Chapter 614: Chapter 306 I Also Want to Find My Husband_2

Master?

Yelü Miaomiao and the woman in black looked at Qu Hongling in astonishment.

Even Qu Hongling herself was dumbfounded.

The demon with a human head and a snake body nuzzled up to Qu Hongling, rubbing its head against her leg, exceedingly tame.

The atmosphere at the scene turned eerie.

Yelü Miaomiao gazed at Qu Hongling with eyes reserved for a monster and asked suspiciously, "Why does it call you master? Could it be because you are also a demon?"

Upon hearing that Qu Hongling was a demon, the woman in black’s eyes flickered.

Due to Qu Hongling’s unique nature, ordinary cultivators had difficulty sensing the demon energy on her. At first, the woman had thought this girl was a cultivator from the Human Clan.

"Perhaps."

Qu Hongling herself was also unclear about the situation.

After much thought, perhaps it was indeed because her own demonic nature was quite unique, causing the mysterious demon to mistakenly recognize her as its master.

While she was pondering, a sword light suddenly chopped down.

It was the woman in black, who had somehow produced a long sword and viciously aimed it at the mysterious demon’s head!

However, the long sword shattered upon striking the demon.

The woman in black’s expression changed; she twisted her wrist and viciously stabbed the remaining three inches of the broken sword into the demon’s eye.

At the same time, the sword qi within the woman surged tumultuously, bursting forth like floodwaters through open gates.

Sword qi coiled around the broken sword, flooding like raging waters into the demon’s eye, bursting into a cloud of blood mist.

The demon let out a piercing, wretched scream.

The cry that emanated from its throat made the eardrums of the three women buzz.

The demon violently thrashed its snake body, the fierce wind blowing Yelü Miaomiao and the woman in black away, yet it did not harm Qu Hongling. Shortly after, it charged toward the two women, shaking its bloodied head.

The massive snake body carved a deep pit in the ground, crushing the rocks that had fallen from the cave walls.

The eight arms on the demon’s belly, like animated noodles, suddenly stretched out, flailing from all directions like the shadows of an octopus, blocking any retreat.

A screeching ringing noise seemed to resonate in Qu Hongling’s brain, the sound expanding to every part of her head.

She instinctively clutched her ears tightly, trying to block out the noise that was driving her nearly mad.

However, the screeching grew even more intense.

Qu Hongling’s face contorted in agony, sweat sliding down her temples.

She could vaguely see the demon relentlessly pursuing Yelü Miaomiao, wanting to move forward to help, yet she was unable to move. More and more voices mixed in her mind, about to make her head explode.

In the peak of agony, Qu Hongling could no longer contain herself, and knelt on the ground, her hands desperately clutching the earth, emitting an extremely piercing scream from deep within her throat.

Behind her, an immense blood-colored phoenix apparition slowly fluttered its wings, beautifully mesmerizing.

Rumbling noises continuously resounded around her...

The sky even thundered with flashes of lightning.

When Qu Hongling gradually regained her senses from the blurry consciousness, she found that the cave had collapsed, creating a vacuum zone around her.

Whether it was the altar or the underground palace, all were destroyed.

Yelü Miaomiao was lying not far away.

And the woman in black was kneeling on the ground, her body shaking slightly, as if chewing on something.

The human-headed, snake-bodied demon was nowhere to be seen.

Qu Hongling walked up with perplexity.

She saw the woman holding a broken egg, stuffing something resembling egg yolk into her mouth.

Qu Hongling gently tapped the woman’s shoulder and asked, "What are you doing?"

The woman in black suddenly turned her head.

At that moment, Qu Hongling noticed the woman’s cheeks had more pronounced black vein-like lines, appearing as if they were flowing blood or worms wriggling under the skin.

Qu Hongling took two steps back in fright.

The woman in black subconsciously protected the eggshell, glanced at the yolk that she had eaten, then tossed the eggshell away, stood up, and walked toward Qu Hongling.

"I didn’t expect you, girl, to actually be a demon..."

The woman in black’s injuries had clearly healed, her body exuding a sinister aura.

She coldly said, "Did you see that?"

Aware that something was amiss, Qu Hongling’s Phoenix Slaying Sword twirled between her fingers, "Saw what?"

The woman in black paused her steps, her lips curling into a sneer:

"You must have seen it just now, even peered into my memories, my thoughts. Peered into... my intention to strike down my disciple. Peered into, all my actions, just a facade... right!?"

As soon as her words fell, the woman in black’s face abruptly twisted into a ferocious expression, veins bulging on her forehead as she charged toward Qu Hongling.

Qu Hongling was taken aback, and the Phoenix Slaying Sword leapt out of her fingers.

The Phoenix Slaying Sword effortlessly pierced through the body of the woman in black.

However, no blood splattered, and the woman’s body directly transformed into a cloud of black mist and dispersed.

The next moment, the woman in black appeared behind her.

She was crouched on the ground, her expression one of pain, mixed with unwilling rage, despair, and the deep-seated jealousy and violence that surged from the bottom of her heart.

"My Dao... all gone. I hate..."

The woman slammed her fists against the ground, "Heaven is so unjust to me! So unjust!"

Qu Hongling was completely baffled by the scene before her.

Suddenly, the woman in black looked up at her:

"You, as a demon, possess such pure Sword Dao, why!? I am the foremost person in the Sword Dao, I deserve to be the Sect Leader of the Xuanji Sword Sect! Not Jiang Wan! Not her daughter! Not Yan Changqing! It’s me!"

The woman in black lunged at Qu Hongling again.

Just as Qu Hongling was about to draw her sword, the woman in black suddenly stopped.

She clasped her head with both hands, her fingers curled, tugging at her hair, then suddenly looked to the left and muttered, "It worked, I think I succeeded..."

The woman in black moved swiftly toward the left direction and quickly disappeared from sight.

Qu Hongling muttered "Crazy woman," and went to check on Yelü Miaomiao.

Fortunately, Yelü Miaomiao had only sustained a minor head injury. After Qu Hongling transferred some Yuan Qi to her, she slowly regained consciousness.

"Where is this?"

Yelü Miaomiao rubbed her head and asked groggily.

Qu Hongling, with a strange expression, pinched the other’s cheek: "Princess Yelv, you couldn’t have lost your memory, right? Do you remember who I am? I am your sister."

"Get lost."

Yelü Miaomiao swatted Qu Hongling’s arm away irritably.

The young girl took out an elixir from her bosom, swallowed it, then stood up, looking around and asked with a frown, "Where is that elder from the Xuanji Sword Sect? Was she killed by a demon?"

"She ran away."

"Ran away?"

"I don’t understand her either; it seems like she really went mad," Qu Hongling didn’t know how to describe it.

Yelü Miaomiao suddenly remembered something and began searching around urgently, and when she found the intact Divine Ghost Eight Array Diagram in a pile of rocks, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Never mind her; let’s leave this place first," Yelü Miaomiao picked up the Divine Ghost Eight Array Diagram and said to Qu Hongling, "With such a commotion, I guess people from the Myriad Phenomena God Sect must have arrived. They might even activate a self-destruct array."

Qu Hongling nodded.

She turned her head to look back at the place where the demon had stayed and then at the eggshell discarded by the woman in black.

"Master..."

Recalling the demon’s voice, Qu Hongling spaced out for a moment before she left with Yelü Miaomiao.

The two stepped out of the forbidden gate and noticed evidence of a battle outside—destroyed array platforms and collapsed buildings—but they saw no corpses.

"Which expert visited the Myriad Phenomena God Sect? Could it be that the demon got away?"

Yelü Miaomiao said cheerfully.

Qu Hongling composed herself and laughed, "The treasure has been obtained for you, so I will take my leave, as I have urgent matters to attend to. Let’s part here."

"Sure." Yelü Miaomiao smiled, "Mr. Qu, you really helped me out this time. I owe you one. If there’s anything you need help with in the future, just ask."

"Since you say so, I won’t be polite," Qu Hongling’s eyes twinkled mischievously, and she cheekily asked, "Could you please help me find my husband?"

"Your husband?"

Yelü Miaomiao was taken aback and chuckled, "That joke isn’t funny at all."

But seeing Qu Hongling’s serious gaze, Yelü Miaomiao’s smile froze: "Mr. Qu, you really have a husband?"

"You have one, so why can’t I?"

Qu Hongling blinked.

"But..."

Yelü Miaomiao hesitated, "I have to go find my husband too."
