Chapter 917 The Challenge (Previous)
After leaving Dark Night City, the Scorpion Woman recalled what her lord had said in the temple, and her heart grew a little worried.
It turned out that His Excellency’s goal was the Spirit Demon Island.
She thought that her strength was not weak, but the candidates to enter Spirit Demon Island were selected from a group of Demon Kings.
No matter how confident the Scorpion Woman was, she didn’t dare to guarantee that she would be able to stand out from the crowd of Demon Kings and gain the Demon Emperor’s appreciation.
“My lord, the matter of Spirit Demon Island has a great deal at stake, my strength is sparse and ordinary, what should I do if I jeopardize my lord’s plans?”
“No matter, as long as you remove your other opponents in advance, naturally no one will be able to beat you. You only need to show your strength in the competition two years later.”
The Scorpioness was taken aback, what the lord meant, it couldn’t be what she thought, could it?
“Does your lordship want to go after the other Demon Kings? If we make it too obvious, will it anger Lord Demon Emperor?”
“And don’t worry, the life and death of some Demon Kings will not be on the Demon Emperor’s mind at all.”
Xu Chuniang looked indifferent, “And with them dead, the only one who has the strength to go to Spirit Demon Island is you, so even if the Demon Emperor has a little bit of worry in his heart, he still has to hold it in.
After all, he is still counting on you to go to Spirit Demon Island and bring back the treasures.”
“I know, my lord.”
The Scorpioness quietly swallowed, always feeling that between her lord’s words, there was no intention of respecting the Demon Emperor.
“Each Demon Emperor only has one push quota, I have some issues with the Age Heaven Demon Emperor, and as for the Blood Moon Demon Emperor’s side, it was also ceded to Dark Night City.”
Speaking here, Xu Chuniang made a slight pause, “The only one left to fight for is the Dead Bone Demon Emperor.
I’ve heard that the Dead Bone Demon Emperor has a number of kingdoms under his command, so if you move earlier, you can spar with those Demon Kings and take the opportunity to sharpen your skills.”
“Yes, my lord.”
The Scorpion Woman’s face revealed a slightly uplifted look, most of the time during these three hundred years, she had been in closed-door cultivation.
Only when she was really bored would she run to the Demon Abyss and look for some demonic beasts to fight, and it was true that she didn’t have much experience in fighting other cultivators.
She also wanted to find an opportunity to test it out, to see her own strength, to what extent.
Three days later, the two of them stepped into the first royal city under the jurisdiction of the Dead Bone Demon Emperor, Underworld Heart City.
The Demon King of this Underworld Heart City was a great demon in the middle stage of Harmonization.
Underworld Heart came out of nowhere thirty years ago and challenged the previous Demon King, killing him in one fell swoop and becoming the new Demon King, continuing to this day.
Xu Chuniang swept her eyes over the city below, “First place, let’s start with this Underworld Heart Demon King.”
“Yes.”
The Scorpioness understood and flew towards the city below, and with a wave of her right hand, a strong wind flew from her sleeve and slapped into the pool of blood.
In an instant, countless amounts of essence blood boiled up in the blood pool, splashing against the Ten Thousand Devils Monument with a loud sound.
The cultivators in the city were shocked by this sudden change, and then they reacted to the fact that someone had come to challenge Lord Demon King!
After the Hades Heart Demon King had powerfully beheaded the previous Demon King, he had been sitting steadily on the Demon King’s throne, and this was the first time in the past thirty years that someone wanted to challenge him.
The eyes of the cultivators in the city became frenzied, their gazes quickly locking onto the Scorpion Woman in the air.
Would the Underworld Heart City, which had been stable for thirty years, usher in an even stronger Lord Demon King today?
The Scorpioness had made a huge commotion that was known to all the cultivators in the city, and it was naturally impossible for the Demon King of Underworld Heart not to know about it.
He stepped out from the royal palace, and his gaze landed on Granny Scorpion’s body.
“It’s you, who wants to challenge my position as Demon King?”
“Not bad.”
The Scorpion Woman met Hei Xin’s gaze, her face fearless.
After hundreds of years of bitter cultivation, this was not what it used to be, she was no longer the weak little cultivator she was back then.
“Very well.”
Hei Xin smiled, a bloodthirsty light flowing from his eyes.
The cultivation resources that were sent to the door, not for nothing. He took the lead and flew towards the outside of the city, “Since that’s the case, then you should follow me.”
With the strength of the two of them, if they made a move near the city, the aftermath of the battle would cause a huge impact on the cultivators in the city.
The Scorpioness followed in silence, right behind her.
Several Demon Generals glanced at each other and chose to follow.
As for the other low-ranked cultivators in the city, most of those who were shy about their lives did not follow.
They were very self-aware, the battle of a Harmonization Stage Daemon was simply not something that people like them could watch.
Only a small portion of those who were not afraid of death, or those who relied on their special aptitude to be able to preserve their lives in the battle of the great devils, followed far behind from a distant distance.
“Just stay here.”
After flying for half a day, Hei Xin stopped at the top of a barren land, his expression indifferent.
Thirty years ago, it was here that he killed the previous Demon King and took over the King City.
“It can be.”
The Scorpion Woman swept a glance, confirming that there was nothing wrong, and directly launched an attack towards Underworld Heart.
“Still quite anxious.”
Underworld Heart snorted lightly, advancing instead of retreating and fighting with the Scorpion Woman.
A few demon generals watching the battle from afar watched for a while, seeing that the Scorpion Woman’s moves were mediocre and she quickly lost the wind, and set up a betting game to see what was going on.
“I’m betting ten pieces of extreme magic crystals that the king will win.”
“I’ll call for ten, and also bet that the king will win.”
The last demon general was a bit embarrassed and gritted his teeth, “I’ll bet thirty pieces, all on the king.”
“No way!”
The first two Demon Generals who had placed their bets glared at him, “The three of us all placed our bets on Wang Shang to win, you can’t bet on Wang Shang.”
“Why not, just because you guys said it earlier?”
The last Demon General was not happy, although that challenger was not weak, and even had a late stage of Harmonization cultivation.
However, a clear-eyed person could tell that she was not as good as the king, and it was only a matter of time before she would lose.
“Since you all bet on the Underworld Heart Demon King, why don’t you count me in, I’ll press her.”
Xu Chuniang took a step towards the three of them, pointing at the Scorpion Woman who was caught in a bitter battle.
The Scorpion Granny’s foundation was solid, and the reason why she was temporarily at a disadvantage now was due to her lack of experience in fighting people.
When she adapted to the intensity of the battle, she would naturally be able to turn defeat into victory.
The three of them were startled and looked towards the visitor warily, then exchanged a glance at each other.
The fact that the visitor was able to approach them silently was enough to prove that his cultivation was definitely above the three.
Xu Chuniang looked towards the three, ignoring the exchange of frowns between them.
“What, no?”
A Demon General with the highest cultivation level settled his mind and looked at Xu Chuniang, “Of course it’s fine, how much are you pressing?”
“Just press, fifty pieces of extreme magic crystals.”
She didn’t have any Extreme Grade Demon Crystals in her hands, but with a cultivation level of Mahayana, she could refine almost as many by spending a little bit of time.
“Okay.”
Although she didn’t know what this person’s connection to the challenger was, there was naturally no reason to refuse the magic crystals that were sent to her door.
The three Demon Generals simply agreed, taking out a piece of magical beast skin and writing down the bet and wager before writing down their respective names before handing the magical beast skin to Xu Chuniang.
“This is the beast skin of the Xuanqi Beast, which possesses the power of a contract on it and has a certain binding effect.”
