I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 411

Chapter 411: Chapter 172: Turning the tide, both secured! Empress: Jiang Yuchan, did you sleep with Chen Mo?

Prince Yu Mansion.

Inside the study, the bookshelf slid to the sides, revealing a complex array etched into the wall. A faint blue glow flashed, and the wall rippled like a water curtain.

Chu Heng stepped out slowly from the secret chamber, his hands stained with dark red blood, his eyes bloodshot, making his face look even paler.

"Your Highness."

The old steward waiting outside handed over a handkerchief.

Chu Heng took it, wiped his hands, and asked, "Is there any movement from Ling Yishan?"

The old steward shook his head and said, "Just the same as before, reclusive and uninterested in worldly affairs, even after Ling Ningzhi was attacked, there was no reaction. It seems he knows he doesn’t have much time left and won’t act easily."

Chu Heng’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he said, "What’s the deal with that You Ji? Being a Grandmaster, could she have just vanished without a trace?"

The old steward replied, "We haven’t found her yet. Liuyun Inn has replaced its leading performer; perhaps she met an ill fate."

Chu Heng looked serious, sitting on a chair, his fingers tapping the armrest.

"The Demon Clan’s repeated failures show they’re not reliable. We must find our own way."

"As long as we obtain the Eightfold Exorcism Array map, along with the remaining Red Sand I have, we might stand a chance..."

To obtain the array map, Ling Yishan must first be eliminated.

Even with his grave injuries, he’s still one of the strongest in Jiu Zhou, not easily shaken.

I had hoped to use Ling Ningzhi as a breakthrough, yet not only did I fail, but also lost an Immortal Material... finding such a chance again will be tough.

"Has there been any movement from Chen Mo lately?" Chu Heng asked.

The old steward said, "This is the second thing I must report to Your Highness: the Fire Department Thousand Households, Bai Lingchuan, is dead."

?!

Hearing this, Chu Heng’s expression froze, frowning, "That old fellow had little time left, but not so soon. What happened?"

"According to news from the palace, Bai Lingchuan, to extend his life, colluded with the Seventh Heavenly Demon to plot against Chen Mo, but was instead refined by the Blood Demon..." the old steward succinctly explained.

"Seventh Heavenly Demon?!"

A trace of astonishment flashed in Chu Heng’s eyes.

He had naturally heard of the "Blood Demon," who wreaked havoc in the Southern Border for decades, killing countless, with unfathomable strength.

Unexpectedly, Bai Lingchuan, an Imperial Official, would conspire with such a fiend!

"When did those two form a grudge with Chen Mo?" Chu Heng was puzzled, but then a delighted smile spread across his face, "In a way, it saves us some effort."

Chen Mo had repeatedly thwarted his plans and had even physically confronted him in the Imperial Music Bureau, making their conflict irreconcilable.

He was looking for an opportunity to eliminate this stumbling block but didn’t expect someone else to be more eager!

This is probably the only good news I’ve heard lately!

Seeing Chu Heng’s excitement, the old steward shook his head and continued, "Ahem, Chen Mo is not dead and returned to the capital yesterday. He even dined and stayed at the palace... as for the Blood Demon, he is already dead."

"..."

Chu Heng’s smile froze on his face.
