Chapter 213: Everyone Has a "Problem" to Solve
Gu Heng was certain that there had been a sudden and brief gust of wind outside just now.
But it came and went quickly, and he didn't even know what had happened.
"Forget about that, just focus on packing your things."
He shook his head, dismissing his distracting thoughts.
After taking inventory of all the medicinal herbs in the clinic, I also need to go upstairs and put away the bedding and other items in Bai Feier's room, otherwise they will easily collect dust.
Bai Feier has already set off. Given her status, she naturally has a high-class spirit ship from the Bai family to take her to the capital city of Riyan. As for him and Qin Yiyao... they'll have to pay for their own journey and use the monster inn. Although their departures are only half a day apart, the speed is completely different.
If you want to go to the Monster Station, there isn't one in Yunling City yet. You have to go to the capital of Kuyun Prefecture first, where you can find a place to sit.
"Girl, is Fei'er's room ready?"
After Gu Heng finished counting the medicinal herbs, he called out to the upstairs.
"Alright, the blankets are all folded up, and so are the sheets. Anyway, I've done everything you asked me to do, Master."
Upstairs, Qin Yiyao was muttering weakly, seemingly with a hint of resentment.
That's true. Whenever this girl doesn't want to do something, or when Gu Heng usually takes care of the household chores, she'll act like this—lazy and weak. Gu Heng naturally doesn't make too many demands on her. However, the little girl will eventually grow into a grown woman.
She might leave him in the future and have to make a living on her own.
If you don't know anything, people might say you're spoiled. "Okay, remember to tidy up your room tomorrow morning, and then we'll set off."
Gu Heng checked his system inventory, and after confirming that he had brought everything useful, he went back to the back room to cook.
Let's make a big feast tonight.
"...What was going on with those two guys just now?"
In the front yard, Su Jinxi looked up at the gate and tilted her head.
Just now, there were two Mahayana stage auras outside.
One was a human she didn't recognize, but the other was a demon, specifically the aura of the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord, which she was very familiar with.
It's strange, why did those two guys suddenly run away without saying a word?
Su Jinxi most likely knew why the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord had come—it must be because the Myriad Demon Emperor knew she was here and wanted the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord to take her back, by any means necessary. Of course, Su Jinxi wasn't going to leave.
Through her own comprehension and talent, she achieved the final demonic form of the Nine-Lives Demon Cat.
That would probably take several thousand more years.
With Gu Heng by her side, her demonic body would evolve in a few months, or even faster. Her thousands of years of cultivation seemed to have become a dull joke when she was with this man.
Why did she leave?
As for the other Mahayana cultivator... Su Jinxi didn't quite understand why he had come here.
I have a feeling that nothing good is going to happen.
But she didn't need to worry about any of that. With Gu Heng around, she could just be a well-behaved cat who couldn't speak and only understood human speech.
……
The border of the demon realm.
A secluded and elegant valley nestled in the mist. The Cloud Falcon Demon Lord landed deep within the valley, revealing his human form, and leaned against a tree, panting heavily.
He hadn't experienced in a long time the days when he used up almost all his strength just to escape.
The Cloud Falcon Clan values escaping at incredible speed in emergencies, even though it increases their energy expenditure a thousandfold, they always manage to get away.
However, the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord has always considered running away a disgrace.
But if he doesn't say "it smells so good" today, he'd be doing himself a disservice.
"Damn it, we almost fell into a human trap. If Su Jinxi hadn't been found, I would have been in serious trouble too. His Majesty would definitely not have been happy..."
The Cloud Falcon Demon Lord still felt fortunate to have survived a calamity.
If he had run any slower, the Blood Skull Grandmaster, the clinic owner, and their reinforcements lying in ambush nearby would have definitely swarmed him and captured him.
If a demon race at the Mahayana stage were to fall into the hands of the Blood Soul Holy Sect...
Just thinking about the possible fate of being used for all sorts of evil experiments made Yun Jun Demon Lord shudder.
He is not afraid of death.
But the methods of the Blood Soul Holy Sect are far more terrifying than death.
Having confirmed that the Blood Skull Grandmaster wasn't foolish enough to chase him into the Demon Realm, Cloud Falcon Demon Lord breathed a sigh of relief, then rallied his spirits and continued on his journey.
The Blood Soul Holy Sect controlled Su Jinxi's soul and turned her into a puppet!
This matter must be reported to the Demon King!
That Gu Family Medical Clinic is definitely a stronghold of the Blood Soul Holy Sect. The owner of the clinic is probably a powerful figure in the Holy Sect. Such a powerful figure coming to the border of the Demon Realm must be planning something big!
It seems they intend to target the powerful demons among the demon race.
But is this a case of the Blood Soul Holy Sect acting on its own initiative, or are other human forces also involved? No way!
Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor, how can you allow something like this to ruin the overall situation?!
The Cloud Falcon Demon Lord felt that this matter must be resolved properly, as it concerned the dignity and future of the demon race!
……
Blood Skull Grandmaster had no idea how far he had run.
In any case, he had already left the borders of the demon race and the troublesome place of the Sunflame Dynasty.
But he dared not stop, because just now, the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord revealed his demon form and ran in another direction. He was definitely not afraid of him, but was going to find reinforcements to put him to death!
So Blood Skull Venerable ran for his life.
By the time he finally felt safe, he was almost ready to return to the Blood Soul Holy Sect.
"Damn, I almost fell for the demon race's trick and lost my life!"
The Blood Skull Grandmaster cursed as he looked at the darkening night. Luckily, he had escaped quickly; otherwise, he would have been surrounded and killed by the demon race. In that case, their plans would have been impossible to convey.
But Blood Skull Venerable really didn't expect that the demon race could offer such a price that would make humans betray them and join their side.
Or is this just the beginning?
He doesn't understand and doesn't know.
However, in the Cloud Spirit Forest, there are monsters created by the demon race. In the Cloud Spirit City of the Sun Flame Dynasty, there are not only demon race members who have undergone Tribulation and Mahayana stages, but according to Xue Luo's information, there also seem to be human Tribulation experts who have defected to the demon race!
This is no small matter!
This is very likely a sign of a large-scale invasion by the demon race!
Moreover, it's possible that the demon race has already infiltrated the ranks of humanity's top experts!
Otherwise, Blood Skull Venerable truly couldn't understand why the owner of that medical clinic, who was supposed to be at the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending stage and would be at the Great Ascension stage upon further advancement, would choose to become a traitor at such a critical juncture.
Or perhaps he's always been a traitor, only that the demon race either nurtured him or gave him all sorts of unimaginable benefits and advantages...
The more Blood Skull Grandmaster thought about it, the more worried he became.
The demons are up to no good!
He looked in the direction of the Blood Soul Holy Sect, and without resting, immediately set off again.
Their sect's "grand plan" must be put aside for now; the problem of the demon race is what urgently needs to be solved!
