Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1178 - The demonic tide surges, and the pursuit from the Red Sky Demon City

Although Chu Hao was subduing the Substitute Demon, he knew that Bai Bing wouldn't necessarily be so honest.

The reason he didn't eliminate Bai Bing earlier wasn't because Chu Hao was truly kind; it was because he was utterly exhausted.

While the Shadow Demon could kill Bai Bing, there was also the risk of Bai Bing sneaking over and killing Chu Hao.

Rather than risking his life to snatch someone he had already robbed twice, it was better to stay here and properly subdue the Substitute Demon.

Although it was foreseeable that Chu Hao himself would become a drained young man after subduing it, at least it would be a powerful force for him.

Chu Hao was subduing the Substitute Demon while remaining vigilant.

Strangely, he wasn't attacked by Bai Bing, which made Chu Hao a bit puzzled.

Could it be that the young man had truly become kind?

While waiting, Chu Hao had already subdued the Substitute Demon.

【Congratulations on exceeding the task requirements!】

【Reward 1: 500,000 merit points!】

【Reward 2: Heavenly Origin Magic Stone!】

【Reward 3: Three fragments of the Liyuan Stone (total of three pieces)!】

【Bonus reward for exceeding the task requirements: 300,000 merit points, full restoration of stamina!】

As a warm current flowed through his body, Chu Hao felt his entire being instantly rejuvenated.

He was back in action!

So, shouldn't he stir things up a bit?

Thinking this, Chu Hao felt a stirring in his heart.

The most lucrative place Chu Hao knew of wasn't some Demon Dragon City or a Blood Fiend Mining Area.

Of course, it was the City Lord's Mansion!

Although Chu Hao knew that the City Lord of Scarlet Heaven Demon City was incredibly powerful, he didn't have the guts to rob him directly…

So, should he try to trick him?

Or go into the city, take a look, and find an opportunity?

Just as Chu Hao was pondering, the Substitute Demon was completely subdued, and Chu Hao couldn't help but rejoice.

However, the Substitute Demon wasn't nourished by the Heavenly Origin Magic Stone, so even after being subdued, it was still sickly.

But it didn't matter, as Chu Hao didn't need it right now.

With two Rank Four Ghost Demons, Chu Hao's strength had greatly increased, even doubled!

Chu Hao, who was only at Rank Three, could already control two Rank Four Ghost Demons, making him feel incredibly comfortable.

However, there were also some drawbacks. Because Chu Hao's cultivation level was too low, the soul seeds of the two Ghost Demons were constantly restless.

Clearly, even though they were mindless, they were instinctively resisting Chu Hao's control.

Once they broke free, all of Chu Hao's efforts would be in vain… Although it seemed like Chu Hao hadn't put in much effort, and he had even let Bai Bing go.

But, in any case, Chu Hao had tried very hard.

What Chu Hao was looking forward to now was reaching Rank Four as soon as possible, which would make his trip to the abyss complete.

However, Chu Hao wasn't in a hurry. After all, he only needed 200,000 merit points to reach Rank Four Quasi-Sage, so he could really be a bit more arrogant in the wilderness.

Actually, Chu Hao had merit point divine water, but he felt that with his own efforts, he would soon have merit points in hand.

Wouldn't it be better to save the merit point divine water to make soup for his wives?

Moreover, what Chu Hao lacked now was a large number of demonic creatures to feed the Substitute Demon.

They had all been eaten by the Shadow Demon, which meant that even after implanting the soul seed, the Substitute Demon had no nourishment.

Chu Hao suddenly felt a bit regretful.

It was a pity that he should have tricked Bai Bing into staying here to become food for the Substitute Demon.

It was just that Bai Bing was too cunning. He seemed to know Chu Hao's habits.

When Chu Hao didn't try to do anything to him, Bai Bing just slipped away, without even saying goodbye. He was probably too afraid of being tricked.

However, Chu Hao did have a small intention in letting him go. What if he could bring him another surprise?

It was just that there had been no surprise so far.

In that case, did he have to hunt demonic creatures in the wilderness of the abyss now?

The danger was extraordinary.

Just as Chu Hao was pondering, he suddenly felt a tremor in the ground, and countless roars of demonic creatures rang in his ears.

Chu Hao widened his eyes and looked over, only to see countless powerful demonic creatures charging over in a group in the distance of the wilderness, stirring up dust!

Chu Hao was stunned, and a realization flashed in his mind.

“A demonic tide… Bai Bing, that young man, actually used this trick!”

After thinking for a moment, Chu Hao understood that Bai Bing must have launched a demonic tide at him as he left.

After all, Bai Bing wasn't stupid. Although he knew he couldn't beat Chu Hao, he also knew that Chu Hao would be very weak after implanting the soul seed, and this was the best chance to kill Chu Hao.

One could imagine how much Bai Bing wanted to kill Chu Hao.

However, Chu Hao was not surprised but delighted.

After all, this was a good opportunity to feed the Substitute Demon!

However, just as Chu Hao thought he had such a good opportunity, he suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon.

In the direction of Scarlet Heaven Demon City, there were also faint roars coming!

Chu Hao was stunned for a moment.

Why was even Scarlet Heaven Demon City joining in the fun?

Were they people from the Scarlet Heaven City Lord?

Or people from the three major families?

Or… had the Sun True Fire just now and the commotion of everyone fighting the Ghost Demons made them realize and want to come and pick up the scraps?

Wait, maybe Ronai had already discovered that he had escaped, so he sent people to chase him down and drain him dry?

Chu Hao suddenly felt that things were getting interesting.

Of course, Chu Hao would still be better off observing the situation first.

Fortunately, the system had just restored him, otherwise he might have been ambushed by Bai Bing's demonic tide.

Even if he wasn't ambushed by the demonic tide, he would at least be taken advantage of by the people from Scarlet Heaven Demon City.

Chu Hao quickly wanted to hide, but before leaving, Chu Hao suddenly grinned and shot a ball of Sun True Fire into the Bone Basin below.

The power wasn't enough to kill the demonic creatures inside, but it could make them escape from it.

To muddy the waters, the water must be muddy enough.

Chu Hao turned around and merged into the endless darkness again.

If possible, with this demonic tide, Chu Hao might be able to find some benefits in Scarlet Heaven Demon City.

However, this little bit of demonic tide was not enough.

Chu Hao began to search in the wilderness of the abyss again.

The people coming here definitely wouldn't have anything good on them, but if it was Scarlet Heaven Demon City, then it would be profitable.

Even if he couldn't extort the Scarlet Heaven City Lord, even any strategic reserves in the main city like Scarlet Heaven Demon City would be extremely powerful existences in the Three Realms.

Since Chu Hao had come, he would definitely seize them!

After Chu Hao left, a group of experts from Scarlet Heaven Demon City officially encountered the demonic tide.
