C16 The Chaos of the Fight

Meng Qianhun seemed to have forgotten about giving the antidote. Qu Lingjing was extremely anxious, and could only bring it up again: "Empress, we can talk about other things another day. Right now, the situation of my two subordinates is not looking good. Could you please give them the medicine first and cure them of their poison?"

Meng Qianhun suddenly had a grieving look on her face. "Saint Lord, I can't help but feel sad when I think of my dead wife. It will take me a long time to recover."

Only then did Qu Lingjing realize that Meng Qianhun clearly did not want to bestow the medicine on him, and deliberately criticized him. She must still be holding a grudge for not joining hands with him to deal with the Immortal Sect, and she would probably even blame the death of the blood marten on him.

If it wasn't for the antidote, Qu Lingjing would have left a long time ago. Now that he needed something from her, he had no choice but to endure it and deal with her.

"I deeply feel the Great Empress' heartache. I wonder how I can help the Great Empress?"

Meng Qianhun pretended to cover her face and said, "If the Saint Lord can help Qianhun retrieve the cormorant's corpse, letting Qianhun bring it back to be buried would be one of Qianhun's worries, and it would comfort my painful heart."

In the end, she wanted Qu Lingjing to snatch the corpse of the blood marten from Sheng Xueyin. She was afraid that she would not be able to defeat Sheng Xueyin, so she traded the antidote for it.

Devil Clan? Qu Lingjing really did not want to fight Sheng Xueyin. Firstly, Sheng Xueyin had done him a favor. Secondly, Sheng Xueyin had exhausted his spiritual energy in order to set up a formation to get rid of the devil. If he were to fight now, he would be taking advantage of Sheng Xueyin. Thirdly, Qu Lingjing admired Sheng Xueyin's character and did not discriminate against the Devil Clan. Even if he did not discriminate against the Devil Clan, his attack had left a stain on his reputation. In the future...

In the future, no matter how open-minded Sheng Xueyin was, he would never have a good impression of a Devil Lord. He did not care about Lin Qing because of Lin Qing's friendship for his junior disciple nephew. Furthermore, Lin Qing was just a small fry who would not participate in the activities that would harm the Immortal Sect and bring disaster to the world. However, it was different for Devil Lord Qu Lingjing. He had been causing trouble for Immortals for a long time, and he also had a notorious reputation for being lecherous. A while ago, he had even captured disciples of the Immortal Sect as his harem. Qu Lingjing had already been stained by Sheng Xueyin, so how could he save him? It was better for Lin Qing to hug the male lead's thigh.

Qu Lingjing thought it through and was ready to give up. He agreed to Meng Qianhun's request without hesitation and rushed out of the palace to the arena.

The power of the Ten Thousand Demons Subduing Array was indeed powerful. In such a short period of time, almost all of the demonic barriers of Twin Jade City had been eliminated. The ground was littered with people who had been eroded by the demonic barriers and had yet to awaken. At first glance, it looked like a sea of corpses.

The man was still sitting in the center of the ring, his face unchanged, but his weariness betrayed the fact that he was exhausted.

Qu Lingjing sighed: No matter how powerful he was, he was still just a high-level cultivator. Before becoming a god, there was always a limit to his physical body. How could he withstand this kind of work? His senior brothers were really patient. They said that they wouldn't help him, but they really didn't. Was it because they were too confident in their little junior brother, or was it because they were all stone-hearted?

Qu Lingjing deliberately waited for the Ten Thousand Demons Subduing Array to end so that Sheng Xueyin would not be distracted. Just as he was thinking of sneaking over, stealing the corpse of the blood marten and running away, although he was a little cowardly, it was the method with the least casualties. Suddenly, he felt a demonic aura not far behind him. Qu Lingjing immediately understood that Meng Qianhun was sending people to follow him.

Meng Qianhun really cared about her wren. She was looking for an opportunity to plot against Sheng Xueyin as well.

Someone was staring at Qu Ling and could not possibly say, "I came to get the lynx and then left. I don't want to fight." Such words were inevitable.

Although Sheng Xueyin was physically weak, his senses were still sharp. Qu Lingjing could feel it the moment he approached. However, although the Devil Lord in front of him had a burst of demonic Qi, he could not feel any thick killing intent. A cultivator like Sheng Xueyin, who had broken through to the Body-Splitting Realm, was quite sensitive to the characteristics of the other party's demonic Qi and his understanding of killing intent. Sheng Xueyin sensed that this Devil Lord Qu Lingjing did not seem to have any intention of killing him. He raised his eyes to meet a face covered by a halfmask.

This was the first time that Qu Lingjing had used a large amount of the demonic Qi in his body, causing the surrounding ordinary creatures to be affected by the demonic Qi and not dare to approach him easily. Of course, this included the people from the Devil Clan who followed Qu Lingjing here. After the large amount of demonic Qi surged, slender wooden branches swam towards Sheng Xueyin like spirit snakes and were about to wrap around his body. Sheng Xueyin's body flew away from Qu Lingjing like a leaf. The moment he stabilized his body, he took out the Will Sword again.

Perhaps it was because he had used up too much of his mind's spiritual energy earlier, but this wave of Will Sword attacks was easily blocked by Qu Lingjing's wooden branches and vines. He quickly unleashed an even more powerful attack. The towering ancient trees surrounded Sheng Xueyin in a circle of towering trees, trapping him inside and taking away the blood marten.

Just as Qu Lingjing turned around and climbed towards the flagpole that hung the blood marten, a familiar aura suddenly appeared. Qu Lingjing turned his head around and saw a black figure shining with a palm wind filled with demonic qi attacking the ancient wood array where Sheng Xueyin was.

It was Han Wuduan! Qu Lingjing was most familiar with Han Wuduan's ghost-like ability. His devil Qi was useful against ordinary Devil Clan, but it was useless against someone like him, who was at the level of Devil Lord. It was obvious that he had received news from Meng Qianhun and came to kill Sheng Xueyin together.

Qu Lingjing didn't have time to think too much. He waved his hand and removed the ancient wooden array. Fortunately, Sheng Xueyin reacted fast enough to dodge Han Wuduan's attack.

Han Wuduan, who had a plain face, followed closely behind. He did not plan to let go of such a good opportunity.

"Why did Lord Qu stop me from dealing with the people from the Immortal Sect? Could it be that Lord Qu wants to curry favor with the Immortal Sect?"

Qu Lingjing rushed forward to block Han Wuduan's demonic palm wind, while pretending to attack Sheng Xueyin with a few superficial wood attacks.

"Sage Han's words are wrong. This Immortal Sage is my opponent, how can you steal my limelight? Are you looking down on me?"

"We're all on the same boat, why would Sage Qu care so much?"

"I am the most calculative about face. If I tell others that I can't even deal with a cultivator who has used up all his spiritual qi and need your help, where would I put my face in the future?"

Qu Lingjing had to deal with Han Wuduan while secretly protecting Sheng Xueyin. At the same time, he also had to pretend to attack Sheng Xueyin and avoid the attacks from both sides. After fighting for a period of time, he was even more tired than he was tired. He wondered what kind of sin he had committed. To survive in the crevice of the conflict between the immortal and devil sects as a member of the Seamless Gate, this was not an ordinary death-seeking act.

He threw out a few moves, but they were all blocked by Qu Lingjing intentionally or unintentionally. Han Wuduan lost his patience, and a thick black smoke rose up, covering his body. His figure suddenly became one with the smoke...
