NOVPUB"What’s with this giant dragon?" the Crimson King frowned and asked.
"Why would it attack our Sect Gate without any reason?"
"I don’t know, I heard the dragon’s roar in the sect and came out to see," Zhang Tianlin said indifferently.
"Investigate, conduct a thorough investigation for me."
"But where do we start?" King Ze inquired.
"First find out if there’s anything about the Dragon Clan in the Southern Domain, these creatures have been gone for so many years, their sudden appearance must be suspicious," Zhang Tianlin stated.
"I won’t be at ease until this is clear!"
"Alright, I will take responsibility for this matter," the Realm King nodded slightly.
The matter of the dragon’s roar was sealed by the Sect Gate, but all disciples of the Realm Emperor Holy Sect were aware of it.
The sect forbade discussion and didn’t give an explanation, but the disciples still brought it up in private.
Hearing the dragon’s roar, Xu Zimei lay leisurely in the pavilion of the courtyard, smiling knowingly.
Life in the Realm Emperor Holy Sect was relatively relaxed, with not too many matters.
In the afternoon, several uninvited guests arrived at Divine Maiden Peak.
The Crimson King brought Gong Yu and some disciples from the Eternal Ancient Divine Sect to see Huangfu Xianyue.
"You young people can chat amongst yourselves. I won’t get involved," the Crimson King said with a chuckle.
Then he left Divine Maiden Peak.
"Xian’er, I’ve brought you a gift," Gong Yu smiled, taking out a vermillion box.
He said with a smile, "A ten-thousand-year-old Beauty Blossom, it can keep your appearance unaged for a thousand years."
"I don’t need it, thank you," Huangfu Xianyue said indifferently.
"Xian’er, I don’t understand. In terms of looks and family background, I, Gong Yu, consider myself inferior to no one," Gong Yu said, his expression turning awkward as he asked.
"Why do you reject me so much? Am I really that bad?"
"You’ve said so much, but what about yourself? You’re utterly worthless," Huangfu Xianyue declared.
"Regardless of whether my father has agreed or not, I will never marry you."
"Is that so? My father and the Crimson King have already agreed. This visit is to finalize the engagement," Gong Yu said coldly.
"Don’t decline the toast only to drink the forfeit later. Next month, our Eternal Ancient Divine Sect will send someone specially to welcome you."
Gong Yu looked at Huangfu Xianyue indifferently and said, "Also, that pretty boy living next to you, do you want him to die?"
"If you dare touch him, I’ll die together with him," Huangfu Xianyue’s gaze sharpened as she looked at Gong Yu, her eyes filled with hidden murderous intent.
"It seems that pretty boy really is quite important to you. But rest assured, I will make him watch you marry me," Gong Yu said, before he burst into laughter and left.
Watching Gong Yu’s retreating figure, Huangfu Xianyue’s eyes grew increasingly gloomy.
"I’ll let you live a few more days. Once my grand plan is accomplished, we’ll see how you die."
Huangfu Xianyue murmured softly.
Then she ordered a large barrel of Spiritual Liquid to be sent to Xu Zimei’s courtyard and took the pre-prepared Mysterious Medicine over.
"Didn’t you say once a day?" Xu Zimei asked curiously.
"It’s fine, I was worried your body couldn’t take it before. Now, if you can handle it, twice shouldn’t be a problem," Huangfu Xianyue replied.
"Don’t you also want to gain a Demon Body as soon as possible?"
Xu Zimei smiled, lay in the tub, and said, "I heard the dragon’s roar today; did something happen?"
"I don’t know. With higher-ups involved, just take care of your own business," Huangfu Xianyue responded.
The Spiritual Liquid that entered Xu Zimei’s body was almost entirely assimilated by him.
Because of the scarcity of Demonic Qi, it couldn’t change his body.
For the time being, he also couldn’t fathom Huangfu Xianyue’s intentions.
After Xu Zimei finished absorbing the Spiritual Liquid, Huangfu Xianyue finally left.
A night without words. Early the next morning, Huangfu Xianyue continued to bring over a bucket of Spiritual Liquid.
"We shall enter the second phase starting tomorrow," said Huangfu Xianyue.
As the two were talking, a resounding dragon’s roar suddenly erupted.
The roar spread throughout the entire Realm Emperor Divine Sect.
"Here it comes again," Huangfu Xianyue said, startled as she looked into the distance.
A gigantic crimson dragon was soaring through the sky, its outline faintly visible.
Zhang Tianlin, accompanied by the Six Kings, walked on air, confronting the dragon from afar.
"I wonder what the senior is really up to?" Zhang Tianlin asked curiously.
The crimson dragon did not respond but continued relentlessly attacking the Realm Emperor Divine Sect.
"Stop it," Zhang Tianlin commanded impatiently with a soft shout.
"Wind Thunder Realm, Thick Earth Realm, Heavenly Fire Realm," with a move of his hand, he simultaneously summoned three realms to trap the crimson dragon.
The crimson dragon roared in anger, its colossal body forcefully thrashing and shattering the realms.
Thunderbolts and flames emanated from its body, spreading towards the inside of the Realm Emperor Divine Sect.
The dragon’s massive form plunged straight down from the sky, crashing into the Realm Emperor Divine Sect.
With just a single swing of its body, countless buildings tumbled to the ground.
"Quickly stop it, if this goes on, the Sect Gate will be destroyed," Zhang Tianlin bellowed.
Many disciples flew down from the sky, each with an imposing aura, intending to subdue the evil dragon.
However, the dragon’s might was overwhelming, and with a flash, it vanished into the void once again.
The disciples could neither catch up with it nor outmatch it.
Looking at the ruins strewn all around, they exchanged glances in dismay.
"What on earth does this creature want?" the Crimson King wondered, frowning.
"Let’s have someone clean this up," said Zhang Tianlin gravely.
"If it continues like this a few more times, the Sect Gate will be ruined. Come with me to the Council Hall to discuss this."
Xu Zimei was just watching the excitement, and it seemed Huangfu Xianyue didn’t care either.
On the third day, she brought a large box into Xu Zimei’s courtyard.
She also locked the main gate, not allowing anyone to enter Divine Maiden Peak.
"What is this second phase?" Xu Zimei asked curiously.
"Open the box," Huangfu Xianyue said with a mysterious smile.
Xu Zimei felt familiar Demonic Qi emanating from the box; opening it, he saw that it contained a corpse.
To be precise, it was a mummified corpse, its flesh dried up, leaving only bones.
Moreover, the bones of the corpse were black and seemed very sturdy. The faint Demonic Qi was emanating from them.
"What is this?" Xu Zimei asked, furrowing his brow slightly.
"This is a complete corpse of the Demon Race, which I stumbled upon by chance in the Divine Demon Battlefield," explained Huangfu Xianyue.
"Although he is already dead, the Demon Body still remains."
"You want me to fuse with its Demon Body?" Xu Zimei asked.
"More or less. You’re only missing a Demon Body to become a true member of the Demon Race," Huangfu Xianyue stated.
"I will process this Demon Body, spread it over your skin to be absorbed by your body, and thus integrate the power into your bones."
"There’s such a thing," Xu Zimei said, showing his interest.
"These past few days I had you absorb the Demon Liquid as preparation for your body to adapt ahead. But your body’s strength has exceeded my expectations," Huangfu Xianyue remarked with satisfaction.
