Before long, the gray-robed man arrived at the Scorpion Palace in the eerie demon realm.
However, he did not go to the bottom floor, but instead came to the front of a closed hall on the top floor.
After hesitating for a long time, Poison Shadow cast a hand seal that disappeared into the gate in front of him.
After about half a cup of tea's time, the door emitted a dark red glow and slowly opened.
"Poison Shadow? Come in..."
A deep, magnetic female voice came from inside.
For the first time, Poison Shadow abandoned his gray robe, revealing a pale-faced middle-aged man as he stepped into the main hall.
Inside the hall, a long, scarlet carpet stretched from the entrance to the deep, dark end, its stillness tinged with a sense of menace. Along both sides of the carpet, every few steps, stood a bronze torch, its flames flickering, not the usual fiery golden yellow, but an eerie dark red, like congealed blood beads dancing in the darkness, casting the entire hall in a dim, ever-changing light.
Deep within the main hall, a towering platform stands majestically, upon which sits a jet-black throne inlaid with gold. Intricate patterns, resembling dragons and snakes, are carved upon it, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
At this moment, sitting on the throne was a beautiful young woman dressed in a black gauze dress.
The woman's face bore a striking resemblance to Mu Shuangshuang's, with dark makeup highlighting her deep eyes and slightly pursed lips. Her black gauze dress, as thin as mist, subtly revealed her graceful figure, her curves exquisite, as if meticulously sculpted by the devil. Beneath the gauze dress, a pair of long, shapely legs were elegantly crossed, encased in matte silk stockings, their delicate sheen adding to their mystery and allure under the glow of the dark red flames.
The air was filled with the rich fragrance of a mature woman, mingling with the scorching heat of the flames and the chill of the throne, creating a breathtakingly alluring atmosphere.
The beautiful woman's lips curled slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips as she looked down at the middle-aged man who hung his head, not daring to look up at her.
What has disturbed my seclusion?
"Miss..."
Poison Shadow raised his head slightly, but lowered it again the moment he saw the woman, his tone becoming somewhat stiff.
"I was invited by the young lady to Yunzhou, and I unexpectedly discovered that there is a sect in Yunzhou that uses an object called Evil Soul Blood Qi, which can drive demons into madness, and even demons at the Soul Control Realm can hardly resist it!"
"Evil spirit blood energy? Driving demons mad? I've never heard of that before. Tell me more!"
Du Ying nodded and then recounted everything he had seen and heard in Yunzhou.
This includes Shen Yunhao's ability to use the Vast Ocean Heart to break the control of the evil soul's blood energy over the demon race.
“At first, I didn’t take it too seriously, but when I returned today, I discovered that this evil blood energy has appeared in the Yue Dynasty near the Dark Demon Realm. Hongyu was infected by the blood energy and slaughtered a village within the Yue Dynasty’s territory. This matter is extremely unfavorable for us!”
Upon hearing this, the woman on the throne frowned and rubbed her temples with two fingers.
"Blood Sect, Poison Old Ghost... what a troublesome bunch of old guys. Let's issue the order that no demon clan member may leave the mountain unless it's absolutely necessary. I will personally go out and investigate this matter."
Upon hearing this, the man below was startled. "But Miss, if we give up our seclusion now, won't that delay our cultivation and miss this crucial opportunity?"
"If breaking through to the late stage of Void Realm were so easy, so many powerful figures wouldn't have perished here throughout history. I feel like... I'm missing something."
At this moment, the woman looked at the man below the stage with a playful expression: "Little Shadow... what do you think? What am I missing?"
"Miss is of noble birth, how dare I make such a wild guess! I beg you to retract your words, I am deeply apprehensive!"
The man kept his head down, and the panic on his face seemed completely genuine.
The woman stared at him blankly for a long time, then finally shook her head. "Boring... Where's Shuangshuang? Is she still in seclusion?"
"Hongyu has been infected by the evil spirit's blood energy. The young lady has already taken her to Yunzhou to find the young man with the Heart of the Vast Ocean for treatment."
"That brat, she's really eager to offer herself up for us to eat! Oh well, it's rare to find an interesting little boy, let her play a little longer... Poison Shadow, what do you think of this little boy after spending time with him?"
"His judgment and decision-making are quite good. He is never timid or hesitant, and his temperament is acceptable. However, he is somewhat sentimental. When it comes to matters of the heart, he is too indecisive and easily hurts himself and others."
Poison Shadow thought for a moment, then continued, "Although this boy is promiscuous, he is also loyal. If the young lady has chosen him, he is much more reliable than those scum of the Demonic Sect!"
"Promiscuity?" The woman seemed intrigued, a smile playing on her lips. "How so? Tell me about it."
"Besides his rumored close relationship with the disciples of Guanghan Palace and the Princess of Beihai, he has recently become very close to a fox demon, who may come from the Demon Emperor's Palace!"
"Oh? So... he's managed to gather all the demonic sects, the demon race, the righteous path, and the sea race? I'm becoming more and more interested in this little brat. I'll have to see for myself another day what he's got that makes Shuangshuang so infatuated..."
"The husband that the young lady has chosen must indeed be inspected by the young lady herself!"
However, upon hearing this, the woman smiled slightly with her eyes narrowed.
"Poison Shadow, you've followed me for so many years, don't you know that my clan... has no real mates? They're just food for producing offspring..."
"..."
"Furthermore, I have no interest in who Shuangshuang has found. Even if he brought back a beggar, I wouldn't bother with him! I just feel that a little guy like him, who embodies the power of the world, shouldn't be an ordinary person. If Shuangshuang eats him in the future, will it cause any trouble...? If possible, it's fine if we don't eat him in the future..."
...
Meanwhile, Shen Yunhao, hiding behind Ning Yuyao, sneaked into the small mountain villa in the northern part of Tianshan.
As a man, he naturally couldn't just openly wander around the Tianshan Mountains. If he were seen by someone from the Enforcement Hall, he would be in big trouble...
It wasn't until he left the outer gate of Guanghan Palace that Shen Yunhao felt a little safe, no longer constantly worried about being killed.
"Yao'er, is anyone living in Lan Xiaofeng right now? If no one is, I'll go back to Lan Xiaofeng later."
"Don't worry, Brother Yunhao. Master personally chose this cave dwelling for you, so naturally he won't leave it to anyone else!"
If Shen Yunhao wanted to meet Master Lingyue, he naturally couldn't go up the mountain himself; he could only ask the senior sister here to inform her.
Shen Yunhao has been studying here for half a year, and everyone knows him, so it's quite convenient to find him.
Not long after, a disciple came out and called to him, "The Master has arrived. Please come in and have a chat, Junior Brother."
"Yao'er, wait here for me, I'll be right back."
Ning Yuyao frowned. "What, can't I go see Master Lingyue?"
"..."
Of course you can meet, as long as the two of you don't start fighting...
