Late into the night.
Invincible Sect, palace wing.
Yu Hong was meditating and managing her breath. Probably due to the strange purple gas that was her body, even after its removal, her body suffered severe injuries. Especially the primordial spirit. Lonemoon only barely managed to suppress it for her before. To recover, she needed to rely on herself.
She let go of her Divine Perception and used her full strength to mobilize her primordial spirit. In a short while, sweat started to appear on her forehead, and her complexion started to pale. The warming of primordial spirit required complete focus, and that was what she did. That's why she didn't notice the black gas which suddenly appeared in the room.
The black gas slowly gathered. The air suddenly distorted and silently a tear appeared. A figure came out from the inside. Demonic Qi overflowed from his body and instantly filled the whole room.
Yu Hong finally felt the impact of the demonic Qi and stopped her breath adjustment. Subconsciously, she thought that Lan Hua was there."Lan..." She looked up, but a wave of demonic Qi went right towards her face. She was shocked, and instantly the protective Dharma artifact on her lightened and stopped the demonic Qi.
Only then did she recognize the person opposite her. That was a man in blue with a black aura all over him. His hair was messy and his eyes were red and crazed. He stared right at her, and hatred filled his eyes.
"It's you!" Yu Hong was shocked, and immediately she wanted to use the transmission amulet on the side of her body, yet the other person was one step faster. A wave of demonic Qi hit right on her arm. With another wave of his hand, the demonic Qi in the surroundings gathered and formed black ropes, which tied Yu Hong up tightly. Yu Hong felt the immortal powers within her stagnate, and she was unable to mobilize it no matter what she tried. She stared up at the person in front of her."What on earth do you want?"
That person was the new Demon King. Elders Lonemoon and Yi Qing had already rushed to the Demon World. She didn't expect him to actually appear here.
"Give me the thing!" The figure turned and went to Yu Hong's side, dragging her up directly, he started glancing all over hurried. His eyes opened wide, blood-like color inside it. His expression also grew crazier."Where's the thing? Why isn't it here? Where is it?"
"Where is... what?" Yu Hong suffered severe injuries to begin with, and coupled with the erosion of demonic Qi, she had no power to resist.
"The thing that you took! Hurry up and return it to me." That person asked again.
"I... I didn't..." Yu Hong was about to rebut before she suddenly remembered something."You mean the jade hairpin Dharma artifact that Little Black gave to me?" He came to Invincible Sect for that?
"That's not what you should have taken. Quickly give it to me!" He grabbed her even tighter.
Yu Hong's look darkened."So you've seen Little Black indeed. Where is he?"
"Hmph! He wants something that does not belong to him. He deserves to die!" The other person grew even angrier."Give me back the thing!"
"What did you do to him?" Yu Hong grew anxious and started struggling, but she couldn't get rid of the demonic Qi all over her."Let me go! That Dharma artifact belonged to the treasure house of Demon Palace. Since when was it yours?"
"That was what you robbed from me. Your whole world are thieves!" As he talked, he grew ever madder, and the demonic Qi over him became even thicker. He looked like he wanted to destroy the heavens and the earth."Give it back to me!"
"I didn't! You destroyed that hairpin yourself last time!"
"What happened to the thing inside it?" He asked loudly.
"What?" Yu Hong was stunned. There was something inside the jade hairpin. What was it?
"Where on earth did it go? Where did you hide it?" He asked even more loudly.
"I don't know what you are talking about! What thing? What are you looking for?"
"It was apparently on you just now. Return it to me!" His hand withdrew, and layers of demonic Qi surrounded Yu Hong even tighter."Or I will massacre your whole sect right now!"
"I mean..." suddenly a lazy voice sounded beside his ears."Is it not so good for you to make such promises in front of me?"
"Who?" The man was shocked. Only then did he see Shen Ying beside him. She was sitting beside the bed, only three steps away from him. A half-grown Radish leaned on her back, fast asleep.
For a time, the whole room was filled with the snoring of a certain Radish.
"Who are you... why are you here?"
"I've always been here!" Shen Ying inclined her head. She's been listening for a long time.
The man's heart sank. He actually didn't notice it at all. More importantly, he could not figure out her cultivation, besides vaguely feeling a wave of irresistible pressure.
With a turn of thought, he sent a wave of demonic Qi right over. At the same time, his hand turned to draw a line in the air, attempting to tear up the void. Yet he realized that there was no reaction at all. The space that he could, in ordinary days, open up easily, suddenly lost contact with him.
He was seized with fear. Understanding that he might not be able to deal with the person in front of him, he grabbed Yu Hong and rushed out, preparing to escape. Yet he felt an emptiness at his side, turning, he saw that Yu Hong whom he grabbed but a moment ago had already disappeared, and re-appeared at the side of that woman just now. His footsteps stopped.
With a casual wave of hand, Shen Ying drew Yu Hong out from the cocoon of demonic Qi. The demonic Qi in the surroundings all dissipated.
"Sect master?" Yu Hong was stunned, and her eyes brightened immediately."Why are you here?"
"Oh, Radish snored." Shen Ying casually plucked the Radish on her back down and threw it onto the bed."I couldn't sleep, so I sent him here on my way."
Radish rolled over on the bed, snoring, still not woken. Subconsciously he rolled back again and started climbing onto Shen Ying's back once more.
Alright! This vegetable had upgraded from a leg accessory to a back accessory.
"Return me the thing!" The person who rushed out just now came back again, looked at the two with an angry face and demonic Qi overflowed from his body."Otherwise both of you will die here!"
"Sect master! He is the new Demon King." Yu Hong was shocked and reminded her loudly. She turned to look at him and said, "I have no idea what you're talking about!"
"You still want to lie. Last time, the thing was apparently on you." That person grew even more anxious, staring hard at Yu Hong."This world is indeed full of disgusting creatures."
"That hairpin was already destroyed by you. Even if there was something, it should be with you."
"Who else could have stolen it if not you? You must have hidden..."
"Are you talking about..." Shen Ying suddenly interrupted, "This?" Her one hand suddenly reached out, and they saw a purple gas shining in her palm. The one that she dug out from Little Hong's body during the day indeed.
The man's eyes widened instantly, and that red color in them darkened. He stared directly at the purple gas in Shen Ying's palm and his expression grew even crazier, like his last trace of rationality was gone."Purple gas... mine! Give it back to me!"
With that said, he rushed over without any cares. Demonic Qi over him increased, and a thick wave of blackness went right towards the two. Seeing that it was almost going to shroud the two, it suddenly stopped, and stopped a meter from Shen Ying as if blocked by some obstacle. Regardless of how the other party mobilized it, it couldn't go an inch further. The man's brows tightened, and with a turn of his hand, a black sword immediately appeared in his hands and stabbed right at the other side.
