Chapter 54 (Part 2)

His eldest senior brother had come to pick him up, which made Yu Yu extremely happy.

Although life in the Demon Palace was very good, and everyone treated him very well, he still missed his master and senior brothers very much. He also missed everything on Holy Sun Peak.

Holy Sun Peak had already become his home in the Holy Feather World.

“That’s good. Master and I were very worried about you. If Senior Demon Lord hadn’t sent demon cultivators to the sect to deliver a message, we still wouldn’t have known where you were transported.”

Martial Uncle Qinghe had been guarding the medical hall the entire time to study the damaged teleportation array. Unfortunately, that teleportation array had become useless after being used once. Martial Uncle Qinghe had never been able to figure out which direction it had transported someone.

“Speaking of the teleportation array, I get especially angry. They wanted to catch me, but they didn’t even know to buy a good one. It was a teleportation array that was nearly scrapped, and the space inside was extremely unstable. The talismanic artifact Master gave me used up all its energy protecting me from being hurt by spatial power. In the end, I was still injured badly by spatial power. Fortunately, before I was sliced into pieces by spatial power, I was sent to the Demon Realm.”

As soon as Yu Yu mentioned the teleportation array that had harmed him so badly he needed to recuperate for a year before recovering, anger rose in him.

“After we return, we’ll catch the people who harmed you and flay them alive.”

When Lingji heard his little junior brother’s words, he hated them so much his teeth itched.

Since their little junior brother had become a disciple, when had he ever suffered this kind of hardship? Not to mention, based on Lingji’s understanding of spatial power, that was something even their master had to handle carefully.

Spatial power was not something cultivators could grasp. It had always been mysterious. Once a teleportation array was broken, the people within space would be cut apart by spatial power and die.

After all, spatial power was far too mysterious. As a Daoist Lord, if one could not find a gap and get out before one’s spiritual energy ran out, one would become lost in a spatial rift and finally die under spatial power.

“Hmph, we absolutely can’t let them off. They’re too wicked.”

Yu Yu lay against his eldest senior brother’s shoulder. Thinking of all the suffering he had endured, Yu Yu could not help but get angry.

“Little Lingyu.”

The Demon Mother walked in slowly from outside. Seeing Yu Yu acting spoiled with his senior brother, she could not help feeling a little envious.

Before them, Yu Yu had always behaved very maturely and had never acted spoiled with them like this.

From this, it could be seen that the people of the Taizhen Immortal Sect were truly good to Yu Yu, and the relationship between these senior and junior brothers was even better.

“Senior.”

Yu Yu jumped out of his senior brother’s arms and looked at the Demon Mother and Demon Lord somewhat embarrassedly.

Because he had not seen his eldest senior brother for too long, he had forgotten that this was not Holy Sun Peak, but the Demon Palace.

“It’s fine. Seeing you like this actually makes us quite relieved.”

Neither the Demon Lord nor the Demon Mother minded being ignored. They understood Yu Yu’s behavior. If they were the ones who found the Demon Mother’s son, they would only be even happier than Yu Yu appeared now.

“Thank you for understanding, Seniors. My little junior brother has troubled you two seniors lately. This is a gift of thanks prepared for the two seniors by the sect, my master, and Lingji.”

Lingji took out a storage ring, though it was the version used by demons.

“The Taizhen Immortal Sect is truly courteous. We did not help Lingyu much either.”

The Demon Lord accepted the storage space and put it away without even looking at it.

He did not refuse because this was a gift of thanks given mainly by the Taizhen Immortal Sect. The Demon Lord could not refuse it.

This was a favor, and also an exchange.

It was a fact that they had saved Yu Yu. Giving a thank-you gift showed that the Taizhen Immortal Sect remembered kindness and understood propriety. This back and forth was also proper.

If he refused, the Taizhen Immortal Sect might instead think the Demon Realm wanted more benefits or wanted to hold something over them. If that caused a misunderstanding, it would not benefit either side’s power.

By accepting the gift, it meant the matter of them saving Yu Yu was considered settled.

Of course, the Taizhen Immortal Sect would not simply use some items to cancel out this life-saving grace. Within the storage space, there was also a token. If the Demon Realm encountered trouble, they could take the token and ask the Taizhen Immortal Sect for help.

That token was more valuable than everything else in the storage space, because it was priceless.

After Yu Yu and Lingji bid farewell to the Demon Lord and Demon Mother and left, the Demon Lord checked the storage space and only then discovered the token inside.

“Little Lingyu, after you become powerful in the future, you must come to the Demon Realm to see me. I’ll give you the Demon-Concealing Jade. When you come back to find me in the future, you’ll be able to use it.”

The Demon Mother hugged Yu Yu and said this with great reluctance.

Lingji also had a spiritual weapon on him that could isolate demonic qi, but it was disposable and would be ruined after one use. It was not as convenient as the Demon-Concealing Jade, which was even permanent.

“Thank you, Senior. As long as you seniors don’t find me annoying, this junior will definitely come in the future. There are still many places in the Demon Realm I haven’t visited! When the time comes, this junior will accompany Senior Demon Mother to stroll around again.”

Yu Yu raised his head and looked at the Demon Mother. Although he had suffered quite a lot on the road while being transported, ever since he was saved by the demon cultivators, he had been living like a little prince.

Why would Yu Yu say this? Because the Daoist robes he had been wearing had been destroyed, and the clothes Yu Yu was wearing now had been prepared by the Demon Lord’s people.

They were all prepared according to the rank of the Demon Lord’s son. If the demon attendants had not told him, Yu Yu would not even have known he was receiving such high treatment. Even when he usually entered and left the Demon Palace, he was treated according to the protocol for a demon prince.

After all, this was the Demon Lord’s residence. Not just anyone could freely enter and leave.

To be honest, when Yu Yu first found out, he was quite surprised, and he also remembered this special treatment in his heart.

“All right. Then I’ll wait for you to come in the Demon Realm.”

Although the Demon Mother was very reluctant to part with him, she still had to let him and Lingji leave.

“Senior Demon Lord, Senior Demon Mother, Lingyu is leaving. Let’s meet again if we have the chance.”

Yu Yu waved and was pulled onto the flying sword by Lingji.

“Goodbye.”

The Demon Lord and Demon Mother waved, watching the adult and child ride the flying sword away.

After they could no longer see their figures, the two exchanged a glance and disappeared from the border of the Demon Realm.

“Eldest Senior Brother, where are we going now?”

Yu Yu hugged his eldest senior brother’s waist. Although he knew his eldest senior brother’s sword flight was very steady, riding someone else’s flying sword always felt less secure than flying on his own sword.

“We are going to the nearest immortal cultivation city. There’s a teleportation array there. We’ll use the teleportation array to return to the Taizhen Immortal Sect’s territory.”

Lingji answered.

“But can I use a teleportation array right now?”

Yu Yu was worried about the residual spatial power in his body. He was afraid it would cause space to become unstable.

“It’s all right. This is a jade pendant Martial Uncle Qinghe gave me. It can temporarily suppress the spatial power in your body.”

Lingji took out a jade pendant and put it on Yu Yu. Every major power had jade pendants that could suppress spatial power like this. It was just that no one usually needed them. This time, Qinghe had also dug it out of the storehouse.

At first, he had not thought much of it and had only prepared an extra safeguard. Lingji also had not expected his little junior brother to truly be able to use it.

Those hateful traitors. It was all because of them that his little junior brother still had to endure the harm of spatial power even now.

Thinking of the scene the Demon Mother had told him about, when his little junior brother was being treated, Lingji’s killing intent nearly could not help spilling out.

“Eldest Senior Brother, I’m fine now.”

Yu Yu sensed the fluctuation in Lingji’s emotions and quickly soothed him.

If they wanted to be angry, they could slowly be angry after returning to the sect. Right now, they were in the sky, and they still did not know whether bad people would block them on the road back.

After all, with a traitor around, there was no way to hide the matter of the demon cultivators delivering the message.

Before Yu Yu could finish guessing, they were stopped by three men and one woman.

Damn. Yu Yu had not expected himself to have a crow’s mouth function too. Whatever he said came true.

“Sure enough, traitors are detestable no matter what world they’re in.”

When Lingji saw the people blocking them, he immediately stopped the flying sword and cursed the traitor at the same time.

“Lingji, obediently leave that boy behind, and we’ll let you leave.”

Four peak Soul Transformation cultivators. This time, the other side had truly paid a heavy price.

Do not think Soul Transformation cultivators were easy to find. One had to know that in the entire cultivation world, there were fewer than a thousand Daoist Lords at the Tribulation stage, and that still included those old fellows whose lifespans were nearly at an end. Therefore, Soul Transformation cultivators were the main members of every major sect.

Whenever anything happened, most of the time, Soul Transformation cultivators were the ones sent out. Tribulation stage cultivators only served as deterrents.

To be honest, Yu Yu had not expected the other side to send Soul Transformation cultivators. He had thought that, at the very least, there should be one Daoist Lord at the Tribulation stage!

Oh my, it seemed this traitor was not someone important!

They did not even know that Lingji had advanced to Daoist Lord of Tribulation Transcendence. Otherwise, the other side definitely would not have sent only four Soul Transformation cultivators to intercept them.

Seeing this from the shadows, the Demon Mother and Demon Lord were much more at ease. Of course, they did not hurry to leave. Instead, they planned to escort this pair of senior and junior brothers until they reached the nearest immortal cultivation city before turning back.

Because they did not know whether, after the other side’s plan failed, they would send even stronger people to capture Yu Yu.

“Sigh, I don’t even know what’s so amazing about me that it’s worth the other side trying every possible way to send people after me.”

Yu Yu was terribly troubled. Because he knew too many things, there were also many things about him that others might covet. So even he himself could not figure out exactly what had caught someone’s attention so much that they were willing to offend the Taizhen Immortal Sect just to capture him.
