I picked up the scattered attributes

And so, time slowly passed.

More and more demonic beasts surged in, gradually reaching their peak, and then began to decrease little by little. By the time night fell, the number of demonic beasts that had not yet entered the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum was already very small.

Just then, as Ma Lu was sighing, he suddenly heard a voice coming from behind him:

"Look over there, isn't that Jiao Jiao?"

……

I took painkillers today, but they don't seem to help much. My head still hurts. It might be because my cold hasn't fully healed, or it could be something else, like the changing seasons...

I'm going to bed early now, I'll continue writing tomorrow... It's almost the end of the month, I need to step up my efforts...

Oh right, I have to catch the train to Nanjing tomorrow... I need to sneak back to Nanjing for a while, the renovations are so damn noisy.

Chapter 0232

Inside the Temple of the Holy Son.

The lighting was dim, and the atmosphere was oppressive.

A whole day has passed, feeling like a long time has gone by, yet also like only a fleeting moment.

However, His Highness could no longer maintain his initial composure; his handsome face had become so gloomy it looked as if water was about to drip from it.

"Jiaojiao still hasn't appeared..."

He muttered to himself in a very low voice.

Mo Zhongxiu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but shudder.

"What's going on? Didn't His Highness say before that everything was under control?"

The former princess of the kingdom felt her heart sink to the bottom, and at the same time, a heartfelt anger arose: "That arrogant dragon deserves to die! The East Sea Dragon Clan has already been wiped out, why didn't he die sooner? He angered His Highness the Holy Son for no reason, he deserves to die a thousand deaths!"

At this moment, the Holy Son of the Demon Clan no longer possessed his usual gentle demeanor.

The feeling that came to Mo Zhongxiu was like a terrifying monster lurking there, ready to open its bloody maw at any moment and devour her flesh and soul.

"you……"

Suddenly, the Holy Son on the throne turned his head sharply, his blood-red eyes locking onto Mo Zhongxiu.

His deep, hoarse voice was completely different from his usual tone, like rusty metal rubbing against each other, sending chills down one's spine.

"Did you just say... that I, the Holy Son, am like a... monster?"

"What...how did you know..."

Mo Zhongxiu was shocked and horrified. The unparalleled astonishment and shock completely shattered her psychological defenses in an instant!

In an instant, her body seemed to freeze completely.

No matter how she tried to move, her whole body felt like it was filled with lead, and she couldn't move an inch. Then, this former eldest princess of the Xuanwu Kingdom was lifted up out of thin air.

Her long legs twitched uncontrollably, her eyes were filled with terror, and tears, both sour and bitter, welled up and soaked her clothes.

However, all she could see was the Holy Son's slightly distorted face.

This left Mo Zhongxiu feeling extremely bewildered and terrified. How could His Highness know the thoughts that were on his mind? And why was His Highness so furious?

Could it be that……

Just because of the word "monster"?

"Monsters? What makes you think we're monsters?"

His Highness's face was contorted, and veins throbbed and twitched: "The thing I hate most in my life is being called a monster..."

Mo Zhongxiu watched helplessly as His Highness raised a hand with bulging veins, grabbed at her in mid-air, and her body rose higher and higher, becoming increasingly stiff like a rock.

Tick!

Tick!

After an unknown amount of time, the Holy Son's Palace was completely silent.

Only the sound of dripping liquid added to the eeriness and gloom.

At this moment, Mo Zhongxiu could no longer perceive her own body. Even her consciousness began to drift away, gradually dissipating, and she was about to completely pass away.

Her mind was already filled with the fear of death.

Suddenly, the force acting on Mo Zhongxiu froze, and as if sensing something, he abruptly stood up from his throne and looked towards the direction of the twelfth gate: "Jiaojiao... you've finally come!"

Before the final gate, the few remaining demonic beasts were entering in an orderly fashion.

Suddenly, a hand slapped on Ma Lu's back: "Look over there, isn't that Jiao Jiao?"

"What? Xia Donghai, you're saying that Jiao Jiao has appeared?"

To Feng Xia's slight surprise, the moment he heard those words, Ma Lu roared without thinking, his voice shaking the heavens and instantly attracting the attention of many monsters.

Although many demonic beasts entered the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum, even more remained outside.

even……

There is even a demon king among them!

"What? That Jiao Jiao is still alive?"

"Didn't the Demon God Palace release the news that that guy had been killed and the East Sea Dragon Clan had been wiped out?"

"Could it be... that the information from the Demon God Palace is incorrect?"

The scene immediately erupted in chaos.

Even Feng Xia was taken aback for a moment. Then, he heard Ma Lu's sneer, which came through a faint magical force: "Xia Donghai, this old man has been waiting for you! You want to trick this old man? No way!"

I've been... outsmarted by someone else?

Upon realizing this, Feng Xia couldn't help but show a look of bewilderment.

After being the mastermind behind so many times, it's finally his turn to be the one targeted. In a sense, this can be considered his first time.

"However, although this guy's method is simple, it's quite effective. It's like he's drawn a huge wave of hatred for me in an instant..."

That being said, Feng Xia wasn't particularly angry.

After all, since he transmigrated, he has attracted more than one or two waves of hatred, so he wouldn't feel any difference if a few more came.

not to mention……

"Do you think this is beyond my expectations?"

The smug Ma Lu was completely unaware that Feng Xia's lips were slightly upturned, showing no sign of panic despite the scene before him.

"Kid, next time you see me, remember to kneel down and call me grandpa!"

The bizarre-looking beast laughed loudly in the telepathic transmission, but the next instant, it saw the handsome young man pat it on the shoulder: "Jiaojiao, I never expected you to turn into such a grotesque creature! You almost fooled even His Highness the Holy Son—"

The next moment, Ma Lu's aura changed drastically!

An aura unique to the East Sea Jiao Clan was released without reservation, immediately causing an unprecedented sensation.

"This aura... it is indeed from the East Sea Dragon Clan!"

"I never expected this! It's so close yet so far away! That arrogant dragon is really bold, hiding right under our noses!"

In an instant, countless monsters were in an uproar.

"you you you--"

Before Ma Lu could react, he was once again shocked to see the young man suddenly raise his hand to cover his chest, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his breathing suddenly weakening and collapsing.

Not only that, the youth seemed to have been struck by a terrifying force, his chest visibly caved in, and he flew backward, stumbling and crashing into the twelfth gate!

Immediately afterwards, the twelfth gate collapsed and shattered.

"Jiaojiao...you actually plotted against me—"

In the end, all that remained for everyone was Xia Donghai's shocked and angry shout, and the figure that disappeared into the teleportation portal like a piece of duckweed.

In the next instant, the holy son of the Yao people suddenly descended.

A terrifying aura swept across the area, seemingly capable of scorching rivers and boiling seas, instantly enveloping the road completely.

“You…are fine!”

……

Chapter 0233

"It's finally settled. Being weak is such a hassle."

A dizzying sensation struck Feng Xia, yet he felt incredibly relieved, which meant he had finally escaped the Demon Capital and entered the so-called Demon Emperor's Mausoleum!

As for his eventual destruction of the sect, it was entirely a casual act.

simply put……

Eat shit, you demon prince!

"Our strength is still not enough."

Once he stepped onto solid ground, Feng Xia sighed again: "Back in the Forsaken Land of Gods, I wasn't strong enough. I still wasn't strong enough in the Valley of a Thousand Autumns. And now in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, there are a whole bunch of people stronger than me..."
