C2198 The Way Ahead
However, more importantly, it was because this level of the Tower of Return to the Ruins was a 'living being', and not a cultivation technique or magical equipment.
After a slight pause, Chu Yan calmed himself down and asked, "What is your name?"
"This servant does not have a name, so may the Young Master bestow a name upon me."
"What is your actual body? Do you have any martial skills or techniques?" Chu Yan asked after thinking for a while.
"This servant originally thought that the Grandmist Dragon Tooth Scorpion's cultivation method was Grandmist Purple Flame, and that Dragon Heart's Hundred Transformations." The woman said respectfully.
"Grandmist …" At this moment, the voice came from behind the door of hell.
Chu Yan nodded.
If a demonic beast could use the name grandmist, then that was enough to prove its identity.
However, it was impossible to say that this demon scorpion had survived the grandmist period.
If that was the case, he definitely wouldn't be suppressed here.
To be able to live from such a long time ago until now, to have the great divine ability and great karmic luck added to one's body, there probably wasn't much of a chance in this world right now.
But for this demon scorpion to be able to use this as its name, it must have the bloodline of a grandmist giant demon flowing through its body.
And this bloodline must be extremely pure.
This way, Chu Yan could feel the powerful and obscure dao from his body, and it could be explained.
Chu Yan was thinking in his mind while the scorpion lay motionless on the ground, seemingly very patient.
After a while, Chu Yan said, "Lift your head up."
The scorpion slowly straightened its body and lifted its head, revealing its cold and charming face.
In particular, there was a teardrop mark under the right corner of her eye, causing her expression to be inexplicably shocking.
"Yes, I've thought about it." Chu Yan nodded, "From now on, you will be called Dao Ba."
"..." A sound came from behind the door to hell.
Obviously, the person that Chu Yan named the demon scorpion was shocked.
He even expressed his dissatisfaction.
However, Chu Yan didn't care.
It's not like I'm giving you a name, it's useless no matter how much you object.
Staring at the scorpion, Chu Yan said lightly: "Are you accepting it or not."
"Dao Ba thanks the Young Noble for giving me his name."
That was accepting.
Ignoring the noises that came from behind the Gates of Hell, Chu Yan continued, "Were you arranged by my mother to stay here?"
After asking this question, Chu Yan couldn't help but hold his breath.
In fact, he had wanted to be more direct.
But he held back and asked the question first.
To Chu Yan, the short wait of two breaths seemed as long as two hundred years.
"Yes." The Demon Scorpion, who had received Dao Ba's name, said, "Mistress has ordered Dao Ba to wait here for Young Noble. She wants Dao Ba to fully assist Young Noble so that Young Noble can drive him."
"Then …" Chu Yan felt his throat become dry at this moment.
The beating of his heart was like a dense drumbeat.
But in the past, he had never experienced such a tense moment.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Chu Yan asked, "What is my mother's status?"
This time, Dao Ba didn't hesitate and immediately replied, "Mistress has instructed me, anything related to her will be investigated by the Young Noble himself, please do not inform the Young Noble about Dao Ba."
Chu Yan immediately frowned. His heart also slowly calmed down. He looked at Dao Ba and coldly said, "Then if you don't say anything, I will kill you?"
As he spoke, he hooked his finger and a gash appeared on Dao Ba's cheek, from which blood flowed out.
However, Dao Ba did not move. He didn't even blink.
"Dao Ba is master's slave now, everything is master's. As long as master orders Dao Ba to die, Dao Ba's soul will immediately disperse and he will not hesitate."
As he spoke, a ball of purple flame burned between Dao Ba's eyebrows.
The shadow of a nine-section scorpion could be clearly seen within the flames.
This was Dao Ba's soul, and also his soul.
She didn't even need Chu Yan to act before she presented him to Chu Yan.
It was as she had said herself. Chu Yan could kill him with no effort at all; his soul had been exterminated.
Dao Ba's eyes were extremely calm.
Chu Yan frowned even more.
He did not understand why his mother would not tell him about her.
"Why is that?"
Chu Yan clenched his fists tightly.
When Chu Yan saw living things on this floor, he was first shocked, then immediately became happy.
According to what he had thought in his heart, since it was a living creature, he would definitely have been able to obtain an answer from its mouth.
In the end, Dao Ba died rather than reveal anything.
"Why?" Chu Yan asked coldly after he had calmed down.
The killing intent in his words did not weaken in the slightest.
These words were not asked to Dao Ba, but to himself.
His mother had left him a clue and told him to look for her.
However, he was unwilling to reveal even the slightest bit of information to Yun Yang at such a crucial moment.
He didn't even want to know her identity.
The surrounding air seemed to have turned into mercury at this moment, the pressure making it difficult to breathe.
"Creak, creak ~ ~ ~"
Even the surrounding void seemed to be unable to withstand this heavy pressure. The sound of twisting steel plates could be heard, and hair-like cracks appeared.
Chu Yan looked at Dao Ba.
Actually, Chu Yan knew that if he insisted on knowing, then there were several ways.
The Yin Capture Spirit could allow him to directly torture the soul.
Be it human cultivators or demon beasts, it was impossible for them to endure the torture that came from the soul.
Or he could have the person behind the Gates of Hell search Dao Ba's soul.
However, thinking that Dao Ba was a gift that his mother left him at this level, Chu Yan still didn't do anything.
As if feeling the change in Chu Yan's heart at this moment, Dao Ba raised his eyes and looked at Chu Yan with his pair of deep eyes.
"Young master, the mistress also wanted me to pass on a message to you.
Actually, you already know the way forward in your heart. "
The moment he said that, Chu Yan was shocked.
The road that he had traveled for a long time —
At this moment, a picture scroll appeared in front of Chu Yan's eyes.
Human race, Glory City!
That was where it had appeared then.
Chu Yan clenched his fist.
A slightly obscure ray of light flashed past.
A mottled broken sword appeared in Chu Yan's hand.
Mirror moon.
This was the masterwork weapon that Chu Yan still didn't have the ability to use yet.
On that day, the news about Glory City appeared in front of Chu Yan.
"I know what to do." After staring at the moon in the mirror for a long time, Chu Yan nodded and said in a deep voice.
Dao Ba once again crawled on the ground.
"Since you are my mount, then now, follow me out of this place."
As Chu Yan finished his sentence, purple flames started to burn all over Dao Ba's body.
These flames quickly expanded and turned into fist-sized balls of fire. They then connected together and covered Dao Ba's entire body in the blink of an eye.
