I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1177

The Vermilion Bird's expression was somewhat stiff as she spoke in a low voice, "Master, are you serious?"

Zhu Wujiang frowned and said, "Nonsense, could this possibly be fake? You and I went to great lengths to enter the Secret Realm, all for Chen Mo, didn't we? It's a perfect time since Yu Youhan isn't here. Once we leave the Secret Realm, we won't have such a good opportunity..."

Knowing that Chen Mo planned to explore the Secret Realm, they arrived in Qing Province early to prepare.

Due to their special identities, they couldn't appear openly; they needed a "substitute."

This substitute had to be chosen with care, needing to have a certain connection with Chen Mo to justifiably stay by his side, without being too familiar to avoid arousing suspicion.

After careful consideration, Zhu Wujiang chose the daughter of the Prefect of Qingzhou.

She had already investigated Chen Mo's network in detail and knew he shared a life-and-death bond with Yu Hongyin. She could use this relationship to establish a connection with him.

Now that Yu Hongyin had also been dispatched, it was the perfect opportunity to "take action!"

"So what does Master plan to do?" the Vermilion Bird inquired.

Zhu Wujiang stroked her chin, pondering, "Although Chen Mo is lustful, he's not an indiscriminate lecher, and his mind is quite keen. Making a rash move would only raise his suspicions; we need to take things slowly..."

After a brief deliberation, she had a plan in mind.

"First, deal with these corpses, erase all traces, and take care not to use any Demon Energy, so he won't notice," Zhu Wujiang ordered.

"Yes," the Vermilion Bird nodded in agreement.

Zhu Wujiang looked at the two figures clashing in the distance, her brow tightly knitted, her gaze flickering.

The sword Chen Mo wielded felt familiar to her, almost as if it was connected to her by blood...

"Could it be related to Mother?"

"Never mind, now's not the time for such thoughts, better to focus on the task at hand. This place feels strange, shouldn't linger too long..."

...

...

Swish—

The sword edge fell lightly, the air stirring with ripples, as if an invisible power was cutting through the void.

Wanqi Kai's hackles rose, his pupils shrank to pinpoints!

His intuition as a First Grade Martial Cultivator told him that this strike absolutely could not be taken head-on!

In a flash, he bit his tongue hard, his cheeks flushed with blood, and exhaled forcefully:

"Take this!"

His arm muscles knotted, veins bulging, he lifted the massive Prison Monument above his head and hurled it at Chen Mo!

However, the moment it left his hand, the stone monument shrank rapidly, becoming only palm-sized, landing in Chen Mo's hand, causing no harm but buying Wanqi Kai some time to buffer.

The earth beneath his feet surged with a yellow light, continuously gathering, as if armor covering his body.

By this time, the invisible sword light had arrived, slashing directly at his abdomen. However, he was unharmed, yet the ground inexplicably disappeared, creating a dark fissure nearly a hundred yards long!
