Demon Cultivator in Abyssal Era

”Murder Ghost.”

Seeing this scene, Jiang Miaoyin’s face turned serious.

Chu Xiu calmly withdrew his gaze and said lightly, ”Let’s keep going.”

This time, it was just an ordinary spirit puppet.

Although the spirit puppet’s stealth capability had significantly improved after advancing to the tier of Heroic Spirit, for the current Chu Xiu, as long as it wasn’t the true body coming in person, it could be easily detected.

The opponent, of course, knew this too, so this ambush was most likely just a probe.

However, even if it was just a probe, this persistent entanglement and harassment made Chu Xiu frown with some displeasure.

”We still need to get rid of this guy sooner.”

Of course, Chu Xiu was not careless either.

The Murder Ghost’s talents were strong, and more importantly, being the trusted Extreme Dao of the Outer Realm Demon, it might have some unimaginable trump cards.

Chu Xiu would not lower his guard just because his power had now reached the level of Demigod.

Next, he sat cross-legged on the back of the Garuda, expanded his divine sense, and led the Demon-Exorcising Race people toward the city where the domain ghostly creatures resided.

On this journey, they didn’t encounter any obstacles; the only noteworthy point was that the path they had previously opened had significantly changed due to geological movements, causing them to detour and take almost three days to reach their destination.

This is the special nature of the Hundred Demons Melting Furnace World, where the three-dimensional structure continuously changes the internal passages under the influence of gravity, with only a few places remaining stable for long periods.

And these places mostly became areas of Yin Qi settling, either cities of the Demon-Exorcising Race or what they called ”Pocket Worlds.”

Chu Xiu didn’t mind; he used this time to ritualistically prepare the Ghostly Legion and Purgatory Demon Corpse.

”Brother Qin!”

As the two of them approached the city from above, they saw a figure flying toward them from a distance.

”Brother Zhao.” Chu Xiu clasped his fists in greeting.

Zhao Jie obviously had already heard from other sources about the Jiang Family wanting to keep the Demon-Exorcising Race, so he was not at all surprised to see the magnificent procession of Instantaneous and ghostly creatures behind them, and he simply smiled and said, ”Brother Qin, how long will it take for you to handle this matter? We should still set off early to eliminate the Murder Ghost before it drags on too long.”

Chu Xiu nodded, ”Rest assured, Brother Zhao, I’ll be quick.”

With that, he selected a few of the top-ranking Demon-Exorcising Race members and, along with Jiang Miaoyin, flew toward the divine hall below the city.

When he walked into the divine hall, the fog within seemed to sense something and automatically parted to the sides, revealing a passage, at the end of which, a boy embodying the domain ghostly creature was waiting eagerly for them.

Upon seeing the Demon-Exorcising Race members beside Chu Xiu, he was filled with ecstatic joy and quickly approached, grabbing the leading elder and carefully scrutinizing the elder.

This scene seemed a bit peculiar—a boy holding an elder’s hand, his eyes full of the affection of an elder.

And the elder didn’t feel uncomfortable at all; instead, he was so overwhelmed with emotion that he burst into tears.

The domain ghostly creature used the language specific to their Demon-Exorcising Race to inquire in detail about the situation of several tribes. Although he had already heard some of these things from the previously rescued Demon-Exorcising Race member, he still asked them patiently and then meticulously explained some matters needing attention.

This city was a rare stable place seldom altered by geological changes, with constant Yin Qi settling, making it a perfect place for the Demon-Exorcising Race to inhabit.

Over the past two thousand years, the domain ghostly creature had been constantly thinking about how to revive Demon-Exorcising Civilization, having made many arrangements within the divine hall that would help the Demon-Exorcising Race grow rapidly at an astonishing speed in the initial stage.

He was like an elderly person giving farewell instructions, advising everyone on the necessary matters repeatedly.

Chu Xiu did not disturb the crowd, and only after almost half an hour passed did he direct a gaze toward the domain ghostly creature.

No words were needed; the other party knew it was time.

His soul body darted out of the divine hall, taking one last lingering look at the remaining members of his race, then returned into the divine hall, telling the others, ”My time has come to leave; there will be no time for reunions in the future.”

”I must remind you of one last thing: forget the past grievances and focus on the development at present.”

”Don’t think of avenging the ancestors from two thousand years ago; those grudges are merely burdensome drags for the living. You must cooperate well with the Human Race; seeing the presence of the Demon-Exorcising Race reappearing on this land is the best tribute to the deceased.”

”Do you understand? Promise me!”

Upon his words, the high-ranking members of the Demon-Exorcising Race were already in tears, repeatedly agreeing.

However, Chu Xiu still saw the hidden resentment and unwillingness in some people’s eyes.

Even this resentment and unwillingness might grow and intensify in the future; the more rights humans grant them, the more they might yearn for former glory.

This seems to be quite a peculiar matter, but such is the human heart.

But Chu Xiu didn’t mind; dealing with the Demon-Exorcising Race was the Jiang Family’s matter. What he cared about now was the domain ghostly creature’s promise.

”Sir, please follow me.”

After letting others leave the divine hall, the domain ghostly creature led Chu Xiu all the way to the deepest part of the divine hall.

With a wave of his hand, all the Yin Qi in the divine hall dispersed, and the illusion lingering there dissipated like foam, the splendid hall vanished, revealing cold, rough stone pillars.
