The Devil Lord's Demeanor
Heaven!
In the Southern Domain, in Small Mountain Village.
"Thank you for your help, Big Brother. The little sister's problem is solved."
Xin Ning obediently bowed to Li Fan.
"You're welcome,"
Li Fan smiled and said, "Come, I'll teach you a new poem."
He picked up his brush and, with swift, flowing strokes, quickly wrote a poem on the rice paper!
"Firmly rooted in the green hills, its foundation firmly planted in the broken rocks."
"Though battered and bruised a thousand times, it remains firm and strong, letting the winds from east, west, north, and south blow as they may."
Xin Ning followed Li Fan and finished reading the poem. A glint of wonder appeared in her large eyes!
This poem is different from any of the ones Li Fan taught before.
In the past, Li Fan mostly taught her many elegant and witty poems to cultivate her mind and body.
But this time, the song has a sense of grandeur and passion!
"Xin Ning, do you know why I taught you this poem?"
Li Fan asked a question.
Xin Ning shook her head and said, "Xin Ning doesn't know."
Li Fan gently stroked the hair on her forehead and said:
I hope you can hold fast to your heart.
"Life is full of setbacks and hardships, and we will always see all kinds of wickedness and malice, but we must always uphold a spirit of remaining untainted by the mud and a noble character of being pure and unpretentious!"
"Just like bamboo rooted in the rocks on the mountain, never give up, never admit defeat!"
He worried that Xin Ning would lose her inner purity after experiencing the wickedness of people.
After all, she was born into a wealthy family, persecuted by her sisters, and forced to flee to this mountain village...
In such circumstances, even a good child can easily become corrupted!
Li Fan wanted to use this poem to help her strengthen her kind heart!
Upon hearing this, Xin Ning's big eyes flashed with a sudden realization!
"Though battered and bruised a thousand times, it remains firm and strong, letting the winds from east, west, north, and south blow as they may..."
"Rising from the mud yet remaining unstained, washed by clear ripples yet not becoming seductive..."
She murmured to herself, as if she had already understood something...
"Is my Big Brother teaching me to read poetry so that I... can rid myself of the demonic nature within me?"
At that moment, she seemed to understand Li Fan's good intentions during this time...
"The reason he's only telling me this now is because he's worried that after I merge with other Primordial Soul, I'll lose myself and become a vicious and violent monster...?"
As she thought this, she immediately became vigilant. Yes, she had absorbed new Primordial Soul, but those Primordial Soul could easily affect her!
"I must refine them; I absolutely cannot allow my mind to be influenced by them!"
She made up her mind!
"Miss Gongya, the matter has been settled."
Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the Small Courtyard.
It was Jing who destroyed it!
Upon hearing this, a look of nervous anticipation flashed in Gongya's eyes!
Jing Mie's return and report meant that... the bait had finally caught fish again!
Xin Ning also smiled and said to Li Fan:
"Big Brother, you helped me resolve my sister's issue this morning, so I took the opportunity to call my other seven sisters here. I'll go out and settle this with them, then I'll come back, okay?"
After devouring a Primordial Soul, her strength increased greatly, and she could easily deal with other Primordial Soul. Moreover, she had two demon generals as her assistants, so she did not intend to rely on Li Fan anymore.
After all, if he were to constantly trouble such a senior, he would eventually grow tired of it.
Upon hearing this, Li Fan was taken aback.
Xin Ning has seven younger sisters?
This means that Xin Ning was originally one of nine sisters?
That's... way too many babies!
They truly are a wealthy family.
He had mixed feelings, but he didn't say much. After all, it would be best to resolve things once and for all.
"Sure, just let me know if you need any help."
Li Fan spoke.
"Thank you, Big Brother ~~"
Xin Ning thanked them cheerfully, and then, together with Gongya, walked out of the courtyard gate once again.
Stepping out of the Unique Leisurely Courtyard, Jing Mie stood outside with utmost respect and said:
"Reporting to the Devil Lord, five more Primordial Soul have arrived in succession!"
Five!
"Let's go out and greet them!"
Xin Ning led the two out of the mountain village. Just as they left the village, Xin Ning suddenly reached out, and Primordial Soul without its own consciousness suddenly appeared in the field.
"This means... the Devil Lord can extract the Primordial Soul at will?"
Gongya spoke in surprise.
"Since we're going to use scented bait to catch goldfish, we need to make it look real. Come on, let's retreat to the village. That way, no one will be able to find us."
Xin Ning smiled.
The three then returned to the village wall and waited.
Not long after.
A dark figure suddenly appeared in front of the village.
This is an old man carrying a little girl on his back.
The little girl's face was very pale, but her eyes held an eerie look.
"That... is the Primordial Soul..."
Suddenly, the little girl pointed to the entrance of the village, where a drifting spirit was seen!
The old man was also shocked.
"Why is the Devil Lord's Primordial Soul scattered here...? This place looks terrifying... like a forbidden zone!"
He immediately said:
"Devil Lord, this place is far too dangerous, its dangers are unknown. Let us absorb this Primordial Soul immediately and then leave!"
The little girl nodded and said, "Okay!"
After saying that, she jumped off the old man's back and appeared in front of the Primordial Soul in the next moment.
She reached out and grabbed at the Primordial Soul.
However, the Primordial Soul seemed to sense a threat and actually drifted towards the village.
"Stop!"
The little girl caught up and grabbed at it with all her might.
At that very moment, a black vortex suddenly appeared above the little girl's head!
"Ah--No!"
The little girl looked up in terror, and at that moment, she hurriedly tried to back away.
But it was too late.
The vortex was too terrifying; it was about to engulf her.
"Devil Lord!"
The old man behind was shocked; it was a trap!
Without hesitation, he charged forward, ready to strike the vortex.
But at the same time, two auras that were equally powerful as his suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
"Boom--"
He collided with the two auras, and his figure froze for a moment.
The instant he stopped, the Devil Lord's Primordial Soul he was protecting lost its ability to struggle and was completely sucked into the black vortex.
"Devil Lord!"
The old man's eyes were bloodshot, like a mad lion, as he beat his chest and stamped his feet, filled with rage and hatred.
"Dan Ming, isn't your Devil Lord here? What's with your madness?"
At that moment, a childish voice rang out.
A little girl approached with her hands behind her back and a smile on her lips.
Her aura was incredibly powerful, now even comparable to that of Gongya and Jing Mie!
--After devouring the first Primordial Soul, she recovered to the peak of the Taiyi Golden Demon realm, and now she has devoured another one, officially stepping into the Great Luo Golden Devil realm!
Her current strength is comparable to that of a Demon Commander!
Behind her, Jing Mie and Gongya followed on either side!
When the old man Dan Ming saw the little girl, he was immediately shocked.
"You... you... you set this trap..."
He understood everything.
This is a complete trap!
The purpose is to attract other Primordial Soul to devour them.
At this moment, Jing Mie coldly shouted:
"Dan Ming, according to the Devil Lord's former command, although each of us nine is assigned to support a Primordial Soul, once the Primordial Soul we support is devoured, we must acknowledge the devourer as our master!"
"Because, no matter who devours whom, in the end, it is the Devil Lord who returns."
"How dare you harbor selfish motives and disrespect the Devil Lord?!"
Upon hearing this, Dan Ming gave a wry smile and said:
"How could I forget the Devil Lord's dying wish?"
After speaking, he bowed deeply to Xin Ning, respectfully saying:
"Greetings, Devil Lord!"
Xin Ning said with a grin, "Alright, stop bowing. Quickly hide over here so the people who come later won't find us."
Dan Ming's expression was complicated, but he still walked behind Xin Ning and followed closely.
Not long after.
A second dark figure appeared in the arena!
Xin Ning followed the same method!
The third one!
The fourth one...
With five consecutive bursts of Primordial Soul, Xin Ning's power surged, directly reaching the sixth level of the Great Luo Golden Devil realm!
And three great Devil Lord also submitted to her.
Just then, the last aura appeared, surging with Blood Qi!
A man carrying Blood Halberd and holding a little girl appeared coldly in the arena.
At the village entrance, two Primordial Soul remain!
"Quickly, I need to go and devour them!"
The little girl in his arms seemed very anxious.
However, Demon General Blood Halberd frowned and said:
"This place is ominous!"
"Devil Lord, we arrived last, so it makes no sense that there are still lingering Primordial Soul here, but no one else is here!"
"We should retreat!"
He spoke!
"No... How could you do this? I order you to take me there immediately!"
The little girl in his arms spoke angrily.
Blood Halberd frowned deeply.
"Hehe, what, you figured it out? This is my trap?"
At that moment, a voice rang out from within the Small Mountain Village.
Xin Ning led the six Demon Generals out.
Seeing Jing Mie, Dan Ming, Gongya, and others following behind her, Blood Halberd's pupils contracted!
This means... the opponent has already devoured the Six Paths Primordial Soul?
That's terrifying!
"You..."
He instinctively turned to leave.
Even if he is the strongest among the nine Demon Generals, he has no chance of winning against six Demon Generals of the same rank.
Moreover, Xin Ning was clearly already extremely arrogant at this moment.
"Blood Halberd, you're not thinking of running away, are you?"
Xin Ning smiled and said:
"You are the strongest demon general under my command. So, come, let's fight. If you win, I will let the Primordial Soul you serve devour me. If you lose, you will have to offer her up!"
"How?"
Blood Halberd, who had been considering retreating, suddenly looked up upon hearing this and said;
"Really?"
Gongya also said anxiously:
"Devil Lord, no! We have victory firmly in our grasp right now, how can we easily give him such an opportunity..."
Xin Ning waved her hand and said:
"You all step back."
Gongya was filled with worry, but she could only sigh and step back.
Blood Halberd also put down the little girl in his arms and said:
"Devil Lord, please wait a moment."
Having said that, he stepped forward, wielding the blood-red halberd, and stared at Xin Ning, saying:
"You asked for this!"
After saying this, he brandished his long spear wildly, his Blood Qi surging to the heavens, terrifying to the extreme, and thrust straight forward, like a surging river of blood!
When the Demon General made his move, the surrounding area almost collapsed, his power was terrifying!
"So powerful! Blood Halberd has improved again over the years!"
"I'm afraid he himself has already touched the threshold of immortality!"
"The Demon Commander has only just fused with a few Primordial Soul, and his power is far from being consolidated. How could he possibly be a match for him!"
Dan Ming, Jing Mie, and the others were all anxious.
But even at this moment, Xin Ning remained extremely calm.
Countless surging waves of Blood Qi crashed down, filling the sky with killing intent, but she suddenly stretched out her hand and recited a poem at the same time:
"Several plum blossoms in the corner of the wall, blooming alone in the cold."
"From afar I know it's not snow, for a faint fragrance wafts by."
As soon as she finished reciting the poem, she was suddenly filled with an extremely clear and serene aura. Wherever she went, the terrifying Blood Qi could not touch her at all!
At this moment, she didn't resemble a terrifying Devil Lord at all, but rather a Goddess from the heavens.
Extremely ethereal, utterly clear, and transcendent!
She parted the countless Blood Qi and appeared in front of Blood Halberd, pointing a finger gently.
On her small hands, miraculous plum blossoms bloomed!
As the plum blossoms bloomed, in that instant, countless layers of Blood Qi dissipated, and countless killing intents vanished!
A plum blossom silently landed on the tip of the blood-red spear!
The long spear in Blood Halberd's hand trembled even more at this moment. An irresistible force was transmitted through his spear, causing blood to flow wildly from the mouth of his hand!
Instantly, Blood Halberd's pupils contracted, he cried out in alarm, and was sent flying backward!
Bang!
The Blood Halberd slammed heavily onto the ground, sending dust flying and creating a terrifying crater in the earth!
Blood Halberd has been defeated!
At this moment, the many demon generals in the arena looked at Xin Ning's back with disbelief in their eyes!
That poem... that spirit...
They were utterly shocked!
