Chapter 341: Quality Pool Water
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The three were also stunned, confused looks over their faces.
What's the matter? The pool water expired?
Jing Qi's expression went ever more crazy. He stared at them with reddened eyes, "What did you do to the wa-" He stopped mid-sentence, and a painful look went across his face. His hand pressed to his stomach subconsciously.
In the next moment, his originally slightly fat belly inflated rapidly like a balloon. Within three breaths, it already became so large that he inclined towards the back, and seemed to lose his balance.
"How can this... what's this!" Jing Qi's one hand supported his waist, and he leaned against the trunk of a nearby tree. His face was full of fear, as his belly continued to grow larger. Vaguely, they could see something moving below his belly.
The three felt like something clicked in their mind, and they understood it instantly.
Lonemoon looked amazed. "Spring of life... it was real and genuine indeed!"

Yi Qing also nodded knowingly, "Good quality with instant effects!"
Jing Qi's expression was flurried and fearful at the same time, like he was on the verge of losing his mind. He roared, "What are you saying? What on earth is the matter with me?"
The three looked at one another.
Shen Ying stepped forward, patted his shoulder and said, "Man, congratulations, you are pregnant!" Isn't this the spring of life? Of course it's for bearing life. Indeed.
"..." Jing Qi's face went pale immediately.
In the next moment, he looked like he could not bear with such news. His eyes rolled, and he fainted.
Shen Ying poked the person on the ground with a tree branch, "Fainted in joy?"
Lonemoon's mouth twitched. It was obviously fainting in shock, okay? "What do we do now? Send him back to that plane?" Or simply kill him?

"We probably can't!" Yi Qing shook his head directly. "Though the original soul has already come out, he has another in his belly now." What if there is a new soul in his belly? Which side would he belong to later?
"How, then?" Lonemoon was speechless. Are they gonna have to deliver his baby?
"Let's bring him back to Invincible Sect first." Shen Ying suggested.
"Go back to Celestial World now?" Lonemoon was shocked. "But Chef..."
Before he finished, he turned to look at Yi Qing beside him, and realized that the aura all over him was no longer Spirit Qi, but faint God Power.
"Holy shit! When did you recover?" This is obviously recovered. And it's too fast!
"Just now." Yi Qing gave him a confused look. Didn't he let him try changing into a dragon?
"How about that assistant seal?"
As he finished asking, a flash of light appeared between Yi Qing's brows. In the next moment, a familiar infinity symbol appeared. The things that Shen Ying once wrote surrounded the symbol as black fonts, and they tightened. Just like when he did last time, the symbol looked as though it was being squeezed to break, and it disappeared together with those words. The God Power that surrounded him suddenly disappeared, too.

"..." What the f*ck!
"Let's go home!" Shen Ying turned back and called. She directly opened up the plane and stepped inside first.
Just as Yi Qing was going to follow, he was pulled back by Lonemoon. "Come back!"
"What is it?"
"To carry him, of course! You want me to carry this pregnant woman... uh no, man, on my own!?" What if the child gets hurt? Lonemoon pointed to the person on the ground. "You lift the head, I lift the feet."
"Oh."
So the two lifted up the person on the ground and walked towards the plane gate.
——————
The gate that Shen Ying opened was directly in the back palace of Invincible Heavenly Palace. Lonemoon and Yi Qing casually threw a certain pregnant man who remained unconscious all the way onto the ground at the side.
Due to the time difference, the three of them had not returned to Invincible Sect for more than 3000 years. Lonemoon looked around and realized that there was no significant change to the place since they left. Even the table outside that Shen Ying used to eat at was so clean that there was no dust at all. It seemed that someone had been cleaning the place frequently.

Lonemoon directly made hand seals to set a few layers of array formations. Chef had already gone into the kitchen for cooking in a familiar manner. And Shen Ying leaned onto the table habitually, looking lazy like she had no bones.
When Lonemoon finished with the arrays, Chef had already come out with two finished dishes. The surroundings were still completely silent. It didn't occur to them just now, but now they felt that the place seemed too silent. After so long, not to mention anyone entering, there was no hint of anyone being around nearby at all.
Lonemoon frowned, stood up and said, "Let me go and look for Yu Hong and Boss Lan."
With that said, he flew out on his sword. Yet he found not a single disciple in the black palace nor in the several palaces nearby. His heart sank, and he directly used Divine Perception to sweep through the whole Heavenly Palace. But he found that the whole Invincible Heavenly Palace was empty, without a single person.
How could this be?
He remembered that when they left, Lan Hua had already become a Godfiend. With his protection, there wasn't supposed to be troubles. In any case, even if something happened, there couldn't be not even a single soul left. The palace showed no traces of war as well. Where did all the people go?
He frowned and suddenly remembered something. He turned to fly towards the immortal herb field at the back end. Indeed, he felt a familiar Immortal Qi from far away. There was the vibration from spells as well.
In the center of the herb field, an array formation shone. It seemed like a trapping array. In the middle of it, a familiar big carrot was trying hard to crawl out, but kept getting pressed back by the array. Perhaps due to the energy consumption, the originally green leaves on its head was partly yellow now. It draped down like it was going to fall off.

"Radish?!" Lonemoon was shocked. It had grown to become so big. He waved a hand and released that array, as he flew down.
The struggling figure stiffened. Its head turned somewhat slowly, and the Radish was completely stunned.
"What happened to you?" Lonemoon went up and asked, "What on earth happened..."
"Ah..." Before he could finish, Radish had already rushed over and broke into violent crying. Water emerged from all over it that it became a wet Radish . "Elder Annoying, you are finally back! Ah..."
Lonemoon, "..."
To hell with your 'Elder Annoying'! Lonemoon's mouth twitched. Seeing that his clothes were made wet by the carrot, he hurried to pluck a certain vegetable down from his body.
"Don't cry any more. What happened? We've just come back. Why is there not a person in the Heavenly Palace?"
"WE!" Carrot looked up suddenly, and water instantly stopped flowing from its body, and even the leaves on his head stood up. "Little Missy is back!"
"Yes, we all..."
"Little Missy!" Before he could finish, Carrot had already turned, leaped out, and went bouncing in the direction of the back palace. It was apparently much larger than before, yet when it bounced it moved so fast that it looked like a shadow. Lonemoon almost failed to catch up with him.
Chapter 342: The Return to Immortal PavilionTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Radish didn't stop until it had come all the way to the back palace. Seeing the familiar figure sitting at the table, the whole Radish started trembling slightly in disbelief. "Little... Missy?"
Shen Ying who was eating turned back and waved a hand while still holding her chopsticks. "Hey! Radish?"
"Little Missy... Little... Missy!" Radish rushed forward rapidly, but when it reached Shen Ying's side it stopped once more, sniffed her nose, and in the next moment the whole Radish started flooding with water once more. "Wah... Little Missy you're back. You are finally... finally back. Radish... Radish is so scared, so, so scared... Ahhhh!"
The more it cried, the sadder it became, and it didn't seem able to control it. It cried until the whole Radish seemed a bit dried. It looked like a child who had been wronged and ran to his parents to complain.
Shen Ying exchanged a look with Chef beside her, sighed, put down the bowl inside her hand, touched the tried leaves on top of Radish's head. "What's the matter with this?"
"Little Missy... Little Missy..." Radish seemed to have gotten a chest pain from crying. It said hurriedly while burping, "Quickly... quickly save... everyone! Little Missy is... caught."
The three was stunned. Lonemoon who just came after him stepped forward and said, "You mean Yu Hong? Who was she caught by? Where did the others go? Tell us clearly."

"It's... it's the Demon King!" Radish said hurriedly, "He caught Big Sister Little Hong. Brother... Brother Lan went to chase after him and never came back. So Little Yu and the others... went as well. They said it was too dangerous and wouldn't let Radish come along."
"You mean Little Black caught Yu Hong?!" Lonemoon was shocked. After not seeing him for a couple thousand years, he had grown bolder. He even dared to come to catch people at Invincible Sect.
"No. It's the Demon King." Radish shook its head hard and then nodded. It grew even more anxious and grabbed Shen Ying's sleeve. "Little Missy, please hurry up and go to save them. They've already been away for a whole night and still haven't returned!"
"Shen Ying, let's leave quickly!" Lonemoon was anxious, he turned back and called out his flying sword. Chef also started to use spells to keep the unfinished dishes on the table.
"Wait," Shen Ying suddenly spoke.
"Wait for what?" Lonemoon grew even more anxious. "Right now they..."
"Are back."
Huh?
Ads by Revcontent
Lonemoon was stunned. He turned to look and saw that a great amount of demonic Qi suddenly emerged from their surroundings and gathered together. The space in front of him distorted, and in the next moment, a one-person tall tear appeared in the air, and seven or eight figures fell out of it. All of them were covered with blood and looked terrible. Especially the person in the front, his body riven with blood, what's more, half of a broken sword was stuck in his chest.
"Lan Hua!" Lonemoon was shocked. Seeing that he was almost falling down, he hurried to reach out and support him.
"Big Sister Little Hong!" Radish was also shocked. With a flash, it changed into human form, turned and hugged the similarly blooded figure behind Lan Hua.
"Lonemoon?" Lan Hua's eyes opened wide as he looked in disbelief towards the person in front of him. The originally gray and dark eyes brightened immediately, "You're here, then Kindness..."
He hurried to look behind him, and the others also turned to look towards Shen Ying. For a time, seven or eight gazes were fixed upon her.
"Hey!" Shen Ying waved in greeting.
In the next instant, the people present looked like they were figures in a freeze-frame. They looked straight at the person in front of them, their eyes opened wide. The looks in their eyes that were that of despair a moment ago seemed brightened instantly, and a faint watery glow appeared in there.
A while later...
"Disciples of Invincible Sect greet the sect master!"

——————
Lan Hua and the party were badly hurt. Besides Yu Hong, whose injury was slightly less, the others either had all the meridians broken or had their immortal bones injured. Lonemoon and Yi Qing put in a great amount of effort, before they could manage to stabilize their condition.
"So what happened?" asked Lonemoon.
Before Lan Hua replied, Yu Hong at his side took a step forward and knelt down directly, her face full of self-blame. "It's my fault! I made everyone suffer. Elder, please punish me."
"No! This has nothing to do with Big Sister Little Hong!" Radish grew anxious, came straight forward and attempted to pull her up, but Yu Hong was unwilling to stand up.
"How can this be blamed on you?" Lan Hua also persuaded her.
"How is this related to Yu Hong?" Lonemoon became even more confused as he listened. "Your injury... Did Little Black indeed do this?"
"Not Little Black. It was the new Demon King," Lan Hua shook his head and said, "Little Black is gone."
"What?" There's actually a new Demon King. Lonemoon was stunned.
Lan Hua started describing the recent series of events. "We only got to know about the change of Demon King recently. A few years ago, Little Black suddenly came over and passed a low-level Dharma artifact to Yu Hong. Soon afterwards, the Demon King caught Yu Hong and brought her away, forcing her to give up that Dharma artifact. Only when I chased after her did I understand that the Demon King had already changed, and I ended up trapped as well. The other disciples broke into Demon World and used their greatest effort to bring us back."

"What Dharma artifact?" Lonemoon frowned. "Why did Little Black pass it to Yu Hong?" For something so important, he should have handed it to Lan Hua, if he had to hand it to someone. What's the matter with passing to Yu Hong?
Lan Hua was stunned and looked at Yu Hong beside him who suddenly looked down. He coughed and said, "That's... the love token between the two of them."
"Huh?"
Love?
With this said, even Shen Ying who was still eating stopped short. "Little Black... and Yu Hong?" What kind of strange development is this? These two are actually together! It seemed that they had missed more than a little in these three thousand years.
"Disciples of the sect were often unable to find a practicing partner," Lan Hua scratched his head and explained, "Little Black often came to visit, and he was a demon... so, uh, could bear much hitting. Yu Hong was the big Junior Sister so she asked him to help with the training, so...
So as the hitting went their love came about? Okay, not problematic at all! In any case, Little Black paid for this girlfriend with blood.
"At first they were about to wait for Kindness to come back before they officially became Dao partners, "Lan Hua gave Shen Ying a look, "But we didn't imagine... that Little Black would go missing just like this."

"It was all my fault, believing that person's lies that there was knowledge as to where Little Black went, and leaving the sect without notice..." Yu Hong's face was full of guilt. "That made everyone end up trapped in the Demon World. I..." Before she could finish, she suddenly spat blood, and her figure seemed unstable.
"You're hurt too badly. Focus on your breath and don't move." Lonemoon frowned and stopped her from standing up. "I've gotten the gist of the matter. This was indeed not your fault."
"No! It was me..." The regret on her face deepened, and her face actually whitened. Blood flowed out from the corner of her mouth uncontrollably, and even the Immortal Qi over her body started dissipating.
"What happened?" Lonemoon was shocked, as he realized that there was something wrong with her body. He reached out and discovered that the meridians all over her body were broken, and even the primordial spirit started collapsing. How can this be? Her injuries were apparently the lightest. By right, she should be okay after the readjustment. Why did she get even worse than the others?
Chapter 343: Forces from the Demon WorldTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Just as Lonemoon going to produce a hand seal, Shen Ying suddenly stood up and dragged the person on the ground up directly. Her one hand suddenly went through Yu Hong's chest, as though she grabbed something and dragged it out by force. Yu Hong felt relieved immediately and breathed out deeply. The suffocating feeling that had been around her heart suddenly disappeared.
"Sect master?" She looked up with some confusion and realized that something purple in Shen Ying's hand. It concentrated in the middle of her palm like a smog.
"Shen Ying, what's this?" Lonemoon's eyes widened immediately. He looked at the thing in her palm. He didn't realize that there was anything else inside their bodies during his examination just now. He turned to look at others, and even Yu Hong looked completely confused.
"This looks... like very thick Immortal Qi." Yi Qing also frowned and looked towards that purple aura, which was surprisingly even thicker than Immortal Qi.
"Can't it be another intruder?" Lonemoon remembered the pregnancy... uh no, the Spring of Life. He hurried to look with his assistant authority, but nothing could be seen.
"I don't know!" Shen Ying shook her head and was just about to say something.
Suddenly, the ground shook, and as though something was activated, white light surrounded them. A giant protective screen appeared, and surrounded the whole palace.

"It's the Protective Mountain Array!" Lan Hua's face paled. He looked at the three and said, "Those from Demon World has chased us here."
"Good that they come!" Lonemoon snorted. "We haven't gone to look for them, but they came to our doorsteps themselves!"
—————
Outside the palace.
The sky was dim, and large waves of demonic Qi covered the sky above the palace. Rows of demon military surrounded the palace tightly.
In front were the ten Skyfiends. An amazing amount of demonic Qi rose from their bodies. Behind them was a row of captured Invincible Sect disciples. Their looks were wretched and seemed to be badly hurt. Some even half-knelt on the clouds, as though they no longer had the strength to stand. But their back remained straight.
The demons looked at one another, then at the palace in front of them. As though remembering something, they felt a bit afraid. Invincible Sect had probably the best relation with the demon world, and the interaction between cultivators and demons on ordinary days were quite frequent. Yet this was the order of the new demon king, and they had to carry it out. Besides, with all disciples of Invincible Sect caught, so long as they took this opportunity to take over the palace, it won't be long before they dominated the whole Three Realms.
Thinking of that, the demons calmed down and cried right towards the palace, "Emperor Lan Hua, we have come to fetch our queen back to the palace. Please deliver the person. Once we get her, we will definitely not trouble all of you."
Ads by Revcontent
No response came from the palace, and the demons were hesitating about whether to take it by force. Among the ten, there was one Skyfiend, who grew impatient waiting and suggested, "Fiend Supremacies, why bother talking with them? Their people are in our hands. Just kill a few, and they are sure to come out."
With that said, he directly grabbed a dying disciple at his side. One hand holding his neck, he threatened loudly, "Lan Hua, you coward, don't you think that everything is okay once you run back here. If you understand the situation, you should quickly hand over that Yu Hong. Otherwise, with every moment that passes, we will kill one of your disciples, until your whole sect had died."
"How dare you!" As he finished talking, two white figures suddenly appeared in front of the palace. Their looks were unfamiliar and there was an amazing amount of sword qi about them.
The Skyfiends were stunned, not knowing the identity of the two for a moment. But those Invincible Sect disciples who were caught suddenly gasped, with brightened eyes, "Elder!". It was as though they had just witnessed a miracle.
"Who are you?" The Skyfiends glanced at the two cautiously. These two were Invincible Sect disciples too, then. But isn't Invincible Sect formed of body cultivators? Why would these two have so much Sword Qi about them.
"You are the ten Skyfiend? Right! It's been thousands of years, it's only normal that you don't remember us." Lonemoon glanced at the disciples in the air, and his look grew heavier. "But there's someone that you are sure to remember. Shen..." He turned to call a certain person, before realizing that there was nobody behind him. Immediately, his mouth twitched, and he called towards the figure on the right side who was walking even further away, "Wait! Where're you going? Here we are!" She got lost so easily indeed.
"Oh," Everyone heard a lazy reply, and then some footsteps. After a while, the figure of a woman came over strolling, a half-eaten fruit in her hand.
When they recognized her look, the Skyfiends stiffened, and a sudden lightning seemed to strike in their minds. Their legs grew soft. Were... were their eyes tricking them? Were they blind?
"Sect master!" The disciples cried out in surprise. An immense brightness shone in their eyes.

"Sect master? Isn't your sect master Lan Hua? Since when did you change a sect master?" Only the who had just been raised to Skyfiend snorted. "Never mind that. You had better give over the person, and I may spare your life. Else after we butchered... Oh!"
Before he could finish, a Skyfiend who stood beside him suddenly gave him a strong kick, almost knocking him down from the clouds.
"Fiend Kun, what are you doing!?" The new Skyfiend was angry immediately. Just as he was about to asking for his reason, like some switch had been turned on, the other Skyfiends also rushed on and started to hit him. "Wait, what are you doing? Stop... it..."
Shit, even if you don't understand the situation, don't look for your own death! Even if you do, don't make us suffer with you! Remembering that injury which couldn't properly heal after more than 500 years, they felt a pain in their bodies.
"Shut up! How can you be so impolite!"
Yes, yes. Speaking to great God like this, you are such a scum of the demon kind!"
"So annoying. The newbie is just lawless. Without giving him a lesson, I can't stand it!"
"And he has the guts to say it's painful? Hit him, hit him hard."
"You're making us demons lose face. Hit him to death, we must hit him to death!"
The Skyfiends beat that one without any hesitation, and that one cried horribly. In a while, the whole palace echoed with those demon cries.

Shen Ying, "..."
Lonemoon, "..."
Yi Qing: "..."
Other confused demons, "..."
By the way, what did they actually come for?
This nine-versus-one beating continued for more than ten minutes, until a certain new Skyfiend was no longer able to make a sound, the nine finally stopped and...
... they knelt down together in front of Shen Ying and cried loudly, "Great God, we are sorry!"
Those who were energetically beating someone a moment ago suddenly started crying bitterly, and shouting heartily.
Ads by Revcontent
"Great God the Demon King made me do all of this."
"Yes, Great God, we were all forced by the Demon King. We are all good demons and had never thought about attacking the immortal realm."
"The Demon King is too unseemly, and we had no choice."
"Yes, yes. He was still thinking of marrying lady Little Hong of the former Demon King. That's too shameless!"
The demons cried even harder, and their bodies shook like leaves in the wind.
Chapter 344: Little Black MissingTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Alright, alright!" Does your Demon King know that all of you concede defeat so easily? He expected a fight in any case, and didn't expect that once Shen Ying came out, they gave themselves up immediately. How big was the trauma from last time?
"Release the disciples first!"
"Yes, yes!" The Skyfiends nodded hard like chickens eating grains. They hurried to wave towards the demons behind them, "Hurry up and send... oh, invite, them down!"
Only then did the demon army escort down that row of disciples who were originally meant as hostages.
Lonemoon counted and realized the disciples caught by them were only a few dozen. His heart sank, "What about the others?"
"Elder, they are still at the Demon Palace." a disciple answered.
His face darkened, and turned to glance at the nine still kneeling, and saw that they shook even more severely.
Ads by Revcontent
"That... I... We don't know about it too. They were all captured by the Demon King with arrays."
Lonemoon frowned, glanced at the disciples in front of him and gave Yi Qing a look. "Chef, I'll bring them in first, you and Shen Ying trap those outside."
"Hmm." Yi Qing nodded and went right up to set an array, trapping the whole demon army in their original position. The arrays he made were of the dragon clan, and naturally the demons could not break out of them. He turned around, took the nine Skyfiends and went back.
When they reached the back palace, those disciples were already tended to. Most of them were badly hurt, and some had even injured their immortal bones. Fortunately, there was no shortage of elixirs in the sect, and they only needed more time to rest. Lonemoon was more worried about those who had not returned.
"Say it, what is that happened in the Demon World?" Lonemoon, Shen Ying and Chef sat at the dining table and looked towards the nine Skyfiends, who knelt down obediently once more in front of them.
The nine looked at one another, and all of them shook their heads. "We are also not sure. We haven't seen Li Yin since several months ago."
"Who's Li Yin?" The three were stunned for a moment.
"Demon King Little Black, it is," The nine hurried to explain.
Ads by Revcontent
"..." Uh, they had been so used to calling Little Black that they forgot that he had a name. "What happened to him?"
"The last time we saw former Demon King Li Yin was when he commanded the whole Demon Palace to get the dowry prepared within three months.
So Little Little Black was actually quite sincere towards Yu Hong.
"Wait, dowry?" Lonemoon was stunned. Isn't it supposed to be bride price?
Healing the disciples at one side, Lan Hua's mouth twitched, and he suddenly said, "Because Yu Hong told him, Kindness and both of you were not around, she would not marry over, so..."
"So he planned to come here?" Lonemoon was speechless. Little Black was quite serious about getting married indeed. It seemed that the previous Demon King also ran away with his wife? Are all Demon Kings so irresponsible? How could he have suddenly felt a little worried about the future of demons?
"And after that?"
"When we finish preparing and went to notify him, we couldn't find him in the whole demon palace, as if... he had suddenly vanished."
"What about the new Demon King now, then?"
Ads by Revcontent
"The new Demon King also suddenly appeared in the Demon World. We have no idea of his past. His cultivation level is high, and the combined force of us ten Skyfiends was not enough to defeat him." The nine continued to explain. "According to the rules of demons, he was indeed qualified to become the Demon King. At first we wanted to notify Invincible Sect regarding the disappearance of Demon King Li... Little Black, but the new Demon King said there was no need for such troubles, and we could just go ahead with the marriage. He also said he was going to come personally to explain to lady Little Hong. We didn't expect that..."
That he directly kidnapped Yu Hong, and severely injured Lan Hua who went after them, drawing the whole sect to the Demon Palace.
The nine looked up at Shen Ying meekly and continued, "We thought at first... that this new Demon King only took a liking to lady Yu Hong, too. We didn't expect that he would actually directly attack Bo Sea Shen Ying."
Others also nodded, and they started complaining.
"Actually, we didn't want to come... But the Demon King said those severely injured disciples were to be killed. We... had to persuade him to keep them for hostage, and then we brought the demon army here."
"Yes, yes. We haven't fought for many years. We don't want to fight since long ago!"
"Exactly. I only got the directory to Feng Cang Continent last month and was at first planning to go on a vacation during the Demon King's wedding."
"Hmm-hmm. I've tried hard and relied on relations to get some immortal brews, I won't be able to taste them after the fight begins."
"What is this? I am supposed to participate in the Immortal Peaches Festival of Ten Continents tomorrow."
As the nine demons talked, they grew even sadder, and their faces were full of grievances.
Ads by Revcontent
Lonemoon was completely speechless. Seeing these demons who had not a hint of fighting spirit, he silently pitied the Demon World ancestors. He suddenly felt that in the recent thousands of years, the integration of immortal and demon worlds seems a bit fast. But thinking of Little Black, it seemed less strange after all.
He could actually see that these few indeed didn't have the intention of forcefully attacking Invincible Sect. Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought a large group and stood outside shouting instead of starting to fight. While the Protective Mountain Array outside Invincible Heavenly Palace was strong, it wouldn't have been able to stand the combined attack of ten Skyfiends. Except a certain confused Skyfiend who got beaten up by his own kind, of course.
Besides, at that moment, they didn't know yet that Shen Ying had already returned. Yet they didn't enter, and a big possibility was that they didn't want to fight this battle after all. But for the face of the Demon King, they had to come and shout a bit.
"Where are the rest of our disciples kept?" asked Lonemoon.
"In the Demon Palace dungeons!" A Skyfiend raised his hand and answered immediately. "Exalted Goddess, are you going to Demon World to save them? Now? I can lead the way!"
"Me too, me too!" Others nodded immediately, and they started discussing, excitement all over their eyes. It was as if they weren't going over to dismantle their base, but to help them. "I'm most familiar with the dungeons. I even know the hidden passages."
"I know them too. They are kept on the third floor of the dungeons, furthest inside."
"Yes, yes. The new Demon King must be in the Demon Palace right now. I can bring Exalted Goddess inside."
Ads by Revcontent
"Or we can simply go back fighting. I've disliked him since long ago."
"Indeed. Although Exalted Immortal doesn't need our help, we can cheer for you!"
"And..."
Shen Ying, "..."
Lonemoon, "..."
Yi Qing: "..."
Is it only okay that you are selling your Demon King so thoroughly? He suddenly pitied that new Demon King.
"Chef, go with me to save them." Lonemoon randomly chose a Skyfiend to lead the way, then turned to Lan Hua beside him and said, "Boss Lan, these disciples are in your charge."
"Okay." Lan Hua nodded.
"Eh? Is Exalted... Goddess not going?" The chosen Skyfiend looked at Shen Ying, who was already leaning on the table, and then looked at Lonemoon, his face full of concern.
Lonemoon's mouth twitched. What the hell is this doubting look? Can't they do without Shen Ying? They had practice in the Divine World at any rate, okay? It's merely taking care of a small Demon King. Besides, the sect was full of injured disciples. It was more appropriate for Shen Ying to stay here.
Lonemoon told others about some precautions, and without further delay, called towards Yi Qing, "Chef, let's go!"
Chef turned, took out a storage bag full of food, handed over to Shen Ying, before he flew up on his sword. They went towards the Demon World together.
Chapter 345: The New Demon KingTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Late into the night.
Invincible Sect, palace wing.
Yu Hong was meditating and managing her breath. Probably due to the strange purple gas that was her body, even after its removal, her body suffered severe injuries. Especially the primordial spirit. Lonemoon only barely managed to suppress it for her before. To recover, she needed to rely on herself.
She let go of her Divine Perception and used her full strength to mobilize her primordial spirit. In a short while, sweat started to appear on her forehead, and her complexion started to pale. The warming of primordial spirit required complete focus, and that was what she did. That's why she didn't notice the black gas which suddenly appeared in the room.
The black gas slowly gathered. The air suddenly distorted and silently a tear appeared. A figure came out from the inside. Demonic Qi overflowed from his body and instantly filled the whole room.
Yu Hong finally felt the impact of the demonic Qi and stopped her breath adjustment. Subconsciously, she thought that Lan Hua was there. "Lan..." She looked up, but a wave of demonic Qi went right towards her face. She was shocked, and instantly the protective Dharma artifact on her lightened and stopped the demonic Qi.
Only then did she recognize the person opposite her. That was a man in blue with a black aura all over him. His hair was messy and his eyes were red and crazed. He stared right at her, and hatred filled his eyes.

"It's you!" Yu Hong was shocked, and immediately she wanted to use the transmission amulet on the side of her body, yet the other person was one step faster. A wave of demonic Qi hit right on her arm. With another wave of his hand, the demonic Qi in the surroundings gathered and formed black ropes, which tied Yu Hong up tightly. Yu Hong felt the immortal powers within her stagnate, and she was unable to mobilize it no matter what she tried. She stared up at the person in front of her. "What on earth do you want?"
That person was the new Demon King. Elders Lonemoon and Yi Qing had already rushed to the Demon World. She didn't expect him to actually appear here.
"Give me the thing!" The figure turned and went to Yu Hong's side, dragging her up directly, he started glancing all over hurried. His eyes opened wide, blood-like color inside it. His expression also grew crazier. "Where's the thing? Why isn't it here? Where is it?"
"Where is... what?" Yu Hong suffered severe injuries to begin with, and coupled with the erosion of demonic Qi, she had no power to resist.
"The thing that you took! Hurry up and return it to me." That person asked again.
"I... I didn't..." Yu Hong was about to rebut before she suddenly remembered something. "You mean the jade hairpin Dharma artifact that Little Black gave to me?" He came to Invincible Sect for that?
"That's not what you should have taken. Quickly give it to me!" He grabbed her even tighter.
Yu Hong's look darkened. "So you've seen Little Black indeed. Where is he?"

"Hmph! He wants something that does not belong to him. He deserves to die!" The other person grew even angrier. "Give me back the thing!"
"What did you do to him?" Yu Hong grew anxious and started struggling, but she couldn't get rid of the demonic Qi all over her. "Let me go! That Dharma artifact belonged to the treasure house of Demon Palace. Since when was it yours?"
"That was what you robbed from me. Your whole world are thieves!" As he talked, he grew ever madder, and the demonic Qi over him became even thicker. He looked like he wanted to destroy the heavens and the earth. "Give it back to me!"
"I didn't! You destroyed that hairpin yourself last time!"
"What happened to the thing inside it?" He asked loudly.
"What?" Yu Hong was stunned. There was something inside the jade hairpin. What was it?
"Where on earth did it go? Where did you hide it?" He asked even more loudly.
"I don't know what you are talking about! What thing? What are you looking for?"
"It was apparently on you just now. Return it to me!" His hand withdrew, and layers of demonic Qi surrounded Yu Hong even tighter. "Or I will massacre your whole sect right now!"

"I mean..." suddenly a lazy voice sounded beside his ears. "Is it not so good for you to make such promises in front of me?"
"Who?" The man was shocked. Only then did he see Shen Ying beside him. She was sitting beside the bed, only three steps away from him. A half-grown Radish leaned on her back, fast asleep.
For a time, the whole room was filled with the snoring of a certain Radish.
"Who are you... why are you here?"
"I've always been here!" Shen Ying inclined her head. She's been listening for a long time.
The man's heart sank. He actually didn't notice it at all. More importantly, he could not figure out her cultivation, besides vaguely feeling a wave of irresistible pressure.
With a turn of thought, he sent a wave of demonic Qi right over. At the same time, his hand turned to draw a line in the air, attempting to tear up the void. Yet he realized that there was no reaction at all. The space that he could, in ordinary days, open up easily, suddenly lost contact with him.
He was seized with fear. Understanding that he might not be able to deal with the person in front of him, he grabbed Yu Hong and rushed out, preparing to escape. Yet he felt an emptiness at his side, turning, he saw that Yu Hong whom he grabbed but a moment ago had already disappeared, and re-appeared at the side of that woman just now. His footsteps stopped.
With a casual wave of hand, Shen Ying drew Yu Hong out from the cocoon of demonic Qi. The demonic Qi in the surroundings all dissipated.
"Sect master?" Yu Hong was stunned, and her eyes brightened immediately. "Why are you here?"

"Oh, Radish snored." Shen Ying casually plucked the Radish on her back down and threw it onto the bed. "I couldn't sleep, so I sent him here on my way."
Radish rolled over on the bed, snoring, still not woken. Subconsciously he rolled back again and started climbing onto Shen Ying's back once more.
Alright! This vegetable had upgraded from a leg accessory to a back accessory.
"Return me the thing!" The person who rushed out just now came back again, looked at the two with an angry face and demonic Qi overflowed from his body. "Otherwise both of you will die here!"
"Sect master! He is the new Demon King." Yu Hong was shocked and reminded her loudly. She turned to look at him and said, "I have no idea what you're talking about!"
"You still want to lie. Last time, the thing was apparently on you." That person grew even more anxious, staring hard at Yu Hong. "This world is indeed full of disgusting creatures."
"That hairpin was already destroyed by you. Even if there was something, it should be with you."
"Who else could have stolen it if not you? You must have hidden..."

"Are you talking about..." Shen Ying suddenly interrupted, "This?" Her one hand suddenly reached out, and they saw a purple gas shining in her palm. The one that she dug out from Little Hong's body during the day indeed.
The man's eyes widened instantly, and that red color in them darkened. He stared directly at the purple gas in Shen Ying's palm and his expression grew even crazier, like his last trace of rationality was gone. "Purple gas... mine! Give it back to me!"
With that said, he rushed over without any cares. Demonic Qi over him increased, and a thick wave of blackness went right towards the two. Seeing that it was almost going to shroud the two, it suddenly stopped, and stopped a meter from Shen Ying as if blocked by some obstacle. Regardless of how the other party mobilized it, it couldn't go an inch further. The man's brows tightened, and with a turn of his hand, a black sword immediately appeared in his hands and stabbed right at the other side.
