183: Chapter 183: The Red-Eyed Demon's Investigation
Third Elder's body trembled slightly in Han Ming's arms; her silver-white fox tail unfurled involuntarily, swaying gently behind her.
She closed her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, and the blush on her cheeks deepened.
The moment Han Ming's lips touched hers, a tingling electric current spread from her lips, traveling down her spine throughout her entire body.
Third Elder had lived for hundreds of years, yet this was the first time she had been held so intimately by a man.
Han Ming's kiss was not rough; it even carried a touch of tenderness.
His palm gently stroked Third Elder's back, feeling her delicate skin and slightly trembling body.
Third Elder's breathing gradually became rapid. Her arms involuntarily wrapped around Han Ming's neck, her eyes became hazy, and Han Ming's reflection appeared deep within her pupils.
She raised her hand and gently stroked Han Ming's cheek, her fingertips trembling slightly.
"Senior..."
Her voice carried a hint of seductiveness, the tail of her tone slightly rising.
"Just call me by my name."
Han Ming said in a low voice, his palm sliding to her waist, and with a gentle scoop, he lifted her entire body up.
Third Elder let out a soft cry, her legs involuntarily tightening around Han Ming's waist.
Han Ming carried Third Elder into the inner chamber and placed her gently on the bed covered with white beast hide.
Her gaze locked onto Han Ming; there was no fear in her eyes, only a kind of almost devout anticipation.
Han Ming leaned down and kissed her neck.
The moment they completely merged, a terrifying energy erupted simultaneously from within their bodies.
The Silver Moon Fox Clan Bloodline within Han Ming surged wildly at this moment, creating a violent resonance with Third Elder's Bloodline.
The 'Nine Transformations of the Silver Fox' within both of them was running frantically, their Bloodline Power intertwining to form a cycle within their bodies.
At the same time, their Divine Sense merged, one within the other, and the Rule power they had comprehended manifested, absorbing each other and growing together.
"Boom..."
In Han Ming's mind, his comprehension of the Profound Truth of Fire and the Profound Truth of Enchantment was rapidly increasing.
Ten percent, twenty percent... fifty percent... ninety percent...
He did not know how much time had passed when a "humming" sound echoed in Han Ming's Sea of Consciousness; the Profound Truth of Fire and the Profound Truth of Enchantment instantly transformed into Rules.
Third Elder's gains were equally significant; Han Ming's Metal Rule and War Rule were completely open to her.
She quickly improved her comprehension of the two Rules.
The True Intent of Metal and the True Intent of Battle reached the first level, second level... fifth level... ninth level...
Soon, a humming sound came from her Sea of Consciousness, and the True Intent instantly transformed into Profound Truth.
The comprehension did not stop.
The Profound Truth of Metal and the Profound Truth of Battle reached ten percent, twenty percent... fifty percent... ninety percent...
He did not know how much time had passed when a humming sound rang out in her Sea of Consciousness again, and the Profound Truth instantly transformed into Rules.
Time passed quietly during their Dual Cultivation.
A few days later, both of them opened their eyes simultaneously.
In Han Ming's eyes, golden, silver, and red lights intertwined and flickered, his internal Qi as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea.
Through the feedback from the Dual Cultivation with Third Elder, his cultivation also broke through to a Two-Star Martial Saint.
The Law of Fire and Enchantment Rule both reached sixty percent, complementing his existing Metal Rule, War Rule, Thunder Rule, and Space Rule.
The power of the six Rules intertwined and resonated in his Sea of Consciousness, each one refined to the extreme.
His combat power had reached a much higher level than before.
Third Elder's aura also surged dramatically.
Her original sixty percent Law of Fire and Enchantment Rule remained unchanged, and now she had also comprehended thirty percent of the Metal Rule and twenty percent of the War Rule.
The Bloodline within her was much purer; although it had not yet reached the level of seven tails, it had already reached the peak of six tails.
It was even a bit denser than Tribe Leader's.
"My Bloodline Power has actually become so much purer? And I have also comprehended thirty percent of the Metal Rule and twenty percent of the War Rule. Thank you, Han Ming!"
Feeling the earth-shaking changes in herself, a flash of excitement crossed Third Elder's eyes; her combat power was more than ten times stronger than before.
An ordinary Seven-Star Demon Saint was definitely no match for her.
Her gaze towards Han Ming was full of tenderness and gratitude.
After several days of intimate Dual Cultivation, she no longer felt the initial unfamiliarity towards Han Ming, but instead felt a bit more attachment and reluctance to part.
"Between you and me, there is no need to be polite."
Han Ming glanced at the crimson stain on the white beast hide, reached out to tuck her silver hair behind her ear, and gently stroked her cheek with his fingertips.
"Hmm, it's so good to have you!"
Third Elder's face was flushed, and she leaned happily against Han Ming's shoulder.
Han Ming pulled her voluptuous body into his arms, sighing inwardly; did he have some special fetish?
The two women he had met since his Transmigration were both fox spirits.
However, he had to admit, it was truly wonderful.
Han Ming stayed in Silver Moon Valley for a few more days, basically spending every day in Dual Cultivation with Third Elder.
Her Enchantment Rule also increased to seventy percent, and she successfully broke through to a Seven-Star Demon Saint.
With Han Ming's help, her Metal Rule and War Rule also improved rapidly, both reaching forty percent, with combat power comparable to an ordinary Eight-Star Demon Saint.
Han Ming's Enchantment Rule also reached seventy percent, but it did not provide a major boost to his combat power, though he could set up illusions, which were hard for those below Seven-Star Martial Saint to distinguish from reality.
He could also use the power of enchantment against the opposite sex, which was similarly hard to resist for those below Seven-Star Martial Saint.
"How is it? Have you still not found that human powerhouse?"
Deep within Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, in the same black palace, Demon Saint Chimu looked sharply at the several Demon Saint powerhouses below.
"No, that person seems to have vanished into thin air. We have searched the entire Wan Yao Ridge Mountains and have not found any trace of him."
A dark-skinned man in the lead replied in a muffled voice.
"Hmph, a bunch of useless trash, you can't even find one living person."
Demon Saint Chimu slammed his palm onto the table in front of him, and the table instantly turned into powder. The air in the palace seemed to freeze, pressing down so heavily that the several Demon Saint powerhouses below could barely breathe.
"Commander, I have two suspicions, I don't know if I should say them or not."
A tall, thin middle-aged man raised his head and said cautiously.
"Speak."
Commander Chimu said coldly.
The tall, thin Demon Saint swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice: "I suspect that the human powerhouse has either left Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, or... is hiding in Silver Moon Valley."
"Silver Moon Valley?"
Commander Chimu narrowed his eyes, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrest of his throne, "Hmm, I will go to Silver Moon Valley myself to meet that Han Ming."
How could he not have suspected it! It was just that he had no evidence, and given Han Ming's strength, it wouldn't be easy for him to tear off the mask of civility!
After speaking, he looked at the dark-skinned man who had spoken at the beginning and asked: "How is the situation with the retaliation against humans on the outskirts of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge?"
"Reporting to the Commander, in the past few days, we have hunted and killed over five thousand human Martial Artists on the outskirts of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, but recently humans have also dispatched many powerhouses, and we have also lost many Advanced exotic beasts."
The dark-skinned man quickly bowed respectfully and said.
"Hmph, continue. It is just some exotic beasts dying. If Ten Thousand Demon Ridge has nothing else, it has plenty of exotic beasts. I want to see if the humans can afford to keep this up."
Demon Saint Chimu let out a cold snort, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his pupils, which were glowing with a deep red light.
They had lost nine Demon Saints and dozens of Demon Venerables all at once; he had to show his stance.
Otherwise, who among his subordinates would respect him in the future?
"Commander, will this cause a large-scale conflict with humans? Many powerhouses have already gathered on the outskirts of Ten Thousand Demon Ridge, I am worried..."
The tall, thin Demon Saint stood out, a trace of worry flashing across his face.
Every year, the beast tide was ordered by that person in the depths. Now, without his order, he was worried that that person would blame him for starting a war with humans without authorization.
"Rest assured! It was the human powerhouse who broke the rules first. I will bear all the consequences."
Commander Chimu waved his hand, interrupting him.
"Yes!"
The several Demon Saint powerhouses answered in unison and withdrew from the palace.
"Silver Moon Valley, Han Ming..."
Watching the backs of the people as they left, Commander Chimu's eyes became deep, and his figure flashed and instantly disappeared.
"Brother Han Ming, Chimu is visiting, please appear and let us meet."
Above Silver Moon Valley, Demon Saint Chimu stood in the air, his voice like a great bell.
In Silver Moon Valley, Han Ming heard Demon Saint Chimu's voice, and his brow furrowed slightly.
Beside him, Third Elder and Ji Lingyue showed a worried expression.
"Rest assured! A mere Demon Saint Chimu is not worth worrying about."
Han Ming saw their worry, patted their hands, and with a flash, appeared above Silver Moon Valley.
