I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 200 We've got the Empress's weakness in our hands! The true price Yu Youhan has to pay!
"Who...who got ruined? Master, what nonsense are you talking about!" Ling Ningzhi stammered.

"I'm talking nonsense?" Ji Hongxiu raised an eyebrow and sneered, "I wonder who it was that Chen Mo picked up and spun around in circles, crying and yelling that they were going to break..."

"Master!"

Ling Ningzhi's cheeks felt like they were on fire, and she wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

She originally just wanted to check to see if Chen Mo and her master had done anything improper, but things quickly took a turn for the worse...

Then Master walked in...

That big bad guy Chen Mo only got more excited and almost killed her...

"Master can't just come in without knocking, can he? They weren't prepared at all," Ling Ningzhi said weakly.

"Do you think I wanted this?" Ji Hongxiu rolled her eyes at her and said irritably, "I waited for half an hour, who knew you two would never stop?"

Recalling the scene she had just witnessed, Ji Hongxiu muttered a curse under her breath.

Her usually obedient, innocent, and aloof disciple had revealed such a side of herself, which stirred up a strange and indescribable feeling in her heart.

"You said you wanted to go down the mountain to find immortal herbs and temper your Dao heart, but it turned out like this... If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let you leave the sect in the first place!"

"Actually...actually, this is also a kind of spiritual practice."

Ling Ningzhi's face was flushed as she whispered, "Lord Chen's body contains Dao power, which is in harmony with the origin of the Great Dao. I have only comprehended a trace of its aura, yet the increase in my spiritual sense and cultivation is equivalent to several years of hard work."

?

Ji Hongxiu frowned slightly.

Actually, she was a little puzzled. Ling Ningzhi was indulging in "male beauty," but her cultivation had not been neglected. In fact, it had even improved considerably compared to before.

In particular, the strength of his spiritual sense has already faintly touched the threshold of the third rank.

This is not something that can be achieved simply through meditation and spiritual practice.

"Secretly in accordance with the origin of the Great Dao?"

Ji Hongxiu looked up at Chen Mo.

A surge of azure light emanated from his body like a tidal wave, his aura as strong as that of a cultivator of the same realm. The common sense that Daoist and martial arts cannot be cultivated together simply did not apply to him.

"Is he really that powerful?"

Ling Ningzhi nodded, "It's just that the Daoist aura is too domineering. Each time I comprehend it, it takes several months to fully digest it..."

"Overbearing? Could it be..."

A guess vaguely surfaced in Ji Hongxiu's mind, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

call--

The wind howled, and the sea of ​​clouds churned like boiling water.

The azure light tinged the mist with a bluish hue before quickly receding and disappearing into the ancient bronze scroll between the eyebrows.

Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes, his gaze shining brightly.

"This place is secluded and otherworldly, rich in spiritual energy, and resonates with the Dao in a mysterious way. It is no exaggeration to call it a sacred place for cultivation!"

For practitioners, the most difficult thing is enlightenment, that mysterious and elusive spiritual awareness is fleeting.

But within this blessed land, he remained in a state of enlightenment! With the double blessing of Yin Qi, in just half a day, his proficiency in the Qingyu True Scripture increased by nearly two hundred points, just one step away from minor mastery!
"Is this the foundation of the Tian Shu Pavilion?"

"No wonder it has been able to maintain its position as a holy sect for thousands of years without decline!"

Chen Mo couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Little did people know that this was the place where the Daoist Master attained enlightenment, which is why such a strong aura of the Great Dao remains here.

He was the only man to have set foot in this place...

With his Yin energy completely depleted, Chen Mo decided to stop practicing his technique and, with a flick of his wrist, produced an amber-colored object.

Like a transparent citrine, it contains a leaping flame sealed inside.

Pure source of fire.

The system reward obtained when Ling Ningzhi's favorability level breaks through to the second stage.

He was caught red-handed by the Empress, almost causing a major disaster, which led him to completely forget about the item...

click-

Chen Mo crushed the amber crystal, and the blazing fire entered his body.

In the attribute panel in front of me, a plus sign appeared next to "Radiant Blaze".

"add a bit!"

boom!
Seven-colored, glass-like flames burst forth from his body, radiating terrifying, scorching heat.

The flames flowed before him as if they were real, their vibrant colors gradually merging into a pure silver that shone as brightly as stars.

Tiny words flashed before my eyes:

[The host is comprehending the Dao of Flames.]

The divine ability "Blazing Glazed Flame" has transformed into the divine ability "Meteor Fire," with increased proficiency. The current level is Advanced (0/4).

"Meteorite Flame?"

Chen Mo opened his palm, and mercury-like flames floated above, constantly changing shapes according to his will.

He may appear docile and obedient, but he can sense the terrifying explosive power hidden within him.

With a flick of the finger, a spark flew out and stuck to the cliff face beside it, as inconspicuous as a speck of dust.

next moment--

boom!
The silver flames suddenly burst into flames, and the intense light shot out, causing the rock wall, several meters high, to melt away rapidly, just like snow under the scorching sun!
In an instant, it turned to ashes and vanished completely!
"Compared to the previous Glazed Blazing Flame, this Meteor Flame is not only much more powerful, but it can also be controlled and detonated by thought even after it leaves the body."

"However, that's only secondary..."

"Most importantly, this meteorite fire can actually erode the soul?!"

Chen Mo's expression was full of surprise.

Previously, this fire-based divine ability had a very low profile, consumed a lot of energy, and its power was not as good as the sword energy. It had basically become a tool for massage... But now it has undergone a complete qualitative change!

If these silver particles are attached to the blade, they can destroy the physical body and the soul silently!

It's simply impossible to guard against!
"This is only the advanced level. If it were upgraded to its maximum, the effect would probably far exceed our expectations!"

"Although the Dao Essence Crystal is currently sufficient for upgrading, it would be best to use the Pure Source Fire Seed, which might allow for another transformation."

Chen Mo absorbed the silver flames into his body.

My mind sank into my spiritual realm, and there I saw a golden body sitting cross-legged, covered in starlight, surrounded by yin and yang energies and azure light, looking extremely divine.

Perhaps due to the enhanced dragon energy, the sacred aura was even stronger than before, like a celestial being sitting in the heavens, faintly exuding a majestic aura overlooking all living beings.

"The power of jade can temper soul power, while the yin and yang energies can nourish the soul. With the blessing of the Supreme Purification Mantra, it is improving almost every moment... Not to mention martial arts practitioners, even Dao practitioners of the same realm rarely surpass me in soul power."

The so-called "realm of heaven and man" means to sense the will of heaven and be in harmony with the Great Dao, thereby achieving the state of unity between heaven and man.

Unlike the three realms of mortal transformation, the Celestial Realm emphasizes sudden enlightenment. One cannot become a Grandmaster simply through diligent cultivation. The stronger one's divine soul, the greater the possibility of sensing the laws of the Great Dao.

This is why the "Enlightenment Elixir" is so precious.

It's equivalent to directly inserting the laws of the Great Dao into one's soul, eliminating the need for sensing, thus significantly increasing the probability of a breakthrough.

"We can still get the Enlightenment Golden Pill later, hmm, judging by the timeline, it seems like it'll be soon..."

"The demon race probably won't let this go easily; we need to increase our strength as soon as possible..."

Chen Mo pondered silently.

This incident is enough to show that the demon race has realized that he possesses dragon energy, otherwise they would not have gone to such lengths.

The plot has completely deviated from its intended course. We must make good use of the remaining information, seize opportunities, and accumulate strength in order to survive the power struggles among various factions...

Just then, he felt a chill on his body.

Looking down, I realized that my clothes had been burned by the flames.

"This supernatural power is great in every way, except it wears out clothes too much."

Chen Mo stood up, preparing to take out clothes from his storage bag and change.

Suddenly realizing something, he turned his head and saw two figures standing not far away, staring at him intently.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a handsome guy?"

"..."

Ling Ningzhi came to her senses, her face flushed, and her eyes darted around.

Although she and Chen Mo were already very close, she still felt shy seeing him like this.

On the contrary, Ji Hongxiu looked him over without restraint, her eyes slightly narrowed, and her rosy lips curving into a clear arc.

"Don't wear it, it'll be too much trouble to take it off later."

"Ok?"

Before Chen Mo could react, Ji Hongxiu raised her hand and a black rope shot out, instantly binding him tightly. Then, the two of them vanished in an instant.

Ling Ningzhi was left standing there, looking completely bewildered.

"Ok?"

"What about people?"

……

In the bedroom.

Ji Hongxiu threw Chen Mo, who was tied up like a rice dumpling, onto the bed.

Chen Mo frowned and said in a deep voice, "What are you trying to do now?"

Ji Hongxiu didn't speak, but reached out and placed her hand on his dantian, injecting her primordial qi into it, as if she was carefully searching for something.

A moment later, his eyes lit up.

"found it!"

She plunged her slender, jade-like fingers into her abdomen, then forcefully pulled out a deep blue-green light. The light seemed to struggle as if it possessed a spirit, with dust particles swirling around it, emanating an aura of desolation and death.

Chen Mo's abdomen was smooth and flat, without any wounds.

"Only Yu Youhan's Dao power could possess such a strong Dao law of destruction."

Ji Hongxiu scrutinized the eerie light, her smile growing even brighter. "No wonder Yu Youhan cares so much about you. She loses her composure whenever you're involved... So you're the price she pays?"

Chen Mo frowned even more deeply. "What nonsense are you spouting?"

Ji Hongxiu didn't explain, but muttered to herself, "Anyone who touches the source wall will inevitably suffer the wrath of heaven and earth, but Yu Youhan seems to be unaffected... I found it strange before, but I didn't expect that the price she paid would fall on you?"

"Heaven does not allow two laws; only one person can touch the origin of each Great Dao."

"Now that you possess her Dao power, it means that as long as you exist, her Dao heart can never be perfectly harmonious... How can one transcend if one's state of mind is unstable?"

"Heh, the price she paid was much more severe than mine..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo felt a chill run down his spine.

Last time, in the restaurant in Tiandu City, he and the Empress had talked about the issue of "cost".

The Empress's original words were: "My constitution is special, and Heaven's malice will not be detected... Logically speaking, there should be no consequence..."

Logically speaking...

The words seemed unfinished, but Chen Mo didn't pay attention at the time.

"Is it because Your Majesty will not be detected by the Heavenly Dao that I am needed as the medium?"

"But why has Her Majesty never mentioned such a thing to me?"

Thinking back to when the Empress was bound by the red ribbon, losing all her Taoist power and becoming almost no different from an ordinary person, and even being in danger many times... Could this also be a manifestation of the "price"?
Chen Mo's mood grew increasingly heavy.

He had not thought about this question carefully before. How could the Empress, with her terrifying cultivation, be so easily suppressed? What exactly is this red ribbon?
"I didn't expect there would be an unexpected gain..."

"As expected, you are the one destined for greatness; all the changes are due to you."

Ji Hongxiu hesitated for a moment, then stuffed the dark light back into Chen Mo's body. "If it causes fluctuations in Dao power, Yu Youhan might notice... There's no need to rush. We can study it properly next time after we've made thorough preparations." "Right now, we should focus on the important matters."

"Ok?"

Chen Mo snapped out of his daze and looked up.

Ji Hongxiu's Taoist robe slipped off, revealing skin as smooth as mutton fat jade, and a faint red glow emanated from the inside of her left thigh.

"The influence of the Dao patterns has weakened. Once we weather this wave, it should be over. The only question is when it will strike again..."

She lay on the bed, leaning against Chen Mo. Her soul, which had been eroded by the fire poison, felt a cool sensation and she couldn't help but let out a pleasant hum.

"I never imagined that the price Yu Youhan paid would be my antidote?"

"Tsk tsk, fate really is unpredictable..."

At this moment, Ji Hongxiu noticed something, looked down, and was slightly taken aback.

Her face flushed red, her eyes filled with tears, and she glared at Chen Mo with a look that seemed both angry and annoyed.

"You lecherous scoundrel, do you think I'm Qingxuan?"

"..."

Chen Mo's lips twitched slightly.

This is not something he can control...

Besides, this woman is only wearing a bellyband and is so close to him, what normal man could resist?
Suddenly, Chen Mo's expression froze, and he looked at Ji Hongxiu in disbelief.

"Daoist Venerable?!"

"What are you..."

Ji Hongxiu's lips curled up, her willow-leaf eyes alluring as silk, "What's there to be nervous about? It's not like we've never done this before... Actually, I've always been a little curious, what exactly did you and Yu Youhan do? Did you do anything like Qingxuan?"

Chen Mo's breathing became slightly rapid, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "You are a Dao Venerable of the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion, isn't this a bit inappropriate!"

Ji Hongxiu smiled and said, "So what? Yu Youhan can touch it, but I can't?"

Chen Mo: "..."

Why does this sound so familiar?

The Ji Hongxiu before me was originally a fragment of a soul. Although she shared a body with the original, she had a completely different personality from the original because she contained the three poisons of infatuation, greed, and lust.

Compared to the original being's pure and upright Daoist heart, her style of doing things is more wicked and unscrupulous.

After learning the "secret" between Chen Mo and Yu Youhan, he couldn't help but feel excited, as if he had grasped his nemesis's weakness, and he unconsciously tightened his grip even more.

"hiss--"

Chen Mo's expression changed slightly.

At that moment, a cold voice came from her mouth: "What are you doing! Let go right now!!"

Soon, the alluring voice rang out again, "You hid when the Dao patterns flared up, and now that you're about to pull through, you come out to fight for control? Hmph, dream on!"

Her cool voice, tinged with both shame and anger, said, "Let's talk about this later. First, let go of my hand. What kind of behavior is this?!"

She said in a seductive voice, "I won't let go!"

"let go!"

"Not loose!"

"..."

As the two voices continued to argue, her fair, delicate hands were pulled back and forth...

Chen Mo's face turned almost green, but he couldn't move and could only grit his teeth and endure it.

About half an incense stick later.

Ji Hongxiu raised her hand and touched her brow, her charming voice abruptly ending.

His expression immediately turned serious, and the flush on his face quickly faded.

Her appearance hasn't changed, but her temperament is completely different, as if she's become a different person... Compared to her previous charming and languid demeanor, she is now as unattainable as the bright moon in the sky.

She looked down, a flash of shame, anger, and disgust crossing her eyes, and pulled her hand back as if she had been electrocuted.

"This is outrageous! How could they do such a thing to my body..."

Chen Mo looked bewildered. "What did I do?"

Ji Hongxiu said coldly, "I wasn't talking to you."

Chen Mo: "..."

Ji Hongxiu sat up, and a white Taoist robe appeared out of thin air, covering her beautiful body.

She turned her head and glanced at Chen Mo, her cool eyes showing a hint of complexity.

"Enough, in the end, I'm the one who benefited from this..." She flicked her finger, and a beam of light entered Chen Mozi's mansion.

For a moment, Chen Mo's eyes glazed over as an overwhelming flood of information rushed into his mind, his thoughts filled with a myriad of images and profound insights.

At the same time, a system notification appeared before my eyes:
[Gained Supernatural Power: Xuanmen Tiangang Orthodox Method - Palm Thunder.]

[Gained Supernatural Power: Xuanmen Tiangang Orthodox Method - Azure Lotus Seed.]

? !
Chen Mo was stunned.

Although I haven't had time to fully comprehend them yet, I can clearly sense that the power of these two divine abilities is no less than that of a Heaven-rank martial skill!

He hasn't even agreed to become my apprentice yet, isn't he being a bit too generous?
Forced buying and selling?

Ji Hongxiu seemed to see through his thoughts and shook her head, saying, "This 'Heavenly Gang Orthodox Method' was something I obtained by chance during my training years ago. It is not a legacy of the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion, and I have no intention of taking you as my disciple."

"What happened before was not what I wanted, but I did benefit from it after all... Now I'm returning two supernatural powers to you, so the cause and effect are settled and we are even."

Chen Mo could tell that the "Daoist Master" in front of him seemed to have no desire to have anything to do with him.

He asked cautiously, "So I guess I won't have to sleep with you next time?"

Ji Hongxiu glanced at Zhen and said, "No need, this is the last time, it won't happen again."

Although she spoke with certainty, Chen Mo could detect a hint of guilt in her tone.

Chen Mo then asked, "What about me and Zhi'er...?"

A shadow crossed Ji Hongxiu's eyes as she coldly said, "As far as I know, you must have more than one girl by your side, right? Qingxuan is naive and inexperienced, so she is easily deceived by sweet words. As her master, I naturally have the obligation to bring her back on the right track!"

?

Chen Mo was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

Judging from these words, does it mean you intend to break up the couple?

The ropes binding him had been untied. He put on a black robe, and without saying a word, got up and walked towards the door.

Ji Hongxiu frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"

Chen Mo sneered, "I'm going to tell Zhi'er about how you hit me just now, and let her see how you act as a master!"

"..."

Ji Hongxiu's eyelids twitched slightly, and she cleared her throat, saying, "Ahem, we've been delayed for so long, it's time to send you back... Take care."

Chen Mo: ?
Before he could react, Ji Hongxiu waved her hand, and a dark crack appeared in the void. A powerful suction force pulled him straight in.

The atmosphere returned to quiet.

Ji Hongxiu straightened her robes and walked out of the room with a graceful air.

Ling Ningzhi was pacing in the courtyard when she saw her come out and hurriedly went to greet her.

"Master, are you done with your work...? Why don't I see Lord Chen?" Ling Ningzhi peeked around and looked back.

Ji Hongxiu said without changing her expression, "He has other matters to attend to and has gone back first."

Ling Ningzhi was slightly taken aback. "You went back?"

Even if Chen Mo had something urgent to do and had to leave, he would definitely tell her first; he would never leave without saying goodbye.

There must be something fishy here.

"Then this disciple will take his leave as well..."

Ling Ningzhi was about to leave when Ji Hongxiu stopped her, saying, "You've been away from Tiandu City for so long, it's rare for you to come back. Why don't you keep me company and have a good talk?"

Ling Ningzhi blinked. "What does Master want to talk about?"

Ji Hongxiu sat on the stone chair, and a tea set suddenly appeared on the table in front of her. She picked up the teapot with her delicate hands and began to brew tea, saying softly, "Let's start with how you and Chen Mo met."

……

……

Tiandu City.

The streets were bustling with people, noisy and lively, with vendors shouting their wares and children chasing and playing.

Suddenly, a little girl pointed to the horizon and said in a childish voice, "Look, there's a shooting star!"

"Nonsense, where would a shooting star come from in broad daylight?"

"Hey, it seems that's really true..."

"Wait a minute, looking at this direction, it seems to be flying this way?!"

Everyone looked up and saw a black dot approaching from afar, tracing an arc, and hurtling straight toward the center of the street.

"Get out of the way!"

The pedestrians scattered in all directions.

boom--

A muffled thud was heard, and the ground trembled slightly.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, a black-robed man was seen lying headfirst in the brickwork, motionless, like a sculpture.

"That's not a shooting star, it's a living person!"

"I must say, the posture is quite graceful..."

"Falling from such a height, he probably won't survive, right?"

"..."

Chen Mo's head was stuck in the ground, his teeth grinding together.

That wretched woman not only threw him back, but she also sealed his true essence!

If he hadn't been physically strong, he would have been seriously injured from that fall!

The situation is a bit awkward. There are too many onlookers, and if I show my face, I'll definitely be recognized, which would be a bit embarrassing... It's better to leave it like this for now and leave as quickly as possible after my true energy recovers...

Just as Chen Mo was pondering this, a fair hand reached out from the void, grabbed his ankle, and pulled him out like a radish.

It then vanished into the void.

The group looked at the deep crater left on the ground, exchanging bewildered glances.

……

……

Hanxiao Palace.

Yu Youhan sat upright on the phoenix chair, looking at Chen Mo's disheveled appearance, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said in an unfriendly tone:

"Why are you only just getting back? Where have you been these past two days?"

"Miss!"

Chen Mo rushed over and grabbed the long, slender leg, pleading pitifully, "This humble servant almost had DingTalk uninstalled!"

Yu Youhan: "..."
