Demon King's Pampered Wife

C85 Profundity(part Ii)

The two of them had yet to recover from their shock, but when Zi Ling raised her arm, they were abruptly jolted awake.

"No!"

"Don't kill me!"

Zi Ling drew a circle with her hand in the air, "I'll ask you guys some questions first. I'll kill whoever answers the worst."

The two of them nodded with the energy they had just accumulated.

"Phoenix Mountain is planning this war between the Beast Race and Stellar Kingdom. Has Joyful Union Sect participated in it yet?"

The two of them shook their heads almost at the same time.

"Alright." Zi Ling's gaze swept over the two of them and continued to ask, "Then do you know why Phoenix Mountain is provoking a war between humans and beasts?"

The two of them hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"I know."

"I know, too," said the white-headed man, startled by his son's first answer.

"Very well, then why don't you tell me?"

"I say," The free and unrestrained child was a bit more crafty. As soon as Zi Ling finished speaking, she immediately said, "The High Lord of Phoenix Mountain wants to obtain something from Stellar Kingdom."

The white-haired old man's mouth was wide open before he could say anything. Upon seeing this, the free and unrestrained child's eyes revealed a hint of pride. But at this moment, a splatter of blood splattered. The white-haired old man's entire neck fell to the side.

The upturned corners of his mouth had not yet fallen down when the boy stiffly and slowly turned his head to look at the purple silk. The fear in his eyes grew even more intense.

"I told you to kill whoever gets the worst answers." Zi Ling stroked the head of the Arrow Tailed Tiger as she spoke with an ice-cold tone. She wouldn't give the enemy a chance to catch his breath, or else the one who would end up like this would be herself!

"Let's continue. What does the fire phoenix want from the Stellar Kingdom?"

"I don't know," Sayoko suddenly realized that as long as he couldn't answer a question, the monster would probably kill him immediately. He cried out in fear, "I don't know, I really don't know."

Zi Ling glanced at him indifferently, "What else do you know?"

"I know of some news from the young Roc King. It's said that Stellar Kingdom and Beast Race have things that High Lord Phoenix Mountain desired, and that's why High Lord Phoenix Mountain would instigate such a battle. She's a good fisherman."

"What else?" Zi Ling stroked the fur on the Tiger's ears again.

"Also …" "And …" Free and Unrestrained was sweating profusely, trying to think of some secret news that would move him.

"It seems that you do not know of any other useful information."

"No, I still know a lot. As long as you give me time, I will tell you everything." He knelt on the ground and looked pleadingly at the purple silk.

Zi Ling looked down at him. If he hadn't led Little Roc King to the Divine Profound Gate, and if Joyful Union Sect's people didn't encircle him with their own deaths, he might not have come looking for trouble with them.

However, they were all courting death!

"There's no need!" After speaking indifferently, a water arrow shot out from Zi Ling's mouth and struck the unrestrained child in the forehead.

His eyes were still wide open, and the pleading in his eyes could still be seen clearly …

Glancing at the two corpses, Zi Ling stroked the head of the Arrow Tail Tiger, "Alright, let's go to the Sea of Goddess."

At this moment, a large group of people suddenly appeared in the distance.

Zi Ling narrowed her eyes. Upon closer inspection, it wasn't a group of people, but rather a group of beastmen chasing after a 'man' in a cloak.

Zi Ling calmly glanced at him and prepared to leave. However, at this moment, the cloaked man suddenly shouted, "I am a human, quickly save me."

In the blink of an eye, the cloaked man led the group of beastmen to the front of the purple silk. Even if she didn't want to save him, the moment the beastmen saw her, they had already spread their anger onto her.

She glared at the cloaked man in displeasure. The cloaked man's only exposed slender eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was smiling. It was like the blossoming of a peach, full of spring.

Zi Ling was slightly stunned. She knitted her brows and turned her gaze away. At the same time, he quickly jumped forward and flicked his fingers. One by one, the beastmen fell to the ground like bone tokens.

After dealing with the beastmen, Zi Ling didn't even look at the cloaked man. She directly jumped onto the back of the tiger and left …

The cloaked man stood where he was as he watched her figure gradually disappear into the distance. His slender eyes slightly narrowed as he let out a meaningful smile, "The person who made Duke Ming of the Infernal domain suffer was indeed not ordinary. Ye Ling, I believe we will meet again very soon!"

The figure of Zi Ling disappeared. The cloaked man also lightly lifted his cloak, completely covering himself as he headed in the opposite direction from Zi Ling.

After walking for another half a day, the Beast Race's territory had always been desolate and barren, and there were barren mounds everywhere. However, he never found the existence of the Goddess Sea.

Just as she was hesitating whether she should go in the wrong direction, the spiritual sense she released suddenly detected that there were a lot of beastmen ahead.

She ordered the Tailed Tiger to stop in its tracks. Looking ahead, this should be the territory of the beast race. She was alone right now, so she could not take the risk to continue forward.

He thought for a while and was about to make a decision when his consciousness suddenly quivered.

She rubbed her stinging brow. What is that?

She immediately withdrew her mind and held her breath as she focused on observing. There was a very eye-catching design on the heavily guarded altar outside the beast race headquarters.

She suddenly opened her eyes and stared straight ahead. The pattern was a scarlet vortex pattern she had seen at the bottom of the Celestial Dragon Pool.

After a moment of hesitation, she felt that she had to take a risk. If there were Spiritual Concentration Formation and Spiritual Pulse here, perhaps she could borrow their power to help raise her cultivation.

With such a goal in mind, she rode the tail of a tiger without hesitation and approached the beast tribe's territory.

Very quickly, she took advantage of the dark sky to arrive at the beast race gathering place.

The buildings of the Beast Race were all very rough. Other than the tents on the outskirts which were surrounded by fences, there were also short, stone-built buildings in the center. The doorway was arched, and occasionally a patrolling orc came out.

"Little Tiger, where are you going …?" Zi Ling pointed into the distance. Little Tiger opened up his claws in tacit understanding, and his massive figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.

She had to pass through the tents in order to reach the altar. After pausing for a moment, she finished plotting her route and saw a group of Beastmen walking towards her from afar. She quickly hid in the bushes near the wooden fence.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle …

The orcs moved to where they had been, groaning at each other, and then, with a final shake of their heads, headed for the arched door.

This was the time!

The purple silk quickly jumped out from the bushes and followed the beastmen. Soon, the orcs entered the arched door, and she ducked behind a tent.

Not long after, another group of Orcs patrolled over from their previous position.

Zi Ling tightly pressed the tent without moving. She was wondering why there were so many patrols in the Beast Race's territory when she heard a faint sound of conversation coming from the tent she was leaning against.

"Don't be in a hurry to kill him. Use him to attract all of that person's servants. This way, it will be easier for my master to catch them all." The human language used in the tent was not stiff at all.

"We couldn't kill him even if we wanted to. He was an extremely powerful healing specialist, and before his profound strength ran out, we couldn't do anything about him." At this moment, the voice was not very smooth and was a bit awkward.

While Zi Ling was eavesdropping, she was also observing the patrols. As for the conversation between the two, she wasn't too concerned about it. The main focus of attention was still figuring out how to safely reach the vicinity of the altar.

"By the way, are you sure Qi Hao really went into the forbidden area for beasts?" The smooth voice from before said.

Qi Hao? Hearing this familiar name, Zi Ling's eyelids unconsciously opened.

"That retainer has always been unwilling to speak, so we can't be certain. But don't worry, if he enters the beast race's forbidden area, he will definitely be trapped inside. He won't be able to escape."

"What I want is not to trap him, but to kill him!" The person speaking gritted his teeth, as if he had a deep grudge against Qi Hao.

Zi Ling raised her brows and thought to herself, 'Seeing how he's usually so pretentious, it seems like he has offended quite a number of people as well.'

"Sorry, the beast race's forbidden area isn't accessible just because we want to enter, we are powerless to help." The beastmen's attitude was extremely low, which made Zi Ling curious about the background of the people who were targeting Qi Hao in the tent.

Right … These two people seemed to have previously said that they would bring all of Qi Hao's subordinates here.

She bit her lip. This was really troublesome. How did she meet him?

Don't care? Thinking about Qi Hao's help and the three carts of ore … She slightly frowned, so saying that she owed him anything was fine, but she mustn't owe him anything.

However, at this moment, she wanted to know who the person inside the tent was. Thinking about that, she released her spiritual sense to explore the tent, but just at that time, a shout suddenly came from within the tent, "Who is it?"

This loud sound woke everyone up. Zi Ling didn't have enough time to check the man's face, so she took advantage of the gap between the two teams, sneaking into the arched door with a few flashes.

Without looking back, she weaved through the stone buildings, avoiding all the orcs.

After spending nearly half an hour like this, she finally explored the entirety of Stone City, but she didn't find any trace of Qi Hao.

Was it not here?

She quickly rejected this conclusion, as the conversation between the two clearly stated that Qi Hao's retainer was being held nearby.

She could not concentrate, so she had to find a quiet and safe place.

Her gaze shifted as she locked onto a stone tower in a remote location.

The purple silk quickly approached, but the two beastmen on the stone tower did not notice her presence. She quickly made her way to the stone tower and climbed the stone stairs to the back of the two orcs.

"Swish …" "Swish …"

After the two wind blades finished off the beastmen, Zi Ling sat down cross-legged and spread out her divine sense like a thin net.

To the west, no.

To the east, neither was there.

The entire Stone City had been alerted, and more and more Beastmen were searching for her.

South... She still did not move as she spread her spiritual sense to the south, calmly searching.

There!

Finally, on a search to the south, she found a basement, Qi Hao's servant called Longevity.

Zi Ling suddenly opened her eyes, and like a swallow, she nimbly and quickly disappeared from the stone tower.

When the patrolling beastmen saw the corpses on the stone tower, they locked onto the purple silk nearby and drew almost all of their troops here, allowing Zi Ling, who had already left the north side, to easily reach the entrance to the basement.
