Chapter 916 Departure
Chapter 916 Leave
Phoenix Feather Crow ran away, Xu Chuniang did not take this matter to heart.
It was a moment of negligence, she accidentally imprisoned the Phoenix Feather Crow for hundreds of years, it is lively nature, would not be able to tolerate loneliness, will choose to run away again is normal.
It’s just that by full reckoning, the time she has left in the Demon Realm is only twenty years or so.
If the Phoenix Feather Crow didn’t make it back to her before she entered Spirit Demon Island, it would have to go its separate ways.
Just as well, it was born in the Demon Realm and grew up in the Demon Realm.
Perhaps staying here would be a better choice for the Phoenix Feather Crow.
“Scorpion Woman.”
Scorpion granny woman opened her eyes, a look of surprise flashing across her face, “My lord, you’ve finally come out of the gate!”
The time that my lord had spent in seclusion this time was far too long, a full two hundred years!
Several times, she had even wondered if His Lordship had had an accident while in seclusion.
But out of her trust in Xu Chuniang, such thoughts were suppressed by her just as soon as they appeared.
“Don’t worry, this is the last time, did something big happen while I was in seclusion?”
“In two hundred years of light, there are many great events that have happened, but no matter how turbulent the outside world is, Dark Night City has always stood tall.”
The Scorpion Woman had an excited look on her face, and recounted the great events that had happened during the two hundred years in brief before she said.
“My lord, when you were in seclusion, Dark Night City’s Uza even came to look for you, but I said you were in seclusion and sent him away.”
“I see, we’ve stayed in Dark Night City for many years, it’s time for us to leave. But before we leave, we should say hello to our master.”
Seemingly thinking of something interesting, Xu Chuniang smiled faintly, “Let’s go, you’re with me.”
“Is it to meet the city lord?”
A trace of curiosity rose in the bottom of the Scorpioness’s heart, there were many rumors about the City Lord of Dark Night City.
Some said that he had died long ago, and that the one who was in charge of Dark Night City today was someone else.
Some people say that the Dark Night Demon King is not dead, but instead, because of the disaster, the strength of the rapid progress, in order to make the Dark Night City stand for hundreds of years.
But in reality, few people know that the Dark Night Demon King has long been erased from his mind and refined into a high-level puppet without self-awareness.
“Sort of, her name is Yan Yu, you’ve actually met her a long time ago.”
“Really? Swallowfish, this name is somewhat familiar, it seems like I’ve heard it somewhere.”
A flash of doubt flashed across the Scorpioness’s eyes.
“Previously, when we were in Yellow Sand City, she and a gray wolf once attacked my formation.”
“So it was her!”
The Scorpioness was astonished, somewhat not quite understanding.
She had attacked His Excellency’s formation and was an enemy, not a friend, but listening to His Excellency’s tone, it seemed that she was quite familiar with her?
“That’s her, when you see her, just pretend that you’ve never seen her before.”
Xu Chuniang did not explain much, and after leading the Scorpion Lady out of the side hall, she walked towards the most eye-catching part of the palace in the royal palace.
When the two of them approached, Yan Yu had already sensed it, and opened the formation in the process.
Sitting in the palace, she carelessly swept her eyes over the Scorpioness, who was half a step behind, and looked towards Xu Chuniang.
“You’ve finally come out of seclusion, if you continue to remain in seclusion, I’m going to wonder if you want to go to Spirit Demon Island or not.”
“Legend has it that Spirit Demon Island holds the secret to becoming a True Demon, so if I have the chance, I certainly want to go and see it.”
Xu Chuniang smiled, “I came this time to say goodbye to you, the next time I see you again, it might be on Spirit Demon Island.”
“Finally planning to make a move to seize a royal city?”
Yan Yu raised an eyebrow, “Have you chosen a target, do you need me to help you?”
“No need, it’s not me who will make the move, it’s her.” Saying this, Xu Chuniang pointed at the Scorpion Woman next to her.
“Her?”
Yan Yu frowned, sizing up the Scorpion Lady.
“The cultivation is not bad, becoming a Demon King or possible, it’s just that the qualification to enter Spirit Demon Island is not that easy to get.
Aren’t you afraid that she will die at the hands of another Demon King, and all the years of planning will be lost?”
“She can.”
Xu Chuniang really wasn’t afraid, and for the sake of no surprises, she would bring up doing a little bit of maneuvering to make sure that the Scorpion Woman would be infallibly chosen.
Yan Yu frowned, “You asked her to act on your behalf, could it be that you want to use this method to avoid the Demon Emperor’s demonic thought brand?”
“Not bad, this move is too risky and not good in the end.”
Xu Chuniang dryly admitted, completely letting go of her divine soul and allowing others to leave a brand on it was tantamount to actively sending her life into the hands of others.
There was no way that she would, in any way, accept such a thing.
“I said that I have a way to remove the brand left behind by the Demon Emperor, do you not believe me? I’m never going to risk my own life.”
Yan Yu held back her anger, patiently persuading, “Just endure for a while and wait until we reach the Spirit Demon Island, then we will be able to lift it.
Until then, we are safe, the Demon Emperor is still waiting for us to bring treasures to give out from Spirit Demon Island, and won’t want our lives at all.”
“Then tell me, what exactly is the method that can lift the Demon Emperor’s brand?”
Yan Yu stiffened slightly, this was the method she intended to use to pin down the other party, naturally, she had no intention, right now, to tell Xu Chuniang the method.
“What’s the rush, when the time comes, I will naturally tell you.”
Xu Chuniang smiled gently, “Fellow Daoist Yan is really good at calculating, is she calculating that she will use this method to pin me down later on Spirit Demon Island?”
Yan Yu’s face changed slightly, feigning anger, “Why would Fellow Daoist Xu say such a thing, I think I’ve treated you well, I’ve even given you a share of the city’s Demon Gathering Formation, so how would I intentionally make things difficult for you?
Moreover, if Fellow Daoist Xu doesn’t believe in me, he should believe in me even if he has sworn to do so first, right?”
“Don’t be angry, I’m just saying it off the cuff, Fellow Daoist Yan doesn’t need to get angry. It’s just that I think my mind is made up, and I don’t want to be constrained by others, so please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Yan.”
Yan Yu persuaded a few more sentences, seeing Xu Chuniang’s iron heart, it was not good to persuade her more, she could only suppress the disquiet in her heart.
She was both disgusted that Xu Chuniang did not act according to her plan, and also chagrined that she did not support a truly powerful devil cultivator as she did.
However, supporting others to the throne was too risky in the end, and she would rather do it herself.
“Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, I can’t say anything more, that Ember Bunting I once gave you, it’s still there, right?”
“Still there.”
After all, it was something given by Yan Yu, and fearing that there was something fishy about that bunting, Xu Chuniang had never touched it.
After sealing it, it had been thrown in the corner of the mustard space, gathering dust for hundreds of years.
“When you enter Spirit Demon Island at that time, you’ll bring the Vermilion Bunting with you, and you can send a message to rendezvous with me through it.”
After explaining the efficacy of the Ember Bunting, Yan Yu glanced at the Scorpioness, still somewhat relieved.
“Can she really do it?”
In her plan, Xu Chuniang was an important part, and without her, the success rate would be reduced by one or two percent.
“Don’t worry, the person I chose will naturally be able to work.”
“Alright, I hope you’re true to your word and don’t let me down.”
Yan Yu gave Xu Chuniang a deep look, like an extremely caring ally, “I’ll wait for your good news.”
Xu Chunniang hooked her lips, remembering the dead gray wolf, “See you on Spirit Demon Island.”
