Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 579 She is Already Here

The Northern Border, a land of the Demon Race, was far from unified. Many powerful demons there wouldn't adhere to etiquette, let alone heed the so-called Emperor Clan of the Qin Family.

Even though the Qin Family boasted an invincible contemporary.

But a Demon Emperor was a Demon Emperor, and the Qin Family was the Qin Family—the two could not be conflated.

Even Crimson Mulberry, a disciple of the Demon Emperor, couldn't command them; at most, she could only persuade them.

She was well aware of this.

Of course, should the Demon Emperor revive, the demons of this vast land would have no choice but to obey…

Beneath the bright moonlight, Crimson Mulberry, clad in red garments, danced like a mysterious sprite across the desolate, ruin-like landscape.

All around, emptiness loomed, her solitary figure appearing particularly striking.

She was employing a secret technique, attempting to glimpse the Heavenly Fortune Tao.

But the next moment, dark clouds amassed in the Heaven Domain above, obscuring the moon. Layers of thunderclouds relentlessly rolled, unleashing a deafening roar.

In just an instant, before Crimson Mulberry could react, a thick bolt of lightning struck her directly.

Her dancing form suddenly stiffened. Her face turned pale, her hair became disheveled, and her beautiful clothes were torn to shreds by the lightning. Smoke billowed from all seven of her orifices.

It took her a while to regain consciousness, her face ashen.

Then, Qin Quan's voice, dripping with mockery, came from behind her. "Although the Human Clan is not as strong as the Demon Race and lacks an invincible contemporary, humans are, after all, the only race on this land truly attuned to the Three Thousand Great Tao. Your disdain was bound to invite disaster."

He threw back at her the very words with which she had scorned him earlier that day.

Crimson Mulberry wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, offering no rebuttal. Her enchanting, demonic eyes were fixated on the Human Clan's border.

The secret technique she cultivated wasn't the true Heavenly Fortune Tao, thus allowing her to evade many karmic entanglements.

Her ability to infiltrate the Human Clan's Ancient City hundreds of times, pass three checkpoints, and still depart at her leisure, was largely due to this secret technique.

But now, when she activated the secret technique, she found herself unable to peer into the Human Clan's territory.

This is abnormal. Far too abnormal.

The Demon Emperor had not yet revived, and the powerhouses of the three great races were still gathering, which would take some time.

Yet, the strangeness at the Human Clan's border had piqued Crimson Mulberry's curiosity immensely, especially concerning... that young girl named Zi Ji.

Her cultivation was very peculiar, completely undetectable.

Crimson Mulberry squinted, a faint smile playing on her lips. With a wave of her hand, she changed into a new set of clothes, and her messy hair was instantly restored to order, swaying in the breeze.

She flicked her willow-leaf eyebrows, sizing up Qin Quan from the corner of her eye, and said nonchalantly, "You want to seize this opportunity to achieve merit, but... as long as my Master, the Demon Emperor, has not revived, you are doomed to fail. And if my Master Demon Emperor *does* revive, you will have even less of a chance. You must harbor some resentment, mustn't you?"

Qin Quan's face was grim.

"I understand the intentions of those old fogeys in the Qin Family better than you. Unfortunately for you... I am the Demon Emperor's sole disciple. No matter what trouble I stir up, the Qin Family wouldn't dare to do anything significant to me. As for you..." Her lips twitched. "With such diluted Bloodline Power, regardless of how high your cultivation realm or how great your accomplishments, you are fated only to be abandoned."

The Demon Race differed from the Human Clan.

The Demon Race placed immense emphasis on Bloodline Power.

The higher the concentration, even if one's cultivation realm was low, one could still gain the clan's attention. Conversely, if the concentration was too low, even a high cultivation realm wouldn't prevent one from being ruthlessly marginalized.

Qin Quan was a living example.

A pitiable person, indeed.

As for why he had come here, aside from wanting to achieve merit, monitor, and target Crimson Mulberry, perhaps he still believed he had a chance for salvation.

Crimson Mulberry ignored the grim-faced man and walked lightly toward the Human Clan's border.

She had made up her mind.

She would infiltrate the Human Clan's border once more and assassinate Zi Ji.

Her battle-hardened instincts made it easy; in just a few hours, she found a lone Human Clan cultivator, devoured him, and then transformed into his likeness.

Excellent! Everything is prepared.

She swaggered towards the Human Clan's territory. From a distance, she saw the towering Thousand Cities Sword. Her lips curled upwards involuntarily, contempt filling her heart. A mere sword, how could it stop my Demon Race?

Before long, she entered the third checkpoint, Thousand Cities.

But she felt something was off.

It was too quiet.

There wasn't a single sound; it was eerily silent, as if she had stepped into an eternal world.

After a few minutes, she pinpointed the source of the strangeness.

A group of Alliance powerhouses, stationed here as guards, were all gathered in a small courtyard.

In the courtyard, Jiang Ni'er and Zi Ji sat cross-legged facing each other. Lao Huang lay sprawled nearby, eyes half-closed. Earth Chicken and Eight Treasures Chicken were also completely still, not making a sound.

Mao Qiu had already fallen asleep.

The two women were discussing their "plan."

The group of Alliance powerhouses had gathered out of curiosity; with nothing better to do, they figured it wouldn't hurt to listen in.

"First, we'll set some traps—arrays, restrictive enchantments, seals, and the like. Then, you'll lure Crimson Mulberry here so we can kill her," Jiang Ni'er said softly.

That simple? Is this the plan? The Alliance powerhouses present couldn't hide their disappointment.

Because Zi Ji had easily slain a clone of Crimson Mulberry during the day, they had all assumed the two women were hiding their true capabilities.

They surely possessed genuine abilities.

But what they were hearing now…

Yet Zi Ji listened very attentively. "Mhm!"

Crimson Mulberry, who had covertly infiltrated the area, couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Just this?

"And then?" young Feng asked.

Jiang Ni'er looked up, glanced at him, and said flatly, "There is no 'and then.'"

Feng was speechless.

Just then, a middle-aged woman interjected, "Do you even have an Array Master?"

Jiang Ni'er remained silent. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

"That Crimson Mulberry's cultivation is bizarre. She's cunning and extremely vigilant. We've set traps before, deploying several powerful arrays, but she evaded them all."

"That's right…" another added.

"Luring her here is nearly impossible unless she sneaks in herself. But... Crimson Mulberry is no fool!" others chimed in, refuting the idea.

Mo Wuwei and the other Saint Realm cultivators from the Wuji Sect also felt doubtful.

They were now almost certain that Crimson Mulberry held a very high status within the Demon Race's territory in the Northern Border.

And she was the supreme commander of this gathering of the three races.

If they could eliminate her, it would undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to the assembled Demon Race army.

But therein lay the problem: Crimson Mulberry was no ordinary Demon Race powerhouse. With her bizarre cultivation and high vigilance, she wouldn't fall for a trap easily.

What difference is there between the plan Jiang Ni'er described and utter nonsense? The Alliance powerhouses felt like laughing.

Crimson Mulberry, who had already sneaked in, was indeed laughing to herself.

Jiang Ni'er's lips curved slightly. "This time is different."

Someone retorted, "How is it different?"

Jiang Ni'er replied earnestly, "She will definitely come."

"You're very confident."

"No... it's not confidence, but the fundamental nature of curiosity," Jiang Ni'er said. "She is intensely curious about Zi Ji. Therefore, she will definitely come."

What the hell?!

A sudden, ominous premonition struck Crimson Mulberry.

Before the crowd could respond, Jiang Ni'er continued, "Moreover, she has already arrived."
