Chapter 238 Demon-Eating Rat Tribe

"Senior Demon-Eating Rat! We came here with no ill intentions!"

"Everyone who comes here says they have no ill intentions!"

"I'm different from them. I was knocked unconscious and sent here!"

"You're a liar! Let me ask you, who knocked you out and sent you here?"

"The boy said that the senior doesn't know him either, he is a friend of mine!"

"They can't even speak clearly. What's the point of keeping them? Just eat them both!" The Rat King looked at Ye Qi and the other man who were lying non-stop and ignored them. He turned around and informed his rat descendants.

"Hey guys, it's time for a snack!" A group of little mice that had just become monsters had greed in their eyes, as if they hadn't seen this kind of delicacy for a long time and were craving it to death.

No matter how hard Ye Qi and the others struggled, they were unable to escape the rat demons' restraints. But just as they were about to be dragged into a larger cave on the back of a mound, Ye Qi hurriedly shouted, "Senior! I can untie the demonic barrier in your body!"

"Guys! Let him live first!"

Following the order from the Rat King, the little demon-eating rats reluctantly put down the delicious food that was about to enter their mouths.

"Boy! How do you know about such things as demonic barriers?"

"Not only does this kid know about the Demon Barrier, he also knows about the Demon Prison. Looking at your appearance, you must have fought with a powerful being from the Demon Prison, which is why there's residual demonic energy in your body, right?"

"My dear brother, your guess is correct. The demonic barrier in my body is caused by this. I have used all my cultivation in the past few decades to temporarily suppress the demonic barrier. But in recent years, for some reason, not only does the demonic energy in my body seem to be rioting, but even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has a trace of barely perceptible demonic energy. Since my dear brother is so confident, can you tell me what method can help me get rid of the trouble of the demonic barrier?"

"As for the solution, you'll know once you give it a try, senior!" Seeing that the Rat King was extremely interested in what he said, Ye Qi walked forward and stretched out his hand to hold the black blood vessels on the Rat King's arm that had begun to slowly spread towards his heart.

A moment later, when the Rat King suddenly opened his eyes, a demonic energy instantly burst out from his body, shocking Ye Qi so much that he took several steps back before he could steady himself.

"Little brother, can you please excuse me for a moment?"

The Rat King's expression of surprise was obviously filled with a hint of pleasure. Seeing Ye Qi nodded, he stepped into the air and jumped lightly to the top of the mountain.

"Such a powerful strength! I really wonder when I can be like Senior Rat King and walk on air without relying on any external things!"

"Young Master's future achievements will definitely surpass those of Senior Rat King!" Shuang'er said to Ye Qi.

"I didn't expect Shuang'er to be so sweet. She's much better than Qingqing, who has a sharp tongue but a kind heart!"

"It can be seen that Madam still has the young master in her heart. Perhaps she has her own reasons for devoting herself to Master Xiao. After all, without Madam's help, the young master would have had a hard time escaping Qinghuafang, right?"

"Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's hurry up and make sure Senior Rat King doesn't get anxious waiting!"

As Ye Qi spoke, he used his spiritual power to control the Yixi sword and stood up in the air, but Shuang'er just stood there, fiddling with the hem of her skirt with her jade fingers, looking at a loss!

"Forget Shuang'er isn't a cultivator. I'll take you up there!"

Ye Qi didn't ask Shuang'er's wishes. He just reached out and put his arms around her soft waist and flew to the top of the mountain.

"There's no one here. Can you tell me who your master is, little brother?"

"My master passed away many years ago, I'm afraid even you, the senior, may not have heard of her!"

"Legend has it that since the Yixi Sword was forged, anyone who forcibly wields it will suffer a backlash against their soul. In serious cases, they may even die like the little girl Yuexi from the Qiongyang Sect, with their soul and spirit completely destroyed!"

"Destroyed? Impossible. Master died beside me. To save her daughter, she forcibly performed some kind of secret technique, and finally..."

"Sure enough... When I saw the look in your brow... Never mind, let's not talk about this matter anymore. Since you are Xi'er's disciple, you can call me... Grandmaster Uncle!"

"Uncle Master? Are you also from the Qiongyang Sect?"

"That's not the case. About ten years ago, that girl came to my Demon-Devouring Rat Clan. I heard that her child's soul was somewhat different from that of ordinary people, so she learned a secret technique from my brother here. I just didn't expect that the situation would eventually come to that point!"

"It's me who harmed Master. If it weren't for my recklessness, which put Junior Sister in dire straits, Master would never have been able to..."

"Boy! Everyone has their own destiny. Although your master's life was short, it was meaningful. Since you are her disciple, I hope you can continue what she left unfinished!"

"Unfinished business? The conflict between humans and demons that Master-uncle mentioned?"

"Well! What the demon race wants is just a small piece of land, but now the human race is at its peak of prosperity. In a world where strength is respected, the demon race has become the evil in their mouths. Only Xi'er is the one person in this world who I can recognize. It's a pity that God is jealous of talented people!"

"I always feel that Master is still alive, because after that night, Junior Sister disappeared with Master's body!"

"Impossible! This secret technique is too heaven-defying. If used, you will surely die. Eternal life is worse than reincarnation! But don't overthink it. You have a much greater responsibility than your master!"

"my responsibility?"

"Yes! Possessing rare treasures from heaven and earth is both a great responsibility bestowed by heaven and a burden you must bear. I just didn't expect the legendary holy object to be within you. I thought the Water Spirit Pearl would be unearthed from the altar of the Luoshen Clan in Zhongzhou. After all, their ancestor, the daughter of Luoshui, was the previous owner of the Water Spirit Pearl!"

"The daughter of Luoshui?"

"Hey! Look at me, I can't stop talking. I've said enough today. As for the things you're curious about, you'll know when you get to Zhongzhou. The most urgent thing is to help me get rid of the demonic barrier in my body. There have been signs of it erupting in the past few days. Fortunately, you came in time!"

"The process of purifying the demonic energy may be somewhat painful. You must endure it. Otherwise, at best you will be seriously injured and your mind will be completely devoured by the demonic energy. At worst, the consequences will be unimaginable, and you may even die on the spot..."

"Don't worry, kid, just use whatever tricks you have. I have never admitted defeat in my life!" The Rat King said as he sat down on the spot under the pavilion nearby. Seeing that Ye Qi was a little hesitant, he immediately threw out a jade card and gave it to Shuang'er.

"Senior! What is this?"

"This contains a barrier that can withstand the full force of a Nascent Soul Realm expert. If anyone breaks in while I'm healing, you will crush it!"

Shuang'er touched the pattern on the jade token and then nodded heavily.

Ye Qi watched Shuang'er turn her back and look around vigilantly, then he sat down as well. Then he saw him summon the power of the Water Spirit Pearl in his palm.

"That kid is about to take action!"
