This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered
Chapter 263 - 255: You’re the One I’ve Calculated, Kid!

Chapter 263: Chapter 255: You’re the One I’ve Calculated, Kid!

Approximately fifty to sixty feet high, an oval-shaped huge dome rotated in the air several times before spewing out two beams of light.

As the lights and shadows moved, the two figures had already landed smoothly in front of Chen Hua and others.

He Zhiqing and Ke Mengzhan looked at each other, having already guessed the identities of these two people, but both were somewhat speechless. Isn’t this too flashy? The phrase "shining brilliantly" is not merely an adjective here.

Su Youyi was already happily bouncing over to one of them, her face full of joy as she hugged Liang Yi.

The moment Su Youyi embraced Liang Yi, the light on Liang Yi and Purple Xuan’s bodies completely transformed into granular light fog and dissipated, revealing their true appearances.

"It’s only been a short while," Liang Yi affectionately patted the junior sister clinging to him, reminding her to be mindful of her image since so many people were watching.

Only then did Su Youyi remember her master was there, frightfully slipping down from her senior brother’s embrace, her little face flushed as she hid behind Liang Yi, not daring to look at others.

Chen Hua, on the other hand, was beaming with joy. Could it be that his foolish disciple has finally gotten smart? This was even more delightful than his own progress in cultivation! Later, he must trick Zhou Yuzhi into bringing out some of his treasured Snow Lotus Brew for a couple of drinks!

"Achoo!" Zhou Yu suddenly sneezed out of nowhere, startling Ke Mengzhan.

After sniffing, Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes, his gaze locking onto Chen Hua directly.

He was already in the Eighth Realm and still sneezing, which could only mean one thing—that dog Chen Hua was back to his old tricks of scheming against him! Even though he didn’t have Fang Zhi’s talent for divination, his instincts in this regard were infallibly accurate.

"Hmm? Fang Old Head, just come out if you’re here. You think I can’t see you just because you’re hiding?" Chen Hua suddenly raised an eyebrow, a sinister smile forming on his lips as he launched a sword strike towards an empty spot in the void.

The Sword Qi was magnificent, rallying the winds and snow to its command. One strike colder than winter itself, chilling to the heart!

As the Sword Qi neared the void, a pale golden divination disk shadow grew from small to large, enveloping the Sword Qi within. And the Sword Qi, as if drunk, staggeringly turned its head and slashed towards Chen Hua.

"Hey, Chen Hua, you damn dog, that was a really vicious move!" A familiar voice, tinged with a hint of pride, emerged from the void as Fang Zhi’s figure, wrapped in starlight, gradually solidified from illusion to reality.

"Just reversing a bit of my Sword Qi, and look how proud you are," Chen Hua instantly noticed that Fang Zhi had successfully advanced to the Eighth Realm, which is why he dared to be so cocky.

"Zhou Yuzhi, why don’t we team up again today and give Chen Hua a good beating?" Fang Zhi’s body was dotted with starlight. Despite the heavy snow, countless constellations in the heavens still shone in concert with him, exuding irresistible charisma.

What a pity that he ruined it the moment he opened his mouth.

Upon hearing Fang Zhi’s proposition, Zhou Yu did feel somewhat tempted, but after pondering for a long time, he ultimately shook his head. The stronger he got, the clearer he understood Chen Hua’s strength. Even if he teamed up with Fang Zhi, it was unlikely they would cause Chen Hua much trouble.

If they were to beat him, they had to go all out. If they couldn’t knock down Chen Hua, then there was little point in fighting.

"You better pay attention to what’s in front of you."

Seeing Fang Zhi, still optimistic, Zhou Yu still felt compelled to give a friendly reminder out of years of camaraderie.

Did Fang Zhi really think that dog Chen Hua, with his evil heart and even darker hands, would let him have his way?

After hearing his good brother’s words, Fang Zhi was taken aback and his slightly swelled ego cooled down immediately. What Zhou Yuzhi said was right!

Looking at Chen Hua, who remained unruffled and wore a smile on his lips, Fang Zhi felt there had to be a catch...

He immediately used the Starlight Illumination Technique to investigate the area for a hundred miles around him. Without this investigation, he would not have known, but the investigation gave him such a fright.

Countless Sword Qi, imperceptible without close observation even by someone of his Realm, had densely spread throughout his surroundings. He had countered one strike, but Chen Hua had actually launched hundreds upon thousands.

"Chen Hua, you damn mother, that’s a really nasty move!"

After shouting angrily, Fang Zhi felt deflated, feeling that the gap between them was widening. Could it be true that there’s a bonus for good looks?

He lost this small exchange after all.

"C’mon over, the Snow Lotus Brew from Zhou Yuzhi is ready!" Chen Hua waved his hand, dispersing the Sword Qi, his tone full of mirth as he beckoned Fang Zhi over.

"???" Zhou Yu was full of question marks. Since when did he agree to treat these two dogs to a drink? And they expected to drink his Snow Lotus Brew that has been treasured for many years? As if they deserve it!

"Wow, have I just arrived in time for Zhou Yuzhi’s once-in-a-millennium generous moment?" Fang Zhi laughed upon hearing this. Was the last time Zhou Yuzhi offered a drink a few hundred years ago?

Zhou Yu was so angry he almost wanted to draw his sword and chop down the two men, but then he thought better of it with so many juniors watching. The Sword Master’s demeanor must be maintained, so he had no choice but to pinch his nose and accept the situation.

"Master!"

"Father!"

Seeing Fang Zhi’s arrival, both He Zhiqing and Yu Gejing were somewhat surprised.

"Is everything okay now?" Fang Zhi looked at Yu Gejing lovingly, his tone gentle.

He Zhiqing suddenly realized—his Master must have sensed his sister’s life-and-death crisis.

"It’s all fine now, thanks to He junior brother and Liang junior brother for rescuing me." Yu Gejing shook her head, signaling she was all right now.

Seeing Fang Zhi rush over in such haste, an uncontrollable sense of emotion surfaced within Yu Gejing’s heart, and he stood silently and obediently by Fang Zhi’s side.

Fang Zhi smiled silently.

He had just finished a closed-door cultivation session attempting to break through to the Eighth Realm in his sect. As soon as it ended, he felt an unsettling premonition in his mind. Upon divining, it turned out that his daughter and disciple were in a life-and-death crisis, and there was even a vague force obscuring this slice of the Heavenly Mechanism.

How could Fang Zhi sit still? Using the Cycle Escape Technique with all his might, he harnessed the Power of the Stars and hurried towards the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool. Along the way, he even thought of sending a message to Zhou Yuzhi, asking him to quickly rescue his precious daughter and disciple.

However, before he could send the message, the sense of panic had vanished, and upon divination, he found his daughter and disciple had already escaped danger. Fang Zhi was somewhat frustrated — this wasn’t quite right.

It wasn’t that he would rush to rescue them whenever his apprentice or daughter encountered danger, but the situation should be dire enough to warrant his personal intervention.

Even though the divination was somewhat inaccurate due to the mysterious power’s influence, Fang Zhi could still tell that it was an urgent situation at the time, which was why he hastily made for the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool.

But as he rushed over, the crisis resolved itself. Certainly, there was an external intervention, but what kind of external force could prevent Fang Zhi from calculating the outcome?

The first possibility was a force far superior to Fang Zhi, and also an expert in the Art of Divination. In the current Cultivation World, there are those stronger than Fang Zhi, like Chen Hua, and those skilled in divination, like the Walnut of Senluo Sect. But none possess both qualities.

The second possibility is that youngster Liang Yi was present.

Liang Yi truly was a born nemesis to the Art of Divination; weaker strengths could not be calculated at all, and he would foil divination even at a distance, just as annoying as his master.

"Master, I have something I’d like to discuss with you."

On the other side, Liang Yi, who led Su Youyi to Chen Hua’s side, spoke softly.

"Hmm? What is it?" Chen Hua looked at his two beloved disciples with an amused smile.

Liang Yi had a thick skin and remained unfazed by any change, while Su Youyi felt a bit embarrassed under her master’s gaze.

"It’s about some matters in the Secret Realm related to the Purple Cloud Sect."

"That person over there must be a senior from the Purple Cloud Sect, correct?" Chen Hua was also curious about the events in the Secret Realm, and the thin, elderly man smiling at him faintly from afar next to the sphere of pool light struck him as extraordinary.

"Indeed, I belong to the Purple Cloud Sect; I presume you must be Liang Yi’s master?"

While Chen Hua scrutinized Zixuan Bu, Zixuan Bu also observed Chen Hua.

In the Secret Realm, he had heard about him from Liang Yi — the current Sect Master of the Taoist Sect and the mentor of exceptional talents like Liang Yi and Su Youyi.

In just over two months, the brother and sister pair, Liang Yi and Su Youyi, kept shattering Zixuan Bu’s notion of genius time after time. None of the Chief disciples from the past generations of the Purple Cloud Sect could compare with either of them.

Who then was Chen Hua, the cultivator who could nurture such exceptional disciples and carry on the mantle of the Taoist Sect?

"Truly worthy of being called Banished Immortal, as legendary as they say!" Zixuan Bu’s eyes showed admiration, without a trace of the pride expected from a senior.

In terms of cultivation Realm, both Chen Hua and he were at the Eighth Realm. As for strength, even from the perspective of an Eighth Realm pinnacle, Zixuan Bu found it somewhat challenging to discern Chen Hua’s exact level of cultivation, and sensed a lethal threat emanating from him.

"The waves of the Yangtze River push forward those before them!" Zixuan Bu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Back when their epoch began, the upper limit of cultivation Realm was constrained to the peak of the Eighth Realm due to the incompleteness of the Heavenly Dao, whereas in this epoch, the situation worsened, leaving only seven Realms.

Yet, even so, Chen Hua relentlessly broke through thorns, undeterred by the cut-off path ahead, tirelessly accumulating his own foundation in anticipation of surging towards higher peaks.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have reached such heights in such a short time.

But compared to their Second Epoch, things were still better now as there now lay hope for further ascent, and the broken Immortal Path was being restored. Without a doubt, Chen Hua was the strongest of this epoch.

"The two junior disciples have been under the care of this senior within the Secret Realm," remarked Chen Hua, noticing the change in Su Youyi’s being, which bore the Conception of the most orthodox lineage of the Purple Cloud Sect.

"This isn’t a place for guests to chat; come with me!" As the host, Zhou Yuzhi naturally wouldn’t let his visitors stand and talk in the icy and snowy conditions. He called out to attract everyone’s attention and said.

"That’s fine." Chen Hua and Fang Zhi had no objections, and Liang Yi among the youngsters had even fewer reservations.

"How about heading to Fuhua Palace?"

Just as the crowd was getting ready to move, Fang Zhi suddenly proposed.

"Hmm, I think that’s a good idea." Chen Hua nodded in agreement with a smile, also looking towards Zhou Yuzhi.

Zhou Yuzhi’s face stiffened for a moment; his palm loosened then clenched, clenched, then loosened, eventually resisting the urge to draw his sword and decapitate the two and uttered with a strained smile:

"Alright."

Had he known, he would never have accepted the drink Fang Zhi offered that one time; in his drunken state, he accidentally revealed the location of the Snow Lotus Brew.

"Please give me a moment," requested Liang Yi apologetically.

At that moment, except for Zixuan Bu who was in a state of confusion, Liang Yi directly returned to the extracted piece of the Secret Realm.
