I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 301 Chen Mo Saves the Emperor! A Public Kiss of the Princess?! (7K)

"here you are?"

Chu Yanli asked with some doubt, "Do you have a grudge against this demon race?"

Chen Mo didn't know how to explain, so he casually said, "It's purely a personal hobby. Killing demons with my own hands makes me feel... uh, very good."

He thought Chu Yanli would express doubt, but to his surprise, she looked excited, as if she had met a kindred spirit. "It's rare to find someone with such good taste. But speaking of which, the most satisfying thing is killing barbarians, because there are enough of them to make a mound of corpses."

"Hundreds of people stood in a row. If the knife was fast enough, it could cut them to the ground in one stroke. Some even had their heads fall to the ground while they were still begging for mercy..."

"..."

Chen Mo's lips twitched slightly.

This woman is somewhat perverted...

Chu Yanli realized that she might have said too much, so she quickly stopped, took a step back, and gave way.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you."

"But let me warn you beforehand, this guy's true form is a Xuan Yuan, which can regenerate continuously, so it's not so easy to kill."

Without Chu Yanli's suppression, Juehai got up from the ground, his shattered body restored to normal.

However, those golden eyes stared intently at him, exuding a terrifying pressure that made him dare not make any rash moves.

“Actually, we can talk,” Juehai said tentatively. “You’re probably trapped by this formation, right? I have a magical artifact that can break formations. If you’re willing to let me go, we can leave together.”

Chen Mo shrugged and said, "Killing you won't stop me from getting the magic weapon, will it?"

Juehai ignored him, his gaze fixed on Chu Yanli.

In his eyes, Chu Yanli was the real opponent, while Chen Mo was nothing more than a charlatan who bullied demons by taking advantage of his power.

Chen Mo didn't seem to care about Juehai's disdain.

After all, who cares about the opinions of the dead?

With a wave of his hand, silver dust scattered out and adhered to Juehai's body.

boom--

The flames burst forth, engulfing him in a raging inferno, the extreme heat distorting the very air!
"interesting."

Chu Yanli raised an eyebrow slightly.

The power of this supernatural ability is so great that even ordinary grandmasters would not dare to take it head-on!
Under the burning flames of the meteorite, Juehai's body melted away like a candle, but in no time, it was reborn in the raging flames.

"It's useless, don't waste your energy." Juehai's tone was somewhat mocking. "Possessing the bloodline of the ancient Xuan Yuan is equivalent to being immortal. As long as there is a piece of flesh left, I can keep regenerating."

"And my body will remember the injuries I suffer, constantly adjust, and eventually adapt completely."

It's exactly what he said.

With each restoration, the cycle of physical recovery becomes shorter and shorter, gradually becoming equal to the rate of incineration.

Seeing this, Chu Yanli said in a low voice, "We have important matters to attend to right now and can't afford to delay for too long. If you can't handle it, I'll take over."

Chen Mo's eyes flickered slightly. "Don't rush, give me three breaths."

"Okay." Chu Yanli nodded, since it wouldn't make a difference if it took a little longer.

Bathed in the firelight, Juehai provocatively inhaled a ball of flame into his mouth, then exhaled wisps of black smoke from his nostrils, lazily saying, "Your strange fire isn't strong enough. It's not quite enough to kill me. Why don't you consider my suggestion?"

Chen Mo gazed at him and said calmly, "You can be resurrected with just a piece of flesh and blood? What if you were completely erased from this world?"

"What did you say? Eradicate me?"

Juehai seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. He grinned, and his flat, lizard-like features looked even uglier.

"If it were that woman, perhaps she would be more convincing, but you?"

"What's that saying about you humans... Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew? Hahaha..."

Chen Mo didn't say much, but extended his index finger and touched Juehai's brow.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

The finger encountered no resistance and pierced straight through the hard skull.

After he stopped, a round hole appeared between his eyebrows, its inner walls incredibly smooth, as if a piece had been carved out of thin air.

?

Juehai's expression froze on his face.

It's... beyond repair?!

This is not simply destruction, but rather reducing what is touched to nothingness.

In other words, if this part of the body never existed, how could it regenerate?!

He suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with horror as he stared at Chen Mo.

"This is the power of the laws!"

"who are you?!"

This power is at an extremely high level, far beyond his comprehension; perhaps only a supreme being could master it!
But the man in front of me is clearly not even a grandmaster!
"I am not yet proficient in using the power of the Void Dust. Currently, the range I can cover is only this large."

"This guy has no vital points, so poking him with your fingers would be far too inefficient. However, we could try to integrate him into a different kind of fire..."

Chen Mo's mind stirred slightly, and a faint blue light appeared within the silver flames.

"Ahhh-"

Juehai's voice suddenly became shrill, as if his body was being peeled away by an invisible hand, first his skin, tendons, then his bones, internal organs... every inch of flesh and blood gradually returned to nothingness.

"Wait a moment."

As Chen Mo thought of something, the leaping flames froze.

Now, only a mangled body remained of Juehai. The disdain on his face was gone, replaced by a pleading expression tinged with fear. "Whatever you want, I'll do it, just don't kill me... Can we make peace?"

"This is good stuff, I almost forgot."

Chen Mo took out a dagger and gouged out his eyes.

[Obtained Rare Item: Grade C Demon Eye.]

[Upon absorption, it can increase the proficiency level of pupil-type divine abilities and has a chance to grant other powers.]

Then he searched his body again, took the spike that could break the formation, made sure nothing else was missing, and snapped his fingers.

"Now you can continue."

call--

The flames suddenly flared up.

The remains vanished completely in despair.

[Defeat the monster "Juehai" to gain +2500 True Spirit.]

[Event rating is being improved...]

Chen Mo put away the blue light, slightly out of breath.

At his current level, it was still somewhat difficult for him to use the power of the Void Dust, but he managed to do it nonetheless.

Chu Yanli stared blankly at the scene, "What kind of trick is this?"

"It was just a supernatural power I comprehended by chance." Chen Mo took a breath and said, "If this demon hadn't been suppressed by His Highness and unable to resist, and could only stand there waiting to die, I'm afraid even I wouldn't have been able to do anything to it."

A supernatural power that I discovered by chance?
Chu Yanli naturally did not believe this explanation.

Within that wisp of green light, she sensed an aura remarkably similar to that of Yu Youhan.

How could they possibly pass on such power to Chen Mo? What exactly is the relationship between these two?
"Could it be that besides Chan'er, Yu Youhan is also with him...?"

Chu Yanli bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Chen Mo, you seem to really like other people's wives?"

"Cough cough!"

Caught off guard, Chen Mo nearly choked on his saliva, and said somewhat awkwardly, "What does Your Highness take me for... It's just that the woman I like happens to be someone else's wife, and there's no necessary connection between the two..."

?

Chu Yanli's gaze toward him became even more strange.

Chen Mo cleared his throat and changed the subject, saying, "Now is not the time to talk about these things. The Crown Prince is still in danger, and if we delay any longer, there may be serious problems."

Chu Yanli knew that important matters were at hand, so she didn't say anything more and looked up at the sky.

At this moment, the prince was suspended above the bronze furnace, surrounded by surging blood mist. The red dust, after some kind of tempering, was constantly merging into his body, making the blood-red patterns on his body even more intense.

Chen Mo frowned, "This is..."

"A blood sacrifice to avert disaster, to bear the punishment on behalf of Heaven." Chu Yanli said solemnly, "Years ago, I read the notes of the founding emperor. At that time, he was researching ways to get rid of the curse, and he mentioned these eight words many times..."

"But I never expected that Wu Lie would actually do it, and at the cost of the lives of the Yuan people..."

Chen Mo's heart stirred slightly.

Chu Heng alone could not have accomplished this; there must be other forces behind the scenes driving this.

Now it seems that it must be the supreme ruler of the Qianji Palace.

But what was the emperor's purpose in doing this?
To help the crown prince remove the curse so that he can inherit the throne in the future?

Or do you want a clean body so that you can possess someone else's body in the future?
But the Empress once said that the so-called "royal curse" cannot be solved by changing a body... Even if one has a pure body, how can the problem of the soul be solved?

Chen Mo's mind was filled with a thousand thoughts and surging emotions.

He vaguely felt that he was close to the truth, but he was still missing some key information.

"No matter what Wu Lie tries to do, I will not let him succeed." Chu Yanli stared at the Crown Prince, who was floating in the sea of ​​blood, and gritted her teeth, saying, "No matter what, we must rescue Ning An first!"

Chu Ning'an?
This was the first time Chen Mo had ever heard the Crown Prince's full name.

Chu Yanli leaped into the air, steadily approaching the Crown Prince's location.

The closer you get to the center of the blood-red vortex, the greater the pressure becomes, as if the entire Kowloon Terrace is pressing down on you.

The Xuanling Armor emitted mournful cries, but she remained unfazed, activating the Heavenly Decree Seal. The golden light intensified, crashing into the sea of ​​blood like a meteor!
"Ning An, don't be afraid, I'm here to rescue you!"

Just as Chu Yanli grabbed the Crown Prince's arm, preparing to drag him out, the Crown Prince's body trembled violently, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the blood-red patterns on his body were protruding like tentacles, already fused together with the bronze furnace.

If you forcibly pull a person out, the bones might be completely separated!
The crown prince had no cultivation and was too young to withstand the pressure.

Wu Lie had clearly anticipated this, and even if Chu Yanli was strong, she could only watch helplessly in this situation.

"Dog emperor..."

She gritted her teeth so hard they made a grinding sound.

At that moment, he caught a glimpse of Chen Mo out of the corner of his eye, and a thought flashed through his mind.

"These blood mists are essentially formed from the sacrifice of living people and are also a type of malevolent energy. Once they are completely absorbed, the crisis will naturally be resolved."

"I need to constantly activate the dragon energy to resist the pressure, and I cannot be distracted to resolve the blood evil."

"But besides me, there's someone else who can do this too..."

Chu Yanli raised her hand and gestured, and Chen Mo seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, soaring to her side. She said succinctly, "I will protect you. You should use the martial arts inheritance to absorb the evil energy. This is the only way to rescue Ning An."

"it is good!"

Chen Mo did not hesitate at all upon hearing this.

He activated the Palm Seal, and the phantom of a fierce tiger burst forth from his chest, its bloody mouth gaping open as it gasped sharply.

The blood mist in the air was drawn towards the tiger's mouth, and a dense barrage of notification text flashed before his eyes:
[Absorb Bloodlust, Master the Weapon Seal, and Form an Enemy Formation (200/5000)]

[Absorb Bloodlust, Master the Weapon Seal, and Form an Enemy Formation (430/5000)]

[Absorb Bloodlust, Master the Weapon Seal, and Form an Enemy Formation (1700/5000)]

[Absorbing the bloodthirsty energy...]

As it continued to absorb the malevolent energy, the tiger phantom became more solid, and its suction force grew stronger and stronger, eventually forming a spiral funnel in front of Chen Mo!
The Commanding Seal is like a millstone, grinding and devouring the evil energy that surges into the body, but the resulting "waste" has nowhere to go.

Tyranny, slaughter, hatred, resentment... all sorts of negative emotions constantly assaulted Chen Mo's nerves. Veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with a chilling bloodlust.

Chu Yanli noticed that something was wrong with him and shouted:
"Calm your mind and don't let the evil aura affect you!"

Chen Mo was suddenly startled, his eyes regained their clarity, and he hurriedly circulated the "Supreme Purification Mantra" in an attempt to stabilize his soul.

However, the amount of this malevolent energy was simply too enormous, like a river bursting its banks, and it quickly overwhelmed the soul power defense line!

Under the influence of negative emotions, the evil thoughts deep in his heart were amplified countless times, and his behavior was on the verge of getting out of control.

While Chu Yanli was still struggling against the pressure from the Nine Dragon Platform, suddenly, a large hand grabbed her waist and forcibly pulled her into an embrace.

"Ok?"

Chu Yanli looked up in confusion.

Chen Mo stared at her, his breathing rapid, his bloodshot eyes filled with undisguised desire.

"What are you going to do?"

Chu Yanli felt a little flustered under his gaze.

Before I could react, a large hand had already slipped under my armpit and climbed up to my ample bosom.

Fingers clenched.

He gripped her so tightly that even the armor on her chest deformed slightly. "Tsk, the feel is a bit lacking through this lump of iron... Didn't you say you were very interested in me?" Chen Mo smiled wickedly, hooking her chin with his other hand. "If you want me to be your consort, you'd better show some sincerity, wouldn't you?"

Chu Yanli frowned and shouted angrily, "Chen Mo, wake up! Do you know who you're talking to... Huh?!"

Before she could finish speaking, her lips were sealed.

(O_o)??
A pair of golden phoenix eyes widened in disbelief, which then transformed into a raging inferno.

This bastard!

How dare you do this to me?!

She instinctively wanted to throw Chen Mo away, but the evil energy had not been fully absorbed yet, and forcibly stopping would mean all her efforts were in vain... With this thought in mind, she could only suppress the urge to act and bit Chen Mo's lips hard with her teeth.

I wanted to use this method to make him more aware.

However, the pain only excited Chen Mo more, and he invaded her without restraint.

Although Chu Yanli always liked to talk big, she had never actually experienced anything like this before.

A faint taste of blood filled her mouth, accompanied by an indescribable, strange sensation that made her heart race. A blush spread from her cheeks, creeping up her neck along her ears.

Without realizing it, the clenched jaw slowly loosened.

Chen Mo naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. He swept through enemy territory with unstoppable momentum, completely capturing the enemy's main camp.

"Hmm~"

The pass had fallen, and Chu Yanli let out a muffled groan as the strange feeling grew stronger.

Her body trembled slightly uncontrollably, the golden light flickered, and her eyes gradually became hazy, as if veiled by a layer of mist.

After an unknown amount of time, the howling wind finally stopped.

The blood mist in the air thinned, and the patterns on the prince's body dimmed considerably.

Chu Yanli came to her senses and realized that the evil energy was about to be completely absorbed, so she used all her strength to push Chen Mo away.

At the same time, he reached out and grabbed the prince's arm, severing his connection with the bronze furnace, and then flew away from the area of ​​Kowloon Terrace.

Without Chu Yanli's protection, immense pressure fell on Chen Mo, slamming him from mid-air to the ground.

boom!
The entire jade platform trembled.

Chen Mo fell headfirst onto the platform, creating a deep crater.

The intense pain brought him back to his senses, and he struggled to take out a purple jade pendant from his pocket.

It was the purple jade that Qin Shu had given to He Yuzhi. It had the effects of bringing good fortune and warding off evil, calming the mind and soul, and it had a natural repulsion against blood evil and malevolent spirits.

He Yuzhi casually tossed it to him, and unexpectedly it actually came in handy.

Under the suppression of the Purple Jade, and with the help of the Supreme Purifying Heart Mantra, negative emotions were gradually dissipated, and the soul was stabilized.

call--

At this moment, a golden light swept over, dragging Chen Mo and a group of military officers off the high platform.

Chen Mo struggled to his feet and looked around. The scene was one of utter devastation; the entire temple had been reduced to ruins.

A shawl was laid on a slightly flat brick surface, and the prince lay quietly on it, seemingly still unconscious.

Chu Yanli stood to the side with her hands behind her back, her face frosty, and glared at him fiercely.

"..."

Chen Mo swallowed hard, his scalp tingling.

Although he had just lost his mind, he didn't black out and still clearly remembered what he had done...

"I actually forcibly kissed the Princess?! This is really going to be the death of me!"

"Chen Mo!"

The Empress lifted her skirt and hurried over.

Eunuch Jin jogged after him, calling out, "Oh dear, Your Highness, please slow down..."

Approaching Chen Mo, she looked him up and down with her almond-shaped eyes and asked with concern, "Are you alright? Is anything bothering you?"

Just now, shrouded in the blood mist, it was impossible to see what happened inside. All that was known was that Chen Mo and Chu Yanli plunged in, and then the mist thinned, eventually bringing the Crown Prince out.

"I'm fine..."

"What happened to your lip? It's bleeding!"

"...cough cough, it must have been an accidental bump, it's nothing serious."

Chen Mo mobilized his vital energy, and his wounds healed rapidly.

He and Chu Yanli looked at each other across the distance, and then both of them lowered their heads as if they were doing something wrong.

Only after confirming that Chen Mo was unharmed did the Empress feel relieved. She frowned and asked, "Li'er, what exactly happened?"

With many people around and fearing it might cause a disturbance, Chu Yanli didn't mention Wu Lie, but simply said, "The Nine Dragon Platform has been tampered with; they want to take advantage of the grand ceremony to assassinate the Crown Prince."

"Who on earth is so audacious!"

"Of course it was done by the demon race!"

"That doesn't make sense. Where did the demons get the red sand? And how did they bury it beneath the capital and the temple? If they had that kind of ability, would they be trapped in that godforsaken wasteland?"

“Kyoto is protected by a powerful formation, preventing the demon race from setting foot there. To complete such a massive project, there must be an inside agent! Moreover, this agent's identity is definitely not low; it is very likely that one of us is among us!”

"This is an attempt to sever the very foundation of our Great Yuan Dynasty!"

"Damn it, don't let me catch you, or I'll tear you limb from limb, or I won't be able to vent my hatred!"

"Come on, you were almost scared to death just now, but now you're all tough..."

The ministers discussed amongst themselves, creating a noisy and chaotic atmosphere.

Meanwhile, senior officials such as Lü Bojun and Zhuang Jingming seemed to have guessed something, their faces solemn and they remained silent.

"Uh……"

At that moment, a groan rang out, and the prince slowly opened his eyes.

"His Highness is awake!"

"Your Highness, are you alright?!"

The ministers swarmed around them.

However, the crown prince had lifeless eyes, a pale face, and stared blankly at the sky.

Eunuch Jin stepped forward, took the prince's pulse, and after a moment said, "His Highness was just frightened and his mind is scattered and confused. His body is fine."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "Heaven has shown mercy and protected our Crown Prince!"

Standing at a distance, Lü Huaiyu's eyes trembled slightly, and the hand he had been clenching tightly in his sleeve relaxed a little, a trickle of blood seeping from his palm where his fingernails had pierced it.

"Heaven has shown mercy?"

"Heh, if we really relied on God, probably less than 30% of the people would leave here alive today!"

Lu Huaiyu gave a cold laugh, his eyes deep and unfathomable like a cold pool.

"This humble servant is incompetent; please forgive me, Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, please forgive me!"

Zeng Ge and the other military officers knelt down and kowtowed.

They failed to protect the prince properly. If anything had happened to the prince, they would all have lost their heads!

The prince snapped out of his daze, his lips moving slightly.

"Silence!"

Eunuch Jin gestured for everyone to be quiet, then bowed and asked, "Your Highness, what did you say?"

The Crown Prince's voice was dry and hoarse: "It was Chen Mo who saved me... He absorbed all that red smoke, which allowed me to escape... Is he... Is he still alive?"

Although he was engulfed by the red mist and lost consciousness, strangely enough, he could still perceive the movements of the outside world.

It's as if you're looking down from a third-person perspective.

"Your Highness need not worry, Lord Chen is perfectly fine."

Eunuch Jin waved his hand, and the crowd parted. Chen Mo stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am fine."

Seeing that Chen Mo was safe and sound, the Crown Prince felt relieved.

Then she struggled to her feet and stumbled into his arms.

"Chen Mo, you're still alive, that's wonderful..."

"So many people died this time... Do you think I did something wrong and angered God?"

As he spoke, the prince's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down his face like pearls falling from a broken string.

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Your Highness is also a victim. This matter cannot be blamed on Your Highness in any way."

"But...but..."

The crown prince choked back tears, his voice trembling as he said, "Every year before, everything was fine, and nothing like this has ever happened before. But it just so happened on my very first time on stage... Even though I didn't kill them with my own hands, they may very well have died because of me..."

"Waaaaah, it's all my fault..."

Chen Mo sighed silently.

Although the prince was still young, he was very perceptive and clearly noticed something from this "ritual".

But there was no way to say it outright, so he could only pick up the prince, gently pat his back, and softly comfort him.

Whether it was due to exhaustion or the comfort of Chen Mo's embrace, the prince rested his head on Chen Mo's shoulder and quickly fell into a deep sleep, with two tear tracks still on his face.

The ministers reacted with varying expressions upon witnessing this scene.

They only knew that the Crown Prince and Chen Mo had a good relationship before, but they never expected it to be this good!
Moreover, Chen Mo's merit in protecting the emperor this time means his future prospects are limitless! The way the ministers of the six ministries looked at him changed!
The Empress blinked, thinking to herself, "He's quite good at coaxing children; he'll probably be a good father in the future..."

For some reason, her face felt inexplicably hot.

……

……

Chen Mo handed the sleeping Crown Prince to Eunuch Jin, then walked through the crowd and went straight to Lü Huaiyu.

Looking at the imposing and powerful minister, he said in a deep voice, "Grand Tutor Lü, don't you have anything to say to me?"

According to the original plan, Chen Mo was supposed to patrol near the palace, but Lü Huaiyu made him follow him to the ancestral temple.

If it weren't for him, not to mention how many people would have died at the hands of that fox demon, Chu Yanli alone would have had a hard time rescuing the Crown Prince!
On the surface, it seemed like he was being put in danger, but in reality, it was saving everyone from dire straits!
"The Crown Prince is trapped by the bloodthirsty aura, and my martial arts inheritance happens to be able to absorb the aura. This is clearly not a coincidence!"

"Grand Tutor Lü must know something!"

Faced with Chen Mo's questioning, Lü Huaiyu neither admitted nor denied it, and said calmly, "As I said, I only did what I was supposed to do."

Chen Mo frowned even more deeply, "Could all of this really be the Emperor's doing...?"

"Master Chen!"

Lu Huaiyu interrupted, then looked up in the direction of Tiandu City and said, "It's too early to talk about this now. Things are far from over... If Lord Chen sets off now, it might still be in time."

"What do you mean?"

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something.

"Oh no, Chu Heng!!"

……

……

Imprisonment.

The bottom floor of the dungeon.

Unrest occurred in Kyoto. Although the area is far from the epicenter, the shaking can still be clearly felt.

The guards in front of the stone gate remained motionless, like two statues. Their task was to guard the gate of the Black Prison, and nothing outside mattered to them.

However, the two were completely unaware that a shadow squeezed out from the crack in the door, which was only as thick as a hair, and snaked up along one of their armors before condensing into a steel needle that pierced his eye!

"what!"

The guard cried out in pain, covered his eyes, and knelt on the ground, his body convulsing violently.

"Are you OK?"

His companion rushed over to check on him.

If things go wrong, the formation on the wall should be activated as a warning.

As soon as he turned around, he felt a chill in his chest and his strength rapidly drained away.

Looking down, one could see a hand emerging from the chest, piercing through the armor, and holding a steaming heart in its hand.

"You are……"

He turned around with difficulty, but only saw a pair of blurry eyes.

A long sigh reached my ears:
"The day has finally come..."
