24: Chapter 24 From Holy Son to Godfather! He's completely outmaneuvered!

Azure Cloud City, Su Family secret room.

A message-transmitting bronze mirror, engraved with blood-colored runes, rippled like water, reflecting a face full of weariness.

It was none other than Xue Li, the Saint of the Blood Demon Cult.

"Linger! It's already been over three months!"

Xue Li's voice was filled with deep exhaustion and a hint of impatience. The background behind him was a desolate wilderness that had been dug up into pits and craters.

"To find those Spirit Medicines to mend your Origin, do you know how I've been living these past few days? I am a dignified Golden Core Great Perfection, yet now I'm digging for food in the mountains like a savage!!"

"Has your Origin finally been repaired? Have all my efforts gone down the drain?!"

Even the most devoted simp has a limit. Xue Li was clearly on the verge of an outburst.

However, facing Xue Li's questioning, Yan Ling'er not only showed no trace of panic, but instead revealed an expression of extreme surprise, bordering on sacred.

"Brother Xue Li! You must not be impatient!"

Yan Ling'er spoke to the bronze mirror, her tone trembling with excitement:

"A miracle! A miracle has happened!"

"I originally thought my life was ruined, but thanks to those top-grade Spirit Medicines of yours... not only did they repair my Origin, but they even..."

Yan Ling'er carefully and quietly released a trace of the aura from the fetus in her womb.

Hum!

Across thousands of miles of space, a wave of ancient, overbearing pressure, as if coming from the Nine Nether Abyss, was transmitted through the bronze mirror!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

That powerful heartbeat sounded like the thunderous beating of war drums!

"This... what is this aura?!"

Xue Li, who had been grumbling moments ago, instantly widened his eyes and even subconsciously took two steps back. From the depths of his Soul came an irresistible sense of trembling and submission.

"Demon... Demon God aura?!"

"That's right!" Yan Ling'er's eyes filled with tears as she gazed at Su Feng with an expression of worship:

"This is the legendary Innate Demon Fetus! Because of the unique nature of my Heavenly Demon Charm Body, combined with the nourishment from those spiritual Heaven And Earth Treasures of yours, I have actually conceived a reincarnated Demon God!"

"Brother Xue Li, this is all thanks to you!"

"It... it's my credit?" Xue Li was completely stunned, his mind going blank.

"Of course!"

Yan Ling'er struck while the iron was hot, casting out the fatal bait:

"This Demon Fetus was only able to take form because it fed on your resources. Once it is born, it will surely be able to lead us to restore the Blood Demon Cult and sweep across the Southern Region!"

"By then, you won't just be a Saint; you will be the Godfather of this Demon Child! You will be above everyone else, second only to one! The Demon Child might even pass on supreme Demonic Techniques to help you reach Soul Transformation!"

"God... Godfather?!"

These two words were like a shot of adrenaline, instantly opening up Xue Li's meridians.

So... he was doing something this great?

He was nurturing a Demon God?!

The previous exhaustion and complaints vanished into thin air at this moment!

Replacing them was a sacred sense of mission!

"I... I knew you were a person of great fortune, Linger!"

Xue Li was so excited he became incoherent, his eyes turning red:

"Godfather... Good, good, good! This Godfather position, I am determined to take it!"

"Don't worry, Linger! Is the Demon Child hungry? What else does it need? I'll get Dragon liver and Phoenix marrow for it! We absolutely cannot let the future of the Demon Cult go hungry!"

"Mm-hmm, Brother Xue Li is the best~"

Yan Ling'er gave a sweet smile and hung up the communication.

"Phew..."

The light of the bronze mirror extinguished.

Yan Ling'er instantly put away that worshipping fangirl expression, turned her head to make a face at Su Feng, and said triumphantly:

"Done! This free long-term meal ticket has been renewed."

Su Feng watched from the side, amazed, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up:

"High! Truly high!"

"Killing the person and attacking the heart. If this Xue Li finds out later that the Demon God he risked his life to provide for has to call me Dad, I wonder if he'll get so angry on the spot that he suffers Qi Deviation and his Dao Heart shatters."

Although it was a bit unkind, for the sake of the child, this Saint would just have to be wronged.

After all, raising an S-rank child is just too expensive!

Fortunately, there is this Saint at the Golden Core Great Perfection stage working so hard; he really is a good person.

Su Feng turned to look at Lin Qingxue, who was meditating on the other side.

Like Yan Ling'er, she also needed resources to feed the child in her belly.

"I'm not in a rush on my side; this is all thanks to the Lingxiao Sect's Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow Divine Crystal."

Upon hearing this, Su Feng let out a long sigh of relief.

"That's good..."

"However, the Su Family's foundation is currently too thin, and the resources around Azure Cloud City have been scraped clean."

"The Family is in its starting phase; I must find a way..."

Su Feng's eyes flickered as he frantically calculated countermeasures in his mind.

Find Ying Yue'e and sell himself?

He couldn't bring this up proactively; exposing it too early would only make his bargaining chips fewer and fewer.

Rob Great Zhou?

That crazy woman Wu Qin is just looking for an excuse to start a war, and Great Zhou's national fortune is not something to be trifled with.

"It's difficult..." Su Feng sighed.

Suddenly, Su Feng thought of something.

A storage ring appeared in his hand. After using his Divine Sense to erase the imprint on it, Su Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Truly, murder and arson lead to golden belts.

The resources of the entire Azure Cloud City could not compare to the wealth inside Yun Liu's storage ring.

A full fifty thousand Spirit Stones, and countless Medicinal Pills and Magic Treasures.

Su Feng's eyes began to flicker. The debt with Elder Ghost Hand of the Blood Fiend Sect hadn't been settled yet; it was time to have a good chat with their Sect Leader.

...

Meanwhile.

Lingxiao Sect, Discussion Hall.

The hall, which was usually filled with ethereal Immortal Qi, was now shrouded in a suffocating Death Qi.

"Slap!!"

The Lingxiao Sect Master slammed his hand heavily onto the table, his usually dignified face now twisted into a hideous and terrifying expression.

"Who can tell me! What exactly is going on?!"

"Yun Liu is dead?! And the Saintess has disappeared too?!"

Below, a group of Golden Core Elders knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to even breathe loudly.

This was a heaven-collapsing catastrophe!

Yun Liu, as the Law Enforcement Elder with Late Golden Core Stage cultivation, was actually destroyed in body and Divine Soul within their own Sect? Without even sending out a distress signal?

What was even more terrifying was that the Saintess Lin Qingxue, who had been personally selected by the Blazing Moon Sect Special Envoy to be sent to the "Crimson Flame Secret Realm" in three months, had also vanished into thin air!

"Sect Master... we have checked..."

An Elder reported tremblingly:

"There are no signs that the Sect-Protecting Great Array was destroyed, and there was no alarm of an external enemy invasion. It is just like... just like some terrifying mighty figure directly tore through space to descend and took the people away..."

"Tearing through space? Are you trying to say Late Nascent Soul Stage? Or Soul Transformation?"

The Lingxiao Sect Master laughed in anger, his eyes filled with despair and fury:

"Where in the Southern Region would such a strong person come from? Could it be that the old monsters from those few major Empires have made a move?"

Regardless of who it was, the most critical issue now is how to answer to the Blazing Moon Sect?

In three months, if the Special Envoy cannot see Lin Qingxue, who carries the dao fetus, they will not only be blamed, but the Special Envoy might even wipe out the entire Lingxiao Sect in a fit of rage!

"This is not just a matter of one Elder dying; this is about the destruction of the Sect!!"

The Lingxiao Sect Master took a deep breath, a flash of determination and ruthlessness crossing his eyes:

"Seal off the news! Absolutely do not let the Blazing Moon Sect know that the person is missing!"

"Pass on my order! Mobilize all the Sect's secret agents, spies, and even the Outer Sect Disciples!"

"Even if you have to turn the entire Southern Region upside down, you must find Lin Qingxue for me!!"

"Bring me the person alive, or bring me the corpse!!"

As the Sect Master's order was issued, countless streams of light flew out from the Lingxiao Sect, swarming in all directions like locusts.
