As Sheng Ning led his group forward, following the path he remembered, he spotted a familiar figure standing ahead of him from a great distance.
She stopped and snapped her fingers in mid-air, rendering all the talismans stuck to ordinary people ineffective.
Bai Ze, who was being held tightly by her arm, asked in confusion, "Why aren't you running anymore?"
We're almost at the exit.
Lu Qing'an, who hadn't yet put away the concealment talisman, spoke up, "We've been discovered."
Wuhu lahu, I don't know when it squatted there.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and, after seeing Sheng Ning and the others appear, he let out a cold snort.
"The Holy Maiden was right after all. You must have come in to rescue people. Luckily, I was careful and didn't get seduced."
The words "Wu Hu La Hu" made Sheng Ning frown slightly. "Holy Maiden? Doesn't the Demon Clan only have one Demon Lord? When did they get a Holy Maiden?"
The Demon Lord of the Demon Race was also mentioned in the original work.
As the female lead, Shi Yueyao's aura naturally couldn't attract only the Taixu Sect.
After using up Qin Chuan's cultivators, she found that her cultivation was stagnating.
So she gave up her cultivation and traveled the continent, hoping to break through her mental barriers.
Unfortunately, she encountered the Demon Lord undergoing tribulation in the maze. Taking advantage of his most vulnerable moment, she killed him and took his inner core.
By refining the Demon Lord's inner core, Shi Yueyao successfully advanced in rank.
Although Sheng Ning did not finish reading the entire text, she had read so much of it, and the text never mentioned a demon saintess.
After all, the Demon Lord is someone who seeks long-term sexual partners, but doesn't seek long-term sexual partners, and whose vigilance is always on high alert.
She never believed him when he claimed to be the Demon Lord's personal guard.
Wu Hula Hu noticed that she didn't show any fear on her face.
Instead, they began to doubt the Demon Saintess.
Enraged, his charred face was filled with fury, and before long, he spontaneously combusted.
However, he was already used to it, and his gaze toward Sheng Ning was cold. "You're about to die and you still have so many questions. Well, since you've asked so sincerely."
"Then I'll tell you, the Holy Maiden was picked up by the Demon Lord when he came down from the mountain a few days ago. Because the Holy Maiden looks... well... her cultivation is also... well..."
"In any case, the Demon Lord's thoughts are beyond the comprehension of you lowly minions!"
After listening to what Wu Hula had said, Jiang Nian looked him in the eye and asked, "Is your Holy Maiden surnamed Shi and named Yueyao?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing'an, whose figure was not visible to the side, felt his left eyelid twitch heavily.
He frowned, his gaze also falling on Wuhulahu.
The latter's charred face remained expressionless, but when Sheng Ning mentioned Shi Yueyao's name, he immediately roared angrily, "How dare you! Who gave you the audacity to give the Holy Maiden such a name!"
Not Shi Yueyao?
Sheng Ning looked at his angry and embarrassed appearance, and wondered what was going on.
She suddenly wanted to turn around and blend into Qin Chuan's group to see who this so-called saintess was.
"Why should I tell you so much? The Holy Maiden sent me to get rid of you. I originally thought that since the little beauty is delicate and soft, she should be gentle."
Wu Hula glanced at the woman and child behind Sheng Ning, a cold snort escaping his lips. "Now it seems I was too soft-hearted."
Flames erupted from his hands; though the firepower was small, its oppressive force was overwhelming.
As a cultivator with five elemental roots, Sheng Ning also possesses a fire elemental root.
Not long ago, after she entered the Demon Clan, the fire elemental root in her body jumped with extraordinary excitement.
As she unleashed her fire element, her fire spirit root became increasingly excited.
With a slight pursing of her lips, she took a deep breath and controlled her body to slowly absorb the active fire element around her.
Wu Hula wanted to take action immediately, but he found that no matter what he did, he couldn't gather enough fire element.
As soon as the flame in the palm of your hand gathers into a ball, a cool breeze will blow from all around.
With a 'poof', it blew out some of the fireball in his hand.
After several attempts, he could no longer even spontaneously combust; black smoke billowed from his body, his charred features contorted in agony. "Prepare to die!"
Sheng Ning was also surprised.
Ever since she reached the mid-to-late stage of Foundation Establishment, the spiritual energy absorbed by her spiritual root has been under her control.
As long as she doesn't over-absorb spiritual energy and doesn't exceed the limits her body can handle, the spiritual energy absorbed by her body will fall into her spiritual root.
It's simply because the spiritual power required by a five-elemental spiritual root is far, far greater than that required by an ordinary single-elemental spiritual root cultivator.
It has been a long time since the last advancement.
This time, she discovered that after absorbing the fire element from the surrounding area, her cultivation seemed to be on the verge of improvement.
However, now is not a good time to advance.
While absorbing fire elements, Sheng Ning also had to prevent his body from exploding due to excessive spiritual energy.
As Wuhulahu, unable to condense fire element, charged at her in a fit of rage, she instinctively waved her hand, and a fireball that appeared in her hand smashed straight into the top of his head.
Just as it had been charred and unable to catch fire due to the small flames, it was now ablaze all over again.
Sheng Ning, "This is..."
"You stole my fire elemental?!"
A voice filled with disbelief rang in my ears.
Sheng Ning, who had just unleashed a fireball, discovered that the excess fire element within him had now reached a new balance.
Excitement welled up in her eyes as she activated her fire elemental root. With a 'poof' sound, another fireball appeared in her palm.
It was larger and redder than the one that had condensed with a whooshing sound. In fact, because the fire elemental root was too pure, the fireball in Sheng Ning's palm had a faint dark red hue.
Wuhulahu, being a Golden Core cultivator, is also a demon.
He's always the one bullying humans.
They have never been bullied by humans like this before.
Enraged, he glanced at the flames that were almost burning his bones to ashes, and was about to charge forward again, shouting, "Damn humans, I'll kill you all!"
However, this time his target was not Sheng Ning, but the group of ordinary people behind Sheng Ning.
"ah--!!!"
When he saw Wuhu rushing towards the human race, Lu Qing'an immediately swung his fist and smashed it into his shoulder blade.
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, after he stopped Wu Hu La Hu, he heard a series of booming sounds coming from all around.
"Who is it that is disturbing my rest?"
The deep, resonant sound made the ground tremble.
Sheng Ning and his group then saw the rocks around them rolling.
Soon, a 'person' made of giant stone appeared before them.
It turns out that the demon race is not without people.
This is all a smokescreen, just waiting for them to fall into the trap.
Sheng Ning pursed her lips, glanced sideways at the woman who was clutching her child in pain, and when she looked up again, a long sword appeared in her hand.
"The Eight-Star Kunwu Sword? Who are you?"
The giant stone man immediately recognized the eight-star Kunwu sword in her hand. After making a sound of surprise, he stretched out a finger and touched the sword.
