Chapter 191 : Good Cop, Bad Cop
"This flood dragon's fierce attack is truly despicable. Fortunately, our informants in the demon realm promptly relayed the news of the great demon's descent to the Eight Great Immortal Sects. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to arrive so quickly to trap this great demon here and prevent it from further wreaking havoc in the mortal world!"
"Heh, things aren't as simple as you think," the young woman chuckled. "According to the information I received from the sect elders, it was actually the Demon Emperor who specifically sent someone to secretly notify the Eight Great Immortal Sects. He intends to cooperate with the cultivation world to jointly eliminate this flood dragon that has been causing trouble in both realms!"
The young man was stunned. "Aren't the demon realm and the cultivation world always at odds with each other? Now they're actually starting to cooperate?"
"What do you know? People separate because of interests and unite because of interests. For ten thousand years, the relationships between various races have always been based on the situation of the world... Now the demon realm is in chaos, facing both internal and external troubles. The Demon Emperor can barely maintain his own position, how could he have the energy to care about the cultivation world?"
"No wonder."
"Half a month ago, the Demon Emperor found an opportunity to send someone to propose cooperation with the cultivation world. After lengthy discussions through the night, the primary task, naturally, is to first slay a Demon King to boost morale," the young woman snorted with a laugh, her tone revealing a hint of excitement. "You should know that a great Demon King's entire body is a treasure! It's said that this flood dragon even has a drop of heart blood from a legendary true dragon! If one could obtain this drop of heart blood, their cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds!"
"To show his sincerity, the Demon Emperor specially sent the fox clan prince and an envoy to deliver the Demon-Locking Pagoda, seeking to join forces with our cultivation world to take down this flood dragon. How considerate of him!"
The young man in blue robes' eyes lit up as he suddenly realized, "If that's the case, now that the demon dragon has been suppressed and the act is over, there's no need for us to keep hiding anymore. Let's quickly capture this Demon King!"
"You're right, we'll use the flood dragon's head as a trophy to present to His Majesty the Demon Emperor, officially marking the beginning of our cooperation with the demon race!"
"Oh, right, the Demon Emperor also said to make sure we secure the flood dragon's heart blood! He's been coveting this true dragon's heart blood for quite some time, planning for decades just for this moment!"
The young woman in red robes stood in mid-air, her palm radiating with brilliant light.
As the Demon-Locking Pagoda appeared, all demons would submit.
"Roar!"
The moment the Demon-Locking Pagoda appeared, the demon dragon's heart was thrown into chaos. It let out a sky-shaking roar,
"Que Si, you faithless wretch! So all along you've been plotting to obtain my heart blood. I truly misjudged you! If I ever return to the demon realm, I will surely take your head! Flay your skin! Extract your bones! And drink your blood!!!"
It spoke in human language, each word dripping with anguish.
As the flood dragon's force against the barrier grew stronger, seemingly intent on venting all its resentment and anger, it appeared the barrier wouldn't last even another quarter of an hour.
The disciples present quickly distanced themselves from the barrier. Gu Chang'an watched with amusement and speechlessness at his Little Junior Sister and junior brother bantering not far away.
The two continued to provoke the flood dragon's anger towards the Demon Emperor, one sentence at a time, almost infuriating the demon dragon to death... Heh, these two jokers were incredibly in sync, truly of one mind. It was clear this wasn't their first time doing this.
After the flood dragon's hatred had been sufficiently provoked, Chu Sang used a puppet to extricate herself and returned, conspiring with disciples from the other major sects about the next steps.
They still needed to put on another good show, "accidentally" letting the flood dragon escape and successfully return to the demon realm to stir up a bloody storm.
Previously, the Demon Emperor had been able to send the flood dragon from the demon realm to the cultivation world, and the flood dragon had been lingering in this area without moving much. So Chu Sang had a bold guess,
"The portal to the demon realm should be nearby. Let's search together. As long as we reopen the demon race's portal, we can send this flood dragon and other demon beasts back to the demon realm."
The disciples from other sects wasted no time and went to search for the hidden entrance to the demon realm.
Finally, beneath a secluded cliff, they found a deep and dangerous-looking pond.
Strangely, the pond was bubbling with white foam, emitting an extremely mysterious aura.
Xiao Bai sniffed around and said, "There's a very strong demonic aura here!"
Chu Sang said, "It seems the entrance to the demon realm should be right here."
"I have a water spirit root, so I'll be better equipped to handle any dangers down there. Little Junior Sister, let me go," Tang Yanling stepped forward.
"Alright, Second Senior Sister, be careful. If anything happens, just pull on the rope tightly, and I'll pull you up immediately!" Chu Sang tied a golden rope around her waist.
This was a magical tool refined by Fifth Senior Brother using Hong Niang's spider silk mixed with a rare gold-iron essence. It could extend to a great length, was fireproof, and even ordinary sword qi could hardly leave a mark on it, making it extremely durable.
Just as Tang Yanling was about to descend into the water to investigate, a sudden attack came out of nowhere.
