Chapter 483: Got Captured
Zhu Jiu's original plan was to sneak into the Diyi Building or Bu Jinglian tonight, but things went against his will.
The man on the crescent moon did not come back, but sent back a message.
The general meaning is: The chief disciple of the Northern Sword Sect accidentally got lost on the way to the outskirts of the Dark Forest, and then accidentally got lost from the outskirts to the inner area. He just sent a distress signal, but now no one can be contacted.
Xingjun, Zhujiu: "..."
After recalling Le Taotao and Hei Batian, Zhu Jiu suddenly felt that this news was unprecedentedly reasonable.
It is known that Le Taotao is the true disciple of the Northern Sword Sect.
Every successor to the Northern Sword Sect's leader needs to "test the sword", which means to gain experience in the mortal world.
This is not a big deal. Nowadays, sects emphasize the cultivation of both body and mind when training disciples. The problem is that the people of Beimai Sword Sect are too stubborn and refuse to arrange guardians for them.
So when Le Taotao was in the demon tribe, almost all the people were gone, and that's when the elders finally arrived.
One failure does not teach one a lesson. This time the sect did not send guardians, so Le Taotao got lost into the dark forest.
Zhu Jiu couldn't help but ask: "Has their Northern Sword Sect ever had a sword tester fail due to an accidental death?"
Yue Shangxian flipped through his eighteen years of experience and said, "I've never heard of it."
Okay, okay, it’s just luck.
Moon Rising: "The sword test of the Northern Sword Sect has always been strict. The sect will keep life-saving methods, but will not send elders to follow."
Zhu Jiu understood when he saw that he had no intention of coming back.
"The sect sent you to look for it?"
This shouldn't be the case. The demons love spiritual practice the most, especially those with special physiques like Yue Shangxian. Besides, Le Taotao is missing, so is Yue Shangxian, who is also the chief, safe?
Isn't this just asking for death?
Moon Shangxian said in a low voice: "No, a high-level demon has captured Le Taotao and threatened to exchange him for the evil demon core."
That was the magic core that killed the hidden demon that several people saw in the Demon Hunting Department of the Demon Hunting Guild.
Zhu Jiu was stunned.
Good thing, things are getting complicated.
They had just returned from the union not long ago, and the demons knew that the union had developed a method to use the evil demon core. How could the news spread so quickly?
Zhu Jiu doesn't even believe that there is no traitor.
The image of Shuai Guo flashed through Zhu Jiu’s mind.
"What do they say now?"
"The Northern Sword Sect asked to exchange the magic core for their true disciple, but the other sects were quite dissatisfied, and the Heavenly Demon Sect was particularly unwilling."
Are you kidding? What does the disappearance of another chief have to do with the Demon Sect? Why should the Demon Sect give away the magic core that they have worked so hard to analyze?
Now this thing is as important as the super holy weapon!
If you want to blame someone, blame the Beimai Sword Sect for not arranging a guardian elder.
The Demonic Sect is indeed right in this matter, and the rejection should be straightforward.
But Zhu Jiu knew as soon as he thought about it that things were by no means that simple. It was the time of the "referendum" to open the Demon Abyss. The Northern Sword Sect was one of the eight major forces and had a say.
Even if the Demonic Sect wanted to spit on it to death, it had to swallow its anger and compromise.
It is estimated that the waxing moon will now participate in this "compromise".
As expected, he said in a cold voice: "Catch the demon clan of Jiemie and prohibit people above the Void Refining Stage from entering the Dark Forest, otherwise he will be killed. Master asked Bu Jinglian and I to take the demon core to exchange hostages. Jian Shou will take the demon hunter and a group of elders to support outside. If the demon clan changes its mind, we will directly attack."
Zhu Jiu immediately drew two questions from this sentence, "Has your master returned to the sect?"
"Did the Heavenly Demon Sect really give you the Demon Core?"
"Yes." Yue Shangxian answered the first question, then paused, with a hint of doubt in his tone, "No, the magic core was given to Bu Jinglian."
……
Should I go find Lou Yeyu or go to the Dark Forest to watch the fun?
Of course there is no need to think about it. The latter was the turmoil of other people, and the former was the key clue she had been looking for.
Zhu Jiu's soul left his body and floated to the sect master's peak without any hesitation.
Lu Xingjun shouted excitedly, "What a surprise, what a thrill, what an excitement! Dear audience friends, whether Lou Yeyu is actually Meng Huwan in disguise will soon be revealed!"
"The truth is right in front of us! As long as we prove that they are the same person, all previous inferences will be connected. The Yue clan was destroyed by her, and the container is also her. As long as we kill Meng Huwan, the Jiuqu Shuozhou dungeon will be successfully cleared!!"
"..."
Zhu Jiu's calm and cautious expression almost collapsed.
She didn't say much, and carried the Star Lord's heavy expectations all the way to the Sect Master Peak. She entered the barrier with ease, and was so familiar with it that thieves could call her "Big Sister" when they saw her.
Zhu Jiu went straight to the cave, but it was empty. She observed the details of the items and found that they were exactly the same as when she left last time. There was no difference at all.
The book "Postpartum Care for Sows" on the bookshelf is restored to its original state.
The stagnant spiritual energy inside was very happy to see her: See you again, thief!
Zhu Jiu walked around the cave, stole some aged spiritual energy and went out.
Xingjun was very disappointed. "What kind of person is this? He passed by his home ten times without entering! The grass on the mountain has all withered and died."
Zhu Jiu pondered for a moment, then said with a stern expression, "As the saying goes, it is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go. Even if she is not in the cave, I can't just give up like this!"
As soon as Xingjun heard this, he knew that Zhu Jiu had a good idea, and his expression became more serious. "What do you think, sir? Should we attack directly at the Council Peak?"
He soon realized how wrong he was.
He watched with numbness as Zhu Jiu jumped up and down and went into the spirit beasts' dens on the Sect Master Peak. Now a human face appeared and he stuck his head into a pigsty.
His eyes sparkled, and his face was filled with devilish confidence. "Lou Yeyu, stop pretending. I know it's you."
"You like to play tricks on me? Humph, that's ridiculous. No one in the world can fool me, not even if they turn into pigs!"
The old boar, who lived a peaceful and affluent life and never worked from 10 am to 15 pm, was originally chewing hay happily, rubbing his fat body against the trough to scratch his itch, when he was startled by the sudden appearance of a human head.
What are you talking about?
The piglet has a simple mind and fat limbs. The piglet doesn't understand. The piglet only knows that this person doesn't give him food, so he turns around disdainfully and points his huge butt at Zhu Jiu. His short, thin and curly tail sweeps and hits Zhu Jiu on the forehead.
Zhu Jiu was slapped, but said firmly: "This is just a real pig."
Xingjun wanted to pretend that he didn't know Zhu Jiu, but his curiosity was a bad habit he had inherited from humans, so he asked expressionlessly, "Why?"
Zhu Jiu curled his lips and smiled, his eyes full of authority, "Because people will never stick their buttocks out to face another person. Only the closest people will give their backs to others!"
After Zhu Jiu finished speaking, he quickly poked the old boar's anus with the slippery branch in his hand. Jie smiled and turned around and ran away.
Xingjun: “…”
It was horrible. He tried so hard to abstract it, but it was still not as good as the improvisation of a talented player like Zhu Jiu.
Xingjun covered his face in shame (embarrassment).
The old pig just felt an itch in his anus and it was over before he felt anything else.
He turned around twice strangely, and finally leaned against the trough and fell into a deep sleep snoring happily.
The pig doesn't have to worry about anything. If the sky falls, humans will support it. It only needs to wait to be made into braised pork, stir-fried pork with green peppers, twice-cooked pork, pork belly, barbecued pork, pork elbow... and that's it.
On the other side, Zhu Jiu used the words "Stop pretending, I know you are Lou Yeyu" to search every beast's den, but still didn't see Lou Yeyu.
Zhu Jiu was not disappointed and sighed, "Sure enough, she won't show up easily. She should have left the Heavenly Demon Sect."
Xingjun's dream of quickly clearing the dungeon was shattered, and he felt a little depressed. "Le Taotao has been arrested, why doesn't she go to the Dark Forest to preside over such an important event?"
"Didn't Yueyue say that Wen Chaoxi was gone?"
Wen Chaoxi's status in Jiuqu Shuozhou is equivalent to that of a great general whose achievements are so great that they threaten the emperor. When Le Taotao goes missing, she is more than capable of stepping in.
Upon hearing this, Xingjun looked solemn and stared at Zhu Jiu.
"What?" Zhu Jiu raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"Why do you call him Yueyue? Didn't you say that it was just a name you called for fun? Now there's no one around, who are you calling him for?"
"Tell me, have you fallen in love with someone new again?"
"I..." Zhu Jiu was speechless for a moment. Seeing Xingjun's questioning eyes, she looked away and happened to see the old pig who was anally raped. She immediately said, "Of course I told the old pig."
She said calmly, "In fact, I think all the males in the world like me. In order to reject him politely, I had to pretend to be ambiguous with one of them."
Xingjun: “…”
She wouldn't dare to listen to such words even if Zhu Jiu dared to say them.
After a moment of silence, it gave a thumbs up and praised, "Congratulations, Youyou, you have broken through the feudal shackles and even made up a dirty rumor about pigs!"
Zhu Jiu: “…”
What does it mean? Being able to like her is a blessing that a pig must have earned in eight lifetimes!
……
Zhu Jiu left the Sect Master Peak, but the spirit beasts on the mountain were still living in fear of being stabbed in the anus for no apparent reason. They kept their buttocks together and their backs to the wall, fearing that the hateful human pervert would stab them again.
At that time, although Zhu Jiu and Xing Jun chatted about some abstract things, they did not delay their business.
After finding nothing at the Sect Master Peak, Zhu Jiu went to the Council Peak to take a look. There were only a few old ladies and old men who looked young but were actually hundreds of years old gathered together to discuss national affairs, and the noise was as loud as a vegetable market.
Zhu Jiu took out a handful of melon seeds and stood among these people, pricked up his ears and listened. They were mainly cursing the Beimai Sword Sect for being as shameless as a bend in a city wall, and they deserved to have their true disciple arrested.
"What sword tester? If the cave collapses, you can rebuild it, but what they built cannot be rebuilt!"
"You've lost your way twice and ended up in the Dark Forest. You still call yourself Silence? You should call yourself an idiot."
However, as soon as the message came from the Northern Sword Sect, these red-temperature elderly people all smiled warmly and spoke in soft voices.
"Don't worry, don't panic. Our sect has already sent two true disciples with the magic core to the Dark Forest to exchange for little Jiemie. President Wen is also bringing forty-nine demon hunters and the sect's elders and disciples to support us. We must bring little Jiemie back safely!"
"Yes, your Majesty just needs to be patient and wait for good news!"
"If friend Jiemie loses even a hair, my Tianmo Sect will be fully responsible!"
The hot-tempered old ladies and old men from the Northern Sword Sect felt much better after learning through secret channels that the Demon Sect had indeed reacted quickly and with a sincere attitude.
They admitted that they were in the wrong, but they had to do so for the sake of Jiemie's life. At this moment, their tough words softened a little, and they stated that they would not let the Demon Sect lose a magic core in vain, and they would compensate them.
The elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect all sneered in disdain. That was the first usable magic core! If the Northern Sword Sect didn't take out the sect's treasure - the super sacred artifact Tiangong Ding, could it afford the compensation?
Moreover, the Northern Sword Sect was notoriously poor among the eight major forces. The sect's financial management failed, and the cultivators' spiritual stones were all used to maintain and upgrade their broken swords. They maintained them more delicately and carefully than their Taoist companions.
If anyone is short of spirit stones, they can go to the foot of Beimai Sword Sect Mountain to sell sword and knife maintenance products. They can make a lot of money in a day, as long as they are not afraid of being hunted down later.
To sum up, when they took out those ugly things, the elders of the Demon Sect were too lazy to even look at them.
But you still have to accept it. It would be a waste if you don’t accept it. A beggar’s money is still money, and spiritual stones don’t matter where they come from.
"As the eight great powers standing in the Nine Netherworld, we should work together to help each other. Now that the Northern Sword Sect is in trouble, it is our duty to help the Heavenly Demon Sect!"
The elder of the Sky Demon Sect curled his lips in disdain while communicating with the Northern Sword Sect in a sincere tone.
The latter felt comforted by what he heard and his attitude softened a bit.
Seeing that the time was almost right, the elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect said with a turn of his eyes, "High-level demons are rare. In order to fight against demon hunters, these beasts have long since banded together to form a unique information network, alerting each other and jointly resisting the human race."
"In recent years, high-level demons have become increasingly difficult to catch, just like loaches... The hidden demon in the daytime is the only high-level demon caught in the past ten years."
"Magic cores are hard to come by..."
The people from the Northern Sword Sect were silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Even though the magic core has great power, it is just a dead object and is far less important than a living person."
The elder of the Northern Sword Sect added: "Demon cores are precious, but they are far less important than human life. Once there is one, there will be two. The Demon Hunters Guild has already researched how to use the first magic core. I believe there will be more good news in the future."
Similar to: Although you have lost your child, you will definitely have another one!
Elder Tianmo: Haha, I'm too lazy to scold you. You're comparing other people's magic cores with your own? Bah, how shameless!
The Heavenly Demon Elder's face was full of hatred, but he agreed: "That's true. Everything in the world is for the service of humans. Without humans, there is no value."
After receiving favorable comments from the other side, the elder said: "It's just a pity. The scarcity of high-level magic cores means that samples are scarce."
“But if the Demonic Abyss can be opened, the guild will no longer have to worry. This power that transcends the Fate Stage can also be controlled by various factions.”
After going around in circles for quite some time, I finally reached the end, and I still wanted to reach a consensus on the vote.
To save your child, shouldn't you vote for it?
This is how debts of favor work; Party A and Party B are always changing at any time.
Logically speaking, the Beimai Sword Sect should have agreed to this in exchange, but unfortunately, this sect was well-known in the Nine Netherworld for being straightforward, and its handling of human relationships was disastrous.
They were silent for a moment, then said, "If you are frank, our sect will speak freely."
"The many benefits mentioned in your proposal are certainly tempting, but the statements that the Demon Abyss is not threatening are all from the demons. No one has actually been in there to listen or see it. Who dares to believe this news?"
"You have all been through many storms, and you should know that the information you have on the battlefield must be accurate. The Demonic Abyss is an unknown hidden world. If there is a slight deviation in the information, the abyss will be opened and there will be no recovery. The entire Nine Netherworld will be placed in a boiling pot, precarious, and all lives will be destroyed."
