Chapter 112 - 20: Where Did the Silver-Haired Woman Come From?
Tianmu Mountain.
The dense green forest reaches high, no one knows how many dangers are hidden within the mountain.
In the sky, a dark meteor suddenly streaks across, moving at an extremely fast speed. However, it’s clear the meteor is starting to descend.
The figure gradually becomes clear, surprisingly, it’s a silver-haired woman.
“Where is this place?”
Yin Nanyu in mid-air looks at the majestic mountain range before her eyes, feeling a bit confused.
Suddenly everything in front of her turns black, her head is buzzing, she feels weak and shaky, she can’t even maintain her flight. She has expended too much qi, her body is severely overdrawn, and she has traveled a long distance. Now her True Vigor is depleted.
Her body falls straight down with a “swish”.
“Plop! ”
She unexpectedly lands in a small stream near the mountains, causing a few splashes.
Deep within Tianmu Mountain, there are three demons and one person. The Wild Boar King, Zhao Huai, Black Bear Commander, and a red-haired pig demon.
The Black Bear Commander comes before Zhao Huai with a smile on his face and a red -haired pig demon in tow, and he chuckles:
“This guy, I’ll leave him up to Pig Commander to deal with.”
After witnessing the strength of Boar Zhu Ganglie, he knows not to cross the Pig Commander, instead, he should make friends with him.
With that, this pig demon has a grudge with Boar Zhu Ganglie’s cousin, so why not just give it to him as a token of goodwill? In this way, he could address a hidden danger on his side, achieving two things at once. But the red-haired pig demon standing in place is dumbfounded.
When did Zhu Ganglie become a commander?
That’s too fast!
The news he’d just gotten was that the crocodile commander was dead, and the next commander is this Boar Zhu Ganglie!
Just now he was still wondering what the black bear commander wanted with him, now seeing Zhu Ganglie’s people, he came to realize the situation.
The Black Bear Commander is trying to use him as a gift!
“Won’t this pose a problem to Bear Commander, after all, this is your subordinate,” Zhao Huai put forward his concern.
“Certainly not.” The Black Bear Commander laughed and waved his hand, indicating that it was no problem.
He could gain the friendship of Zhu Ganglie by only sacrificing a minor demon, there was no loss. It was a profitable trade.
“All right then.”
Zhao Huai had to be reluctantly accepting, for now.
In his heart, Zhao Huai was laughing inside.
How could he refuse this free experience?
This position of the Punishment Commander suits him perfectly!
Aside from being able to use private punishments, he was also in control of the dungeon of the Blackwind Cave. Any disobedient or unruly demons were all imprisoned.
The discipline of the dungeon was his responsibility, as were the punishments. In other words, he was the executioner.
As for slaying demons, that was his forte.
This wasn’t some kind of demon cave, it was his leveling dungeon!
He had just broken through to the fourth level of the Initiation Stage and unlocked Innate Fire, he was worried that he wouldn’t have people to experiment on with the fire.
The Innate Fire, also known as the Intrinsic Fire of Taoism, is a basic ability that can only be mastered by powerful cultivators. As the strength of the cultivator grows, the fire will gradually evolve and can be used in various ways, such as refining qi and refining pills.
“I’ll leave this to you, I’ll take my leave first.”
After handing over the person, the Black Bear Commander soon left.
Only the frightened red-haired pig demon was left behind. Seeing Zhao Huai’s piercing and unresolved eyes, he broke out in a cold sweat and stammered:
“Commander Pig, before…before, I failed to recognize a good man!”
“Please spare me!”
He then knelt down and kept kowtowing, only praying for mercy.
“Hmph! Even you have your day. When you captured us, I didn’t see you being like this, I once trusted you, you really are an ingrate!” The Wild Boar King said in a cow voice.
The red-haired pig demon pleaded again:
“Pig Laojiu, I was wrong before! I shouldn’t have betrayed you!”
“Speak good words for me, ask your cousin to spare me. We are all of the same race, why must we fight against each other!”
Hearing this, Zhao Huai remains unmoved, his gaze is indifferent, and he indifferently said:
“Don’t worry, there won’t be any pain.”
After he said this, the face of the red-haired pig demon turned ashen, he knelt on the ground, his gaze was empty.
Zhao Huai’s large hand directly presses on his shoulder.
The next moment, intense True Vigor surges into the red-haired pig demon’s body, grinding everything within him. Within a moment, the pig demon’s body collapses.
Zhao Huai felt that his power had only increased a bit.
Very weak, even less than one-tenth of what he had before.
This pig demon was too weak. He needed to kill more formidable demons for the amount of True Vigor to increase. At the same time, there was the factor of realm improvement. The higher the realm, the more demons need to be killed.
Zhao Huai couldn’t help but wonder, if he slayed the Demon King behind the Blackwind Cave.
How much would his cultivation improve?
Just thinking about it makes him eagerly anticipate it. Ever since he got the [Slaying Demon] destiny, it feels like the Golden Core Stage is increasingly within reach.As long as you break through to the Golden Core Stage, your lifespan will double again, allowing you to live at least five hundred years.
By that time, ten years would seem as fleeting as a blink of an eye. Later, Zhao Huai led the Wild Boar King to the outskirts of Blackwind Cave.
“Cousin, where are we going?” The Wild Boar King asked, puzzled. “To take a bath.”
Zhao Huai replied indifferently.
Having spent a day here and a long time with those demons had honestly been quite hard to endure.
The demons hardly ever bathed and they all stank, with some carrying a heavy stench of blood, almost unbearable.
He was temporarily leaving also with another purpose in mind, that was to let the Madam know he was safe.
When he had left before, although he had informed her, it was still too hasty.
Zhao Huai arrived at an open area and waited patiently.
In the distant sky, a myna bird fluttered down, landing on Zhao Huai’s shoulder, and spoke in human language: “Husband, when will you come back.”
“Soon. ”
Zhao Huai nestled a rolled-up note into the myna’s beak, murmuring softly.
The note contained words of reassurance and explanations, letting the myna act as a carrier pigeon to deliver a message.
At the sound of Zhao Huai’s voice, the myna flew away straight away. The Wild Boar King watched the myna silently, not daring to speak, until it
flew away, then he slowly said:
“Cousin, that myna bird of yours seems to be a demon.”
This call of “cousin” showed that he had completely adapted. After all, which demon wouldn’t want such a powerful cousin?
Zhao Huai pondered, “Could it be that this myna can transform?”
“Perhaps. I envy whatever it has inside it, it must have eaten some heavenly treasure.”
The Wild Boar King explained, “Like us, besides cultivating with time, the faster way is to consume Spiritual Objects bestowed from the heavens. It will definitely advance our cultivation tremendously.”
Zhao Huai nodded as he walked, soon arriving at the river, intending to freshen up there.
The river flew around the mountain range, with many small tributaries nourishing the entire Tianmu Mountain.
However, as Zhao Huai approached, he noticed something wasn’t right.
Seemed like there was someone by the river?
Zhao Huai got closer for a look, while the Wild Boar King stayed nearby as a lookout.
To his surprise, it was a woman, who looked no older than twenty.
She had fair skin, a slightly pale face, her beautiful eyes tightly shut, appearing unconscious.
Intriguingly, she had silver white hair, soaking wet, immersed in the stream.
The woman’s black robe was torn, revealing large areas of her snow-white thighs, jade arms, and waist.
She seemed to have been washed up here by the river.
Zhao Huai assessed in his heart.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but wonder, where did this woman come from?
Her hair color was not quite right. Could she be a demon?
Zhao Huai immediately used his Demon-Viewing Eye to scan the woman, but didn’t detect any black smoke.
She was just a human woman.
He picked up her jade wrist and saw a scabbed over bloody mark on it
He probed the woman’s body with True Vigor, and made another discovery.
The woman was actually also a cultivator, but her internal True Vigor was exhausted.
Seeing this, Zhao Huai had an idea.
She must have been pursued here, and seemed quite pitiful.
If he left her here, she would most likely be eaten by the demons here, right?
Why not bring her back to Blackwind Cave? As long as he was there, those demons wouldn’t dare to act out of line.
Thinking so, Zhao Huai scooped up the silver-haired woman, placing her over his shoulder, and headed to the dense forest.
“Cousin, what are you…”
The Wild Boar King looked at the person on Zhao Huai’s shoulder, slightly taken aback.
Where did he abduct a person from, in just a short while?
“Let’s go.”
Zhao Huai didn’t waste words and just said directly.
The Wild Boar King had no choice but to follow obediently behind him.
