Chapter 274: Decision
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In Gongsun Shi’s opinion, no individual was as important as the safety of the human world.
The current Su Wen was a top-notch combatant in the human world. At the same time, he could be said to be outstanding in both brawn and brains. These successive methods had already made the situation in the human world better.
It could even be said that in Gongsun Shi’s heart, even if 20 or 30 Heaven Rank experts died, it was not as important as Su Wen leaving.
Not to mention a young girl that was only related to him.
Seeing Gongsun Shi remain silent, Su Wen had a guess in his heart as to what his inner thoughts were.
No matter who it was, their subjective thoughts always came first.
Su Wen said, “Senior Gongsun, I’m not that useful to the Human Race now. Compared to scheming against others, my father is definitely better than me. Staying here is only icing on the cake, but don’t you think we’re still too passive?”
Gongsun Shi was surprised when he heard this.
He only heard Su Wen continue, “Although our human world is currently peaceful with the demons, no one knows when this situation will be broken! Xue Qianxun is only a fake saint after all, and she’s far from enough to let us rest easy. At the same time, look at the scattered troops of the demons. They are also constantly trying to pass through the defense line and head to the human world. This is also a form of harassment for us, but up until now, we have only been passively getting beaten up!”
Su Wen smiled. “If I go to the Demon Realm, I will definitely think of a way to weaken their strength.”
Gongsun Shi muttered, “But what if you get discovered?”
Su Wen smiled and said, “That won’t happen. Doesn’t the Demonic Tribe only have one more horn than humans?”
As he spoke, Su Wen’s expression changed and a silver horn appeared on his forehead.
He now looked no different from those Demonic Tribe members.
Gongsun Shi shook his head. “It’s not as easy as you think. The creatures of the Demon Realm, no matter what cultivation technique they cultivate, more or less all carry Demonic Qi! The ordinary Heaven Rank experts are not too sensitive to that, but in the eyes of Saint Rank experts, this Demonic Qi is very obvious. Once you go there, once the Emperor Rank experts see you attack, you will immediately expose yourself!”
Su Wen laughed loudly. “Senior, how many Emperor Realm experts are there in this Demon Realm? If they discover me, I can only say that I’m unlucky! This probability is even lower than a rock falling from the sky to smash me to death!”
Gongsun Shi knew that Su Wen had already made up his mind.
Furthermore, it was indeed as Su Wen had said. Being beaten up passively was not a good thing!
Gongsun Shi looked at Su Wen and suddenly took out something from his chest pocket before handing it to him.
It was a jade thumb ring.
“This is the Stellar Transposition Ring. The Stellar Transposition that you cultivate is the cultivation technique of this almighty person! This ring only has one function, and that is to allow you to teleport randomly within 5,000 kilometers! Every time you use it, you can only use it again after 15 days. If you wear it, you can be prepared for emergencies. Even if you encounter a Saint Rank expert, you can still escape.”
Gongsun Shi continued, “For an ordinary Saint Rank, their divine sense can cover thousands of miles or even tens of thousands of miles. After you teleport, you must think of a way to hide. Otherwise, once you are locked onto, you’re dead meat!”
Su Wen was overjoyed. He did not expect Gongsun to have such a good thing.
This was a precious treasure!
Su Wen took the ring and quickly put it on.
However, he suddenly frowned and looked at Gongsun Shi. He asked worriedly, “Senior, if you give me this ring, you won’t be beaten to death by that Chu Xun next time, right?”
Gongsun Shi’s face darkened!
What sort of thank you comment was this!
“Hmph!” Gongsun Shi turned around and flew away! He could not be bothered with Su Wen.
Su Wen also went back. Before he left, he had to inform his family.
After returning, he first informed Yan Luoying and Ning Shuang.
Then, Su Wen went to see Ni Hongxiao.
In the room, the two of them sat opposite each other.
Su Wen said softly, “I’ve already told Gongsun Shi.”
At this moment, Ni Hongxiao no longer had her usual coldness, nor did she look like she was only concerned about science.
It could even be said that she looked a little haggard.
She took out a star disk from her bosom and handed it to Su Wen. “This thing is made according to Su Su’s bloodline. As long as you appear within 500 kilometers of Su Su, you will be able to see her location.”
Su Wen was overjoyed. He had no clues at all now. Going to the Demon Realm was like finding a needle in a haystack.
With this thing, the efficiency would be much higher!
He hugged Ni Hongxiao and whispered, “Don’t worry, I will definitely find Su Su.”
“Yes…” Ni Hongxiao gently acknowledged and leaned on Su Wen’s shoulder, showing a rare trace of weakness.
“If something happens to Su Su… I must develop a weapon that can destroy the Demon Realm…”
Su Wen thought that she would say that she didn’t want to live anymore from the first half of her sentence…
However, when the latter half of the sentence was spoken… Su Wen had to admit that this was very like Ni Hongxiao!
Suddenly, Ni Hongxiao raised her head and kissed him!
Su Wen’s eyes widened!
This woman had never taken the initiative before.
Su Wen could feel Ni Hongxiao’s intense emotions from her burning lips.
After a while, their lips separated.
Ni Hongxiao hugged Su Wen and whispered into his ear, “Don’t let anything happen! I don’t want to see my family leave me again! It’s the same for you and Su Su! Take care of yourself!”
The two of them hugged each other tightly.
“Trust me, I will bring Su Su back safe and sound!”
“Come back alive.” Ni Hongxiao muttered.
She knew that even with Su Wen’s cultivation, he might not be able to escape unscathed after entering the Demon Realm.
Deep in their passion, the two of them interacted deeply.
This was the first time Su Wen felt such obvious love from Ni Hongxiao.
His relationship with Ni Hongxiao had always been strange.
He could clearly sense that he was a special existence in Ni Hongxiao’s heart, but at the same time, Ni Hongxiao had always been very rational.
She also seemed to be deliberately maintaining a distance.
Even if the two of them were already the closest people, even if Ni Hongxiao was willing to do anything for him…
However, there was just a slight barrier separating them.
The fact that she had yet to enter the residence was an obvious answer.
Titles and positions might seem useless at times, but they represented a form of psychological understanding.
It was… complicated between people.
…
It started to snow in Nine Nether Island.
After Su Wen left, Ni Hongxiao stood there for a long time, staring in the direction he disappeared in.
She rarely did such meaningless things.
Ni Hongxiao’s thoughts gradually drifted back to that night when she was young… Flames, screams, blood…
The feeling of losing a loved one… was not good.
Especially when what she saw were her family killing each other…
For a long time, she had been used to being alone and far away from others.
Until she met Su Wen.
Perhaps in the beginning, to Ni Hongxiao, he was just a good partner.
Ni Hongxiao did not mind letting Su Wen take advantage of her.
However, as time passed, people would eventually change.
Some people liked the new and hated the old, while others were deeply impressed within what they had.
The two of them already had feelings for each other and had a tacit understanding.
They even had a common tether point.
As the cold snow fell on Ni Hongxiao’s body, the scene overlapped with that year where all her loved ones were taken away from her.
This time, there was still hope in her heart.
The snow was slightly cold, but her heart was the opposite.
Gradually… Ni Hongxiao’s eyes turned from confusion to determination…
She had never been a weakling.
She would not just sit by and expect anything good to happen.
She would be prepared for the worst.
She spun around and headed straight for the lab…
If Su Wen really could not come back… she would use all her strength to avenge Su Wen and Su Su!
Even if she would die in return!
Even if she would lose the chance to pursue the truth of the world!
In Zhou Country, compared to other countries who were obsessed with raising pigs, the atmosphere in Zhou Country seemed a little strange.
A large number of Zhou citizens were sent to the capital under orders. They were to stay for a few days before being taken away.
Wu Qiuhan stood at the city gate.
His eyes were a little dark. Perhaps he had not rested well, but he could not help but yawn.
However, he did not notice that many guards around him were the same…
“Sigh! I wonder what the Second Prince is doing! Why is he mobilizing such a large force and causing the commoners to suffer losses? Why must he say that he wants to see the commoners of our Great Zhou? Isn’t this nonsense?”
Wu Qiuhan secretly cursed in his heart.
In his opinion, the Second Prince’s actions were utter nonsense.
However, he had no say in this matter.
In the end, this was a society ruled by royal authority.
At this moment, the Second Prince, who was in charge of supervising the country, was like an emperor!
Especially after he forcefully chopped off the heads of a few ministers.
Even as the prime minister, even though Wu Qiuhan was extremely dissatisfied with this matter, he could only brace himself and agree.
Looking at the dense crowd below the city walls, Wu Qiuhan shook his head and sighed.
It was all thanks to the excellent production of the Mountainous Rock Pig and the Billion Cluster Grass as the feed that they were able to ensure the commoners were still fed.
With the combination of these two things, it could be said that there would no longer be famine in the world.
“I didn’t expect Ni Hongxiao to be so capable. Unfortunately, such a talent was actually abducted by Su Wen.” At the mention of Su Wen, Wu Qiuhan’s mood worsened.
He instructed loudly, “Watch carefully. Maintain order and strictly inspect. No one is allowed to enter the city with weapons!”
He had to be careful. After all, so many people were entering the city, yet there were no Heaven Rank experts in the city. If they really did have ulterior motives, something big might happen.
After giving his instructions, Wu Qiuhan sighed and thought to himself, ‘I originally thought that the Second Prince was a benevolent ruler, but from the looks of it now, his actions are ridiculous and laughable. Currently, I need to maintain stability and not clash with him. When His Majesty returns, I must report to His Majesty the truth… In the future, I will not allow him to ascend the throne!’
He pondered as he descended the city wall, planning to go home and catch up on his sleep…
On the Nine Nether Island, Su Wen had already suppressed his body and transformed into the appearance of the Demonic Tribe.
Fortunately, the most obvious difference between the Demonic Tribe and the human race was that the former had horns on their foreheads. This was still within the illusionary range of the Phantom Mask.
Furthermore, Su Wen realized that compared to the strict defense of the humans, other than a few guards on the Demon Race’s side, there was nothing for him to guard against.
All kinds of demons could be seen everywhere.
Su Wen even saw demons killing each other on the way to the defense line of the human world.
On the other hand, Su Wen passed through the Demon Race’s “defense line” smoothly.
In fact, Su Wen felt that even if he flew through the air, no one would care.
They were too relaxed and did not consider the possibility of anyone counterattacking.
When Su Wen stepped onto the ground of the Demon Realm, he clearly felt the difference.
Compared to the mortal world, this place was very similar to Nine Nether Island. Without sunlight, Su Wen raised his head. The sky was gray and there was a red moon hanging high in the sky, emitting a faint light.
The entire Demon Realm was filled with faint Demonic Qi. Compared to the Spirit Qi of the human world, this Demonic Qi was even more condensed.
However, Su Wen was still at a loss.
He did not know where and how to begin to find Su Su.
Of course, he was not clueless.
According to Su Wen’s thoughts, he wanted to go to the place where the Heavenly Fiend Tribe was located first. After all, Su Su was ‘abducted’ by a Heavenly Fiend Tribe member.
He pondered for a moment and felt that he had to find a place to gather information first!
No matter what, his current understanding of the Demon Realm was still too little.
He knew nothing, absolutely nothing.
Ten days later!
In a city, Su Wen was sitting within a tavern.
Looking at the demons coming and going on the streets, he had mixed feelings.
Compared to humans, the demons had their own currency, which was Demon Stones.
Other than being able to use the Demon Stones as money to spend, they could also be used to assist the Demon Race in their cultivation. Therefore, they could be considered as the hard currency of the Demon Race.
As for things like silver and gold, in the eyes of the demons, they were no different from rocks.
Other than that, what the demons lacked the most were all kinds of living resources.
Food and water were extremely precious.
Compared to the beauty of the human world, the Demon Realm was much more sinister.
Furthermore, compared to the various restrictions in the human world, the rules here were even simpler. Strength was king! The weak were prey to the strong.
They had no intention of protecting the lower-level demons.
Slavery was the main system they practiced here.
Most of the lower-level demons were slaves of the upper-level demons.
Furthermore, the demons had no restrictions on Heaven Rank experts.
They could kill as they pleased, and attack as they pleased.
As long as one could kill others and not be killed, it was considered that they had some ability.
Heaven Rank battles were common among demons!
When he learned of this, Su Wen couldn’t help but sigh. No wonder there were so many more experts from the demon race than for humans.
In such a battle-ready situation, it would be strange if there were no experts produced.
In comparison, the Human Race still valued the commoners more.
At the very least, no one wished for them to be slaughtered at will.
“Dear guest, this is the meat of the Mountainous Rock Pig that you wanted. It was transported back from the front line two days ago and has always been placed in the spirit artifact. It’s fresh!”
A boss with a fish head placed the dishes in front of Su Wen.
Su Wen looked at the pork before picking up a piece and placing it in his mouth.
A smile appeared on his face!
It was clear that large amounts of Mountainous Rock Pork had already become frequent dishes at the table of the Demon Race.
This was what Su Wen hoped to see the most.
The Mountainous Rock Pigs were fed through Billion Cluster Grass. However, inside this specimen, Ni Hongxiao had put in a lot of effort!
The current Billion Cluster Grass contained an element that targeted the Demon Race.
By using it to feed the Mountainous Rock Pigs, they would carry a trace of it their bodies and be passed on when they were turned into food.
As long as the Demon Race ate it for a long period of time, it would cause them to have difficulty producing children. Moreover, to a certain extent, even if they were to give birth, the possibility of a abnormality occurring in the womb was very high.
This was a battle between two worlds, and mercy could not be tolerated.
Su Wen knew that as the number of demons eating Mountainous Rock Pig increased, it would eventually weaken all the demons!
