Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 460 - 233 Lion Camel Ridge

"No!" Dapeng halted, suddenly shouting.

"Why isn’t there any suppression by the Human Path outside!" Thinking about how he just rushed out, it seemed like there wasn’t the slightest force of the Human Path suppressing him. This indicated that Lu Yu hadn’t used the Human Path’s suppression at all.

With the stance that he must kill the three of them, why wouldn’t he stop them, unless he no longer had enough power to activate the Human Path’s suppression at that moment.

"Damn, we’ve been deceived!" Dapeng roared.

Green Lion and Bai Xiang also realized at once that they had been bluffed by Lu Yu’s unbeatable aura, such that they hadn’t tested the waters before fleeing.

"What do we do now?" Green Lion asked, at a loss at this moment.

"Go back!" Dapeng said sternly, not wanting to give up such a good opportunity, as an opponent like Lu Yu necessitated seizing every chance.

Within a few breaths’ time, Dapeng was back on the battlefield.

Now, the battlefield was in complete disarray, the once vibrant earth had been overturned, exposing the rocks below, the chilling Sword Qi still lingering in the area, giving the three demons a bone-piercing chill.

However, the battlefield was eerily deserted, not a single shadow to be seen, only the breeze blowing across the ground, whirling up a swirl of dust!

"Damn it! He got away." Green Lion struck the ground in anger, causing a thunderous noise and raising quite a bit of dust, which spoke volumes of the fury in his heart.

"Immediately send orders for the minions to search far and wide; he’s at the end of his rope and probably can’t get out of Lion Camel Ridge’s range." Bai Xiang said in a deep voice, his mind clearer than ever at this moment, trying hard to infer which direction Lu Yu could have fled.

Having an enemy like Lu Yu alive made them terrified even in their sleep.

Thus, the entire Lion Camel Ridge and Lion Camel City were in an uproar, the three Great Kings offering a reward for the human Lu Yu, promising heavenly treasures and Pills, Cultivation Techniques—anything in exchange for information.

Countless Little Demons abandoned their tasks, setting aside their usual laziness, and joined the search with a terrifying zeal.

The once quiet forests started buzzing with activity, innumerable Little Demons mingling among them, snooping around for the whereabouts of the human Scholar, but no matter how hard the demons tried, they still couldn’t find the slightest trace of Lu Yu, as if he vanished into thin air.

One fine day, the weather was clear, and two Little Demons were leisurely strolling along a small trail on Lion Camel Ridge, the lush trees on both sides casting dappled shadows over the path.

"Sigh! Where on earth could Lu Yu be hiding? We’ve almost turned Lion Camel Ridge upside-down and still no sign of him. Could he have already escaped?" one of the Little Demons said.

"Take it easy, with thousands of hills and gullies in Lion Camel Ridge, if Lu Yu just finds a corner to hide in, it’s not something that can be easily found," advised the other Little Demon.

"But at this rate, when will it end? I haven’t had a good rest for many days. I think Lu Yu has probably escaped Lion Camel Ridge by now; all this searching is just wasted effort."

"Shh! Keep it down. If the three Great Kings hear this, we’re dead. The last one who said this got torn to pieces by the Great Great King!"

Images of yesterday’s scene in the cavern flashed through the minds of the two Little Demons, that demon was very memorable to them, one of the best among the Little Demons. They had never imagined that just because of a few complaining words, he was ruthlessly torn to pieces by Green Lion. The memory of that horrifying, bloody scene still made them shudder.

"Let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s focus on patrolling the mountain. If we can really find Lu Yu’s trail, we’ll be set!"

Just then, one of them, who was still chatting away, suddenly realized that the Little Demon beside him had frozen in place, his face showing an incredulous expression.

"What’s wrong with you?" he asked, puzzled.

Following the other’s gaze, he saw a scholar in a green robe standing in the nearby woods, exuding an indescribable sense of freedom and ease, even if his face was still somewhat pale.

"Lu Yu..." the two little demons stuttered.

At this moment, their hearts were filled with immense excitement, for they could never have imagined such a great opportunity falling into their hands. Countless scenarios flashed through their minds as they considered the benefits this achievement could bring them.

The two exchanged a glance and then turned to head back to their cave dwelling to report to the three Great Kings.

However, when they saw Lu Yu’s face, with a hint of a smile on his handsome features, a foreboding feeling crept into their hearts. They suddenly realized that this was the man whom even the three Great Kings could not capture.

With this thought, they opened their throats to shout loudly, no longer hoping to keep all the credit for themselves—after all, their lives were most important.

Just as they were about to call out for support, a clear "Freeze" rang by their ears.

The action of shouting was halted in place; even as they continued to stimulate the demon aura within their bodies, they remained immobile.

The two little demons watched in terror as Lu Yu approached them gradually, unable to resist in the slightest.

In front of Lu Yu, they were like two pitiful ants. Despite their desperate struggle to survive, they couldn’t stop Lu Yu’s advance.

"Tea Saint, what is this?" a puzzled voice came.

An old man with white hair and beard, holding a wooden staff, slowly emerged from the depths of the dense forest.

The two little demons’ eyes widened in recognition. The elderly figure before them was the Earth God of Lion Camel Ridge, someone they had always bullied and dared not defy—an old Earth God as timid as a mouse.

At this moment, they finally understood why so many demons had been searching the mountains day and night without any trace of Lu Yu. With the Earth God’s help, Lu Yu was naturally well concealed and undiscovered.

"Freezing Spell," said Lu Yu softly.

"So this is the legendary Freezing Spell. The rumors say that the Great Sage Equalling Heaven immobilized the Seven Fairies with this spell. Truly impressive," praised the old Earth God with a smile.

"You flatter me, Earth God," said Lu Yu modestly.

"Tea Saint, what should we do next?" asked the Earth God, his face grave.

He had taken a huge risk to rescue the barely alive Lu Yu, preventing the three Demon Lords from finding him.

However, as the search intensified, the old Earth God began to grow anxious. If it were discovered that Lu Yu was hidden in his abode, he feared his only choice would be to face utter destruction.

Lu Yu smiled, walked up to the two little demons frozen in place, looked them up and down, and then, with a shake of his body, he transformed to look exactly like one of the little demons.

"When it comes to the art of transformation, I may not be as adept as the Monkey, but I am not far behind."
