Chapter 307: The Beasts Emerge From the Pass!
“If it’s really like this, it’s either life or death anyway. It’s better to give it a try!”
Finally, Elder Xiong Liu, Elder Hu Bu, and Elder Shangguan Xu all nodded. They understood that, at present, apart from heading to Cang Lan City, there was no other path for them to take.
“Elders, please hurry and get ready. The sooner, the better.”
Seeing the three elders nod in agreement, Su Yi let out a silent sigh of relief. He urged everyone to hasten their preparations and finish packing quickly.
Yet, deep inside, the string in Su Yi’s heart tightened even more.
The future of the entire Divine Demonic Sect rested in his hands at this moment. If he made the wrong decision, it could mean the end of the sect.
After a while, beyond the canyon, only Su Tian Que and Su Yi remained.
“Do you believe that Chi Qin?” Su Tian Que asked Su Yi on their way back.
“Half and half. That Demon Emperor must have other plans in mind, most likely involving the Divine Demonic Sect.”
Su Yi shook his head. At best, he could only partially trust Chi Qin’s words, but he also knew Chi Qin didn’t completely believe his own claims either.
Su Tian Que looked at Su Yi with interest, as if eager to understand everything. “You’re aware of that, so why are you still heading to Cang Lan City?”
“If we had turned back just then, Chi Qin would have become suspicious and assumed the Divine Demonic Sect was truly hiding something. That would have been incredibly dangerous.”
Su Yi glanced at Su Tian Que. If they had chosen to leave Cang Lan City, Chi Qin would certainly suspect him of concealing something valuable. The consequences would have been disastrous. Even though he had saved Chi Zu, such a favor would pale in comparison to the lure of an invaluable treasure.
Su Tian Que chuckled, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Do you really think Chi Qin won’t be suspicious now?”
“Of course, he’s suspicious—very suspicious.”
Su Yi smiled faintly, his gaze filled with confidence. “But if we actually go to Cang Lan City, we’ll be relatively safe. Once everyone is there, Chi Qin won’t act rashly. He’ll feel that everything is under his control and will take his time, secretly observing us. As long as the Divine Demonic Sect remains in Cang Lan City, we’ll be safe—at least for a while.”
As he finished speaking, a slight smile curved the corners of Su Yi’s mouth.
“Haha, I get it now!”
Su Tian Que’s initially stunned expression turned into one of amusement. “You’re killing two birds with one stone! By leveraging their power, as long as the Divine Demonic Sect is in Cang Lan City, Chi Qin will believe that if the sect possesses any treasure, it will eventually fall into his hands. So, until then, he’ll actually protect the Divine Demonic Sect.”
“Exactly.”
Su Yi nodded, a knowing smile on his face. By offering Chi Qin a bottle of Spiritual Essence, Su Yi had led him to believe the Divine Demonic Sect truly held something of value.
The recent intense battles among these powerful beings had likely made Chi Qin hesitant to act hastily. Forcing his way in might lead to unintended consequences. However, as long as the Divine Demonic Sect was in Cang Lan City, Chi Qin would remain patient, waiting for the perfect opportunity.
“That means the Divine Demonic Sect will be safe for a short time. But if too much time passes and Chi Qin realizes he’s gaining nothing, he might make a move,” Su Tian Que remarked, his tone shifting to concern.
“Time—that’s what we need right now!”
The smile on Su Yi’s face gradually faded, replaced by a resolute expression. Time was crucial, but he also knew that if he could quickly grow strong enough to make even Chi Qin hesitate, the situation could be resolved.
If no progress was made by then, true danger would arise.
Time was his most urgent need. Though it made him anxious, it also gave him hope. With the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique, the mysterious space, and the Divine Demonic Sect’s Ancient Verse, Su Yi believed that if he had enough time, he could rise to become a powerful figure.
“I will also recover as soon as possible. When that happens, even a so-called Little Demon Emperor will be nothing to me!”
As if sensing Su Yi’s thoughts, Su Tian Que stared at him with a domineering look. “Find me some spiritual medicine or something. Once I take it, I can recover even faster…”
“Ah! Su Yi, how dare you kick me!”
Su Tian Que’s voice had not even finished when a miserable scream suddenly echoed, and his body soared through the air like a parabola, crashing down who knows how far away.
…
Later, inside the cave, Su Yi summoned the mysterious space once again.
“A piece of good news and a piece of bad news.”
Inside the mysterious space, Su Yi addressed the crowd of demon beasts, informing them about the complex situation outside.
Su Yi was about to head to Cang Lan City, and he estimated he would stay there for a while. The Fiery Red Demonic Mink and the others had already been in the mysterious space for quite some time, but they couldn’t remain there indefinitely.
Cang Lan City was located within the Demon Woods—a paradise for demon beasts and the best place for honing one’s skills. Su Yi hoped that the Golden Python, the White Jade Swallow Bird, and the others could take this opportunity to grow stronger.
In a short time, Su Yi aimed not only to enhance his own strength but also to bolster the power of those around him.
He was fully aware that the Gold King Cobra, the White Jade Swallow Bird, and the Fiery Red Demonic Mink were, by bloodline, originally ordinary demon beasts. However, through mutation, they now had the potential to rise and become powerful members of the demon clan.
“We will always follow you, Master!”
The Golden Python, Fiery Red Demonic Mink, and the others spoke with fervent determination, their voices booming like thunder.
“Finally, we can go out!”
Da Bao and Xiao Ling were overjoyed. After being confined in the mysterious space for so long, the thought of finally stepping outside thrilled them.
…
In the blink of an eye, Su Yi appeared at the back mountain with about ten demon beasts in tow. The disciples of the Divine Demonic Sect were stunned. No one knew where or when Su Yi had tamed these demon beasts. On the journey so far, no one had noticed any signs of him conquering them.
“I’ll explain everything later. Are you all ready to head to Cang Lan City?” Su Yi asked the group, having already anticipated their surprise.
“There isn’t much to pack, but some physical items can’t be taken with us,” Elder Hu Bu said.
“We haven’t been here long, so we don’t have many belongings. Most of our cultivation resources are stored in the space bags of the three elders.”
The space bags had limited capacity, so some items had already been left behind, but there wasn’t much left to take now.
“Let’s head to Cang Lan City first!”
Su Yi nodded. Food would no longer be an issue once they arrived in Cang Lan City. Though they wouldn’t be able to hunt demon beasts anymore, they certainly wouldn’t starve.
Later, the Black Flying Lizard had organized a group of powerful demon beasts waiting outside the canyon to carry the Divine Demonic Sect disciples to Cang Lan City.
