I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 196 The Empress's Jealousy Has Overturned! The Mysterious Demon Lord of the Great Chariot!

?

He Yuzhi stood there blankly, still a little dazed.

After receiving Chen Mo's message, she followed the aura all the way here, initially thinking that the demon race wanted to take revenge, but she found that this was not the case...

The other party seems to have a strong interest in Chen Mo; even the mysterious demon lord went so far as to personally intervene and snatch him away!

Then the Imperial Concubine and the Daoist Master of Tian Shu Pavilion arrived one after another.

One fought tooth and nail for Chen Mo, while the other simply kidnapped him...

"what is happening?"

"Even if Your Majesty values ​​talent, surely you wouldn't need to attend in person?"

"Besides, Mo'er and Daozun are clearly completely unrelated, so how did they get connected?"

He Yuzhi was filled with questions.

boom--

A low, muffled sound came from the horizon.

He Yuzhi looked up and saw that the crescent moon was riddled with holes, filled with voids, rapidly collapsing inward before suddenly exploding!
The fragmented moon fragments resembled fiery meteors, scattering in all directions with fiery tails, scalding countless holes in the night sky.

The entire night sky was as if a curtain had been torn down, revealing its true form... The moon was bright and the stars were few, the sky was high and the clouds were light, as if nothing had happened, and everything just now was just an illusion.

Only then did He Yuzhi realize with a start that the Demon Lord had not transformed into the bright moon; it was merely the eye she used for observation.

That boundless sky is the projection of her true form!
"Is this the strongest being of the demon race?"

He Yuzhi felt a chill run down her spine.

This method was completely beyond her imagination!
call--

A night breeze suddenly arose.

Amidst the blazing fireworks, a figure in white descended from the sky.

Her plain-colored skirt fluttered in the wind, her blue-green eyes were as calm as a lake, and an amorphous, ghostly light floated beside her. Just one glance was enough to draw one's soul into it.

"This humble servant greets Your Majesty."

He Yuzhi hurriedly bowed in greeting.

"No gift."

Yu Youhan tucked the ghostly light into the void and asked softly, "Why are you here?"

He Yuzhi answered truthfully, "I received a message from Mo'er and was worried that he might be in danger, so I followed him all the way here. I never expected things to escalate like this..."

She hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

There are only a handful of supreme beings in the entire Nine Provinces. Although she has not reached that level, she has heard of it to some extent... There is an upper limit to cultivation. The higher the realm, the more difficult it is to improve even a little. Therefore, the gap between the strongest beings cannot be too large.

This is also why the Three Saints Sect and the imperial court have always maintained a peaceful relationship.

As long as one has not transcended the limitations, there is nothing to worry about.

As the only known supreme being among the demon race, the Demon Lord is at least on the same level as the Three Saints. Even with the Empress's strength, dealing with him would likely be somewhat troublesome.

Yu Youhan shook his head and said, "It's just an avatar. I can destroy it with a wave of my hand. It's just a pity that I couldn't lure the real body here... By the way, are you alright? Did the aftershocks hurt you?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am well and at peace," He Yuzhi said, her voice filled with trepidation.

The Empress used to be cold and aloof, but now she's inexplicably much warmer towards her...

"That's good."

Yu Youhan looked around. "Where's Chen Mo? I don't see him anywhere."

He Yuzhi answered truthfully: "Just now, when Your Highness was fighting the Demon Lord, the Daoist Master of Tian Shu Pavilion suddenly arrived, said some strange things, and then took Mo'er away..."

"..."

Yu Youhan's eyebrows twitched, and her voice was low, "You mean, Ji Hongxiu has kidnapped Chen Mo again?!"

"Yes."

He Yuzhi nodded.

Wait a minute...

What does it mean to "abduct" again?

Yu Youhan narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent filling them.

Since Ji Hongxiu dared to openly take people away, it means she had made thorough preparations and would definitely not be found easily.

Moreover, when she tried to kill Ji Hongxiu last time, she was suddenly bound by the red ribbon, almost putting herself in danger... So she can't act rashly before figuring out how this thing works...

"Am I just going to stand by and watch her do whatever she wants to Chen Mo?!"

This feeling of being restricted made Yu Youhan extremely frustrated, and her anger intensified, inadvertently revealing a trace of oppressive power.

He Yuzhi, standing to the side, was pale and her legs felt weak.

Noticing her discomfort, Yu Youhan took a deep breath and suppressed the murderous intent surging within him.

"It's not safe here. I'll take you back first."

"Thank you, ma'am..."

Yu Youhan placed her hand on He Yuzhi's shoulder, pierced through the void, and her figure vanished without a trace.

Throughout the entire process, she showed no interest whatsoever in even glancing at anyone else.

……

……

The moonlight was serene, and all was quiet.

The members of the Kui Xing Sect looked at each other in bewilderment.

What happened tonight was truly beyond their expectations...

With Jue Ning killed, Xu Man's aging body returned to normal. She came to her senses and looked around, "Where are Senior Brother Qin and Junior Sister?"

? !
The others then realized what was happening.

Qin Yi and Mu Yueyao were seen floating on the lake, their fate unknown.

They quickly pulled the two men out of the water and dragged them to the shore. Finding that they were still breathing, they breathed a sigh of relief and slowly channeled their true energy into their bodies.

After a while.

Qin Yi opened his eyes and suddenly sat up.

However, the intense pain caused his body to hunch over, and he spat out a stream of foul blood.

"Senior Brother Qin, your internal organs are ruptured and your meridians are damaged. You should not move around for now." Li Hui hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"Where is that demon?" Qin Yi asked, his brows furrowed and his voice hoarse.

"They must be dead..."

Xu Man recounted the events that had just occurred to Qin Yi.

After hearing this, Qin Yi's head was buzzing.

What was initially thought to be a simple demon-slaying event unexpectedly involved three supreme experts, with even a grandmaster becoming a mere background figure...

"Just who is Brother Chen to warrant the intervention of three supreme beings?"

"That demon didn't kill me, otherwise I'd already be a corpse. I guess it's because of Brother Chen..."

"Oh, right, junior sister..."

Qin Yi turned his head to look at Mu Yueyao lying on the ground.

She was pale, her eyes were closed, and she was still unconscious.

"No wonder Yueyao has seemed a bit strange these past few days; she's been possessed by a demon!"

"It seems that the loss of life among the people in the city was also her doing. She deliberately told us about this in order to lure Lord Chen into her trap!"

"The demon race is indeed cunning and ruthless!"

"It's ridiculous that we thought we were here to help, but we almost ended up harming Lord Chen..."

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, filled with shame and remorse.

Xu Man grasped Mu Yueyao's wrist and carefully examined her injuries.

"Strange, Yueyao's body is perfectly normal, why hasn't she woken up yet?"

"Could it be that the demon clan did something?"

The martial arts practitioners stared at each other, at a loss for what to do.

If it's a physical injury, they might have some experience, but when it comes to the soul, they're completely clueless.

At that moment, a slightly weak voice came:

"How about... I take a look?"

"Ok?"

Everyone turned around and saw a white-haired woman walking slowly towards them.

Chen Mo's purpose in coming here was to save her, so their relationship was self-evident.

Qin Yi struggled to his feet, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, young lady."

Ye Henshui approached Mu Yueyao, a beam of blue light flashing between his brows and landing on her.

A moment later, the blue light stopped.

Ye Henshui looked somewhat tired. He took out a bottle of pills from his bosom and handed it to Qin Yi, saying, "She was possessed by a demon, which caused damage to her soul, but it's not serious... Grind this 'Awakening Pill' into powder and decoct it, take it once a day, and she should wake up in five days."

Qin Yi accepted the pill and bowed again, saying, "Thank you for saving me, young lady."

The other disciples also bowed and said, "Thank you, young lady."

"It's alright, after all, you were injured because of me."

"Besides..."

Ye Henshui's face flushed slightly as she whispered, "Chen Mo's friend is my friend too, it's only right that I help out..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yi immediately understood and said with a smile, "After learning that the young lady was in trouble, Brother Chen disregarded everything else. Even though he knew it was a trap set by demons, he still jumped in without hesitation... Brother Chen's feelings for the young lady are truly touching!"

"You've misunderstood, he and I aren't in that kind of relationship..."

Ye Henshui waved his hands repeatedly.

Although I denied it verbally, my heart was beating faster than usual.

Qin Yi assumed she was just shy and didn't continue the topic.

“The young lady has just escaped danger and is still quite weak. Let’s rest for a while and then head back to the capital together.”

"Alright."

Ye Henshui nodded.

Then he sat cross-legged and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

At this moment, Xu Man, who was always very outgoing, came over and sat down next to her, smiling and saying, "You are so beautiful, young lady, with fair skin like a snow lotus. No wonder Lord Chen is so fond of you!"

"He and I really aren't..."

Ye Henshui wanted to explain, but Xu Man said to herself, "Lord Chen and Senior Brother Qin are good friends, so naturally they are our elder brothers. In that case, it's not wrong to call you sister-in-law... Sister-in-law, what is your surname?"

"Sister-in-law?!"

Ye Henshui was at a loss, her face burning hot, her eyes filled with embarrassment and panic.

Xu Man sighed softly and said, "When will I be able to meet such a handsome, capable, and courageous man, like my sister-in-law, who will stand up for me in times of crisis? It's truly enviable..."

Ye Henshui bit her lip lightly.

Thinking of the sense of security she felt when Chen Mo held her in his arms, her eyes involuntarily became a little dazed.

"That big bad guy is not my true love!"

"If he's going to bully me, he'll bully me to the end. Why is he being so nice to me?"

"It makes me feel so confused and upset, it's really annoying..."

……

wasteland.

Crimson Peak.

The majestic peaks are surrounded by mountains, and the dark red cliffs resemble a blood-red blade piercing the sky.

Inside the mountain, in the study, an octagonal wall lamp cast a dim candlelight, pulling out dancing shadows on the floor.

Behind the silk screen.

A tall figure sat back in a chair.

She was over eight feet tall and wore a pleated Confucian robe. Because of her great height, the loose robe looked tight on her, highlighting her curves perfectly.

Her long legs had beautiful lines, taut but not slender, exuding just the right amount of healthy, fleshy physique.

The hem of her dress barely covered her knees, revealing a section of her plump, smooth calves with fair, translucent skin that seemed to glow.

"Your subordinate is incompetent, and I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"

A semi-transparent ghost lay on the ground; it was Jue Ning, whose physical body had just been destroyed.

She underestimated He Yuzhi's strength, resulting in the destruction of her physical body. If it weren't for the demonic eyes bestowed upon her by the master protecting her soul, she would probably have been completely annihilated by now!

"Tell me, what exactly happened?"

The tall woman had her back to her, her voice calm and devoid of any emotion.

"After arriving in Zhongzhou, I attempted to contact Lady Youji..."

Jue Ning recounted everything that had happened in the past few days in detail.

"After arranging everything, I had the snake lie in ambush in the lake to lure Chen Mo into a trap, but he was instead injured by that martial arts master..."

"And then, the Lord should know what happened next."

After he finished speaking, the room fell into dead silence.

The tall woman was silent for a moment, then said, "You mean, You Ji's soul was sealed inside a black cat, used by Chen Mo for his amusement and debauchery?"

Jue Ning nodded and said, "That's right, I witnessed it with my own eyes. Lady Youji seemed to have been tamed, and she looked exceptionally... exceptionally obsequious..."

She hesitated for a moment, then swallowed the word "slutty."

The tall woman sighed and said, "It seems that sending You Ji to Tiandu City on a mission was indeed a mistake... Although she is a bit foolish and always makes people angry, my people are not people that anyone can touch..."

Jue Ning prostrated herself on the ground, not daring to raise her head.

She knew that her lord was now beyond furious.

"I haven't investigated Chen Mo's background yet, so I can't be sure if he possesses dragon energy," Jue Ning said in a low voice.

The tall woman shook her head and said, "The fact that Yu Youhan is so nervous is enough to explain everything. Chen Mo is the destined one, without a doubt."

"Is that Yu Youhan very strong?" Jue Ning asked with some curiosity.

The tall woman said frankly, "She is very strong. She destroyed one of my clones in just three breaths and almost traced back to the location of my true body... Moreover, I can sense that she seems to be holding back something and did not use her full strength."

? !
Jue Ning was filled with fear.

She had only heard that the Imperial Noble Consort of the Great Yuan Dynasty was very powerful, but she did not expect her to be this powerful!
"However, there is no need to be too nervous. If it really comes down to a life-or-death struggle, the outcome is still uncertain."

"Besides, there's no need for me to confront her directly."

An ancient book says: "In all the methods of attack and war, those who follow the easy path will defeat the enemy. First, make yourself invincible, and then wait for the enemy to become vulnerable..."

The tall woman spoke slowly and deliberately.

Jue Ning, feeling dizzy from listening, said, "Please forgive my ignorance, and I hope Your Majesty will enlighten me."

The tall woman frowned and said unhappily, "I always tell you to read more books, but you all ignore me. Do you think that the human race can occupy the fertile land of the Nine Provinces and continue its fortune for ten thousand years just by relying on its fists?"

"Big mistake!"

"They relied on their pens, their writing, and the knowledge and wisdom passed down through generations, constantly evolving and innovating!"

"While our people were still eating raw meat and drinking blood, the human race had already started cultivating the land with slash and burn, and reclaiming wasteland! While our people were still fighting each other for a bite of food, the human race had already established rules and order, using etiquette to regulate behavior and laws to distinguish right from wrong!"

"If you fall behind even once, you will fall behind at every step; if you fall behind, you will be vulnerable to attack!"

"And these books that record the wisdom of our predecessors are the ten-thousand-mile-long city walls that protect the human race's city-states!"

The woman's tone unusually wavered slightly as she spoke at length.

Jue Ning blinked blankly.

I don't understand it, but it seems really impressive...

"..."

The tall woman rubbed her temples and said helplessly, "Forget it, it's pointless to say anything, it's a waste of breath... My point is very simple: even the strongest enemy has weaknesses. As long as you seize those weaknesses, you can win without a fight."

Jue Ning asked, "Does Your Majesty know Yu Youhan's weakness?"

The tall woman did not answer, but a smile played on her lips, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

"If he only possessed dragon energy, it would have been taken away by Yu Youhan long ago, and he wouldn't be alive now."

"It's one thing for Yu Youhan not to make a move, but he's actually quite concerned... Chen Mo, what secrets are you hiding?"

……

……

The night was deep.

The candlelight in the bedroom was dim.

Chen Mo and Ling Ningzhi sat upright on the edge of the bed, like well-behaved elementary school students.

Ji Hongxiu leaned against the window, her arms wrapped around her shoulders, her gaze shifting back and forth between the two of them.

After a long silence, he spoke:
"Qingxuan..."

"Ok?"

Ling Ningzhi was startled. "Master, what's wrong?"

Ji Hongxiu narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "When did this happen?"

"..."

Ling Ningzhi naturally understood what she meant. She lowered her head and murmured, "Just a few days ago..."

Ji Hongxiu turned to look at Chen Mo, her willow-leaf eyes turning cold. "I won't hold your entanglement against you two, but how dare you push your luck? You're capable of anything!"

She could tell at a glance that Ling Ningzhi's vital essence had dissipated!

How long have these two known each other? And they've already gotten intimate!

Ling Ningzhi is naive and ignorant about matters between men and women, completely clueless about such things... Needless to say, she was definitely fooled by that lecherous Chen Mo!

Before Chen Mo could speak, Ling Ningzhi stood up and blocked his way, her tone firm:

"Master, there's no need to make things difficult for Lord Chen. This isn't his fault; it was entirely my own initiative, and I did it willingly!"

"..."

Ji Hongxiu's head was throbbing slightly.

This foolish apprentice was sold out and is still helping the seller count the money!
However, she didn't have any particularly good solutions. In a sense, forgetting emotions is also a form of extreme emotion.

Ling Ningzhi's heart is now entirely devoted to Chen Mo. Forcing the two to separate would only destabilize her Dao heart, and she might lose all her cultivation.

"Zhi'er, do you know what you're doing?"

Ji Hongxiu said earnestly, "The deeper you get caught in this mortal world's web, the harder it will be to escape later. Do you really want to ruin your path to immortality?"

Ling Ningzhi shook her head and said, "This ethereal path to immortality, Master pursued it his whole life, but what was the result? He was still imprisoned by this world, suffering the pain of being tempered by the Great Dao, and he couldn't find a way to transcend it even after exhausting his entire life."

"Instead of doing that, it's better to make the most of your limited life."

"At the very least, you should live for yourself for once."

"..."

It’s over.

Ji Hongxiu sighed inwardly.

It seems this foolish apprentice has been completely brainwashed!
"I did not prevent them from contacting each other. My original intention was to let Qingxuan overcome this tribulation of love on her own, so that her Dao heart could be unbreakable."

"I never expected her to be so obsessed..."

Ji Hongxiu remained silent for a moment, then pointed remotely.

Ling Ningzhi's eyes went unfocused, and she collapsed onto the bed with a thud.

"Zhi'er?"

Chen Mo looked at Ji Hongxiu, his brows furrowed, "What did you do to her?"

"She's just asleep. I don't want her to hear what happens next." Ji Hongxiu walked up to Chen Mo, her willow-leaf eyes staring straight at him. "Don't you have anything to explain to me?"

Chen Mo frowned and said, "Why should I explain to you?"

Ji Hongxiu's tone grew even more somber, "Qingxuan is my disciple, how could you be with her..."

"So what?" Chen Mo looked up at her, his gaze unwavering. "Zhi'er and I are in love, and things naturally progressed. What's the problem? Even if you are her master, you have no right to decide her life."

"What you said is so easy!"

Ji Hongxiu gritted her teeth and said, "Since Qingxuan is the chief of Tian Shu Pavilion, she must abide by the rules of Tian Shu Pavilion! How can she do such a despicable thing?"

Hearing this, Chen Mo also got a little angry and said coldly, "Does your Tian Shu Pavilion have any rules regarding whether the sect leader can sleep in the same bed with a man? Isn't that considered a dirty affair?"

"you!"

Ji Hongxiu's breath caught in her throat as he choked her.

Ultimately, she really has no point in this matter...

"How dare you speak to me like that?! Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?!"

"Ha, you can't win an argument, so you start throwing your weight around?"

Chen Mo remained fearless and said, "If you really dared to kill me, you would have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"

Although he appeared very firm, he was secretly sweating bullets.

After all, the person in front of him is the Dao Venerable of the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion, one of the strongest in the Nine Provinces. It's impossible not to feel psychological pressure...

"Do you really think that I can't do anything to you just because you have Yu Youhan?"

"Even if I don't kill you, I have a thousand ways to make you wish you were dead, even if Yu Youhan can't find the slightest clue!"

Ji Hongxiu's tone was icy.

Chen Mo believed that.

In terms of raw power, Dao Zun may be slightly inferior to Niang Niang, but in terms of methods, he can be described as unpredictable and beyond human comprehension!
Dealing with a fourth-rank martial artist like him is effortless!

"You've said so much, yet you haven't taken any action. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a second option, right?"

"Just tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Chen Mo asked directly.

"..."

Ji Hongxiu was speechless again, her newly built-up aura vanished, and she glared at him resentfully.

This guy is sometimes so smart it's annoying...

"Let me make this clear beforehand, it's impossible for me to be separated from Qingxuan," Chen Mo said.

"I can let you be together, but there's a condition..." Ji Hongxiu cleared her throat and said, "You must become my disciple and become a personal disciple of the Tian Shu Pavilion."

[_?]
Chen Mo swallowed hard.

"I...I want to become your disciple?!"
