Chapter 186: Chapter 184 The True Face of the Demon Queen

Ning Daoran focused his mind and used the Wood Escape Technique to stay motionless within the plants.

The words of the White Sheep Demon Queen could genuinely mean that she had already discovered him, or it might simply be a ploy to trick him; it was yet to be known.

A moment later,

Languidly shifting her slender, snow-white legs on the vine chair, the White Sheep Demon Queen’s legs crossed in a manner that added to her allure. She swept her beautiful eyes around her surroundings, and her breath was as fragrant as orchids.

“Fellow Daoist, won’t you really come out to meet me? I have long awaited you here, and with such an act, aren’t you afraid of chilling my heart?”

Indeed, she was indeed tricking Ning Daoran.

She didn’t actually know when Ning Daoran would arrive, or even if he was already here.

With such words, it was clear that the White Sheep Demon King was prepared.

Ning Daoran took a deep breath, frantically operated the Unmoving Ming King Divine Technique to reduce his presence to the lowest.

At the same time, under the cover of the Unmoving Ming King Divine Technique, a sliver of Divine Sense spread out discreetly, bypassing the White Sheep Demon Queen, to investigate everything nearby.

Indeed, within the dense woods and vines surrounding the palace, the White Sheep Demon Queen had set up five prohibitions. The Mana fluctuations from these prohibitions were intense, and they could trap someone at the Golden Core Stage in no time.

‘This cunning and deceitful old demoness…’

He cursed inwardly; if he impulsively rushed out, it was highly likely he would be suppressed by the five prohibitions, and then under the spells of the Golden Core Late Stage White Sheep Demon King, he would probably die on the spot.

…

“Hmm~~~”

On the vine chair, the White Sheep Demon Queen lay lazily, her enchanting and seductive body vaguely visible under the thin veil, and she chuckled, “How should I address my fellow Daoist? Should I call you Fellow Daoist Jianjia?”

Ning Daoran frowned.

Indeed, there were no walls that could block all winds around the Five Saints Sect area. Despite his utmost concealment, the White Sheep Demon Queen had caught some rumors and already knew that he was the legendary Independent Practitioner Jianjia.

“Fellow Daoist Jianjia.”

The White Sheep Demon Queen’s jade legs spread out, and she gently placed a grape into her mouth, laughing, “I heard that decades ago you ventured into the Cave Mansion of the Shadow Wolf King, and nearly burned that wolf demon to death with Wood Poison Fire?”

She laughed so hard that her chest heaved, “I almost died laughing when I first heard about it. Fellow Daoist, you really are interesting, to have played with that cunning Shadow Wolf King between your palms.

Such an interesting person, if he were to stay and play with me, I wonder how delightful that would be~~~”

Ning Daoran frowned.

He ignored the White Sheep Demon Queen’s seductive demeanor; such demon kings had killed countless Great Cultivators relying on their charm, and he did not intend to become the next.

As for the saying, “Under the peony flower, even death is romantic,” it was nonsense. Only men who said such things were mostly worthless.

“Swoosh swoosh—”

Suddenly, two Class A Paperfolk leaped out from the trees, one an old man with a weathered face and the other a mature woman still full of charm, each brandishing the Flame Sun Skill and the Evergreen Technique at the White Sheep Demon Queen.

“Can’t hold yourself back anymore?”

The charming smile on the White Sheep Demon Queen’s face vanished, replaced by a fierce look. Her body twirled and she rose from the vine chair; her fingers spread, “Puff puff puff,” vines shot out like poisonous snakes toward the two Class A Paperfolk!

This demoness was innately of the Wood Attribute, and she trained in wood-attribute spells.

But her spells vastly differed from the Evergreen Technique, which was oriented toward healing and calming the mental state. The White Sheep Demon Queen’s wood-attribute sorcery, however, was geared toward offense. Streams of vine arrows, filled with Wood Poison, were nothing trivial.

“Demoness! Taste my power!”

In the air, the weathered old man conjured a staff-shaped magic artifact, wildly thrusting it in mid-air.

“Monster, witness the spell and divine skills of this mistress!”

The mature woman soared, presenting a handkerchief.

These two paperfolk possessed over forty percent of Ning Daoran’s strength, their Mana profound; their combat strength was comparable to the Early Golden Core Stage, naturally, they could contend with the White Sheep Demon Queen for a while.

However, after a few rounds, both were suppressed in their techniques.

Streams of vine arrows containing Wood Poison shuttled through, “Puff puff puff,” leaving wounds on the bodies of the old man and the beautiful woman, and their Mana began draining away.

In the distance, among the vines.

Ning Daoran lightly waved his hand, dispersing two more Class A Paperfolk and dozens of Second-class Paperfolk, attacking from all directions.

“Hmph!”

In the wind, the White Sheep Demon King, in her fluttering green skirt revealing snow-white legs, her willow-leaf eyebrows lightly raised: “To have so many tricks, no wonder you made the Four Saints suffer great losses!

But if Fellow Daoist Jianjia truly considers me on par with the Four Saints, that is greatly underestimating someone!”

Saying so, she pinched a spell, her body erupting in Wood Attribute Demon Power!

“Puff puff puff—”

Suddenly, from somewhere, sharp wooden stakes surged out, each stake containing immense Wood Attribute killing power. In just a blink, over a dozen Second-class Paperfolk were shattered into pieces by the assault of the wooden stakes.

‘Damn…’

Ning Daoran frowned, alarmed after witnessing the White Sheep Demon Queen’s innate divine skills.

The assault of these sudden wooden stakes reminded him of the classic arcade game of Journey to the West he played as a child, where the Dragon Horse’s innate divine ability, Wooden Stake, was very similar to this sorcery and divine skill of the White Sheep Demon Queen.

Only, the Wood Stakes of the White Sheep Demon Queen were far more agile, not only could they turn, but their lethality was extremely formidable!

“Oh?”

Gazing at the fluttering scraps of paper in the wind, the White Sheep Demon Queen couldn’t help but narrow her eyes and smile, “So, it’s a Paper Substitute? In my nearly thousand years traversing the Jianghu, I’ve seen plenty of Substitute Spells and Yin Puppet Paperfolk.

Yet I have never encountered such a lifelike and vivid method as yours, Fellow Daoist. Even I could hardly detect any flaws.”

Ning Daoran had no intention of engaging in conversation.

The speech of the White Sheep Demon Queen was merely an attempt to discover his real position—how could he let her succeed?

Thus, as Paperfolk dispersed, Ning Daoran remained still, shifting his position every few breaths using the Wood Escape Technique to prevent being discovered by his adversary.

For a time, countless Paperfolk covered the sky, constantly draining the Demon Queen’s mana.

“Fellow Daoist Jianjia, are you trying to delay time?”

The White Sheep Demon Queen’s lips curled into a highly bewitching smile, “Could it be that Fellow Daoist doesn’t know that my Cave Mansion is built on a Fourth-tier Lower Grade Spirit Vein?

This Spirit Vein has already been partially refined by me, and as long as I stand here, I can draw upon an endless supply of mana. I’m afraid your calculations might be missing the mark.”

Ning Daoran’s eyebrows furrowed tightly.

He had indeed inquired about the news of Feng Valley previously; this place was originally the territory of the Beast Taming Sect, which boasted the ownership of a Fourth-tier Lower Grade Spirit Vein and claimed to be the number one Sect in Qingzhou hundreds of years ago.

Later, the five Demon Kings moved southward, obliterated the Beast Taming Sect in one fell swoop, and this invaluable Spirit Vein naturally fell into the hands of the White Sheep Demon Queen.

However, Ning Daoran wasn’t worried. He wasn’t delaying time to drain the Demon Queen’s mana, but to distract her.

In doing so, the more than ten thousand Fire Devouring Ants underground could quietly devour the roots of the five powerful prohibitions she had set up in advance!

The White Sheep Demon Queen was incomparable to the other four great Demon Kings. To execute this demon, Ning Daoran had gone to great lengths, ensuring there were no slip-ups.

…

Not long after.

Nearly half of the Paper Substitutes had been exhausted, and indeed, as the White Sheep Demon Queen had said, her mana still remained above eighty percent and wasn’t much affected.

At that moment, the Divine Sense that Ning Daoran had secretly spread underground captured that the roots of the five prohibitions had all been damaged by the Fire Devouring Ants. Although they still retained the mana imprint and fluctuations, the central spiritual patterns had been devoured, rendering them unable to activate.

A high-level Array Master and the Fire Devouring Ants, ranked top ten on the Ten Thousand Insects List, were indeed the nemesis of arrays and prohibitions!

“Fellow Daoist Jianjia, won’t you show yourself now?”

The White Sheep Demon Queen gently raised her hand, gruesomely ripping the skull along with the spine from the body of a Second-class Paperfolk, a truly horrific sight.

As she discarded the head, those images finally vanished along with the mana, turning it into a Paperfolk torn in half.

“Shasha…”

Ning Daoran, carrying the Azure Dragon Spear, slowly emerged from a vine.

“Fellow Daoist, you have finally decided to meet.”

The White Sheep Demon Queen narrowed her beautiful eyes and smiled, “Your visage… is so handsome; even after a thousand years of cultivation, I can’t help but be moved.”

Even then, the White Sheep Demon Queen was still employing the Demon Clan’s Bewitching Technique, intending to eradicate Ning Daoran without a fight.

“Swish!”

With a light pat on his Storage Bag, Ning Daoran suddenly released several Array Flags and Array Plates, transforming into streaks of electricity flying in all directions. With several spells cast into the air, he quickly set up two arrays!

Sea Ice Array + Five Elements Wander Array—it was actually a Stacked Formation!

“Oh?”

The White Sheep Demon Queen slightly raised her willow-leaf eyebrow and smiled, “Fellow Daoist turns out to be an Array Master, which was unexpected. But you can’t possibly think that only you wield array formations and prohibitions, can you?”

With that, the White Sheep Demon Queen also cast several spells toward the ground.

However, the underground was dead silent, and there was no response.

“How can this be?”

The composure and calmness of the White Sheep Demon Queen vanished instantly, her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed, and her gaze became fierce, “You… what have you done to my prohibitions?”

“Merely a few Third-tier Prohibitions, and you dare to show your shame?”

Ning Daoran instantly activated the Stacked Formation and scattered another bunch of Paperfolk, stating solemnly, “White Sheep, you have dominated Qingzhou for hundreds of years, obliterated so many Sects, and killed numerous Cultivators. It’s time to return it all to the Human Clan!”

“You wish!”

The White Sheep Demon Queen’s expression turned fierce, surging with deep blue Wood Attribute Magic Power. She waved her hands and summoned countless wooden stakes and poison vines from all around, attacking with fierce aggression.

Ning Daoran activated the Wind Riding Leisurely Technique, ignited a Third-tier Lower Grade Divine Speed Talisman in his hand, and his speed surged instantly. His body twisted like a loach through the poison vines, and when unavoidable, he swung the Azure Dragon Spear to disperse them.

Meanwhile, the Sea Ice Array and the Five Elements Wander Array roared into action, and myriad array killings blasted toward the White Sheep Demon Queen.

“Independent Practitioner Jianjia!”

The White Sheep Demon Queen, face fierce, declared, “I will refine your skin into a human skin lantern, process your bones into a Magic Artifact, turn your skull into a lampshade, twist your soul into a wick, and ensure you suffer day and night, never to rise again!”

A chill ran through Ning Daoran’s heart.

The utmost cruelty of a woman’s heart—was this her true face? He had almost been deceived by her earlier!
