Chapter 416: She Is Already the Demon Queen

After activating the Spirit Gathering Array, Lu Xun did not just wait idly.

He wanted to find the friend of his master's wife Ahui; through that person, Lu Xun could then find the Eighth Boundary Heavenly Demon King.

His master's wife had already given Lu Xun a map.

Lu Xun flew into the sky, found a reference point, then followed the map there.

Ahui's friend was in a flower valley.

The flower valley was shrouded in mist, preventing Lu Xun from seeing inside clearly.

After reaching outside the mist, Lu Xun took out the petal Ahui had given him and loudly said, "I am Ahui's friend, I have come to visit Lady Ziqiang."

There was no echo inside the flower valley.

Lu Xun then repeated it two more times.

Finally.

A flower spirit the size of a fist, with wings, like a little elf, flew out.

The flower spirit examined Lu Xun's face, then turned its gaze to the petal in his hand.

"Lady Ziqiang is in the heavens; if you want to see her, come back after the Dark Energy Tide ends. For now we don't know where she is, but when she returns we will tell her."

The flower spirit said.

"Alright, may I ask your honorable surname, miss?"

Lu Xun asked politely.

"You can just call me Cai'er. Alright, I'm going in; Lady Ziqiang doesn't let me talk to strangers."

Having said that, she vibrated her wings and flew into the mist.

Alright.

All we can do is wait for the Dark Energy Tide to end before coming again.

We're already on Yao Xing; there's no rush for now.

Lu Xun returned again to the region that the Ancient God had gnawed away, and completely absorbed the Dark Energy gathered by the Spirit Gathering Array.

These Dark Energies, Lu Xun could also collect.

However, he still has plenty of Dark Energy on hand; this unexpected Dark Energy, Lu Xun intends to use to strengthen himself a bit.

"There is battle."

Lu Xun raised his head to look at the sky.

In the space of Yao Xing, a battle occurred.

"Starspace Alien Species."

The attackers are Starspace Alien Species, and their numbers are not small.

"This Yao Xing... actually directly charged into a Spirit Realm."

After Lu Xun used the Heavenly Dao Eye to make a rough observation, he discovered that Yao Xing likely had directly charged into a Spirit Realm.

The grade of this Spirit Realm is not low; it is probably an eight- or nine-star Spirit Realm.

No wonder the Dark Energy Tide on Yao Xing is so thick.

The price is that Yao Xing suffers continuous attacks from the Starspace Alien Species.

Compared to Lan Xing, Yao Xing acts more boldly, venturing into dangerous places.

There's no way around it; their strength is greater, and they possess many things Lan Xing lacks.

For example, the Starspace Teleportation Array built by Yao Xing does not exist on Lan Xing now.

The Starspace Alien Species keep attacking relentlessly, but they are all repelled by Yao Xing's strong ones.

"Actually, that's just fine."

Now Lu Xun doesn't have to worry about his Spirit Gathering Array being discovered.

After all, it's on the surface of Yao Xing.

If it weren't for the Yao Xing strong ones focusing their attention here, plus this area having been gnawed clean by the Ancient God, Lu Xun's grandiose Spirit Gathering Array to gather Dark Energy would still have a noticeable chance of being detected.

Time passed day by day.

After more than ten days, the Dark Energy Tide on Yao Xing began to weaken.

"That's enough."

Lu Xun was not greedy.

As soon as the Dark Energy Tide weakened, he quickly gathered up the Spirit Gathering Array and left the area.

This harvest was greater than his harvest over twenty-odd days on Lan Xing, many times greater.

The Dark Energy Lu Xun obtained amounted to over ten thousand cubic units!

The time was still a bit short; otherwise there would have been even more.

Such a vast amount of Dark Energy is not inferior to a single harvest from the Ancient God.

Lu Xun's God's Left Hand thereby became stronger.

"Lady Ziqiang should have returned by now, right?"

Lu Xun again headed to the flower valley where Lady Ziqiang was.

Lady Ziqiang is indeed Ahui's friend; her true form is a purple rose.

After arriving outside the flower valley, Lu Xun did as before, took out the petal, and said, "I am Ahui's friend; I have come to visit Lady Ziqiang."

"Come in."

Inside, a faint voice sounded.

Immediately after, the mist enveloping the flower valley opened a passage.

Lu Xun stepped forward and walked inside.

The mist in Flower Valley grew denser and denser.

These mists should have a visual shielding effect; ordinary cultivators of the sixth or seventh level who enter cannot see much.

Not long after, the path reached its end.

Ahead appeared a large stone, on which stood a stone pavilion, inside which stood a woman wearing a purple long dress.

"As expected of a flower demon."

Upon seeing the woman's appearance, Lu Xun couldn't help but praise her.

Flower demons seem to be born as beautiful as flowers, with lovely faces and moon-like beauty.

The flower demon named Cai Er, whom we had seen before, was also there, fluttering her wings and flying back and forth beside the woman in purple.

"Are you Miss Zi Qiang? This is a token given to me by Ah Hui."

Lu Xun took out the petal.

Zi Qiang extended her hand and gently summoned the petal over, then lightly sniffed it.

"What is your relation to Ah Hui?"

Then she asked.

"Ah Hui is my master's wife."

Lu Xun told the truth.

"Master's wife... so you're saying you're human?"

Her gaze suddenly turned sharp.

"Zi Qiang elder sister, he is a person... a human?"

Cai Er jumped in fright, covered her small mouth, her eyes full of shock.

"Not bad."

Lu Xun admitted it.

"What great gall, a human daring to enter Yao Xing; you humans are truly audacious."

Zi Qiang's eyes were full of cold intent.

Lu Xun, however, was not frightened.

"Miss Zi Qiang, my master's wife said you would surely help me, and I also believe you will definitely help me; if you truly are unwilling to help, I will leave now."

Lu Xun used retreat as a means to advance.

Zi Qiang fell silent.

After a moment, she let out a long sigh and said, "Speak, what do you want to do?"

"I have been poisoned with love poison; I must find the Blood Crabapple Demon King and obtain her pollen to cure it, so I ask for your help."

Lu Xun stated his purpose.

The Blood Crabapple Demon King, that is, the Eighth Boundary Heavenly Demon King whose true form is the Understanding Speech Flower.

"Blood Crabapple Demon King? You've come too late."

Zi Qiang said.

"Why?"

Lu Xun asked.

"A year ago, her cultivation broke through, and she has become a Demon Emperor."
