377: The changes of the Peach Blossom Demon Lord

The moment the Peach Blossom Demon Lord disappeared, Liu Xuan immediately closed his eyes and sensed the connection with the Love Gu with all his might.

The Love Gu couldn't directly view the other party's memories like the Puppet Gu, but it could sense their location. As time passed, it could also sense her joys and sorrows.

"She didn't teleport directly from the Sect over a long distance, but first teleported in from outside the city."

Liu Xuan sensed that the Peach Blossom Demon Lord's position was rapidly moving from outside the city to the heart of the Peach Blossom Sect, rather than returning directly to the heart of the Peach Blossom Sect.

'As expected!'

Liu Xuan had high attainments in Formations and a slight understanding of spatial teleportation techniques; he had already guessed this just now.

The heart of the Peach Blossom Sect was a hundred thousand miles from Great Sun City. If she had teleported directly, Liu Xuan could have easily destroyed the spatial vortex with his strength.

The Peach Blossom Demon Lord had left, but the three pots of Devourer Flowers were still there. Just like before, they remained motionless, only occasionally breathing in Spiritual Qi.

Liu Xuan stared at them for a long time before finally deciding not to destroy them for the time being.

Judging from what happened this time, even if he destroyed the three pots of Devourer Flowers, he wouldn't be able to stop the Peach Blossom Demon Lord if she wanted to come over. Moreover, it would make him look like he had a guilty conscience.

The Peach Blossom Demon Lord appeared beautiful and moving, with a gentle personality, but Liu Xuan knew in his heart that this was a ruthless person who had lived for nearly two thousand years and wouldn't blink an eye while setting up the Myriad Spirits Grand Array to devour the Souls of billions of living beings. Her gentle demeanor was only because she misunderstood him to have a powerful and mysterious background.

The more guilty one feels, the easier it is to be seen through. What Liu Xuan needed to do was to solidify the fact that he had a powerful background and stabilize the Peach Blossom Demon Lord for a period of time. Once his cultivation reached the Late Golden Core Stage and the effect of the Love Gu improved by a level, whether it was true or false wouldn't matter anymore.

Liu Xuan waved his hand to open the barrier door of the Alchemy Room and instructed Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang, who were guarding the door:

"Da Shuang, arrange for three personal maidservants to carry these three pots of flowers and bring them wherever I go."

"Yes, husband!"

Da Shuang went outside the door to pick three steady-minded maidservants and brought them in, ordering them to take the three pots of Devourer Flowers.

Subsequently, Liu Xuan gathered Xiao Ran, She Xiaorong, Lu Ping, Xia He, and the other women, arranging for them to send people to the Black Leopard Fortress to take charge of receiving a batch of resources.

Liu Xuan didn't tell them the details of the cooperation with the Peach Blossom Sect, only saying it was a cooperation with Shen Yunshu. The person in charge of coordinating with them was also Xiao Changfeng, True Person Xiao.

A few days later.

The first batch of resources sent by the Peach Blossom Demon Lord arrived smoothly, including various Spirit Medicines, spirit fruits, Advanced spirit ores needed for refining Flying Boats, as well as many high-level Yao Beast Essence Blood and flesh.

There was a wide variety, and they were all the resources Liu Xuan needed most right now, all given for free without spending a penny.

Liu Xuan heard from Xiao Changfeng's message that the Peach Blossom Sect had sent the Late Golden Core Stage 'Honey Badger' Silver Pangolin Great Demon to escort the goods, and there were no accidents throughout the process.

Liu Xuan also sent a message to his Revered Master, Shen Yunshu, to coordinate from the inside and outside, ensuring they weren't easily discovered by the Beast Taming Sect.

Besides the army, there were many adventure teams at the front line border, and the personnel were mixed. As long as the regular army wasn't used, it wasn't difficult to fish in troubled waters.

In the rear of the Black Leopard Fortress, away from the front line, Liu Xuan held the position of Northern pacification commissioner, making it easy to operate.

However, the people of the Beast Taming Sect were not fools. It would definitely be impossible to hide it for long, so Liu Xuan had to think of a countermeasure in advance.

This matter itself wasn't actually a big problem. The Peach Blossom Sect was rushing to send him things, and he hadn't done anything to harm the South Courtyard.

As a Personal Disciple of True Lord Haoran and a Third-Rank Alchemist, he could easily settle it.

The problem was how he should explain to the people of the South Courtyard why the Peach Blossom Sect was sending him things after the matter was exposed.

Others aside, if True Lord Haoran personally asked, Liu Xuan would have to give him a plausible reason... the Peach Blossom Sect.

The Peach Blossom Demon Lord returned to the Secret Realm. Viewing from above the Secret Realm, the phantom of a thousand-zhang peach tree gradually solidified, and the aura of the Myriad Spirits Grand Array resumed its smooth operation.

Both the Myriad Spirits Grand Array and the Peach Blossom Secret Realm required the Peach Blossom Demon Lord's true body to act as the core. Once her true body left, both would quickly show reactions.

Above the Secret Realm, the Peach Blossom Demon Lord looked toward the east, north, and west. Five powerful auras peeked at her from time to time.

Even from the direction of the southern Demon Court, there were faint traces of powerful auras peeking. She was truly surrounded by enemies on all sides.

"You are all too greedy! Greed comes with a price."

After saying that, she looked toward the main Sect of the Beast Taming Sect and the depths of the Demon Court, her expression becoming extremely solemn.

The Lord of the Demon Court and the newly promoted Dao Lord of the Beast Taming Sect—these two were the ones she was most worried about.

She had tried to test the attitudes of these two. If one of them could support her Breakthrough, the chance of success would skyrocket.

Unfortunately, neither of them had given her a clear answer, and their intentions remained unknown.

"Bai Leng was right. Even if I'm lucky enough to break through the Soul Transformation Bottleneck, I still have to pass the hurdle of the two Dao Lords. It's almost a certain death!"

She not only had to gamble on that sliver of Soul Transformation Opportunity but also had to gamble that the two Dao Lords wouldn't intervene at a critical moment, or that the two Dao Lords would confront each other, giving her a chance to survive in the cracks.

The chance was too slim! In comparison, she increasingly felt it was better to believe Liu Xuan's boast. No matter what, she had seen the Bloodline Essence Blood in his body with her own eyes; it couldn't be faked.

"This kid Liu Xuan seems unreliable on the surface, but in reality, he is extremely trustworthy and never lies!"

"He was able to help so many women reach Foundation Establishment. His claim of helping me break through to Soul Transformation shouldn't be entirely false."

"He clearly knows I still have a thousand years of Lifespan, yet he says he'll help me reach Soul Transformation within two hundred years. If he really wanted to deceive me, why would he give such a short deadline?"

...The Peach Blossom Demon Lord didn't realize that things favorable to Liu Xuan would unconsciously pop into her mind, while things unfavorable to him would be automatically ignored.

Sometimes she would even imagine that Liu Xuan's appearance was to save her, and that in the future, Liu Xuan would not hesitate to consume a large amount of his life Origin to help her successfully break through!

For such a person who treated her sincerely, she had been doubting his intentions all along. She was truly ungrateful!

"Lü Luo!"

The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt. The Peach Blossom Demon Lord immediately sent a voice transmission to summon Lü Luo. When Lü Luo entered, she took out a jade box.

"These are nine Third-Rank Spirit Peaches. Go to Great Sun City yourself and give them to Liu Xuan."

"Say that this is a small token of this seat's appreciation, and please ask him to accept it!"

"I'm going personally?"

"What about the Sect's affairs?"

Lü Luo was dumbfounded. What kind of hidden identity did Liu Xuan have that made the Peach Blossom Demon Lord value him to such an extent?

"Those trivial matters of the Sect can wait for a while; it's no big deal!"

The Peach Blossom Demon Lord waved her hand and strictly instructed, "Remember, you must not be disrespectful to Liu Xuan, and even more so, do not do anything that would make him unhappy."

"Understood!"

Lü Luo nodded in agreement and put away the nine Third-Rank Spirit Peaches.

The Peach Blossom Demon Lord treated Liu Xuan so uniquely that she was also curious about who this person really was.
