At that moment, a crisp scream was heard. A black figure was shot out from somewhere and fell heavily on the ground. It was the black-robed girl.
Liu Ming's expression changed. The purple light around the black-robed girl's body was dim and her purple hair was messy. She was clearly at the end of her tether.
A thick bone spear had pierced through her shoulder and blood was gushing out.
The black-robed girl's purple bow had fallen not far away. The purple cauldron was also weak and emitting a faint purple light to protect the black-robed girl. However, it was clearly useless.
With a strange laugh, the crimson skeleton pounced at the black-robed girl in a flash. Four to five blood-colored bone spears that were about ten feet long pierced through the air toward the black-robed girl, who was already unable to move. It was obvious that the skeleton wanted to kill her with one strike.
There was a flash of determination in the black-robed girl's eyes. Just when she was about to move, a figure flashed in front of her. It was Liu Ming who stood in front of her.
There was a flash of black light and a series of muffled sounds. The blood spears that were flying toward her were broken.
There was a flash of red light in the crimson skeleton's eye sockets. It seemed to be surprised and stopped moving.
"It's you …" the crimson skeleton said softly.
It then turned its head to the side and saw a silver-armored skeleton with its head separated from its body lying quietly on the ground.
The black-robed girl also saw the silver-armored skeleton's death and looked at Liu Ming with a strange look in her eyes.
"Hehe! You're so useless. You were killed by a demon in the middle stage of Celestial Cultivation! "The crimson skeleton sneered and looked at Liu Ming and the black-robed girl.
"It's good that you're dead. These two are mine now. I'll devour your bones as well." The crimson skeleton grinned and its body shone brightly. It pounced at Liu Ming.
"Stupid!" Liu Ming sneered and waved his hands. The twelve Pearls of Mountain and River appeared again.
The blood-colored skeleton was stunned. The powerful spiritual pressure emitted by the 12 Mountain River Pearls, especially the three Dongtian Mountain River Pearls, made it feel slightly fearful, causing it to pause.
Liu Ming waved his hands, and the twelve Beads of Mountains and Rivers shone brightly. The brown cloud appeared again, and instantly enveloped the blood-red skeleton. Liu Ming himself also flew into the cloud.
The black-robed girl looked at the yellow cloud in front of her and a light flashed in her eyes. She struggled to sit up and pulled out the bone spear from her shoulder. Then, she took out a few pills and swallowed them.
A moment later, her complexion looked a little better.
At that moment, a figure flew out from the yellow cloud not far away. It was Liu Ming.
The cloud dissipated with a loud bang, turning back into the twelve Beads of Mountains and Rivers and flying into Liu Ming's sleeve.
The blood-colored skeleton, which was initially aggressive, was just like the silver-armored skeleton on the other side. It was beheaded and lying on the ground, without any signs of life.
The consecutive fierce battles had caused Liu Ming's face to look a little pale. He took out an elixir and swallowed it. He took a glance at the black-robed girl and shifted his gaze to the body of the blood-colored skeleton.
The black-robed girl's eyes flickered, and the corner of her mouth moved slightly. However, she didn't say anything in the end.
Liu Ming waved his hand and released a black aura. He kept the two Mystic Opening Realm corpses, the blood-colored skeleton and the silver-armored skeleton. Especially the pair of white daggers that the arms of the silver-armored skeleton had transformed into. The daggers were extremely powerful and were obviously not ordinary treasures. He would study them when he had the time in the future.
At that moment, a black shadow flashed on his body, and Mo Tian's figure appeared.
"Not bad. Two Mystic Opening Realm Demon Corpses. Their original bodies must be extraordinary. They must be the elites of the Ancient Demon Clan! With these, I am confident that I can condense more than half of the demon body. "Mo Tian couldn't help but reveal a joyful expression.
"Since that is the case, I hope that Senior will not forget about the previous promise." Liu Ming spoke indifferently and looked around the altar.
The two Mystic Opening Realm Demon Corpses might have been killed by Liu Ming, but the giant bone cage that enveloped the entire hall was still there.
The black-robed girl obviously noticed the situation and knew that she couldn't break out of the bone cage to escape. She simply sat cross-legged on the ground. There was no expression on her beautiful face, and her pair of black and bright eyes looked at Liu Ming.
Liu Ming walked slowly to the black-robed girl and stood still.
The black-robed girl looked straight at Liu Ming, and the two of them didn't speak for a moment.
Mo Tian's eyes flashed with a trace of undetectable strangeness. His figure flashed and appeared in front of the young lady. He slowly said, "You are the princess of the Central Empire, right? You don't have to be afraid. We didn't capture you to take your life. There is a reason for this."
Mo Tian spoke until this point and turned his head to look at Liu Ming. When he saw that Liu Ming didn't have any expression, he let out a mischievous laugh and continued.
"In fact, we have some misunderstandings with the Central Empire. We are worried that your Huangfu Clan will take the opportunity to take revenge. In order for this trip to the mystic domain to be successful, we have no choice but to inconvenience Your Highness. Once this matter is settled, we will naturally let you go … "
"There is no need to resort to insinuations. Since things have come to this, why do you have to say such hypocritical words?" The black-robed girl didn't wait for Mo Tian to finish and interrupted him with a cold voice.
"I wonder what Your Highness means?" Mo Tian asked indifferently.
"You were discussing in a grotto-heaven about using me as a sacrifice. I have already heard it." The black-robed girl sneered and replied.
Mo Tian's face darkened as he sized up the black-robed girl. His eyes stopped at her ears for a moment before a trace of understanding appeared in his eyes.
"So that's the case. You actually possess the Truth Listener talent that is hard to come by in 10,000 years. Tsk tsk, you are truly fortunate." Mo Tian muttered to himself.
"Truth Listener talent?" Liu Ming, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"The so-called Truth Listener is actually an extremely rare and special innate ability of the Devil Race. Those who possess this ability will have extremely sensitive hearing. Even if there is a soundproof restriction, they will still be able to hear the voices inside and even the contents of the transmitted message. "Mo Tian took a glance at Liu Ming and explained indifferently.
Liu Ming was startled when he heard the explanation. He took a glance at the black-robed girl while his eyes flickered.
"It is said that this Truth Listener talent has other miraculous effects. It is rumored that when this talent is cultivated to the highest realm, one's ears will be able to listen to all sounds. They will even be able to hear the thoughts of others." Mo Tian stared at the black-robed girl and continued to explain.
Although Mo Tian didn't continue speaking, Liu Ming's heart was rather shaken. This black-robed young lady must have cultivated this innate talent to a decent level. Therefore, she was able to hear the conversation between the two of them when she was unconscious.
When he thought of this, there was a slight change in the way he looked at the black-robed girl. However, he didn't reveal any strange expression on his face.
"Since this girl has seen through our plans, let's imprison her to prevent any more trouble. When we need her, we can just use her as a blood sacrifice. "Mo Tian's tone suddenly turned awe-inspiring.
Liu Ming nodded and raised his hand. There was a flash of yellow light in his palm, and a misty yellow translucent pearl appeared. It was the Mountain and River Pearl.
Seeing that Liu Ming was about to make a move, the young girl's beautiful eyes flickered a few times. However, she said something to Liu Ming that made Mo Tian frown.
"I didn't expect such a shrewd person to actually listen to the words of a Mo Soul. Be careful not to be betrayed and still count money for others!"
The black-robed girl's voice wasn't loud, but Liu Ming's eyes narrowed when he heard it.
Jiang Yi already had some doubts about Mo Tian's actions. He might have been keeping his guard up in the dark, but he wasn't able to find any concrete evidence. After all, Mo Tian had done plenty of things that were beneficial to Jiang Yi.
However, after hearing the black-robed girl's words, it seemed like she knew something. He couldn't help but be skeptical.
"Liu brat, don't believe this girl's nonsense. She is obviously trying to drive a wedge between us. Don't fall for it so easily!" Mo Tian's eyes flashed with a strange light as he berated with a stern voice.
"There's no hurry. Let's hear what she has to say first." Liu Ming acted as though he didn't hear Mo Tian's words. He stopped what he was doing and spoke calmly.
"If you don't have any intentions towards him, why did you fuse a portion of your divine soul power and bloodline power into his body? I think you are obviously waiting for the right time to seize control of his physical body, right? "The black-robed girl turned around and looked at Mo Tian while sneering.
"A bunch of nonsense!" Mo Tian denied immediately.
"What evidence do you have to say all these?" Liu Ming looked at the black-robed girl and asked without any expression.
"If you don't believe me, then feel free to imprison me. When I'm at death's door, you can see if I'm speaking nonsense or not." The black-robed girl puffed out her chest and spoke without any fear.
"Continue speaking. If what you say is the truth, I can let you go." Liu Ming spoke indifferently. He flipped his hand and kept the Mountain River Pearl.
"You …" Mo Tian's face flashed with anger when he saw this, but he immediately became uncertain.
With his understanding of Liu Ming, it would be futile for him to say anything else since Liu Ming had already said so.
"If this Queen remembers correctly, this Mo Hun said that he needs this Queen's body as a blood sacrifice to break a restriction, right?" The black-robed girl looked at Liu Ming and said.
"That's right." Since things had come to this, Liu Ming naturally didn't hide anything.
Mo Tian stared at the girl without moving his eyes and didn't say anything.
"In fact, what he wants is a secret treasure in the Devil Abyss Tower in the inner abyss, the Turbid Heaven Mirror, right?" The black-robed girl continued.
When Liu Ming heard the name 'Turbid Heaven Mirror,' there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. He immediately thought of Mo Tian's grotto-heaven artifact, the Turbid Heaven Tablet.
If what the black-robed girl said was true, the two should be related in some way.
When he thought of this, he glanced at Mo Tian with the corner of his eyes. When he saw that Mo Tian had an indifferent expression and didn't deny it, he had some guesses in his heart. His eyes flickered as he muttered to himself.
"Inner abyss, Devil Abyss Tower …"
The Jade Slips on the map given by Mo Tian didn't mention these two places.
