“Why are you escaping so quickly?  Didn’t you successfully deceive them already?”  Yang Kai asked confusedly as he chased after her.

“It’s only a temporary measure, Guo Yuan Ming isn’t stupid.  After a while when he reflects on it he will no doubt notice some flaws.  My relationship with the Thunderbolt Beast King is not very good, I was also recently ambushed and wounded by him and his minions; those people were Beast King’s henchmen, if they catch us everything will be over!” Shan Qing Luo hurriedly explained as she continued dashing forward a hundred meters at a time.

“Heh…”  Yang Kai’s expression became strange, “You are also one of the Devil Kings, someone on the same level as that Thunderbolt Beast King, him daring to bring people to ambush you, if you don’t have some kind of serious conflict of interest, it must be him coveting your beauty.  The temptation of a supreme beauty is really powerful!”

“You shut up!” Shan Qing Luo glared at him, and her expression became icy cold.

Yang Kai simply grinned as he shrugged his shoulders and obediently stayed quiet.

After those six or seven individuals had escaped more than a dozen kilometers, they suddenly stopped.

“What’s wrong Brother Guo?” Another expert at the Immortal Ascension Boundary Second Stage looked at him and asked.

Guo Yuan Ming frowned and looked back towards where they had met Shan Qing Luo.  Seemingly contemplating something as he asked, “Do you think something is off with that whore today?”

“Somewhat off?”

“How could she have let us off so easily?”  Guo Yuan Ming grew more and more skeptical. “Master had brought several people to ambush her a month ago, on top of that they also have many past grievances, even just considering the incident last month, us meeting her now should have ended up with us suffering greatly.”

“But if so, why would she just send us on our way?”

As he contemplated, his brow wrinkled further. He hesitated for a long time before continuing, “I heard from those involved in that ambush that although they failed to capture that devilish woman, she still suffered a direct hit from Master.”

“That’s right, and just now she did seem somewhat unsteady.  Perhaps she was seriously wounded in that fight and hasn’t fully healed yet?”

“A wound inflicted by Master isn’t something so easy to resolve.”  Guo Yuan Ming said as a light flashed across his eyes, “She is definitely still suffering from serious injuries or she would never have let us go so easily!  I remember half a year ago, Brother Yuan’s younger brother had only glanced at her once and she immediately killed him… that devilish woman is utterly ruthless, how could she suddenly be so forgiving?”

Hearing this and remembering back, Yuan Shi’s treacherous face flashed a trace anger and hatred, and he viciously cursed, “If it weren’t for her bloodline’s special skills, allowing the previous generation’s Demon Queen to pass on the bulk of her cultivation to her, allowing that little slut already have such high strength, I would have already killed her!”

Guo Yuan Ming swept his eyes over his companions and grinned meaningfully as he said, “If Brother Yuan wants revenge for his younger brother then right now is his chance!”

Everyone hearing these words couldn’t help being startled.

None of them had dared even consider the idea of openly opposing the Beguiling Demon Queen.

“What, are you all afraid?” Guo Yuan Ming sneered. “Her letting us go definitely means she has some scruples.  What could that be?  Obviously she’s afraid that right now she can’t beat us!”
