Chapter 332: Chapter 84: Slaying the Demon King (Part 1)
Sun Fuguo smirked coldly. "Perfect. I’ll meet them all today."
Hearing this, Ji Jiuniang said no more. "Please wait a moment, Immortal Warriors," she whispered.
The beautiful woman formed a hand seal for a spell, activating a Secret Technique. A demonic light flared around her body, roaring like a fire.
She opened her mouth. Veins bulged on her beautiful face, and her throat swelled to four or five times its normal size. The sight was horrifying.
The next moment.
Her eyes bulged as she strained to spit a massive, saliva-covered green egg from her mouth.
As the massive egg appeared, Ji Jiuniang’s aura diminished significantly.
With a CRACK, the giant egg split open. A figure with snow-white skin and a voluptuous body emerged.
It was a beautiful woman identical to Ji Jiuniang in face and figure!
Fang Cheng wore a strange expression. ’This scene feels familiar, like something I saw in my youth during my past life.’
Ji Jiuniang took out a robe and wrapped it around the woman, covering her dazzling, snow-white nakedness.
She then gave the storage bag and the bottle of Emperor Liquid to the woman.
The newborn woman only had a First-stage Early Stage Cultivation. Her expression was one of pure innocence as she looked around, dazed and curious.
Ji Jiuniang said to Sun Fuguo, "Immortal Warrior, this is my contingency plan. Might I ask you to let her leave first?"
Sun Fuguo flicked his finger, sending a streak of sword light into the woman. It landed on her and then vanished without a trace.
"Go," he said nonchalantly.
With the Sword Dao Mark he had left on her, he could destroy Ji Jiuniang’s contingency with a single thought. He had no fear of her trying any tricks.
"Thank you, Immortal Warrior." A look of joy crossed Ji Jiuniang’s face. She quickly waved her hand, enveloping the woman in a demonic light and sending her flying into the distance like a shooting star.
Then, she smiled gracefully. "Please, follow me."
With that, she took the lead and flew down below the sea of clouds.
Sun Fuguo and Fang Cheng followed close behind.

「Somewhere beneath the Southern Mang Mountains.」
Hundreds of natural caves lay hidden beneath the mountain range, connected by countless tunnels that formed a subterranean labyrinth.
An underground river surged violently, rushing endlessly through the caves and passageways.
At the bottom of one of these underground rivers, a blue Treasure Bead, ten feet in diameter, lay motionless.
A spiritual light flickered around the bead. It was an Array, shrunk down countless times, that tightly enveloped it.
Within the Treasure Bead was a Grotto Heaven hundreds of li across.
This bead was a type of Pocket World Spiritual Building.
Unlike Fang Cheng’s Pocket World Spiritual Building, this one had no distinction between heaven and earth—it was filled entirely with water.
A magnificent palace complex, like an Undersea Dragon Palace, stood in the deep water.
Demonic miasma filled the Water Mansion, where it seemed many Demon Cultivators were practicing their cultivation.
All manner of aquatic Demon Beasts swam around the Water Mansion: frogs, turtles, snakes, vipers, fish, flood dragons, eels, and more. Most were Tier One Demon Beasts, with a few Tier Two Demon Beasts mixed in.
Above the grandest, central palace of the Water Mansion, nine brightly shining Water-Repelling Beads were suspended. They pushed back the surrounding water to form a dome, illuminating the entire Pocket World Spiritual Building like dazzling stars.
Inside the great hall, nine bronze cauldrons, each over ten feet tall, blazed with fire, illuminating the entire space.
"Why isn’t Jiu Niang here?"
A burly, powerfully-built Cow Demon with a pair of large horns demanded in a deep voice.
There were just over ten Demon Race cultivators in the hall, all of them Tier Two Demon Cultivators. Among them was a young man dressed as a scholar whose body radiated a vast and fierce demonic intent, making him stand out from the other Demon Cultivators.
The one who had just spoken was none other than the Demon King’s disciple, the Great Demon, Ox Demon.
He was waiting with several other Great Demons for the Demon King to arrive and was growing agitated. Noticing that Ji Jiuniang, another of the Demon King’s Great Demons, was absent, he seemed to find an excuse to vent his frustration and started making a fuss.
"Jiu Niang had something to attend to and has already taken her leave with the Demon King. Don’t tell me you still haven’t given up on her, you old ox?"
A skinny Great Demon chuckled slyly.
The Ox Demon’s eyes widened. "Qiu the Third, how do you know she’s busy? Did she tell you?"
Qiu the Third didn’t answer, just laughed smugly. His expression was so vivid it seemed to say he and Jiu Niang had already spent a passionate night together.
The Ox Demon’s face contorted with rage. He shot to his feet and roared, "Jiu Niang is as pure as jade! How could she ever be with a piece of filth like you!"
Just then, Ren Yan said calmly, "Brother Niu, the Demon King has arrived."
The Ox Demon looked as if he’d choked on his words and resentfully sat back down.
A middle-aged scholar with a commanding presence entered from the back of the hall. He had full, arching brows, upturned phoenix eyes, and three long strands of a beard that floated as if he were an immortal. There wasn’t a trace of demonic aura about him; he looked nothing like a Demon King whose cultivation had reached the third stage.
After walking in, he calmly took the main seat and surveyed the crowd. His gaze finally landed on Ren Yan, and he asked gently, "Ren Xiaoyou, how has your senior sister been lately?"
Ren Yan smiled. "Thanks to you, Your Majesty, my senior sister’s injuries have fully healed."
The Demon King raised an eyebrow. "Last time, when you and the Flame God Palace attacked the Yinluo Sect," he said slowly, "I happened to be at a critical juncture in cultivating a Secret Technique and was unable to assist. I hope you’ll forgive me for hindering your important affair."
Ren Yan’s expression remained neutral. "Your Majesty is too kind. Success is but three parts human effort and seven parts destiny. We can only say that the Yinluo Sect’s fortune is on the rise and that it was not fated to be destroyed."
"I hear a Peak Master from the Yinluo Sect has also broken through to the Life Soul realm?" the Demon King said lightly.
Hearing this, the expressions of the many Great Demons present remained largely unchanged. Clearly, they were all already aware of Sun Fuguo’s breakthrough.
