I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 1007 - 374: The Empress Can’t Hold It In! Hand-to-Hand Combat at the Daoist Temple! (Part 3)

Staring at the pitch-black, profound hall, Little Butterfly felt inexplicably nervous, trying hard to calm her emotions, she lifted her leg and walked inside.

Chen Mo looked down at this scene from above, his mind slightly moving.

He took out the bone mask from the storage ring and wore it on his face, concealing his aura before quietly landing on the rooftop.

Pressing his palm against the tiles, he activated his soul power, slowly seeping it through the gaps.

To avoid alerting the other party, he kept a certain distance and did not actively probe.

Vaguely, he could see a tall, thin figure in wide clothing sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat facing the statue, speaking in a hoarse, piercing voice: "Has the person who planted the Gu poison been investigated?"

"According to the waiter at Pear Cloud Hall, there were indeed two unfamiliar faces that day, spending handsomely, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall their specific appearance," Little Butterfly replied.

"Could it be Hua Yinglan staging this herself?" Daoist Xuanzhen said in a deep voice: "She was present at the incident, such coincidence seems unlikely?"

Little Butterfly shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be possible, even if the madam had this idea, she wouldn't target Ming Yuchun."

"Heh, that's not certain..." Xuanzhen sneered, "Continue monitoring Hua Yinglan, that woman is sly and cannot be trusted completely."

"Yes." Little Butterfly nodded in response.

Xuanzhen's chest rose and fell, exhaling a turbid breath, "Anyway, the other's objective has been achieved, the court will surely act next, enduring in silence for so long yet exposed because of a mere play..."

Now the city is in an uproar, and the situation is still continuing to ferment.

The opposing party targeted not only the Gu God Sect but also putting the State Mansion in jeopardy, this matter must be explained to the court and the populace.

"Though the move seems simple once revealed, implementing it isn't easy." Xuanzhen played with the Jade Ruyi in his hand, his eyes flashing with brilliance, "Knowing my sect's movements well, and having a thorough understanding of the Gu poison worm, clearly came prepared, could it be that person..."

"Which person?" Little Butterfly asked curiously.

Xuanzhen thought of something, his eyes growing more sinister.

Suddenly, his expression froze, and he asked aloud: "Were you followed when you came?"

Little Butterfly was slightly taken aback, saying: "I wandered around the city for a quarter of an hour, erasing all traces, can't be possibly followed..."

"Then why is there a smell of a stranger?"

Xuanzhen moved his nose and looked towards the incense burner in front of the statue, only to see a thread of bluish smoke spiraling upwards, hovering unpredictably above the ceiling.

With a sudden lift of his head, he smirked ferociously at the corner of his mouth, "So that's where you're hiding!"

Bang——

Xuanzhen raised his hand, releasing a palm strike, the boundless Qi force burst forth, the air compressed, issuing a sharp explosion, directly lifting the entire hall's canopy!

Debris splattered, flying in all directions, amidst the swirling dust, an upright figure stood in mid-air, face indistinct, coldly snorted: "Hah, dog's nose is quite keen..."

Chen Mo's heart was also somewhat surprised at the moment.

He had concealed his aura to the utmost, also with the Concealing Ring's enhancement, even Grandmasters of the same realm should have been unaware, how did this Taoist discover it?

"Searching high and low with iron shoes, finding it all so effortlessly! Just when about to search for you, unexpectedly you came right to me?"

"Then leave your life behind!"

Xuanzhen flipped upwards, his wide sleeves swept, gathering the scattered tiles together, forming a massive giant hammer.

With a heavy step, the ground tiles cracked, his entire body like a shooting star crashed towards Chen Mo!

Woo——

Raising the giant hammer, it came down with the force of a thousand catties, smashing directly!

"Die!"

In contrast, Chen Mo remained calm, neither dodging nor evading, actually meeting the strike head-on with his flesh!

Boom!

The giant hammer shattered inch by inch, yet he remained utterly unmoved, unscathed.

Raising his hand to dust off his shoulder, he said calmly: "Just this amount of strength? Did the Daoist not have dinner?"

"Good!"

Xuanzhen's expression grew increasingly excited, simply discarding the remaining half of the hammer handle, rushing forwards barehanded.

Bang bang bang bang——

The sound of flesh clashing was as dense as drumbeats.

Their movements were as fast as lightning, so quick that the naked eye couldn't capture them, only seeing two tangled blurry shadows.

Little Butterfly stood afar, unable to intervene as the whistling gale stung her skin.

"Did this person follow me?"

"That would mean the madam has been exposed... Not good!"

Little Butterfly's heart tightened, turning to run towards the door.

Chen Mo caught a glimpse of this scene but did not stop her, just an insignificant pawn, the real catch was evidently Xuanzhen in front.

"Good! Hahaha, good strength!"

Xuanzhen's eyes bloomed with blood streaks, his face flushed, extremely excited!

Within his slim body resided terrifying power, like a vast river flowing endlessly!

"This guy..."

Chen Mo's heart slightly sank.

Though he was probing, using only a part of his physical strength, without any Divine Skills.

Yet even so, the opponent contended evenly with him, possessing at least the strength of a Third Grade Martial Artist!

Especially as his fist struck the opponent's body with a "thump thump," feeling like knocking on drum skin, dispersing the impact, hard to cause deadly harm.

"Bronze skin and jade muscles, membranes like reeds, Gu God Sect even has a Horizontal Training Master?"

"An external enemy has invaded!"

"Alert! Quick alert!"

The enormous noise they made alerted the Taoists within the temple, who rushed towards the inner hall with torches raised.

Chen Mo's thoughts spun rapidly, based on prior experience, even forcibly capturing this Daoist Xuanzhen might not lead to Yin Tiankou's whereabouts,

If they were to collect the net, it had to be done in one sweep, not time yet.

Boom!

Chen Mo kicked Xuanzhen in the chest, sending him flying hundreds of meters away, saying in a chilling voice: "Neither of us can defeat the other, let's call it a day... The lord has a message for you, if you can't replenish the 'herbs' within three days, bear the consequences!"

Hearing this, Xuanzhen's face changed abruptly, "You are..."

"Remember, only three days, I'll be back then." With that, Chen Mo swiftly vanished.

Watching the receding silhouette, Xuanzhen's brows furrowed deeply.

"If sent by the lord, why not just knock? Why eavesdrop from the rooftop?"

"And when did Bailu City get such a Martial Arts expert?"

"Strange..."
