This passage was also opened in the heart of the scholarly faction. When the girl dressed in black stepped out of the gate, she didn’t seem worried in the slightest.

She stretched herself, and the pigeon-egg-sized pearl tied to her waist shone brightly. This pearl was definitely a treasure of great value.

“You’re finally here, Fellow Daoist Chu.” The demonic bear laughed. “Help me, join forces with me to kill these guys. Despite being a couple of bugs at the Eighth Stage Realm, they’re rather difficult to stomp.”

Song Shuhang, who was hidden in the right fist that had been shot out by the steel giant, was left speechless.

The last big shot who dared to talk to me like that was blasted apart by yours truly!

“Hehe.” The girl in black smiled faintly. She stretched out her hand and stroked her long hair, which reached her knees. “I did say that I would screw your head off the next time we meet, and I always keep my word.”

Song Shuhang, who was hidden in the steel giant’s right fist, turned his head to look around and then pointed to himself. “My head?”

No, wait… Didn’t I already give you Senior Skylark’s head? Are you not happy with your new head? Why do you still want to screw my head off?

[Call me Daddy!] At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Song Shuhang’s mind.

The voice was filled with majesty.

Song Shuhang was puzzled.

It was Fairy @#%×; she was causing trouble again.

[Senior Chu, I wasn’t the one talking just now. I don’t have any intention of being your daddy!] Another voice sounded… This time it was Song Shuhang’s own voice.

These two voices sounded directly inside Song Shuhang’s mind, and outsiders could not hear them.

This was the virtuous lamia’s way of reminding Song Shuhang of what happened between him and Pavilion Master Chu Two.

Song Shuhang looked up at the sky and fell silent for some time.

“Fellow Daoist Skylark? No, you aren’t Fellow Daoist Skylark.” Senior White looked at the girl in black curiously.

The girl’s face resembled that of Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark, but upon closer inspection, her appearance was more aligned with that of another person, Pavilion Master Chu, who only had her head remaining and was currently residing inside Song Shuhang’s Inner World.

The demonic bear said fiercely, “Fellow Daoist Chu, let’s attack together!”

“No problem, let’s fight side by side,” said Pavilion Master Chu Two earnestly, her eyes filled with aggression.

What the hell happened to Pavilion Master Chu Two while she was in the Netherworld Realm?

“Whoosh~” As the steel giant waved its right arm, the right fist that was shot out flew back to the arm and reconnected with it.

The fist that was shot out could be retracted, of course!

The steel giant entered combat mode.

“I’ll deal with Sage White. As for Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, I’ll leave him to you.” The demon bear then roared, “Kill them— Aahhh~”

All of a sudden, the demonic bear was sent flying again.

This time, it flew even higher and farther.

Its huge body spun unceasingly in the air, black blood spewing out from its mouth and fur falling off its body nonstop. Besides that, there seemed to be a couple of bear teeth that flew out of its mouth.

The scene looked painful even just from watching.

It was Pavilion Master Chu Two who had suddenly attacked the demonic bear.

The black blood of the evil demon dripped to the ground, and the evil energy contained within started corroding the soil. Every drop of blood of a Ninth Stage evil demon was poisonous to the extreme. If it was not dealt with immediately, this patch of land would become a wasteland.

At this time, the world of the golden lotus took action and “roots” similar to those of Song Shuhang’s Inner World flew out from it. These roots then penetrated into the contaminated ground and instantly absorbed the black blood, even packing up and taking the contaminated ground along.

Song Shuhang’s Inner World did not want to lose out. It also extended its roots, taking the bear fur that had fallen to the ground.

The pollution brought about by an evil demon, which was a headache for most cultivators, became nothing but nutrition for the roots.

The demonic bear finally managed to stabilize its body, its eyes fixed on the girl in black.

Its mission of testing its new helper’s strength and sincerity was now half-complete.

While there did not seem to be any sincerity coming from the other party… Her strength was far beyond its expectations.

Her power isn’t at the level of a Tribulation Transcender at all… That strike she launched at me possessed the power of a path and was at the Immortal level. She’s an Immortal.

However, even after it realized this, the demonic bear could not wrap its head around why an evil demon of the Netherworld like her would help a human cultivator.

It just didn’t make any sense.

❄️❄️❄️

Song Shuhang’s figure leaped out of the steel giant’s right fist, landing next to Sixteen and Senior White.

Pavilion Master Chu Two yawned. She then went to Song Shuhang’s side, stretched out her small hands, and touched his head lightly. It was as if she was at the supermarket, touching a watermelon to see if it was ripe.

Song Shuhang froze. “Senior Chu, let’s talk about this. How about you don’t screw my head off?”

Pavilion Master Chu Two asked, “Were you talking about eating me just now?”

“Of course not! How could I possibly even think of doing something so cruel?” Song Shuhang replied quickly. He now felt as if Pavilion Master Chu’s main body had been instigating him previously so that he would fall into this trap.

“Hm, well I do have a new head, so I’m not that interested in yours now,” Pavilion Master Chu Two said calmly. She then turned to look at Sixteen who was beside her, and said, “There’s no need to be so nervous.”

Su Clan’s Sixteen was speechless.

Sister White Dragon smiled slightly. “Actually, we weren’t nervous.”

Pavilion Master Chu Two nodded and said to Song Shuhang, “When I was wandering in the Netherworld Realm, I met this bear king. I happened to hear that they were planning on heading to the scholarly faction, and I also heard them mention the words ‘Heavenly City Fragments’ and ‘Profound Sage Tyrannical Song,’ so I decided to go with them.”

As she had been slightly concerned about what the bear king intended to do to Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, she came up with the great idea of going with the bear king to see what it was that it intended to do.

And that ultimately led to the current scene.

The demonic bear said, “As an evil demon of the Netherworld, you’re actually interested in a human cultivator? This is really beyond my expectations.”

It had surprisingly not taken the opportunity it had to leave through a spatial gate, and instead stayed in the scholarly faction. It was truly a wonder as to what the bear was planning.

Pavilion Master Chu Two said, “I switched sides pretty late in life.”

The demonic bear was puzzled.

Pavilion Master Chu Two explained patiently, “I used to be a human… Or rather, an inner demon. Eventually, I managed to gain a mind of my own and because of a little coincidence, I ended up in this state where I’m an evil demon of the Netherworld.”

The demonic bear asked, “So, you and this human are old acquaintances?”

Song Shuhang could not help but say, “Truth be told, native demons of the Netherworld can also become good friends with humans.”

The demonic hamster had a pretty good relationship with him.

The ruler of the Netherworld, Senior White Two, was one of his most powerful helpers—at least every now and then.

The demonic bear said, “Shut up! There can’t possibly be such a shameful evil demon.”

After saying that, it raised its paws and roared, “Come out, Mogal! It’s time to fight!”

[This is bad!] The driver uncle, who was quietly hiding among the crowd, grew worried.

The demonic bear wanted to summon the power of the “demon god” through the parasite in its body. If it were to fuse with the power of a demon god, the situation would become very troublesome.
