“What’s wrong? There seems to be demon energy here.” Luo Ling was filled with astonishment. Hadn’t the demon energy already been sealed?
The so called ‘hidden family clans’ were hidden because they needed to secretly protect the entire TianZe Mainland to prevent the sealed demon energy from seeping out. If it did, it would only lead to uncontrollable consequences.
GongZi Su narrowed his eyebrows. His permanent wooden face’s change was obvious as his puzzlement shone through.
“It’s either it invaded the body or the body voluntarily took it in.” If it were the latter, then the situation could get a bit messy. If the body was voluntary, then the demon energy would integrate fully with the host body. While this would allow host body to become powerful, it would also slowly erode the host from inside out. Even if the host comes to their senses later on, they would have already been harmed beyond restoration.
“Was there a problem with the sealing? But we always go back every once in awhile to inspect and strengthen the seal.” Luo Ling was baffled. It didn’t matter how that person they sensed had gained demon energy. Instead, their main problem was figuring out how someone was able to bring the demon energy out of their seal. Or had the demon energy sneaked out of their seal by itself?
GongZi Su didn’t say anything, only rubbing the blue jade penchant in his hand. If one took a closer look at the penchant, they would find that it was the exact same make as the one he had given XunMi. The only difference was that XunMi’s dragon faced left while the one in GongZi Su’s hand faced right, as if they looking right at each other.
Just like XunMi’s pendant, his wasn’t a common model. Rather, it was a magic treasure that had the ability to nurture the body as well as help disperse any demon energy.
Martial skills was divided into low, middle, and high within the basic level, low middle and high within the intermediate level and the spirit level. Magic treasures was also divided into basic, intermediate, and spirit level.
The same goes for demon beasts. XunMi’s snow fox was a young beast so he only had medium level strength. When he grew older, he will be able to directly enter the spirit level without a doubt.
“Ah Su, I’m going to send information home and ask around.” Luo Ling saw that GongZi Su was busy thinking so didn’t bother him.
The results on the fighting stage was also slowly appearing. The only person standing in good condition on stage was Ouyang HanShuang and Liu ZhenXin.
Ouyang HanShuang naturally had depended on her formation strategies so that she could goof off on stage without being harmed.
Meanwhile, Liu ZhenXin appeared a bit disheveled. Her white gown was covered in dust. However, her eyes were unusually bright to the point that it gave people a strange feeling.
XunMi had been paying attention the entire time. There was a bad premonition expanding in her heart. “BaoBao, come out. Is there some kind of mysterious presence in this world that I haven’t unlocked yet?”
The strange feeling that Liu ZhenXin was giving her was recent.
[Madam Host, I just checked. There really is! But the information is all confidential. Madam Host needs to come across it yourself. Right! As a friendly reminder, Liu ZhenXin’s Blackening Measure has already shot up.] BaoBao responded but didn’t show himself. If someone saw him appear, they would definitely think they saw a ghost.
When XunMi heard the blackening news, she was bewildered and amused. It’s been a few worlds since she heard the Good Feelings Measure and Blackening Measure being brought up.
“That means Liu ZhenXin that had been provoked to her limits right? Could it have happened just now?” After experiencing the vampire world, XunMi’s senses have been sharpened. Just now, she thought she smelled a rotten and stinky odor. But since she couldn’t put a name to the scent, she had given up and turned back to the stage.
Taking a closer look now, XunMi’s heart jumped. How did Liu ZhenXin’s strength suddenly increase by so much? Before, she hadn’t even broken through to Soul Monarch yet. Who can explain the Soul Sage leveled killing intent emitting from her?
Did Liu ZhenXin taken cultivation pills? No, this hadn’t come from pills, but that earlier scent.
So what could that sudden scent have been?
Ouyang HanShuang was also astonished. She was actually being suppressed by Liu ZhenXin’s pressure. If not for her extensive equipment, she would probably already have fallen to her knees.
How did Liu ZhenXin’s strength increase so quickly? It took her an entire half year to go from zero to soul king. Teacher had even called her heaven’s daughter for cultivating so quickly.
HanShuang quickly pulled out a random magic tool from her inventory and dodged to the side. Turning to jump off the stage, she said, “This miss doesn’t feel like playing with you anymore.” The ultimate winning will be LiuGuang Sect anyways. The fact that the actual winner was Liu ZhenXin made her a bit sullen and confused.
She needed to go talk with her Teacher. Liu ZhenXin was really fishy, she needed to warn her teacher to be careful.
Liu ZhenXin wasn’t going to let Ouyang HanShuang off so easily. After all, this was the woman that she wanted to gnash to death in her past life! Liu ZhenXin’s hands darkened as she prepared to attack Ouyang HanShuang while her back was facing her.
XunMi saw her actions clearly. Not having the time to worry about accidentally revealing her hidden wildcards, she immediately flashed forward. Numerous flower petals appeared mid air. As if they had their own consciousness, they assembled together and firmly protected Ouyang HanShuang in their embrace.
Meanwhile, XunMi held her jade flute in one hand and stopped in front of Liu ZhenXin. She striked her flute onto Liu ZhenXin’s forehead with force and kicked her chest.
Bang! Liu ZhenXin fell onto the stage floor, splashing up a pile of dust.
XunMi coldly walked towards Liu ZhenXin and used one leg to step onto the wrist of the right hand Liu ZhenXin used to try to sneak attack Ouyang HanShuang.
“Ahhhh!” A bloodcurling scream sounded as the wrist stiffly snapped. XunMi had also used spiritual energy to shatter her meridians.
She herself hadn’t even gone looking for revenge yet, why did Liu ZhenXin repeatedly come looking for trouble herself?
In the crowd, the audience was once again stunned by this sudden twist. What a mysterious method! They’ve never heard of such a strategy.
The ability to control flower petals itself wasn’t too rare. However, she was able to make flower petals appear out of nowhere! The petals’ fiery red color was just too complimentary to the woman in red that was controlling them, as if they had been created for her.
Luo Ling carried Ouyang HanShuang away, safely placing her down onto the ground. He wasn’t too focused on XunMi’s mysterious methods. Just now, his feet had moved before his mind to get to HanShuang’s side. But this kind of feeling wasn’t bad.
Ouyang HanShuang was a bit upset: she was still too weak.
“Liu ZhenXin, I’m just teaching you a lesson today. You better remember: my people aren’t people you can bully just because you want to. If this happens again, it won’t just be a broken hand. I would be very willing to take your ugly head as punishment next time.” XunMi dug her heel down before coldly continuing, “Those that belong in the darkness shouldn’t come strolling out into sunlight.”
Taking a look around at those around her, XunMi’s red lips curled up. “I am truly sorry for making everyone see such a chaotic scene and causing a disruption to the good mood. To demonstrate my remorse, our LiuGuang sect will be gifting everyone here today with a DaHuan pill.”
XunMi really had LiuGuang sect in her heart. She was always looking to benefit LiuGuang sect first.
