The Illusory Demon Sect Master put on the mask again, his gaze unfazed, and calmly said, “Of course, it’s because of you, my dear sister. Your actions make me feel disgusted, so I never want to see this face that looks exactly like yours for the rest of my life. Just right, practicing the Illusory Demon Technique requires severing emotions and desires. The Charm Heart Stone can corrode my appearance, so I’ll just go with the flow and do it this way.”
“I’ve done all this for one purpose, and that is to kill you.”
“However, it seems that won’t be possible today.”
The Illusory Demon Sect Master glanced at the Demon Spirit, coldly saying, “My good sister, you really are capable. You colluded with Feng Shaoyu back then, and now, you’ve colluded with the people of the Demon Tribe. Hehe, but don’t worry, I will break through to the Holy Realm before you. By then, it will be your death day, and I will personally kill you to honor his soul.”
As the words fell, the Illusory Demon Sect Master laughed heartily and swiftly vanished into the endless sea of thunder.
“Lord Shangguan, should we…?”
The Demon Spirit’s eyes emitted a cold light, killing intent surging from its body, and with a slight gesture of its hand, it made a beheading posture.
The Illusory Demon Sect Master’s strength made even it feel a hint of apprehension; this was a top expert, not inferior to a Semi-Holy Realm powerhouse. Such a person remaining would surely be a disaster.
“No need.”
Shangguan Xier shook her head and sneered, “My sister only reached her current realm by relying on the Charm Heart Stone. She has turned herself into something neither human nor ghost. To take another step forward will be as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Let her be.”
“Then will she…”
The Demon Spirit frowned, about to say something more when suddenly its expression changed.
Whoosh!
It disappeared in an instant, and half a stick of incense later, the Demon Spirit and Shangguan Xier arrived in a sea of thunder.
Buzz!
In the thunder sea, a black restriction rose, showing traces from something that had just passed.
“Just now, a very strong aura swept by.” The Demon Spirit said solemnly.
“Could it be that someone has escaped?”
Shangguan Xier sensed slightly and immediately changed color, “It’s the aura of your Demon Tribe.”
Mo Li’s gaze flickered with cold light, “This aura is very strange. I felt two auras in that great hall similar to my Demon Tribe. Now it seems those two must be strong demons from my tribe hiding!”
“Do you know their identities?” Shangguan Xier frowned.
“Not yet.” Mo Li shook his head, “However, the aura above is extremely terrifying, somewhat similar to the Demon Lord level treasures of my Demon Tribe.”
“Demon Lord level treasures?” Shangguan Xier pondered.
She recalled the investigation by Long Po, which discovered the news of the HongYan Martial Emperor after the destruction of the Ancient Yu Realm. Later, through tracking, it seemed related to the powerful members of the Demon Tribe. Now that she thought about it, it was likely connected to those two strong figures just now.
At the same time, Shangguan Xier also remembered the recent attack on the Xuanyuan Empire by powerful members of the Demon Tribe. Clearly, there was a force from the Demon Tribe, not under the control of the Demon Spirit, but secretly targeting them in the Piao Miao Palace.
“It seems that your control over the Demon Tribe is not so complete.” Shangguan Xier glanced at the Demon Spirit.
“You are no different. Can you control all the Human Race powerhouses?” The Demon Spirit said solemnly.
Shangguan Xier did not reply, her heart sinking, “That means there’s a high possibility that someone is still alive in the Ancient Demon Land. In that case, the news of my Piao Miao Palace and your Demon Tribe joining forces may not be kept hidden.”
As her words fell, Shangguan Xier turned to leave.
“What are you going to do?”
