The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"...Really, Aunt? Are you sure?"

Emerald's expression suddenly became somewhat strange:

"With my charm, aren't you worried that I'll steal away all the beautiful noble girls of Shangying Kingdom?"

　"Little Ellie, you're really narcissistic..."

Tian Gongxue smiled gently:

"Don't worry, although you've always been popular when you come, it's not so easy to completely win someone over... Not every girl is love-struck. Many of the girls who flattered you before were just doing it for their family's benefit, you know?"

"...That's true, okay then."

Emery paused for a moment, then this time she was truly ready to leave.

"Then it's settled. Aunt, you can spread the word first so that the girls who want to become my disciples can prepare in advance."

. . . . .

After leaving Shangying Kingdom, Amelie quickly arrived in the southwest of Tianyun Empire, the place where the level 7 magic tide appeared.

Similar to the situation in the Allen Federation, the Tianyun Empire also adopted a strategy of having the Southern Legion guard the perimeter of the Demon Tide while leaving the suppression of the Demon Tide to top-tier experts.

Currently, the only top-tier experts in the Tianyun Empire capable of easily defeating a level 7 demonic tide are Empress Ji Xinyu and former Immortal Sect Senior Sister Tianyin.

When Amelite arrived, the core area of ​​the demonic tide was littered with the corpses of demons, almost all of which were killed with a single blow. This was true for both ancient dragon-level and giant dragon-level demons, and it was clear that they were all killed by Tianyin with the Divine Firmament Sword.

At the very center of the core area of ​​the demonic tide, Amelie met her junior sister, the Empress, and her grumpy swordswoman maid. Neither of them was seriously injured, but they looked somewhat tired. At their feet, which were clad in black and white stockings respectively, there were scattered ashes containing a strong demonic tide power.

"Oh dear, Senior Sister, you're so slow! Why did it take you so long... Now we'll have to wait several more hours to clear the demonic tide again."

Upon seeing Emerald, Ji Xinyu immediately rushed over, hugged Emerald's arm, and acted coquettishly, even giving Tianyin a provocative look.

The grumpy-faced swordswoman maid's expression grew even more sour, but she still obediently walked over and bowed to Emerald using the maid etiquette taught by Marcy, holding her sword in one hand and lifting the hem of her skirt with the other:

"Greetings, Master."

"Ah."

While pinching Ji Xinyu's soft waist, Amelie reached out and rubbed Tianyin's chin, then forcibly turned Tianyin's grumpy face into a smile:

"Tell me in detail, what exactly happened?"

"Replying to Master..."

After being forced to smile, Tianyin could only manage to keep a smile on her face when she answered. However, her smile looked rather strange; it was beautiful but also a little scary.

From Tianyin's almost monotone report, Amelie quickly understood the situation and why Ji Xinyu had asked her for help.

Simply put, this level 7 Demon Tide Lord has very poor combat compatibility with Ji Xinyu and Tianyin; in fact, it could be said that both of them are countered by the Demon Tide Lord's mechanics.

The people and items that could have resolved this level 7 demonic tide within the Tianyun Empire were all lost in the battle at Yunshan.

The lord of this level 7 demonic tide is a giant serpent that is over three meters thick and over a hundred meters long, which is the black ash at the feet of Tianyin and Ji Xinyu.

This giant snake wasn't particularly strong in combat, at least not to Tianyin and Ji Xinyu, but it had an incredibly tenacious life force and a disgusting ability—after being cut into pieces, each piece could split into an independent small snake.

When this level 7 demonic tide first appeared, Ji Xinyu didn't even have to make a move. Tianyin, wielding the Shenxiao Sword, easily cut through it all. Almost all the demons were killed with a single sword strike. The giant serpent, the leader of the demonic tide, was also sliced ​​into hundreds of pieces of snake meat in a single exchange.

But what followed was truly disgusting. The snake meat that had been cut into hundreds of pieces by the Divine Firmament Sword did not die. Instead, it split into smaller snakes, each incredibly fast. When attacking, these snakes would deliberately burrow into people's clothes. Not only did Tianyin, who had shattered the giant snake, receive special attention, but even Ji Xinyu, who had come to watch the spectacle, was not spared.

Having no other choice, Ji Xinyu had to join Tianyin in killing the snake, but even with her help, the results were not good.

After discovering that no matter how she slashed, the number of snakes only increased, Tenon also tried to use the Divine Lightning to break the giant snake's ability to split.

However, the giant serpent's splitting ability is based on its biological characteristics and is not a form of magic, so the effect of the Divine Lightning is not good... It's roughly equivalent to a single-target overkill in a game, but there are many enemies.

Ji Xinyu also tried to use the Netherworld Soul Technique to kill the snake, but the Netherworld Soul Technique is an attack that targets the soul, and the giant snake has no soul and is almost immune to the Netherworld Soul Technique, which immediately rendered Ji Xinyu's strongest attack method useless.

Fortunately, this giant snake is not invincible. Burning it with Samadhi True Fire is quite effective, and there are also many large-area group attack spells in the Samadhi True Fire spells.

However, neither Tianyin nor Ji Xinyu are proficient in fire magic, so their use of Samadhi True Fire to kill the snake would definitely not be as effective as using their own preferred abilities and techniques.

Most importantly, even if the Samadhi True Fire is used to burn the giant serpent to ashes, it will only kill the Demon Tide Lord. The Demon Tide itself will not dissipate. It can be reborn in more than 10 hours, just like the level 7 Demon Tide in the Federation.

While Emery was purifying the high priestesses of the Tengu Shrine and studying the shrine's magical records, Tenon and Himeko had killed the giant snake more than 10 times, but they still couldn't completely resolve the level 7 demonic tide. After fighting for many days, the two of them were also somewhat exhausted.

Sealing and suppressing beings that are difficult to kill is not a new idea, and Ji Xinyu and Tianyin had certainly thought of it long ago.

However, when they tried to contact the outside world to find powerful individuals and magical artifacts capable of sealing the level 7 demonic tide, they discovered that the Tianyun Empire no longer possessed such powerful individuals or magical artifacts.

When trying to prevent the Dao Ancestor from merging with the Dao, Amelie had a backup plan: to find a way to seal the Dao Ancestor's physical body.

To prevent the plan from being disrupted by cultivators skilled in sealing spells within the immortal sects, Amelie devised another plan. She had Theresa Scarlet Moon draw aggro while Red Robe used the Netherworld Soul Technique to launch a sneak attack, eliminating all the powerful cultivators skilled in sealing spells within the immortal sects in one fell swoop.

Even the magical artifacts with strong sealing abilities from the immortal sects were targeted by the obedient Yulia during the battle, and were all shattered and destroyed by her brute force.

This has led to the fact that when the Tianyun Empire urgently needs sealing magic to deal with the demonic tide, it cannot find a single expert skilled in sealing magic, nor can it find a powerful magic weapon with sealing capabilities.

Left with no other option, Ji Xinyu had to ask Amelie for help.

"So that's why..."

After listening to Tianyin's explanation, Amelie was speechless. In a way, she deserved it. In order to ensure the success of the backup plan, she had killed all the powerful people in the immortal sect who were good at sealing spells. Now that the Tianyun Empire needed sealing spells, she had no choice but to do it herself.

However, Amelie didn't regret it. Even if she knew she would suffer afterwards, if given another chance, she would still choose to kill all the powerful immortals who were good at sealing spells to ensure the success rate of her plan... even if it was just a backup plan that was not used. That's what caution is.

Because Ameliete's arrival was delayed by a little time, the Demon Tide Lord Giant Serpent was burned to death by Ji Xinyu and Tianyin with Samadhi True Fire. To seal the Demon Tide here, we have to wait for more than 10 hours for the Demon Tide to re-emerge.

Taking this opportunity, Amelie first set up the same sealing array, and then discussed with Ji Xinyu the matter of cultivating sealing magic talents.

Since the Tianyun Empire is in dire need of talent skilled in sealing magic, and Ameliete intends to take on many disciples to teach them sealing magic... then teaching students from one country is teaching, teaching students from three countries is teaching, and it doesn't matter if there are more people.

So Ji Xinyu readily reached an agreement with Amelite: once the level 7 demonic tide here was successfully resolved, she would immediately send people throughout the empire to gather eligible young women with cultivation talent and send them to the Federation to become Amelite's disciples.

Of course, since spiritual power and magic power are different in nature, the eligible girls sent from the Tianyun Empire to the Federation will be the same as those from the Shangying Kingdom. They will all be girls with cultivation talent but who have not yet cultivated. They will all become magic power cultivators under the tutelage of Amelie.

Some young women of marriageable age who have recently begun cultivating spiritual power can also abandon their current cultivation level and start cultivating again with Amelie if they wish; this is not difficult.

Besides this matter, Amelie also asked Tianyin how the Tianyun Empire had dealt with the level 7 demonic tide in the past.

The Allen Federation has the shortest history of establishment, and this is only the second time it has experienced a Level 7 magic tide.

However, the Tianyun Empire has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and during this period it has experienced more than one or two Level 7 demonic tides. Perhaps we can learn from the wisdom of those predecessors.

“I’ve checked the records of the Immortal Sect. Those level 7 demonic tides were all dealt with by my master personally.”

However, Tianyin's answer, while somewhat expected, was of no reference value:

"Master's sword can obliterate everything, including the level 7 demonic tide. The demons that we could only seal with all our might are nothing but trash that Master can destroy with a single sword strike."

"Ji Yue personally killed him... tsk."

Amelie clicked her tongue. In fact, this was the answer she least wanted to hear, but it really was... Although the Tianyun Empire had been passed down for ten thousand years, no one except the Dao Ancestor had the ability or experience to deal with a level 7 demonic tide.

Similarly, the records from the Elf Kingdom are probably not very useful for reference. It's obvious that the Elf Queen always dealt with the level 7 magic tides that the Elf race encountered.

The Elf Queen may possess some kind of spell that can completely annihilate the 7th Demon Tide, and it is highly likely that it is a spell that Ameliete can learn.

However, the Elf Queen is currently in a deep slumber. Forcibly waking her could very well turn her into a lustful evil god capable of destroying the world, which is too risky. It's better to let her sleep for a few more years first.

As for Shangying Kingdom… Emerald estimated that the powerful demons that the Divine Tree mentioned, which she had suppressed under its roots and were difficult to completely eliminate, were likely the Demon Lords of the Level 7 Demon Tide. Otherwise, given the Divine Tree's strength, it was hard to say what demons would be impossible to completely eliminate.

Therefore, the best way to deal with the Level 7 Demon Tide at present is to seal it first, and then slowly study the secrets of the Demon Tide's power to find a way to completely destroy the Level 7 Demon Tide.

Time flew by as they discussed these matters, and the level 7 demonic tide, which was the lord of the giant serpent, was reborn.

Like the level 7 demonic tide in the Federation, the monsters in this demonic tide obviously all had memories of being killed more than ten times before. Their first reaction after being reborn was to scatter and flee, and they had no desire to fight Tianyin and the others again.

Even if a mere demon wanted to escape, how could it possibly escape the lightning of the Divine Firmament Sword?

Tianyin became the senior disciple of the immortal sect entirely through her own strength. Even if Amelie were to fight Tianyin again now, she wouldn't dare say she has a 100% chance of winning.

Sword energy crisscrossed, lightning crackled, and without Ji Xinyu even lifting a finger, the newly revived demons were once again easily slain by the Divine Firmament Sword, leaving corpses strewn across the ground.

The giant serpent with the ability to split was once again cleaved into hundreds of pieces by the sword light, splitting into hundreds of smaller serpents no longer than an arm.

The little snakes tried to use the same trick again, attempting to crawl under Tianyin and the others' clothes to launch an attack. This time, they didn't even spare Amelite, and even made her the weakest one to focus their attention on.

So Emery didn't hold back and immediately activated the seal she had set up beforehand, trapping all the little snakes in the inverted cauldron-shaped sealing barrier and continuously compressing it.

Like the giant spider in the Federation, this serpent, even after splitting, was still squeezed into a few meters by the ever-shrinking sealing barrier, compressed into a large lump of meat paste, and completely suppressed by Emeryte's sealing magic.

"...No matter how many times I watch it, I still feel that your sealing magic is amazing."

Ji Xinyu, who hadn't made a move in the battle, looked at the giant serpent so easily sealed by Emerald, her expression complicated.

"Humph."

Seeing this, Amelie pinched Ji Xinyu's waist again, a gesture that was both flirtatious and a warning:

"So, junior sister, you'd better watch out... If you dare to cause trouble in the future, I'll seal you up with your butt facing outwards and punish you severely every day."

"If you, senior sister, were to treat me like this, it wouldn't be a punishment but a reward... Maybe I'd deliberately cause trouble to get that reward?"

Ji Xinyu, however, was not afraid at all. Instead, she flirted with Amelite and provoked her, making Amelite want to engage in dual cultivation immediately.

"Please, Master, show some self-respect. Is this the time to do those things?"

In the end, Tianyin couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted the atmosphere between the two with a sour face.

The atmosphere was over, so Amelie shrugged, released her arm from Ji Xinyu, and went to check the seal she had just completed.

"...Well, if it doesn't suffer external damage, this seal should last for at least two months without any problems. Then I can just come back and recharge it once more."

The side effect of the giant serpent's incredible vitality is that it is slightly weaker than the giant spider, making this seal more effective against it.

"Let's leave it at that for now."

After checking the seal, Emery ignored Ji Xinyu's suggestive glances inviting her to sit at a nearby royal villa and directly took her leave:

"I'm going back to the Federation first. You should select suitable girls and send them to me as soon as possible... There's a high probability that Level 7 magic tides will occur frequently in the future. I can't handle sealing them all by myself. I need to quickly train a group of reliable disciples."

“Alright, when I get back, I will issue an order in the name of the Empress, instructing local officials to personally search for suitable talents among the people.”

Seeing that her invitation had failed, Ji Xinyu quickly switched to serious mode and agreed.

"Although the Immortal Sect has split, as the senior sister of the Immortal Sect, I am still respected by those independent cultivation sects."

Tianyin nodded seriously as well:

"I will send messages to those cultivation sects one by one, asking them to select some female disciples who have just started cultivating or have not yet begun formal cultivation, and send them to you, Master."

"So good."

Emery affirmed their attitudes, and without lingering, she flashed off and embarked on her journey back to the Allen Federation.

Chapter 386 What can be inherited is not only property, but also debts.

"Huh? Honey? What are you still doing here?"

After returning to the Allen Federation, Amelie's first priority was to check the seal on the giant spider, only to find that Julia was also there.

"After all, it's the legendary and terrifying Level 7 demonic tide..."

Yulia swayed her twin ponytails and chuckled:

"So I'm always a little worried, and I take some time every day to check on it. If it really escapes early or is released by someone, I can deal with it in time."

"Oh... my dear, you really are a born hero."

Faced with this, Amelie could only hug and kiss Yulia before starting to examine the seal that had been in place for almost half a month.

Similar to Emery's own calculations, nearly 30% of the seal has already been eroded, and the giant spider inside will likely break free in about half a month.

There's nothing that can be done about it. After all, it's a level 7 demonic tide, and the magical power required to seal and suppress it is enormous. Without a spellcaster like Emery to maintain it personally, the magical power of the seal itself will eventually be depleted by the demons inside.

Emerald also knew the technique of extracting magic from the environment to maintain the seal, but the amount of magic required to maintain such a seal was too great. If all the magic was extracted from the environment, it would easily cause a regional imbalance of magic, triggering natural disasters such as hurricanes, blizzards, skyfires, and earthquakes.

That's why Emerald immediately went to the Kingdom of Sakura to learn new sealing techniques.

Now is the perfect time to try a new technique that combines the magic of the Heavenly Shrine to reinforce the seal on this giant spider.

Let's start with Holy Light... Although Amelie initially learned necromancy, Holy Magic has now become her signature, and it is also more effective than other spells in sealing abilities.

With Amelie's gestures, the bright but not dazzling holy light quickly gathered and crystallized above the seal, eventually transforming into a female crystal statue about 5 meters tall.

The female crystal statue's face clearly resembles Amelie, and her clothing style is also similar to that of the Winged Saintess, except that she lacks the wings on her back; it's a two-dimensional deity's robe and stockings.

Just as the divine tree used its own form to suppress powerful demons under its roots, this female crystal statue also sealed and suppressed the demonic tide.

She can not only further strengthen the seal, but also slowly extract the highly compressed demonic energy inside the seal, and display the erosion status inside the seal in real time.

In its initial state, the crystal is a pale golden crystal with sacred properties, appearing incomparably holy, like a saint.

As the seal is continuously eroded by the power of the demonic tide, the crystal statue will also be gradually blackened, and its image will change from a saintess to a witch. When the image of the crystal statue completely becomes that of a witch, it means that the seal is completely destroyed and the demonic tide inside is about to break through and erupt.
