304: Temptation

The Purple-haired woman closed her eyes and said lazily, "It's fine. My mother has always doted on me since I was little. It won't be long before they calm down, and then I'll go back."

"This time, I really have to thank you. Now, besides here with you, I truly have nowhere else to go."

The Green-haired woman splashed in the water, changing from lying down to propping herself up, her voice tinged with worry, "We've been good sisters for so many years; this little matter is nothing."

"It's just that this incident is so big. Is it really okay?"

The Purple-haired woman slightly opened her eyes, shook her hair, and said, "Oh, A Qing, don't worry about this! Just watch me!"

With that, she submerged her head in the water and swam a few laps in the hot spring.

She surfaced from the side and splashed water at the Green-haired woman, "Come on, A Qing, come and play!"

She didn't care at all about being naked on the water's surface, shouting loudly for her friend to come and play.

The Green-haired woman looked at her friend's carefree demeanor and sighed helplessly.

Her good sister was just like that, protected too well by the elders in the clan, coupled with her powerful bloodline, she was always doted on.

Among her peers in the clan, she was also the strongest, a presence whose word was law.

This also made her playful nature so strong since childhood; she never had to worry about anything else, doing whatever she wanted on a daily basis.

Finally, she even defied the two clans by falling in love with the Dragon Emperor's brother of the Yonggu Taixu Dragon Clan.

Because of their close relationship, the Green-haired woman actually knew all these things and had often covered for them before.

Otherwise, if it were just the Purple-haired woman alone, she would have been caught countless times already.

But with things having developed to this point, she didn't know how to resolve it.

If not handled well, it was possible that the two clans could eventually escalate into a major war affecting the entire Demon Realm.

At that time, they might not be as relaxed as they were now.

Indeed, the two women soaking in the hot spring at this moment were not human.

The Green-haired woman was Qing Li, the clan leader of the Azure Glazed Jade Luan Clan, and the Purple-haired woman was none other than Huang Xue, the daughter of the Phoenix Emperor, whose name was currently being spread far and wide.

...

Outside the Azure Glazed Jade Luan Clan territory.

Chen De looked at the natural wonder before him, where countless mountains were similarly intertwined and connected.

The foothills were spring-like all year round, but at the top, on the slopes, and on the shaded sides, they were completely covered by thick, perennial snow.

The pure, flawless white snow sparkled with dazzling white light under the sun.

There were also places emitting steaming mist, clearly huge natural hot springs.

Chen De's purpose in coming here was not for these hot springs, nor for the scenery.

Instead, he intended to first take a risky probing action to see what reaction their clan would have if he captured a few Azure Luan.

If everything was within Chen De's controllable range, then he would proceed with the next step of his plan.

Chen De had been carefully using the black liquid for so long, not because he was afraid of not being able to deal with opponents.

The main concern was being detected by the methods placed on the opponent's body while trying to convert them.

This would mean Chen De's undercover plan would be declared a failure, as exposure would clearly indicate a problem, rendering conversion useless; it would be better to simply devour them.

But if it was just about simply killing a few, it could be done easily.

Previously, Chen De sought reasonable methods everywhere for the sake of being undercover.

Only then could he join in and achieve Chen De's goals.

After all, he couldn't bypass those methods, but if it was just about simply killing, there was no need for such trouble.

However, the situation was completely different now; ever since his God Cultivation realm reached the peak of the Void Gate Realm, dealing with the methods placed by those in the Heavenly Imperial Realm on their backs was no longer as insurmountable as before.

If Chen De were to try again now, as long as the person who placed the method wasn't too high in realm, he had a certain degree of confidence.

Thus, Chen De concealed his figure and silently moved into the Azure Glazed Jade Luan Clan's territory.

Before long, Chen De stopped at a certain location.

This was because directly above Chen De's current position, a group of small Azure Luan, a thousand meters long, were soaring and playing freely.

These little fellows flapped their wings, flying back and forth, having a great time.

Chen De quickly realized this was an opportunity, a chance to probe.

So, Chen De, taking advantage of all the demons' inattention, launched a powerful attack towards the sky.

Several small Azure Luan were hit directly, their bodies tearing apart in the sky.

Their limbs continuously split as they fell, turning into tiny fragments...

The scattered blood of several small Azure Luan, each a thousand meters long, fell from the sky to the ground.

Like a violent rain of blood, it splattered on the snow with a pattering sound.

Soon, the pristine white snow was stained with vivid red.

Chen De, in passing, used soul pollution to convert the small Azure Luan he had intentionally left alive.

He merely caused them to fall heavily from a height of ten thousand meters.

As expected, they also had arrangements similar to those placed by the Heavenly Imperial Realm on their backs.

However, their methods were somewhat cruder compared to human martial artists.

Coupled with Chen De's current God Cultivation realm, he dealt with most of the methods as soon as they entered his body.

"How dare you!"

"Presumptuous!"

"How dare you attack the juniors of our clan!"

At this moment, the enormous commotion attracted several Void Union Realm Azure Luan.

Space continuously rippled, and azure figures appeared out of thin air.

Seeing the tragic scene before them, the arriving Azure Luan's eyes widened in extreme fury.

Their murderous intent radiated without concealment, making the temperature here even colder.

At this moment, only a few severely injured small Azure Luan were alive, lying on the ground, wailing incessantly.

As for the others, not even a complete corpse remained, showing the ruthlessness of the attacker's methods.

The leading Azure Luan among them took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in its heart.

It transformed into human form and slowly descended beside the few surviving small Azure Luan to check their injuries.

It also ordered the entire Luan Clan territory to be sealed, with no demons allowed to leave, for a comprehensive search.

When these small Azure Luan were playing, no adult Azure Luan were accompanying them.

And the incident happened suddenly, and they arrived a little late; the perpetrator had clearly already fled.

After all, who would have thought that someone would attack and injure demons within their Azure Glazed Jade Luan Clan?

This was simply not putting their clan in their eyes, a provocation to their entire clan!

However, apprehending the culprit was not something that could be resolved in a short time.

The immediate priority now was to quickly treat the small Azure Luan before them.

Among the other Azure Luan who had arrived, some descended, while the rest went to seal the territory and search for the culprit.

Just as they were about to begin treatment, a female voice suddenly interrupted them.

"Wait a moment!"
