This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 127: You’re Not Human?

Chapter 127: Chapter 127: You’re Not Human?

Start off with a mouthful, the rest is all made up.

What Abyss Bone-Melting Needle? Of course, it’s a non-existent thing, just used to fool that silly deer.

The essence of Qinglian is of such high quality, unless one has learned the Qinglian Creation, most techniques would not be able to refine it. And the pain it causes, that’s no mystical method.

Not to mention a strand of Qinglian essence, even randomly channeling some Mana into a person’s crucial Spirit Platform can cause pain.

Isn’t stabbing a common person’s heart with a sharp wooden stick the same as stabbing it with a knife?

But the essence of Qinglian is too high-end, the robed figure just couldn’t recognize it, and the pain he felt was the biggest commotion Liang Yi could create; anything more intense was beyond Liang Yi’s capabilities.

"What’s your name." It’s not good to keep calling him the robed figure like this.

"Mu Shi. That’s the name the Zen monk gave me."

"Huh, quite simple." Liang Yi saw that Mu Shi was quite honest. He summoned a strand of Sword Qi with his fingertip to unbind him.

After Mu Shi untied the ropes, he twisted his wrists and took off the black robe covering his exterior.

"Holy sh*t, what are you doing?" Ju Xiaobei was shocked. What an explosive move right after getting free?

"You’re not human?" Bai Xiaomo asked in surprise after seeing clearly.

Beside them, Liang Yi and Su Youyi also saw the same look of surprise in each other’s eyes.

The figure before Liang Yi, though humanoid in shape, clearly exhibited feline characteristics – thick paw pads, a swishing tail, and slightly twitching cat ears.

Originally all cutesy features, but unfortunately, it was a male, which made Ju Xiaobei lose interest immediately.

"I am a mountain leopard turned spirit, transformed on that day but was ambushed by other beasts, gravely injured and near death when saved by the Zen monk."

"He said: ’People are not stones or wood, who can be without emotions?’ So, he healed me. While recuperating, I served as his mount for a year, and upon parting, he gave me the Meditation Scripture."

Mu Shi, his face fuzzy, disclosed honestly.

"Cute, want to pet!" Liang Yi, looking at Mu Shi’s leopard form, was reminded of his former cat and the leopard in the game that betrayed its faction to become his pet.

His hands involuntarily, uncontrollably, reached out and touched Mu Shi’s ears.

"Not bad, feels good." A comment from the seasoned cat slave, Liang Yi.

Su Youyi and the others had been tempted already, seeing such a good opportunity, they unreservedly stepped forward to join in the petting.

After a stick of incense passed, Mu Shi, who had been thoroughly manhandled, lay on the ground with a post-event expression, pondering whether this counted as a fate worse than death?

"The feel of big cats in the game is indeed great, damn I love patting leopards!"

Bai Xiaomo looked at his palm, sharing a reminiscent expression with Ju Xiaobei.

"Senior Brother, this cat is so smooth to the touch."

Su Youyi, smiling joyfully, clearly excited.

Liang Yi vaguely remembered, from his memories, when they were wandering and making a living, they also owned a stray cat which brought a lot of happiness to the young Su Youyi.

However, it ultimately didn’t survive that winter.

After briefly handling the body of the robed figure, Liang Yi said to the others who still wanted to continue petting the leopard:

"Let’s go, head to the central Flower Forest Mountain first, to see if we can lift the Array."

They had just learned from Mu Shi that they actually didn’t know where the people from Devouring Spirit Sect were concentrated now.

These lower-ranking members were only responsible for capturing the contestants and delivering them to a regional leader, who would then hand them over up the chain.

Now that Liang Yi and his group are few and weak, there is no need to startle the snake by beating the grass, they should head straight to the center to release Ying Xi and the others. On top of Mount Huasen, there are still Array Masters from the Immortal Dynasty working with outsiders to repair the array; won’t the Devouring Spirit Sect be trapped when the time comes?

So why go to act the hero now? After all, his task is only to thwart the Devouring Spirit Sect’s plans, it doesn’t matter who does it. The second phase of the shared main quest "Mutation" was to find out the purpose of the Devouring Spirit Sect, which has just been shown as completed.

Now the third phase has been triggered, and it seems to be the last one "All Clouds Disperse".

Like the tasks received before, just sabotage the Devouring Spirit Sect is enough.

Bai Xiaomo sees his best friend’s level surpass his in just a short time, feeling incredibly upset inside. Is it just because his face is a bit darker than his? Is there such a need for differential treatment?

Looking at others, then looking at himself. Not to mention Liang Yi, even this newly arrived Leopard Brother seems more adorable than himself!

Life is unbearable!

On the way, Liang Yi would save those participants who were attacked if he could; if he couldn’t, there was nothing he could do.

Liang Yi even saw two Fifth Realm cultivators from the Devouring Spirit Sect leading a group of participants whose mana was restrained, all moving in one direction, including that Zhang Youji who didn’t listen to advice and ran around alone.

Are you Lazy Sheep? Every time we meet, you’re either being captured or in the process of being captured.

Liang Yi is not some kind-hearted citizen; you bear the consequences of your own actions.

If there was only one Fifth Realm cultivator, he and his junior sister might have tried something, but with two, forget it.

Carefully avoiding the two Fifth Realm cultivators from the Devouring Spirit Sect, Liang Yi led his group to continue towards Mount Huasen.

But during the journey, that intuition that disappeared after the Devouring Spirit Sect assassin tried to kill him resurfaced intermittently.

He faintly felt this intuition was very important.

"Senior Brother?"

Behind him, Su Youyi was immersed in the dashing back of her senior brother and almost bumped into the suddenly halting Liang Yi.

"I’ve got it!" Liang Yi said excitedly, grasping that intuition.

"??" Su Youyi, followed by the Leopard, looked blankly, carrying two baffled players.

"Do you still remember the Devouring Spirit Sect assassin who tried to kill me that day?" Liang Yi turned to look at Su Youyi.

Su Youyi nodded her head in confusion, how could she forget?

"When I was teaching Ying Tianxing a lesson, I felt the power of the Sword Technique was off, later when you were fighting that Devouring Spirit Sect assassin and used the Immaculate Sword Technique, you also felt a surge in power, and it was the same just now fighting those two fools."

"So, I guess, the two Sword Techniques created by our master might be specifically designed to target the Devouring Spirit Sect."

Liang Yi finished in one breath, his excitement evident as he looked towards the stone-like Bai Xiaomo.

"Y-Young Hero Liang, when you look at me like that, it gives me the chills." Bai Xiaomo shrank back a bit under Liang Yi’s earnest gaze.

"Just throw a couple of Mana Balls towards me and Youyi," commanded Liang Yi; this Leopard was the only suitable subject for the experiment here.

Su Youyi also understood her senior brother’s intention, looking eagerly towards Bai Xiaomo; if it were true, that would be interesting.

"Thump! Thump!"

Tossing Bai Xiaomo and Ju Xiaobei onto the grass behind him, Bai Xiaomo reluctantly conjured two mana balls, barely potent enough to kill a chicken, and hurled them at Liang Yi and Su Youyi.

Wondering what nonsense these two were up to – was their high-grade appearance at the expense of their brains?

Liang Yi applied the Immaculate Sword Technique with his fingers, while Su Youyi used the Flawless Sword Technique, both splitting the mana balls drifting slowly towards them like an old grandfather’s walk.

"It’s true, Senior Brother!"

Feeling the instantaneous force of the Sword Technique splitting the mana balls, Su Youyi was astounded. Just like her senior brother said, as long as it’s against the Devouring Spirit Sect, the power of these two Sword Techniques nearly doubles!
