Chapter 1094: The Perfect Chicken Soup Of The Demon

As the legendary Blood Ant Tribe knelt and begged for mercy, seemingly scared out of their wits, everyone's minds were in a fog, as if they were dreaming.

Zhongli Meng was about to cautiously inquire.

The giant ant was actually kowtowing until blood gushed out, its massive body lying on the ground as if it had fainted. When the junior brother approached to check, he found it had kowtowed itself to death...

Everyone stared in disbelief, exchanging incredulous glances.

Zhongli Meng was also at a loss.

After gazing at the bloody pit before her for a long time, her expression grew several times more serious.

"This Blood Ant Tribe has been scared out of their wits, only knowing to beg for mercy without regard for anything else. Something terrible must have happened on Watercold Star. We must be extra cautious!"

The junior brothers nodded in unison, their eyes filled with solemnity.

Looking around at the vast expanse, Zhongli Meng felt increasingly suspicious and resolutely gave the order.

"Now that there's no other way, we must venture deeper to investigate, to see if we can find any trace of Yi Feng, and also to look for clues about the disappearance of the demon race."

Everyone bowed in unison, their throats tight with tension.

After the discussion, the group of ten once again took to the air, proceeding with extreme caution towards the depths.

As they advanced.

Beneath their feet were glaciers and river valleys, and various demon races finally began to appear.

But upon closer inspection, they realized that all these demons had been dead for a long time!

"What on earth has happened here!"

Zhongli Meng and the others were even more astonished, and their actions became even more cautious.

As they delved deeper, the number of corpses increased, and even thousand-foot ice mountains had been flattened!

On the ground, the remnants of various demon corpses still exuded a powerful aura, causing hearts to race with just a slight perception!

The ice surface of the river valley was cracked, with thousand-foot fissures everywhere.

In the distance, glaciers had collapsed, and towering peaks had been split in half. Shocking signs of battle were everywhere, and the deeper they went, the more horrifying it became!

Everyone froze in mid-air, gasps of shock rising one after another!

"This!"

"The demon race has been slaughtered like this?!"

"That skeleton seems to be the elite Golden Thread White Skeleton of the demon race, recorded in ancient texts as having celestial-level cultivation from birth. How could it have died without a complete body?"

"Senior sister, look! That pile of corpses at the foot of the mountain seems to be all Blood Ant Tribe!"

"Over here, there's a hundred-foot giant demon, not even recorded in ancient texts. The residual aura is absolutely terrifying!"

The more they looked, the more their hearts raced. Zhongli Meng and the others were already breaking out in cold sweat!

Even hovering in mid-air, they were shaken by the horrifying scene beneath the glaciers, not daring to proceed further. The vast snow fog ahead, seemingly calm, suddenly became extremely perilous.

Exchanging doubtful glances, everyone's eyes were filled with terror.

"The demon race, born strong and powerful, has been slaughtered like cattle and sheep. This is truly terrifying!"

"I've never heard of such a scene before. Perhaps it's internal strife among the demons, or maybe a terrifying entity has descended upon Watercold Star, causing such a massacre!"

"Gasp! What kind of horrifying existence could that be!"

"Whatever lies ahead, we are no match for it!"

"Senior sister, what should we do?!"

Everyone was filled with panic, turning to Zhongli Meng for guidance.

Zhongli Meng was also greatly shocked but managed to retain some composure.

"Junior brother Lu is right. Whatever lies ahead must be an extremely terrifying existence. Such causality is beyond our ability to handle."

"This matter must be reported to the palace master, and we must await the decisions of the palace master and the senior Lanxing elders."

As she spoke, a look of unwillingness flashed in Zhongli Meng's eyes.

"Things have gone far beyond our capabilities. My cultivation is truly too weak..."

Several junior brothers also came to their senses, reluctantly agreeing and consoling.

"Senior sister, there's no need to blame yourself. You've already done your best by returning to search for Young Master Yi. In the future, we can seek out Young Master Yi's relatives and friends to repay his kindness!"

"With such a drastic change on Watercold Star, even the powerful demon race has been slaughtered. Young Master Yi is likely in grave danger. Senior sister, you've done your best..."

"Ah, witnessing such a terrifying scene makes us realize how shallow our cultivation truly is. It's truly humbling!"

Listening to the comforting words, Zhongli Meng nodded helplessly.

"We can only return to Lanxing for now."

Everyone immediately turned back, the journey silent and filled with melancholy.

Even after returning to the valley entrance, everyone was still shaken, recalling what they had seen, their eyes filled with panic and tension.

Just as they were about to board the flying ship to return.

Zhongli Meng's eyes showed a hint of disappointment, her heart shrouded in great doubt. Looking back at the distant mountain foot, she gazed at the traces of their previous camp, unwilling to look away.

Suddenly!

Clouds drifted across the sky, and something at the foot of the mountain reflected a dazzling light!

Zhongli Meng's eyes widened.

She immediately flew forward!

This movement also caused the junior brothers to follow nervously.

The dozen or so people landed at the foot of the mountain, only to see a long sword embedded in the ice wall where they had once pitched their tents!

When they first arrived, they had been too focused on searching for people to notice.

Only now, with the sunlight shining, did Zhongli Meng notice upon looking back that the sword was embedded in the ice wall, seemingly pinning a note!

Instantly.

Everyone's eyes filled with curiosity, and Zhongli Meng immediately flew to retrieve the sword!

Landing and opening the note, the writing, though blurred by wind and snow, was still barely legible.

"Miss Zhongli, seeing this note is like seeing you in person."

"When I returned, I found no trace of you, and the flying ship was also gone. After waiting for two days with no news, I had no choice but to leave first. I wish you all well, and hope we meet again."

"Yi Feng."

Zhongli Meng's brows relaxed, and joy appeared in her eyes.

"This is a note left by Young Master Yi. He has already left safely. Heaven be praised!"

The junior brothers were first surprised, then overjoyed.

"Damn! Young Master Yi actually managed to leave safely?!"

"Wow! Watercold is so terrifying, yet Young Master Yi emerged unscathed. It seems he has great fortune. Truly, good people are rewarded!"

"If he can leave, we can also put our minds at ease!"

"Great, truly heaven has eyes. When we meet Young Master Yi again, we must properly thank him."

"Receiving such good news, this trip was not in vain!"

Amidst the exclamations, everyone's spirits were greatly lifted.

Joyful discussions gradually arose, and everyone felt much more at ease. Finally, they noticed the sword, and laughter began to spread.

"Hey, this sword seems pretty good."

"Hmm, this sword is close to our own swords, yet its cold light remains undiminished by our sword aura. The inner sect swords of our Heavenly Palace are all high-grade saint-level. This sword must be comparable."

"Senior brothers, Young Master Yi can travel the stars alone, so he must have some resources. Even if he comes from a humble place like Cloud Star, having such a sword isn't too surprising."

"Junior brother, that's true, but would you use your own sword as a message carrier?"

"Ah, I'm not that extravagant. Young Master Yi is really bold..."

"Hahaha..."

Laughter dispelled the gloom, and everyone's faces showed relief and joy.

Zhongli Meng finally relaxed her brows, holding the sword in her hand with a smile in her eyes.

"Alright, you all, stop teasing the junior brother."

"This sword, though not a top-tier treasure, is still extraordinary. Young Master Yi used this sword to leave a message, showing his deep friendship. He probably has no other defensive weapon left. If we meet again in the future, we must return it to him."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Zhongli Meng stored the sword in her spatial ring.

Finally, with their wish fulfilled, the group felt greatly relieved. Remembering the strange changes on Watercold Star, they dared not linger and immediately boarded the flying ship to return to Lanxing.

At the same time.

In a remote mountain in the Southern Li Heavenly Domain.

Lu Caiwei had been recuperating in the forest for a long time and finally opened her cold eyes.

In her mind, a satisfied hoarse laughter echoed.

"Kekeke..."

"You truly did not disappoint me. In just one day, you've recovered from your injuries and comprehended more of the inheritance. Such talent indeed qualifies you to receive the inheritance of our demon race."

Lu Caiwei's lips curled slightly as she activated her cultivation technique.

Instantly!

A murderous aura erupted from her body, several times more intense than before!

Purer black mist spread around, withering plants and cracking the soil wherever it reached, as if it had gained sentience, reaching a higher level.

Even the sword beside her was enveloped in demonic energy, emitting a terrifying hum!

"Buzz..."

A dragon-like roar echoed, startling birds and beasts in the forest!

After absorbing all the black mist, Lu Caiwei finally showed a pleased expression.

Slowly grasping the willow-leaf sword, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

"The demon race's inheritance is indeed extraordinary. Not only has my cultivation greatly increased, but my sword has also absorbed the inheritance, reaching celestial-grade!"

"It seems you weren't lying to me."

The hoarse voice echoed in her mind, filled with arrogance.

"Celestial-grade is nothing."

"When you fully awaken the inheritance power and truly become a member of our demon race, celestial-grade will be as insignificant as dirt before you, easily crushed with a finger!"

"Now, you can already look down on human cultivators of the same level!"

Hearing this, Lu Caiwei's eyes gradually lit up, and a fierce expression appeared on her coldly beautiful face.

The black mist in her consciousness seemed to sense this and promptly warned in a cold voice.

"Although your cultivation has greatly improved, you may not be able to completely defeat your previous enemy. That woman's techniques are strange, and she has those gloves for protection. Do not underestimate her."

"You bear the great responsibility of our demon race and cannot afford any more failures. Do not act rashly unless you are certain of victory!"

"If you are eager for revenge, seek out another enemy."

Lu Caiwei's eyes showed unwillingness.

After pondering these words, she gradually calmed down.

Indeed...

That bitch Qing Yin Xianyun must have found some powerful backer, becoming ridiculously strong. Even the demon race has repeatedly warned against her, indicating that her strength and those gloves are not to be underestimated.

For the sake of the greater plan, I cannot rush.

After all, my cultivation is advancing by leaps and bounds. Sooner or later, I will defeat that bitch, and the gloves will be mine. Let her gloat for a few more days.

Thinking this, Lu Caiwei nodded steadily.

"You make a good point..."

"To be safe, I should first deal with Zhongli Meng. Once my cultivation has greatly improved, I can then seek revenge on Qing Yin Xianyun. Steady and methodical, that's the best strategy."

The demonic voice in her mind praised her response, sounding completely in control.

"Your mindset is extraordinary, truly a promising talent."

"The previous woman has protective treasures, so you may not win. But the other one is no match for you. This time, it will be easy. Quickly settle your personal matters, and then you can focus on the great cause of our demon race."

"I look forward to seeing you sweep across Lanxing!"

First praise, then instructions, filled with anticipation. The sugar-coated bullets were almost fired in rapid succession, and finally, the grand vision of sweeping across Lanxing was boldly declared.

Who could resist such talk?

Most importantly, Lu Caiwei's cultivation was continuously improving, and she had already tasted the sweetness. Even as the promises grew grander, they seemed more tangible, almost within reach.

This pot of chicken soup was a perfect example, flawless.

The demon race excelled at manipulating the dark side of human hearts and had Lu Caiwei firmly in their grasp.

Sure enough, Lu Caiwei's eyes showed pride.

"Exactly!"

"I may not be a match for Qing Yin Xianyun now, but can't I defeat Zhongli Meng?"

"In terms of cultivation, she hasn't even broken through to celestial-grade. In terms of weapons, although she's the chief of the Heavenly Palace, at most she wields a saint-grade weapon. How can she compare to me!"

"Surely, that bitch doesn't also have protective treasures, does she?"

"This time, I will definitely avenge my past humiliation!"

Her red lips curved into a confident smile as Lu Caiwei stood up steadily, proudly stepping into the void!
