Chapter 305: Gambling!
As soon as the voice fell, Su Yi reached into his pocket and took out a jade bottle, handing it to Chi Qin.
Chi Qin was astonished and hesitated for a moment. He raised his hand, and a ray of red light shone from his palm. An invisible force enveloped the jade bottle in Su Yi’s hand and lifted it into his own.
Chi Qin’s gaze was fixed on the jade bottle in his hand. There seemed to be something stirring in his eyes as he removed the bottle stopper.
“Farewell,” Su Yi said, turning around and gesturing for Su Tian Que to leave with him. In his expression and gaze, he was quietly waiting, though a trace of anxiety flashed by, barely perceptible.
“Wait!”
Suddenly, Chi Qin’s voice cut through the air, carrying a distinct wave.
At this, Su Yi subtly shifted his gaze and turned around. It was clear that Chi Qin was making a great effort to maintain his composure.
“Friend, where did this come from?”
Su Yi calmly replied, “I obtained it inadvertently, and it is the most precious thing I have. Thank you, Demon Emperor, for your honesty today. This is all I possess.”
At this moment, Su Yi’s heart was far from calm. The bottle contained not just any object, but the mysterious Spiritual Essence from the enigmatic space.
When Su Yi left the mysterious space, he had brought along several medicinal pills just in case, and he also carried the mysterious Spiritual Essence, prepared for any emergency.
The Demon Emperor’s power was immense, and Su Yi was well aware of it. However, the effect of the Spiritual Essence was even more profound, especially when it came to the demon clan. Everything within the mysterious space had a significant impact on them.
Su Yi understood the danger of this gamble, but for the sake of the Divine Demonic Sect, he had to take the risk. If this bottle of Spiritual Essence could convince the Demon Emperor, perhaps the disciples of the Divine Demonic Sect would be spared.
This was a gamble, with Su Yi betting on himself, wagering the reliability of the Demon Emperor Chi Qin and his own luck.
Chi Qin held the jade bottle in his hands, staring at Su Yi. His gaze shifted, and after a few seconds, a smile appeared on his face as he said, “May I know your name?”
“My name is Su Yi,” Su Yi replied.
“Su Yi,” Chi Qin repeated, smiling as he placed the jade bottle against his chest. “Twenty years isn’t long, but it’s not short either. I will protect the humans of the Divine Demonic Sect for twenty years. But remember, if you haven’t kept your promise after that, I will no longer protect them.”
“So, you’ve agreed?” Su Yi asked, his eyes filled with joy.
“I will bring the remaining members of your Divine Demonic Sect here, and we will make arrangements accordingly,” Chi Qin nodded.
“Thank you, Demon Emperor.” Su Yi was deeply moved, and his happiness was evident on his face.
“No need to thank me, and no need to hide anything. Although your Spiritual Essence is not a great treasure, I can feel its potential value to the demon clan. I will, of course, repay you for taking advantage of you.”
Chi Qin was candid, not hiding anything. He could clearly sense the power of the Spiritual Essence in the jade bottle, realizing it would be highly beneficial to the demon clan and have some effect on him personally. He then looked at Su Yi and continued, “But remember what you promised me. Twenty years. I hope that the risk I take today will be worthwhile.”
Su Yi nodded. The twenty-year wager was not only with Chi Qin but also with himself. In this desperate situation, Cang Lan City truly seemed like the best place to hide for the Divine Demonic Sect’s disciples—sometimes, the more dangerous a place, the safer it became.
Chi Qin had promised to protect the Divine Demonic Sect’s disciples for twenty years, and Su Yi trusted Chi Qin’s straightforwardness. He hoped that his gamble would prove to be the right one.
Chi Qin said, “You don’t need to go back; I’ll arrange for members of your Divine Demonic Sect to be brought to Cang Lan City.”
Su Yi gave a wry smile and told Chi Qin that he needed to go back to inform them; otherwise, the three elders wouldn’t believe him.
Upon hearing this, Chi Qin silently consented, his eyes briefly flickering with a glimmer of light that disappeared without a trace.
Subsequently, at Chi Qin’s arrangement, Su Yi, Su Tian Que, and the Black Flying Lizard set out to return.
On the way, the Black Flying Lizard, surprised, was very polite to Su Yi. The Demon Emperor had ordered it to take the humans to Cang Lan City. Although it had many doubts in its mind, it didn’t ask too many questions.
Actually, Su Tian Que was quite surprised along the way, as though wanting to ask Su Yi something, but with the Black Flying Lizard present, he refrained from asking much.
Cang Lan City, Grand Audience Hall.
As Su Yi and Su Tian Que departed, Chi Qin once again clasped the jade bottle Su Yi had given him, a radiant light flickering in his eyes.
“Big brother, he’s just a human kid. You don’t really believe his words, do you? Will you really protect these humans?” A tall, slim figure appeared quietly. It was an old man in his sixties, dressed in a yellow robe, with bright eyes. He appeared older than Chi Qin but referred to him as “big brother.”
“He’s not an ordinary human. If what Chi Zu said is true, Su Yi is more mysterious than we thought.” Chi Qin smiled faintly and looked at the old man in the yellow robe. “He’s the new Sect Leader of the Divine Demonic Sect. I didn’t expect the Divine Demonic Sect to still exist. It was so powerful in the past!”
“If that kid really is the new Sect Leader of the Divine Demonic Sect, why wouldn’t he have something left behind by the sect? Wouldn’t it be better for us to just kill these humans and take advantage of them?” The old man in the yellow robe spoke up, puzzled.
“The boy said there’s not much benefit from the Divine Demonic Sect,” Chi Qin smiled in response.
“Impossible! Humans are always cunning. If the Divine Demonic Sect had nothing left, why would so many powerful people have been searching for it for thousands of years?” The old man in the yellow robe disbelieved this. He was convinced that the Divine Demonic Sect must have left something behind. Humans could never be trusted—he believed the kid was lying.
Chi Qin gazed at the jade bottle in his hand with a meaningful look and said, “If it had been so easy to obtain something left by the Divine Demonic Sect, it would have been taken long ago. Whether the Divine Demonic Sect left something behind or not doesn’t matter. What surprises me is Su Yi.”
The old man in the yellow robe asked, “Big brother, have you noticed something?”
“His cultivation base is only in the Yuan Spirit Realm, but his aura is very strange. His courage and demeanor are unparalleled among humans,” Chi Qin seemed to be deep in thought. He then added, “Also, even I can’t figure out the origin of that chicken. It’s strange… very strange…”
“Big Brother, if others find out we have someone from the Divine Demonic Sect, it could cause endless trouble later.”
The yellow-robed elder expressed his concern to Chi Qin. He was very worried, as many powerful demonic forces were currently searching for any survivors of the Divine Demonic Sect. Someone had seen with their own eyes that survivors of the Divine Demonic Sect had escaped and were now being hunted down.
Chi Qin looked at the old man in the yellow robe and said, “I have this matter under control.”
