Chapter 96: Chapter 96: The Pinnacle of the Demon Realm (31)

Lin Chen was beaten half to death, and Li Tang intended to kill him. However, just as he was about to act, a formation suddenly appeared and whisked Lin Chen away.

Aside from a few elders and the Sect Master of the Ziyun Sect, no one else could likely do this.

“Pfft…”

After Lin Chen was rescued, Li Tang, too, couldn’t hold on any longer and fell to the ground.

Chuzheng reached out to catch him, allowing him to lean on her.

“Cough cough cough…”

Li Tang coughed, blood continuously spilling out.

“Why did you fight with him?”

Chuzheng wiped the blood from his mouth and fed him two elixir pills, “What a waste of time.”

“He should…” Li Tang grabbed Chuzheng’s hand, declaring ownership, “You are mine.”

“I belong to myself,” Chuzheng corrected.

“Mine… cough cough cough…” Li Tang’s Demonic Qi seemed somewhat out of control, as if it might erupt at any moment.

“I’m not…”

[Miss, just go along with him a bit, even lying to him would be better. What if he dies from his anger!!]

Chuzheng fell silent for a moment. Was that bastard really suggesting she deceive someone?

“Yours.” Saying it’s yours just makes it yours? How foolish.

Li Tang’s Demonic Qi instantly settled down, and the expression on his face gradually became peaceful.

–

Lin Chen was rescued and brought back to the Ziyun Sect, with Wan Luo pacing back and forth anxiously in the room.

“Sect Master.” As soon as the Sect Master emerged, Wan Luo immediately went up to him, “How is he?”

The Sect Master shook his head, “Lin Chen has sustained severe damage to his meridians, and all his viscera have been eroded by Demonic Qi…”

What he meant was—Lin Chen was likely ruined.

After regaining consciousness, Lin Chen became clearly distraught after learning about his condition.

Always the pride of the heavens, yet now, he had to become less than a common man.

He still had Demonic Qi left in his body, which could claim his life at any moment.

Lin Chen couldn’t accept this.

Wan Luo couldn’t accept it either, his own fine disciple had become like this.

Wan Luo made a fuss about getting the Sect Master to work with the other sects to issue a wanted alert for Chuzheng and Li Tang, determined to capture Li Tang, the chief culprit.

The Demonic Qi in Lin Chen’s body came from Li Tang, and only he could completely cleanse it.

So no matter where Chuzheng and Li Tang went, they could be identified and pursued.

But what about Chuzheng? Every time she was pursued, she didn’t forget to spend Spirit Stones.

Everyone was curious if she had a Spirit Stone Mine, otherwise, how could she have so many Spirit Stones?

So, even more people joined in the pursuit.

Chuzheng was even capable of dealing, trading with those hunting her.

But some wouldn’t fall for that, they just kept targeting her to kill, just focusing on her…

What’s so great about killing her!

And she doesn’t drop any loot!

“I’m going back to the Demon Clan,” Chuzheng said to Li Tang, fed up.

Li Tang’s injuries had mostly healed, “Why?”

“To inherit the position of the Demon Monarch,” Chuzheng said, “and then come back to finish them off!”

Those pursuing her were seriously interfering with her ability to squander wealth.

Li Tang: “…”

He felt something was not quite right.

–

Chuzheng was one to stick to her word, saying she would return to the Demon Clan meant just that, and she set off that very day.

Li Tang knew he couldn’t stop her, his only worry was that returning to the Underground Demon City would strengthen the Heart Demon’s power.

But could he let her go back alone?

The answer was no.

You needed certain strength to come out of the Underground Demon City, but not to enter.

The Underground Demon City hadn’t changed much since she left; it was still that place where no sunlight shone.

“Is this the Underground Demon City?”

Li Tang looked at the buildings in front of him, all of which seemed to carry a sense of antiquity.

“Hmm.” Chuzheng dusted off her sleeves and walked towards Central City.

The Underground Demon City was the Demon Clan’s former capital.

“Where are we going now?” Li Tang hastened his pace to keep up with Chuzheng.

“Into the city, to replace someone,” Chuzheng responded tersely, as if she hadn’t said anything at all.

Find someone? What kind of person?

Two hours later, Li Tang stood outside the Demon Monarch Mansion.

She really intends to inherit the Demon Monarch’s position?

“You are not allowed to linger here!” The Demon Clan, outside the Demon Monarch Mansion, wielding their weapons, were driving them away: “Leave this place at once!”

“I need to see your Demon Monarch.”

“The Demon Monarch is not receiving guests today,” the other party said: “Just go.”

Every day, people come to see the Demon Monarch; how could he possibly have so much time.

“Let them in.”

A voice suddenly came from inside the mansion. The people stopping them hesitated slightly, exchanged glances, and stepped aside to make way.

Chuzheng, disappointed, put the Demon Crystal back.

The one who spoke was the butler of the Demon Monarch Mansion. He led Chuzheng and Li Tang to the meeting hall.

“The two of you, the Demon Monarch will arrive shortly, please wait a moment.”

The butler excused himself and left. Li Tang surveyed the surroundings: “Do you know him?”

“I do not.”

“Then why would he agree to see you?”

“I don’t know.”

“…”

Chuzheng found a place to sit down and, when served tea by the demons, naturally picked up the teacup.

Li Tang held her hand: “Don’t drink.”

In a strange environment, how could you just drink anything they offer here.

“You’re too careful.”

“I don’t want you to get hurt,” Li Tang said, tightening his grip slightly: “I can’t bear it.”

“It’s not poisoned.” Chuzheng broke free from his grasp, took a small sip: “Do you want some?”

Li Tang looked at the teacup in Chuzheng’s hand and took it to have a drink.

Chuzheng: “…”

She glanced at the other teacup and then at her now empty hand.

She was offering him that cup!

Why did he have to take hers!

“The Demon Monarch has arrived——”

The butler, bowing, led the way, followed by a man with an unhurried expression, seemingly rather displeased.

The Demon Monarch walked straight to the head seat and sat down with a flourish.

“You are Chuzheng?” The Demon Monarch looked her over twice.

“Do you know me?”

“Heh.” The Demon Monarch sneered: “Buying up a dozen shops in Central City in a row, of course I know.”

Central City was his territory, after all.

A dozen shops didn’t matter much; what they cared about was that her spending was too generous.

But by the time they arrived, the person was gone, leaving behind only the shops and some images.

Unexpectedly, after so long, she appeared again, and this time came knocking on his door.

“Oh.” Chuzheng nodded, unconcerned about having once bought shops here.

The Demon Monarch’s eyes narrowed slightly, shifting from her to Li Tang.

“Half-Demon?”

Li Tang was startled; the other party had seen through him at a glance.

“And borne a Heart Demon, yet still able to stay conscious, interesting.”

Chuzheng glanced at Li Tang.

Li Tang looked down, not daring to meet Chuzheng’s eyes.

The Demon Monarch curved his finger, tapping on the tabletop: “What business do you have with me?”

The woman was an enigma, and the Demon Monarch would not easily offend her. As for Li Tang, he seemed weak, so he didn’t take him seriously.

“Would you like to get out?” Chuzheng withdrew her gaze from Li Tang.

“Get out?” The Demon Monarch was slightly puzzled: “Get out where?”

“Outside, to the Human Realm,” Chuzheng said.

“…The Human Realm?” The Demon Monarch had a strange expression: “The seal on the Underground Demon City can’t be opened by anyone, so how to get out?”

“How do you think he came here?”

“It’s quite normal for humans to occasionally fall in.”

“…” So that was a thing? She had thought Lin Chen was an exception, but it turned out to be normal.

Not good.

Calm yourself!

Chuzheng replied indifferently, “That’s not for you to worry about.”
