I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 128 - 94: Dog Eat Dog? All Must Die!

The bright Jade Plate reflected on the water’s surface, shattered by the prow of the painted boat and turned into Shattered Jade scattered into the river.

The cabin was luxuriously decorated, with gold-woven carpets and sandalwood furniture, equipped with all sorts of items, like a moving water mansion.

Behind the screen, Gu Manzhi soaked in the bath barrel, scooping up the clear water to wipe her body.

"This bad guy, to not even utter a word, leaving marks all over..."

"Humph, thought he was so powerful, and yet didn’t he lose to me?"

Thinking of Chen Mo’s uncontrollable demeanor, her cheeks blushed, and the corners of her lips curled slightly.

The relationship between the two had become increasingly absurd... *but she didn’t reject it, not in her heart, and even felt a hint of joy.*

After cleaning herself, she stepped out of the bath, activated her Primordial Qi to dry the water vapor, and donned the clothes and skirt hanging on the screen.

Returning to the bedroom, she found the room empty.

"Hmm? Where did he go?"

Gu Manzhi entered the adjoining room and saw Yu’er diligently "reading," questioning, "Where did Chen Mo go?"

Yu’er raised her head blankly, "Wasn’t the master with you?"

?!

Gu Manzhi’s heart trembled, realizing something.

A halo erupted around her, lifting her entirely off the ground as she flew out the window.

Her feet barely touched the ground as she sped along the Hidden Dragon River, her peach blossom eyes scanning for traces of Chen Mo.

Given Chen Mo’s personality, he wouldn’t have left without telling her... Certainly, he went alone to find Elder Yu!

That guy!

*Gu Manzhi felt increasingly anxious, quickening her speed.*

At that moment, a Shadow caught up with her, rapidly moving alongside, the gray robe snapping in the wind, asking,

"How did things go?"

Gu Manzhi countered, "Ye Henshui, if things get rough later, will you help me or not?"

The gray-robed figure glanced at her, "Are you planning to kill Elder Yu?"

Gu Manzhi retorted irritably, "Please, a Fourth-Level Mage, even if we teamed up, we couldn’t kill her."

"However, the Gu God Sect is inherently harmful, and my master is merely blinded by hatred. Consort Yu is the true enemy of the Moon Brilliance Sect, using the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect to control innocent people—her methods are too contemptible! I can’t just watch Chen Mo become a puppet!"

The gray-robed figure fell silent.

Moments later, she whispered, "Either way, Elder Yu is the Sect’s Guest Elder; attacking her would mean betraying the sect... I can only promise not to interfere."

"That’s enough."

Gu Manzhi hadn’t truly expected her to help—remaining neutral was the best outcome. Elder Yu primarily intended to poison, not kill; as long as she could hold Elder Yu back, Chen Mo would have the chance to escape.

As the sect’s saintess, Elder Yu likely wouldn’t dare act against her... She could always explain to the master afterward.

The gray-robed figure cast her a sidelong glance.

This Holy Daughter, constantly talking about recruiting Chen Mo, was the one getting deeper and deeper herself...

They proceeded along the Hidden Dragon River, using Daoist Skill to conceal their tracks and departing from South Water Gate while heading towards Yushu Port.

Boom—

After just a few dozen miles, they suddenly heard a low, rumbling sound.

Looking up, they saw two figures entangled in the air.

One person was engulfed in black smoke, darker than the night itself—upon closer inspection, it appeared to be a swarm of flying insects with sharp fangs.

The other had white hair flowing and a seemingly ethereal posture, yet radiated strong Demon Energy.

Chen Mo stood nearby, watching intently. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

*Seeing he was unharmed, Gu Manzhi breathed a sigh of relief, swiftly flying to his side, complaining, "Why don’t you ever take my words seriously? You even went outside the city; do you realize how dangerous it is here..."*

Chen Mo pointed to the elderly woman wrapped in the insect swarm, "Is that old woman Elder Yu you mentioned?"

Gu Manzhi nodded, "That’s right, she’s from the South Wasteland Gu God Sect."

"That white-haired member of the Demon Clan was likely arranged by the Princely Heir... Strange, why are they fighting?"

Chen Mo was a bit puzzled.

Both of them clearly came for him.

But before he arrived, they had already started fighting—a baffling situation.

Boom—

The swarm of insects clashed with the Demon Energy.

As the Demon Energy eroded them, countless insects fell like raindrops, but even more surged from Yu Jie’s robe sleeves, seemingly endless.

"What do you want with me? Why are you after me?!"

Yu Jie’s face was exceedingly grim.

This member of the Demon Clan appeared out of nowhere, acting without provocation, with formidable strength too.

The Gu God Sect’s Cultivation Technique was not suited for direct confrontation, with the Gu Poison Worms suppressed by Demon Energy, leaving her firmly held in check, unable to break free.

Jue Ling’s eyes were icy, filled with killing intent.

He had already received the Princely Heir’s message: Chen Mo would be leaving Tiandu City on the Imperial Music Bureau’s Flower Boat, reaching Yushu Port, where the Canglan River converged.

That was the best place to make a move!

However, at this decisive moment, a mysterious Magician appeared along the crucial path... How could it be a coincidence?

Clearly, the other’s goal aligned with his—

They had come for the Dragon Qi!

"After the Black Python died, I checked the earth vein. The Dragon Qi hadn’t dispersed; instead, it vanished into thin air—it most likely lies dormant within Chen Mo!"

"We must take him back to the Desolate Domain and offer him to our overlord!"

"He who obstructs me shall die!"

Jue Ling’s gaze burned like a blaze, the word "self" glowing ominously, leaving Yu Jie feeling as if she were sinking into a mire, her movements unbearably slow.

At the same time, a slender finger rapidly expanded in her view.

Boom—

The finger struck her brow, unleashing a torrent of Demon Energy that blasted Yu Jie into the ground!

Her entire body was embedded in the earth, with blood streaming from every orifice, a gruesome sight, yet her mouth held a sinister smile.

Jue Ling suddenly sensed something was wrong, seeing a bloody wound on his fingertip, his entire finger turning black, with the darkness swiftly spreading, soon consuming the entire hand!

A sense of powerlessness overwhelmed him, his strength rapidly draining away!

"Cough, cough!"

Yu Jie coughed up blood clots, speaking in a sinister voice, "With my Seven Absolute Gu, no matter how powerful you are, you won’t last an hour—it’s not too late to beg for mercy now..."

Before she could finish, the Demon Energy converged into a spear, thrusting towards her!

Yu Jie cursed internally, her body flickered, instantly creating distance of several miles, yet the Demon Energy Spear pursued relentlessly, closing in with every moment!

"Shout!"

She formed a spell with her hand, unleashing countless Gu Poison Worms to erode the Demon Energy Spear.

Simultaneously, she glimpsed Gu Manzhi and Ye Henshui in the distance, her eyes turning as she shouted, "This member of the Demon Clan is extremely powerful, Holy Daughter, quickly take Chen Mo and leave!"

Having said that, she fled without looking back.

Hearing Chen Mo’s name, Jue Ling abruptly turned, spotting the familiar face.

He couldn’t afford to keep fighting the old woman, so the Demon Energy gathered into a massive hand, reaching out towards Chen Mo!

"Here it comes!"

Chen Mo’s eyes shone with golden light, unyielding. The Broken Jade Blade hanging at his waist rang loudly, releasing Sword Qi at its peak!

The night was torn apart, the Galaxy pulled back, engulfing Jue Ling in an instant!

On the other side, after causing chaos, Yu Jie transformed into a stream of light, fleeing.

"There’s a member of the Demon Clan near Tiandu City? And so powerful too!"

"He seems to be after Chen Mo as well... Damn, how many people has this kid offended?!"

"Gu Manzhi’s fate is irrelevant to me; better to leave this trouble-filled place soon. If I draw the attention of a city Grandmaster, escape will be near impossible!"

Suddenly, Yu Jie felt her hair standing on end, an inexplicable sense of danger arising within.

Instinctively, she turned to her side—

Swish!

The blade flashed by, a spray of blood nearly severing half her body!

Yu Jie turned back, horrified, seeing a burly figure emerging from the darkness, a cold blade in hand.

"Is it you planning to poison my young master?"

Cen Long’s voice was low, carrying chilling killing intent!
