Chapter 90: The Pinnacle of the Demon Realm (25)
“Then don’t blame us for not being polite!”
The Sect Master’s eyes flashed with a complex light, as if he had made some kind of decision.
“Hmm,” Chuzheng nodded, indicating she wouldn’t blame them.
With two light taps of her toes, she left the Formation with Li Tang and landed on the roof of the great hall.
The woman on the roof raised her hand, her wide sleeves fluttering, and as her fingers swept through the air, Wan Luo was lifted by an invisible force and dropped from the sky, the Elder beside him scurrying to catch him.
“Sect…” After uttering just one syllable, Wan Luo spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Senior brother? Senior brother, how are you?”
“Heh…” Wan Luo tried to speak, but blood gushed out as soon as he opened his mouth.
“Senior brother!”
“Chuzheng, what have you done to senior brother!” a certain Elder roared at Chuzheng.
“It’s merely a return for what he did to Li Tang just now,” the woman’s cold voice drifted down from the rooftop with the wind.
That Elder cursed angrily, Li Tang hadn’t been coughing up blood incessantly!
“Chuzheng, do you truly wish to become enemies with Ziyun Sect over him, a member of the Demon Clan?”
Chuzheng thought for a moment, her little face serious, and she nodded solemnly, “Yes.”
The Good Person Card was more important.
“Sect Master, why waste words on her? We cannot let Li Tang be completely consumed by demonic energy!”
“Sect Master, make your move!”
“Sect Master!”
The Sect Master’s eyebrows knitted into a frown.
As someone took care of Wan Luo, the Sect Master led the remaining Elders towards Chuzheng, each brandishing their Spiritual Artifacts, their imposing aura sweeping across from the skies.
The woman standing on the roof merely let her skirt billow in the wind, her expression unchanged, coldly watching the people leaping towards her.
Chuzheng raised her hand, black Demonic Qi gathering in her palm into a mass.
An Elder’s eyes widened in shock: “You are also from the Demon Clan!”
Chuzheng replied calmly, “Didn’t I tell you?”
Sect Master: “…” When did you ever say that!
“Knowing now isn’t too late.”
Chuzheng waved her hand, the mass of Demonic Qi in her palm flying out, dividing into several masses in the air and hurtling towards the Sect Master and the Elders.
After being dispersed, the Demonic Qi seemed unimposing.
However, when the Demonic Qi was about to reach them, the undissipated energy in the air was drawn down like flowing water.
The masses of Demonic Qi quickly expanded and exploded with a thunderous roar.
The blast swept over, sending earth and stones flying and withering the ancient trees, leaving behind only ruins.
The Sect Master and the Elders were somewhat disheveled, but fortunately, they were unhurt.
“Sect Master… Sect Master, what is her power level?”
“To conceal it so that none of us noticed, her strength is not under you or me,” the Sect Master said heavily.
Her being from the Demon Clan explained everything.
He had lured Chuzheng to the main peak only because he feared that she might harbor feelings for Li Tang due to their time spent together, preventing them from dealing with Li Tang.
But he hadn’t expected that she too would be from the Demon Clan.
Two members of the Demon Clan had been right under their noses…
The Sect Master suddenly thought of the message from Baiying Valley, and his face darkened abruptly.
He suddenly shouted at Chuzheng, “You are the Heart Demon!”
He had thought the message from Baiying Valley referred to Li Tang.
But now it seemed it was not Li Tang; Heart Demons are not so easily beset by inner turmoil.
As soon as the Sect Master spoke, the Elders were taken aback. She was the Heart Demon?
Chuzheng did not admit or deny it.
The atmosphere grew tense.
“You want to lead the Demon Clan back to the Human Realm!” the Sect Master boldly guessed. Her infiltrating the Ziyun Sect must definitely be to gather intelligence, “Chuzheng, you won’t succeed!”
“I’m not that idle.” The affairs of the Demon Clan are none of her concern.
At this point, whatever Chuzheng said, they wouldn’t believe her.
“We must kill her.”
The rumors about the Demon Bone, true or false, they couldn’t take the risk, they couldn’t allow the Demon Clan to return to the Human Realm.
“Quick, notify the other Sects.”
Li Tang, who was held in Chuzheng’s embrace, began to tremble violently at this moment, the suppressed dark energy in his eyes eventually overtaking the red light. He suddenly extended his hand, striking at Chuzheng.
Chuzheng caught Li Tang’s wrist, pulled it backward, and locked it behind him, forcing him to be unable to make a move, “Stop messing around.”
“Let me go!” Li Tang growled fiercely and, shaking Chuzheng off, attacked her.
Seeing such a good opportunity, the Sect Master and several Elders wouldn’t miss it, and they each moved forward to attack.
Li Tang didn’t want to attack her, but he couldn’t control himself.
He wanted to tell her to leave, but no matter what, he couldn’t make a sound, and could only watch as he continued to attack her.
“Bang!”
“Boom——”
Above the rubble, several silhouettes moved swiftly, intertwining and separating, with Spiritual Energy and Demonic Qi colliding, sending wave after wave of energy rippling out.
The sky was densely covered with dark clouds of Demonic Qi, churning constantly as if about to press down at any moment.
“Be careful!”
Unable to make a sound, Li Tang suddenly let out a loud shout, and quickly lunged in that direction, tightly embracing Chuzheng.
The strike by the Sect Master was entirely blocked by Li Tang.
Boom——
A clap of thunder resounded through the sky, carrying with it Demonic Qi lightning, striking down and causing a distortion in the void.
The next moment, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, allowing the sunlight to shower down.
The entire space returned to calm.
–
Chuzheng was rushed by Li Tang, and beside her ear was a loud noise; after that, her whole body fell backwards into darkness.
As she continuously fell, she couldn’t see anything in the dark, only feeling the warmth from Li Tang’s body.
Just as Chuzheng was puzzled, she felt a sudden warmth on her lips, moist with a trace of blood, prying open her mouth and aggressively taking over.
An unfamiliar sensation at the tip of her tongue spread throughout her body.
In the darkness, Chuzheng slightly widened her eyes, as if she’d forgotten how to react.
Whish——
Water spread over, and as her body continued to sink, Li Tang held her, and at some point, he had unbuckled the ties of her clothes.
Chuzheng suddenly woke up, grabbing Li Tang’s hand, “Li Tang!”
“I like you.” Li Tang’s heated lips landed on her neck.
Threads of Demonic Qi, like ink dropped into water, slowly spread around them, creating an ethereal and dreamy atmosphere.
Being held by him, Chuzheng could only tilt her head back, “Li Tang, snap out of it!”
“I am very lucid,” Li Tang’s voice was repressed.
“You’re not lucid,” Chuzheng snapped, pulling her clothes back on. Like a lunatic! Had the Good Person Card gone mad?! Why was he pulling at her clothes! Stop pulling! It’ll tear!!
Demonic Qi entwined around the two, as if separating the surrounding water from them.
Li Tang’s fingers rested on Chuzheng’s waist, the temperature on his fingertips steadily climbing, he sought Chuzheng’s lips to kiss.
The moment Chuzheng struggled, Li Tang held her even tighter. She felt like she was hugging a furnace, its heat seemingly able to melt her, creating an odd sensation in her limbs.
His tongue once again invaded, twining with hers, his burning hand sweeping over her waist to rest on her back, one hand cradling the back of her head.
Chuzheng’s eyes were open, and in the water there was light, permitting her to see the person in front of her.
His eyes were slightly closed, with water streaming down his eyelashes, trembling incessantly. His face was exceptionally peaceful at that moment, completely devoid of the earlier madness.
As Chuzheng tried to pull away, the young man’s brow furrowed, holding her tightly, the kisses becoming somewhat rougher.
When Chuzheng relaxed, he too gradually became gentle, treating her like some delicate treasure, with tender care.
