192: Chapter 192 The Green Snake's Consciousness is Affected

By the time Daya arrived, travel-worn and riding her Escape Light.

Xu Qing and Elder Li were meditating to recover their Qi.

Blood was still streaming from Xu Qing's right eye.

Even with Xu Qing's absurd Self-Healing power, the bleeding wouldn't stop.

He could only wrap his right eye with bandages.

His appearance was becoming more and more "chunibyo."

He explained what had happened to the newly arrived Daya.

Daya looked at Xu Qing with concern.

"Should we try gouging the eye out?"

Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.

Having an eye gouged out would be very painful.

And it might not even work; he had tried chopping off his right hand before, but it didn't remove the Blood Seal.

Damn that Demon Lord.

First he forced a tattoo on me, and now he's forcing a colored contact lens on me.

What a sadistic fellow.

He doesn't consider my status as a civil servant of the Cultivation World or my identity as a River God at all.

He only thinks about how to quickly turn me into a Subordinate Demon.

"After gouging it out, I'll use a Secret Technique to Seal the eyeball."

"Do you want to try?"

After Daya spoke, she and Elder Li both looked toward Xu Qing.

"..."

"Is there any anesthesia?"

Xu Qing wanted to struggle a little bit.

"No, but it won't hurt. It'll be over quickly."

Daya comforted him with a smile.

That smile looked exactly like when he went to see the dentist in his past life.

Back then, the dentist had said the same thing.

The following scenes are too bloody...

"It's not working."

Daya said as she looked at the eyeball in her hand, which had turned into a puddle of bloody water.

The eye Xu Qing was covering wouldn't stop bleeding.

A mass of flesh squirmed and grew within the eye socket, quickly becoming a new eyeball.

It was still a blood-red eye, without the slightest change.

"Should we gouge it out again?"

"No!"

Xu Qing refused.

What kind of torture is this?

"We can only use a Seal to Seal the eye so it's no longer used."

"Just like using Buddhist Dharma to Seal and suppress your Blood Seal."

Daya suggested a reliable method.

Only then did Xu Qing breathe a sigh of relief.

"Continue using the Buddhist Dharma Seal?"

Xu Qing asked.

Daya shook her head.

"Buddhist Dharma won't work anymore."

"Just sealing the Blood Seal on your arm has already pushed Buddhist Dharma to its limit."

"We must find a new Secret Technique."

"I will find one."

Daya said in a firm tone.

"..."

Xu Qing felt that any thanks would seem pale and weak, so he simply stopped speaking.

But after a while.

He really couldn't hold back his desire to show gratitude.

He opened his mouth.

"Daya, I'm willing to give you the title of the Number One Snake in the Snake World."

"Get lost."

It seemed the gratitude wasn't very successful.

What a fickle woman.

Clearly, she used to hold his tail and constantly beg him to give her this title.

As expected, the cold world of cultivation had worn down her childhood dreams.

They continued flying toward the River God Temple.

Because of the Glacier Secret Realm, a large number of Cultivators had gathered in Green Snake City.

These Cultivators were there to trade various Materials from the Glacier Secret Realm.

With the Green Treasure Pavilion, backed by the Xuanyun Sect and Xuanji Sect, notarizing trades, this place had developed into one of the centers of the Xia Dynasty and even the Cultivation World.

This grand scene would continue until the Glacier Secret Realm was completely excavated.

This would take at least a hundred years.

And Xu Qing's River God Temple was located in the center of Green Snake Town.

It could be said to be one of the safest places in the Xia Dynasty.

At this moment, Xu Qing was in the Snake Cave of the River God Temple, moaning softly.

His whole body was burning hot, and his blood temperature continued to rise.

Bloody shadows constantly flashed before his eyes.

His consciousness was becoming filled with Chaos.

A week had passed since he encountered the Sea of Blood.

A few days ago, Elder Li and Daya had left, splitting up to find a method to suppress the demonic resentment.

"Senior Brother?"

Xu Linger's voice came from outside the Snake Cave.

As if catching a pleasant scent, Xu Qing flicked his tail and rushed toward the entrance.

The Xiliang Sword unsheathed naturally; he gripped it and thrust it toward Xu Linger's neck at the entrance.

The Blood Seal on his right arm glowed red, and his right eye shone with an eerie blood-light in the darkening Snake Cave.

"Buzz!"

The Xiliang Sword let out a resistant hum, pulling Xu Qing's arm to avoid her neck.

But it still pierced through Xu Linger's shoulder in an instant.

Xu Qing thistalent snapped back to his senses.

He looked at Xu Linger, pinned against the stone wall and unable to move, then glanced at the Xiliang Sword vibrating incessantly in his hand.

[Ding! Proficiency requirements met.]

[Blood Sea Pupil Lv.1 promoted to Blood Sea Pupil Lv.2.]

The System's cold voice rang out like a soulless death warrant.

[Beginning forced evolution: World-Ending Serpent Follower of Demon.]

"I can't... wait any longer."

"I'm sorry, Junior Sister."

Xu Qing pulled out the Xiliang Sword and pressed his hand against Xu Linger's shoulder.

"Heal."

A green spiritual light shone, and the sword wound on her shoulder quickly recovered as if it had never been there.

"Senior Brother, are you really okay?"

Xu Linger looked at Xu Qing, feeling that he seemed to have changed a lot in just that moment.

He was more serious, no longer frivolous.

He was the serious Green Snake she yearned for the most.

But now, she wanted to see the frivolous Green Snake even more.

"It's nothing."

"That was just an accident. You know my current situation is a bit dire."

"But the Grand Elder of the Xuanji Sect and Elder Li will find a way to solve my current problem."

"Don't worry."

Xu Qing said with a smile.

"...That doesn't sound like something you would say, Senior Brother."

Xu Qing didn't answer Xu Linger.

He also knew there were problems with his current emotions and thoughts.

But the situation couldn't wait any longer.

Without a doubt, the Blood Sea Pupil was different from the Blood Seal; it would level up on its own.

If this continued, he would eventually be replaced by that Sea of Blood and become a Puppet.

Instead of continuing to wait for Elder Li and Daya, it was better to stake everything on one throw.

Completely release the Buddhist Dharma Seal and activate the Demon Lord's Blood Seal.

No longer hiding, he would use his body to attract Demon Disciples.

Then, as the Demon Lord wished, he would go on a killing spree.

To see whether the Demon Lord would control his body first, or if he would evolve into a Boundary Green Snake first.

"I'm like a mantis right now, a mantis parasitized by a horsehair worm."

"These thoughts of mine might all be the influence of the Demon Lord."

"All to lead me to my death."

Xu Qing sighed, but still slithered out of the Snake Cave.

"Senior Brother, are you leaving the River God Temple?"

"Just going out for some fresh air."

Xu Qing replied casually without looking back, flicking his tail as he left.

Xu Linger gave a bitter smile.

Then she pulled a token out from her robes.

"Elder Li, you must not let anything happen to Senior Brother."

"Crack."

The token shattered.

In the Green Treasure Pavilion, Elder Li's Clone opened its eyes.

"..."

"Things have become dire."

Elder Li's Clone stood up.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the Green Snake that had come to find him three days ago...

"Elder Li, from now on, I will not take a single step out of the River God Temple."

"If I do go out, it means my thoughts have already been influenced by the Demon Lord."

"You must find a way to stop me."

The Green Snake was a snake that would even plot against his future self.

"I have the twin swords left by my original body."

"I should be able to easily subdue Niang Niang, right?"

Elder Li's figure flashed, leaving behind only a dissipating afterimage.
