Chapter 885: Sky City’s Young Lady 44
The result was, of course, that it spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, gradually spreading out. As for the Great Demon, it was spoken of with such exaggeration that not many people believed it.
...
"So it was the people from Sky City who ruined things." The powerful being within He Ling’s necklace said through gritted teeth.
"Senior, have you had conflicts with the people of Sky City before?" He Ling heard something off in the tone of the powerful being and asked puzzledly.
"They’ve ruined my plans more than just once or twice. Our next step is to go to Sky City." The powerful being declared.
"But, Senior, didn’t you say we should gather all those treasures needed to reshape your body first?" He Ling was confused.
"Besides reshaping the body, there’s actually another way. It’s just that this method seemed almost impossible before, so I didn’t tell you." The powerful being said coldly, "But now the opportunity has come."
"What?" He Ling was even more puzzled.
"The City Lord of Sky City, each City Lord, after taking the position, actually goes to Yuxin to purify their Spirit Root to an Attributeless Spiritual Root. Only then can they connect with the Divine Soul, the cornerstone of Sky City, to protect the city. The city is also protecting the City Lord. If I could successfully possess a body with an Attributeless Spiritual Root, I could be reborn. Previously, Sky City’s defenses were tight, but recently there must be some flaws due to managing those demonized cultivators. So the opportunity has come." The powerful being explained patiently, then said coldly, "First, let’s solve the issue at hand. Last night, I felt that someone seemed to be spying on us, and this morning I confirmed it."
"Who could it be?" He Ling asked in surprise. In his heart, this Senior was considered the number one in the world, unmatched by anyone. Although he failed at Ascension, he was the first person in nearly ten thousand years in this world who could ascend. And it took this Senior a whole night to be certain about the person spying, indicating that they were truly extraordinary.
"I don’t know either."
"Is it related to the Demon Cultivators?" He Ling asked somewhat uneasily.
"I’m not sure. In any case, let’s deal with this matter first. Then we’ll head to Sky City." The powerful being commanded, "It’s time to put your little lover to use."
"Senior..." He Ling hesitated and said, "Could you, please, spare her life?"
Hearing He Ling’s hesitant tone, the powerful being snorted and said mockingly, "To accomplish great things, you can’t hesitate over such trivial matters. After Ascension, you can go to a bigger, more exciting world where you can have whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, He Ling hurriedly said, "You are right, Senior."
"However," the powerful being suddenly changed the topic, "your little lover might still be useful. You can stage a play but just push it to the point of no return."
He Ling heard this, felt glad in his heart, but didn’t dare show it, instead saying calmly, "Yes, thank you, Senior, for the guidance."
"The youth can be taught." The powerful being said with satisfaction.
The little lover that the powerful being referred to was a young female Demon Cultivator with a seductive face and a fiery figure. She had met He Ling through conflict, and gradually they developed feelings for each other. The one pretending to be the young lady of Sky City was this Demon Cultivator. Because of her genuine contributions, He Ling felt somewhat differently about her.
After discussing with the powerful being how to handle this matter, he went to the room of this female Demon Cultivator to discuss the matter.
Three days later, something major happened in Xiji City.
The disciple of Cangyuan Sect, He Ling, who had been painstakingly investigating the case of orthodox cultivators being secretly harmed and turned into Demon Cultivators, finally found the culprit.
