Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 437 Each with their own agenda (Happy National Day!)
Upon hearing this sound, Wei Xi thought to himself, "This is bad: Why is Yu Han here?"

Yu Han called him "Second Brother," but to Wei Xi it sounded like a death knell.

More than one person praised Wei Xi's courage; she even managed to fool the cunning monster again, just like Tan Xian had.

"So that's what it was all about," Yu Han laughed heartily after hearing this. "Second Brother, I've heard so much about you in the Western Regions, it's truly amazing that you've changed your ways today!"

Wei Xi, feigning impatience, replied, "Even the youngest has been punished, what else would I dare to do?"

Yu Han shook his head vigorously, much like a rattle-drum, as falling petals stirred up a fragrant breeze. "I say, Second Brother, isn't this all the trouble caused by that Nanjiang demon?"

"Didn't your elder sister tell you to find something on that demon?" Yu Han asked casually, as if suddenly remembering something. "Why are you here at the warehouse now?"

"Hmph! What trouble could two lowly humans possibly cause?" Wei Xi snorted. "I've had my men keep an eye on them. You know the Demon Chief's temper; I know exactly what's important!"

Yu Han laughed loudly, his beastly eyes sweeping over his good second brother.

If it were Wei Xi's original body, she would probably be sweating profusely by now—she would definitely have made another mistake, at least Yu Han could recognize that the monster in front of her was not Tan Moss.

"...Where exactly did things go wrong?"

Thinking too much was pointless, so Wei Xi became more vigilant and prepared to break ties with Yu Han at any time.

Wei Xi and Yu Han stared at each other, one filled with murderous intent, the other seemingly driven mad by some unknown madness.

But the others couldn't hold back any longer—if these two demonic beasts continued fighting, the Hundred Demon Tomb would close, and they would have to start all over again, which would definitely result in someone dying.

The men, whose injuries varied, cast pleading glances at their leader.

They all lived under the clutches of demonic beasts, so how could the one-eyed man not know the concerns of his subordinates? He felt even more uneasy.

Therefore, the one-eyed man forced himself to step forward and said, "My lords... you are very busy. We can handle the task of delivering materials to the warehouse. We can't possibly take up your time..."

Yu Han suddenly stopped laughing, and said in a sinister tone, "You've certainly shown your cleverness."

The one-eyed man was so frightened that his legs went weak: Everyone in the world said that the Dongyi demon chief, Xia Tanxian, was the most brutal, but the Dongyi people were afraid of Yuhan, whose reputation was still acceptable.

After all, this monster had committed countless horrific acts, and its reputation in the Eastern Barbarian lands was so great that it could stop children from crying at night. It was for this reason that the Eastern Barbarian demon leader sent it to the Western Regions to guard the desert.

Unexpectedly, this man, with his many schemes, committed countless atrocities in the Western Regions. The one-eyed man alone knew of one instance where a drought-stricken area, dissatisfied with the shape of a certain dike, destroyed it, flooding the city and leaving no one alive.

"Tsk," Wei Xi rummaged around on the moss-covered head on her shoulder, looking quite annoyed, "If I scare him to death, wouldn't I just have one person left alive for nothing? Go away! If you're bored out of your mind, go see your elder sister, she can still be of some help!"

Yu Han said slowly, "If I go down with you, we can save even more offerings."

"This is outrageous!" Wei Xi thought angrily—she was down there to do bad things, how could she cause such a ruckus in front of the warehouse guard dog?

Besides, who knows what evil Yu Han is plotting? If it suddenly attacks from below, Wei Xi, who is unfamiliar with the environment, will be in big trouble. "No way!" Wei Xi said decisively, "Don't even think about it. Wasn't Tun Qing punished enough?"

"Good second brother," Yu Han seemed to have completely forgotten the unpleasantness just now, and resumed his polite and gentle manner. "The Western Regions are so dry, what good stuff is there? Today, thanks to your kindness, I went to the warehouse to take a look, but I didn't take anything! If I see something I like, I'll go directly to the Demon Lord and will never implicate you!"

Having said that, without paying any attention to Wei Xi's dying struggle, Yu Han rushed directly into the downward-extending steps, his figure being pulled by the leaping green candlelight.

This was the first time Wei Xi had encountered such a formidable opponent, and he was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth to dust. However, he couldn't abandon his demon persona, so he led his men down to the Hundred Demon Tomb.

Upon entering this so-called Tomb of a Hundred Demons, Wei Xi immediately sensed thousands of intertwined and tearing yin and yang energies.

These yin and yang energies vary in strength, which is relative; however, the thousands of yin and yang energies have an overwhelming advantage over Wei Xi, which is absolute.

Wei Xi, who appeared calm and collected, was actually trembling in her legs—she had once cultivated using Yin-Yang energy, and although she had tasted many benefits, she had also suffered a great deal. The pain of those times was incomparable to the torment she was experiencing today.

To put it simply, Wei Xi is able to stand firm entirely because of his tenacious will.

Unfortunately, danger lurked everywhere, and with no one to rely on, Wei Xi could only focus on the situation around him.

Upon seeing this, Wei Xi's blood surged even more—not to mention the ancient demon Yu Han, even the three ordinary people who followed him remained calm.

Wei Xi quickly figured out the key point:
It's not that these people are any stronger than me, a legitimate cultivator. At this time, Yin and Yang energy is rampant in the mortal world. Although they can't use Yin and Yang energy like demonic beasts, these people who are immersed in Yin and Yang energy every day have adapted to this power over time and are naturally undisturbed.

On the contrary, younger generations like Wei Xi, who are used to spiritual energy and spiritual power, were suddenly thrown into a place like the Hundred Demon Tomb where the flow of Yin and Yang energy is extremely chaotic. They would be considered quite something if they could even crawl.

Even under these circumstances, Wei Xi maintained a high level of professionalism, meticulously playing the role of Tan Xian, while also considering creating an opportunity to overturn the smelting furnace of the Dongyi demon chief according to his own ideas.

According to Wei Xi's original plan, she intended to take out some materials from the warehouse, pretending to deliver them to the demon chieftain as forging materials, thereby gaining access to the furnace used by the beast for smelting. Then, she would stuff the talisman into the furnace and detonate it, making it impossible for the Eastern Yi demon chieftain to retrieve it.

Having blown up his beloved little stove, Wei Xi didn't believe the Eastern Yi Demon Chief could sit still. There was a good chance something would go wrong with the offerings, giving Zuo Fei an opportunity to sneak in.

Ideals are always lofty, but reality is often harsh and unrealistic.

Wei Xi is currently not only limited by Yin and Yang energy, but he also can't get rid of the Yu Han beast beside him.

"The Tomb of a Hundred Demons..." Wei Xi's eyes darkened as he thought of the name, "If only I could leave it here..."

After all, the drought in front of him was not the great demon from history. Wei Xi felt that if he handled things properly, he should be able to trap the drought here.

“With both the furnace and the warehouse in rebellion,” Wei Xi thought to himself, “it’s hard not to be in a mess.”

Wei Xi noticed that the yin and yang energy around him and the beast face on the strange fish were somewhat similar... They both seemed to be imprisoned somewhere, struggling desperately, trying to escape.

"The key is still the Yin and Yang energy... There must be a corresponding method to trap so many demonic beasts here with the Yin and Yang energy..."
