**Chapter 551: Watching Him Leave, Like Watching a Fool**
When Shi Xing’an successfully changed professions, he caused an anomaly that was discussed for a while. Lin
The emergence of a Great Earth Knight within the human race was not a small matter.
But after that, Shi Xing’an disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where he went.
Shi Xing’an concealed his identity and cultivated alone.
This time, he finally reappeared at the God Stone dungeon.
The God Stone dungeon does not consider levels; everyone who enters will face challenges tailored specifically for them, making it extremely fair.
Shi Xing’an fought his way through, fully demonstrating the power of a Great Earth Knight.
In the end, he scored 95 points, tying the highest record along with Shu Han, excluding Lin Moyu.
The record set by Lin Moyu was already considered a miracle and was not used for comparison, as it was meaningless.
In the eyes of most people, the highest record was still 95 points.
Lin Moyu was not concerned about this. After leaving, he went to the Kunlun Mountains again, as the Kunlun Divine Palace dungeon was still his best choice for leveling up.
He planned to grind in the initial dungeon until level 60, then move on to the middle dungeon located halfway up the mountain.
Lin Moyu had 4 high-level cooling amulets, which were enough for him to grind 200 times.
Reaching level 58 would not be a problem.
After 200 grinds, he would go to Meng Anwen to recharge the high-level cooling amulets’ energy. Creating high-level cooling amulets is not easy, and only truly top-tier experts possess them. Recharging the energy is also not simple, requiring a large amount of materials.
However, obtaining these materials was not difficult for Meng Anwen.
Especially since Lin Moyu had given Meng Anwen many venomous dragon vertebrae, which Meng Anwen could exchange for a large number of materials.
The cost of recharging the energy was negligible.
The biting cold wind and swirling snow remained unchanged in the Kunlun Mountains, lasting for an unknown number of years.
The area where Lin Moyu and the Kunlun Snow God had their great battle had long been covered by snow, erasing all traces.
If not for the many witnesses, it would be unimaginable that such a battle had taken place.
The thick snow buries time and erases history.
People still came and went along the path, with many heading towards the Kunlun Mountains.
This time, Lin Moyu did not follow the crowd but flew directly to the entrance of the initial Kunlun Divine Palace at the foot of the mountain and began grinding without stopping.
Every half hour, his speed was extremely stable.
Each grind yielded around 1.3% experience.
He currently had 13% experience and needed to grind 66 more times to level up.
Whenever Lin Moyu started grinding, his serious and frenzied demeanor would frighten anyone who saw him.
In the Abyss, the flames of the Demon Emperor’s palace burned fiercely.
The Demon Queen stood respectfully outside the Demon Emperor’s palace.
The Demon Emperor’s ethereal voice slowly emerged, "You say that Meng Anwen of the human race is carrying out some secret plan?"
The Demon Queen respectfully bowed to the Demon Emperor, "According to the intelligence we’ve recently obtained, Meng Anwen seems to be setting up a formation. This formation covers an area that spans almost the entire Divine Xia Empire."
"After Meng Anwen sets it up, the military takes over the management. I’ve already sent people from the Demon Worshippers to investigate, but we haven’t received any further information for now."
The flames flickered, and the Demon Emperor seemed to be deep in thought, not responding.
The Demon Queen kept her head lowered, not daring to look up, waiting for instructions.
After a moment, the Demon Emperor said calmly, "Meng Anwen is the only dual-god-level alchemist and formation master among the humans. His status within the human race is extremely high, and he controls half of the military’s forces."
"Not long ago, he and Bai Yiyuan carried out a purge of your Demon Worshippers, leaving them half-crippled."
"You acted too brazenly before, thinking that by controlling a few high-ranking officials in the human race, Meng Anwen and the others couldn’t touch you."
The Demon Emperor’s voice was calm and steady, but it made the Demon Queen tremble all over when it reached her ears.
The Demon Emperor continued, "Now that Meng Anwen has taken action, your half-crippled Demon Worshippers can’t even find out what he’s doing."
"What use is keeping such a useless thing around?"
The Demon Queen was so frightened that she half-knelt in mid-air, not daring to make a sound.
In the Abyss world, the Demon Emperor was the supreme ruler.
At this moment, a black crystal ball flew out from the Demon Emperor’s palace and landed in the Demon Queen’s hands.
"Take this crystal ball to the human world and get as close as possible to the formation Meng Anwen is setting up, then activate the crystal ball."
"You must go and handle this matter personally, understand?"
The Demon Queen trembled all over, filled with fear and respect, "I understand."
"Go!"
After the Demon Queen left, the Demon Emperor’s palace returned to its usual silence.
The vast Demon Emperor’s palace had been mostly quiet for countless years.
A figure appeared in the palace, with the firelight casting a long shadow.
The flames reflected a face that was indescribable.
"Di Huang, what are you humans up to!"
The "Di Huang" it mentioned was none other than the only half-step super god-level expert among the humans.
He was also the "old man" referred to by Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan.
The Demon Queen left the Demon Emperor’s palace with the Demon Emperor’s crystal ball, feeling extremely uneasy.
Originally, she had no intention of reporting the events happening in the human world to the Demon Emperor.
After all, even she didn’t have accurate information and didn’t know what Meng Anwen was up to.
But the Demon Emperor had obtained information from somewhere and directly summoned her.
Faced with the Demon Emperor’s inquiry, the Demon Queen didn’t dare hide anything.
"I better not find out who told the Demon Emperor the secret, or this Demon Queen will never let you off," the Demon Queen thought to herself, but she didn’t show any outward expression.
She didn’t know what the Demon Emperor’s crystal ball was capable of, and if it could record her actions and transmit them to the Demon Emperor.
Now, she had to follow the Demon Emperor’s orders and go to the human world.
Of course, she wouldn’t go in her true form but would send a clone instead.
There was a huge barrier between the Abyss demons and the human world, and if her true form went to the human world, the cost would be unimaginable.
Sending a clone was better, although it would still come at a cost, but one that she could bear.
The Demon Emperor told her to go personally, but he didn’t say her true form had to go. Sending a clone was still going personally, wasn’t it?
The god-level experts in the human world were not just for show. If her clone went, there was a high chance it wouldn’t come back.
The Demon Queen cursed the one who had revealed the secret, as the loss this time would not be small.
As she was gritting her teeth in anger, a black light flashed before her eyes.
The Black Demon King appeared in her line of sight.
The Demon Queen stopped, "Black Demon King, what’s the matter?"
The Black Demon King said, "I want to ask the Demon Queen about Lin Moyu of the human race."
The Demon Queen had the Demon Worshippers under her command, making her the most knowledgeable about the human world.
The Demon Queen’s eyes flickered, and she revealed a charming smile, "Sure, but I’ve just received orders from the Demon Emperor to go to the human world."
The Black Demon King was slightly surprised, "You’re going in your true form?"
The Demon Queen shook her head, "Of course not, the cost of going in my true form would be too great, and it would be too dangerous. This Demon Queen can’t afford it."
"Even if I just send a clone, the cost is still heartbreaking."
The Black Demon King immediately understood the Demon Queen’s meaning and took out a jet-black magic stone. In the center of the magic stone, the Abyss fire burned fiercely.
Magic stones in the Abyss were also graded, and different grades had different values. The magic stone the Black Demon King took out was an extremely valuable top-grade item.
The Black Demon King handed the top-grade magic stone to the Demon Queen, "Please allow my clone to accompany you on this trip, Demon Queen."
The Demon Queen smiled sweetly as she accepted the top-grade magic stone, "Of course, Black Demon King, you’re too kind."
Half a day later, on a remote island in the human world.
A grand ceremony was taking place.
On the island, there were hundreds of people, with more than a dozen forming a circle.
A black magic stone was burning fiercely in the center.
The flames gradually spread, engulfing their bodies.
One by one, they had devout expressions, ready to face death, allowing the flames to burn them without showing any pain.
"Burn my soul, incinerate my body!"
"Believe in my lord, live forever!"
"Sacrifice!"
The flames shot up into the sky, and in an instant, the more than a dozen people turned to ashes.
Amidst the flames, a spatial rift was opened.
A giggling voice rang out as the Demon Queen and the Black Demon King’s clone flew out from the spatial rift.
The more than a dozen devout believers were the cost the Demon Queen had to pay. With the Demon Worshippers’ numbers already dwindling, the Demon Queen felt a pang of regret for these devout believers.
"Welcome, my lord!"
Everyone on the island knelt down and bowed to the Demon Queen.
The Black Demon King sensed the direction and said, "Thank you, Demon Queen."
The Demon Queen giggled, "Be careful on your journey, Black Demon King."
The Black Demon King nodded, "Last time, it was just a careless mistake. This time, Lin Moyu won’t be so lucky."
With that, it turned into a black light and flew towards the distance.
The Demon Queen watched the direction it left, looking at it like a fool, her face filled with disdain.
