Chapter 445: Chapter 411 The Demon Lord with an Overabundance of Maternal Love

Ugh...

How do we handle this now?

Gangdian just shook his head, indicating that he only specialized in soul summoning and had never learned the Soul Exorcism Technique.

Expert in soul summoning?

Jiang Xiao burst out cursing, "What the hell do you mean ’expert in soul summoning’?"

Now we’re screwed, the lead is completely gone. If I had known earlier, I should’ve taken the soul to a temple in Hangzhou for processing.

"Eh? It’s not entirely hopeless. Speaking of which, Little Jade girl, you’re from the Hengduan Mountain range, how come you ended up in Hangzhou City?"

Little Jade didn’t answer, but her expression was clearly questioning Chang An: ’You’re asking me, who should I ask?’

"Let’s change the question. How did you die?"

"I slept, then felt my body floating, light as a feather. I wanted to move but couldn’t; it was very strange. I could assure you that I was asleep at the time, yet I was vividly aware of everything happening. Vaguely, it seemed like someone was pulling me flying... and then after that, I saw you all."

emm...

"I get it, a ghost was pressing on your bed, and then you died in a dream!"

Gangdian confidently proclaimed his verdict!

*smack!*

Jiang Xiao, without a hint of courtesy, gifted Gangdian a resounding smack on the head.

Great thanks indeed!

He knew it, something had been off from the start; he never should’ve trusted Gangdian, a piece of trash who’s all talk and no action.

He had already been doubting Gangdian’s competence, but when Gangdian assuredly blabbered that nonsense about Little Jade dying from a ghost pressing on her in a dream.

That was when he couldn’t hold it in any longer.

"Died in what kind of dream of your mom’s? Talk less if you’re uneducated! You’re only causing more trouble! This isn’t about dying in a dream, it’s clear that her soul was taken away!"

Her soul was taken away?

Gangdian’s face flushed with embarrassment, not expecting his bluffs to be caught in the act. He immediately deferred the issue to Chang An, embarrassed.

"My apprentice might not have great skills, but he’s very rich in theoretical knowledge," Chang An said thoughtfully.

"If I remember correctly, Little Jade girl might have been taken by a Soul-hooker of the Mountain and Sea Demon Tribe. This demon tribe is known for their gentle approach, famously killing without pain and hooking souls without a trace."

Mountain and Sea Demon Tribe?

Gangdian’s expression turned serious; they were infamous.

Not only did the current Taoist community target them, but even the Jesus sect he once followed had launched expeditions against them.

Yet they were never able to cut them off at the root.

"It reminds me, my mentor Yan Chixia also had ongoing conflicts with the Black Mountain Demon from the Mountain and Sea Demon Tribe; he never managed to kill him."

This situation was tricky.

Jiang Xiao frowned.

Gangdian’s strength was not weak; he had been able to match Jiang Xiao equally in the past.

For someone like Gangdian to willingly become a disciple, Yan Chixia’s strength must starkly surpass his, and yet, Yan still couldn’t deal with the demon creatures from the Mountain and Sea Demon Tribe.

The Hengduan Mountain range wasn’t close to Hangzhou City, and yet the Mountain and Sea Demon Tribe transported Little Jade’s soul all the way here.

To say that there weren’t any heinous deeds involved in this, no one would believe it.

Was there an inevitable connection with Dalian?

"Brother Jiang Xiao, since the opponent’s methods are so devious, do we have a way to counteract them?"

Jiang Xiao looked at Steel Egg oddly, not knowing where he got the nerve to say such things.

"You’re the one from the Taoist sect, aren’t you? The sect that takes it upon itself to subdue demons and eradicate evil, shouldn’t you know more about these specialized skills to restrain demon clans than I do?"

"Well, as you know, I’ve never been much for studying since I was a kid..."

Steel Egg was somewhat embarrassed, but also very excited.

He expressed how he, a foreigner, had always faced discrimination and if he didn’t achieve something soon, he’d be too ashamed to return to his sect.

This Mountain and Sea demonic tribe was his best chance to outdo his fellow disciples!

Not to talk about eradicating them, just finding some clues or figuring out their plans would be great. Who would dare to boss him around after he returned to the Taoist sect?

Jiang Xiao nodded in agreement; indeed, the brand new "Bible" had explained everything.

"Jiang Xiao, brother, we’re old acquaintances now. Remember when you beat the piss out of me? Now..."

"Alright, alright, shut up," Jiang Xiao interrupted Steel Egg. "I’m definitely not going to help you catch a demon!"

Dalian was a problem he hadn’t solved yet, so where would he find the mind to fight a boss?

Moreover, he was with Bai Yi this time; Jiang Xiao wouldn’t risk putting himself in danger.

However, Bai Yi did not share this sentiment.

She became intensely curious about this so-called Mountain and Sea demonic tribe.

"Daddy, this Mountain and Sea demonic tribe sounds really impressive. There must be lots of treasures inside, maybe we can..."

At that moment, Chang An raised his hand to interrupt.

"Well, although there’s no explicit record of a technique to counter the Soul-hooking Technique of the Mountain and Sea demonic tribe, I’ve heard from ’Demon Sect’s History’ that the Mountain and Sea Demon Lord is a woman who turned to the path of demons because her child was mistakenly killed by righteous people in his sleep."

Everyone was interested; who doesn’t like to hear a good story?

It was said that all the techniques of the Mountain and Sea demonic tribe were created by the Demon Lord inspired by her deceased son.

"And this Soul-hooking Technique... ’Demon Sect’s History’ records that it was adapted from the lullaby she used to sing to soothe her child to sleep. Additionally, this Demon Lord might have an extreme motherly love complex, meaning she could be an incredibly perverted pedophile."

"To break the Soul-hooking Technique, you just have to curse out loud about your mother when you feel your body becoming light; that might just break this evil technique."

No, that’s... I mean... actually...

Everyone present, including one ghost, was utterly gobsmacked.

Dude, your ’Demon Sect’s History’ is way too wild!

It’s not that Steel Egg was being modest—though as a cultured gentleman, he’d read illicit books like the ’Flower Appreciation Treasure’ and ’National Color Body Fragrance’ by lamplight.

But compared to the ’Demon Sect’s History’ that Chang An read, what he read was even blander than cucumbers mixed with tofu!

The saying goes, official histories may not always be credible, but wild histories are always wild.

Even Xiao Yu, in her soul state, couldn’t help but blush.

All this talk of overflowing motherly love and pedophilia... ick!

What Chang An described was something already rejected by conventional social morals, plus the involvement of the infamous Mountain and Sea Demon Lord.

The sharp contrast brought a level of thrill to the matter that it might not otherwise deserve.

In comparison, the method of "cursing one’s mother" to break the "Mountain and Sea Soul Hooking Technique" suddenly seemed not so outrageous.

As for Bai Yi...

She loved to listen to stories, just like children love to watch TV. She might not understand it all, but that didn’t stop her from listening with rapt attention.

Eng Zi was just as confused as Bai Yi, but that didn’t matter much; she was happy to be just a spectator.

"Daddy, what’s ’candy-making pedophilia’? It sounds like some kind of sweet candy. Are you saying this demon clan likes candy? Do you have any candy for pedophilia? Can you make one for me to try?"

She was a naïve girl. Chang An and Xiao Yu were originally going to say that her childlike innocence was very endearing.

But, noticing something, both of them suddenly froze in place and looked at Jiang Xiao with horror-stricken eyes.
