The tiny phoenix flame even let out a particularly irritating burp, and its entire fiery body visibly swelled up.
With a sigh as if savoring the memory, the phoenix flame abandoned Lu Chu and flew back to Shushu's side, happily circling around her.
As it spins around, it changes into different shapes, visibly showing off, as if it's asking for credit.
Seeing this, Shushu sensed the little creature's thoughts through the contract, smiled, and gently touched it with her fingertip, handing it a fire spirit crystal as a reward.
Then, she turned her gaze back to the black charcoal lying face down on the ground, looking as if it were dead.
He gathered spiritual energy at his fingertips and flipped the man over, finally seeing his current appearance. The original black charcoal had completely changed.
Upon closer inspection, Shushu discovered that Lu Chu's original appearance, apart from his phoenix eyes symbolizing the phoenix clan, which bore a slight resemblance to Lu Li, was completely unrecognizable.
Most importantly, if we were to rate this person's appearance, they wouldn't even reach half of Lu Li's, and they completely lack Lu Li's temperament.
Shushu pouted. At this moment, she even had a thought that the reason this person had transformed into her senior brother's appearance was actually because he was jealous and envious of her senior brother's looks.
Shaking his head to shake off this sudden, unreliable idea, Shushu didn't forget to etch the person's appearance deeply into his mind.
She made up her mind. From now on, she would also use Lu Chu's appearance and identity to cause trouble everywhere, make him hate her, and give him endless trouble, so that he could taste what it's like.
However, these are things to be done later. The most urgent task is to interrogate this person as soon as possible to find out what despicable things he has done in the Azure Demon Realm.
Without hesitation, Shushu quickly found the storage ring given to her by her second martial uncle.
He pulled out a pill called 'True Word Pill' from his storage ring, pried open Lu Chu's mouth, and forced it down his throat.
After thinking about it, worried that the person might kick the bucket halfway through and miss some information, Shushu also slipped a life-saving pill into his mouth.
The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and soon Lu Chu slowly woke up. However, at this moment, he was no different from a cripple.
Lu Chu had clearly realized his situation as well. His gaze toward Shushu was filled with fierceness and endless hatred. He immediately said, "You bitch, ah."
Before Lu Chu could finish saying the word "human," he was burned again by the phoenix flames beside Shushu, and his words were instantly silenced. His mouth opened and closed, but he dared not scold Shushu anymore.
Seeing that he had finally calmed down, Shushu clapped his hands happily and stepped aside, letting Cheng Ying and the other big shots interrogate him themselves.
After all, this is a matter for their Azure Demon Realm, and they know better how to ask and what to ask.
Cheng Ying and the others were also efficient. None of them made excuses. They stepped forward quickly and began the interrogation. Before long, they had extracted a lot of clues from Lu Chu's mouth.
Not only that, but worried that he might play tricks, after some questioning, the group decided to be on the safe side and search his soul together, recording everything with a recording stone.
This series of actions naturally clarified the whole story.
It turns out that the Lu Chu in front of him was indeed an avatar, a clone separated from the main Lu Chu, who came to the Azure Demon Realm to plunder the Azure Demon Realm's fortune.
The reason he chose to come to the Azure Demon Realm was because Qu Rumei accidentally and in a daze obtained the special mental cultivation method left behind by Hu Ling before his ascension, and happened to contact the original body.
Hu Ling had no reason not to take a bite of the easy prey that was offered to him.
Furthermore, through Qu Rumei's description, Hu Ling also learned that the Azure Demon Realm had developed very well in recent years, and there were many demons with strong fortune.
He needed a lot of good fortune, and naturally he was very tempted by it.
Furthermore, as it was his birthplace, Hu Ling felt it was perfectly reasonable for him to take away this fortune, and there was no pang of conscience on his part.
Hu Ling originally planned to return on his own, but because his master was nurturing Wen Jianxi, a substitute body, on the Rainy Continent, he had already sent out a clone to protect her.
Not only is it unrealistic to split his body into two clones in a short period of time, but it would also cause enormous damage to his main body. He himself was not really willing to sacrifice himself and go all out.
Therefore, Hu Ling came up with a good idea: to contact the Phoenix Clan, who had just submitted to them in Dawei Realm, and ask the Phoenix Clan to come to Qingmo Realm to take charge of this matter.
He, however, was controlling the Phoenix Clan from behind the scenes, so it couldn't be said that the mission had been abandoned.
Like Hu Ling, the Phoenix Clan, although they accepted the mission, still held back, not wanting to end up trapped in the Demon Realm. That's why Lu Chu sent an avatar.
To be honest, Lu Chu's methods and schemes were not very sophisticated; in fact, they were quite naive.
However, he had the strange and wonderful things provided by Hu Ling, such as immortal artifacts, spirit-suppressing powder, sky-covering leaves, and ancient formations.
Secondly, he had always chosen inconspicuous people, and once they had fully grown up, he would control them, like raising a Gu poison, keeping them by his side to absorb their fortune little by little.
Because of this caution and prudence, he was able to remain hidden in the Azure Demon Realm for many years without being discovered, and lived peacefully all this time.
His subsequent years of success may have made him complacent and a bit arrogant. He inevitably took bigger steps, setting increasingly ambitious goals and selecting more and more people.
With a large number of people, the flow of fortune naturally increased. Although there was the cover of the Sky-Covering Leaf and multiple arrays, Mo Xin still noticed the abnormality, which led to everything that followed.
