Chapter 1393: Chapter 1392: The Unintentional Willow Becomes a Shade

A drop of demon blood was flying through the sky.

A few hundred li away, Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi were hiding nearby, showing no trace of their presence.

"It seems like the monks from the Great Brahma Heaven Temple haven’t caught up," Lu Zheng said regretfully, "Did you fly too fast?"

"No rush, I didn’t deliberately hide the presence of the demon blood; anyone with enough cultivation can sense it."

Si Lingxi said calmly, "Regardless of whether he follows, the destination of the demon blood can always be found."

Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, "Isn’t that too obvious? Won’t he suspect something?"

Si Lingxi chuckled, "Don’t worry, someone at his cultivation level will decide whether to be suspicious based on himself as well as us."

"Hmm?"

Lu Zheng glanced back at Si Lingxi, "Are you implying something about me?"

"No!" Si Lingxi shook her head decisively.

"I can tell you are!" Lu Zheng widened his eyes.

"Really, I’m not!" Si Lingxi’s smile, however, betrayed nothing.

"I, your husband, will..."

Just as Lu Zheng spoke, he noticed a change in Si Lingxi’s expression.

"What’s wrong?" Lu Zheng immediately asked.

"This is what happens when you intentionally plant flowers but fail; yet when you accidentally plant willows, they grow into shade." Si Lingxi looked below, her gaze focused, "We’ve done so well that another demon has been lured out."

Another demon?

Lu Zheng also looked below, "This is the territory of Linxi Dao, adjacent to Dingyuan Dao and Guanglin Dao, could it be..."

"The Profound Profound Demon Lord?"

Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi exchanged a glance.

Si Lingxi nodded, "It must be him. He just used his divine thought to communicate with the demon blood, but I ignored him."

Lu Zheng frowned, "It seems the Profound Profound Demon Lord is also a true spirit descended. That makes five already, matching the group size when Erlang God descended."

Lu Zheng couldn’t help but click his tongue, "There shouldn’t be any more, right?"

"What is there to fear? We’ve already sent three back." Si Lingxi laughed, looking at Lu Zheng with affectionate eyes.

Lu Zheng couldn’t help but chuckle, then hugged Si Lingxi, planting a kiss on her cheek, "It’s all thanks to you sending them back, my wife is amazing!"

Si Lingxi smiled, thinking it was thanks to Lu Zheng’s rescue; otherwise, she might already be dead.

Besides, the Great Black Heaven Heartless True Desire Demon Ancestor, Dark Sun Crossing Void True Emperor Demon Venerable, and the Fiery Heaven-Destroying Demon Dragon King were all part of his plans and involvement.

But between spouses, it feels too distant to keep thanking each other; after dealing with the Xiong Shen Great Demon Venerable matter, going back to the Divine Fire Grotto Heaven at Phoenix Mountain for a month of cultivation will suffice.

Si Lingxi: (﹡ˆᴗˆ﹡)♡

"Since the Yuan Ya Old Demon has exposed himself, he’s as good as dead."

Si Lingxi said, "But we still need to find the exact whereabouts of the Profound Profound Demon Lord, as we don’t have his presence to locate."

Lu Zheng nodded, "Since it’s in the Central Plains, it’s naturally a Central Plains matter. I’ll return to White Cloud Mountain and inform the Ancestor, and also notify Chixiao Temple."

The fact that Master Yun Ning of Chixiao Temple has fallen is the doing of the Profound Profound Demon Lord; Chixiao Temple naturally needs to take action.

"Okay."

Si Lingxi nodded.

Since the approximate location of the Profound Profound Demon Lord has been confirmed, and with the intervention of White Cloud Temple and Chixiao Temple, Celestial Sword Mountain at Linxi Dao naturally won’t stand by idly.

That Old Demon can’t stir much trouble.

Even in the worst-case scenario, the other four demons have already perished, so even if he jumps out later, he will be isolated and face certain death.

As they were discussing, Si Lingxi’s expression shifted slightly, and she couldn’t help but let out a hint of a smile, "They’re coming."

Lu Zheng’s eyes flashed, immediately grasping Si Lingxi’s meaning, "The Great Brahma Heaven Temple?"

Si Lingxi nodded, "Old Monk Fansa himself has made a move."

"Wow!" Lu Zheng exclaimed in surprise, "Is he really planning to venture into the Southern Border?"

"That old monk is quite confident, always dismissing those outside Buddhism."

Si Lingxi said calmly, "Even the largest Lianshan Sect in the Southern Border is considered a rabble, insignificant like dirt in his eyes."

"So arrogant?"

Si Lingxi nodded, "Yes, not just Lianshan Sect, even the demons of Phoenix Mountain are seen as mere birth from wetness, covered in hair and horned."

"What the heck?" Lu Zheng was stunned, "Even you don’t meet his standards?"

Si Lingxi, the Master of Southern Border Phoenix Mountain, the world’s only Fire Phoenix, with incredible Dao practice, always a distinguished guest wherever she went, was actually regarded as someone born damp and covered in feathers and horns?

"Old Monk Fansa has the grounds for it." Si Lingxi wasn’t angry, "Because he could be considered the foremost in Western Buddhism; previously, he indeed surpassed me slightly."

"Uh..."

Lu Zheng thought about it and realized that might be the case.

The Great Brahma Heaven Temple is recognized as the largest temple in the Western Buddha Country, and since Master Fansa is the contemporary ancestor of the Great Brahma Heaven Temple, he is naturally the foremost figure in Western Buddhism.

In terms of raw power, he was indeed a bit stronger than Si Lingxi before, making it understandable.

But at their level, the difference between slightly better and slightly worse isn’t significant; they’re all top experts of the same level.

To taunt someone just because of a slight advantage is a bit too much; it’s not like he could truly suppress Si Lingxi in a fight.

Just like Dongyangzi, Ling Kunzi, Zen Master Dejie, they wouldn’t be inferior to Si Lingxi, yet they would never mock her as being born in wetness.

"Wait, previously?" Lu Zheng suddenly noticed a key point.

Si Lingxi grinned, "Previously."

Thanks to dual cultivation with Lu Zheng and the nourishment from the Light of Fortune transforming the Phoenix Origin, Si Lingxi has been progressing even though she had already reached the peak of this world.

Though it hasn’t reached the level of completely transforming, it’s a significant improvement from what it was before.

This was evident from how she managed to suppress Su Aojun and the Demon Dragon King in a short period during a previous battle.

"What about now?" Lu Zheng asked.

"Now I hold a slight advantage." Si Lingxi smiled.

"Wife, you’re amazing!" Lu Zheng promptly transformed into a flatterer.

Si Lingxi smiled with her lips pressed together, then grabbed Lu Zheng’s arm and accelerated once again.

As for the drop of demon blood in flight, it continued straight toward the Southern Border without stopping, with its aura constantly diminishing.

"Is the magic power inside it running out?" Lu Zheng asked.

Si Lingxi nodded, "Covering up my Phoenix Divine Fire, having killed Monk Tucha, and traveling thousands of li away, though it’s all just superficial, it’s not easy to fool Old Monk Fansa; this drop of demon blood is nearly spent."

"But making it back to the territory of Lianshan Sect shouldn’t be a problem." Si Lingxi said.

After all, the core manipulation of the demon blood is still done by Si Lingxi’s Phoenix Divine Power, with the demon blood’s magic power dissipating on the surface.

The focus is more on a façade.

But Si Lingxi wasn’t worried at all, as her speed far surpassed that of Master Fansa.

Moreover, she only had Lu Zheng with her, while Master Fansa was accompanied by six monks.

Thus, with Si Lingxi in the lead and Master Fansa following, both entered the territory of the Southern Border, heading straight for the domain of the Lianshan Sect, guided by a drop of demon blood.
