Chapter 34: Distant Peeping

The Lord of Danfeng.

These four words weigh on my shoulders, heavier than I had imagined.

Zheng Qiuyu locked himself in the "Divine Power Research Laboratory" at the core of Danfeng.

The bookshelves on all four walls were filled with rare scrolls brought from the sect's library, all of which contained records about witchcraft, curses, and secrets of the demonic realm.

The air was filled with the dry scent of old book pages mixed with spiritual ink, and it was so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat.

Her fingertips unconsciously tapped on a yellowed copy of "A Study of Strange Gu in Southern Xinjiang".

Deep.

Deep.

Deep.

The sound in the silent room made her feel upset.

It has been several days since she became the acting leader of Danfeng. She has read almost all the books she could find, but she still has no idea how to remove the love poison from Zhuohuo's body.

The records in these ancient books are obscure and scattered, and progress is irritatingly slow.

At this moment, a trusted disciple rushed in, his face as pale as paper and his voice trembling.

"Elder Zheng! This is bad! Lord 'Son of God'...he seems to be a little off!"

Zheng Qiuyu's heart sank suddenly.

The figure disappeared instantly.

In the secret room where the cold jade bed was placed, the cold was even more biting than usual.

The sleeping fire is no longer quiet.

His brows were tightly knitted into a "川" shape, and a suppressed and painful growl rolled out from the depths of his throat, like a desperate beast trapped in an invisible cage.

The blood-colored love poison chain mark on his forehead was beating wildly like a dying heart, and its light flickered.

The newly added cracks were clearer and more hideous than those on the day of the finals, almost tearing the mark apart.

In my mind, the cold blue handwriting refreshed without emotion.

[System Alert: The fusion speed of the Heavenly Dao Love Gu Lock and the Chaos Origin in the target's body is accelerating, and is expected to enter the irreversible fusion stage within seven days.]

Seven days.

She only has seven days left.

Zheng Qiuyu's blood seemed to freeze in an instant.

Just when she was getting extremely worried, she suddenly remembered something and took out a jade slip of communication from her bosom.

This was left by Yun Ya.

She immediately injected spiritual power into it, and the jade slip suddenly became extremely hot, almost burning her skin.

Yun Ya's voice, which was filled with unprecedented solemnity, rang directly in her mind.

"I sense the intense fluctuations of the love Gu on your side."

"The chain fusion has reached a critical point, you must be careful."

"Also, don't blame me for not reminding you, the Succubus Queen has already been dispatched."

Succubus Queen?

Zheng Qiuyu's doubts only lasted for a moment.

The blue system panel in front of you has automatically popped up, providing detailed supplements.

[Target Person: Succubus Queen Soye.]

[Identity: The strongest general under the Demon Lord, and the biological mother of Zhuohuo's half-brother Jin.]

[Strength: Unfathomable.]

[Purpose of this trip: To sense the pure Chaos Origin within Zhuo Huo, to capture him and bring him back to the Demon Realm, to use as a source of energy for the Demon Lord's advancement.]

Not for the looted treasure house.

It's for burning fire.

Wow, this feud between wealthy families has even crossed borders.

A cold sweat instantly broke out on the back of Zheng Qiuyu.

The strongest warrior under the command of the Demon Lord, his strength is definitely enough to easily flatten the entire Qingyun Sect.

A head-on confrontation is like hitting a stone with an egg.

Her mind raced.

Escape? The world is so big, where can I escape to?

Asking for help? Qingyun Sect has already reached the ceiling of human combat power.

No.

The only way to survive is to continue to tell this huge lie to the world.

As she looked at the burning beast struggling in pain in his sleep, an extremely crazy plan quickly took shape in her mind.

She wanted to package the pursuit of the Demon Queen as another test of "divine power".

A grand performance about the "Son of God" and the "Divine Fetus" dedicated to the entire Qingyun Sect and even Her Majesty the Queen.

Zheng Qiuyu immediately walked out of the secret room, the panic on his face faded away, and he regained the absolute calmness of holding power.

"Pass on my order, Danfeng will immediately activate the highest level of defense formation."

"Announce to the public that the Son of God has reached a critical moment in his recuperation and must be isolated from all outside interference. No one is allowed to enter without permission. Violators will be treated as traitors!"

Her voice was cold and firm, instantly giving the originally panicked Danfeng disciples a backbone.

Light screens of formations rose up in various places on Danfeng Peak, and spiritual energy surged, wrapping the entire mountain layer by layer.

To outsiders, this attitude of facing a formidable enemy seems more like a necessary measure to protect the "Son of God".

A show of weakness that appears strong but is actually guilty.

After doing all this, Zheng Qiuyu quietly left Danfeng and came to a remote bamboo forest in the back mountain.

She secretly met with Yun Ya.

"What's the Succubus Queen's weakness?" She went straight to the point without any nonsense.

Yun Ya's figure seemed a little blurry under the shadow of the bamboo. He looked at Zheng Qiuyu deeply, and his eyes were complicated and incomprehensible.

"Suye is a cruel and ruthless person. Her only weakness is her son, Jin."

He paused and added, "Her strongest ability is 'Charm', which can penetrate directly into the mind, making it difficult to resist even the most advanced cultivators. However, this ability will have a greatly reduced effect on pure family affection and... love."

"Family..."

Zheng Qiuyu repeated the word in a low voice, a gleam in his eyes.

At the moment she was talking to Yun Ya, a strong and destructive possessive agitation came from across the long distance.

My heart was gripped by an invisible hand and suddenly tightened.

It's burning fire.

Even in his sleep, he could sense that Zheng Qiuyu was being "close" to another man.

The love chain between his eyebrows fluctuated violently again, and the dormant chaotic power showed signs of awakening.

Zheng Qiuyu's heart skipped a beat. He immediately thanked Yun Ya and hurried back to Danfeng.

She returned to the secret room, leaned over, and placed a gentle kiss on the burning forehead.

【Word Spirit·Pet】

"Be good and don't make trouble."

"I'm just looking for medicine for you. You're the only one in my heart."

Sweet lies, through the power of words, accurately soothe the paranoid and restless heart.

[Sweetness of lies +500.]

The light between his scorching brows gradually subsided, and the painful growl disappeared.

However, just when Zheng Qiuyu breathed a sigh of relief.

puff!

Her heart felt like it was pierced by a red-hot poisonous needle.

An extremely sharp pain exploded from the chest and spread wildly through the limbs and bones.

Her vision suddenly went dark, her body convulsed violently and uncontrollably, her nails dug deep into her palms, and she used all her strength to prevent herself from crying out in pain.

This is not an illusion.

This is the backlash of the love poison.

It was her dependence and "love" mixed with exploitation, which had unconsciously grown during their daily interactions, that triggered the most fundamental rule of this heavenly shackle for the first time.

The deeper the love, the stronger the backlash.

As "sweet" as her words just now, "You are the only one in my heart", are the backlashes at this moment as painful.

Her fate and that of the burning flame were bound together by this chain in the most painful way.

Not long after Yun Ya left.

[System Final Alert: An oversized demonic energy source has been detected approaching at high speed.]

[Estimated arrival time: one incense stick.]
