Chapter 1077: Stalking
Chapter 1077 Tracking
Seemingly not hearing the tentative intent in the other party’s words, Xu Chunniang nodded lightly.
“Foster Abyss City for sixteen years, it’s not easy to restore my cultivation, the magic crystals on my body have been consumed, it’s time to go out of the city to earn some magic crystals.”
A smile appeared on Snake Mal’s face, “Then I’ll wish you a smooth trip.”
After seeing Xu Chuniang off, she flipped out the jade talisman she was carrying and reported the latest news to Long Yu.
“My lord, she said that she wants to leave the city, nine times out of ten, she will head over to the west city gate, should I follow?”
In the jade talisman, Long Yu’s reply was quickly transmitted.
“No need, I’ve already made other arrangements for the west city gate side, if you rashly follow her, if you are accidentally bumped into by her, you will instead cause the other side to be wary, just stay put and wait for orders.”
“Yes.”
Snake Mal reluctantly pinched the jade talisman, but he also knew that his lordship’s arrangement was correct.
With this amount of cultivation, even if she followed, she wouldn’t be able to play much of a role.
It would be better to honestly stay in the city and wait for good news from His Excellency.
Snake Mal lightly breathed a sigh of relief and secretly laughed at herself for being too nervous.
He had waited for six years, but he couldn’t wait for these last few days?
On the other hand, Xu Chuniang went to the market first and used the only twenty thousand magic crystals she had on her body to buy a half-new Astral Questioning Disk from a vendor.
The astrolabe was able to point out the direction in the void, and with it, one wouldn’t get lost in the void, making it a must-have for cultivators in the city to leave the city.
After buying the Stargazer, Xu Chuniang found the store that offered the Soul Transformation Scatter and Soul Ying Stone, and offered some other magical materials from the Wusui Mysterious Realm, exchanging them for a large amount of magical crystals.
And it was only afterward that she unhurriedly made her way to the Western City Gate, joining a mediocre demon hunting team near the gate.
Soon after she joined the team, two more Earth Demons joined the team, and the ten-member squad was instantly full.
After registering the names and cultivation levels of a few people, the devil cultivator in charge of recruitment rushed to Xu Chuniang and the other newly joined trio to explain.
“Your leader is Senior Shattered Candle of the Heavenly Demon Middle Realm, the time to leave the city is tentatively set for one hour later, in addition to Senior Shattered Candle, there are two other Senior Shattered Demons of the Heavenly Demon Beginner Realm who will accompany the team to go out to the city to hunt for demons.
After leaving the city, please be sure to listen to the command of the several Heavenly Demon seniors, and do not act without authorization, or else you will be responsible for the consequences.”
“Understood.”
The three of them maintained a certain distance from each other, finding a random location at the city gates and waiting quietly.
Not long after, the rest of the demonic cultivators other than the three Heavenly Demons, arrived one after another.
Seeing that among the newly recruited team members, there were two Earth Demon After Realm devil cultivators, several of the veteran team members immediately became excited, their eyes skimming over Xu Chuniang and landing on the two beside her.
“Yo, that Tu Hu guy is not bad, he recruited three newcomers so quickly, and two of them are actually at the Earth Demon After Realm, I originally thought that it would take him at least a day or two before he could recruit all the people.”
“What are the names of you two, what means are you good at, briefly introduce them, when you leave the city, you will have to hunt demons together, understand each other first.”
Compared to the two Earth Demon After Realm demonic cultivators, Xu Chuniang, who was also a new team member, was left unattended.
There was no other reason, simply because her cultivation level was too low.
Although there were three Heavenly Demon Realm demonic cultivators leading the team, hunting Extra-terrestrial Heavenly Demons was still a dangerous chore, and the slightest mishap could result in death at any time at the hands of an Extra-terrestrial Heavenly Demon.
The lower the cultivation level, the greater this possibility.
In the eyes of these veteran members, naturally, the two Earth Demon After Realm devil cultivators were more valuable to befriend.
Xu Chuniang was happy to be quiet, and while she appeared to be unconcerned about everything around her, she was actually secretly sizing up the two Earth Demon After Realm demonic cultivators.
If she hadn’t guessed wrongly, at least one of those two, was rushing towards her. At first, after discovering the snooping array in the cave, she did not act rashly, but chose to use it as a ruse.
Since the snake-tailed female cultivator wanted to probe her secrets, she simply showed the other party what she wanted to see, in a big way.
Originally, she thought that after discovering the uniqueness of her technique, the Snake-tailed Demoness would try to drive her out of the cave, lure her out of the city, and then kill her.
Unexpectedly, the other party is calm, waiting for six years, during which did not reveal any abnormalities.
The Snake-tailed Demoness’s actions also made Xu Chuniang realize that it wasn’t the Snake-tailed Demoness who was staring at her, but the person behind her.
The Snake-tailed Demoness only had the cultivation of the Human Demon After Realm, and was the lowest level of existence in the city, relying on clinging to stronger demonic cultivators in order to survive in this Abyssal City.
And the people she was relying on were the two Earth Demon After Realm devil cultivators in front of her?
Xu Chuniang lowered her eyelids, hiding the thoughts in her eyes.
The other party had waited for six years, and with such patience, they would never have missed her movements.
I just don’t know if these two people are in cahoots.
If they are not a group, the one she has to deal with is a demonic cultivator of the Earth Demon After Realm.
On the contrary, if these two people were really a group, they would have to deal with more than just two Earth Demon After Realm cultivators.
These two people had similar cultivation levels, and those who could instruct two Earth Demon After Realm demonic cultivators would not be able to do anything other than a Heavenly Demon powerhouse with a higher cultivation level.
Although it was unlikely, Xu Chuniang prepared for the worst, the reason why she had acquired the Star Asking Disk and exchanged it for a large amount of magic crystals was just in case.
Just as she was calculating all of this, the few Heavenly Demon powerhouses that were leading the group, finally arrived.
A female devil at the head had a stout figure and extraordinary aura, and should be the leader with the highest cultivation, Shattered Candle.
The other two Heavenly Demons, one on the left and one on the right, flanked her, with an appearance of looking up to her.
Shattered Candle looked around and swept her gaze over the newly joined trio, “You are the new team members?”
Seeing the three nodding in the affirmative, she slightly lowered her eyes and glanced at the Sky Demon on her right.
The Heavenly Demon on the right understood and took out the magic crystals that had been prepared long ago and distributed them to the three.
Broken Candle faintly said, ”This is the fee for leaving the city, as long as you accompany me out of the city, regardless of whether there is a harvest or not, you will be able to get this amount of magic crystals, and if you accompany me out of the city to hunt for devils, depending on how much or how little you contributed in the hunting operation, you will also be able to get a varying amount of magic crystals.
However, I’ll say it in advance, after leaving the city, all actions must obey my arrangements, violators will be directly expelled from the team and never be employed, understand?”
“Understood.”
Shattered Candle nodded slightly, “Since you’ve all heard and understood, let’s set off, our target this time, is the three Extra-Terrestrial Heavenly Demons.”
In all fairness, with the three Heavenly Demons led by Shattered Candle, hunting three Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons was not a difficult task.
If things went well, the goal could be accomplished in ten days and half a month.
After setting off, Xu Chuniang immovably landed at the back of the group, probing out all of her divine soul perception to keep an eye on the movements behind her.
After her cultivation broke through to the Earth Demon Realm, her divine soul was further enhanced, and the range of her perception increased even more dramatically.
Even if it was a Heavenly Demon powerhouse, she was able to sense its exact location and direction of movement without alerting the other party.
Whether or not there was someone following them, one probe would tell her.
