Chapter 1731

"In other words, the power currently possessed by our Ma family's Divine Dragon is incomplete?"

"Back when you fought with Jiang Chen, it led to the loss of the World-Purifying Dragon Pearl, which was then eaten by two cats?"

"The Xiao Mi who appeared now and is stealing my business is one of those two cats from back then? Because she ate half of the World-Purifying Dragon Pearl, she was able to take human form and become a cat demon?"

"And it is also because she possesses half of the World-Purifying Dragon Pearl in her body that she can borrow the power of my Ma family's Divine Dragon?"

Inside Lingling Hall, Ma Xiaoling found her great-aunt and finally learned the full story from her great-aunt, Ma Danna.

No wonder Su Xuan said the power of the Ma family's Divine Dragon was not what it used to be.

No wonder the Divine Dragon had no effect when facing the Great Blood Swastika Curse and Jiang Chen. Ma Xiaoling had even thought the Divine Dragon was actually useless; it turns out the Divine Dragon she possessed in her hands right now was not the complete form because it had lost the World-Purifying Dragon Pearl.

All of this was the mess her great-aunt had created.

Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoling could not help but look at her great-aunt with a look of disdain.

Ma Danna felt Ma Xiaoling's gaze and also felt somewhat ashamed.

"Such a big thing, and you're only telling me now?" Ma Xiaoling was still furious. She had previously thought her own power was too weak and that the ancestors of the Ma family were all bragging—with this level of power, they dared to claim they were hunting down Jiang Chen? It turned out she wasn't weak; it was her great-aunt who had prevented her from mastering more powerful strength.

"No, these two cats ate the World-Purifying Dragon Pearl; I must go and retrieve the power of the World-Purifying Dragon Pearl."

Ma Xiaoling quickly made a decision.

"Only by retrieving the World-Purifying Dragon Pearl and letting the power of the Ma family's Divine Dragon return to its peak is it possible to confront Jiang Chen. Besides that, a mere cat demon actually dares to steal business from me—it's truly hateful."

"Xiao Ling, you..." After hearing Ma Xiaoling's words, Ma Danna was startled, and then she hurriedly said, "This must not be done."

"Why? Does Great-Aunt care about the lives of two cat demons? This isn't your usual style, and it's not what you taught me." Ma Xiaoling was somewhat surprised.

Ma Danna spoke up: "Subduing demons and devils is the duty of our Ma family, but Brother Kuang, as well as these two cat demons, all became like this because of our Ma family."

"Back then, if it weren't for these two cat demons and Brother Kuang and Fusheng risking their lives to save me, I would have already died at the hands of Jiang Chen. It is also because of this reason that even though I knew the World-Purifying Dragon Pearl had been eaten by the two cat demons, I never told you about this, nor did I ever think about letting you retrieve the World-Purifying Dragon Pearl."

"These are all debts and karma created by our Ma family, and it should be our Ma family that repays them."

Ma Xiaoling listened to Ma Danna's words, but her expression did not soften at all. She still insisted on her own view, and with a cold face, she said, "If it were in the past, I would have no objection to you wanting to leave the World-Purifying Dragon Pearl with these two cat demons, but now it is different. You probably don't know that I have already met Jiang Chen and fought with him."

"What?" Ma Danna was suddenly shocked upon hearing this news.

Earlier, when she saw Kuang Guohua, she had already learned a shocking piece of news from him.

That was that Jiang Chen had appeared in Hong Kong.

Ma Danna had not expected Ma Xiaoling to clash with Jiang Chen so quickly.

"Jiang Chen's strength is very strong. In front of him, I was knocked down in just one exchange. My Ma family's Divine Dragon didn't even touch the corner of his clothes. Originally, I thought my Ma family's Divine Dragon had a false reputation, but now I know it's because of you."

The more Ma Xiaoling spoke, the more guilty Ma Danna felt.

Ma Xiaoling then said with a solemn expression, "Also, there is one more thing I must tell you."

"The end of the world is coming soon."

After returning from the island nation, Ma Xiaoling had only spoken to He Yingqiu about the end of the world, but she had mostly been exploring news about the Supreme Dao Ancestor and the Demon Star; she had only briefly mentioned the end of the world.

At this moment, it was the first time she had spoken of these things in front of Ma Danna.

Nuwa was about to return to destroy the world, and Jiang Chen was standing firmly by Nuwa's side; both made Ma Danna realize the severity of the situation.

No wonder Ma Xiaoling was insistent on retrieving the World-Purifying Dragon Pearl.

It turned out to be for this reason.

Earlier, Ma Danna had thought Ma Xiaoling was acting on impulse, because Xiao Mi was stealing business from her, and that she only angrily wanted to retrieve the World-Purifying Dragon Pearl after learning of Xiao Mi's origins.

Now, she finally realized that was not the case.

"This really is a massive piece of trouble!"

Ma Danna's expression became solemn.

Even though she was already a dead person and the affairs of the living were not her concern, who told her she was from the Exorcist Dragon Clan Ma family?

That sense of responsibility still lingered in her heart, even after death.

"How could it be like this?"

Inside the Tiandao Group, Jin Weilai looked at the bald man in front of her, as well as Su Xuan beside the bald man, and was very horrified.

In these past few days, she had witnessed the growth of her child with her own eyes.

Although she had long known that the Demon Star would develop relatively quickly.

But this was too fast.

The Demon Star was also a zombie. After being born, he did not drink breast milk, but rather the red crystals provided by the Tiandao Group. Although this stuff was not as good as pure fresh blood, by using it, zombies could overcome the desire to suck blood and feel full. More importantly, this was the headquarters of the Tiandao Group, and Su Xuan supplied this stuff directly without limit.

The result of this was that the Demon Star did not have to worry about food at all.

His development speed was much faster than when he was in the womb.

Two days ago, he was still an infant.

After that, he could crawl, then walk, and speak. In just a few days, he looked like a seven or eight-year-old child, which shocked Jin Weilai immensely.

If she hadn't been watching him grow up the whole time, she wouldn't even have been able to accept that this was her child.

Of course, watching the child grow up and hearing him call her "Mom" was indeed an unprecedented feeling.

Deep down, Jin Weilai had completely accepted the existence of this child.

Even if he was a freak, but thinking about it carefully, as a zombie herself, to a certain extent, wasn't she also a freak?

The reason Jin Weilai said such a thing was because she thought of another matter.

With the child's development speed being so fast, would he grow into an adult in just a few days?

She brought the child to Su Xuan and asked this question.

She then received Su Xuan's answer: "The lifespan of the Demon Star is only three or four months. After three or four months, he will die!"
