Holding the space chat group, the cannon fodder female supporting role ascended

Chapter 773: Changing the Heaven and the Sun
The peacock, now calm, cried out upon seeing the two demon kings:
"Demon King, save me! This cultivator is too arrogant. He captured me when he passed through the Peacock Clan's territory. I was just curious and wanted to ask him why he was with the Rabbit Ancestor. She attacked without saying anything and didn't take the Demon King seriously at all."

Feng Ling glanced at the peacock, noticing nothing amiss, then looked at Yun Xi, raised an eyebrow, and gestured for her to explain.

Yunxi patted Lili's head, and Lili immediately transmitted her voice:

"Your Excellency, this peacock is in the same condition as the spotted tiger, but for some reason, it has regained its senses."

Yunxi narrowed her eyes and said:
"It's alright, as long as the soul remains unchanged, we can catch the other side by the tail."

Lili leaped onto Yunxi's shoulder with a push of her hind legs, then obediently squatted down, waiting to see Yunxi pull out the other's tail.

This scene was witnessed by all the demon cultivators present. Feng Ling and She Baihui exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a tacit understanding.

Bai Manman's eyes flashed. She hadn't expected that the human female cultivator in front of her not only had a high cultivation level, but also treated that fifth-tier little panda as a companion, even allowing it to stand on her shoulder. It should be noted that there was no contract between the two parties, and the little panda's trust fully proved that the female cultivator treated it very well on a daily basis.

Yunxi's decision to let Lili appear was made after careful consideration. If Diandian and Congshan, who had formed a master-servant contract, were released, the Demon King's impression of her would likely be greatly diminished.

Once a demon beast gains intelligence, it becomes a demon cultivator. After it is able to cultivate, it will accept the inheritance of its bloodline. Naturally, it does not want to be forcibly bound to a human cultivator and be driven by him. This is also the reason why low-level demon cultivators rarely leave the demon realm.

Yunxi naturally wouldn't provoke the Demon King, so she chose to have Lili, who wasn't bound to him, appear by her side to increase the demon cultivators' favorability towards her.

The current effect is quite good. Yunxi did not miss the exchange of glances between the two demon kings, and instead cupped her hands and said:
"Two demon kings, I am now confirming my guess. Please do not interrupt my spellcasting."

Feng Ling raised her round fan and said:

"Don't waste time, let's get started!"

She Baihui narrowed her eyes and nodded to indicate that she would not interrupt her spellcasting.

Yunxi then summoned the Soul-Gathering Mirror, which she had replaced after contacting Ox-Head and Horse-Face.

Upon seeing the Soul-Gathering Mirror, the peacock struggled even more fiercely, its eyes beginning to turn red. The demon cultivators present immediately sensed something was wrong and stared intently at the struggling peacock.

Yunxi tossed the Soul-Gathering Mirror onto the peacock's head, then began to forcibly extract the peacock's demon soul by making hand seals.

"Ah! Stop! Stop right now!"

The peacock's mournful cry echoed in Feng Ling's cave, but it did not evoke any pity from Feng Ling. Even She Baihui's face turned gloomy.

Bai Manman widened her fox-like eyes and pointed at the extracted demon soul, saying:

"W-what's going on? How can it be a humanoid demon spirit?"

Fox Handsome's eyes flashed and he said:

"Can't you see? His demonic soul has been replaced by a human's soul."

The Rabbit Ancestor's eyes widened, and she forgot to press the rabbit Sisi, whose head had popped out, back down. This was no small matter; if the souls of high-level demon cultivators were replaced, she didn't dare to think about what would happen next.

Feng Ling's phoenix eyes narrowed, and she stretched out her slender hand, which transformed into a sharp claw. With one claw, she pulled out the peacock's demon core, and the peacock spat out a mouthful of blood before dying.

Yunxi made a hand seal to store the humanoid's soul into the Soul-Gathering Mirror, then looked at Feng Ling and said:

"Phoenix Spirit Demon King, is there a problem with the peacock's demon core?"

Feng Ling looked at the fifth-tier demon core in her hand and said:

"The demon soul within the demon core is long gone."

She Baihui looked at Yun Xi and said in a deep voice, "Young friend Ran Xi, what do you know?"

"I suspect that the high-level demon cultivator who self-destructed was in the same situation as the peacock. His demon soul had long been replaced. In order to make it easier to control, the evil cultivator stuffed the human cultivator's soul into the demon cultivator's body, and then manipulated the human cultivator's soul to detonate the demon core. At the same time, he could destroy the body and cover up the evidence, so that you could not find out anything."

As for the human cultivators whose souls were extracted, they have probably been replaced by evil spirits and returned to human territory. This is why they went to great lengths to lure human cultivators to the demon realm.

Enraged, Feng Ling crushed the armrest of the stone chair and asked in a cold voice:
"Where did the demon soul that was extracted by the evil cultivator go?"

Yunxi thought for a moment and said:

"These captured demon souls will most likely be used as sacrifices to resurrect the evil god."

After the fall of the evil god, his soul must have been severely damaged. To recover his soul as quickly as possible, devouring other souls would be the fastest way.

Previously, evil cultivators went to great lengths to plunder human souls, even going so far as to release numerous imprisoned evil spirits and vengeful ghosts from the eighteen levels of hell in the underworld, none of whom have been brought back to this day.

Human cultivators are now on guard, and the Demon Realm has also seen through their infiltration plan, so the evil cultivators have set their sights on the demon race.

Demons have long lifespans, and although their cultivation and advancement speed is slow, each one is incredibly powerful, especially their demon souls, which are far more resilient than the divine souls of human cultivators. Therefore, they have become targets for evil cultivators.

After listening, Hu Yingjun said:
"What Venerable Ranxi said is right. The evil cultivators once tried to use the newly appeared secret realm as bait to keep us all inside. Unfortunately, Ranxi saw through their plan and severely injured the evil cultivator who wanted to form a contract with the secret realm, which allowed the cultivators who entered the secret realm to escape smoothly."

She Baihui now believed Yunxi's explanation, but she still asked:
How can you be sure there's something wrong with the peacock?

"As soon as he saw me, he pounced on me. His bloodshot eyes betrayed him, so I grabbed him to verify it in person."

After Yunxi finished speaking, she pulled the spotted tiger out of the spirit beast pouch and looked at the two demon kings, saying:
"This spotted tiger also has a problem."

Just then, a tiger's roar interrupted Yunxi's remaining words.

Feng Ling rubbed her temples and said:

"Manman, please invite the Tiger King over."

"Yes."

The moment Bai Manman saw the spotted tiger, she knew the Tiger King was almost there. Sure enough, the Tiger King's roar reached the Demon King's ears even before he arrived.

Yunxi looked at Hu Yingjun, who immediately explained tactfully:

"The one you captured is the little princess of the Tiger Clan, the Tiger King's most beloved junior. If she knew that her precious one was going to have her soul extracted by you, she would probably cause quite a scene."

"It is indeed a bit tricky, but with two demon kings here, they should be able to explain it clearly."

Yunxi immediately kicked the ball to the feet of the two demon kings. Since it concerned the safety of the tiger clan, she could refrain from intervening, but if something really happened later, she wouldn't be held responsible.

The extraction of the peacock's soul earlier had already proven her speculation: the evil cultivator was still up to his old tricks. As long as that strange formation existed, the Demon Realm would never be at peace.

Feng Ling and She Baihui were also a bit of a headache. Although this Tiger King was only at the eighth level, he was still a ruthless character and always protected his own. Since it concerned his most beloved youngest daughter, he must be furious right now.

A moment later, Bai Manman led a tall, burly man into the cave of the Phoenix Spirit Demon King.

Upon seeing the only human cultivator inside the cave, Hu Ben decisively swung his claws, aiming for Yun Xi's back.

　See you tomorrow~ Goodnight~
