Chapter 337: Chapter 341: For the Demon (Part 3)

At this moment, her snake body had been reshaped.

Each scale gleamed with luster.

Originally, only two tiny, sharp horns had emerged; now, they had abruptly grown a good length.

From her lower abdomen, four legs had grown as well, and she was now a significant step closer to her goal of transforming into a Jiao.

As the yin energy around her was turned into Chaos Qi and absorbed by Su Li, the water in the pond became clear, turning into a transparent and clean appearance.

Consequently, several green plants sprouted around the previously barren Ancient Pond.

Such a commotion naturally drew the attention of many Great Demons, Taoists, and Mages.

Su Li could feel several powerful presences rapidly heading her way.

Given her current Realm, she would have more than enough capacity to deal with these people, but Su Li still found it troublesome.

She frowned and, with a single movement, disappeared from the spot.

"Are you sure the sensation you felt was from here?"

"There’s no mistake, it must be the birth of a Demon King... but why is there no trace left at all?"

A male and a female demon, exuding an aura of demon energy, appeared where Su Li had just left.

"This is bad, the Taoists from Ziwei Temple are here, let’s get out of here quickly."

The two demons were infuriated. Following the signals, they had thought that a formidable new Demon King would emerge in the Demon Realm, but before they could even find the person, the Niu Bizi Taoists were already on their heels.

Now, the Demon Realm was in a weakened state. Not only were they oppressed by the Gods and Buddhas, but the Taoists from the Human World also hunted them, and there was continuous infighting within the Demon Realm too.

They had long been unable to make ends meet.

The more powerful Demon Kings were either captured or killed by those in the Ninth Layer Heaven, and the little demons, before they even had a chance to grow, became the slain souls under the Mages’ swords, their bones and skins contributed as well.

The heavens sought to destroy demons...

Su Li was completely unaware of what had happened after she left. She found another place rich in Spiritual Energy and began cultivating again.

As for the green snake demon who betrayed the original owner for true love and righteousness, it still, as the original owner remembered, met the Handsome Scholar and fell for him at first sight.

In order to monopolize him, she used means to lay his fiancée bedridden, only to be discovered by a Taoist for her Demon Body, and subsequently hunted by Chang Daizi of the Ziwei Temple.

Inside the dilapidated and gloomy temple, Cuicui was in a sorry state, with blood and grime stuck to her cheeks.

She panted heavily, weakly leaning against the collapsed Buddha statue, occasionally grimacing and biting her pallid lips to suppress the moans of pain she wanted to cry out.

Cuicui felt greatly wronged; it was just a harmless little prank, yet they were so vicious and even called over Niu Bizi to beat her.

She had narrowly escaped death.

Cuicui looked at the sword-inflicted wounds all over her body, especially the fatal one in her chest pierced by a sword.

Though she had pulled the broken sword out, the lingering Sword Qi clung to her bones, incessantly corroding the wound and causing her unbearable pain.

From a young age, she had never suffered such hardship nor such a great loss.

Cuicui once again used her index finger to trace a mysterious talismanic shape in the air.

The talismanic shape flickered a few times and then turned into green smoke that circled around her twice before finally dissipating into tiny, sparkling lights.

This was a special communication method given to them by their sister.

Earlier, she had already contacted Xiao Bai, Mao Mao, and Caiye, her friends, but she had yet to receive any response for a long time.

And with Niu Bizi pursuing her relentlessly, not content with having seriously wounded her, Cuicui realized in horror from his gaze that the Taoist was actually after her life.

At that moment, she had already taken out all the life-saving methods her sister had given her, which had only slightly slowed down the Taoist’s pursuit.

Cuicui clenched her teeth so hard they almost shattered...

Once she reunited with her few sisters, she was determined to make that Niu Bizi Taoist suffer.

Cuicui was filled with both hatred and annoyance, her face showing various changes.

Internally, she was pondering how to take revenge once her sister arrived.

However, this wait lasted an entire day and night.

Not only did the sisters on the mountain fail to appear, but even the sister she dearly longed for showed no sign.

"Demon beast, see where you can flee..."

A sound as loud as gongs, drums, and thunder accompanied a majestic Sword Qi, appeared outside the dilapidated temple.

Cuicui’s reinforcements were nowhere to be seen, but the Niu Bizi Taoist had already caught up.

With one slash, the temple was split in half, revealing the dusty and ruined interior.

With no time to wonder why her sister and the other girls had not shown up, Cuicui covered her wound and awkwardly dodged the fierce attack.

She rolled on the ground several times, her hairpin scattering on the ground, her hair coming loose and falling over her shoulders, far from her usual graceful and lively appearance.

Her bloodshot eyes turned into vertical pupils, and two fangs emerged from her mouth as she glared hatefully at the Taoist standing in the air on his sword.

"Niu Bizi Taoist, I’ve already admitted my mistake, why do you still relentlessly pursue me?"

Chang Daizi, clad in his Daoist robe billowing in the wind, stroked his short beard and scoffed, "Beasts will be beasts, devoid of ethics and morals... Coveting someone’s fiancé and trying to take his place is not enough; you even caused the young lady to become weak and sickly. In time, there would be no cure for her."

Cuicui pressed her lips together, feeling somewhat guilty, and retorted stubbornly, "I’ve said it was unintentional, just a little bit of demon energy to ease her burden, is it necessary for you to be so violent?"

"Besides, Xiao Lang and I are genuinely in love, our affection mutual... It’s Mu Xiu’er who’s the third party between us."

The Taoist coldly countered the green snake demon’s defense, "Spurious arguments... As a demon, how could you not know the harm your demon energy does to humans?"

"Miss Mu’s foundation has already been damaged, affecting her lifespan..."

"Death awaits you."

The Taoist harbored prejudice against demons and, having said his piece, swung his sword towards Cuicui.

"Today I shall take your Demon Core to prevent you from causing harm to the Mortal World."

Cuicui desperately dodged the Taoist’s strikes, injuring one hand in the process, and screamed, "My sister is Lian Mountain’s Black Lady... If you treat me like this, she will come and you will regret it."

The green snake Little Demon was thought to be merely a minor demon from the wilderness; unexpectedly, she had a connection to the Black Lady.

Caught off guard, Chang Daizi let Cuicui find an opportunity to escape, even at the cost of self-harm.

Chang Daizi wanted to pursue further but was thrown into disarray by the mention of the Black Lady from the green snake demon’s mouth and had to give up.

He did not quite believe the words of the deceitful green snake demon.

The Black Lady had a known foundation in Ziwei Temple and was a Great Demon of considerable strength in the Demon Realm. However, she was also well-known as a Good Demon who had never caused harm to the Mortal World.

There were those in the Daoist Temple who argued for her elimination, yet they always lacked an excuse.

Most importantly, her abilities were extraordinary, so without absolute certainty, no one dared to mount an attack on her mountain.

Chang Daizi hadn’t expected to encounter a little demon under her command this time.

Yet, he was somewhat afraid, worrying that the Little Demon’s words might be true and that the Black Lady would soon arrive...

Gritting his teeth, Chang Daizi pulled out a Fire Letter from his bosom and sent a spray of colorful fireworks into the sky.

With a loud "bang," a splendid talismanic shape burst forth, the very symbol of Ziwei Temple.
