Realm-Hopping Martial Master
Chapter 936 - 510: Detouring and Setting Up Formations—Establishing a Foothold in the Demon Domain
Hu Yi pointed to a small island on the map and said.
"How did you come to know about this?"
Jiang Shu's voice was calm.
The Demon Monarch is high above, not to mention the Sen Hu Ancestor was intentionally hiding his whereabouts, how could Hu Yi know?
Hu Yi was silent for a moment and said, "That Demon Monarch doesn't have much life left, in desperation, he tried anything. Somehow, he heard that eating the heart of a Half-demon could alleviate Dao injuries. An elder from our clan died at his hands."
So that's how it is.
It's likely the Demon Monarch never imagined that these tiny Half-demons could secretly gather intelligence, burying their hatred deep in their hearts, finally sprouting as a deadly blade at this moment.
Jiang Shu didn't speak, just looked at the map in his hand, pondering something.
"If I'm not mistaken, isn't the Sen Hu the powerful tribe you Fox People rely on?"
After a moment, Jiang Shu slowly spoke, his tone betraying no emotion.
Hu Yi nodded, with a flash of hatred in his eyes, he said, "The Sen Hu is located on Wanlin Island in the Extreme North of the Chaotic Demon Sea. They have strong bloodlines but few members, so they approached us Fox People, offering to protect us in exchange for our services."
The Fox People, being clever and smart, quickly established a comprehensive intelligence network relying on Sen Hu within just a few decades.
It could be said that Sen Hu Clan's prestigious status in the Chaotic Demon Sea relied not only on the Demon Monarch ancestor but also significantly on the contributions of the Fox People.
However, the Sen Hu Clan was born arrogant, completely denying all of the Fox People's credits, believing that with the might of the Sen Hu Clan, even without the Fox People or any other Half-demons, the same could be achieved, thus treating the Fox People increasingly poorly.
Sometimes, when hungry, they would directly eat Fox People, saying nonsense like "foxes should be eaten by tigers."
"The Fox People haven't thought of breaking away from the Sen Hu?"
"But after all these years, the two races are deeply bound together. Especially since the Sen Hu claims to be sea overlords; if the Fox People broke away, they might meet a tragic end, so they have to hide their hatred deep in their hearts for now."
Originally, Hu Yi believed there would never be a chance for revenge in this lifetime, and he himself was sent by the Sen Hu Clan on this extremely dangerous mission, feeling a sense of desolation in his heart.
Who knew that fortune would turn, and the opportunity for revenge would be right before his eyes. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
"The Fox People removing a Demon Monarch for the Human Clan, I suppose this merit should be enough for the Human Clan to accept us."
The weight of Hu Yi's allegiance was undeniable.
But what truly mattered was not an aging, dying Demon Monarch, but a nail with deep-seated hatred against the Demon Race, and this extremely detailed map.
...
The pathway to Immortality is elusive and unreachable.
For Jiang Shu, the immediate task now in the Demon Domain was to establish a foundation of his own, allowing him to safely traverse the Two Realms.
Not to mention, a war between the two tribes was imminent, and killing a Demon Monarch could alleviate considerable pressure.
According to Hu Yi, the Chaotic Demon Sea was currently a mix of chaos with dragons and fish coexisting, highly unstable.
It's merely temporarily calm under the pressure of the Demon Monarchs.
If, at this moment, a Demon Monarch suddenly died unexpectedly, it would likely explode the Chaotic Demon Sea, presenting the best opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
The sea roared, waves surged from time to time, with continuous sudden rains pounding down.
The Chaotic Demon Sea stretched endlessly, and due to the war, various sizes of sea vessels set sail to gather resources across different sea areas. In such disorder, no one noticed the appearance of an ordinary sea ship.
Hu Yi stood behind Jiang Shu, writing furiously, recording intelligence about the Chaotic Demon Sea.
Three days ago, he found an excuse to disembark at the coast, refusing the company of the strong man with horns and others, just letting them proceed according to the established plan, finding another sea ship to set out again.
On that day, he found the mysterious mist around his master had vanished, his figure no longer seemed real or illusory as before. It seemed as if it had stepped into reality, and with it, the aura of power also disappeared, revealing no hint of strangeness.
"My lord, at our current speed, we will reach our destination by tomorrow."
Three days ago, they were still millions of miles away.
That was Hu Yi's first encounter with the Divine Skills of a Great Cultivator.
He saw his master lightly wave a hand, tearing open a large hole in the space before him, with razor-like chaotic void currents whistling constantly inside, seemingly able to devour everything. He had no doubt that if he dared to step inside, he'd be torn to pieces by the currents in the next instant, dying on the spot.
Yet, his master navigated it with ease, guiding the small boat inside, and the next appearance in the Chaotic Demon Sea was already millions of miles away.
Is this the Divine Skills of a Great Cultivator?
Although Hu Yi knew of the means of Great Cultivators, his low strength meant he seldom encountered these powerful beings, let alone see them in action.
As the saying goes, seeing is believing; only then did he truly understand why the strong could hold dominion and claim invincibility.
If only one day I could wield such means.
Thinking this, he became even more respectful towards Jiang Shu.
"My lord, up ahead is the chaotic current region, filled with rampant currents and powerful Sea Beasts; some have reached the Transformation Realm. Typically, no one dares approach, and some islands here are home to a few strong tribes with scarce bloodlines, prompting the Sen Hu Ancestor to choose this place for seclusion."
Holding the map, Hu Yi softly spoke to Jiang Shu, who was closing his eyes to deduce the 'Immortal' character order,
