Chapter 883: The good old traditions… and then a surprise attack

Translator: G.o.dBrandy Editor: Kurisu

If Lady Onion’d had had the possibility to call another number, she would have never called Song Shuhang—not even if she was beaten to death!

After all, calling Song Shuhang implied giving up the ‘freedom’ she had obtained with much difficulty on her own initiative.

Someone that could already enjoy freedom had no idea of how valuable it was.

On the other hand, Lady Onion had been locked up for 300 years by Nine Lanterns right after she’d completed her training and descended from the mountain… After that, she ended up in Song Shuhang’s size-reducing purse because she sought death, and stayed in there until recently.

As such, in Lady Onion’s eyes, not even a mountain of gold was as valuable as her freedom.

She had finally managed to get rid of Song Shuhang and obtain her precious freedom… but now, before she could even properly enjoy it, she was forced to hand it over on her own initiative.

Did you now understand how she felt?

“Lady Onion? It’s you!” Song Shuhang said. “Where are you now?”

“Save me, quickly come to save me! I’m currently in the underground area of the 250th branch of the [All the Monsters of the World Should Unite and Become a Family] organization. The whole place is filled with the evil energy of the Netherworld Realm. This energy is very pure and resembles black oil. It has already flooded the whole pyramid at this time. The area outside our room is also filled with evil energy, and the barrier outside won’t last for long… therefore, quickly come to save me! If you are one step late, you won’t be able to see this adorable green onion anymore,” Lady Onion said anxiously. In the end, she had submitted to the enemy; thus, she was a bit depressed.

“The evil energy of the Netherworld Realm? Just what is happening?” Song Shuhang said with a serious expression on his face. At the same time, he waved his hand at the nearby Fairy Dongfang Six.

Actually, there was no need for him to wave his hand at the fairy maiden, because Fairy Dongfang Six had already heard the content of their conversation after Song Shuhang picked up his phone.

Fairy Dongfang Six had already contacted the branch elder via secret sound transmission.

The branch elder quickly ran to where Song Shuhang and the others were.

“What’s happening here?” the branch elder asked.

“Some problems arose in the underground area of the branch,” Fairy Dongfang Six said. “The underground area was flooded with the evil energy of the Netherworld.”

“Impossible! From where has this evil energy of the Netherworld come?” the branch elder said.

Lady Onion’s voice was transmitted from the other end of the phone. “I’m not too clear about the details, but the evil energy of the Netherworld Realm is continuously gus.h.i.+ng out from the bottom of the pyramid. My guess is that the patients that were moved to the bottom of the pyramid were contaminated with the evil energy of the Netherworld Realm. Their condition should be similar to that middle-aged man and that other big fellow we met in Wenzhou City. Anyway, quickly come over and save me! The barrier outside the room is about to collapse. If you are even a second late, we’ll never meet again,” Lady Onion said in a hurry.

When it came to dealing with the evil energy of the Netherworld, Song Shuhang was even better than a Fifth Stage Spiritual Emperor.

The tentacles of that lotus flower that the nucleus in Song Shuhang’s Heart Aperture could project outside could absorb the evil energy of the Netherworld and transform it into nourishment regardless of its quant.i.ty. This was the reason Lady Onion believed that Song Shuhang could definitely save her.

“Wait for me,” Song Shuhang replied.

“You have to come and save me. Don’t abandon me!” Lady Onion added, somewhat worried.

“Don’t worry, I’m going to save you,” Song Shuhang said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Song Shuhang looked at Fairy Dongfang Six and the branch elder of the 250th branch.

The branch elder was a monster of the Fifth Stage, and he already had the ability to a.s.sume human form.

However… his human form was rather peculiar. While in human form, he was around three meters tall and had seven hands and eight feet.

He literally had hands and feet flying every which way!

Anyway, his human form was simply too weird, and he might as well use his monster at this point.

Just as though he had guessed what Song Shuhang was thinking, the branch elder explained, “I’m the current branch elder of the 250th branch of the [All the Monsters of the World Should Unite and Become a Family] organization—Gu Wu. My human form is something that came into existence when I went to a small island abroad during my younger days. Back then, I used an illusory technique to a.s.sume this form with seven hands and eight feet so that I could pretend to be an aboriginal deity and fool the local population. But as time pa.s.sed by, I slowly got used to this form… Ahahaha.”

Leaving the country during their younger days, making a trip to another country, and having fun pretending to be a local aboriginal deity… it seemed that the current elder of the 250th branch was someone that liked following the good old traditions.

However, with science and technology quickly progressing, people slowly stopped believing in G.o.ds and demons. For this reason, it was very difficult for the current elder of the 250th branch to head to another country and pretend to be an aboriginal deity.

The branch elder from 3000 years ago could still head to Egypt and pretend to be a local aboriginal deity, but the current branch elder Gu Wu could only look for a small island abroad to pa.s.s off as an aboriginal deity.

“…” Song Shuhang.

Gu Wu also added, “We indeed moved several companions to the bottom of the pyramid. Those companions were small monsters that have been contaminated with the evil energy of the Netherworld recently. For this reason, I decided to move them to the ‘purifying pond’ at the bottom of the pyramid, preparing to slowly purify the evil energy in their bodies by borrowing the power of a formation. But little did I expect that something like this would happen… I’m sure that the energy of the Netherworld in their bodies was nowhere that powerful when I moved them there. According to my calculations, the strength of the purifying formation would have been more enough to get rid of the evil energy that had infected their bodies. As such, why did the amount of that evil energy suddenly increase to the point that it filled the whole pyramid…?”

Song Shuhang said, “This matter is a long story. Senior Dongfang Six should have already guessed a few things. This incident is related to the matter I’ve mentioned in the group some time ago, the one about ordinary people and animals getting contaminated with the evil energy of the Netherworld Realm.”
