Chapter 108: Mother and Daughter Reunited

……

"If you don't want them to die here, then behave yourself!" the Ghost Woman said coldly.

"Hand over the Yan Ji!"

Even if she couldn't obtain the Fire Calamity Fruit, she had to obtain the Yan Ji!

If she devoured this newly hatched Yan Ji, perhaps she could also obtain powerful strength just like Jiang Feng!

"Die?" Lv Cheng's expression turned strange.

"What are you talking about?"

"They..." The Ghost Woman's expression stiffened.

Where was the curse?

Where was her curse?!

"You aren't talking about this, are you?" Lv Cheng raised his right hand, picking up the Soul Power that the Ghost Woman had attacked Jiang Shaoxu and the others with.

"This is a curse?"

It was fortunate that he had learned quite a few tricks from Dao Long previously; Curse Magic itself was a form of soul attack, and as a Demon, he could directly grasp souls. Naturally, he could also grasp attacks launched by this kind of Soul Power.

If the Ghost Woman's curse had been launched instantly, it would have been a bit troublesome for him; after all, while a powerful Mind Element Mage could dispel curses, the damage already caused could not be prevented. However, this person actually wanted to use a latent curse to threaten him.

She was truly a genius.

"You..." The Ghost Woman looked at the Soul Power in Lv Cheng's hand in disbelief.

How is that possible?!

A curse could actually be grabbed out?

"Idiot, don't you know I am a Mind Element Mage? Playing with curses in front of me? Are you qualified?" Lv Cheng flicked his hand casually, driving the curse power into the Ghost Woman's body.

Instantly, the Ghost Woman felt as if her own soul were being torn apart by evil spirits; an indescribable pain made her unable to stop herself from roaring.

"Don't scream so unpleasantly." Lv Cheng gripped the empty air, seizing the Ghost Woman by the neck and lifting her into the air, making her unable to emit a single sound.

"Mother!" Chen Ying's expression tightened; just as she was about to stop Lv Cheng, Xinxia grabbed her.

"Chen Ying, that is not your mother." Xinxia looked toward the Flame Demoness standing at the side, who was at a loss.

"She is."

Chen Ying was stunned, "She..."

"Xinxia, explain it to her slowly." Lv Cheng looked at Ai Jiangtu.

"I remember you have the Curse Element as your secondary specialty, right?"

"Mm." Ai Jiangtu nodded.

"Let's go, let me see what the situation is with Curse Magic." Lv Cheng pointed at the Ghost Woman in his hand.

"We have a lab rat right here."

"Alright!" Ai Jiangtu followed.

Although Lv Cheng had already transmitted his voice to him when they first arrived, telling him that this person in white cloth was problematic and to be on guard—if it were an instant-cast Curse Magic, he should just kill her, but if it were latent, he could keep her.

But just now, because he was preparing that large-scale Teleportation to carry people, his Spiritual Power had been exhausted too much. When the three-headed monster snake appeared, his attention had subconsciously been on Ai Tutu, so he really hadn't noticed this person secretly releasing curses on the others.

As they spoke, Lv Cheng and Ai Jiangtu brought the roaring Ghost Woman to a small grove not far away.

Ai Jiangtu very decisively layered Curse Magic onto the Ghost Woman one level after another, while Lv Cheng watched quietly from the side, giving her a shot of adrenaline whenever the Ghost Woman's soul was about to collapse.

"Don't! Don't! I beg you, let me go!"

After nearly ten minutes of repeated torture, the Ghost Woman finally stopped cursing and turned to begging for mercy.

Ai Jiangtu looked at Lv Cheng; the Ghost Woman had been hit by so many of his Curse Magic spells that if it weren't for Lv Cheng using Mind Magic from the side to keep her alive from time to time, this person would have died long ago.

Even if they stopped now, the Ghost Woman would not live past today.

Moreover, with her soul severely damaged, this vicious woman wouldn't be able to cast a single spell.

"I thought you would hold out for a while longer." Lv Cheng was somewhat disappointed and waved his hand; Ai Jiangtu walked away.

"Forget it, as long as you hand over all the savings you have on you, I will spare you."

"Remember, it's all of it. If even one thing is missing, our curse package will be doubled."

Hearing this, the Ghost Woman hurriedly removed the soul imprints from the Magic Tools on her person and honestly handed over all her savings.

"Why are you using this trick again?" Lingling walked over with a strange expression.

Lv Cheng's Mind Magic was truly miraculous; it completely broke free from the limitations of skills. He could manipulate the emotions of all creatures with Spiritual Power lower than his own as he pleased, and he could also make people "become stupid" just like this.

Simply put, whatever Lv Cheng said, this person would believe and follow, without the slightest psychological defense!

Back then, after learning of this ability of Lv Cheng's, her grandfather had given repeated instructions, telling Lv Cheng absolutely not to use this kind of magic outside; otherwise, not only would the Holy City not tolerate him, the entire world would not tolerate him!

Because with Lv Cheng's talent, reaching the Forbidden Curse was almost a certainty. He could already do this kind of thing while only at the Advanced level; by the time he reached the Forbidden Curse, he would probably be able to treat everyone in front of him like dolls that could be manipulated at will!

Who would dare let someone with such terrifying ability live?

"If I didn't do this, she wouldn't cooperate." Lv Cheng shrugged.

"Don't worry, I won't use it in the future."

"If you're going to use it, at least hide it when you do," Lingling said helplessly.

Others might not have noticed, but that Nan Jue had already discovered the anomaly. Just now, Xinxia had told everyone the information Lv Cheng had transmitted into her mind, and Nan Jue also knew that this crazy woman was the Ghost Woman she had been tracking.

A lunatic like this, even until death, would only curse madly and would not be handing things over honestly like this.

"What do you think she will do?" Lv Cheng followed Lingling's gaze toward Nan Jue, who was watching them.

Their eyes met, and Nan Jue hurriedly looked away.

"She..." Lingling's expression turned strange.

"She probably won't do anything."

Lv Cheng's identity was special, and his abilities were also special; speaking out would not benefit anyone.

Furthermore, her grandfather said that since Lv Cheng's parents have been missing for so many years, if they were still alive, given their talent, they should have already reached the Forbidden Curse.

Lv Cheng's father is fine, as he belongs to the steady type, being a former Judge of the Holy Judgment Court.

But Lv Cheng's mother is a Calamity User of the Space Element, and was the notorious "madwoman" of the Different Judgment Court back then; if she were to go mad, her destructive power would be no less than those legendary Emperor-level Demons!

During the previous Hangzhou incident, Pang Lai returned to the Magic Palace halfway through because of the Holy City's affairs, and afterward, the people from the Holy City did not look for Lv Cheng again, all because Pang Lai told the Mages of the Holy City about Lv Cheng's background!

And then, that bunch of arrogant Holy Judgment Mages chickened out!

The affairs of the Holy Judgment Court and the Different Judgment Court belong to world-class secrets; even she cannot find them out and can only learn some information from her grandfather's mouth.

However, a woman who could make her grandfather, a former High Priest, feel apprehensive...

"Ah!!!"

After the Ghost Woman handed over all her savings, a ghostly blue flame ignited out of thin air, and the Ghost Woman immediately let out a miserable scream that echoed through the soul.

Lv Cheng flicked his hand and threw the Ghost Woman into the depths of the Fire Cloud Forest.

"You are..." Lingling's eyes twitched wildly.

"I, Lv, hate being threatened the most in my life," Lv Cheng said indifferently.

"If she dares to do this, she must be prepared for the consequences."

The Soul Fire uses the person's soul as fuel, burning it bit by bit; it will not stop until the soul is burned out, and it cannot be extinguished.

Many of the old tricks of the Black Qi Wizard are still quite fun.

Although the Soul Fire is very dangerous and one might accidentally burn oneself, which is why Black Qi Wizards dare not use this thing, he is a Demon, and a Fire Demon at that; whether it is the soul or fire, both are his strengths.

"..."

Listening to the gradually weakening, shrill screams coming from the forest, everyone's eyes looking at Lv Cheng were extremely complex.

How could this seemingly sunny and cheerful handsome man be so brutal?

The Ghost Woman's matter was resolved, and the Yan Ji was also successfully obtained; although a trivial Zhao Yulin was lost, the joy of the mother and daughter reuniting soon washed away the previous bloodshed.

After all, coming to the Zhuoyuan North Corner during this period, everyone was already prepared to die suddenly at any time, and most of the people in the team did not know Zhao Yulin's group, they were just strangers who walked the same path for a while; even Xinxia would not be so sentimental as to be overly saddened by such a thing.

Moreover, because of Jiang Feng, Chen Ying's relationship with Zhao Yulin at home had not been very good these years, so this incident did not have much impact.

"I am leaving, what will happen to the Xingyu Tianshu?" the Fire Witch Jiang Feng asked worriedly.

"Rest assured, this place is already my territory," Lv Cheng said.

"I have already notified the Demons here, and without the Heavenly Tribulation Fire, this piece of Zhuoyuan will soon become desolate, and very few people will run towards this side again."

"Besides, my security guards are already prepared."

Just as the mother and daughter were reuniting here, Shendu had already gone to deal with that Sand-Bewildering Bone Dragon in the Sha Wang River.

Now, waiting for Tso Lan to prepare the materials and expand the Sha Wang River to become the moat of the Zhuoyuan North Corner, this place will truly become his territory!

Although he cannot directly trigger the Heavenly Tribulation Fire at the moment, it does not mean he cannot in the future; he has already injected his own soul energy into the Xingyu Tianshu, and the Yan Ji born in the future will all regard him as their father.

That is to say, when he can trigger the Heavenly Tribulation Fire, the Yan Ji Legion will be born, and this land will be the training ground for the Yan Ji Legion.

In addition, this special fire life form, the Yan Ji, can also be used as a reference when cultivating the Evil Dragon Legion.

Tso Lan has already taken some of the branches and leaves of the Xingyu Tianshu and a little bit of the Yan Ji's blood back for research; if he could fuse the bloodlines of this Elemental Demon, the Yan Ji, and the Evil Dragon...

It should be very interesting.
