Demon King’s Pampered Wife - C179 Imperial City Reunion(part Ii)

“That’s just a thought. Even now, they still don’t know where I am.” Zi Ling coldly laughed.

The wariness in the Demon Area’s Duke Ming’s eyes became even stronger. That’s right, there was a rumor that this person was in the Demon race before, and then there was a rumor that he was in the Endless Sea.

“Hmph, boasting so shamelessly. Today, let me clean up the Ye Family.” After Demon King Ming said this, the demonic energy in the surroundings suddenly began to churn.

Zi Ling stared at the churning black Qi that was like a surging tide. An uneasiness rose in her heart.

Gradually, the black gas surged more and more violently, as if something was trying to break out of the cage.

The young priest no longer reached out to help the purple silk after controlling the few monsters. He stood by the side and looked at them with clear eyes. It was as if he wasn’t looking at a massacre but at a natural scene of blossoming flowers.

Roar …

A dull roar came out from the dense demon aura, followed by two red, shape-like screams.

Zi Ling’s expression changed. She could feel a strong sense of danger from the thing before her.

“In the past fifty years, you are the first person to force me to use a Blood Demon.” The Demon Region’s Duke Ming stared at Zi Ling and said, “Unfortunately, you won’t have the chance to see it again.”

Just as Duke Ming’s words fell, the blood demon’s body broke free from the demonic energy. The demonic energy rolling off its body was actually blood-red. It stared fixedly at the purple silk, and in the blink of an eye … Red demonic energy completely wrapped around the purple silk.

At this moment, the young priest finally had a reaction. A hint of solemnity appeared in his clear eyes, but he still did not move. He turned his head to look at Duke Ming of the Infernal domain.

The Infernal King looked at him and said, “Elf, you said that you wouldn’t interfere. This is a grudge between her and I.” The Infernal domain’s Duke Ming reminded him once again. At this point, victory was already in his grasp, so he did not wish for any unforeseen events to occur.

The young priest looked at the red demonic aura rising up to the sky, and lightly nodded, “I will not interfere.”

“That’s good!” The Infernal domain’s Duke Ming grinned and began to concentrate on dealing with the purple silk.

As his gaze fell upon the increasingly dense blood-red demonic aura, the excitement in his eyes also became more and more intense. Ye Ling’s cultivation was at least at the Profound General level, and once the Blood Demon devoured her, he would be able to advance another step.

The young priest looked at the purple silk that was completely devoured by the blood-red demonic energy. He shook his head and sighed. Perhaps losing this variable was a good thing for this world.

He said this to himself in his heart, and restrained himself from making a move.

As time passed, the smile on Demon Region’s Duke Ming’s face became increasingly wider. He knew that in another quarter-hour, Ye Ling would turn into a pool of blood and be absorbed by the blood demon.

Just as he was about to take action and wait for the purple silk to turn into a pool of blood, the blood-red demonic energy suddenly began to surge violently again. The column of demonic energy suddenly started to flow in all directions.

A purple figure broke through the crimson qi and shot straight to the sky.

“World Exterminating Seal!”

A huge palm fell from the sky and instantly crushed the rolling devil air, making it disappear without a trace.

It could not believe that the blood demon it raised for hundreds of years was killed in the blink of an eye by a twenty-something year old girl.

Jue Chen appeared in front of Duke Ming of the Infernal domain with a ‘whoosh’. Zi Ling’s ice-cold gaze fell on him, “How do you think I should let you die?”

Since he was able to kill a hundred year old blood demon in one go, her skills were most likely above his. The reason he was able to stabilize his footing amongst the six realm kings was due to caution, not to mention that the Ye Family’s Ancestor and the Phoenix Mountain’s Profound King were both looking for her. There was no need for him to risk his life here.

These thoughts flashed in his mind, and the Demon Region’s Duke Ming’s figure instantly turned from a human into a ball of black gas, scattering in all directions.

The eight devils under its command also left quickly behind it.

Zi Ling had always been standing on the edge of the dust cloud. She did not kill the Wise King of the Infernal domain, nor did she chase after him. It was only when her spiritual sense locked onto the Demon Area’s Duke Ming that he managed to escape from the Elf Kingdom’s capital, causing her body to sway slightly as she fell down from ‘Wu Chen’.

“Bang …”

The young priest saw the girl fall to the ground with a loud thud.

“Don’t come near me!” Zilch shouted at the priest with the last of her strength.

The young priest stopped in his tracks and frowned. “Are you hurt?”

“It has nothing to do with you. Stay away from me.” This was her weakest moment, and she wouldn’t let anyone near her. She forced her arm up and threw two pills into her mouth. Then, she stared at the young priest warily as she slowly retreated.

The young priest did not move forward. His clear eyes stared at her as she slowly walked away.

When the young priest was out of sight, Zi Ling could no longer hold back a fit of coughing, and a few wisps of blood spurted out from her mouth. She wiped the corner of her mouth. The Wise King of the Demon Area really couldn’t be underestimated. If her body hadn’t been tempered by the Phoenix Blood Saliva, then she would have long since been turned into a pool of blood from the demonic energy of the Blood Demon.

Only after entering the Aurous Core stage would she be able to use her last self-created “World Exterminating Seal”. The power of the World Exterminating Seal was tremendous, and it consumed a massive amount of spirit energy. At the early Aurous Core stage, it could only be used once, and if Demon Region’s Duke Ming had stubbornly resisted for a moment just now, the outcome might have been reversed.

She coughed a few more times, then hurriedly left the Elf Kingdom. She didn’t even have time to talk to Pearl.

All around the capital, people were gathered. There were countless people who wanted her to live, so she had to return to her peak as soon as possible. In the meantime, she had to be extremely careful.

“I can finally catch my breath.” Bird waved his fan as he looked at the Elf Kingdom that had appeared before them. For the past few months, he had been suppressed by that man, and was unable to fight back nor allow that man to truly damage his master’s strength.

Then, he lowered his voice and said to the people beside him, “I heard that she is currently in the capital of the Elven Kingdom. I believe that Master came here early because of her …”

Wu Di remained expressionless. He rubbed his head and smiled innocently. “Don’t mention Master wanting to see her, even I miss her a bit.”

Xueran stretched out a hand and patted the head of Changsheng. “Stop thinking so much. That’s a woman that Master has set his eyes on. I didn’t even dare to take a second glance at her. What are you thinking?” He was once shocked by Ye Ling’s beauty, but who told his master to set his sights on that woman first? His passion for her was so great that he didn’t dare to approach her. Otherwise, with master’s methods… Just the thought of it made him shudder.

Bird waved his fan and glared at Xueran. He was still worried that she had failed to fulfill his request.

Seeing his sinister appearance, Bloodstained chuckled. “You should do such a thankless task yourself. I don’t want to be chased to the ends of the earth by my master.”

Skybird retracted its gaze and looked at the back of the wheelchair. He still remembered his master’s cold gaze on him, warning him not to make any decisions without permission. He had no doubt that if he took another step forward, he would completely infuriate his master.

It was a pity that he should have taken action against that person the moment he realized something was amiss.

At this moment, Qi Hao turned his head and calmly swept his gaze across the few people before landing on Skybird. “Go and tell Ai Si that I’ve arrived.”

“Yes, master!” Skybird didn’t dare to let his imagination run wild as he respectfully replied and went into the city to notify Ace.

A short while later, Qi Hao and his retainers arrived at Ace’s palace. Ace was pacing back and forth within the palace, and upon seeing Qi Hao appear, immediately walked over. “You’ve finally arrived.”

Qi Hao raised his head slightly. “I thought you had the ability to deal with what happened next.” If he couldn’t solve this problem properly, he would lose the throne sooner or later!

Accius nodded, then told everything that had happened recently to Qi Hao. It wasn’t that he was lacking in ability, but that he was implicating too many forces behind his back.

“I’ve already arranged everything for you. This is my command medallion, and I want your subordinates to hand it over to the leader of the Beastmen Tribe. He knows what he will do next.”

Athy’s eyes lit up. After Zi Ling had arrived at the city, he felt as if a huge rock had fallen from the sky. Now that Qi Hao had brought him more good news to settle his worries for the past few days, he immediately laughed, “This way, I won’t have to worry about him anymore.”

Athy held the inky jade token and scrutinized it for a moment before raising his head and asking, “Right, Ye Ling is also in the capital. Do you need me to inform her?”

“No need. Since we’re here, we’ll meet again sooner or later.”

Master had already endured for such a long time, and couldn’t wait to rush to the capital. Sooner or later, he would be able to get to know her, and as soon as everyone dispersed, Master would definitely go find that woman.

The Heavenly Bird, on the other hand, was looking straight into its eyes and heart. There was not the slightest bit of feedback in its gaze. Bloodstained felt that it was bored and no longer looked at the Heavenly Bird.

At this moment, a young priest wearing a white robe appeared, nodding towards Ace, sweeping a clear and harmless glance over his four retainers, before finally landing his gaze on Qi Hao, who seemed to have seen something that made him frown.

Of course, Qi Hao had noticed the look in that young priest’s eyes. On the surface, he was still calm and collected, but when he looked at that young priest, he looked even more cautious.

“Priestess Arnold, what brings you here so late at night?” Ace was very friendly when facing the young priest.

“Your Majesty, I came to tell you that some demon had infiltrated the palace and destroyed some buildings in the north.”

“Did monsters infiltrate the palace?” Arth frowned. He already knew that the various factions were gathering in the Royal City, but he didn’t expect them to casually enter the palace without putting him, the king, in their eyes.

Arnold didn’t know what Accius was thinking, nor did he spend any time to think about it. He continued, “There’s also a friend of yours who fought with that Infernal King. It seems like his injuries are very serious.”

“My friend?” Just as Ace finished his sentence, he reacted. “Ye Ling?”

Hearing this, Qi Hao unconsciously frowned, “Where is she now?”

“She left the palace.”
