Chapter 2042: Hua Tianqi and Heyan

These pink flames looked like they were drifting down slowly, but for some reason, with a flash, they landed accurately on all the demons below, and even the winged man who was fleeing for his life couldn't escape this disaster.

"Puchi, puchi" sounds rang out loudly. The moment these demons were stained by the pink flames, they erupted with blinding red light, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into wisps of green smoke, disappearing without a trace in the void.

Near the channel, in an instant, only the tall demon shadow was left alone.

This Demon Venerable looked at the crystal flower tree in the high sky, first revealing an unbelievable expression, then bowing down without any hesitation.

"Greetings, Lady Baohua. Ke Yun can still see you in his lifetime, there will be no regrets in this life," the demon shadow actually said excitedly.

"Ke Yun, it has been many years since you last saw me, right?" A light sigh came from the void, and fluctuations arose on the flower tree. One white and one black figure appeared at the same time.

They were the palace-dressed Baohua Sacred Ancestor and the black-armored man.

Baohua looked down at the demon shadow below, a faint look of emotion appearing on her face.

"My Lady, it really is you. Many people rumored that you had fallen. But this subordinate never believed it. With your powers, even if the situation was bad, how could you not have means to save your life?" The demon shadow saw the palace-dressed woman's true form, and there was no doubt in his heart, replying excitedly.

"Hmm, I was beaten down a realm by those two working together back then, and I was forced to break through space and escape to the Spirit Realm with a portion of my subordinates. It is gratifying that you, the Dark Department, have been safe all along. However, to be on the safe side, I still have to check your spiritual sense," Baohua stared at the demon shadow, her beautiful eyes narrowing.

"Yes, my lord! This is naturally as it should be. Those two individuals' divine abilities are not much inferior to yours back then; if they had secretly placed some restriction on me, I truly would not have been able to detect it." The demonic shadow's form trembled slightly, but without a moment's hesitation, he agreed in one breath.

"Good, you know the situation. Get up first."

Baohua's expression relaxed, and her jade feet moved, drifting down slowly from the sky. The black-armored man naturally followed closely behind without saying a word.

The crystal flower tree in the high sky flashed and merged into the woman's body as a pink rosy light.

After the demon shadow stood up, he stood respectfully in place.

At this moment, the demon energy on this Demon Venerable was retracted, and he revealed his true form.

He was actually a middle-aged man with a pair of pitch-black curved horns on his head and a square face!

Baohua Sacred Ancestor didn't say any nonsense. As soon as she arrived in front of the demon shadow, she raised a jade finger without hesitation and pointed slightly at the center of his brows.

With a "puchi" sound, a crystalline thin thread shot out from her fingertip and disappeared into the center of the man's brows in a flash.

Baohua slowly closed her eyes.

The man first revealed a look of pain, but after the essence in his eyes dissipated, he immediately became dazed.

As the crystal thread trembled repeatedly, the man always maintained a blank expression.

Time passed bit by bit!

Suddenly, the palace-dressed woman's brows furrowed slightly. The crystal thread in her hand became golden, and a strange fluctuation surged from the thread, merging into the man's head.

The man let out a muffled groan, and bloodstains appeared from his ears and nose, but they dried up strangely immediately. His face twisted, and from his ears and nose, several gray light spots the size of beans shot out, circling and shooting toward the horizon.

"Stay!"

Baohua's jade face sank. She raised her other jade hand and flicked lightly at those light spots.

Immediately, several crystal threads identical to the previous ones shot out, instantly piercing through those light spots and rolling them back into her sleeves.

However, this woman's movements didn't stop there. After sweeping her eyes over the man's face, she opened her mouth, and several pink light spots flickered into the man's brows, disappearing without a trace.

Only then did the crystal threads shatter inch by inch, turning into dots of white light and disappearing.

The man's expression moved, and the blankness in his eyes retreated, his essence flashing as he regained his sanity.

"Lady Baohua, I..."

"You were indeed secretly planted with an unusually poisonous restriction by them. But rest assured, it's fine now. The restriction has been resolved by me, and I have replaced it with another fake restriction. Unless those two come to probe your body themselves, they will never discover the abnormality," the palace-dressed woman said indifferently.

"Thank you, My Lady, for saving me. Now this subordinate can rest assured. However, why did you appear in this place, My Lady? Although no one can pose a threat to you here, if the news leaks out, it will still be extremely unfavorable to you," the demon shadow thanked her repeatedly and said with some worry.

"I have my own reasons for coming here. Let me ask you first, did anyone enter the node channel behind you just now?" Baohua Sacred Ancestor looked toward the gray channel entrance, her expression somewhat complex.

"A group of foreign race people did break into the channel. Half of them are humans, half are Spirit Race, and they are all above the Body Integration stage, so this subordinate didn't dare to stop them," the man replied honestly, appearing somewhat surprised.

"That's correct. I have a task for you: find a way to cover up the matter of foreign race people breaking into the channel, and don't let the Sacred Realm side know for now. Although this matter cannot be hidden forever, drag it out as long as you can. Can you do this?" Baohua Sacred Ancestor pondered for a moment, then ordered with a cold voice.

"Although this matter is somewhat tricky, the other person monitoring me has already been wiped out by you, My Lady, so I am the only one who can make decisions here. It should be possible to hide the matter here for a year or so," the man said confidently, although he didn't know why.

"That's good. Hei E, let's go in too," Baohua Sacred Ancestor ordered without looking back and flew lightly toward the channel entrance.

This action made the man and Hei E's expressions change drastically.

However, after the former moved his mouth a few times, he didn't say anything and made a gesture of seeing her off. The latter's gaze flickered for a moment, but he gritted his teeth and followed.

After two more rumbles in the channel, the palace-dressed woman and the black-armored man's figures disappeared at the entrance.

And the man stared at the channel entrance for a good while, then swept his gaze over the empty void, a bitter smile appearing on his face.

But after pondering for a moment, he suddenly raised his head and let out a long whistle.

The whistle was high and thick, cracking gold and splitting stone, spreading to the nine heavens!

After a while, figures flashed in the black clouds, and teams of demons riding various demon beasts appeared.

The man saw this, black energy rolled over his body, and he greeted them without hesitation.

At the Demon Realm side of the channel, fluctuations arose, and Baohua Sacred Ancestor and Hei E's figures appeared eerily amidst a flash of gray light. But as soon as they appeared, they were surrounded by the surprised and angry demons who had come up.

Looking at these low-to-mid-tier demons who were mostly injured, the palace-dressed woman just said indifferently to the black-armored man, "Leave it to you," and then her figure moved, disappearing into the nearby void.

As for the black-armored man who was left behind, he swept a circle of surrounding demons, and after finding no Body Integration existences, he let out a ferocious laugh, and rolling demon energy erupted from his body, rolling wildly toward the surroundings.

After a cup of tea's time, on a nameless mountain peak several tens of thousands of miles away, Hei E caught up with Baohua, who had already escaped to this place, and stood respectfully to the side.

"Are you feeling somewhat panicked about me bringing you back to the Sacred Realm!" The palace-dressed woman looked at the black mountain forest stretching across the area and asked suddenly without any emotion.

"This subordinate doesn't dare! Master doing this must have her own reasons," the black-armored man felt a chill in his heart and replied somewhat fearfully.

"You feeling somewhat afraid is natural. Even for me, returning to the Sacred Realm this time is taking a certain risk, and there is even a possibility of falling. After all, Hua Tianqi and Heyan have been thinking about me. Once they discover that I have returned to the Sacred Realm, a hunt is inevitable. And with my current cultivation, I can barely save my life against one of them, but if the two work together, I will definitely die. After all, these two hold the position of Ancestor and have been around longer than me," Baohua withdrew her gaze, looked at Hei E again, and said leisurely.

"Since you know this, My Lady, and still risk entering the Sacred Realm, it must be related to the result of the last divination," Hei E hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously.

"Not bad. But because the divination wasn't completely successful, the hexagram became somewhat incomplete, and even I could only comprehend half of it. But even so, do you know what the hexagram indicated?" The palace-dressed woman stared at Hei E, a strange expression suddenly appearing on her face.

"This subordinate doesn't know anything about divination, so please enlighten me, Baohua Master!" Hei E was startled and couldn't help but give a bitter laugh.

"Since you don't even want to guess, it's fine if you don't know the content of the hexagram. You just need to know that before those people reach their destination, don't disturb them, and don't let them discover our existence. Even to let them reach their destination smoothly, we might have to help them secretly," Baohua said something that made Hei E dumbfounded.

"Since you have said so, My Lady, this subordinate will definitely do as ordered!" Finally, the black-armored man suppressed all the shock and doubt in his heart and said.

"Hmm, you have contributed quite a bit by coming out with me this time. As long as you continue to do your best, even if you encounter a significant bottleneck when advancing to Mahayana in the future, I will naturally help you once I recover my magic power," Baohua looked into Hei E's eyes, a look of solemnity appearing on her face for the first time.
