"I was wondering why they insisted on having me come over even though they already have a breeder at home. Turns out, they just wanted to use me as a tool, especially when that free-loader was around."
"Oh well, seeing that the compensation they offered is rich enough, I've decided to forgive them."
"Tell me, what's your friend's current condition?"
"Does he have fangs growing in his mouth? Is his body covered in black hair? Are his nails black and how long are they now?"
Ye Bai fired off four questions in a row.
"To be honest, although I'm on good terms with that old buddy, it's been a while since we last met, so I'm not too clear on some details."
"I've heard that his wife is experiencing the exact same situation as him."
"I'll ask the butler about it later, and then we'll know what's going on."
"Ye Bai, go and take a look for me, and let me know if there's an issue."
"Everything else shouldn't be too troublesome. I'll figure out a way to handle it."
"That guy is really wealthy, and he has a lot of resources. If you think of a way to lift the curse, he definitely won't be stingy."
Chen Longzhu reminded Ye Bai.
"Don't worry, it's foolish not to take advantage when you can."
"I won't put myself in danger."
Although Ye Bai isn't great at dealing with strange and peculiar things, inside the Blood Saint's legacy lie various methods to create bizarre effects.
Ye Bai thought he might as well give it a try and see if he could help out Chen Longzhu's friend.
Not only would he get more resources for breeding pet beasts, but he would also have Chen Longzhu owe him a favor.
Chen Longzhu led Ye Bai to a much larger place.
This place was designed like an ancient imperial palace.
The floor was paved with white jade. Gosh, how much must that have cost?
It seems I haven't seen much of the world after all.
Just then, a white-haired old butler came running out hurriedly.
"Chen Longzhu, the patriarch's condition has worsened."
"He doesn't recognize anyone now, he's covered in black hair, and has started biting people."
The butler looked visibly anxious.
"Butler, this is Master Ye whom I invited. He was the one who saved my Cold Ice Glazed Dragon."
"You're the most trusted butler of the Han Family. Master Ye has some questions for you."
The butler immediately regained a composed and calm demeanor.
"Ask whatever you want, I'll tell you everything I know."
Ye Bai nodded.
"For now, restrain your patriarch, tie him up securely, and later, I need to see his current condition."
"By the way, my question is if he has fangs growing in his mouth, if his body is covered in black hair, if his nails are black, and how long they are now."
The butler thought for a moment: "The master's canines have extended, there's no black hair on his head, instead, there are things like snake scales. Some people say, the master's eyes sometimes turn into vertical pupils."
"After a while, they turn back, so some people think their eyes are deceiving them."
"The master now likes to curl up inside a coffin."
"Sometimes he stares blankly into the sky."
"And whenever he has an episode, he looks at me as if I'm a big piece of meat."
"It feels like I'm being watched by a venomous snake."
The butler's words left Ye Bai momentarily stunned.
Why does it feel like he's possessed by a Soul Snake?
After a Soul Snake reaches Tier Five, it injects its essence into humans for ascension.
Using the human's body to steal their lifespan, they eventually ascend to Tier Six with the human's vitality.
"And your madam?"
"Is she in the same situation as your master?"
Ye Bai continued to ask.
The butler nodded: "Yes, it's exactly the same as the master."
Off to the side, Chen Longzhu asked worriedly: "Ye Bai, is there any hope for my old friend?"
"I sense that there's little hope for him."
"Don't panic, don't panic, I can only confirm once I see him in person." Ye Bai shook his head.
Indeed, the Soul Snake is a very unique exotic beast; it lacks a physical form and only has a soul.
Its soul can reside in a human body, absorbing human souls to enhance its strength.
After the butler led everyone to meet Chen Longzhu's old friend, Ye Bai revealed a knowing expression.
The man in front of them was extremely thin, almost reduced to a skeleton.
In the white of his eyes were two black dots.
At his temple, something seemed to be wriggling beneath the skin.
"Do I need to do anything?"
The butler asked with utmost eagerness.
"I need a large amount of Attribute Crystal Stones, the more and higher the quality, the better."
"I also need a very rare bird-type exotic beast for a live sacrifice."
"Thank you, butler. Please arrange these first, I'll need them later."
Ye Bai was then pulled aside to a side chamber by Chen Longzhu.
"Ye Bai, are you really confident?"
"The Han Family's influence is no small matter."
"If you're not confident, let's not proceed with the treatment."
"I'll smooth things over with the Han Family, they won't make things difficult for you."
At this moment, Ye Bai smiled.
"This matter is both tricky and simple."
"Chen Long Pillar, you should know the Sixty-Ninth Pillar Demon God, Dan Kalabi."
Chen Long Pillar nodded, the Dan Kalabi was a demon god summoned by the Blood Saint lineage.
But what does this Dan Kalabi have to do with Ye Bai? Could it be that Ye Bai wants to summon Dan Kalabi?
This is too risky.
"Sorry, Ye Bai, this risk is a bit too high."
"I'm afraid it would have a bad influence on you."
"This is, after all, a secret technique of the Blood Saints. If others know, they will consider you a spy sent by Hell."
Chen Long Pillar said to Ye Bai, gritting his teeth.
Though he regretted not being able to cure his childhood friend's illness, he couldn't take down Ye Bai. He was a rising star that shouldn't fall here.
"The summoning array for Dan Kalabi, I accidentally discovered it in an ancient book."
"The more valuable the gems needed, the better, and rare and beautiful bird beasts are indispensable."
"Rest assured, Chen Long Pillar, everything is under my control, please give me some confidence."
On one side is the nation's righteousness, and on the other is childhood feelings.
Certainly, Chen Long Pillar knew what to choose.
But Ye Bai did not want to leave. He felt the opportunity was rare.
This was a justified chance for him to summon Dan Kalabi.
Demons and devils are the true masters of handling souls.
The patriarch of this Han Family, his soul is already full of holes. Only Dan Kalabi, who toys with souls, might have a chance to save him.
"So currently, the decision rests in my hands. I decide to summon Dan Kalabi."
"Let the steward quickly bring the items."
Once everything was ready, Ye Bai used a fine spell pen to draw a pentagram on the ground.
The pentagram was surrounded by a large circle.
At the tip of each point of the pentagram was a circle.
Ye Bai placed the top-grade attribute crystal stones in the circles, and inside the pentagram, he also drew a large circle.
"Chen Long Pillar, I plan to open the Gate of Hell here and summon the Sixty-Ninth Pillar Demon God, Dan Kalabi."
"The summoning ritual knows no borders, but those who summon demons do."
"We shouldn't think all who summon demons and devils are bad people."
"Many have fought their entire lives for the Flame Country."
Chen Long Pillar moved to a secluded corner, where he could observe Ye Bai's every move.
Ye Bai was a disciple of Master Jiang, who dedicated his life to the Flame Country, so Chen Long Pillar naturally trusted Ye Bai.
The true object of his distrust was the Demon God Dan Kalabi.
In his eyes, demon gods are sinister and cunning creatures.
"Great Demon God, Dan Kalabi."
"Here, I offer you sufficient sacrifices."
"I hope your radiance can fully descend upon the world."
"You are the eternal god of this world."
"I offer eternal crystals and the supreme sacrificial offerings."
"I earnestly await your descent."
Various crystal stones were consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Probably because the energy in the crystals was too abundant.
Energy gathered in the void, forming the illusory shape of a dark portal.
Two sinister demon skulls hung on the door as handles.
The Gate of Hell silently cracked open slightly, appearing somewhat eerie.
People show expressions of fear toward the unknown.
Chen Long Pillar displayed a worried expression, what if demons crossed through this Gate of Hell into Blue Star?
At this moment, Chen Long Pillar was somewhat panicked, especially since the ritual had already started. Interrupting it midway could expose Ye Bai to a demon's curse.
The darkness writhed like a living creature, seeping out the Netherworld's decaying aura from the crack in the Gate of Hell.
The heavy illusory shadow of the Gate of Hell slowly opened under the influence of an invisible force, as if even time stagnated at this moment.
Behind the door lay endless darkness and silence, yet it exuded a suffocating oppression, as if countless demons were hiding behind the door watching them.
Chen Long Pillar felt his skin crawl.
Was the power of a demon god that terrifying?
Dan Kalabi could sense Ye Bai was summoning him.
"Strange, why is this guy summoning me again?"
"Could he have encountered another difficult problem."
Being frequently summoned to Blue Star, doesn't he have any dignity as a demon god?
At this moment, Dan Kalabi felt a vast amount of attribute energy converging within his body.
Meanwhile, an exceptionally beautiful bird beast appeared before him.
This beast had a sharp beak, a lone leg, enveloped in bluish flame.
"Not bad, this collection is nice, he put effort into it."
"For both public and private reasons, I should go, to show that I won't let Ye Bai down."
A massive shadow rose from the fissure, its form twisted, resembling both man and beast, exuding a chilling malevolence.
Countless black mists erupted from the Gate of Hell, solidifying mid-air into the shape of Dan Kalabi.
The Sixty-Ninth Pillar Demon God, Dan Kalabi descended once again.
This response speed, it's indeed stronger than certain customer services.
