Episode 11, Chapter 3: Harmonious Union
"What exactly happened to her?" Seeing Li Xiangdong withdraw his magic and Yao Fengzhu disappear from the mirror wall, the Demon Queen asked anxiously.
"It's the Grand Steward again..." Li Xiangdong revealed everything.
"If we go to rescue her, wouldn't we be walking into a trap?" the Demon Queen asked in astonishment.
"No need to rush, let's see how things develop before considering it." Li Xiangdong smiled, "Right now, nothing is more important than marrying Mother."
"Good child!" the Demon Queen smiled broadly.
"Immediately send troops to blockade the sea entrance, preventing the Eastern ships from landing. At the same time, increase manpower to monitor the entrance of the Demon Palace in Gunzhou, see who is coming and going, but be very careful not to alert the enemy." After hearing the message from the Golden Peak Master, the Grand Steward immediately issued the order.
"Your Highness is wise, this is truly a good idea. We agree to what the enemy opposes, it can be said to be a wise saying." the Golden Peak Master flattered.
“Li Xiangdong said the Holy Maiden is no threat, and she’s been missing for a long time. Could it be that Li Xiangdong really plotted against her?” Sun Bu’er asked uneasily.
“Li Xiangdong is cunning and scheming. Even if he can’t defeat the Holy Maiden, he might still be able to destroy her,” the chief strategist sneered. “But that’s not important now. What’s important is bringing him to justice.”
“Ten thousand elite troops have arrived in Guanzhong, ready to go. They’re just waiting for the chief strategist’s order to set off,” Sun Bu’er reported.
“How many men have the nine gangs and thirteen sects sent?” the Golden Peak Master asked.
"It's practically their entire force," the head constable said with satisfaction. "Ding Ling and the wise old man Chen Tong are leading four newly formed anti-traitor squads. These include Da Fang and the eighteen Arhats from Shaolin Temple, thirty-six masters from Qingcheng Temple led by Jing Xu, Sang Shu from the Beggars' Sect and his four prized disciples, Tan Duan, the top master of the Eagle Claw Sect, plus Jinlun Dangyang and masters from the Pai Sect. As for the Kongtong and Liuhe Sects, although they didn't join the squads, their leaders, Wuxin and Ye Neng, agreed to send experts to assist in the capture. In total, there are about two hundred people, and everyone is proficient in light-body skills. Defending the Stone Forest shouldn't be a problem."
"The Seven Star Gang also has twelve masters in the squads. Apart from the Zhu Rong Sect, it can be said that they've encompassed all the major sects in the north," Sun Bu'er exclaimed.
"Cheng Kang of the Zhu Rong Sect isn't absent; he mobilized all his disciples to rush-produce Thunderbolt Fire. The first batch is already on its way, ready to be distributed to various groups," the head constable laughed.
"This plan is flawless, and with so many people involved, even if Li Xiangdong had three heads and six arms, he wouldn't be able to escape," said the Golden Peak Elder.
"But we can't let Ding Ling and the others know about this plan," the head constable said grimly. "And we absolutely cannot mention Chong Erzhuang."
"No one will tell them," Sun Bu'er said seriously. "The truth is, the head constable personally led the army to surround and capture him, and the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects were responsible for guarding the Stone Forest and blocking Li Xiangdong's escape route."
"Actually, I can guard the Stone Forest by myself, without the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects. If he manages to escape there, I can also fight him," the Golden Peak Elder said arrogantly.
"No, you must stay with the army to deal with his sorcery," the head constable sneered.
"It's a pity we only have a few demon-subduing talismans, not enough to distribute, otherwise, with our strength, we could definitely crush him to dust," Sun Bu'er said sullenly.
“Those demons and evil spirits were troublesome to begin with, but now that we know how to break their spells, and with
the monks backing them up, it’s no wonder Li Xiangdong is doomed,” the Golden Peak Master sneered. “Only I have the talisman in Chong Er Manor. The naked woman can only break through the demons and evil spirits attacking the manor. If Li Xiangdong attacks,
you’ll have to help him out,” Sun Bu’er nodded. “With ten thousand elite troops surrounding him, can Li Xiangdong still attack Chong Er Manor?” the head of the gang scoffed. “Even if he breaks through, escaping is his priority. You don’t need to lift a finger.”
“I don’t have many men there…” Sun Bu’er said worriedly.
“Chong Er Manor has nearly a hundred experts. Even if Li Xiangdong attacks, they can hold out for a while. By then, we should have caught up with him,” the Golden Peak Master laughed.
“I hope so,” Sun Bu’er sighed. “When do we set off?”
“In a couple of days. We need to let Li Xiangdong know first,” the head constable pondered. “When she changes her mind tomorrow, pretend there’s nothing we can do and send her there.”
“Where…where?” Yao Fengzhu, who had just returned from the torture chamber, disheveled and kneeling on the ground awaiting instructions, asked in fear.
“In Jinye Valley, a hundred li north of Guanzhong, there’s a nice place called Chong Er Zhuang,” Sun Bu’er said with a sly smile.
“Listen carefully,” the head constable said coldly. “Tell Li Xiangdong that because you changed your mind and angered the interrogating officials, you’ve been sent to Chong Er Zhuang to learn how to be a courtesan.”
“A courtesan!” Yao Fengzhu exclaimed in shock.
“What’s wrong with being a courtesan? You’re well-dressed, eat well, and have men to make you feel good. It’s far better than being in prison,” the man on the Golden Peak chuckled.
"That place was originally where we trained our best fighters. All the men and women there were from official families. It was temporarily converted into a training ground for courtesans in order to lure and kill Li Xiangdong," Sun Bu'er explained.
Yao Fengzhu felt a chill run down her spine. She thought to herself that being trapped in such a place meant she would inevitably be subjected to humiliation and abuse, no different from a prostitute. But she knew further words were futile, so she could only suppress her sorrow and remain silent, tears welling in her eyes.
Although the palace within the palace was brightly decorated and filled with festive cheer, there were no guests of honor. After the female slaves responsible for the arrangements left, only Li Xiangdong, dressed in his wedding attire, remained alone in a magnificent hall, looking around with great joy, like a newlywed groom entering his bridal chamber.
This hall-like place was his bridal chamber, and this was the first time Li Xiangdong had used it since its completion—a true bridal chamber in name and in fact.
The new house was draped with a thick, red carpet, and furnished with all kinds of exquisite, gold-carved, and jade-crafted furniture, resembling an imperial palace. There was a mirrored wall, and in the center was an astonishingly large brocade couch, large enough for eight or ten people to lie comfortably without feeling cramped.
In one corner of the hall was a steaming pool with gurgling water, seemingly fed by a hot spring of unknown origin.
Most strangely, while the hall wasn't without a roof, the stars and moon shone brightly overhead, the tranquil night sky appearing as if right before one's eyes, unlike the other parts of the divine palace where the sun never shone.
Li Xiangdong inspected the place and was very satisfied. He decided to bring in the Soul-Separating Bed as his bedroom, finally realizing his long-cherished dream. Now that he was married, it was time to do something significant. Unfortunately,
having just driven away the Heavenly Demon Path, the government was becoming increasingly aggressive, even siding with the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Factions. Unless he submitted, he would have to fight them.
Li Xiangdong hadn't originally intended to confront the government before he had consolidated his power, but given the current situation, he had no choice. However, the enemy was undeniably powerful, and a direct confrontation was not a wise strategy. If he could rescue Yao Fengzhu, those bastards wouldn't be so arrogant.
But that wasn't urgent; the most pressing matter was waiting for the bride to return. He'd heard her wedding dress was uniquely designed, and the wedding attendants, Lina and Lihua, had also made new clothes.
The bride arrived!
Supported by Lina and Lihua, the "Demon Queen" gracefully entered. Even the well-traveled Li Xiangdong was stunned, utterly amazed.
Leaving aside the "Demon Queen" herself, the attire of the two wedding attendants, Lina and Lihua, clearly showed considerable thought and effort had been put into it.
The two women were barefoot, their breasts wrapped in pink gauze scarves. Beneath the gossamer-thin fabric, the nipples of their breasts, adorned with tiny red flowers, swayed gracefully with each step, a dazzling sight. A peach-colored silk scarf cinched their waists, a short skirt that seemed unremarkable at first glance, but its extreme length revealed a red flower at the base of their thighs, inevitably drawing the eye.
The bride, the enchanting queen, exuded a fragrant aroma that wafted even before she approached. Her head was covered by a red silk embroidered scarf, and while her bright red wedding dress was unremarkable, its fiery style was truly shocking.
Her open-front bodice was not uncommon, but this one was ripped open in the middle, reaching almost to her abdomen, like two thin threads precariously concealing her ample breasts, seemingly about to burst forth. The clearly defined nipples of her breasts were undeniably alluring.
The floor-length gown was also divided into two pieces, the connecting part concealing her delicate navel, then opening to the sides, revealing her long, beautiful legs and exaggeratingly highlighting the thighs covered only by a small piece of cloth.
"The bride has arrived!" Rina exclaimed in a melodious voice, yet she couldn't help but look around curiously, like a beautiful flower, surveying the luxurious bridal chamber.
Because of her veil, the Empress didn't notice anything amiss in the bridal chamber. Like any other bride, she lowered her head shyly and, led by two women, walked to Li Xiangdong, bowing gracefully.
"Rise!" Li Xiangdong reached out to help her up, giggling.
"Her Majesty instructed that we may touch her only after the proper greetings," Rina said, blocking the Empress's path.
"What greetings?" Li Xiangdong asked, puzzled.
“Of course, it’s a wedding,” Lihua said shyly. “We have to bow to heaven and earth, then to our parents, and then the husband and wife bow to each other. That’s how the ceremony is completed.”
“Hmph! Why should I bow to the heavens when the heavens won’t bow to me?” Li Xiangdong snorted coldly, raised his head to look at the sky, and cursed, “You damned heavens, don’t expect me to bow to you. I’ll have my own mother and I have sex in front of you. Let’s see what you can do to me
then!” “Alright, it’s fine if we don’t have to bow to heaven and earth.” Seeing the Demon Queen nod slightly, Lina said understandingly, “Then will the leader bow to his parents?”
“We can skip bowing to heaven and earth, but we still have to bow to our parents.” Li Xiangdong smiled and said, “Mother, please get up and take a seat.”
The Demon Queen didn’t get up, but gestured for Lina to squat down. She whispered a few words and continued to bow before Li Xiangdong.
“Your Majesty, shouldn’t we set up a memorial tablet for our father first, and then bow to our mother?” After hearing the Demon Queen’s whisper, Lina asked.
“I have no father.” Li Xiangdong’s face darkened, and he said angrily, “Back then, Yuchi Yuan raped my mother, how can he accept my bow?”
The Demon Queen nodded, then stood up with Li Hua’s help, and sat quietly in front of the hall, waiting for Li Xiangdong to bow.
“Why aren’t you speaking?” Li Xiangdong asked, noticing something was amiss.
“The bride cannot speak to the groom until the veil is lifted, otherwise they cannot grow old together,” Lina explained. “The veil can only be lifted after the ceremony.”
“Why are there so many strange rules!” Li Xiangdong laughed strangely, bowed before the Demon Queen and said, “Mother, back then you not only abandoned me, but also tried to harm me many times. I shouldn’t bow to you, but considering that I came from your womb, I can accept my bow.”
The Demon Queen gently stroked Li Xiangdong’s head as if ashamed, but still remained silent.
Li Xiangdong playfully bowed a few times, and then, under the arrangement of Lina and others, exchanged bows with the Demon Queen. He then rose, pulled off her veil, and chuckled, "Wife, would you like to pay respects to your husband?"
"Yes!" the Demon Queen replied with a charming smile. "Husband, please take a seat and accept my bow."
"Haha, that's right." Li Xiangdong laughed heartily, sat down in the hall, and said, "Hurry up and bow;
after you're done, it will be time for our wedding night." The Demon Queen respectfully bowed three times, but did not rise. She climbed forward, hugged Li Xiangdong's leg, and said, "My son, I wronged you before. Now that I'm marrying you, you mustn't be angry with me anymore."
"Xiuxin, do you understand the ways of a wife?" Li Xiangdong asked casually.
"Yes," the Demon Queen leaned against Li Xiangdong's feet, happily removing his boots, and said, "A wife must obey her husband. The first duty of a wife is naturally to listen to her husband's words."
"Is that all?" Li Xiangdong asked with a smile.
"You must also shower him with warmth, care, understanding, love, and pamper him, serving him wholeheartedly and making him happy," the Demon Queen said matter-of-factly.
"Do you know how to make me happy?" Li Xiangdong pressed on.
"Whatever you like, I'll do it, sparing no expense to please you," the Demon Queen said, kissing Li Xiangdong's feet.
"I like you suffering, don't I?" Li Xiangdong laughed.
"Then I'll offer you a whip; even if it kills me, I'll die without regret," the Demon Queen replied without hesitation.
"That's right," Li Xiangdong reached out and pulled the Demon Queen up from the ground, embracing her and laughing loudly, "If that's how it is, I'll only cherish and pamper you; how could I let you suffer?"
"Where is this place?" The Demon Queen finally realized that this was different from her usual residence and asked curiously.
"This is my palace, built especially for today. It hasn't been used since it was built," Li Xiangdong laughed.
"There's no roof, what happens when it rains?" the Demon Queen asked, gazing up at the night sky.
"The roof was built with immortal magic; it can be closed with a spell at any time, impervious to wind and rain," Li Xiangdong said proudly.
"Really? You're so kind!" the Demon Queen said happily.
"It's nothing, look," Li Xiangdong said, taking out a jade box.
"What's this?" the Demon Queen asked, taking it.
"This is the Heavenly Fox Inner Core, a token of our love," Li Xiangdong smiled.
"The Heavenly Fox Inner Core!" the Demon Queen exclaimed in surprise.
Overwhelmed with joy, the Demon Queen opened the box and saw a ball of golden light inside, indeed identical to the legendary Heavenly Fox Inner Core.
"The Heavenly Fox Inner Core is the most yin substance in the world. Using it to cultivate the unique martial arts techniques designed for women by our sect, one can progress a thousand miles a day, becoming a master within seven days," Li Xiangdong said proudly.
"How do I cultivate it?" the Demon Queen asked, her mouth watering.
“First, I need to send the inner core into the Yin Gate. Once you open the Yin Gate, I will send in the cultivation secrets so you can cultivate according to the method,” Li Xiangdong explained.
“How does one open the Yin Gate?” the Demon Queen pressed. Although she had lost all her power, she still had some knowledge, but she didn’t understand how to open or close the Yin Gate.
“When you reach the peak of bliss, the Yin Gate will open on its own!” Li Xiangdong lewdly chuckled, his hand slipping inside the Demon Queen’s clothes, playing with the fleshy mound that he couldn’t even grasp with one hand.
“You wicked rascal!” the Demon Queen exclaimed, anxiously asking, “When are we going to consummate our marriage?”
“Now, of course,” Li Xiangdong exclaimed.
“Right here?” the Demon Queen asked uneasily.
“This is our bridal chamber. Where else would we be?” Li Xiangdong asked in astonishment.
"But..." The Demon Queen looked up at the night sky and stammered, "But aren't we afraid of blaspheming the gods, with the heavens above us?"
"I'm going to defy the heavens and see how powerful they really are!" Li Xiangdong angrily stripped the Demon Queen of her wedding dress, picked her up, and said.
"Your Majesty, shall we stay and serve you?" Lina asked.
"Of course," Li Xiangdong said, placing the Demon Queen on the brocade couch. "Spread her legs so I can put the inner core inside."
After the two women obediently spread the Demon Queen's pink legs wide, Li Xiangdong took the inner core from her hand and placed it between the cracks in her flesh.
"Oh... inner core... why is the inner core suddenly so cold...?" The Demon Queen trembled and groaned.
"Bear with it for a moment, it will be warm once it's inside." Li Xiangdong, injured, used his lustful divine power to rub against her swollen vulva.
"Hot... oh... cold... ah!" The Demon Queen moaned incessantly.
It turned out that although Li Xiangdong's palm felt like a ball of fire, the Heavenly Fox inner core remained icy cold. Driven by the fire, it seemed to have a life of its own, slowly drilling into the mysterious flesh cave. The feeling of being cold inside and hot outside made the Demon Queen weak and limp, feeling incredibly uncomfortable.
The Heavenly Fox's inner core slowly seeped deeper into the cave. The Demon Queen couldn't help but try to pull Li Xiangdong's hands away, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree—she couldn't budge an inch. She tried to close her legs, but the two women held them firmly down, so she could only scream loudly to vent her inner turmoil.
Finally, it reached the end, but the snowball-like Heavenly Fox's inner core didn't stop; it continued to push inward, making the Demon Queen's teeth chatter from the cold, and she struggled even more fiercely.
Strangely enough, the Demon Queen felt a ball of blazing fire suddenly ignite in her dantian, rushing towards the direction the inner core was moving.
At the same time, the heat filling her vagina burned even hotter. The two balls of blazing fire simultaneously squeezed the cold inner core sandwiched between them. Then, without warning, the inner core suddenly exploded, emitting countless wisps of icy coldness, which rushed into the dantian like moths to a flame, as if trying to extinguish the raging fire inside.
The Demon Queen thought that even if the chilling energy from her inner core couldn't extinguish the raging fire within her, it should at least alleviate the unbearable heat. Unexpectedly, the chilling energy, upon encountering the fire, was like adding fuel to the fire, causing the flames to spread rapidly and uncontrollably throughout her body.
"Ah...give it to me...it's so itchy...my son...fuck me...I want you...!" the Demon Queen cried out in a frenzy.
"Come on up," Li Xiangdong said with a smile.
At this moment, Li Xiangdong was already lying on the bed, stripped naked by Lina and the others, holding his erect penis and saying, "How much you want, do it yourself."
The Demon Queen cheered, her lust surging as she straddled him, holding the proud, erect penis against her wet vulva, and lowered herself to sit down.
"Beautiful...so beautiful...I...I want more..." the Demon Queen gasped.
The Demon Queen lay panting on Li Xiangdong, her eyes glazed with desire as she reveled in ecstasy, yet also warily awaiting the moment that would make her grit her teeth.
It came!
A cool sensation seeped from her open vulva straight to her heart, rushing upwards to her forehead. Passing through her heart, it struck her like a thunderbolt, causing unbearable discomfort. The pleasure of climax diminished, and her mind cleared. Then, the Demon Queen felt she had gained a deeper understanding of the Asura Divine Art, knowing that Li Xiangdong was transferring his power again.
Since their union, the Demon Queen had experienced at least five or six orgasms, each time like this. Despite ejaculating, she never achieved true ecstasy, nor could she suppress her burning desire. Fortunately, Li Xiangdong's tenacity eased her worries.
"Move!" Li Xiangdong urged, supporting the Demon Queen's slender waist.
"Move...I'll move!" the Demon Queen said weakly.
The Empress wasn't unwilling to move, but she was simply too exhausted. She could only laboriously twist her waist, listlessly manipulating the hard penis, panting as she said, "You...you can stay on top."
"No, that's how you transfer power," Li Xiangdong shook his head.
At that moment, he inadvertently glanced at Rina and Lihua embracing, and a thought struck him. He shouted, "You two, come here and help the Empress!"
The two women trembled at his voice and quickly separated. Their clothes were disheveled; Rina's undergarment had come undone, revealing her nipples tied with small red flowers. Lihua's robe was half-undone, her vulva bare, with a large, wet red silk handkerchief lying beside her, apparently still tucked inside.
"This servant...how can this servant help?" Rina asked blankly, pressing her jade-like hands to her chest and vigorously rubbing them.
Lihua, a former brothel woman, was experienced and much more cunning. She crawled over, placing her hands on the Demon Queen's jade-like thighs, and propelled her back and forth like a rowing boat, giving her a helping hand.
"That's it, but hurry up. Don't stop until I tell you to," Li Xiangdong said with satisfaction.
Lihua exerted more force, pushing even faster, and took the opportunity to get a closer look at the Asura Yaksha coiled on the Demon Queen's pink back.
Lihua had already seen it when she was helping the Demon Queen change clothes, but not as clearly as now. Seeing the strange snake swimming into the Demon Queen's anus sent chills down her spine.
Although the demonic mark on her arm was gone after her rebirth, the pain of getting the tattoo was still fresh in her memory. Not to mention the alluring and mysterious Yaksha, even when this strange snake was tattooed, Lihua couldn't imagine how much suffering she would have endured. This Demon Queen, who could mutilate her body like this, was definitely not a kind person.
The Demon Queen cried out again, her cries even more wanton and lewd, seemingly on the verge of another climax. Lihua secretly envied her, tightening her grip as if to ease her pain.
Although Lina and Lihua took turns helping, allowing the Demon Queen to experience carnal pleasure with little effort, she was still only flesh and blood. The relentless waves of climax relentlessly eroded her fragile nerves, proving far from pleasant. Finally, in a moment of extreme ecstasy, she let out a long howl and lost consciousness.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty...Your Majesty has fainted!" Lihua, noticing the Demon Queen's lack of response, fearfully released her grip and cried out urgently.
"Shut up!" Li Xiangdong snorted angrily, continuing his power transmission technique. After a while, he ordered the two women to help the paralyzed Demon Queen to her feet, allowing her to lie comfortably beside him.
"Your Majesty, you haven't..." Rina nestled into Li Xiangdong's arms, her heart fluttering, grasping his powerful erection, and whispered, "Don't you want me to help you release your pent-up desire?"
"If the bride can't do it, then the matchmaker will have to step in." Li Xiangdong chuckled and flipped Rina over, pinning her beneath him.
Seeing the Demon Queen rise and immediately begin meditating according to the Asura Secret Method, Li Xiangdong was pleased. He was glad his efforts hadn't been in vain. It seemed that within seven days, he would be able to obtain the essence of the Heavenly Fox's inner core, making her a top expert. At a time when powerful enemies surrounded him, having such a beautiful wife was truly a stroke of luck.
Rina and Lihua had already gotten out of bed and were preparing breakfast for lunch. The palace was very quiet. As Li Xiangdong pondered his future plans, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't had time to check on Ye Xing and Ye Yue's movements these past few days. He quickly used his magic, and thankfully, he managed to see them disembark and land on a small, rocky island.
Li Xiangdong already knew from the two women's conversation that they were going to Coral Island to meet the Heavenly Demon, and he wasn't surprised. He just wanted to see what was so remarkable about this extraordinary person who, a hundred years ago, was as famous as Elder Daxiong, the Holy Maiden's master, but ultimately fled overseas and hadn't died yet.
During their conversation, the two women mentioned that after the Heavenly Demon was injured by Elder Daxiong, he forced himself to practice martial arts, resulting in a qi deviation that left him paralyzed in all four limbs, making him practically useless. This greatly puzzled Li Xiangdong, as he couldn't understand why they still firmly believed he could defeat him and avenge the Nine-Child Demon Mother.
Even if Ye Xing and Ye Yue weren't experienced travelers, they shouldn't be new to this place. Unexpectedly, they seemed lost, weaving and twisting through the rocks, making Li Xiangdong frown deeply. He thought to himself that there must be an extremely sophisticated formation hidden among these rocks.
After walking for a while, the two women finally arrived at the front of a cave, spoke a few words into it, and then respectfully entered the cave.
Upon entering the cave, the two women's figures immediately became blurry, as if they were in a thick fog. Li Xiangdong felt a chill, knowing that there were restrictions in the cave, which greatly reduced the effectiveness of the photographic transmission. Continuing to look would be too much of a hassle.
Li Xiangdong was frustrated by his repeated failures to transmit his image through photography, but he was also puzzled. He thought of the Holy Maiden's protective talisman and the Golden Summit Master's restrictions, which prevented him from seeing anything. Could these two be even more powerful than the Heavenly Demon? A thought struck him, and he used his magic to look at Yao Fengzhu again.
This time, he saw her, though still not clearly, but he could recognize her face and read her lips. He thought to himself that if Yao Fengzhu hadn't broken the protective talisman, it meant that after absorbing the Holy Maiden's innate true energy, his Asura Divine Art had greatly improved, making him immune to the Holy Maiden and the Golden Summit Master's restrictions.
Just as Li Xiangdong was about to use telepathy to ask Yao Fengzhu for clarification, the Demon Queen awoke from her meditation.
"Dong'er, Mother has mastered the basic skills of the Asura Sect and telepathic communication," the Demon Queen said happily.
"If it weren't so easy, how could you become a martial arts master in just seven days?" Li Xiangdong said proudly.
"When will you transmit your skills again?" the Demon Queen asked, pulling on Li Xiangdong's arm.
“Let’s wait until sunset, once every night, okay?” Li Xiangdong lewdly chuckled.
“Okay, I’d even fuck your mother to death.” The Demon Queen giggled seductively, falling into Li Xiangdong’s arms, her eyes fixed on the mirrored wall. “Is it that bitch Fengzhu again? What do you have to say?”
“I haven’t asked yet.” Li Xiangdong shook his head. He hadn’t asked because he had just seen the Golden Peak Monk and a middle-aged strong man enter the cell and speak to Yao Fengzhu.
After watching for a while, Li Xiangdong knew that the middle-aged man was Sun Bu’er, the leader of the Seven Star Gang, and the two were instructing Yao Fengzhu on how to speak to him later.
“Is this monk the Golden Peak Monk? What is he saying to Sun Bu’er?” The Demon Queen didn’t understand lip reading and was naturally confused.
“They’re going to send Fengzhu to the Chong Er Manor in Golden Leaf Valley to be a prostitute…” Li Xiangdong frowned as he recited the words of the Golden Peak Monk and the others.
"This Chong Er Manor must be a trap!" the Demon Queen exclaimed sternly. "Otherwise, why would they deliberately make her tell you?"
"That's right, let's see what Fengzhu has to say later," Li Xiangdong nodded.
After the people on the Golden Peak finished speaking, they left Yao Fengzhu alone in her cell, her expression filled with sorrow, and then left with a smile.
Li Xiangdong didn't delay any longer and immediately used telepathy to speak with Yao Fengzhu.
Seeing that Li Xiangdong was silent with his eyes closed, the Demon Queen guessed that he was using telepathy to speak with Yao Fengzhu and didn't dare to disturb him. She stood there for a while, and only after he withdrew his telepathic communication did she ask.
"What a vicious trap..." Li Xiangdong revealed the chief's plan.
"Ten thousand elite soldiers?" the Demon Queen exclaimed in surprise. "Even if we use all our invincible divine soldiers, it's like throwing an egg against a rock."
"And what about Ding Ling and those people from the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects?" Li Xiangdong said sullenly.
"Then what should we do?" the Demon Queen said angrily.
"Let's finish this charade with Fengzhu first," Li Xiangdong said coldly.
Li Xiangdong was obsessed with bringing Yao Fengzhu back, hoping to dampen the leader's spirits. However, judging from the terrain map sent back by his men who had infiltrated Guanzhong, given the government's manpower and deployment, a direct confrontation, even with the full strength of the sect, would likely result in a one-way trip.
Yao Fengzhu had already set off, escorted by Jin Ding Shangren and Sun Bu'er, leading several hundred soldiers, to Jinye Valley. Departing from Jiangdu, it should take four or five days to reach Chong Er Village.
Li Xiangdong had considered rescuing her along the way, but they were traveling by day and resting by night. During the day, they traveled along the official road, with Yao Fengzhu alone in the prison cart, surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, some of whom seemed quite formidable. At night, they would seek lodging in the city, where Jin Ding Shangren and Sun Bu'er would take turns sleeping with her. It was said that additional troops had been deployed to guard the city, making the defenses extremely tight.
With such tight security, even if Li Xiangdong didn't need to attend to the Demon Queen's training, he wouldn't have time to mobilize troops for a rescue. Then, he received a report about the pigsty, which made him abandon his plan for a direct confrontation.
The cultivation of invincible divine weapons had been progressing smoothly; according to Wang Jie's report, over two thousand demon lords had been bred so far. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Demoness's disciples had ordinary physiques and poor internal strength, resulting in divine weapons whose quality was inferior to those of Ciyun's children, and whose martial arts abilities were also weaker. Moreover
, the mortality rate of the sows was very high; it was estimated that each sow could produce fewer than twenty offspring on average—how could they be wasted so easily? A direct confrontation was not an option; only strategy would suffice.
Li Xiangdong vaguely sensed an opportunity, but despite racking his brains, he couldn't come up with a good plan. He considered the snake-controlling and beast-taming techniques of the Ye Xing and Ye Yue sisters, thinking they might be useful, and even investigated their movements, but the situation remained unclear. He then realized the Heavenly Demon's magic was indeed powerful. Fortunately, he had tricked the chief into sealing off the sea, making it difficult for him to return even if he managed to leave the mountain, leaving him vulnerable on two fronts.
Although the plan to rescue Yao Fengzhu was stalled, the transmission of power to the Demon Queen was not hindered. She was also working diligently, her Asura techniques progressing rapidly, and she was even re-cultivating her degraded internal energy. While her method was completely different from the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, her skill was the same. Even if she wasn't as good as the Holy Maiden of yesteryear, she wasn't far behind.
If things went smoothly, they should have. Li Xiangdong estimated that after the power transmission was completed that night, the mission would be accomplished, and the Demon Queen would be his powerful ally.
Strangely, the Demon Queen was in a bad mood today. Knowing the new clothes weren't finished, she scolded Lina and then slapped Lihua for not combing her hair properly, almost whipping her.
Because the Demon Palace was fierce and vicious, capable of shifting one's emotions and nature, and Li Xiangdong was inherently violent, he took it all in stride and didn't pay it any mind.
It was time for bed.
Li Xiangdong lay naked on the bed, casting a spell to open the roof. It turned out to be a full moon tonight, and the silvery moonlight streamed into the room, illuminating the entire palace like daytime.
"Mother, are you feeling unwell?" Li Xiangdong asked, frowning.
Usually, by this time the Demon Queen would have already undressed and been entangled with him, but now she was still wearing a pink silk robe, the belt still fastened.
"No..." The Demon Queen's body trembled, and she slowly loosened the belt.
"Aren't you going to help the Empress undress?" Li Xiangdong said displeased.
Lihua, already completely naked, rushed forward to help the Demon Queen undress. Lina, busy gathering her discarded handkerchief, paid no attention.
The Demon Queen's clothes were simple and easy to remove; she was undressed in no time. As usual, she crawled to Li Xiangdong's side.
"Mother, after today, you will have fully mastered the Asura's Arts," Li Xiangdong said nonchalantly, channeling his lustful power, his penis erect.
"Is that so? Excellent!" The Demon Queen's face showed a strange expression as she pressed one hand against Li Xiangdong's chest and the other reached down to his abdomen.
"Master..." Lina suddenly cried out in alarm.
"What is it..." Li Xiangdong's words trailed off as he suddenly cried out, "Mother, what are you doing?"
The Demon Queen had suddenly struck eighteen acupoints on his body in one breath, from the Jianjing point to the Jingcu point.
"What are you doing?" the Demon Queen yelled, unleashing two gusts of wind from her fingers that almost simultaneously paralyzed Li Hua and Lina's pressure points. She gasped for breath, then said in grief and rage, "I'm going to kill you, you rebellious beast!"
"You...you're insane!" Li Xiangdong roared, "I am your son, and your husband! How can you kill your husband and harm your son?"
"Insane?" the Demon Queen gritted her teeth, "You're the one who's insane! You raped your own mother, and now you want to force me to marry you! You're the one who's crazy!"
"Have you forgotten? You willingly married me!" Li Xiangdong suddenly realized the Demon Queen had somehow reverted to her identity as the Holy Maiden, and, sensing danger, feigned a smile.
"Beast!" The Holy Maiden, enraged, slapped Li Xiangdong a dozen times with both hands, cursing, "If it weren't for your sorcery, would I be so shameless?"
"Aren't you perfectly fine now? How can you blame me for what you promised?" Li Xiangdong said with a sneer.
"Don't think your sorcery is invincible. Even if it can bewitch me for a time, can it control me forever?" the Holy Maiden said angrily. "Although you've destroyed the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, its supernatural powers remain. As long as I'm bathed in the moonlight, I'll regain my clarity."
"So it's this damned moon." Li Xiangdong said with a hint of realization.
"You know too late. If you hadn't sought your own death by passing on your demonic arts to me, I wouldn't be able to act on behalf of Heaven." The Holy Maiden said with murderous intent.
"Act on behalf of Heaven? Marriage is a matter of course. Is it against Heaven?" Li Xiangdong laughed.
"Nonsense!" The saintess trembled with rage, screaming, "I...I am your mother! This is incest, an outrage against all reason!"
"Mother? Have you ever fulfilled your responsibilities as a mother?" Li Xiangdong laughed wildly. "And what do you mean by outrage against all reason? Didn't Heaven watch us get married and consummate our marriage? Watching you squeal with delight, what could it do?"
"You..." the saintess hissed, "That's right, I don't have a son like you!"
"Are you going to kill me again?" Li Xiangdong glanced at Lina, seeing that although her pressure points were paralyzed, she was still conscious. He sneered, "You murdered your husband and harmed your child; that's what's truly outrageous!"
"Even after I kill you, I won't live on!" the saintess choked out.
"So what if you die? Even if you die, you'll still be my mother, and my wife!" Li Xiangdong laughed maniacally.
"I'll kill you!" the saintess cried out, her voice filled with grief and indignation.
The Holy Maiden flipped her jade palm and struck down towards Li Xiangdong's chest. With her current skill, if this blow landed, it would surely rupture his heart meridian and kill him.
In the blink of an eye, the Holy Maiden raised her hand, then suddenly screamed in agony, all her strength gone, and collapsed, rolling wildly on the enormous brocade couch.
"Rina, well done!" Li Xiangdong laughed heartily, but he didn't move. His pressure points hadn't been released, so he couldn't move.
"Your Majesty...you...are you alright?" Rina cried out in fear. Although she had mentally recited incantations to restrain the Holy Maiden, her pressure points were still sealed, and she couldn't move at all.
"No, let me rest a little longer and I'll be able to get up. Keep chanting the incantation, let this bitch know her power." Li Xiangdong said, struggling to release the pressure points.
Rina remained silent, but the Holy Maiden's screams grew even more shrill. One hand pressed against her chest, the other covered her back, as if in unbearable pain.
After a while, Li Xiangdong finally broke free of the pressure points that had been restraining him, and leisurely got out of bed, releasing the pressure points on Rina and Lihua one after the other.
"That terrified me!" Rina said, still feeling lingering fear, patting her chest lightly.
"Why didn't you chant the incantation sooner?" Li Xiangdong asked.
"This servant...this servant didn't know if she had really changed her mind, and dared not act rashly," Rina stammered.
"Didn't the Yaksha change her face?" Li Xiangdong examined the saintess's pink back, noticing that the Yaksha's face was completely bald, all features gone, and frowned.
"When she restrained this servant, she was still appearing and disappearing, and only later did she lose her face..." Rina said fearfully.
"Next time, don't wait, uh, chant the incantation immediately when the Yaksha changes her face," Li Xiangdong nodded.
"Will there be a next time?" Rina asked fearfully.
"I don't know, but in short, be careful every full moon," Li Xiangdong sighed.
"Should we press her pressure points?" At this moment, Rina, preoccupied with talking to Li Xiangdong, stopped chanting the incantation. Noticing the Holy Maiden had stopped crying out in pain and was now lying on the bed panting heavily, she feared she might retaliate again and asked.
"Tie her up," Li Xiangdong said grimly. "Bind her hands and feet together, leaving her wide open so I can punish her slowly."
"She...she can still fight?" Rina hesitated, knowing the Holy Maiden, having mastered the Asura technique, was no longer the naive girl she once was.
"After chanting the incantation, she had no strength left. How could she fight?" Li Xiangdong sneered. His words had barely faded when the Holy Maiden cried out in pain again, rolling around on the bed.
"I didn't chant the incantation, why is she..." Rina asked, confused.
"You didn't chant, but I did," Li Xiangdong laughed.
"Why didn't you chant just now?" Rina asked curiously.
"Let me see if you've forgotten," Li Xiangdong laughed. "Go ahead."
"This servant would never forget," Rina said, directing Lihua to fetch the ropes. She then pulled away the saintess's hand that was pressing against her breast.
At this moment, the saintess was in so much pain that she was sweating profusely, but she had no strength to resist and could only be at his mercy.
"Huh?" Rina gripped the saintess's hand tightly, and was about to pull up her legs to tie her wrists and ankles together when she suddenly pointed at the saintess's breast and cried out in horror, her eyes wide with disbelief, "Look!"
Lihua, who was about to join in, also retreated in fear. The strange snake that had been stuck on the saintess's breast, which had originally opened its blood-red mouth with two sharp fangs pressing against the peaks, had now closed its mouth, and the two fangs had disappeared.
"If it weren't for the Yaksha's power, how could we have subdued her so easily?" Li Xiangdong laughed loudly. "Look at her asshole."
The two women were startled by his words and simultaneously raised their limp pink legs. Looking down, they couldn't
help but gasp. The snake's head was gone, leaving only its bluish-black body, as if it had burrowed into her anus. "Those two snakes...?" Rina's face turned pale, and she stammered, unable to speak.
"It's those two snakes!" Li Xiangdong laughed heartily.
"Do they... bite... bite people?" Rina asked incredulously.
"You guessed right!" Li Xiangdong laughed heartily, and then the saintess screamed like a pig being slaughtered, her body twisting desperately, forcefully breaking free from the two women's restraints.
"Will she be bitten to death?" Rina asked, her face deathly pale.
"That depends on how shrewish she is," Li Xiangdong said coldly.
"Bite...bite me, bite me to death...Waaah...I...I don't want to live anymore!" the saintess screamed hysterically.
"You can murder your husband, but I can't kill my mother or wife," Li Xiangdong sneered.
"You...Waaah...what else do you want?" the saintess cried.
"We've already been married, so naturally you have to fulfill your duties as a wife," Li Xiangdong said, walking to the bedside and pressing his hands on the saintess's head.
"No...no...Waaah...I don't want to!" the saintess wailed.
"You're mine, I'll make you do whatever I want!" Li Xiangdong laughed.
After using his Soul-Bewitching Technique, Li Xiangdong realized that the lustful aura still enveloped the saintess's true nature, without any gaps. He was puzzled. Since the moonlight hadn't broken his divine control technique, could the saintess have suddenly changed her mind? With a thought, he used magic to close the roof, blocking out the silvery moonlight.
As the moonlight faded, the saintess's gaze became unfocused. Whether she lacked the strength to struggle or something else, she allowed Rina and Lihua to bind her wrists to her ankles, leaving her exposed vulva exposed and raised high in the air.
"Mother, do you like it when your son fucks you?" Li Xiangdong, thinking he had succeeded, asked tentatively.
"No... you beast... you're not human..." the saintess cried, tears streaming down her face. "Let me die... sob... even if I suffer in the hell of lust, I will not marry you!"
"You slut!" Li Xiangdong was filled with remorse and cursed angrily. "You won't marry me even if you go to the hell of lust? It seems I'll have to ask the Yaksha to persuade you."
"You... waah... bite... I'm not afraid of being bitten to death." The saintess thought Li Xiangdong was about to unleash the monstrous snake again, and cried out in a fierce but cowardly tone.
"Not afraid of being bitten? Then I'll let you have your fun." Li Xiangdong climbed on top of the saintess, his erect penis rubbing against the split opening, saying, "I'll be in front, the demon behind, let me let you taste the clamping!"

[Episode 11, Chapter 4: Solo Invasion of the Tiger's Den]
Episode 11, Chapter 4: Solo Invasion of the Tiger's Den
Looking at the peerless beauty, whether saintess or demon queen, her hands and feet bound together, still unconscious, Rina couldn't help but check her breathing again, to see if she had truly passed away under Li Xiangdong's frenzied torment.
Rina had never seen Li Xiangdong as violent as he had been the night before, and couldn't imagine how this woman could endure it.
Although she hadn't witnessed the monstrous serpent of the Asura Yaksha, or how it joined Li Xiangdong in attacking the woman from both sides, Rina had no doubt about his words. The woman's screams and cries last night were no less horrific than when she had been tortured with a clamp.
Even without the monstrous serpent wreaking havoc in the chrysanthemum cave, she believed this mysterious woman would still have screamed so loudly it shook the rooftops, because Li Xiangdong was far too brutal, so brutal it was hard to tell whether to love or fear him.
The woman not only cried out in agony but also fainted at least two or three times, yet Li Xiangdong showed no mercy, relentlessly thrusting and pounding, giving her no chance to rest.
However, amidst her cries of agony, the woman also experienced multiple orgasms, feeling ecstatic, her lascivious cries never ceasing, making Rina's heart race, her heart flutter, and she wished she could take her place.
Rina knew that Lihua was in the same boat, perhaps even more so, because she had been touched and brushed against by Li Xiangdong without success.
She didn't know who had brought the double-headed dragon, but Rina finally simply embraced Lihua, relying on the fake phoenix and phallus to suppress her surging desires.
Lihua must have slept poorly; she remembered feeling Lihua tossing and turning beside her when she closed her eyes last night, and she was still fast asleep, not knowing when Lihua had finally fallen asleep.
"Rina..." the woman awoke, letting out a soft moan.
"...Your Majesty, are you...are you feeling better?" Rina responded softly, speaking timidly, stealing a glance at the woman's pink back where the demon's face had reappeared, knowing the Demon Queen had returned.
"I'm so tired..." the Demon Queen said weakly, "Untie the ropes, let me get up."
"The Emperor commands..." Rina said hesitantly.
"Never mind, I'm fine now," the Demon Queen sighed. "Wash me up, please."
Rina readily agreed, quickly getting out of bed to fetch a clean cloth. She had the Demon Queen lie on her back, then slowly opened her closed legs.
Last night, when the Holy Maiden first lost consciousness, the monstrous snake on her breasts had already opened its mouth. After getting up, Rina had also secretly looked at her anus; the snake's head had reappeared on her buttocks, baring its fangs at her delicate chrysanthemum.
Now, upon closer inspection, the ravaged vulva was naturally stained with filth, the pink labia slightly swollen and not fully closed, but it didn't seem as terrifying as the monstrous snake.
Rina twisted a fragrant cloth and carefully washed and wiped it clean, genuinely afraid of hurting the Demon Queen and incurring her scolding.
"Wipe your anus, it's a little itchy there," the Demon Queen said.
Rina was a little afraid that the strange snake coiled in the flesh cave might suddenly attack, but she had no choice but to comply. She could only grit her teeth, crumple the fragrant handkerchief into a ball, and cautiously wipe herself.
"Put your finger inside," the Demon Queen said nonchalantly.
"It...it will hurt a little," Rina stammered.
"Will it hurt more than last night?" the Demon Queen sneered. "Just be careful."
"Was it very painful last night?" Li Xiangdong woke up and asked coldly.
"It almost killed me!" the Demon Queen said, still shaken. "Dong'er, quickly untie your mother."
"Do you know why I bound you?" Li Xiangdong said coldly.
"Your mother was harmed by that vile woman, the Holy Maiden," the Demon Queen said sullenly.
"You know that too?" Li Xiangdong asked curiously.
"Just a little bit. Last night, when the moonlight shone on me, I became confused and couldn't control myself at all. Luckily, you weren't harmed by that vile woman, otherwise I don't know how I would have survived," the Demon Queen said, as if recalling something.
"Then do you feel anything too?" Li Xiangdong asked, frowning.
"Yes... but it seems like I don't..." the Demon Queen
said blankly. "What do you mean, 'both yes and no'?" Li Xiangdong asked, puzzled.
"When the Yaksha's monstrous snake bites someone, it hurts terribly, but when I think about how I'm punishing that poisonous woman, I feel happy, and it seems like the pain isn't so bad," the Demon Queen explained.
"Then when she's happy, are you happy too?" Li Xiangdong asked with a smile.
"Happy! Extremely happy," the Demon Queen replied without hesitation.
"Strange..." Li Xiangdong pondered, thinking that the soul-capturing technique seemed to have been very successful. If he could completely extinguish the Holy Maiden's true nature, the Demon Queen would be his.
"If I don't completely eliminate that vile woman, I'm afraid I'll be raising a tiger to cause trouble," the Demon Queen said regretfully.
"Let me think of a way," Li Xiangdong said thoughtfully. "I think she only comes out to cause trouble on the night of the full moon. As long as we lock you up on that day, she won't be able to harm anyone."
"Not only lock her up, but also punish her severely, let her know what's what!" the Demon Queen said through gritted teeth, as if she were talking about someone else.
"Good, that's it." Li Xiangdong laughed heartily, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Perhaps she can bring Yao Fengzhu back for me." The
terrain of Golden Leaf Valley is shaped like a crescent moon, surrounded by inward-curving cliffs. Apart from the two entrances on the east and west sides, behind the valley is a stone forest of chaotic rocks, filled with millstone-sized boulders.
Although there are narrow paths leading into Golden Leaf Valley, they can only be traversed through crevices where only one person can pass at a time. The chief guards have deployed experts from nine gangs and thirteen sects to guard this place, which is truly ingenious.
Chong Erzhuang, built against a wall, was quite magnificent and spacious. Originally a training ground for government spies, it was remodeled and transformed into a training ground for government prostitutes in order to lure Li Xiangdong. The men were all skilled fighters under the command of the head sergeant, while the women, except for Yao Fengzhu, were genuine government prostitutes.
After leaving the head sergeant's hideout in Jiangdu, Yao Fengzhu began a life of prostitution, being raped nightly by Sun Bu'er and Jin Ding Shangren in turns.
She feigned compliance, even using her newly mastered Heavenly Fox Heart Technique, which she had never used before, to serve them with a shy demeanor, hoping to lower their guard and make it easier to escape later.
Sun Bu'er and Jin Ding Shangren were both infatuated with Yao Fengzhu and agreed with the head sergeant's claim that she served Li Xiangdong only for sexual gratification. Now that they and Jin Ding could provide her with pleasure, they naturally wouldn't care about the life or death of her lover.
The head constable, leading a large army from Guanzhong, was busily setting up defenses around Jinye Valley, hoping to complete the operation before Li Xiangdong arrived. Once he entered the valley, they could block all roads and capture him.
Before heading to Chong'er Village, the head constable summoned Yao Fengzhu, coaxing and intimidating her into luring Li Xiangdong there. Then, under the watchful eye of the Golden Peak Man, he would use telepathy to inquire about Li Xiangdong's whereabouts, learning that he was still at sea and estimated to arrive in Guanzhong in at least twenty days. He instructed Yao Fengzhu to feign submission and patiently wait for him to arrive with reinforcements.
Knowing there was still time to prepare, the head constable's confidence grew. After issuing the orders, he instructed Sun Bu'er to take Yao Fengzhu to Chong'er Village, leaving the Golden Peak Man to assist her.
Upon arriving at Chong Er Manor, Sun Bu'er, following the orders of the head of the gang, sent men to the Stone Forest to await the arrival of the nine gangs and thirteen factions. He didn't go personally, not wanting to reveal his official status, but also to deploy defenses and prevent Li Xiangdong from breaking through the encirclement and storming into Chong Er Manor.
Despite his busy schedule, Sun Bu'er couldn't forget Yao Fengzhu. Unfortunately, his daily sexual activity had exhausted him, and he worried that Yao Fengzhu might succumb to loneliness and change her affections. Therefore, he ordered his men to pose as clients of prostitutes and have sex with Yao Fengzhu, claiming that only nightly passion could satisfy her.
Yao Fengzhu thought this was another instance of the head of the gang deliberately humiliating her, but being under someone else's roof, she had no choice but to endure it, knowing they would surely face retribution.
The more humiliations she suffered, the less Yao Fengzhu cared. When she was violated, she even used her lustful powers to fully enjoy the pleasure of carnal desire, finding ecstasy in it.
Perhaps due to further improvement in her lustful divine skills, Yao Fengzhu began to feel a warm energy as she reached her climax. This energy flowed from her opponent's penis through her clitoris and into her lower abdomen, then combined with her own internal energy. She believed it was the absorbed internal force, but unfortunately, she was still affected by the bone-softening powder and couldn't confirm whether her skills had improved.
To prevent Yao Fengzhu from suddenly changing her mind and secretly communicating with Li Xiangdong, Sun Bu'er locked her in a room with a demon-subduing talisman hanging in the wall, unaware that Yao Fengzhu had already broken the talisman.
Because Li Xiangdong had given strict orders not to disturb her, Yao Fengzhu, despite breaking the talisman, did not use telepathy to contact him and could only anxiously await his instructions.
Finally, on this day, she received Li Xiangdong's instructions, which filled Yao Fengzhu with both surprise and joy. She was joyful because there was hope of escape, but terrified because she didn't know what kind of punishment she would face upon returning to the Asura Sect.
At this time, Li Xiangdong and the Demon Queen were already on their way, but instead of heading to the Golden Leaf Valley in Guanzhong, they avoided the road to Guanzhong and entered the deep mountains.
"Dong'er, aren't we going to rescue Fengzhu?" the Demon Queen finally couldn't help but ask.
Her head, face, and body were completely covered by a black cloak, and if they weren't walking along remote mountain paths, they would inevitably attract curious glances.
"Who says we aren't?" Li Xiangdong frowned. "Xiuxin, once we're outside, we can't call you Dong'er anymore, otherwise the dignified leader of the Asura Sect will act like a child."
"I know." The Demon Queen persisted. "Guanzhong is further ahead; if we go any further, we'll be going further and further away."
"Within a hundred li of Guanzhong, all the roads leading to Golden Leaf Valley are covered with government spies. As soon as they see us, the head constable will know," Li Xiangdong explained.
"Full of hidden lines?" the Demon Queen asked suspiciously. "No way, Fengzhu didn't say that."
"It wasn't Fengzhu who said it," Li Xiangdong laughed. "It was our spies infiltrating the government who gathered this information."
"I'm dressed like this, and you can also disguise yourself. What use are those hidden lines? How can they recognize us?" the Demon Queen asked, puzzled.
"If we use the invincible divine weapon, then they'll be useful," Li Xiangdong laughed. "The leader thought I would have to go to great lengths, but it turns out it's just the two of us."
"Just the two of us?" the Demon Queen exclaimed in surprise. "Then how can we defeat ten thousand elite soldiers?"
"Sometimes it's not about numbers. We need Fengzhu; we don't need to fight them head-on," Li Xiangdong said confidently.
"Then how do we get in?" the Demon Queen sighed.
"We'll take a detour to the Stone Forest and enter from there," Li Xiangdong replied.
"But didn't you say that the masters of the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects are all waiting there? How can we break in?" the Demon Queen asked, confused.
"It's not you and me, it's just you alone," Li Xiangdong said with a sly smile. "You impersonate the Holy Maiden, and trick them into leaving. I'll then go into the valley alone to rescue them." "Are
you sure you can manage alone?" the Demon Queen asked, her face filled with worry.
"Just distract Ding Ling and the others," Li Xiangdong nodded.
"Should we take the opportunity to capture Ding Ling?" the Demon Queen asked eagerly, always wanting to show off her skills after mastering the Asura technique.
"If there's a chance, that would be great," Li Xiangdong laughed. "But don't ruin her. I don't believe I can't defeat the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra's Fallen Blood Exorcism Technique."
"Don't underestimate her. Yu Chi Yuan suffered a crushing defeat because of this back then," the Demon Queen warned.
“I know what I’m doing,” Li Xiangdong nodded. “After you finish this path, you’ll reach the other end of the Stone Forest. Be prepared.”
Since the Holy Maiden’s crushing defeat of Li Xiangdong, the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects had breathed a sigh of relief, believing that peace would soon return to the martial world. However, the Asura Cult attacked the Pai Cult again, the Holy Maiden mysteriously disappeared, then the Heavenly Fox Beauty stole the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng, Ciyun Qunni starved herself to death, and the remnants of the Asura Cult vanished once more. All these signs indicated that the calamities of the martial world were far from over, and the various sects couldn’t help but become wary again.
The Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects almost unanimously believed that the Ten-Thousand-Year Ginseng would inevitably fall into Li Xiangdong’s hands. Not wanting to sit idly by and wait for their doom, they elected Ding Ling to lead an anti-traitor squad, intending to eliminate Li Xiangdong’s forces before he recovered from his injuries. Kongtong Wuxin and Liuhe Ye Neng, however, were not convinced that Ding Ling, a young woman, was inexperienced and therefore did not participate.
Under the leadership of Ding Ling and others, the anti-traitor squad traveled extensively, searching for the Asura Gang and also investigating the whereabouts of the Holy Maiden. Unfortunately, they only discovered that Li Xiangdong and his men were focused on dealing with the Nine-Child Demon Mother. After learning this, the Heavenly Demon Path suddenly disappeared, rendering their efforts futile.
Just as everyone was feeling dejected, they suddenly received a summons from the head of the gang, ordering them to go to the Stone Forest to assist the government troops in intercepting Li Xiangdong. Naturally, they were overjoyed, especially knowing that the Kongtong and Liuhe sects had also sent experts to participate. Unfortunately, the head of the gang was suspicious and paranoid, not only thinking he was clever but also harboring ulterior motives, deliberately concealing the truth. The two sides failed to cooperate, giving Li Xiangdong an opportunity.
The Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects only knew that Li Xiangdong was likely to pass through Golden Leaf Valley soon. The head of the gang deployed troops to ambush outside Golden Leaf Valley, while the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects monitored the Stone Forest. If Li Xiangdong entered the valley from the Stone Forest, they would launch a combined attack, determined to kill him.
Ding Ling believed it to be true and thus deployed her main force at the entrance to Golden Leaf Valley from the Stone Forest. If Li Xiangdong entered the valley from there, they would be able to detect him early and prepare accordingly.
The messenger sent by Sun Bu'er was ordered not to divulge military intelligence and knew nothing of the key details. His mission was simply to inform the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects that Li Xiangdong's whereabouts were elusive and it was impossible to estimate when he would pass through the area, instructing them to wait for at least a month. After receiving the heroes' agreement, he returned to report.
The Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects waited for several days when they suddenly received news that someone was approaching the Stone Forest. Everyone became very nervous and rushed to the entrance to spy.
Soon, a woman in white appeared from afar with fluid grace. Her figure was light and her movements graceful, yet her speed was astounding; she was already upon them in the blink of an eye, clearly a rare martial arts master.
"Holy Maiden!" someone exclaimed.
The newcomer was indeed the revered Heavenly Pool Saintess, a peerless beauty. Her hair was styled in a double-bun hairstyle, and she wore a snow-white gown embroidered with yellow flowers. Her beauty was breathtaking, so stunning that one dared not look directly at her.
The Saintess's sudden appearance delighted the assembled heroes. Many, including Ding Ling and the leaders of various sects, couldn't help but emerge from the shadows and rush forward to pay their respects.
"What brings you here? Have you seen Li Xiangdong?" the Saintess asked, seemingly anxious, nodding in return.
"Li Xiangdong? No, we received a tip, so we set up an ambush here to intercept him," the Beggar Clan's helper, Sang Shu, replied.
"Damn it, he tricked us again," the Saintess exclaimed, stamping her foot.
"Saintess, are you chasing Li Xiangdong?" Qingcheng Jingxu asked.
"Yes, I've been chasing him for half a year, traversing the north and south of the Yangtze River. Several times I almost succeeded, but in the end, I was fooled by his tricks, led astray, and wasted all my efforts," the Saintess sighed.
"We outnumber them and have the Holy Maiden in charge, we can keep chasing!" Tan Duan, the top expert of the Eagle Claw Sect, said eagerly.
"How many of you are there?" the Holy Maiden asked.
"About two hundred, all experts from the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects," Ding Ling replied.
"Excellent!" the Holy Maiden exclaimed happily. "He's still recovering from his serious injuries, he shouldn't have gone far. Gather your men and follow me immediately."
"He was injured by the Holy Maiden last time, and he hasn't fully recovered yet?" the Wise Elder Chen Tong asked, frowning. "Wasn't it him who ordered Mei Ji to steal the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng?"
"The injuries he sustained at the Pai Sect's headquarters were almost healed, but he was struck twice by my palms the other day, and he was in a hurry to escape, so he didn't have time to heal," the Holy Maiden replied.
"Excellent, let's set off immediately!" the crowd cheered.
The Holy Maiden divided the crowd into four groups. She, Ding Ling, and the Shaolin monks Da Fang and the Eighteen Arhats walked together, each pursuing the enemy separately.
Ding Ling and the others naturally obeyed without question, believing the Holy Maiden was superior to the government troops, eager to follow her to slay demons and monsters, without even considering sending someone to report the situation.
After witnessing everyone follow the demon queen disguised as a saintess, Li Xiangdong leisurely traversed the stone forest. Knowing the demon queen would lead everyone far away, he didn't rush to Chong Er Village to rescue them. Instead, he made arrangements around the area, waiting until nightfall to begin his operation.
That day, Sun Bu'er felt in high spirits and, overcome by lust, took an aphrodisiac and stormed into Yao Fengzhu's boudoir.
Yao Fengzhu's boudoir was no different from those of other girls who had become courtesans; the furnishings were relatively elegant, but the door was locked, and there were guards at the entrance, making it resemble a prison cell.
Sun Bu'er dismissed the guards, opened the door, and entered. He found Yao Fengzhu wearing a green silk robe, lazily leaning against the cloud bed, lost in thought. When she looked up and saw Sun Bu'er enter, her expression tightened, and she quickly sat up. Her robe fell open, and her swollen breasts popped out, revealing that there was nothing underneath.
"Did I scare you?" Sun Bu'er said with a lewd grin as he sat down beside Yao Fengzhu.
“What am I afraid of? It’s just strange that people are already going to brothels when the sun has just set,” Yao Fengzhu said sullenly.
“Are you angry that I didn’t come to see you? I’ve been very busy these past few days, so I had to have others serve you,” Sun Bu’er said with a grin, pulling Yao Fengzhu into his arms.
“I don’t want to!” Yao Fengzhu said angrily, struggling to break free.
“You say you don’t want to, but you still want to, don’t you?” Sun Bu’er pulled Yao Fengzhu into his arms again, kneading her breasts, and said, “Let me serve you myself tonight.”
“Are you sure you can handle it?” Yao Fengzhu sneered.
“Why not?” Sun Bu’er pulled her jade-like hands down to her abdomen and said, “He’s starting to get wicked.”
“You two are always fooling around. If Li Xiangdong really comes, you’ll definitely die a horrible death,” Yao Fengzhu said angrily.
“The boss has already laid a trap. Even a fly can’t escape his surveillance. The worst thing is if people don’t come. If they do, they’ll never come back,” Sun Bu’er continued, groping her.
“He’s incredibly powerful; he might be able to get here unnoticed,” Yao Fengzhu said, almost threateningly.
“Those demonic armies certainly can’t get here. If he’s alone, there are countless experts here; what’s there to fear?” Sun Bu’er scoffed.
“But his magical powers are incredibly strong, and besides, not everyone here possesses a magical talisman,” Yao Fengzhu said dismissively.
“I also have a few Thunderbolts; they can definitely pulverize him,” Sun Bu’er boasted.
“You mean the Thunderbolts of the Zhu Rong Sect?” Yao Fengzhu asked curiously. “What do they look like? I’ve never seen them before.”
“These things are extremely dangerous; what’s there to see?” Sun Bu’er shook his head.
“If you won’t let me see, then don’t touch me,” Yao Fengzhu said coquettishly.
“If I don’t touch you, who will tickle you?” Sun Bu’er chuckled.
“So what if I tickle? Is it going to kill me?” Yao Fengzhu cursed, her words swift and unpleasant, but she suddenly realized how shameless she had become.
“I can let you see, but…” Sun Bu’er said with a sly smile.
“But what?” Yao Fengzhu asked.
“But you have to eat my cock.” Sun Bu’er said with a lewd grin.
“I’ll eat it, it’s not like I haven’t eaten it before.” Yao Fengzhu blushed and said.
“No cheating.” Sun Bu’er said.
As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from his bosom, opened the lid, and saw four gleaming silver iron balls inside. These were the incredibly powerful Thunderbolts, famous throughout the martial arts world.
“A few small iron balls, what’s so great about them? Let me see.” Yao Fengzhu pouted and reached out her jade-like hand to take the wooden box.
“You can look, but you can’t touch it… Ah… Be careful.” Sun Bu’er quickly withdrew his hand, but Yao Fengzhu was incredibly fast and managed to snatch the wooden box from his hand.
“I heard that as long as you throw it on the ground, it will explode immediately, is that true?” Yao Fengzhu did a somersault and sprang up from the cloud bed, picked up an iron ball, and pretended to throw it.
"Don't throw it down! Give it back to me! Give it back to me now!" Sun Bu'er cried out in alarm.
Terrified, Sun Bu'er stumbled back several steps, appearing flustered and desperate. In his panic, he didn't notice that Yao Fengzhu had suddenly regained her strength, as if the muscle-relaxing powder had been dispelled.
"Sun Bu'er, you heartless scoundrel, do you know your retribution has come?" Yao Fengzhu shouted fiercely, ignoring the fact that her silk robe was wide open, exposing her voluptuous body to the air.
"Fengzhu, don't joke around! Give me back the Thunderbolt!" Sun Bu'er cried out anxiously, realizing the danger.
"Who's joking with you!" Yao Fengzhu cried out in grief and indignation, "You're unworthy of being the leader of the Seven Star Gang! You've become an accomplice to evil, forcing a good woman into prostitution! Not only did you rape me, but you also ordered others to assault me! Don't you deserve to die?"
"You're right… I was wrong. If you don't like it, then I won't let anyone else touch you," Sun Bu'er said, hesitant to act.
"Too late, it's no use saying anything now!" Yao Fengzhu gritted her teeth, but put the Thunderbolt back into the wooden box and closed the lid.
"That's right, give me back the box, I'll treat you well from now on." Sun Bu'er breathed a sigh of relief and said with a gentle smile, secretly plotting how to deal with this suddenly crazy bitch later.
"What use is this box to you, taking it back to your hometown?" A handsome young man suddenly strolled out from behind the bed and said with a smile.
"Who is it?" Sun Bu'er was shocked and asked, not understanding how someone could easily hide here with such heavy guards.
"Don't you recognize our sect leader Li Xiangdong?" Yao Fengzhu said coldly.
"Li Xiangdong!" Sun Bu'er exclaimed in horror.
Although he had never met Li Xiangdong, he had seen the portrait circulated by the chief and found that the newcomer was indeed similar to the portrait. Sun Bu'er immediately felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and was at a loss.
"You have the guts to oppose our sect, but you don't recognize me?" Li Xiangdong sneered.
"I'll fight you to the death!" Sun Bu'er roared, his figure seemingly advancing but actually retreating, suddenly turning and rushing towards the door.
"Do you think you can get away?" Li Xiangdong scoffed, standing calmly and motionless.
Strangely enough, Sun Bu'er couldn't take more than two steps before suddenly seeming to sink into quagmire, unable to move forward any further. Only then did he realize he was trapped by sorcery.
"Someone's here... there's a spy!" Sun Bu'er screamed in terror.
"What's the use of screaming? The gods and demons outside can't hear you." Li Xiangdong laughed.
Sun Bu'er screamed a few more times, but as expected, the gods and demons outside didn't react. He realized something was wrong and said in a trembling voice, "You... what do you want?"
"Of course I'll kill you. Don't be nervous. A lackey like you is no match for me." Li Xiangdong laughed loudly. "Fengzhu, it's all yours now."
"This servant...this servant can do it?" At this moment, Yao Fengzhu was adjusting her clothes and fastening her belt to cover her fair and white body. Hearing this, she was startled and said timidly.
"Of course you can." Li Xiangdong said coldly, "Fight him head-on. I order you to kill him alive within three moves!"
"Yes!" Yao Fengzhu gritted her teeth and immediately gathered her strength.
"You filthy bitch, I'll take three of your blows!" Sun Bu'er said.
Knowing that Li Xiangdong wouldn't make a move, Sun Bu'er breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that his strength far surpassed Yao Fengzhu's, so how could he not withstand these three blows? If he could defeat her, perhaps there would still be a glimmer of hope.
"You dog, take this!" Yao Fengzhu shouted and swung her palm to strike.
Sun Bu'er sneered and raised his palm to meet it.
With a resounding "thud," Sun Bu'er was sent flying backward, crashing into the door. However, an invisible wall blocked his path, and he screamed in agony, spitting out blood before collapsing to the ground, already dead.
"Useless," Li Xiangdong shook his head.
"How...how could this be?" Yao Fengzhu cried out in disbelief.
"How many times did he do it to you?" Li Xiangdong countered with a question.
"Many times, I can't remember," Yao Fengzhu replied bitterly.
"So all his power has been drained by his lustful divine skill," Li Xiangdong laughed.
"I see," Yao Fengzhu exclaimed, suddenly understanding. At this moment,
Yao Fengzhu finally felt a little relieved, realizing that she had accidentally learned the technique of neutralizing internal energy, and by doing so, she had been able to kill this traitor in one fell swoop.
"Do you know your crime?" Li Xiangdong suddenly asked coldly.
"This servant knows her crime!" Yao Fengzhu was startled and knelt down with a thud, crying out, "Master, it was my fault... I will never dare to do it again."
"Any future?" Li Xiangdong sneered.
"Master, please have mercy and spare this servant," Yao Fengzhu sobbed. "I will do my best to serve the sect from now on."
"If everyone were like you, what use would the sect's rules be?" Li Xiangdong said coldly.
"This servant is willing to accept punishment," Yao Fengzhu said through gritted teeth, "just don't throw me into the lewd prison."
"Afraid of going to the lewd prison?" Li Xiangdong sneered.
"This servant's crimes are heinous, and I deserve to be thrown into the lewd prison," Yao Fengzhu said.
Knowing Li Xiangdong's personality, Yao Fengzhu knew that the more afraid she was, the less likely she was to escape her fate. She pleaded desperately, "But if I'm sent to the Prison of Lust, I won't be able to serve you, Master."
"You know how to talk," Li Xiangdong said noncommittally, then said in a deep voice, "Get up, let's go."
"Master, could I change into Sun Bu'er's clothes?" Yao Fengzhu stammered.
"Why?" Li Xiangdong asked curiously.
"These clothes are inconvenient for movement. These are the only clothes the girls in Chong Er Village have. I can only change into men's clothing
," Yao Fengzhu explained. "Why make things so complicated? Change into your battle armor
," Li Xiangdong sneered. Yao Fengzhu hadn't worn her witch's battle armor for a long time. After reciting the incantation, her pretty face immediately became ferocious and terrifying, and her naked body was tightly wrapped in a fiery red bodysuit.
"These are old clothes. When we get back, I'll have Meiji design a new outfit for you," Li Xiangdong nodded.
During the battle against the Paijiao sect, Yao Fengzhu had witnessed the shameful battle attire of Meiji and others. Her decision to surrender then stemmed from those humiliating garments. Now, hearing that she too would have to make a fool of herself like them, she felt not much distress, but rather a sense of joy, because it seemed Li Xiangdong would spare her life.
After Yao Fengzhu was properly dressed, Li Xiangdong retrieved the Thunderbolt Fire and then leisurely went out to retrieve it, as if returning to his own home.
Yao Fengzhu knew the defenses were heavy and a fierce battle was inevitable. Although unarmed, she was fearless, not only because of her greatly improved martial arts skills, but more importantly, because she was with Li Xiangdong.
Since Li Xiangdong had managed to enter her room undetected, dispel the bone-softening powder, restore her martial arts, and kill Sun Bu'er and seize the Thunderbolt Fire without alerting the officials and experts, it wouldn't be difficult for him to take her out.
What Yao Fengzhu hadn't anticipated was Li Xiangdong's terrifying skill. He encountered sixteen guards in succession, yet none of them had a chance to attack before collapsing to the ground without a sound. Three of them, huddled together, seemed to be possessed, allowing Li Xiangdong to unleash his deadly attacks. If it hadn't been so late at night, with most of them either asleep or indulging in debauchery in the brothels, the number of dead would have been far greater.
"Alright, while it's still early, let's go scout out the big boss." After leaving Chong Er Manor, Li Xiangdong didn't rush to escape but instead headed towards the soldiers' encampment.
"What? They…they have over ten thousand soldiers!" Yao Fengzhu exclaimed in surprise.
"It's not like we're going to fight them head-on, what's there to be afraid of?" Li Xiangdong laughed heartily.
At this time, the group led by the Demon Queen also found lodging and prepared to rest.
During their pursuit of Li Xiangdong, they encountered a fork in the road, and the Demon Queen dispersed her forces. Now, only Ding Ling and the eighteen Arhats brought by Shaolin Dafang remained, staying in a dilapidated temple in the mountains.
Men and women should not touch each other, so it was naturally inconvenient for Dafang and the Demon Queen to be with Ding Ling. The Demon Queen also pretended to have something to discuss with Ding Ling, and the two shared a room.
"Holy Maiden, there shouldn't be any forks in the road from here to the sea. It should only take five days at most. Why did you arrange for the other pursuing teams to meet in Jiangxi seven days later?" Ding Ling asked, puzzled.
"If Li Xiangdong doesn't escape in this direction, he will take a detour to the sea. If we catch up with him first in this direction, he won't be able to escape. Otherwise, if we go to Jiangxi first and attack from both sides, we can still make him pay for his evil deeds," the Demon Queen explained.
"Is he really badly injured? Shouldn't we each lead a separate group and pursue him separately?" Ding Ling continued to ask.
"Are you worried that the others can't withstand his demonic magic?" the Demon Queen chuckled. "They all possess demon-subduing talismans, so they're immune to demonic magic. Besides, he's been struck by my palms several times, damaging his meridians. Most of his demonic arts have been countered by the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, so he's not as powerful as before. I've secretly informed the leaders of each group via telepathy, without revealing it publicly, just to prevent them from underestimating him and making mistakes."
"I see," Ding Ling said, suddenly understanding.
"Also, I'm traveling with you to pass on my recent insights and help you inherit my mantle," the Demon Queen said affectionately.
"Thank you, Holy Maiden!" Ding Ling was deeply grateful and bowed deeply before the Demon Queen.
"Child, get up and let's talk." The Demon Queen helped Ding Ling up and sat her beside her on the bed. "Back then, although I subdued Yu Chi Yuan with the Fallen Blood Exorcism Technique, I was still seriously injured. Do you know why?"
"But...but Yu Chi Yuan was too...too rough, so I couldn't use my full strength?" Ding Ling stammered, knowing how badly the Holy Maiden had suffered back then.
"That's about it." The Demon Queen took Ding Ling's slender hand and nodded. "The reason I couldn't use my full strength was because I was inexperienced."
"If that weren't the case, how could you have used the Fallen Blood Exorcism Technique?" Ding Ling asked curiously, noticing that the Holy Maiden's clothes were all made of fine silk and satin, and that she smelled wonderfully of perfume, unlike the simple clothes she remembered.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" The Demon Queen didn't answer, but asked instead.
"No," Ding Ling said, blushing.
"Have you ever tried being intimate with a man?" the Demon Queen continued to ask.
"Never again," Ding Ling exclaimed hastily, thinking to herself that she was still a virgin, and all her disciples were female; how could she have been intimate with a man?
"Then you're just like me back then," the Demon Queen sighed. "If it weren't for that, we wouldn't have won in name only, leaving behind Li Xiangdong as a source of trouble."
"Winned in name only?" Ding Ling asked in surprise.
"That's right. It was because I had no experience with men that my Dao heart repeatedly failed me when I was raped by Yu Chi Yuan, damaging my true essence and preventing me from reaching the highest level of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra. That's why Li Xiangdong was able to break through and escape time and time again. If we had your help this time and still couldn't kill him, I'm afraid there would be no hope of getting rid of this demon in the future," the Demon Queen said regretfully.
"If... if I had been intimate with men, I wouldn't have been able to use the Fallen Blood Exorcism Technique," Ding Ling said, her pretty face flushed.
"Intimacy doesn't necessarily mean losing your virginity; as long as you can taste the pleasure, that's enough," the Demon Queen giggled.
"How can one truly understand its flavor?" Ding Ling asked, bewildered.
"Let me teach you..." the Demon Queen said with a grin, embracing Ding Ling's fragrant shoulder.
The chief commander had deployed spies extensively along the east and west roads leading into and out of Golden Leaf Valley, but had divided the army into three groups, stationed in concealed locations within the valley. Two groups were positioned near the valley entrance, waiting to block the roads once Li Xiangdong led the demon army into the valley. The main force, however, hid in the forest, waiting to surround the Asura demons when they entered an open area, leaving them with no way out.
In addition to the magic talismans and thunderbolts, the army also stored a large quantity of pine branches coated with fire oil, which could be used for night battles and, hopefully, to break the demonic spells. But the strangest thing was that hundreds of military prostitutes accompanied them.
It turned out that the chief commander believed Yao Fengzhu's fabricated testimony, thinking that naked women could make the demonic army lose control, and these military prostitutes were, of course, indispensable.
The chief steward firmly believed that it was better if Li Xiangdong didn't come; to rescue them, a large force would be needed, entering the valley from the front. He never dreamed that Li Xiangdong would be the only one, and that he would come through the stone forest behind the valley, his attention completely focused on the two paths ahead, allowing him to easily approach the camp.
However, getting close to the camp was useless. Seeing the surrounding layout, Li Xiangdong abandoned the idea of infiltrating the camp.
It turned out that the vast camp had few barracks; the soldiers were all densely packed together, sleeping on the ground in what appeared to be tents for important figures, making infiltration impossible.
"Let's climb the trees and see clearly," Li Xiangdong instructed telepathically, seeing several towering ancient trees behind the camp.
Yao Fengzhu nodded, following Li Xiangdong around the camp, then using her lightness skill to climb the trees and look out from the heights.
It was late at night. Apart from the soldiers on guard duty, most were fast asleep. The vast forest was filled with men, with only a dozen or so barracks standing. The one in the middle was the largest and heavily guarded, presumably the chieftain's quarters.
The stables were in a clearing to the left rear of the forest, naturally heavily guarded. Strangely, there were even more guards next door, presumably for the chests piled there.
"Wait for me to come back," Li Xiangdong said, then gracefully descended the tree. When he returned, he was carrying an iron bow, which he had likely taken from among the sleeping soldiers.
Seeing Li Xiangdong take out a Thunderbolt, Yao Fengzhu believed he was going to use the bow to fire it, but she wondered who would suffer the consequences.
Yao Fengzhu's guess was correct; Li Xiangdong indeed fired a Thunderbolt. In the darkness, the iron-bullet-like sphere shot like a meteor, and even those who heard the sound of it cutting through the air could not stop it.
The Thunderbolt's target was a wooden crate next to the stable. The moment the iron ball hit the ground, it exploded violently, spewing forth a raging inferno.
The flames instantly engulfed the crates, which likely contained flammable materials, turning them into a sea of fire in an instant, with continuous explosions. The entire camp shook violently, and countless soldiers were killed or wounded.
The explosion seemed to freeze the entire camp in shock. After a while, someone shouted for help to put out the fire, and then chaos erupted as men and horses charged and trampled each other.
Li Xiangdong secretly lamented his misfortune; if the Invincible Divine Weapon were also present, he could have taken advantage of the chaos to carnage. Even releasing the Evil Demon of the Lustful Prison would only add to the chaos, not kill the enemy.
At this moment, some officers rushed out of their tents. Seeing the flames everywhere, most soldiers shouting and screaming uncontrollably, some even slashing indiscriminately, they too were in a state of panic. A few more astute officers brandished their whips, shouting and cursing, hoping to restore order to the chaotic army.
Li Xiangdong focused his gaze on the larger tent in the center. Soon enough, he saw the chief commander, his head, face, and body completely covered in a black robe, rush out, followed by the pretty Xiao Ya. Li Xiangdong, noticing Xiao Ya's disheveled appearance, assumed Princess Yuzhi beneath the chief commander's black robe was in no better shape.
Then, the Golden Peak Man appeared, rushing angrily to the chief commander's side to report.
The chief commander glanced around the camp, sensing the dire situation. After a moment's thought, he took something from his robes and threw it into the air.
Another deafening roar followed. The chief commander had hurled a thunderbolt, but she aimed it at an open area, injuring only a few unfortunate stragglers.
The loud noise snapped the soldiers out of their panic. Many were genuinely terrified, unsure what had happened. Then, at the chief commander's instruction, the Golden Peak Man loudly ordered everyone to put out the fire and set up camp.
The other generals, still shaken, also took charge of their troops, restoring order to the camp. Slowly, some began fighting the fire.
Li Xiangdong had originally intended to take advantage of the chaos to ambush the chieftain, but he hadn't expected her to stabilize the situation so quickly. Worse still, everyone in the army had woken up. Although many were busy fighting the fire and rescuing people, many others were on guard, and no one was allowed to climb down from the trees unless they forced their way in.
