Bai Sha immediately tapped on Yu Ye’s name.
“What do you intend to do with my daughter? Have I inadvertently offended you, Miss?”
Seeing the message Yu Ye sent, Bai Sha was speechless for a moment.
At this time, Yu Manman had undoubtedly fallen into the hands of the Wind-Thunder Observatory cultivators, and Yu Ye had clearly noticed that his daughter had met with an accident, though he didn’t know the specifics.
Under such circumstances, her sending a message claiming she knew his daughter’s whereabouts would inevitably lead the other party to believe she had done something.
After reasoning this out, Bai Sha immediately began typing with her mind.
The script in this world was not complicated; Bai Sha had quickly mastered it after gaining sentience.
“Please don’t misunderstand, Sir. I haven’t done anything to your daughter. I merely saw from a distance that she met with some mishap. The reason I recognized her as your daughter is because I once saw you, father and daughter, here at the Seven-Colored Shell. Compared to other Demon Cultivators, a father-daughter pair traveling together is far more conspicuous. Even a chance encounter leaves a deep impression.”
Bai Sha typed out a large block of text and sent it.
Shortly after the message was sent, Yu Ye replied: “My apologies, I misunderstood you, Miss. Could Miss Bai Sha please tell me my daughter’s whereabouts? I will definitely repay you handsomely.”
“Of course, I can do that.” Bai Sha easily sent the message: “I saw Yu Manman at the Coral Abyss. She was captured by Human Cultivators, ones from the Wind-Thunder Observatory.”
“Human Cultivators!”
This answer made Yu Ye’s heart tremble violently.
The purpose of human cultivators capturing Demon Cultivators was obvious. No Demon Cultivator could remain calm upon learning that their daughter had been taken by humans.
Worried that Yu Ye might act immediately upon receiving the news, Bai Sha quickly sent another message: “Sir, don’t rush to the Coral Abyss. Those Wind-Thunder Observatory cultivators will likely stay there for several more days to capture more Demon Cultivators. Before that, Yu Manman shouldn’t be in any danger. Moreover, I once witnessed those Wind-Thunder Observatory cultivators fight. They are no pushovers.”
Yu Ye immediately inquired: “Miss Bai Sha, do you know the methods of those human cultivators?”
“I know a little.” Bai Sha didn’t hide anything and stated directly: “Those Wind-Thunder Observatory cultivators are led by a Foundation Establishment (Early) cultivator, and the rest are at Late Qi Condensation.”
“If that’s all, I can handle it,” Yu Ye affirmed confidently.
“But there’s more than that.” Bai Sha continued sending information: “As far as I know, that Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Wind-Thunder Observatory also holds an Ancient Forbidden Artifact in his possession.”
“…Ancient Forbidden Artifact.”
That term immediately silenced Yu Ye.
As a Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator, Yu Ye naturally knew what an Ancient Forbidden Artifact represented. It was absolutely incomparable to the magical tools of today.
Right now, Yu Ye was at the Seven-Colored Shell.
There were many Demon Cultivators at the Seven-Colored Shell. Yu Ye, being a Purple Horn Electric Eel, was nestled in a corner. His body was much larger than Yu Manman’s, black and long, and the purple horn on his forehead seemed to possess a rich luster.
Looking at the Dream Ruins Panel before him, Yu Ye pondered how to converse with Bai Sha.
It was clear Bai Sha knew a lot of information, but there was no reason for her to tell him everything he wanted to know, was there? To get more information from her, would he need to pay a certain price?
Just as Yu Ye was contemplating this, another message from Bai Sha arrived.
“I don’t know much about the situation of that Ancient Forbidden Artifact, but it should be at the Foundation Establishment level. Its external form is a lump of Black Mud. When the holder calls out the opponent’s name and receives a response, it will transform into the opponent’s likeness. After that, whatever is done to the black mud will produce the same change on the opponent’s body. If it’s crushed, the opponent will naturally die on the spot. So, when facing this Ancient Forbidden Artifact, simply don’t respond to any call.”
During her last life, when Ding Lei and Jian Yun were fighting, Bai Sha had been closely observing their battle, so she had these details engraved deeply in her memory.
Seeing the message Bai Sha sent, Yu Ye was very surprised.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Bai Sha, but he and Bai Sha hadn’t known each other before. Why would she successively reveal so much critical information to him?
Thinking this, the straightforward Yu Ye asked directly: “Miss Bai Sha, why are you telling me so much information?”
“I still have something I desire,” Bai Sha responded.
Having an ulterior motive was right; that was the normal situation.
A complete stranger who confides in you and holds nothing back is what would be truly suspicious.
Not long after Yu Ye sent his message, Bai Sha’s response came.
“What I desire is that Ancient Forbidden Artifact. If you, Sir, can obtain this Ancient Forbidden Artifact, would you be willing to transfer it to me?”
“So that’s it. If everything Miss Bai Sha says is true, handing over the Ancient Forbidden Artifact is naturally acceptable.” Yu Ye agreed very decisively.
An Ancient Forbidden Artifact, while precious, wasn’t something that commanded an exorbitant price without a market.
Moreover, this Ancient Forbidden Artifact was only at the Foundation Establishment level, the lowest tier of such artifacts. Unlike magical tools, which exist at the Qi Condensation level, an Ancient Forbidden Artifact of the Qi Condensation level had never appeared.
“I’ve said everything I needed to say. I will await your good news, Sir.”
From another location at the Seven-Colored Shell, Bai Sha sent the message.
She wasn’t worried that Yu Ye would refuse to hand over the Ancient Forbidden Artifact after obtaining it, because she had thoroughly understood Yu Ye’s character from Yu Manman in her previous life.
Of course, if an accident did occur and Yu Ye tried to renege on the deal, Bai Sha wouldn’t be overly worried. Any lost ground, she could recover in her next life.
Take the Wind-Thunder Observatory cultivators, for example.
In her last life, she was helpless against them, but in this life, she successfully sent Yu Ye to make trouble for them.
As a Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator, it was perfectly reasonable for Yu Ye to have several friends also at the Foundation Establishment level, right?
And she had already explained how to deal with the Ancient Forbidden Artifact. There was no reason for Yu Ye and his Demon Cultivator group to fall for the same trick again, right?
The Wind-Thunder Observatory cultivators had entered their final countdown.
However, besides the Wind-Thunder Observatory cultivators, the Bloodthirsty Swordfish Clan was also something that concerned Bai Sha deeply.
Now, whenever she tried to cultivate using the Raging Waves Art, she would be discovered by the Bloodthirsty Swordfish Clan. This prevented her from just cultivating casually; she had to ensure absolute safety first. This was undoubtedly a huge problem.
How should she deal with this?
As Bai Sha was pondering this, a notification popped up on her Dream Ruins Panel. Yin Sha had sent her a message.
‘Why is she looking for me?’
Curious, Bai Sha tapped on the message to read it.
