Chapter 185: Six-Winged Golden Cicada

Ci Tie, he actually died!

Bai Ze, who had already mastered a portion of the formation's authorization rights, immediately gathered all the demons together again.

What she didn't expect was that, among the ten great demon commanders, besides Fei Tan, who was strangled to death by star power, even the mighty Ci Tie had already died.

Save me, Fellow Daoist Bai Ze, save me!

Just then, Bai Ze heard a cry for help.

With a light flick of his finger, the next moment the starry sky twisted, and Bai Ze suddenly saw that the white-clad maiden was being chased by a Six-Winged Golden Cicada.

Ancient ferocious bug, Six-Winged Golden Cicada, how could such a thing appear here?

Bai Ze's face changed; one must know that the Six-Winged Golden Cicada's fierce reputation was renowned even in ancient times.

This creature can devour all living beings, and is impervious to blades and spears, water and fire; wherever it passes, it is a scene of suffering for all living things!

So even Bai Ze, upon seeing the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, turned a little pale.

With a light flick of his finger, star power swept up, instantly wrapping the white-clad maiden.

At the same time, several stars, like meteors, smashed toward the Six-Winged Golden Cicada.

Suddenly losing its target, the Six-Winged Golden Cicada flew into a rage, opening its huge maw; its terrifying mouthparts directly crushed several stars into powder.

This guy really is as ferocious as the rumors say!

The white-clad maiden looked at this scene, still feeling lingering fear, and patted her full belly of bear jerky.

Bai Ze glanced at the white-clad maiden; perhaps because she was being chased by the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, her clothing had several tears, revealing a patch of snow‑white skin.

Unexpectedly, this cute and lovely little lass turned out to be quite well‑endowed.

It seemed she noticed Bai Ze's gaze; she grinned, deliberately puffed out her chest, and said, 'Fellow Daoist Bai Ze, are you envious of this poor Daoist?'

Hearing this, Bai Ze showed a hint of helplessness and said, 'How did you provoke such an ancient ferocious bug?'

'How would I know?'

The white-clad maiden spread her hands and said, 'I was just staying put, doing nothing; this golden cicada came running to eat me, so I naturally ran away. By the way, this ferocious bug isn't your doing, Fellow Daoist Bai Ze, is it?'

'No!'

Bai Ze's face looked grim as she watched the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, having finished chewing the stars, charge again at the two of them; she knew this matter might be far more complicated than she had anticipated.

Besides the sudden appearance of Lord Di Jun and Lord Chang Xi, there might also be a third party involved.

And now, the biggest problem is that Bai Ze doesn't even know the origins of this third party.

'If the lurking fellow messes up Lord Di Jun's plan, that would be terrible; this lass cannot die!'

Thinking this, Bai Ze, on one hand, used star power to block the charging Six-Winged Golden Cicada, and on the other, activated a formation to send the white-clad maiden elsewhere.

……

'Are you Tai Bai?'

Seeing the white-clad maiden appear before her, Queen Jiang couldn't help but stare.

'Great God Chang Xi!'

The white‑clad maiden, seeing Queen Jiang before her, couldn't help but exclaim.

'How is that possible? Your karma hasn't been cleared, so why have you regained your true spirit?'

Chang Xi descended to the mundane world to eliminate her karma, returning to the position of Lunar Star Lord; this is the script arranged by the Heavenly Realm.

However, the white‑clad maiden could tell at a glance that Queen Jiang before her had already restored Chang Xi's true spirit.

'What exactly went wrong?'

The white‑clad maiden smelled a strong whiff of conspiracy; after all, changes in heavenly secrets are never accidental.

'Tai Bai, you mean all these changes in the demon court are your doing?'

Queen Jiang seemed to understand who the performer mentioned by Ao Yifan actually was.

'This...'

Tai Bai Jinxing said somewhat embarrassedly, 'It's not that the Heavenly Realm lacks manpower; I was planning to recruit some personnel for Your Majesty, right?'

'So you set your sights on the demon court?'

Queen Jiang said with a stern face, 'Do you really not fear the blame of Saint Nuwa for doing this?'

'Saint Nuwa?'

Tai Bai Jinxing shook his head and said, 'In fact, long ago Saint Nuwa stopped caring about the demon race; as for the past protection of the demon court, that was merely the demon court's wishful thinking.'

Hearing this, Queen Jiang's face grew even grimmer.

In fact, all these years she has remained on the Lunar Star and has not come out, so she no longer understands many changes.

Therefore, she is also not clear about Saint Nuwa's attitude toward the demon court.

Now, according to Tai Bai Jinxing, Saint Nuwa seems to have long abandoned the demon court.

Thus, the demon court, deprived of Saint Nuwa's protection, is in the eyes of all major powers nothing more than a lamb awaiting slaughter.

'Great God Chang Xi, I don't know—was it you who once deployed the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation?'

Just then, the white‑clad maiden spoke up.

'Not bad!'

Queen Jiang did not deny it; after all these years, her strength has recovered, and she no longer needs to fear investigation by the Heavenly Realm.

'So that's how it is; it looks like I can finally return to the Heavenly Realm to make my report!'

The white‑clad maiden nodded, and then she took out a paper effigy.

But just as the white‑clad maiden was about to use a secret method to leave, suddenly a voice came from behind her——

'Fellow Daoist, since you've come, let's have a good chat; why rush to leave?'

'Who is it?'

Hearing that voice, the white‑clad maiden was greatly startled; she never expected someone could appear silently behind her without her knowing.

At the same time, a scorching feeling came from the hand.

"You actually broke my puppet doppelgänger technique!"

The white-clad girl was shocked.

You should know, as she walks the Three Realms, her greatest reliance is this puppet doppelgänger technique.

Relying on this technique, the incarnation of Tai Bai Jinxing can travel; even if encountering mortal danger, she can retreat unharmed.

However, this technique has a drawback: it requires diverting a thread of Primordial True Soul into the doppelgänger; only then can the doppelgänger exert the full power of the main body.

If the doppelgänger is killed, one only needs to promptly retrieve the doppelgänger paper effigy, undo the secret technique, and that thread of Primordial True Soul can instantly return to the main body, resulting in no loss.

Now that the puppet doppelgänger technique has been broken, it means that if the doppelgänger is killed, her thread of Primordial True Soul will also be worn away.

You should know, the Primordial True Soul is the origin of an immortal deity; losing even a bit causes great harm to the main body.

Unless forced, the white-clad girl would absolutely not be willing to let her thread of Primordial True Soul suffer loss.

"Fellow Daoist, if there's anything to say, we can talk it out nicely; why must it come to this?"

She waved her hand, scattering the ashes of the doppelgänger paper effigy in her hand, and the white-clad girl looked at Ao Yifan, who had appeared behind her at some unknown time, and said.

"No wonder you're Tai Bai Jinxing; just this composure in crisis explains why the Heavenly Realm Sovereign holds you in such high regard."

Ao Yifan smiled and said: "I don't know, Fellow Daoist Tai Bai, are you interested in making a deal with me?"
