Chapter 42
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The demon realm wasn’t as chaotic as Qing Kui and Qing Lian thought. After the two infiltrated, they restrained the immortal energy on them. Then, they captured two little demons and put them on their body, so that they could be contaminated with demonic aura and wouldn’t be easily discovered. They saw all kinds of demon along the way. Some cultivated, some were fighting and there were some who shape-shifted into a human and imitated the mortal realm’s way of living. Each one’s expression were normal. It didn’t seem like someone had invaded in the demon realm.
“Senior brother, do you know here to go to find Qing Feng?” After circling for a few hours, Qing Lian finally couldn’t take it anymore and asked.
Qing Kui coughed twice awkwardly, “In the past, when I came to the demon realm, it was to chase a few little demons. It would be finished after I deal with them. Who would deliberately go provoke the demon king…?”
“Then, you still come here in such a hurry…,” There was no blaming in Qing Lian’s tone. Just a bit of helplessness.
Qing Kui said embarrassed, “This…at that time, I was anxious. So, I didn’t think too much.”
Qing Lian could only blame herself that she still hasn’t seen through Qing Kui’s impulsive and reckless personality after so many years. She casted a spell and made a kingfisher appear. She whispered something to it and let it leave.
They came to the demon realm because they were worried about Qing Feng after all. If Qing Feng was fine and even if they had been discovered, she probably would also do nothing to them.
The two were resting on a tree at this time. They sat back to back on a branch of a tree.
“Senior brother, Qing Feng had been circling around you for three hundred years in the past. Did you truly not realize that peculiar feeling she has for you?” While waiting for the kingfisher to return, Qing Lian asked while pretending to be indifferent.
Qing Kui was surprised. One didn’t know whether it was the sunset that reflected on his face or that his face became red because of this question from Qing Lian. He stuttered, “What, what peculiar…didn’t she treat all of us the same? I also treat all of you the same.”
Qing Lian sighed, “Then, do you think Ling Xi is the same as us?”
“Of course not!” Qing Kui blurted without thinking. He immediately felt that such reaction wasn’t right. He paused for a moment before he said, “Ling Xi hasn’t appeared at that time. How could it be the same?”
Qing Lian couldn’t help but remain silent. Qing Kui has such a careless character. He had never realized even after Qing Kui painfully chased after him for three hundred years. She truly wondered how Ling Xi was able to stir his heartstrings and enlightened him.
Just as they were silent, the big tree where the two leaned against suddenly became agitated. The branches became wicker-like and moved, binding their hands and feet firmly. The tree gave a sharp and violent laughter.
Oh no! They had forgotten that they were in the demon realm. Everything around them may be the real form of a demon!
The two almost cried out gloomily at the same time and at the same time, they drew their swords and castes spells.
However, the moment they used spells, their immortal aura was leaked and alarmed a group of nearby demons. All rushed to here.
The sun had already fallen. When the night fell, the gloominess exploded and the demonic energy increased sharply in the forest of the demon realm.
Qing Kui and Qing Lian looked at how countless demons surrounded them. They were still thinking how to get out of this when they saw the western sky suddenly lit up with a purple light. At first glance, the light wrapped that place like a boundary. The white and purple light alternated. The sky was sometimes white, sometimes blue and sometimes black. The clearness and gloominess of the sky was indefinite.
“A fight has started! A fight has started!” At this moment, the kingfisher came back and chirped before it disappeared without a trace.
“Someone attacked the queen lady!” Someone among the demons shouted. Then, the whole demon realm flared up and rushed to the west while they clamored.
For a time, no one cared about Qing Kui and Qing Lian. The two quickly used this opportunity to perform the invisibility spell. They hid their aura as they followed behind everyone.
The palace where the demon king lived was not magnificent. Instead, it was a very unremarkable cave.
The cave was empty. One couldn’t see the end of it at a glance. The glowing pearl’s light was faint. The air inside the cave was very gloom and flickered.
Qing Feng’s white clothes were stained with a thin layer of dusts. Due to the spellcasting, the clothes flipped like a pair of white wings of a butterfly. She stared angrily at the woman opposite of her who was also wearing white clothes and sneered, “You want to take my internal core? Do you believe that I will peel off that skin that I don’t know from where you had stolen it?!”
Aside from the glowing pearl, a pool occupied half of the place. All kinds of human skin were soaked in the pool which looked weird and horrifying.
The woman in white didn’t answer. She only strengthened her hand. The cave was almost filled with silver light. Waves almost emerged on the other side of the pool.
“Jing Yan, be faster. It’s getting dark. Your big brother still has to sleep,” Suddenly a lazy man’s voice could be heard.
“Big brother, this demon king is hard to deal with!” Jing Yan said through gritted teeth, “Qing Feng, you’ve already died six hundred years ago. Now, you still lived in a demon’s body and used woman’s skin as food. How boring is it?”
Qing Feng was slightly surprised. Firstly, she couldn’t see the man who had just spoken. Secondly, the woman in front of her was a homeless soul who she (QF) didn’t know her origin. She (JY) had occupied a dead body and still has such great spiritual energy. The most important thing was that she (JY) actually know her (QF). She (JY) knew that her name was Qing Feng and that she had died six hundred years ago!
“Do you want big brother to come help you?” The man’s voice said.
“No need.” Jing Yan said stubbornly, “At worst, catch Qing Kui and see whether she will or won’t give me the internal core!”
Qing Feng’s breathing stagnated and the purple light gleamed brightly. She asked angrily, “Who are you?”
She (JY) even know that her biggest lethal point (Achilles’ heel) was Qing Kui!
Jing Yan smiled brightly, turned around and skillfully avoided Qing Feng’s blow. The blow from the palm went towards the pool. The lips moved slightly. The water in the pool raised up like a wave of a sea and attacked Qing Feng with the skins inside of it.
Qing Feng was stunned for a moment. That spell…was obviously Cangjia Mountain’s Water Drainage spell.
It was in this moment of being stunned, the water fell on Qing Feng and became a silver light. She was knocked to the ground and spit out a mouthful of green demonic blood.
Jing Yan’s smile got even brighter. She patted her hands and said happily, “Finally won.”
Qing Feng’s eyes went cold. Without the slightest foreshadowing, she turned into a fox and throw herself at Jing Yan.
It was apparent that Jing Yan didn’t expect such a counterattack. She only subconsciously blocked with her hands. At the same time, a light emerged from her waist and a seal appeared, blocking the white fox.
Qing Feng once again turned into a human. She wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth and stood up. She stared at the man and woman in surprise.
Forget it that she didn’t know the woman, but this man…
High-tiered deity Donghua?
No, high-tiered deity Donghua always wore red and there was always a smile on his face and he appeared so alluring that he didn’t seem like a deity. Although, this man looked exactly the same as him and his face was also unruly, but there was still a big difference in the expression.
“Big brother, I’ve long told you to change your appearance. Look, you really scared other people.” Jing Yan frowned and blamed.
“Oh, I’m used to it.” The man swayed his body with a smile and changed his appearance to a handsome son of an official.
Qing Feng stopped pondering and wanted to escape when she saw an opportunity. Before, she was able to take a few steps, that man was in front of her. He grabbed her neck without her being able to fight him off and said, “Jing Yan, be faster. Someone is coming.”
His voice was calm, but in Qing Feng’s ears, it was a different kind of coldness. The eyes that looked at her were empty. The emptiness made people feel that he was not from the six realms. A sense of horror appeared and the hand that choked her had such a force that made her unable to put up a resistance, freezing her one spot and making her unable to move.
A trace of cruelty appeared in the eyes of the woman called Jing Yan. She chanted an incantation and struck her (QF) lower abdomen trying to force out her internal core.
Qing Feng was suppressed by two forces. She only felt a burst of coldness and hotness in her abdomen. The internal core that contained her vitality slowly moved upward and left her control.
She looked at this pair of siblings of unknown origin and who were indescribable weird. Her thoughts were chaotic for a moment.
A man resembling high-tiered deity Donghu; a woman who knew the Water Drainage spell of Cangjia and whose spiritual energy was not weak…
Qing Feng’s heart skipped a beat and blurted, “Ling…Ling Xi…?”
Jing Yan’s eyes flickered slightly and increased the intensity of the spell.
Qing Feng’s face grew paler and there was a perverse hatred in her eyes, “Ling Xi, it’s you, right?”
Right, it must be her.
