Chapter 23 - The Deal

Mother Tang Xi flew up into the sky and looked calmly in the direction of the Canglan royal palace. A few seconds later, a faint smile appeared on her face.

However, moments later, the demons heard the flustered voices of the shadow beasts.

"Something bad has happened! Qin'er's body was taken away by that monster from Heavenly Lake Mountain!"

The Abyss Realm that had been bustling with activity earlier instantly fell deathly silent.

Mother Tang Xi suddenly descended from the sky. She waved her hand and a shadow beast flew over to her. She said with a gloomy expression, "Tell me what happened!"

The shadow beast broke down and cried, "It's that great fiend!" He took Qin'er away. There's lava all over him. How can Qin'er's body withstand it..."

"Don't spout nonsense!" the old poison master coldly shouted.

"What do we do now? We can't leave either!"

"Why don't we try to break the seal?"

"How many times have we tried? Moreover, that man's movements did not affect the Abyss Realm. This means that he can't unseal the Abyss Realm!"

"Are we just going to watch Qin'er die? The soul summoning pill has a time limit. If Qin'er can't return to her own body before the time limit expires, she will die!"

The demonic beasts were quarreling. Only Mother Tang Xi remained silent as she contemplated this matter.

Mother Tang Xi was calmer than the other demonic beasts. However, what she was going to say next made everyone believe that she had gone crazy! 

"Give me the voice transmission mirror," Mother Tang Xi said to the old poison master.

The old poison master's body stiffened, "You ... you'll need to sacrifice a hundred years of cultivation to use that thing!"

The voice transmission mirror was a treasure belonging to the Abyss Realm. Its power lay in the fact that it could ignore any seal and barrier, allowing the user's voice to be transmitted over long distances. However, using it required the user to sacrifice a hundred years of cultivation. Even if everyone had cultivated for hundreds and thousands of years, cultivation was very painstaking, so almost no one had used this thing.

Moreover, the Abyss Realm's side only had hatred for the outside world, so no one would sacrifice their cultivation just to scold the people outside!

"I've lived for so long. Is a hundred years of cultivation something I can't afford? Hand it over!" Mother Tang Xi's tone was cold.

The demonic beasts shut their mouths. In the entire Abyss Realm, Mother Tang Xi was the strictest with Tang Qin. Still, Tang Qin's name had still been given to her by Mother Tang Xi.

The mirror was only the size of a palm. Mother Tang Xi poured her spiritual power into it without hesitation.

At the foot of Heavenly Lake Mountain, the man was still sleeping when he suddenly heard the sound of someone speaking to him.

"You'd better get up!" It was a woman's voice, and although she was suppressing her anger, she was still shouting in his ear.

This made the man frown uncomfortably.

"Open your eyes! Chu Yunzhuo! Get up!" Mother Tang Xi shouted the man's name again, "Chu Yunzhuo!"

Moments later, the man's eyes opened abruptly. The entire Heavenly Lake Mountain trembled as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking.

"Who is it?" Chu Yunzhuo opened his mouth slightly. He spoke in a slightly lazy tone. After all, he had just been woken up by someone.

"You snatched a woman's body today! That's not a corpse, It's the child of our Abyss Realm. Return her to me!" Mother Tang Xi shouted angrily.

Abyss Realm? Chu Yunzhuo thought for a moment. That place could be considered his neighbor, right? However, he then looked down at the 'corpse' that he had grabbed in his daze! At that time, he had not looked at it carefully. He only felt that it was soft, and because he was very sleepy, he directly pulled her body over to make it his pillow.

Chu Yunzhuo reached out and touched her again. Her long hair was soft and smooth, and her face was pleasing to the eye. Most importantly, it was very comfortable to lie down on her body.

Mother Tang Xi was a little anxious when the other party did not answer. After all, there was a time limit when using the voice transmission mirror. 

"Chu Yunzhuo! Give Qin'er back to me! I know that even though you can't get out on your own, you can send her out!"

"I won't send her to you!" Chu Yunzhuo continued to lie on Tang Qin's body, not caring at all. "It's mine now since it's with me. I'm not giving it to you!"

When Mother Tang Xi heard this, she was so angry that she smashed a mountain with one palm. She took a few deep breaths and tried to stay calm. Tang Qin's body could not be allowed to remain there. Who knew what would happen?

Mother Tang Xi spoke quickly, "Chu Yunzhuo! Let's make a deal. Although a long time has passed, I know that you are now trapped there and cannot get out! Don't you want to leave? Although I can't unseal the Abyss Realm, I have a way to unseal you."

The demonic beasts' expressions changed as soon as Mother Tang Xi finished speaking. Mother Tang Xi had never mentioned this before. If this last demon god was not sealed and reappeared in the world... 

Everyone could not help but tremble at the thought.

Mother Tang Xi clenched her fists as she had just made a huge decision. 

"I'll tell you the way to break the seal if you give Qin'er back to me!"
