Chapter 151: Chapter 93: The Demon Monarch Appears, Bringing Great Calamity; The Saintess, in Turmoil, Saves Her Boy

’It looks like he’s determined to make an irreconcilable enemy of me.

And what’s more,

this operation is far less meticulously planned than his previous schemes!

For him to dare act like this, he must have found some powerful backing I don’t know about, and... immense benefits.’

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Song fell silent for a moment before letting out a sinister laugh. ”As expected of you. You actually managed to guess some of it! What’s the matter? After all these years of being so obstinate and self-willed, are you finally scared?”

Gu Xiangzhu’s gaze turned cold. The Demon Monarch had been gone for over twenty years. While the Demon Sect hadn’t fallen apart, the Saintess and the Four Guardians had each been acting on their own authority.

Her own actions were likely the most flagrant violation of the Sect’s tenets.

Relying on her wealth, she had eroded much of the Four Guardians’ power.

But they desperately needed her money, so the conflict had never erupted.

This was the first time Huangfu Song had made such a blatant move to take her money.

She asked in a low voice, ”Is he back?”

A brilliant smile spread across Huangfu Song’s face. ”He is! There’s still time for you to repent. Hand over Zhao Ci, and we can overlook your rebellious actions all these years.”

”Heh...”

Gu Xiangzhu scoffed, ”If he were truly back, you certainly wouldn’t be the one demanding things from me! Even if he came to take something himself, he’d have to ask my sword for permission first.”

Huangfu Song’s smile froze. He hadn’t expected the Saintess to be as audacious as ever, not even giving the Demon Monarch face.

Gu Xiangzhu’s expression was glacial. ”Where is he now?”

Though her tone was cold, much of the hostility had faded.

Only then did Huangfu Song relax. Gu Xiangzhu might be rebellious, but she was still clear-headed. At the very least, she recognized that the Demon Monarch was the only one who could fulfill the Holy Sect’s grand ambition.

He cleared his throat and said gravely, ”I don’t know where he is right now! But the Divine Cocoon he left at the Main Altar... has moved!”

Gu Xiangzhu: ”!!!”

The Path of the Celestial Demon is one of destruction and rebirth.

And the Divine Cocoon is the ultimate talent of a Demon Cultivator.

Throughout history, the Demon Monarch is the only one to have ever awakened a Divine Cocoon, and he only sensed its existence after his seventh transformation.

Therefore, even top-tier Demon Cultivators know very little about it.

Before the Demon Monarch disappeared, he left a Divine Pupa Fragment at the Main Altar. It was deathly still inside, showing no signs of life, but its aura was so violent that no one could get near it.

The members of the sect didn’t even know if he was dead or had simply left.

But now.

’The Divine Cocoon has moved?’

Regardless of where the Demon Monarch had actually gone,

this sign was more than enough to prove that he would inevitably return to the world.

’If that happens, my own plans will likely face considerable resistance.’

Huangfu Song’s voice was hoarse as he tried to coax her, ”Saintess, what do you think? With the Saint Monarch here to unite the Holy Sect, you and I should be directing our efforts toward a common goal. How about it? Hand Zhao Ci over to me?”

”In your dreams!”

Gu Xiangzhu sneered.

Huangfu Song was starting to lose his composure. ”Fine! Then I’d like to see if that bastard Prince can really cut down a hundred men and escape, just like you said!”

Gu Xiangzhu: ”...”

’Obviously, he can’t!

He’s Xiang Tiange’s nephew.

Not Xiang Tiange himself.

If he really could cut down a hundred men and escape...

I’d wash his feet for him!’

Her head was throbbing. She really couldn’t figure out what kind of situation Zhao Ci was in. Why was he so badly injured, yet stubbornly refusing to use the warm jade? And how was he managing to stay alive? What on earth was going on?

Just as she was consumed with worry...

”RUMBLE!”

”RUMBLE!”

”RUMBLE!”

The sound of wind and thunder erupted in the sky. The once pitch-black night was instantly filled with a dense web of lightning, bathing the entire wilderness in a dark, violet light.

The two of them looked up at the sky in unison.

This Black Fog Space...

It’s about to disperse!
