I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 808 - 302: The Demon Lord Appears! What a Huge Car! (Part 3)

Ji Lianxing frowned, "Trying to buy me off? What kind of person do you think I am? I’m very contractual..."

"Two hundred thousand taels!"

"Haha, you think I haven’t seen money before?"

"Fifty... no, one million taels!"

"Deal!"

Ji Lianxing’s eyes sparkled as she extended her delicate hand, "Cash or silver note?"

"..."

Duan Zhongmou’s mouth twitched.

He was panicking, who would carry a silver note worth a million taels on them!

"I don’t have that much on me right now, but rest assured, this amount is nothing for the Prince Yu Mansion... We have businesses everywhere, and connections in Cao Yun for salt and iron. As long as you let us leave, a mere million taels is no issue..."

"You talked for so long, turns out it’s just empty promises?"

"The Princely Heir is already a fugitive; surely the court will confiscate the mansion’s assets. You think I’m foolish?"

Ji Lianxing pouted, muttering, "I thought I could get rich, but it’s just an empty joy... Forget it, then you can go die."

"Wait..."

Duan Zhongmou exclaimed in shock, but Ji Lianxing gave him no chance.

Boom——

As the "Zhen" symbol lit up, slowly rotating like a flesh-and-blood millstone, it crushed his body inch by inch into indistinguishable, viscous pulp.

"One down, next is your turn."

Ji Lianxing flashed to the front of the dark sedan chair and pushed the door open.

Inside was a black cat, trembling, its oddly colored eyes full of fear.

While Chu Heng sat in the chair, head hanging as if he had fainted.

"Did he faint from shock?"

Ji Lianxing rubbed her chin thoughtfully, "Chen Mo didn’t specify dead or alive, shall we let him decide? The signal’s been sent out for a while, he should have received it, right?"

"Ah, just in time, he’s here..."

Swish——

Lightning flashed, and Chen Mo landed.

Seeing the mess around, he paused, surprised.

He followed the fluctuations of the Green Spirit Jade here, not expecting to arrive after everything had ended.

Seeing Ji Lianxing nearby, he quickly approached, asking, "Why are you here? Where’s Chu Heng?"

Seeing this bastard again, Ji Lianxing couldn’t help but blush, recalling last time when he used her to clean his weapon, restraining the urge to bust his head, she said:

"A Third-rank Grandmaster came to the Imperial Music Bureau to capture people, wanting to take Yu’er and Liu Miaozhi away, and I slaughtered him."

"I followed the beacon he had on him all the way out of the city and ended up here... That old man is dead. Chu Heng is here, do what you want."

Chen Mo saw the unconscious Chu Heng in the sedan chair and sighed in relief, nodding, "Sect Master Ji, thanks to you, or he really would have escaped."

Ji Lianxing turned her head away, snorting, "When you need me, I’m Sect Master Ji; when you don’t, I’m the Paper Flying Girl. You’re so realistic... Do you know how long it took me to wash that off? It was repulsive!"

"..."

Thinking back to this matter, Chen Mo was a bit embarrassed.

But what’s done is done, it’s too late to say anything, now’s the crucial time.

Just as he drew the Broken Jade Blade, ready to chop up Chu Heng, he heard a strange sound coming from Chu Heng’s mouth.

One was his original voice, and the other was slightly softer, as if two people were conversing.

"...you promised me, as long as I let you possess my Divine Soul, you would help me kill Chen Mo! Now he’s right in front, why hesitate?"

"Sorry, I deceived you."

"What, what did you say?!"

"I just wanted to use you to lure Chen Mo out, never intended to kill him."

"You’re the Demon Lord! How can you lie?!"

"Who said the Demon Lord can’t lie? Lies are the foundation of civilization, a mark of distinction from savagery, so I love telling little lies."

"..."

"Alright, next is the crucial part, are you ready?"

"Ready for what?"

"To die."

"?!"

Chu Heng’s body levitated as if grabbed by an invisible hand.

Amidst wretched screams, he was torn apart from the middle!

Until the end, he couldn’t understand why, despite everything proceeding as planned—the grand array exploded, Chen Mo took the bait—yet he was the one dying?!

The invisible hand dipped into the steaming hot blood, smeared it in the air, drawing an intricate pattern that seemed like Taoist yin-yang and five elements but exuded a fierce, sinister energy.

Buzz——

The array formed, and the void rippled.

Both felt chills up their spines, with a deep-rooted terror rising as if some unspeakable existence had descended upon this realm.

"Something’s not right!"

"Attack!"

Ji Lianxing fully activated Primordial Qi, the antique bronze scroll disassembled, pages fluttering like a hurricane.

She then bit her tongue and spat True Words: "Break!"

Magnificent light shot out, crashing into the blood-colored pattern!

Chen Mo wielded the Broken Jade Blade, True Yuan infusing it, slicing in a roar, nearly tearing the void!

However, no matter how they acted, the pattern remained as solid as a rock.

In the center of the intricate lines, a white, slender hand slowly reached out, followed by an arm like a snow-white lotus root...

Finally, a tall woman appeared before them.

Using "tall" to describe might not be precise; she stood over eight feet, wearing a gray Confucian robe that should have been loose but clung tightly, accentuating her curves.

The hem barely covered her knees, revealing long, jade-like legs, full and lush, with an enchanting plumpness.

Her appearance was insignificant compared to those eyes—black and white and profoundly deep, resembling boundless cosmos, captivating one’s gaze completely.

"I apologize for the bloodshed earlier, but it was a necessary procedure for the manifestation to descend."

The woman’s voice was somewhat deep, carrying a peculiar rhythm.

"..."

Ji Lianxing’s throat moved.

Unexpectedly, the other was so polite, making her a bit at a loss.

"You... you are the Demon Lord?" Chen Mo’s expression was solemn.

"You could say that, but I prefer you to call me by my given name..."

The woman walked up to Chen Mo, gazing at him, her eyes filled with indescribable complex emotions, "Nice to meet you, my name is Zhu Wujiang."
