Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 983 - 101: Demon Clan Summoner

The voice was unfamiliar. After searching among the crowd for a moment, Yue Jinghua only saw a green-skinned woman from the Sea Demon Clan staring at her.

Just as she was recalling where she had seen this woman before, the woman winked at Yue Jinghua.

Yue Jinghua noticed her gaze and quickly recognized that the unfamiliar woman was the disguised Jue Xin.

Jue Xin, as the Clan Leader of the Sea Demon Clan, naturally stood out.

So when she sneaked into the Second Demon Consort’s Sea Pavilion, she used a Secret Technique to change her skin color and voice, almost fooling even Yue Jinghua.

Both being cautious individuals, although they recognized each other, they dared not speak openly and instead used Spiritual Sense to communicate secretly.

A hundred years had passed, and when Jue Xin heard the news of Yue Jinghua’s unexpected "fall" in the Dimension Battlefield, she felt endless regret.

In her view, Yue Jinghua was one of the rare people among the Alien Race with whom she could bond.

If it weren’t for Yue Jinghua, it would have been difficult for her to avenge her mother, Jue Shang.

After a brief reflection, the two immediately began discussing the Sea Pavilion and the Second Demon Consort’s recent actions of selling members of the Sea Demon Clan.

"The Second Demon Consort truly is disgraceful. Her maternal clan was originally a branch of the Sea Demon Clan. Taking advantage of my mother’s incident, she incited some small tribes to become independent, claiming they no longer belonged to the Sea Demon Clan. Now, for profit, she seeks to annihilate the Sea Demon Clan. Truly despicable," Jue Xin deeply hated the Second Demon Consort’s evil deeds.

According to Jue Xin, she was brought into this transparent room, resembling a four-sided glass tank, two days before Yue Jinghua and others. She originally planned to blend into the Linglong Sea Pavilion, find an opportunity to ambush the Second Demon Consort, rescue the other imprisoned clansmen, and expose the Second Demon Consort’s hypocrisy.

"I initially thought the same way, considering that there were no Demon Soldiers guarding this area, the Second Demon Consort was being overly careless," Yue Jinghua noted the defense of the Linglong Sea Pavilion was absurdly weak compared to other heavily guarded regions of the Demon Clan.

However, on the night Jue Xin was imprisoned, an incident occurred that completely changed this foolish notion.

As the Clan Leader of the Sea Demon Clan, Jue Xin was meticulous and very cautious. Although she hadn’t discovered any heavy guard around, she planned to observe another day, waiting for changes.

Yet, a few members of the Haima Tribe captured alongside her couldn’t wait.

They attempted to escape quietly under the cover of night.

"Who would have thought, as soon as they left the room..." reminiscing about that moment, Jue Xin paused.

Her beautiful eyes instinctively looked out in fear.

Yue Jinghua and the others also followed her gaze outside.

Outside the transparent walls, a group of triangular, beautifully patterned small fish swam by.

There were many small fish, densely packed, moving as one, swimming close along the transparent walls.

"Guess what I saw? The few strong Haima men, after unlocking the Dark Array Shackles on their hands, quickly swam out. Just at that moment, a group of Netherworld Queen Fish swam by, and in the blink of an eye, those Haima men disappeared before my eyes, not even leaving bones," Jue Xin stared in disbelief at the disappearance of the Haima men.

If not for the blood dispersing in the water, Jue Xin would never have believed that the Haima men had vanished.

"The Second Demon Consort’s clan, the Dark Demon Clan, worships an Ancient Sea Demon called the Yinji Jellyfish. This Sea Demon is characterized by its symbiotic existence with the small fish known as the Netherworld Queen Fish. The Netherworld Queen Fish attracts prey for the Yinji Jellyfish and serves as its eyes, monitoring the movements of its natural enemies." Jue Xin’s entire grand plan fell through because of this.

In the vicinity, the number of Netherworld Queen Fish is at least a million or tens of millions, far more effective than tens of thousands of Demon Clan Guards.

The Second Dark Demon Empress’s greatest skill is being the last one capable of controlling the Netherworld Queen Fish, which is why she’s also known as the "Summoner" within the Demon Clan.

In fact, the Second Prince of Dark Demon partially inherited his mother, Second Demon Consort’s talent. However, he was overly arrogant, and the areas where the Netherworld Queen Fish can move are in water. The Second Prince of Dark Demon tried to defeat Four Symbols City on land, and thus met his downfall.

Jue Xin thought that after she disclosed this, Yue Jinghua would also show signs of retreat. Who knew she would look delighted as if she’d stumbled upon a great opportunity.

Jue Xin didn’t understand that upon hearing this, Yue Jinghua’s heart sneered, thinking how ridiculous it was to call oneself a summoner just for being able to control a single type of Netherworld Queen Fish. The Second Demon Consort was even more misguided than her short-lived son.

Only those who understand the craft can make real mistakes, the Second Demon Consort didn’t realize she was showing off her limited skills before true masters, and a real Summoner has arrived.

Yue Jinghua was certain that solely relying on the Second Demon Consort, it was impossible to control so many Netherworld Queen Fish.

Even for a Summoner, like Yue Jinghua herself as a Gold Summoner, she couldn’t simultaneously control a million or ten million Dark Beasts.

For the Second Demon Consort to control all the Netherworld Queen Fish must involve one possibility, which Yue Jinghua knew since her time in Fengdan County.

The so-called strategy of shooting the man to shoot the horse first or catching the thief to catch the king first, faced with the vast number of giant-winged mosquitoes in Fengdan County, Yue Jinghua’s method of control involved using the giant-winged mosquito to command subordinate mosquitoes.

This method, step by step, reduced the number of Dark Beast Demons she needed to control to a ratio of one to a thousand at her highest control ability.

The Second Demon Consort is not a proper Summoner. Yue Jinghua guessed she might only control a small number, possibly even just a King Fish, thereby achieving control over the other fish.

Yue Jinghua didn’t spell this out. Instead, she suggested that for the next few days, they should wait for the Second Demon Consort to personally select people before taking action.

She decided to use this limited time to quickly identify the true leader among the Netherworld Queen Fish. By doing so, when the opportunity arises, she could form a contract with that King Fish, directly controlling the Netherworld Queen Fish as a whole.

While Yue Jinghua exercised a great deal of spiritual power, searching for the fish of decisive importance,

news came from the Second Demon Consort’s side that the recent plundering had yielded considerable gains, having found several Sea Witches of excellent appearance and lineage.

"Tomorrow, this Demon Consort will personally go to the Linglong Water Prison to select Sea Witches," announced the Second Demon Consort, just when Yue Jinghua’s search for the King Fish yielded disappointing results.

No matter how Yue Jinghua searched, she couldn’t find the so-called King Fish.
