THE RISE OF THE DEMON ALCHEMIST
Chapter 36's

She Xia simply nodded as he raised his right hand upwards and told them to get up.

The demons immediately woke up from their prostration, but then they returned to prostrate before Wu Zhuang and Jia Li.

"Our respect to the king of darkness and the queen of hell" they said in unison.

Wu Zhuang flicked his hanfu arm, and they finally woke up.

"Go back to your respective places" Jia Li said giving the order.

They immediately left. After that Jia Li also invited his parents to visit the rainbow valley, and showed a small pond that has water with different colors but not united.

"Dad.. Mother.. You can continue your cultivation in that pond. Name of the pool Yin and Yang. In this valley there is also a portal to the upper world" Jia Li told his parents.

"alright.. We will cultivate here" Wu Zhuang said

"Dad.. Can I ask for help?" jia Li asked while showing her innocent smile

"Tell me what this father's beautiful daughter wants" Wu Zhuang replied

"My two favorites are currently sealed in the demon valley, can I take them?" asked Jia Li

"alright.. Father will take you there" Wu Zhuang said as he stroked the mane of his beloved daughter.

"No-no.. Father and mother will cultivate here, let me alone go and take it there" Jia Li said

"alright.. Father's daughter can take it herself, but remember to be careful" Wu Zhuang warned.

"Yes.. I understand father.." said Jia Li as he stepped his short legs away from the valley.

While in the middle world today, all emperors are meeting to overcome the plague that is now sweeping the people of the entire empire.

A fortune teller suggested that the emperors ask for help from a demonic alchemist, only that the clairvoyant could not see where his existence was, making them all even more riled up.

Emperor Xuan glanced at Wu Jin who was currently sitting quietly.

"Do you know where the demon alchemist lives?" ask emperor Xuan

"The kingdom of darkness has disappeared with its soldiers. Means the remaining demon race is just a demon of hell. They live in the underworld." said Wu Jin

"Then.. Can you take us there?" ask emperor Xuan back

"No, even though I'm a demon, I can't go there carelessly, it's led by a queen who is the goddess of hell" Wu Jin said

"Is there a way to get there?" emperor Liu asked while holding his temple.

"There are two ways I know how to get in there, first if the queen herself is the one who pulled us there or second choice by sneaking through the valley of hope, according to the news I heard there is a bottomless abyss connecting the middle world and also the underworld in that valley" Wu Jin explained everything he knew.

"I will also go with crown prince Liu Shang to look for the demon alchemist's father" said Prince Xuan Zhixing

"Let me accompany the noble princes" this time the most famous general of Liu's kingdom also chimed in on their words.

The youngest and most talented general who has gone through ten wars and brought victory to the Liu empire, general Jun Jiang.

The emperors were actually reluctant to let go of their sons to go to the underworld, especially when they knew the demon race was the most cruel and extremely dangerous race.

But today, the plague that became the scourge of every empire made them inevitably have to release their successors to get the best solution for all the people of the empire.

Emperor Liu finally nodded and allowed his eldest son to leave.

"Alright my son, Zen let you go with general Jun Jiang. Bring some soldiers to help you when you leave and you should always be careful, Zen had heard that the demon nation is not a nation that can be cooperated with easily." emperor Liu advised his son Liu Shang.

"Alright father, this prince understands and will continue to remember the father's advice" crown prince Liu Shang said.

"Thank you, your majesty, and beg the blessings of the emperors all for our journey" said General Jun Jiang, bowing his head.

"Are you sure you're going with crown prince Liu Shang and general Jun Jiang my son?" emperor Xuan asked the prince Xuan Zhixing.

"Right father, this prince wants to be a part of them" said prince Xuan Zhixing steadily.

"Alright, zen will allow you to go there. But you have to remember one thing my son, they are not beings who can trust easily in the human race. So try not to make a fight with them so that they don't think you guys have bad intentions" Emperor Xuan said sternly.

"This prince understands father" said prince Xuan Zhixing, answering his father's doubts.

Finally they agreed and decided that the princes and crown princes of each empire would join the entourage accompanied by the general and also the 10 best soldiers of each empire.

Wu Jin only listened to the words of every emperor without showing any objection or doubt to them.

Wu Jin was confident that they could get through any difficulties that would come their way.

"Take this and you can eat these leaves when you're in trouble, and remember not to swallow the leaves, just the water." wu Jin said as he handed over some leaves to the princes and also the young general of every rudeness.

"What is this uncle Wu Jin?" asked Prince Xuan Zhixing as he flipped through the leaves that were in his hands.

"The devil of hell is notoriously vicious and extremely cruel. They also often intersected with the Gods from the upper world, as there was a portal in the rainbow valley connecting the upper world as well as the lower world. Thousands of years ago there was a battle between the demons as well as the gods for fighting over a territory won by the gods and causing the goddess of hell to die. But it looks like the battle will re-emerge considering that the goddess of hell has been reborn and will demand revenge" Wu Jin said

"Then what does this have to do with the leaves?" this time the crown prince Liu Shang asked.

"The leaves are spirit leaves, if anything happens they can hide your existence. Even gods cannot see you. Use the leaves well and remember not to trust new people, the devil is good at manipulating and also changing their form. So be careful" Wu Jin said

"Does that mean the king of darkness back then chewed on these leaves so that uncle Wu Jin could not see and discover his whereabouts?" asked Prince Xuan Zhixing

"I think it's like that" Wu Jin said confirming the thought of prince Xuan Zhixing.
