Chapter 39
"Oh--"
"What a mess! Someone actually broke my distraction and I ran back like a stray dog."
Xiong Li: "I'm in a mess, but you haven't gotten anything either, okay? Don't think I don't know. The noise you're making raising the magic beads has already attracted the attention of those people from the Guiyuan Sect. You're worried that it will eventually attract that old guy Xingxuan, so you specifically leaked the news to me, hoping that I would take the blame for you in front of those yes-men."
At this point, Xunli smiled coquettishly, "Every cultivator on the continent knows that you like to use real people to choreograph your plays. Are you trying to put the blame on me? Hehehe~"
"Why don't you just frame everything on the Demon Lord in the Demon Realm?" Xunli twirled a strand of hair. "After all, I heard he's just like you, able to control the bodies and minds of humans and demons, corpses and souls, everything. He's much more powerful than you."
Otherwise, how could he have the courage to issue a region-wide decree to bring all five demons under his command?
The corpse demon Minglian watched silently, and no matter how many charm spells Xunli cast on him, there was no change at all. He did not react at all when Xunli mocked him, saying that he could not even keep his title of corpse demon and that it would soon be snatched away by the new demon lord.
Xunli was not very surprised that the corpse demon didn't say a word. He said this without expecting any response from the other party.
"Ah la~ Unlike you, a dummy who gets nothing out of nothing, I gained a lot this time~"
As if savoring something delicious, Xunli's seductive eyes narrowed into a long smile, her face flushed, and her trembling fingertips stroked her face from bottom to top, revealing her owner's fanatical excitement, "I've met a very interesting little beauty who is a thousand times my favorite~"
"Ahahaha~ It's completely different from those low-quality goods in the past~ Just looking at it makes me feel like I'm going crazy~" His fingertips traced the cracked and twisted corners of his mouth, and the tip of his tongue licked it lightly, and a morbid gasp of pleasure escaped from his throat, "Ahhh~ This time~ it's an incredible little beauty~"
Everyone thought that the little beauty was a serious swordsman who followed the path of immortality, but he could see that the little beauty's true nature deep down was the same as theirs!
As for the fact that Demon Lord Fu Ming wanted to subdue him?
Compared with the little beauty, of course the most important thing is to pull the little beauty into the Demon Realm!
What is the Demon Lord?
-
Demonic Realm, Heavenly Desire Palace.
Red gauze was hanging, and the light shining through the gauze added a bit of dimness to the entire hall.
"The puppet... is it actually a collaboration between a corpse demon and a succubus?" In the main hall, a female cultivator with a fierce aura lay on the throne. "Waste!"
The strong gale blew across the cheeks of the two people kneeling on the ground, leaving several bloody marks.
Ban Meng and Yun Manman lowered their heads and listened to the scolding and punishment from above, scratching their flesh with their nails, hanging their heads and not daring to speak.
However, not long after, someone came to report that someone had arrived from the Demon Realm, and he was an envoy from the Demon Lord's seat.
Yun Manman couldn't help but look up in surprise and exchanged a glance with Ban Meng. Is this true?
It's no wonder that they first reacted with doubt. After all, the two young monks from Guiyuan Sect in "Yongshu Township" used this identity full of loopholes to scare them.
Now thinking back, this is also the reason why they had to go into the Desire Pool to receive punishment.
He was just the Demon Lord's messenger. They had seen the Demon Lord Yan Yan from afar before. They, the Tianyu Palace, were able to fight him and there was nothing to be afraid of.
This time, the new Demon Lord was able to quickly conquer the Demon Realm by defeating the eight gates one by one. If the eight gates could unite with each other, it might not be impossible for them to seriously injure and kill the new Demon Lord.
Ban Meng knew that there were many demon cultivators in the Eight Sects who did not submit to the Demon Lord, and who knew how many people were secretly plotting behind the scenes.
The palace door opened, and the cold wind blew up the hanging red gauze. A demon cultivator wearing black clothes and a black hat walked in slowly with a strong demonic aura.
This enormous magical power can be seen at a glance that the person's cultivation is unfathomable, and he is definitely a powerful being above the Spirit Transformation Stage.
"Why is the envoy here?" The Palace Master of Tianyu Palace pretended to be surprised and stood up, his black hair cascading down like a waterfall and his face pale.
"Ahem, the presence of the envoy is truly an honor to our humble Tianyu Palace. Please forgive me for not being able to come down to greet you as my injuries have not yet healed."
Yun Manman and Ban Meng were stunned. The Palace Master’s injuries from the Demon Lord haven’t healed yet?
"The Demon Spirit Dao's envoys, Caiwei, have always had a discerning eye. The beauties they select for His Majesty are bound to be stunning. My Tianyu Palace is indeed not as skilled as the Demon Spirit Dao in this matter, and cannot better assist His Majesty. Alas, I'm not afraid of being ridiculed by the envoys. My disciples are so foolish that they were fooled around by a few young disciples of the Guiyuan Sect in a small secret realm. How can such a dull mind be worthy of the Demon Lord's attention?"
The black-hatted messenger spit at the person above him. He immediately understood what the Palace Master of Tianyu Palace meant. Wasn't he just afraid that one of his people would be favored by His Majesty?
If he were to say, Tianyu Palace really overestimated its disciples.
He glanced disdainfully at the two kneeling figures, "How could His Majesty be interested in such vulgar women like you! Those from the Immortal Sect... are the treasures His Majesty wishes to bring into the Demon Palace."
Are you kidding? His Lord has a clear goal. He is interested in those righteous monks in the immortal sect. These mundane things are like weeds on the roadside. His Lord probably won't even look at them.
but...
"The envoy of picking wild vegetables?"
*
"You have indeed calculated my weakness accurately." Master Baili glanced at the people surrounding them. He was slightly frightened in his heart but his expression did not show it. It was not just the Demon Spirit.
Wouldn't that make it easy for the enemy to target them? Jiang Wan couldn't help but put herself in Master Baili's shoes and felt that the shortcomings of this ability to switch demonic auras were tricky.
Chu Yingluo shook her head and explained for Jiang Wan: "After all, anyone who knows Brother Baili's weaknesses will know them, whether they are from other immortal sects or demon sects."
"However, do you think you can keep us here just by relying on the 'Heavenly Phantom Killing Formation'?" Master Baili quickly distributed the things in his hand to everyone.
Because Jiang Wan was filled with resentment when she took it, Master Baili thought that this little sister was afraid, and he even sent a special message to comfort Jiang Wan.
If other people knew what Master Baili was thinking, they would definitely think he was blind and stupid. This was the one who dared to challenge the succubus and the demon cultivator behind the scenes in person in the secret realm.
Afraid? Is this how the sword cultivators of Guiyuan Sect lie with their eyes open? Haha.
Jiang Wan, who was not comforted at all, felt a chill in his body. He turned his head with a depressed look at the barrier around him that seemed to be covered with a layer of black cloth.
Killing formation?
Jiang Wan wasn’t really curious about this right now, she just wanted to know what the “Demon Lord’s Order” was all about!!!
After hearing Master Baili call out the name of the formation, Chu Yingluo and You Sheng were no longer panicked, and a rare smile appeared on their faces.
"You should know that the best way to defeat demons is to use pure thunder magic."
“Boom boom boom—”
The familiar lightning flashed across the sky again, splitting the barrier.
"boom--"
As thunder roared, the number of human-shaped charcoal figures on the ground gradually increased.
Jiang Wan's eyes widened: "What a thunderbolt..."
This is also possible! ! ?
"There's nothing we can do. After all, everyone knows that Senior Brother Baili has a bad temper and is easily possessed by demons. Fortunately, Senior Brother Baili has a lightning spirit root. In order to restrain this inner demon, Xie Jianzun thought of countless ways. Later, he asked the ancestor for help, and only then did he develop a set of thunder magic that is suitable and unique for Senior Brother Baili."
Going back and forth between the devil and the devil is also amazing...
"This is still considered good. When Senior Brother Baili was still at Songding Peak, he was possessed by the devil from time to time. In order to control his evil nature, he could only use lightning to strike himself. That's why there was a thundercloud above his head, and he was struck wherever he went." You Sheng has a lot to say about this, as he was once accidentally struck by lightning at Songding Peak.
You know, at that time, Master Baili's smooth and flowing movement of being struck by lightning stunned everyone on and off Songding Peak.
"This is also the reason why Fifth Senior Brother has been wandering outside the sect all year round and never returning to the sect."
So the question is, this Senior Brother Baili looks like a cool and elegant swordsman...
Jiang Wan was curious: "Why is he so bad-tempered?"
The air fell silent for a moment.
Master Baili quickly dealt with the demon cultivators who were besieging them, and the corpses of "human-shaped charcoal" were scattered all over the ground.
Wu Hualin had already fled at full speed when Master Baili had broken through the killing array. He hadn't come here on his own initiative in the first place, and since even the "Murderous Illusion Killing Array" couldn't do anything to Master Baili...
Oh, he couldn't win, so he should hurry back and report to his master.
After everyone at the scene had cleared out, Master Baili took out the cloud boat and prepared to send Chu Yingluo and the others back to the sect and ask them to pass on the news.
But how could Jiang Wan be willing to return to Yuanzong just like that? You know, before she figured out the matter of "Demon Lord's Order", she didn't want to return to Yuanzong at all.
Jiang Wan tried to find an excuse to slip away from Master Baili. She also pulled Lin Xubai's sleeve and shook it gently.
"Oh, with Senior Brother Baili's cloud boat here, it will be much easier to go back!"
Lin Xubai was the first to respond to Master Baili. He took two steps at a time and walked towards the cloud boat.
As for Jiang Wan’s hint?
Just pretend that he didn't notice. He has been out for long enough this time and he doesn't want to be assigned a strange identity again.
Just as Lin Xubai was about to step on it, he suddenly felt his neck tighten and his whole body was pulled by a force.
Jiang Wan hadn't known when she stepped on a stone that Gu Yun had placed under his feet, and what she was holding in her hand was the back of his collar.
Her expression was cold, her whole body was stretched straight, and she stared at him like a cool cat with its fur standing on end.
Lin Xubai was stunned.
——Everything changes with time.
The person who always got grabbed by the back of the neck by him actually took the initiative to let him experience the feeling of being grabbed by the back of the neck.
"Junior Sister Jiang?" Lin Xubai pretended to be stupid and made a move to move forward.
Then he could clearly feel that the force behind him was getting stronger. Helplessly, he raised his head slightly and turned to look.
Those bright black eyes were filled with annoyance at the moment. Even though she was struggling due to her lack of height, she still held him tightly and refused to let go. It was obvious that she was very angry.
The smile in Lin Xubai's eyes deepened, and he suddenly took a step back.
"Lin, Xu, Bai--" Jiang Wan lost her balance and fell off the stone, but she still did not let go.
What could Lin Xubai do? He had to turn around and catch Jiang Wan.
Somehow Jiang Wan happened to fall into his arms.
Jiang Wan was so angry that her ears turned red. She tugged at Lin Xubai's collar with all her strength, "You did it on purpose!"
The number of people who inexplicably felt full increased from four to five.
New personnel: Master Baili: "......"
Don't make him look like a heartless swordsman who breaks up a couple in love!
Ah, speaking of which, the senior brother also suggested that he practice the ruthless way...
"Boom—"
"Brother Baili/Fifth! Calm down! Quick! Qingxin Jue! Control yourself——"
——From the flustered Chu Yingluo and You Sheng.
The intelligence dealer Bai Qingqing rolled his eyes, threw out a jade slip, and wrote furiously while muttering to himself!
—
"Tahuahe City, one of the five steps and six outside."
"It's said that the Demon Lord is in Tahua River City right now. No cultivators other than demon cultivators are allowed to enter," Bai Qingqing reverently told Jiang Wan. "You must not let anyone notice that you're not demon cultivators in Tahua River City. It's very difficult for me to obtain this disguised identity!"
"Don't worry! It's easy to practice magic!" Jiang Wan waved his hand nonchalantly, not taking it to heart at all, which made Bai Qingqing speechless.
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Bai. Right now, whether it's the demon cultivators or the local cultivators in Tahuahe City, their attention is all on the Demon Lord. No one will pay attention to the extra demon cultivators in the city." Lin Xubai, "Besides, don't we have a true demon cultivator?"
Bai Qingqing looked at Gu Yun who remained silent the whole time, sighed in her heart and shook her head.
No wonder you two can walk together, you are so generous.
There was a commotion in the street.
A woman dressed in luxurious clothes and covered in magical weapons strode proudly in the middle of the street.
Behind her were more than ten guards, who were roughly restraining several disheveled women, tilting their heads upwards, exposing their bruised and purple jaws, and dragging them in front of the woman in fine clothes like goods for her to examine.
The women shook their hands in disgust, as if the other party was something dirty, and immediately these women were dragged away by the guards.
The guards were rude and violent in their actions. Not only did they break many stalls, they also injured many people.
Suddenly, a little girl of five or six years old was so frightened that she accidentally fell to the ground. She happened to be next to the female cultivator, a few steps away, so close that she didn't even touch her sleeve, but was kicked away by the female cultivator in disgust.
"Bang——"
The thin girl's body knocked over the tea stall, and the boiling water poured on the back of the girl's head and flowed down from her forehead.
Heart-wrenching cries rose along with the steaming heat.
"Miss, please calm down!" The tea stall owner knelt down in front of the female monk, apologizing and kowtowing, begging for forgiveness.
The woman behind him covered her mouth, stifling the sound of her crying in her throat, and hugged the little girl tremblingly.
"What the hell are you doing? You've stained my new dress!" The female cultivator looked at the three people with disgust, her chin held high like a delicate peacock. Finally, she glanced at the tip of her shoe impatiently. "Forget it, he's still waiting for me in the mansion. You're lucky today, otherwise I wouldn't let it go like this."
The rest of the injured people not only got up on their own, but also apologized repeatedly.
"Who is this person?" Jiang Wan frowned, "So arrogant and domineering."
Bai Qingqing: "Wang Qianya, the daughter of the mayor of Tahuahe City."
The moment she heard the name, Gu Yun's pupils suddenly shrank into vertical lines. She stared at Wang Qianya, her hands unconsciously forming seals, and the gravel on the ground condensed and hung in the air.
Lin Xubai glanced at the rubble floating on the ground and looked at Gu Yun thoughtfully.
"Most of them are Qi Refining Stage scabbys, and the leader is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. 500 Spirit Stones will cover their life stories and weaknesses. If you place an order now, you'll also receive a free patrol team rotation route~"
As he spoke, he shook the photo stone in his hand.
Jiang Wan: “…”
Do I look like someone who would pay for this kind of information?
"No, I'm not seeing things." Jiang Wan rushed to a male cultivator who was injured but didn't dare to resist. "You're obviously capable of fighting with your cultivation level, so why didn't you resist?"
Not only him, there are several others whose cultivation is obviously higher than that young lady and her guards. Why do they just let them bully them? Is it just because she is the daughter of the city lord?
The male cultivator shrank back, lowering his head: "She... is the girl of destiny..."
In the city of Tahua River, there is a prophecy circulating: a world-destroying flood is coming, and only the girl of destiny can save the people.
The city lord's daughter [Wang Qianya] is the "daughter of destiny" in the prophecy. As expected, even though she is domineering and oppresses the people of Tahuahe City, the people can only swallow their anger, for fear of angering the "savior" and making her unhappy and abandoning her.
"I seem to..." Gu Yun suddenly covered her head and looked up at the city gate in the distance, "So familiar..."
"What?" Jiang Wan didn't hear clearly, but Gu Yun's expression looked very wrong at the moment.
The male cultivator thought Jiang Wan was talking to him, so he hesitated and finally told the news that made the whole city panic.
The Shura Demon Lord who unified the Demon Realm sealed off the Tahua River City—
"Hand over [Wang Qianya], otherwise, in five days, the entire Tahuahe City will be massacred."
