Chapter 146: You Xiyue Goes to the Demon Realm

You Xiyue turned her head and blinked. "I always have to go and find out if there's a way."

"I..."

Jun Yang wanted to say he would go with You Xiyue, but hesitated. He knew nothing about the Demon Realm, and going there would probably only cause trouble for her.

You Xiyue smiled. "I'll be back soon."

With that, she turned and vanished from the immortal courtyard.

Muffled groans from Song Bai drifted continuously from the bedroom where he was undergoing treatment.

Jun Yang knew there was nothing he could do to help.

He stood in place, raising his head to look at the snow-filled sky.

The entrance to the Demon Realm was located in the Divine Realm.

It was a colossal, bottomless dry well.

The dark demonic Qi drifting up from the depths of the well from time to time was enough to make anyone recoil in fear.

The Demon Realm was no smaller than the Immortal Cultivation World.

This was the very reason why the Demon Realm and immortal cultivators had been locked in a fierce, unending struggle for years.

It was only in recent years that things had suddenly quieted down, leaving everyone wondering what greater conspiracy they were plotting.

You Xiyue stood by the edge of the well, looking down, and was about to jump in.

Suddenly, someone grabbed her.

The person dragged her away from the dry well with great speed, fleeing into a distant forest.

"Are you insane?" the person demanded.

You Xiyue raised her eyes and realized it was Yue Si, the Thousand-Face Demon Lord who had been missing for a long time.

"Not insane," You Xiyue replied expressionlessly.

"You're not insane and you're going to jump into that well??"

Yue Si looked at You Xiyue in bewilderment. "Do you have any idea what's inside that well? You're not a demon, yet you dare to jump in so carelessly??"

You Xiyue frowned. "I wasn't jumping carelessly."

"..."

Yue Si gave You Xiyue a complex look. If she wasn't jumping carelessly, did that mean she was jumping cautiously?

"The demonic entities inside that well will instantly identify you as an immortal cultivator and attack you. By the time you reach the bottom in the Demon Realm, you'll already be surrounded by the various demon clans."

"Is that so?" You Xiyue said indifferently.

Yue Si perplexedly scanned You Xiyue's expression. How could she remain so calm when he had already put it that way?

"Why on earth do you want to go to the Demon Realm?" Yue Si asked out of curiosity.

"To find a way to save someone."

"..." Yue Si looked at You Xiyue with even greater strangeness.

This was the first time he had ever heard of anyone going to the Demon Realm to find a way to save someone. The Demon Realm only ever had ways to harm people, didn't it?

"What kind of life-saving method could the Demon Realm possibly have?"

Yue Si couldn't help asking.

You Xiyue raised her eyes and said earnestly, "Do you know about the Demon-Expelling Needle?"

Yue Si nodded. "I do."

You Xiyue took out the Demon-Expelling Needle from her cosmos sack—the very one that had been embedded in Song Bai.

"Have you ever seen this kind of Demon-Expelling Needle?"

"..." Yue Si stared in utter shock at the long and not-at-all-thin Demon-Expelling Needle.

This looked completely different from any Demon-Expelling Needle he had ever seen before.

The ones he had seen were much finer, and the needles could move along with the bloodstream.

Once it reached the heart vessel, the demon would be on the verge of death.

This needle...

Yue Si shook his head. "Never seen it... Are you sure this is for expelling demons?? Aren't you just going to kill a demon directly with this??"

You Xiyue was in no mood to joke with Yue Si, her expression growing increasingly solemn.

Yue Si also turned serious, sensing that if he kept joking around, demonic Qi might actually seep right out of You Xiyue's face.

"I've truly never seen this kind of Demon-Expelling Needle. Where did it come from?"

Yue Si reached out to pick up the needle, but the moment he touched it, he was severely burned and quickly withdrew his hand.

"Why is this needle so powerful?"

Yue Si couldn't help taking two steps back.

He was, after all, a Demon Lord of the Demon Realm, yet he had been so easily burned by this needle.

If this were actually driven into someone's body, it would either kill them or leave them half-dead.

"You're taking this Demon-Expelling Needle to the Demon Realm?? Are you planning to start a war?"

You Xiyue put the Demon-Expelling Needle back into her cosmos sack and said in a heavy tone, "I want to go to the Demon Realm to find the method to refine and neutralize this Demon-Expelling Needle."

"The method to refine this Demon-Expelling Needle??"

Yue Si rubbed his chin and thought for a moment. "If it were an ordinary Demon-Expelling Needle, I might have a way, but I've never even seen one like yours, and I can't even touch it. I really have no way."

You Xiyue's frown deepened as she stared blankly at Yue Si.

Could it be that the Demon Realm at the Divine Realm entrance was still different from the demonic entities in the Void Profound Realm?

"Have you ever heard of the Void Profound Realm?" You Xiyue suddenly asked.

Yue Si was somewhat dazed by the question. "Void Profound Realm?? What kind of place is that?? It sounds quite mysterious."

Hearing Yue Si's answer, You Xiyue became even more certain that the Demon Realm at the Divine Realm had little to no connection with the Void Profound Realm.

"Never mind."

You Xiyue turned to leave.

Only to be called back by Yue Si.

"Wait."

"What?"

You Xiyue turned around, looking at Yue Si with puzzlement.

As if suddenly recalling something, Yue Si had a flash of realization. "I remember there seems to be a gate leading to the Void Profound Hell inside our Demon Master's secret chamber."

"Void Profound Hell?" You Xiyue asked. "What kind of place is that?"

Yue Si recalled, "It seems to be an extremely terrifying place, because every time our Demon Master goes in there, he comes out covered in injuries. Every time he gets hurt, it takes him ten days to half a month to recover. I was actually waiting for him to go in there so I could take the opportunity to take revenge after he came back injured, but unfortunately he hasn't been in there lately."

"So you've never been inside either?"

Yue Si shook his head and spread his hands. "If our Demon Master comes out looking like that after going in, I'd probably go in and never come out."

"Is that so?"

You Xiyue suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked toward the well again.

"You can't be serious? Do you actually want to go and check out that Void Profound Hell in our Demon Master's secret chamber??"

Yue Si wore a look of utter shock.

Yet You Xiyue's expression clearly meant exactly that.

"Can't I go?" You Xiyue asked with a raised eyebrow.

Was this a matter of whether she could go or not?

"Can you even get there??" Yue Si asked with a lack of confidence.

You Xiyue was certain. "I can get there, it's just..."

"It's just what??"

Yue Si had a very ominous premonition.

"It's just that the Demon Realm might be thrown into a bit of chaos."

"..."

Yue Si felt he completely failed to comprehend You Xiyue's train of thought.

"Are you really going?..."

Before Yue Si could finish his sentence, You Xiyue had already flashed to the edge of the well and leaped straight in.

"No way!!!"

Yue Si stood frozen in shock, before hurriedly snapping out of it and giving chase.

You Xiyue brandished the Yueying Sword to fend off the attacks of the demonic entities coming from all directions.

The Yunxi Silk ribbon surged forward to lead the charge.

Having been to the Wuji Abyss, You Xiyue felt that the demons in this well were nothing particularly special.

Of course, the Yunxi Silk felt this most profoundly.

The moment You Xiyue landed at the bottom of the well, she indeed saw the hordes of demons swarming toward her.

At this point, no one with a higher cultivation base than Yue Si seemed to have arrived yet.

You Xiyue didn't give that group of demons any chance to speak at all, charging straight at them.

The leading demon had only managed to utter two words of his opening line before he was sent flying.

All that managed to come out was: "Audacious... im... mor... tal..."

Then, with a loud bang, there was no continuation.

"!!!!"

This person is here to cause trouble, beat her up!!!

A swarm of demons surged forward together.
