"How long was I asleep for?"
"It's been six hours."
Su Chen took a pill and swallowed it. This was an Origin Increasing Pill. Just one pill could replenish a large amount of Origin Qi. With Origin Qi, Su Chen recovered even faster. In just a few moments, he had basically regained his ability to move.
Leaving the turtle shell, Su Chen asked, "Old Turtle, where are we now?"
Jin Xuanwu turned his head and said, "I don't know. The sea is pitch-black everywhere. Black clouds cover the sky and there was a heavy downpour just now. It's impossible to tell the direction."
"Then let's go to the place with the densest Demon Qi."
"That's right. Why didn't I think of this idea?" Jin Xuanwu immediately changed directions.
"Junior Brother, there's something I need to tell you."
"What?"
Jin Xuanwu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I seem to know the background of that black-clothed man from before."
"You know?"
Jin Xuanwu nodded. "The flying sword he used had a sliver of the power of shadows attached to it. It can conceal the movements of his attacks to a great extent, catching people off guard. This method of refining artifacts was the unique technique of a master who taught me how to refine artifacts. Back then, he was in charge of refining weapons for the experts of the Orthodoxy's Shadow Department."
The Orthodoxy's Shadow Department?
Su Chen asked, "Yue Ya'er, do you know what this Shadow Department does?"
Yue Ya'er nodded and said, "The Orthodoxy has several departments, such as the Judicial Department, the Enforcement Department, the Disciplinary Department, and so on. These are all departments on the surface. In the dark, there's also a place called the Shadow Department. It's said that this Shadow Department is the strongest in the Orthodoxy. It gathers the most skilled experts of the Orthodoxy and is responsible for carrying out missions that cannot see the light of day."
"It seems that many people are dissatisfied with me becoming bishop."
Yue Ya'er said, "The factions within the Orthodoxy have always been tangled and complicated. Even when my grandfather was on the throne, he could not say that he completely controlled the Orthodoxy."
Su Chen shook his head. "Forget it. I'll settle this debt sooner or later. For now, we should go to Evil Demon Island to save people."
"Teacher, are you alright?
With such a heavy injury, the Evil Demon Island might be even more dangerous. "
Yue Ya 'er said, "Let me make this clear in advance. I can't help at all. Although I'm also at the Foundation Establishment Realm, I've never fought before. At most, I occasionally hunt."
Su Chen smiled and rubbed Yue Ya 'er's head. "Don't worry. I'm not weak enough to need the help of a twelve-year-old girl like you."
"Nonsense, I'm already 13 years old, okay? I'm already an adult."
"Alright, alright, alright. You're an adult. If you encounter any danger, you just need to hide in your turtle shell. Not causing trouble for me is the greatest help you can provide."
"Sir, how dare you look down on me!"
Yue Ya 'er bared her teeth and pounced forward, wanting to duel with Su Chen.
Su Chen chuckled and knocked Yue Ya 'er's head over.
"Old Tortoise, your tortoise shell is badly damaged. Let me help you repair it."
Su Chen took out a pile of Spirit Ores and began to refine them.
Jin Xuanwu said in surprise, "Little Junior Brother, you've become a Spirit Weapon Master?
That's great. Oh right, Little Junior Brother, you're also a Divine Pattern Master, right? Carve a few Divine Pattern Formations on my tortoise shell to increase its defense. "
"No problem."
After some repairs, the tortoise shell was quickly restored to its original state under Su Chen's hands. Su Chen began to carve Divine Patterns on the tortoise shell. As long as it was a Divine Pattern that could increase its defense, he would imprint it on it. It was enough to raise the tortoise shell's defense to another level.
Su Chen even injected some light energy into the tortoise shell. This way, its defense against evil spirits would be stronger.
Jin Xuanwu bared his teeth and laughed. "Thank you so much, Little Junior Brother. Old Tortoise owes you a favor. If we can successfully return to Astral City, Old Tortoise will treat you to a drink."
Su Chen blushed with shame. You dirty old tortoise actually like drinking wine.
"Please bring me along."
Yue Ya 'er asked curiously, "What kind of wine is flower wine?
Can flowers be used to brew wine? "
"Children shouldn't ask so many questions."
"I already said that I'm an adult!"
After laughing and fooling around, they could vaguely see an island in front of them.
This was one of the places with the densest demonic aura in the East Sea. Black clouds covered the sky and constantly spread out from the island. There were many evil spirits hidden in the black clouds, but because of the light energy emitted by Jin Xuanwu's tortoise shell, these evil spirits didn't dare to rashly approach.
Not long after, the two of them and the tortoise arrived at Evil Demon Island.
This island was much bigger than they had imagined. They couldn't see the end of the coastline at a glance.
Su Chen asked Yue Ya 'er to hide in the tortoise shell and then boarded the island with Jin Xuanwu.
As soon as they boarded the island, a group of strange-looking evil spirits charged over.
These evil spirits weren't the evil spirits they had encountered before. They had physical bodies and their strength was above the Foundation Establishment Realm. Among them, there were even two that had reached the Spirit Condensation Realm.
Su Chen wasn't worried at all. He directly activated the light energy on the Fish Intestine Sword and slashed out. The sword swept past and the evil spirits of the Foundation Establishment Realm were instantly killed. In the blink of an eye, only two evil spirits of the Spirit Condensation Realm were left.
"What a terrifying light energy. This kid is too much of a threat to us. Hurry up and retreat."
"No, I can't hold it in anymore. Such a delicious body, I can't wait to eat his heart!"
The two evil spirits were actually communicating with each other using language.
What made Su Chen even more surprised was that he had never heard of this language before. However, he could understand their meaning without any hindrance.
Could it be because of the Undying Inheritance?
Speaking of which, Su Chen could be considered half a demon. It wasn't strange for him to be able to understand the demon race's language.
'Ding … congratulations to host for obtaining the support skill' Demon Race Language '.'
That works too?
Su Chen entered the skill interface to take a look. This Demon Race Language actually had levels. It required more than 30,000 skill points to reach the maximum level.
It was just a language. It actually required so many skill points to reach the maximum level. Could it be that this language had other uses?
With a thought, Su Chen reached the maximum level of the Demon Race Language. He kept the Fish Intestine Sword and scolded, "You guys have big guts!"
The two evil spirits were shocked by Su Chen's voice. At the same time, they looked at Su Chen in shock. It was as if they felt that it was extremely inconceivable.
"How is this possible? How can a human brat like you speak our demon race's language?"
"Could it be that you are also a member of our demon race?"
Su Chen said coldly, "This is not something you have the qualifications to ask. Tell me, where are the other humans on the island?"
It was strange to say that Su Chen's voice seemed to carry a kind of majesty. It made the two evil spirits so scared that they didn't dare to move. They even trembled a little.
"Respected lord, if you are looking for those humans, they have already been imprisoned by Lord Mo Yun in the Death Demon Palace." One of the evil spirits said while trembling.
Su Chen frowned, "They are all imprisoned?
Including that Reincarnation Realm expert? "
"That's right. They dared to provoke Lord Mo Yun. Lord Mo Yun suppressed them all the moment he made a move."
"Who is Mo Yun?
Is he very powerful? "
"Lord Mo Yun is an ancient demon that was in deep slumber in the Death Demon Palace. He just woke up not long ago. Although his strength isn't as strong as before, he is at least at the 5th level of Reincarnation Realm."
5th level of Reincarnation Realm …
The dean was only at the 2nd level of Reincarnation Realm and wasn't a match for him.
