Chapter 1148: Chapter 233: Such Deep Scheming! Crisis (5 Updates)

However, those three words, he still never said them out loud.

Under Mu Qingge’s gaze, he only slowly lowered his eyes and answered in an extremely soft voice, "Yes."

"But how am I supposed to enter the Taixuan Demon Realm?" Mu Qingge suddenly said.

That sentence of hers was half like talking to herself.

Right now, the reason she had stayed put in Chao Lu was because she didn’t know how to get to the Demon Realm. There was a barrier separating the Demon Realm and the Divine Land.

Si Mo had said before that this barrier had weak points, narrow fissures that could barely allow a person to pass through.

However, she didn’t know where that weak point was.

So she could only wait!

Wait until Yin Chen came back with Bai Shi; he was a Demon Clan spy, so he would definitely know how to enter the Demon Realm.

Wait!

Wait!

Wait!

Mu Qingge took a deep breath, constantly calling out to Yin Chen in her heart.

At this moment, ten thousand miles away from Chao Lu, a silver-white figure was swiftly streaking through the night. On his back, he carried a person; that person seemed to be badly injured and was already unconscious.

Yin Chen turned his head to look at the person on his back, a grave look surfacing in his blood-red eyes.

He stretched out his hand; his long, beautiful five fingers turned into sharp fox claws that flashed coldly in the darkness. He slashed forcefully toward the air; space was torn open, and he leaped in with the person on his back, vanishing from where he had been.

When he reappeared, he was already outside Chao Lu City, not far from Wind Night Crossing.

Space Instant Teleportation—this was a High Rank Magic that only those in the Saint Realm could use.

After the Saint Realm, one was no longer restricted by their Spirit Root. Relying on their comprehension of the Dao, they could grasp various principles and study all kinds of Magic.

If Yin Chen hadn’t broken through, then...

Yin Chen was almost pushing his speed to the limit as he headed toward Wind Night Crossing.

Even though he had the Elixir Mu Qingge had given him, it had failed at this moment.

Bang!

Yin Chen abruptly appeared before Mu Qingge. Mu Qingge didn’t move, but Mo Yang instantly appeared in front of her; only after seeing that it was Yin Chen did he rein in his killing intent.

Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed; she immediately walked forward, and Mo Yang also helped to take the person Yin Chen was carrying on his back down.

This person covered in blood and filth was actually Bai Shi!

As they neared Chao Lu City, Mu Qingge had already sensed Yin Chen. Now, seeing Bai Shi’s condition, her expression instantly darkened.

As she examined Bai Shi’s injuries, Yin Chen immediately said to her, "I rushed over to find him, only to discover that he was being hunted down, gravely wounded. Even if I had him take the Healing Pills you gave me, they could only barely keep him alive, not heal him. Coming from the East Divine Land, I directly tore space and Instant Teleported."

"He’s been poisoned. This kind of poison will constantly erode the body. As long as the poison isn’t purged, no amount of healing will work." As Mu Qingge finished speaking, a detoxification Elixir was already in her hand. Mo Yang immediately pried open Bai Shi’s mouth, letting Mu Qingge stuff the detoxification Elixir inside.

"You have an antidote?" Yin Chen said in surprise.

Mu Qingge shook her head. "No, but this Detox Pill can resolve more than a thousand kinds of toxins. The poison he’s taken happens to be one of them. That’s his luck."

After speaking, she lifted her gaze to Yin Chen and asked him, "Did you see clearly who was chasing him?"

Yin Chen shook his head. "They were all in black clothes and black masks. As soon as I appeared, they immediately fled. And he was heavily injured; I didn’t go after them."

Mu Qingge exhaled a turbid breath and said in a low voice, "Looks like we can only wait until he wakes up."

She stood up and stepped back two paces. Mo Yang immediately stepped forward, took Bai Shi away, and settled him in a room.

Watching them leave, Mu Qingge’s mood grew even heavier.

What did something happening to Bai Shi mean?

He was a Demon Realm spy, but at the same time also a Palace Disciple of Wei Yi Domain... Who would want to kill him? Those black-clothed men, once they saw Yin Chen, immediately withdrew. It was obvious they knew they couldn’t win against Yin Chen and had already judged that Bai Shi would die, so they simply left.

Bai Shi being hunted—was it because something had happened in the East Divine Land, or because something had gone wrong in the Demon Realm?

"Qingge, don’t worry for now." Yin Chen knew what Mu Qingge was worried about and comforted her. "His Cultivation is towering; it’s very difficult for ordinary people to hurt him. Besides, he has many subordinates. It’s not easy to get close to him either."

Mu Qingge’s eyes flashed as she said to Yin Chen, "When he wakes up, I’m going to personally make a trip to the Demon Realm. I’ll leave this side for you to guard."

"Qingge, you’re planning to..." In Yin Chen’s blood-red eyes, it was like demonic fire was burning.

Mu Qingge slightly nodded. Her gaze was calm as she said, "Some matters should be brought to an end."

Yin Chen nodded silently, looking at Mu Qingge with some worry. Although Mu Qingge now had the qualifications to contend, he still couldn’t help worrying.

Because compared to those people, Mu Qingge was simply too young.

"In the Divine Strategy Lower Volume, I’ve already mastered One Thought Finger and Sky Dragon Fist, and I’ve caught a glimpse of the Sealing Heaven Palm as well. I’m going to obtain the remaining Divine Strategy Fragment. The things that should be done must be done—waiting is useless." Mu Qingge slowly shook her head.

Yin Chen pressed his lips together without speaking; he understood Mu Qingge’s feelings.

Just then, Mo Yang quickly returned and said to Mu Qingge, "Lord, he’s awake."

Mu Qingge’s eyes hardened; she immediately walked toward the room where Bai Shi was placed. Yin Chen and Mo Yang closely followed behind her, entering the guest room together.

"Little Divine Emperor Mu!" Bai Shi was leaning against the bedpost. Seeing Mu Qingge step in, he grew so agitated that he tried to get off the bed.

Fortunately, Mo Yang’s eyes were quick and his hands faster; he caught him in time, so he didn’t fall to the floor.

"Lie down and talk," Mu Qingge said.

Bai Shi nodded, his gaze anxious as he said to Mu Qingge, "Little Divine Emperor Mu, the Monarch is in danger!"

’So it really has to do with Si Mo!’ Mu Qingge’s eyes turned razor-sharp, and the hand hidden in her sleeve couldn’t help clenching into a fist.

"What exactly happened?" Mu Qingge’s voice was cold and ferocious; she didn’t even notice the chill in her tone at that moment.

Bai Shi said, "Three days ago, I went by order to the Divine Emperor Hall, and outside I overheard the Divine Emperor speaking. He seemed to have received some secret letter, which mentioned an invitation to assassinate the Demon Realm Monarch. It said the Demon Realm Monarch was currently at a critical juncture in closed-door Cultivation. If he was killed, the Demon Realm would plunge into chaos, becoming a great opportunity for the Divine Clan to utterly defeat the Demon Army. Perhaps, from then on, we could end the conflict between the two races and make the Demon Clan disappear completely from the Divine Demon Continent."

In the Four Seas Divine Land, someone had actually invited others to go assassinate Si Mo!

This news made Mu Qingge’s entire aura turn icy cold. She asked sharply, "How did they know Si Mo is in closed-door Cultivation!"

"This subordinate does not know!" Bai Shi shook his head. "After I overheard, I wanted to leave at once and send word back, but I was discovered by the Divine Emperor. He didn’t know my identity, only felt the matter was too important to allow any leak, so he ordered me back to my own palace and sent people to place me under house arrest. I couldn’t wait; I could only find a way to escape and send word, and that’s how my identity was exposed."

After Bai Shi finished, he said anxiously, "With my identity exposed, it will definitely alert the other Divine Domains; they’ll launch a massive search for Demon Realm spies. But none of that is as important as the Monarch’s safety."
