Divine Seal: I am the Demon God Emperor's beloved granddaughter

Chapter 88 Arsenic Coated in Honey

Sixty-one people successfully completed their mission without seeking any help and returned safely to the Exorcism Pass.

"Although the two bloodthirsty betas were killed by the Golden-feathered Rocs I summoned, I wouldn't have been able to summon the Golden-feathered Rocs without their use of the Radiant Light of Heaven and Earth to transfer their spiritual power to me."

"So I want to divide the merit points for killing Bloodthirsty Beta equally among them first, and then we six can divide them equally among ourselves."

"how?"

After returning, the two demon-hunting teams held a short meeting together, and Bai Xi took the lead in proposing to distribute the merit points to Long Haochen and Han Yu.

“I have no objection. I didn’t help much at the time, so it’s fine if we don’t get any more.”

"They should be given some."

Bai Xi's group members all agreed without objection.

However, Long Haochen disagreed.

"invalid objection."

Bai Xi forcefully transferred 666 merit points to each of the two, and then looked at Lin Xin and said.

"Bring out the corpse of Bloodthirsty Beta first. I want to see what they were willing to risk their lives to protect."

As soon as Bloodthirsty Beta's corpse was released, Haoyue tried to pounce on it, but unfortunately, it had just exhausted too much energy and couldn't move at all.

"It should be this box. Something that can be guarded by two seventh-tier demons must be extraordinary. I wonder what good things are inside."

Lin Xin removed the mysterious box from the neck of the first bloodthirsty beta, placed it on the table, and rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"What should we do with this?"

Bai Xi didn't open the box rashly; no one knew what was inside. There's a saying, "It's not scarcity that's worrisome, but inequality." If there was only one precious treasure inside, it seemed awkward to give it to anyone.

Long Haochen understood Bai Xi's concerns, so he suggested:
"Why don't we just hand it over and let the alliance decide its ownership?"

"I think it's a good idea, what about you guys?"

Bai Xi looked at the others.

Since the box was technically obtained by Bai Xi, and she didn't mind handing it over, others would be even less concerned.

"Okay, let's hand it over and get some good stuff back from the Alliance."

Bai Xi immediately handed the box, intact, to Sheng Yue through their team leader, thus avoiding danger for the first time.

No one knew that the box contained both a priceless treasure and a death warrant.

"The Light Elemental Spirit has entered the exorcism stage. This is a treasure to humans. Humans will surely be unable to resist the temptation of desire and will fuse with the Light Elemental Spirit."

"Once they merge, we can unleash our grand plan. We'll be able to crush the Exorcism Pass, capture Austin Griffin, avenge Sylph, and annihilate humanity!"

Anluo and Saigong looked towards the direction of the Exorcism Pass, as if they could already see their scheme succeeding.

"But in the Demon Exorcism Pass, besides that old codger from the Assassin's Temple, there seems to be an even more powerful Archmage. Are the two of us really a match for him?"

Sai Gong, whose cultivation was weaker, was a little worried. He still remembered how badly he had been beaten a few days ago.

They even believed that the Ilex summoned by Bai Xi was a real ninth-tier mage!
"Rest assured, His Majesty has granted my request for assistance and dispatched Ramer and Bairon to help us."

"They are the 40th and 51st pillar demons, stronger than us. We've got this in the bag! But can we really control them? They're even stronger."

"Why bother with all that? We're all working for His Majesty. The Light Elemental Elves and Austin Griffin both owe their credit to us, so we can't escape responsibility."

"Now we just wait for them to absorb that light element spirit!"

None of the people at the Exorcism Gate had imagined that the Light Elemental Spirit was actually a poison wrapped in honey, seemingly delicious but actually deadly.

Yes, the box that Bai Xi and the others handed over contained a rare light element spirit.

Upon seeing that it was a Light Elemental Spirit, Saint Moon was trying to figure out a way to return the Light Elemental Spirit to Bai Xi or Long Haochen in a seemingly fair manner.

Bai Xi and Long Haochen were unaware of all this. After handing over the items, they settled down to cultivate and rest.

"Wow——"

I was woken up early in the morning by Chen Ying'er's crying.

Who would have thought that the pink piglet Chen Ying'er summoned on the battlefield of intercepting grain was her own summoned beast?

Chen Ying'er cried and made a fuss over this, but after Cai'er reminded her, she discovered the extraordinary nature of the Mirror Treasure Pig and her sorrow turned to joy.

One of the abilities of the Mirror God Pig is that as long as it eats a magical beast's magic crystal, it can simulate the appearance of the magical beast and maintain all of the magical beast's skills for 10 minutes.

This also resulted in their team having two major consumers of magic crystals: Haoyue and Mirror Treasure Pig Maidou.

"Looks like I'll have to start refining more pills to sell for money, otherwise I really won't be able to afford to raise this little pink pig."

Bai Xi poked the chubby little pig and said to herself.

Soon news came that they were to assemble at the training ground. When they saw the familiar box, they vaguely guessed the purpose of the assembly.

It turned out that this was a reward for their successful completion of the grain interception mission; Bai Xi and Long Haochen each received 500 merit points. 500 merit points wasn't much for Bai Xi, but it was enough to give to the other team members.

Besides this, there's the stuff in the box.

It's important to know that the group included not only the ten newly formed Demon Hunter teams, but also the Radiant Angels team.

"Light Elemental Spirit!"

When Long Haochen saw that the box contained elite light elements, he honestly regretted it a little. He should have kept the box.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Bai Xi obtained one before and then gave it away to Bai Yue without a second thought. In reality, this item is quite rare; it's just that Bai Xi was incredibly lucky.

But more than anything, there was pity for the light elemental spirit, because this imprisoned and bound light elemental spirit was in rather bad shape.

"Shut up! Or do you want to fight me?"

Hearing the mocking laughter coming from the shadows, accusing them of picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, Bai Xi swept her gaze over in a deep voice, and immediately there was no sound at all.

Every one of the sixty-one members of the Demon Hunter Squad knew that Bai Xi's strength surpassed theirs. Anyone who fought Bai Xi would be utterly crushed.

Although many members of the Radiant Angels were silenced, they had still witnessed Bai Xi summoning a ninth-tier powerhouse to kill the demon god Xi'er, and were somewhat afraid of her.

"There is only one Light Element Sprite, and only one person can receive the reward. It all depends on your luck and your understanding of the Light Element. Now, all those whose elemental attribute is Light, please step forward."

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Haochen pulled Bai Xi out of the line.

This piece incorporates elements from the anime's plot, but it primarily follows the original story. I wrote this because I came across some anime videos and found this particular plot point particularly interesting, which inspired me to write it.

Apart from Fengxiu, the seventy-two demonic pillars of the Divine Seal are basically combinations of the seventy-two demonic pillars of Solomon, and it is easy to find the corresponding ones in them.

Here, I've picked two from the seventy-two demons of Solomon. These two shouldn't have appeared in the original work, so let's just call them my own creations.

Raum: The 40th of the 72 pillars, its form is that of a raven, but it can also transform into a human form upon receiving a summoner's command. It knows the past, present, and future, can predict the future, and can also quell the hatred between enemies.

Balam: The 51st demon in the 72 pillars, with three heads—a human head, a bull's head, and a ram's head—flaming eyes, a snake's tail, riding a raging bear, and a voice like a horse. He is knowledgeable about the past and present, can foresee the future, grant wisdom, and make people invisible.
