OMG! I Transmigrated into Four Books at the Same Time!-Chapter 458 - 434: Infiltrating the Demon Domain

Qian Ji nodded: "The sooner the better. Since you've taken the Space Tower, those three must be extremely anxious. Whatever their original plan was, this time they probably have to speed up. If they manage to reach the Divine Realm before us and take over the Heavenly Dao there, then the Three Realms will truly be plunged into a living hell."

Shi Nian blinked: "I didn't expect that, you actually care about the common folk."

Qian Ji gave a bitter smile: "I feel like, perhaps, you have some misunderstandings about me. That fragment, it was originally a part of me that I split off to experience the world. After its purpose was achieved, it's only natural for me to take it back. I can understand your emotional attachment to that piece, but it is indeed a part of me, and I have done nothing wrong in reclaiming it. This does not prove that I am some sort of evil and dreadful person. On the contrary, over these years, I have been actively trying to prevent the actions of those three, and if I don't own up to the words 'caring for the common folk,' then I'm afraid, in this world, there would be very few who would dare to."

Qian Ji spoke earnestly, causing Shi Nian to be stunned for a moment before replying: "I apologize for my tone."

It's one thing for her to be wary of Qian Ji and another to acknowledge the things he has indeed done. They should be judged separately.

However. No matter what Qian Ji said, Shi Nian inherently couldn't shake off a sense of vigilance towards him.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. It seems like Qian Ji is quite unlucky." Xiao Tong wore a face as if watching a drama: "Back then, Lu Zhuoyan was so reserved, yet you always trusted him to the end. Qian Ji is essentially the same person, yet you are highly guarded against him. Interesting, very interesting."

Shi Nian snorted coldly, unable to help but retort to Xiao Tong: "My Little Master Uncle is doing just fine, not what you called 'reserved.'"

Xiao Tong chuckled without saying more.

It's not that she's gossiping.

With her many years of experience reading novels, the relationship between Qian Ji and the Host might very well be complicated. Tsk, tsk, tsk, she's curious to see how this will unfold.

"Whether you trust me or not, our goals are the same right now, which is to stop those three." Qian Ji spoke in a moderate tone: "The Space Tower has the effect of traversing space. Using it, we should be able to quickly reach the Demon Clan's territory."

Shi Nian nodded, a small tower appeared in her hand, which was crystal clear and slowly rotating in the palm of her hand.

"I can only open the first layer of the Space Tower's seals right now." Shi Nian said: "With my immortal power, I can't support too many spatial crossings. Do you have a Star Chart that leads to the Demon Clan's territory? I need coordinates for positioning."

"I do." Qian Ji nodded, briskly taking out a piece of paper.

Shi Nian immersed her spiritual power into it, and the paper instantly expanded countless times. It was filled with twinkling starlight, not just the Demon Clan's territory, but, astonishingly, the map was of the entire Immortal World.

So vast it seemed to have no end in sight.

Shi Nian was gobsmacked.

A map of the entire Immortal World?

This thing must be incredibly precious.

And Qian Ji just nonchalantly showed it to her?

Could there be some kind of trap?

While Shi Nian pondered, she memorized the coordinates of the Demon Domain and also instructed Xiao Tong to copy the map.

Xiao Tong also had her own map which she had explored, but because she hadn't visited many areas of the Immortal World, her map was quite incomplete. Compared to Qian Ji's, it was practically worthless.

As if Xiao Tong heard Shi Nian's silent criticism, she became displeased: "That complete map of his must have taken who knows how long, possibly thousands of years. If you had given me ten thousand years, Host, you would have already dominated the Divine Realm."

"Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Tong is the greatest." Shi Nian flattered her with a few careless compliments, then locked onto the coordinates of the Demon World and activated the Space Tower.

As of now, only the first layer of the Space Tower's seals had been unlocked, and a single spatial traversal to the Demon Domain was surely insufficient.

After considering the maximum distance she could reach each time, Shi Nian estimated that it would take around twenty or so trips.

Her immortal power would only support five spatial traversals. However, she had Elixirs, which could be used for a swift recovery of immortal power.

Even so, it would take at least three days to reach the Demon Domain.

This speed was already quite fast.

If it weren't for the Space Tower, considering the vastness of the Immortal World, the journey alone could take a year or two.

"Alright, I've locked onto the coordinates." Shi Nian held the Space Tower, which radiated a soft glow.

Qian Ji stepped into the glow.

Shi Nian activated the Space Tower, and in the next instant, the two disappeared from their original spot.

After two spatial traversals, Shi Nian's immortal power had decreased slightly, so she stopped in a desolate area to rest.

Qian Ji looked at her with a puzzled expression: "What's the matter?"

Shi Nian awkwardly smiled: "My immortal power is running low, I need to replenish it first."

She took out an elixir and started to recover, sitting cross-legged.

Without hiding her intentions, she set up multiple barriers around herself, and one of her hands even tightly gripped the Space Tower.

Qian Ji: "????"

This was to guard against him.

He had tried to persuade her earnestly and delicately, so why was Shi Nian still being this cautious?

Qian Ji found it somewhat incredible.

He couldn't understand now how exactly that fragment had gained Shi Nian's trust.

Beyond his astonishment, watching Shi Nian devotedly absorbing spiritual power, Qian Ji couldn't help but let out a wry laugh.

Forget it, let her do as she pleases.

It was in her nature to be like this, and it wasn't as if he didn't know it; why bother himself now?

If she was like this with everyone, then so be it.

But why…

Why did she treat him, a mere fragment, with such a different regard?

The light in Qian Ji's eyes became somewhat deep and profound.

It wasn't until Shi Nian had fully recovered her strength that she used the Space Tower again.

Her principle is:

Always keep oneself in a winning position, so that if someone should plot against her, she could react immediately.

Otherwise,

If she depleted her spiritual power using the Space Tower, and Qian Ji remained at his peak, that would indeed frighten her.

Shi Nian remained cautious all the way, and four days later, the two arrived in the Demon Domain.

Shi Nian took a glance at Qian Ji: "I'm not afraid of the erosion of Demonic Qi. What about you, do you need me to give you a Demon Transformation Pill?"

Qian Ji smiled: "No need, I have my own methods."

Shi Nian then no longer concerned herself with him.

The two altered their appearances and auras, and descended into the Demon World.

The Demon World today is in complete chaos.

"Gather, gather, all the members of the Demon Clan gather! The Primogenitor has ordered a full-scale war against the Immortal World!"

"Grab your weapons and assemble at the square! To the battlefield!"

When it came to war, the Demon Clan showed no fear at all; every face was painted with an excited smile.

"Full-scale war! Full-scale war!" The shouting was earth-shattering.

Shi Nian and Qian Ji exchanged glances.

Without changing his expression, Qian Ji said: "This city is too small; it doesn't have a Demon Emperor Peak. Let's not worry about the other members of the Demon Clan for now."

Shi Nian looked at him somewhat surprised, as this was the same information that had just been given by Xiao Tong.

Qian Ji's ability to gather intelligence seemed to be on par with Xiao Tong now.

Qian Ji smiled and calmly pointed in one direction: "Over there, there's a Demon Emperor Peak."

Shi Nian nodded, but also curiously asked: "Did you sense that?"

Qian Ji pointed to his head: "I don't have such a strong sensing ability. It's just that… I can calculate."
