355: Demons, can't be trusted...

Chu Mo didn't care what the Lust Demoness was thinking right now; he only knew he was in great danger.

Ninety-nine, one short of a hundred.

He, himself.

Should be that missing one.

But because Wan Hai interfered, Xuan Ling's plan couldn't proceed as smoothly... Yet, to this day.

Xuan Ling still hadn't met him.

"Wait, Demonic Lotus..."

Chu Mo suddenly remembered the matter of the Demonic Lotus.

If the other party was causing widespread destruction, she should have deliberately avoided him. Why did that Demonic Lotus, capable of Demonic Spirit Possession, appear before him?

She even used words to tempt him.

"Was it intentional, or an accident?"

Looking at the ninety-nine empty shells in the Immortal Source Pool below, Chu Mo always felt that Xuan Ling was plotting something big.

Even Wan Hai.

Was just one part of his scheme.

"You said the Heavenly Palace is Xuan Ling's Dao field, and that from the moment I entered, I was discovered by Xuan Ling! Then, in such an important place as the Immortal Source Pool, if you bring me in, Xuan Ling wouldn't sense it? Aren't you afraid he'll blame you?"

Chu Mo suddenly asked.

The Lust Demoness twirled a strand of hair with her fingertip, smiling meaningfully, "Blame me? Heh heh, bringing you here was actually Xuan Ling's instruction!

As for the purpose, I'm not clear, but it's definitely because of Wan Hai that his plan encountered problems.

Now, Xuan Ling probably wants to use the Immortal Source Pool to cleanse your Demon Race Bloodline, to get everything back on track."

Chu Mo didn't feel despair because of these words. The schemes of an Emperor Weapon were indeed terrifying, but there was still a chance for things to turn around.

He looked at the Lust Demoness with extreme calm: "Does our previous contract still hold?"

"It holds, of course it holds!" The Lust Demoness smiled brightly at Chu Mo: "They are the players, and we are the pieces. To jump off this chessboard, we have to band together, don't we?"

"Band together..." Chu Mo's eyes flickered slightly.

The Lust Demoness naturally had her own agenda. If he wasn't part of Xuan Ling and Wan Hai's schemes.

He would probably have been killed by her long ago.

It was based on his unique value that the Lust Demoness would set aside her Demon Race arrogance and cooperate with him.

Demon Race, heh heh, untrustworthy... Chu Mo looked at the Lust Demoness and asked, "What do you plan to do next? Follow Xuan Ling's request and throw me into this Immortal Source Pool to cleanse my Bloodline Power?"

The Lust Demoness giggled upon hearing this, "Xuan Ling and I are not of one mind, so why would I do that? It's just..."

It's just.

Just what?

Chu Mo vigilantly retreated repeatedly, putting distance between himself and the Lust Demoness, to prevent her from suddenly changing her expression.

Seeing this, the Lust Demoness also burst into laughter.

"What are you afraid of? I said, we two are now like ants on a single rope. Besides, I'm also reluctant to see your Bloodline cleansed like this!"

"...What do you intend to do?" Chu Mo didn't believe the Lust Demoness's one-sided words.

"I cannot fail to complete Xuan Ling's instructions, otherwise, I might be annihilated... So, this Immortal Source Pool! It must cleanse a demonic body..."

Before Chu Mo could react further.

The light screen at the passage had a faint fluctuation.

Mo Shi, had arrived.

"I have re-refined this body. Now I will withdraw my consciousness, and you quickly take over. Next..."

"Let him..."

"Re-place, you!"

The Lust Demoness enunciated each word clearly.

"Can this body really fool everyone?"

Chu Mo didn't believe Xuan Ling's perception would be so weak that he couldn't even distinguish between a main body and a Clone.

"This demonic body was originally a Clone you refined, and it even has soul threads you split off.

Now, Xuan Ling's strength is not what it once was, and he is fighting Wan Hai. Although he can sense some situations within the Heavenly Palace, he cannot accurately determine if Mo Shi is you.

Using this to replace you is most suitable, but you need to stay above the Immortal Source Pool, you cannot leave."

"Otherwise, Xuan Ling will certainly sense that you are not in this Immortal Source Pool. At that time, if he comes to the Heavenly Palace regardless of everything, we two won't be able to stop him!"

The Lust Demoness's words seemed to be for Chu Mo's benefit in every way, yet he vaguely felt that something was amiss.

[Long Aotian: @Chu Mo, Boss Chu, don't listen to her, she's just trying to mislead you. Although this demonic body has your soul threads, Xuan Ling is an Emperor Weapon, he can easily determine the authenticity. At that time, the Immortal Source Qi will come surging, sweeping you into the Immortal Source Pool, and you'll be finished!]

Long Aotian reminded him in time.

Chu Mo's heart tightened; there was indeed a trap.

But what was the Lust Demoness's purpose in doing this? With her strength, throwing him into this Immortal Source Pool would be a very simple matter.

Why make it so complicated?

What exactly was she plotting?

"To make sure the secondary demonic body can successfully replace you and deceive Xuan Ling by passing off as the real thing, I need something from you!"

Sure enough, was she finally revealing her true intentions?

First, she emphasized how serious the Immortal Source Pool was, how it was Xuan Ling's most valued place, concerning a million-year plan.

Then, she stated that bringing him to the Immortal Source Pool was Xuan Ling's task.

Now, she wanted something from him to get through the deception.

"You, oh you, are too impatient! So much so that your words contained too many flaws! I'm afraid even Xuan Ling sensing the Heavenly Palace might be a deceptive ploy!"

Having already known that the Lust Demoness had designs on him, Chu Mo did not flip the table. This would not benefit him.

Because.

He couldn't defeat the Lust Demoness.

Moreover, everything was too peculiar, and Chu Mo needed more information to confirm his inner suspicions.

Before that, he had to play along with her.

"What do you need?!" Chu Mo looked calmly at the Lust Demoness.

"Your Demonic Heart..."

"Impossible!" Chu Mo directly refused, "As a member of the Demon Race, you should know the importance of a Demonic Heart!"

"I naturally know." The Lust Demoness smiled, "Digging out your Demonic Heart will indeed damage your Foundation, but you can also successfully escape from this predicament."

Chu Mo's expression changed, and he remained silent.

The Lust Demoness continued to coax him, every word capable of stirring one's heartstrings.

"Without a Demonic Heart, it won't be a big deal for you. You can use Innate Demonic Runes to replace it, weaving a Demonic Rune Heart. Oh, right, before digging it out, remember to channel all the blood in your body into the Demonic Heart. That way, the heart woven from Innate Demonic Runes can use the Innate Demonic Rune symbols to circulate as blood within your body. At that time, you might even condense the legendary Undying Rune Demon Body!"

As she spoke these words, the Lust Demoness had already activated the Cultivation Technique she practiced.

Her words could stir the emotions within people's hearts. Those with unstable minds would even directly become her Puppets.

However, Chu Mo's Demon Race Bloodline was noble, and his mind was not weak.

She could only slightly manipulate him.

But, with the preceding words as a prelude, she planted a seed in his heart, a seed of unrest.

Xuan Ling calculated all living beings, and all living beings were chess pieces.

No one could stand outside of it.

Furthermore, Chu Mo himself was an important chess piece.

The Lust Demoness was confident that Chu Mo, whose heartstrings had been plucked and whose unsettling emotions magnified, would be unwilling to be a chess piece, and would desperately want to jump off the chessboard, thus accepting her solution.

However, digging out his Demonic Heart was impossible to agree to.

Of course, her goal wasn't the Demonic Heart either.

If there's a room full of people and you want to open a window, everyone disagrees. But if you propose to tear down the roof, then people will agree to open the window.

Proposing a large request, and then proposing a seemingly much smaller request, can achieve the ultimate goal.

This is the charm of language.
