"Did you ask this old lady for permission before trying to touch him?"
The woman in red hidden deep within Wei Qing's sea of consciousness slowly appeared.
She raised her hand and struck the man in blue directly on the head.
With a bang, like a watermelon smashed apart in the height of summer, the man's head exploded outright.
A streak of black mist shot out of the man's body and turned to flee into the void—
"Trying to run? Freeze!"
The moment the woman spoke, the entire sea of consciousness abruptly solidified. The fleeing black mist froze in midair, unable to move even an inch.
"Words becoming law... You're Martial Emperor Luo... Luo Liuli... So you really are alive."
The black mist twisted violently, its voice distorted by terror.
The person before it had achieved deeds too terrifying in those years.
Two Heavenly Demons and six Earth Demons of the demon race had fallen one after another at her hands.
The other demons she had slain numbered no fewer than a hundred thousand.
Throughout the demon race, none failed to tremble at the name "Blood-Clad Liuli."
Luo Liuli ignored the demon before her and gently raised her hand, scattering a shower of golden starlight.
The boiling sea of consciousness instantly calmed, as though nothing had happened.
Wei Qing's rapidly expanding soul, on the verge of losing control, slowly contracted as though drawn back by an invisible rope at the two calm words Luo Liuli uttered: "Return." In the end, it settled back into place, and everything returned to peace.
"Thank you, Senior."
Wei Qing's face was pale as he clasped his hands and bowed.
He cried out inwardly: A true powerhouse!
This had to be the "Lord Liuli" the demon had mentioned, right?
But why was she hidden inside his sea of consciousness?
"It's fine, as long as you're all right."
Luo Liuli swept her gaze across him, and Wei Qing immediately felt as though he had been seen through completely.
Then, her gaze shifted to the man in blue, and she said coldly, "Yun Tianheng, must I help you as well?"
Wei Qing's pupils suddenly contracted.
He had never expected the man before him to be Yun Tianheng, the Sect Master of the Cloud Heaven Sect.
"I wouldn't dare trouble you, my lord."
Yun Tianheng's exploded head swiftly regenerated, and a somewhat hoarse voice hurriedly replied.
There was a trace of fear in his gaze toward Luo Liuli.
"Blood-Clad Luo Liuli" was ruthless toward her enemies.
She showed no mercy to her own people, either.
A fierce general had no weak soldiers under her command!
The Luoshen Legion under her command!
Back then, it could simply be called the nightmare of the demon race!
Though he was not under her command, his fear of Luo Liuli was no less than that of the demons—if anything, it was even greater.
If you disobeyed!
She would truly beat the living daylights out of you!
Back then, Xiao Jingtian, the eldest disciple of the Human Alliance's leader, had contradicted her.
As a result, he could not get out of bed for a month.
In the end, the Human Alliance leader said nothing and merely announced to the outside world that he had entered seclusion during that time.
"Tell me. What happened? With your strength, how could you possibly have been suppressed by a trash Heavenly Demon?"
"It... it happened like this."
Seeing Luo Liuli clench her fist, Yun Tianheng was so frightened that he hurriedly recounted what had happened back then.
In that battle, the Cloud Heaven Sect had poured out the strength of the entire sect and finally slaughtered every demon under the Heavenly Demon Silver Moon.
Yet Heavenly Demon Silver Moon could not be completely killed at all!
The surviving experts of the Cloud Heaven Sect had burned their lifespans and blood essence to seal it away.
In the end, after leaving behind their inheritances, the remaining survivors held on for less than two hours before dying one after another.
As for him, he had relied on a sect secret art to preserve a trace of his true spirit.
But unexpectedly, another Heavenly Demon had survived that battle through a secret art.
And it had set its sights on him.
At first, he had still been able to suppress it.
But as time passed, the power of his true spirit grew weaker and weaker.
Until not long ago, his power had been completely suppressed by the other party.
Later, the other party had somehow contacted traitorous human factions in the outside world, as well as demons.
They came up with the present Dragon Slaying Plan!
Afterward, they used the "demon incidents" as bait.
Then they spread news of an Exotic Treasure.
They planned to blood-sacrifice Jizhou's geniuses in preparation for breaking the Heavenly Demon Seal.
Wei Qing instantly broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. So he had fallen into the demons' trap from the very beginning.
The Smiling Death Incident!
The standard-issue Ink Blades carried by the Night Owl Guard's patrolling mechanical puppets.
The anomaly in the Black Mist Wasteland.
This demon plan did not only target the geniuses of Jizhou Prefecture.
It also targeted the Jizhou Heavenly Realm Division.
Perhaps their initial target had been certain geniuses within the Jizhou Heavenly Realm Division.
It was only that his appearance had inadvertently disrupted part of their plans.
Then his appearance in the mist passage had once again ruined their plan.
Finally, Luo Liuli's appearance had completely shattered their plan.
"Since that is the case, you can die as well."
As her words fell, Luo Liuli lightly pointed one finger toward the immobilized demon.
"No... Lord Silver Moon, I won't..."
The demon's desperate howl was cut short, and its unfinished words scattered into the wind.
Immediately afterward, the consciousness and black mist within the demon's soul body were erased. Its soul, like an egg stripped of its shell, gradually transformed into a pure orb of Mental Power.
"Hm?"
Wei Qing froze, staring at the incomparably familiar orb.
He immediately understood that the "passing powerhouse" Zhu Huan had spoken of in the end was Luo Liuli before him.
Seeing the change in Wei Qing's expression, she knew her identity had been exposed.
She did not mind. With a light wave of her hand, a golden thread connected Wei Qing's sea of consciousness to the orb.
"Thank you, Senior."
Wei Qing bowed slightly. Having saved his life twice, she had left him not knowing how to repay her.
Luo Liuli instantly saw through Wei Qing's thoughts. "You need not feel any pressure. I saved you because I will need your help with something later."
"May I ask, Senior, what matter is it?"
"You are not strong enough yet. We'll discuss it once you break through to the Innate realm."
"Yes, Senior."
Hearing that, Wei Qing stopped dwelling on it and decided that he had to find a way to break through to the Innate realm as quickly as possible.
Only.
Although there were many demons now, they were scattered throughout Great Zhou. If he wanted to kill them one by one—
Forget it without ten years.
Wait!
A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Wei Qing, and he thought of a place.
There were quite a few demons there.
The Heavenly Realm Division's prison held a great number of demons.
As for whether the people of the Garrison Division would agree, he would find out after returning to the Imperial City.
After finishing everything, Luo Liuli looked at Yun Tianheng again. "What do you plan to do next?"
"Hehe." The latter grinned, his manner utterly fawning. "I ask Lord Liuli to act and help me stabilize my soul."
"This is a Mental Power cultivation technique. For now, you will recover inside Wei Qing's sea of consciousness. As for what comes next, we will discuss it after finding that item."
As she spoke, a streak of light flew from Luo Liuli's hand and entered Yun Tianheng's brow.
"Understood!"
Yun Tianheng nodded repeatedly in excitement.
Wei Qing thought, This seems to be my sea of consciousness.
You're all moving in without even greeting me, the owner?
Before you continue
