Chapter 688 - Changing the Demonic Source (2/2)

“Huh? Ah!” Yu Luan hesitated and glanced at Shu Yi, who was still standing there. Then, he turned to Yi Qing, who had not spoken all these while. “But this situation…” Did they really not require assistance?

“Don’t worry, it’ll be alright. After all…” He looked up at the sky and said a little louder, “It’s almost lunch time?”

Lunch!

(⊙_⊙)

Shen Ying, who had been very into the acting, suddenly stiffened. Her expression darkened as she shouted, “Chef!” This time, she sounded more emotional than she did before.

“Yes, Master!” Yi Qing nodded. He did not even hesitate for a second. Clearly unworried about the situation, he ran in the kitchen. Soon, the sound of pots and pans clanging together sounded. He was cooking. Even now, Shen Ying did not forget to add one line.

“Cook a fish at noon – I want it barbequed!”

“Yes, Master! No problem, Master!”

Zuo Shuming: “…”

Shu Yi: “…”

Everyone: “…”

Huh?

What’s going on! Shouldn’t they worry about saving her first! Why was Yi Qing cooking at this moment!

“Are you playing me?” Shu Yi asked. Her expression began to twist. The demonic Qi around her body was surging by now. She turned to grab at Zuo Shuming. A burst of demonic Qi shot toward him. Zuo Shuming was just about to be hit by it.

Lonemoon’s expression darkened as he activated his God Power and raised his sword. Suddenly, a burst of sword Qi rushed forward to meet the demonic Qi. There was a loud crash. The black demonic Qi dissipated at once. The sword Qi continued to head toward Shu Yi.

Shu Yi was completely unprepared for the strength of the sword Qi. When it hit her, she was pushed back several steps with Shen Ying in tow. When she finally stabilised herself, she looked up at Lonemoon in disbelief. “You… You’re a Soul Formation cultivator as well!”

Lonemoon frowned. He was too lazy to carry on acting anyway. He quickly adjusted his cultivation level to that of a Soul Formation cultivator’s, and then caused a huge suppressive force to press down on Shu Yi.

Zuo Shuming and Yu Luan were shocked stiff. Both of them turned to Lonemoon at the same time.

“Brother… Brother Lonemoon!” Zuo Shuming stared blankly at him. It was a long time before he finally composed himself. It was no wonder that even after he passed Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment and even Core Formation, he was still no match for Lonemoon. Each time he trained, he would fall at Lonemoon’s feet. So it was because Brother Lonemoon was a Soul Formation cultivator!

It was then that Yu Luan finally began to understand as well. It was no wonder that Uncle-Master Tian Yi favoured this Foundation Establishment disciple so much. Could it be that Uncle-Master Tian Yi already knew about this a long time ago?

“You’ve been hiding your cultivation level! You’re really despicable!” Shu Yi glared at Lonemoon, her gaze full of hatred. He had been hiding by Zuo Shuming’s side. That explained why all her plans fell through in the end. The more she thought about it, the more the hatred welled up inside her. As if recalling something, her eyes immediately turned red and the demonic Qi in her body intensified. She looked at Shen Ying, who by now had resumed chewing her fruits. She laughed sarcastically and said, “You’re really a mortal at the end of the day. That’s why you don’t belong to any sect. But even without Yi Qing, I’m going to destroy Gui Yi Sect.”

Yu Luan heard the hidden meaning in Shu Yi’s words. His chest tightened as he asked, “What do you mean?”

Shu Yi grinned and responded, “Do you really think that I’ve been doing nothing but combining the various demonic sects while I have been in Skyfiend Sect all these years?”

Zuo Shuming paled. “What else do you have up your sleeve?”

The demonic Qi around Shu Yi suddenly exploded. She became engulfed in demonic Qi, so that none of them could make out her figure any more. The sky instantly became darker. Grey clouds blew toward Nameless Mountain as the ground began to shake. The spirit herbs which filled the ground were now wilting before their very eyes. In fact, the entire mountain was turning a dead brown.

Something huge seemed to be trying to break out of the ground. Its presence caused all of their hearts to turn cold. It was like she had just awakened something frightening.

“This is.. the spirit meridian?” Yu Luan looked down at the black thing popping out of the ground. But it was demonic Qi. “Could it be…”

“The demonic source!” Lonemoon exclaimed. Immortal cultivators had the spirit meridian, but demonic cultivators had the demonic source.

Everybody sucked in a sharp breath collectively. Suddenly, they recalled the array that Shu Yi had set up at the base of the mountain. It looked like a Binding Array, but the demonic Qi was obviously charging toward the ground. So she had not just set up the array for fun – she was taking the chance to turn the spirit meridian in the mountain into a demonic source. She came here to capture Lady Shen just to buy time for the demonic source to form!

Shu Yi’s expression hardened. Emphasising each word, she shouted, “I’m going to kill all of you!”
