My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

Chapter 1167 - 1121: Hurry Up, Finish the Fight and Loot the Gear

Feng Xiu really got caught in a yin trap this time. He thought he was a demon, and investigating the disappearance of demons could be done smoothly without bothering Qin Liuxi.

Who would have thought, he did manage to investigate, barely killing two big demons, yet the demon-slaying fox was behind him, and he was ambushed, falling into someone’s trap, and even his Demon Core would be lost.

Feng Xiu looked at the dwarf Taoist who called himself Xuan Yi, crazed in appearance, integrating each Demon Soul into the Array Map, causing those Demon Souls to scream bitterly within it, with resentful energy rising.

Meanwhile, his Demon Core was being stored in a large Jade Box, accompanied by a stove nearby, filled with thick essence and blood of demons.

Damn, this madman not only hunts demons to refine the Hundred Demon Map, but he also aims to refine the Demon Core to expand cultivation ambitiously. Insane!

In today’s world, Spiritual Energy is lacking, and it’s hard to find a demon who can develop spiritual wisdom. Though demons are demons, they are not of our kind, so their hearts are indeed different; this is well understood among them. Thus, they don’t trust humans much, and with heavenly rules in place, most demons do not dare to harm the mortal world. They cherish their own cultivation greatly, preferring to retreat to cultivate rather than enter the world to avoid being exterminated by a Heavenly Master.

Therefore, creating the Hundred Demon Map isn’t easy. But looking at that Array Map, there seem to be at least dozens of demons.

This Xuan Yi Heavenly Master has already hunted down quite a few demons.

"Truly beautiful." The Xuan Yi Heavenly Master walked over, his eyes fixated in fascination on Feng Xiu, saying, "Don’t worry, I’ll skin you completely, extract your Demon Soul, and make you the overlord of the Hundred Demon Map. By then, you’ll be a force that no demon dares to oppose. If you become the Demon Emperor, you will..."

Feng Xiu spat, "Do you think a dwarf can tame Laozi? Pah!"

Xuan Yi seemed a bit displeased, saying, "A disobedient demon must be punished."

While speaking, he mumbled under his breath, and a purple light flashed across his wrist, causing the shimmering Purple Light Net over Feng Xiu to tighten instantly.

Feng Xiu felt his entire Demon Soul being constricted, shuddering with pain and sweating profusely.

This Xuan Yi’s origins are unknown, but he possesses a powerful Magic Artifact called the Thousand Mechanism Net. While restrained, the net bears down like a thunderclap, suppressing his Demon Soul. Any attempt at resistance would cause the net to tighten further, even delivering a thunderous strike against his Demon Soul, damaging the Demon Core.

This is surely a Magic Artifact specifically used for capturing demons.

Old Qin, if you don’t come soon, I’ll really die and have to change my surname!

Yet in front of this dwarf, Feng Xiu showed no fear and didn’t submit, coldly laughing, "Have the guts to kill your grandpa, or just wait."

Xuan Yi laughed instead of getting angry, "From what you said, someone’s coming to rescue you? I’d like to see who doesn’t fear death."

As soon as his voice dropped, he swiftly turned and unleashed a Bronze Demon-Slaying Sword, which emitted a flash of blood-red light, slashing towards the newcomer.

Qin Liuxi shushed, and without thinking, unleashed a Thunder Spell.

Boom.

The Thunder Spell sent the Demon-Slaying Sword flying, and with a smack, it embedded straight into the cave wall.

Feng Xiu shouted, "You’ve finally come; if you hadn’t, I’d have been skinned and my core taken."

Qin Liuxi looked over, seeing Feng Xiu in his original form, restrained by the Purple Light Net, his fur somewhat charred and singed.

"You’re a demon fox capable of forming a Space Domain; how were you captured?" Typically, a Heavenly Master wouldn’t stand a chance against Feng Xiu, yet he’s in such a plight.

"Someone behaved unethically, hiding and taking advantage of the moment I was healing from fighting two big demons, using this broken net to capture me." Feng Xiu said, "The dwarf claims this is called the Thousand Mechanism Net. Under its restraint, I can’t utilize any demonic power and suffer under its pressure. Quite a decent Magic Artifact. Hurry, beat him and claim the loot."

Upon hearing this, Qin Liuxi’s eyes gleamed, thinking a Magic Artifact that could subdue even Feng Xiu was indeed a treasure.

Xuan Yi watched as one human and one fox conversed as if no one else was there, his eyes sinister, glaring at Qin Liuxi, "Are you the helper this fox invited? I underestimated him. Even under the Thousand Mechanism Net, he could still summon you."

He was displeased.

When he’s displeased, demons suffer.

Xuan Yi’s mouth opened as if to speak, causing Feng Xiu to shout, "Don’t let him chant...ah."

Seeing the purple light flash on Xuan Yi’s wrist, Qin Liuxi immediately swung the Vajra Ruler at it. The golden light collided with the purple light, causing it to stutter and interrupt the spell.

Xuan Yi’s pupils narrowed upon seeing that ruler; could it be the legendary Heavenly Pig Ruler?

He watched the ruler strike towards him again, hurriedly regaining composure and summoning a Treasure Banner. The banner shimmered with multicolored lights, emblazoned with ghastly demon figures — a Demon Banner.

Upon the Demon Banner’s appearance, its radiant colors dazzled, shaking one’s spiritual sentiment, as if drawing the soul in, causing a slight dizziness.

Qin Liuxi was momentarily stagnant.

Xuan Yi rejoiced as he swiftly lunged, capturing her hand.

That hand was slippery, akin to a boneless, scaleless Blood Leech, icy cold, with a stench permeating Qin Liuxi’s nostrils.

She shivered, eyes open, seeing Xuan Yi’s smug smile. She too smiled, and as Xuan Yi’s smile froze at the corner of his mouth, she suppressed her revulsion and grabbed his hand, "Trying to catch me?"

Xuan Yi was shocked, hastily summoning the Demon Banner, only for Qin Liuxi to pull hard, grabbing the Demon Banner with her other hand. Her hand emitted a searing aura, causing the Demon Banner to quiet down, becoming a mere banner.

"This item is fated with me, much obliged!" Qin Liuxi stowed the Demon Banner into the Qiankun Bag, "You and I are both Taoists; anyone can use a good item. I’ll do you this favor; tell me how to use that Thousand Mechanism Net."

Xuan Yi burst into rage, "Insolence!"

He struggled to break free from Qin Liuxi’s grasp, but the other’s body emitted powerful Daoist intent that enveloped him entirely, immobilizing him.

Suddenly, a chilly breath unexpectedly infiltrated his spiritual platform.

Xuan Yi stiffened, his eyes finally revealing terror.

Soul Search, she intended to Soul Search.

No...

As Qin Liuxi proceeded with the Soul Search, Xuan Yi’s eyes dulled, saliva dribbling from his lips.

Feng Xiu, still ensnared by the net, watched and sighed secretly; Qin Liuxi seemed increasingly empowered, able to fight well, while he had fallen for the dwarf’s trick.

It seems shutting down for a retreat is inevitable; the pace needs catching up!

Qin Liuxi soon completed the Soul Search, looking disgusted, with a hint of surprise and seriousness at the end, before withdrawing her Daoist intent.

Xuan Yi was left dumbfounded.

Feng Xiu remarked, "Swift and decisive, no wonder it’s you. Quickly release me; my skin’s scorched."

Qin Liuxi recited a spell, causing the Thousand Mechanism Net to glow intensely and lift into the air, allowing Feng Xiu to rush out, only to stumble down with an "ouch" when he saw no reaction from someone, he added, "Heartless, give grandpa some good medicine!"

Qin Liuxi stared at Xuan Yi, "This person, has seen Si Luo."

Feng Xiu froze.
