I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1125

"Uh, brother, wait for me!" Shen Zhixia bit into the chicken leg as she hurried after him, and before leaving, she didn't forget to stuff two pig trotters in her pocket.

"Sect Master Ji, how did you and your dear disciple rest last night? Are you comfortable with the accommodations?" Huo Wuya turned to the pair sitting beside him and asked.

Bang—

The cup in Ling Ningzhi's hand fell onto the table, a flicker of panic crossed her eyes. She wondered if her master had noticed last night's absurdities.

Ji Hongxiu's ears were also faintly heated, worried that her disciple might find out that the person pressing her down last night was actually herself...

"What's the matter? Didn't sleep well?" Huo Wuya mistook their silence for dissatisfaction with the hospitality, thinking he had neglected his distinguished guests.

"Not bad."

"Pretty, pretty comfortable!"

The two exchanged a glance and then sheepishly looked away.

Ji Hongxiu cleared her throat and changed the subject, "Cough cough, besides, you've even taken out the maps, you really are pulling out all the stops... It seems you're determined to bring Chen Mo into your fold?"

Huo Wuya nodded and bluntly said, "Chen Mo's talent is extraordinarily unparalleled! I'm afraid I won't have the chance to break free in this lifetime, but if a disciple from my sect achieves the Great Dao, and sees the scenery beyond the sky for me, it would not be a wasted life!"

The Purple Refining Extreme Root Bone is excellent as well, future achievements shouldn't surpass him, but that's all there is to it.

To take that final step, talent, effort, and luck are indispensable, and Chen Mo is one of the two he thinks might break the confinement.

As for the other one...

He's still in the Imperial Palace, scheming and trying to grab hold of national fate!

"I know Chen Mo practices Daoist and Martial Dual Cultivation, if the Daoist Venerable has the same thought, we can definitely join forces!" Huo Wuya said enthusiastically, "If you guide him in Daoist Skill, and I focus on Martial Arts, his growth will undoubtedly be astonishing!"

Huo Wuya valued Chen Mo not only to achieve his unfulfilled goal but also harbored a small intention.

Now that the Demon Clan has retreated to the Northern Territory, afraid to show themselves, and the Barbarian Tribe is barely surviving under Chu Yanli's suppression, the turbulent situation in Great Yuan is gradually stabilizing.

After dealing with external threats, it's time to address internal worries.

The recent initiative by the Imperial College to have sect disciples study in the capital shows the trend; the court has set its sights on various sects, with the Three Saint Sect being the first target.

Although he is the Ultimate Venerable safeguarding the sect, the court wouldn't dare act rashly.

However, an Ultimate Venerable doesn't guarantee immortality, and when he passes, who'll be able to withstand Great Yuan's tens of thousands of iron cavalry?

Chen Mo's identity is quite unique, not only is he Shen Zhixia's fiancé but also a hot figure in court. If he could form a mentor-student relationship, it would provide the sect with a backup route.

"Disciple?"

Ji Hongxiu was momentarily silent.

She indeed had this thought before, but the current situation is different.

The two of them are already married in reality; if he joins the sect, wouldn't that be openly defying the mentor-student relationship?

Picturing Chen Mo calling her master while vigorously stirring the pot, it made her heart tremble. This wasn't just about violating ethics anymore; it was completely disregarding order and defying humanity!

"Forget it, I won't get involved." Ji Hongxiu shook her head, "But there's something I must remind you, Yu Youhan has a deep connection with Chen Mo, if you get too close to him, be careful of that female demon's watchful eyes."

Huo Wuya's expression turned serious, and he nodded, "Thank you, Sect Master Ji, for the warning. I understand."

The atmosphere was quiet for a moment.

Ji Hongxiu thought of something, asking, "By the way, what did you mean when you mentioned the Asking Sword Pond earlier?"

Huo Wuya's lips curled slightly into a smile, "That's the sword trial ground at Martial Saint Mountain, where the sect's thousand-year Sword Intent resides. Soaking in the pool for half a day equals years of arduous cultivation, impossible for any Martial Cultivator to resist such allure!"

Since he wanted to accept a disciple, it couldn't just be by empty words, he had to show the foundation.

Ji Hongxiu frowned, "Isn't there a risk?"

"No." Huo Wuya waved his hand, "If you can't handle it, you can leave immediately. Besides, Jiang Zhiyun is accompanying him, no accidents can happen..."

Boom—

Just as he finished speaking, a loud rumble was heard.

Faintly, a loud dragon roar came from the direction of Luoxing Peak!

"What's going on?" Huo Wuya's expression tensed.

Moments later, Chai Haochuan rushed into the dining hall, gasping, "It's not, not good, Sect Master, Chen Wukui has drained the Asking Sword Pond!"

???

Everyone present froze in disbelief.

"What the heck?"
