Mo Qingcheng tried her best to suppress the disgust in her heart and pretended to be happy, saying, "Compensation? Really?"
Yue Wudi, controlling her soul, could see her thoughts.
Therefore, she had to hide her true intentions to the best of her ability and deceive him.
Yue Wudi sneered inwardly.
He had climbed from an ordinary Earth Demon to the position of Demon Lord, experiencing a long stretch of time.
This time was so long that he couldn't even remember how long it had been.
And in such a long period, he had seen more people than Mo Qingcheng had eaten rice.
These people schemed against each other, deceived one another, plotted against each other, and suspected each other. How many of them were not ill-intentioned?
Therefore, how could Mo Qingcheng's petty thoughts escape his notice?
Hmph!
If it weren't for the fact that the time was not yet right, how could he condescend to share a body with such a scheming woman?
Never mind!
Since Mo Qingcheng wanted to play mind games, he would accompany her. After all, Mo Qingcheng was destined to be devoured by him.
Thus, he said coldly, "Of course it's true! When have I ever lied to you? How about this, aren't you coveting my 'Great Demonic Lord's Devouring Technique'? I will bestow the upper volume upon you!"
Mo Qingcheng's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "Thank you, Demon Lord, for your bestowal!"
With this "Great Demonic Lord's Devouring Technique," she could quickly strengthen her soul. By then, devouring Yue Wudi's remnant soul would be a piece of cake!
Yue Wudi sneered inwardly again.
Of course, he wouldn't tell Mo Qingcheng that without the soul refinement and replenishment technique from the lower volume, even if she cultivated the devouring technique from the upper volume, she would only end up with her soul exploding.
"Relax your mind and do not resist. I will impart the cultivation method to you now."
Mo Qingcheng did not hesitate and directly opened her mind.
Because she knew that if Yue Wudi wanted her life, he wouldn't need any other means; he could simply annihilate her soul.
Yue Wudi indeed did not play any tricks and directly transmitted the upper volume of the "Great Demonic Lord's Devouring Technique" to her.
After all, without the lower volume, Mo Qingcheng wouldn't be able to cause any significant trouble.
Having obtained the "Great Demonic Lord's Devouring Technique," Mo Qingcheng was secretly overjoyed.
She once again looked at the human figure on Nine Absolutes Peak with resentment, thinking, "Bitch, when I master the 'Great Demonic Lord's Devouring Technique,' it will be your time to die!"
However, life is full of coincidences.
Originally, Zi Linling had searched for a long time with her divine sense but could not find Mo Qingcheng's hiding place.
But Mo Qingcheng's emotional fluctuations this time were too intense, and Zi Linling immediately sensed her.
Zi Linling, inside the wall of fire, suddenly opened her eyes, a cold smile forming on her lips, and said, "Found you!"
Since she had found Mo Qingcheng's location, she naturally withdrew her divine sense.
The surrounding walls of fire quickly dissipated, transforming into pure spiritual energy elements and returning to nature.
Then, she leisurely walked to where the chains were, leaped lightly, and with a few taps of her feet, she stood steadily on the Cliff of Soul Severing.
"Third Miss Zi, mighty!"
"Third Miss Zi, mighty!"
"Third Miss Zi, mighty!"
...
The onlookers who had won spirit stones naturally cheered for Zi Linling.
Those who had lost spirit stones, although resentful in their hearts, saw Zi Linling's peerless beauty and their resentment vanished like smoke.
Although they didn't know why Zi Linling had suddenly sat down, it didn't affect their pursuit and tolerance of beauty.
Mo Qingcheng, hiding behind the rocks, heard such cheers, and her face became even more ferocious.
Such cheers should have belonged to her, but Zi Linling had stolen them.
In her extreme anger, her fists clenched tightly, and she didn't even realize her palms were pierced by her sharp nails.
Zi Linling smiled kindly at the onlookers and then walked towards the large rock where Mo Qingcheng was hiding.
Soon, she stood in front of the large rock and sneered, "Mo Qingcheng, since you signed the life-and-death contract, it's naturally a battle to the death. It's too dishonorable of you to run away like this, isn't it?"
Zi Linling's words were like a stone dropped into a calm lake.
The onlookers exploded.
"What do you mean? Fairy Qingcheng isn't dead? And she ran away?"
"That's not right! I clearly saw Third Miss Zi slit Fairy Qingcheng's throat just now."
"I saw it too! Look, on Nine Absolutes Peak, that corpse is still there!"
"But Third Miss Zi wouldn't speak without reason. She's talking to the big rock now, could Fairy Qingcheng be hiding behind it?"
"What 'could be'? Move the rock and see, then you'll know!"
...
The onlookers, who loved to watch a good show, started to move the rock.
That's right, they were going to move it! With brute force!
As for why they didn't use spiritual arts?
It was naturally to show off and gain favor with Zi Linling.
After all, everyone knew spiritual arts, and Zi Linling wouldn't be able to tell who did it.
Zi Linling smiled faintly and did not stop them, letting them rub their hands together eagerly.
This made Mo Qingcheng, hiding behind the rock, extremely anxious.
Once the rock was moved, she would be completely exposed to everyone's gaze.
Having signed a life-and-death contract and agreed to a death match, yet escaping using a puppet substitution technique, such an act would be enough to drown her in a barrage of spit.
Furthermore, there would be no place for her in the cultivation world from then on.
Unless her cultivation was so powerful that she could ignore everything.
"Demon Lord, what should we do?" Mo Qingcheng anxiously transmitted to Yue Wudi.
"What should we do? Run! Before anyone discovers you!"
Yue Wudi was speechless. She still had to ask him such a simple question.
As long as Mo Qingcheng left this place and was not discovered, then Zi Linling would be the one in an awkward situation.
Mo Qingcheng said angrily, "How can I run? I'm being locked onto by a powerful expert, I can't move at all!"
Because she was too anxious, her tone was unfriendly.
Yue Wudi said sarcastically, "A powerful expert is locking onto you? You think too highly of yourself! In their eyes, you are not even as good as an ant. Which powerful expert would waste their time on you? Stop talking nonsense and run quickly!"
Mo Qingcheng was burning with anger but had to suppress it.
Hmph! When she mastered the "Great Demonic Lord's Devouring Technique," the first person she would devour was this idiot Demon Lord, Yue Wudi.
Never mind, let's take a gamble!
Mo Qingcheng took out a black cloak from her spatial storage bag and put it on.
This cloak was called an invisibility cloak and allowed one to move while invisible.
She was gambling that the powerful expert would not be able to detect her while she was wearing the cloak and moving.
Unfortunately, she miscalculated.
As soon as she took a step, that feeling of extreme danger once again struck her heart.
She quickly retracted her step and stood still. The feeling of danger disappeared.
Cannot escape?
Then what should I do?
