Episode 14, Chapter 3: Unity of Heart and Mind
, with the help of several invincible divine soldiers, Meiji Hongdie and Lihua carried in a wooden plank about ten feet long with two holes at each end. They then installed a sturdy base in the middle of the plank, and the "Unity of Heart and Mind" was complete.
"It looks like a balance scale. Is this what 'Unity of Heart and Mind' means?" Li Xiangdong asked, puzzled, noticing that the plank on the base, with one end down and the other up, could move freely up and down.
"Why don't you try it out?" the Demon Queen giggled.
"Should we attach the Soul-Sealing Rod?" Meiji asked.
"Whatever you want," the Demon Queen said indifferently.
“Then I’ll go.” Red Butterfly chuckled, squatting on one end of the plank on the ground, her bottom sinking into the hole, her hands gripping the handles in front of her. “If this thing didn’t have the Soul-Stimulating Rod attached, it would be quite fun.”
“I’ll play too.” Meiji walked to the other end, forcefully pressing down the plank pointing diagonally into the air. Red Butterfly slowly rose into the air, then Meiji leaped up, each taking a position on one end.
At this moment, Red Butterfly had already tied a rope to the beam. Then, she lowered her waist, and Meiji simultaneously gathered her energy, rising up as well, also hanging a rope from the beam.
“Are they being suspended by ropes?” Li Xiangdong asked with a smile.
“More or less,” the Demon Queen replied.
The two women each held a rope, one pulling hard while the other let go. The one pulling the rope rose, while the one letting go sank to the ground. They went up and down, one after the other, having a great time. It was quite amusing.
“This…this seesaw is just a children’s toy, how can it be fun?” Li Xiangdong shook his head.
“It’ll be different once you attach the aphrodisiac.” The Demon Queen chuckled as she and Li Hua placed two small stools under Mei Ji and Hong Die respectively. The two women were terrified and quickly pulled themselves up on the ropes, suspending themselves in mid-air. It turned out that each stool contained a prosthetic device, as thick as a child’s arm and about a foot long, covered in bumps. If they continued to sit down, it would penetrate their vaginas.
“I see,” Li Xiangdong exclaimed, suddenly understanding. “If Mei Ji and Hong Die refused to sit down, it would be no fun.”
“Mei Ji and Hong Die still have their martial arts skills, which is why they can keep going. Those two little sluts have no internal energy; how much strength can they muster? And with the Three Wonders Aphrodisiac Oil applied, they have no choice but to sit down,” the Demon Queen chuckled.
"The two of them are also eager to sit down, so they're working together, right?" Li Xiangdong nodded. "But that thing is really big; it'll break them."
"That was made by Meiji according to your size. How could it break them?" The Demon Queen shook her head.
"Get them up there first. Don't rush to apply the oil," Li Xiangdong said cruelly. "Let's see how long they can hold out."
"Alright, you can get down now. It's my two little daughters' turn to play," the Demon Queen ordered.
At this moment, Yuzhi had already completed her task and was squatting to the side like a female dog. Seeing Meiji and the others untie the cursing Yexing and Yeyue, she thought to herself that Li Xiangdong and these demons were all crazy, actually creating such bizarre and ingenious contraptions. She didn't know how she could survive.
In no time, the Demon Queen and the others tied Yexing and Yeyue to the two ends of the seesaw, their bare buttocks sinking into the hole above, with the terrifying contraption below. The two women had to hold on tightly to the ropes above their heads to prevent the contraption from being inserted into their flesh.
Both women had lost all their internal energy, and their minds and bodies had suffered greatly. Weak and feeble, they dared not imagine the agony of being penetrated by the giant-like imposter beneath them. They knew that unless they submitted, begging for mercy would be futile. They could only grit their teeth and endure as long as they could.
The most unbearable thing was watching helplessly as their mother was brutally ravaged by that inhuman zombie. The equally terrifying hairy rod was viciously thrusting in and out of her anus, a sight too gruesome to bear. She even seemed to understand how to cry out in pain, making strange "squeaks" that only added to the women's heartbreak.
"Accept your fate. No one can defeat me," Li Xiangdong said, gently stroking Ye Yue's head. Secretly, he used his Soul-Hooking Technique to probe her three souls and seven spirits, hoping to find the reason why the two women had suddenly regained their senses after being subdued.
"...Waaah...kill us, I...I don't want to live anymore," Ye Yue sobbed, feeling her strength fading, unsure how much longer she could hold on.
“I am your destined man, and she is your mother. How could I take your lives?” Li Xiangdong frowned.
“No…no, you’re lying to me!” Ye Yue screamed hysterically. Suddenly, her hands lost strength, and she let go of the rope.
Ye Xing felt the weight on her hands lighten, and her body rose up at the same time. Knowing that Ye Yue couldn’t hold on, she quickly lowered herself to sit down and maintain her balance. However, she was also weak. Watching Ye Yue sit down on the fake stool that looked like a rolling pin, she couldn’t help but scream in terror.
Ye Yue was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. With a scream, her buttocks landed on the ground. She thought it would hurt terribly, but the small stool under her suddenly disappeared. It turned out that Li Xiangdong had kicked the stool away at the last moment.
“You almost stabbed it in. Be prepared, don’t anger the Emperor.” The Demon Queen said with feigned compassion.
“No…I won’t…!” Despite breaking out in a cold sweat, Ye Yue still screamed fiercely.
"Apply the Three Wonders Aphrodisiac Oil, don't be stingy, apply a lot." Li Xiangdong sneered, "Forget the small stools, let's see if they beg me."
The women, eager to join in the fun, giggled and rubbed the Three Wonders Aphrodisiac Oil into Ye Xing and Ye Yue's vulvas, even taking turns sticking their slender fingers inside, causing them to moan and cry out in agony.
"Enough, you've applied so much, they're itching to death." The Demon Queen stopped the women.
"Listen carefully, the Three Wonders Aphrodisiac Oil can make you itch to death. Apart from my big cock, nothing or no one can relieve your itch. If you want relief, you can only beg me." Li Xiangdong said cruelly.
"No... I... we won't beg you!" Ye Yue gritted her teeth, feeling an intense itch in her vulva, it seemed the Three Wonders Aphrodisiac Oil had already taken effect.
"Children, don't be stubborn. No woman can withstand the Three Wonders Aphrodisiac Oil. When you can't stand it anymore, tell your mother, and I will teach you how to beg the Emperor." The Demon Queen chuckled.
"No...no...we don't ask...!" the two women screamed.
Ye Xing and Ye Yue said no, but their bodies, bound to the long plank, writhed uncontrollably, emitting soft moans and cries—the Three Wonders Aphrodisiac Oil had taken effect.
Not long after, Ye Xing suddenly released her grip, her body sinking to the ground. Almost simultaneously, Ye Yue also released her ropes and sat down heavily. The two women sat awkwardly on the long plank, neither up nor down.
"Is it itchy?" the Demon Queen asked, walking to Ye Yue's feet and touching her wet, alluring vulva.
"...Itchy...it's killing me with itchiness...!" Ye Yue screamed.
"Would you like the Emperor to relieve your itch?" the Demon Queen laughed.
"No...ah...I...don't...give it to me...!" Ye Yue cried out, her head spinning.
"Do you want it or not?" Li Xiangdong laughed loudly.
"Yes...no...no...!" Ye Xing cried out desperately.
"Whoever wants to relieve the itch, just repeat after me," the Demon Queen giggled. "Good brother..."
"Good brother..." Ye Xing and Ye Yue actually spoke.
"Sister is so itchy, I want your big cock..." the Demon Queen continued.
"So itchy, I... I want your big cock..." the two women cried out in confusion.
"Alright, I'll give you a good tickle!" Li Xiangdong ripped off his waistband, his head held high and tongue lolling out. His giant-like penis walked to Ye Yue's body, pressed down on the wooden board, and thrust his fleshy rod into her wet vulva.
"I want it too... hurry... good brother, good brother, give it to me quickly!" Ye Xing cried incessantly.
"Your good brother is busy, let the stinky bitch serve you." The Demon Queen laughed loudly, "Stinky bitch, eat it with your mouth."
"She... she has applied Three Wonders Aphrodisiac Oil there." Yu Zhi said fearfully.
"Eat it too, you haven't tasted Three Wonders Aphrodisiac Oil before, have you?" The Demon Queen said coldly.
"Eat!" Jinwa swung his whip again.
×××××××××××××××××××××
As the climax approached, Ye Xing and Ye Yue, having expelled the aphrodisiac effects of the Three Wonders Aphrodisiac Oil, lay panting at either end of the long plank. Li Xiangdong did not press his advantage, withdrawing from Ye Xing's body and having Jinwa clean the filth beneath him.
Strangely, Yu Zhi lay on the ground, passionately moaning and groaning, her fingers clenched together as she frantically dug into her dripping vulva.
It turned out that Yu Zhi had made Ye Xing urinate twice with her mouth, but it still couldn't relieve her suffering. Only after Li Xiangdong had dealt with Ye Yue did he take over, pitifully having ingested a large amount of the Three Wonders Aphrodisiac Oil, while she herself suffered greatly.
"The Emperor can make you happy, but he can also make you suffer. Why do you still oppose him?" the Demon Queen said pityingly, wiping the sweat from Ye Xing's face with a handkerchief.
"...He lied to us, killed Mother, destroyed the Heavenly Demon Path! Even...even if we die...we will still...fight against him!" Ye Yue gasped.
"It was the Nine-Child Demon Mother who lied to you. She resented your loyalty to the Heavenly Dog God, so she spread rumors and tricked you." The Demon Queen's eyes gleamed strangely as she used her mind-controlling ability, saying, "Children, I am your mother! Even if you don't believe me, you should believe the Heavenly Dog God!"
"Is...is that so?" Ye Yue asked blankly.
"No...you're talking nonsense!" Ye Xing, with his back to the Demon Queen, avoided her gaze. Noticing Ye Yue's unease, he cried out, "She's not Mother, she's the Demon Queen! Li Xiangdong isn't the Heavenly Dog God either, he's an imposter!"
"No, you're not." Ye Yue shuddered at the sound, waking from her daze, and echoed Ye Xing, "Li Xiangdong is also an imposter!"
"You've already committed a heinous crime by recognizing a thief as your mother, and to doubt the words of the Heavenly Dog God is even more unforgivable!" Li Xiangdong stopped the Demon Queen's spellcasting, saying with annoyance, "Untie them, then tie them together, and let the Heavenly Dog God severely punish these two treacherous little girls."
Under Li Xiangdong's instructions, Ye Xing and Ye Yue were tied together, but in a tricky way. Ye Xing was on top of Ye Yue, her hands tied to Ye Yue's ankles, her own ankles tied to Ye Yue's wrists, her head pressed against Ye Yue's vulva. Ye Xing, being on top, could still manage to lift her head, but couldn't bury it completely. Ye Yue could only turn her pink face to the side, breathing through Ye Xing's crotch, her wet, tearful opening pressed against her ear, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"How does the Heavenly Dog God intend to punish them?" the Demon Queen asked with a smile.
"They are destined to be the Heavenly Dog God's women. Last time, the Heavenly Dog God deflowered them in the front; now it's their turn in the back," Li Xiangdong said with a lewd grin.
"That hurts so much!" the Demon Queen cried out anxiously, feigning sympathy. "Let's rub some Three Wonders Aphrodisiac Oil on them. When they're aroused, it won't hurt so much."
"The Heavenly Dog God wants them to suffer, but rubbing on the Three Wonders Aphrodisiac Oil will make it less painful," Li Xiangdong sneered.
"Let me see if their buttocks can accommodate your big cock..." the Demon Queen climbed onto the bed and began to spread Ye Xing's buttocks.
"No... don't look... waah... no...!" Ye Xing cried pitifully, but what was the use of crying? Her hemispherical buttocks were still spread open by the Demon Queen.
"No need to look, it definitely won't fit!" Yao Fengzhu shook her head.
"Ouch..." As she spoke, Ye Xing suddenly groaned in pain. It turned out that the Demon Queen had actually inserted her slender finger.
"Don't touch her... ouch... no!" another cry of empathy rang out.
"Not even a finger can fit, how can it be inserted?" the Demon Queen sighed.
"Apply some oil or something... there should be some precum in front, it will hurt, but you can still squeeze in," Liu Qingping said, speaking from experience.
"If I had known I was going to deflower their asses, I wouldn't have bothered cleaning them up for the Emperor," Lina chuckled.
"You stinking bitch, come here," Li Xiangdong shouted.
"Give it to me... Waaah... It's so itchy... Please... Please have mercy and give this stinking bitch a few thrusts!" Yu Zhi crawled under Li Xiangdong like a goddess, clinging to his hairy legs and crying.
"Alright, I'll give you a few thrusts," Li Xiangdong laughed, kicking Yu Zhi to the ground.
Yu Zhi, consumed by lust, shamelessly lay on the ground, her jade buttocks raised high, even opening her wet vulva herself.
Li Xiangdong walked over, without squatting down, grabbed Yu Zhi's slender waist, pulled her up from the ground, and thrust his penis in all at once.
"Ah... beautiful... don't go... waah... give it to me...!" Yu Zhi cried out in a frenzy, but Li Xiangdong only thrust a few times before withdrawing and throwing her back to the ground.
"So wet, you should be able to go in now." Li Xiangdong, holding a penis that looked like it had just been pulled out of the water, walked triumphantly to the bedside and said smugly.
"So this stinking bitch is actually somewhat useful..." the Demon Queen laughed loudly.
"This asshole is as big as your mother's, and you still say we're not mother and daughter?" Li Xiangdong said, playing with Ye Xing's pink buttocks.
"No... waah... don't touch...!" Ye Xing cried out in despair.
"How can I deflower you if I don't touch you?" Li Xiangdong climbed onto the bed, spread Ye Xing's pink buttocks open with his hands, and rubbed his penis against her small and exquisite anus.
"No... waah... don't touch her...!" Seeing the giant penis in front of her, Ye Yue also screamed in terror.
"Don't rush, it'll be your turn soon." Li Xiangdong chuckled maliciously, thrusting his penis down forcefully.
"Ouch... God... It hurts so much... Waaah... Please... Please don't!" Ye Xing screamed like a pig being slaughtered, finally unable to bear it any longer and begging for mercy.
Strangely enough, as Ye Xing screamed, Ye Yue felt as if her anus was on fire, then noticed some bright red liquid dripping onto her face, and her heart pounded with fear, she couldn't help but scream shrilly.
"Oh, you're bleeding, don't be afraid, it's a little painful the first time." The Demon Queen found a snow-white handkerchief from somewhere and covered Ye Yue's face, chuckling.
"It's gone in a little bit, it'll hurt even more later!" Li Xiangdong breathed a sigh of relief, speaking in a threatening tone.
"Li Xiangdong... Waaah... Kill us sisters... Don't torture us!" Ye Yue screamed.
"Don't beg Li Xiangdong, beg the Heavenly Dog God." Li Xiangdong chuckled maliciously.
"No...you're not...ouch...!" Ye Xing only managed to utter one sentence before letting out a blood-curdling scream. It turned out that Li Xiangdong had once again forced his way in.
Although her face was covered with a sweat towel and Ye Yue couldn't see, she could still feel drops of blood dripping down her face. The red cloud before her eyes gradually expanded, and then Ye Xing fell silent
. Her warm face was pressed against her private parts, clearly indicating that she had fainted from extreme pain. "Let her go in again and rest for a while," the Demon Queen advised.
"Then it's this one's turn." Li Xiangdong withdrew and turned the two women's bound bodies around.
"No... Waaah... Please... Please don't... Spare me!" Ye Yue cried out in terror.
"Who am I?" Li Xiangdong crawled beneath Ye Yue, kneading her snow-white buttocks like dough.
"You... Waaah... You're not human...!" Ye Yue sobbed in grief and indignation.
"That's right, I'm the Heavenly Dog God!" Li Xiangdong grinned maliciously, spreading her buttocks and thrusting his penis forcefully into her cleft.
Ye Yue slowly regained consciousness from her unconsciousness, involuntarily moving slightly. She discovered that her limbs were no longer connected to Ye Xing, and her back was burning with pain. She groaned sadly, opening her beautiful eyes in a daze. She saw the Heavenly Dog God right in front of her, and tears streamed down her face like broken pearls.
"Do you recognize me?" the Heavenly Dog God said in a deep voice.
"You... Heavenly Dog God...!" Ye Yue groaned.
"Why did you betray me?" the Heavenly Dog God said coldly.
"This servant was wrong... Waaah... I don't know why this happened," Ye Yue cried.
"I'm telling you, it was the Nine-Child Demon Mother who did this, spreading rumors and causing trouble. You were all weak-willed, which is why she took advantage of you," said the Heavenly Dog God. "
This servant deserves to die..." Ye Yue struggled to get up, only to see Ye Xing beside her, offering a helping hand. She cried out, "Spare this servant... Waaah... We shouldn't have listened to her!"
"The Nine-Child Demon Mother has already received her retribution. Did you see it?" Li Xiangdong said in a deep voice.
"Yes, we saw it. She truly deserves to die!" The two women turned their heads and saw the Silver Corpse Nine-Child Demon Mother lying on the ground like a dead person, squeaking strangely, while the Iron Corpse was still attacking like a wolf.
"And your mother, she is heartbroken. If it weren't for her pleading, I wouldn't have forgiven you," Li Xiangdong continued.
"Mother..." The two women looked at the Demon Queen, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Children..." Although the Demon Queen was observing the other women and didn't quite believe the two women had truly surrendered, she still pretended to be serious and said, "Your ability to repent and correct your past mistakes is a testament to your mother's efforts."
"Your daughters are unfilial..." the two women said, tears streaming down their faces.
"Besides the Nine-Child Demon Mother, there is actually another vile woman who stirs up trouble and causes chaos, " the Demon Queen
said, surprising everyone.
"Which one?" the two women pressed.
"It's my great enemy, the Holy Maiden of Tianchi. If you encounter her, you must avenge your mother!" the Demon Queen said playfully.
"It's her! She... although she died at my hands, she still comes out to haunt us every full moon night, possessing your mother. She's truly detestable." "Li Xiangdong hadn't expected to be talking about the Holy Maiden, and he suppressed his joy.
Only then did Li Xiangdong regain his confidence in the Soul-Stealing Technique. If it weren't for the ability to completely change her nature, why would the Demon Queen hate the Holy Maiden so much
? Although the Holy Maiden would still occasionally appear, Ye Xing and Ye Yue were also able to regain their nature for some reason, which was basically successful. He believed that given time, the Soul-Stealing Technique would become perfect, and the Holy Maiden would truly disappear. "So it's a ghost?!" the two women exclaimed.
Liu Qingping and the others were not surprised to hear the news of the Holy Maiden's death for the first time, and since Li Xiangdong had personally confirmed it, it couldn't be false. If she weren't so powerful, she wouldn't have been able to escape the Prison of Lust and possess the Demon Queen.
"A ghost is nothing special," Li Xiangdong laughed; "As long as we are careful, she can't do evil." "Yes, we understand," the two women nodded.
"Alright, since you know your mistakes and can correct them, I won't pursue it any further." "Li Xiangdong feigned compassion, saying, 'Let me remove the restrictions on you.' 'Your Majesty, they...they said they're very tired. Let them rest for a few days before...before removing the restrictions,' the Demon Queen hesitated, not expecting Li Xiangdong to release them so readily, worried that the two women might play tricks.
'Alright,' Li Xiangdong laughed loudly, but he didn't reveal that while tickling the two women earlier, he had carefully explored their three souls and seven spirits, finding them no different from ordinary people. Feeling resentful, he not only used the Soul-Hooking Technique but also supplemented it with the Soul-Hooking Divine Light. Surely the two women wouldn't harbor any further resentment.
'Mother, your milk is so delicious!' Ye Xing and Ye Yue leaned against the Demon Queen on either side, sucking on her astonishingly large yet dazzlingly beautiful breasts.
'Have you...have you had enough?'" "The Demon Queen groaned, her breasts intertwined, the two women enjoying the meal, which brought her to a fever pitch, leaving her utterly captivated.
"A few more bites, we're almost done," Ye Xing said, kneading the fleshy ball in her hand and sucking vigorously.
"Ah...you two are such a curse...we'll have to eat you sooner or later...but...but it's killing me...!" the Demon Queen said, biting her lips.
"We know Mother loves Ye Xing and Ye Yue the most!" Ye Yue said sweetly, "Besides, there's the Emperor to tickle you."
"Where...where did he go?" the Demon Queen asked.
"He went to the Extinction Space to deal with those traitors from the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects..." Ye Xing said reluctantly, releasing her mouth.
"Now only Ding Ling is left.
Once she walks into the trap, he'll have his revenge," the Demon Queen said comfortingly.
"Will Ding Ling come?" "Ye Yue asked.
"Of course she is. She is the Holy Maiden's personal disciple and has been deeply poisoned by her fallacies. She thinks she is the savior and would never ignore those hypocritical and despicable people." The Demon Queen nodded.
"Can the Emperor defeat her?" Ye Xing asked worriedly.
"If it's just martial arts and magic, Ding Ling is no match for the Emperor. It's only her 'Falling Red' spell that's the most troublesome. Unfortunately, the Emperor is willing to risk his life to completely defeat the Holy Maiden. Once he makes a decision, no one can change it." The Demon Queen sighed.
"If we can break Ding Ling's 'Falling Red' spell, it will surely infuriate that bitch Holy Maiden. Maybe she won't dare to cause trouble again." Ye Yue said thoughtfully.
"Yes, he's only taking risks because he cares about Mother." Ye Xing finally stopped talking.
"How could Mother not know?" The Demon Queen nodded.
"So you must serve him well, listen to him, and don't be naughty." “I know, when did he ever act naughty? He was practically dead anyway!” Ye Yue retorted. “If it weren’t for my daughter using her mouth to make him happy, who knows how long we would have gone on!” “Speaking of mouth?” the Demon Queen sneered. “Your mouth skills are really lacking. You should learn from Qingping sometime.” “We’ll go in a bit.” The two women said enthusiastically.
“Let’s also go see Pei Jun. He should be mastering Yin Yang Shuo Tai soon.” The Demon Queen said casually, secretly observing the two women’s reactions.
“If the Nine-Child Demon Mother hadn’t died, that would be so much better.” Ye Xing sighed.
“Why?” the Demon Queen sneered inwardly.
“She made us offend the Heavenly Dog God. If she hadn’t died, we would have made her wish she were dead to vent our anger.” Ye Yue said, “Yesterday we whipped her, but she didn’t even groan. It’s infuriating.” “Iron Corpse, Copper Corpse, Copper Skin, Iron Bones, impervious to swords and spears, of course she wouldn’t feel a whip.” "The Demon Queen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mother, we want to go down to the Prison of Debauchery and see how they suffer," Ye Xing pleaded.
"Alright, let me ask the Emperor, but it's terrifying down there, aren't you afraid?" the Demon Queen laughed.
"What are we afraid of?!" the two women exclaimed.
"We'll talk about it later. On your way back, go find the Emperor and ask him to lift your restrictions," the Demon Queen said kindly. After repeated trials, she finally believed that the two women had truly surrendered.
"What do you want with me?" Li Xiangdong asked from outside the door.
"Mother, please lift our restrictions," Ye Xing laughed.
“It was untied yesterday,” Li Xiangdong said casually, sitting down. “Who will massage my legs?” “I’ll do it!” The two women skipped over and squatted down beside Li Xiangdong, massaging his legs.
“Look how well-behaved my daughters are,” the Demon Queen said with satisfaction.
“If they don’t finish drinking my milk, they’ll be even more adorable,” Li Xiangdong laughed.
“You’re not young anymore, do you still want to drink milk?” Ye Yue pouted.
“Don’t old men eat?” Li Xiangdong retorted.
“Only children drink milk, they need to eat solid food when they grow up,” Ye Xing exclaimed. “Are you still children? You can have children now,
” Li Xiangdong laughed.
“We don’t want children!” Ye Yue shouted.
“Me neither,” Ye Xing echoed.
“If you don’t want them, Mother wants them,” the Demon Queen said longingly. “Dong’er, give Mother a child.” “No!” the two women cried in unison.
“Why not?” Li Xiangdong asked curiously.
“We are Mother’s daughters, and also your women, what are Mother’s children worth?” "Night Star exclaimed.
"He's your younger brother..." the Demon Queen said matter-of-factly; of course, you could also say he's her son.
"But..." The two women felt uneasy but didn't know how to continue. If they knew Li Xiangdong was the Demon Queen's son, they would probably be even more shocked.
"The rules of the mortal world are not something we can set!" Li Xiangdong sneered.
"So you agree?!" the Demon Queen asked happily.
"Having a child isn't something you can just do on a whim, and if I'm going to have a child, it has to be the best in the world. Let me think it over some more." Li Xiangdong said in a deep voice.
"Then think about it quickly, Mother really wants your child." "The Demon Queen said softly.
Ten days passed in this way. Although the Demon Palace remained peaceful, as the day of his duel with Ding Ling drew closer, Li Xiangdong grew increasingly eager to capture this beautiful woman. However, he wasn't entirely sure she would willingly walk into the trap for those scoundrels from the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects, and he was somewhat hesitant.
Despite mobilizing all the Asura Sect's hidden agents and spies throughout the land, Li Xiangdong still had no news of Ding Ling's whereabouts. He unexpectedly learned of widespread peasant uprisings, with the court busy suppressing them and too preoccupied to arrange a rescue for the kidnapped Yu Zhi.
Li Xiangdong had also tried to refine Ding Ling's Yuanming Heart Lamp using the materials he had tricked the Demon Queen out of, but lacking a crucial element, he repeatedly failed. Considering her sacred body, he figured it would be useless even if he succeeded, and thus abandoned the attempt.
Aside from the unresolved matter of Ding Ling, other sect affairs proceeded smoothly. Wang Jie and the others
continued to cultivate invincible divine weapons using the breeding sows they had brought back from the Heavenly Demon Temple." This had almost made up for the casualties of the battle in Wild Boar Forest.
The Iron Corpse and Silver Corpse had finally achieved yin-yang harmony, greatly increasing their power and confirming that Ye Xing and Ye Yue were truly loyal, which greatly boosted Li Xiangdong's confidence and
brought him comfort. Of the women under his crotch, only Yu Zhi retained her true nature. The others, including the Demon Queen, were all completely submissive after being bewitched, vying to flatter and fawn over him, allowing Li Xiangdong to enjoy endless tenderness and lose all sense
of time. Li Xiangdong did not use his magic on Yu Zhi again, not only because he was not worried about her resistance, but also because he intended to keep her as an object of his play to satisfy his perverse desires.
That day, Li Xiangdong ate dinner as usual, served diligently by the women, and lazily leaned back in his armchair, listening to the Demon Queen read out intelligence reports sent by spies from various places.
Jinwa went to help Lina clear the dishes, Fengzhu and Qingping went out to prepare fruit, while Ye Xing and Ye Yue squatted down to massage Li Xiangdong's legs, and Yu Zhi lay on the ground eating the leftovers.
"Tomorrow is the deadline, and there's still no news of Ding Ling." The Demon Queen wondered, "Does she really not care about those people's lives?" "No problem, after tomorrow, kill one on the first day,
two on the second day, and we'll wipe them all out in no time." Li Xiangdong sneered.
"I bet she won't come. The world is so big, if she's hiding, where will we find her?" Ye Xing sneered.
"What are you betting on?" Li Xiangdong laughed.
"I bet... if she doesn't come, you'll be a little dog!" Ye Yue said mischievously.
"I already have a stinky bitch, why would I want to cast in more little bitches?" Li Xiangdong laughed heartily.
"Mother, I won't allow it!" the two girls whined, "The Emperor is bullying us again, he wants us to be little bitches!" "You laughed loudly, "Stinky bitch, isn't she?" If he wants to be his little dog, it's fair that he wants you to be his little dogs too." The Demon Queen laughed.
"You're always on the same page as him." "The two female slaves said, pouting their cherry-like lips.
"Does it even need to be said? Mother is his person, and you are his people too, so naturally you have to speak with him." The Demon Queen laughed.
"Being a bitch isn't so bad, look how much she enjoys it." Li Xiangdong: "Stinky bitch, isn't she?" "Woof woof, yes." Yu Zhi wagged her tail and said, she had already accepted her fate, as long as she didn't have to suffer more torture, she was willing to do whatever he asked.
"This bitch seems to be getting more and more obedient." Ye Xing laughed.
"Can she not be obedient? Once she angered Jinwa, and besides being whipped, she almost became a sow." Ye Yue said disdainfully.
"It's not a big deal if Ding Ling doesn't come, she can't do anything alone, she's no match for us." The Demon Queen said thoughtfully.
"Do you still think we're just using some kind of great technique called 'Falling Blood'?" Li Xiangdong said unhappily.
"She has a sacred body, her power has increased many times over, you are of inestimable strength, there's no need to take the risk." "The Demon Queen said with concern.
"She is the personal disciple of that poisonous woman, the Holy Maiden. Only by defeating her can we completely eliminate that vile woman." Li Xiangdong said coldly, "If we can't even defeat her, how can we achieve great things!" "After we capture her, do we still want her to be our bitch?" Ye Xing asked curiously.
"It depends on whether she knows what's good for her," Li Xiangdong said with a lewd smile. "If she knows what's good for her, you definitely won't be able to defeat her!" Ye Yue said with a sly smile.
"Don't talk nonsense!" the Demon Queen said urgently.
"Why can't
you defeat her?" Li Xiangdong asked in surprise. "Mother, us sisters, and Phoenix Pearl Lina Jinwa, and this bitch, if you add her to the mix, can you defeat them?" Ye Yue chuckled.
"Can't defeat them?!" Li Xiangdong said fiercely, "Tonight we'll see which one of you will beg for mercy first!" Li Xiangdong fought fiercely all night and only fell asleep around dawn. However, he was soon awakened. "
Your Majesty...Your Majesty, Ding Ling is under the old locust tree north of Gunzhou City, sending a signal and knocking on the door requesting an audience!" Wang Jie shouted angrily from outside the door.
"She's finally here!" Li Xiangdong pushed away Ye Xing, who was resting on his stomach, and sat up abruptly.
"...Who's here?" Ye Xing asked sleepily, followed by the Demon Queen and the others.
"Ding Ling!" Li Xiangdong laughed loudly, "Someone wants to be a little bitch!" "It's her?" The Demon Queen and the others immediately woke up, exclaiming in surprise.
"Who wants to be a little bitch?!" Ye Xing said coquettishly, "I only said that if she didn't come, you'd be the little dog!" "Yes, we didn't say anything about what would happen if she came!" Ye Xing chuckled.
"Stop fooling around, what do we do now?" the Demon Queen said nervously.
"Let her wait a moment, we've been waiting for a long time too," Li Xiangdong sneered.
Ding Ling, her head wrapped in a simple handkerchief, dressed in a tight-fitting black arrow-patterned outfit and carrying a sword on her back, waited patiently for a long time before Li Xiangdong finally appeared.
"Ding Ling, enough nonsense. If you decide to exchange your virginity for the lives of over a hundred people from the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects, then immediately surrender and let me cripple your martial arts. Then you might have a chance to fight me with some kind of 'Fallen Blood Technique.' Otherwise, let them all die with you," Li Xiangdong sneered.
"Although I came here to fight you to the death, if anyone else's life is threatened, I will leave immediately, and you will never find me," Ding Ling said calmly. "
Can you escape?" Li Xiangdong sneered. "Back then, Elder Daxiong used a set of illusionary immortal techniques to travel freely between heaven and earth, and he once used it to escape the encirclement of 100,000 demon gods. The Demon Subduing Manual also left this technique. Do you think I can escape?" Ding Ling said calmly.
"What right do you have..." Li Xiangdong didn't finish his sentence before he suddenly appeared before Ding Ling like a ghost, his hand swift as lightning grabbing her delicate shoulder.
This grab was the culmination of Li Xiangdong's full power; even the Holy Maiden might not be able to dodge it. However, the Holy Maiden's power was profound, allowing her to use offense as defense. Unless she was determined to fight him head-on, she would surely fail.
Li Xiangdong knew that Ding Ling was the Holy Maiden's personal disciple, yet he still used this move, taking advantage of her inferior power and lack of counterattack. Once he grabbed her, even if it wasn't a vital acupoint, he could render her powerless, making it impossible for her not to surrender.
As expected, Li Xiangdong... Without touching Ding Ling's shoulder, she twisted her waist to the left, her right palm striking towards Li Xiangdong's armpit,
while her left hand simultaneously unleashed several wisps of finger energy, rapidly striking his wrist. Li Xiangdong ignored the jade-like palm attacking his armpit, merely flicking his wrist to not only avoid the fierce finger energy but also continuing his grabbing towards Ding Ling's shifted shoulder with even greater speed. He aimed to seize the jade-like figure before his palm struck her armpit,
rendering his deadly attack futile. Just as Ding Ling's fragrant shoulder was about to fall into Li Xiangdong's grasp, she suddenly vanished, startling Li Xiangdong.
"Li Xiangdong, as the leader of a sect, isn't such a sneak attack too despicable?" Ding Ling stood gracefully five zhang away, coldly stating.
"Is this the Mysterious Immortal Steps?" Li Xiangdong scoffed.
"My apologies," Ding Ling nodded, "If you agree to three conditions, I guarantee I won't run away before the battle is over." "Speak!" "Li Xiangdong said coldly.
"First, I want to compete with you separately in martial arts and magic. We'll compete in martial arts first, then magic, and no one else is allowed to help." Ding Ling said solemnly.
"Fine, I'll fight you fairly and make you accept your defeat." Li Xiangdong sneered.
"Second, before our competition, you must release Princess Yuzhi and the experts from the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects." Ding Ling continued.
"That's quite a scheme." Li Xiangdong sneered, "You can have the bastards from the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects, but Yuzhi is a traitor to our sect, she can't be released."
"Nonsense, how could she be from the Asura Sect?" Ding Ling retorted.
"Believe it or not, she can't be released. If you have the ability, take her back." Li Xiangdong said coldly, "And what's the third one?"
"If I'm lucky enough to win, the Asura Sect will withdraw from the martial world!" Ding Ling said resolutely.
"You won't be lucky!" "Li Xiangdong said coldly, 'If you lose...'"
"If I lose, then all is well, and
I'll be at your mercy. What else is there to say?" Ding Ling said expressionlessly, as if she weren't talking about herself. "I won't kill you. I'll take you as my slave and let you use some kind of 'Broken Blood Technique'!" Li Xiangdong lewdly laughed.
"I have another question," Ding Ling said without responding.
"What question?" Li Xiangdong nodded.
"Where is the Holy Maiden?" Ding Ling continued.
"Her? She's dead. She'll never appear in this world again," Li Xiangdong sneered.
"Did you kill her?" Ding Ling's face changed color.
"Besides me, who else could take her life?" Li Xiangdong said arrogantly, "Enough talk, come with me!"
"Where to?" Ding Ling asked.
"To the palace. Are we going to fight here?" Li Xiangdong sneered.
"No, I won't make a move until I see the people from the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects leave safely," Ding Ling waved her hand.
"They're in the palace. If you want to see them, you'll have to go inside." Li Xiangdong used magic to open the gate and went in without looking back.
Ding Ling didn't hesitate and gracefully followed him into the palace.
Behind the gate was a spacious, empty space, completely devoid of anything. The surrounding area was a hazy white space, but stepping on it felt like stepping on solid, hard material—quite strange.
"What is this place?" Ding Ling asked nonchalantly.
"This is the Extinction Space!" Li Xiangdong sneered. "Once you're here, no amount of illusionary techniques will work, and you can't escape."
"I had the guts to come in with you, so I naturally have a way to get out," Ding Ling retorted sharply. "Where are they?"
"Right beneath our feet," Li Xiangdong sneered.
Ding Ling looked down and saw that the hazy white ground had become transparent. The trapped people were indeed in the space beneath her feet, looking listless, some sitting, some lying down, as if they were in prison.
"I want to talk to them," Ding Ling said solemnly.
“Speak,” Li Xiangdong nodded. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiangdong and Ding Ling suddenly appeared on the wall below.
“Did you hear me?” Ding Ling sighed, secretly thinking that Li Xiangdong’s sorcery was profound, and this battle was likely to end badly for her.
“…Ding Ling…it’s Ding Ling!” “Ding Ling is here!” “You shouldn’t have come!” “Li Xiangdong, now you should let us go back!”
The trapped experts saw Ding Ling appear on the wall and then heard her voice. They struggled to their feet and rushed to tell her. Some sighed deeply, some shouted, all seemingly knowing that Ding Ling was their savior.
“How have you all been?” Ding Ling asked in a deep voice.
“It’s a long story…” Qingcheng Changmen Jingxu sighed.
“Mr. Chen…and Senior Sang, they…” Ding Ling was referring to the wise old man Chen Tong and the Beggar Clan leader Sang Shu, then realized that many familiar faces were missing.
"War is dangerous, how could there be no casualties?" Li Xiangdong sneered. "It was all because Cheng Kang tried to blast open the Extinction Space with Thunderbolt Fire. Not only did he die, but he also took dozens of people with him. I only killed the Nine Heavenly Demons." "Everyone looks very bad, were you ambushed?" Ding Ling asked nervously.
"We weren't ambushed." The leader of the Six Harmonies Sect said angrily, "But we only eat one meal a day, it's not good for anyone to get it..." "Do you think this is a restaurant?" Li Xiangdong cursed, "You're already incredibly lucky that you haven't starved to death." "Li Xiangdong, aren't you going to release them?!" Ding Ling didn't want to argue with him and said calmly.
"Listen carefully..." Li Xiangdong raised his hand and pointed, a wall disappeared in an instant, revealing the light of day, and said, "Go out from here, and you'll reach Yunyang. Go back and reflect on your actions. If you oppose our sect again, you will surely die without a burial place." "Ding Ling, are you coming with us?" Jing Xu asked with a worried expression.
“No,” Ding Ling said resolutely, “I agree to fight him to the death. Please, everyone, do as you please.” “Great kindness needs no thanks…” Ye Neng sighed, cupped his hands, and said, “This old man sincerely wishes you a successful victory, young lady. Take care.” “The Holy Maiden has a worthy successor,” Wu Xin said, bowing.
The heroes all knew that if it weren’t for their survival, Ding Ling would never have fought Li Xiangdong alone. This battle was extremely dangerous, and it was very likely that they would never see each other again. Yet they were powerless to do anything about it. So they cupped their hands in thanks and left the Demon Cave with resentment.
“Can we start now?” After all the heroes had left, Li Xiangdong closed the gates of the Demon Palace and asked.
“The leader has agreed to a fair duel with me, but the leader has the advantage of terrain and manpower, and is waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out. I am alone, and I have come from afar. How can this be fair? Besides, it is already late. I am not used to fighting at night, which would be a disadvantage. If the leader agrees, I humbly request that we fight again tomorrow morning,” Ding Ling said eloquently.
"Fine, let's see how long you can stall." Li Xiangdong said coldly, pointing behind Ding Ling, "You can spend the night there. I'll have someone bring you food, I guarantee it won't be poisoned. Rest and recuperate, we'll make our move at dawn." "Sleep here? No way, I'll wait for you outside the palace tomorrow morning." Ding Ling shook her head.
"Entering the palace is easy, leaving is hard. How can you just leave like that?" Li Xiangdong sneered, "Let me tell you, if you try to leave the palace on your own, you'll be breaking your promise. Then I'll send people to hunt down the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects, and then capture you with all my might. You won't even have a chance to make a move." Ding Ling felt a chill, knowing that she had no choice but to act.

Episode 14, Chapter 4: Inviting the Enemy into the Trap
"She's left alone in the Extinction Space, aren't you afraid she'll run away?" Seeing Li Xiangdong return alone, Ye Xing asked abruptly. It turned out that all the women were with the Demon Queen, secretly spying on them.
"Although the 'Extinction Space' is said to be unparalleled and capable of eliminating all families, she doesn't seem to care at all. And the 'Bewitching Immortal Steps' are so wondrous; perhaps she really does have a way to escape," the Demon Queen frowned.
"She can't escape, and even if she could, she wouldn't dare. Aren't she afraid I'll slaughter all nine gangs and thirteen sects?" Li Xiangdong sneered. "Xiuxin, why didn't you mention the 'Bewitching Immortal Steps' before?" "It's said that the Demon-Subduing Manual records many extraordinary skills and secret techniques, and the 'Bewitching Immortal Steps' should be one of them. The Holy Maiden hasn't read it, how would she know?" the Demon Queen sighed.
"Besides the 'Bewitching Immortal Steps,' what other secret techniques does the Demon-Subduing Manual contain?" Li Xiangdong asked, troubled.
"Elder Daxiong was the number one person in the world back then, unfathomable. No one knows how much he knew," the Demon Queen shook her head. "The
number one person in the world? If he hadn't passed away, we wouldn't be relying on him to dominate today," Li Xiangdong said dismissively.
"Can you beat Ding Ling?" Ye Yue asked.
“Her skill is even inferior to my defeated Saintess, how could she be no match for her? Capturing her alive will take quite a bit of effort,” Li Xiangdong scoffed.
“We can help,” the two women said in unison.
“No, I want her to be convinced,” Li Xiangdong shook his head.
“I wonder what she’s doing now?” the Demon Queen asked curiously.
“I don’t know,” Li Xiangdong said with frustration, “My magic can’t penetrate the barrier, it seems she’s carrying a rotten bone.” “What rotten bone?” Ye Xing asked.
“The Holy Body of Elder Da Xiong,” the Demon Queen replied. “
Isn’t it said that in the Divine Palace, only our sect’s magic can be used, and all other magic is ineffective?” Ye Yue asked, puzzled.
“I think it’s because of the Holy Body,” the Demon Queen sighed.
“Why can we see her in the Extinction Space?” Ye Yue asked.
“We can directly view the Extinction Space without using magic,” the Demon Queen explained.
“Is there any food or drink?” Ye Xing asked.
"She ate and drank voraciously, finishing every last drop of the food that was brought to her, as if she wasn't afraid I'd poison her food," Li Xiangdong said, without revealing that he had poisoned one of the dishes. Unexpectedly, Ding Ling didn't touch it, even saying she'd left it for Li Xiangdong to enjoy himself.
"Looks like a formidable enemy," the Demon Queen said worriedly, ordering, "Fengzhu, you and the others will take turns monitoring the Extinction Space. If she leaves her nemesis, report immediately." "Yes, Your Majesty," Yao Fengzhu replied, and immediately left with Liu Qingping and the others.
"You filthy bitch, don't think Ding Ling can change your fate. You'll always be a bitch, and so will she," Li Xiangdong cursed, seeing Yu Zhi listening intently.
"No...no, you filthy bitch wouldn't dare!" Yu Zhi cried out urgently, knowing that if Li Xiangdong didn't die, she had no hope of escape.
"Jinwa, did you itch her today?" Li Xiangdong asked.
"No, she was thinking about your duel with Ding Ling," Jinwa said shamefully.
"Pick a few strong men to tickle her. Guess how many times this stinky bitch will pee today?" Li Xiangdong nodded.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please tickle this stinky bitch! Only you can truly make this stinky bitch happy!" Yu Zhi crawled fearfully to Li Xiangdong's feet, clinging to his leg and pleading.
Yu Zhi wasn't being shameless; she knew that with Li Xiangdong's battle imminent, lust was a deadly weapon, and she hoped he would succumb to desire, giving Ding Ling a better chance of winning. Besides, being gang-raped by those demon soldiers would be quite painful.
"Stinky bitch, you know Your Majesty will be fighting Ding Ling tomorrow morning, yet you still tire him out. You clearly have ulterior motives!" the Demon Queen roared. "Jinwa, give her a good whipping!" "No... Your Majesty, no... this stinky bitch has no ulterior motives...!" Yu Zhi cried out in fear.
"So what if you have ulterior motives? I have no taboos," Li Xiangdong laughed loudly.
"Even if you're carefree, it's not okay. You must get a good rest tonight," the Demon Queen said sternly.
"Alright, I'll bring this stinking bitch to watch the battle tomorrow and let her know how powerful I am," Li Xiangdong nodded, feeling a warmth in his heart knowing the Demon Queen meant well.
Despite going to bed early, Li Xiangdong didn't get up until late morning. When he woke up, he learned that Ding Ling was already waiting for him in the Juehu Space
. Since Li Xiangdong was still fast asleep and Ding Ling didn't make any moves, the Demon Queen hadn't woken him. After washing up and having breakfast, Li Xiangdong changed into a bright and well-fitting outfit before leisurely heading to the Juehu Space.
"Good morning, Master." Seeing Li Xiangdong finally appear, Ding Ling, still wearing her black battle armor and carrying a long sword, calmly nodded in greeting.
"Good morning. Did you sleep well?" Li Xiangdong returned the greeting, secretly thinking that he had deliberately stayed in bed late to test her composure, but she seemed unaffected. It seemed the Demon Queen was right; this woman was not to be underestimated.
"It's alright," Ding Ling nodded. "It's just that the sect leader didn't set a time yesterday, so I arrived early." "Can we start now?" Li Xiangdong sneered.
"Please enlighten me, sect leader," Ding Ling said solemnly.
"Let's first spar with fists and palms, then with weapons. Make your moves," Li Xiangdong said, leaning back.
"Sect leader, be careful!" Ding Ling didn't hold back, unleashing a series of unpredictable palm techniques.
After the battle began, Li Xiangdong realized he had completely underestimated Ding Ling's strength. He thought she was just the sect leader of the Soft Bone Sect, who, when she debuted, was known as one of the two beauties of the Soft Bone Sect along with Hong Die, and that their strength was roughly equal. Even with the Holy Maiden's personal instruction, she was far from being his match.
Unexpectedly, while Ding Ling's internal energy cultivation might not be as good as the Holy Maiden's, her martial arts techniques were comparable to, and perhaps even superior to, the Heavenly Pool Holy Maiden, a peerless genius of the past thirty years.
After marrying the Demon Queen, the Holy Maiden's martial arts skills became part of the Demon Queen's dowry, falling entirely into Li Xiangdong's hands. He not only knew her moves by heart but also devised ways to counter them. If Ding Ling didn't use them, Li Xiangdong would have an opportunity.
However, Ding Ling wasn't refusing to use them; rather, she resembled them in spirit but not in form. Coupled with her mastery of the Soft Bone Technique, her limbs and body moved freely, seemingly employing the Mysterious Immortal Steps, often attacking from completely different directions, making her impossible to defend against and leaving him overwhelmed.
Originally, Li Xiangdong planned to capture Ding Ling alive within a hundred moves. At that point, there would be no need to continue the magic contest; as long as he took her virginity and broke the Bloodstained Exorcism Technique, he could train her into a useful person.
Li Xiangdong never dreamed that after two or three hundred moves, Ding Ling would still be able to defend and attack, and would become more and more courageous as she fought. Her movements were also more and more pure, always in front of him but behind him. Not to mention capturing her alive, it was impossible to fight her head-on. He was furious, so he changed his tactics. He pretended to fight and look for an opening, but in reality he set a trap to force her to fight head-on.
Ding Ling was falling into the trap step by step. Li Xiangdong estimated that in less than ten moves, she would seize the moment when he punched her right (a word is missing here because I couldn't see it clearly, lol) and ghost-like change direction, striking him from behind with a double palm strike. At that time, he would have a chance to fight her head-on. What Li Xiangdong needed to consider was how much power to use.
If he used too little power, leaving her feeling neither pain nor discomfort, then all the opportunities he had painstakingly created would be wasted, and he didn't know how long the battle would last.
After much deliberation, the opportunity came. Li Xiangdong couldn't care less about anything else. He punched Ding Ling's right (a word is missing here, but it's still the same word), secretly exerting force, preparing for a counterattack.
Ding Ling was overjoyed. She immediately used the Mysterious Immortal Steps, moving behind Li Xiangdong and using twelve-tenths of her power to strike him with a double palm strike towards his Sendai acupoint. She knew he couldn't dodge it, and if it hit, he would definitely be either dead or seriously injured.
Little did anyone know that Li Xiangdong was prepared. The moment Ding Ling disappeared from sight, his left palm lashed out, unleashing a fierce gust of wind to meet the jade-like palm that couldn't
stop in time. Ding Ling knew her internal strength was inferior to Li Xiangdong's, so she initially used the wondrous Mysterious Steps to maneuver around him, deliberately avoiding a direct confrontation. However, this move had too much momentum, and she had no time to change her strategy, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and clash head-on.
The force of their palms collided with a loud "bang." Li Xiangdong was propelled forward by the force from behind, forced to take two steps to regain his balance. Ding Ling was also shaken back three steps, her delicate body still swaying uncontrollably, clearly indicating that her skill was inferior.
However, the Asura Cult members secretly observing from the perimeter of the extinction space, including the martial arts-defunct Yu Zhi, were all contemporary masters with exceptional eyesight. They were all astonished, their faces showing surprise. They hadn't expected Ding Ling to be so powerful; even if she wasn't quite on par with Li Xiangdong, she was close.
Li Xiangdong's superiority over Ding Ling was undeniable, because he only used a backhand strike, unlike Ding Ling's all-out attack. Even with a single palm against two, he could still knock her back three steps. Only with such exceptional skill could she neutralize such a fierce attack.
However, Li Xiangdong was also knocked forward two steps by Ding Ling's force. Although he was one step behind Ding Ling, it was inherently easier to maintain balance when moving forward than backward. If they had truly faced each other, the outcome might have been even.
While Ding Ling's skill impressed Li Xiangdong, he wasn't as shocked as the others, and it only strengthened his belief in his victory.
After absorbing the innate true energy of the Holy Maiden of Light, Li Xiangdong knew his inner strength was unparalleled. If he attacked with all his might, he would surely be defeated. However, to capture this beautiful woman alive, he used only seventy percent of his power, hoping to knock her down and seize her.
Ding Ling remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was both surprised and delighted. She was surprised by Li Xiangdong's indeed extraordinary skill, and delighted by her own greatly improved power. Combined with the secret techniques of the Demon-Subduing Manual, she might not be without a chance to fight back.
"Li Xiangdong, would you be interested in sparring with me?" Ding Ling asked neither arrogantly nor humbly.
"Very well, draw your sword." Li Xiangdong nodded.
"Where is your weapon?" Ding Ling asked, drawing her sword.
"Don't think that just because you withstood one of my palm strikes, you can be my equal. I don't even need a weapon against you." Li Xiangdong sneered. He wasn't being arrogant, but his Azure Dragon Demon Sword was designed to draw blood, and he didn't want to hurt Ding Ling.
"Suit yourself." Ding Ling couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She made a sword gesture and attacked.
It turned out that the sword in Ding Ling's hand came from Kongtong Mountain. It was the Demon-Subduing Divine Sword used by Zhang Tianshi in the past. It was not only the nemesis of the Azure Dragon Demon Sword, but it could also eliminate the demonic nature of the demon sword. If Li Xiangdong hadn't been so overconfident, the demon sword would have been damaged.
Although Li Xiangdong spoke arrogantly and looked down on everyone, he dared not be careless. Especially after Ding Ling drew the sword, he noticed that the blade was engraved with strange patterns, very similar to the Celestial Master's Divine Sword mentioned in the Demon Codex. He became even more cautious and careful, and fortunately, he didn't make a fool of himself.
Ding Ling launched thirteen consecutive sword attacks, each one aimed at piercing the pulse and acupoints. She estimated that she would at least force Li Xiangdong back seven steps and seize the initiative. Unexpectedly, after Li Xiangdong retreated three steps, he regained his footing and even began to use a set of grappling techniques to control Ding Ling's wrist pulse.
Li Xiangdong was not as dashing as before in this battle. Seeing his solemn expression and his defensive stance, it was clear that the situation was not good.
The two exchanged blows with great enthusiasm, going back and forth for hundreds of moves. Suddenly, Li Xiangdong unleashed several powerful palm strikes, forcing Ding Ling back.
"What kind of swordsmanship is this?" Li Xiangdong asked.
"This is the Demon-Subduing Sword Technique created by Elder Daxiong before his death. It has 144 moves, each one tightly linked and connected, making demons flee in terror. It is the nemesis of the sect leader," Ding Ling said sternly.
"Nemesis?" He chuckled coldly. "I'm afraid not! We've been fighting for half a day, and it's time for lunch now. Watch me break this lousy swordsmanship tomorrow morning." "Indeed, the sun should be setting soon." Ding Ling felt ashamed, realizing she was still inferior to Li Xiangdong. In the heat of battle, she hadn't noticed the passage of time. She nodded and said, "I'll wait for you at dawn tomorrow." "Too early. Let's fight again at noon. I'll have someone bring you food. If you need anything else, just tell the messenger," Li Xiangdong said.
"Thank you for the meal, Master," Ding Ling said sarcastically. "I haven't become a nun yet, so I dare not accept vegetarian food." Li Xiangdong snorted coldly and turned to leave. Ding Ling had said this because the vegetarian food he sent last night was poisoned.
"When did Ding Ling become so powerful?" Seeing Li Xiangdong return with a cold face, the Demon Queen led her people to greet him.
"Her martial arts are not bad, they have improved a lot, but they are not that powerful yet. There's no need to go to such lengths," Wang Jie said, frowning.
"No, I want her to be defeated convincingly," Li Xiangdong shook his head and said. "Actually, the most important thing is that I want to test my skills against Elder Da Xiong, the dead monk." "Elder Da Xiong's skill is profound..." the Demon Queen said worriedly.
"Even if that dead monk's skill is profound, Ding Ling is not," Li Xiangdong laughed loudly. "Don't be nervous. I want to see what other skills she has." "In short, be careful," the Demon Queen warned.
"Yes," Li Xiangdong agreed.
The battle continued the next day. Li Xiangdong still seemed helpless, mostly defending and rarely attacking, seemingly content with avoiding trouble rather than seeking victory.
Ding Ling relentlessly pressed forward, displaying her formidable strength.
Ding Ling initially believed victory was assured, launching a full-scale attack, her sword flashing in all directions with unparalleled skill. However, after a long battle, she couldn't budge Li Xiangdong an inch. Her momentum waned, and she began to feel like she was throwing an egg against a rock.
"What's so great about such swordsmanship..." Li Xiangdong suddenly laughed loudly, using both his fingers and palms to force Ding Ling into a frantic struggle. Somehow, she found herself gripping the blade of his sword.
"I surrender!" Ding Ling cried out in alarm, immediately releasing her sword and retreating hastily.
Li Xiangdong had planned to use his unique skill—transferring energy through objects to control acupoints—once Ding Ling exerted herself to seize the sword. Unexpectedly, she was so clever. He sneered, "Since you admit defeat, you should surrender and let me do as I please." "My martial arts are inferior to yours, but our magic is still undecided," Ding Ling said through gritted teeth.
"Then bring it on!" Li Xiangdong said coldly.
"Ordinary magic is just a waste of time and energy, not worth your time," Ding Ling said confidently. "How about this: we each draw our own prison, set up restrictions, and then enter each other's cells. Whoever escapes first wins." "Draw our own prison?" Li Xiangdong frowned.
"That's right. If you get out first, I'll naturally surrender," Ding Ling said, glancing around. "If I escape first, then I'm sorry, I must leave on my own. Please instruct your men not to stop me." It seemed she knew someone was watching.
“That’s only right.” Li Xiangdong thought to himself that if she could break free of his restraints, his men probably wouldn’t have been able to stop her. He nodded and said, “It’s time for dinner again. Do you want to have dinner before you start?” “Neither of us are ordinary people. We can go without food or drink for ten or fifteen days without starving.” Ding Ling waved her hand and said, “If you don’t object, we can start immediately and end this sooner.” “Ten or fifteen days?” Li Xiangdong chuckled. “I still need to go out for dinner.” Ding Ling didn’t answer. Instead, she solemnly walked a circle about ten feet in diameter, centered on the spot, and then began chanting incantations in the air, starting her ritual.
Li Xiangdong also walked a square about ten feet in diameter, centered on the spot, and then stood with his hands behind his back.
“Are you done?” After a while, Li Xiangdong saw Ding Ling stop her ritual and look around in the invisible circle. He said impatiently.
“Please come in, Master.” Ding Ling stepped out of the circle.
"Let's all go together." Li Xiangdong snorted coldly and walked towards Ding Ling. Ding Ling, however, took a detour and walked to the barrier Li Xiangdong had set up.
"I'll count to three, then we'll all go in together," Ding Ling said cautiously.
"No need for that. If you don't go in, my men will make their move." Li Xiangdong strode confidently into the circle. Seeing Li Xiangdong enter, Ding Ling didn't hesitate and walked into the invisible square.
Although no one could see the two invisible cages, the Asura Cult members who were watching were either proficient in magic or had been exposed to it for a long time and knew its power. They knew that setting up a barrier was easy, but breaking it was difficult. The two fighting like this was not only unique but also extremely dangerous. One wrong move and they would be trapped forever.
However, everyone knew that Li Xiangdong was very powerful and had witnessed him forcing Ding Ling to admit defeat, so they weren't too worried. Seeing Li Xiangdong and Ding Ling sitting cross-legged in the cages one after the other, eyes closed and silent, they knew that they had begun to use magic to break the barrier. After watching for a while, there was no movement, and they couldn't help but feel frustrated.
Everyone knew that breaking the spell could be done quickly or slowly, and it was hard to say when the result would be. They could only take turns guarding it, but after three days, there was still no movement.
The onlookers were getting impatient, and Li Xiangdong in the prison was even more anxious. He had exhausted all the methods he knew to break the spell, but he still couldn't move this mysterious cage. He had tried several times to communicate with the Demon Queen and others through telepathy, but there was no response, and he couldn't help but feel isolated and helpless.
The only way now was to use the help of the 100,000 demon gods of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. However, these emperors were difficult to summon and send away. With Li Xiangdong's abilities, he could summon ten at a time and control them freely. Any more than that would inevitably cause chaos in the world. The problem was that few of the 100,000 demon gods knew how to break the spell. If things went wrong, it might take a long time to find a way to break it, and by then, Ding Ling would have already escaped.
Originally, Li Xiangdong hadn't considered the possibility of Ding Ling breaking out of the prison, but considering that she could set up such a sophisticated restriction, he had to reassess his situation.
Fortunately, Ding Ling has remained calm so far, indicating that she cannot break free of her prison for the time being. If the 100,000 demon gods could help him break through the barrier sooner, he could finally capture this beauty.
Weighing the pros and cons, Li Xiangdong finally made up his mind. Just as he was about to summon the demon gods, the Demon Queen suddenly entered the Extinction Space.
Li Xiangdong was overjoyed and hurriedly gestured, hoping the Demon Queen would understand his meaning and return to the palace to retrieve a rare treasure to help him. However, she ignored him and instead coldly drew talismans and chanted incantations outside the invisible cage, casting spells.
Unfortunately, Li Xiangdong paid close attention and discovered that the Demon Queen was not helping to break the spell, but rather adding restrictions, using the Holy Maiden's ultimate technique. He was horrified. Recalling that he had been fighting with Ding Ling for many days, he realized that the person in front of him was not the Demon Queen, but the Holy Maiden! After adding more restrictions, the Holy Maiden used Asura magic to break the cage that bound Ding Ling. The wicked woman said a few earnest words and then opened the portal to the Extinction Space.
They went together, and seeing the moon shining brightly like a mirror outside, Li Xiangdong was so angry that he cursed and jumped up and down.
"You... are you the Demon Queen or the Holy Maiden?" Ding Ling asked impatiently after taking out the Demon Palace.
"I am both the Demon Queen and the Holy Maiden." The Holy Maiden said solemnly, "We are not out of danger yet. Let's quickly find a secluded place to hide and talk later." "A secluded place?" Ding Ling said thoughtfully. Although she still did not know whether this Demon Queen who looked like the Holy Maiden was up to no good, she put aside her wariness. She knew that as long as she helped Li Xiangdong escape, she would not be able to escape the clutches of the demon, so there was no need for such a big fuss.
"That's right. We must conceal our scent before we set off to escape, otherwise he will still find us." The Holy Maiden shouted urgently. She had run over and, although she was able to block Li Xiangdong's teleportation with magic, she was still unable to escape the clutches of the demon because Meiji could not smell her.
"I've got it, follow me." Hearing the Holy Maiden mention the scent, Ding Ling's trust in her increased. She hadn't considered this, otherwise, there would have been a good chance Li Xiangdong would have found her.
The two women were highly skilled in martial arts, and under the bright moonlight, walking was easy. They quickly reached the summit of Green Mountain.
"Where do we hide?" the Holy Maiden asked, looking around.
"Here..." Ding Ling walked to a large rock and pointed to a small cave beneath it, saying, "Go in from here, and you'll find our sect's important Changchun Valley." "The entrance is so small, how do we get in?" the Holy Maiden asked, surprised.
"I once sparred with the Holy Maiden, discussing the secrets of our sect's Jade Maiden's Gentle Feelings Technique. If you are truly the Holy Maiden, you can shrink your body." Ding Ling said cautiously.
"That's right, let me try." The Holy Maiden nodded and immediately began to circulate her energy. Her joints cracked, and although her body didn't shrunk noticeably, her clothes seemed much larger.
"Make it a little smaller," Ding Ling encouraged, already believing the person before her was the Holy Maiden. However, if she knew the Demon Queen shared memories with the Holy Maiden, she wouldn't trust her so easily, and might even be overwhelmed with worry, unable to make a decision.
"No," the Holy Maiden said dejectedly, "My internal energy has been completely destroyed by Li Xiangdong. Now I'm using the Demon Queen's internal energy, and I can't pass through the Three Jiaos and Five Phases acupoints. I can't get in." "You...you really are the Holy Maiden?!" The Three Jiaos and Five Phases were the key to the Jade Maiden's Gentle Feelings Technique, known only to the Holy Maiden. Ding Ling exclaimed in surprise.
"It's still there now," the Holy Maiden sighed as she saw the moon high in the sky. "After the moon sets, it will be the Demon Queen." "What?" Ding Ling asked, bewildered.
"It's a long story..." the Holy Maiden's eyes reddened. "You must first subdue the twenty-eight acupoints on my body before I slowly tell you. After that, you will kill me and use the Calamity Fire to refine my soul, destroying my three souls and seven spirits." "Kill you? Refine my soul with Calamity Fire? Why?" Ding Ling asked in horror.
"Seal my pressure points first," the Holy Maiden urged.
"This won't work, let's go into the valley," Ding Ling said, composing herself.
"I can't go in," the Holy Maiden shook her head.
"It's possible." Ding Ling walked behind a rock, felt around for a while, and the large rock slowly moved, revealing a passageway. It turned out that Changchun Valley had another entrance.
There was a hundred-year-old tree in Changchun Valley. Li Xiangdong had used the Red Butterfly to enter the valley and retrieve the Xuanwu Staff, one of the Four Treasures of Asura, from under the tree. However, he didn't know that there were two stone chambers built on the cliff behind the tree. One was used to enshrine the ancestral tablets of the Soft Bone Sect, and the other was for the daily life of the disciples who entered the valley.
"Li Xiangdong will definitely not find this place, and even if he does, he won't be able to enter the valley," Ding Ling said, leading the Holy Maiden into one of the stone chambers.
"It's hard to say." The Holy Maiden was already a frightened bird, how could she dare to make a statement? She also didn't want to waste her limited time, so she sat down and said, "Time is running out. Quickly press my acupoints; I have a lot to tell you." "Then I apologize." Ding Ling thought to herself that the Holy Maiden had repeatedly asked her to press her acupoints, so it must be of great importance. Without further hesitation, she waved her hand and watched as she pressed the Holy Maiden's eighteen major acupoints.
"I was harmed by Li Xiangdong's sorcery, and my mind and nature have been altered. Only on the night of the full moon will I return to my true nature. If you don't press my acupoints, after tonight I will revert to the Asura Demon Queen, and then I will definitely be a threat to you," the Holy Maiden explained.
"Does he...do he know this secret?" Ding Ling stammered.
"Of course he knows," the Holy Maiden said bitterly. "That's why every full moon is my time of suffering. If it weren't for your magic and his ability to attract everyone's attention, I wouldn't have been able to pretend to be the Demon Queen, subdue them, and show myself to help." "Why did he treat you like this?" Ding Ling asked indignantly.
"Because I am his mother!" the Holy Maiden said, tears welling in her eyes.
"What...?" Ding Ling was struck dumb, speechless.
The Holy Maiden didn't hide anything, recounting how she was forced into pregnancy by Yu Chi Yuan, and how she had heartlessly expelled the bastard child. Unexpectedly, Li Xiangdong didn't die and vowed revenge. As a result, she was defeated and captured at the Cold Pool, where he cruelly destroyed her martial arts and took her mind away, forcing her to marry her son and become an accomplice to evil. Ding Ling was speechless, dumbfounded.
“Although Li Xiangdong is my son with Yuchi Yuan, Yuchi Yuan, after discovering the Fallen Red Demon Exorcism Technique, used a demon-planting method to implant his essence and spirit into my body, allowing Li Xiangdong to survive and continue his lineage. Therefore, he is nominally human, but in reality a demon, and no one in the world can cure him now.” The Holy Maiden said sadly after recounting the past.
“If…if he mastered the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra…?” Ding Ling asked, blushing.
“The current Li Xiangdong is different from Yuchi Yuan back then. He deeply understands the secrets of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and the Fallen Red Demon Exorcism Technique cannot defeat him. You must not make a pointless sacrifice.” The Holy Maiden understood Ding Ling’s current intention and said solemnly.
“The Demon-Subduing Manual left behind by Elder Daxiong records the martial arts and magic he comprehended in his later years, and also revised the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra. Given time, perhaps…” Ding Ling hesitated.
"No wonder your martial arts and magic have improved so much." The Holy Maiden nodded, then sighed, "But Li Xiangdong is exceptionally talented and has mastered all the Asura secret arts. What he has learned now far surpasses that of Yuchi Yuan back then. Even if he were to master the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, I'm afraid he still wouldn't be a match for him." "Are we just going to let him run rampant and wreak havoc on the world?" Ding Ling said indignantly, "I don't believe the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra can't defeat him!" "Your ambition is a blessing for all living beings, but before you've mastered the Demon-Subduing Manual, don't act rashly." The Holy Maiden warned, "Even if you master the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, you must never use the Fallen Blood Exorcism Technique!" "Why?" Ding Ling asked curiously.
"Because Li Xiangdong is exceptionally gifted and has also mastered the evil art of lust. No woman can defeat him in bed. The Fallen Blood Exorcism Technique will only benefit him. Not only will he sacrifice himself in vain, but the suffering he will endure will be beyond your imagination." The Holy Maiden said solemnly.
"Disciple understands." Ding Ling nodded shyly, secretly thinking that if she could defeat Li Xiangdong, she wouldn't have acted so shamelessly.
"I've said what I needed to say. It's time to kill me. Remember to use the Calamity Fire to refine my soul, lest I suffer in the Hell of Lust." The Holy Maiden felt restless, knowing she was about to revert to her demonic form, and said sadly.
"No, perhaps I can break his demonic magic with the Buddha's Protection and Immortal Cultivation." Ding Ling cried out urgently, then recounted how she restored Yu Zhi's sanity.
"Is that so...?" The Holy Maiden was initially delighted, but then said sadly, "Even if I can break his demonic magic, can I still live?" "Don't say that even ants cherish life. The enemy is powerful. Only you know the true strength and weaknesses of the Asura Sect. Without your guidance and assistance, how can we fight them? Can you bear to watch Li Xiangdong wreak havoc on the world and disregard all living beings?" Ding Ling said solemnly.
"I..." The Holy Maiden knew that Ding Ling was right. After thinking it over, she couldn't help but feel bitter, and tears streamed down her face.
"Please sit down first, let me cast my spell," Ding Ling said, helping the Holy Maiden sit cross-legged.
"Wait," the Holy Maiden said through gritted teeth, "Take off your clothes." "Take off my clothes? Why?!" Recalling the humiliation she suffered at the dilapidated temple, Ding Ling's heart trembled, and she asked, unsure whether to feel shame or fear.
"Take off your outer garment, and you'll know whether you can break Li Xiangdong's sorcery," the Holy Maiden said sadly.
Ding Ling found it strange, so she helped the Holy Maiden undress, discovering that she was only wearing a colorful handkerchief wrapped around her chest. She must have been in such a hurry that she didn't have time to put on a bodice. Recalling the strange snake she had seen on the breasts at the dilapidated temple, she vaguely understood.
"Turn my body around and look at my back," the Holy Maiden said, her acupoints sealed, unable to move, so she naturally needed Ding Ling's help.
Ding Ling then supported her smooth, silky shoulders and turned the Holy Maiden's delicate body around. Looking down, she couldn't help but be shocked.
“This is a Shura Yaksha, it was Li Xiangdong who had it pierced.” The Holy Maiden said blankly, “Does the Yaksha have a face now?” “No…no.” Ding Ling said tremblingly, unable to imagine how much suffering the Holy Maiden endured when this Yaksha was pierced.
“This Shura Yaksha is meant to control me. When it has a face, I will be the Shura Demon Queen.” The Holy Maiden said sadly.
“Control you? He…he doesn’t let you wear clothes?” Ding Ling asked in surprise.
“Not many people in the Demon Palace wear clothes.” The Holy Maiden said with tears in her eyes, “The most dangerous thing is that as long as someone chants the incantation, those two strange snakes will come to life, open their mouths and bite wildly. Even if I regain my senses, I can’t fight back.” “Two strange snakes?” Ding Ling exclaimed, knowing that the Holy Maiden had one snake on her breast, but not knowing that there was another one there.
“One is on my breast, and the other is in my anus. When it comes to life, it will crawl back in.” The Holy Maiden said with lingering fear.
“What?” Ding Ling exclaimed in disbelief.
“Do you want to see?” the Holy Maiden said sadly.
"No...I won't look!" Ding Ling cried out in fear.
"After you cast the Buddha's Protection and Immortal Holding spell, don't rush to release my acupoints. Wait until the sun rises, then see clearly whether the Yaksha has a face. If it does, then take my life without a shred of pity," the Holy Maiden said resolutely. "
...I...I'm sure I can break Li Xiangdong's sorcery," Ding Ling replied tremulously, her voice still trembling, unsure if she could bring herself to do such a thing.
"Then cast the spell," the Holy Maiden said resolutely.
Ding Ling then calmed her mind and secretly recited the incantation. The Holy Maiden immediately felt dizzy, then her mind went blank with a loud bang, and she lost consciousness without knowing why.
The Buddha's protection was indeed extraordinary. Once it was used, the Asura Yaksha disappeared. The Holy Maiden had finally found her. After many days of fierce fighting, Ding Ling was exhausted. After confirming that the Holy Maiden was no longer troubled by the Asura Yaksha, she immediately fell into a deep sleep to replenish her lost energy and strength. The Holy Maiden, however, sat blankly to the side like a wooden statue, unable to close her eyes for a long time.
Li Xiangdong finally broke free after three days.
During these days, the members of the Asura Cult were as anxious as ants on a hot pan, constantly coming to check on him. Ye Xing, Ye Yue, and Lina stayed by his side day and night, not daring to leave. Seeing their ashamed and fearful faces, they assumed that the Holy Maiden had escaped and committed a terrible mistake.
"Your Majesty, she knocked me unconscious while I was dozing off..." Lina immediately knelt down when she saw Li Xiangdong step out of the cage, her eyes red. She said that she had dozed off because she was worried about the battle between Li Xiangdong and Ding Ling, which had caused her to be sleep-deprived.
“Mother suddenly used magic to subdue us…” Ye Xing and Ye Yue interjected.
“It was the Holy Maiden who subdued you, not your mother,” Li Xiangdong said angrily.
“We know, but she hasn’t returned yet. We wonder if…” the two women’s eyes reddened.
“Could that bitch have harmed you?” Li Xiangdong asked.
“Yes, and Ding Ling too,” the two women said worriedly. “Lina said that usually that bitch can be driven away by dawn, but it’s been three days, and there’s still no news.” “Should we send people out to search?” Li Xiangdong asked.
“Meiji went out to look for them,” Yexing replied. “We only know that they left the palace through the gate of Gunzhou, and disappeared five miles away.” “They must have harmed her!” Li Xiangdong had already anticipated that Ding Ling could restore Yuzhi’s sanity, and the Holy Maiden would certainly be no exception. He feigned surprise and said, “If we don’t find your mother soon, that vile woman will forever possess her body, causing her soul to be scattered and never to be reborn.” “Then what should we do?” the two women asked anxiously.
“They are hiding in Changchun Valley atop Green Mountain. They can’t escape,” Li Xiangdong sneered. It turned out that after witnessing the Holy Maiden’s sudden appearance and rescue of Ding Ling, he had ordered 100,000 demon gods to find a way to break Ding Ling’s restrictions. At the same time, he also ordered the Asura Yaksha to track the two women’s whereabouts. Unfortunately, when the Yaksha reached Changchun Valley, they could not break through the restrictions set by Ding Ling and could only stay outside the valley to monitor them.
“Then hurry up and bring your mother back!” the two women cried out urgently.
“Changchun Valley? No one but Red Butterfly can enter.” Rina exclaimed in surprise. She had accompanied Li Xiangdong and Red Butterfly to search for the Xuanwu Staff and knew that ordinary people could not enter lightly.
“Why?” the two women asked curiously.
“It’s like this…” Rina explained.
“Did that bitch Saintess also learn the Jade Maiden Gentle Feelings Skill?” the two women asked in surprise.
“Although she knows it, her skill is insufficient, so she can’t enter.” Li Xiangdong breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Fortunately, that’s why the Asura Yaksha discovered other ways to enter the valley.” “Then let’s set off immediately.” the two women said excitedly.
“Don’t be impatient. Ding Ling and that bitch are together, and their strength should not be underestimated. We need to arrange enough manpower so that they don’t escape.” Li Xiangdong waved his hand and said, worried that Ding Ling might also make the Asura Yaksha possessing the Saintess unable to control her heartless mother, then the outcome would be unpredictable.
"Holy Maiden, don't think too much. Three days without food, water, speech, or movement—even an iron man couldn't endure that. Please eat something," Ding Ling said, bringing her food.
Although she understood the Holy Maiden had suffered immense harm, Ding Ling hadn't expected her to become like this after the curse was lifted. She had offered countless words of comfort these past few days, but the Holy Maiden remained unresponsive, like a living dead. This filled Ding Ling with worry and anxiety.
She worried about the Holy Maiden's health, fearing that this revered prodigy would be forever broken, a devastating loss to the righteous martial world and a severe blow to the cause of slaying demons.
Her anxiety stemmed from her urgent need to ascertain the true nature of Li Xiangdong and the Asura Cult, so she could contact heroes from all directions and devise a plan to confront the enemy.
Ding Ling was truly at a loss and knew she couldn't delay any longer. Suddenly, she remembered a folk remedy. It was said that people who suffered too much trauma would go mad, but if a drastic method was used to touch the patient's hidden pain, it could make them turn over a new leaf. As the saying goes, "A heart ailment requires a heart remedy." At this point, she couldn't worry about anything else and decided to risk it. So she put down the food and turned to leave.
"Li Xiangdong is here!" After a while, Ding Ling rushed in, shouting.
"...Li Xiangdong...Where is Li Xiangdong?" The Holy Maiden trembled as if she had been electrocuted, her voice trembling.
"He's right outside the door!" Ding Ling shouted, "He said he wants to see his mother!" "No...no, I'm not his mother...no...I won't see him!" the Holy Maiden cried out.
"If you're not his mother, then who is?" Ding Ling said coldly.
"I don't know, I'm not...not me...He's a great demon, a great demon, a great demon doesn't have a mother!" the Holy Maiden screamed hysterically.
“That’s right, you’re not his mother. The great demon has no mother. He’s just a continuation of Yuchi Yuan, and he deserves to die too!” Ding Ling echoed the Holy Maiden’s words.
“Yes, he deserves to die! He must be killed!” the Holy Maiden exclaimed abruptly.
“If he were your son, would you still kill him?” Ding Ling asked cruelly.
“Son? No… he’s not mine! I don’t have such a son!” the Holy Maiden cried out in despair, “How could I kill my own child?!” “Li Xiangdong is a great demon, an enemy of the martial world. If he doesn’t die, who knows how many wives and children will be torn apart, how many families will be destroyed? It’s better for one family to weep than for another. Even his son should be killed!” Ding Ling said resolutely.
“Even his son should be killed?” the Holy Maiden murmured to herself.
“Even his son should be killed!” Ding Ling repeated.
“He should be killed…!” the Holy Maiden screamed, then fainted.
Ding Ling was shocked, cursing herself for going too far. She quickly tried to revive her, and after a while, the Holy Maiden slowly awoke.
"Holy Maiden... Holy Maiden, are you alright? Alas, I deserve to die!" Ding Ling cried anxiously upon seeing the Holy Maiden awake.
"Where is Li Xiangdong?" the Holy Maiden groaned.
"He didn't find this place. I lied to you," Ding Ling said, her face full of shame.
"Lie to me? Why did you lie to me?" the Holy Maiden asked in astonishment.
"I... I saw you hadn't eaten or drunk for days, and I was afraid it would harm your health, so... so I used this method to make you... to make you speak," Ding Ling stammered.
"Haven't eaten or drunk for days?" the Holy Maiden asked, puzzled.
"We've been back for four or five days, and you haven't eaten anything at all..." Ding Ling said, her face filled with worry.
"Four or five days? Then... then the Demon Queen... the Demon Queen hasn't appeared...?" the Holy Maiden asked timidly.
"No, the Demon Queen is dead, and she'll never appear again." Ding Ling thought to herself with secret joy; it seemed the Holy Maiden had returned to normal.
"Dead?! It's best that she's dead...!" the Holy Maiden said sadly.
"Don't think about the past. Eat something and rest well," Ding Ling comforted her.
"How can I not think about it?" the Holy Maiden cried, tears streaming down her face.
"Yesterday's events are like yesterday's death, today's events are like today's birth. One must look forward. What's the use of dwelling on the past?" Ding Ling said solemnly.
"Shouldn't we think about it?" the Holy Maiden asked sadly.
"We shouldn't!" Ding Ling said firmly. "What we should be thinking about is how to deal with Li Xiangdong in the future and destroy the Asura Cult." "His martial arts and magic are both highly skilled. Can we defeat him?" the Holy Maiden said in despair.
"We can. Besides, although we lost some experts this time, most of the masters from the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects still managed to escape unscathed. The martial arts world's vitality is undamaged; we still have a fighting chance," Ding Ling said ambitiously.
"Oh no!" The Holy Maiden's expression suddenly changed drastically. "Most of the experts from the nine gangs and thirteen sects that Li Xiangdong released have already defected. Those who haven't are poisoned without realizing it. We must notify them as soon as possible." "Weren't they all imprisoned in the Extinction Space? How could someone have defected without us knowing? And they'll definitely be on guard. Could they have been ambushed without even realizing it?" Ding Ling asked incredulously.
"It's the Demon Queen's doing again!" The Holy Maiden said sadly. "She secretly has a milk-fragrant mist. After bewitching everyone, Li Xiangdong can do whatever he wants." "What is the milk-fragrant mist?" Ding Ling asked.
"It's my milk..." The Holy Maiden blushed and explained the Demon Queen's secret technique and how the experts trapped in the Extinction Space lost consciousness in their sleep, only to be ambushed by Li Xiangdong.
"Li Xiangdong is truly vicious!" After hearing the Holy Maiden's explanation, Ding Ling couldn't help but feel a chill. It seemed that the experts from the nine gangs and thirteen sects were unreliable. Only she and the Holy Maiden remained to fight. How easy would it be to destroy the Asura Cult?
"No matter what, we must notify the Nine Gangs and Thirteen Sects as soon as possible; every one we save is a life-saving one," the Holy Maiden said resolutely.
"That's right, we'll set off immediately tomorrow morning," Ding Ling nodded.
