Su Junmo sent a glance over the black-robed young man, who was standing leisurely with his arms folded over his chest.
Feeling the gaze, Ji Wujiong’s lips curled up slightly, and he stared back with a cold gleam in his eyes, “What are you looking at for?”
“Could you perhaps want to politely excuse myself so you guys can talk about confidential matters? What’s so secret about it? It’s just the detached manifestation of the demon monarch’s order, isn’t it?” He sneered.
Demon monarch’s order??!!
Detached manifestation?!
What’s on earth going on here?!
Su Junmo was baffled, shocked to find Ji Wujiong said the na so boldly. Sure enough, everyone gasped. Even the human cultivators in the group knew one or two things about the demon monarch’s order. It was a relic that represented the highest authority in the Demon Realm. All demons obeyed its authority and would bow down before the order.
However…why did ng Qi have a demon monarch’s order in her hand?!
Even if it was just a copy, it was still a manifested part of the real order, enough to set off a stormy wave in the Three Realms.
“ng Qiqi.” Ji Wujiong was the only one who remained calm. He raised his chin arrogantly and said with a look of interest on his face, “Do you want to know why they knelt down to you? It’s because you just brought out the detached manifestation of the demon monarch’s order.”
The corner of Ji Wujiong’s lips raised up as he smiled dangerously, “If you had told us earlier, there wouldn’t be such a hassle to decide how to enter this forest.” As he spoke, he took a few steps forward. His dark eyes looked straight at ng Qi, “Starfallen Sea is independent of the Three Realms and does not acknowledge the authority of the demon monarch’s order. However…” He slowed down his pace, putting heavy emphasis on each word, “…they also never dare to kill the bearer of the order!”
“Whoever gave it to you was handing you a life-saving talisman. With this thing in hand, you can go rampant in the Demon Realm, yet no one will dare to even touch a hair of yours.”
“…” ng Qi was silent. Her hands were hanging by her sides as she fell into a daze.
Demon monarch’s…order…
She knew the aning of each word, and she had also heard of the na many tis over.
Yet, she was unable to connect it with herself!
Feeling her hands tremble, ng Qi tried to gulp. There seed to be a lump in her dry throat, blocking her words and making her unable to speak.
Sovereign Qingyan is… is…
ng Qi’s gaze subconsciously went to Su Junmo. This overly-chatty fox was a high-ranking mber of the Demon Realm, an official envoy who ca to the Three Thousand World under the direct order of the Demon Monarch, so he must know the truth!
Su Junmo t ng Qi’s gaze and quickly turned his head guiltily.
“ng Qiqi.” Ji Wujiong leisurely walked to ng Qi’s side, “Don’t look at him. He does not dare to say anything.” He chuckled: “If you have any questions, ask . I will tell you everything I know.”
ng Qi closed her eyes and took out the white jade token again. It looked quite ordinary, but she never imagined that this thing was actually…
Taking a deep breath, ng Qi cald herself down and turned to Ji Wujiong, “How to use it?” She paused a bit, then asked again, “Are you sure we can enter the forest with it? Can we bring more people out with us?”
With obvious surprise, Ji Wujiong turned to ng Qi and looked at her with a faint smile flickered in his eyes. “I expected you to ask sothing else first,” he said.
“Sister Xue and Pavilion Master Pei have been inside for too long. We don’t know how much longer they can last.”
“That’s right.” Ji Wujiong nodded. This was indeed ng Qi.
“I can prove it to you.” He said as he reached out his hand, “Give a few profound-grade spirit stones.”
ng Qi handed the spirit stones over without a word.
Seeing this, Sikong Xing was annoyed. This Ji Wujiong was too thick-skinned! Even since they were still in the Grand Tournant barrier, he always asked for ng Qi’s spirit stones like they were nothing!
Ji Wujiong took the spirit stones and grabbed ng Qi’s wrist with his other hand: “Co with .”
“Let her go!”
“What are you doing?!”
“Get away!”
As soon as Ji Wujiong took ng Qi away, Chu Tianfeng and the others imdiately jumped up and rushed toward them.
“It’s okay.” ng Qi nodded to reassure her friends.
Showing them a nonchalant smile, Ji Wujiong summoned his saber with a flick of his wrist, “Have so extra spirit stones on hand,” he instructed.
ng Qi nodded and took out another handful of profound-grade spirit stones. Her speed of earning spirit stones could be said to be teoric, but her consumption was not small either. It had only been a short while since she began using eight or ninth-grade spirit stones, and now she consud mostly only the profound-grade ones. Currently, she had already depleted roughly one-third of the two thousand profound-grade spirit stones in her possession.
Once more, Ji Wujiong instructed, “Take out the token.”
“Okay.” ng Qi produced the token and held it tightly in her hand.
As they arrived at the forest’s periphery, Ji Wujiong took the lead, brandishing his saber and pulling ng Qi behind him. Following closely, ng Qi continued after him. Just as she entered the forest, soft laughter belonging to a female suddenly reverberated in her ears. The laughter was joyous, akin to the celebration that accompanied the arrival of a sumptuous feast. In an instant, a massive suction force surged towards them, causing the aura in ng Qi’s previously placid spiritual sea to roil and swirl, on the verge of being engulfed by the dreadful force.
“Ah—!!” ng Qi let out a cry. At the sa ti, the jade token in her hand made a sudden jump.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the huge suction disappeared.
ng Qi was startled. Ji Wujiong had already stopped in place and turned to look at her with a aningful smile: “How?”
