353: Chapter 353 The Heart Demon Clan's Assistance

Upon hearing Su Mo's question, Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven's delicate body trembled slightly. A flicker of panic and guilt crossed her stunningly beautiful face, and her autumn-water-like eyes lowered involuntarily, not daring to meet Su Mo's gaze.

Her slender fingers twisted the hem of her skirt unconsciously, and she stammered, "Su Mo... that Incarnation..."

She truly had not expected that in such a short time, Su Mo's cultivation would have progressed to such a terrifying degree!

When they parted years ago, although Su Mo was strong, his strength had not reached the level where he could suppress a Great Demon Lord with a mere flick of his finger as he could now.

In her mind, the Yanyu Demon Clan was powerful and possessed a Great Demon Lord presiding over it. Even if she used the Incarnation to contact Su Mo, she feared it would only drag Su Mo into danger, or perhaps even cause him harm.

Rather than that, it was better to fight to the death herself; perhaps she could still win a glimmer of hope for her clan.

Looking at her anxious appearance, like a child who had done something wrong, the slight displeasure Su Mo felt because she had not contacted him in time dissipated by more than half.

He sighed softly, his tone softening, "Forget it, this matter is not entirely your fault. The Yanyu Demon Clan came aggressively, and supporting the clan on your own must have been difficult."

He paused, his tone turning serious, "But remember, if you encounter an unsolvable crisis next time, you must notify me immediately. Since I left behind an Incarnation, it is because I trust your ability to judge, and I am prepared to assist at any time. If you delay due to hesitation, causing the clan to suffer a catastrophe, that would truly be failing my trust and failing your own responsibility."

Upon hearing this, Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven felt both touched and ashamed. She nodded obediently, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzzing, "Yes, Su Mo, Xiao Qi will remember. There will never be a next time."

Seeing that Su Mo was no longer pursuing the matter, she felt slightly relieved and finally dared to raise her eyes to steal a glance at Su Mo.

His expression was gentle, with no intention of blaming her. The deeply hidden longing and expectation immediately welled up in her heart, transforming into a bright glimmer of joy in her eyes.

She asked tentatively, "Su Mo, did you come to the Heavenly Demon Realm specifically... to find me?"

When she asked this, her heartbeat involuntarily quickened, and her fair cheeks flushed with a faint, delicate red. Her eyes carried cautious expectation, as if waiting for an important answer.

Su Mo looked at her demeanor, and his heart stirred slightly, making him momentarily unsure of how to reply.

His main purpose for this trip was to pursue Yun Wuya, but upon seeing Heart Demon Xiao Liu's plea for help, his intention to come and assist was also genuine.

After a moment of contemplation, Su Mo nodded and said candidly, "That's right. Besides sensing that your clan was in trouble and coming to help, I did indeed... want to see how you were doing."

He paused and added, "Of course, there are also some other matters that need to be handled."

Hearing Su Mo admit that he had come specifically to see her, the joy in Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven's eyes was almost overflowing, like a lake filled with starlight, startlingly bright.

A bright smile bloomed on her stunningly beautiful face, instantly dispelling the paleness and fatigue left by the previous fierce battle.

She nodded vigorously, her voice crisp and filled with joy, "Mm! Xiao Qi is doing very well! It's just... it's just that I've missed you, Su Mo."

Immediately, she remembered the "other matters" Su Mo mentioned and quickly reined in her overly exposed emotions, asking with concern, "What other matters does Su Mo have? Tell me, perhaps my Heart Demon Clan can help! Although the Heart Demon Clan is currently in decline, we have operated in this Heavenly Demon Realm for many years and still have some connections!"

Seeing her agree so eagerly and readily, a faint sense of guilt rose in Su Mo's heart.

Although his trip had elements of concern for her, it was mostly to utilize the Heart Demon Clan's intelligence network to find Yun Wuya.

However, matters having reached this point, there was no need to be overly sentimental.

He smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. I came to the Heavenly Demon Realm mainly to find someone, or rather... a Cultivator."

"Finding someone?" Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven blinked, "Is it a member of the Demon Race from the Heavenly Demon Realm? Or..."

"Someone who came from the Yuanguang Realm." Su Mo's tone deepened slightly, "A Cultivator at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, possessing a special Physique, with immense strength. He formed a deadly enmity with me in the Yuanguang Realm, and after being injured, he used methods to break through the realm and escaped to the Heavenly Demon Realm. I need to find his tracks."

"A Taiyi Golden Immortal? Escaped from the Yuanguang Realm?" Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven's expression also turned serious.

But upon hearing the words "formed a deadly enmity with Su Mo," a flicker of icy chill and sharp killing intent instantly flashed through her beautiful purple eyes!

"Daring to harm Su Mo, becoming an enemy of the benefactor of my Heart Demon Clan for generations..."

Her voice was no longer delicate, but carried a coldness and decisiveness belonging to the master of the Heart Demon Clan, "Even if he is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, I will definitely make him pay the price! Su Mo, rest assured, leave this matter to me! My Heart Demon Clan will definitely exhaust all our efforts to help you find this person's tracks!"

Feeling the unreserved protection and shared hatred in her words, Su Mo's heart warmed, and his tone became even gentler, "Xiao Qi, I appreciate your intentions. But this person's strength is extraordinary; even if severely injured, he is definitely not someone an ordinary Great Demon Lord can contend with. You only need to help me keep an eye out and inquire about his tracks. Once discovered, notify me immediately. Do not engage in any conflict with him to avoid unnecessary casualties."

Seeing Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven open her mouth as if to say something else, Su Mo raised his hand to stop her, his gaze firm, "This is my request, and also an order. Protecting yourself and your clansmen is what is most important. Do you understand?"

Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven looked at Su Mo's unquestionable gaze and finally swallowed the words that had reached her lips, nodding obediently, "Mm, Xiao Qi understands. I will give the order for the clansmen to investigate carefully; we will only transmit information and will not make contact."

To her, Su Mo's words were the highest decree, and she could not bear the slightest thought of refusal.

Just at this moment, Blazing Tyrant's cleanup work below was nearing its end.

The Yanyu Demon Clan army had lost its backbone and, under the terrifying blow of their Clan Chief defecting, their morale had completely collapsed; most were slaughtered, and a few managed to escape.

Those vassal races had long since scattered like birds and beasts.

The crisis of the Heart Demon Clan was temporarily resolved.

Heart Demon Nine Five Two Seven glanced at her clansmen below who were starting to cheer, yet looking toward Su Mo with awe. She took a deep breath and said solemnly to Su Mo, "Su Mo, please follow me into the valley to rest for a while. I will immediately summon the Elders of the clan and the clansmen responsible for intelligence to arrange the mission to search for that Yuanguang Realm Cultivator!"

Su Mo nodded, "Very well."
