683. Black Venerable White

But the problem is... even Venerable White probably didn't expect that a Four-Headed Snake Demon would descend from the sky and capture him and Shuhang.

In a way... this Four-Headed Snake Demon was very lucky. Because of the [emotion generated by that one glance], when it coiled around Venerable White, its movements were incredibly gentle, without a trace of murderous intent.

Otherwise, the Venerable White would have immediately broken through his barrier and chopped it into raw snake slices.

At this moment, the Four-Headed Snake Demon's good fortune is Song Shuhang's misfortune.

Shuhang was on the verge of tears.

Senior White has entered seclusion and won't recover for two hours. Two hours is plenty of time for him to do many things with this Nine Nether Demons he's holding, right?

The energy fluctuations emanating from the opponent were very strong, even greater than the pressure from Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor; they should be at the Sixth-Grade level.

Sixth-Grade True Lord! Most of the seniors in the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' are only at the Fifth-Grade Realm.

Song Shuhang is only at the Third-Grade Realm, how can he possibly defeat a demon at the Sixth-Grade Realm?

His full-force attack would probably be insignificant to this Nine Nether Demons, wouldn't it? Even with martial arts techniques like the Vajra Demon-Subduing Fist or the Holy Light Swordsmanship, which have elemental advantages, they would likely be ineffective given the huge level difference.

Speaking of which... so much time has passed, why haven't the seniors of the 'Nine Provinces Number One Group' caught up with us yet?

Could it be because they saw him being captured along with 'Venerable White' that the seniors in the group remained calm and no one chased after them?

How so?

No! This script is terrible!

Also, what happened to the 'good luck' he received after impressing Venerable White with his acting? He was incredibly lucky before, able to roll whatever he wanted with the dice.

Could it be that the good luck wasn't limited by time, but by the number of times it could be used, and that the number of dice rolls counted towards the "lucky number of times"?

Wait a minute, why am I still thinking about these useless things?

Calm down... calm down...

The priority now should be figuring out how to extricate oneself.

The other party is a creature from the Netherworld, carrying the 'filthy' power of the Nine Netherworld. Although Song Shuhang has Merit protecting him, if he spends too much time in contact with the Four-Headed Snake Demon, he may also be corrupted by the power of the Nine Netherworld.

Song Shuhang's brain started working at lightning speed.

Or perhaps we could try unleashing our killing intent on Venerable White; maybe that would bring him out of his seclusion?

But how do you release murderous intent?

Should I think to myself, "[Kill Senior White]", and then stare intently at Venerable White?

This is asking too much of anyone.

Or... could he try to find a way to provoke the Four-Headed Snake Demon, putting it into a fighting state, thereby stimulating the Venerable White was in seclusion?

No, no, this strange snake is at least Sixth-Grade Realm; it could crush me, a third- Third-Grade, like it's nothing.

What if the Venerable White, who is in seclusion, can't save him in time?

There's no other way; in times of crisis, you have to rely on yourself!

"Is that the only option?" Song Shuhang thought to himself. Fortunately, his hands were relatively close together when he was wrapped around by the Four-Headed Snake Demon.

Song Shuhang used his left hand to remove the [Wood Ox Swordsman's Heart Gloves] from his right hand.

Finally, he adjusted his posture and slapped his right hand onto the Four-Headed Snake Demon.

"Boy," the Four-Headed Snake Demon said coldly, "Don't try anything funny, or I won't hesitate to kill you!"

If it weren't for the much richer reward of capturing the 'remnants of the Vajra Temple's alive, he would have crushed this Third-Grade minor cultivator long ago.

No sooner had the Four-Headed Snake Demon finished speaking than suddenly, countless spurts of blood shot out from Song Shuhang's body.

"????" The Four-Headed Snake Demon were simultaneously dumbfounded. "Damn it, I didn't do anything! Why is this kid suddenly spitting out blood?"

This kid isn't using any special cultivation technique, is he?

While the Four-Headed Snake Demon coiled its body around Song Shuhang, it kept a close eye on the circulation of 'Liquefied True Qi' within his body. As soon as Song Shuhang made the slightest move, it would immediately unleash a thunderous attack.

There's something strange about this kid.

The Four-Headed Snake Demon thought for a moment and felt that it was flying at a sufficient height to avoid the human True Lord's obstruction.

So, let's take this opportunity to knock this little guy unconscious!

I have a strange feeling that this little guy is spurting blood all over his body.

At this moment, Song Shuhang had successfully completed the [Appraisal Secret Method] -- the price he paid this time was not heavy. Although he seemed to have spat out a lot of blood, he actually only suffered ten wounds, though the wounds were slightly deep and the amount of blood he spat out was relatively large.

'I absolutely must identify any weaknesses in this Four-Headed Snake Demon, or find a clue that will give me a glimmer of hope!' Song Shuhang thought to himself.

Soon, the Appraisal Secret Method relayed the information about the Four-Headed Snake Demon into Song Shuhang's mind.

[The Four-Headed Snake Monster 'Bazagu' is adept at disguise and is quite cunning compared to ordinary demons. Born in the chaotic lands of the Netherworld, it belongs to the multi-headed Snake Demon race and possesses the bloodline of the Ancient Demon Nine-Headed Serpent. Its bloodline talent: after each head is severed, a new head can regrow at a certain cost.]

Damn it, why do all snake-like monsters with multiple heads have the ability to [regenerate heads]? Does having more heads make you superior? Does having more heads mean you can just chop them up and play with them?!

[Bazagu's vital organ lies deep within its body, its heart, which possesses the ability to move freely within the body. Until its entire body is dissected, no one knows the exact location of its heart.]

It was valuable news... but it was useless to Song Shuhang. Shuhang was now attacking with all his might, but he couldn't even cut through the skin of this Four-Headed Snake Demon, let alone find its heart and kill it completely.

[Bazagu is a lustful Snake Demon. Corrupted by the Netherworld Energy, Bazagu's consciousness often descends into a near-chaotic state. To Bazagu, any handsome creature, regardless of gender, is pleasing. And those handsome creatures Bazagu become members of its harem are carefully protected. They are its treasures; no Nine Nether Demons Bazagu can harm its harem, not even the lord of Mount Rebirth Mountain.]

Could this be a 'sliver of hope'? By currying favor with this Snake Demon named Bazagu and becoming a member of its harem, can one gain a chance to survive?

Life, my ass!

Couldn't we have identified some more useful clues?

But the clues end there, not because the 'Appraisal Secret Method' was ineffective—but because this Four-Headed Snake Monster was such a simple creature.

No wonder the price paid for identifying this Rank Sixth-Grade Four-Headed Snake Demon wasn't heavy; it turns out the results weren't very useful after all.

It seems... I can't rely on myself when it really matters!

As expected, we still have to rely on Senior White!

Senior White, I'm already spitting blood like this, why aren't you awake yet?

Just then, the Four-Headed Snake Demon, who was originally about to knock Song Shuhang unconscious, suddenly stopped.

It let out a smug laugh, "Hehehehe, there's actually a passage to the Netherworld here, what an unexpected surprise!"

As it flew high in the sky, it suddenly discovered a small crevice leading to the Netherworld. Although it was small, it was enough for it to pass through.

This is fantastic!

In this way, he can immediately enter the Netherworld and bring back his spoils of war—the handsome human cultivators and the remnants of the Vajra Temple — to Rebirth Mountain!

With these two spoils of war, his trip to China was well worth it.

With a smug smile, the Four-Headed Snake Demon led Song Shuhang and Venerable White into the crevice.

Song Shuhang also sensed the crevice, and the filthy, decadent aura within it—it was the Netherworld!

The Four-Headed Snake Monster is going to take him and Senior White to the Netherworld? Oh no, if he's taken to the Netherworld, he'll be corrupted by its power in no time.

"Senior White, wake up!" Song Shuhang cried out anxiously.

If he doesn't wake up soon, I, Song, am finished.

Unfortunately, Venerable White still shows no sign of waking up... His Venerable this time is in excellent condition, completely unaffected by external influences.

"Shut up, you'd better just go to sleep." The Four-Headed Snake Demon chuckled and tightened its grip on Song Shuhang's body.

"Ouch, ouch, Senior White ~~ Wake up~~"

Immediately afterwards, Shuhang's vision went black, and he promptly passed out.

In the void, only the echo of "[Senior White ~~ Senior White ~~]" remained.

The Four-Headed Snake Demon chuckled coldly, then rolled up Song Shuhang and Venerable White again, passing through the spatial rift and landing in the Netherworld.

"Now that we're here, this is my territory, hahaha," the Four-Headed Snake Demon said smugly.

[Who is calling me?] At this moment, a heavy voice boomed in the void of the Netherworld.

The sound was like rolling thunder, approaching from afar.

Upon hearing this voice, the Four-Headed Snake Demon found its body trembling involuntarily.

In the void, a pitch-black figure silently appeared above the Four-Headed Snake Demon.

Using the dim light of the Netherworld, the serpent demon could make out the figure.

It was a figure so handsome that words could not describe it. His long, jet-black hair cascaded down his back, and his eyes shone as brightly as stars. He seemed to possess an indescribable 'charm' that drew the attention of every living being to him, making them deeply attracted to him.

The figure was dressed in a long black robe. This black robe was formed from pure Nine Netherworld power, and the purest 'evil,' the purest 'filth,' and the purest 'wickedness' appeared on it.

For some reason, the Four-Headed Snake Demon felt that the man in the sky looked vaguely familiar.

He looked down at the handsome figure whose tail was curled around him, a figure like a celestial being banished from the mortal world... equally handsome beyond description, with the same flowing black hair, and possessing the same indescribable charm.

More importantly, the two look about 80% alike.

One exudes an aura of righteousness, while the other exudes an aura of evil and filth.

The Four-Headed Snake Demon's tails went limp.

"Strange? I think I heard someone calling me just now." The figure in the sky yawned and then looked down.

Then, the figure met the gaze of the Four-Headed Snake Demon.
