Chapter 164: The Noble Family's Qin Ling

How is this possible? Why is he looking in my direction?

The great female demon felt a massive shock in her heart.

She was separated by a sealing grand array, and the gaze from just a moment ago had not revealed any malice. By all Reason, this mysterious powerhouse should not have been able to notice her.

Could it be that this was just a coincidence?

Thinking of this, her heart eased slightly.

But the next moment, she stiffened again, because this mysterious powerhouse was coming toward her. Moreover, the trajectory was almost a straight line; the intent was clearly very strong!

At this moment, all hope in her heart vanished, and she gave a bitter smile.

It seems that what must come will come eventually; there is no escaping it.

She composed her mood, let her expression return to calm, and at the same time dispersed the Yin Qi surrounding her body, letting her figure return to its natural state; set against her beautiful face, she appeared as ethereal as an immortal.

Following that, with a movement of her mind, her image appeared in the outside world.

Li Heng was currently pondering the matter of the Chaos of Luck, but unable to find a solution, he could only temporarily press this matter to the bottom of his heart and wait until later. He was very close to the great female demon's seal, so he planned to go and pay a visit.

But he did not expect that the great female demon was quite sensible and had appeared directly?

"I am Qin Ling, I have met you, Senior."

The great female demon named Qin Ling bowed to Li Heng, fully displaying the demeanor of a noble, rather than that of a great demon Weird surrounded by Yin Qi and Magic Qi.

"Oh, so your name is Qin Ling?"

"I had thought that you, this great female demon, had no name."

Li Heng smiled dismissively.

Qin Ling was startled; it turned out this mysterious powerhouse also knew her true nature, and all those disguises she had just used were completely unnecessary.

"Senior is joking," she said awkwardly.

"What, weren't you planning to break the seal and come out just now? Why do you have time to run out and see me now?" Li Heng said with a look that was not quite a smile, piercing through Qin Ling's intentions at a glance.

Qin Ling was greatly alarmed; what was going on here?

It was one thing for this mysterious powerhouse to know she was watching. Why did he even know she intended to break the seal? This was separated by a thick sealing grand array, and she hadn't even begun to take much action!

Could it be that this mysterious powerhouse had just drilled inside the grand array to watch her personally? This thought rose in her heart, but then she felt it was extremely absurd. Just a moment ago, this mysterious powerhouse was still fighting with that Great Innate of the noble family; how could he have the ability to run over here?

"I will not hide it from you, Senior; I do not intend to go out anymore."

Qin Ling said solemnly.

"Truly?"

"That is correct, truly!"

"Very well, then swear an oath to Heaven and Earth now that you will never go out again, otherwise you will be struck by lightning and rejected by Heaven and Earth, how about that?"

Hearing this, Qin Ling was stunned and fell into an awkward silence.

This was not how she had expected things to unfold!

He was actually asking her to swear an oath? Could it be that this mysterious powerhouse was here to seal her? But the ones who had sealed her in the past were clearly the noble families, and this powerhouse had just fought a great battle with a Great Innate of the noble families.

The two sides were clearly not of the same ilk.

"What, are you feeling guilty? Afraid, and dare not swear?"

Li Heng smiled as he pressed the great female demon with his gaze.

Qin Ling gritted her teeth and spoke slowly.

"What does Senior want to do?"

"What do I want to do? Evil Demons and crooked paths should be purged by everyone; what do you think I want to do?" Li Heng asked back with a strange expression.

Qin Ling gave a bitter smile at these words; she was indeed an Evil Demon of a crooked path. But even facing such a powerhouse—a powerhouse who could suppress and kill a Great Innate, someone she could not defeat even in her peak period—she did not want to swear an oath.

Without freedom, one might as well die; it was that simple.

"It seems you really do not want to swear an oath, and truly want to go out."

Li Heng said softly.

"Originally, given this mindset of yours, and being a great demon Weird, I should have killed you with a single punch. But since you have put in some effort even if you have no merit, then let me ask you..."

He stared at this Qin Ling, his expression incomparably serious.

"Twenty years ago, were the people of Jing Village killed by you?"

Li Heng was not an extreme racist, but he would not let go of any Evil Demon Weird that slaughtered the human race, even if the other party was breathtakingly beautiful; it was not as if he had never killed a woman before.

Qin Ling was stunned at the question; Jing Village?

Her memory drifted back twenty years in an instant, her eyes somewhat distant, as if she had fallen into recollection.

"You speak of Jing Village."

"The people of Jing Village were not killed by me, but they died because of me."

A thousand lies drifted through her mind, but in the end, she chose to tell the truth and said in a deep voice.

"How do you explain that?"

"That small village named Jing Village was too close to the location where I was sealed. To prevent future trouble and stop me from tempting them into falling, the noble families killed them."

Li Heng frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Then did you have the intention to tempt them into falling?"

Qin Ling was silent upon hearing this, then spoke again.

"I did, but I didn't have time to do it."

"Then why did Jing Village turn into a Ghost Village some time ago?"

"Their unwilling resentment still existed after twenty years, and when the Yin Qi was thick, I naturally had to make use of the waste, letting them form a Ghost Village, which could also prevent others from disturbing me here."

Qin Ling continued to tell the truth.

"Then, apart from that, have you killed any other humans?"

"That naturally exists, for instance my own kin, but I do not consider them innocent; otherwise, how could I, once a genius of a noble family, have fallen into becoming a Weird demon?"

She gave a self-deprecating smile.

Li Heng heard this and fell into deep thought.

He could sense that this great female demon was not lying, but he could not believe everything either; there were certainly some artful omissions in her words, avoiding the heavy to focus on the light, reducing her own culpability.

These sins, added to the fact that the great female demon had taught the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus so much, meant that with the two factors combined and offsetting each other, there was no need to kill her.

However, guilt is still guilt, and it could not be completely offset.

After pondering for a moment, he thought of a way to maximize the benefits and immediately spoke. "I can spare your life, but you must do your job well, teach that Yin Demon Primordial Fetus properly, and pass on all your skills and everything you possess to her."

"Once the teaching is complete, I will consider letting you go."

First, drain this great female demon of everything she has.

Decide whether to kill her or not later.

The great female demon was slightly startled upon hearing this. Yin Demon Primordial Fetus?

This mysterious expert was targeting the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus? Her heart instantly turned cold. The great female demon did not doubt how this mysterious expert noticed the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus. Since he could see her within the great formation just now, he could naturally see the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus as well.

But... she had wanted to rely on the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus in the future!

Now that the teaching was almost done, was she going to be intercepted by someone else?

Qin Ling felt like collapsing inside, feeling somewhat disarrayed.

"What, are you unwilling? If you are unwilling, it doesn't matter; I will kill you, take the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus, and raise her myself."

Li Heng smiled slightly.

Qin Ling, however, felt an irrepressible murderous aura and baleful aura from this slight smile. It was as if if she did not agree, this mysterious expert would truly strike and suppress her to death within the great formation.

"I agree, I agree," she replied, feeling aggrieved.

"That is not enough, swear an oath."

Li Heng said indifferently.

"Fine, I swear..." Qin Ling had already recognized her situation; others were the knife and chopping board, and she was the fish and meat, so she had to bow her head. However, as long as it was not acknowledging another as her master or selling her freedom, it was manageable.

"Since you have sworn the oath, I will arrange the rest properly."

"The Yin Demon Primordial Fetus will become the Righteous God of this place, protecting the humans of the Sanshan Gathering here; you must not obstruct this. During this period, you may also feel free to instill demonic nature into the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus."

"If you can truly succeed in turning her into a demon, that is your own ability, how about it?" Li Heng smiled slightly.

Qin Ling was overjoyed upon hearing this; was that not simple?

Which newborn deity could withstand the instillation of Yin energy and demonic nature? This mysterious expert was simply being arrogant! Even if the expert had a backup plan, at worst she would bring out her final trump card!

Li Heng saw this and smiled slightly.

That's more like it; do not force employees to work, but mobilize their enthusiasm and give them hope. Although, under the suppression of the Great Sun Supreme Essence, the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus had absolutely no possibility of turning into a demon...

But looking at Qin Ling, who was happy inside but wanted to suppress her happy expression and not reveal it on her face, Li Heng still felt it was better not to tell her this; one must have hope, right?

"Alright, go back to the great formation and teach her obediently."

Li Heng gave a casual pat, directly slapping Qin Ling back into the great formation. He thought for a moment and added a layer of Great Sun Divine Intent outside the sealing formation to prevent Qin Ling from finding a loophole and breaking the seal instantly.

He nodded slightly; although he did not understand the great formation.

He had stronger means, after all.

Qin Ling was stunned for a while before realizing she had been quietly slapped back into the formation, and she could not help but feel terrified. What kind of strength did that expert have? To be so Terror-inducing, could he be a Great Innate expert?

She looked again at the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus, who was constantly absorbing Yin energy and practicing the Calling Demon Sutra. Her expression was complex, and then she revealed a look of determination. Although her strength was not as good as that expert's, she had a thousand ways!

And become the Righteous God of this place, protecting the humans? Watch me turn her into an evil god! She thought triumphantly in her heart...

Li Heng ignored Qin Ling's thoughts. With the Great Sun Supreme Essence suppressing her and the Yin Demon Primordial Fetus monitoring her every move at close range, this great female demon was like a monkey unable to escape the Five Fingers Mountain, not worth worrying about.

Compared to that, it was better to hurry back to Bei'an City.

See what information remained in that broken Official Seal.

At this time, Bei'an City.

Ma Suxuan had already descended from the clouds and returned to the ground. Meng Lingyun, who was waiting anxiously nearby, immediately approached. "Suxuan, what is the situation now? Who won and who lost?"

Ma Suxuan pondered slightly upon hearing this, then spoke.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that Ye Family Third Young Master will definitely lose."

"And if something unexpected happens?"

"Then that Ye Family Third Young Master will die."

Meng Lingyun was puzzled upon hearing this; what kind of answer was that? Does it mean that whether something unexpected happens or not, we are guaranteed to win? Was the mysterious person that strong?

Ma Suxuan saw Meng Lingyun's confusion and could not help but smile and shake her head.

"You didn't observe from close range just now, so you have no idea how strong that mysterious expert is. Being able to suppress and beat the Innate Level Ye Family Third Young Master is not something an ordinary person can do."

"Follow me, I want to verify a guess."

She took Meng Lingyun's hand and headed straight for the Inner City, entering the Demon Suppression Division, which made Meng Lingyun very strange. What was inside the Demon Suppression Division that could verify a guess?

She saw her walk straight into Li Heng's courtyard.

Only to see the courtyard gate wide open.

The two of them saw Li Heng drinking tea in the courtyard at a glance.
