomorrow, will all of this still be real?"

Tingting pursed her lips and kept rubbing her eyes, which she couldn't open, as she asked.

"Of course, go to sleep."

Sha Xiao hugged her, rested her little head on his shoulder, and patted her back gently.

"Um!"

Having received affirmation, Jiang Tingting quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Sha Xiao sat in the master's seat of the Li family mansion, patting Jiang Tingting while playing with the natural slave Gu.

A moment later, Pang Bo, reeking of blood, stormed in with his head down and a huff.

"Phew—Old Sha, I was wrong, you were too kind."

Pang Bo gritted his teeth and roared in suppressed anger.

Zhou Yi walked in slowly, wiping his hands and shaking his head. "I thought feudalism was the limit here, but I never imagined it was actually slavery."

'

Ye Fan walked in, his body crackling with lightning and his face extremely gloomy.

"I've misunderstood; they're no longer worthy of being called human beings."

After Ye Fan and the others interrogated him briefly, they all felt that their worldview had been greatly shaken.

Those in the town who are waiting to exploit the descendants of the deceased can be considered kind-hearted.

They devised strategies and actively tried to influence and discipline the Jiang family, who were outsiders, from various angles, with the primary goal of getting them to kneel down before the Li family.

They believed that the Jiang family must have extraordinary abilities to produce a cultivator.

There are quite a few people who are truly sharpening their knives, preparing to devour the utterly destitute, and replenishing their families with some immortal blood.

They didn't take any action because they knew the Jiang family had already been seen as prey by the Li family, the owners of the town, and they didn't dare to compete with their owners for food.

Sha Xiao chuckled and explained the effects of the slave gu in his hand to everyone for a while.

Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and Zhou Yi were all taken aback.

"These Gu worms are too evil!"

Ye Fan frowned as he looked at the slave Gu, a sense of unease rising within him.

He had always held onto the belief in freedom deep down, and this kind of Gu worm, which could completely control a person's life and death once used, was simply not to his liking.

Pang Bo clicked his tongue in amazement as he looked at the Gu worm: "If we just slap this on the head of the Holy Lord Yao Guang, will nothing happen?"

Zhou Yi shook his head. Although the contact was brief, he quickly determined the likelihood of these Gu worms.

"I think these Gu worms can probably only affect mortals."

Sha Xiao smiled and nodded, saying, "After all, it's a slave Gu raised by mortals, and it can only affect people around the Sea of ​​Wheels realm. Once they overcome the Calamity of Loss, it becomes difficult to fully control it."

For the Slave Gu to work on Sendai cultivators, it would require at least a sixth-rank Slave Gu condensed by a Sendai cultivator.

A slave who is devoted to his master and serves him with all his heart, just like a mortal?

Even the Great Emperor wouldn't have many under his command.

After all, they are all cultivators, and most people with that kind of mentality will not be able to reach the Immortal Platform.

Sha Xiao changed the subject, looking at Weiwei and Li Xianyun who had finished up and entered, and asked, "Since Sect Leader Li has taken the initiative to clean up the mess, let's let this matter rest. But remember, I don't want it to happen again."

Li Xianyun immediately stopped and nodded respectfully in agreement, but inwardly he breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that this matter was over and done with, and he had truly been counted as one of Sha Xiao's own people.

The thought that sacrificing a few distant relatives could sever the chains of hatred, and that he wouldn't have to worry about Jiang Tingting turning against him and Weiwei after she grew up, even made him want to drink wine and sing to the moon.

"Tell me, what information did you find out from the Misty Cloud Cave?"

Sha Xiao nodded, gesturing for Headmaster Li and Weiwei to sit down, and then asked Headmaster Li a question.

Of everyone present, besides himself, Li Xianyun was the most experienced and the most cunning, making him the most suitable for doing these dirty tricks.

Li Xianyun straightened his posture, disregarding his own cultivation level, and replied respectfully as a servant: "The situation is not optimistic. I learned from the secret agents of Yanxia Cave Heaven that, for some reason, news about you has been spread everywhere."

"The Emperor's Weapon, the Emperor's Heart, the Demon Emperor's Secret Technique, and the Demon Emperor's Secret Treasure—according to them, they are all on you."

"The entire Yan Kingdom is bustling with activity right now. Every day, at least a thousand rogue cultivators openly enter for you, and countless more secretly."

"According to what's circulating in the market, you are a means left behind by the Demon Emperor to overthrow the human race."

"For the sake of humanity, they have called upon nearby cultivators to participate in the search for you."

"Everyone who participates will be given elixirs and resources on a daily basis, in considerable quantities."

Pang Bo couldn't help but spit out, "Disgusting! Don't these old fogies need to even think before they start distorting the truth?"

Li Xianyun chuckled and nodded, saying, "Indeed, it's not necessary. Everyone knows perfectly well that we're here for the resources His Majesty the Demon Emperor has prepared for the Holy Son; we just need this pretext."

"Seriously! It's the same everywhere..."

'

Ye Fan covered his head and shook his head.

"Go on, how are the people who came with us?"

Sha Xiao placed her right hand on Tingting's back and asked in a low voice.

Li Xianyun was slightly taken aback, then continued, "A few days ago, it seems that the sect leader of Yanxia Cave Heaven had already led them to the temporary residences of several holy lands outside the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land."

"It is said that Yao Guang, the Ji family, the Great Xia Dynasty, and the Jiang family have reached an agreement to jointly attack the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and trace your origins back to the source."

"They have even gone to great lengths to set up a temporary domain gate, and the spatial fluctuations have never stopped."

"The Lingxu Cave Heaven has been completely destroyed, and the Yaoguang Holy Land camp is temporarily set up on the ruins of Qingmao Mountain."

Sha Xiao's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she sneered inwardly, "Heh, they've taken the bait."

He raised his hand, and Li Xianyun immediately stopped talking.

Sha Xiao looked at Ye Fan and the others and said, "The situation is quite clear now; they're setting up a trap for me. What are your opinions?"

Pang Bo blurted out instinctively, "Of course we have to save them! We can't just leave them like that."

'

As he spoke, his voice grew softer, his face darkened, and his expression became conflicted.

"Zhou Yi, what's your opinion?"

Hearing Sha Xiao call his name, Zhou Yi looked up in surprise.

After thinking for a while, he took out the Bagua Gu and shook it.

Before long, a jumble of scrambled hexagrams appeared behind the Bagua Gu, which had been shaking so much that it made the person dizzy.

After looking at the hexagrams on the Bagua Gu, Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "It's too dangerous; there are dead ends in all directions."

Sha Xiao sneered and said, "As expected, Yao Guang's imperial weapon is definitely still there. Moreover, the astrologers are certainly doing their best to calculate our location."

"If Duan De hadn't been helping us carry the load, they would have figured out our exact location long ago."

"Even so, as long as Wang Ziwen and the others are still in the hands of those holy lands, even if we leave in our imperial weapons, we will still be caught up."

"The hunt will never end unless we all die."
