Join the ServerFar from feeling relieved at having her life saved by the Demon King, Bai Ling was overcome with shame.
As the King’s capable assistant, she had not only proved incompetent but now required the King’s direct intervention.
The sensation was truly unbearable.
“Bai Ling, heal your wounds.”
Upon hearing the King’s command, Bai Ling gritted her teeth. She did not defy the order, immediately employing the Hedgehog Clan’s secret healing technique.
In mere seconds, the wound on her shoulder rapidly healed, leaving not the slightest trace.
Witnessing this, Zi Linglong’s eyes flashed with caution, realizing she had encountered a formidable opponent this time.
The cultivation technique she practiced left a corrosive effect on enemies after an attack. Yet, this demoness named Bai Ling merely patted her shoulder, and the wound vanished instantly.
Possessing such a secret art, it was no wonder she could serve as the Demon King’s subordinate, even with less formidable combat prowess.
Zi Linglong gazed up at the suddenly appearing Demon King. When she saw the red horns on their head, her purple pupils instinctively constricted, and a premonition of unease settled in her heart.
Red horns…
If her guess was correct, the true form of this fiery-red-haired demon was a Flood Dragon, known for their invincible physical bodies!
Only Flood Dragon horns were red; other ordinary demon horns were typically black or brown.
If demons were humanity’s foremost enemy, then Flood Dragons were beings whose mere mention evoked dread. Flood Dragons possessed formidable bodies; even human cultivators of the same rank were no match for them.
While communication between humans and demons was sparse, whispers always managed to leak out. Yet, Zi Linglong had never heard that a Flood Dragon had actually become a King among demons!
It seemed the cultivation world was destined for unrest once more.
No, before chaos erupted, she had to bring Ye Cha to the Southern Barbarian Lands. No matter how powerful the demon race might be, once they entered the Southern Barbarian Lands, they would be like turtles caught in a jar, unable to cause much trouble no matter how much they struggled.
Having already considered Ye Cha her future companion, Zi Linglong’s mindset shifted rapidly. All her previous aversion to Ye Cha had vanished, replaced by curiosity and closeness, making her wish her true body could come directly and take Ye Cha away.
However, this was merely a clone; it was unlikely to be a match for the Demon King.
In that case, her only option was to prioritize Ye Cha’s safety and prevent him from falling into the hands of the demon race.
The demon race was vicious and cruel; Ye Cha’s life would very likely be forfeit.
Moreover, how could a man claimed by Zi Linglong be tainted by other women!
After swiftly making her decision, Zi Linglong gazed at the two demons before her, a slight, involuntary smile curving her lips. She had never imagined that one day she would willingly make sacrifices for a man.
Indeed, live long enough, and you’ll see everything.
Still, this novel sensation, experienced for the first time, wasn’t bad.
In fact, she didn’t find it repulsive at all.
There was even a sense of satisfaction.
She would not regret such a commitment for Ye Cha.
However, retrieving Ye Cha from the Ziyan Sect later would come at a considerable cost, requiring her true body to intervene!
The madwoman of the Ziyan Sect gave her a headache just thinking about it.
Yet, judging by Ye Cha’s resourcefulness, he could certainly protect himself within the Ziyan Sect.
This eased her mind; she just needed to arrive quickly afterward.
With these thoughts, Zi Linglong no longer hesitated. She swiftly used the Five Ghosts Transportation Art to snatch the scorpion egg from Bai Ling’s hand, then instantly vanished from the cave using a secret technique.
Bai Ling’s expression changed dramatically. The next moment, under the Demon King’s lead, the two demons rapidly departed the cave.
From Bai Ling’s appearance to her departure, less than ten minutes had passed, yet for Wang Li, it felt like an eternity.
However, he was fortunate that Zi Linglong’s sudden appearance had diverted the demons’ attention.
Otherwise, they would all have perished there today!
Yet, Wang Li had never imagined… that Ye Cha, that despicable man, was truly adept at seducing women. In just a few days, he had even entangled himself with the ghost cultivator, Zi Linglong.
Upon reaching the Ziyan Sect, perhaps even the sect master would have her heart and soul captivated by Ye Cha.
Pui!
Shameless.
What else could Ye Cha do besides seduce women? He was nothing but a five-spirit-root waste.
Having narrowly escaped death, the accumulated negative emotions were overwhelming, compelling Wang Li to find an outlet. He needed to vent all these foul feelings to find some relief.
In that moment, insulting Ye Cha was the most direct and effective way for Wang Li to release his stress.
“Wang Li, the demons have left, but our business is far from over.”
As Wang Li’s mood rapidly recovered, Ye Cha lifted his hand, removed the bamboo hat veiled with white gauze, and unhurriedly placed it into his Sumeru Ring. His steps, however, were anything but slow as he approached Wang Li.
Ye Cha had not so easily forgotten how Wang Li had tried to drag him down when the demons sought to take Wang Li away.
Originally, Ye Cha had believed that the ordeal of leaving the Lingtian Sect would keep Wang Li subdued for a while.
At least, he wouldn’t cause any more trouble before they reached the Ziyan Sect.
However, despite traveling for only a few days, they had encountered numerous incidents.
This prompted Ye Cha to quickly alter his plans, realizing he could not simply drift along. He needed to make proper arrangements; otherwise, it was uncertain whether they would even reach the Ziyan Sect alive if things continued as they were.
His luck, both before and after his transmigration, had always been rather poor!
“Hmph, Ye Cha, you can’t kill me, can you? No matter how much Ke Qian dotes on you, you can’t lay a finger on me, otherwise…”
Listening to Ye Cha’s sudden interrogation, Wang Li scoffed, paying no mind to his words.
Even without the scorpion egg, he possessed something even more precious to the demon race.
Wang Li was no fool. Such an important item, naturally, had to be kept hidden, not openly displayed. Fortunately, it wasn’t like the demon egg that couldn’t be stored in a spatial bag; otherwise, if Ye Cha saw it, he would surely want to claim it for himself.
After all, rumor had it that this item could reduce one’s spirit roots by one.
Ye Cha, a five-spirit-root waste, would never let go of such a valuable treasure.
However, Ke Qian would also not refuse such a valuable item.
Between a man and cultivation, any clear-headed person would choose the latter.
This was Wang Li’s current composure, knowing that no matter how angry Ye Cha became, it would be futile.
Initially, Wang Li had intended to offer the demon egg and keep this valuable item to reduce his own spirit roots. But who knew an accident would occur so suddenly, leaving him no time to react?
However, compared to his life, these were all external possessions.
“I wouldn’t dare lay a finger on you?”
Upon hearing Wang Li’s words, Ye Cha’s lips curled into a cold, upward arc. Ye Cha would never show mercy to anyone who sought his life.
The next moment, a cold flash of light appeared.
Wang Li’s left palm was severed, and five shattered fingers rapidly fell to the ground.
