I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 414 Staying Overnight at Martial Saint Mountain! Daoist Venerable's Night Raid!
"father!"

Zi Lianji looked at Zi Wenzhong, who was embedded in the rock and whose life or death was unknown, and his expression became anxious. He was about to rush forward, but Huo Wuyai stopped him.

"Master?"

"Calm down, your dad is fine."

Huo Wuyai shook his head subtly.

He could tell that Ji Hongxiu wasn't really going all out, otherwise Zi Wenzhong would have been smashed into a pile of mud... In front of such a top-tier supreme being, even a first-grade grandmaster was nothing more than a slightly stronger ant.

Although I don't understand why Ji Hongxiu is so angry, given this woman's personality, if I don't let her vent her anger, the consequences might be even more serious.

Upon hearing this, Zi Lianji could only suppress his emotions.

After all, no matter how you look at it, his father was in the wrong.

"Ahem." Huo Wuyai cleared his throat and chuckled, "Wen Zhong is rather reckless, and his behavior this time was indeed somewhat inappropriate. Fortunately, young friend Chen Mo was not injured, otherwise I wouldn't know how to explain it to Zhixia."

Ji Hongxiu had no intention of giving him a way out, and said in a cold tone, "You should feel fortunate. If Chen Mo had really suffered any harm, I would not have let this go today."

Sensing the intense killing intent in those words, Huo Wuyai frowned even more deeply.

Back during the Heavenly Martial Arts Trial, Chen Mo flirted with Ling Ningzhi in public. The way the two were all lovey-dovey infuriated Ji Hongxiu. So much so that when he later wanted to take on a disciple, he even went to the Tian Shu Pavilion to sound out their intentions...

How come the attitude has changed 180 degrees in just over half a year?
Could it be that they're breaking with tradition and agreeing to let the two of them be together? What should Shen Zhixia do then?
Ji Hongxiu, unaware that Huo Wuyai was completely bewildered, turned around and walked straight to Chen Mo.

Seeing Ling Ningzhi, whose face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, he looked at her with a complicated expression. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Weren't you handling a case in the Southern Frontier? Why did you come to Wusheng Mountain?"

Chen Mo replied, "The matter in the Southern Frontier has been completely resolved. On my way back, I passed through Jinyang Prefecture and decided to visit Zhixia. It seems that an opportunity has appeared in Qingzhou, so I also plan to go and join in the fun."

"Hmm." Ji Hongxiu nodded, neither confirming nor denying.

Upon hearing this, Huo Wuyai's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer, saying, "Young friend Chen Mo, are you also interested in that secret realm? What a coincidence! We are currently preparing for this. In that case, why don't we stay at Martial Saint Mountain for a few more days? We can travel together and look out for each other."

"Well... alright, then I'll take the trouble."

Chen Mo hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.

After all, he and Zhixia hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they naturally wanted to catch up properly; it was impossible for them to just meet once and then leave.

Moreover, judging from Huo Wuyai's tone, he seemed to know a lot about the Qingzhou Secret Realm, which made him even more curious.

"Don't disturb, don't disturb!"

Huo Wuyai stroked his beard, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that Chen Mo had already entered the "Divine Harmony" realm, only half a step away from the peak of Dao Harmony!

The strength he displayed when he fought Zi Wenzhong just now was far beyond that of an ordinary second-rank!
You have to understand, this kid is only in his early twenties!
As long as they don't die young, given time, they are very likely to break free from their shackles and attain the legendary state of transcendence!
"Such a prodigy, if he could be recruited into our sect, might truly rewrite the history of martial arts!" Huo Wuyai was filled with excitement.

If he was only interested in talent before, now he is determined to get Chen Mo!
The Martial Saint Sect is a sacred place in the hearts of all martial arts practitioners. They took the initiative to extend an olive branch, and with the connection to Shen Zhixia, he really couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

"Let's leave this kid in the sect for now. Anyway, there's still some time before the secret realm opens. We can find an opportunity to have a good talk with him in the next few days."

"Although Zi Wenzhong set a bad precedent, there are often conflicts among martial artists. You could say they became friends after a fight..."

Just as Huo Wuyai was pondering this, he suddenly heard Ji Hongxiu say, "Since that's the case, then I'll stay as well. We can discuss matters concerning the secret realm."

?

Huo Wuyai was stunned for a moment, then looked at her blankly, "You're going to live on Martial Saint Mountain too?"

Ji Hongxiu raised an eyebrow and said, "What, you're not welcome?"

"That's not..."

Huo Wuyai's doubts grew stronger.

Ji Hongxiu usually hates contact with men, and Wusheng Mountain is full of crude martial artists, so she should avoid it like the plague. Why would she take the initiative to offer to stay overnight...? Something just feels a little strange.

However, since the other party had spoken, he couldn't refuse. He turned to Chai Haochuan beside him and said, "Go and clear out the three courtyards behind Qionghua Palace for Daozun and his disciples and young friend Chen Mo to stay temporarily. Also, arrange a few quick-witted servants to take care of their food and lodging. We must not neglect our distinguished guests."

"Yes." Chai Haochuan nodded quickly.

Upon learning that the red-clad Daoist nun before him was the Supreme Daoist, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She was a figure on par with the Martial Saint, one of the most powerful figures in the world!

Ji Hongxiu said calmly, "No need for trouble. I don't like being disturbed. The quieter the better. Besides, two courtyards are enough. Qingxuan and I can stay together."

"Alright, Daoist Master, please stay here in peace. I guarantee no one will disturb your cultivation." Huo Wuyai looked at Shen Zhixia and said, "Zhixia, why don't you take our young friend Chen Mo around and familiarize him with the environment?"

"Brother, let me take you to Falling Star Peak. The scenery there is beautiful."

Shen Zhixia and her sweetheart hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they naturally had a lot to talk about. She took Chen Mo's arm and left.

"List……"

Ling Ningzhi watched their retreating figures, her lips moving, but in the end she said nothing and stood there alone.

Seeing this, Ji Hongxiu sighed silently and said, "Qingxuan, let's go too."

"Mmm," Ling Ningzhi replied, bowing her head.

After the group left, the air returned to silence, and Huo Wuyai's expression turned cold. "That's enough. How long are you going to keep up this act?"

wow-

As the rubble tumbled down, Zi Wenzhong, covered in dust and dirt, crawled out of the crater and staggered to Qiyun Peak. His voice was hoarse as he said, "The Daoist Master is gone? That woman was ruthless; she almost slapped me to death..."

"Dad, are you okay?"

Zi Lianji hurriedly went to greet him.

Seeing the horrific scene, his expression changed slightly.

On the charred and blackened skin, there were dense cracks, like broken porcelain, with blood seeping out from the grooves!

Dao Zun's palm strike actually shattered his Xuanwu True Body!

Huo Wuyai glared at him and said irritably, "You should be glad that Chen Mo is alright, otherwise it wouldn't have been as simple as just getting a slap!"

"What's wrong with you? At your age, you're fighting with a junior? And you didn't even win..."

"You may be shameless, but the Martial Saint Sect still has a sense of shame!"

"..."

Zi Wenzhong's face flushed red, but he knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to argue back. He hung his head and said, "Alright, Sect Master, stop teasing me. I just wanted to scare Chen Mo, but I didn't expect him to be even more stubborn than me. He got carried away and started to lose his temper..."

"As for losing, it was partly because I underestimated my opponent and was careless, but mainly because this kid really does have some skill."

"I limited my cultivation to the third rank, so I couldn't do anything to him at all."

Although Zi Wenzhong suppressed his cultivation level and his strength seemed to be only at the third rank, his physique, honed over many years, remained unchanged, so in the end, he still had the advantage.

Even so, Chen Mo was not at a disadvantage at all, and could even break through his defenses, which was enough to prove everything.

He not only lost, but he lost completely!
"You think Chen Mo could take the top spot on the Qingyun Ranking by stepping on the Buddhist disciple of Wuwang Temple? It must be some kind of empty boast."

Huo Wuyai said in a deep voice, "That is the youngest grandmaster in the Great Yuan Dynasty, and he is also a practitioner of both Dao and martial arts! You dare to provoke someone without even knowing their background?"

"Dual cultivation of Taoism and martial arts? No wonder he has such abilities."

"Judging from this, he's far stronger than Lianji." Zi Wenzhong clicked his tongue, then asked with some doubt, "Speaking of which, what does the conflict between me and Chen Mo have to do with Daozun? Why is she so angry?"

Huo Wuyai looked puzzled and frowned, saying, "I don't know either. Maybe they saw Chen Mo's talent in Daoist cultivation and decided to take him as a disciple?"

“Possibly.” Zi Wenzhong nodded and said, “That kid’s lightning technique is indeed quite remarkable. It feels different from that of the Tian Shu Pavilion, but its power is no less.”

Huo Wuyai stopped thinking about it and waved his hand, saying, "I was originally thinking of having you go to the Qingzhou Secret Realm with Lianji, but now it seems better to forget it, lest something goes wrong. You should stay in the sect and recuperate during this time."

Having said that, he vanished in a flash.

"This is such a mess..."

Zi Wenzhong scratched his head awkwardly.

Noticing the strange looks from the disciples around him, his expression immediately turned stern, and he reprimanded, "What are you looking at? Have you all understood what I taught you today? Now get back to your cultivation!"

No one dared to provoke him, and they scattered like birds and beasts, but the shock in their hearts was hard to quell.

It's worth noting that even Xue Junshan, who was known as "the number one person below the Martial Saint," couldn't gain any advantage over the Purple Peak Master before being utterly humiliated by a junior...

After today, Chen Mo's name will likely resound throughout the entire martial arts world!

……

……

"Zhixia, didn't you say you were going to take me to some Falling Star Peak? Why are we back in the room?" Chen Mo followed Shen Zhixia to a secluded courtyard behind Qionghua Palace and was pulled into the bedroom by her. He couldn't help but look puzzled.

Shen Zhixia bolted the door shut, leaned against the door, and bit her lip, saying, "That's just for show. We haven't seen each other for so long, how could anyone be in the mood to look at the scenery?"

Chen Mo blinked. "So what do you want to do?"

Shen Zhixia puffed up her cheeks in anger, and said shyly and angrily, "Brother, you know perfectly well what you're asking!"

She took two steps forward, stood in front of Chen Mo, tilted her long neck back, and gently pouted her pink lips.

Although he didn't say anything, his face clearly said "Kiss me".

Chen Mo smiled, reached out and embraced Yang Liu's slender waist, then lowered his head and kissed her lips.

"Well--"

Shen Zhixia closed her eyes slightly, subconsciously tiptoed, and made a cute, indistinct nasal sound.

Under Chen Mo's unbridled invasion, her breathing became increasingly disordered, and she collapsed into his arms, a blush spreading from her ears and gradually staining her cheeks.

After a long time, the two separated.

Shen Zhixia's chest heaved as she took a breath, her watery eyes gazing at him tenderly, she said, "Brother, I really miss you so much."

Chen Mo narrowed his eyes and sneered, "I wonder who's been badmouthing me behind my back, calling me a big villain?"

Shen Zhixia was incredibly embarrassed. She tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "I just complained a little, who knew you'd actually come? Don't be angry, okay? I know I was wrong~"

"Is it enough to just admit your mistake verbally?" Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and said, "You should know my rules."

Shen Zhixia pouted, hesitated for a moment, then obediently turned around, bent over, her rounded figure pushing up her martial arts robe high, and looked back at him, murmuring, "Brother, be gentle..."

Snapped--

Chen Mo raised his hand and brought it down, using only half his strength, creating a ripple in the water.

Shen Zhixia trembled slightly, her face flushed red as if it could bleed. "Are you calm now?"

"Well, I'll let you off this time for now. If there's a next time, we'll really have to use family discipline," Chen Mo said seriously.

"Okay, I know." Shen Zhixia really wanted to experience what family discipline felt like, but she was too embarrassed to ask. Her eyes darted around, and she changed the subject, saying, "What happened while I was away from Kyoto? Tell me about it, okay?"

"Okay, let's go lie down over there and chat."

Chen Mo picked her up by the waist and carried her towards the bed.

The brocade curtains hung low, casting shadows, and the faint sounds of two people talking could be heard.

"Speaking of which, not long after you left, Chu Heng started to get restless... Hmm? What are you doing?"

"Don't you think it's a bit hot in this room?"

Why did you take off my clothes because you're hot?

Hehe (＾▽＾)

"Where were we... Oh, right, I didn't expect Chu Heng to have planted explosives beneath Kyoto beforehand, which detonated on the day of the festival, almost causing a major disaster..."

"Wait a moment."

"What's wrong again?"

"Brother, my heart is suddenly beating really fast. Don't believe me? Feel it."

"..."

……

……

The neighboring courtyard.

Ling Ningzhi sat on a stone chair in the courtyard, her right hand supporting her chin, gazing at the gradually fading sunset. Her bright face was expressionless, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Seeing this, Ji Hongxiu said helplessly, "Since you miss him so much, then go find him. What's the point of just standing here in a daze?"

Ling Ningzhi snapped out of her reverie and shook her head, saying, "Lord Chen and Zhixia haven't seen each other for so long, they must have a lot to say to each other. How could I disturb them at a time like this?"

say?

She's completely tight-lipped now; how could she possibly utter a single word?

Under Ji Hongxiu's perception, the situation next door was completely clear. Her eyebrows twitched slightly, and she secretly clenched her hands behind her back.

"Alright, I'll go back to my room now. We can talk about it tomorrow morning. Master, you should get some rest too." Ling Ningzhi got up and left the courtyard.

Ji Hongxiu stood there, hesitating for a long time, then muttered to herself, "I haven't seen him for a long time, and the Dao patterns could activate at any time. There's nothing I can do about it; I didn't mean to ruin his plans..."

"You're right, aren't you, White Sleeves?"

There was no response for a long time.

Ji Hongxiu frowned and muttered, "Sleeping so soundly? Never mind, it's all Chen Mo's fault anyway, why should I be the one eavesdropping here?"

Having said that, he formed a hand seal, and his figure gradually became transparent as he floated towards the neighboring courtyard.

They passed through the wall and entered the bedroom.

Although I had already sensed everything through my divine sense, seeing the scene before my eyes still made my heart race.

"These two are really..."
