I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 308 Little Ji, Run! The Daoist Master is Stealing Food!

The paper figure crawled out from the crack in the rock and tiptoed to the stone tablet.

Before Chen Mo lured the Demon Lord away, he told her to go to the Eastern Suburbs Demon Suppression Division to take a look, worried that someone might target the array and formation diagram.

When Ji Lianxing arrived, she happened to witness Huineng fighting with Ling Yishan. Realizing that the monk was somewhat strange, she did not show herself rashly, but instead hid in the shadows and followed him all the way here.

As a first-rank sorcerer, as long as she wanted to conceal her aura, almost no one except the Supreme Being could detect it.

As expected, Huineng did not find anything unusual along the way.

"anyway……"

"What exactly is this thing?"

The paper figure tilted its head, gazing at the conch shell that was constantly absorbing the purple aura.

Although it was impossible to be sure what it was, it was buried underground in Kyoto and suppressed by layers of formations, so there was a general idea in my mind.

“Chen Mo also has a similar aura, this thing should be quite useful to him…” Ji Lianxing pondered for a moment, then quickly made a decision, slamming her fist on her palm, “Never mind, I’ll steal it first!”

Before leaving, Huineng used his prayer beads to protect the conch shell.

However, a single Buddhist rosary was naturally not enough to stop Ji Lianxing.

But if we act directly, we'll definitely be discovered. It's best to wait until he and that three-eyed old man start fighting first, and then try to take advantage of the chaos...

Thinking of this, the paper figure retreated into the shadows and quietly lay dormant.

……

……

Qi Chengze hovered in the air, staring at the monk in front of him with a gloomy gaze.

Wuwang Temple?

"So you were the ones who orchestrated all of this?!"

Huineng stood with his hands behind his back, a halo gleaming behind him, and said calmly, "In truth, you already have the answer in your heart, so why ask this humble monk? This humble monk has come here only to borrow something..."

Qi Chengze calmed down, but his heart was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

The scale of the unrest in Kyoto was beyond the capabilities of any single sect or power. He dared not even think about who was behind it all...

"Borrow something?" Qi Chengze looked down, his pupils contracting slightly. "You forced your way into the Demon Suppression Division, so it really was for the dragon's energy!"

Huineng remained calm and noncommittal.

Qi Chengze did not rush to make a move. He stared at Huineng with his vertical pupils and frowned, saying, "How did you find the location of the dragon vein in such a short time?"

The conch shell had not yet finished absorbing the energy, and Huineng was happy to buy time, replying, "Although the dragon veins have changed frequently in recent years, the array's core remains fixed, like nails piercing through the dragon veins..."

"This formation is based on the Buddhist principles of the correspondence of the three mysteries and the cycle of the four truths. In addition, with the wordless scripture left by Xuan Kong before his death, finding the core of the formation is not a difficult task for this humble monk."

"Moreover, this explosion also helped me a lot; otherwise, things would not have gone so smoothly."

Upon hearing this, Qi Chengze said in a deep voice, "You should know what the crime of plotting to seize the fate of the nation and bringing disaster to the country and its people is. You are so blatant, aren't you afraid that the imperial court will send troops to raze Wuwang Temple to the ground?!"

Huineng shook his head and said, "The imperial court will never take action against Wuwang Temple before the formation is completely broken, and besides..."

He pointed to the devastated scene below and sneered, "Do you think the Great Yuan Dynasty would be any better off if this humble monk didn't absorb the dragon's energy?"

Qi Chengze was speechless for a moment.

"This humble monk can tell you another secret."

Huineng's soft voice drifted into Qi Chengze's ears, "You only know that the Eight Desolations Demon-Slaying Formation is composed of eight nested formations, but you don't know that Wuwang Temple only constructed seven formations. Who set up the last formation and what its function is is quite intriguing."

? !
Qi Chengze frowned, a vague unease creeping into his heart.

If what the monk said is true, this matter is probably no small thing!

"You've been hesitant to make a move, instead searching for my weaknesses. I suppose you lack confidence?"

"After all, even Ling Yishan was defeated."

Huineng chuckled and said, "Currently, the civil and military officials are trapped in the temple, and the imperial guards are guarding the capital. There are very few top experts in the city... If His Majesty had not come in person, he would not have been able to keep this humble monk here."

Seeing his confident demeanor, Qi Chengze's gaze turned cold, his aura surging as he spoke: "One last question, how did you know in advance that there would be unrest on the day of the grand ceremony? Who told you?"

Huineng put his hands together and whispered, "Amitabha, the Buddha said: It cannot be spoken."

"Alright, then I'll beat you until you tell me!"

Qi Chengze said no more, his vertical pupil between his brows blazed with silver light, and a pillar of light shot out that reached the heavens and the earth!

Huineng held prayer beads in his hand, a halo of light swirling behind him, and leaped forward to meet the attack.

Boom boom boom——

The Buddha's power and the silver light collided violently, and the sea of ​​clouds surged like boiling water!
During their exchange, Huineng was secretly alarmed. Although the old man was not a Supreme Being, he was by no means an ordinary First Rank cultivator.

Especially the eye between his eyebrows, which seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, would interrupt him whenever he wanted to use Buddhist magic!

Moreover, those streaks of silver light that shot towards him contained a kind of law similar to cause and effect, and even though he had the protection of Buddha's light, he dared not withstand it head-on!

Suddenly, they found themselves at a disadvantage!

However, Huineng's purpose was to buy time and wait for the conch shell to finish absorbing the dragon energy.

So he simply stopped fighting back and relied on the power of the Buddha's relics to hold on.

Faced with this cowardly behavior, Qi Chengze had no choice but to activate his Heavenly Eye with all his might to suppress the opponent.

But the feeling of unease in my heart grew stronger.

Logically speaking, with such a commotion, the imperial troops should have arrived long ago, but no reinforcements have arrived yet.

"what's going on……"

boom--

A phantom image of Jingang appeared behind Huineng, his hands clasped together to protect him, allowing the silver light to bombard his body.

The illusory image flickered, yet remained as immovable as a mountain.

"almost."

Sensing that the dragon energy had been fully absorbed, Huineng gripped his prayer beads, preparing to first force Qi Chengze back, and then take the conch shell and flee thousands of miles away.

Just then, his connection with the conch shell was suddenly severed.

"Um?!"

Huineng suddenly looked down.

A tiny paper figure, no bigger than a palm, crawled out of a crack in the ground, picked up a conch shell, and ran away.

? !
Huineng's eyes immediately turned red.

I thought I had planned everything perfectly, but who would have thought I'd get robbed of my chicken?!

"You audacious thief, put the things down!"

Hearing the angry shouts behind him, the paper figure didn't turn around. Its body drifted away like a falling leaf, and in the blink of an eye, it flew hundreds of miles away.

"stop!"

Huineng had no time to deal with Qi Chengze anymore and turned to chase after him, but Qi Chengze, who had finally found an opening, was naturally not going to let him go so easily.

The silver light pierced through the Buddha image, and the primordial energy transformed into a giant hand that swept across the sky.

"Namo Samanta Buddhanam, Om, Mahakala, Svaha!"

Huineng's hand gestures changed rapidly, and he chanted mantras at lightning speed. His monk's robes burst into flames, and the primordial energy hand instantly vaporized before it could even touch his body.

He transformed into a fiery meteor, hurtling off in the direction the paper figure had gone.

"Mysterious light shines upon the Purple Palace, wise eyes illuminate the vast universe, the Three Pure Ones bestow upon me the Dharma, enabling me to see through the Nine Netherworlds!"

As Qi Chengze spoke the truth, dark clouds gathered on the horizon, and a huge vertical pupil emerged from the clouds, staring indifferently at Huineng.

Huineng's movements suddenly slowed down, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him, and he could only watch helplessly as the paper figure disappeared into the horizon.

"Are you out of your mind?!"

"Your dragon energy has already been stolen, so why are you still arguing with this humble monk?!"

Huineng's eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on his neck bulged as he cursed loudly.

Qi Chengze sneered, "You bald monk, don't try that on me. If I believed you, I'd be fooled!"

He wasn't sure if Huineng was lying, but he couldn't let the man escape no matter what!

"...Damn it!"

click-

Huineng crushed two prayer beads in succession, and the phantom of Buddha appeared. He tore through space with his hands and disappeared in an instant.

Qi Chengze's vertical pupil between his brows pierced through the void. After carefully discerning the situation, he flashed away and chased after him.

The two exchanged blows in the blink of an eye, and with the clouds obscuring the view, the people below didn't even notice anything unusual.

Once the turbulent primordial energy on the horizon had completely subsided, a paper figure peeked out from a crack in the ground in the desolate courtyard. After confirming that there was nothing unusual around, it crawled out and tiptoed away from the alley along the wall.

He avoided pedestrians all the way without using any magic.

Relying solely on his short legs, he traversed several blocks and returned to Yunshui Pavilion, slipping through a window crack into the bedroom.

Only after confirming that no one was following behind did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Master?"

Gu Manzhi, who was pacing back and forth in the room, saw the paper figure and hurriedly came forward to ask, "Why did you take so long to come back? Where is Lord Chen? How is he?"

The paper figure scratched its head and said, "Uh, he should be alright, right..."

"Then why didn't he come back with you?" Ye Henshui pressed.

Seeing how anxious the two of them were, if I were to tell the truth, I definitely wouldn't be able to sit still.

At this critical juncture, if they run out and their identities are exposed, who knows what kind of trouble they might encounter.

The paper figure cleared its throat and said, "Chen Mo had something come up, so he sent me back first. The situation is rather chaotic right now, and he can't spare the time for a while... cough cough, I estimate he'll come to find you in a couple of days."

"That's good."

Hearing this, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Speaking of which, why have you always kept the appearance of a paper figure?" Gu Manzhi asked, puzzled.

The paper figure lowered its voice and said mysteriously, "I stole a treasure from a bald monk. It's of great importance, so it must be hidden well and not a single trace can be revealed!"

"What baby?"

Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui were somewhat curious.

The paper figure reached into its belly button and poked around, creating an opening.

The two leaned closer for a closer look. Inside the seemingly flat body lay an extremely deep space, within which a golden conch shell floated silently, surrounded by purple aura.

"What is this?" Ye Henshui asked.

"I don't know, but it's a good thing. Chen Mo will definitely be pleasantly surprised when he sees it."

The paper figure pinched its belly shut, put its hands on its hips, and said smugly, "This time, not only do you have to settle the debt, but you also have to give me at least ten thousand... no, fifty thousand taels before I'll give this thing to him!"

"This little conch shell is worth fifty thousand taels of silver?"

"Tch, what do you know? That bald monk and the three-eyed old man fought like madmen over this thing."

"Who is the bald monk? And who is the three-eyed old man?"

"How would I know……"

"You dared to steal without knowing anything?"

"Nonsense, do you expect me to greet them and introduce myself before I steal anything?"

"..."

"Since I can't make money anyway, I can only resort to some shady methods... Why are you all looking at me like that? Aren't I doing this for the Moon Radiance Sect?"

"..."

……

……

royal palace.

The Shence Army, clad in gold-plated armor with mountain patterns, stood guard in front of the Qianji Palace, ready for battle.

As elite imperial guards, they were tasked with guarding the imperial court and ensuring the emperor's safety immediately after the unrest broke out.

Anyone who dares to enter the martial law area can be executed first and reported later.

Step, step, step——

The sound of heavy footsteps could be heard.

At this moment, everyone's expressions were extremely solemn as they faced the slowly approaching figure.

Her long, black hair was tied up high, and the armor plates engraved with flowing flame patterns shimmered with gold in the sunlight. She held a long sword in her hand, its blade as smooth as water, radiating a cold light.

Chu Yanli approached the military formation head-on, the air pressure was so low that it made it difficult to breathe.

Just then, a clear voice rang out: "How dare you! Upon seeing Her Highness Xuanhuang, why don't you immediately pay your respects?"

wow-

The soldiers knelt down with a thud and said in unison, "Greetings, Your Highness the Princess!"

A man with a lion tattoo on his shoulder strode through the army formation and stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Your Highness, please wait!"

Chu Yanli stopped, looked him over, and said, "Ji Jingyu?"

Ji Jingyu was taken aback upon hearing this. "Your Highness still remembers me?"

Chu Yanli nodded and said, "Of course I remember. You used to follow Kuang Zheng, right? Back then you were just a lieutenant general. I didn't expect that after a few years, you would have become the commander of the Shence Army."

Ji Jingyu looked delighted.

Chu Yanli held an extremely high position in the military, and to be remembered by this person was a great honor!

"This humble general never expected that the general would still remember my humble name. I am truly flattered!" In a short moment, his address changed from "Your Highness" to "General," which immediately brought them closer.

"I regret that I was unable to see the General's face during my last official business trip to Nan Tu Prefecture..."

"Alright, no need for formalities."

Chu Yanli interrupted, "I need to go in and have a chat with Wu Lie. Tell your men to leave."

"This……"

Ji Jingyu hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Normally, there would be no problem, but the situation is turbulent now, and martial law is in effect in the palace. Without His Majesty's decree, this humble general dares not act rashly."

Chu Yanli raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you going to stop me?"

"Please forgive me, General!"

Ji Jingyu hurriedly knelt down on one knee.

Chu Yanli stared at him silently, while Ji Jingyu lowered his head, sweat rolling down his chin.

After a long silence, she finally spoke, saying, "Alright, after all, it's your duty. I won't make things difficult for you, so I won't go in..."

"Thank you for your understanding, General..."

Just as Ji Jingyu was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he caught a glimpse of dazzling golden light.

Chu Yanli soared into the air, her long sword emitting a beam of light over ten feet long, more dazzling than the blazing sun in the sky!
Let's just get straight to the point.

The golden giant sword swept past the army formation, tore through the void, and slashed fiercely towards the Qianji Palace!
They actually wanted to split the entire palace in two!

A chill ran from Ji Jingyu’s tailbone straight to the top of his head. He knew that the princess had a strong personality, but he did not expect her to be so arrogant!

Before anyone could react, they could only watch helplessly as the sword energy struck the golden roof of the palace!
boom--

The ground trembled violently, and the surging air currents made it difficult for people to stand, but the Qianji Palace remained as stable as a mountain.

A layer of dark shadow enveloped the palace, keeping the blazing sword energy out.

"The turtle's shell is pretty hard!"

Chu Yanli snorted coldly and unleashed her dragon energy without regard for the cost.

The Shadow Shield emitted a piercing, acrid sound, like a ball being squeezed by a tremendous force, forming a deep dent and already on the verge of breaking!

Above the palace, a figure shrouded in shadow suddenly appeared, looking up at Chu Yanli, "Princess, are you planning a rebellion?"

"Just say so."

Chu Yanli grinned maliciously, "You've come at the perfect time. I've been wanting to get rid of you for a long time. Before I see Wu Lie, I'll take care of you, you lackey!"

The sword energy swept outwards, hurtling towards that figure!

The shadowy figure gritted his teeth, "Madman..."

While the fighting raged outside, inside the Qianji Palace, you could hear a pin drop.

The newly arrived eunuch, carrying a medicine box, came to the emperor's bedside and bowed his head, saying, "Your Majesty, it's time for your medicine."

A withered hand emerged from the hanging curtains, picked up a pill, and a hoarse voice asked, "Is the festival over?"

"Your Majesty, it's over." The little eunuch whispered, "May Heaven bless the Great Yuan, the Crown Prince is safe and sound, and is being escorted to the city by the garrison in the capital."

"I understand, you may leave." The emperor waved his hand.

"Yes." The little eunuch bowed and withdrew.

The air was silent for a moment, then a long sigh was heard.

Inside the lavishly decorated bedchamber, Wu Lie leaned against the headboard, gazing at the man lying beside him, chained up, and shook his head, saying, "I told you long ago, your son is utterly useless. The path has been paved, yet he still repeatedly fails..."

"You're supposed to be a wise and virtuous king, so why did you give birth to such a useless son?"

"And that Duan Zhongmou, do you really think I don't know that he is the Dharma body you refined with your blood and sweat?"

"But by now they should have perished along with Chu Heng, right?"

"Now that things have come to this, the mission is over, and there is no longer any need for the Prince Yu's Mansion to exist."

The man's cloudy eyes were devoid of any light as he stared blankly at the ceiling.

"Although we failed at the ancestral hall, it was exactly what I wanted. The sacrificial ceremony to Heaven is now complete, and it's time to seize the destiny."

"Hey...hehe..."

Low laughter echoed inside the hall.

Immediately afterwards, a chilling gnawing sound rang out, accompanied by an indistinct, suppressed growl.

……

……

Tianlan Mountain.

In the bedroom, two figures lay quietly on the bed.

After an unknown amount of time, Ji Hongxiu slowly woke up, her eyes showing a hint of confusion.

"Hiss... my head hurts..."

"What just happened?"

All she remembered was that Bai Xiu insisted on risking his life to enter the Dao Domain. After she tried to persuade him to no avail, she was instead locked in a dark room. She had no idea what happened after that.

However, it seems that she is in good condition now.

Despite being extremely weak and having temporarily lost his cultivation, his foundation has become even more solid.

"What's happening here?"

Ji Hongxiu pinched her chin, completely baffled.

Could it be that there are some extraordinary encounters in the Dao Domain?
She glanced at Chen Mo beside her, then suddenly froze, her eyes somewhat blank, a blush creeping up her cheeks from her burning ears.

"What, what's going on?"

Ji Hongxiu clutched her chest, an indescribable tremor spreading through her chest. "My heart is beating so fast... Why do I have such a strange feeling..."

Although she was a Yin spirit, bearing the three corpses of infatuation, greed, and lust, and her desires were stronger than her original body, she had never experienced such a feeling before.

The man before her was so captivating that she wished she could meld her entire being into his body.

Moreover, this urge is growing stronger and stronger, and I can hardly hold back anymore!

"and many more……"

Why should I endure it?

Ji Hongxiu realized what was happening, and muttered while pinching her chin, "Anyway, Bai Xiu hasn't woken up yet, and Chen Mo is still unconscious, so no one knows what I did... Why should I hold back?"

Thinking of this, she completely dropped her pretense and crawled onto Chen Mo like a snake, greedily enjoying the tenderness that belonged only to the two of them.

After a moment, he seemed to realize something.

"Huh? He's already dizzy, but he still has so much energy?"

"How did Qingxuan manage to do it last time..."

The Daoist Master lowered his body, first testing the waters to make sure there was no "threat," then slowly moved closer...

"Well……"
