Chapter 104: Chapter 79: Little Turtle’s Identity

"I was wrong!"

The Yellow-skinned Old Immortal bowed repeatedly, about to kowtow and beg for mercy.

The suction force vanished in an instant.

It wasn’t that Su Chen had let it go, but that the illusory Magic Crystal inside him seemed to have reached its limit and suddenly shattered.

His Qi and blood, which had been merged, separated once more.

He could no longer use the Immortal Skill.

Just then, the Great Demon Fiend finally understood. The strange behavior of the evil spirits in the ruined temple earlier had been a warning: this kid was not to be trifled with.

"Damn it!"

"Don’t you have mouths? Why didn’t you tell me, your Lord Immortal!"

The Yellow-skinned Old Immortal cursed angrily. Its eyes filled with terror, its courage shattered by Su Chen, it turned and fled, disappearing into the vast, rainy night.

’Don’t run!’

’Turtle is hungry!’

Inside the Sword Box, the Ink Jade Little Turtle scrambled on its four short legs, chasing after the giant Weasel Demon.

"Are you all not leaving yet?"

Su Chen’s gaze swept over the evil spirits in the temple.

In an instant, as if waking from a dream, they scattered in a panic.

They left behind only seven Immortal Stones glowing with an azure light on the ground, which Su Chen picked up.

"Master Xu, are you very strong?"

Only Cyan Sparrow was slow to realize what had happened, her expression filled with confusion.

"Not at all."

"Master Xu is indeed just an ordinary Eunuch."

"Have you forgotten?"

"I know a little bit of cultivation, too."

"It’s just that those few ordinary Eunuchs in the temple earlier were too weak. Even that weasel was just a minor demon."

Su Chen said, ruffling Cyan Sparrow’s hair.

"Oh, so that’s how it is."

Cyan Sparrow’s face lit up with understanding.

No wonder. She had felt that the Weasel Demon looked imposing but was all bark and no bite, getting scared off for no apparent reason.

’So it was just a minor demon, not that strong after all.’

And, ’those Eunuchs looked so formidable, and they were even escorting an imperial consort and a Prince. Turns out they were just weak, ordinary Eunuchs.’

Three at the First Grade, one at the Peak. Four "ordinary Eunuchs" standing at the apex of Mortal Cultivation, and a "minor demon" at the level of a Great Demon Fiend.

In the entire Human World, there were few who could refer to them in such a way, but Su Chen, the Wind Snow Sword Immortal, was definitely one of them.

’The Seeking Immortality Skill?’

Su Chen opened his palm and looked at the pitch-black, round pearl. He could faintly see a tiny weasel inside it.

This was the result of the first transformation, "Immortal"—the lifespan and Demon Fiend cultivation plundered from the Yellow-skinned Old Immortal.

It looked...

a bit like the Four Holy Pearls.

The wind and rain began to subside.

Holding an umbrella, Su Chen led Cyan Sparrow onto the carriage, ready to continue their journey.

"This is..."

Su Chen stopped. In front of the ruined temple’s entrance, he pinched a bit of black soil, his eyes turning cold.

This black soil had been brought by the Yellow-skinned Old Immortal. It was cold, damp, and carried a Yin Qi that normal soil could not possess.

Only the Imperial Mausoleum had it.

To be precise.

This was soil from the Great Yu Imperial Mausoleum.

’Did the Yellow-skinned Old Immortal go and dig up the Great Yu Imperial Mausoleum? Was that its own idea, or the will of Demon Mountain?’

’The next time I see this Weasel Demon, I’ll have to ask it about this properly.’

However, Su Chen didn’t know that he would never get the chance.

「Ten li away.」

"Where did this little bastard come from? How dare you block the path of your Lord Immortal?"

"Get lost!"

The Weasel Demon roared in fury, trying to kick away the palm-sized Ink Jade Little Turtle that had appeared from nowhere.

BOOM!

The Ink Jade Little Turtle swelled against the wind, its ferocious nature revealed. With its enormous mouth, it swallowed the Yellow-skinned Old Immortal in a single gulp.

"You’re... Moun..."

The Yellow-skinned Old Immortal stared at the giant turtle’s form, its soul nearly scattering in terror. It opened its mouth to scream.

Blood splattered everywhere!

The Great Demon Fiend had fallen!

BURP!

The Little Turtle shrank back to its Ink Jade Little Turtle form, let out a satisfied burp, nodded in contentment, and lazily ambled back toward the ruined temple, neck held high.

’Full.’

’Great Demon Fiends are still the tastiest.’

「A long while later.」

In the wind and rain, the Little Turtle stared at the empty, ruined temple, completely bewildered.

*SOB SOB~*

’Turtle hasn’t gotten on the carriage yet! How could they forget Turtle again!’

The Little Turtle grew anxious.

It scurried about on its four short legs, sniffing here and there, then started trotting in pursuit toward the Jinjiang River.

「Far away, in the direction of the Imperial Mausoleum.」

The First-Grade Demon Fiends, who had rushed over to provide support only after the Little Turtle had left, fell silent.

"Did you see that vicious turtle just now?"

"It looked..."

"How did it... look a little like Lord Mountain Master?"

"Could it be... the very egg that the Mountain Master was digging so deep into the Imperial Mausoleum to find...?"
