The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

The reason why the Demon City was able to stand as a three-way Three Kingdoms was that it had severed the veins of the three Sacred Land: the Purple Mansion, the Heart, and the Dantian, each occupying one of the three kingdoms. The three Sacred Land lands did not need to enter; they had their own veins protecting their kingdoms, nourished by Demon Power, which allowed new demons to be born and spiritual creatures to grow. The reason why the successive demon kings of the Three Kingdoms were able to maintain their superior cultivation was also because they had control over the veins, and the Demon Power they obtained far exceeded that of their peers.

A demon king who has reached the peak of Core Formation and possesses various treasures is far more powerful than other demons; they are simply not on the same level.

In fact, none of the three kingdoms' kings can be easily moved. Without a king to oversee them, they would be vulnerable to attack from the opposing king. Therefore, if Chenghuang wanted to enter the Sacred Land for cultivation, he would have done so secretly, finishing his cultivation and emerging by the time others found out. This is the proper way.

As a result, when Chenghuang was supposed to enter the Sacred Land, he was delayed for several days without actually going in. Of course, this was to give the traitor time to spread the news to the Enemy State.

We're just waiting for them to come.

On the surface, it seems like she has fallen into the Land of tenderness of a human man, but in reality, it was all just a scheme from beginning to end.

Ying Li performance instantly made the jackal realize that he had fallen into a trap.

"The Three Kingdoms fought for hundreds of years, supposedly to seize the Sacred Land. But everyone knew the Sacred Land was inaccessible, so what was there to fight for? What they were fighting for was nothing more than the Demon Power of the earth's veins. Whoever could obtain another vein would be able to surpass the other kingdoms."

Ying Li spoke slowly, a hint of mockery in his eyes. "You, Hyena Prime Minister, are leading men to storm the palace simply to steal the ley lines beneath it, to seize the throne and replace the king. That's why you've invited a wolf into the house... But do you really think the Guo Xiao Two Kings, will let you steal the ley lines so easily? They'll only kill you then; their own struggles will be none of your concern. Driven by greed, you don't even understand such a basic principle."

The jackal's expression was grim. "They're holding each other back, but I have my own plans. Ying Li, you understand the logic, so why not take advantage of the fact that the three kings are all tied up and seize the opportunity to divide this lineage with me?"

"You actually thought of bribing me, General. It seems you've already vaguely guessed what the King is doing right now." Ying Li sighed. "She is indeed unable to come here right now, but I'm afraid even if you had this pulse, you wouldn't be able to hold out for more than an hour."

The jackal stared coldly at Ying Li, squeezing out the words through clenched teeth. "She had her male favorites and disciples guard the formation, but it turned out to be just a decoy. She didn't even enter the Purple Mansion herself, but went to the Guoxiao Two Kingdoms? If that's the case, she actually used her male favorites and disciples as Discarded Piece?"

Ying Li said indifferently, "You say he's a gigolo, but how do you know it's not just an act for you?"

The jackal-man's expression changed drastically. "All demons, heed my command! Break through the palace gates and seize the ley lines, and we'll still have a sliver of hope. Otherwise, if that vile woman returns, we'll all be doomed!"

Ying Li, then suddenly transformed into his true form, a giant eagle that blotted out the sky, and swooped down.

A battle erupted at the palace gates.

Far away in the Xiao Kingdom, in the royal palace.

A sudden gust of wind arose in mid-air, and a snow-white fox appeared from the clouds. It was extremely beautiful and had a single horn on its back.

The guards of the Xiao Kingdom instantly panicked. "Cheng... Chenghuang!"

Chenghuang human form, revealing Cheng Cheng's face. Dressed in white, barefoot, and adorned with golden rings, she gracefully descended.

Everyone, including Qin Yi, thought she was in the Kun Peng Purple Mansion, but it turned out that her clone was outside and had already come to the Xiao Kingdom.

"The Kun Peng Heart is not something a fool can possess."

As she spoke, her long hair billowed up, and a whirlwind swept out from her center, instantly changing the weather and causing thunder to rumble in the sky.

"Boom!"

The Protective Barrier of the Xiao Kingdom's palace flickered, intertwining with the raging wind and thunder, barely managing to withstand the attack. Countless imperial guards within the palace gathered all their strength, channeling Demon Power Protective Barrier, hoping to withstand Chenghuang's assault.

"With the Xiao King gone, what good are you lackeys?" Cheng Cheng smiled, her soft and alluring voice concealing a chilling murderous intent.

"Bang!" A slender palm slammed onto the Protective Barrier, accompanied by a burst of thunder and crackling electricity spreading across the Protective Barrier, producing a "creaking" sound as cracks appeared.

Countless Core Formation experts guarded the palace, a terrifying force that could cause rivers of bloodshed if they went to the human world, yet they were in grave danger under her single palm strike!

Cheng Cheng's eyes were icy cold. She slapped her right palm on the Protective Barrier, and with a slight tremor of her left hand, the golden ring in her hand suddenly appeared in her palm and then rapidly grew larger, becoming a circular Law Artifact.

Cheng Cheng swung her hand, and the golden ring smashed onto the Protective Barrier with a "crack," shattering the already precarious Protective Barrier.

The guards below were spraying blood and scattered haphazardly across the ground.

"The king possesses Demon Power, rendering your condensed cores useless." Cheng Cheng casually tossed the golden ring, which instantly transformed into countless golden rings that weaved through the crowd, causing brains to splatter with the slightest touch.

Amidst the screams of the crowd, Cheng Cheng didn't even glance at them, and drifted into the depths of the palace.

Several young, Xiao Beast blocked their way, followed by countless palace guards.

Cheng Cheng chuckled and then vanished in a flash.

When she reappeared, her hands were covered in blood, and the corpses of the Xiao Beast lay all around her, not even sparing the young.

The golden ring outside flew back, now stained red with blood.

Cheng Cheng didn't turn around. She stretched out her slender hand, and the golden ring automatically appeared in her hand. Then, with a casual wave of her hand, she slammed it heavily against a wall formed of a six-pointed crystal.

The crystal wall shattered with a deafening roar.

Inside were passageways like the heart and blood vessels, with a faint, bloody, demonic Yao Qi emanating from the end.

"The earth veins of Kunpeng's Heart Palace, my White Kingdom has taken them."

She reached out and a shrunken heart crystal entered her palm, radiating an eerie light amidst her blood-soaked hand.

The entire palace collapsed with a roar.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure in white robes and gold rings floated into the sky, disappearing amidst the lightning.

On the way to the Guo Country, Cheng Cheng looked back.

That was the direction of the Kun Peng Purple Mansion. Qin Yi was still there, diligently guarding the formation and protecting Chenghuang, which didn't even exist inside the Golden Gate behind him.

The ability to create a Human Avatar is her special ability. It's not a Law Technique clone in the conventional sense, but rather two clones that can both be considered herself: one with pure demon blood and the other with human blood. They can be combined or separated, and when separated, they are still the same soul multitasking.

If she cultivated separately, she could eventually combine the two methods, multiplying her power. However, since she hadn't obtained a suitable human cultivation method, and fortunately, her body hadn't yet begun cultivation, she was truly a human without cultivation. Even if Qin Yi were to discern this, and even the strongest person in the world at present were to do so, they could only determine that it was indeed a human without cultivation, at most discovering that its soul was shared with another body, essentially one entity. Liusu's current soul power was too weak to perceive such subtle details.

This kind of clone can do things that Law Technique clones cannot. For example, when someone is hit by a Witcher's Co-Death Curse, they can suddenly switch to their Human Avatar in the palace. The moment they switch, the spell loses its target and misses.

Then wait about half an incense stick's time before switching back and leaving safely.

Unexpectedly, the Human Avatar was too weak. The moment it switched over, it hooked onto a broken wall, lost its balance, and fell down the mountain.

Falling like this is quite troublesome; these clones can't die easily, otherwise it will cause great damage to the main body. But unexpectedly, she encountered a human. She's incredibly weak, practically on her last legs, yet she's carrying this burden on her back... She could switch back in half an incense stick's time, but right now she doesn't want to; she wants to see what this human is after...

She deliberately remained silent because her usual tone of voice was too distinctive. If Qin Yi had heard this ordinary human woman speak with such alluring charm and authority, all sorts of doubts would have arisen. She wasn't an acting specialist, and carefully controlling her tone would easily give her away; it was easier to pretend to be mute.

In the end, he got nothing in return. He repeatedly shielded her with his own body, and in the end, without even asking for anything, he returned covered in wounds...

In the dog-eat-dog world of the Demon City, this Cheng Cheng had ever met someone like this.

Despite his slender and delicate appearance, he Heaven-Supporting Earth-Trampling.

He sought neither beauty, wealth, resources, nor power. He only wanted to find the solution to the Co-Death Curse, bring it back to his lover, and fulfill his promise.

Cheng Cheng admired him; the more he flirted and was rejected, the more she admired him.

But that was useless. To the great cause of the White Kingdom, a mere human being was just a ripple in the ocean. That moment was beautiful, but that was all.

She did enter the Kun Peng Purple Mansion, but she replaced it with a human body that had no cultivation. She hid in a corner and did nothing, while her true body was outside, wreaking havoc.

If the formation is breached, the Human Avatar may die, but even if the main body is damaged, the exchange of the two nations' ley lines would be well worth it. Even if the nation's ley lines are taken, a one-for-two trade is still extremely worthwhile.

As for Qin Yi was risking his life to guard outside... he was only responsible for making the Guo Xiao Two Kings and Wang, believe that she Chenghuang in the cave and wasted time in the formation for this reason.

Theoretically Guo Xiao Two Kings, would only attack for half an hour. Once the Golden Gate closed and they saw no hope of entering the cave, they naturally wouldn't linger there. Instead, they would turn back to fight for the White Kingdom's ley lines, thus relieving Qin Yi's pressure. This was Qin Yi's only chance to survive.

But what if Qin Yi can't hold out for even half an hour?

The Soaring Serpent might be able to escape by its speed, but Qin Yi will die.

So be it...

Hawk Commander is right; he shouldn't focus his attention on a human.

Trying to woo him and keep him around? That's just a game.

Knitting clothes for him? It's just for show, to impress the traitor.

The Guo Country was now before them. Cheng Cheng, her expression icy, swooped down amidst a sky filled with lightning and thunder.

"Boom!" The Guo Country's palace shook violently.
