Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 277 Escaping Calamity in the Demon Cave, Enjoying Twenty-One Years of Bliss

"Yingying, after you plant the Demon Slave Mark, I guarantee that when we cultivate together, I'll make you feel like an immortal!"

Dou Eqing abruptly brought up the matter of planting the Demon Slave Seal.

His calling her "Yingying" made Fu Renying's eyebrows furrow slightly, and it sounded a little awkward to her, as she was still immersed in the afterglow of happiness.

After all, according to the seniority system of the Demon Hunter Sect, even if they don't call her Ancestor, they should at least call her Grandmaster Uncle, and the change in address to "Yingying" seems too fast.

Moreover, now that Dou Eqing has just gotten her, he wants her to be his slave. He's even more despicable than a heartless man who turns his back on his lover after getting what he wants.

Upon hearing this, Fu Renying was also furious. She twisted her dantian and suddenly exerted her strength.

Dou Eqing quickly begged for mercy, and Fu Renying punished him slightly before letting him go.

Fu Ren then said resentfully:
"I've already become yours, are you still afraid I'll betray you? If you're really capable, I'll accept being conquered by you and becoming your sex slave."

This exchange between the two, coupled with Fu Renying's words, immediately transformed the atmosphere between them into a fierce and explosive one.

In particular, Fu Renying possessed an extremely lustful constitution, which was rare among those who had been deprived of sex for a long time. How could a mere round of dual cultivation satisfy her?

Behold, Fu Renying suddenly took the initiative, twisting her slender waist like a dragon turning over, her black hair spreading like dark clouds, and she pinned Dou Eqing down beneath her.

A hint of allure lingered in the corners of her eyes, and her breath, sweet as orchids, escaped her lips as she parted slightly: "Today, let's see who subdues whom."

Upon hearing this, Dou Eqing's eyes darkened, and a low laugh escaped his throat.

He gripped her waist with his iron hand, the white knuckles reflecting the red marks that were gradually appearing on her snow-white skin.

The contest between the two created a unique battlefield scene, as if the clash of swords and the trampling of brocade blankets on a landscape of mountains and rivers.

Truly, cultivation makes one oblivious to the passage of time; this tug-of-war lasted for two decades, with plum blossoms blooming outside to welcome the snow, and springtime never ceasing inside the tent.

Later, Fu Renying gradually understood the mystery. Sometimes she would sigh at Dou Eqing's strength and pretend to be defeated, but her eyes were full of cunning.

She gently stroked Dou Eqing's smooth back with her fingertips, much like a general comforting a battle-hardened steed, all to prolong this soul-stirring confrontation into a century-long affair.

Originally, even Fu Renying's thoughtfulness couldn't have lasted this long. It was only after the addition of the "Mixed Yin and Yang Technique" that Dou Eqing's combat power was able to sustain itself multiple times.

Among them, Ji Xi not only used the "Mixed Yin and Yang Technique" to stabilize her newly broken through Void Refinement Realm cultivation.

In addition, Xiao Yuzhu has also fully acquired the strength of the Void Refining Realm, and her confidence in passing the Void Refining Realm tribulation has increased to 70%.

In fact, Zhou Yutong is the one who is at a disadvantage.

She has a furnace-like constitution, making her a natural target for sexual exploitation.

Fortunately, she wasn't treated as a cultivation vessel, otherwise her cultivation level would have fallen below the Refinement Realm.

Although Dou Eqing's cultivation level did not improve significantly, he refined his spiritual power to its extreme.

The spiritual energy within him transformed between Yin and Yang, with all impurities becoming nutrients absorbed by Yin and Yang, ultimately converting into his cultivation level.

The only regret is that Dou Eqing failed to conquer Fu Renying and make her his sex slave, but Fu Renying's feelings for him gradually deepened, and she developed a sincere affection for him.

When this unprecedentedly long dual cultivation session ended, Zhou Yutong rubbed her aching lower back and muttered:

"I'm the one who lost the most, while Sister Ying is the one who profited the most!"

Although she didn't explicitly say it, everyone knew she was alluding to the fact that Fu Renying hadn't yet been implanted with the Demon Slave Mark by Dou Eqing.

Because she was not under the influence of the Demon Slave Seal, Fu Renying tried her best to extract benefits from Dou Eqing during the dual cultivation process, while the others instinctively had to accommodate Dou Eqing's needs first.

For example, during the moment of yin and yang in harmony, Fu Renying always manages to turn the tables and extract almost all of Dou Eqing's vital essence.

The others, however, were controlled by the Demon Slave Seal and had no choice but to comply with Dou Eqing's wishes first. All the benefits they received were bestowed upon them by Dou Eqing.

Therefore, all the benefits they received were due to Dou Eqing's voluntary efforts.

Suddenly, Fu Renying stepped forward gracefully, her bright eyes filled with deep affection, and her red lips parted slightly as she spoke:
"Dou Lang, why not plant the Demon Slave Mark on me as well? Only by sharing the favor equally can it last. I also know that in this space, even without them, you can control me as easily as crushing an ant."

She placed her slender hand on Dou Eqing's chest, her breath sweet as orchids:
"You have never forced me, and I should understand your difficulties. Now, plant the Demon Slave Mark on me, and I will have no complaints. I only ask that you continue to love me as before."

After speaking with deep emotion, Fu Renying closed her eyes, waiting for Dou Eqing to plant the Demon Slave Mark on her.

"Okay! Let me love you!"

Dou Eqing smiled wickedly, determined to try again and see if he could conquer Fu Renying and make her his sex slave, and then establish a sex slave contract again.

With the existence of the Desire Slave Contract, the two are equal in terms of emotions. Dou Eqing cannot influence her or control Fu Renying in every aspect like the Demon Slave Seal, but he can greatly restrain Fu Renying and prevent her from betraying him.

He tightened his grip on Fu Renying's slender waist, continuing the unfinished journey of the previous battle.

……

Fu Renying's fair skin was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her dark hair spread out like ink on the jade pillow.

Whenever a blush appeared at the corner of her eyes, Dou Eqing felt victory was in sight—the ladder to the highest level always vanished like smoke at the last moment.

Unfortunately, she always fell short, failing just before Fu Renying reached the summit of Paradise.

The reason was that his physical body was stuck at the mid-stage of the fifth rank, and there was a limit to his continued battles. In the end, he was just half a step away from sending Fu Renying to heaven.

Perhaps Dou Eqing's cultivation level is still a bit lacking, after all, Fu Renying has already broken through to the Void Refinement Realm...

Dou Eqing had no choice but to secretly plant the Demon Slave Mark on Fu Renying while she was lost in her lingering dreamlike state.

Dou Eqing's repeated failures to subdue Fu Renying only fueled his desire for conquest. Once the Demon Slave Seal was planted, he immediately launched a new round of conquests.

This clash between Yin and Yang lasted for a full three years.

Perhaps due to the Demon Slave Seal, Dou Eqing was able to replenish his yang energy by absorbing yin energy, eventually conquering Fu Renying's body and soul and sending her to the pinnacle of bliss.

Dou Eqing then arranged for the two to sign a contract for slavery.

It turned out that he had planned all along to remove the demon slave seal from Fu Renying when the time was right.

Fu Renying saw through his thoughts and understood them perfectly.

Fu Renying was so moved that she burst into tears.

As Dou Eqing leaned down and gently kissed the tear stains on her face, she suddenly recalled the past and whispered with a complicated expression:
"Having met such a fine man as Dou Lang makes me realize that I made a mistake before."

"oh?"

Dou Eqing raised an eyebrow. "Tell me about it."

Instead of directly stating what she had done, Fu Renying subtly mentioned Fu Shaoyun.

"Let Yun'er be with you too." "We're enjoying our time together, why are you bringing up other people? There's no reason to push your man to another woman."

Dou Eqing spoke in a joking tone.

He didn't seriously consider what Fu Renying's intentions were in mentioning Fu Shaoyun at this time; he only assumed it was to praise him.

Fu Renying knew it was best not to discuss Fu Shaoyun further, so she didn't continue to explain her thoughts to Dou Eqing.

Seeing Dou Eqing's reaction, she was very satisfied.

If it were any other man, seeing her act like this, he would probably have been overjoyed and readily agreed.

Even if she didn't mention it, those male cultivators who encountered Dou Eqing's situation would most likely have their eyes on the smaller ones after subduing the big ones—only by swallowing both the big and small fish together could they satisfy their insatiable appetites.

After all, most people in this world are like this—they haven't even chewed what's in their bowl before they're already eyeing what's in the pot.

Fu Renying was thinking of Fu Shaoyun's best interests, but Fu Shaoyun, from the Demon Hunter Sect, poached her "girlfriend".

Moreover, many Nascent Soul cultivators from the Hezong sect were also specially trained to reach the late Nascent Soul stage.

In this way, the combat power of the demonic body controlled by Guo Jia became even stronger, and it was no problem for him to fight against a cultivator who had just entered the Void Refinement Realm for three days and three nights.

Over the course of more than twenty years, Fu Shaoyun seized the opportunity of Fu Renying's complete disappearance to take full control of the Qiu family's power. Furthermore, relying on her position as the deputy hall master of the Demon Hunter Sect's Enforcement Hall, she openly and secretly made things difficult for the Hezong Envoy.

Fortunately, the Hezong Sect has a deep foundation—Shi Liyuqiu is stationed in the central government like a pillar of stability, the Baishan Sect and the Dongwu Kingdom are both external allies, and Zhou Zhixiu and Luo Daling secretly provide strong support by borrowing the power of the Blazing Flame Cave.

The most amazing thing is Guo Jia, who received a divine pill made from the fifth-grade Heavenly Origin Liquid given to him by Dou Eqing before his departure. His cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he actually reached the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation Realm.

The cultivators of the Hezong sect were no ordinary people either. Dozens of Nascent Soul cultivators, through the secret cultivation method of combining fifth-order Heavenly Origin Liquid with elixirs, all broke through to the later stage.

Now, the power of the demonic body controlled by Guo Jia has surged, and he can fight against even a powerful expert who has just entered the Void Refinement Realm for three days and three nights without being at a disadvantage.

That demon had a blue face and fangs; its fists could shatter mountains, and its claws could crack the void. It truly terrified both gods and ghosts.

Everyone eagerly awaited Dou Eqing's return, especially Luo Dayou, who had just reached the Refinement stage.

This fellow had barely entered the Void Refining stage when he tasted the sweetness of breaking through his realm.

At this moment, his eyes burned with burning ambition, aiming directly at the position of Lord of the Blazing Cave.

Unfortunately, the current cave master is not only highly respected, but his cultivation level is also far superior to that of this novice who has just entered the Void Refinement stage.

Luo Dayou was making plans in his mind:

If Dou Eqing were to bestow upon him the sixth-tier Heavenly Origin Liquid, even if he could not immediately break through to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm, it would certainly greatly increase his combat power.

He had personally experienced the miraculous effects of the Heavenly Origin Liquid—after breaking through, it completely eliminated the hidden dangers left over from his past cultivation. At this moment, his foundation was so solid that he was like a prodigy who had cultivated diligently since childhood, and his future was bright.

Luo Dayou had never heard of such a miraculous elixir in the world, nor did he know what kind of rare treasure could create such a miracle.

He secretly plotted another scheme: even if his cultivation and reputation were inferior to the current cave master, as long as that woman was willing to step down, the immense power of the Blazing Flame Cave could still fall into his hands.

Luo Dayou placed all his hopes on Dou Eqing.

He felt that Dou Eqing was an unpredictable person, capable of subduing two women at the Refinement Realm, Luo Daling and Zhou Zhixiu—especially since Luo Daling was a mid-stage expert—so he figured that subduing his own sister should be a piece of cake.

Whenever Luo Dayou thought of these things, it was as if he could already see his sister becoming Dou Eqing's private concubine, unable to show her face in public anymore.

At that time, the immense power of the Blazing Cave should naturally be taken over by his younger brother.

It was this deep-seated passion that made him willing to hand over his ancestral legacy.

From the day he broke through to the Void Refinement Realm, he understood that he had long since become a puppet in Dou Eqing's hands—to put it bluntly, he had no choice but to be a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.

So why not be a fierce dog that can rely on its master's power?
Only when a person has self-awareness can they do what is right for them.

This is a true reflection of Luo Dayou.

It is worth mentioning that Sun Jiyue, the former ruler of Dongwu Kingdom, died in battle, which forced Sun Jiuniang to come from Dongwu Kingdom to Wanmo Cave to participate in the war.

She was also the one who very much hoped that Dou Eqing would return as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation.

Because of internal divisions within the Eastern Wu Kingdom, they suffered heavy losses in every battle at the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, while gaining very little.

Although other forces also suffered heavy losses, they were able to exchange the lives of their cultivators for a large amount of merit, allowing the survivors to continuously grow stronger and have a better chance of surviving the upcoming battle.

Simply put, the internal divisions within Eastern Ukraine made them lose hope in the great war against the demons, which led to a vicious cycle: the less hope they had, the less they could fight.

Although the Eastern Wu Kingdom had secretly become affiliated with the He Sect, Guo Jia, a rising star, was unable to command the cultivators of the Eastern Wu Kingdom, making it even more difficult for him to help resolve their internal conflicts.

The internal division within Dongwu Kingdom stemmed from two opposing ideologies: one was the desire to break away from Dongwu Kingdom and not be subject to Dou Eqing's control; the other was the intention to break away from Dongwu Kingdom and join Hezong.

Because of Sun Jiyue's death, and the cracks that appeared in the alliance formed by the marriage between the Sun and Ye families, the Sun family completely lost its leadership over the entire Eastern Wu Kingdom.

This is the root cause of the division within eastern Ukraine.

The Demon Slave Seal's influence on Shi Liyuqiu weakened her feelings for the Sun family, further diminishing Sun Jiu's influence within Eastern Wu.

What troubled the Baishan Sect and Guo Jia the most was that the people from the Judgment Hall came knocking on their door, because Ji Xi had disappeared from the Baishan Sect's base and never appeared again.

Meanwhile, Ji Xi was discussing with Dou Eqing that she should undergo the tribulation of lightning in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave, as she wanted to break through to the Void Refinement Realm and then return alone.

Because she also realized that she had been away for too long and had not reported it to the Hall of Judgment.

"It's been so long, the demons have long forgotten about us! Their stakeout only lasted less than three years, and now twenty-one years have passed. With my current strength, I'm about 80% confident I can pass the Void Refinement Realm tribulation. We cultivate demonic arts, so the Void Refinement Tribulation isn't much different from the demons'; it shouldn't be too dangerous..."

Ji Xi gave Dou Eqing countless reasons, and finally persuaded him to agree.

After leaving the Ziwei Immortal Mansion, the two followed the map of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave given to them by the Minotaur Demon and found an excellent place to undergo tribulation in less than half an hour.

Just as Ji Xi had predicted, she survived her tribulation unscathed before the powerful demons arrived.

However, just after they survived the tribulation, several demon experts at the Void Refinement Realm found them, and the two had no choice but to flee.

Just as they were about to be surrounded, the minotaur suddenly appeared and led the two of them through a maze of left and right, actually managing to evade the demon pursuers.

Upon seeing the bull-headed demon, Dou Eqing sensed something amiss. However, since the demonic slave mark had already been planted in his soul, he felt little resistance to this sudden assistance and thus temporarily avoided this calamity with him.

But he knew things weren't that simple.

So, while the three were looking for a place to take refuge, Dou Eqing directly asked the Minotaur:

"But your clan sent you back to make a deal with me?"
