Transmigrated into a heretical cultivator, leading all the villains to ascension.

Chapter 116 Soul Devouring Demon

By the time she came to her senses, those words had already slipped out of her mouth.

Like an arrow released from a bow, there is no possibility of it being retrieved.

Gao Huohuo's mind raced, and he immediately decided to turn the tables on the plan.

All subsequent explanations were attributed to that mysterious record.

"I only know a little bit about what happened in Luoxia City."

It is said that after nightfall, evil spirits will appear in the city.

It roams freely, devouring human souls; it is extremely dangerous.

To feign hearing such horrifying news for the first time, Gao Huohuo widened his eyes, his face filled with shock.

Even his voice unconsciously rose a few decibels, "Is this what you mean by 'nighttime is not peaceful'?"

Su Ruoyun nodded slightly, then turned her gaze to Zhong Hanshang.

Her eyes held a hint of expectation, as if she hoped he could add something.

But to everyone's surprise, Zhong Hanshang looked completely bewildered.

He had never heard of the name Luoxia City before; this was the first time he had ever heard of it.

It's important to know that Zhong Hanshang, as a young genius of the number one sect, Qingyun Sect, naturally has a wealth of knowledge and experience.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't have never heard of a place as famous as Luoxia City in the Cangyun Realm.

Back then, when Luoxia City was reduced to a desolate city overnight, this event caused a huge uproar throughout the entire Cangyun Realm.

All the major sects are paying close attention, and the Qingyun Sect's library must contain detailed records.

He knew nothing about it, which was quite strange.

For a moment, all three fell silent, each lost in thought.

Suddenly, Gao Huohuo squatted down and quickly traced lines on the ground with his fingers.

Before long, the shape of the withered flower in Luoxia City came into view.

She looked up at the two of them and asked softly, "Have you ever seen a flower like this before?"

Su Ruoyun gently shook her head, but Zhong Hanshang frowned slightly, his gaze lingering on the pattern for a moment.

He began, "This flower is called the Seven Star Flower. It is a rare flower from the Demon Realm, and I've heard that the Soul-Devouring Demons of the Demon Realm are most fond of it."

"A Soul-Devouring Demon?" Su Ruoyun raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Wasn't it said that the Soul Devourers had all been eradicated?"

"I don't really know much about the Soul Eater. Although it's rumored that it has been completely eradicated, no one knows the truth for sure."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Gao Huohuo felt even more strongly that he needed to go into the library of a major sect and take a good look.

Look at myself, I know nothing.

In the future, when you go out to train, what if you encounter something from the demon realm, the monster realm, or other mysterious places?

Wouldn't I be left completely clueless, wandering aimlessly in the dark?

Gao Huohuo looked at the two of them with a sincere expression, his eyes full of seeking advice.

"Could one of you explain to me what exactly a Soul-Eating Demon is?"

Finally, Zhong Hanshang cleared his throat and spoke up to clarify:

"The Soul Devourer is arguably the most terrifying being in the world, possessing the ability to devour the souls of all living beings."

Once a cultivator's soul is devoured, it will transform into a yin spirit.

Under its control, it only knows how to frantically devour the souls of others.

These cultivators who became spirits had only this one obsession left in their minds.

Moreover, they are extremely difficult to eradicate, making them very troublesome.

Zhong Hanshang paused, glanced at the two weapons on Gao Huohuo's body, and then said:

"Legend has it that only semi-divine artifacts that are close to the highest grade can truly kill the Soul Devouring Demon."

Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong.

Oh no, it seems that the Soul Devouring Demon wasn't completely dead after all.

Otherwise, how could I have gotten two halves of the divine artifact by such a coincidence?

So this was what they were waiting for her. Right now, she could only silently pray that the Soul Devourer would appear later.

Suddenly, Gao Huohuo seemed to remember something crucial and eagerly pressed for an answer:

"Fellow Daoist Zhong, does that Soul-Devouring Demon possess sentience? Can it think like a human?"

Upon hearing this, both Zhong Hanshang and Su Ruoyun looked at her with surprise.

In their view, whether or not the Soul-Devouring Demon possesses sentience seems to have little to do with the focus of the current discussion.

Zhong Hanshang hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly, "I don't think so!"

Gao Huohuo pouted, looking annoyed.

I was hoping to rely on a "cheat code," but it turns out that the "cheat code" was completely useless.

Seeing her expression, Zhong Hanshang and Su Ruoyun couldn't help but doubt themselves.

Isn't it a good thing that this Soul-Devouring Demon has no sentience?

If it truly develops sentience, how can these cultivators possibly survive?

At that point, why bother fighting? We might as well surrender to the Soul Devourer as soon as possible; that way, we might be able to preserve some of our strength.

"Where is the Demon Realm? How do we usually get there?"

Gao Huohuo's eyes darted around, and he threw out another question.

Su Ruoyun's eyes widened, and she asked in astonishment:

"Huo Huo, what are you going to the Demon Realm for?"

Gao Huohuo, however, stood up straight and said in a serious tone:

"Find the Qiankun Stone, and while you're at it, check if the Soul Devouring Demon is completely dead."

Su Ruoyun and Zhong Hanshang exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness.

They had become somewhat numb to Gao Huohuo's shocking and unconventional ideas.

What is this girl thinking? Is the Demon Realm such an easy place to go?

Not to mention the long journey and numerous dangers.

The unknown dangers within are enough to deter most people from venturing there.

She, on the other hand, spoke of it as casually as if she were visiting a neighbor.

"Huo Huo, I know you have great talent and strength, but that Soul Devouring Demon is not so easy to deal with."

Most cultivators would run away if they saw him.

Who goes around actively seeking you out like that?

After hearing Su Ruoyun's words, Zhong Hanshang also felt it was necessary to explain things clearly to her, lest she needlessly lose her life.

“I know what you’re thinking, but even with divine weapons, the Soul Devourer’s strength is unfathomable.”

Remember, don't act impulsively, especially since you're only at the Golden Core stage right now.

Okay, she understood. All she said was that she felt I wasn't capable enough.

But she didn't say she was going now, she just asked in advance, these people are overthinking it.

Okay, let's change the question!

"Fellow Daoist Zhong, your Qingyun Sect's library must be the largest, right?"

Zhong Hanshang didn't understand what she meant by asking that, but he nodded nonetheless.

"Can I ask you for a favor?"

I'd like to learn about the customs and culture of the Cangyun Realm.

Could you please make a copy of this type of book from your library and lend it to me?

"Don't worry, I have a special imprinting tool here. It's very fast and won't take up much of your cultivation time."

After saying that, Gao Huohuo took out the cultivation world version of the printer that his fourth senior brother had refined from his storage ring.

After demonstrating it to the two of them, he handed it to Zhong Hanshang.

Zhong Hanshang lowered his eyes to look at the object in his hand, his brows furrowing slightly as he pondered to himself:

I don't think I've promised anything yet, have I?

How did this thing end up in his hands?

Gao Huohuo blinked her bright, lively eyes, a mischievous smile on her face, and said in a sweet voice:

“Fellow Daoist Zhong, look at your character, it’s universally acknowledged, you’re a kind and good-hearted person.”

I only made such a small request, you surely can't bear to refuse me and leave me feeling so disappointed, right?

Su Ruoyun, who was standing nearby, also stepped forward at the opportune moment, a teasing smile on her lips, and chimed in:

"Huo Huo, you can put your mind at ease. Who is Fellow Daoist Zhong?"

He was an elite from a major sect, and his style of doing things was always generous and forthright.

Helping you with this little favor is a piece of cake.
