Chapter 853: Chapter 720: Underground Palace Female Assassin, Leng Lian

Immortal City, Wind-binding Spirit Demon-suppressing Monument

The female assassin Leng Lian looked at her Blood-drinking Dream Demon with a shocked expression, then swept her gaze over the suddenly appearing star scar on the spring pool, unable to believe it!

“How can this be!!” The female assassin yelled in a daze!

Attacking across space!!

Leng Lian never could have imagined that just as she was about to unleash her full power and take down Duan Yi, a super-powerful being had torn through space and attacked her Demon Spirit!

This star scar, weakened by space, was no longer at the Peak Emperor grade, but for the low-grade Emperor Blood-drinking Dream Demon, it was quite deadly!

...

The Blood-drinking Dream Demon’s mental restriction ability was the best among Demon Spirits, but it had a fatal weakness: its defense was pitifully low. A Quasi-Emperor with a very high attack power could instantly kill the Blood-drinking Dream Demon!

This star scar, which came from the other side of space, had only the power of a Quasi-Emperor, but it hit the Blood-drinking Dream Demon right in the middle, causing heavy damage to the Blood-drinking Dream Demon!

Duan Yi, who was fighting Leng Lian, was also stunned, not knowing what had happened. However, since this was a rare opportunity, how could Duan Yi let it pass? Immediately, he ordered his two main pets to launch an attack on Leng Lian’s injured Blood-drinking Dream Demon!

“Rip!!!!!!!”

The Blood-drinking Dream Demon couldn’t dodge at all and was instantly torn into shreds by these two low-grade Emperors, blood dripping!

As a soldier’s defeat is like the collapse of a mountain, after this abrupt skill appeared, Duan Yi seized the perfect opportunity to counterattack. After killing Leng Lian’s Blood-drinking Dream Demon, he killed another Elemental Quasi-Emperor, inflicting heavy damage on Leng Lian twice in a row.

Leng Lian was thrown into disarray and didn’t dare to linger. She looked at the spring pool with extreme resentment!

Accompanied by her other three main pets, Leng Lian fled in grief and anger. This female assassin reacted quickly; if she had lingered a moment longer, Duan Yi would definitely have cut her down.

Duan Yi did not pursue her. She was an assassin, skilled in hiding, fleeing, and assassination. Pursuing her might lead to being counter-killed instead.

With two of Leng Lian’s main pets killed, Duan Yi was fearless, even if Leng Lian tried to assassinate him while he was reciting a spell.

“I don’t know who the expert is that came to my aid, but Duan Yi will never forget your kindness.” After driving Leng Lian away, Duan Yi bowed to the spring pool and expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

On the other side of the spring pool, the Soul Emperors saw the battle situation reversed in an instant, and it took a long time for them to recover from the shock. Their gaze then fell on Liu Binglan.

“Your Highness the Venerate, could it be that your soul pet has already surpassed the Emperor level? Otherwise, how could you reverse the situation across space?” Elder Ting was the first to ask.

Elder Ting’s question was what all the Soul Emperors wanted to ask – only a soul pet that surpassed the Emperor level could tear through space!

“Star River is an Abnormal Soul Pet, and the Inverted Reflection Spring itself has a corresponding space effect. The skill of a different race can penetrate to a certain extent.” Liu Binglan explained indifferently.

Liu Binglan’s skill had made the battle situation change instantly, but her explanation was so understated and indifferent. The Soul Emperors had wanted to compliment her, but when the words reached their lips, they didn’t say anything. The cold beauty’s reputation was indeed well-deserved. This Soul Emperor felt that before this cold beauty, flattery was simply pointless.

In fact, Liu Binglan could have done the same when Chu Mu and Yang Qi were fighting earlier.

However, she did not use this skill for three reasons. First, Chu Mu and Yang Qi’s battle was not on the spring pool, so everyone had to stand on the edge and watch diagonally to see the battle, and Liu Binglan could not attack the opponent. Second, this skill that penetrates space consumes a lot of energy, and after Liu Binglan’s soul pet released it, it would take a long time to release it again. Third, after piercing through space, its power would be greatly reduced, and at most, it would only be equivalent to a full strike from a Quasi-Emperor. If Leng Lian’s Blood-drinking Dream Demon hadn’t had such a low defense, the effect of this skill would have been very limited.

Of course, no matter what, changing the battle situation in an instant through space made the Soul Emperors truly respect this Female Venerate!

“It’s strange, what’s Duan Yi hesitating about?” Elder Ting asked.

“He seems to be looking for something…”

…

Immortal City

Chu Mu rode on the Little Hiding Dragon, originally planning to go and awaken the Holy Pet Xuan Zhen Zhe. However, Miss Shan said that she only knew the locations of the other six Demon Suppression Tablets but didn’t know which tablet belonged to which Sacred Beast.

As a result, Chu Mu had to let Miss Shan guide him to the nearest Demon Suppression Tablet.

“Woo-woo-woo-woo~~~~~~~~”

Little Mo Xie was lying on Chu Mu’s shoulder, and suddenly her fluffy ears stood up, her agile eyes staring in a certain direction.

“What’s the matter?” Chu Mu asked.

Little Mo Xie didn’t answer, jumping directly to the ground and running ahead of the Little Hiding Dragon.

Chu Mu didn’t let the Little Hiding Dragon chase after her immediately, letting Little Mo Xie wander instead. Chu Mu didn’t have to worry too much about Mo Xie. On the one hand, the probability of Chu Lian’s Mo Xie being attacked by a creature higher than its level was almost zero. On the other hand, Little Mo Xie’s speed, evasion, and risk perception were all strong, so nothing would happen to her.

It didn’t take long for Little Mo Xie to return, seemingly not finding anything, and obediently returned to Chu Mu’s shoulder.

…

In a half-destroyed palace, a bewitching woman in black clothes sat on the ground with a pale face, breathing heavily.

“Damn it, I was so close! Who cast such a godly skill that actually struck from another space!”

This woman was none other than Leng Lian who fought against Duan Yi not long ago. Since both of her spirits were damaged, she had been badly injured, and she was now hiding and recovering. Thinking about that space-crossing Star Trace skill from before, Leng Lian couldn’t help feeling a residual fear. That person who attacked her across space was just too terrifying!!

“Thankfully, I managed to steal this. Without it, there’s no way they’ll be able to awaken the ancient sacred beast.” Leng Lian revealed a smile as she held a space ring in her hand.

This space ring was stolen by Leng Lian during her fight with Duan Yi. Not only did it contain some of Duan Yi’s belongings, but also the most crucial item to awaken the sacred beast – the Heavenly Dew.

Without the Heavenly Dew, completing the spell would be pointless, so Leng Lian was still successful in her mission.

She stretched out her hand and gently stroked a Nine-Tail Fox with nine fluffy tails and an aura of demonic energy. With a smile, she said, “Well done.”

The theft ability of Leng Lian’s Nine-Tail Fox was indispensable in her survival among the numerous Soul Emperors as a lone woman. The death of the Blood-drinking Dream Demon saddened Leng Lian greatly, but if she had to choose, she would rather have the Blood-drinking Dream Demon die than let anything happen to her Nine-Tail Fox.

“Woo woo woo!!!!!”

Suddenly, the Nine-Tail Fox let out a cry.

Leng Lian immediately raised her guard, instructing the Nine-Tail Fox to hide and observe the situation outside.

“Chu Chen, what was your little fox running around for just now?” A woman’s voice reached Leng Lian.

“It might have discovered something, but it’s probably just an illusion.” A man’s voice slowly came through.

The man’s words made Leng Lian’s heart tighten, and her heart beat faster.

“Fortunately, I always concealed my aura, otherwise I would have been discovered just now.” Leng Lian said with lingering fear.

“Speaking of which, that woman just called the man Chu Chen?” Leng Lian murmured to herself.

Leng Lian had heard the name Chu Chen many times. He was the extraordinary youth who had swept through all the younger generation by wielding Emperor-level Soul Pets in the World Decree. Of course, these weren’t enough to attract Leng Lian’s attention, what was more important was that her master had once instructed her to capture Chu Chen alive if she met him, as there would be a great reward!

Her mistress’s generosity had been experienced by all the members of the underground palace, and the so-called heavy reward was definitely a third or fourth-grade emperor spirit item, which was extremely tempting for Leng Lian!

Leng Lian kept a calm face, her mind spinning rapidly, obviously thinking about how to capture Chu Chen alive.

“Hao Ting had sent a message a long time ago that Chu Chen and another woman were trapped in the Immortal City as inspectors. Then he probably doesn’t know about the Demon Suppression Tablet yet, and doesn’t know who the person who came to awaken it is… That’s perfect, I can use my other identity…” A cold smile suddenly appeared on Leng Lian’s pale face, showing that she had already come up with a good plan.

…

Chu Mu was still riding Little Hiding Dragon, continuing forward according to Miss Shan’s instructions. They should be nearing the next Demon Suppression Tablet.

“Huh? Someone’s there? Mo Xie, go check it out!” Chu Mu raised his alertness and spoke to Little Mo Xie.

Little Mo Xie quickly jumped to the ground, and with a few steps, she darted into a nearby dilapidated palace.

Chu Mu also instructed Little Hiding Dragon to follow quickly. As soon as they entered the broken palace, they heard a woman gasping, seemingly injured.

“Woo woo woo woo~~~~~~~”

Little Mo Xie jumped onto the steps, her eyes fixed on the three soul pets above the steps that carried hostility.

“It seems like there’s a woman leaning over there.” Miss Shan pointed to the area behind the three hostile soul pets and spoke to Chu Mu.

Chu Mu nodded, letting Little Hiding Dragon slowly approach,

“You…” The very weak-looking woman suddenly shouted, “Hmph, you actually chased me here. We, the Hunting Association, don’t have a single coward. Even if it costs me my life, I will complete it. Just come at me!”

Chu Mu and Miss Shan immediately showed puzzled expressions. This opponent appeared to be an expert from the Hunting Association. Could it be that they were one of the seven warriors who had come to awaken the Seven Diagram Sacred Beast?

It was quite normal to encounter one of the warriors here since it was already very close to the Demon Suppression Tablet.

“Miss, don’t panic. Could you be Madam Yan from the Hunting Association?” Miss Shan tentatively asked.

Madam Yan was a well-known female Soul Emperor in the Hunting Association. Miss Shan had seen her a few times and remembered her slightly enticing voice. Madam Yan was a widow who always wore a black gauze hat, and few people had seen her appearance.

“Hmm? Who is this younger sister?” The woman immediately poked her head out.

“I am Shan Ying. We met at the banquet.” Miss Shan was even more certain of the woman’s identity and hurriedly replied.

“Oh, so it’s Sister Shan… I’ve heard about you being trapped in the Immortal City, and it’s great to meet you here.” Madam Yan showed a touch of joy.

…

Chu Mu didn’t say a word, just gazing indifferently at the injured, mature, and slightly enchanting woman.
