Chapter 171 Ji Jiang Turmoil (2)

The woman in green is none other than the Demon Emperor Ji Ni’s confidant, the Jindan cultivator, Xie Mingli.

Without caring whether Xie Mingli had set a trap, Ji Weihang appeared in a flash, grabbed the man's neck and lifted him up, and asked, "Where is Ji Ni?"

This action grasps the opponent's lifeline. If you encounter an ambush, you can counterattack or take hostages in the first time, and you can also control the damage.

You can also read memories at the same time.

Unfortunately, the memory has been processed and there is no information about the demon clan’s plan or the whereabouts of the Demon Emperor.

Faced with her stranglehold, Xie Mingli was forced to look up, put his feet on the table to support his body, and squeezed out a voice from his throat to answer: "I don't know."

She looked at Xie Mingli. If she twisted her body, his fragile neck would be broken in her hands.

But they dared to let Xie Mingli face her alone.

There was a smile of sarcasm and annoyance in her eyes, and her palm slowly tightened, "It seems that Ji Ni doesn't love you as much as the rumors say, and is willing to let you die in my hands..." The voice was cold, "Or do you think I will be soft on the demons?"

As his neck was pinched tightly, Xie Mingli let out a "ugh" sound like a goose being slaughtered, and then he could make no more sound, and his face turned red.

At this moment, sensing something strange behind him, Ji Weihang twisted his waist, held Xie Mingli as if he were holding a sack, turned around easily, and used him as a shield to block the attack.

The fine and sharp blue-gray wind blades came through the wind, and were about to tear Xie Mingli's body apart, but suddenly they changed direction and hit the pillar, leaving marks deep into the wood.

Seeing that the demons in the dark had been fished out, Ji Weihang loosened his strength, and Xie Mingli let out a long breath, and his complexion gradually returned to normal.

Ji Weihang ignored Xie Mingli's condition and stared at the demon who walked in from outside the palace.

His grey hair was neatly tied up with a crown, his grey-green eyes were deep and bright, and his slim grey outfit outlined his muscular figure and the strong muscles on his arms.

The aura that was equivalent to the strength of the Out-of-Body Stage was not strong and intimidating. The closer it got, the more it felt as if it was facing a quiet and deep mountain forest, and the road ahead was obscure.

He is very powerful and has a unique appearance. He must be the mysterious King Misha.

It is indeed a special demon.

High-level demons either have red hair and red eyes due to being soaked in too much blood, or they inherit their mother's appearance and are born with red hair and red eyes.

This light gray-green color and faint and distant aura, to some extent, represents the other party's way of dealing with the world, which is completely different from that of most demons.

She casually threw Xie Mingli aside and said, "If I don't take action, how long will you wait and see?"

Behind the demon, a formation rose up to block the main entrance.

At this time, entry and exit of this palace is prohibited.

King Misha smiled slightly, holding up a scroll of blue-gray bamboo slips formed by the flow of demonic energy in both hands, "I am just curious about the special features of the Son of Destiny, and I mean no offense."

These words inevitably reminded her of Bai Jiuyue's theory about the child of destiny not long ago.

Is it a coincidence or a hint?

With a flash of thought, the blue-gray bamboo slips in the devil's hand opened silently, and large black characters emerged and grew larger, breaking through the wind with a mysterious and majestic aura.

Launch an attack at the slightest disagreement?

Faintly feeling the corrosiveness of the flying big characters, a quick judgment passed through his mind, Ji Weihang entered an invisible state to avoid the attack, and grasped the Danfeng sword that flew out from his dantian.

The Danfeng Sword hummed excitedly in her hand and lit up with a red flame that was destined to burn all evil.

She flashed in front of King Misha, swung out a flaming sword, and phoenix flames burst out, trying to burn the demons to ashes.

As if he could see her in an invisible state, King Misha leaned back in time to avoid the sword. The tip of the sword grazed his neck, and his skin instantly began to smoke, then turned from red to charred black and quickly recovered.

After a slight loss, large characters floated out of the bamboo slips in King Misha's hand and formed into a black rope, trying to entangle and break her right arm that was holding the sword.

This action awakened the python sleeping on her right arm. It suddenly opened its eyes, and its almost invisible body became clear. It grew larger and wrapped around the entire arm, preventing its attack from touching Ji Weihang's body. It opened its mouth and bit off the rope that was delivered to its eyes, and then swung its tail to break the rope apart.

"Hiss--" Its cold vertical pupils stared at King Misha in a warning tone.

The broken characters turned into black ashes floating in the air and dissipated after a moment.

"Huh?" King Misha, who had already distanced himself from her, frowned slightly when he saw the python swallow the words without any damage, looking a little surprised.

She was also surprised for a moment by the python's actions, but was relieved when she found it was unharmed. She took advantage of the moment when the demon king was distracted, rushed forward, and stabbed the tip of the sword into the opponent's body.

As soon as it entered the body, it felt extremely strong resistance and could not move forward an inch.

Strong demonic energy gushed out from the wound, forcing the sword back.

The demonic energy was formed by the concentration and refinement of turbid air, and it had strong corrosive and destructive effects on cultivators, but she had a certain resistance to the demonic energy, so she did not retreat immediately, but instead threw out a gourd-shaped magic treasure.

The gourd spirit treasure opened its mouth automatically, and the evil energy that had been entangled around her and trying to corrode her was irresistibly sucked away by the powerful suction force.

This was somewhat beyond the demon's expectations. King Misha recovered from his wounds instantly to stop the loss of power, but the demonic energy that fell into the gourd had been completely disconnected from his body.

The floating gourd drew an arc in the air and fell into the hands of Ji Weihang, who retreated after one strike. She put away the magic treasure, looked at King Misha with an unchanged expression, and said lightly: "Let's stop the test here. What is your purpose? Why don't you just tell me directly?"

The attack of the King of Misha was not very aggressive, and it was obviously just a test for her. Under normal circumstances, dealing with the Demon King could be considered as training, but in the state of war, such maneuvers and tests made her tired.

Xie Mingli, who was hiding behind a pillar, poked his head out and responded, "Yes, sir, please stop fighting. This is probably not the master's intention." He did not seem to mind being strangled at all.

King Misha walked down the steps handed to him by Xie Mingli, and the bamboo slips in his hand disappeared. He said, "Excuse me, this is our first meeting. I just want to judge whether we want to cooperate based on your strength." His attitude was not sincere, but rather indifferent, as if he didn't care whether she would be unhappy or not.

The python that was wrapped around Ji Weihang's arm swam up to her shoulder, and its tail went around from behind and draped over the other shoulder like a shawl. She lowered her sword-holding hand, and the firelight dimmed.

"Cooperation? I don't think I need to cooperate with you." She didn't look at King Misha, but looked at Xie Mingli coldly, "Cooperation is what the Demon Emperor meant? If she really wanted to cooperate, why didn't she come to see me in person? Instead, she sent a demon who didn't trust my strength? Where do you get the confidence to think that I will cooperate with you when you started a war?"

Xie Mingli walked out from behind the pillar and said, "The person in charge of this matter is His Majesty King Misha. My memory has been processed and I am not clear about the details. I am just responsible for being the bait to lure you here." She obviously believed that cooperation required sincere cooperation and tried her best to tell everything she knew.

Even though she knew that Ji Weihang had seen her memories.

If they wanted to cooperate with her, Xie Mingli, a human, would obviously be a more suitable middleman than King Misha.

Why did Ji Ni choose King Misha to be in charge of this matter? Did Ji Ni trust King Misha more than Xie Mingli?

impossible.

The Demon King is only slightly weaker than the Demon Emperor. Once the Demon Emperor dies, they are the most likely demons to succeed to the throne. It is impossible for them to be loyal to the Demon Emperor. King Misha is not a demon who shares the same ideals as Jin Ni.

Perhaps he was using this to test King Misha? Then, the importance of this matter was obviously not high, otherwise Ji Ni would definitely let Xie Mingli take charge to maximize the success rate of the cooperation.

King Misha is not a fool. He must have realized that Ji Ni's purpose might be to test him, so he will try his best to reach cooperation.

...But the more important deciding factor is - what do they want to cooperate on?

As his thoughts turned, Ji Weihang also asked this question.

King Misha went straight to the point: "I believe you also know that a strange and powerful force has invaded Jijiang Continent and is affecting the overall situation."

Is this about games?

King Misha continued, "A long time ago, Amuda was studying the rebirth method of the demons. Although the demons can re-condense their bodies in the Demon Abyss with the remaining souls, the resurrected demons are completely different from the previous ones.

"Four hundred years ago, Ji Yuan died together with Wan Ao Dao in the war. His soul was damaged. If his body was allowed to return to the Demonic Abyss, I am afraid there would be no reunion. In order to preserve the hope of resurrection, Amuda secretly brought Ji Yuan's body to the secret realm of the abyss to conduct research on resurrection."

The secret realm of the abyss is very suitable for the survival of powerful demons and for preserving souls.

Fifty years ago, Amda, who had stayed in the secret realm of the abyss for more than three hundred years, received a response from her dead student for the first time.

After verifying her true identity, Amuda brought Ji Yuan back to Jijiang Continent. As Ji Yuan requested, she took her back to the place where she died, the border between humans and demons.

Somehow, Amuda lost her trace. When Amuda found her, she was discovered under the sword of Ji Kunling. The newly resurrected Ji Yuan was no match for Ji Kunling in her prime and was beaten half to death. If Amuda had not arrived in time, Ji Yuan would have died for the second time.

After Amuda arrived, Ji Kunling, who was also injured, was worried about being besieged and left quickly.

It was also in that seriously injured state that Amuda discovered that the resurrected Ji Yuan was not the real Ji Yuan, but some kind of mysterious existence that was parasitic on Ji Yuan's corpse and somehow obtained all of Ji Yuan's memories.

Amuda took him back to the Abyss Secret Realm to think about what to do. Ji Ni, who was waiting for her resurrected sister to return, couldn't wait to catch up to the secret realm and put an end to Amuda's idea of killing Ji Yuan. They were reluctant to completely destroy Ji Yuan's hope of resurrection, so they could only imprison him.

Now, "Ji Yuan" has persuaded Ji Ni that as long as Ji Ni kills enough creatures, she will leave Ji Yuan's body and help Ji Yuan resurrect.

Ji Ni launched a war against the two tribes according to what "Ji Yuan" said, but she could not completely trust the other party, so she asked King Misha to talk to Ji Weihang and cooperate with her to find a way to destroy "Ji Yuan" and save Ji Yuan's body and soul.

In return, the demons will stop the war.

Looking at King Misha who had finished speaking, Ji Weihang's tone was a little doubtful, "Do you really think that you can convince me to cooperate and let me help a demon emperor revive after launching a war?"

...Are they serious?

King Misha smiled bitterly: "I know what you mean, but the Demon Emperor does not think this is non-negotiable."

Ji Weihang glanced at Xie Mingli, who was a human. While King Misha was speaking, Xie Mingli's face showed surprise and realization. It was obvious that he had lost this information due to amnesia. After receiving her gaze, he looked back calmly without making any further excuses.

Ji Weihang did not have high expectations for someone who grew up in the demon clan. He looked back at King Misha and said coldly, "I will not cooperate with you."

She was even very happy to destroy the hope of resurrecting the Demon Emperor while killing "Ji Yuan".

This is a good thing for the entire human race and even the entire continent.

King Misha smiled and said, "In this case, I can't let you leave."

Ji Weihang's sword reignited its flames and he said, "Then let's give it a try."

King Misha grabbed Xie Mingli and disappeared. At the same time, dozens of demon generals appeared in the palace.

You can tell at a glance that this is serious.

Ji Weihang threw out the python, and it grew larger on purpose. Its huge body was as tall as the palace. It coiled up and looked down at the demons, like a human looking down at ants, which it could crush to death at will.

Considering that it would be difficult for Python to face the enemy alone because the demon general who was dealing with her must have some special skills, she called out Kunqing for help.

Kunqing, who was wearing a wide sapphire robe and had bronze skin, still looked casual, with straw sandals on his feet and his robe loose.

Only the sleeping dragon and phoenix pattern on the right shoulder opened its eyes, looking majestic and profound.

Ji Weihang said, "I'll leave it to you."

The python spit out its tongue and opened its mouth to swallow the demon's attack;

Kun Qing raised his hands and magical treasures of various colors and shapes floated in the air and flew towards the enemy.

For a moment, all kinds of attacks filled the palace, colorful and lively.

Leaving the unimportant battles to them, Ji Weihang's figure flashed and she stood at the door of the palace. She touched the barrier and a huge force bounced her hand away, leaving a deep stinging sensation.

During the conversation with King Misha, Ji Weihang had already explored the barrier.

The barrier is made of some special energy, not spiritual power, ghost power, or magic power.

Breaking the barrier is essentially destroying the circulation of energy within the barrier. Without knowing the nature of energy, it is inevitable that you will have some trouble breaking the barrier.

How could there be any energy in Jijiang Continent that she hadn't seen before? Yugi must have had a hand in it.

What exactly do the demons and the game want?

There were so many mistakes, omissions and contradictions in King Misha's words that she didn't believe them at all.

First, if Ji Ni did not trust Ji Yuan, he should not have started the war according to the meaning of the game in the first place, nor should he have discussed cooperation with her so carelessly.

If Ji Ni trusted "Ji Yuan", why would he need to cooperate with her?

Second, how can Jin Ni be sure that she can help and seek her cooperation?

Third, if what King Misha said was true, why did he erase Xie Mingli's memory? What was the secret?

Fourthly, when King Misha said “son of destiny” at the beginning, was it an intentional reminder or just a casual remark?

If it was an intentional reminder, the way she knew she was the child of destiny was questionable...

While her thoughts were flowing, King Misha had already sent Xie Mingli back alone and appeared behind her.

She turned around and threw the Danfeng Sword in her hand towards the Demon King. The sword was wrapped in flames and roared towards King Misha.

King Misha's hand was wrapped in blue-gray magic, and he lifted it lightly.

The collision of magic power and spiritual power made a crackling sound, and the Danfeng Sword finally deviated in direction, flew diagonally to the rear, and fell into Kunqing's hands.

The bamboo slips appeared in King Misha's hand again.

She took out the Styx Sword and held it in her hand, saying:

"It was you who processed Xie Mingli's memory and pretended to be Ji Ni's order."
