Chapter 329 - Murdering Her Own Husband (1/2)
She took out a boat, and the two boarded it. They then set sail for the Eastern Sea.
"What does this demon lady want from me?"
Zhong Yue locked his brows, and he thought of the deal he made with Tian Mo Concubine, It's only half a year's time now, is she trying to kill her husband already?
Of course, the husband he was referring to was definitely not himself, but the Demon Saint, Tian Mo Concubine's yet-to-reincarnated husband.
Demon Saint was an incredible demon god in the ancient times, he was definitely way stronger than Tian Myriad Mother, or otherwise, he wouldn't have been given the such a domineering appellation of 'saint.' Those who could hold such a title were usually the ancient ancestor gods.
His influence in the demon race was incredibly high as well, else, the demons wouldn't even deign to go through the trouble of selecting concubines for him, let alone gifting him a lady like the Tian Mo Concubine.
It would be incredibly hard to kill him, and Zhong Yue was only forced to make this deal so that he could escape from almost certain death. He only intended to make good on his promise once he ascended to the level of a god, or at the least, a magnate cultivator. But who knew Tian Mo Concubine would search for him so quickly!
Can it be that she thinks I'm strong enough to kill the Demon Saint?
Zhong Yue shook his head, Tian Mo Concubine's thinking was too naive, but even so, this was an invitation he couldn't afford to miss or otherwise, Tian Mo Concubine would think that he was breaking his word. The next time they would meet, she would bring Demon Saint along to kill him.
Zhong Yue walked out from the Seal Suppression Hall, and he flew into the sky. The Golden Crow wings flapped gracefully, leaving behind beautiful flaming contrails as he flitted across the air toward the Tian Ya Ridge.
He was flying at a steady pace, but his speed was still incredibly fast. Ever since condensing an inner core, his speed had heightened a level, and even his usual flying speed was nearly as fast as the speed of sound. His endurance almost received a boost as he wouldn't feel tired despite traveling for a long time.
Tian Ya Ridge was located at the far east of Great Wilderness, close to the border and his current speed. It would still take a day and night of flying for him to reach it.
This rendezvous location was carefully chosen by Tian Mo Concubine as she was afraid that Swords Gate Four Ken Beast would notice her. After all, she was a demon; rashly entering the Great Wilderness would only get herself surrounded by human Qi Practitioners.
The next day, after traveling for a whole day and night, Tian Ya Ridge had finally come into his view. Zhong Yue reduced his speed and took the time to take in the scenery before him. The sun had risen, and beneath him, an ocean of white clouds floated in the sky. Amidst the clouds that were shone upon by the golden sunlight, was the tip of a mountain protruding out – it was oddly eye-catching.
It was the Tian Ya Ridge, one of the most magnificent places in the Great Wilderness; but the Great Wilderness's topography was like a basin, even though it made the Great Wilderness easier to defend, it also made it harder to exit. Plus, that the human race was still weak, they couldn't afford to leave any Qi Practitioners stationed here to stand guard.
Zhong Yue kept the Golden Crow wings and began to walk on foot. He stepped on the clouds and strolled toward the mountain like an immortal.
Step by step, the Tian Ya Ridge grew larger in his sights as he continued to approach it, and all of a sudden, a pillar of black smoke pierced into the sky. Demonic Qi suffused the air, and the pillar of black smoke rushed over like a dark black demonic dragon. Its mouth opened wide and gnawed over at Zhong Yue!
Bang!
The demonic dragon ran into an invisible wall, and the wall then pushed it back and bashed it like a biscuit. Its body was pushed back, and in just the blink of an eye, the miles long demonic dragon dispersed into black smoke. And all Zhong Yue did was lift up and flick a finger.
The dispersed demonic Qi then formed into the shape of a fingertip as Zhong Yue's strike continued down the path where the demonic dragon came from and thrust back to the Tian Ya Ridge.
At this rate, whoever it was standing on the Tian Ya Ridge, he would surely be destroyed by Zhong Yue's strike!
It was at this moment that an inner core appeared on the Tian Ya Ridge. The demonic Qi that was Zhong Yue struck back couldn't inflict any damage at all as it was sucked away by that inner core.
That inner core was a bizarre and dazzling red. It glared in rays with the image of a heavenly demon girl dancing in the inner core.
The inner core then fell down into the mouth of a saintly-looking icy young lady. Her little cherry mouth reached for the inner core and gulped it away.
"Senior Martial Brother Zhong, you're now able to unleash a skill with just a flick of a finger. I admit that your strength has been growing at an absurd rate."
Behind Tian Mo Concubine were five light wheels revolving around her as if they were a part of her blouse. Her smile was like the blooming spring; immediately, flowers were blooming out of thin air in the clouds, and her cold and saintly aura was supplanted by a loving and affectionate young girl's.
She greeted him from far and invited him over, "I thought that after breaking through to the level of Inner Core, I could've displayed my superiority in strength to senior martial brother, but who knew you are still stronger."
" [Yu Lan Aroma True Scripture] ?"
Zhong Yue looked curiously at the flowers blooming in the sky, and the fragrance of the flowers rushed into his nose. The flowery cloud ocean was definitely a picturesque scene.
He then walked toward the Tian Ya Ridge, but as the flowers flowed beneath his feet, Zhong Yue found himself being at the same distance to the Tian Ya Ridge.
He looked at the flowers carefully, the flower petals were looking like fingers, whenever he took a step, the flower petals would quiver as if trying to grab him.
These flower petals weren't the beautiful ones that could be found outside. They were in fact, the spiteful souls of the innocent. Their faces were contorted in pain and anger, and they were reaching their hands out to grab him.
Suddenly, the cloud ocean looked like a huge flower pot with him in the middle!
"Tian Mo Concubine, you are being naughty again."
