Chapter 74: 74: The Pinnacle of the Demon Realm (9)



However, when Chuzheng appeared, he would slightly soften that kind of gaze.

Chuzheng felt that he had already turned dark, should she still stop him? Maybe it would be better to finish him off.

The King’s Account roared to stop her.

The King’s Account was very weary; it was trying to prevent two people from turning to the dark side!!

Chuzheng also had no clue about the Soul-Extinguishing Nail in Li Tang’s body.

He himself wouldn’t speak of it, probably convinced that the Soul-Extinguishing Nail couldn’t be removed. Talking about it would be useless and would only tear open old wounds for all to see, preserving that last bit of his dignity.

After many days, Li Tang was able to walk on the ground.

He walked to the door, preparing to go out for a breath of fresh air, but when he pulled on the door, it didn’t move.

Li Tang: “…”

Li Tang pulled harder, but the door didn’t budge.

He turned and walked to the window. The window was open, and the sound of the wind blew in through it, passing over his face.

However, as his hand reached out, he felt a burning sensation.

The entire room was enclosed with some kind of barrier.

Li Tang withdrew his hand and quietly sat back down on the bed—she had trapped herself in here.

In those days when he couldn’t get out of bed, he hadn’t taken notice, and with the shop assistant’s normal comings and goings, he didn’t think about it…

Li Tang’s hand clenched the edge of the bed slightly.

Now that he had come out, he could not die!

He had to become stronger!

No one would be able to bully him again.

Li Tang raised his hand to cover his shoulder, but what about the Soul-Extinguishing Nail inside his body? Without removing it, he wouldn’t be able to cultivate… neither spiritual cultivation nor demonic cultivation was possible.

Crack—

There was a noise at the door, Li Tang released his hand and lay back down on the bed.

Chuzheng entered from outside, carrying a bag of snacks, took Li Tang’s hand, and placed it in his palm, “You can walk now, right? Pack up, we’re leaving the city today.”

The question at the beginning was not meant as an inquiry at all.

She had everything arranged, it was merely a symbolic notification to him.

The palm of Li Tang’s hand was burning hot, the pastries wrapped in oilpaper radiating a fresh fragrance.

These days when she came back, she would occasionally bring such pastries.

Sometimes for her, sometimes just left there, completely baffling as to what she was thinking.

Or perhaps, ever since he met this woman, he had no idea what she really wanted to do.

“Leaving the city?” Li Tang sat up, “For what?”

Chuzheng walked to a cabinet beside him, her back to him, and said calmly, “Someone knows how to remove the Devil-Vanquishing Nail, I’m taking you to find him.”

Li Tang was stunned; since the day she had asked and he hadn’t answered, she never asked again, as if she had forgotten about the Soul-Extinguishing Nail entirely.

His throat was somewhat dry, “You…”

Chuzheng waited a few seconds for him, seeing that he said nothing, she said indifferently, “Pack up, I’m waiting for you downstairs.”

Li Tang watched her leave the room. Should he go with her?

He tried walking to the door and found that it could be opened—she had removed the barrier.

Now if he ran…

Li Tang stepped out of his room, below was a bustling street. Once he entered the crowd, it would be difficult for her to catch him.

After settling the bill with the shopkeeper, Chuzheng left the inn and stood in front of a carriage.

The carriage driver smiled obligingly at her, and Chuzheng placed a bag full of Spirit Stones into his hand, making him grin from ear to ear.

This guest was incredibly generous; he couldn’t earn this much in a year.

“Miss, we’ve been waiting for almost half an hour,” the driver reminded Chuzheng.

Chuzheng sat in front of the carriage, her legs dangling, swinging lightly. Upon hearing the driver’s voice, she paused and looked back at the inn.

“`

Just as I was wondering whether that weakling had run off, suddenly I saw the young man emerge from the inn.

The young man had a stern face as he walked towards Chuzheng, silently locking eyes with her for a moment.

Chuzheng boarded the carriage first. After hesitating, the young man also got on, sitting in a corner.

The coachman immediately started leading the horses out of the city.

“Look quickly, those are cultivators from the Ziyun Sect!”

“Is the Ziyun Sect recruiting this year?”

“Of course, they recruit every three years. I’ve been preparing for this for a long time. If I can get into the Ziyun Sect and become a real cultivator, life will be so much better!”

“Let’s go, let’s go, they’re heading to the Song Family. Let’s go have a look.”

Chuzheng lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked up into the sky.

A massive roc soared overhead, with several individuals in white robes standing atop it, resembling immortals descending upon the earth, while the common folk below cheered and followed the roc.

The Ziyun Sect…

Lin Chen’s sect.

I wonder if Lin Chen is dead… He probably isn’t, otherwise, I would have certainly reversed time by now.

While all the townspeople were heading towards the Song Family, one carriage leisurely made its way out of the city in the opposite direction, gradually disappearing into the distance.

Baiying Valley.

“Miss, please return. Our Valley Master’s quota for patient consultations this year has already been used up.”

The child bowed respectfully.

Chuzheng calmly pulled out a pouch of Spirit Stones.

“Miss, the Valley Master truly won’t be treating any more patients this year. Please come early next year.” The child remained unmoved.

Another pouch was produced.

“Miss, the Valley Master really won’t see you,” the child said helplessly, shaking his head.

Chuzheng, with an expressionless face, spilled out a pile of Spirit Stones, almost as tall as the child. Chuzheng kicked it over, and the Spirit Stones clattered down, burying the child’s legs.

“…” The child swallowed hard: “Please wait a moment, I will go and report again.”

Li Tang, standing beside Chuzheng: “…”

Along this journey, he had seen how she spent Spirit Stones. Others wished they could split a single stone to spend it, while she wished she could spend several stones as one.

It took a while for the child to return, making a gesture of invitation: “Miss, sir, this way please.”

Chuzheng tossed out a few more Spirit Stones. The corner of the child’s mouth twitched slightly, and he summoned several other children to carry the Spirit Stones away.

It was said in Baiying Valley that the Valley Master’s medical skills were exceptional, but the Valley Master only treated twelve patients each year.

One per month.

Once the twelve slots were filled, no other patients were accepted.

Li Tang didn’t believe that this person could remove the Soul-Extinguishing Nail inside his body. He had followed Chuzheng all this way, and every time she said that someone could do it.

But every time they approached someone, either they were incapable, or they had never heard of it.

Yet every time, she seriously said, next time it would definitely be possible.

Li Tang also felt like he was going mad for not fleeing and wasting time here with her. How many times had she mentioned ‘next time’?

Baiying Valley was filled with various medicinal herbs, and the entire valley was imbued with the scent of medicine.

The child led them through the winding paths, and as they entered a bamboo forest, he turned back and instructed, “Please follow me closely.”

The child moved through the bamboo with a particular stride. When Chuzheng entered, she felt discomfort, her body swaying slightly, but Li Tang, who was behind her, supported her.

Li Tang helped her keep up with the child, and after they exited the bamboo forest, he let go of her.

Chuzheng looked back at the bamboo forest thoughtfully. Was it rejecting the power inside her, because she belonged to the Demon Clan?

But why was Li Tang unaffected?

He was also half of the Demon Clan; why the discrimination? Idiotic!

“Xiao Zhu, you may leave now.”

The child had just brought them to the entrance when an ancient voice sounded from within.

The child bowed to Chuzheng and Li Tang and left.

Chuzheng, unphased, walked in without changing her expression, with Li Tang following suit.
