Chapter 308: Chapter 277: The Withered Bone Demon Monarch’s Clone?_i

The dark pill spun in front of Li Cheng and Kong Lianqing before coining to a steady stop.

Kong Lianqing frowned, then sighed, “Li Cheng, you eat it!”

Li Cheng looked at Kong Lianqing with some surprise, this was a matter of life and death, and she was giving him the chance just like that?

“Don’t overthink it, I will use the Divine Wall Technique, and after you detoxify, you take me to the imperial city, where naturally someone will save me,” Kong Lianqing added.

So that was it!

The method wasn’t bad indeed, but it also showed that Kong Lianqing could fully trust him; otherwise, even if she used the Divine Wall Technique, if he didn’t take her, she would die sooner or later.

Li Cheng pondered, was his charm really that great? To be trusted by this beauty after only two encounters?

“What are you dazed for? Eat it quickly, I’m going to use the Divine Wall Technique now,” Kong Lianqing urged.

Li Cheng picked up the pill, examined it in his hand for a moment, then opened Kong Lianqing’s mouth with his left hand and placed the pill inside with his right.

Kong Lianqing was stunned, “Are you crazy? If I eat it, what about you? You use the Divine Wall Technique? I can’t guarantee that I can find someone to save you.”

Li Cheng shook his head, “You saved my disciple, and I already owe you a life. If

I eat this antidote, wouldn’t I owe you another?”

She had a Divine Pill that could have saved her, but she gave it to Yin Yue to take.

Saving Yin Yue, since Li Cheng was her teacher, he naturally considered this debt to be his own.

At least that’s how Li Cheng saw it.

“I can owe favors, but owing a life keeps me awake at night, let alone two,” Li Cheng joked.

Kong Lianqing looked at the pale-faced Li Cheng, “Have you already forgotten that you saved my life? Me saving your disciple at most makes us even.”

“How much longer can you hold on? If you’re not going to make it, use the Divine Wall Technique quickly; once we reach the imperial city, I’ll do my best to find someone to save you,” Kong Lianqing said again.

Li Cheng shook his head and sighed, “The Divine Wall Technique, I don’t know it! It’s definitely too late to learn it now.”

Kong Lianqing’s pupils shrank, and anger surged onto her ashen face, turning her expression as cold as ice, “You…”

For a moment, she didn’t know whether to scold Li Cheng or not; if he had listened to her, everyone would be safe.

“It’s fine, Miss Kong, don’t worry,” Li Cheng said with a smile.

Kong Lianqing sighed, the coldness on her face receded, and she resumed her aloof demeanor, then glanced at Yin Yue, “I will take care of your disciple, but do you have any unfulfilled wishes?”

Surprise flickered through Li Cheng’s eyes; he had said not to worry, yet she was asking him to relay his last words?

Maybe he hadn’t explained himself clearly.

“Can you smile?” Li Cheng asked offhand.

Kong Lianqing was silent, then took a deep breath, looking seriously at Li Cheng, her face gradually breaking into a smile.

That smile seemed to make heaven and earth lose their color, leaving only her impeccably beautiful face.

After maintaining it for a few seconds, Kong Lianqing returned to her cool self, “The entire village is dead, I will sooner or later make these demons accompany them in death, rest assured!”

Li Cheng quickly shook his head, “Miss Kong, maybe I wasn’t clear, I’m really fine, truly no need to worry!”

Hm?

Kong Lianqing scrutinized Li Cheng, “The Decaying Bone Demon Poison absorbs Divine Soul and Divine Power to grow stronger, you mean to say it can’t harm you?”

At this moment, the Decaying Bone Demon Poison was still within Li Cheng, but it wasn’t growing; instead, it was being slowly refined by the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture, becoming less and less.

Li Cheng nodded, looking towards the fallen Yin Qingshan, he said with a sigh, “In a few hours I should be able to clear it, it’s a pity though, the poison acted too fast, I couldn’t help the village chief in time.”

Yin Qingshan did not practice a cultivation technique like Li Cheng’s, so the Decaying Bone Demon Poison grew rapidly within him, consuming his Divine Power and Divine Soul, and Li Cheng could not stop it in time.

“Who is the Withered Bone Demon Monarch?” Li Cheng asked, a murderous intent crossing his eyes.

“He is a demon from the Demon Race who is adept with poisons. It’s said that although he’s only at the Divine Monarch Realm, he once poisoned a Divine King to death with his toxins.”

Seeming to worry that Li Cheng was unaware of the Demon Race, Kong Lianqing added, “The Divine Realm is the ultimate destination of every realm, home to countless races which include some that are extremely bloodthirsty or practice exceedingly brutal cultivation methods.”

“The Demon Race is different from demon cultivators; demon cultivators simply cultivate with Demonic Qi, while most demons increase their strength by devouring others, truly embodying the evil path.”

While in the Ancient Ruins of the Five Elements Elf Tribe in the Kunlun Realm, Li Cheng had encountered the Demon Race. Those demons had been dealt with by Grand Venerable Bai Jie and were not considered evil cultivators. Since the revival of the Kunlun Realm, they disappeared; perhaps some powerful being eradicated them, as the strongest among that group of demons was merely a Golden Immortal.

Li Cheng looked at the body of Wang Ping, wondering how this fellow managed to get the poison of the Withered Bone Demon Monarch, a being at the Divine Monarch level, while Wang Ping had just entered the Divine Pill Stage.

Unfortunately, Wang Ping was dead, and the information was lost.

“So you mean to say, within the borders of the Kongqian Heaven Dynasty there are quite a few demons?” Li Cheng asked.

Kong Lianqing nodded, “Not just demons; to be precise, all kinds of evil cultivators. The Kongqian Heaven Dynasty established the Demon-suppressing Department, specifically to deal with these evil cultivators, forcing them to hide in the shadows, but they still occasionally cause trouble.”

“Are you with the Demon-suppressing Department?” Li Cheng continued.

Kong Lianqing nodded, “Fighting evil cultivators is a duty I cannot shirk, so I joined the Demon-suppressing Department. You will join too, won’t you?” Li Cheng did not respond; he knew nothing of this supposed Demon­suppressing Department, and he did not like the idea of being restricted, so he probably wouldn’t join.

Seemingly guessing Li Cheng’s thoughts, Kong Lianqing said, “Joining the Demon-suppressing Department to become a Demon-suppressing Envoy has considerable conveniences in the Kongqian Heaven Dynasty, and the Heaven Dynasty won’t restrict you too much. It even offers more freedom than joining sects, families, or other factions. But getting into the Demon-suppressing Department isn’t easy either.”
