Chapter 340: Chapter 292: Go Ahead and Self-Destruct, I’m Waiting!_2

Controlled, but not completely restrained.

“This bastard still has this kind of life-saving method, I was careless!”

Wushuan flew back, her delicate face full of rage, clutching a Divine Child in her hand, but it was only one-quarter of the Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s Divine Child.

Li Cheng frowned, “Why didn’t you use the Formation to kill him?”

With his own strengthened Formation, if Wushuan had been the main controller, they could have easily slain him.

Now, three-quarters had escaped, and it would take no more than several tens of thousands of years for the Withered Bone Demon Monarch to rise again.

“Are you suggesting I purposely let him go?” Wushuan’s anger intensified.

Kong Lianqing joined in, “Shouldn’t we be suspicious? It could have been an easy kill, but now he has fled.”

Wushuan crushed the one-quarter strength Divine Child casually and said coldly, “As I said, I was careless!”

Kong Lianqing did not back down, “I think you did it on purpose, because he was also a Demon-suppressing Envoy, and you didn’t dare to act!”

Fury surged through Wushuan, and with a thrust of her hand towards the ravine, thousands of the Demon Race perished instantly, her chest heaving, “You are also a Demon-suppressing Envoy, do you want to see if I dare to act?”

Li Cheng waved his hand to interrupt the women’s quarrel, “He’s escaped, let him be. It will take him at least fifty or sixty thousand years to recover, and after that time, to kill him we might not even need a Formation.”

“Besides, he destroyed Hidden Spirit Village long ago, it’s appropriate to leave him to Yin Yue.”

Li Cheng’s words calmed both women to some extent.

Li Cheng continued, “Right now, we should take advantage of the fact that these demons are poisoned…”

Before he could finish, the two women had already dashed off in different directions, beginning to reap those unfortunate demons! novelbuddy.cσ๓

With a palm strike from Wushuan, hundreds of demons fell.

Although Kong Lianqing was only at the Complete Heaven God State, her Cultivation couldn’t compare to Wushuan’s, she was by no means weaker, activating the Three Thousand Deadly Array, like a giant grinding wheel, she too began a large-scale harvest.

Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, alright, it’s better not to be greedy, just watching them kill was enough.

Before long, the entire ravine had been cleansed by the two women, not a single one of the tens of thousands of demons remained!

Wushuan was the first to fly back to Li Cheng’s side, looking unhappy, her gaze occasionally flicked towards Kong Lianqing.

Kong Lianqing also flew back, handing a Storage Ring to Li Cheng, “Our spoils of war should be shared equally; inside are more than ten thousand storage bags, yours.”

Saying this, Kong Lianqing shot a challenging glance at Wushuan.

Wushuan turned and looked at the corpses of the demons scattered all over the ground; she had been too busy killing to gather any spoils of war.

“These demons settled in a place like Savage Ridge, what good things could they have? Don’t waste time counting spoils, it’s better to return, submit our achievements, and get points,” said Wushuan.

Clearly, she was changing the subject because she didn’t collect any spoils.

Fearing that Kong Lianqing might clash with her again, Li Cheng quickly said, “Right, let’s go! Speaking of which, how many points can we get for these fifty or sixty thousand demons?”

“Killing demons in the Heaven God State earns five to ten points each, which all adds up to at least three hundred thousand,” Kong Lianqing said, looking towards Wushuan.

Wushuan snorted, “I won’t monopolize the points, we’ll share what I earned equally.”

Kong Lianqing also snorted coldly, “There’s no need, I killed over twenty thousand demons, I’ll just share evenly with Li Cheng, and you can keep yours!”

“Just picking up leftovers and still bragging about taking out twenty thousand? Really?”

“You’re the strong one, then why did you let the Withered Bone Demon Monarch escape?”

Li Cheng had a headache, the journey was quite long, were they really going to argue all the way back to the Demon-suppressing Department?

These two women, why couldn’t they see eye to eye with each other?

Clearing his throat, Li Cheng interjected, “I’m interested in the Vermillion Bird Essence and Blood from the Demon-suppressing Department, but it requires a hundred and eighty thousand points. I wanted to discuss with you girls, could each of you lend me ninety thousand?”

This time they had earned at least three hundred thousand points, he would take a hundred and eighty thousand, as if it were a loan.

“Don’t make it sound so bad by saying ‘loaned.’ You take two hundred thousand, and the rest will be shared between her and me,” Wushuan stated decidedly.

Kong Lianqing clearly had no objections and nodded, “I have no problem with that, you can have it all.”

Wushuan glanced at Kong Lianqing, “Then just give it all to Li Cheng.”

“Don’t, a hundred and eighty thousand and I already owe a huge favor, I only need a hundred and eighty thousand, I don’t want any more,” Li Cheng said.

Both women looked at Li Cheng simultaneously, no longer discussing the matter.

Points were very important to Demon-suppressing Envoys. Not only were they needed for promotion, but they could also be exchanged for scarce resources at the Demon-suppressing Department—resources that were difficult to obtain outside. So, how could Li Cheng agree to take them all?

That would be far too unscrupulous.

“It’s up to you. The Demon-suppressing Department has only one drop of Vermillion Bird Essence and Blood, which probably isn’t enough for you. I’ll ask around when we get back,” Wushuang said.

Kong Lianqing also said, “You could ask the Demon-suppressing Department or the Kongqian Commerce Association to issue a task to find Vermillion Bird Essence and Blood. I’ll help you post it when we return.”

Li Cheng nodded slightly and was about to thank them when he suddenly felt something was off. Had these two women gone from one-upping each other to outright competing?

And they were competing over him, no less, which didn’t sit right, as it seemed as though he was taking advantage of them.

“You previously used the White Tiger Seal and the Azure Dragon Seal, so now you’re looking for Vermillion Bird Essence and Blood to cultivate the Vermillion Seal, right? Is there also a Xuanwu Seal?” Wushuang asked.

Li Cheng nodded, “Exactly!”

Wushuang pondered, “Xuanwu Essence Blood… I seem to have heard about it somewhere. I’ll look it up when we get back.”

Kong Lianqing glanced at Wushuang, then turned to Li Cheng, “I have a friend who possesses it. I’ll think of a way to get it for you after we return.”

Li Cheng maintained a calm expression, but his mind was in a muddle. At this rate, were these two women going to compete to the heavens?

After a brief pause, Li Cheng changed the subject, “How many Demon-suppressing Envoys do we have in the Demon-suppressing Department?”

Both women shook their heads, Wushuang said, “The existence of Demon-suppressing Envoys is a secret, known only to the chief. But I guess, the Kongqian Heaven Dynasty must have at least two to three hundred!”

Kong Lianqing looked at Wushuang with a hint of triumph in her eyes, “Not that many, less than two hundred.”

“Nonsense. With a territory as vast as the Kongqian Heaven Dynasty, there must be more than two hundred Demon-suppressing Envoys.” Wushuang naturally didn’t agree with Kong Lianqing.

Li Cheng coughed, “I was just asking out of curiosity, not really that interested. I thought there’d be tens of thousands of Demon-suppressing Envoys; didn’t expect so few.”

Both women looked taken aback, tens of thousands? What was Li Cheng thinking?

Perhaps in the women’s view, the question seemed a bit dull, but the silver lining was that it brought silence to the atmosphere. The spat and competition stopped, and the three could finally focus on traveling.

The next day, the trio returned to the Demon-suppressing Department.

Looking at the Demon-suppressing Department, Li Cheng finally felt relieved!

Back at last, soon to part ways, so he need not mediate between the two women any longer.

In the Affairs Hall, both women placed their Demon Suppression Orders on the counter, Wushuang said, “Killed some of the Demon Race, for your troubles!”

Behind the counter, the elder bowed respectfully and with a wave of his hand, a ray of light appeared on the Demon Suppression Order.

The elder took out a bead from the counter and placed it onto the Demon Suppression Order to check it, then smiled, “Impressive, three hundred and sixty-six thousand points. It’s been many years since we’ve seen such a large one-time gain. May I ask how the three of you would like to divide it?”

“He gets one hundred and eighty thousand, we’ll split the rest,” Wushuang said dispassionately.

Nearly half for one person?

The elder looked at Li Cheng with surprise, observing his handsome face and tall stature, as if he understood something!

“Hmm, exchange one hundred and eighty thousand points directly for Vermillion Bird Essence and Blood,” Li Cheng said.

If he didn’t speak up, this old man might have thought he was living off his looks!

The elder withdrew his gaze, nodding, “With one hundred and eighty thousand points, sir, you can be promoted to a two-star Demon-suppressing Envoy, but you need to complete a promotion task. Would you like to draw one now?”

“We’ll talk about that later!”

Now that he could get the Vermillion Bird Essence and Blood, naturally he would first cultivate the Vermillion Seal. Moreover, what was even more important was investigating the Blunt Empty Residence—where would he find the time to take on a task?

“Very well, sir, please wait a moment!” The elder immediately sent a message and procured the Vermillion Bird Essence and Blood.

“Another matter, there’s a problem with the promotion task I took on. It would be great if you could help me check it out,” Wushuang said.

She had accepted the task of slaying the Withered Bone Demon Monarch, but that character was also a Demon-suppressing Envoy, and besides, Li Cheng had said to leave the Withered Bone Demon Monarch to Yin Yue. Naturally, she needed to change her mission.

“Slay the Withered Bone Demon Monarch, but isn’t the Withered Bone Demon Monarch already dead? Or…”

“The Withered Bone Demon Monarch is a Demon-suppressing Envoy. He hid his identity to issue this task, and perhaps by coincidence, it ended up in the promotion tasks,” Wushuang interrupted the elder.

Huh?

The elder’s eyes widened before he quickly said, “This is of great importance. I’ll immediately inform the chief to verify this!”
