I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 892 - 333: The Empress’s Remote Synchronization! The Empress’s Jealousy Is About to Explode! (Part 2)
Chen Mo curiously asked, "Then how do you know that I'm with Yu Hongyin?"
"The image of you saving people in the southern suburbs was recorded by court officials, and coincidentally, the Princess was also present…" Ling Ningzhi explained the general situation.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo slightly raised an eyebrow. He hadn't deliberately concealed his identity when taking action and anticipated being recognized, but didn't expect it to be recorded by court officials.
"Then what about the Image Stone?"
"It should have already been sent to the Eastern Royal Palace and reported to Her Majesty the Empress."
"..."
"What is it?"
Seeing Chen Mo's stiff expression, Ling Ningzhi asked.
"Nothing…" Chen Mo shook his head, secretly thinking he should have worn a mask.
"Speaking of which, the method you used was truly amazing, like clouds and rain, could it be that you've already broken through to Heavenly Master?" Ling Ningzhi inquired.
"That's right."
Chen Mo opened his palm, and a purple-gold Tai Chi Diagram floated above it.
Feeling the mysterious aura, Ling Ningzhi was momentarily stunned.
"This is…"
Chen Mo said, "Although it was a bit dangerous, there was also opportunity, with the Great Dao Law merging with the Divine Soul, I have now reached the Third Grade Divine Unity."
Ling Ningzhi was silent for a long time.
Even though she was mentally prepared, she couldn't help but be shocked.
Unexpectedly, Chen Mo not only broke through to Third Grade but also skipped "Body Unity" and entered the "Divine and Dao Unity" realm.
When she first met Chen Mo, he was just a Fifth Grade Martial Artist, and unknowingly, he had left her far behind…
"The law you comprehended seems to be more than one?" Ling Ningzhi recovered and asked in confusion, "I also feel a familiar taste, somewhat similar to Master?"
"It's a coincidence, when Daoist Venerable killed the Demon Lord's incarnation, he also helped me enter the Dao Domain, thus I was tainted with a trace of the Law of Cause and Effect…" Chen Mo concisely said.
"And then?" Ling Ningzhi pressed further, "Didn't you do anything else together?"
"Of course not." Chen Mo answered solemnly, "Daoist Venerable helped me with the Dao, I helped him suppress the cost, that's all."
"Is that so?"
Ling Ningzhi scrutinized him, looking doubtful.
Back in the Chen Mansion, she had seen her Master's persistent behavior with her own eyes, and Chen Mo's self-control wasn't exactly strong, so it's hard to say what might have happened.
Chen Mo didn't intend on deceiving her, but now wasn't the right time to reveal everything; it might cause a fallout between the master and disciple, which would be a big problem…
His hand brushed over her slender waist, sliding up her smooth, full curves, and he smiled mischievously, "I smell something sour. Would the Daoist even envy her own Master?"
The tingling sensation made Ling Ningzhi shiver, and she blushed, "This Daoist is just being cautious to prevent any real trouble from happening and regretting it too late… Wait, wait…"
"Wait for what?"
"Yu Hongyin touched it, this Daoist finds it dirty, let me wash up first…"
Ling Ningzhi pinched a spell, and mist in the air surged, gathering into streams of water, repeatedly washing away.
Only after the reflection shone did she stop.
"You should get better results in cultivation now that you're harmonized with the Dao, right?"
"Since when did the Daoist become so pragmatic?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
"I just don't want to be left too far behind by you…"
"Alright, are you ready to comprehend the Great Dao?"
"Hmm? What Great Dao… mm…"
"Hate it, you really are bad… Forget it, let's postpone the cultivation talk…"
The twilight gradually sank below the horizon, the evening breeze stirred the curtains, entwined whispers, and uncontrollable emotions mingling with the wind.
However, Chen Mo forgot that the red ling had evolved to the second stage, and also forgot that the Law of Cause and Effect within him would resonate with the Tianshu Pavilion Heart Method, and that the Erosion Light Hourglass couldn't completely shield it…
...
...
Frozen Sky Palace.
In the inner hall, Yu Youhan reclined on the Consort's Seat, her phoenix eyes observing the woman before her.
The originally delicate oval face had become more gaunt, fatigue evident in her eyebrows, and the purple long dress no longer pristine, giving a travel-worn appearance.
"How goes the task I entrusted to you?" Yu Youhan asked indifferently.
Ye Zi'e knelt on the ground and responded solemnly, "I was ordered to hunt down the remnants of the Gu God Sect. In this southern expedition, I killed one hundred and seventy-two members of the Gu God Sect, thirteen stewards, and five protectors."
"In addition, I found traces of the Gu Body Sect Hierarch Yin Tiankou."
"Yin Tiankou's physical body is destroyed, but his Divine Soul has not perished. It clings to cult members and wanders about seeking a way to reconstruct his body."
"I tracked him all the way to the depths of the Southern Border. Since there were Grandmaster Realm elders protecting him, I dared not act rashly and returned to the capital to report. Please provide further instructions, Empress!"
Instructions?
A subtle awkwardness flashed in Yu Youhan's eyes.
In truth, she didn't care about the Gu God Sect; at its peak, it could be crushed with ease, and now, with just a few remaining, what havoc could they wreak lurking in shadows?
Back when Ye Zi'e drugged Chen Mo, only for Ling Ningzhi to intercept and cause her to suffer alongside.
If not for her loyal service over the years, she would have been slapped dead long ago. Sending her to the Southern Border was merely a slight punishment.
Unexpectedly, Ye Zi'e treated it as a serious matter, spending several months away, leaving all the Government duties burdened on Yun He, always with a look of resentment…
