Chapter 1276 - 1275: Possession to Enter the City
"Excuse me, how can we get inside this city gate?"Hearing Tang Rao speak so calmly, those inside the gate might let people in, but they looked at Tang Rao and turned away, not giving him the slightest attention.
"Could you perhaps make an exception and let us in?"
Tang Rao took out ten Purple Crystals and handed them over. Such a large amount made the common folk outside the gate envious, yet those inside didn't even glance at the Purple Crystals.
One hundred Purple Crystals?
He took out more, reaching a total of one hundred, and once again presented them to the Gatekeeper.
This time, he finally got a reaction.
The Gatekeeper took the one hundred Purple Crystals and shook his head at Tang Rao, "It's not that I don't want to let you in, but to enter this gate, you need to be a High God. You, a Middle God? If I let you in, I'd be in big trouble myself."
The Gatekeepers have their own difficulties; if they could be easily swayed by small favors to do things against the higher-ups' orders, they themselves would face punishment in the end.
Tang Rao looked at the Gatekeeper's expression and knew there was no way around it.
"Tang Rao, come here."
The Supreme Power quietly called Tang Rao to the side.
"Do you trust me?"
The Supreme Power thought for a long time before making a decision and asked Tang Rao.
"Supreme Power, what is it?"
Of course, Tang Rao trusted the Supreme Power; everything he did was better than Tang Rao, and he often helped Tang Rao simply to have a place to stay, so Tang Rao actually owed him.
"I have a way to get you inside."
The Supreme Power leaned close to Tang Rao's ear and shared his idea in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"You must be kidding, will that really work?"
Tang Rao was skeptical. It wasn't that he didn't trust him, but the plan was so risky that Tang Rao wasn't sure what to decide.
"You'd better make up your mind quickly; your son is still inside. His fate is in your hands."
Right, Tang Xiaobai was still inside. If Tang Rao didn't act fast, Tang Xiaobai could be in real danger.
"I agree with you."
Tang Rao thought about it and, despite the risks, decided to trust the Supreme Power.
The Supreme Power nodded in satisfaction, glad he had not misjudged Tang Rao.
Tang Rao didn't mishear; earlier, the Supreme Power proposed to fuse with Tang Rao's body, just like the Supreme Power's current state.
The Supreme Power was actually only a soul; his original body was completely destroyed long ago. After many years, he found a young man similar in appearance, took over his body, and survived until now.
Now, the Supreme Power wanted to enter Tang Rao's body, to fuse with him. This risk, if not for Tang Xiaobai's sake, Tang Rao would never have considered taking on.
A minute later, Tang Rao realized that his body was now controlled by two people.
"Now I'm a High God, brother. Do me a favor, can you let me in now?"
Tang Rao approached the young gatekeeper, who almost thought he saw a ghost.
Someone's appearance might change, but Tang Rao's power couldn't have changed. The young gatekeeper still didn't understand how Tang Rao's power level shot up that much.
"Sure, sure."
He had taken the money and said that as long as someone was a High God, they could enter. Tang Rao met the requirement; if he didn't let him in, it would be like playing Tang Rao.
Tang Rao finally got a definite answer, and once inside, he immediately ran non-stop.
Initially planning to let the Supreme Power return to his body after entering, he reconsidered when realizing that with so many masters around, the Supreme Power being in Tang Rao's body meant their real bodies wouldn't be harmed. If any similar situation arose in the future, this cunning trick could potentially be reused.
"Supreme Power, can you determine which direction Xiaobai is now?"
Watching the Supreme Power control his body, sniffing around like a dog, Tang Rao felt humiliated like never before in his life.
Even worse, after smelling for so long, they gained nothing.
"I also don't know which direction he is. From the moment we entered the gate, Xiaobai vanished."
As soon as the Supreme Power finished speaking, Tang Rao felt utterly defeated.
He was worried that Xiaobai might fall into the hands of the Black Demon, who could kill Li Qi Qi without blinking an eye. If he had any thoughts about Tang Xiaobai, Xiaobai might not survive it.
"My poor son, if the Black Demon really took your life, I swear I'll flay his skin white!"
Out of anger, Tang Rao punched the ground, but nothing happened, not even a dent, showing his reluctance to hurt his hand.
"Tang Rao, have you lost your mind? The Black Demon wouldn't dare come into this place. Are you thinking the Black Demon took Xiaobai away?"
The Supreme Power oddly felt some sympathy for the Black Demon; it seemed he'd been wrongly accused by Tang Rao for no reason.
"What do you mean?"
Tang Rao didn't quite understand the Supreme Power's point.
"Do you think just anyone can come in here? Besides power restrictions, the gate also limits one's mental method for cultivation."
The mental method of the Demon Realm is vastly different from a regular one, which Tang Rao knew. The only thing he hadn't known was that the place was filled with non-Demon Realm experts.
With this explanation, Tang Rao's heart settled back into his chest.
"Since you say only good people are inside, then tell me, how can I find Tang Xiaobai?"
The Supreme Power was at a loss; he knew only so much. Previously, he hadn't bothered to come in, and now having finally entered, he knew nothing about it.
"How am I supposed to know how to find Tang Xiaobai? All the leads are cut off. Unless you shout around, but if it causes trouble, you'll be responsible."
What the Supreme Power said was essentially useless.
"Tang Rao, are you stupid or something? Who's the best at finding things and people, have you forgotten?"
At a critical moment, Jixing reminded Tang Rao.
Right, how could Tang Rao forget such an important detail?
"Little Hedgehog, come out."
Tang Rao brought out Little Hedgehog, who seemed a bit confused.
"Tang Rao, did I do something wrong?"
Otherwise, why did Tang Rao's face look so unsightly?
"Tang Xiaobai has disappeared. This is his sock. Smell it and help me find him."
Little Hedgehog glanced at the sky-blue sock, sniffed it closely, and obediently started searching.
Inside the gate, Tang Xiaobai's scent was indeed present. Little Hedgehog had confirmed this right from the start, but unfortunately, the distance was so great that finding him all at once was challenging.
"Still haven't found him?"
Tang Rao was anxious, while Little Hedgehog tentatively and slowly wandered the ground.
