Chapter 111 Demonic Land
Gu Shihan nodded, took the black jade pendant and put it in her pocket, secretly rejoicing that this trip had an extra layer of protection.

After a moment's thought, she said to Shi Qinghan, "Brother, you should also take some of this powder with you, just in case you encounter any emergencies."

Shi Qinghan responded and took a portion of the powder as instructed, carefully storing it away.

"Okay!" The two walked briskly to the foot of the towering tree.

Gu Shihan pressed her finger on the tree trunk a few times, and suddenly a faint spiritual light flickered on the ground, like stars twinkling in the night sky.

Without hesitation, the two stepped into the teleportation array. Just then, Shi Qinghan tightly grasped Gu Shihan's soft little hand and said gently, "Little sister, you must hold my hand tightly, only in this way will we not be separated during the teleportation."

Hearing Shi Qinghan's words, Gu Shihan nodded, her clear eyes revealing both anticipation and a hint of nervousness for the unknown journey.

In an instant, a powerful force engulfed them.

The two felt dizzy, their heads were buzzing, and they lost their balance.

The intense dizziness made it almost impossible for them to breathe, but they never let go of each other's tightly clasped hands.

When everything finally calmed down, the two slowly opened their eyes and found themselves in an unfamiliar forest.

The land of this forest seemed to be covered by a thick layer of ink, and the deep black color inspired fear and unease.

The black soil stretched out silently, like a deathly abyss, swallowing all signs of life.

The plants surrounding this land seem more like strange beings from another world.

They no longer display the common emerald green color, but have been replaced by patches of dark hues.

These black branches and leaves intertwined to form a sinister and terrifying scene that sent chills down one's spine.

"Little sister, have we arrived in the Demon Realm? How could our Spirit Realm have such a strange place?! No wonder we couldn't find any trace of those demonic cultivators; they had hidden themselves in such a deep corner!" Shi Qinghan exclaimed, her eyes wide with astonishment.

“That should be right. The situation is still unclear, brother. We should proceed with caution.” Gu Shihan cautiously looked around and replied in a low voice.

The two continued on their way with trepidation, and before they knew it, almost two hours had passed.

Finally, a dilapidated city came into view ahead – Moke City.

The city looked dilapidated, its walls weathered and worn, as if it had endured countless years of vicissitudes.

"Little sister, this city is so dilapidated! Those demonic cultivators don't seem to be having a good time here! What's going on?" Shi Qinghan looked at the scene before her, astonished.

Indeed, as he said, most of the demons he saw were cautious and timid.

They lowered their heads, walked hurriedly, and dared not make eye contact with others.

Only those dressed in black robes embroidered with silver spider lilies would stir up a breeze as they walked, their faces beaming with arrogance, as if they possessed a special status and power in this place.

In order to blend into the city smoothly without arousing suspicion or attention from others, the two of them deliberately disguised themselves as cautious and timid.

They followed closely behind the tall demons in front, marching slowly toward the city gate in an orderly procession.

Along the way, they carefully avoided the demonic cultivators whose robes were embroidered with spider lilies, fearing that an accidental collision or eye contact would expose their identities. After a long wait, the two successfully entered the dilapidated and unfamiliar city.

Upon entering the city, the two felt immediately deceived. The outside looked so dilapidated, but the city itself looked quite nice and prosperous.

The streets were bustling with activity, and all kinds of shops were lining the streets.

After looking around, the two finally chose a teahouse that looked relatively quiet and clean and went inside to sit down.

The demon shopkeeper immediately greeted them with a beaming smile, asking warmly, "Welcome to my humble shop, gentlemen! What would you like to order?"

Gu Shihan knew nothing about the food here, but in order not to let the owner see through her act, she braced herself and said loudly, "Give us each one of your restaurant's signature dishes!"

Upon hearing this, the boss's smile widened, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, please wait a moment!" Then he turned and quickly left.

Not long after, the owner returned carrying two large bowls.

The bowls contained two bowls of dark green food that emitted a strange smell, making it difficult to identify what they were.

"My lords, this is our restaurant's signature dish—Rotten Green Flower! Just look at the color and appearance, wow, it's absolutely a top-notch delicacy!"

The boss, beaming with pride, introduced the two people in front of him.

He was holding a tray with both hands, on which were placed two bowls of green, unidentified objects that emitted a strange smell.

Shi Qinghan frowned, staring at the two bowls of food in front of him that looked completely unappetizing, and his stomach suddenly felt churning.

He struggled to suppress the urge to vomit, his face pale as he waved to the boss, his voice trembling as he said, "You...you can go now!"

Gu Shihan, on the other hand, seemed quite calm. She looked around curiously, her gaze landing on the tables of other guests.

To her surprise, nearly half of the dining tables had these strange, dark green things on them.

Moreover, the guests' reactions varied; some ate voraciously and with great relish, while others only cautiously ate a little.

Seeing this, Gu Shihan wondered to herself: Could this really be a local delicacy? Why do people have such different attitudes towards it?
However, judging from its appearance and smell, I'm afraid I simply couldn't stomach it.

Despite their strong resistance, Shi Qinghan and Gu Shihan decided to put on a facade in order to avoid arousing suspicion and attention from others.

The two of them forced a happy expression, picked up their chopsticks, and pretended to taste the food.

In reality, those so-called "delicacies" never actually entered their mouths; instead, they were cleverly smuggled into the space they carried with them.

Just then, a sharp, piercing scream suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw several people dressed in black robes with patterns of spider lilies embroidered on their clothes who had appeared in the market at some point.

They surrounded several demons and quickly engaged in a fierce battle.
