CH 130

High above the battlefield.

Black Water Fury with white twin ponytails fluttering.

She was constantly keeping an eye on Shahe, who was miles away, with her divine sense.

“Why isn’t he attacking yet?”

Black Water Fury felt strange.

She noticed. That Shahe had been watching this side and had not moved.

As for the group of 50,000 demonic beasts on the battlefield below.

They seemed to be receiving Shahe’s orders.

None of them continued to attack Xue City either. Instead, they were gnawing on the corpses of dead demon beasts to replenish their physical strength.

After a while.

“Hmm? What is that beast doing?”

Black Water Fury grew cautious.

She saw that the Shahe surprisingly vanished into the void, and than there was no trace of him anywhere.

“Did he retreat?”

No longer could she detect his aura and the group of demonic beasts below, after Shahe had retreated.

One after another, they too quickly withdrew.

It only took a moment.

The battlefield, which was originally filled with roars and wails.

Become so silent that a pin drop could be heard.

This sudden action left everyone in Xue City dumbfounded.

“What’s the situation?”

“The demon army is retreating?”

“It seems like… Yes!”

“Why is it retreating? Any brother with a good head please do a guess.”

“Tsk tsk, according to this gongzi’s guess, this demon army definitely saw this gongzi’s handsomeness, so they humbled themselves and fled!”

“Bah!”

“Shame on you!”

“Beat him up!”

.

.

.

“Well, If I’m to guess, Demon Army must be afraid of that white haired maiden of the Void Refining Realm!”

“Right!”

“That makes sense!”

“Just now, her meteorite swarm spirit technique actually exterminated 50,000 demon beasts at once! How terrifying!”

“Although but… Will the demon army come again?”

“If they come, so be it! I, the ‘Bu Yang’ Seven, will definitely make them unable to return!”

“… (Tsk tsk, seven ugly bastards)”

“Huh?” x7

“Help! I didn’t say anything this time!”

“You mean to say that our eyes have betrayed us!” x7

Bang-! Bang-! ****!

! ….

The mob attack on that side.

It did not catch Xue Menghan’s attention.

Her eyes were on the potholed and blood-soaked battlefield.

The earth was filled with the bones of demon beasts that were left over by gnawing.

There wasn’t a single living demon beast in sight.

“Father, the Demon Army… Did they really retreat?”

She really couldn’t believe it.

“It should be a temporary retreat.”

Xue Yuanshan couldn’t understand it either.

He stroked his bearded roots, looked out at the Black Water Fury in the distant sky, and guessed.

“It might be because.

“The powerful spirit art of that Void Refining Realm maiden had exterminated 50,000 demonic beasts.

“So much so that it deterred Shahe.”

“But there is no way that Shahe, who led a demon army of 300,000 to attack us would simply give up.”

“Although he retreated temporarily today, but the next attack against is likely to be even more fierce.”

“After all, the Demonic Beast Mountain Range is a very abundant source of demonic beasts!”

Xue Yuanshan thought about it before saying solemnly to Xue Menghan.

“Menghan. I have a hunch that Xue City will probably fail to defend.”

“While it’s safe now, you should immediately return to our Mansion.”

“Then bring the injured Young Master Ling with you and head to Yuzhou together to enter the Changyu Empire.”

“Now that you are the sister of the Chang Yue Empress, there won’t be much people who dare to touch you in Yuzhou.”

“In the future, stay by the empress’ side!”

Xue Menghan, however, shook her head and spoke firmly.

“I will not leave my father, I will live and die with Xue City!”

In his heart, Xue Yuanshan was touched and pleased.

But on the surface was a look of displeasure and rebuke, scolding her by saying.

“Menghan listen to me, It was your mother’s last wish.”

“The wish is that once you reach adulthood, to stay by the empress’ side to cultivate and protect her!”

“Do you want to go against your mother’s last wish?

“You must leave by midnight tonight!”

Hearing her mother’s last wishes.

Xue Menghan’s eyes gradually reddened.

She wiped away the teardrops spilling out of the corners of her eyes, and her voice choked slightly..

“What about you, father…”

Xue Yuanshan spoke firmly with dignity.

“Don’t worry, although I’m at the Returned Origin Realm, I have already set my foot halfway into the Void Refining Realm, so I won’t die that easily.”

“But…”

“No buts, as the Lord of Xue City, Father has a heavy responsibility on my shoulders and cannot be swayed by personal feelings, Menghan, you must understand this!”

“Father…”

“Be a good child, Go!”

“…I understand.”

Xue Menghan wiped her tears.

In the end, she reluctantly jumped off the city’s wall.

Walking towards the City Lord’s residence with a heavy heart.

Except she secretly decided not to take Ling Aotian with her to the Changyu Empire.

Instead, the man she had in mind and wanted to take with her was Jiang Mu.

So tonight, she decided to visit the Lihua Pavilion to look for Jiang Mu.

Looking at Xue Menghan’s disappearing back.

Xue Yuanshan let out a deep sigh.

He caressed the worn ring on his left ring finger.

It was a token of affection given by his wife, Yun Lan.

“O Lan’er. For the sake of our daughters safety, I had to deceive her by fabricating your last wish.”

“You wouldn’t blame me for it, would you? I… I miss you.”

At this moment, above the battlefield.

Black Water Fury had been searching with her divine sense.

Eventually acknowledging.

Shahe together with those 50,000 demonic beasts.

Indeed, they had completely retreated.

This made her very upset.

“Then what is this god going to do? Should I continue waiting or just go back to the Lihua Pavilion?”

“But the b*stard said that I should delay until the Xuanyang Sect’s arrives tomorrow.”

She was expecting to pass the time by fighting Shahe for a while.

But now Shahe had run away.

So she was bored to death, being alone in the air.

“Let’s wait and see. If the demon army doesn’t return to attack the city.”

“Then this god will go back to the Lihua Pavilion.”

“Right now the bastard is very weak.”

“I wonder how drained he will be as he receives a backlash from this god’s Demonic Power?”

“I so want to go back and help him thoroughly *Lick*”

***

Meanwhile. Hundreds of miles away from Xue City.

Deep in a mountain forest, in a hidden underground cave.

Spatial ripples appeared. Then. An Insect Limbs and Armor, a humanoid demonic beast, landed from space.

Shahe’s pitch-black, raised his eyes excitedly.

“Lihua really didn’t lie to me!”

“That white-haired maiden is truly the Black Water Snake Clan Chief, Black Water Fury!”

“Finally, I’ve found you! Hahahaha!””

Having found the long sought after Black Water Fury.

Shahe laughed loudly and wildly in excitement.

“Next. All I need to do is capture her alive and devour this Demon God realm soul of hers.”

“Then. I, Shahe, will definitely be able to break through to the Empyrean Realm!”

“Hahahaha!!”

It was as if he could see a vision of himself breaking through to the Empyrean realm and reigning over the world.

He even saw a vision of himself taking the Desolate Lord Sha Bailun and replacing him!

That’s when, in the center of the cave was a big, dark stone tablet.

It emitted dazzling light.

Then. A figure of a curvaceous woman emerged from the stone tablet dimly.

Shahe in a good mood, took the initiative to speak up and said.

“Lihua, you were right!”

“That white-haired maiden is indeed the Black Water Fury! Hahahahahahaha!”

Laughter echoed through the cave for a long time.

And Lihua was not at all pleased.

Her tone was tinged with anger as she questioned

“Shahe! Why did you withdraw your troops instead of capturing the Black Water Fury?!”

She was truly furious.

For the sake of Jiang Mu’s Transformation Technique and Teleportation Technique.

So she had carefully made a well-laid plan.

This plan was divided into three steps.

Firstly, she would tell Shahe about the Black Water Fury, who would then go and capture her, so that the Black Water Fury wouldn’t be able to look after Jiang Mu.

Secondly, Lu Churou would lure Ding Nanrong away from Jiang Mu.

Thirdly, she herself would tame the helpless and isolated Jiang Mu.

Originally, the first step was about to succeed.

But Shahe unexpectedly retreated and didn’t fight the Black Water Fury.

Such a one way or another.

At any moment, Black Water Fury would likely return to Jiang Mu.

This also disrupted Lihua’s plans.

Shahe snorted back.

“The Black Water Fury’s aura is weaker than the current me.

“But regardless of that, she is a true Demon God realm, very well experienced in battle and is hard to capture alive.”

“Moreover. “It’s not like you didn’t see the sight of her exterminating 50,000 demonic beasts at once.”

“This is something that even I, Shahe, cannot do.”

“Rashly engaging in battle with her, I do not even have a ten percent certainty of capturing her alive, who knows what other tricks she might have?”

“So I withdraw my troops for the time being.”

Lihua asked irritably, “For the time being? Then when do you plan to capture her again?”

Shahe said conspiratorially, “Tomorrow at noon! Because this clever me has come up with an idea, an idea that has a 90% certainty of capturing her alive!”

***

Lihua Pavilion. Inside the Royal Suite.

Jiang Mu was supported by Ding Nanrong to lie down on the magnificent big soft bed.

At this moment, he was getting dizzy and weak.

His skin was also getting redder as his body became more and more feverish and hot.

“This is a slight backlash from the demonic power, can you withstand it?”

Ding Nanrong arched her eyebrows in a slight frown.

She was worried that Jiang Mu, in this state, wouldn’t be able to endure the demon power backlash.

“Rong’er, please help me.”

Jiang Mu resisted the burning.

This kind of mild demonic backlash would actually only require him to fight a bit and let off some steam.

But now he had no spiritual power as well as his body was still weak, so he couldn’t fight at all.

So it would be harder to get through, and I was afraid that the heat would damage his internal organs, meridians, or whatnot.

If he were to lose consciousness, it would be even more dangerous.

Ding Nanrong naturally knew this too.

“Hm.”

She instantly cast out the Water Element Secret Technique.

The next moment, two water dragons, thick as arms, extended out from both of Ding Nanrong’s arms.

One water dragon wrapped around Jiang Mu’s waist and rolled him up from the bed.

The other water dragon, on the other hand, washed Jiang Mu’s skin from top to bottom, back and forth.

What Ding Nanrong was doing was to inject spiritual energy into Jiang Mu’s body, helping him to cool down in a comprehensive and continuous manner.

Until the demonic power was done backfiring.

It was just that this process was a bit… not very cultural.

Because Jiang Mu was overheated due to his heat.

He was actually squirming in front of her.

Slowly raising her head and saw something fighting to burst through his pants.

And her speed was raised even faster.
