Chapter 920 – Runic Order in Hand
Chapter 920 – Runic Order in Hand
It was only after a long time that someone was bold enough to accuse the Scorpion Woman who stood at the very front.
“Lord Devil Emperor Mingjian, this woman within two years even picked thirteen city lords, killed a number of devil king but refused to take over the seat of the devil king.
We mediocre people know that our abilities are insufficient, but other than taking over, there is no other way ……”
The Dead Bone Demon Emperor paused slightly, swept his eyes at the Scorpion Woman, and narrowed his eyes.
“Oh? I didn’t even know that there was such a marvelous talent under my command. What he said just now, is it true?”
As his words fell, an invisible pressure pounced towards the Scorpion Lady.
The Scorpion Lady’s face changed, and her figure faltered.
Her bones clattered all over her body, but she managed to stabilize her body with great difficulty and bowed towards the Bone Demon Emperor.
“Reporting back to Lord Demon Emperor, this is indeed true, but I have only frequently challenged the major Demon Kings in order to refine my cultivation.”
The Deadly Bone Demon Emperor coldly glanced at her until the Scorpion Woman’s face completely lost its blood color and nearly fell over, before slowly withdrawing his mighty pressure.
Even though he disliked Scorpion Lady to the extreme, he had to admit that she was the one with the highest cultivation amongst all the Demon Kings in the hall.
To be able to hold out under his mighty pressure for so long, her strength couldn’t be any weaker.
The Spirit Demon Island line would still need her.
Killing her now would be meaningless except for venting some anger.
The Dead Bone Demon King quickly regained his senses, but he didn’t want to see this group of trash again.
“All roll.”
The dozen or so Demon Kings didn’t dare to have any objections for fear of touching Lord Demon Emperor’s mold, and hurriedly left the great hall.
The Scorpion Lady returned to the post and reported to Xu Chuniang about today’s events.
“Together as expected by Your Excellency, Lord Demon Emperor was angry, but didn’t chastise me, and shouldn’t pursue the matter any further.”
Xu Chuniang was satisfied, “Are you sure about tomorrow’s election?”
“Of course.”
A look of confidence appeared on the Scorpion Lady’s face, during these two years, she had experienced one or two dozen life and death battles.
Even if her qualifications were poor, it wasn’t as if she hadn’t made any progress at all.
What’s more, those opponents of hers were not even on the same level of strength as her.
“So very good.”
Xu Chuniang smiled in relief, “I won’t be there for tomorrow’s election, prepare yourself well, I’ll wait for your good news.”
“Yes, my lord please also rest assured, I will never let you down.”
Although the Scorpion Lady had long since decided that she would be the victor, she would not let her guard down and underestimate any of her opponents because of this.
After seeing the Scorpioness leave, the Vermilion Bunting on the beams of the room, suddenly called out twice.
It was the Swallow Fish sending a message.
Xu Chuniang beckoned, and the vermilion bunting flew down from the beam and landed on her hand.
“Fellow Daoist Xu, the great election is approaching, so don’t make any mistakes. When we enter Spirit Demon Island, remember to keep the Vermilion Bunting by your side at all times, so that it’s convenient for you and I to send messages.”
Xu Chuniang tugged lightly at the corners of her mouth, Yan Yu purposely asked her to bring along the Vermilion Bunting, whether it was convenient for the two of them to transmit messages, or whether it was convenient for Yan Yu to take control of her position, it was unknown.
“I see, just rest assured, fellow Daoist Yan, when we go to Spirit Demon Island, I hope that fellow Daoist Yan will not sell out again.
Exactly what must be done to leave the Demon Realm, when the time comes, please ask Fellow Daoist Yan to make it clear.”
Yan Yu’s reply was quick, “Fellow Daoist Xu need not worry too much, what I promised you, I have never forgotten.”
Xu Chuniang touched the buntings’ feathers with a smile, hoping that what Yan Yu said was true, that on Spirit Demon Island, there was really a passageway back to the Spirit Realm.
Otherwise, she would be angry.
On the second day of the selection meeting, Scorpioness stood out from the crowd of Demon Kings with a dominant advantage, successfully obtaining the qualification to go to Spirit Demon Island. After the selection was over, the Dead Bone Demon Emperor was very upset, but with no one available under his command, it was too late to find someone else temporarily.
Scorpion Woman did have some strength, and was the most suitable candidate at the moment.
Unhappy to be unhappy, in front of the big picture, the dead bone demon emperor is still clear.
As soon as the selection meeting was over, he summoned the Scorpion Woman and gave her two things.
“This is a voucher to enter Spirit Demon Island, and a map of Spirit Demon Island that has been explored.”
“Thank you, Lord Demon Emperor, for the reward.”
The Scorpion Lady looked respectful and made enough gestures to finally make the Dead Bone Demon Emperor feel better in his heart.
“Do you know the origin of Spirit Demon Island?”
“It is said that Spirit Demon Island is the place where the Spirit Realm and the Demon Realm meet, and there is neither Spirit Qi nor Demon Qi on the island, there is only the Fateful Qi that cannot be absorbed by people.”
Scorpioness said while recalling the rumors she had heard in the past.
“Regardless of whether one is a devil cultivator or a spirit cultivator, they will lose their cultivation on Spirit Demon Island and become like mortals.
One must be at least at the Harmonization stage of cultivation to be qualified to enter Spirit Demon Island, or else they will die from bursting their bodies because they can’t withstand the fury of the island.”
“Not bad, Spirit Demon Island is very special, and the terrain and climate of the island are always in a state of flux, making it very dangerous.”
The Dead Bone Demon Emperor’s eyes moved slightly, “So you must remember to be careful, and under the premise of preserving your life, collect the island’s secret treasures for me as much as possible.
Especially the legendary chance to become a True Demon, got it?”
“I know, I will definitely do my best to achieve what Lord Demon Emperor wishes.”
After the Dead Bone Demon Emperor probed out his demonic thoughts and confirmed that the brand he had left in the Scorpion Lady’s divine soul was correct, he took out a demonic artifact with an extraordinary aura and several life-preserving items and handed them to her.
“This bow is a reward for you, I hope you can return from Spirit Demon Island alive, go down.”
“Yes, thank you Lord Demon Emperor for the reward.”
Only after the Scorpion Woman had received the reward and saluted did she exit the great hall and return to the stage.
“My lord, the Demon Emperor has already handed me the credentials to enter Spirit Demon Island, and the map of Spirit Demon Island, in addition to that, he also gave me a bow, and several life-saving items.”
Saying that, she took out the several things she had just obtained one by one.
Xu Chuniang’s gaze went to the Scorpion Woman’s hand, the palm-sized talismanic order.
This talismanic order was half-black and half-white, and its entire body presented a mysterious aura, precisely the credentials for entering Spirit Demon Island.
It was special, made of some unknown substance, without a single trace of artificial sculpting, and it was all natural.
This talisman order was already bound to the Scorpion Woman’s divine soul, and no one could snatch it away.
After looking at the talismanic order, Xu Chuniang’s gaze landed on the pure black bow, and she couldn’t help but light up.
“Good bow!”
The Dead Bone Demon Emperor had really gone big this time, and this bow, surprisingly, was a Mahayana level demonic artifact, on the same tier as the Soul Suppressor Pot.
“If Your Excellency likes it, this bow will be offered to Your Excellency.”
Xu Chuniang lost her smile, “What do I need this bow for, this is the Dead Bone Demon Emperor’s reward for your defense, just take it.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Scorpioness put away the talismanic order and the bow, “When do we set out?”
Xu Chuniang pondered slightly, “There are still twenty years until Spirit Demon Island officially opens.
According to the usual practice, you will have to rendezvous with the remaining two participants from the Demon Cloud Continent before rushing to the Yin Yuan Continent together.”
The Scorpioness nodded, “Then let’s rush to the border first and rendezvous with the other two.”
