At this moment, Shen Sanruo was sitting cross-legged, "enslaving" Xiao Hei, letting it purify the demonic energy, and trying to cultivate with the demonic energy.
Sensing two unfamiliar presences, he immediately became alert.
She wanted to send a message to the Azure Phoenix Fairy next door, but found that the other party had set up a barrier around her room, preventing her from sending messages using her spiritual power.
It was very quiet. The other party moved like a ghost, without making a sound, and even the Azure Phoenix Fairy did not notice anything unusual.
The opponent's strength is clearly above that of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
The conservative demonic cultivators above the early Nascent Soul stage have been exceptionally busy lately and have no time for her. Even if they wanted to see her, they wouldn't need to be so secretive.
Shang Qing and Shi Yi were both dissatisfied with her, but with Qing Luan Xian Ji present, they dared not do anything to her.
In conclusion, Shen Sanruo felt that the other party was not a conservative.
She was slightly surprised to come to this conclusion; the radicals were so bold as to dare to cross the line and infiltrate the territory of the conservatives.
Her blatant disregard for conservatives suggests that their situation is worse than she imagined.
She was curious about what exactly the radicals had gained that would allow them to break the balance that the two factions had maintained for so many years.
Could it be related to the system?
She kept these questions to herself for the time being, preparing to deal with the two men who had sneaked into her room.
Although she appears to be alone, she is actually accompanied by the Kui Niu, the Snake Woman, and the Dodder Flower Fairy, and the Little Koi's good fortune can also play a role.
After she broke through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, she finally accepted the dodder flower fairy, an "unofficial member," into her contracted beast after its persistent requests, including tantrums and pleading.
If she were to face off against both sides, she wouldn't panic; however, she didn't want to reveal her hand too early.
So she decided to wait and see, and first figure out the other party's intentions.
For some reason, she had a strange feeling that the people who came might be Shi Mu and Wan Quan from that day.
After all, only these two great demons had ever had contact with her, and there was also Shi Mu's ambiguous winking at her.
If it really is them, she would probably know the reason for Shi Mu's actions very soon.
She sat cross-legged, closed her eyes slightly, and pretended not to have noticed the other person, waiting for the other person to make the first move.
Shi Mu and Wan Quan tiptoed around, thinking they were facing the Cliff Demon Lord from ten thousand years ago, and dared not even breathe.
The room wasn't big, and after walking only a few steps, beads of sweat had already formed on their foreheads and palms. They were both nervous and excited.
Moreover, fearing to offend their Demon Lord, they dared not use their divine sense to investigate Shen Sangruo's situation.
They could only vaguely sense that she was still sitting still, not even bothering to lift her eyelids to look at them.
The two of them became even more excited.
This is so demonic!
As expected of the Demon Lord, he must have realized it was them long ago. He is so calm and composed, as if he has the world in his hands.
The Demon Lord is still the same powerful Demon Lord as before!
Shi Mu clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind that he would follow the Demon Lord to the death.
The room was separated by a barrier, so the two of them didn't need to deliberately keep their voices down. They were only being so careful for fear of upsetting Shen Sangri.
Shen Sanruo sensed the two approaching her, and then stopped about a meter away from her, indicating that they were about to make their move.
She communicated with the several demonic beasts in her sea of consciousness and prepared for battle.
Unexpectedly, the two of them respectfully clasped their hands and knelt down the next moment, their knees hitting the floor with a crisp sound that echoed in the room.
He addressed her with imposing authority: "We pay our respects to the Demon Lord! We welcome the Demon Lord's return!"
He appeared to be extremely loyal.
Chen Sangruo: ? ? ?
What the hell? Lord Demon Lord?
There was a moment of silence in the room, and before that awkwardness could spread, Chen Sanruo opened her eyes.
He addressed the two men with a serious and earnest expression:
"Yes, that's me."
After a brief moment of confusion, she immediately realized what was going on.
The main problem was that the little black creature inside her was too active. It manifested as arms from black mist, stood with its hands on its hips, and looked down on people with a cool, arrogant, and domineering demeanor.
This little guy, isn't he the remnant soul of the Demon Lord Ya Lan after he was refined?
Judging from the behavior of the two people in front of them, someone must have noticed Xiao Hei's presence and then naturally assumed that she was Ya Lan.
This is truly a huge misunderstanding.
If they knew that most of their Demon Lord's soul had become her nourishment, and that the remaining part had been refined by her to do dirty work, their world would collapse.
An idea immediately came to her mind. She had been worried about how to infiltrate the radical faction, but now that she was the leader of the radical faction, all her problems were solved.
Fortunately, she had seen Ya Lan before, and she could imitate Ya Lan's demeanor.
Realizing that his answer hadn't been very impressive, he rolled his eyes at the two of them, his expression extremely cold and contemptuous.
Shi Mu had been somewhat skeptical, but now, seeing her like this, he was as if he had taken a stimulant.
Yes, yes, yes, that half-dead, indifferent look is just perfect!
This must be the Demon Lord without a doubt!
The more indifferent Shen Sangruo was, the more Shi Mu believed her.
Especially the little black creature inside her, which became more active, Shi Mu could feel its energy becoming stronger and more pronounced.
"I knew then that with the Demon Lord's strength, those cultivators would be no match for you! All these years I have been waiting for your resurrection and return." Shi Mu clasped his fists, his eyes filled with excitement.
Shen Sanruo said nothing, only let out a light chuckle, fully expressing her disdain.
Shi Mu was greatly encouraged, as if he had returned to the time when he and Ya Lan wreaked havoc on the cultivation world.
"I recognized you the moment I saw you, Demon Lord, and we made eye contact. You must have received that, right?"
"Knowing that the Demon Lord must have a grand plan, we fully cooperated with the Demon Lord in his disguise and waited several days before secretly coming to see you."
Shi Mu's tone was full of self-aggrandizement, as if he wished he could be her number one lackey.
He was filled with emotion. Even after a thousand years, his tacit understanding with the Demon Lord remained!
Looking at Shi Mu's wise expression, Shen Sanruo maintained her basic professionalism as an actress and said calmly, "Hmm, well done."
Shi Mu was overjoyed at being praised.
He immediately turned to look at Wan Quan, his eyes conveying a clear message: You see, this is the Demon Lord!
“My Lord Demon Lord, I, Wan Quan, am one of the current leaders of the radical faction.” Wan Quan believed it to a large extent. “I have long heard of your reputation and admire you greatly.”
"It is truly my regret that I was unable to witness the Demon Lord's majestic figure in his prime. May I ask the Demon Lord to demonstrate his power to me?"
Unlike Shi Mu, who possessed a kind of intellectually deficient beauty upon seeing the Demon Lord, he remained vigilant.
