It's time to become a fairy.

She smiled slightly, pointed her sword at a contestant below, and said with a smile, "I've heard that Brother Lin is also a popular contestant. I wonder if you dare to come up on stage and fight?"

……

……

stab

When the seventh favorite was defeated by Ye Qingge, it was already the morning of the next day.

At the beginning, Ye Qingge was able to maintain a record of killing with a single sword strike, but after continuous battles, Ye Qingge also felt considerable pressure. Relying solely on the suppression of realm was no longer enough, and without using the methods of the Taicang Sect to expose his identity, it would be extremely difficult to defeat him.

As the morning sun shone down, Ye Qingge slashed down seven demonic cultivators with his longsword, emanating a faint aura of malevolence. Combined with the bloodstains on his body and the aura he exuded, he resembled an invincible demon god.

The number of demonic cultivators below the stage continued to grow, showing no signs of dispersing. They were all watching Ye Qingge's battle, waiting to see how it would end.

Not only the demonic cultivators below the stage, Ye Qingge could also feel several gazes falling on her from the shadows. Ordinary people might not be able to find the source, but Ye Qingge, who had experience fighting demon gods, knew that the three demon gods in the city had been attracted by her actions.

"It seems the time is almost up... we can't continue any longer."

The longer the battle lasts, the greater the risk of exposure. Ye Qingge used mental illusion to deceive Tang Yongkang and the others, preventing them from investigating and discovering her identity. However, there were still quite a few loopholes in her operation this time.

Many people had doubts from the beginning, and now that nearly half a day has passed, if they continue to act like this, they will soon be exposed!

Ye Qingge took a deep breath, a regretful expression on his face, and shook his head, saying, "Is this all the demonic cultivators who participated in this competition are capable of? It's truly disappointing."

She looked at the demonic cultivators below the stage, pointed her longsword at them, and revealed an arrogant smile: "The so-called champions of this competition are all of such low strength. In that case, I, Tang, challenge all the champions. The losers shall be forced to leave Nanfeng Demon City and never set foot in it again. I wonder if any of you dare to accept the challenge!"

boom

The demonic cultivators below the stage were in an uproar. Countless people glared at her angrily, eager to step forward and fight Ye Qingge. However, when they thought of the strength Ye Qingge had displayed, they could only remain silent and stand still.

Even some of the top contenders hesitated. Ye Qingge's displayed strength was too great. More importantly, this battle made them sense something unusual, and they have already sent people to investigate.

Seeing that no one dared to go on stage, Ye Qingge raised an eyebrow, preparing to continue provoking him, when a girl dressed as a man jumped onto the stage, coldly staring at Ye Qingge and saying, "Your actions have already broken the rules of the Southern Demon God. Aren't you afraid that the Southern Demon God will hold you accountable?"

Ye Qingge smiled slightly and said calmly, "The Southern Demon God set up this competition with the Thousand Water Pearl as a reward to select a son-in-law for the Demon God Princess. At the same time, it is also to expand his own strength and select suitable demon cultivators to join his camp. Am I right?"

Her body trembled, and she suddenly exuded a chilling aura, her voice firm and powerful: "But my strength is enough to surpass everyone here, and I alone am enough to rival all the demonic cultivators. What use are these trash? It would be more useful to recruit me alone!"

The demonic cultivators below the stage erupted in cheers once again. Ye Qingge's words were so arrogant that they ignited everyone's emotions.

In contrast, the girl dressed as a boy in front of him had a more complicated look in her eyes. Ye Qingge could clearly feel that the gazes directed at her were all different.

She smiled slightly and asked, "May I ask who you are?"

The girl dressed as a boy's eyes flickered. She took a deep breath and said, "I am also a participant in this competition... Come and fight! Let me see if you have the right to be so arrogant!"

"Okay, but I need to rest for a while."

Ye Qingge nodded and made a request: "This place is too dangerous. I need a cultivation room to recover my magic power."

The girl raised an eyebrow, about to retort, but remembering that Ye Qingge had killed seven people in a row, she said nothing, only saying, "At most, there's only half an hour."

"sufficient."

Ye Qingge smiled slightly. The referee next to her clearly received some orders and stepped forward, leading Ye Qingge towards the cultivation room of the central city lord's mansion. Several guards of the city lord followed closely behind and entered with Ye Qingge, standing at the entrance of the cultivation room to prevent Ye Qingge from escaping midway.

With a calm expression, she entered the cultivation room. After the door closed, she breathed a sigh of relief. After cultivating for a while, she suddenly stretched out her hand and cast a soul-snatching spell.

Two chains appeared from her hands, their other ends seemingly tearing through space and entering another dimension. One end connected to Tang Yongkang, and the other end connected to several guards beside Tang Yongkang.

"I've given you this big gift. I hope you can hold on a little longer and help me for as long as possible... Now it's up to you!"

Taking a deep breath, Ye Qingge activated the Heavenly God Transformation. The fifth level of the Heavenly God Transformation was unleashed, and Ye Qingge's momentum was unstoppable. Her aura surged into the Dao Realm, and the Soul-Hooking Technique in her hands also changed, gaining more effects.

There seemed to be some noise outside the door. As if sensing something was wrong, Ye Qingge no longer hesitated and suddenly pulled the chain. Tang Yongkang's figure was forcibly pulled over by the chain. At the same time, her figure was taken to the other end by the chain, to the residence of Tang Yongkang's guards.

Chapter 74 Tang Yongkang's Peak of Demonic Life, The Theft of the Thousand Water Pearl

bang

The moment Ye Qingge's figure completed the exchange, the door burst open, and a middle-aged man dressed in black robes walked in with a gloomy expression. When he saw Tang Yongkang standing there, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Who is it... It turns out to be Lord Nanling Demon God."

Tang Yongkang, who had just completed the exchange, was still a little dazed. A curse slipped out of his mouth, but fortunately he stopped himself in time and bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man.

The forced displacement caused by the Soul-Hooking Technique, which cleaved through the sky, caused immense damage to the soul of the person hit. Tang Yongkang did not have a soul as powerful as Feng Lingxiu's, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood halfway through his bow.

The Southern Demon God's eyelids twitched. He assumed that Tang Yongkang was injured by the reverse flow of his cultivation technique caused by his sudden intrusion, and casually explained, "A traitor just passed by... Where is the physician in the manor? Quickly summon him to treat Little Tang."

The two guards who had summoned the Southern Demon God behind him panicked for a moment and hurriedly went to call for help, not daring to delay in the slightest.

"The traitor is still at large, so I'll go and capture him first. Little Tang, you should take good care of your injuries."

The Demon God of Nanling casually made up an excuse, turned and left, too ashamed to stay any longer.

He had some suspicions about Tang Yongkang's unusual behavior, believing that the other party had a special purpose. He had instructed the guards of the city lord's mansion to keep an eye on Tang Yongkang and notify him immediately if anything unusual happened. When the anomaly occurred in the cultivation room just now, he came to check immediately, but he did not expect it to lead to such a result.

only……

"How could there be spatial fluctuations in the cultivation room?"

He frowned, completely baffled, and decided to keep a close eye on things and observe for a while before making a decision.

the other side

Tang Yongkang was still somewhat bewildered. Naturally, he dared not obstruct the departure of the Southern Demon God. He bowed respectfully to see the Southern Demon God off, looked around at the scene, and touched his still throbbing head: "Where am I now... what exactly happened?"

Countless fragments of memories flooded his mind. He only remembered that he seemed to have encountered something before entering Nanfeng Demon City yesterday, and then he was in a daze. He rested for a night in the Nanfeng Demon City mansion that he had already purchased. How could he suddenly appear here?

His brows suddenly furrowed, as if he realized something was amiss, but he couldn't find the answer no matter how hard he tried. Just as his thoughts drifted back to his actions before entering the Southern Demon City, and he vaguely felt he was about to find the answer...

Hey~

The sound of a guqin rang in his ears; it was the suggestion Ye Qingge had cast yesterday through mental illusion. Whenever his thoughts were about to realize a flaw, the suggestion would be reactivated, and it would be effective for three days!

Tang Yongkang's pupils dilated again, and after a while, they focused again, and he "understood" what had happened.

"Yes, last night I challenged the contestants. I overcame all obstacles and defeated seven people in a row. Today I met a girl with a special identity. After I recover my depleted magic power, I will continue to face the challenges. But why am I so strong that I was able to fight seven people at once... But that's not important."

"I have ten more minutes. After I recover, I will continue to defeat them and successfully marry the daughter of the Demon God."

A greedy smile spread across his face, and faint demonic patterns flickered at the corners of his eyes, almost revealing his true form. Just then, the figure of the city lord's physician appeared at the edge of his field of vision. He quickly suppressed his smile and waited for the physician to arrive.

The physician in the city lord's mansion was an old woman who looked to be in her seventies or eighties. Her hair was gray and her face looked slightly ferocious. She carefully examined Tang Yongkang and shook her head, saying, "The injury is to the soul, which is difficult to cure completely. However, I have a prescription that can temporarily suppress the damage. But it will delay Young Master Tang's subsequent challenges. You'll have to take care of yourself afterward."

She casually took a pen and paper from the guard beside her, wrote down a few characters, and then turned and left.

The guards looked at each other in bewilderment and could only follow closely behind to fetch the medicine.

Ten minutes later

After drinking the potion, Tang Yongkang confidently left the training room and came to the arena. Facing the fearful or skeptical gazes of the crowd, he felt his vanity was satisfied like never before, as if he had reached the pinnacle of demonic life.

Only after standing on the arena and seeing the girl opposite him did his smile freeze slightly. He took a deep breath and bowed to the girl dressed as a man, saying, "Tang Yongkang of Pingfeng City greets Princess Nanling."

The girl dressed as a boy was taken aback, then her face showed embarrassment and annoyance: "What are you talking about... No, you're not Tang Yongkang!"

She frowned slightly, scrutinizing Tang Yongkang with suspicion in her eyes. After a long while, she shook her head firmly and said, "The Tang Yongkang who came up just now clearly gave me the feeling of a girl, not a man like you. Who exactly are you!"

Tang Yongkang's expression stiffened again. This sentence gave him a sense of familiarity. He had just heard it not long ago... Wait, why did it feel familiar to him?

Tang Yongkang fell into deep thought.

The referee beside her coughed lightly and said respectfully, "Your Highness, Young Master Tang is indeed a man."

Princess Nanling frowned and said firmly, "Impossible, unless it wasn't Tang Yongkang who came up before... Hmm?"

She seemed to have thought of something, and a long knife suddenly appeared in her hand, which she slashed at Tang Yongkang.

Tang Yongkang's expression changed, and he subconsciously took out a folding fan to defend himself.

Xiu Jian easily sliced ​​the folding fan in two. Princess Nanling's longsword stopped just one centimeter from Tang Yongkang's forehead. Her expression turned grim: "What happened just now was indeed fake. Quickly inform Father God to seal off the entire city and investigate thoroughly... and you too."

Princess Nanling raised her head, and as she pondered what the previous "Tang Yongkang" was all about, the Tang Yongkang before her suddenly changed.

Demonic markings flashed from the corner of his eyes, and his face instantly transformed from that of a handsome young man into that of a burly man with a long, narrow scar, making him look extremely ugly.

"You actually dared to use this disguise to deceive my feelings! Take him away!"

Two guards rushed out from the crowd and dragged the bewildered Tang Yongkang off the stage.

……

……

The clanging of chains echoed as Ye Qingge used all her divine power after her transformation to maintain herself. Light and shadow flashed before her eyes, and in less than three breaths, she arrived behind a guard.

Several unfamiliar demonic cultivators were chatting and drinking with the guards to see if Tang Yongkang had gone out. The guards, who had been misled by Ye Qingge's mental illusion, naturally did not reveal their secrets and chatted with the demonic cultivators.

The moment Ye Qingge appeared, she immediately attracted the attention of several unfamiliar demonic cultivators. Before they could make a move, Ye Qingge had already activated her mind illusion technique, relying on Feng Lingxiu's powerful soul force to instantly bewilder the group. They sat back down, ignoring Ye Qingge and continuing their conversation.

Ye Qingge took a few deep breaths, then took out a pill and swallowed it. Feeling that nearly half of her spiritual energy had been consumed, her expression became much more serious: "I didn't expect that this Soul-Hooking Technique would consume so much spiritual energy. This place is not far from the City Lord's Mansion, at most two thousand meters away, yet it has consumed nearly half of my spiritual energy!"

"If I hadn't used the fifth level of the Heavenly God Transformation, which raised my cultivation from the mid-stage of the Refining Void and Merging Dao to the late stage of the first level of the Dao Realm, greatly improving the quality of my purified spiritual energy, I'm afraid I would have been able to exhaust all my spiritual energy this time, and there's even a possibility of failure!"

Thinking of the likely outcome of failure, Ye Qingge shook her head, fearing that she would soon be trapped in the city lord's mansion.

The outcome then won't be so simple.

The skills Ye Qingge learned could also be applied to the possessed object, like a special bonus. With the help of the perfected Soul Devouring Technique, Ye Qingge absorbed the medicinal power of the pill in less than half a minute. She felt that her spiritual power had recovered a lot before leaving Tang Yongkang's mansion.

Outside the mansion, there were few people. Most of the demonic cultivators were attracted by the arena outside the city lord's mansion, and Ye Qingge's appearance did not attract anyone's attention.

After carefully observing the hurried guards and the will of the demon god, she breathed a sigh of relief. The events at the arena should not have been exposed yet.

As the image of what Tang Yongkang would look like in front of that girl flashed through Ye Qingge's mind, a smile appeared on her lips. She quickly followed the route she had already memorized and headed towards the mansion where the Venerable God of Nanling was kept.

"When that girl dressed as a man first started following me, I noticed her unusual behavior. Later, when we went onto the arena, I observed carefully and discovered that there were two guards at the Refinement of Emptiness and Integration of Dao. In the Southern Sealed Demon City, only the Demon God's descendant could have such abilities. According to the information we have, the only Demon God's descendant with a daughter is the Southern Ling Demon God."

"That girl just now must be the daughter of the Southern Demon God. Do all female demon cultivators in the world have such a fetish?"

Several thoughts flashed through Ye Qingge's mind. She moved with incredible speed, releasing a mental illusion that made those around her ignore her abnormality. In less than five minutes, she arrived in front of the mansion of the Southern Demon God.

As one of the three giants of Nanfeng Demon City, the mansion of the Nanling Demon God is located in the west of the city. The entrance is decorated in a magnificent manner, and the five characters "Nanling Demon God Mansion" are clearly written on the plaque. Even the guards have reached the third realm of the four realms of immortal cultivation, the Refining Spirit Returning to Emptiness realm. They are dressed in solemn and majestic armor, and look particularly solemn and majestic.

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Qingge used a secret technique, just as she had imitated Tang Yongkang before entering the city, to transform into a girl dressed as a boy. Recalling the image of a girl dressed as a boy in her mind, she adjusted her appearance and walked towards the mansion.

The two guards' eyes flashed with surprise, but they didn't say anything. They assumed that the young lady had developed some new quirk, so they pretended not to see anything and silently opened the door, letting Ye Qingge pass through.

The first test went surprisingly smoothly, and Ye Qingge remained calm as she headed towards the mansion's treasury.

For the Southern Demon God, who had not yet discovered the truth about the Thousand Water Pearl, a Dao artifact obtained from a secret realm was not particularly precious, much less something he would carry around. He simply kept it in his family's treasury. This made Ye Qingge's mission much easier. Relying on the princess's eccentric and willful personality, Ye Qingge easily gained entry into the treasury. It wasn't until she reached the inner treasury where the Dao artifacts were stored that she encountered a difficult situation.

An elderly man dressed in simple ancient clothes sat in front of the inner treasury door. Upon seeing Ye Qingge's arrival, he merely bowed slightly and asked, "Princess Nan, has the Demon God come here because he needs some kind of magical artifact?"
