Chapter 851 – News from the City
After a little thought, Xu Chuniang regretfully dropped the idea.
Not every Demon King, has an heir.
Moreover, the heirs of Demon Kings generally resided in the depths of the royal palace, so even if she wanted to make a move, she wouldn’t be able to find the opportunity.
After putting the corpses of a few people into the furnace, Xu Chuniang sacrificed the Underworld Fire and burned them without any distractions.
As for the magic materials and magic crystals, they were put away by her.
In order to ensure everything was safe, she had used up quite a few precious materials when she set up the formation, and these magic materials could just make up for some of the losses.
And the usefulness of the magic crystals was even more needless to say.
Although the lower-grade magic crystals were already useless to her, the middle-grade magic crystals, not only could they be used directly for cultivation, but they could also quickly replenish her magic qi.
Unfortunately, what she had scavenged from the mustard space of the three of them were mostly lower-grade magic crystals, and there were only forty or fifty middle-grade magic crystals, but they were better than nothing.
The higher and deeper the cultivation level of these demonic cultivators in their lifetime, the slower the speed of refining would be.
It took a full two months before Xu Chuniang was able to refine all three corpses, transforming them into pure demonic qi and incorporating them into her body.
As for the impurities and turbid substances that even the Underworld Fire couldn’t refine, they were excluded by her.
One day two months later, Xu Chunniang opened her eyes, a ghostly light flashing through them.
She stood up long enough to feel the surging demonic energy beneath her skin, but she was somewhat less than satisfied.
After refining three late stage Refined Void demonic cultivators, she had actually failed to break through to mid stage Refined Void.
It seemed that as her cultivation level rose, the amount of demonic qi needed to advance, also grew more and more.
But it doesn’t matter, when she returns to Yellow Sand City, she’ll just put in some more effort.
Xu Chuniang pinched out a few finger decisons in her hand, quickly dismantling the formation and recycling the formation materials that could still be used.
As the formation was dismantled, Xu Chuniang, who was hidden in the formation, fell into the sight of others.
“Huh? This forest is clearly empty, how did a person suddenly appear?”
Not far outside the forest, there happened to be two cultivators resting once again.
Seeing that a figure had suddenly appeared in the forest, with a might that was above theirs, the two looked at each other and coincidentally retreated backward, showing scorn.
Xu Chuniang heard the commotion, but didn’t bother to turn around.
She had long since discovered the figures of these two men, only that their cultivation was too weak to attract any interest from her, so she simply ignored them.
After the two pulled away, they saw that Xu Chuniang hadn’t chased after them and let out a long sigh of relief.
The two of them were only in the late stage of Spirit Transformation, if they were targeted by the other party, they would inevitably have a bitter battle, and even if they were not good enough, they might lose their lives.
Seeing that human cultivator go in the direction of Huangsha City, the two of them were celebrating when they saw her turn back again.
From the looks of it, it seemed to be rushing towards the two of them.
The two of them were like enemies, and they were about to respond to the battle with their heads held high, when that human female cultivator, whose cultivation was higher than theirs, suddenly stopped.
Xu Chuniang swept past the two, taking in the trepidation on their faces.
“I’ll ask you a few questions, answer them well and I won’t make things difficult for you.”
The two had already prepared for the worst, and instead, they breathed a sigh of relief at the words and respectfully said.
“What does the lord want to ask, just feel free to ask, as long as the little one knows, there is no reason to hide it.”
“Forgive you also dare not lie to me, if you lie to me, I have to spend more effort, soul search to verify that you have not lied.”
Xu Chuniang slowly sized up the two men, and only after seeing them turn white with fear did she ask without much concern.
“When did you guys leave the city?”
“Back to my lord, we left the city yesterday.”
Lest they anger Xu Chuniang, the two of them scrambled to say, “We will encounter magical beasts further north, so we plan to rest here for a while.”
“In these three months, have there been any major events in the city?” The two looked at each other and quickly thought of the biggest thing that had happened recently.
“The king has already ordered that troops be sent out to conquer Dark Night City, and there are less than three months to go before the troops are sent out.”
“The king has ordered that all cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level, must participate in the war! Otherwise they will be driven away from Yellow Sand City!”
The two scratched their ears and scratched their heads, and then remembered the new rule issued by the king, “Near the time of the war, fighting is forbidden in the city, and no one is allowed to kill for no reason.”
Xu Chuniang frowned, “Fighting is forbidden?”
“Yes, now in Huangsha City, all cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level, are not allowed to kill at will, and those who violate this order are openly provoking the king’s authority.”
“There have already been some cultivators who triggered the king’s order and were blatantly executed.”
A demonic cultivator with a bird’s head, carefully gauging Xu Chuniang’s complexion, added.
“Because of the king’s order, the city is quite peaceful nowadays, and we thought to ourselves that it would be idle to be idle, so we planned to go and catch two magical beasts to tame.”
So it turns out.
After killing those three demonic cultivators from Longxu City, Xu Chuniang had been cultivating in the forest.
At first, few people passed by here.
But as time passed, more and more cultivators passed by here.
Especially in these past few days, there were several waves of people passing through here every day, only that none of these passing devil cultivators noticed that there was a formation in the forest.
She thought that something had changed in the city, but she didn’t realize that it was because the Great War was approaching and the Yellow Sand Demon King had ordered a ban on war.
The city is forbidden to fight, she is to go back, can only do nothing to dry wait.
It would be better …… to follow these two people and go to see the devil abyss.
If she was lucky, she might be able to get a substitute magic beast.
With this thought in mind, Xu Chuniang looked at the two men and commanded, “It just so happens that I’m also going to the Devil’s Abyss, lead the way.”
To the north of Huangsha City, there was a Devil’s Abyss, a matter she had heard a little about.
It was only the specific location of the Devil’s Abyss that was unknown.
The two of them looked at each other in dismay, they had clearly seen that she was walking in the direction of the return journey.
How suddenly, changed her mind to go to the Devil’s Abyss, there will not be fraud, right?
Thinking of this, the two couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
The king had ordered that cultivators were prohibited from causing trouble and seeking provocation in the city, but when they left the city, their lives and safety were not guaranteed.
Especially in that place in the Devil’s Abyss, it would be easier to destroy the bodies.
Seeing the two men look hesitant, Xu Chuniang guessed their concerns and hooked her lips with interest.
“Not willing to lead the way?”
The two returned to their senses, both of their bodies trembling.
Although the other party’s words did not contain the slightest hint of threat, somehow, it actually made them unable to give birth to the slightest thought of resistance.
“Willing, we are willing!”
“It’s our honor to serve Your Excellency!”
“Alright, since we are willing, then lead the way.”
Xu Chuniang was originally uninterested in the pitiful bit of demonic qi in their bodies, and after learning of the ban in the city, she extinguished her thoughts of making a move even more.
Around less than three months to go, Yellow Sand City would raise its troops to attack Dark Night City, and when that time came, they would naturally be able to kill a lot of people.
The two devil cultivators complained bitterly in their hearts, but they still had to make a joyful appearance, put up twelve points of spirit, and led the way in front.
