Chapter 780: Demon Traces

Inside the side hall of the Elf Temple, Lingyun and Nangong Nayue sat opposite each other, each holding a cup of black tea in their hands.

"Lately, the entire God-Given Continent has been a bit chaotic!" Nangong Nayue muttered, while simultaneously extending the cup in her hand to the side. "Ashtarte, please bring me another cup."

Behind Nangong Nayue, Ashtarte, dressed in a maid outfit, stood motionless, but a limb composed of rainbow-colored light quietly appeared beside her. The limb made of rainbow light held a teapot and filled the cup in Nangong Nayue's hand with black tea.

Nangong Nayue took a sip of the black tea in her cup, and her eyes involuntarily narrowed.

"Mm, the craftsmanship of those children in the Cloud Realm is truly getting better and better! This black tea is top-tier in both planting and production. Moreover, Ashtarte, your tea-brewing technique is also becoming more and more impressive!"

Although Ashtarte behind Nangong Nayue did not say anything, Lingyun could clearly feel that the aura around Ashtarte had become heightened, as if she had become happy because of Nangong Nayue's praise.

"Of course, during this period, Daiweina has stirred up quite a few things on the God-Given Continent," Lingyun nodded and said.

In front of him was a small stack of leaves; these leaves were a tool unique to the Spirit race for recording intelligence. After all, Daiweina's current mission was to find the Noklos Family that was researching Demon Qi, and when it came to Demon Qi, the Spirit race absolutely could not bypass this hurdle.

"To be honest, I really didn't expect that in such a short time, she would find so many strongholds of the Noklos Family on the continent. Is this the ability of a Fate Child?" There was a trace of disbelief on Nangong Nayue's face.

"In that world you came from, Xiao Gucheng was a Fate Child. Would you say his ability to stir up trouble is strong or not?" Lingyun chuckled and said. "In fact, even if he didn't want to stir up trouble, all sorts of things would come looking for him, wouldn't they?"

Nangong Nayue recalled the things that had happened to Xiao Gucheng and couldn't help but smile bitterly and nod: "That's right, it is indeed like that. A thing like a Fate Child is truly miraculous!"

Just as Lingyun and Nangong Nayue were talking, the Void rippled, and Andiya's figure appeared in the side hall.

When Lingyun's gaze fell upon Andiya, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. On the gorgeous priestess robe of the always elegant and dignified Andiya, there were actually countless tears. Her usually steady and vast aura was somewhat unstable at this moment, and wisps of powerful aura leaked from her body, causing the Void to tremble. As she appeared in the side hall, the Natural Power in the side hall quickly gathered toward her body; this was the healing ability of the Nature Temple taking effect.

"Andiya, did you engage in battle with someone, and were you injured?" Looking at the somewhat pale-faced Andiya, Lingyun couldn't help but ask.

"That's right. I didn't expect the hidden strength of the Noklos Family to be so strong. Within their clan, there is actually a top-tier existence not inferior to me at all. When we were surrounding and suppressing a Noklos Family base, that person suddenly launched a sneak attack and instantly severely wounded the expert accompanying Luweisi. If it weren't for Luweisi carrying a Sacred Gear of the Dragon Race, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold out against that person until I arrived. I exchanged blows with that guy, and in the end, it was a mutual defeat. I think this person is very likely the black hand that has been hiding in the shadows all along." Under the effect of Natural Power, Andiya's complexion quickly recovered.

Watching Andiya using Natural Power to treat her injuries, Lingyun's eyes narrowed slightly. He sensed the residual aura of the Elf Holy Bow from Andiya. That is to say, during that battle, Andiya had used the Elf Holy Bow. And being able to fight Andiya to a mutual defeat while she was using the Elf Holy Bow meant that the person's strength had reached at least the Demigod rank.

"A Demigod?" Lingyun rubbed his fingers, not knowing what he was thinking.

"That's right, that person's strength has already reached the Demigod rank. But don't worry, Luweisi has already locked onto his location with Dragon Soul Power; he won't be able to hide for much longer!"

Just as Andiya was recovering from her injuries in the Elf Temple, inside the Deep Abyss, terrifying Demon Qi churned, revealing an aged body.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" The angry roar echoed back and forth in the abyss.

As the black hand hidden for a thousand years, Kaqinuo had never encountered so many setbacks.

First, Daiweina, who was his research material and promoted his control over Demon Qi, was snatched away, and next, the Fate Mage who acted as his shadow was inexplicably severely wounded, forcing him to borrow Demon Qi to undergo reincarnation. Afterward, one bad thing followed another; the Noklos Family's research into Demon Qi was discovered, and one well-hidden stronghold after another was completely uprooted because of various inexplicable reasons and their connection to that mother dragon.

Previously, when he received news that another stronghold had been discovered, he could no longer restrain himself and hid directly in the stronghold, waiting for the enemy to walk right into the trap. At the beginning, the plan was indeed very smooth; as soon as he struck, he severely wounded a top-tier powerhouse hiding in the shadows. Although that person's strength had already stepped one foot into the Domain of a Demigod, he had already stepped into the Demigod rank for a long time, so severely wounding them by surprise was not a problem.

But he did not expect that the other powerhouse following Daiweina was actually the Golden Dragon King Luweisi, and he was also carrying the Heavenly Dragon Shield of the Dragon Race. That Heavenly Dragon Shield allowed the three of them to hold out until the arrival of reinforcements, and the reinforcements were exactly Andiya, whom he least wanted to see.

Andiya's strength was almost at the same rank as his, and at the same time, her Mental Power was unimaginably terrifying, directly causing his Soul Magic to lose the vast majority of its effect. At the end of the battle, she even borrowed the Heavenly Dragon Shield, forcibly withstood his large-scale Magic, and fired three consecutive arrows with the Elf Holy Bow, pouring massive Natural Power into his body, forcing him to flee.

And this approach of Andiya's destroyed the plan he had carefully prepared for a long time. In Kaqinuo's original plan, he was going to thoroughly refine his body with Demon Qi and then merge it into the body of the Demon World Lord, using it to repair the wounds on the Demon World Lord's body caused by the Holy Sword. But now, there was no need to talk about repairing the Demon World Lord's body; now, powerful Natural Power existed within his body, and it had already clashed with the Demon Qi. Now he had only one choice, and that was to abandon his body and merge his soul into the body of the Demon World Lord.

"Damn woman, when I have completely mastered this body, I will absolutely not let you go!" Kaqinuo let out an angry roar, and a translucent figure separated from his body and lunged toward the body of the Demon World Lord.

And when Kaqinuo's soul left his body, the massive Demon Qi instantly had a violent reaction with the Natural Power in his body, completely destroying his body, which meant that Kaqinuo no longer had a way back.

"Whether I live or die, it all depends on this one gamble!"
