Chapter 276: Chapter 276: The Nine Demons Are Restless, The Spirit Realm Is Not Peaceful_1
Qin Feng was no fool, naturally seeing through the Seven-Headed Serpent Demon’s intentions, knowing that the monster was coerced, but her heart was not in it.
However, he had a plan.
He did not stop in his tracks but instead took deliberate steps, continuing to move towards the Seven-Headed Serpent Demon.
"I’ve already submitted to you, what more do you want?"
Qin Feng didn’t reply but pointed his sword directly at the navel of the Seven-Headed Serpent Demon and fiercely tapped it.
This spot was the Seven-Headed Serpent Demon’s vital point, as well as the location of her Dantian.
With this tap, Qin Feng planted a Mysterious Seed in her.
The Mysterious Seed, extracted from Xuanhuang Qi, could be controlled by its planter. By planting the Mysterious Seed in the serpent demon’s Dantian, Qin Feng could control that seed.
With a single incantation from Qin Feng, the Mysterious Seed within the Seven-Headed Serpent Demon’s Dantian could immediately take root and sprout, growing into a great tree that would burst her Dantian and destroy her body.
Planting the Mysterious Seed was akin to installing a remote-controlled bomb inside the Seven-Headed Serpent Demon, and the detonator was in Qin Feng’s hands.
The Seven-Headed Serpent Demon could certainly feel the presence of a foreign object in her Dantian.
The object was minuscule; unless she paid special attention to it, it would have no effect.
But still, the Seven-Headed Serpent Demon was in a panic, because she did not know what Qin Feng had done to her Dantian.
Thus, she glared at Qin Feng and shouted, "What have you done to me?"
"I planted a Mysterious Seed in you," Qin Feng admitted straightforwardly.
"Mysterious Seed?" The Seven-Headed Serpent Demon looked puzzled and asked, "What is a Mysterious Seed?"
"A Mysterious Seed is just that, a seed. A seed that can grow into a towering tree using your body as its soil.
However, as long as I do not chant the incantation, it will stay dormant and not grow.
If you disobey me, I need only recite an incantation, and the Mysterious Seed will sprout wildly, growing into a ten-meter-tall tree within the blink of an eye.
And then, it will destroy your Dantian and rupture your body. The nourishment in your body will become fertilizer for this Mysterious Tree, allowing it to continue to grow."
After hearing all this, the Seven-Headed Serpent Demon immediately became panicked.
"What do you want to do?" she asked.
"I want you to obediently follow orders, do as I say. As long as you obey and do not oppose me, I will not recite that incantation," he said.
"You’re truly despicable!"
"Human hearts are already difficult to gauge, let alone the heart of a demon. To control you, I must take this measure. Whether you accept it or not, I will not retrieve the Mysterious Seed now. Only when you fully gain my trust will I remove it from you!"
The Seven-Headed Serpent Demon became excited upon hearing that Qin Feng could retrieve the Mysterious Seed.
"How will you ever trust me?" she asked.
"That depends on your actions," he responded.
"You..."
The Seven-Headed Serpent Demon stared at Qin Feng, grinding her teeth in fury.
"If there’s nothing else, you may leave! When I need you, I will summon you with an incantation. With the Mysterious Seed in your Dantian, you’ll certainly hear my call," Qin Feng stated.
After Qin Feng finished speaking, the Seven-Headed Serpent Demon departed.
Just then, a flash of golden light appeared overhead, dazing both Qin Feng and Xue Xiaochan.
When he regained consciousness, Qin Feng found that he was no longer on Nine Demon Island but had returned to Taixu Guan, lying beside the Old Lord Gourd. As for Xue Xiaochan, she lay beside him.
Xue Xiaochan opened her eyes, yawned, and stretched languidly.
After looking around at her surroundings, she revealed a puzzled expression and asked Qin Feng, "Where are we? Are we still on Nine Demon Island?"
"We’re back at Taixu Guan."
"Why have we come back? Weren’t we supposed to subdue the nine demons before we could leave? You only subdued a Seven-Headed Serpent Demon, so how did we get out?"
"How would I know that? We have to ask Hua."
No sooner had Qin Feng’s words fallen than that familiar birdcall immediately came.
"I’m here! I’m here! What do you need me for?"
"What do I need you for? I want to ask you, didn’t you say that to leave Nine Demon Island, we must subdue all nine demons? I’ve only subdued a Seven-Headed Serpent Demon, so how did we just leave?"
"It was I, Hua, who rescued you guys!"
"You rescued me?"
"There are indeed nine great demons on Nine Demon Island. The one you subdued, the Seven-Headed Serpent Demon, is the weakest among them.
With your current strength, if you encountered any of the other demons, there would only be one outcome: being beaten to death by them and then skinned for their meat and brewed for their soup.
Being able to subdue the Seven-Headed Serpent Demon means you are already fortunate enough. You can take the Old Lord Gourd with you."
"What about the other eight demons?" Qin Feng asked.
"Those eight demons are currently in seclusion, cultivating and have no time to bother with you. However, they usually don’t come out together.
The power of the nine demons varies in strength, but among themselves, none acknowledge the supremacy of the others. Even the Seven-Headed Serpent Demon you subdued acknowledges no master.
With the nine demons in discord, the Spirit Realm is restless.
If you subdue the nine demons, you can sweep through the entire Spirit Realm, bringing order to this chaotic world and restoring it to a state of peace."
These words left Qin Feng somewhat dumbfounded.
"You want me to sweep through the Spirit Realm?" he asked.
"You must not only sweep through the Spirit Realm but also the Immortal Realm and the Mortal Realm; they all need you to bring order. The Three Realms are currently in utter chaos. If they are not sorted out and restored to harmony and peace, the entire Universe will be destroyed."
"Such a monumental task, you are entrusting to me, am I up to it?"
Qin Feng wasn’t being modest; he genuinely didn’t feel he had the strength to sort out the Three Realms!
Before Princess Huahua made this statement, he hadn’t even thought about it.
After receiving the Immortal Doctor’s legacy, he had had only one thought: to heal the sick and save lives, to hang the medicinal gourd to benefit the world, and to enjoy his simple life.
At first, all he wanted was to buy a large villa for his mother to live in and enjoy her old age peacefully.
But after buying the villa, his mother could not bear to leave her old neighbors and insisted on staying at Ciyun Street, No. 36.
Qin Feng could only respect his mother’s wishes and had the old house renovated.
Although not large, with only two hundred square meters including the courtyard, it was still enough for his mother to live in by herself.
When he had time, Qin Feng would also go back to visit and stay for a few nights, to keep his mother company and chat.
Being caught up in the family conflicts of the Capital, Qin Feng could handle it.
Even if the eight major families were powerful, after all, they were just people!
To reorder the Three Realms, however, he would be dealing with not just people, but demons and ghosts from the Spirit Realm and various gods from the Immortal Realm.
Not to mention actually bringing order; just thinking about it made Qin Feng’s head hurt.
This task, just by the sound of it, gave him one feeling - three words — implausible.
"With your current ability, you definitely can’t handle it. Forget about those gods in the Immortal Realm; even some powerful demons and ghosts from the Spirit Realm could kill you. You can’t sort anything out!"
