Chapter 345 - The New Demon King (1/2)

Late into the night.

Invincible Sect, palace wing.

Yu Hong was meditating and managing her breath. Probably due to the strange purple gas that was her body, even after its removal, her body suffered severe injuries. Especially the primordial spirit. Lonemoon only barely managed to suppress it for her before. To recover, she needed to rely on herself.

She let go of her Divine Perception and used her full strength to mobilize her primordial spirit. In a short while, sweat started to appear on her forehead, and her complexion started to pale. The warming of primordial spirit required complete focus, and that was what she did. That’s why she didn’t notice the black gas which suddenly appeared in the room.

The black gas slowly gathered. The air suddenly distorted and silently a tear appeared. A figure came out from the inside. Demonic Qi overflowed from his body and instantly filled the whole room.

Yu Hong finally felt the impact of the demonic Qi and stopped her breath adjustment. Subconsciously, she thought that Lan Hua was there. “Lan…” She looked up, but a wave of demonic Qi went right towards her face. She was shocked, and instantly the protective Dharma artifact on her lightened and stopped the demonic Qi.

Only then did she recognize the person opposite her. That was a man in blue with a black aura all over him. His hair was messy and his eyes were red and crazed. He stared right at her, and hatred filled his eyes.

“It’s you!” Yu Hong was shocked, and immediately she wanted to use the transmission amulet on the side of her body, yet the other person was one step faster. A wave of demonic Qi hit right on her arm. With another wave of his hand, the demonic Qi in the surroundings gathered and formed black ropes, which tied Yu Hong up tightly. Yu Hong felt the immortal powers within her stagnate, and she was unable to mobilize it no matter what she tried. She stared up at the person in front of her. “What on earth do you want?”

That person was the new Demon King. Elders Lonemoon and Yi Qing had already rushed to the Demon World. She didn’t expect him to actually appear here.

“Give me the thing!” The figure turned and went to Yu Hong’s side, dragging her up directly, he started glancing all over hurried. His eyes opened wide, blood-like color inside it. His expression also grew crazier. “Where’s the thing? Why isn’t it here? Where is it?”

“Where is… what?” Yu Hong suffered severe injuries to begin with, and coupled with the erosion of demonic Qi, she had no power to resist.

“The thing that you took! Hurry up and return it to me.” That person asked again.

“I… I didn’t…” Yu Hong was about to rebut before she suddenly remembered something. “You mean the jade hairpin Dharma artifact that Little Black gave to me?” He came to Invincible Sect for that?

“That’s not what you should have taken. Quickly give it to me!” He grabbed her even tighter.

Yu Hong’s look darkened. “So you’ve seen Little Black indeed. Where is he?”

“Hmph! He wants something that does not belong to him. He deserves to die!” The other person grew even angrier. “Give me back the thing!”

“What did you do to him?” Yu Hong grew anxious and started struggling, but she couldn’t get rid of the demonic Qi all over her. “Let me go! That Dharma artifact belonged to the treasure house of Demon Palace. Since when was it yours?”

“That was what you robbed from me. Your whole world are thieves!” As he talked, he grew ever madder, and the demonic Qi over him became even thicker. He looked like he wanted to destroy the heavens and the earth. “Give it back to me!”

“I didn’t! You destroyed that hairpin yourself last time!”

“What happened to the thing inside it?” He asked loudly.

“What?” Yu Hong was stunned. There was something inside the jade hairpin. What was it?

“Where on earth did it go? Where did you hide it?” He asked even more loudly.

“I don’t know what you are talking about! What thing? What are you looking for?”
