The Divine Nine-Dragon Cauldron

Chapter 2601



2601 Chapter 2492, ruins

Although the sacred city was prosperous, many low-end industries were controlled by the dark forces.

The guide was one of them.

If one wanted to work as a guide in a certain area of the sacred city, one had to get permission from the dark forces.

After getting permission, one could operate daily and offer sacrifices to the dark forces on time.

Su Cai’er was too young and it was difficult for customers to trust her, so her business was quite bad.

The time crystals she earned every month were not enough to pay for the offerings.

That was why she took action in private.

This move was naturally noticed by the local tyrants in this area, and they intercepted Su Cai’er many times.

However, she had a special ability, and she always escaped.

At this moment, she was targeted by them again.

“Three Big Brothers, please do me a favor. After this, I won’t do it anymore.”Su Cai’er was still young after all, and there was a pleading look on her face.

After she obtained the one hundred time crystal, she brought her mother and aunt Xueyi far away from the old city district and found another place to settle down.

Of course, she didn’t need to work in their territory anymore.

“If anyone can show mercy, do we still need to follow the rules?”The bearded man walked forward, his face was fierce. “You don’t have to take any chances anymore. The sect master has already noticed you, so he specially ordered us to capture you. Obediently surrender and return with us.”

Because of Su Cai’er’s appearance, several members of the gang followed suit and began to act as guides.

That was why the leader personally ordered them to capture Su Cai’er at all costs. He severely punished her and warned others.

The four bearded men approached step by step. Their eyes were very cold and stern.

Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, Su Cai’er lowered her voice and said, “Guest, leave first. I’ll come back to look for you later.”

If Su Yu was still following her now, he would definitely be implicated.

With that said, Su Cai’er quickly slipped away.

She was not bad for a human, but her movement technique was strangely brilliant. In a breath’s time, she had disappeared without a trace.

Her speed was so fast that she was probably comparable to Daoist master Huang.

The few burly men were only at Daoist master Huang’s realm. There was no way they could catch up to Su Cai’er.

However, they were not too flustered.

The bearded man sneered. “Do you think you can escape from the person whom the sect master personally wants to capture?”

The latter took out a talisman and stuck it on his body. His figure turned into afterimages and sped away.

The other burly men did the same and chased after him with strange symbols.

In the end, only Su Yu was left on the spot.

He laughed lightly, but it was just a self-deprecating laugh.

“I was actually tricked. Hehe, I thought I met a pretty good girl.”

He mistakenly thought that Su Cai’er and this group of people were the same group.

Among them, Su Cai’er was responsible for scamming money, while this group of people pretended to chase after her, allowing the latter to find a reason to escape and thus swindle money from outsiders.

Su Yu had seen too many similar scams.

He just did not expect himself to fall for it.

“I have also made mistakes.”Su Yu sighed helplessly. “Alright, I’ll go by myself.”

In any case, they had already arrived at the old city district, and it should not be far from where the ancient devil gate tomb might exist.

Taking out two bottles of ultimate Yin Devil Qi, Su Yu slowly walked over.

Half a day later.

Su Yu successfully arrived at an abandoned land in the sacred city.

This place was full of abandoned houses with no one living in them. Weeds grew everywhere, and fierce spirits roamed about.

Wisps of Yin Qi came from the abandoned houses.

It was as if there was a monster hidden in every abandoned house that was waiting to devour people.

Even though it was broad daylight, Su Yu could still feel the cold air.

Looking at the two bottles of Ultimate Yin Devil Qi in his palm, the Devil Qi also kept spinning strangely.

One moment it was drifting east, the next moment it was heading west.

There was no way to catch the correct direction at all.

“It should be this area. I just don’t know where exactly it is,”Su Yu murmured softly.

He looked around and secretly used the eye of the soul to see through everything.

However, there was nothing special under his gaze.

It was the same even underground. Everything was very normal.

After checking for a long time, there was no trace of the ancient tomb of the Devil sect. Su Yu could not help but be suspicious.

“Is my guess wrong?”Su Yu stared at the Ultimate Yin Devil Qi.

Could it be that the Holy Devil was not in the ancient tomb, so he could not find the location of the ancient tomb?

While Su Yu was deep in thought, a light cracking sound interrupted his thoughts.

It was the sound of a tree branch being crushed.

Although it was weak, how could he avoid Su Yu’s detection?

Without thinking, the Xuan Dao Energy in his body shook violently, and a materialized ripple swept out.

Instantly, a delicate cry was heard.

Looking back, Su Yu realized that it was Su Cai’er who had cheated the time Crystal and ran away!

“It’s You?”With a tap of his toes, the Xuan Dao energy rolled back when it was about to attack her.

Su Cai’er’s face was slightly pale, and her eyes were full of surprise.

It was as if she was amazed at Su Yu’s cultivation that did not match her age.

“Why are you here?”Su Yu thought that Su Cai’er was a liar, so her attitude was naturally not very good.

Su Cai’er did not feel Su Yu’s coldness. She blinked her bright eyes and said, “I came to look for you. I haven’t finished leading the way.”

Leading the way?

Su Yu was slightly stunned.

He looked at her for a while and finally found that there was a not-so-weak hidden wound on her back.

It should have been left behind by some kind of fatal attack.

Su Cai’er should have been seriously injured or dead. It was only because of some special skills that she barely survived.

Moreover, that injury was left behind just now.

“Are you injured?”Su Yu asked.

If Su Cai’er was really just acting, just to get the time crystal, there was no need for her to act so realistically.

One could imagine that the chase just now was not an act, but real!

Su Cai’er pursed her lips slightly and shook her head, “I’m fine. The guest’s matter is more important.”

How was she fine?

That internal injury was still there. Although it was not life-threatening, pain was unavoidable.

But at this moment, she was still carrying her injured body to look for Su Yu.

“Is it worth it? It’s just the crystallization of a hundred years.”Su Yu asked.

Su Cai’er said, “It’s worth it! But it’s not for the money. It’s because mother once taught me that I must keep my promise.”

Just for a promise?

Looking at the little girl in front of him, that pair of clear and pure eyes, Su Yu’s heart was moved. He smiled and said, “You have a good mother.”

To be able to teach such a child, a mother must be very special.

“Guest, where do you need to go?”Su Cai’er asked again.

Su Yu pointed at the barren land in front of him. “I’ve already arrived.”

Ah?

Su Cai’er looked around and reluctantly took out her spatial storage device. She said, “I’m sorry, Guest. I was unable to successfully lead the way for you. I’ll return the one hundred time Crystal to you.”

Since she hadn’t finished leading the way, she naturally couldn’t take money from others.

“There’s no need to return it.”Su Yu paused and said, “Let me ask you a question. This money is still yours.”

With the little girl’s character, she probably wouldn’t take money from others for no reason.

It was better to let her answer a question in return.

“Okay, okay, you ask.”Sure enough, the little girl’s eyes lit up.

Su Yu stared at the ruins in front of her and said confusedly, “I want to know, what is this place?”
