"Excuse , how can we get inside this city gate?"
Hearing Tang Rao speak so calmly, those inside the gate might let people in, but they looked at Tang Rao and turned away, not giving him the slightest attention.
"Could you perhaps make an exception and let us in?"
Tang Rao took out ten Purple Crystals and handed them over. Such a large amount made the common folk outside the gate envious, yet those inside didn't even glance at the Purple Crystals.
One hundred Purple Crystals?
He took out more, reaching a total of one hundred, and once again presented them to the Gatekeeper.
This ti, he finally got a reaction.
The Gatekeeper took the one hundred Purple Crystals and shook his head at Tang Rao, "It's not that I don't want to let you in, but to enter this gate, you need to be a High God. You, a Middle God? If I let you in, I'd be in big trouble myself."
The Gatekeepers have their own difficulties; if they could be easily swayed by small favors to do things against the higher-ups' orders, they themselves would face punishnt in the end.
Tang Rao looked at the Gatekeeper's expression and knew there was no way around it.
"Tang Rao, co here."
The Supre Power quietly called Tang Rao to the side.
"Do you trust ?"
The Supre Power thought for a long ti before making a decision and asked Tang Rao.
"Supre Power, what is it?"
Of course, Tang Rao trusted the Supre Power; everything he did was better than Tang Rao, and he often helped Tang Rao simply to have a place to stay, so Tang Rao actually owed him.
"I have a way to get you inside."
The Supre Power leaned close to Tang Rao's ear and shared his idea in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"You must be kidding, will that really work?"
Tang Rao was skeptical. It wasn't that he didn't trust him, but the plan was so risky that Tang Rao wasn't sure what to decide.
"You'd better make up your mind quickly; your son is still inside. His fate is in your hands."
Right, Tang Xiaobai was still inside. If Tang Rao didn't act fast, Tang Xiaobai could be in real danger.
"I agree with you."
Tang Rao thought about it and, despite the risks, decided to trust the Supre Power.
The Supre Power nodded in satisfaction, glad he had not misjudged Tang Rao.
Tang Rao didn't mishear; earlier, the Supre Power proposed to fuse with Tang Rao's body, just like the Supre Power's current state.
The Supre Power was actually only a soul; his original body was completely destroyed long ago. After many years, he found a young man similar in appearance, took over his body, and survived until now.
Now, the Supre Power wanted to enter Tang Rao's body, to fuse with him. This risk, if not for Tang Xiaobai's sake, Tang Rao would never have considered taking on.
A minute later, Tang Rao realized that his body was now controlled by two people.
"Now I'm a High God, brother. Do a favor, can you let in now?"
Tang Rao approached the young gatekeeper, who almost thought he saw a ghost.
Soone's appearance might change, but Tang Rao's power couldn't have changed. The young gatekeeper still didn't understand how Tang Rao's power level shot up that much.
"Sure, sure."
He had taken the money and said that as long as soone was a High God, they could enter. Tang Rao t the requirent; if he didn't let him in, it would be like playing Tang Rao.
Tang Rao finally got a definite answer, and once inside, he imdiately ran non-stop.
Initially planning to let the Supre Power return to his body after entering, he reconsidered when realizing that with so many masters around, the Supre Power being in Tang Rao's body ant their real bodies wouldn't be hard. If any similar situation arose in the future, this cunning trick could potentially be reused.
"Supre Power, can you determine which direction Xiaobai is now?"
Watching the Supre Power control his body, sniffing around like a dog, Tang Rao felt humiliated like never before in his life.
Even worse, after slling for so long, they gained nothing.
"I also don't know which direction he is. From the mont we entered the gate, Xiaobai vanished."
As soon as the Supre Power finished speaking, Tang Rao felt utterly defeated.
He was worried that Xiaobai might fall into the hands of the Black Demon, who could kill Li Qi Qi without blinking an eye. If he had any thoughts about Tang Xiaobai, Xiaobai might not survive it.
"My poor son, if the Black Demon really took your life, I swear I'll flay his skin white!"
Out of anger, Tang Rao punched the ground, but nothing happened, not even a dent, showing his reluctance to hurt his hand.
"Tang Rao, have you lost your mind? The Black Demon wouldn't dare co into this place. Are you thinking the Black Demon took Xiaobai away?"
The Supre Power oddly felt so sympathy for the Black Demon; it seed he'd been wrongly accused by Tang Rao for no reason.
"What do you an?"
Tang Rao didn't quite understand the Supre Power's point.
"Do you think just anyone can co in here? Besides power restrictions, the gate also limits one's ntal thod for cultivation."
The ntal thod of the Demon Realm is vastly different from a regular one, which Tang Rao knew. The only thing he hadn't known was that the place was filled with non-Demon Realm experts.
With this explanation, Tang Rao's heart settled back into his chest.
"Since you say only good people are inside, then tell , how can I find Tang Xiaobai?"
The Supre Power was at a loss; he knew only so much. Previously, he hadn't bothered to co in, and now having finally entered, he knew nothing about it.
"How am I supposed to know how to find Tang Xiaobai? All the leads are cut off. Unless you shout around, but if it causes trouble, you'll be responsible."
What the Supre Power said was essentially useless.
"Tang Rao, are you stupid or sothing? Who's the best at finding things and people, have you forgotten?"
At a critical mont, Jixing reminded Tang Rao.
Right, how could Tang Rao forget such an important detail?
"Little Hedgehog, co out."
Tang Rao brought out Little Hedgehog, who seed a bit confused.
"Tang Rao, did I do sothing wrong?"
Otherwise, why did Tang Rao's face look so unsightly?
"Tang Xiaobai has disappeared. This is his sock. Sll it and help find him."
Little Hedgehog glanced at the sky-blue sock, sniffed it closely, and obediently started searching.
Inside the gate, Tang Xiaobai's scent was indeed present. Little Hedgehog had confird this right from the start, but unfortunately, the distance was so great that finding him all at once was challenging.
"Still haven't found him?"
Tang Rao was anxious, while Little Hedgehog tentatively and slowly wandered the ground.
