Snake Queen's Revenge

Yi Wu originally thought that, now that things had come to this, opening the seal would be a natural thing to do. However, no matter how she formed seals or used her magic power, the formation remained motionless.

Perhaps, there was something missing? A mental method, or something else; or perhaps, the hand seals were not right... What was missing?

It was too late to find out now. Yiwu couldn't go out and find the secret method to come back.

The arrow was on the string and had to be released. She gritted her teeth, spontaneously combusted her demonic bones, and forcibly activated the magic circle.

Blood kept flowing out from the corners of her mouth, wetting her dress and dripping onto the ground, forming a puddle of blood.

Seeing that she was willing to risk her life to open the seal, the Black Dragon was looking forward to it, but also a little puzzled, "Is it worth it?"

"Why would you risk your life to open the seal? If the immortals come out, you'll be dead. What's the point?"

Yi Wu swallowed a mouthful of blood, accelerated the burning of the demon bone, and said with a firm look, "Of course it makes sense."

Her father god is sealed in the abyss. As long as the seal is opened, her father god and fellow immortals will be free and return to the top of the clouds.

Yiwu also completed her mission and was free from any restrictions from then on.

And he can also see the world outside the dark.

Unable to swallow in time, Yi Wu vomited out a large pool of blood again, which spilled onto the magic circle.

Finally, the formation began to rotate slowly.

Seeing this, Yi Wu simply took out a dagger and slashed her palm hard, and more blood fell on the magic circle.

She formed seals with her hands again and activated the magic circle with all her strength.

One point, one millimeter, half a circle, one circle, two circles...

Yi Wu didn't remember how many times she had turned around. She only knew that her newly cultivated magic bones had burned out, all the blood in her body had drained out, and she was unable to open the seal.

She used up her last bit of strength and collapsed beside the magic circle, tears of blood falling, feeling extremely unwilling.

"How many turns do I have to make? How many turns do I have to make?"

"I just want to do this one thing, why is it so difficult, so difficult?"

"Father God...I'm sorry, I didn't listen to you. Please don't blame me."

…

"Girl, girl?"

"Girl, are you okay?"

It seemed as if someone had been patting her shoulders. Yi Wu frowned and opened her eyes with difficulty, unable to tell where she was for a moment.

Unexpectedly, what just happened was just a dream, it was so real.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?"

The restaurant owner came back from the street and saw a person lying by the second-floor window from afar. He was motionless and looked like he had fainted. She was so scared that she hurried up to check.

It doesn't matter if he gets drunk, but if he dies, it will affect the restaurant's business, so she hurried to wake him up.

Yi Wushang still had a headache and felt her face was a little cold, so she raised the back of her hand to wipe it.

Seeing this, the proprietress came over with concern and leaned over to wipe her with a handkerchief, "Oh, why are you still crying?"

"Did you get hurt by some stinky man? I'll teach him a lesson for you." She wasn't embarrassed when Yi Wu dodged her, and continued to comfort him: "Girl, you are so beautiful, you can have any man you want. Why shed tears for those bad men? It's not worth it."

This far-fetched comfort pulled Yi Wu out of her nightmare a little. She wiped her tears and asked casually, "Does a woman's tears have to be for a man?"

The proprietress sat down beside her, poured her a cup of hot tea and handed it to her, saying with a familiar tone, "Aren't ordinary women like this?"

"For an ordinary woman, the most important thing in her life is to find a good man to entrust her life to. How she spends the rest of her life depends entirely on the man..."

"An ordinary woman..." Yi Wu nodded. Although she didn't quite agree, she didn't refute anything. She took a sip of hot tea, propped up her chin and looked out the window. "It's fine."

Being able to worry about a man and not having any other major worries is considered a good life.

There was silence for a long time. The proprietress wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. She patted her shoulder and went downstairs.

Yiwu was still standing by the window in a daze, thinking about the nightmare she had just had.

Maybe it wasn't a nightmare, maybe it was a premonition. Fortunately, it was just a dream, and there was still time for everything.

She raised her hand to cover her heart, feeling the location of the sacral bone in her body, and her mind calmed down.

The seal must not be opened unless it is absolutely necessary. If you lose your immortal bone, there will be no going back.

Yiwu carefully recalled the details of her dream and suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense.

Jiufang Jie's heart's blood was the key to unlocking the seal. She could steal the key, but the mental method... If unlocking the Jiming Seal truly required a mental method or formula, where would she find it? Jiufang Mingyuan? How could he easily acquire the things stored in his mind?

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the empty room. Qingpu hurriedly took two steps forward and bowed, "Greetings, Saint. Something terrible has happened."

"The high priest was injured!"

Without waiting for Yi Wu's response, she continued, "A powerful snake demon suddenly led his demon soldiers to the summit of Cloud Peak, claiming that the demons had killed her son. She demanded that we hand over the murderer, or else she would razed Cloud Peak."

"The high priest went to stop her, but she severely injured him. The other demons are no match for her. You should return now."

Perhaps because she was just troubled by a nightmare, Yiwu did not hear any movement from Jinchan.

"Let's go." As soon as she stood up, she turned into black mist and disappeared, and Qingpu followed closely.

Somehow, Yiwu had a strong premonition that the murderer the monster was looking for might be her.

As soon as we arrived at the palace gate at the top of the cloud, we saw the corpses of the demon guards lying all along the way. Almost all of them were killed in one blow. It seems that this monster is extremely powerful.

If there were not so few demons stationed at the top of the cloud, the monsters would not be so rampant.

Following the trail, Yiwu found the Netherworld Palace, where two little demons were guarding the entrance.

Seeing Yi Wu, Xiao Yao raised his spear, placed it against her neck, and shouted, "Stop! Who are you?"

Yi Wu did not answer, but waved her hand casually, and the two little demons flew backwards into the hall, screaming in pain and falling next to the tail of the first demon girl.

The Snake Princess shook her long tail, looked up at the door, and impatiently scolded the little demon: "Get out of here, useless thing, you are embarrassing yourself."

"Since you have come to visit Yunzhiding, should we observe some rules?" Yi Wu's voice came before she even left the room.

She slowly walked into the Netherworld Palace, her eyes sweeping over the high priest hanging from the beam and the demons tied up in the open space nearby. "Didn't your parents teach you what etiquette is?"

The high priest was seriously injured, with large bloodstains on his clothes, and it was unknown how long he had been unconscious.

Yiwu threw out the dagger, and the rope broke immediately. The high priest fell to the ground with a "bang", groaning in pain, and still did not wake up.

Snake Princess just watched without stopping her. Her fingers played with the hair by her ears, and she smiled fiercely, "There's no need to be polite to a murderer."

"Little girl, how do I feel..."

The long snake tail stretched out, encircling Yi Wu in circles. Snake Princess sat up straight, her pupils fixed on her. "Do you smell familiar?"

Yi Wu raised her hand to retract the dagger and said perfunctorily, "Don't try to get too close. We're not that familiar."

She calmly used her magic energy to tightly wrap up the undigested demon pills in her body to prevent them from being noticed by the snake demon.

Snake Queen didn't say anything else, and the two sides remained deadlocked for a long time.

Quietly, the snake's tail tightened, squeezing Yiwu's ankles. Any tighter and it would break her bones. Yiwu didn't hesitate, swiping out her dagger and piercing the snake's tail.

The snake princess felt pain, and the scales on her face exploded. She suddenly released her tail, extended her tongue, and hissed. All the monsters immediately raised their weapons and attacked Yiwu.

Yi Wu flung the dagger aside, transforming it into a longsword, calmly blocking all the attacks. She was skilled, but the enemies were too numerous to kill.

He chopped the spear with his right hand and kicked the little demon away with his left foot. Yiwu was able to fight against a hundred people at once and never lost the upper hand.

A quarter of an hour later, most of the demons were dead or wounded, but she had only suffered minor injuries. Snake Queen, who had been watching from the sidelines, remained silent. Then, seizing the perfect moment, she lashed her tail across Yi Wu's abdomen, sending her flying.

Snake Queen is the younger sister of the current Demon King and has profound Taoism skills. She used 90% of her strength in this sneak attack, and Yi Wu was caught off guard and had no way to resist.

Her back hit the roof, causing her excruciating pain, and she flew far away.

Before Yiwu could recover, her back hit something again. She was forced to stop and her body began to fall.

In just a moment, a big hand reached out and firmly grabbed her collar from behind, allowing her to steady her body.

Glancing at the blood on Yiwu's mouth, Jiufang Mingyuan asked in an unhappy tone, "What happened?"

After hearing who had bumped into her, Yi Wu tried to break free, but was instead grabbed by the shoulders. The pressure on her wound made her gasp in pain.

Jiufang Mingyuan's gloomy face relaxed a little, and he took his men and flashed back to the main hall of the Netherworld Palace.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Yi Wu took half a step forward, leaving Jiufang Mingyuan's arms, not daring to get too close to him.

His eyes swept across her back, Jiufang Mingyuan twisted his fingertips, and withdrew his hand.

"Another one."

The Snake Princess stood up, twisting her tail as she walked down the stairs, carefully examining the newcomer. "Black flame robe, golden mask, you must be the Young Lord of the Demon Clan, Jiufang Mingyuan."

No one answered, so Snake Princess continued, "Great, finally someone's here to take charge."

"Let's be frank. Over a month ago, someone from your demon clan killed my son, Baihu. I'm here today to seek revenge."

"We demons are not unreasonable. As long as you hand over the murderer, I will show mercy and spare your lives. Otherwise, you will all be buried with my beloved son."

After she finished her nonsense, Jiufang Mingyuan spoke slowly: "Words are not enough, where is the evidence?"

"Do you need more evidence?" The Snake Queen was furious. She slapped the ground with her tail, creating several fine cracks. "Humans are weak and no match for the demons. And the demons all know that he is the demon king's nephew and a noble man, so they dare not harm him. And the immortals have been sealed away in the underworld by you. Tell me, besides you demons, who else could it be?"

Her analysis was well-reasoned and well-founded, but Jiufang Mingyuan snorted and laughed, dismissing her. "Since there's no evidence, it's slander."

His gaze swept over the high priest, whose life or death was unknown, and the bound demon, finally landing on Yi Wu's bloodstained back. He spoke coldly, "Snake Princess, you, based on your own speculation, trespassed into the demon's territory and harmed my people. What is your punishment?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce demonic energy spread out, and a group of little demons were knocked away and fell to the ground with a thud.

Snake Princess also spurted blood and raised her hands to cover her chest.
