Chapter 190 : Sending Him a Grand Gift
A semi-transparent little chubby figure flew out of the pagoda, its small round hands on its non-existent waist, huffing angrily, "We just agreed inside the pagoda that after helping you once, you'd set me free!"
"I am a dignified ancient divine artifact. How could I submit to a mere Nascent Soul cultivator? If other ancient divine artifacts knew about this, I'd be laughed to death!"
"Wow, so there's a hierarchy even among ancient divine artifacts?" Tantai Ming poked the little chubby figure, grinning, "How about this? Can you ancient divine artifacts sense each other's locations and find each other? If you help us find other divine artifacts, we'll let you go."
Chu Sang looked at him with surprise: Not bad, Seventh Senior Brother. Though you usually seem slow-witted, you can be quite insightful!
This train of thought was eye-opening. She hadn't even thought of it.
"You......"
The Demon-Locking Pagoda was shocked, shocked by their shamelessness. Its little milky voice trembled, "Can't you people have any shame!"
Fearing that Tantai Ming might naturally blurt out something like "What's shame? Can you eat it?" and anger the newly sentient little pagoda spirit to death, Chu Sang quickly stepped forward to cover his big mouth, smiling slightly, "We human cultivators always keep our word. As long as you help me complete one task, I'll release you and let you return to freedom."
Although this red-robed female cultivator seemed the least reliable among these human cultivators, she had just made a heaven and earth oath to show her sincerity.
Heaven and earth oaths couldn't be faked. The simple and naive little pagoda spirit didn't question the truthfulness of her words. It nodded haughtily, looking towards the demon dragon thrashing about in the barrier not far away.
This barrier, created by everyone's combined efforts, was almost at its limit. Many cracks had appeared, and it would last at most half an incense stick's time before the demon dragon would completely shatter it.
"Do you want me to help suppress this demon dragon?" the Demon-Locking Pagoda spirit asked.
"It's not a dragon, but a flood dragon. A mere little flood dragon doesn't require the famous you to take action."
This compliment was just right. The little pagoda spirit happily raised its chubby double chin again.
Chu Sang returned the Demon-Locking Pagoda to her sea of consciousness, then flew to the barrier. Her fingertip quickly drew a spiritual energy rune, reinforcing the barrier once more to ensure this demon flood dragon couldn't escape within half an hour.
"How do you plan to deal with this demon dragon?"
According to past practice, such demon beasts that wreaked havoc in the cultivation world should naturally be executed immediately upon capture, cutting the grass and eliminating the roots to prevent future troubles.
However, after teaming up with Chu Sang a few times, Shang Ziling felt that when working with this group from Lingqing Sect, it was best not to think about problems using common sense. Seeing that they didn't intend to take action, she also waved to stop the Ten Thousand Swords Sect disciples and looked towards the red-robed young woman to ask.
Chu Sang thought for a moment, then turned to look at Mu Changqing, "Third Senior Brother, you said before that this demon flood dragon has your father emperor's heart blood. Do you still need this heart blood?"
"No need." He shook his head, speaking with displeasure, "That heart blood has been in this flood snake's body for too long. It's long been assimilated and basically can't be extracted anymore. Even if it could be extracted, this essence blood has long been polluted by this flood snake's demonic energy. It's not of much use anymore and is no longer pure. I find it disgusting."
"In that case, let's just kill it," Big Senior Sister said very coldly and mercilessly.
Chu Sang said, "It would be a shame to kill it. Why don't we... send this demon dragon back!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole scene was in an uproar. All the disciples present looked at her in shock. No, had they heard wrong? Wasn't this person quite ruthless just now? How did she suddenly turn into a living Bodhisattva?
"What I mean is, since the Demon Emperor sent us a grand gift, we should naturally return a grand gift," Chu Sang smiled. "This flood dragon doesn't have a good relationship with that Demon Emperor. It was because of a dispute and battle between them that the Demon Emperor specifically released it into the cultivation world to wreak havoc."
"The flood dragon has been beaten badly by us cultivators in the cultivation world. It must have accumulated a lot of resentment and urgently needs to vent its anger... If we release it back now, it won't be our headache anymore, but the Demon Emperor's."
Tantai Ming scratched his head, "But Little Junior Sister, you just said it was beaten badly by us cultivators. How can you be sure that this flood dragon's resentment towards the Demon Emperor is greater than towards us now? What if after being beaten badly, it hates the cultivation world even more? If we release it and it joins forces with the Demon Emperor, wouldn't that be even worse?"
"Then... let's add more fuel to the fire."
