The black Scarlet Heaven Sword said, “I can smell an inner demon.”
Both of them were inner demons, so when an inner demon was born in Young Master Hai’s clone, it had immediately been able to sense it.
When he heard this, Song Shuhang suddenly put on a serious face, clasped his palms together, and began to silently recite words from his mouth.
Senior Turtle asked curiously, “What are you reciting?”
“I’m praying to Senior White,” said Song Shuhang. During this trip, not only did he manage to find Young Master Hai’s clone, but he also got himself an inner demon out of it!
“…” Senior Turtle.
Song Shuhang asked, “Speaking of which, how do I extract the inner demon from his clone? There isn’t a method on how to extract inner demons inside the ❮Heavenly Tribulation Grand Banquet❯…”
The black Scarlet Heaven Sword said “As a saber… Ack, as a sword, I don’t have much knowledge of things that are not related to fighting.”
Elder Sister White Dragon added, “So far, the only method I know that can forcibly extract an inner demon from a person is Soft Feather’s inner demon clone technique.”
Ever since the ancient era, inner demons had always been one of the most troublesome things for cultivators. How to extract inner demons from a cultivator was a difficult problem to tackle.
“You should capture him for now, and ask a big shot later,” Senior Turtle said. “I’ll contact the Great Northern Emperor, and see if he has any input on this.”
Lady Onion reminded Shuhang, “You can also ask Pavilion Master Chu. She has done quite a bit of research on inner demons.”
“I almost forgot about Pavilion Master Chu.” Song Shuhang gently patted Lady Onion’s green onion sprouts.
When Pavilion Master Chu was at the Sixth Stage, she had gotten herself entangled with an unkillable inner demon. That inner demon stuck with her throughout her whole life, all the way to the Ninth Stage Realm. Moreover, this inner demon later stepped out onto its own path of immortality, and became Pavilion Master Chu Two.
Song Shuhang looked at the weakened close of Young Master Hai, and said, “I’ll send him to Pavilion Master Chu and see if she knows of any way to deal with the inner demon.”
Young Master Hai’s clone slowly closed his eyes, not daring to look at Song Shuhang. In the entire universe, except for real peerless powerhouses, nobody truly dared to look directly into Tyrannical Song’s eyes.
Song Shuhang looked down at Young Master Hai, and said after some pondering, “Young Master Hai, you’ve suddenly become so weak. This really makes me feel quite unsettled.”
“…” Young Master Hai.
As he faced the Young Master Hai, Song Shuhang clearly felt how quickly his strength and realm had been progressing.
He usually hung around the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, who were his seniors. As such, Song Shuhang had always considered himself their junior, and this had not changed even as his strength increased.
But as he looked at Young Master Hai now, the difference in strength between them was truly big.
He could still remember how powerless he had been when he had been resisting the joint forces of Young Master Hai and Demon Monarch Anzhi not too long ago, but now he felt as if Young Master Hai was too weak.
He had always regarded Young Master Hai as someone akin to the final boss of a dungeon. This was how deep of an impression Young Master Hai left on him half a year ago.
“Senior Tyrannical Song, are you having fun?” Young Master Hai’s clone said in a hoarse voice. “You’re a dignified Eighth Stage Profound Sage, yet you’re saying that I’ve suddenly become weak. Surely, you must be joking.”
Song Shuhang paused, and then smiled slightly. “Not at all. It feels quite boring.”
He did not bother explaining to Young Master Hai that he was a fake Profound Sage, or that he was at the Sixth Stage Realm, and was only a small cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm half a year ago.
There was no need to explain, as there was no point to it.
“…” Young Master Hai.
Song Shuhang said, “My obsession with you has come to an end.”
Senior Turtle asked, “Are you not going to kill him and sever the karma between you two?”
The black Scarlet Heaven Sword also asked, “Aren’t you going to end this and put everything behind you?”
“If I do end up running into his main body, it won’t be too late to kill him at that point. This is a problem between him and Sixteen and me.” Song Shuhang reached out and sent Young Master’s clone into his Inner World.
The only difference from before was that the obsession he had toward Young Master Hai was gone.
“Mm-hm.” Sixteen nodded.
Song Shuhang took out his phone and checked the time. “It’s almost time. We should head back now. Senior Turtle, we’ll have to trouble you again.”
Although Senior Turtle’s strength had been sealed, it could still perform short-distance spatial teleportation.
Previously, it was the one who had brought Song Shuhang and his whole party from the Jiangnan area to this stretch of sea.
Senior Turtle said suddenly, “By the way, you hit me twice in the face before and did me dirty once. My heart is in pain.”
“???” Song Shuhang.
When did I do such a thing?
“I’m not happy.” The Senior Turtle stood up, and began to dance out of nowhere.
Lady Onion quivered on its turtle shell.
Song Shuhang blurted out, “Uh… sorry?”
He had always been a man who recognized his mistakes and corrected them, unless it was something outside of his control.
Senior Turtle said, “That’s so insincere. And if apologies were useful, what would be the point of having the police?”
The black Scarlet Heaven Sword interjected, “Fellow Daoist Turtle, that line is too old-fashioned. It isn’t even popular anymore.”
Senior Turtle said, “Scarlet Heaven Sword, please don’t rend my heart any further. My heart is very fragile today, maybe my period has come.”
Song Shuhang was surprised. “Senior Turtle, are you a female turtle?”
“Can’t a male turtle also have a period?” Senior Turtle rolled his eyes. “Your Expert’s Appraisal can even make men pregnant!”
Elder Sister White Dragon interjected, “If it’s a male turtle, maybe it’s not a period, but rather bleeding hemorrhoids.”
Senior Turtle sighed. “How stifling…”
Song Shuhang smiled, and said, “Alright, there’s no need to talk in such a roundabout manner. Senior Turtle, is there something you want?”
Senior Turtle said, “I want to set up an amusement park in your Inner World… Some time ago, when I was watching TV, I saw a roller coaster where people would go upside down and scream. It looked really exciting.”
“…” Song Shuhang.
“We can set up the upside-down roller coaster a bit higher so that it doesn’t interfere with other things. You buy the materials, and I’ll build the amusement park and ensure that it’s exciting. In addition, we can also make various other fun rides,” Senior Turtle continued.
The Inner World was ultimately Song Shuhang’s domain, and Senior Turtle was merely a guest. If it wanted to make something, it needed to get Song Shuhang’s consent first.
Senior Turtle then added, “In addition, if this amusement park is well made, in the future, we could charge fees to those who go on the rides and earn spirit stones!”
“Sounds good,” Song Shuhang quickly agreed. “Since Senior Turtle is interested in making an amusement park, I’ll talk to the Inner World Assistant and let her allot a suitable plot of land for you.”
“Then it’s settled.” Senior Turtle happily opened a spatial gate. “Let’s get moving. By the way, what are we having for lunch today?”
“Boiled turtle soup,” Song Shuhang said. “But since we haven’t bought any soft-shelled turtles yet, we can just use sea turtles instead.”
“Kid, you’re courting death!” Senior Turtle growled.
