145: Night Exploration of the Demon Sect
“Alright, this maiden agrees.”
Yaoyao said this as if Li Daoxuan was begging her.
Li Daoxuan retorted, “We are helping you, not the other way around. You’re acting like you’re at a great disadvantage.”
“Also, I am your savior, how will you thank me?”
“Tch! We’re already friends, why talk about thanks? It’s too formal, isn’t it?”
Yaoyao pulled Mei Niang and said, “Mei Niang, let’s discuss the next plan first.”
The three gathered around and began to discuss the upcoming plan.
Li Daoxuan spoke first, “How about a night raid on the Heavenly Demon Sect?”
Mei Niang and Yaoyao were not the quiet types. As soon as they heard about a night raid on the Heavenly Demon Sect, their eyes lit up with excitement.
Yaoyao slapped her thigh and exclaimed, “Good! This maiden has long wanted to go back and kill them!”
“I agree too!”
Li Daoxuan’s decision was not made on a whim; rather, it was a well-thought-out idea.
Firstly, they had Yaoyao, who was familiar with the Heavenly Demon Sect, to guide them.
Secondly, the Heavenly Devil Saint Child and Heavenly Demon General would surely not expect Yaoyao to be so bold as to launch a counterattack.
Finally, Li Daoxuan trusted his own strength.
Since all three agreed to the night raid on the Heavenly Demon Sect, the next step was preparation.
Li Daoxuan, with a pained expression, took out a few more Medicinal Pills and reluctantly said, “Here! Take these and use them sparingly.”
“What?”
“Oh! Medicinal Pills, all top-grade sixth-rank Medicinal Pills!” Yaoyao snatched the Medicinal Pills from Li Daoxuan’s hand.
Yaoyao looked at the Medicinal Pills excitedly, but she was a bit reluctant to consume them.
“These are for healing… these are for restoring spiritual Qi… these are for increasing cultivation… these are…”
“Do you have more? Give me a few more for backup.” Yaoyao looked at Li Daoxuan eagerly.
Seeing that Li Daoxuan ignored her, Yaoyao directly pulled Li Daoxuan’s arm and cooed, “Li… Li Dage, please just give me two more, I beg you!”
“You little Demoness! Don’t be so greedy.”
“Do you think sixth-rank Medicinal Pills are like weeds, available in any quantity?”
Li Daoxuan was speechless. He didn’t have many sixth-rank Medicinal Pills himself, mainly due to the lack of high-grade medicinal ingredients, so Li Daoxuan had no chance to refine Medicinal Pills.
Yaoyao, that little Demoness, her eyes had turned into the shape of Medicinal Pills, round and incredibly cute.
Yaoyao’s eyes darted around, and she slyly said, “Li Dage, are you still short of a maid to pour tea and water? A servant girl would also do.”
Li Daoxuan: “???”
“How about me? Why don’t I be your maid? You can just give me a few Medicinal Pills as payment from time to time.”
“Go on! Stop messing around!”
“You are the Saintess of the Heavenly Demon Sect; how dare I make you a maid?”
Yaoyao indignantly said, “What kind of Saintess? I’ve been a Saintess for three years and haven’t seen this many Medicinal Pills.”
“Besides, my position as Saintess is now just in name. It’s better not to be one.”
Li Daoxuan suddenly showed a mischievous smile: “I don’t lack maids, but I do lack a servant girl to warm the bed and fold the covers. What do you think…”
Yaoyao smiled shyly and said, “Li Dage, you’re so naughty.”
“However, as long as the Medicinal Pills are sufficient, it’s not impossible!”
Mei Niang couldn’t stand it anymore and helplessly said, “Both of you, be serious. We still have important matters to attend to.”
“However, Yaoyao, if you are willing, you can be Li Daoxuan’s Dao Companion and have children.”
“Ah? Mei Niang, you don’t mind?”
“Does my minding matter? Ask him how many Dao Companions he has?”
Li Daoxuan changed the subject, “Yaoyao, quickly heal your injuries and recover your strength. We will act tonight.”
“Alright!”
That night, the wind howled and the night was dark.
Li Daoxuan piloted the flying boat closer to the Heavenly Demon Sect, and couldn’t help but ask, “Yaoyao, are you sure it’s this direction?”
“Don’t worry, it can’t be wrong!”
The Heavenly Demon Sect had already sealed its gates. If Li Daoxuan and the others wanted to enter, they would easily alert the people inside, unless Li Daoxuan used the Tongtian Pagoda.
However, given the Demon Race’s strange methods, even using the Tongtian Pagoda might not guarantee success.
Yaoyao actually claimed there was a secret passage leading to the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Under Yaoyao’s guidance, Li Daoxuan continuously changed the flying boat’s route, and finally found a black hole.
“Are you sure this is a secret passage into the Heavenly Demon Sect?”
No matter how Li Daoxuan looked at it, he felt it was a bit unreliable. This black hole was like a demon with its mouth wide open, wanting to devour everything.
What made Li Daoxuan even more wary was that his Divine Power of Insight couldn’t see through it or see the bottom.
Yaoyao patted her chest and guaranteed, “Don’t worry, this is it.”
“Have you ever entered or exited through this hole?”
“Uh! No, I haven’t.” Yaoyao was extremely embarrassed, then argued, “I heard the Sect Master say it personally, so it must be right.”
Li Daoxuan frowned and asked, “Who else knows about this passage? Does the Heavenly Devil Saint Child know?”
Yaoyao affirmed, “The Heavenly Devil Saint Child definitely doesn’t know. Besides me, only the Sect Master and the Grand Elder should know.”
“Then have your Sect Master and Grand Elder defected to the Demonic Path?”
“No! Absolutely not!”
Yaoyao argued, “I don’t think the Sect Master and the Grand Elder would ever defect to the Demonic Path. They probably aren’t dead either.”
“I suspect they must be trapped.”
Li Daoxuan thought for a moment and said, “You two should wait for me outside. Let me go scout ahead first.”
“No!”
“No!”
Mei Niang and Yaoyao exchanged glances, and Yaoyao added, “Since we came together, if we’re going to die, we die together.”
Li Daoxuan retorted, “Crow’s mouth! I’m not going to die. I just think you’d be a burden if you came along.”
“What did you say?! I’ll bite you to death!”
Yaoyao immediately became agitated, stomping her feet in anger. She was a Genius Demoness, yet she was being called a burden?
Mei Niang suddenly let out a sigh, her expression very awkward. She hated herself, hated why her strength was so weak, unable to help at all.
“Yaoyao, let’s listen to your Li Dage’s arrangements.”
“Ah?”
Without waiting for Yaoyao to refuse, Li Daoxuan left the flying boat and directly entered the black hole.
Li Daoxuan was very curious. The Heavenly Demon Sect was clearly in this mountain range, so why did this black hole go downwards?
Where exactly did this black hole lead?
As Li Daoxuan delved deeper, he increasingly felt that he had been tricked by that little Demoness, Yaoyao.
He had been falling for so long, why hadn’t he reached the bottom yet? Why were there no other branching passages? Why was the Devilish Qi here so dense?
However, retreating was not Li Daoxuan’s style.
He could only grit his teeth and continue to descend.
Suddenly, Li Daoxuan sensed a hint of danger, which then disappeared.
“This place is simply too bizarre!”
Li Daoxuan summoned the Tongtian Pagoda. Once he encountered danger, he would immediately unleash this great treasure. If that didn’t work, he could only flee directly.
His Divine Power of Insight was fully activated, continuously scanning his surroundings.
“Who?”
“Come out! I see you.”
