I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 839

Chapter 839: Chapter 314: Illuminating the Nine Hells, Demon Lord Reborn! Zhu Wujiang’s... Mother? (2)

Crack——

The jade pearl shattered.

A fierce wind erupted suddenly, countless particles of light swirling in the air, coalescing into a humanoid silhouette.

Immediately thereafter, a drop of deep crimson blood fell, and as soon as it soaked into the shadow, it transformed into countless red threads, as if an invisible hand was weaving them from nowhere, swiftly forming veins, organs, and flesh.

Then, it pierced its own abdomen with sharp claws, forcibly extracted two ribs, crushed them, and scattered them inside; the bones also began to gradually take shape.

Finally, it completely transformed into Zhu Wujiang’s original appearance.

Though over eight feet tall, it did not appear clumsy at all, with a slender waist, long legs, and a voluptuous figure with smooth curves; skin as fair as tender tofu, seemingly fragile under a mere puff.

Coupled with refined and intelligent features, such appearance and figure were enough to stand out among the beauties on Great Yuan’s "Rouge List."

But those scarlet eyes gazed upon her with deep-seated contempt.

"Tch, ultimately impure blood, unworthy to become True Dragon..."

After completing all these transformations, it was greatly exhausted, showing signs of fatigue, and its figure faded into the black waves.

Who knows how much time had passed, Zhu Wujiang’s eyelids trembled as it slowly opened them, eyes radiant like the Milky Way.

Surveying the surroundings, it did not seem surprised at all.

Raising a hand to beckon, robes emerged from thin air, covering its exquisite physique; after tidying up, it bowed respectfully towards the dark pool.

"Thank you, Mother."

The air remained silent, with only the sound of heated breath resonating.

Zhu Wujiang was accustomed to this, silently turning and flying towards the stone gate.

Hovering mid-air, it reached out to press against the door; an array of light subsequently illuminated.

Boom——

The heavy gate swung open to the sides.

Xuanming, who was kneeling before the gate, suddenly looked up.

Seeing the tall figure emerging slowly from the darkness, a gleam of joy flashed in its eyes, bowing and saying:

"Welcome, Your Majesty!"

"I knew, Your Majesty’s cultivation is boundlessly powerful, eternally enduring, how could you easily perish by that woman’s hand..."

Zhu Wujiang’s expression was complex, a cold smile curling its lips.

"Eternally enduring..."

"Ha..."

Suddenly, Vermilion Bird, who had been standing silently in the distance, stepped forward and asked directly: "How did that person respond?"

"This is the last chance." Zhu Wujiang replied indifferently, "If failure occurs again, then death is certain, with no possibility of resurrection."

Upon hearing this, Xuanming’s expression froze.

It seemed that if that woman appeared again, wouldn’t it be completely over?

Vermilion Bird frowned in contemplation.

Zhu Wujiang recalled something and added: "If possible, bring You Ji back. She’s currently only inhabiting a stray cat, presumably having suffered greatly during this period."

"Understood."

Vermilion Bird’s semi-transparent figure gradually dissipated.

...

...

In Tiandu City, at the Demon Suppression Department.

Under the all-night repair efforts of the magicians, the courtyard damaged on the outskirts has been fully restored, and reinforced using arrays once more.

Inside the Formation Path Department, Yuan Junfeng gazed solemnly at the array map on the ground.

"It’s my fault for being careless, I didn’t expect while out repairing arrays, the Demon Clan and Wuwan Temple would infiltrate..."

Though there were no fatalities at the Demon Suppression Department during this turmoil, Commander Ling Yishan was severely injured, arrays and charts leaked, and the underground array hubs were pried open, much Dragon Qi stolen...

The cost could be described as extremely heavy.

Yuan Junfeng attributed all of this to his own negligence.

Standing beside him, Sun Chongli said: "Nobody could have predicted this, the city’s situation was urgent at the time, prioritizing array repair was the right decision, had more demons infiltrated, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"Besides, that monk was indeed peculiar, even if you were present, there’s no guarantee you could have gained the upper hand."

Yuan Junfeng remained silent.

Sun Chongli glanced around, then asked quietly: "How is Ling Yishan’s condition?"
