The Demonic World I designed-Chapter 644 - 634: Waiting for Chen Qing’s Purpose...

"Yunji survived..."

Zi Yue closed her eyes, sensing the aura around her. As the being with the highest divine status in their circle of power, second only to Chen Qing, she too could vaguely sense the fall of higher deities.

The distant energy fluctuations had ceased, but Murong Yunji showed no signs of perishing, indicating she had escaped disaster!

"Has Chen Qing arrived?" Ali’s eyes lit up beside her.

"It seems so..." Zi Yue smiled faintly. Besides that kid showing up, she couldn’t think of any other reason why Murong Yunji would have survived.

The reason for her happiness was that, after all, Chen Qing had made a move. The guy had always appeared quite rational, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be quite impulsive at this moment, daring enough to make a move to save...

"Should we go find him?" Ali perked up.

"I’m afraid he has already been found..." Zi Yue shook her head. "You’ve seen what that group is capable of. Chen Qing couldn’t have been missed by them."

"So what do we do?" Ali frowned and glanced at Zi Yue’s arm. Red spots were starting to appear on Zi Yue’s arm. These past few days, she had been avoiding getting too close to herself. Zi Yue did not have the same speed as Murong Yunji, and if she could not hold on when the time came...

"We can only wait." Zi Yue looked at her own arm. "The lord above must have been poisoned as well. With the number of people in this city succumbing to the poison increasing, it’s only a matter of time before the strain becomes unbearable. Murong Yunji today has set a very bad precedent, serving as a catalyst to this chaos, causing rationality to collapse even faster. They don’t have much time left."

"Then... Chen Qing won’t be in any trouble, right?" Ali couldn’t help but ask.

"Better worry about yourself more..." Zi Yue rolled her eyes. "If things really get chaotic, someone like you is most likely to die first."

Ali: "....."

"Don’t act rashly for now, and be cautious about that place." Zi Yue looked towards the location of the central palace hall. "I remember, King Xiang in the King Xiang Palace can see all the invading players. Chen Qing’s arrival surely hasn’t escaped their notice either. I can only hide one person. If you move, it’ll cause trouble."

Ali bit her lip, unsure of what to say.

A sense of powerlessness surged within her once more.

Many people thought she was very capable, but her abilities didn’t seem to work well during intense conflicts.

If she were not around, Zi Yue would be able to protect herself.

Her Stellar Concealment ability could completely erase a person’s existence, as long as they did not move drastically. By distorting light, Stellar Concealment could shield any perception.

This was also why, out of everyone, she was the only one who wasn’t poisoned.

She had been protected by Stellar Concealment ever since they entered Northern Wolf City.

"I can try to slowly follow you..."

"That’s too dangerous..." Zi Yue shook her head. "An outbreak could occur outside at any moment. Once chaos ensues, your position would be revealed. Trust me, in your current state, you’re in high demand. That’s if you don’t wish to fall into the hands of the Emperor of the Siao Family again."

At the mention of that Emperor, Ali immediately fell silent.

He was a terrifying person, and even after her memory restored and meeting the so-called ancient characters, she wasn’t sure they could be more terrifying than the Siao family’s Emperor. That man... despite his deep hatred for her, still managed to use her coldly. She couldn’t understand why the Black Empress would dare to employ such a terrifying person...

Sure enough... that man died without surprise...

She had a feeling that what that man was planning to do was going to be very frightening, far beyond anyone’s expectations.

---------------------------------------

"We have at most three days..."

In the depths of the garden, Chen Qing came upon the second Ming Lantern. This lantern was a deeper color, and even seemed to be of a higher level than the one that engulfed the entire King Xiang Palace outside the Royal Palace.

Chen Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. If he wasn’t mistaken, this must be a Black Lotus Lantern fueled by the Wusheng Black Lotus, otherwise it wouldn’t have such a world-isolating effect.

"King Xiang can see all movements within King Xiang Palace, so we only have one chance..." Wang Shiyu said calmly, standing next to the dark Ming Lantern. "The Black Lotus Flame doesn’t last for long. Once it spreads throughout King Xiang Palace, it can only maintain for half an hour."

"Half an hour?" Chen Qing looked at the Black Lotus Lantern and spoke quietly: "It can only last for half an hour because it’s been burning for so long, right? If you had acted a few days earlier, wouldn’t this lantern have been able to last longer? So... why the delay in acting? You’re not waiting specifically for me, are you?"

"We were indeed waiting just for you." Wang Shiyu smiled.

"Oh?" Chen Qing also smiled. "I’m just a newcomer. Do I really have that much value?"

"Of course there are..." Wang Shiyu chuckled, "When I was in the Capital, I personally saw that the Black Empress, even with so many Ghost Temples under her control, couldn’t keep you there. You should be, already nearing King Level standards, right?"

As he said this, everyone turned to look at Chen Qing.

The woman who had just spoken showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.

A newcomer, how long has it been since the Earth Spirit revived?

And he’s already approaching King Level standards?

So, the Divine Pathway is really that miraculous.

It seems that our guild must certainly obtain this method!

"Didn’t the Black Empress, who was also approaching King Level standards, get killed?"

"She’s different..." Wang Shiyu shook his head: "She was overconfident and unguarded, plus it was King Xiang and a member of the Siao Family who attacked simultaneously, managing to kill her with great difficulty."

"Is that so?" Chen Qing smiled, "A core member of her guild like her should have all sorts of life-saving items, right? She didn’t even get a chance to use them before she died. And you’re telling me she was barely killed?"

"Haha..." The other party laughed, "It’s not the same, King Xiang used Extraordinary Power, which cannot be traced, so when he rebelled, the Black Empress had no choice but to focus all her attention on King Xiang, never once considering that the one behind her would actually make a move."

"Didn’t Spirit Ghost make a move?" Chen Qing was somewhat curious, thinking that if the Emperor had made even a momentary move, the Spirit Ghost should have detected it.

"Did not make a move..."

Chen Qing: "....."

"Strange, isn’t it?" Wang Shiyu’s eyes brimmed with cold light as he spoke in a low voice, "As if Spirit Ghost was raised by them..."

"That is strange." Chen Qing frowned, "If he can avoid being targeted by Spirit Ghost, why wouldn’t he just come and kill you directly?"

You make a move and you get devoured, someone else does and nothing happens, isn’t this an overwhelmingly advantageous situation, with no need for consideration?

"But he did not make a move..." Wang Shiyu said coldly, "Therefore, his situation must be conditional; he has found... a loophole in Spirit Ghost."

"A loophole in Spirit Ghost..." Chen Qing frowned, Spirit Ghost... what kind of loophole could it have?

There’s definitely no issue in terms of programming; if you’re talking about a loophole, it could only be a conflict with previous programming...

"King Xiang?" Leveraging his familiarity with demons, Chen Qing pinpointed the key issue at once!

"It’s not hard to converse with a smart person." Wang Shiyu smiled, "We’ve been racking our brains for days and finally found a possibility; it’s King Xiang, King Xiang was born with heterochromia and possesses the authority of a sage. As a ghostly embryo since birth, he carries the aura of a Ghost Saint. One of his innate abilities is that any Ghost Spirit stared at by his twin eyes will be deterred by that overwhelming aura, which is one of the reasons he could subdue those fierce Evil Spirits on the Path of Yin and Yang."

"Although Spirit Ghost is a program designed to clean up bugs, its essence is of Ghost Spirit nature, and it’s not impossible for it to be intimidated by King Xiang!"

"Inside King Xiang Palace, there’s energy left behind by King Xiang himself. If he finds the right moment, within this Royal Palace, King Xiang can maintain the level of power akin to a true Ghost King for a very short time. Using King Level power directly could cause irreparable damage to his body, but if it’s just showing his aura, that’s a different story."

"That’s possible..." Chen Qing nodded, agreeing with the other’s analysis.

"That’s also why he didn’t use the same method against us," the woman next to him said coldly. "We have numbers on our side, and in a critical moment, we could scatter and run. Even if King Xiang is just demonstrating his aura, it must be a significant strain, and he couldn’t pursue many of us at once. That’s why he didn’t continue to take action against us. But even if he doesn’t make a move, as long as he can keep track of our whereabouts, he can continuously instruct Mother Poison outside the city to poison us, causing our slow death!"

"I see..." Chen Qing nodded, now fully understanding all the reasons.

"So..." Chen Qing turned to Wang Shiyu, "Facing such a deadlock, what do you plan to do to break it? And why does it have to be me you wait for? Don’t say it’s because my strength is worth waiting for; setting aside the fact that with some items, your strength is not less than King Level, how could you be sure I would come?"

If I had stayed in the data layer for a few more days, would these guys keep waiting to death for me?

Everyone looking at Chen Qing had a strange light in their eyes; this newcomer knew quite a lot and was smarter than they had expected.

"We had no choice, we were holding out as much as possible for you to come over, if King of Qin didn’t care about the lives of his subordinates, by the day after tomorrow at most, we would have risked our lives for a fight."

"You’re telling the truth this time," Chen Qing smiled, "So, what’s so valuable about me, Chen, that you were so eager to wait?"

"King of Qin... you can control Ghost Doll, right?"

Chen Qing: "....."
