"Who?"
Unlike the Light Spiritual Cultivation and Heavy Profound Skill on the Canglong Continent, the spiritual power cultivation of the Demon Clan sent as the Vanguard Army to ambush around Four Symbols City was quite advanced. Even though Yue Jinghua used Pu’s Concealnt, she was discovered as soon as she approached.
Yue Jinghua lowered her voice, mimicking the tone of that Dark Artifact Master, "It’s , Dark Demon Sixty-Seven."
Unlike the Human Race, most of the Demon Clan do not have nas. Only those with noble blood or mbers of the Huang Family have nas.
The Dark Artifact Master killed by Yue Jinghua had no specific na, the number "Sixty-Seven" on his ring was his na.
"Dark Demon Sixty-Seven? You were out all night last night, where did you go? Did you find the batch of Hidden Deer Antlers you lost?" Each mber of the Dark Demon Army is allocated a certain amount of poison and hidden weapons. If lost, it’s like a policeman losing a gun or a soldier losing a standardized weapon—they will be punished.
"I found them all. They were discovered by a few Four Symbols City garrison troops, and I’ve already killed them," Yue Jinghua said viciously, pretending to yawn. "Two brothers, I was busy all night, I’m exhausted, and I want to go back to the camp for a nap."
"Go on in," the two Dark Demon Army soldiers let Yue Jinghua in. Little did they know, as soon as she entered the camp, she felt a strong spiritual power approaching her.
"Stop," a lazy yet slightly cold female voice stopped Yue Jinghua. She broke out in a cold sweat. The newcor had imasurable strength, and with Yue Jinghua’s abilities, she could not discern the other’s specific cultivation. It seed that this person was the captain of this Dark Demon vanguard.
"Master Hong Lei," Yue Jinghua only heard the two guards greet respectfully.
This Demon Clan mber had a na and surna, suggesting a high birth and significant status within the Demon Clan.
Despite not seeing her exact form, relying on spiritual power detection, Yue Jinghua gauged that this woman’s figure was slender and her movents were agile.
She stopped for no reason, could it be that I accidentally revealed so flaw? Yue Jinghua forced herself to remain calm.
"Last night, Dark Demon Forty and Dark Demon Fifty-Eight were ambushed while exploring outside. This is the third Dark Demon Army attack within three days. I suspect soone has infiltrated our camp, giving the Four Symbols City garrison an opportunity. We need to be on high alert, and everyone must be checked with the Sacrificial Evil Stone," the woman nad Hong Lei, born into the Demon Clan noble, was also the right hand of the Second Prince of Dark Demon, experienced in inspection, tracking, and stealth attacks.
This is bad, the Demon Clan even has a detection device.
Yue Jinghua inwardly exclaid this wasn’t good. She knew that this Sacrificial Evil Stone must be a special Demon Stone used to detect if soone carries Evil Qi within the Demon Clan.
Dark Practitioners and the Demon Clan differ; Dark Practitioners absorb Spiritual Energy from nature, whereas the Demon Clan cultivates using the freely floating Evil Qi in the chasm.
Yue Jinghua quickly glanced around, contemplating the chances of escape using "Pu’s Instant" if exposed.
Hong Lei took out a pitch-black stone and gestured for Yue Jinghua to hold it.
Yue Jinghua had no choice but to reach out and grab the stone. As soon as it touched her hand, she felt an excruciatingly cold sensation rapidly perating her palm.
The cold sensation was like a blade piercing her internal organs, causing her blood and hair to bristle instantly.
A sheen of cold sweat appeared on Yue Jinghua’s forehead, rapidly coalescing into ice crystals, covering her body with a layer of frost.
Her blood felt frozen, and Yue Jinghua feared that even the slightest movent might cause her body to shatter like an ice sculpture.
Hong Lei keenly sensed the Evil Qi fluctuations within "Dark Demon Sixty-Seven."
The Sacrificial Evil Stone, a very unique Sha Stone for the Demon Clan, is invaluable, akin to a Demon Beast Dark Pill, enhancing the Demon Clan’s cultivation. For the Dark Practitioner Clan, rarely exposed to Evil Qi, it was a formidable hidden weapon.
The Qi it carried quickly infiltrates one’s internal organs, extrely potent.
Even Dan Realm Experts and above are wary of the Sacrificial Evil Stone, let alone a re Dark Practitioner like Yue Jinghua at the Dark Heavenly Rank.
And it was Yue Jinghua’s first encounter with an upper-level Demon Clan, falling right into their trap.
In desperation, Yue Jinghua instead cald down. She quietly activated her Nine Revolutions Star Creation Technique, only for it to have no effect.
"Dark Demon Sixty-Seven?" Hong Lei skeptically questioned.
"Crack," Yue Jinghua heard a crisp sound by her ear, as if sothing inside her suddenly ruptured.
The chilling Evil Qi brought by the Sacrificial Evil Stone quickly dissipated, and a mysterious dark light emanated from the stone in her hand.
This black light simultaneously indicated her identity as a mber of the Demon Clan.
"Very well, your identity is confird. You may rest inside, but do not leave without the captain’s order during this period," Hong Lei, seeing the Sacrificial Evil Stone light up, dismissed her doubts and took back the stone before leaving.
Yue Jinghua sighed in relief but also felt a sense of strangeness. Where did the Evil Qi in her body co from, capable of even fooling the Sacrificial Evil Stone?
"Perhaps the Sacrificial Evil Stone malfunctioned," Yue Jinghua could not help but hold a hopeful view.
Yue Jinghua was unaware that when the stone’s Evil Qi entered her body, the peculiar Demon Mark shifting from her face to her body had quietly changed after a year of dormancy.
Upon encountering Evil Qi, the vine-like pattern spread swiftly like a cat slling fish, expanding more than twice its size in an instant.
But Yue Jinghua hadn’t noticed any of this. Having infiltrated Dark Demon Sixty-Seven’s tent, she searched inside, only finding a small amount of Corrosive Corpse Pill.
"That noble nad Hong Lei has nearly unfathomable power. If I were to fight, I wouldn’t be her match. It’s hard to confront her alone. I must think of another way," Yue Jinghua racked her brains, yet unexpectedly, her chance soon arrived.
That night, several mbers returning to camp alongside Dark Demon Sixty-Seven shared so news, "The Second Prince’s Pill Master will arrive tomorrow. Then, we’ll have an ample supply of Corrosive Corpse Pill, and it will only be a matter of ti before we eliminate the residents of Four Symbols City."
"Indeed, as soon as the Second Prince seizes Four Symbols City, our Demon Clan can launch a massive attack on Star Continent. Those despicable Human Race Practitioners seized lands belonging to us Demons thousands of years ago. We’ve been patient for nearly ten millennia, finally getting a chance to counterattack," the two Dark Demon Army soldiers chatted energetically, while Yue Jinghua listened quietly, chiming in occasionally. Her awaited opportunity had arrived.
