I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 194 Ye Henshui: You big bad guy, what are you doing here!

Looking at the snow-white hair in his hand, its texture as smooth as silk, shimmering faintly in the sunlight... Chen Mo could almost immediately tell that this was the hair of that white-haired girl, Ye Henshui!
"No wonder I didn't see Ye Henshui when I went to the brothel last time. I thought she was too embarrassed to show her face. Turns out something happened to her?"

"It seems that the incident in Linglan County was indeed aimed at me..."

Chen Mo's gaze darkened slightly.

He has many female confidantes, but the other party chose the one with whom he had the least intimate relationship, indicating that she did not know him very well, so it can be basically ruled out that it was the crown prince's doing.

That leaves only the demon race.

The demon race has only two objectives in dealing with him—

It's either for the dragon's energy, or it's for You Ji!
At this moment, a figure flew over from the city; it was a disciple of the Kui Xing Sect who had stayed behind at the medical clinic.

"Lord Chen, something has happened again!"

As soon as the man landed, he said urgently, "The people you just cured have suddenly started aging rapidly again, and at an even faster rate than before! It seems they won't last much longer!"

"How can it be?!"

"Hasn't Lord Chen already cured them all?"

Qin Yi and the others exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Mo had anticipated this, saying, "I didn't sense any demonic energy on them, which means it's not just a simple case of demons invading their bodies; they must have been under some kind of curse."

"If we cannot find the caster, it will be in vain to restore life."

Ling Ningzhi frowned and said, "But where are we going to find this caster?"

Chen Mo's lips twitched, and he sneered, "Since they're here for me, they'll naturally give me directions."

chap——

No sooner had he finished speaking than the white hair in his hand suddenly burst into flames.

Accompanied by the flickering firelight, wisps of smoke rose up, hovered in the air for a moment, and then drifted upstream on the Canglan River.

Ling Ningzhi felt a chill run down her spine upon seeing this.

So they were actually being watched by each other all along?!
"This matter involves the demon race and may be dangerous. Perhaps I should go back and inform Uncle Yuan first?"

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "The other party clearly came prepared. If we report back to the capital, I'm afraid those civilians and Ye Henshui will all lose their lives."

The other party may have been worried that Ye Henshui wasn't influential enough, so they dragged the people of Linglan County into the mess.

The fact that dozens of lives were lost without leaving a trace is enough to prove that their methods are cunning... This is both a deterrent and a warning; if they do not cooperate, the consequences will not be as simple as just a few dozen people.

I'm afraid nine out of ten houses in the entire Linglan County will be empty!

Ling Ningzhi's brows furrowed even more. "Then what should we do now?"

Chen Mo said, "Since it's coming for me, only I can handle this... You guys stay here, I'll go after them and see what they're up to."

Ling Ningzhi said with a firm look in her eyes, "I will go with you, so that at least we can look out for each other."

"Yes, Lord Chen, it's far too dangerous for you to be all alone!"

"Let's go too!"

"Exterminating the demon race is the duty that my sect should fulfill!"

The disciples of the Kui Xing Sect spoke up one after another.

Seeing their resolute attitude, Chen Mo didn't try to stop them any further. He took off his waist token and said, "Alright, then leave a few men to guard the city. If anything happens, take my token and go to the capital to find Commander Li."

"Time waits for no one, let's set off now."

"it is good!"

Qin Yi, along with Li Hui, Xu Man, and others, followed Chen Mo as they flew upstream along the Canglan River.

Mu Yueyao had originally wanted to go too, but considering that she was the youngest and had the weakest cultivation, Qin Yi rejected her request and let her stay in Linglan County to take care of the patients.

She stomped her feet angrily, but there was nothing she could do.

As the figures of the group disappeared, Mu Yueyao's eyes gradually turned cold. Looking at the token in her hand engraved with the Qilin emblem, a cold smile appeared on her lips.

"How dare they turn Lady Yuji into that state..."

"Chen Mo, I will make you pay the price!"

At this moment, a female disciple of the Kui Xing Sect walked over, patted Mu Yueyao on the shoulder, and said, "Junior Sister, let's go into the city first and see how those patients are doing."

"Heh, instead of worrying about them, you should worry about yourselves."

"Ok?"

Before the others could react, Mu Yueyao slowly turned around, her eyes gleaming like sapphires.

The moment their eyes met, their consciousness rapidly blurred, and they were plunged into complete darkness.

With a casual wave of her hand, Mu Yueyao threw them into the vast river, then vanished into thin air in a flash.

……

……

Chen Mo chased after that wisp of smoke, flying north along the Canglan River.

The wisp of smoke moved at a moderate speed, always maintaining a proper distance from the group, and would even occasionally stop and circle a few times, as if afraid that they would fall behind.

"That's actually pretty thoughtful..."

Chen Mo's eyebrows twitched.

It traveled for a full five hours until it was completely dark, at which point the wisp of smoke finally stopped and slowly dissipated.

"call--"

Qin Yi and the others had beads of sweat on their foreheads and were breathing rapidly.

The wisp of smoke kept bobbing back and forth on both sides of the riverbank, so they couldn't ride horses and could only rely on their agility to keep up. This long-distance running consumed a great deal of their true energy.

Even a fifth-rank martial artist was finding it difficult to withstand.

In contrast, Chen Mo and Ling Ningzhi remained unfazed, which only increased their awe of them.

"Take the pill and meditate in place for half a quarter of an hour."

Chen Mo took out a bottle of high-grade Spirit Gathering Pills and tossed it over.

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

Qin Yi reached out and took the pills, distributed them to the group, and then began to meditate to recover.

Taking advantage of this moment, Chen Mo looked around and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Although it was already late, his eyesight was still sharp enough to detect any slight movement.

This place is close to the northern region, overgrown with weeds and sparsely populated. Not far away, there is a low, barren mountain that, under the moonlight, looks like a giant beast lying in wait.

"This place is a thousand miles away from Tiandu City. Even if there are demons lying in ambush, reinforcements will not be able to arrive in time."

"The reason we didn't take action in Linglan County is because we were worried it would attract the Empress's attention?"

"It seems they've really gone to great lengths to deal with me."

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and took out a compass from his pocket.

The compass is dark gold in color, with a pointer in the center, through which a jade-like halo flows. The inner dial is engraved with the Twenty-Eight Mansions and the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Era, while the outer dial features raised patterns of mountains and rivers across the nine provinces.

Two golden yin-yang bells hung on the outermost layer.

The Eight Treasures Compass was a reward issued by the system after completing a mission in Nan Tu Prefecture.

It can be used not only for treasure hunting, but also for geomancy, divination, and fortune telling, and its coverage is extremely wide.

click-

Chen Mo poured his true essence into it, and the compass lit up with a golden glow. Accompanied by a gear-like sound, the inner and outer discs rotated in opposite directions.

A moment later, the three trigrams Zhen, Kan, and Li began to tremble continuously, and a faint black mist rose up.

bell--

The Yin-Yang Bell shook violently, emitting a piercing sound.

The compass needle at the center points towards the desolate mountains.

"A celestial star has fallen, the earth's veins have cracked, the white tiger is mourning, and the green dragon has broken its horn... These are truly ominous signs!"

Ling Ningzhi's pupils contracted slightly. Tian Shu Pavilion was proficient in divination, so she could naturally see just how ominous the divination was!

"It seems they've laid a trap, just waiting to lure me in."

Chen Mo's eyes were deep and unfathomable as he walked towards the desolate mountain. "I want to see just how ominous this omen is!"

At this moment, Qin Yi and the others finished their meditation and got up to follow.

The group hurried through the dense forest, their feet barely touching the ground. Moonlight streamed through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting interplay of light and shadow on the ground.

All around was quiet, except for the rustling sound of the night wind passing through the branches.

They sped along the mountain path into the valley, not noticing anything unusual along the way, not even a trace of demonic energy.

The more this was the case, the more solemn everyone's expressions became. The fact that they could hide it so well meant that the danger here was probably far beyond their imagination!

Ring ring ring——

Just then, the Eight Treasures Compass in Chen Mo's hand rang again, the sound was very urgent and even more piercing than before!
They walked forward for several dozen meters until the dense forest came to an end, and a bright and open view opened up before them.

In the open space ahead lay a large lake, its clear waters reflecting the moonlight like a mirror set in the ground.

In the middle of the lake stood a wooden stake, and a figure dressed in a gray robe was bound to it with iron chains. Long white hair hung down, giving the figure a somewhat tragic and beautiful appearance under the moonlight.

It was Ye Henshui!
……

……

"So Master didn't lie to me back then, that Azure Jade really is a treasure..."

Ye Henshui lowered his head, his red agate eyes filled with exhaustion and weariness.

Since being captured by that mysterious demon clan, she has not eaten or drunk anything for days, nor has she slept a wink, and her mind is on edge to the extreme.

The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Ye Henshui had no power to resist that demoness at all... If it weren't for the "sect token" Qingling Jade bestowed by her master, she would probably have been possessed by the demon race long ago!

Even if the power of this spirit jade is strong, it still has its limits.

After persisting for three days, the protective blue light was completely exhausted and collapsed.

She thought she was doomed, but the demoness didn't harm her. Instead, she sealed her vital energy, tied her up here, and took a lock of her hair.

"That witch has laid a trap here, probably trying to lure Chen Mo here by using me as bait, right?"

"Hehe, I'm afraid her plan is going to fail."

"Chen Mo and I aren't even friends. To be precise, if it weren't for our connection as the Holy Maiden, we should be enemies... After all, I was the one who tried to use the Gu on him..."

"Chen Mo and the Holy Maiden have always been worried that I would tell our master, which is why they have bullied me time and time again... If I were to die like this, he would probably feel relieved, right?"

Ye Henshui bit her lip lightly, her pretty face completely pale.

There is great terror between life and death, and even the strongest are not immune to it. It is impossible to say that one is not afraid.

But since they've fallen into the hands of this demon, their fate is already sealed. Rather than being possessed, dying here is not so bad.

"It's all that big bad guy's fault, otherwise I wouldn't be in this situation."

"Unfortunately, the Azure Jade Scripture was ultimately not perfected. Master, I have disappointed you..."

Just as her consciousness was fading, she suddenly heard a bell ringing from the distant woods.

"Ok?"

Ye Henshui roused himself, looked up, and his expression froze.

A group of people emerged from the woods, and the one in the lead was tall and imposing, with dark patterns embroidered on his black robe, and a face as beautiful as jade that exuded a refined and noble air.

"Chen... Chen Mo?!"

"He actually... came?"

Ye Henshui wondered if he was seeing things because he was so hungry.

Chen Mo noticed her at this moment, and with a flash, he leaped towards the center of the lake.

"Wait!" Ye Henshui exclaimed in alarm, "Don't come any closer, there's something in the lake..."

Before he could finish speaking, whirlpools appeared on the surface of the lake, and layers of waves surged like a raging torrent.

boom--

The lake splits into two, creating a water wall several meters high!
Amidst the billowing mist, a massive, winding shadow burst forth, its gaping maw lunging toward Chen Mo!

Chen Mo was prepared. Lightning crackled around his body, and his speed suddenly increased. In an instant, he disappeared from the spot!

In the blink of an eye, he traversed a hundred feet and arrived in front of Ye Henshui.

He drew his shattered jade sword and slashed at the wooden pillar—

when--

The clanging sound of metal striking metal rang out, and the immense force made his wrist go numb.

Runes lit up on the wooden pillar, forming a semi-transparent light shield that isolated Ye Henshui from it.

Immediately afterwards, a huge shadow loomed over from behind, and the stench of the strong wind could be smelled!

"careful!"

Ye Henshui's pupils contracted.

Chen Mo neither dodged nor evaded, but instead his body was engulfed in flames. Flames, like glass, shot into the sky, forcing the massive shadow back.

"Sigh, it's too hot..."

"..."

Chen Mo turned his head to look.

A giant python hangs above the water, its entire body covered in black scales. Its triangular head is like a small mountain, with the top scales bulging on both sides and the character "巳" (si) imprinted in the middle.

"The Twelve Earthly Branches?" Chen Mo raised an eyebrow slightly.

"You have good eyesight." The Serpent's dark green vertical pupils stared at him, its voice hoarse as it asked, "You're Chen Mo?"

Chen Mo nodded and said, "It's me."

The snake asked again, "Was my son killed by you?"

Chen Mo frowned and said, "I've killed countless demons, which one of them is your son?"

Noticing the jet-black scales, he finally realized, "You mean, that half-transformed blood dragon?"

"It's really you!"

The eyes of the Snake grew increasingly cold and sinister.

Compared to other races, the snake race reproduces extremely quickly and has no shortage of offspring, but precisely because of this, their bloodline is diluted to an extremely thin degree.

The snake demon that Chen Mo killed was the only one among the last three generations to possess "dragon blood"!

Although it is only a tiny sliver, it represents infinite possibilities!
That's why Jue Tong put it in charge of refining the dragon energy at the bottom of the river. This was originally a very safe task, and it was about to be completed when it was killed halfway through, and the entire Geng Group was wiped out!

The culprit is the man right in front of you!
While the two were talking, Ling Ningzhi and the others had already flown over and stood beside Chen Mo, confronting the giant black python.

"What's the use of having more people?"

The snake sneered.

Countless whirlpools surged on the lake below, and one python after another burst out of the water, standing tall and proud. Dozens of vertical pupils lit up in the darkness, and the intense demonic aura made it difficult to breathe!
The snake's body slithered and coiled, encircling the group like a city wall, its enormous head looking down at them from above.

"Lord Jue Ning has ordered that only Chen Mo be spared, and all the others be killed!"

"hiss--"

The snake demon flicked its tongue, its eyes gleaming with excitement and greed.

Having spent years in the desolate northern region, my mouth was practically bland from the taste of food. Finally, I can taste the tender flesh of a human!

Clang——

Qin Yi and the others turned pale, but showed no fear and all drew their weapons.

There is no turning back now; we can only fight to the death!
Chen Mo shook the long sword in his hand and said, "Zhi'er, you can handle the other snake demons. I'll go and kill the biggest one."

"it is good."

Ling Ningzhi nodded in response.

She formed thunder patterns with her hands and took steps in the manner of Yu, her moon-white Taoist robe fluttering even without wind.

"Thunder City's twelve gates reflect back upon the Niwan Palace..."

Dark clouds gathered on the horizon, temporarily obscuring the moonlight, plunging the world into gloom, with serpentine lightning flashing within the clouds.

The immense pressure made the air feel incredibly heavy.

"Thunderbolts originate from the fire in one's heart; a single thought of purity can empty all eons!"

Crimson lips uttered a spell—

Boom!

The towering lightning instantly submerged the entire lake!

Plasma spread through the lake, the air filled with the smell of burning, accompanied by the serpent demon's piercing howls!
The barrier that had trapped Ye Henshui had now become a protective shield; otherwise, it would have been reduced to ashes by the lightning strike!

"This is……"

A flicker of fear flashed in the eyes of the snake.

Back then, the demon race wreaked havoc across the Nine Provinces, and the Great Yuan Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. It wasn't until the three great holy sects intervened that the demons were driven out, and the Tian Shu Pavilion played a crucial role in this... Their terrifying lightning magic is a nightmare that every demon will never forget in their lifetime!
"Lord Jue Ning never said that he would deal with the successor of the Tian Shu Pavilion!"

"Stop looking, your opponent is me." A cold voice rang out.

The snake came to its senses, its pupils reflecting the brilliant blue blade light, like a shooting star!
In an instant, the blade arrived!
Clang——

The Jade Shattering Blade, imbued with sharp blade energy, slashed at the snake's head, unleashing a series of sparks that were dazzlingly bright in the darkness!

However, even with such a sharp strike, it only left a deep cut on the scales, with only a trickle of blood seeping out, and did not cause any real damage.

The snake demon clan is strong precisely because of its armor-like scales.

The same was true for that blood dragon back then; martial artists of the same realm simply couldn't break through its defenses!
"If it were the lightning techniques of the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion, I might be somewhat wary. But what can a mere martial artist do to me?"

The Snake's attention was entirely focused on Ling Ningzhi.

As long as we kill this Taoist nun, the others are no threat at all!
"is it?"

Chen Mo's eyes were cold, with a hint of mockery.

"Ok?"

A sense of crisis inexplicably arose in the heart of the Snake.

The next moment, a spark burst forth from the blade wound, and blazing flames erupted from the gaps in the scales, instantly engulfing the massive body!

That last strike was only meant to break through the armor!

Burying the flame into flesh and blood is the real killing move!
"Ahhh!"

The snake's body twisted, emitting a mournful howl!
In the extreme pain of being engulfed by flames, it instinctively burrowed into the lake, hoping to extinguish the flames with the help of the water, but it completely forgot that the entire lake was covered by lightning!

boom!
The purple plasma instantly engulfed it!

Under the dual erosion of thunder and fire, the Snake's physical body is on the verge of collapse!
Chen Mo opened his palm, and a golden spear appeared out of thin air. The Azure Dragon Shattering Star Force was poured into it, emitting a series of ringing sounds, and the spearhead was emitting boundless energy!

"The flames of fire surge from the center of the chest, burning the yang energy; through three thousand cycles of birth and death..."

"Eternal damnation!"

Swah——

He took a step, and his figure suddenly disappeared.

A golden ray pierced the sky, trailing a long, fiery tail, like a rainbow piercing the sun, and went straight into that terrifying, dark green vertical pupil!
The air fell silent for a moment.

The snake was stiff and motionless, its head covered with cracks.

Then, it exploded with a bang!
The massive, winding body, stretching for dozens of meters, collapsed with a deafening roar, crashing into the lake, turning the water a dark red with a shower of blood!

? !
Qin Yi and the others stood frozen in place, like statues.

I had expected a fierce battle and was prepared to fight to the death.

In less than half an incense stick's time, dozens of snake demons, along with the terrifying giant python, were slaughtered! From beginning to end, they didn't even have a chance to intervene!

"Is this the true value of being at the top of the Azure Cloud Ranking?"

The group exchanged glances, their throats feeling dry.

Chen Mo, dragging his spear, flew to Ye Henshui and said, "Don't worry, I'll get you out of here... But speaking of which, this demonic python isn't that strong, so how did it manage to lure you here?"

Ye Henshui suddenly came to his senses and said urgently, "It wasn't the one that captured me! Chen Mo, hurry up and leave! Don't worry about me! That woman is coming soon!"

"woman?"

Chen Mo frowned slightly.

pop, pop, pop—

At that moment, a round of applause broke out.

"Tsk tsk, how touching!"

"You two risked your lives for each other, and you still say you have no relationship?"

Everyone turned to look, and saw a slender figure slowly walking out from the dense forest, a faint smile on her pretty face.

"Yueyao? What brings you here?" Qin Yi asked in confusion. "Didn't I tell you to stay in the city and take care of those patients?"

Mu Yueyao glanced at him and said indifferently, "Noisy."

She raised her delicate hand and pointed into the distance.

Qin Yi was struck dumb, coughing up a mouthful of blood and falling into the lake, his fate unknown!

"Senior Brother Qin!!"

The disciples of the Kui Xing Sect exclaimed in surprise.

Xu Man realized something, her eyes filled with disbelief, "You're not Yueyao! Who are you?!"

Mu Yueyao ignored her, looked at the dozens of snake corpses, shook her head and muttered to herself, "They were only a moment late, and they were all killed. They're really useless... Oh well, the master doesn't keep useless people. They're dead, so be it."

She looked up at Chen Mo, who had a calm expression, and tilted her head, saying, "You should have already guessed why I've come, right?"

Chen Mo nodded: "I guessed it, but I'm a little surprised. How could you conceal your demonic aura so well?"

The timing of both Ye Henshui's disappearance and the events that happened in Linglan County is too coincidental.

Chen Mo immediately suspected that there was something fishy going on inside the Kui Xing Sect.

However, he could not sense any demonic energy, and even his Golden Eyes of Truth could not detect anything unusual.

"It's very simple, I won't mind telling you."

Mu Yueyao pointed to her sapphire-like eyes and said with a smile, "This is a divine power bestowed upon us by the Lord. It possesses various unique abilities. As long as we temporarily detach from our physical bodies and inhabit our eyes with our divine souls, we can suppress demonic energy to the greatest extent."

Chen Mo suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I didn't expect the Demon Eye to have such an effect."

Mu Yueyao said, "The Lord's methods are beyond your imagination... With your talent, as long as you are willing to come back with me, the Lord will definitely nurture you greatly, and entering the Grandmaster realm will be as easy as drinking water."

"Besides..."

Mu Yueyao's eyes sparkled, her voice alluring and seductive: "The taste of our demon race will absolutely leave you utterly captivated... They adore your handsome scholarly appearance, they'll definitely line up to give you their pleasure, with beauties from all races every day, a different one each time..."

Because of the short time she had known Chen Mo, her understanding of him was limited, and the opinions others had about him were mixed.

However, there is one thing that everyone agrees on.

This Lord Chen is a lecher!
"..."

Chen Mo shook his head. Did they really think I was some kind of expert?
Although he occasionally lets his small head dominate his big head, that's only in front of the woman he likes... Unless the golden leaves flow back into his brain and a high-level player controls his thoughts, who would believe the demon race's nonsense?
"A challenge to hold back laughter? Then I lose."

"Get out of here, I'm not interested in animals."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yueyao's expression immediately turned cold.

"I was going to give you a chance, but it seems you're going to have to suffer the consequences!"
