Chapter 299 - Plotting A Conspiracy
Chen Chen thought about it and decided to secretly fly 250 kilometers towards Wufeng City while no one was noticing.
After resting in silence for a day, Chen Chen finally took out his communication token to contact his master, Yu Qiong.
"Master, has that Void Refinement realm half-demon died yet?"
"No, the person who received him is too strong, so they escaped."
Chen Chen's heart dropped when he saw Yu Qiong's response.
He knew that the Heavenly Diabolism master was very strong but since he had never seen other Void Refinement realm experts fighting with each other before, he didn't know how strong she really was.
Now, it seemed that the Heavenly Diabolism master was considered an absolute powerhouse in the Void Refinement realm. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to escape the human border with the Void Refinement realm half-demon.
"But that receiver is also seriously injured. Chen Chen, she should be the leader of the Heavenly Diabolism, right?"
"Yes, that's her, and she's a demon."
Taking this opportunity, Chen Chen told Yu Qiong about the fact that he had joined the Heavenly Diabolism and even said a lot of nice things.
"Master, you don't have to worry about my safety. For the sake of the human race, it's worth it for me to make even the greatest sacrifice."
Chen Chen finally concluded.
Although there was no one around at this time, he was still full of great righteousness.
"Chen Chen, I know your character well. You might be sly, cunning, greedy, shameless and despicable but you won't harm the human race. I have only one reminder for you, if you have the opportunity, kill the Heavenly Diabolism Master. She carries the Adversity-Overcoming Seal on her body. If you kill her, you will not have to suffer from the Thunder Tribulation."
Looking at the message from Yu Qiong, Chen Chen felt rather speechless. 'What does she mean I'm sly, cunning, greedy, shameless and despicable?'
'This master is terrible. She thinks she can start babbling nonsense and insulting my character just because she has reached the Void Refinement realm.'
'But killing the Heavenly Diabolism master...'
Chen Chen had thought about it before but it would be extremely difficult to do so. After all, she was an elite of the Void Refinement realm and he probably wouldn't have any hopes of doing so before he reaches the Void Refinement realm.
...
Since the Heavenly Diabolism master and that Void Refinement realm half-demon have fled back to the demon territory, Chen Chen saw no need to pretend and immediately returned to Wufeng City.
Two days later, Xia Xishuang finally began to cross the Great Essence Soul realm Tribulation.
Chen Chen consciously retreated by dozens of kilometers.
Although the Thunder Tribulation encountered by Xia Xishuang wasn't weak, it was worlds apart compared to his.
In less than an hour, Xia Xishuang effortlessly transcended the Thunder Tribulation and reached the Essence Soul realm, which made Chen Chen extremely envious.
...
"Chen Chen, I have finally stepped into the Essence Soul realm."
Xia Xishuang did not feel the changes in her body immediately and instead went to Chen Chen's side.
Looking at the joy on Xia Xishuang's face, Chen Chen also subconsciously smiled.
Afterwards, his expression suddenly became serious and he said softly, "Fellow Daoist, you have excellent aptitude, will you become my Dao partner?"
Xia Xishuang was stunned to hear his words but her face gradually reddened. A moment later, she said shyly, "You're becoming more and more indecent."
Chen Chen held Xia Xishuang in his arms, feeling the temperature of her body, which made him feel incredibly at ease, as if all the troubles in this world no longer had anything to do with him.
Feeling his inner peace, Chen Chen subconsciously said, "Xishuang, you're the only one I'll love for the rest of my life."
Xia Xishuang's body trembled slightly and a moment later, she said tenderly, "Me too."
Chen Chen smiled.
If he was compared to a huge boat braving against the wind and waves, Xia Xishuang would be the harbor where he could be docked.
'What else can a man ask for in this life?'
The thought of it made Chen Chen's expression turn solemn again.
"Xishuang, I heard that there is a special cultivation method that allows a man and a woman to cultivate together in order to improve the efficiency of cultivation. It seems to be called... double cultivation, I think. I don't know if it's true or not. Do you think it's true?"
"…"
...
Meanwhile...
In a certain ordinary mountain in the demon territory, the gray-haired Wu Ling stood in front of a demon with a dragon head and a human body.
Although the cultivation level of this demon was only at the peak of the Essence Soul realm, his aura was extraordinary and it was obvious that he had been holding a high status for a long time.
Even in the face of an existence whose cultivation level was at the level of the Void Refinement realm, he wasn't subservient at all.
"Senior, I do not only represent the Divine Dragon Clan, but also the other clans that oppose to the Demon Courts. You have to consider this carefully, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you half-demons."
The Divine Dragon cupped his fists at Wu Ling with a sincere smile.
Wu Ling's expression was extremely gloomy.
The purpose of the Divine Dragon's visit was clear and that was, he wanted him to cooperate in killing the Demon Courts' emissary, who was also the Heavenly Diabolism master who had brought him to the demons' territory.
To be honest, he was a little afraid.
When he was in the human territory, the Heavenly Diabolism master was facing three enemies alone and holding back three Void Refinement realm human cultivators. Only then, did he get an opportunity to arrive at the demon territory.
His strength had reached the middle stage of the Void Refinement realm, which was far too powerful for an early-stage Void Refinement realm cultivator like him to contend with.
Seeing that he still hadn't made up his mind, the Divine Dragon continued, "Senior, as long as we succeed, the demons are willing to give 25,000 miles of land to the half-demons and strictly restrain the other clans from discriminating against the half-demons. In the future, the half-demons will no longer be oppressed."
Hearing these words, Wu Ling's expression changed.
He had to admit that he was actually somewhat tempted.
Once the Heavenly Diabolism master died, the benefits given by these demon clans would be huge. More importantly, he would also be able to succeed the Heavenly Diabolism and become the new Heavenly Diabolism master.
Although the strength of the Heavenly Diabolism wasn't as great as that of the four major clans or the four imperial dynasties and eight great Demon Clans, they had great involvement in both the human and demon races.
If used well, it would be a powerful force that would contribute greatly.
If they had 25,000 kilometers of land to reside in, he may be able to promote the half-demons to greater glory.
In addition...
He would probably succeed the Heavenly Diabolism master.
The demoness had only joined the Heavenly Diabolism for a few years, and if she wasn't too powerful, he wouldn't have succumbed to her at all.
At the thought of this, Wu Ling made up his mind and said coldly, "Tell me, how do you want me to cooperate?"
"Senior, rest assured, she's already seriously injured. As long as you put this on her wound, she will naturally no longer have the power to resist."
While speaking, the Divine Dragon Clan took out a black wooden block that seemed extremely ordinary.
Wu Ling looked at the block of wood with a gloomy expression.
"Will this thing really work? You guys aren't playing a trick on me, are you?"
The Divine Dragon shook his head repeatedly and said, "Senior, you must be joking, we will never play a trick on you."
"Now that the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan supports the Demon Courts, the Demon Courts are eager to incorporate the clans under the few major demon clans. When the time comes, we will become rootless."
"You might not know this but she's also Botanic Demon, just like the Demon God. At the end of the day, the eight demon clans are not united. What if the Demon Courts control the majority of the demons in the future and incites her desire for revenge?"
"In such circumstances, we can't feel safe about handing over all the power to the Demon Courts so we must kill her. This block of black wood is the nemesis of Botanic Demons. If she's not injured, so be it but now that she is, even a peak Essence Soul realm cultivator can easily kill her, so Senior, please do not worry!"
Hearing her words, Wu Ling asked, "If you really kill her, what will happen to the Demon God's bloodline?"
Hearing his words, the Divine Dragon snickered and said sneeringly, "Don't worry, Senior, the Demon God's descendants do not have a high cultivation level. As long as she dies, they will be animals waiting to be slaughtered."
"So that's how it is."
Wu Ling came to a sudden realization and took the black wood after nodding.
As a diabolic cultivator, all he cared about was only profit and it wasn't within his consideration, whether he was being an ingrate or not.
