Dozens of voices, some somber and some low and hoarse, emanated from within the cave swirling with black mist.
Qi Qi respectfully addressed Shang Beiyu as "Your Excellency!"
"What instructions does Your Excellency have?"
A chilling glint flashed in Shang Beiyu's beautiful, almost bewitching eyes: "Has it been too long since I last made a move? Have you all forgotten that I still exist in the capital of Dazhao?"
Upon hearing this, those on the other side of the black hole responded in fear:
"We wouldn't dare!"
"Your subordinate is ignorant and does not know what the matter of the Great Zhaofa is. Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!"
Although their voices were too noisy to distinguish, Shang Beiyu still managed to tell that one person hadn't answered: "Scorpion Envoy, do you have anything to say?"
As Shang Beiyu's voice suddenly deepened, a man's painful groan came from the other end of the black hole.
The others, upon hearing the muffled sound, knew that this matter had nothing to do with them.
They all shut their mouths.
The black hole instantly returned to a deathly silence.
A short while later.
A sharp, unpleasant voice, like metal scraping against metal, panted heavily, clearly in pain: "Your Majesty, it is not that I disobeyed the agreement with Da Zhao and returned to Da Zhao without authorization."
Instead, one of the demonic seeds planted by his subordinates back then, which had not yet been retrieved, suddenly awakened.
"I knew it wasn't easy for a demon seed to awaken, so I tried to recall it. I didn't even know that person was in the capital of Da Zhao, and I even alarmed... Your Majesty."
Hearing the lingering depression in the Scorpion Envoy's voice, the others automatically added a gloating comment for him:
What a mess! I didn't get to eat any mutton, and instead got myself into a lot of trouble.
"To be able to awaken the demonic seed here shows that he is a promising talent. Do you know who that person is?" Shang Beiyu softened his tone after confirming that they had not disobeyed his orders and had come to Dazhao and the capital without authorization.
The Scorpion Envoy, thousands of miles away, felt a chill run down his spine:
Judging from His Excellency's tone, has he taken a liking to the talent?
If His Majesty were to summon this person into the Black Purgatory and carelessly nurture him, and that person were indeed exceptionally talented, given the cruel methods he used on that child back then, wouldn't that person turn around and seek revenge once he grows up?
Fortunately, he was thousands of miles away and could only influence the host through the demonic seed, causing the host to hallucinate and hear hallucinations without knowing who the person was.
As long as that person doesn't enter the Black Purgatory, has no conditions to cultivate, and won't grow stronger in a short period of time, his life is temporarily safe.
Thinking this, the Scorpion Envoy replied with great relief, "Your Majesty, I am too far away from the Demon Seed to confirm who has awakened it."
"A mere ten thousand miles away, and you can't even distinguish your own demonic body? What a waste!" After saying this, Shang Beiyu waved his hand and withdrew the black mist hole, erasing it.
The Scorpion Envoy, thousands of miles away: "..."
It's like being hit even when you're lying down.
Then I realized:
Could it be that the demonic seed's unusual movement just now was because it sensed the Venerable One?
Should he activate and summon the demonic seed to help the Venerable One discover that demonic body?
Soon, the Scorpion Envoy abandoned this idea.
Why did you help the Venerable One discover that demonic body? Are you waiting for the Venerable One to bring that demonic body back and nurture it so that you can destroy it?
He wouldn't do something so stupid!
So no matter how much the demonic seed inside Black Owl struggled and stirred, the Scorpion Envoy pretended not to know and even sent a message to soothe it and prevent it from making such a big commotion.
The sealing went smoothly, which was beyond Ji Fengyao's expectations.
The demonic creature initially resisted fiercely, but then suddenly and inexplicably fell silent.
It was practically divine intervention.
