Chapter 208 Everyone Blames Themselves
At this moment, Zhong Hanshang belatedly realized something that left him with mixed feelings.
Ever since he stepped into the dangerous land of the Demon Realm, he has unconsciously become accustomed to following Gao Huohuo's arrangements.
His cultivation level was clearly the highest among everyone, and in past trials, he always played a leading role.
But now, faced with Gao Huohuo's bold and even somewhat risky decisions, he inexplicably chose to cooperate.
Every time, he secretly questioned himself: why did I listen to her?
But the next time, I found myself involuntarily following her train of thought.
Zhong Hanshang bit his lower lip, a stubborn look flashing across his face.
He silently struggled with himself, wondering how he could always go along with her.
He was thinking that he couldn't listen to her this time; he had to find a way to return to the human race.
He was frowning, lost in his own thoughts.
Suddenly, Su Mo raised his hand and gently patted his shoulder, then gestured to the supernatural power in his hand.
Following Su Mo's movements, Zhong Hanshang looked over and saw the message displayed on the divine power strike his heart like a heavy hammer.
The demon race was also sealed off, and Chen Wan'er and the others were also trapped, unable to return to the human race.
Zhong Hanshang's brows furrowed even more, and his fingers unconsciously slid across the supernatural power.
I was just about to ask Gao Huohuo a question, questioning why they didn't do everything they could to find a way back.
However, before he could send a message, Gao Huohuo's new message came into view.
Upon seeing this, his face instantly turned deathly pale. Gao Huohuo was actually planning to split his soul again to create a clone!
Keep in mind that she was only at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
Her soul had already been partially separated, and now it was to be separated again. How could her main body withstand that?
This is simply playing with one's life!
Zhong Hanshang was extremely anxious and, without hesitation, was the first to express his firm disagreement regarding the supernatural powers.
But his objections had no effect on changing her decision.
Chu Lingchuan and the other three initially disagreed with Gao Huohuo's risky move.
But they knew their junior sister's personality too well; Gao Huohuo never did anything without being sure of success.
However, they couldn't help but worry, unsure of what kind of damage this adventure would inflict on Gao Huohuo.
They were filled with self-blame, secretly feeling that their cultivation speed was too slow.
This is why the junior sister had to rush to the front time and time again, bearing such huge risks alone.
Hao and Dong were not in the group chat they were communicating with, but from the solemn expressions of the group members and the occasional snippets of conversation, they could roughly guess the seriousness of the matter.
At this moment, Hao suddenly spoke up: "Lord Huo, I know a treasure hunting place. Shall we go there and take a look?"
Hao's words immediately caught Gao Huohuo's attention, and she asked eagerly, "Where is it?"
Hao quickly replied, "Master Huo, Dong told me. He's taking us there."
Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo quickly glanced at Dong, who had always been relatively low-profile, and then smiled:
"Then I'll trouble you to lead the way. When we find the treasure, you can choose one as well."
So, the group of nine set off in a grand procession toward Tianyou Ridge, which Dong had mentioned.
Upon hearing that it was Tianyou Ridge, Yun's expression changed, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and he glanced at Dong without leaving a trace.
For the demon race, Tianyou Ridge does indeed contain many treasures, but it is also an extremely dangerous place.
Moreover, this place is extremely secluded, and ordinary demons have no way of knowing about it.
As the young master of Xuanyou Palace, Yun had only heard his father mention it by chance.
So, how did Dong know this?
Moreover, judging from Dong's appearance, he is just an ordinary demonic cultivator.
Thinking of this, Yun glanced at Dong again without making a sound, and their eyes met.
Dong noticed Yun's gaze and immediately smiled ingratiatingly.
Yun shook his head inwardly, feeling that this was not something he should worry about; his priority was to return to Xuanyou Palace as soon as possible.
At this moment, Yun was completely unaware that the Nascent Soul cultivator who had been responsible for taking him back was a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
They are currently being punished for failing to complete the task.
Inside the Xuanyou Hall, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
A cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage was kneeling on the ground, his expression terrified, pleading desperately:
"Lord, please give me another chance. I will definitely bring the young master back safely."
The Lord of Xuanyou Palace sat on the high seat, his face so gloomy it seemed to drip water, looking displeased at the people kneeling below.
It was utterly disappointing that a demonic cultivator who was about to break through to the Void Refinement stage couldn't even handle a first-level Nascent Soul cultivator.
If it weren't for the fact that he needed manpower right now, he would have wanted to get rid of this "useless" person on the spot.
After a long silence, the Lord of Xuanyou Palace finally spoke, coldly saying:
"Fine, I'll give you one last chance. If you still can't bring back the young master, then you don't need to come back."
After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling the man to step back.
Then he leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and pondered, secretly planning the various matters to come.
At the same time, Yun, who was traveling towards Tianyou Ridge with Gao Huohuo, suddenly felt the special jade pendant from Xuanyou Palace that he was carrying close to his body vibrate slightly.
He felt a chill run down his spine. Without even thinking, he knew that his father must have sent people out to look for him again.
His brows furrowed instantly, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
The current situation is delicate, and he really doesn't want to see a conflict break out between the two sides.
After all, the strength that Gao Huohuo and others had shown before still made him feel uneasy.
Although her senior brothers and sisters had not yet made a real move, the battle between Gao Huohuo and Zhong Hanshang alone was enough for Yun to imagine a thrilling battle in her mind.
Thinking of this, Yun secretly made up her mind that she had to find a way to leave them no matter what.
Moreover, he absolutely could not set foot in Youling that day.
With his current strength, going in would undoubtedly be suicide.
Although he didn't understand why Dong would recommend that dangerous place, he was certain that this demonic cultivator was no ordinary person.
Soon, the group of nine arrived at a town near Tianyou Ridge.
Gao Huohuo's gaze flashed like lightning as he quickly swept it toward Hao.
Hao understood immediately and took Dong to gather information.
Gao Huohuo turned to look at Yun, his expression calm yet carrying an undeniable air of authority, and said:
“Yun, now that we’re here, there must be people from your Xuanyou Palace nearby.”
Contact them and offer something in exchange for your life; then we can go our separate ways.
After saying that, Gao Huohuo handed over a form.
Yun took the list and quickly scanned it. The list contained items that were scarce among humans but relatively common among demons.
These items were given by Gao Huohuo to his senior brothers for refining pills, crafting weapons, and setting up formations.
Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, the list didn't mention the Qiankun Stone.
That thing is just a legend circulating among the demons; even their Xuanyou Palace doesn't have it, and no one has ever actually seen it.
Without much hesitation, Yun raised her hand and took off her jade pendant.
He handed it to Gao Huohuo, while indicating that she should go to the town to find the people from Xuanyou Palace.
Gao Huohuo took the jade pendant and was about to leave when Mu Hanxing stopped him.
"Junior Sister, I can handle this little thing. You just wait here!"
Mu Hanxing's voice was deep yet firm.
Gao Huohuo was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
