Chapter 666: Chapter 630: Demonic-Winged Roc

At this moment, Demon Lord Mingyu felt the fluctuation of Shen Xuan’s spiritual power and gradually subdued her aura.

The aura released just now was comparable to hers.

What Demon Lord Mingyu truly feared was Shen Xuan’s body refining divine art. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Transforming into a Flood Dragon with infinite strength, even the Demon Winged Roc was knocked away by his strike, incredibly shocking.

Demon Lord Mingyu pondered in her heart, no matter what, she couldn’t withstand that golden staff.

The power was truly terrifying.

If she were hit by True Master Profound Ice’s golden staff, she wouldn’t die, but would be severely injured.

"It was truly unexpected to encounter me just now?"

"Really unexpected. Those two are my Dark Star Alliance subordinates, arrogant in their skills, dissatisfied with me, and deliberately teamed up to betray me."

"I intentionally let them fall into the hands of the Fire Cloud Sect. Honestly speaking, merely with the few disappointing ones like Red Fire, they couldn’t hold me back."

Demon Lord Mingyu said proudly.

"So you still engaged in a deal with me, wasting a golden core?"

"Hmm. With Fellow Daoist Profound Ice’s involvement, I saved much trouble, not a waste at all."

Demon Lord Mingyu sighed.

"I originally intended to borrow your strength, both of us joining forces, to teach Red Fire and the others a lesson and make them remember. Unexpectedly, that Demon Winged Roc arrived so quickly!"

Shen Xuan stared at Demon Lord Mingyu, pondering repeatedly in his mind.

Demon Lord Mingyu probably didn’t lie.

If Su Yajing hadn’t come to the Law Enforcement Hall to find him.

He would have left Fire Cloud Immortal City long ago.

Demon Lord Mingyu would not have encountered him here.

Perhaps, this was destiny.

Destiny made him encounter Demon Lord Mingyu.

Destiny made True Master Red Fire and others face this calamity.

In the end, Shen Xuan let her go.

Certainly, there was Wan Meng Demon Lord’s consideration.

The biggest reason was it was unnecessary.

He and Demon Lord Mingyu had no enmity.

Demon Lord Mingyu herself was powerful.

She could access the highest levels of the Dark Star Alliance and Shadow Assassins.

The living Demon Lord Mingyu was more useful to him.

As for Demon Lord Mingyu, prioritizing benefits doesn’t count as a flaw.

This is a common principle among high-tier cultivators.

Many Daoist Sect spirit cultivators appear upright but don’t say it openly.

"Fellow Daoist Mingyu, never deceive me. I am upright and honest, sharing fortune and adversity with friends, but cannot tolerate betrayal or secret scheming from friends."

Shen Xuan said solemnly.

"Involving Fellow Daoist Profound Ice was my unintended mistake. Well then, this treasure shall serve as my apology. It’s a small token, please accept it with a smile, Fellow Daoist Profound Ice."

Demon Lord Mingyu smiled and took out a jade box, inside of which contained two upper grade fire spirit stones, nurturing a cluster of anomalous fire.

"What is this?"

"This was the purple flame yang fire that made True Master Yanghuo famous, refined from the purple flame stone in the fire spirit vein of the Fire Cloud Sect."

Shen Xuan received the jade box, and deeply looked at Demon Lord Mingyu.

"Fellow Daoist Mingyu, take care. I’m leaving first."

Shen Xuan cupped his hands in a salute and submerged into the river.

Then, the sound of a dragon’s song.

A Profound Ice Divine Dragon over thirty feet long, rode the winds and waves, swimming away, eastward to the sea.

Demon Lord Mingyu looked at the blurred silhouette of the dragon that Shen Xuan transformed into, with mixed emotions.

Just now, she felt Shen Xuan’s murderous intent.

If the answer was unsatisfactory, Shen Xuan might have drawn his sword in anger and fought her.

Fortunately, Demon Lord Mingyu sincerely spoke the truth.

Shen Xuan ultimately accepted her apology gift.

"How did True Master Profound Ice’s strength increase so quickly?"

Demon Lord Mingyu thought for a long time but couldn’t figure it out.

She summoned a small boat, floated on the river, and flew alone toward Liang Country.

Only, Demon Lord Mingyu didn’t know.

Shen Xuan didn’t go to the East Sea.

But submerged to the river bottom midway, concealing his breath and becoming invisible, finding a secluded place to go ashore.

Earlier, the Demon Winged Roc took a staff from him and obediently left.

This reassured Shen Xuan.

Though he might not be able to defeat the Demon Winged Roc.

Self-preservation wasn’t an issue.

Shen Xuan looked towards the Fire Cloud Sect.

If he guessed right, True Master Primordial Fire was still trying to form a Nascent Soul.

Disturbed by Demon Lord Mingyu, the success rate greatly decreased.

And that Demon Winged Roc, if it truly is a transformed demonic demon of the Demon Race, most likely would attack True Master Primordial Fire.

"When two tigers fight, one will be injured?"

"Should I go take a look?"

"Maybe, I can reap the spoils?"

If True Master Primordial Fire and the Demon Winged Roc fight.

No matter who wins or loses, Shen Xuan would welcome the outcome.

He might even put in extra effort, step forward to finish off the loser, sending them to the Western Paradise of Bliss.

"Approaching Nascent Soul level Fire Technique Golden Core, transformed demon body of the Great Demons..."

To Shen Xuan, the temptation was truly great.

It would save a lot of detours.

So strong that he couldn’t refuse.

Even if it means taking some risks, it’s worth it.
