Hell, run away, the little milk baby is coming to the underworld again.

Chapter 1606 Snatching the Master

This is her own business; how could Xiao Yanbao let Huo Lichuan take such a risk?

So Xiao Yanbao immediately rejected the idea, saying, "No way."

"Then you can't just go looking for the Great Protector so recklessly." Huo Lichuan pulled Xiao Yanbao back, not letting her go out.

“Yes, this matter needs careful consideration. Stealing from the Great Protector is not an easy task,” several criminals added.

Xiao Yanbao is too anxious.

She had absolutely no chance of stealing anything from the Great Protector.

Xiao Yanbao looked at the few criminals. These criminals hadn't been saved for nothing; if it weren't for them, she might not have understood what was going on with her master.

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Your master's condition shouldn't be that serious; perhaps only a few strands of his soul have been extracted yet."

"So you mean there might still be hope for my master?"

"We're not entirely sure either; we'll only be certain once we find the demonic flower nurtured with your master's soul threads."

This brings us back to the question we just discussed.

No one had a good solution at the moment.

The Heart of the Spirit Realm channeled spiritual energy into Ling Fengzi for quite some time, but it had no effect whatsoever.

This was the first time the Spirit Realm Heart had encountered such a situation.

There really are illnesses that she can't cure.

It was quite a blow.

He looked a little dejected.

Having failed to help its owner, it felt utterly useless.

Will her master still treat her so well in the future?

Will her owner still give her chicken legs when it's time to eat them in the future?

The thought that she might not be able to eat chicken legs anymore made Lingjie's little face twitch even more.

But nobody paid attention to her.

Huo Lichuan walked up to Ling Fengzi, squatted down, and grasped Ling Fengzi's wrist.

The criminals exchanged glances. "If the Palace Master were here, perhaps your master could still be saved. Unfortunately, the Palace Master is no longer here."

When Xiao Yanbao heard that her master could still be saved, her eyes lit up again.

"Can the Palace Master really save my master?"

Several criminals nodded firmly, "Yes, only the Palace Master can save your master. Alas! It's a pity the Palace Master is no longer here."

"Can the Palace Master's descendants be saved?" Huo Lichuan asked.

The criminals exchanged glances.

Here it comes, here it comes, he's going to talk about it himself.

They were nervous inside, but dared not show it on their faces.

"The Palace Master is no longer here, and we've never heard of him having any descendants. Isn't it pointless to say this?"

Di Mo tugged at Huo Lichuan.

Huo Lichuan was about to say that he was a descendant of the Palace Master of Demon Cloud Palace, but he was pulled by Di Mo and looked at Di Mo.

"What are you pulling me for?"

Regardless of Huo Lichuan's wishes, Di Mo forcibly pulled Huo Lichuan aside and whispered, "You don't know the situation of these criminals. You can't reveal your true identity. What if they are the Great Protector's spies?"

Huo Lichuan: He really hadn't thought that way.

The Demon Flute had already realized that these criminals suspected Huo Lichuan's identity.

However, before we understand their true purpose, we cannot reveal Huo Lichuan's identity.

Although he no longer belongs to the Demon Realm, Huo Lichuan is still the young master of the Demon Realm.

The Grand Protector's intentions are now crystal clear. If the Grand Protector were to find out that Huo Lichuan is the young master of the Demon Cloud Palace, he would definitely try every means to kill Huo Lichuan.

Xiao Yanbao's mind was focused on her master, so she didn't pay much attention to the criminals.

After the flute demon pulled Huo Lichuan away, Xiao Yanbao realized that she still didn't know the origins of these criminals.

Whether their words can be trusted remains to be seen.

As for worrying, Xiao Yanbao wasn't too concerned. No matter what their intentions were, as long as they weren't let out of the Ruyi Bag, they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

"Why were you all imprisoned in the Nine Locks Hall? What serious crimes did you commit?"

"Sigh! It's a long story. It's because we disagreed with the Grand Protector taking the position of Palace Master that the Grand Protector locked us up in order to force us to actively support her?"

"Did she also use the Soul-Extracting Silk torture on you?"

"No, she's just hoping we'll support her. She only dares to lock us up, not torture us."

"It seems that you guys hold a rather unusual position in the Demon Cloud Palace."

“We are the Palace Master’s faction. Even if the Palace Master is not here and there is no seal, we will not agree to the Grand Protector taking the Palace Master’s position.”

Xiao Yanbao glanced at Huo Lichuan.

These criminals are your mother's supporters; they're one of our own.

After being reminded by the Demonic Flute, Huo Lichuan also became more vigilant towards the several criminals.

"So, you're on the Palace Master's side. You must know more about the Palace Master than others. Tell me about the Palace Master."

Xiao Yanbao isn't in a hurry anymore.

Let's hear what they have to say first.

"Young man, you look a lot like the Palace Master. Could it be that you have some kind of relationship with the Palace Master?"

"I am human, not a demon. What relationship could I possibly have with your palace master? You don't suspect that I am your palace master's son who was left in the mortal world, do you?"

Several criminals: That's what they think.

From the first moment I saw this kid, I felt that he had the aura of a palace master.

But they genuinely didn't sense any demonic energy emanating from this kid.

If he is the palace master's child, how could he not have demonic nature?

"If you have no relation to the Palace Master, how could your blood have opened that cell inside? And how could it have opened the passage out of Demon Cloud Palace?"

Huo Lichuan's eyes flickered, but he didn't dare to meet the eyes of those criminals.

“Every chick has its own way of doing things, whether it’s peeing or not. It’s none of your business how it was opened. Don’t forget we rescued you. Is it wrong of us to rescue you? Who gave you the right to question us?” Di Mo retorted.

Since learning Huo Lichuan's identity, Di Mo's attitude towards Huo Lichuan has changed.

Several criminals: Didn't they want to know if this kid in front of them was a descendant of the Palace Master?

If they are descendants of the palace master, wouldn't they have a pillar of support?

Then they can support the palace master's descendants.

Their opposition to the Grand Protector is now perfectly legitimate.

But since they wouldn't tell, they didn't dare to press further, fearing they'd be thrown out.

Although they did not know where they were, they were certain that it was a place even the Great Protector could not find.

However, the one in front of me is a demon, and it looks somewhat familiar, but I just can't remember it. Maybe it's because it was locked up in the Nine Locks Palace for too long.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry. We're all family. We were just asking out of curiosity. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. We won't ask anymore. From now on, we'll follow you."

The flute demon jumped up immediately, "Who says I'm family with you? I have a master, and you can't try to take my master away from me."
