Song Shuhang: “…”

　　He recalled what Senior White Two had said just now about the Demonic Tribulation Realm––there was a contaminated Seventh Stage that was about to enter that place to transcend their tribulation. So, he planned on taking the opportunity to make them also enter that place through the backdoor.

　　Song Shuhang quickly associated it to the one who had just sent a message to the Nine Provinces Number One Group, the admin Senior Skylark…

　　It was too coincidental!

　　When Senior Skylark was researching the demonized mouse, she had encountered an accident and ended up getting contaminated by the evil energy of the Netherworld. Moreover, it wasn’t ordinary evil energy. According to her speculations, the energy that contaminated her was at least of the Immortal rank.

　　Now, she had sent a message saying that she wanted to transcend the demonic tribulation.

　　Song Shuhang was 99% sure that Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark was the same ‘contaminated person’ that was going to transcend the demonic tribulation.

　　In other words, Senior Skylark’s body had already completely demonized, and she had become a demon of the Netherworld. But, unlike other demons, her consciousness remained very clear, completely free from the interference of the Netherworld Realm––in this regard, her state was similar to that demonic hamster acquaintance of Song Shuhang.

　　However, the demonic hamster was like that because it was Senior White Two’s pet. Only due to it receiving the protection of the Netherworld’s will was it able to remain free from the interference of the Netherworld Realm.

　　Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark, on the other hand was still able to go online and chat, and her willpower seemed to be very strong, though her body had been demonized.

　　As Song Shuhang was thinking, True Monarch Yellow Mountain’s phone vibrated once more.

　　It was a series of photos sent by Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark.

　　“Before I go transcend the tribulation, I got Fellow Daoist Snow Wolf to take a series of beautiful photos of me. Currently, I’m in a state where my beauty can simply be said to be at its peak. @Frice Reckless Mad Saber, wait until I finish transcending this tribulation, I will come for you,” Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark said.

　　At this moment, Skylark’s entire body had already turned deep purple; there was even a thick and dark evil energy surrounding her body.

　　However, nothing changed about Senior Skylark besides her skin color. Her long blue hair was still long and dense, like a cape sprawled out behind her, and her long blue eyelashes remained very conspicuous.

　　“As I imagined, with my entire body turning purple, I’ve become even more beautiful,” Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark continued.

　　Frice Reckless Mad Saber: “…”

　　Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark sent another message. “Alright, that’s it. I’m going to transcend the demonic tribulation now! I hope I can come back alive. Fellow Daoists, I will see you again when I reach the Eighth Stage!”

　　After that, she went offline.

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　Northern River’s Loose Cultivator looked at Song Shuhang. “Little friend Shuhang, is the Demonic Tribulation Realm we are going to be entering in a while…”

　　Could there be such a coincidence?

　　At this moment, Senior White Two’s voice resounded in Song Shuhang’s mind. “Are you ready? The other party is already preparing to enter the Demonic Tribulation Realm.”

　　Song Shuhang said, “Just another moment!”

　　Then, he said to the members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, “I think that it should be fine. Senior Skylark just said that she will be transcending her tribulation, and we will be entering through the backdoor, so there’s no more time left. Seniors, are you going to the Demonic Tribulation Realm with me?”

　　“I’m coming with you,” Su Clan’s Sixteen said with a smile, revealing cute dimples.

　　“Naturally, I wanna go too,” Venerable Spirit Butterfly said with a smile.

　　“Same here,” Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said.

　　“I don’t have much else to do anyway,” Soft Feather said happily.

　　The fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, Shi, Little Cai, and Demon Monarch Nirvana, no one refused to go.

　　At first, several of the more cautious daoists were still seriously contemplating as to whether they should go to the dangerous Demonic Tribulation Realm or not, but when they saw their fellow daoists agreeing to go one by one, they gritted their teeth and decided to accompany them.

　　“Then, let’s go,” Song Shuhang said.

　　As long as there wasn’t a problem with his Inner World, even if a mishap were to occur, he would be able to directly pull the daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group there.

　　Besides, he still had the ‘flat imperial hat’ in hand. Although its power of virtue still hadn’t recovered, it should be able to help them get through a wave once it was worn by the virtuous lamia.

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　At this moment, Senior White Two’s voice rang inside Song Shuhang’s ear. “Go!”

　　In the following moment, everyone in the underground laboratory felt their body getting affected by an invisible force… And then, they all got a rather unpleasant feeling.

　　They all felt as if they were an ordinary person that was placed inside a washing machine which then spun crazily. After that, it felt like they were stuffed into a noodle maker machine and got squeezed into long strips…

　　This unpleasant feeling lasted for over 20 seconds before things went back to normal.

　　Thrice Reckless Mad Saber said, “My God, I almost thought that I was going to die. Do I look like noodles now?”

　　Northern River’s Loose Cultivator bitterly said, “I feel like I’ve been twisted into a fried dough twist.”

　　“You are all still fine. I feel like I’ve been tied up into a bowknot, more than one time.” Fairy Lychee rubbed her face. After experiencing that feeling once, she didn’t want to go through it another time.

　　“Well, there’s nothing we can do. After all, it is the back door.” True Monarch Yellow Mountain sighed, and then looked around. “Is this the Demonic Tribulation Realm?”

　　The Demonic Tribulation Realm was somewhat different from the Heavenly Tribulation Realm. The place was filled with holy and pure energy, the energy that the demons of the Netherworld hated the most.

　　Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue asked, “Has anyone seen Fellow Daoist Skylark?”

　　True Monarch White Crane looked around. “Nope… Perhaps she’s far away from us.”

　　Since the Demonic Tribulation Realm and the Heavenly Tribulation Realm were similar, the space they were in had to be huge. Perhaps the entire Demonic Tribulation Realm was as big as the entirety of China.

　　They snuck in through the back door, so they were probably hundreds or even thousands of kilometers away from Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark. Being unable to immediately find her was quite normal.

　　Song Shuhang asked, “Are we all here? Did we lose anyone?”

　　“Everyone’s here,” True Monarch Yellow Mountain replied. As the group leader. the first thing he did when they got there was to count the number of people present.

　　“That’s good.” Song Shuhang let out a sigh of relief. With Senior White Two handling it personally, it was indeed safe.

　　Fairy Lychee asked, “What do we do now? Do we study the guided missile first? Or go look for Senior Skylark?”

　　“It doesn’t matter, we can do both at the same time.” Venerable Spirit Butterfly revealed a slight smile. He stretched out his hand, and a group of butterflies appeared from his body.

　　These butterflies flapped their wings and flew towards all parts of the Demonic Tribulation Realm… This was a powerful reconnaissance technique with a large area of effect.

　　After seeing Venerable Spirit Butterfly’s move, Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue, True Monarch Yellow Mountain, True Monarch Eternal Fire, and other seniors also executed their own reconnaissance techniques.

　　They used recon puppets, small recon aircraft, or scripture pages.

　　Many methods of reconnaissance were executed to search for the demon who was in the middle of transcending its tribulation in the Demonic Tribulation Realm. After all, it wasn’t certain that it was Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark that was transcending her tribulation.

　　However, even if who they found was Xuan Nu Sect’s Skylark, they wouldn’t be able to interfere with her tribulation, or they’d make the demonic tribulation stronger.

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　Song Shuhang asked, “Then, should we set up new formations?”

　　The guided missile still had power of the Seventh+ Stage. Without defensive formation, most of the daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group would find it hard to resist the power of the guided missile.

　　As he was speaking, Senior White Two’s voice resounded in Song Shuhang’s ear. “You don’t need to set up defensive formation, it’s a waste of time. Since I’m in a good mood today, I will handle everything. You only need to detonate the guided missile. I will make sure to protect you, but still allow you to experience the power of the guided missile to the greatest extent wherein there won’t be any danger to your lives.”

　　Song Shuhang blinked. “Then, Senior White, do you want to hear another joke?”

　　Senior White Two said, “Your joke couldn’t even make me laugh. It was worse than Lady Onion’s joke. Forget it, there’s no need for a joke today. Just know that you owe me one. You just have to remember to share something fun with me next time.”

　　Song Shuhang quickly replied, “No problem.”

　　Senior White Two said, “Tell the others who need to be defended to stand around you, I will give you a ‘party’ status.”

　　❄️❄️❄️

　　After conversing with Senior White Two, Song Shuhang hurriedly said to the others, “Don’t worry about setting up a formation anymore. I just received a message. Because of the limited time, that senior will form a ‘party’ with us and allow us to experience the power of the guided missile while protecting us from any harm that the missile might cause. So, everyone who needs protection, gather around me.”

　　“That’s great,” True Monarch Yellow Mountain said.

　　Other than Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue and Venerable Spirit Butterfly, everyone went to stand around Song Shuhang.

　　I wonder what Senior White Two’s ‘party’ will be like.

　　As Shuhang was in thought, a white palm appeared in the void. The palm moved quickly, and then a circular eight trigram formation appeared and landed on top of Song Shuhang’s head, covering the other members of the group as well.

　　On the eight trigram formation, there was a series of ancient characters with great beauty. Furthermore, they had the automatic translation feature.

　　Song Shuhang looked at the string of ancient characters, which read as [Simplified Fixed Health Undying State].

　　What kind of ‘party’ was that?

　　What in the world was that Fixed Health thing? Some kind of cheat?

　　As he was in thought, the huge eight trigrams broke into countless smaller eight trigrams, which then fell on everyone around Song Shuhang.

　　Senior White Two said, “Stop wasting time. Bring out your guided missile. With the status I added, you don’t have to worry about losing a single strand of hair.”

　　Song Shuhang: “…”

　　“This is it?” True Monarch Yellow Mountain looked at the small eight trigrams formation that floated in front of him, feeling a little insecure.

　　“Little friend Shuhang, release the guided missile,” Venerable Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue said with a slight smile. “Believe in him.”

　　At the same time, Venerable Spirit Butterfly also turned around with a slight smile on his face.

　　The guided missile only had power of the Seventh+ Stage, while Spirit Butterfly and Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue were both peak Seventh Stage Venerables.

　　Even if the small eight trigrams weren’t effective, Spirit Butterfly and Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue could still work together to protect the group of fellow daoists.

　　Song Shuhang understood what the two Venerables meant.

　　And so, he brought out the guided missile, and then unsealed it step by step.

　　“Boom~”

　　The guided missile exploded. This time, it was no longer like fireworks—the power of the explosion truly came out.
