Fight for power, gogogo

Mo Zuili cleared her throat and questioned, "Why does the demon race dare to come to the human race in such a grand manner?" She was trying to stall for time.

Mo Zuili glanced around and saw that more than thirty demons had arrived.

Fortunately, they hadn't gone far; such a commotion should have delayed Mo Yuan's arrival by half a moment.

"Damn it!" Mo Zuili hurriedly activated the teleportation talisman, dodging the girl's attack in a sorry state.

That's so unsportsmanlike! Why did they just start fighting like that?!

As the male protagonist who has not yet turned evil, Shen Ling is at his most righteous now. When he saw the other party make a move, he disregarded the fact that the other party had many people and the leading girl was in the early stage of the Golden Core realm. He blocked an attack for Mo Zuili, then stepped forward with his sword and fought with the leading girl.

Mo Zuili also brought out all her trump cards, with talismans of all kinds flying around, and a few magical artifacts exploding in the middle.

They actually managed to intercept the Phoenix Clan members until Mo Yuan arrived.

Mo Zuili really didn't want to wait for someone to rescue her, but every time she encountered an opponent whose cultivation was far superior to hers before she had become strong enough.

"Does the demon race come to my Mo family in such a grand manner to start a war with the human race?" Mo Yuan waved his hand to suppress the girl leading the group.

The girl chuckled and slowly said, "Then I'd like to ask your Mo family why you captured my Phoenix Clan elder?"

Both Mo Yuan and the girl knew perfectly well that the four Phoenix Clan members who had been captured were just a decoy; the Phoenix Clan had come for Mo Zuili.

As the two sides faced off, Mo Zuili's mind raced, trying to find a chance to slip away, when she heard Mo Yuan transmit his voice: "Nannan, what are your plans? The demon clan trial will begin in thirty days. As Yingyan's child, if you want to fight for the demon king position that belongs to you, I will support you."

If you don't want to, then follow Elder Tan. He will take you and your senior brother back to Medicine King Mountain. You can stay on the mountain and wait for the demon race's trial to end. The Phoenix Clan will not come again.

According to her original plan, Mo Zuili did not want to get involved in the troubles of the Phoenix Clan.

After all, once he becomes stronger, finds Qi Shuyan, and discovers a way to solidify his foundation, he can leave this world.

According to the original plot of the novel, I deduce that they should be in Medicine King Mountain now, and the Phoenix Clan cannot be found there.

The image of the Phoenix Clan's leader girl was reflected in Mo Zuili's pupils.

He let out a sigh of relief. He had been running away from the book ever since he transmigrated into it, and he was really fed up with it.

"Are you Huang Tianyao?" Mo Zuili asked, looking at the girl.

The girl sneered, "You're not worthy of the princess's personal intervention. I am Shangguan Fu'er. If you know what's good for you, surrender and hand over the Nirvana Fire!"

Mo Zuili raised an eyebrow: "Isn't the Nirvana Fire something that can't be taken out once it's planted?"

"If you die, then..." Before Shangguan Fu'er could finish speaking, Mo Yuan intervened, interrupting her with powerful spiritual energy.

Mo Zuili clicked her tongue, which meant there was no room for negotiation.

Mo Zuili didn't have Mo Yuan's powerful cultivation level, so he couldn't transmit his voice in public without being discovered by Shangguan Fu'er. He could only glance at Elder Tan.

Upon receiving a look from Mo Zuili, Elder Tan instantly understood her decision. He grabbed Shen Ling, who was injured in the fight, and quickly flew backward with Mo Zuili.

Shangguan Fu'er wanted to chase after him, but Mo Yuan easily stopped her: "She is my daughter. If you want to take her away from me and from the Mo family, you should at least get your Phoenix Clan to agree first."

Elder Tan brought Mo Zuili and Shen Ling back to the Mo family and said, "You two can go directly to the foot of Medicine King Mountain via the spatial tunnel."

Mo Zuili stared at the space tunnel in front of her, which was like a black hole, and did not step into it directly. After Shen Ling went in, she said to Elder Tan, "I want to go to the dungeon to see that Phoenix Clan elder."

The two exchanged a glance, and before Elder Tan could ask, Mo Zuili said directly, "Yes, I'm going to fight for it."

Although Huang Geng was a fanatical madman who fervently supported his return to succeed to the throne, he was right about one thing: "The Nirvana Fire truly belongs to you."

Whether it's Nirvana or the demon king position that was supposed to be his own, it should have belonged to him from the start.

In the novel, the author abandoned this subplot for the sake of the male protagonist.

Now that I've transmigrated into the book, I never thought about fighting the demon race before, but Huang Tianyao's faction is really getting excited, huh? They're clinging to me relentlessly.

Old Tan sighed and still took Mo Zuili to the dungeon.

Upon seeing Mo Zuili enter, the old man seemed to sense the aura of another Phoenix Clan member on her and exclaimed excitedly, "Have those traitors found the princess yet? Princess, you should hurry back to the Phoenix Clan with us. We will protect you until the Demon Clan Trials begin!"

Mo Zuili remained calm, showing no signs of being chased. She waited for the old man to finish speaking before slowly asking, "What's your name? I'll be back during the demon race trial, but I still have something to take care of. How will I find you after I've finished?"

Before the old man could react to what Mo Zuili meant, Elder Tan had already broken the spell and untied the black iron binding him.

"Princess, the demon race's trial is imminent. Your Nirvana Flame is abnormal and you are unable to undergo Nirvana for a long time. What could be more important than Nirvana?"

Mo Zuili stared at the old man coldly and said, "Answer my question, or you can continue to stay in the dungeon."

The old man frowned and sighed, "My name is Huang Tianlu."

After lingering for a while under Mo Zuili's gaze, she finally took out a bright red jade token from her storage ring and said, "After you finish dealing with your business, Princess, you only need to crush this jade token to briefly open a spatial tunnel. The tunnel leads to the Phoenix Clan's interior. You can come directly here, and someone will come to pick you up."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Elder Tan snatched the token away. Huang Tianlu's Adam's apple bobbed as he tried to persuade him again.

But Mo Zuili took the token and immediately turned to leave, without even giving Huang Tianlu a glance.

Standing in front of the space tunnel leading to the foot of Medicine King Mountain, Mo Zuili held the jade token and bowed to Elder Tan, saying, "Please trouble Elder Tan to tell my father that I have failed his expectations and could not stay in the human race to cultivate safely step by step."

With a soft sigh, Elder Tan shook his head and said, "I will speak to the patriarch. Young Master, you don't need to feel guilty about this. The patriarch will support your choice."

Mo Zuili gave a soft "hmm" and, without saying anything more, turned and entered the space tunnel.

Sensing that Mo Zuili's aura had disappeared, Shangguan Fu'er, relying on her superior numbers, no longer wanted to entangle with Mo Yuan. She immediately used the Phoenix Clan's secret technique to break free from Mo Yuan's restraints and quickly left with the Phoenix Clan members.

When Mo Yuan returned to the Mo family, after listening to Elder Tan recount Mo Zuili's choice, he did not blame her, but sighed helplessly, saying with a touch of melancholy, "I always felt that Nannan became different from before after losing her memory. However, that familiar energy of hers is still there. She's grown up now, so let her make her own decisions."

Mo Zuili, who had finally climbed up Yaowang Mountain, was unaware that Mo Yuan had already vaguely sensed the subtle differences between himself and Zitui.

The first thing Mo Zuili did upon returning to the mountain was to find Chu Qing and tell him everything about her encounter with the Phoenix Clan at the Mo family. Finally, she asked Chu Qing for a pill to accelerate her cultivation and then went back to seclusion with the pill.

With his Foundation Establishment cultivation level, he couldn't even defeat Shangguan Fu'er, a subordinate of Huang Tianyao. How could he possibly compete for the position of Demon King?

Thirty days is not enough for others to engage in secluded cultivation.

However, Mo Zuili possesses the Nirvana Flame, and the situation is urgent. He should first take pills to raise his cultivation to at least the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

Mo Zuili finally broke through after twenty days.

As she exited the customs, Mo Zuili felt as if she had forgotten something.

After finding Chu Qing and telling him about her plan to go to the demon race to fight for power, Mo Zuili finally remembered that there was still someone on Medicine King Mountain.

"Master, where is Senior Brother? He was injured at the Mo family, is he alright now?" Mo Zuili asked with a frown.

Chu Qing smiled and poured herself a cup of tea, then said, "He went into seclusion to prepare for a breakthrough three days after you went into seclusion."

Mo Zuili almost dropped her teacup.

What had he forgotten? He had forgotten that Shen Ling would break through to the Golden Core stage during this seclusion and completely awaken his Ghostly Vengeance Bloodline!

Thinking of how the character in the novel almost got killed by the mentally unstable Shen Ling after pushing himself away, Mo Zuili had no intention of visiting Shen Ling alone.

But he couldn't just ignore it; he was still planning to rely on Shen Ling in the Demon Realm to find the method of "consolidating his foundation" mentioned in the novel.

Clearing her throat, Mo Zuili feigned concern: "Master, did you find a solution for Senior Brother's abnormal bloodline last time? The abnormality occurred because of his breakthrough in cultivation. Will there be another problem this time? Should you go and check on him?"

Chu Qing sighed softly.

“It was my oversight that led me to this. ‘Primordial Beginning’ is an ancient cultivation method, and there are no records of it in ordinary books. Moreover, there is only half a scroll. Although it does not affect cultivation, it may have other effects. Now, the only option is to abandon his cultivation and start over with a different method. With his current cultivation level, it would be too cruel to give up and start over.”

Mo Zuili's heart was like a roller coaster, rising and falling.

Please don't retake the course! How will you get to the Demon Realm if you retake it!

"I asked him, and he said he would decide based on the outcome of this breakthrough." Chu Qing took a sip of tea and revealed Shen Ling's final decision.

Mo Zuili was relieved; there was no turning back now that she had broken through to the Golden Core stage.

Originally, Mo Zuili planned to go to the Phoenix Clan after leaving seclusion, but because of Shen Ling's seclusion and breakthrough, she waited for another five days before finally witnessing the tribulation that belonged to Shen Ling's breakthrough to the Golden Core stage.

The five-colored tribulation clouds surged, exactly like the five elements thunder tribulation described in the novel.

A cultivator with five spiritual roots who has survived the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation is far more powerful than an ordinary cultivator with only one spiritual root.

According to the novel, the Golden Core realm requires the integration of the five elements, and only after breaking through the Golden Core and entering the Nascent Soul stage can one begin to cultivate the mutual generation of Yin and Yang.

But none of this matters to the male protagonist anymore. After this breakthrough, Shen Ling awakens the Ghostly Vengeance Bloodline, faces betrayal and isolation from everyone, and will shatter his golden core to go to the Demon Realm to start cultivating the demonic path anew.

Chu Qing was unaware of the novel's plot. Seeing that Shen Ling's breakthrough could attract the Five Elements Thunder Tribulation, she felt both gratified and worried.

Mo Zuili noticed this and said to Chu Qing, "Master, let's go take a look. Senior Brother is currently in a critical period of breakthrough, and he still needs Master's protection."

Before Chu Qing could even step in to protect her, Mo Zuili keenly sensed the demonic energy emanating from the direction of Shen Ling's seclusion.

I glanced at Chu Qing secretly, and yes, I noticed it too.

Remembering that there was a Jiang Kunyue in Yaowang Mountain who hated the demon race and had advised Chu Qing to be careful of Shen Ling, Mo Zuili's mind raced. She had to protect Shen Ling and could not let Shen Ling turn to the dark side.
