#854 - Chapter 854 Discovery of a flaw
Following that, Yan Pu invited the four of them to a resting palace, which was, as expected, extremely luxurious.
A six-foot-wide bed of aloeswood stood draped with a silk gauze canopy embroidered all over with pearl and silver-threaded crabapple blossoms.
When the wind stirred the gauze, it was like being lost in a sea of clouds and mountains.
Bai just lay down when a charming female voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Immortal Master, I'm here to bother you, may I open the door?"
The voice sounded like the wind gently blowing in one's ear, making one intoxicated.
Bai couldn't help but get up and walk to the door.
Upon opening it, there were indeed two stunningly beautiful women, dressed even more scantily than the dancers, their graceful figures on full display, smiling at Bai.
“This…” Bai was momentarily speechless, wondering what to say.
He couldn't exactly say, "I am the omnipotent Demon Emperor," after all, his current body was just that of a teenager.
This Yan Pu is really wicked, arranging two beautiful women to serve such a young me, what does this mean?
Bai tried his best to put on a confused look.
He thought that Senior Sister Lin Yaoyao was already the ceiling for beautiful women, but after coming to the Demon Clan, he realized that the flowers here were of all kinds, enchanting, aloof, vibrant, and always in bloom.
“The leader has arranged for us to keep Immortal Master company tonight, may we come in?” The lightly dressed woman in front revealed a hint of shyness, like a faint rosy glow in the sky.
“This… no need, please go back, I will speak to Leader Yan Pu if I need anything.”
After speaking, Bai quickly closed the door, afraid that his chastity would not be preserved if he didn't.
A man still needs to be careful outside.
Ye Xiaoyao, on the other hand, wasn't so slick.
A stunning woman approached directly, whispering sweet nothings in his ear, scaring him so stiff that he dared not move.
Bai swept his divine sense over him, realizing that his junior brother Xiaoyao was still lacking, so he decided to help him.
Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, a voice was transmitted.
Just as Ye Xiaoyao was indulging in the woman's charm, Bai's words suddenly rang in his ear: "Junior Brother Xiaoyao, don't forget to return to Xiaoyao Peak!"
Ye Xiaoyao was so startled that he instantly sobered up, pushed away the woman in his arms, closed the door, and never opened it again.
And so, the night passed.
Yan Pu felt that this was exactly what he wanted, as the time for the third batch of people to be handed over to the other world was approaching, and he had to prepare to capture more talents.
Therefore, the four of them walked out of the Demon Clan palace during the day.
Although no Demon Clan people were out and about at this time, it was a good opportunity for them to observe the terrain.
Bai and the others wandered around outside for a long time, and at this moment, they stopped on a mountain peak, looking at the surrounding rolling mountains, lush green trees, and azure sky, instantly feeling much more open-minded.
Suddenly, Ye Qingjun exclaimed, "Is that… is there a black thing over there?"
The others followed the direction of her finger and found that there was indeed something wrapped in black cloth slowly moving in the shade of the trees.
It didn't look like a wild beast, as wild beasts wouldn't be so slow.
“Let's go, we'll know when we go over and take a look,” Bai said, seemingly already anticipating something.
As they got closer, they discovered that it was a Demon Clan person wrapped tightly in black cloth.
“Why are you here?” Bai used his spiritual power to create a cloud above the black cloth, and the person wrapped in black cloth barely revealed two eyes.
“You… have you been sent by the leader to capture me?” The voice was old and weak, sounding like it was about to die.
“No, we are people from the cultivation world, here to investigate some things about the Demon Clan.”
Upon hearing "cultivation world," the old man's voice seemed a little excited, “Im…mortal…world, cultivation world, can…can you help our people?”
The four looked at each other, and Bai said decisively, “Old man, tell us, we can do it!”
“Wuwu…” A sob came from under the black cloth, “Too…too good, I didn't expect to meet adults from the cultivation world when I was about to die.”
Bai injected more spiritual power into the cloud above, making it thicker and wider, so that it could block the old man.
The old man put down the black cloth on his head, revealing his old face.
“Our Demon Clan people are about to be killed by the leader, my two daughters were captured by him, and I don't know where they were imprisoned.”
“Not only my children, but all the young boys and girls in our tribe between the ages of twelve and twenty-five have been abducted.”
“Now only some of the old, weak, sick, and disabled are left, unable to live, everyone is trapped in panic all day long.”
Bai pondered slightly, “Old man, do you know why this leader wants to abduct young men and women?”
The old man shook his head, “I don't know, according to him, he already has three thousand concubines, and he doesn't need so many.”
“However, the rumor circulating in the streets is that the leader has captured our Demon Clan's young children and offered them to other tribes.”
Although the old man was very uncertain, Bai probably understood that this Demon Clan leader's transaction with the other world did exist.
Xiao Qing quickly comforted the old man and sent him down the mountain.
On the way, it was indeed as the old man said, the fields were desolate, a dead place, the villages were dilapidated, and the Demon Clan people were waiting to die everywhere.
“Next, the four of us will divide the work,” Bai said with a firm face, “I will attract Yan Pu's attention, and the three of you will investigate where the captured young people have gone.”
“There is also a question, now that the boundary between the cultivation world and the other world has been repaired, we must figure out how this Yan Pu is transporting people to the other world.”
“Yes,” Xiao Qing and the other two replied with cupped hands.
As the sun was setting, the four returned to the Demon Clan palace with a reluctant look.
Yan Pu still greeted them with a beaming smile, and Bai couldn't help but feel ashamed when he thought of the evil heart beneath his mask.
It is said that the Demon Realm is brutal, and people often call them great devils and demons, but even when forced into a desperate situation, the Demon Clan would not trade the lives of their own people.
Bai spent the whole night with Yan Pu, drinking flower wine, watching beautiful women dance, and complaining about a bunch of embarrassing things in the cultivation world, while Yan Pu could only honestly accompany him.
Xiao Qing, Ye Xiaoyao, and Ye Qingjun took the opportunity to knock out the guards, hide their aura, and mix into the guard team.
“How many people did you catch today?” The two guard leaders in front were whispering to each other.
“Sigh, don't mention it, the young men and women in nearly a hundred villages nearby have almost been captured, now we can only find some small or old ones to make up the numbers.”
At this moment, they were heading towards an underground secret room, the passage downwards extended for a long time, and the lights on both sides were even dimmer.
Finally, after continuing for several minutes, the sounds of wailing and scolding came from the end of the passage.
