Chapter 1024: 469: Tears of the Demon! Marry Suo Ningbing! (Important)

"Found the World-Ending Demon Emperor?" Poluo Sha asked. "With what did you find the World-Ending Demon Emperor?"

"Devil’s Tears," Fu Lingxi said.

Poluo Sha’s eyes trembled as he said, "You found the Devil’s Tears? The ones belonging to Ashi Luo?"

"Yes," Fu Lingxi said.

Poluo Sha said, "Huai Bingyi and Ji Xiuning’s faction sent out tens of thousands of people to search, but none have found Ashi Luo’s share of the Devil’s Tears. How were you able to find it?"

Fu Lingxi said, "Because none of them understood Ashi Luo well enough. They all thought he was very complicated, and assumed he would hide something as important as the Devil’s Tears in the most secretive and intricate location. However, Ashi Luo is a spontaneous person. Despite his extreme intelligence, he’s too lazy to use his brain. He acts impulsively without thorough planning, and while I was undercover by his side, nearly all elaborate schemes were made by me."

Poluo Sha nodded and said, "Continue."

Fu Lingxi said, "Furthermore, Ashi Luo is a person filled with a destructive inclination; he would do anything he set his mind to, at any cost. And subconsciously, he hoped to fail. Thus, even though he was intent on becoming a Hell Knight, it was also a self-destructive desire. At the time, he did not truly believe in the World-Ending Demon Emperor, only firming his dark faith moments before his death."

Poluo Sha uttered a response, "Go on."

Fu Lingxi said, "Therefore, based on these characteristics, I deduced he wouldn’t hide the Devil’s Tears in a very intricate or secretive place. Of course, he wouldn’t just leave it lying around at home for anyone to see. According to his nature, he might have hidden the Devil’s Tears inside the body of a woman. Unfortunately, that would still lead to its expulsion, so that option was ruled out. Then it occurred to me, Ashi Luo had a certain sentiment towards dried-up wells."

"Dried-up well sentiment?" Poluo Sha asked with confusion.

"Yes, dried-up well sentiment," said Fu Lingxi. "It might be related to his experiences on the Demon Continent. Despite his wealth, he often likes to live at the bottom of wells, sleeping in the mud, as if enjoying the seclusion and the suffocating feeling. Not only that, once out of jealousy toward his sister’s husband, Priest Yan Ping, he poisoned Yan Ping’s hometown, causing people within dozens of miles to succumb to plague. The places he poisoned were mostly wells."

Poluo Sha said, "So you concluded that Ashi Luo would hide the Devil’s Tears in a dried-up well?"

"Right," Fu Lingxi said. "On his several thousand-mile journey from Luan Yang City back to Rouran City, he traveled day and night without rest. Even when sleepy, he wouldn’t stay in inns, instead finding a dried-up well to doze off. Given his impulsive nature, it’s likely he’d hide the Devil’s Tears in one of those wells by chance. So while the Radiant Faction racked their brains searching for complex and secretive places, I sent people from Luan Yang City to follow Ashi Luo’s route, searching every dried-up well along the way."

Poluo Sha said, "You did not use the people from Dragon Temple."

"No," Fu Lingxi said. "I was worried they’d be discovered by the Radiant Faction."

Poluo Sha said, "It’s the Void Faction; they’re not radiant, just foolish."

The Radiant Faction and the Heretical Faction are the names given by Ji Xiuning’s side, positioning themselves as the righteous and the opposite as the evil.

Within the Heretical Faction, they refer to the Radiant Faction as the Void Faction, branding themselves as the ruling faction.

However, many members within the Heretical Faction feel that their own faction’s name carries more prestige, and over time, they started to use the names given by the Radiant Faction as well.

As the leader of the faction, Poluo Sha did not wish for this. Why allow the opposition to be defined as righteous from the beginning while branding themselves as evil?

"Yes!" said Fu Lingxi. "Fearing discovery by the Void Faction, I utilised people from Baihuo City’s the Fu Family to search. They didn’t know exactly what I was looking for, just something mysterious. Eventually, twenty-some days ago, they found the Devil’s Tears in a dried-up well in an impoverished village 1,352 miles away from Rouran City. At that time, Zhi Li had just been defeated, and the assassination of the King of Nu Wave had not yet occurred."

Let’s turn back the clock to twenty-some days ago!

At that time, Fang Qingzhuo and Zhi Ning, mother and daughter, were imprisoned in a secret chamber underneath a high tower of Zhi Du Sanctuary.

Grand Eunuch Gao Yin sought to visit Fu Lingxi, pleading with her to rescue the baby (the child of Suo Lun). Fu Lingxi had agreed at the time.

Following Zhi Li’s major defeat, with Suo Lun’s power on the rise, and with Fu Lingxi’s search for the Devil’s Tears yielding no results, in order to avoid Suo Lun’s vengeance, she planned to rescue the baby to soften relations with Suo Lun.

Therefore, Fu Lingxi went to the underground chamber to meet Zhi Ning and took away the baby.

However, just as she was about to leave the chamber with the baby, someone entered and whispered a sentence in her ear.

Fu Lingxi turned back, returned the baby to Zhi Ning, and said she was powerless and could not save the baby.

When she heard this sentence, Fu Lingxi’s body trembled with excitement and agitation.

For the person had said: The item you seek has been found in a dried-up well; it is a vial of blue drops.
