I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 499 Too Lazy to Think (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

After Jiang Yi praised Hong Li, Hong Li was satisfied and temporarily put away the fire seed of Yan Lei Yan, planning to refine it again when they reached a safe place.

Hong Li borrowed the Five Elements Copper Coin Array from Jiang Yi and entered the spiritual herb space of the Green Wood Cauldron first, sealing off the entire herb field.

Firstly, it would prevent her from revealing what she had planted in her medicinal herb field.

Secondly, it prevents the demons who enter from accidentally damaging her elixir.

Since Jiang Yi temporarily placed the Breath Soil and the five-colored spiritual soil from Youxian Ferry into the Green Wood Cauldron, the spiritual medicine space has been upgraded. The spiritual medicine seeds collected in the Kunlun Ancient Secret Realm have sprouted one after another, which is the most crucial moment.

Mo Jiao Wang, Hong Li, Zhao Cangyun, and many other demons surrounded the enlarged Green Wood Cauldron. Mo Jiao Wang decided which demons would enter the spirit medicine space and which would stay outside to fight their way out with everyone else.

Chisongzi, Qitian, and Feng Wuhen were all taken in by Hongli first. They were considered 'unregistered' members of the Thunder Pool Secret Realm, and if they were discovered when they left, they would definitely be harassed.

Jiang Yi, Shen Puning, and Xin Wushuang stood aside and silently watched as the demons jumped into the Green Wood Cauldron one after another.

Shang Shixu hadn't returned from searching for insects yet, and Hua Gu was still collecting resources in the secret realm. The secret realm wasn't large, but Hua Gu couldn't bear to leave anything of value behind. She insisted on exploring it herself, otherwise she would feel like she was losing out.

Jiang Yi also specifically instructed Hua Gu not to completely destroy the resources of the secret realm, and to have morality, or at least pretend to have morality.

Shen Puning held the precious pearl in one hand, while both she and the pig were munching on spiritual fruits they had picked from the secret realm.

"I thought the Ink Dragon King would let the old people and children of the demon race enter the Green Wood Cauldron."

Xin Wushuang nodded slightly, equally puzzled, "Fighting our way out will surely lead to a bloody path, so why would the Ink Dragon King allow the strongest demon race member to enter the cauldron?"

Jiang Yi explained in a low voice, "You are influenced by human morality and fixed mindset. If you have ever paid attention to wolf packs, you should know that most of the time, wolves will let the old wolves walk at the front of the pack. On the one hand, it is to control the speed of the pack, but on the other hand, these old wolves are also the pack's bait, ready to be sacrificed at any time."

"The same goes for the demon race. They need to maintain the overall strength of their race at all times. In the current situation, of course, they must prioritize protecting the strongest demons from harm."

Shen Puning and Xin Wushuang suddenly realized that it made sense upon careful consideration.

The way of thinking of the demon race is different from that of the human race.

After being defeated by Hong Li, the Fire Tongue Thunder Python King also wanted the Ink Dragon King to lead the Fire Tongue Thunder Python clan away from the secret realm.

Hongli immediately refused on Jiang Yi's behalf.

The secret realm beneath the lava pool has not yet been discovered by the Lei Ji Sect, and they have no idea how many resources and monsters it contains.

However, the Fire Tongue Thunder Python clan in the Blazing Cave is a resource of the Thunder Clan. Jiang Yi's identity is sensitive, so it is understandable that she took the Northern Profound Demon Clan from the Thunder Pool Secret Realm, as this was something that True Venerable Thunder Lion had agreed to.

Given the fait accompli, the probability of Lei Jizong, a large sect, publicly breaking ties with Jiang Yi in front of everyone is low.

However, if they bring along the Fire Tongue Thunder Python clan, it would be handing a knife to the Thunder Sect, allowing them to take the opportunity to attack Jiang Yi, accusing him of wantonly stealing resources from the Thunder Sect's secret realm. Hong Li and Jiang Yi's conflict is a family matter, a playful squabble between mother and daughter—it's just fun.

If Jiang Yi's safety were truly threatened, Hong Li would be the first to object.

When Hong Li saw that Mo Jiao Wang was not saying anything, she even said that she didn't want the Yan Lei Yan Fire Seed anymore and that Mo Jiao Wang shouldn't bring the Fire Tongue Thunder Python clan. She said that if Mo Jiao Wang insisted on not listening, he should just kill her and she wouldn't lend the Green Wood Cauldron.

The Ink Dragon King was not a demon who couldn't distinguish right from wrong. In front of Hong Li, she also refused the Fiery Thunder Python King's request, but she did not refuse to die.

When the Northern Xuan Demon Clan leaves the Thunder Pool Secret Realm, a great battle is inevitable. At that time, the Fire Tongue Thunder Python King can take advantage of the chaos to leave on its own. In short, it cannot follow them.

When Hongli returned, she immediately told Jiang Yi about it, but she didn't mention that she was willing to give up Yan Leiyan's matter. She wouldn't bother showing off such a trivial matter.

While Hong Li was gathering the demons, Jiang Yi found the Ink Dragon King and asked him to check the tracking talisman on her body.

As a result, even the Ink Dragon King couldn't find the talisman. Jiang Yi was completely disheartened. After all, it was a tracking talisman left by a Nascent Soul cultivator. It was normal for the Ink Dragon King, a Nascent Soul cultivator suppressed by the secret realm, not to find it.

After Shang Shixu and Hua Gu returned satisfied, Jiang Yi called Zhao Cangyun and Mo Jiao Wang together and sat them on the ground for a battle meeting.

Zhao Cangyun immediately said, "I just calculated it. Even if we stuff them in as much as possible, and let all those demon cubs ride on the heads of other demons, and even if those that can fly pull a few more in the air, in the end there will still be nearly a thousand left."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi said, "Take out all the demon-capturing beads you have. Let the older demons suffer a bit and use the demon-capturing beads first. We'll release them later."

Everyone immediately got to work, and a large pile of demon-collecting beads and demon-spirit bags were piled on the ground. After calculating, they still had more than 500 left.

Shang Shixu used his spirit insects to create illusions, spreading out a map of the Thunder Pool Secret Realm in front of the group.

"The exit of the secret realm is in the Purple Vortex Coral Swamp. To get out, we must pass through the Black Magnetic Plain. Before we came in, we already learned that the Feng Clan, the Nangong Family, and cultivators from three other sects had decided to set up an array in the rift valley outside the Black Magnetic Plain to block the Northern Xuan Demon Clan. They are very confident and determined to kill a group of them."

Jiang Yi reached out and drew a line on the map in mid-air.

"This is the shortcut that Zhong Lingfei and the other three brought me here. The Lei family is the main family of Lei Shi Zhenzun. They don't mix with cultivators from other families and sects. They might be trying to ambush us on this shortcut."

Shen Puning nodded, "Lei Shijiu from the Lei family mentioned to me that his elders told him to go into the secret realm to do two things: one is to find the Blood Tide Flower, and the other is to hunt down the Northern Xuan Demon Clan to obtain the demon seed. They also have a cooperation with Tongbao Tower. At least three Golden Core Peak cultivators have entered Tongbao Tower, bringing with them a lot of array-setting items."

Xin Wushuang added, "The rogue cultivators from the alchemy and weapon-refining guilds also have this idea, but they are not significant enough and only intend to act on the periphery as opportunities arise, taking advantage of the chaos."

The group gathered their information and realized that both paths were fraught with obstacles, and both sides had come prepared, leaving them with no choice.

Knowing that Jiang Yi had a tracking talisman, Zhao Cangyun asked, "Senior Sister, should we split into two groups?"

Jiang Yi stood up and stretched. "I'm too lazy to play along with them. It's really tiring to use my brain all day. Let's head towards the Black Magnetic Plain and just fight our way out. Let them know that we Northern Xuan Demon Masters are not to be trifled with!"
