372: What's going on with the Peach Blossom Demon Lord?

Liu Xuan had left his Essence Blood inside Immortal Master Bone Fiend, making him a Puppet Incarnation just like Xiao Changfeng, which allowed him to directly take over his body at critical moments.

"Clang! Clang!" Immortal Master Bone Fiend struck his wrists together, creating a sound like metal clashing.

"This body's precious bones have been tempered by the Great Sun True Fire, and it has been infused with my Essence Blood, so it is quite handy to use!"

Liu Xuan calculated the location using the genealogy within his Divine Soul, and he was stunned again; his daughter, Ling Lu, was actually in the Forbidden Ground of the Peach Blossom Sect, the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, which, according to Immortal Master Bone Fiend's memories, was the residence of the Peach Blossom Demon Lord.

'The one who kidnapped my daughter is the Peach Blossom Demon Lord?!!'

'Could it be...'

'She is coming for me!!'

What kind of status did the Peach Blossom Demon Lord have? She was a Late Nascent Soul Stage Demon Lord, a super big shot qualified to attempt a Breakthrough to Hua Shen Demon Saint. If she really had captured Ling Lu, there was only one possibility: Liu Xuan himself had attracted her attention.

'Is it really necessary? It was just a bit of Yao Beast Essence Blood, yet it made the dignified Peach Blossom Demon Lord stoop to kidnapping!'

Since he had already attracted the other party's attention, Liu Xuan couldn't be bothered to hide anymore. Judging by Green Luo's attitude, they probably never trusted Immortal Master Bone Fiend in the first place.

Immortal Master Bone Fiend flew through the air and went directly to the Peach Blossom Sect's General Affairs Hall to request an audience with Green Luo.

After a few reports, Immortal Master Bone Fiend successfully met with Grand Elder Green Luo.

"Fellow Daoist Bone Fiend, what is the urgent matter for which you wish to see me?" Green Luo asked.

"Greetings, Grand Elder. I have an urgent matter and wish to see the Sect Master. Could you please pass on a message for me?"

"You want to see the Sect Master?"

She had only captured Liu Xuan's daughter a few days ago, and now Immortal Master Bone Fiend was acting abnormally; this person definitely had problems!

"Wait here; I will pass the message for you immediately!"

In normal times, it would definitely not be this simple for Immortal Master Bone Fiend to see the Peach Blossom Demon Lord, but Green Luo noticed that the Peach Blossom Demon Lord attached great importance to Liu Xuan, and since Immortal Master Bone Fiend was very likely Liu Xuan's person, she dared not delay.

Peach Blossom Secret Realm.

When the Peach Blossom Demon Lord heard that Immortal Master Bone Fiend requested an audience, she was stunned. If it was not a coincidence, then her actions had attracted the attention of the existence behind him!

For a split second, her heart panicked. The other party possessed Divine Beast Bloodline and wielded a Tier 5 Spirit Treasure; he was very likely a Spirit Transformation Dao Lord—no! It was possible he was a super big shot who transcended this realm!

'I was still too impatient! I shouldn't have verified the other party's identity so quickly.'

A trace of regret was instantly dispelled. When dealing with an existence of such a super big shot level, she had already prepared herself to be discovered when she sent Green Luo to take action.

The Beast Taming Sect did not leave her much time. At most five years; she would either forcibly achieve a Soul Transformation Breakthrough, or she would die and her Dao would dissipate, turning into cultivation resources for others.

The situation had been pushed to this point by her. The Demon Court and the Beast Taming Sect seemed to be cooperating with her actions, but in reality, she was just a fattened lamb waiting to be slaughtered, just waiting to be divided and devoured.

She had spent many years planning along the general trend, risking a nine-in-ten chance of death, all for the sake of finding a glimmer of Soul Transformation Opportunity. If she succeeded, she would jump out of the dead end; if she failed, everything would be over!

Everything was proceeding normally, but then Liu Xuan, this variable, appeared. She had to figure out the specific situation as soon as possible, otherwise, she might not even have the chance to gamble on that last bit of Opportunity.

"It was only a slim chance of survival to begin with. Now that there is an extra variable, perhaps it is a good thing!"

Thinking of this, the Peach Blossom Demon Lord smiled sweetly and instructed Green Luo: "Invite him in!"

"Yes!"

Green Luo exited the Secret Realm and soon returned, leading Immortal Master Bone Fiend, who was dressed in a black robe.

As soon as he entered the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, the dense Spiritual Qi accompanied by a faint floral fragrance made Liu Xuan feel refreshed, even though he was only borrowing the Puppet Gu.

It was a Tier 4 High Grade Spiritual Vein; he could faintly perceive the pure and extremely dense Spiritual Qi underground.

Soon, Green Luo brought him to a vine chair, and a woman wearing a light pink dress immediately attracted all of his attention.

This woman's face was like Peach Blossoms in full bloom, her eyebrows and eyes contained spring and flirtatiousness, her lips were moist as if stained with morning dew, her eyes were clear as water, and though she wore no makeup, her skin was like congealed fat. Gentleness, purity, enchanting charm, and cleanliness were all fused into one body; she was truly peerlessly moving!

'What a beautiful person! Why does she have to be a tree demon?'

'What can a tree demon even do?'

"Disciple pays respects to the Sect Master!" Liu Xuan came back to his senses and bowed. Now was not the time to think about such things. While speaking, his gaze turned to his daughter, Ling Lu, who was beside the Peach Blossom Demon Lord.

Looking at his daughter's state, the Peach Blossom Demon Lord had not done anything to her; she was even holding a Spirit Fruit and gnawing on it.

"Green Luo said you had an urgent matter to request an audience. Speak, what is it?"

While Liu Xuan was observing the Peach Blossom Demon Lord, she was also observing Immortal Master Bone Fiend. She had seen the look in Immortal Master Bone Fiend's eyes just now, but she did not point it out.

"I will not hide it from the Sect Master; actually, I have already defected to the Beast Taming Sect. This time, I request an audience..." He looked at Ling Lu, who was gnawing on a fruit and listening curiously on the side, "It is to take this young lady back."

"Me?"

Ling Lu put down the fruit in her hand and said pleasantly: "Did Father send you here, right?"

Immortal Master Bone Fiend did not answer Ling Lu's question but turned his head to look at the Peach Blossom Demon Lord, waiting for her reply.

Whether he could save Ling Lu and bring her back depended entirely on the Peach Blossom Demon Lord; Liu Xuan was waiting for her to set the conditions.

She was providing Ling Lu with good food and drink and had no intention of harming her, so she must be wanting to negotiate conditions with him.

As long as it was not a condition that touched his bottom line, Liu Xuan could agree, and he could just take revenge later.

"I think you must have misunderstood!" The Peach Blossom Demon Lord smiled, and it seemed as if the light in the Secret Realm became much brighter. She said gently: "I have no intention of harming Ling Lu; tell your Revered Master to rest assured!"

Revered Master?!!

Immortal Master Bone Fiend's expression suddenly stiffened; the Peach Blossom Demon Lord had seen through his identity as a Puppet!!

'No wonder! No wonder she sent people to kidnap Ling Lu.'

The Peach Blossom Demon Lord did not pay attention to the change in Immortal Master Bone Fiend's expression. She reached out and took Ling Lu's hand, saying gently: "I felt like old friends at first sight with the girl Ling Lu, and I intend to take her as my Disciple."

She looked at Ling Lu and asked: "I wonder if you are willing, little girl?"

"Hmm..."

Seeing Ling Lu hesitate, the Peach Blossom Demon Lord smiled and added: "If you take me as your Revered Master, I will give you many delicious and fun things, and in a few days, I will send you back. If you miss me in the future, you can come and play with me at any time."

"Alright then!" Ling Lu thought for a moment, "But you must send me back as soon as possible. I am afraid that Father, Mother, and Sister Ling Meng will be worried!"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

"I will send you back the day after tomorrow. By then, as your Revered Master, I will prepare a gift for your Father, Mother, and Sister as an apology. How about that?"

"Great!" Ling Lu beamed with joy. Her eyes rolled, and she pulled the Peach Blossom Demon Lord and said: "Auntie Peach Blossom, why don't you stop being my Revered Master and be my Father's Dao Companion instead? I will call you Auntie."

"That won't do; I haven't even met your father."

"It doesn't matter; my father is super handsome. You will definitely like him when you see him!"

...

Liu Xuan, who was possessing Immortal Master Bone Fiend on the side, listened in a daze, completely unable to figure out the situation.

What is going on with the Peach Blossom Demon Lord?

What happened to the kidnapping and negotiating conditions? Why is she spouting nonsense with the little girl?!
