Although there was a powerful enemy eyeing them from a distance, Bai Ling's mentality was still good. The one who was in a bad mood was the Supreme God Xuan Cang who was paying attention to them.
Seeing Bai Ling and Lu Linsheng getting along harmoniously, he couldn't be happy at all. Now he felt as bad as if his personal belongings were used by others without permission.
For a moment, he wanted to kill Lu Linsheng directly. Although the demon body was a rare natural anomaly, it was difficult to kill, but it was not impossible to kill. But soon, he gave up this idea. If he killed Lu Linsheng now, wouldn't it be too easy for him? Moreover, the heroine Bai Ling would also be obsessed with him, which was not what the Supreme God Xuan Cang wanted.
What he wanted was to let Bai Ling see the so-called "true heart" of her current lover and completely break this relationship that shouldn't exist.
Originally, the Supreme God Xuan Cang planned to wait until the magic dragon came and gave them a painful lesson before showing his favor, but now he has changed his mind. Before Lu Linsheng is killed by the magic dragon, he wants to arrange a good show for his heroine Bai Ling.
Supreme God Xuan Cang waved his sleeves and headed towards the East China Sea.
…
Lu Linsheng brought Bai Ling closer to the East China Sea, passing the Yuyan Mountain she had always wanted to go to. At this time, the East China Sea presented a strange and magnificent scene. There were large patches of red clouds where the sea and sky met, almost reflecting the blue sea water red. The red clouds formed various flying dragon shapes in the half of the sky. The red cloud dragons were ferocious and domineering, just like real dragons.
There is a deep and narrow crack on the seashore. Gray-black mist pours down from the crack like a waterfall, and a layer of gray smoke gathers below the crack.
The East China Sea was quieter than Lu Linsheng had expected. Not only were there no demons running around, but even the dragon that should have broken out of the seal was nowhere to be seen. He could only sense the faint scent of the dragon left behind.
He released Bai Ling from his body and hugged her. Because the journey was a bit long, she fell asleep a long time ago and has not woken up yet.
Lu Linsheng didn't wake up Bai Ling, he just held her and checked around to see if there were any other abnormalities. It was Old Beike who couldn't stand it anymore and used voice transmission to wake up Bai Ling. Bai Ling opened her eyes and saw a ball of black human-shaped wool in front of her. She was still a little dazed. Lu Linsheng noticed that she woke up and turned his head to smile at her. Of course, since he was in his original form now, he had no face at all and couldn't smile. Bai Ling couldn't even find where his eyes were, let alone see that he was smiling.
"Something seems to be wrong here." Bai Ling jumped down from Lu Linsheng's dark body and said with a sniff.
Lu Linsheng turned into a human, "I also feel that something is wrong. The dragon doesn't seem to be here."
Bai Ling: "Yes, he seems to have left. I can't smell him."
Old Shell was even more nervous. If the dragon was here, he would be scared, but the dragon was not here, and he was still scared by his own imagination, "Is he lurking around?"
Bai Ling: "If he wanted to kill me, he could just charge at me head-on. Why is he lurking? I think he is just too hungry after coming out, so he is going to find something to eat."
Old Beike was convinced by her, "Then we are really lucky, let's quickly enter that Demonic Gorge now!"
Bai Ling: "Hey, old man, I noticed that your expression changes very quickly, and you even kept talking and crying to me on the way."
Old Beike was silent for a moment, feeling a little guilty, "We're already here, let's just go in and take a look." The fact that Lu Linsheng had wrapped himself in white silk and hadn't eaten all the way made Old Beike feel a little relieved.
Although they had some doubts, they quickly entered the Demonic Gorge due to the threat of the demon dragon. Just as their figures disappeared into the crack, the figure of the Supreme God Xuan Cang appeared in front of the crack. He waved his hand, and the crack suddenly closed, turning into a small tripod that fell into his hand. The original Demonic Gorge crack was still in place without any abnormality.
It turns out that the so-called 'Demon Gorge' that Bai Ling and the others had entered before was just a trap set by Supreme God Xuan Cang.
The Supreme God Xuan Cang attached the Mountain Guarding Tripod, one of the sacred artifacts of the UFO Mountain, to the entrance of the Demonic Gorge with a blinding method, luring Bai Ling and the others into the net. This Mountain Guarding Tripod can even trap gods, so it is naturally very easy to trap a little dragon and a demon body that has not yet matured. The Tripod can isolate the breath, and at this time, Xuan Cang's purpose is certainly not to protect the two people from the dragon, but to see something interesting.
He returned to the UFO Mountain Temple, floated the small tripod in the air, and looked down at the situation inside. At the same time, he grabbed a phantom of the tripod and handed it to his disciples and immortal servants, and instructed them: "Disciples, send them to the lower world to eliminate demons. Those demons that are captured, whether dead or alive, should be put into the tripod. Remember, only demons are needed, not monsters."
The fairies on UFO Mountain didn't understand what was going on, but they followed his instructions and went down to the mortal world to look for monsters.
The Supreme God Xuan Cang wants to use magic to feed the demon body in the cauldron.
Xuan Cang, as a supreme god, has lived for many years. In his memory, there are such demonic bodies. This is a very strange existence. Even he doesn't know how this thing is produced, but he knows that the demonic body will be changed by the things it devours. The stronger their devouring ability is, the more obvious their weaknesses are - whatever they devour will be affected by it, even if the impact is insignificant, but it will accumulate over time, and it is obvious what it will become in the end.
Just like when Lu Linsheng was in the Demon Gorge, he devoured mostly demons born in the Demon Gorge. Those demons had never seen the outside world, and most of them were dominated by greed and were confused. So Lu Linsheng was also confused except for the inherited obsession and vague memories. When he left the Demon Gorge and began to devour various demons in the human world, he got more and more fragmented memories, and was also affected by various more complex emotions, and his joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, and desires became more and more obvious.
The Supreme God Xuan Cang remembered the demonic body that appeared a long time ago. When it first appeared, it also caused a bloody storm. Because most of these things were born in sinful places and were originally the embodiment of "evil", the demonic body committed evil everywhere, causing great suffering to all living beings. At that time, there was no fairy court, and there were still several gods, but they could not do anything to him. Later, in order to stop him, hundreds of thousands of pious and kind monks from the Western Buddhist Kingdom went to convert him, but he swallowed them all. As a result, the demonic body was influenced and had a "kind heart".
He began to hate his own behavior and could not accept eating any living creature. He also felt guilty about his previous killings. He changed from a big devil to a monk, doing good deeds everywhere and restraining his appetite. But this was against nature. The body of a demon would become weak if it did not eat flesh and blood for a long time. He became weaker and weaker, and finally starved to death.
The Supreme God Xuan Cang just wanted to see what Lu Linsheng, the demonic body, would become after swallowing so many demons. When he reveals his true face and wants to eat the "lover" who is accompanying him, the naive little white dragon will know to be afraid. The scene of killing each other will be exciting.
He looked at the people in the cauldron with malice and a hint of subtle pity, waiting for their tragic end.
As soon as Lu Linsheng entered the dark space, he felt something was wrong and pulled Bai Ling back, but it was too late. He hit a barrier and could only continue to fall. When he stepped on the ground, Bai Ling sat on the ground silently, holding his forehead with a look of patience.
Lu Linsheng was beside her. After a while, he saw that she didn't move, so he asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Bai Ling waved her hands. She was very afraid of heights. Although she couldn't see the process of descending from above, she instinctively felt that she was at a very high place, so she felt dizzy and her legs were weak. It took her a lot of effort to recover.
"This is not the Demonic Gorge." Lu Linsheng said with certainty. He had been in the Demonic Gorge for so long that he was familiar with the smells and auras there. It was definitely not something so strange.
Bai Ling finally raised her head, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, patted her butt and stood up. It was dark here, and she couldn't see clearly. She took out a few huge night-shining pearls and let them float in the air. Only then could she see the surrounding situation clearly. The ground was flat, and there was a metallic sound when knocking, which was a bit duller than ordinary metal. Bai Ling had never seen this kind of metal in the Flame Valley for several years.
She raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and the night pearls flew in all directions. As they moved, four towering dark green walls appeared at the end of her sight. It was a very wide space.
"It seems like we were thrown into a big box." Bai Ling said, looking up. It was pitch black above. She snapped her fingers again, and the night-shining pearls floated upwards. After reaching a certain height, they could no longer go up. At this time, when they looked at the night-shining pearls from below, they could only see a few points of light, like stars in the sky.
"I tried, but I couldn't get up," said Lu Linsheng.
"Which bastard has nothing better to do than to lock us up in here!" Bai Ling was so angry that she jumped up and pointed at his head and shouted, "Come out if you have the guts, you're playing dirty tricks..."
She had just jumped up and before she landed she was grabbed by Lu Linsheng around the waist and retreated a long distance. Bai Ling heard a bang and something hit the place where she was standing just now.
Bai Ling threw out a handful of night pearls again, and the entire huge space was covered with a layer of hazy glow. She saw clearly that the one that fell down just now was a very ugly demon. Before she could take a closer look, the sound of bangs continued. She pulled Lu Linsheng back to a dark green wall and watched as more than a dozen demons fell from it like rain. Some of these demons were dead, some were disabled, and some were confused. They gathered together and made all kinds of strange noises like a car accident scene.
Because the space is so large and has its own echo, the effect of summoning these demons is extremely terrifying.
Bai Ling knocked her head against the wall behind her: "It's so noisy."
Lu Linsheng pounced over and ate them all up. There was no more howling of demons in the whole space. Only echoes remained, and finally it returned to silence.
He returned to Bai Ling and found that her face was full of thought, as if she was thinking about some serious problem.
"Just now I thought it was the enemy who locked us up here, but now I think it's strange." Bai Ling pulled him to analyze, "Look, maybe they locked us up here to save me and prevent us from being found by the dragon. They haven't forgotten to send you food."
Old Shell: "My little master, you are confused! How can I have good intentions by locking you up in this shabby place!"
Lu Linsheng said to Bai Ling: "Well, you are right."
Old Shell: “…” I always feel out of place because I am not young enough and cannot keep up with your thinking.
Bai Ling: "So which bastard... son of a bitch locked us up!" After guessing that the other party might have good intentions, Bai Ling was very particular about replacing "grandson of a bitch" with "son of a bitch", politely giving the mastermind a higher generation status.
While they were talking, another demon was thrown down.
Bai Ling: "Is the speed of delivering food to you too fast?"
Some time passed. Bang Bang—
Bai Ling: "Whoever locked us up must have known that you wanted to eat a lot."
Lu Linsheng: “Crack, crack.”
Bai Ling: "...Are you full?"
Lu Linsheng, who had transformed into a demon, spat out a skeleton that had been eaten clean, and dragged it to her, "There's nothing in here, you can use this as a bed."
Bai Ling knocked on the demon skeleton: "The bones are too thin to sleep well, but I can do this."
She turned the skeleton over, took out a circle of shark yarn from her spirit bag, and wrapped it around it to make a hammock. "Try this. I used to sleep in a hammock like this when I was in Luoshui!"
Lu Linsheng lay down and tried it, then smiled at her: "It's comfortable to lie down."

The Supreme God Xuan Cang who was watching from outside had no expression on his face: “…” Did I lock you up in here to torture you or to let you talk about love
The author has something to say: Lu'er just loves to stir up trouble and ends up killing herself.
