"The Fire Qilin has a volatile temper, and this person is sharp and narrow-minded. The Turtle West, on the other hand, is quite approachable. He is kind and has never been seen in a fit of rage. Whenever we needed his help, he would oblige, so I suggest we lure the Turtle West out of the cave."
"Who do you usually report to?" Yusuf Zuck pondered.
"The Fire Qilin, of course. He is in charge, and the Turtle West doesn’t vie for power with him," the old Lu family man replied.
"Then focus on the Fire Qilin," Yusuf Zuck determined the target.
"Indeed, the Fire Qilin is suitable for our plan." Demi Garrett nodded in agreent. Yusuf Zuck and he thought alike. Although the Fire Qilin has a volatile temper and is narrow-minded, it indicates he lacks deep scheming. The Turtle West is different; he is polite to everyone, suggesting his deep cunning. You cannot judge by appearances alone, as they might deceive you.
"How do I lure him over?" The old Lu family man, despite being an old stag spirit, didn’t have the kind of complex thoughts humans have. Having never lived in the human world, he, like most Demon Cultivators, only saw the surface of things.
"Just say you caught one alive, but the other can turn Invisible, so you can’t see or capture them, and they’re interfering, preventing you all from returning to your lair. Just ask the lord for help." This was Demi Garrett’s suggestion, and Yusuf Zuck nodded, thinking it was a good plan. If he were the Fire Qilin, he would believe it too.
"Alright, I’ll send it imdiately." The old Lu family man took out a piece of Talisman Paper, rubbed it with both hands, and the paper burned on the spot, turning to ash!
"Interesting, this Spirit Talisman Communication and its unique Dharma Gate," Demi Garrett chuckled.
"What is the principle behind the communication?" Yusuf Zuck inquired curiously.
Demi Garrett answered, "You input the thought you wish to convey into the talisman, and when it’s burned, the receiving talisman will also ignite, and the thought gets transmitted directly."
"Looks like we can’t use the Jade Simple Transmission Book here," Yusuf Zuck laughed briefly. "Well, we’ll trouble Demi to be the hostage. You all must protect him with your lives. I’ll go with Pig Gang Lie to welco the Fire Qilin at the front." Having said this, Yusuf Zuck transford into the Parasitic Light and vanished into Pig Gang Lie’s tangled hair.
Pig Gang Lie hoisted a large sword and strode forward.
Demi Garrett was imdiately bound by the old Lu family man with the God-binding Rope. Of course, the God-binding Rope couldn’t actually restrain Demi Garrett; it was rely for show.
...
At the sa ti, the Fire Qilin, deep in an underground cave of the Eight Rings, received the old Lu family man’s report.
"Captured one, another escaped, and the escaped one can turn Invisible, harassing old Lu and his n?" The Fire Qilin didn’t rush, instead carefully analyzing.
As a high-ranking figure in the Land of Buddha, he was aware of the nine Great Demon Gods and eighteen Demon Kings, being one of the latter.
Thus, as a high-ranking figure, he knew about the outsiders arriving in their world, and he understood it would take those outsiders decades or even hundreds of years to arrive!
So, the sudden early arrival of these two prompted the attention of all senior mbers.
What capabilities did these two possess? How did they reach the Land of Buddha so quickly? A brief discussion among the senior mbers ensued.
However, no conclusions were drawn, and everyone was curious about the abilities of these two individuals.
As for the two outsiders breaking through the Nine Rings, it seed normal. After all, Bai Linger wasn’t interested in flesh, plus nobody knew what peculiar thoughts lay in the young girl’s mind.
Hence, upon the outsiders’ entry into the Eight Rings, he imdiately deployed a strategy, waiting for them to fall into their trap.
It was their duty and mission to block outsiders; it was a shared mission among them, except Bai Linger who had her reservations against this mission.
But if she were to comply, there wouldn’t be any business for them in the Eight Rings.
Humans are a delicacy, and it’s said that consuming the flesh of those who’ve undergone nirvana can make one smarter.
Of course, there’s also the human nirvana thod, highly coveted by them, so the Fire Qilin paid close attention to these two outsiders.
And now, capturing one demonstrated that they were halfway to success!
"No, I must go. First, perform a Soul-searching to understand the outsiders’ nirvana thod. Only then can I advance further, and if I advance, I’d beco a Demon God—a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity." The Fire Qilin swiftly decided; this chance was not to be missed.
Though human flesh is delicious, he wasn’t particularly interested, since even if caught, he’d at most get an arm or a leg, having a leader like Pig Gang Lie.
Pig Gang Lie is known for his gluttony; if he eats first, getting even two claws would be fortunate for the Fire Qilin.
"Four-eyes, assemble the team, we’re leaving," the Fire Qilin slapped the table and flew out of the cave like the wind.
He brought with him four close subordinates, all of whom had undergone nirvana six tis.
Within the Eight Rings, there were seven who had undergone nirvana six tis, but the other three were subordinates loyal to that Turtle West, beyond his command, so he only took his own n.
As soon as he departed with his n, in another secret chamber within the cave, a cross-legged, small old man with beady green eyes also received the relevant report.
"Sir, it seems the two outsiders have been captured; the one nad Fire has already taken action. Should we not follow?" Three n stood before this beady-eyed old man, subordinates loyal to the Turtle West.
The small old man’s beady eyes twirled constantly, soon reflecting a strange smile, "Leave it be, let’s be cautious!"
"But... if the two humans fall into his hands, and we didn’t contribute, won’t the one nad Fire report us for inaction?"
"What do you understand?" the small old man sneered, "Who is Bai Linger anyway? Ranked as the third Demon God—why did she allow the two humans in? Doesn’t she have a mission too? Let’s wait and see, the two humans might not be so weak!"
"That... surely can’t be?" The subordinates looked at the small old man, puzzled.
"Haha, you fools!" the small old man laughed, "The humans entering are from thousands of miles away. Could any of you reach the Land of Buddha within a few days?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Even you, sir, couldn’t!"
"Indeed, neither I nor you can reach, so how did they manage? And how did they safely pass through the Nine Rings?"
"Yes, what’s going on?" The group, prompted by the small old man, was taken aback. Yes, how did the two humans traverse thousands of miles in just a few days? They couldn’t fly outside, nor inside, the sa applying to them and the Nine Great Demon Gods!
Even the Nine Great Demon Gods couldn’t reach the Land of Buddha within days.
This was peculiar!
"Better safe than sorry, let’s await the drama. If the humans are dealt with so easily, I’d consider myself blind, but if they are showing weakness to deceive the Fire Qilin, leading him there on purpose, then we are in for a spectacle!"
