This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 867 - 672: Preparation Is Still Necessary (2)

Liang Yi looked at the fiery red array plate being hammered, muttering to himself.

"What's being made there is one of the main bodies of the array plate, and the array itself is being set up by Complete Heaven Sect, Senluo Wanxiang Sect, and the Immortal Dynasty together. Once the array plate is successfully forged, it will be engraved into the array plate," Chen Hua nodded and explained.

"It's a pity that forging this thing is extremely difficult, and gathering the materials is as hard as reaching the sky. Excluding the two sets that failed in previous experiments, there's only this last set left. If it weren't like this, we could just send abnormal people directly to activate the transmission array plate, and it wouldn't be so troublesome."

"Is Old Master Ju involved in this as well?"

Liang Yi suddenly petted Old Master Ju, looking at him sleeping soundly, and suddenly asked.

Chen Hua glanced at the somewhat weak Old Master Ju and explained helplessly: "Because this transmission array needs to cross a world, many array runes applicable to the Mystical Mechanism Continent's rules can't be used, so they need someone familiar with the Abyss Continent's rules to help Fang Zhi and the others continuously adjust."

"No wonder Old Master Ju has been looking so listless, I guess he's really exhausted..."

Su Youyi's eyes flashed with a trace of guilt. She didn't know that Old Master Ju, unbeknownst to them, had done these things. Yet, even in his weakened state, Old Master Ju still didn't refuse to help her train her sword intent, which couldn't help but move her.

"But that's a story for another time. For now, we have to proceed with the second step. Without knowing the situation on the other side, we can't enter the Abyss Continent, let alone occupy a place to move around temporarily there."

Chen Hua no longer paid attention to the hot and heavy forging work being done by the Refining Sect's elderly group, turning around and leaving with Liang Yi and Su Youyi.

Liang Yi took one last look and turned to leave with his junior sister. They couldn't help with anything here; their task was to do what they should do and help the plan progress steadily.

After leaving the Refining Sect, in less than half an incense stick's time, Chen Hua led them back near the Abyss Battle City, where they could see the Abyss Gate towering to the skies from afar.

Liang Yi's eyes held some reminiscence; the scene of sneaking over last time was still vivid in his mind. Unexpectedly, this time they stood here openly.

"I've already notified the others; someone will bring the items over later." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"What items?" Liang Yi was somewhat puzzled.

"This mission is so dangerous; we can't let you go without any preparation, right? We must ensure you come back alive, no matter what."

Chen Hua gave Liang Yi a strange look, wondering what this kid was thinking, hoping he didn't really think they would let him rush in alone with his eyes closed?

"Oh, oh, right."

Liang Yi slapped his forehead, realizing he indeed forgot about this in his careless oversight.

"Senior brother, take this sword intent."

Su Youyi suddenly spoke up, pulling Liang Yi's right hand over and placing a Sword Jade in his palm.

"This is..."

Liang Yi was stunned for a moment; he could feel the intense sword intent within the Sword Jade. If released, the destructive power would be incredibly terrifying!

"I've sealed several sword intents focused on slaying within, hoping you can use them, senior brother."

Su Youyi held her senior brother's hand, her eyes filled with affection like trickling spring water, yet in the depths, there was a trace of barely noticeable worry.

The reason she tirelessly honed her sword intent day and night was to continually close the gap between herself and her senior brother. When she saw her senior brother's strength surpassing hers bit by bit, apart from happiness, there was a bit of discontentment. And now, when she realized she was catching up to her senior brother bit by bit, she felt an urgent desire.

An urgent desire to be able to help her senior brother! She wanted to stand by his side, facing all difficulties, rather than hiding under his protection.

"Haha, I'll use it without hesitation."

Liang Yi patted Su Youyi's head, smiling broadly as he accepted the Sword Jade.

And at that moment, a streak of flowing light came speeding from Abyss Battle City, revealing its true form as it approached Liang Yi and the others.

"Eh? Yu Wei?"

Liang Yi looked somewhat surprised at the newcomer, not because Yu Wei's appearance was shocking, but because the guy seemed almost like a different person compared to before.

Su Youyi also curiously examined Yu Wei from top to bottom, almost unable to believe that he seemed vastly different from the Yu Wei in her memory.

Standing before Liang Yi and the others, Yu Wei had a moderate build — not exactly slim but certainly fit — a stark contrast to his previously uniform width and length physique.

"Is this what you call 'lost a bit of weight'?"

Liang Yi widened his eyes in surprise, recalling Feng Yuyou mentioning that Yu Wei seemed to have slimmed down a bit.

But this is too drastic of a change, isn't it?

"Hehe, maybe it's because I've advanced my realm?"

Yu Wei scratched his head somewhat bashfully, openly facing the gazes of Liang Yi and Su Youyi.

The now slimmer Yu Wei had an honest and straightforward appearance, his long hair tied up, wearing a gold-threaded robe. Though not exactly handsome, compared to before, the change was so significant that Liang Yi even wondered, "Was this guy always this good-looking?"
