“Big brother, what exactly is so amazing about the Demon Refining Gourd?” Lin Bigbird asked.
Everyone else also looked at Ye Qiu curiously. They all wanted to know just how miraculous the Demon Refining Gourd was.
Real Person Longbrow said, “Little brat, why don’t you show everyone its power? Satisfy our curiosity.”
“Fine.” Ye Qiu held up the Demon Refining Gourd and pointed its mouth straight at Real Person Longbrow.
Instantly, an ominous feeling rose in Real Person Longbrow’s heart. He asked, “Little brat, what are you doing? I’m warning you, don’t mess around…”
“Collect!” Ye Qiu shouted lightly. At once, a mass of dense green light burst from the mouth of the gourd and rapidly enveloped Real Person Longbrow.
In that moment, Real Person Longbrow felt his entire body pulled by an immense suction force. No matter how he struggled, it was completely useless.
“Little brat, what the hell are you doing? Let this poor Taoist go right now!” Real Person Longbrow yelled in terror.
“Didn’t you want to see its power? I’m granting your wish.” Ye Qiu’s smile was radiant.
Very quickly, Real Person Longbrow’s body shrank like a flying insect and was sucked into the Demon Refining Gourd.
Everyone who saw this scene was dumbfounded.
“Who would have thought that something so small could actually take in a living person? It’s unbelievable,” Lin Bigbird said with astonishment.
Hearing this, the little white fox cursed inwardly, “Ignorant fool. The Demon Refining Gourd is the supreme treasure of the demon race. Let alone one person, it could take in billions of living beings.”
Then the little white fox felt a jolt of alarm.
“This is bad. Ye Changsheng has mastered how to use the Demon Refining Gourd. It looks like it will be hard for this princess to get her paws on this demon race treasure now.”
The little white fox gnashed her teeth in fury. “It’s all because that bastard Ye Changsheng went back on his word. Otherwise, this demon race treasure would already be in this princess’s hands.”
After that, the little white fox frowned.
“As far as I know, this demon race treasure can only be used by members of the demon race.”
“When Ye Changsheng dripped his blood, why didn’t the artefact spirit resist? Why did it acknowledge him as master instead?”
“Could it be that Ye Changsheng is actually one of us demons?”
“Impossible! If he were a demon, he would definitely carry the aura of the demon race. No matter how well he hid it, he couldn’t fool this princess’s eyes.”
“It’s truly incomprehensible. Why would the artefact spirit choose him?”
“Don’t tell me it’s because he’s handsome?”
“Hmph. Who knew the artefact spirit of a demon race treasure could be so shallow!”
At that moment, Ye Qiu gave another light shout. “Come out.”
In an instant, Real Person Longbrow’s figure flew out from inside the gourd.
His face was pale, his legs trembled, and his spirit was utterly drained. He looked exactly like someone who had spent the night with ten women and now suffered from severe kidney deficiency.
Ye Qiu laughed. “Old thing, did that feel good?”
“Hmph.” Real Person Longbrow snorted coldly.
After entering the gourd, he had found himself in a vast grey space filled with chaotic mist. He couldn’t muster the slightest strength. If he had stayed any longer, his body would have melted into corpse water.
Real Person Longbrow had been terrified. Fortunately, Ye Qiu released him in time, yet even so, he still looked completely spent.
Ye Qiu said, “Old thing, judging by your face, you don’t seem satisfied. Want to go back in for a bit longer?”
“You dare!” Real Person Longbrow roared in anger. “Little brat, if you trick this poor Taoist again, I’ll cut ties with you completely.”
Ye Qiu just smiled.
At this point, Lin Bigbird sidled over and asked, “Second brother, how was it?”
Real Person Longbrow was already fuming. Lin Bigbird’s question only fanned the flames. He cursed, “Are you blind? Can’t you see how I am? Do you want to try it yourself?”
Lin Bigbird shrank his neck in fright. “Never mind, I’d better not. I’m so fat, what if I get stuck in the mouth of the gourd? That would be trouble.”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Only Wu Qianfan couldn’t laugh. Thinking of all his bad luck on this journey, how he finally encountered a supreme treasure yet failed to recognise it and let Ye Qiu profit, he felt utterly depressed.
Ye Qiu noticed Wu Qianfan’s mood, patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, “You’re a pretty good servant. Keep working hard and continue finding treasures for your master.”
Wu Qianfan was so angry he nearly spat blood. He cursed inwardly, “Ye Changsheng, just you wait. Sooner or later I’ll defeat you and make you my servant.”
With that, he shot into the sky and left the pit.
Seeing Wu Qianfan storm off in a huff, Yun Xi giggled softly. “Changsheng, you’re so bad~”
“Don’t you like it?” Ye Qiu gave Yun Xi a meaningful smile.
Yun Xi’s eyes rippled like autumn waves as she smiled seductively. “I like it.”
“Let’s go too.” Ye Qiu took Yun Xi’s hand and led everyone out of the pit.
Once they were back on the surface, Lin Bigbird said to Wu Qianfan, “Prince Wu, we’re heading out of the mountain now. Come with us!”
Wu Qianfan shook his head. “I’m not leaving. I’ll stay here.”
This time in the Undying Mountain, he had suffered constant misfortune and gained no treasures at all. He wanted to keep searching.
After all, the Undying Mountain only appeared once every few hundred years. Missing this chance meant waiting centuries for the next.
Of course, finding treasures was secondary. Revenge was his primary goal.
“You’re not coming?” Lin Bigbird was a bit annoyed. “Do you have any idea how far we travelled just to find you?”
“And what are you staying here for?”
Wu Qianfan replied, “I need to find Wuhua. I want revenge.”
“Is that all?” Lin Bigbird laughed. “Prince Wu, big brother already took revenge for you.”
Wu Qianfan was stunned. “What do you mean?”
Lin Bigbird explained, “Wuhua was crippled by big brother. If he didn’t have a divine artefact from Great Thunder Sound Temple, his bones would already be ash.”
What!
Wu Qianfan’s face was filled with shock.
Lin Bigbird continued, “Prince Wu, there’s something I’m not sure I should say.”
Wu Qianfan asked, “What is it?”
Lin Bigbird said, “On this trip into the Undying Mountain, big brother consecutively killed Pei Gang, Tuoba Xiong, Li Beihai, Jiang Wudao, An Ruoxi, Cao Mao, Yao Meng, and Wei Wuji. He crippled Wuhua. One man swept away every genius.”
“Not only that, big brother obtained the supreme opportunity of the Undying Mountain, acquired a demon race imperial artefact, and stepped into the extreme realm of the Cave Heaven stage.”
“Although his cultivation isn’t the strongest right now, with big brother’s talent, he will definitely prove the Dao and become an Emperor in the future.”
“So, acknowledging big brother as your master is no disgrace to your status.”
Hearing these words, a storm surged in Wu Qianfan’s heart. At this moment, he really wanted to ask, Ye Changsheng, are you a bloody demon?
At the same time, Wu Qianfan felt even more depressed.
He had gained nothing, yet Ye Qiu had not only eliminated so many geniuses, he had also seized the supreme opportunity of the Undying Mountain and the Demon Refining Gourd. The gap between people really could infuriate someone to death.
“I understand now. Ye Changsheng stole all my luck, which is why I’ve had nothing but misfortune.”
Thinking of this, Wu Qianfan’s expression turned ugly.
“Prince Wu, come out of the mountain with us!” Lin Bigbird urged.
“I still have things to do, so I won’t travel with you.” With that, Wu Qianfan turned and left.
“Bloody hell, I said so much and it was all for nothing?” Lin Bigbird fumed. “Big brother, look at him—”
“Forget it, let him go,” Ye Qiu said. “Now, let’s discuss our plan for leaving the mountain!”
