315: Make your move!

“This incense… I’m afraid it won’t work.”

Shen Qingqiu handed the Demon Attraction Incense back to Chu Mo, sighing, “What we need to do is save them, not eliminate them.”

“But I don’t have any Demon Transformation Incense! If you don’t want this Demon Attraction Incense, then there’s nothing I can do.”

Chu Mo indicated that he didn’t care if he wanted it or not.

Saving the entire world was beyond his will and his power.

However.

“The source of the Inferior Demons is a Demoness! The Lust Demoness. If you can kill her, perhaps this calamity can be resolved!”

“Is that true?!”

“Why would I lie to you for no reason?”

“Then why didn’t you say so before?!”

“I was afraid you couldn’t beat her!”

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingqiu felt a warmth in his heart, then his expression turned serious.

“Then do you know where this Lust Demoness is?”

“Hmm… I don’t know.”

According to what he knew from previous killings, Nangong Yan, Hu Lingsu, Ling Shuang, and Cold Chong Yan must be the Lust Demoness’s split Souls.

Yes, that’s right.

Ling Shuang, Cold Chong Yan, and Hu Lingsu, who were frozen in ice, were secretly dealt with by Chu Mo, but aside from being resented by a certain Demoness, he gained nothing.

As for Luo Qingdie, she might be a split Soul of the Lust Demoness, but there has been no news of her to this day, and it’s unknown if she’s alive or dead.

During this time, Shen Qingqiu chatted with Chu Mo for a long time and learned that Chu Mo was entrusted by Wan Hai not to leave Luoshui City, or he would be in danger.

Only then did he let Chu Mo stay in Luoshui City with peace of mind.

“I will handle all external affairs. You can stay in Luoshui City with peace of mind!”

With that said.

Shen Qingqiu departed.

Inside the room, only Chu Mo remained.

His gaze was distant as he muttered to himself, “Protect Shen Qingqiu, huh? I don’t have that ability right now… Let him go out and explore. If he encounters problems, I think that old fellow Wan Hai will come out to clean up the mess…”

All in all, it was still the same old saying.

He didn’t trust Wan Hai, because that guy had too many secrets and was too mysterious.

Everything he was experiencing now might be a grand scheme orchestrated by others.

As long as he did nothing, someone would naturally be unable to hold back, thus revealing their flaws and allowing him to find a way to break the situation.

But before that.

Improving his strength was also very important.

Without strength, knowing how to break the situation but lacking the power to overturn the board would be truly pathetic.

........

Void Realm, Imperial Palace.

In the Drunken Heart Pavilion, there was an unfinished game of chess, and a charming, alluring woman sat alone before the chessboard.

At a certain moment, her slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, then she looked towards the main entrance and smiled faintly.

This smile made all the flowers in the Drunken Heart Pavilion lose their color.

“Xuan Ling, Esteemed One, did you gain anything from this trip? Was that fellow Wan Hai punished?!”

“Not yet. How could Wan Hai be so easily killed? However, he also seems to have his own arrangements.

Haha, that outwardly fierce but inwardly cowardly thing, last time when my chess piece pinpointed his location, he voluntarily jumped out and threatened to shatter the continent I had created.

I had been planning for millions of years, and so had he. The last time was the closest to success, and our goals were not entirely the same.

I want to create a Heavenly Emperor, and he wants to create a Devil Emperor!”

The Lust Demoness sat silently before the chessboard, merely listening.

“Esteemed One, should we continue to draw Demon Race Souls into the realm?”

“Continue to draw them in. Without Wan Hai, with you here, the plan can still proceed. Also, I need to draw some Immortal Race Souls into the realm as well…”

Before Xuan Ling could finish speaking, the Imperial Palace shook violently, and at the same time, an extremely irritating voice came through.

“Xuan Ling, you idiot, come out and fight your grandpa for thirty thousand rounds. If you don’t come out, your turtle palace won’t be safe!”

“It’s Wan Hai.” The Lust Demoness looked at Xuan Ling calmly, “This guy fights and then runs. This is already the 72nd time. Is the Esteemed One still going out?”

Before she could finish speaking.

Xuan Ling had already disappeared from the Drunken Heart Pavilion, and at the same time, a terrifying battle erupted outside the Void Realm.

The Lust Demoness, sitting alone before the chessboard, sighed faintly.

“When will this game of chess be finished? Using the Heavenly Emperor’s Reincarnation as an excuse to scheme against the Demon Race for so long, once the truth is exposed, there may be no place for me in the Demon Realm…”

“Xuan Ling is too hypocritical; associating with him is like seeking skin from a tiger. And Wan Hai, that guy, has no brains.

That young fellow who entered the Void Ancient Path last time was quite good, but alas, he is not of the Demon Race. However, under my calculations, a true Demon has indeed appeared in this Void Realm…”

A slender, jade-like finger picked up a black piece.

The piece landed on the center point.

“This last move.”

“I hope it will be useful.”

........

Luoshui City, a certain dark street.

Two drunken men staggered along. Suddenly, the skin on one of the men cracked, covered in dense, open blood patterns.

Then, with a ‘pop’, he exploded.

A large amount of foul blood splattered onto the other drunken man, soaking his face and sobering him up a bit.

As an ordinary person, he instinctively wanted to shout, but his neck felt as if it were gripped by someone, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make any sound.

And the foul blood on his body wriggled as if alive, burrowing into his seven orifices.

Soon, the drunken man fell to the ground, and all the surrounding blood and minced meat vaporized and disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

In the very next second, two dark figures flashed into the street.

“Brother Fan, there’s a drunk here. Should we help him?”

“He’s just an ordinary person. There are tens of millions of ordinary people in Luoshui City. Can we help them one by one? Revered Master ordered us to find the reason for the mysterious disappearance of tens of thousands of people in Luoshui City. We don’t have time to waste here.”

“Then, shall we go?”

“Check him, and if there’s no problem, we’ll leave.”

The two searched the drunk man for a while, and after finding no problems, they left.

Five minutes after they left, the drunk man on the ground stood up in an extremely bizarre posture.

“Heavenly Emperor’s Reincarnation? Hehehe, with the methods of my Blood Demon Race, I will definitely find the Heavenly Emperor’s Reincarnation before the other Demon Races. I just wonder what the blood of the Heavenly Emperor’s Reincarnation tastes like…”

The drunk man licked his crimson lips, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes.

Just as he was about to leave, a voice came from above.

“Oh! Looking for the Heavenly Emperor’s Reincarnation? What a coincidence, that’s us!”

The drunk man looked up and saw Wang Fan and his partner, Lin Teng, who had left earlier.

“Do you two Void Refining Stage ants think you can deal with me?”

The drunk man suddenly transformed into a streak of blood-red light and charged at the two. He wanted to kill them immediately and then flee Luoshui City.

After all, the strength of a Demon Soul’s Possession and Reincarnation depended on the strength of the possessed target. And the one he possessed was only at the Peak of the Void Refining Stage. In these past few days, after devouring the blood of tens of thousands of living beings, he had only barely managed to Breakthrough to the Body Integration Stage.

However, killing two Void Refining Stage ants was completely sufficient for a Body Integration Stage cultivator.

Just as the blood-red light was about to reach Wang Fan and Lin Teng, it was blocked.

A massive Formation intercepted the blood-red light between it and Wang Fan.

Boom!!!

The red light was blocked by the grand Formation, turning into a cloud of blood mist. The grand Formation was also almost shattered by this impact.

“He’s only at the Early Stage of Body Integration, but the intensity of that impact just now was comparable to the Late Stage of Body Integration.”

Lin Teng’s face was pale, and his hands trembled slightly, clearly indicating that resisting this attack had consumed a great deal of his energy.

“You, a Void Refining Stage cultivator, were actually able to withstand my attack, and your Soul also carries that nauseating aura of the Immortal Race. I presume you are the Heavenly Emperor’s Reincarnation, right!”

The blood mist floating in mid-air re-converged, forming a humanoid creature that was entirely crimson and had a tail growing from its backside.

This was the true form of the Blood Demon Race.
