Chapter 887 585: The Game Changer?
Du Yu was a bit puzzled, his words also somewhat strained: "You... You're not asking me to go burn the Bottomless Abyss below the Kunlun Divine Tree, are you?"Divine Tree: "That's right!"
Du Yu: "..."
You speak so lightly,
Open your eyes and look at me!
Am I worthy?
In this Bottomless Pit here, I was whipped by the Youhan Tree, my body almost shattered.
If I were to take a whip in the Kunlun Realm...
No need to say anything more, let's meet at the next exam!
This burst of Demon Fire completely messed up Du Yu's plan.
Du Yu's biggest asset was his incredibly fast growth rate.
In less than two years, he was already approaching the status of a Demon Taming General. In Du Yu's expectations, if given more time, he could face Kunlun-Bottomless more calmly.
But now...
Divine Tree: "You should know, in this world, there is only one Twin Tree."
Du Yu: "Yes, I know. All other Twin Trees are branches of the Kunlun Divine Tree."
The Divine Tree was satisfied and continued: "The burning here in this Bottomless Pit can only alleviate the crisis here."
Du Yu caught onto the Divine Tree's logic: "Shoot the man, shoot the horse; capture the thief, capture the king?"
Divine Tree: "The Cold Tree inside the Bottomless Abyss of the Kunlun Realm is the main body of all the Youhan Trees in this world.
Human Race, if you can use this fire to assist me in gaining the upper hand in the Kunlun Realm...
Then the crisis of this world can be alleviated!"
Gain the upper hand?
Du Yu keenly captured a term.
So, the Kunlun Divine Tree is currently strained, could it really be unable to hold?
This means there's no choice but to go!
Where can one find intact eggs under a fallen nest?
Du Yu took a deep breath and said gravely: "Alright, I understand."
Divine Tree: "Rest assured, I will do my utmost to protect you completely."
Du Yu nodded heavily: "Mm!"
The Divine Tree's solemn promise made Du Yu a bit more at ease.
Kunlun Realm!
The origin place of the Great Xia Demon Spirit Civilization, the true holy land for all beings.
Also the potential location of Little Fen Yang's lost Residual Soul!
Once there, after assisting, could he use this favor to ask the Kunlun Divine Tree about the situation?
Or, should he be cautious and try a roundabout approach first.
After all, until now, Du Yu and Little Fen Yang were still in an ambiguous relationship.
Ah... Just take it one step at a time.
Divine Tree: "Withdraw your flames, Human Race, hurry to the Kunlun Realm."
Du Yu turned and looked at the figure that truly put his mind at ease: "Master Qing."
"Mm." Yang Qingqing turned her head, only to see her disciple's Demon Soul approaching, the phantom hand merging with her hand.
Demon Soul Du Yu: "Master Qing, the Divine Tree invited me to Kunlun."
Yang Qingqing was stunned: "Kunlun?"
Du Yu sighed: "Ah, the Divine Tree wants me to burn in a different place."
Yang Qingqing: "..."
Du Yu continued to convey his thoughts: "The Divine Tree promised to do its best to protect me completely and urged me to set off soon."
Yang Qingqing took a deep breath and nodded silently.
There's no choice but to go!
"Let's go, I'll accompany you." Yang Qingqing said gravely, raising a hand to her ear, contacting the outside world, "We're heading out."
Du Yu and Lin Shiwei flew up together, closely following behind.
With no more Cold Qi, the surroundings were once again engulfed in a sea of flames, Lin Shiwei's visible range was extremely far.
As she cautiously observed the surroundings, her gaze swept past Master Qing and she called out: "Aunt, you're still wearing your robe."
"Mm." Yang Qingqing came back to her senses, her Demon Breath surged.
Immediately, she donned a purple Bamboo Leaf Cloak, wore a purple Bamboo Leaf Conical Hat on her head, and picked up a purple Bamboo Stick in her hand.
On a normal day, Du Yu might have had the mind to admire this.
But at this moment...
"Du Yu, Du Yu~" In his mind came the voice of Little Fen Yang.
"Mm?"
Little Fen Yang: "Are we going to see the Kunlun Divine Tree?"
Du Yu: "Yes, with the Divine Tree's protection this time, we can find an opportunity to try looking for your Residual Soul.
Moreover, you mentioned before that you burned a tree with Demon Fire?"
"Du Yu, maybe don't think about those things right now."
"Why?"
Little Fen Yang's charming voice held a hint of worry: "You should prioritize your safety first.
If you're gone, I'll have nothing left."
Du Yu instinctively opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Little Fen Yang's voice grew smaller and even seemed to retreat: "Maybe... maybe we shouldn't go?"
Du Yu pondered silently for a while, then responded in his mind: "Fen Yang, I am a Demon Tamer of Great Xia.
Regarding the Kunlun Divine Tree's invitation, we have no way to refuse it.
Don't worry, the Divine Tree promised to protect us well."
Little Fen Yang: "But, but..."
It might be fatal.
If we're not careful, it really could be fatal!
Little Fen Yang's worry was not unfounded.
The Kunlun Realm is the main battlefield of the two civilizations; it's simply not a place any living being should approach!
Not to mention a little Great Demon Tamer like Du Yu, even the Supreme Golden Crow, what happened?
Wasn't it wiped out?
The grand Golden Crow Great Power was shattered into thousands of Papercraft Cranes, fleeing across half of Great Xia, finding solace in a single evening.
As soon as Little Fen Yang heard that Du Yu was going to Kunlun, how could she be at ease?
Du Yu comforted, "Before we go, let's bring the Celestial Cyan Porcelain along as a safeguard."
"Crack!" A thunderclap startled the master and the crow.
Du Yu looked up to see Master Qing holding a purple Hollow Bamboo, summoning lightning from the sky.
A massive bolt of lightning struck a Red Mud Fire Stove, forcibly knocking the Cold Beast down.
Du Yu summoned the Divine Ghost Firefly, while Lin Shiwei called forth the Ghost Yingluo.
The three disciples charged upwards, fighting their way through.
The facts revealed that once the Bottomless Pit was cleared of the obstructing Cold Qi, the danger significantly decreased!
Soon, the trio soared hundreds of meters high, reaching the end of the flaming leaf corridor.
Here, Du Yu and the others encountered a squad of imposing soldiers.
"Master Qing." A woman in a Black Raincoat bowed respectfully, her head lowered in greeting.
Her cold voice had an extra charm compared to Lin Shiwei's.
Seeing their Captain Jiang pay respects, several soldiers in the rear also spoke up, "Master Qing."
"Xiaofeng?" Yang Qingqing was a bit surprised, not expecting to meet her long-lost disciple here.
Jiang Feng's emotionless face showed a faint smile, "Rescuing comrades is naturally a task for our troops."
Yang Qingqing raised a finger, touching the brim of her Conical Hat, "Long time no see."
Jiang Feng remained formal, "I heard you're leaving, Master Qing. About this flame…"
From behind, Du Yu spoke up, "I'll take it back."
For a moment, their gazes intertwined.
Yang Qingqing: "This is your senior sister, Jiang Feng."
Du Yu was stunned; he thought she was a veteran comrade of Master Qing.
Only then did he realize he was meeting Master Qing's primary disciple.
Du Yu first heard of this mysterious disciple when he initially joined the Twenty-Ninth Bureau.
At that time, Master Qing joined with five disciples, and Director Shu specifically asked why one skilled disciple hadn't joined.
"Hello, Senior Sister."
"Hello, Senior Sister." Du Yu and Lin Shiwei immediately greeted her, curiously observing her.
Jiang Feng, similar in age to Master Qing, was also tall with a neat high ponytail, exuding a lethal aura.
The Tang Blade on her back gleamed with a sharp cold light.
Particularly striking were her long and narrow eyes, with pupils dark as pitch.
Most Great Xia people's eyes are brownish, but Senior Sister Jiang Feng's eyes were eerily black.
A chilling and eerie presence emanated from her.
Du Yu almost mistook her for Old Demon Gong...
"Hello," Jiang Feng was very friendly, but her ominous gaze made Du Yu feel uncomfortable.
Most likely, her uniquely shaped eyes were due to her using the Demon Skill· Fire Ghost's Eye?
Goodness~
Isn't this Little Shiwei's future?
This is it, watching Little Shiwei later will send shivers down my spine too.
"I'm going to take back the flame." Du Yu turned around, placing a hand on the leaf wall.
"Whoosh~"
All around, gray flames surged towards Du Yu's palm.
The scene was quite spectacular, albeit somewhat worrying.
Such a magnitude of flame, might it burst Du Yu open?
Even if not, the flame had burned away endless Cold Qi; might Du Yu be infected?
The facts revealed... he wouldn't be.
The Cold Qi would naturally be digested by the Silent Extinction Grey Demon Flame.
And the Demon Fire would be received by Little Fen Yang.
Du Yu was merely a walking spirit orb...
The soldiers were secretly amazed, watching the gray flames surge like a tide toward Du Yu.
Minutes later, the Bottomless Pit plunged into darkness.
Only the Night Fire Cage, Ghost Firefly, and a few Demon Pets illuminated the black leaf corridor.
"Well done, Junior Brother." Jiang Feng gazed at Du Yu from afar, praising.
Yang Qingqing suddenly spoke, "Let's go."
Jiang Feng immediately obeyed, turned to look at the team, slightly nodding ahead, "Clear the way."
With a few elite soldiers guarding them, the journey back to the surface was exceptionally smooth.
During the return, Senior Sister Jiang Feng also conversed with Master Qing, but using Demon Souls, unbeknownst to others.
However, the beautiful and chic Senior Sister Jiang Feng and the gracefully celestial Master Qing both glanced at Du Yu.
Du Yu naturally sensed this, but he was too heavy-hearted to consider it.
Unexpectedly, Senior Sister Jiang Feng gazed at him several more times, a strange gleam flickering in her jet-black eyes.
It made Du Yu feel oddly unsettled.
Hmm...
Until they reached the door of the first layer of Bottomless, and the heavy Stone Gate slowly opened, a gentle patter of rain entered their ears.
Climbing the steps, Du Yu witnessed a grand scene.
Countless soldiers stood solemnly in the rain, guarding the surroundings of the gate as they welcomed several out.
Interestingly, Du Yu seemed like he was blending in with the squad.
Be it the uniformed elite soldiers, or Master Qing in Bamboo Leaf Cloak and Conical Hat, or Lin Shiwei covered in Black Python, all were dignified.
Only Du Yu in ragged gray sportswear,
and stained with blood, looked like he'd been beaten quite badly...
"Director Yang." A soldier led several leader-like figures swiftly forward.
Yang Qingqing also nodded in acknowledgment, immediately engaging, and stated the intention of the Divine Tree.
The news she delivered thoroughly shook the forces.
For the first time, the Twin Divine Trees had sent a clear and complete distress signal to the Human Race!
And personally invited Du Yu to the Kunlun Realm!
This caused not only Senior Sister to secretly glance at Du Yu, but the military leaders negotiating with Yang Qingqing also turned to Du Yu.
Regarding Du Yu, the "First Paper Crane Disciple," everyone was more than familiar.
Two years ago, this youth burst onto the scene, leaving behind many astounding stories in a short time.
At this moment, the invitation from the Mother of the Demon Spirit Civilization· Kunlun Divine Tree added a legendary touch to Du Yu's presence.
So, the Paper Crane Disciple...
Is it truly Heaven's favor to Great Xia, gifting humanity a way to break through?
