Fantasy demon world, demon king city.
More than three months had passed since Yun Che brought Xiao Yun and the Tianxia siblings away from the Illusory Demon Realm.
Within three months, the bloody storm in Demon King City gradually came to an end, and the city began to present a peace and tranquility that had not been seen in a hundred years. The Little Demon Queen also became the absolutely supreme existence in the entire Illusory Demon Realm. No one dared to defy her, and no one could defy her.
"...The last heretic has just been found and executed in the south of the city. A hundred years ago, the Profound Sky Continent planted a total of nineteen heretics, and now they have all been eradicated! Among these nineteen people, eleven are from the Supreme Ocean Palace, one of the holy places in the Profound Sky Continent, and the other eight are from the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region."
In the main hall, Mu Yubai knelt on one knee and respectfully reported to the Little Demon Queen. The reason why he knew there were nineteen in total was naturally because of the Yun family's Xuan Gang Soul Capture. After digging out the first one, the number, purpose, the approximate location of the others, as well as how they entered and what they did, could all be known clearly.
The Little Demon Queen wore a long red-gold dress, a purple colored glaze on her head, and a red fluorescent ribbon around her waist, exuding the ultimate elegance and majesty. Her snow-white face was unpainted but beautiful, her lips were like cherry petals, her eyes were like cold stars, and although she no longer had the dead silence and dominance she once had, she was still cold. No one would doubt that if these beautiful eyes could be curved and upturned, they would surely charm the masses and overwhelm the world.
But the soft light in her beautiful eyes would only bloom because of Yun Che.
"Execute him directly? Does this last heretic have the Xuan Gang soul-stealing power?" the Little Demon Queen asked. Her cold eyes caught the strangeness in the depths of Mu Yubai's eyes.
“Reporting to the Little Demon Queen, before the execution, the Xuan Gang Soul Capture was indeed carried out.” Mu Yubai paused, with a worried look on his face. “I got some bad news from him.”
“Speak.” The Little Demon Queen’s face, which was so beautiful that it could not be described in mortal words, was filled with indifference and intimidating majesty, with no expression at all.
Mu Yubai said carefully, "These heretics from the Profound Sky Continent brought with them an extremely special sound transmission stone, which contained an extremely powerful sound transmission formation that could transmit sound directly from our Illusory Demon Realm to the Profound Sky Continent. This sound transmission stone is extremely valuable and rare, and will lose all its profound power after being used once. When they eliminated the eleven people from the Supreme Ocean Palace, according to the Xuan Gang soul search, they brought a total of seven such special sound transmission stones, and used them all up one year and three months ago. When the last news was sent back to the Profound Sky Continent, the Demon Queen Ceremony had not yet been held."
“You mentioned all this several months ago. Why are you bringing it up again? Could it be that the Tianwei Sword Region’s sound transmission stones have not been used up?” The Little Demon Queen’s brows sank slightly.
“Yes.” Mu Yubai nodded, his frown never relaxed: “The eight people from Tianwei Sword Region only brought three sound transmission stones, but in the past hundred years, they have only used two, and the last one… was used only three months ago!”
"What!?" The Little Demon Queen's face suddenly darkened, because she knew exactly what this meant.
“And there was no luck… In the last voice transmission, that person emphasized everything about Yun Che! And it was extremely complete… Including his identity as the son of the Yun family, coming from the Profound Sky Continent, bringing back the body of the Demon King from the Blue Wind Country, suppressing the rebellion of Prince Huai, obtaining the Golden Crow inheritance, and marrying the Little Demon Queen… All of it was transmitted back to the Profound Sky Continent!!”
These were not secrets in the Illusory Demon Realm. Instead, they were known to everyone, including women and children! Everyone in the Illusory Demon Realm knew about the Little Demon Empress, and even more so, everyone knew about the first Demon King in the history of the Illusory Demon Realm!
The Little Demon Empress's already icy eyes became even colder, causing Mu Yubai's entire body to stiffen and he could hardly breathe. After a long while, he finally caught his breath and continued, "In this case, Mighty Heavenly Sword Region must have known Che'er's identity. He is in danger in the Profound Sky Continent! Although Che'er is extremely talented and has made rapid progress, he can never be a match for the Holy Land."
“…” The Little Demon Queen knew about the existence of the Archaic Profound Ark on Yun Che. With the help of the Archaic Profound Ark, he could escape from any crisis, and should not be in mortal danger. But it was impossible for her to be completely at ease… Her father was killed in the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, and Yun Canghai and the martyrs of the Yun family were also killed in the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region’s “Mighty Heavenly Soul Calming Formation”. The Mighty Heavenly Sword Region was already so terrifying. Once Yun Che’s identity was exposed in the Profound Sky Continent, he would have to face more than just the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region. The consequence… would almost make the entire Profound Sky Continent his enemy!
“Did that heretic mention the Mirror of Samsara when he was transmitting the message?” the Little Demon Queen asked in a deep voice.
“Indeed, he did!” Mu Yubai then realized that he had missed a very important point. His face changed again and he gritted his teeth. “On the day of the Little Demon Queen’s wedding, she announced that she would use the Demon King’s most precious treasure, the Samsara Mirror, as a betrothal gift… He also passed on this sentence in its entirety… Damn it!”
"It is indeed very bad news." The Little Demon Queen turned her face away, not letting Mu Yubai see the worry in her cold eyes. At the Demon Queen Ceremony, everyone knew that the long-lost Samsara Mirror was in Yun Che's possession, but he returned the Demon King Seal and never mentioned returning the Samsara Mirror afterwards. The Little Demon Queen mentioned it three times, but he still refused to return it. Later, she simply announced that the Samsara Mirror would be used as a betrothal gift... After all, Yun Che, who married her, was considered to have joined the Demon King clan.
Although the Samsara Mirror is a treasure guarded by the Demon King clan for generations, no one knows its function or how to use it.
But the Tianxuan Continent... is crazy about the three words "Samsara Mirror"! The difficulty of the phantom monster and the plan of the Ming King back then were all based on the Samsara Mirror! It all started with the Samsara Mirror!
Mighty Heavenly Sword Region knew that the Mirror of Samsara was most likely in Yun Che's possession, so perhaps they would not reveal Yun Che's identity, and would look for an opportunity to "take" the Mirror of Samsara alone... But this did not make the Little Demon Queen feel at ease at all, because she thought of a more terrifying thing:
Mighty Heavenly Sword Region knew Yun Che’s identity… but Yun Che had no idea that Mighty Heavenly Sword Region already knew his identity!
“How long will it take for the Yun family’s Sky-breaking Ring to recover its power?” The Little Demon Queen turned around abruptly, her voice icy and chilling.
“The entire Yun family is also worried about Yun Che’s safety, so they used all the purple veined divine crystals they had received before to restore the power of the Sky-breaking Ring. But even so, it will take at least three months to fully recover, but the longest will not exceed six months…”
The Sky-Breaking Ring was the secret weapon that Yun Qinghong and his wife used to sneak into the Profound Sky Continent.
"Three months..." It was obvious that the Little Demon Queen was very dissatisfied with this time. Her eyes moved and she suddenly asked, "How is the investigation of King Ming's whereabouts going?"
"I'm sorry, there has been no progress in the past month. We will definitely..."
"I will give you another three months!" The Little Demon Queen interrupted Mu Yubai coldly, "Within three months, you must find where the Ming King is hiding! But you must not attack rashly like you did the last few times, but inform me immediately! Although the Ming King is seriously injured, he is definitely not something that ordinary people can deal with! As long as you know where he is hiding, I will personally take his life!"
The Little Demon Queen had already thoroughly understood the Blood Escape Technique that Prince Ming used to escape, based on the jade slips containing the [Falling Flame Demon Technique] found in the basement of Prince Huai's mansion. If Prince Ming fell into her hands, even if he used the Blood Escape Technique again at all costs, he would not be able to escape.
"If you still cannot find the location of the Ming King within these three months, you will all cut off a finger to apologize!"
Mu Yubai's whole body shuddered, and he said in panic, "Yubai is incompetent, Little Demon Queen, please calm down... In the next three months, Yubai will not dare to disappoint the Little Demon Queen again."
"Step aside... Let Yun Qinghong come to see me!" The Little Demon Queen turned around and faced Mu Yubai. An extremely oppressive aura filled the entire hall, making Mu Yubai dare not breathe.
"yes!"
Mu Yubai retreated and walked out of the hall. He then let out a long sigh and touched his forehead, which was covered with cold sweat.
"Huh... after all, she is my nephew's wife." Mu Yubai muttered with grievance and left cautiously.
————————————————
At the same time, in Profound Sky Continent, Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.
It was early in the morning, and the sky was already bright. At this time before, Yun Che had already used the Overlord Pill to increase the profound strength of the Ice Cloud girl. At this time, Yun Che was still lying on the ice bed where Chu Yuechan had slept for decades, with his eyes closed, as if he was still in a deep sleep.
At this moment, a red light suddenly flashed beside him, and a petite girl with red hair and red clothes appeared there. She had a cold expression and her eyes were shining with a strange light.
Yun Che opened his eyes and sat up immediately: “Jasmine, why did you come out?”
"Today is the day you and Fen Juechen have an appointment to fight. You wouldn't have forgotten it, would you?" Jasmine said indifferently, tilting her slender eyebrows.
“Of course I haven’t forgotten. So I’m conserving my energy now.” Yun Che said with a relaxed expression.
"It seems that you are not worried at all. I have already reminded you that his profound strength will definitely increase dramatically compared to three months ago... Humph, forget it. Before that, I have a good news. Do you want to hear it?"
“Good news?” Yun Che was about to ask when he suddenly realized that Jasmine’s body no longer had the aura of purification from the Sky Poison Pearl. He immediately rushed forward and asked in surprise, “Could it be that… all the devil poison in your body has been purified?”
“Yes, all of them!” Jasmine turned her face to the side, but Yun Che could see that the corners of her lips were slightly raised… But this time, she was no longer sneering, but instead gave a very faint, yet truly light smile!
If you count carefully, he and Jasmine have been together for a total of six years and ten months.
It was the first time he saw Jasmine truly smile...although it was very slight and brief.
“Great!!” Yun Che exclaimed, his joy came from the bottom of his heart and soul. It was not because getting rid of the nightmare of the devil poison could provide him with a huge boost, but simply because she got rid of the nightmare of the devil poison.
“As expected of the Sky Poison Pearl, this devilish poison with the name of ‘killing gods’ and invading the soul can actually be completely purified. When I first found out that I was poisoned by this devilish poison, I thought I was doomed.” Jasmine looked at her palm and said softly. Now, her soul is as pure as before, without a trace of the God-killing Death Poison. She knows much more about the horror of this poison than Yun Che... Even if it is an ancient true god, if it is poisoned by this poison, the result is basically only annihilation.
But she survived and purified all the God-killing Death Poison. And it only took her less than seven years.
“Hey… this is clearly my achievement, okay? Fortunately, I found you in the back mountain of Xiao Clan that night, and happened to have the Sky Poison Pearl with me, otherwise… hmph.” Yun Che said with a look of indignation on his face.
Jasmine sneered and said disdainfully, "Humph, if you hadn't met me, you would have died at least eight hundred times, if not a thousand!"
“…” Yun Che was speechless.
“There is one more thing that I can tell you now.” Jasmine raised her face, which was even more delicate than the most exquisite porcelain doll, and said with a hint of pride, “When I claimed that I had sealed off my profound strength… it was actually a lie!”
Jasmine finished speaking, waiting for Yun Che to show an expression of shock, dazed eyes, or madness. However, after hearing what she said, Yun Che just looked at her silently, then nodded: “Oh, I know.”
"You knew?" Jasmine was the one who was surprised: "When did you know?"
“It was probably when I was on the Primordial Profound Ark.” Yun Che rested his hands behind his head, leaning against the ice wall, and said softly, “During the eighteen months when the Primordial Profound Ark was enduring the spatial storm, every time my body and spirit were about to reach the final critical point of collapse, the spatial storm would suddenly slow down, giving me a brief respite… For a full eighteen months, the time I could endure was increasing each time, but every time it slowed down when approaching the critical point, without exception.”
"During those eighteen months, all my energy was focused on survival. I couldn't spare a single thought for anything else. Later, when the space storm stopped, I thought back to those eighteen months and began to guess that you must have interfered with the space storm, because it's impossible for a coincidence to last for eighteen months. And you and I share one body, so you can clearly sense when I reached the critical point of collapse."
“…Then why didn’t you point it out?” Jasmine looked at Yun Che in surprise. It was her interference that caused the spatial storm. The fact that the Primordial Profound Ark would eventually stop in the Illusory Demon Realm was also caused by her interference with the trajectory of the Primordial Profound Ark. “You encountered the Ming King in the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, were forced into a desperate situation, and even almost died at the hands of the Ming King. It seems that you have never thought of borrowing my power!”
"Because I know your intention in doing this is to prevent me from becoming subconsciously dependent on you, which would seriously affect my growth. In addition... I am just guessing after all, and I have been trying to tell and hint to myself that it is just a guess, so that I must rely on myself and spare no effort in any situation, and dare not rely on you 'may not have the power to seal yourself' - it's that simple."
Jasmine: “…”
Jasmine’s cheeks puffed up slightly. Yun Che might not see her this cute and angry look once every two or three years. Just when he was about to tease her, he suddenly thought of something. His eyes froze, and his body bounced. His upper body almost threw itself directly in front of Jasmine, and he said anxiously, “Jasmine! All the devil poisons have been purified. Does that mean you can use your power at will? Quick... help me find out where the little fairy is! This is what you promised me at the beginning!”
