Chapter 93: I Gave You a Chance Before
“I originally planned to kill you directly, but now… you seem to have so use left!”
Ling Xue slowly continued, “The Heavenly Ruins Abyss and the Jiang Clan Immortal Dynasty must have a lot of good stuff! Elixirs, cultivation manuals, divine artifacts, magical treasures, and perhaps even…”
In any case, the resources in the Heavenly Ruins Abyss must be far more abundant than those of the current Demon Sect.
Jiang Qingni could be the one who brought those precious resources to him.
Jiang Qingni remained silent because she had already discerned Ling Xue’s intentions.
He wanted to use her. He planned for her to return and bring back everything he desired.
Because Ling Xue could control her entirely—her actions, thoughts, and even speech.
He could make her pretend to have returned unhard, even pretend that she had killed Ling Xue.
That way, no one would suspect anything.
Then, she could secretly transport resources to Ling Xue, making him increasingly powerful.
Eventually, Ling Xue would inevitably invade the Heavenly Ruins Abyss and claim that realm for himself.
But… there was one thing she couldn’t understand.
Elixirs, manuals, and artifacts—those are understandable. But people? What did he an by that?
Did Ling Xue want to bring people to serve him?
Who would willingly serve him?
“From now on, address as… Master!” Ling Xue continued.
No way! Jiang Qingni wanted to say these three words, but what ca out was entirely different: “Yes, Master!”
The mont those words left her mouth, she imdiately covered it with her hands.
What’s happening?
Am I really incapable of resisting him? Do I no longer even have the right to speak freely?
“You can return now. Once you’re back, don’t reveal anything! You have only one task: bring as many useful things as possible!” Ling Xue said again.
“And… if possible, bring so top-tier experts who wouldn’t cause suspicion if they went missing!”
Jiang Qingni couldn’t understand why Ling Xue wanted people or what his exact intentions were.
But she had no choice but to obey.
“From now on, every move you make, every word you speak, even your expressions—there must be no slip-ups!” Ling Xue ordered. “You will return unhard, and you will serve unhard!”
“Yes, Master!”
The next mont, Jiang Qingni felt her thoughts being completely controlled.
Her mind was entirely directed toward fulfilling Ling Xue’s desires.
She had turned into a walking puppet.
But not entirely lifeless.
Ling Xue had rely suppressed certain parts of her consciousness to prevent exposure when she returned.
She was still Jiang Qingni.
But now, she was Jiang Qing, who would give her all to serve Ling Xue.
“Before that… there’s one more thing!” Ling Xue smiled faintly and beckoned. “Follow !”
Jiang Qingni, who had been kneeling, obediently stood up.
Then, together with Ling Xue, she left the sixth floor.
They first arrived on the fifth floor—the space filled with chains!
Ling Xue paused for a mont, his gaze fixed on the black shadow in the center, its body completely penetrated by chains.
That shadow, just as during their previous encounter, remained motionless, silently watching Ling Xue.
After a mont of contemplation, Ling Xue dismissed the thought of releasing it.
This entity was undoubtedly special, and its release might lead to unforeseen consequences.
Better leave it for later!
Then, he brought Jiang Qingni to the fourth floor.
This was the starry river world.
The colossal Void Demon Dragon still soared amidst the stars.
When it noticed Ling Xue, it rely glanced at him indifferently. “You’re still not giving up?”
Ling Xue chuckled faintly. “I gave you a chance before.”
“Heh, a chance? You think you’re qualified to offer one?” The Void Demon Dragon sneered, its words unchanged from before.
Ling Xue said no more.
Since he had already given it a chance, there was no second opportunity.
With that, he waved his hand lightly. “Take it down!”
Currently, Ling Xue is only at the Extre Martial First Stage, and with the Heaven and Earth Sword Art, he could match the Second Stage.
But fighting a Third Stage Void Demon Dragon would still be difficult for him.
Fortunately, he now had Jiang Qingni. She could handle it for him.
Originally, Ling Xue had planned to let Ji Xiaoyao handle this. But since Jiang Qingni was here now, she could take care of it instead.
Why not use a stronger ally to deal with those he couldn’t manage himself?
Whoosh!
As Ling Xue’s words fell, Jiang Qingni shot forward without hesitation.
Now, as Ling Xue’s servant, she would obey his every command.
“Brought a helper? Do you think that will make submit?”
The Void Demon Dragon snorted coldly.
In the next mont, its massive form surged forward with the vast power of the void.
It opened its jaws, unleashing a beam of void light toward Jiang Qingni.
The dazzling beam illuminated the entire space.
But in the next mont, sothing shocking happened that left the Void Demon Dragon’s eyes wide in disbelief.
Jiang Qingni, surrounded by icy blue energy, passed through the beam of light unscathed.
She completely ignored its attack!
“Impossible!” The Void Demon Dragon was stunned.
Is this woman’s strength greater than mine?
Boom!
The next instant, Jiang Qingni was already above its head, her hand radiating cold energy as she slamd it onto its massive skull.
The dragon’s entire body was sent flying backward, scales scattering from the impact.
It was then that the Void Demon Dragon realized that not only was Jiang Qingni stronger than it, but she was significantly stronger.
Whoosh!
Before it could stabilize itself, Jiang Qingni struck again.
With a wave of her hand, a surge of frigid energy spread out.
The Void Demon Dragon felt as if the space around it had frozen.
Its massive body beca sluggish, unable to move freely.
And then…
Swish!
A giant ice spear materialized, piercing through its body.
Swish, swish, swish…
One after another, icy spears rained down like javelins, penetrating its body.
Amid its agonized roars, the Void Demon Dragon was soon riddled with spears, pinned in place, utterly defenseless.
With its Third Stage strength, it stood no chance against a Fifth Stage opponent.
At this mont, Ling Xue gestured lightly, signaling Jiang Qingni to stop.
He didn’t want the dragon dead. He wanted its power.
The Void Demon Dragon, its body impaled and unable to move, lay helpless as its void energy dissipated.
“I… I submit! Spare my life, and I will serve you from now on!”
It imdiately pleaded with Ling Xue.
If I had known he had such a strong ally, I wouldn’t have been so arrogant!
“I told you, you had a choice before.”
Ling Xue stood before the immobilized dragon. “Now… it’s too late!”
With that, he raised his hand, placing it on the dragon’s enormous head.
The Void Demon Dragon had no idea what Ling Xue intended to do.
Buzz…
The next mont, Ling Xue activated his 100% Devour ability.
The dragon felt its power being drained, as though blood were pouring out of its body and into Ling Xue.
“What… what are you doing?”
It roared in panic.
Ling Xue didn’t reply.
What is he doing?
He is, of course… taking this Third Stage power for himself!
