Chapter 260: Chapter 155: Please, Demon Venerable, Execute Them!_2

After the previous incident at the inn, his impression of the boy had grown increasingly favorable; he found the match with the Sect Master to be a match made in heaven, a perfect union.

Despite the boy’s somewhat lower cultivation, it was no issue; if worse came to worst, they could find some Dual Cultivation Technique for the Sect Master to carry him along in advancement.

——

Elsewhere.

After securing Yelü Miaomiao and Er Liang in a hidden and safe location, Jiang Shouzhong hurriedly sought an isolated corner for some temporary rest. Mumbling complaints, the man grumbled, "You’re the Demon Venerable, couldn’t you give some kind of warning beforehand? Why decide to possess me at this moment, what took you so long?"

Just before, an abrupt sensation of swelling pain had assailed Jiang Shouzhong’s body, accompanied by a heavy dizziness, as if a massive stone were pressing on his heart... the symptoms were exactly like the ones before the last time the Demon Venerable had possessed him.

Jiang Shouzhong immediately understood that the Demon Venerable seemed unable to hold back any longer and wished to borrow his body to appear in the world.

Of course, if he insisted on maintaining control over his own body, even the imposing Demon Venerable couldn’t forcibly occupy him. But given the current situation, Jiang Shouzhong was rather keen on the Demon Venerable causing some trouble sooner rather than later, to prevent Mengniang from being spied upon by the Yata Mirror for Detecting Demons.

Thus, he quickly found a nearby inn ruined by enormous boulders, selected a relatively clean patch of ground in the rubble, and without hesitation, lay down.

As Jiang Shouzhong drifted into a hazy state between sleeping and waking, the Water Moon Dream Mirror quietly appeared above him, emerging as if from the void and rippling circles of radiance.

Simultaneously, an enchanting figure materialized from nothingness.

It was the white-haired one, unclothed.

Wrapped only in cascading silver-white hair that barely concealed her outline, her beautifully sculpted body contours were even more bewitching.

"Dilly-dallying, can’t you be faster?"

The Demon Venerable’s face showed displeasure, her words tinged with evident irritation.

In the mirror’s wavering surface, the woman’s silver-white hair fluttered without wind, each strand sparkling with a crystal sheen, exuding an even more captivating and magical charm than usual.

Jiang Shouzhong retorted unhappily, "If you can, why don’t you come out of the mirror directly? Borrowing my body and still acting like a lord, do you believe I won’t let you borrow it next time and you can just stay in the mirror?"

"You dare threaten me?"

The Demon Venerable’s expression turned cold as if invisible frost had instantly covered her face.

Seeing that Jiang Shouzhong was not intimidated, staring straight at her, the Demon Venerable’s frosty expression melted away, replaced with an awkward smile,

"Just kidding, what’s our relationship now? We share life and death, one body. Your body is my body; it’s fine if I borrow it for a bit, right? Later when I come out of the Water Moon Dream Mirror, you can play with my body as you please too, right?"

After she finished speaking, the Demon Venerable suddenly felt this was wrong and quickly spat a few times, "But you can’t just play with my body willy-nilly."

"Get on with it, who’s the one dawdling now?"

Jiang Shouzhong frowned displeasedly.

The Demon Venerable put aside her teasing demeanor. As the surface of the mirror slowly descended, she tenderly extended her delicate, jade-like arm, her palm gently touching Jiang Shouzhong’s chest.

In an instant, the cosmos seemed to invert, yin and yang switched places.

Jiang Shouzhong’s soul, as if drawn by an invisible force, was swiftly separated from his body, transforming into a streak of light that shot straight into the mirror world, imprinting itself upon the rippling mirror surface.

With the Demon Venerable’s spirit entering Jiang Shouzhong’s body, his originally black-as-ink hair instantly lost its color, turning silver-white, shining brilliantly as if bathed in moonlight.

The already handsome features of the man began to change, the skin becoming more delicate, almost imperceptibly textured. The masculine lines of his face were gradually replaced by soft and deep allure, taking on the appearance of a strikingly beautiful woman.

The distinction between male and female surreptitiously switched in a fleeting moment, eliciting astonishment.

"Ah, how comfortable,"

The Demon Venerable inhaled deeply, savoring the long-missed fresh air. Her exquisite face lifted slightly as if basking in a layer of moonlight. Her silver-white hair danced, exuding an unsurpassed seductiveness and majestic presence.

Whoosh!

The Demon Venerable’s figure transformed into a streak of light, vanishing from the spot.

The light broke through the clouds, solidifying into form in an instant. The Demon Venerable stood proudly in midair, with faint silver radiance encircling her body, reflecting against the stars and moonlight as if a deity had descended.

The vast surge of demonic power shook the universe.

The Yata Mirror for Detecting Demons, sensing the Demon Energy, swiftly turned its glare, directing its light precisely toward the Demon Venerable floating in the sky.

Myriads of light particles gathered around the Demon Venerable, dazzling and soul-stirring.

At that moment, every person in Muling County instinctively focused on the illuminated figure suspended in the sky.

Whether it was the elite soldiers engaged in exterminating monsters or the cultivators from Zhenxuan Mountain and Myriad Phenomena God Sect eliminating demons, all sensed that overwhelming surge of demonic power simultaneously, like an immense tidal wave cascading forth.

Everyone’s expressions were one of shock, their spirits shaken.

"Yata Mirror for Detecting Demons... Heh."

The Demon Venerable’s slender, jade-like fingers gently stretched out, akin to an orchid blooming.

A faint cracking sound was heard, and the mirror’s surface, fragile as thin ice subjected to scorching sunlight, was instantly covered with a spiderweb of cracks. The cracks quickly spread, from thin to thick, sparse to dense...

Immediately after, the entire mirror shattered, sending fragments scattering like rain.

...

Within the county government mansion,

Crown Prince Zhou Yin stared blankly for a moment before tugging at the corner of his mouth. He rubbed his hands forcefully over his face and said in resignation, "Did I not read the almanac before leaving the house? My luck is just too rotten."

Zhou Yin sighed deeply, folding his hands into his sleeves, leaned back in his chair, and fell into deep contemplation.

At that moment, a general clad in armor hurried into the mansion. After saluting, he whispered something into Zhou Yin’s ear.

Zhou Yin’s expression was wooden, his eyes reflecting a complex gaze.

After a long while, he stood up, straightened his clothes, waved for everyone in the courtyard to leave, and said indifferently, "Bring her in."

...

In a mountain hollow, after just having slain a mountain spirit, Feng Yichen’s expression changed abruptly as he looked towards the Demon Venerable in the sky. His breathing became sudden and chaotic; his heart pounded uncontrollably within his chest.

Could it be... the Demon Venerable!?

Immediately, he exclaimed excitedly, "Elder Uncle, the Demon Venerable really is here! She’s really here! Elder Uncle, hold off on taking action, let me meet her first, and then you can take your time dealing with her—Elder Uncle?"

Sensing something was amiss, Feng Yichen turned his head to look at his Elder Uncle.

However, there was nothing but emptiness beside him.

Looking up, he saw Chai Liuqi standing on a flying sword, shooting across the sky like a meteor, fleeing at high speed while screaming at the top of his lungs, "Run! Run! Keep running!!"

Feng Yichen’s lips twitched.

As he hesitated about whether to run with him, he saw the Demon Venerable appear like a specter in front of Chai Liuqi in a blink.

Before he could see clearly, Chai Liuqi’s figure suddenly froze in mid-air, and then, like a meteor, he was violently hurled down by an invisible force.

Boom!

The ground erupted, creating a large crater and raising clouds of dust.

Feng Yichen’s face turned pale as he gasped and, with trembling legs, approached the edge of the crater. He peered into the pit to see Chai Liuqi, ragged and motionless, and tentatively called out, "Elder Uncle?"

There was no response; the torn clothes fluttered in the wind.

"Elder Uncle?"

"Elder Uncle!"

"Elder Uncle!!"

"Stop freaking calling me!" Chai Liuqi burst out in a low voice, his face towards the dirt pit, "Can’t you let me play dead?!"

Feng Yichen: "..."

Looking up to see the Demon Venerable battling the people from the Myriad Phenomena God Sect, Feng Yichen hesitated for a moment, then jumped into the crater, lay next to his Elder Uncle without moving, and gathered some dust to cover his head.

...

In mid-air, Yu Zhu, the fifth Peak Master of the Myriad Phenomena God Sect, held a freshly slain ape demon’s head, with crimson blood dripping through his fingers, and looked at the Demon Venerable with sparkling eyes, smiling, "Interesting, I didn’t expect the illustrious Demon Venerable to come. I heard about your rampage in the Capital and regretted not being there to witness it. Today, my luck seems good to catch a glimpse of the Demon Venerable’s elegance."

Yu Zhu tossed away the ape demon’s head, and in his hand, there was now a porcelain bowl, delicate in texture and lustrous in glaze.

Within the bowl, vibrant and snake-like patterns appeared, their lively forms intertwining and intersecting with each other, creating a complex and intricate symbiotic scene.

"Rise!"

With a commanding shout from Yu Zhu, giant pythons surged from the bowl, like formidable, iron chains soaring through the air, suddenly forming a grand net in the sky and entwining towards the Demon Venerable.

"Please, Venerable Demon, submit to your demise!"

"Great Perfection of the Saintly Ascension Realm? Not bad, worthy of dying at my hand."

The Demon Venerable’s crimson lips curved upwards, her gaze shifting to the bowl in the opponent’s hand, "As for this Heavenly Begging Bowl, I’ll take it."
