"Is that the perfect demonic human bloodline you spoke of?"
The black-robed woman looked at Murong Qingcheng in the crystal space.
"Indeed, and she cultivates pure demonic power."
The black-robed old man operated his Undying Body as he spoke, recovering his severed right arm. As his flesh wriggled, his right arm instantly grew back. As it appeared, his entire aura dropped. Clearly, the sword strike from Yuan Emperor's projection had destroyed a lot of his cultivation base.
Sizing up the bat wings on Murong Qingcheng's back, the black-robed woman nodded, "She actually awakened the speed talent … not bad, not bad!"
"Great Clan Leader, should we kill them?" The black-robed old man looked at Yuan Emperor's projection and Ye Chen with overflowing killing intent. Just now, he had almost lost his life.
"You don't need to care about this matter. Moreover, you're too careless."
The black-robed woman waved her hand, and a white thread was pulled out of the black-robed old man's body. This thread contained an extremely tyrannical purifying power. Its aura wasn't obvious, so it was hidden in the black-robed old man's body without being discovered.
"Evil Vanquishing Power!"
The black-robed old man was startled. Although this thing wouldn't kill him, it would reduce his cultivation base to a fundamental level, making it impossible for him to recover. Even more frightening was that if this Evil Vanquishing Power suddenly erupted in his weakened state, even if he didn't die, he would suffer a cultivation deviation.
Crack!
The black-robed woman rubbed her fingers, and the silk-like Evil Vanquishing Power was obliterated into nothingness. Her gaze fell on Yuan Emperor's projection and said, "A projection can't have such a powerful battle strength. If my guess is correct, you must've sealed a portion of your Zhen Yuan in that Spirit Accumulation Scroll. Only then would you have the strength to surpass ordinary Life and Death Kings."
"Good insight."
Yuan Emperor's projection faintly smiled.
"I wouldn't dare. At my level, I'm bound to have some insight." Walking out of the void, the black-robed woman stopped a dozen li away, and the black-robed old man followed behind her.
"You're here for this kid's girlfriend." Yuan Emperor could tell from the image that Murong Qingcheng in the crystal space was also a demonic human, and she was a perfect demonic human with a noble bloodline. He thought that Murong Qingcheng was kidnapped by Ye Chen, and then his people chased after her.
"Not bad."
The black-robed woman nodded.
Yuan Emperor's projection smiled and said, "I would rather tear down ten temples than destroy a marriage. This child is so outstanding, he is more than qualified to be your demonic human race's son-in-law. There is no need to kill him and do such a shady thing."
The black-robed woman said, "That's where you're wrong. Before this, I didn't know them. I just didn't want a perfect demonic human bloodline to wander outside and waste a heavenly treasure."
"So it turns out that he saw a good seedling and wanted to get his hands on him." Yuan Emperor's projection suddenly understood.
"Exactly."
"Since that's the case, there's no enmity between you and this child. Not only do you want to steal his girlfriend, you even want to kill him. That's too unreasonable."
Yuan Emperor's projection's eyes flickered with a cold light.
The black-robed old man interrupted, "Killing him is because he killed many of my demonic human clansmen. If we let him go, wouldn't our clansmen have died in vain?"
"Your Demonic Human Clan's dead clansmen were probably not geniuses, but this boy is a peerless genius. Killing him is a waste of God's gift. Moreover, I still need him to do something, so I can't allow you to kill him."
The black-robed woman sneered, "Do you think you can stop me?"
"Most likely not."
Yuan Emperor's projection carefully sized up the black-robed woman, then shook his head.
"If I want to kill him, it's still up to me."
"Perhaps I might not be able to stop you, but you should know that a true Monarch Monarch would have some means to steal the fortune of the world. Unfortunately, even after so many years, I still have some memories of it. I believe I can use you to test its might."
"You're threatening me."
The black-robed woman narrowed her eyes, exuding a dangerous aura.
"It's not a threat, just a warning."
The black-robed woman remained silent, but her aura became more and more dangerous, as if she would attack at any moment to kill Yuan Emperor's projection and Ye Chen.
Hu!
Letting out a breath, the dangerous aura around the black-robed woman dissipated. She said with a faint smile, "Interesting, looks like you've got me for sure."
"Hehe, maybe I'm lying to you. You can give it a try."
The black-robed old man was badly beaten by Yuan Emperor's projection, almost dying. He said to the black-robed woman, "Grand Patriarch, he must be strong on the outside, but weak on the inside. With your strength, there's no need to be afraid of him. Even if he's still alive, he might not be able to do anything to you."
"Shut up!"
The black-robed woman glared at the black-robed old man.
"Yes."
The black-robed old man was extremely obedient in front of the black-robed woman.
"You win." The black-robed woman gave up on the idea of probing. As for the black-robed old man's words, she did not even consider it. If Yuan Emperor's main body hadn't died, even three of her wouldn't have been his match. How could an ordinary titled monarch be able to leave a mark on the Emperor Scar Stele? And the current Yuan Emperor's projection looked 'extremely weak'. She had ninety-nine percent confidence that she could kill him. Unfortunately, just as the Yuan Emperor's projection had said, a true titled monarch would always have some heavenly treasures. These methods were profound and unfathomable, not reflected in combat power. Once hit, even if one's strength was doubled, they might still die. There was no need for her to gamble.
Her gaze fell on Ye Chen, the black-robed woman said, "Don't worry, I never planned to kill you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here personally. I don't have the ability to predict the future."
She had been in seclusion all this time and was completely unaware of Murong Qingcheng's matter. Only when she came out of seclusion did she learn of the news. She knew that if she wanted Murong Qingcheng to willingly join the Chaotic Demon Sea's Human Demon Race, she couldn't kill Ye Chen. Otherwise, unless she erased his memories, he would definitely be filled with resentment. Fortunately, the Human Demon Kings of the Human Demon Race all carried Sensory Pearls. Relying on the senses of the Sensory Pearls, she quickly chased after Ye Chen. What happened next was what had just happened.
Ye Chen's thoughts turned at lightning speed. He felt that the black-robed woman shouldn't be lying, and there was no need for her to lie. If not for the unexpected incident of the Standing High Sight Painting, a Human Demon King could have easily taken away Murong Qingcheng. There was no need for her to come here personally and waste her time.
"Perhaps!"
Ye Chen declined to comment.
"I will take her away no matter what." The black-robed woman's tone changed, and she said resolutely.
A helpless expression flickered on Yuan Emperor's face, "Seems like there's no way to resolve this peacefully!" As he spoke, three illusory flowers appeared above his head. One red, one yellow, and one blue, the three flowers intertwined and blossomed with a mysterious radiance.
"You really didn't lie to me." The black-robed woman saw the reaction of Yuan Emperor's image and continued, "This matter can be resolved peacefully. I have the confidence to convince him."
"Oh! I'll wait and see then. "
The three flowers above Yuan Emperor's image remained motionless.
Glancing at the flowers above Yuan Emperor's head with apprehension, the black-robed woman let out a breath and said to Ye Chen, "You've cultivated to this level, which proves that you have a great determination to climb to the peak. In the future, you might even become a Sword King, or even a Sword Emperor."
"Thanks for the compliment."
Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged as he listened to the next words.
"But have you ever thought that if she follows you, will she really step into Life and Death realm? She's a perfect demonic human, and this is an unchangeable fact. In this world, demonic Qi is extremely scarce, and it's simply not suitable for cultivating demonic power. I don't know how she cultivated to half-step King realm, but I'm sure that without any earth-shattering transformation, she'll never become a King. "
"Has a perfect demonic human never appeared in Elysium?"
Ye Chen asked.
"There have been, but not one in the last ten thousand years. Ten thousand years ago, they also needed an enormous opportunity to succeed. Moreover, each of them spent a long time, and their appearances were no longer there."
Yuan Emperor's image smiled bitterly, "She's right. Elysium is not suitable for cultivating demonic power. Demonic power is the energy that Demons cultivate, and they don't belong to this world."
"You can also gamble, but I'm afraid you'll regret it. Under Life and Death realm, one only has a lifespan of three hundred years. By the time she becomes a Life and Death King in a hundred years, or even two hundred years, she'll already be an old woman. Will you still like her then? Will it be suitable for you to be together?"
The black-robed woman closely stared at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen's expression continuously changed. In fact, he was almost convinced. Her words were exactly what he was worried about. The demonic power crystals in Murong Qingcheng's body could at most allow her to reach the first layer of Life and Death Chamber. As for demonic power essence, it was almost negligible. Moreover, breaking through to Life and Death realm was simply too difficult. Even human peerless geniuses didn't have much confidence in doing so, not to mention a demonic power cultivator like Murong Qingcheng. Taking a step back, even if Murong Qingcheng obtained a lot of demonic power crystals, it would only increase her chances by a little bit. However, her chances would still be lower than human geniuses. After all, breaking through to Life and Death realm required not only energy, but also environment.
The black-robed woman could see that Ye Chen was struggling, so she continued, "She has perfect demonic human bloodline. In Chaotic Demonic Ocean, her position is transcendent. I will wholeheartedly nurture her and make her my last disciple. Moreover, you also know that the environment of Chaotic Demonic Ocean is extremely suitable for demonic power cultivation. In that place, her chances of entering Life and Death realm will not be lower than yours. Once she becomes a Demonic Human King, she can go anywhere under the heavens. If you're not afraid of me harming you, you can come and see her whenever you want."
Dispersing his hesitation, Ye Chen solemnly nodded, "Alright, I agree to let her go with you. However, if you don't treat her well or harms her, as long as I don't die, I will eradicate the entire Chaotic Demonic Ocean sooner or later, leaving not a single blade of grass behind."
Good kid!
The black-robed woman was both startled and furious. No one had ever dared to threaten her in front of her. Fortunately, the other party had agreed. "That will never happen. You can rest assured. I'll forgive your disrespect this time, but next time, you'll have to be careful."
"Hehe, you've got guts."
Yuan Emperor was quite appreciative of Ye Chen's character.
"However, you'll have to convince her." The black-robed woman waved her hand, and the crystal space sealing Murong Qingcheng disappeared.
"Give me some time."
Ye Chen's figure flickered and shot toward Murong Qingcheng.
An hour later, Murong Qingcheng agreed. Their separation at this time was for the sake of a long reunion in the future. She was not a person who only cared about love. Moreover, if her cultivation base was low, she would only be a burden by Ye Chen's side. This was the last thing she wanted.
