Something's wrong with this demon.

Chapter 96 Forcing Me

Night falls in the cave.

After Luo Qingchen returned, she submerged the tips of the three feathers in the poison and soaked them.

Each feather has a tiny hole at its tip that is barely visible to the naked eye.

He believed the venom would enter through the small hole.

After arranging the feathers, he started a fire to boil medicine and prepare a medicinal bath.

After this medicinal bath, he dripped 10 drops of gilded blood into his mouth.

Five days later.

He looked at the cultivation progress within his body, which had increased from 1600/2000 to 1720/2000.

The need for blood is increasing, and the rate of growth is slowing down.

Just like the other realms before.

In the final stage of each cycle, the growth rate slows down.

However, he was not worried.

He still has 60 points of gilded blood in his body, and there are so many blood banks in the Demon Prison for him to suck blood from.

Breaking through to the Spirit Nourishing Realm is more than enough!

After taking a shower and changing my clothes, I prepared to head out to the Demon Prison.

Only then did he remember the three feathers.

The tips of the three feathers had been soaking in poison for five days and five nights.

Luo Qingchen walked to the corner and carefully took one out.

The tips of the feathers are black with a slight sheen, and they are not stained with any other colors.

Because it is completely black, it is impossible to see whether the venom has been inhaled into the hollow tube in the center.

He held the top end and shook it gently a few times, but no venom dripped out.

But under the light, the cold luster of its tip clearly indicates that it has now been transformed into a feather that is not only sharp but also deadly.

Luo Qingchen broke off a thin twig about half an inch long from the firewood, inserted the tip of the feather into it, and then wrapped it completely with a strip of cloth before carrying it with her.

After thinking for a moment, he took some nails out of the package and immersed the tips of the nails completely into the venom.

There's only a little venom left.

He added some more water and stirred it.

Only after he finished doing all this did he leave the cave.

I had just walked a short distance on the white road when I suddenly saw a lot of disciples standing on the road ahead, and several familiar faces.

The disciples all turned their attention to the dark woods to the right of the white path, pointing and whispering amongst themselves.

"That junior sister is really amazing!"

When Luo Qingchen got closer, she heard them talking about their junior sister, Ye Fu.

In the woods, a blood-soaked corpse hangs from the branch of a large tree.

A black waist tag was still hanging on the body's chest.

Next to it, a long blue dress was hanging.

"I didn't expect even Senior Sister Wang to fall. That junior sister is really ruthless."

"Didn't we say last time that she was seriously injured and escaped into the Ghostly Graveyard behind there?"

"That's right. Some time ago, Senior Sister Wang led a group that directly broke into that junior sister's cave, severely injuring her. She escaped into the Ghost Shadow Graveyard. During this time, I heard that Senior Sister Wang has been leading people to the Ghost Shadow Graveyard to look for her, preparing to eliminate her completely."

"Just last night, when Senior Sister Wang and her group of four went to the Ghostly Graveyard again, they suddenly stepped on a lot of iron nails and had to turn back. Who knew that the junior sister, using some unknown method, managed to enter Senior Sister Wang's cave while she was sleeping, cut off her head, and hung it here—"

"After hearing the news, Wang's other three companions packed up their belongings and ran away early this morning. They're probably going to stay on the main peak for the time being."

The other disciples nearby all changed their expressions upon hearing this.

"They actually managed to sneak into the cave?"

"Didn't that junior sister just break through to the Blood Exchange Realm? How come she's so powerful?"

"According to Senior Sister Liu, there weren't even any signs of a fight in Senior Sister Wang's cave."

"Good heavens! What kind of monster is this?"

The disciples were even more astonished upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingchen was naturally surprised and felt quite strange.

"That junior sister actually used iron nails too?"

He bought those nails at the general store in Medicine Man Town.

That junior sister also came from Medicine Man Town. Did she have this idea after hearing that Zhang Jiu and the others were hit by iron nails, or did she just happen to think that iron nails were very useful, so she carried them with her?

He glanced again at the blood-soaked corpse hanging in the dark woods, and suddenly felt the urgency of time.

That junior sister's talent is clearly better than his.

Moreover, the other party's ruthlessness and methods made him feel uneasy and increased his pressure.

How could the other party have entered Senior Sister Wang's cave without anyone noticing?

How exactly did they do it?

If that were really possible, wouldn't it mean that he wouldn't be safe staying in the cave?

Whether you're taking a medicinal bath, cultivating, or sleeping in the cave, danger may befall you at any moment.

If that junior sister can do it, then other capable disciples can certainly do it too.

Thinking about these things, his heart suddenly felt heavy.

He must seize the time to cultivate and advance to the next level as soon as possible!

Lost in thought, I arrived at the Demon Prison.

Walking through the dark and gloomy underground passage, looking at the eerie ghost faces on the walls illuminated by the firelight, he unexpectedly had the idea of ​​settling down in this demonic prison.

Only in this infamous prison, feared by all, could he feel a sliver of security.

The human world is more terrifying than hell.

Upon arriving at the fence, Yao Yu was talking to one of her disciples.

The disciple, with a fawning expression, handed Yao Yu a silver note, appearing obsequious.

Yao Yu put away the silver notes, waved his hand, and let him leave.

The disciple took a key and walked happily into the cell.

"Junior Brother Luo, you've arrived."

When Yao Yu saw Luo Qingchen, her eyes gleamed, and she smiled, "How about we change the job today?"

Luo Qingchen said, "Do you want silver? If you want silver, then I won't exchange it."

Yao Yu's smile turned into a sneer. She picked up the bunch of keys from the table, threw them to him, and said coldly, "Still cell number five. Remember to clean it thoroughly. Someone might come to inspect it tomorrow."

Luo Qingchen nodded, took the key, and walked inside.

Yao Yu watched his figure gradually disappear into the passage ahead, her expression shifting for a moment before she asked in confusion, "What method did that kid use to always come out unscathed? Last time, those magical beasts were all very agitated; there was no way he could have cleaned the cells so easily."

"Click!"

Luo Qingchen opened the first cell.

"hey-hey----"

As soon as they entered, the demonic monkey let out a sinister laugh, like a human's.

But when it saw the human in front of it, its savage laughter stopped abruptly, and it quickly retreated to a corner, where it huddled, its scarlet eyes staring at the other person with vigilance and fear.

It remembered that when it first met this human, he was knocked unconscious.

When I woke up, I felt weak all over, my vision went black, and I had no strength left.

It took several days to recover.

That despicable and treacherous human must have taken advantage of its unconsciousness to do something bad to it.

It must not be knocked unconscious by him again today!

Luo Qingchen glanced at it and began cleaning the cell.

After cleaning, they left.

For safety's sake, he's not going to suck blood today.

Last time, he left here unscathed, so the other party may have already begun to suspect him.

Therefore, this time, the other side is probably already prepared.

Especially at times like these, we must not be careless.

To become complacent and arrogant in such a place is tantamount to courting death.

We must have enough patience and vigilance.

Enter the second cell.

The enormous, strange bird was preening its feathers with its sharp beak. Upon seeing him, it trembled, immediately turned around, and retreated to a corner. It stuck out its rear end, buried its head in its feathers, closed its eyes tightly, and began to shiver.

After being paralyzed twice, it finally remembered this terrifying human.

"Snapped!"

Luo Qingchen walked over and patted its rear end with a broom.

The strange bird trembled in fright, hastily shifting its rear end. It didn't dare lift its head or open its eyes, shivering and looking aggrieved, hoping that this evil star would leave quickly.

Luo Qingchen ignored it and left after cleaning the cell.

"Click—"

Hearing the iron gate close, the strange bird finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Qingchen walked into the third cell.

The snake demon had transformed into human form and was lying diagonally in the corner, combing her long, beautiful hair with her slender fingers. Her curvaceous figure was faintly visible beneath her gossamer-thin gauze dress, outlining a beautiful and alluring curve.

Seeing him enter, the snake demon's small mouth moved slightly, as if she wanted to speak, but she held back.

After thinking for a moment, she stretched out a slender hand and pulled her skirt up, revealing a pair of long, slender, snow-white legs.

Her two beautiful legs were tightly pressed together, with not a single gap between them.

Seeing that the human ignored her, she stretched out a slender finger and hooked down the gauze skirt on her shoulder, revealing a snow-white and alluring shoulder.

Then, the fingers slid down, revealing a pair of peaks.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, Luo Qingchen splashed all the dirty water she had just used to mop the floor all over her.

The snake demon was instantly enraged, hissing as it stuck out its long tongue. Its once alluring face immediately turned ferocious and menacing.

But when she met his cold eyes, she suddenly remembered the time when she was paralyzed and unable to move. She paused, withdrew her tongue, the ferocity faded, and a charming smile returned to her face.

Her voice was sweet and coquettish as she said, "Young master, why did you splash water on me? Don't I look pretty? Tell me what I don't look good about, and I'll fix it right away."

After she finished speaking, her slender waist suddenly became even thinner, her buttocks even more pert, her cheeks even more pointed, and her eyes even bigger.

Her chest also became more prominent.

Her small mouth was slightly open, and the scarlet snake tongue inside had transformed into a small and cute human tongue.

"Young master, how about this?"

She asked in a sweet, coquettish voice, her tongue involuntarily sticking out.

Seeing this, Luo Qingchen thought to herself: This snake demon is indeed powerful. It seems to have fully recovered in just five days. Last time, it drained 40% of her blood. It seems I can drain even more next time.

He ignored the other person, mopped the floor, swept it again, and left the cell.

Next cell.

Since there was no blood to suck today, he had finished cleaning all the cells by noon.

Just as he was about to leave with his tools, Yao Yu suddenly walked in.

"Hey, Junior Brother Luo, have you finished cleaning? So fast?"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yao Yu said with a look of surprise.

Luo Qingchen said, "It's all cleaned up."

Yao Yu glanced at the closed iron gate beside him, then at the tools in his hand, and smiled, "Junior Brother Luo, you need to clean it again. Someone will be coming to inspect tomorrow, so we can't be careless."

Luo Qingchen said, "I've cleaned it all up. Senior Brother Yao, would you like to go in and check?"

Yao Yu laughed and said, "I dare not go in. Junior Brother Luo, you should go quickly and clean all fifteen cells again."

Luo Qingchen stood still.

Yao Yu looked at him with a smile, waited for a while, and seeing that he was still standing still, she said, "What, Junior Brother Luo, you don't want to? It's fine if you don't want to. Junior Brother Luo can take out a thousand taels of silver, and I will give a thousand taels of silver to someone else to clean. Here, as long as you have money, you don't have to work."

Luo Qingchen said, "Senior Brother Yao, as I said, I have finished cleaning everything."

Yao Yu smiled and said, "Junior Brother Luo, as I said, I need you to clean it all again."

He paused, then took out his waist badge, twirled it on his finger, and laughed, "I'm the jailer here, so I'm in charge here."

Luo Qingchen looked at him but didn't say anything more.

Yao Yu maintained her smile and didn't say anything more.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Luo Qingchen picked up the bucket of water from the ground and walked towards the first cell, saying, "Okay, then I'll go clean it again."

"That's more like it!"

Yao Yu smiled and stood at the gate, staring at him with a half-smile.

"Click—"

Luo Qingchen opened the first cell and went inside.

Then the iron gate was closed.

Yao Yu's eyes flashed, and she hesitated for a moment, seemingly wanting to go in and take a look, but then she stood still.

"Click—"

A moment later, Luo Qingchen came out of the first cell and went into the second cell.

Yao Yu narrowed her eyes.

The monster in this second cell was extremely fierce and brutal; it had killed several people.

"Click—"

A moment later, Luo Qingchen came out of the second cell and entered the third cell.

Yao Yu's facial muscles twitched.

He only saw the other person going in and out repeatedly, while the cell was completely quiet, without the terrifying roars of the monsters, the violent crashes of the monsters, or the sound of chains being pulled.

What exactly happened?

It wasn't like this when he came here to check before.

"That kid is definitely suspicious!"

He immediately thought of this possibility.

Half an hour later.

Luo Qingchen, carrying tools, came to him and said, "Senior Brother Yao, I have cleaned all fifteen cells again."

Yao Yu smiled and asked, "Is everything cleaned?"

Luo Qingchen said, "Of course it's clean."

Yao Yu laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. Junior Brother Luo, I need you to clean it again for tomorrow's inspection. I'll follow behind you and supervise you personally."

Luo Qingchen looked at him quietly, without speaking or moving.

Yao Yu looked at him with a smile.

Then it was quiet for a long time.

Luo Qingchen asked, "What if I don't clean?"

Yao Yu sighed immediately: "That's troublesome. If we don't listen to the jailer, we'll have to stay here indefinitely. We can only leave when we finish our work."

Luo Qingchen remained silent for a while, then picked up the bucket from the ground and silently walked towards the first cell.

A cold smile appeared on Yao Yu's lips.

"Click—"

Luo Qingchen opened the iron gate and went inside.

Just as I was about to close the door, a foot stuck in and blocked it.

Yao Yu appeared at the door and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Luo, I told you, I want to follow you and supervise you personally."

Luo Qingchen took a few steps inside, turned to look at him and said, "Then Senior Brother Yao, come in and close the iron gate. Otherwise, if the magical beast escapes, none of us can afford the consequences."

Upon hearing this, Yao Yu hesitated for a moment. She first glanced at the demonic monkey in the corner and saw that it was hiding there and did not seem to be coming out to attack. Moreover, it seemed to be trembling.

He was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with this magical beast? Why does it look so scared?"

Luo Qingchen swept the floor with her head down and said, "It probably sensed Senior Brother Yao's domineering aura."

Yao Yu's gaze was solemn. She stared at the demonic monkey for a while, and after confirming that there was no danger, she was about to enter the cell and close the door when she suddenly looked at him again. She paused, then smiled and said, "It's alright. I'll just stand guard at the door. If anything happens, I'll close the door immediately."

Luo Qingchen didn't say anything more, quickly tidied up, picked up her things, and went out.

Yao Yu glanced at the cell; it was indeed very clean, but he still sneered, "Junior Brother Luo, you can't be careless."

"Click—"

Luo Qingchen opened the second cell and went inside.

Yao Yu was genuinely terrified of the monster in the second cell.

He didn't dare to follow to the door immediately. He waited outside for a while, and seeing that there was no movement inside, he cautiously walked to the door and looked inside.

In the corner, the enormous, muscular monster bird was huddled up, its rear end sticking out, trembling.

What happened?

His doubts and suspicions grew stronger. He stared intently at the boy in the cell and couldn't help but ask, "Junior Brother Luo, how did you do that?"

Luo Qingchen kept her head down, sweeping the floor, and did not answer.

"Junior Brother Luo?"

Yao Yu raised her voice.

Luo Qingchen kept her head down, sweeping the floor, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Yao Yu's face immediately darkened, and he sneered, "Junior Brother Luo, don't forget where you are."

And don't forget, whose territory is this! Are you sure you're deaf?

Luo Qingchen suddenly looked up at him and asked, "Whose territory is this?"

Yao Yu grinned, about to speak, when suddenly he saw him rush towards him with lightning speed, and at the same time, a fist full of power was already smashing towards his face.

"court death!"

Yao Yu took a step back, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes, and suddenly threw a punch.

"Bang!"

The two fists collided violently.

Both of them were startled.

Yao Yu stood still.

Luo Qingchen was so shocked that she retreated into her cell.

Yao Yu's black robe suddenly bulged, the hem fluttering loudly. His eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he sneered, "Junior Brother Luo, what are you trying to do? Are you unhappy living here and want to get to the Yellow Springs sooner?"

Luo Qingchen stood in the cell, clenching her fists, looking at him coldly.

Yao Yu shook his head and sighed, "I originally wanted to let you live a few more days, but now it seems—since you struck first, then according to the sect rules, your senior brother will have to apologize to you. I hope you're safe on your way to the Yellow Springs—hmm?"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly swayed and involuntarily took a few steps back.

Immediately, I felt my vision blurring, my head spinning, and my body starting to go numb.

"This is----"

His expression suddenly changed, he paused, and looked down at his fist.

On the back of the middle finger of the fist, a small hole, barely visible to the naked eye, had appeared, from which dark green blood was slowly oozing out.

"You—you poisoned me?"

His face suddenly turned deathly pale, and he looked utterly incredulous.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards the main gate.

He had only taken two steps when his legs gave way and he collapsed to the ground with a "thud".

"Help—help me—"

Terrified, he frantically crawled towards the door on all fours, shouting frantically.

However, at this moment, not only were his muscles spasming all over, but his throat was also spasming so badly that he couldn't make a sound.

He can no longer even see.

As he crawled in terror, convulsing, a figure appeared in front of him, asking with concern, "Senior Brother Yao, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

He had barely raised his head when the figure grabbed his hair and dragged him into the second cell.

"Help—help me—"

He was terrified and desperately managed to squeeze out a scream.

"Click—"

The iron gate was closed, isolating the sound.

At this moment, in the second cell, only he remained, along with a burly magical beast that was huddled in the corner, its rear end sticking out and trembling.

"Senior Brother Yao————"

The figure crouched in front of him, its face bearing a strange expression, much like the grotesque ghost faces on the walls of the passageway outside, and its voice devoid of any emotion.

"Tell me, why are you forcing me?"

"We can coexist peacefully. You collect the money outside, and I leech off you inside. Isn't that great?"

"But why are you forcing me?"

Yao Yu opened her mouth wide, as if she wanted to beg for mercy.

"boom!"

A loud bang.

His head suddenly exploded like a watermelon.

It was crisp and loud, and brains splattered everywhere.
