Chapter 768 - The scholarly disciples carrying the demons on their shoulders (1/2)

True Monarch Eternal Fire took the cosmos bags in their hands, and swept them with his mental energy.

In the next moment, he discovered that the number of demons of the Fourth Stage inside the various cosmos bags surpa.s.sed 1180. In addition, there were also the corpses of a few demons of the Third Stage.

“Eh?” True Monarch Eternal Fire raised his head, and looked at Song Shuhang and the others with a curious expression on his face. Even if it was just a puppet clone, it could still easily discern the strength of the trio. Two of them were at the Third Stage, and one at the Fourth Stage.

How were these three little friends able to kill so many demons after they joined their forces? Even if the demons suffered the weakening effects of the filtering nets, it was quite the feat to kill so many in such a short amount of time.

But in the next moment, True Monarch Eternal Fire saw that Song Shuhang was holding Meteor Sword in his hand—it was Venerable White’s sword.

Was it possible that Venerable White’s and the others had helped these little friends?

Perhaps Venerable White and the other seniors directly took action and killed the demons on behalf of these three little friends?

Thereupon, True Monarch Eternal Fire’s puppet smiled, and said, “Little friends, you gathered a total of 1181 demons of the Fourth Stage!”

“Ah? 1181? Don’t we need just another twentyish demons to get an extra seed of the Virtuous Golden Lotus?” Yu Jiaojiao muttered to herself.

“Should we head back to kill the remaining nineteen demons and fill in the numbers?” Su Clan’s Sixteen said.

“Alright. Senior Eternal Fire, can you wait for a moment? Just the time for us to head back and return here,” Song Shuhang said, looking very energetic. With Venerable White’s G.o.dly weapon in hand, it wouldn’t take them long to kill the remaining nineteen demons of the Fourth Stage and return here.

True Monarch Eternal Fire’s puppet clone laughed, and repeatedly waved his hand. “Little friends, you don’t need to worry. There are just nineteen demons missing, and I can just use the remaining demons of the Third Stage in the cosmos bags to make up for it. If the demons of the Third Stage are added to those of the Fourth Stage, you will reach a quant.i.ty equivalent to 1200 demons of the Fourth Stage, which you can exchange for four seeds of the Virtuous Golden Lotus. Is that alright?”

Among these three little friends, one was the beloved daughter of True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon, one was the little genius from the Spirit River Su Clan, and the last one was Venerable White’s junior. As such, there was no harm in doing them this favor, since it required next to no effort.

“In that case, sorry for inconveniencing you,” Yu Jiaojiao said.

“Thank you, Senior Eternal Fire.” Song Shuhang finally relaxed. He was rather close to reaching his limit. Although there wouldn’t be any problem in going for another round of killing, it was better if they could catch a small break fighting again.

“Thank you, Senior.” Su Clan’s Sixteen likewise thanked him.

True Monarch Eternal Fire’s puppet clone revealed a smile, and took out a large gunny sack from behind his back after taking the cosmos bags from Song Shuhang and the others. This gunny sack was also a type of cosmos bag, just bigger.

True Monarch Eternal Fire’s puppet clone used a magical technique, activating the formation engraved on the large cosmos bag. In the next moment, the whole content stored within the cosmos bags belonging to Song Shuhang and the others was poured into the large gunny sack.

Afterward, he returned the empty cosmos bags to Song Shuhang and the others, and took out four of the seeds of the Virtuous Golden Lotus, giving them to the trio. “Here are your four lotus seeds. Little friends, accept them.”

“Thank you, Senior.” Song Shuhang received the lotus seeds.

“You are welcome. You three went through a lot of trouble, and I should be the one thanking you on behalf of the scholarly faction,” True Monarch Eternal Fire said in a soft voice.

After leaving the exchange site, Song Shuhang and the others didn’t immediately head back to kill the demons of the Netherworld Realm.

The three of them decided to return to that courtyard the White Cloud Academy had prepared for the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group to rest.

While they were taking a break, the low-level disciples of the White Cloud Academy rushed toward their location, and brought them tea and exquisite snacks so that they could replenish their energy.

Song Shuhang took out the seeds of the Virtuous Golden Lotus, and said, “We have four seeds of the Virtuous Golden Lotus in total!”

“I’m fine as long as I get one,” Su Clan’s Sixteen said.

“I’m the same. After all, it’s you, Shuhang, who single-handedly cut down those 1200 demons. Sixteen and I only a.s.sisted you while you did most of the work. Therefore, you can have two,” Yu Jiaojiao also said.

Song Shuhang looked at Sixteen and Yu Jiaojiao. Afterward, he nodded with a smile, and said, “In that case, I will gladly accept!”

He could give these two lotus seeds to his mother and father.

Each of the seeds could increase one’s lifespan by fifty years, and he could use these two treasures to prolong the life of his parents.

After they were done dividing the spoils of war…

Su Clan’s Sixteen suggested, “We will start killing demons again in a while, right? In that case, we should do our best and get our hands on as many seeds of the Virtuous Golden Lotus as possible. If we miss this chance, it’s going to be very quite difficult to obtain the seeds of the Virtuous Golden Lotus from the scholarly faction once this special event is over.”

“I don’t have any objection,” Yu Jiaojiao said.

“Alright. If Senior White doesn’t call back Meteor Sword by that time, we can again decimate the demons of the Fourth Stage,” Song Shuhang said with a nod.

As they were discussing, Shuhang lowered his head, and shot a glance at Lady Onion, who still had the appearance of a green onion at this time.

At this time, Lady Onion was holding a small, tailor-made teacup, and was drinking Spirit Green Tea with great gusto.

She was still stuck on the enlightenment stone at this moment, but Venerable White had personally engraved a formation on the enlightenment stone to conceal its presence.

Since there was this concealing formation in effect, Song Shuhang had started to allow Lady Onion to come out for a stroll once in a while.

Actually, Lady Onion was already able to a.s.sume her human form… but for some unknown reason, she would stay in her green onion form most of the time, and very rarely a.s.sume her human form.

Actually, the truth was…

Lady Onion felt that she wouldn’t be able to separate from the enlightenment stone within a short period of time and get away from Song Shuhang’s evil clutches. As such, she felt that maintaining her green onion form was the safest thing to do.

Song Shuhang didn’t have a girlfriend, and didn’t seem interested in becoming a buddhist monk, either… therefore, wouldn’t it be dangerous to frequently a.s.sume her human form in front of him? After all, she was a hot and pretty lady!
