Chapter 875: Gaining Ground
Chapter 875: Gaining an Inch, Advancing a Ruler
Yan Yu’s heart stuttered, in the name of the Devil God’s oath, is not said to be destroyed?
For the sake of a demon king’s corpse to easily break the contract, it is too unwise.
It’s just that the Dark Night Demon King is dead, and according to the previously agreed upon conditions, this entire Dark Night City is hers.
There was no need to have a disagreement over this small matter.
With this in mind, Yan Yu regained her composure and apologized.
“I was the one who thought wrongly, the corpse of the Dark Night Demon King should have belonged to Fellow Daoist Xu, I hope that Fellow Daoist Xu will not be concerned about what I said just now.”
Xu Chuniang was satisfied, “Fellow Daoist Yan is indeed refreshing, according to the agreement, you can take the Dark Night Demon King’s mustard space and divine soul.”
Yan Yu did not say any more, and directly made his move to take away the mustard space, and took out the Dark Night Demon King’s divine soul.
After being scorched by the Red Lotus Karmic Flame for a day and night, the Dark Night Demon King’s divine soul was very weak.
He desperately resisted, but could not break free from the red flames.
Instead, due to his struggles, every time his divine soul hit the red flame, it was burned to a smaller size.
Yan Yu shook his head, revealing a look of heartache as he took out a porcelain bottle that had already been prepared and sent the Dark Night Demon King’s divine soul into the bottle to seal it.
This divine soul, she was planning to use it to refine puppets, if the soul power was lost too much, the effect would be discounted.
Seeing that Yan Yu had already taken away the mustard seed space and the divine soul, Xu Chuniang nonchalantly collected the Dark Night Demon King’s corpse.
The corpse of a Demon King in the middle stage of Harmonization, this was a good thing, after refining it, her cultivation should be able to go to the next level, right?
Yan Yu looked at Xu Chuniang, “What is Fellow Daoist Xu’s next plan, are you going to return to Yellow Sand City or find another way out?”
Xu Chunniang smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, appearing somewhat harmless.
“Return to what Yellow Sand City? I plan on staying right here.”
A bad premonition arose in Yan Yu’s heart, “Stay here? Not so good.”
“I think it’s quite good.”
Xu Chuniang analyzed in a serious manner, “Although Dark Night City has been saved, after this battle, the cultivators in the city have been sharply reduced and lost a lot of strength.
With me here, if there is a strong enemy coming to attack, I will be able to help Fellow Daoist Yan share a bit of the burden.”
Yan Yu wanted to speak but stopped, that familiar feeling of heart attack, came again.
She gently exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and slowly said, “Fellow Daoist Xu has a heart, but I have my own way of guarding Dark Night City.”
“It’s not right, it’s not right, leaving Fellow Daoist Yan here alone, I really don’t feel at ease.”
Xu Chuniang shook her head with a righteous face, “Moreover, I’m not familiar with the Demon Realm, it’s better to stay here and take care of each other.”
Yan Yu forcefully laughed, “Fellow Daoist Xu is really joking, with your ability, where do you need me to take care of you?”
“That’s why it’s all the more reason for me to stay and take care of fellow Daoist Yan. Anyway, the essence blood I left behind in Huangsha City has already been burned, so why bother making another trip back?”
Looking at the other party’s revitalized appearance, Yan Yu’s eyelids jumped.
“Alright, Fellow Daoist Xu is so gracious, if I push back again, it would be my fault instead.”
“Actually, I’m staying because I want to break through my cultivation as soon as possible, so as not to pull Fellow Daoist Yan’s leg.”
Xu Chuniang smiled and solemnly assured.
“Fellow Daoist, don’t worry, I only need a place to cultivate where I can stay, I will never interfere with you, much less compete with you for the position of Demon King.”
That foreboding feeling of uncertainty in Yan Yu’s heart grew stronger, “The place of cultivation you want, where do you mean?”
Xu Chuniang looked around, “I see that this place is spacious enough, fellow Daoist Yan can’t use such a large place by himself, so why don’t you share half of it with me.”
“No way!”
Noticing that his tone was too hasty, Yan Yu paused and politely reminded.
“In some time, the news that I have replaced the Dark Night Demon King will become known.
This is the Demon King’s place of cultivation, and even though I have some personal ties with Fellow Daoist Xu, I can’t give this place away, or else what remains of my majesty as the new Demon King?” “That’s a simple question, just don’t tell anyone else, won’t that do?”
Xu Chuniang had long guessed that Yan Yu would use this reason to reject herself, the smile on her face unchanged.
“It can be hidden for a while, but not for a lifetime.”
Yan Yu shook his head, “How about this, I’ll find you another place to cultivate, and guarantee your satisfaction.”
Xu Chuniang clasped her arms in a fist, a smile at the corner of her mouth.
“I wonder what the other few Harmonization Stage Daemons would think if they knew that the Dark Night Demon King was removed by the combined efforts of the two of us?”
Yan Yu’s expression finally went cold, “You threaten me?”
“I don’t dare, just discussing with fellow Daoist Yan.”
Xu Chuniang sighed quietly, “Obviously the Dark Night Demon King was killed by the two of us together, but afterward, Fellow Daoist Yan enjoyed the entire Dark Night City, while I only got a corpse, it’s really unfair.”
Yan Yu was simply going to be infuriated, she endured the pain of giving up the Dark Night Demon King’s corpse, the other party actually thought it wasn’t enough, and got the better of her, hitting her with the idea.
In order to seize Dark Night City, she had been planning for many years and had paid many prices.
But Xu Chuniang, she didn’t put in much effort, but her appetite was not small.
Yan Yu said in a cold voice, “Dark Night City belongs to me, and that was originally the stated condition.”
“Not bad, I have no intention of competing with fellow Daoist Yan, I just want a secluded place to cultivate, the stronger I am, the more help I can provide for fellow Daoist.”
Xu Chuniang blinked, “Fellow Daoist but you said that you would do your best to help me become a Demon King, it can’t be a joke, right?”
“Of course it’s not a joke.”
“I also believe that Fellow Daoist Yan, truly hopes that I can become a Demon King soon and gain the recognition of Lord Demon Emperor, right?”
With the words at this point, Yan Yu finally realized that he had ridden the tiger.
She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there were no more waves in them.
“This place can let you have half of it, but there’s one thing I want you to keep in mind, Dark Night City is mine, you’re only borrowing it temporarily.”
“This is natural.”
Xu Chuniang raised her eyebrows slightly, “I’ll bear this in mind as Fellow Daoist Yan is highly righteous.”
Yan Yu was not in the mood to say much, and after using the formation to split this piece of Palace Yu into two halves, his figure disappeared behind the formation.
“Fellow Daoist Yan looks as if he is a little less than happy.”
Xu Chuniang retracted her gaze and smiled pleasantly as she felt the dense demonic aura around her.
This place, the very center of the King City, was also the place where the demonic aura was the purest.
With such a good place to cultivate, why would she need to go elsewhere and waste her time?
Xu Chuniang let out a low laugh, took out her dan furnace, and began to refine the corpse of the Dark Night Demon King.
The Dark Night Demon King was worthy of being a great demon in the middle stage of merging, and the demonic qi contained within his body was astonishing.
Due to the toughness of his demonic body, the speed of refining was also quite slow.
Seven days had passed and only managed to refine a few fingers.
These few fingers were less than a hundred and one compared to the Dark Night Demon King’s massive demonic body.
To completely refine the demonic body, it would take at least a year.
Just as he was about to continue refining the remaining demonic body, there was suddenly a muffled thunderclap coming from above.
Xu Chuniang seemed to sense something and looked towards the top of her head.
Her eyes, as if through this roof, saw the robbing thunder outside.
