Chapter 292 Refining the Spiritual Power Pearl Again
Half an hour later, both parties arrived at the agreed place.
The ghost blood vines twisted into a cold throne, and Gao Huohuo leaned on it.
When Wen Hu and the Crow Demon arrived, Lou Chongxiao was respectfully pouring tea beside the throne, and Baili Chen was standing there with a sword in his hand, looking like the most loyal servant.
"Your Highness?" The two demons stared at her unfamiliar face in confusion, but fell to their knees the moment they saw the ghost blood vine.
The vicious vine that once massacred the demon village was now rubbing the girl's fingertips affectionately.
Wen Hu and the Crow Demon hurriedly saluted, "Your Highness, it has been a few months since we last met. Your cultivation has already reached the Mahayana stage. You are truly worthy of being the Princess of Wood Spirit!"
Gao Huohuo sat on the throne and waved his hand casually:
"It's not worth mentioning. It's just the fusion of the clone."
She opened her red lips slightly and spoke slowly.
"I called you here today to ask the Blood Demon Society if they are interested in replacing the Demon King?"
The jade slip in Wenhu's hand fell to the ground with a "clack". The crow demon's eyes widened suddenly, and several feathers on its wings exploded.
What Princess Mu Ling showed to others before was actually just a clone!
Before they could recover from their shock, they heard those earth-shattering words.
Changing the Demon King? This casual tone made it seem as if they were discussing what dish to change for dinner today.
Wenhu's legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
In the demon clan, such remarks are a serious crime that will implicate all nine clans!
He secretly raised his eyes and saw that the girl on the throne had an indifferent expression.
A strand of ghost blood vine was wrapped around her fingertips, moving around her snow-white wrist like a poisonous snake ready to strike.
Wen Hu's Adam's apple rolled and cold sweat soaked his back.
The Demon Emperor just announced to the world that he wanted to marry the princess the day before yesterday, and today the princess wants to kill the king?
This is not a negotiation, it's clearly a death warrant!
"Your Highness, the matter of the Demon King is too serious. I need to go back and report to the President."
"Of course, just give me your answer in three days."
Gao Huohuo suddenly leaned over, and the moonlight shattered into ice in her eyes.
"But I have to remind you that when I crushed Yaoye's heart today..."
She clenched her fingers lightly, "But you swore to kill everyone who has anything to do with me."
The night wind blew through the dead leaves, and the two monsters trembled like sieves.
They finally understood the hidden meaning - either join forces to kill the king, or wait to be silenced by the Demon King.
After Wenhu and the other man completely disappeared into the night, Gao Huohuo turned around and said to everyone:
"I plan to return to the demon clan's time formation." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a series of objections.
"no!"
"Absolutely not!"
"Little Junior Sister, are you crazy?"
Zhong Hanshang even took a step forward and grabbed her wrist tightly.
When he realized that everyone was looking at him, Zhong Hanshang slowly let go of his hand.
Gao Huohuo sighed softly, and waited until everyone calmed down before slowly explaining the reason.
"That magic circle is no longer a threat to me. Instead, it can help us practice."
She glanced at everyone's worried faces, "Two months in the outside world, thirty years in the formation—this is the best opportunity."
What she didn't say was that the incident with the Demon King made her see the approaching crisis.
Enemies in the Tribulation Crossing Stage are already so difficult to deal with, and if a stronger opponent comes... thinking of this, she quietly clenched her hands in her sleeves.
Everyone fell silent.
They all understood the rationality of this proposal, but they knew even more clearly what the magic circle meant to their junior sister.
Buried there are her most painful memories, and the source of her murderous intent towards Zhong Hanshang and Ying.
Going back now would be like opening her scars again.
"Ying, lead the way!" Gao Huohuo finally broke the silence.
"By the way, I will collect some natural treasures along the way. I'll have to trouble Seventh Senior Sister to make some elixirs for you."
Lou Chongxiao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Little Junior Sister, do you still remember the Spiritual Power Pearls? The ones you refined in the past are better than any other elixir..."
"And the magic beads." Ying added softly, but fell silent when he met Gao Huohuo's suddenly cold gaze.
Ying grumbled inwardly with dissatisfaction: This is taken for granted when they use him, but when he makes a request, they treat him coldly.
"I'll try." She turned and walked towards the training room. The moment she closed the door, the system interface unfolded in her mind.
Yao Ye and Chen Wanzhen’s names were highlighted. One is the Demon King, and the other is the Holy Maiden of Liuli Sect. Let me try it on you two.
As for the magic beads? She sneered and swiped her fingertips across the system interface.
As for the magic cultivators, let’s wait a little longer.
————————
At dawn, the Human Alliance headquarters was in chaos.
Chen Wanzhen, the Holy Maiden of Liuli Sect, had a pale face and her spiritual energy was disordered. Her aura, which was originally as clear and cold as the bright moon, was now as weak as a candle in the wind.
She forced herself to sit in the center of the hall, surrounded by elders from various factions, each with a different expression.
"The Saint was ambushed last night, her cultivation level plummeted, and her essence was damaged!"
An elder of the Liuli Sect spoke in a trembling voice, his eyes filled with rage.
"Tomorrow is the Alliance Leader Succession Ceremony. This is absolutely no coincidence!"
There was an uproar in the hall.
"Could it be the work of the Kunlun Sect? They were determined to get the position of leader before!"
"Bullshit! My Kunlun Sect acts in an upright and honest manner. How could we do such a despicable thing?"
The elder of Kunlun Sect slammed the table in anger and swore an oath to the sky.
"If this matter is related to our sect, I will punish you with the will of Heaven!"
As soon as the Heavenly Dao Oath was uttered, everyone fell silent.
Chen Wanzhen dug her fingertips deep into her palms and swept her cold eyes over everyone present.
She knew it better than anyone else - she had experienced this method of silently devouring the origin once before.
I thought her injury should have healed long ago after that incident, but I didn't expect it to break out at this time.
It can be seen that the person at that time had been hiding in the alliance and was very familiar with her whereabouts.
This forced Chen Wanzhen to turn her attention to her own Liuli Sect.
"Zou Yue..."
She silently repeated the name in her mind, but had to suppress her doubts.
After all, Zou Yue had also been affected in the past, and his cultivation had stagnated since then.
But if it wasn't her, who could it be?
Inside the Liuli Sect, the disciples were whispering to each other.
"I heard that the Saint's essence seemed to have been forcibly drained away by something..."
"Hush! Be careful! It's said that Elder Zou did the same thing back then, and the murderer hasn't been found yet..."
————————
Inside the Demon King's palace, Yao Ye smashed the jade table with one palm, murderous intent boiling in his eyes.
"Investigate! Who approached my bedroom last night?"
The guards in the hall knelt on the ground trembling with fear, and no one dared to look up.
The Demon King's aura was much weaker than yesterday, and even the pressure of the Tribulation Period became unstable.
"Your Majesty, your cultivation..."
A trusted demon dared to speak, but stopped abruptly when he met Yao Ye's scarlet eyes.
"The emperor is fine!" Yao Ye shouted, but his fingers in his sleeves trembled slightly.
Originally, Yao Ye didn’t care about the destruction of his previous clone. At most, he could just refine a new one.
But in just one night, nearly 30% of the demonic power in his body was inexplicably lost!
If he had not swallowed the treasured "Nine-turn Blood Ganoderma" in time, he would have fallen back to the Mahayana stage by now.
