Dao of the Bizarre Immortal

Chapter 904 - You Capital

He had miscalculated. The bandits weren’t a match for this thing! They couldn’t even harm a single strand of her hair. This girl was something otherworldly!

After venting her frustrations, Li Sui turned around and rummaged through the bandits’ belongings, collecting any valuables she could find.

“Deity! Let us help you! We’ll help!” Chen Bin had now fully surrendered to her power. He had no will left to resist and had completely submitted.

“Thank you.”

“Our pleasure!” Chen Bin nervously waved his hands, hoping he and his disciples could be useful enough to avoid being eaten.

“Master, maybe this girl isn’t some evil spirit. Why would a demon even need silvers?”

Everyone instinctively turned their eyes toward Li Sui. Just then, Li Sui lifted her skirt, and a few black, fur-covered tentacles slipped out.

The sight caused everyone’s faces to pale, and they hurriedly began rummaging through the corpses, desperately searching for money. They were too terrified to think any further.

After a while, Chen Bin nervously held some silver and bronze coins in his trembling hands. He presented them to Li Sui, forcing a fawning smile onto his wrinkled face. “Deity, this is all we found. We wouldn’t dare keep a single penny for ourselves. These bandits are here to rob people, so they wouldn’t carry too much silver with them.”

Li Sui pushed the silver back into Chen Bin’s arms and furrowed her brows with determination. “Take me to the You Capital! I need to go there!”

Chen Bin did not dare to refuse and nodded repeatedly. “Of course! To the You Capital! We’ll go to the You Capital right away!”

At Li Sui’s command, everyone hurried to pack up and set off.

They rushed day and night, reducing a ten-day journey to just seven. Their sole purpose was to escape this deity as soon as possible.

“Deity, look! We’ve arrived,” Chen Bin stammered, his lips pale as he pointed at the bustling city gate with trembling fingers.

LI Sui saw the familiar gates, and her spirits finally lifted. “Wonderful! I can finally see my father!”

After enduring so many grievances throughout this journey, she was determined to pour her heart out the moment she laid eyes on her parents.

“Oh, right! I need to find the Emperor of Great Qi! My father still needs Dragon Qi!” Li Sui shouted before dashing toward the city.

The You Capital was vast and bustling, with shops selling various goods lining both sides of the streets. Li Sui ignored these distractions and headed straight for the imperial city at the center.

Before Li Sui could even approach, a group of people blocked her path. Their clothing differed, but they all wore the badge from the Surveillance Bureau, which Li Sui recognized from playing with her father’s badge.

She turned around and saw more people closing in behind her. They had surrounded her.

A burly soldier stepped forward and spat on the ground before her. “You’ve got guts, coming to the You Capital in broad daylight like this! Do you think we’re here just for show?”

Li Sui had been monitored the moment she entered You Capital.

She hurriedly explained, “Don’t stop me! I have an urgent matter. Is Xuan Pin here? I need to see Xuan Pin.”

“Who the hell is Xuan Pin? Never heard of him!”

Li Sui blinked in confusion for a moment. Xuan Pin was the chief of the Surveillance Bureau. How could they not know him?

She quickly realized her mistake. Xuan Pin belonged to the Surveillance Bureau of the Great Liang, and this was the Great Qi. It made sense that they didn’t know him.

“Sorry, I misspoke. Let me try again. Is your Chief here? I have urgent business with him. It’s about the Dharma Sect. My father is helping you fight against the Dharma Sect!”

They didn’t care about her explanation. Their weapons and magic artifacts were already flying towards her.

“What are you doing?! I don’t want to fight you! We’re on the same side!” Li Sui cried and dodged the attacks, but she was overwhelmed by their sheer numbers. A silver vajra flew at her with lightning speed and pierced her left arm.

“You’re all bullying me!” Li Sui cried out. Her human form began to split apart as she sobbed. A bloody, dog-like head emerged from beneath her skirt, accompanied by black tentacles that burst out from her clothes and flailed around in all directions.

“Don’t kill her! Keep her alive! We need to find out who she’s spying for!”

The Surveillance Bureau agents replied as they closed in from all sides. “Understood!”

A blind nun was the first to strike. Her whisk swept like a steel hook, instantly severing three of Li Sui’s tentacles and spraying blood everywhere.

That was only the beginning. Two burly men dressed in tight-fitting outfits rapidly stretched a dripping black ink line into a massive net, which they then cast over Li Sui.

Li Sui refused to give up. She reached out with her remaining tentacles and attempted to draw symbols on turmeric paper. However, in the distance, a Daoist with a painted face made a hand gesture. All of her talismans burst into flames, reducing them to nothing but ashes.

Li Sui couldn’t use her talismans without turmeric paper. She was no match against the soldiers in physical combat, and the situation became desperate in an instant.

The sharp-eyed Surveillance Bureau members sensed her growing weakness. They quickly tightened the encirclement, determined to finish her off.

Whoosh! Her tentacles were sliced off one after another and writhed on the ground.

The pain brought tears to Li Sui’s eyes, but the attacks didn’t stop even as her tears flowed.

Now that she had no tentacles left, the soldiers stepped forward and formed a Flying Dragon formation to charge at her.

Their killing intent wrapped around their gleaming sabers. They pierced Li Sui’s heart, inflicting a chilling pain.

She saw the wall of blades coming toward her and cried desperately. “Get away from me! I want to go home!”

The next moment, something unexpected happened. It was as if the Flying Dragon formation had hit an invisible barrier—it completely broke down, and the soldiers were sent flying.

These were the imperial guards of the royal city. How could their formation be broken so easily?

“Be careful! This demon still has tricks up her sleeve! Don’t let your guard down!”
