Demon’s Diary

Chapter 1263: Mo Yun City

The Mountain River Great Array appeared so sudden that Qing Ting and the rest of the Green Snake Race beastkin cultivators were already in the array before they could react.

Under the intertwined yellow lights and black water mist, the 3 cultivators found themselves sinking downward as if a thousand kilograms of weight were inflicted on them. Their movements became abnormally slow. They panicked immediately.

Qing Ting’s eyes flashed fiercely. He flicked his giant tail, causing a loud whistling noise. Thousands of green lines shot out and burst into clusters of green mists around it. from it, which burst into green mist all over his body. It dispelled all the surrounding bone-eating demon ants.

Given that Qing Ting had the highest cultivation level on the battlefield, he managed to escape for dozens of meters away in one go, attempting to escape from the Mountain River Great Array.

At this moment, there was a fluctuation in the air more than 30 meters away in front of Qing Ting. Followed by a flash of black light, Liu Ming’s figure appeared.

It was just that at this moment, Liu Ming was covered with scales and black flames. It was the demonized form.

“No… No way, you actually are…”

Shock flashed across the eyes of the three-headed giant snake that Qing Ting transformed into. Before Qing Ting could finish his sentence, a fist shadow wrapped in a large cluster of black demonic flames surged toward Qing Ting. Qing Ting felt suffocated under the huge force, making him swallow his words abruptly.

In shock, Qing Ting twisted his body and wanted to dodge to one side.

At this moment, several yellow lights swept over, causing Qing Ting to slow down again. Qing Ting could only watch the demonic flame fist shadow hit his three heads.

The 3 snake heads immediately spurted a wave of green mist, forming a layer of an arc-shaped protective shield in front. However, it was ineffective against the demonic flame fist shadow. The shield was punched through without resistance.

The next moment, there was a loud roar. Dense demonic flame fist shadows barraged the 3 heads of the giant beast that Qing Ting transformed into.

The 3 giant snake heads were smashed into pieces. Blood splattered in all directions.

Then, there was a tearing sound!

The Demonized Liu Ming pulled his hands lightly, and the body of the giant snake transformed by Qing Ting was actually torn into 2 halves. The corpse quickly melted in the blazing flames. Even his soul couldn’t escape in time.

The process was clean and neat without the slightest delay.

In mid-air, the three-headed giant snake phantom aspect also collapsed. The pale golden giant that was originally confronting it also turned into the demonized form.

Seeing this, the slender woman and the ugly old man not far away were already pale with fright. It was too late for them to escape.

The two of them were already under the siege of Yao Ji, Xie’er, and the demonic ants all over the sky. Now, they were even in the Mountain River Great Array. There was no possibility of escaping at all.

Just when the two beastkin cultivators looked desperate, the demonized phantasm aspect in mid-air raised its arms. 2 black wind blades wrapped in black demonic flames shot toward them at an incredible speed.

After 2 “puffs“, the 2 cultivators were beheaded in an instant. They were turned into a pile of flesh, losing every trace of vitality. Even the surrounding demonic ants were wiped out under the aftermath of the demonic flames.

At this moment, Xie’er approached in a flash, bowed to Liu Ming, and said,

“Master, can you let Xie’er handle the corpses of these 2 Celestial State snake beastkins?”

Hearing the words, Liu Ming thought of the golden giant scorpion phantasm released by Xie’er previously and nodded immediately.

Seeing that Liu Ming agreed, Xie’er was overjoyed. She made a gesture and released a golden light from her forehead to wrap the 2 corpses, then they turned into black air and returned to the black gourd around Liu Ming’s waist.

Although Ye Tianmei and Yao Ji had seen Liu Ming killing Hu Mei Avatar before, they were still shocked after looking at the majestic mountain and river phantasms around them and the scene of Liu Ming beheading 3 more Celestial State powerhouses.

At this moment, Liu Ming retrieved his phantasm aspect and returned to his original appearance. As he waved his sleeve, the phantasms of the surrounding mountains and rivers also collapsed and turned back into 12 Mountain River Pearl.

Then, Liu Ming flew in front of the two women in a flash and said,

“Now that the young master of the Green Snake Race is dead, the Green Snake Race must be aware of it. Let’s get out of here quickly!”

“Mr. Ye, if my guess is correct, the magic weapon that controlled the demonic ants just now should be the demon-controlling flute of Blood Vine Race, right? No wonder you are so confident that we can travel through the Black Soul Forest.” Yao Ji came back to her senses and nodded slightly. Then, Yao Ji thought of something, turned to look at Ye Tianmei, and said so.

Upon hearing this, Ye Tianmei put away the jade flute in her hand. She flicked her sleeve and took out 3 blood-red cloaks, then said slowly,

“The demon-controlling flute consumes a lot of spiritual power, so it should only be used in an emergency situation. These are the red vine armor made by the Blood Vine Race. They will intercept the perception of the bone-eating demonic ants. After putting this on, we may safely pass through the Black Soul Forest.”

After saying that, Ye Tianmei raised her hand. The blood-colored cloaks were launched toward Liu Ming and Yao Ji in an instant.

Liu Ming took it with one hand. He realized that the point of contact was warm and moist. He subconsciously released his Divine Thought to scan the cloak, and his Divine Thought was difficult to penetrate the cloak as expected.

After Yao Ji took the item, she also looked relieved.

Ye Tianmei put on the cloak, turned into a light stream, and flew toward the forest fist.

Seeing this, Liu Ming and Yao Ji naturally quickly followed.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the black mist.

…

Half a month later, 3 lights shot toward Mo Yun Mountain at the junction of the Black Soul Forest and slowly stopped above a mountain peak.

The escape lights faded, revealing a man and two women. They were Liu Ming, Yao Ji, and Ye Tianmei.

The three of them all looked exhausted. Their clothes also looked tattered. Obviously, even with the red vine armor and the demon-controlling flute, the three of them suffered a lot when they crossed the forest.

“It’s safe once we’re here. Cultivators of the Green Snake Race and the Shadow Wolf Race won’t dare to chase into the Blood Vine Race’s territory.” Ye Tianmei glanced back in relief.

Yao Ji also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She immediately glanced in the direction of the forest, feeling a little sad.

Liu Ming noticed Yao Ji’s expression and sighed in his heart.

As the princess of the Sky Fox Race, Yao Ji was driven out and would likely have to live under the protection of the others from now on, so her mood was of course low.

“Anyway, let’s find a place to stay first,” said Liu Ming.

“I remember Mo Yun City is after this mountain range. Let’s go there and rest for a while.” Ye Tianmei suggested.

Liu Ming nodded. Seeing that Yao Ji had no intention of objecting, he waved his hand and released the Daiyue Jade Boat. After the 3 of them flew up, the jade boat turned into a red light and flew in the direction Ye Tianmei pointed.

After half a day, they flew out of the mountains and came to a large city, which was the Mo Yun City that Ye Tianmei had mentioned.

Naturally, Mo Yun City could not compare with Luo City. However, under the governance of Blood Vine Race, it was also prosperous.

On top of the city walls, the flags of the Blood Vine Race fluttered in the wind. Many beastkin cultivators were seen frequently entering and leaving the city gates, portraying a peaceful and prosperous scene in stark contrast to the current state of constant war of the Sky Fox Race.

Liu Ming retrieved the flying boat into his sleeve in a small valley not far from Mo Yun City. After they tidied themselves up a bit, they came to the city gate entrance.

“Are you 3 entering the city? According to the rules of our Blood Vine Race, each person must pay 500 spirit stones.” A city gate guard came over. Perhaps seeing that Liu Ming’s group had advanced cultivation, his attitude was quite respectful.

Ye Tianmei did not speak, took out a palm-sized red token, and waved it in front of several city gate guards.

“It turns out to be Madam Deputy. Please forgive my rudeness.” The city gate guard immediately showed a respectful look on his face and bowed at Ye Tianmei before giving way.

Ye Tianmei put away the token and walked into the city first.

“Unexpectedly, your status in the Blood Vine Race is not bad. You’re also a deputy elder.” Liu Ming glanced at Ye Tianmei and smiled lightly.

“Don’t make fun of me. In Blood Vine Race, only Celestial State and above can take the position of elder. However, my master doesn’t like to deal with trivial matters, so he got a deputy elder token instead.” Ye Tianmei’s face turned slightly red.

“I see.” Liu Ming chuckled and did not say anything else.

Yao Ji walked at the back of the group. Seeing Liu Ming and Ye Tianmei chatting in joy, although she had made the decision in her mind, she still felt a little sorrowful. Thus, Yao Ji sighed softly as if to vent her emotions.

“Miss Yao Ji, are you feeling not well? Then let’s find a place to rest.” Liu Ming turned around and said.

Yao Ji glanced at Liu Ming and nodded silently.

The three of them quickened their pace and soon came to a bustling street. They were not far away from an inn that looked relatively clean.

As the 3 were about to walk over, Liu Ming’s pupils shrank suddenly. A red shadow flashed in front of his eyes. A young woman in a red dress who was in her thirties appeared in front of the three of them like a ghost and looked at them with a smile.

Liu Ming’s hands hanging by his sides retracted into his sleeves in an instant, and he secretly raised his guard. At the same time, his Divine Thought swept across the young woman in a red dress, and his face changed slightly. With his Divine Thought, he couldn’t identify the cultivation level of the person in front of him at all.

“Mystic Comprehending State powerhouse!” Liu Ming suddenly remembered something and took a deep breath.

“Madam Yu Zao!”

After Ye Tianmei saw the person in front clearly, she hastily stepped forward to greet and said in surprise.

Liu Ming and Yao Ji were startled slightly, but they both secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Mystic Comprehending State powerhouse in front of them seemed to be from the Blood Vine Race.

“You don’t need to be too polite. You’re Sister Ni Shang’s human disciple right? I remember your name is Ye Tianmei. The one next to you seems to be Yao Ji, the princess of the Sky Fox Race right?” The young woman in a red dress said to Ye Tianmei and nodded, then she turned her gaze on Yao Ji.

“Junior is Yao Ji.” Yao Ji cupped her fist and greeted.

“I’m acquainted with your mother, Saint King Lei Su. I also deeply regret what happened to your Sky Fox Race. However, now that you have come to my Blood Vine Race territory, I can guarantee that no outsiders can harm you anymore.” The young woman in a red dress sighed and said slowly.

“Thank you, senior.” A look of sadness flashed across Yao Ji’s face.
