Chapter 1933: I underestimated you, first Sage in a thousand years

The demonic bear could not be allowed to summon the parasitic demon god in its body.

Otherwise, its combat power would jump to a level close to the Immortal Realm, making it very difficult to deal with it. The damage it would cause to the heart of the scholarly faction would be tremendous.

It seemed that driver uncle would have to make a move to stop the demonic bear.

At this time, exposing himself was unavoidable.

“Roooaaar, huh?” The demonic bear discovered a big problem after roaring for a short while.

In the past, as long as it willed it, the parasite would immediately begin cooperating with it. But this time, it was as if there was a problem with Mogal. It was not responding to any of its thoughts.

“What happened?” The demonic bear was stunned—this was the first time that it encountered such a situation.

Meanwhile, Shuhang’s side was also confused.

After all, the demonic bear looked like it was about to make a big move from the way it was acting. As such, all of them had prepared their defenses to resist whatever it was that the bear was going to throw at them. However, even after roaring for so long, nothing came from the bear.

Both sides found themselves in a rather awkward situation.

Song Shuhang asked, “Did it fail to use its skill?”

“Perhaps it got influenced by the scholarly faction’s defensive formations?” the black Scarlet Heaven Sword said—after all, they were currently at the very heart of the scholarly faction, the domain of the Scholarly Sage. It would not be strange if the Scholarly Sage, who had been able to suppress the entire universe back then, had left some high-level mechanisms or formations that specifically countered evil demons.

It was also possible that a powerful expert from the scholarly faction had made a move in secret.

Both the demonic bear and Sister White Dragon had faintly sensed a powerful aura within the crowd.

“Rooaarrr~” The demonic bear roared loudly once again. It was frantically trying to summon Mogal, who was inside its body.

…

“Should we give it a chance? It looks like it’s really trying its hardest…” The black Scarlet Heaven Sword said. “Hehe, just kidding, let’s take this opportunity to kill it!”

As a pure-blooded inner demon, its actions would naturally match its nature. It was someone who loved taking advantage of the chaos to deal with its targets.

“Wait… He was my companion for a while, so let’s at least give it a chance to show what it’s got,” Pavilion Master Chu Two said. “I can guarantee that it won’t be able to do much. No matter how much power it erupts with, I’ll deal with it instantly.”

The black Scarlet Heaven Sword: “…”

Are you even an inner demon?

Sister White Dragon said, “Since Fellow Daoist has said so, we have no reason to object. Let’s wait.”

Song Shuhang looked up at the sky.

I now feel as if this demonic bear is really pitiful.

This is exactly why it’s important to choose your teammates well!

After roaring for quite a while, Mogal’s energy inside the demonic bear’s body finally responded to its calls.

However, the energy with which Mogal responded was particularly weak; it was akin to water squeezed from a dry sponge.

The demonic bear asked, [Mogal, what’s wrong with you?]

[I don’t know. My power seems to have left me all of a sudden. I’ve never experienced something like this.] The demon god parasitizing the demonic bear’s body replied weakly.

It felt as if it had died and resurrected.

As a special parasitic-type demonic creature, as long as its host had not died, Mogal could resurrect through the energy of its host.

This manner of existence faintly resembled that of a manifestation of light of virtue.

[How?] A feeling of despair welled up in the demonic bear’s heart.

It lowered its head slightly and looked at Song Shuhang.

Suddenly, it thought of a possibility. “It was you!”

Song Shuhang was puzzled.

The demonic bear pointed at Song Shuhang and said solemnly, “I see now. I underestimated you, first Sage in a thousand years Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.”

Song Shuhang quickly hid his confused expression, and the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a smile that seemed to show that everything was under his control. Although he had no idea what the demon bear was talking about, he knew that things would work out for him as long as he smiled in response.

As long as he smiled handsomely, there was no need for words.

When the demonic bear saw his smile, it would complete the plot on its own.

“This time around, I accept my loss,” said the demonic bear, “but when I come back, it will be your downfall!”

After saying that, it roared and opened a spatial gate to escape.

This evil demon of the Netherworld did not display reckless bravery.

It must immediately report the scholarly faction’s movements to its master—at that time, as long as it could bring over a strand of its master’s power, it would be able to absolutely trample on Profound Sage Tyrannical Song.

“Seal the space!” Song Shuhang transmitted his voice to several seniors.

“It’s fine to let it escape.” said Pavilion Master Chu Two slowly. “My Crystal-Clear Water Pavilion is waiting for it on the other end of the spatial passage.”

Song Shuhang asked, “You even prepared for something like that?”

While speaking, the demonic bear had already entered the spatial channel and disappeared.

“I’m going to hammer it back.” Pavilion Master Chu Two then spoke to the strand of hair above Song Shuhang’s head, “Head, lend me your power.”

She had mentioned previously that the demonic bear was discussing some plans with several other evil demons of the Netherworld on how they should go about dealing with the scholarly faction. In other words, the demonic bear had other companions.

She needed the help of Pavilion Master Chu’s main body in order to deal with them.

Pavilion Master Chu replied, “I don’t have much energy stored right now. I can only unleash three strikes at most.”

“That’s enough,” said Pavilion Master Chu Two—with her and Pavilion Master Chu’s powers combined, they would be able to unleash their genuine strength. “I can supply the energy for both of us.”

And so on Song Shuhang’s head, two more strands of hair that were seven-meter-long grew out.

There were now a total of three strands of long hair swaying in the air.

Pavilion Master Chu Two stretched out her hand, and the three strands of hair fell into her hands.

She grabbed the three seven-meter-long strands of hair and inserted them into her own head. Afterward, she waved her hand and opened a spatial passage before disappearing into it.

Pavilion Master Chu Two and the demonic bear had come and gone in quite a hurry.

Senior White stretched out his hand and handed the black Scarlet Heaven Sword back to Song Shuhang. Afterward, he said inexplicably, “I’m almost there.”

Song Shuhang asked, “Almost there?”

“I’m almost at my limit. I don’t have much energy left.” Senior White’s clone pointed at himself. “I’m going to save on using energy as much as possible.”

Song Shuhang said, “Senior White, you’ve worked hard. You can leave the rest to us.”

Even when Senior White’s clone had little energy left, he could still function as a good luck charm; he only had to stand there.

Heavenly City Fragment, Inner Demon Cave.

Song Shuhang and the others entered the Inner Demon Cave.

Before being interrupted by the demonic bear, they were just about to enter and check the cave.

Scarlet Heaven Sword, who was suspended behind Song Shuhang’s waist, said. “Brr~ This place makes me feel very uncomfortable.”

The moment it entered the cave, it felt chills that made its heart shiver.

This place was filled with malice toward inner demons.

Sister White Dragon’s gaze scoured the Inner Demon Cave and found nothing of value.

True Monarch Eternal Fire wondered, “Fellow Daoist White, did you find anything over there?”

Senior White’s clone shook his head. “It would be nice if my main body was here right now.”

That way, he could just grab his main body and swing it around. Wherever the main body landed, a treasure would be found.
