Chapter 310: Chapter 278 Demon Suppression Bell 1

The Jade Talisman shattered, forming into a sword light in an instant, flying toward the elder.

“Damn it!”

With a curse, the elder erupted with tremendous power from his Divine Bones, enveloping himself.

As the sword light struck, the formidable protective force was instantly cleaved apart, though the sword light also greatly diminished in power.

Even so, under this sword light, both Li Cheng and Kong Lianqing clearly saw that a phantom was forcefully blasted out of the skull!

The phantom retreated to the edge of the Formation, waiting until the sword light dissipated before quickly flying back, remerging into the Divine Bones.

However, it was this moment of separation that made the power emitted by the Divine Bones turn violent. After the phantom remerged, the elder hastily controlled the Divine Bones to retreat, tearing through the Formation and fleeing into the distance.

“Just as expected, he fled!” Kong Lianqing breathed a sigh of relief.

“Was that a Divine Monarch Talisman?” Li Cheng exclaimed in surprise.

Kong Lianqing nodded, “A benefit from the Demon-suppressing Department.”

A Divine Monarch Talisman is condensed by a Divine Monarch and can unleash the power of one of their strikes upon activation.

This elder had not fully integrated with the Divine Bones. If he had, he would have had nothing to fear at all.

“He won’t be able to control the Divine King Bone for several hundred years, so we should be safe now,” Kong Lianqing said, frowning again, “This poison… there’s something strange about it!”

Kong Lianqing¹ s stunning face had turned red, her breathing growing heavy without anyone knowing when.

Li Cheng fared slightly better, with the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture continuously refining the poison, but even so, he felt a surge of heat rising from his lower abdomen.

Without thinking, it was clear that the poison had a potent effect similar to that of a blue little pill.

“Why would that elder, presumably an incarnation of the Withered Bone

Demon Monarch, use such a poison?” Li Cheng wondered aloud.

“Desire Demon Poison. Firstly, those affected become weak; afterwards… In short, without an antidote, they will fall into depravity through intercourse, and eventually, the powers of both parties will merge like Alchemy, becoming a supplement,” explained Kong Lianqing.

This explanation startled Li Cheng. How potent was this poison that could turn both the male and female into a supplement?

Kong Lianqing’s breathing grew more and more rapid, not daring to suppress it with Divine Power, for the poison used Divine Power as a medium to merge the strength of the two, eventually becoming a supplement for the Demon Race.

“I… My Divine Child has also been contaminated with this poison, rendering me unable to use the Divine Wall Technique. Li Cheng…” Kong Lianqing’s words were trembling, clearly struggling against the abnormality induced by the poison.

Having already refined much of the poison, Li Cheng took a deep breath and reached out to press his hand against Kong Lianqing’s back, preparing to help her cleanse the poison with the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture.

When touched by Li Cheng, Kong Lianqing shuddered, her divine body growing hotter.

But the next moment, Kong Lianqing felt Li Cheng’s Divine Power surging in, slowly absorbing the poison within her.

“By doing this, the poison will accumulate in your body, eventually causing you to explode and die,” Kong Lianqing said, her voice full of fluctuations.

Li Cheng changed the subject, “Yin Yue seems unaffected, is it because she’s unconscious?”

“Not quite. It’s because she hasn’t yet experienced her monthly cycle… I’ve got it, let’s both channel our Divine Power into her, her body will disperse the poison!” Kong Lianqing suddenly suggested.

Li Cheng understood her meaning; they were to act together, using Yin Yue as a medium to cleanse their Divine Power.

In doing so, the poison affecting them both would be fully dispersed, and Yin

Yue could benefit from a Divine Power Baptism from them both, greatly expanding her meridians and solidifying her foundation.

With this in mind, Li Cheng nodded, lifting Yin Yue with his Divine Power and placing her between them.

Kong Lianqing turned with difficulty, and Li Cheng saw that her gown was already drenched, perhaps with sweat, or perhaps not.

Upon seeing this, Li Cheng quickly closed his eyes.

Kong Lianqing also noticed this embarrassing situation, her already flushed face turning even more delicately rosy.

She hurriedly looked at Li Cheng and, seeing his eyes lightly closed, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Without further words, both of them steadied their minds and acted together.

Time passed, and Li Cheng had completely refined the poison, a notification ringing in his mind.

[Disciple Yin Yue has received a great boon from the Divine Power Baptism, reward: 30 Enlightenment opportunities.]

[Current remaining Enlightenment opportunities: 25493.]

“System, change it so I can settle it,” he commanded.

[Settlement method changed successfully!]

Opening his eyes, he saw that Kong Lianqing had returned to normal, and Yin Yue was also beginning to awaken.

“Master, Sister Kong, my… my grandfather…” Yin Yue began.

With a sigh in his heart, Li Cheng fetched the remains of Yin Qingshan.

Other villagers had already been buried, but it seemed more fitting for Yin Yue to handle Yin Qingshan’s burial.

Kneeling before Yin Qingshan’s remains, Yin Yue wept uncontrollably, being only a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old girl, all of this might have been too cruel for her.

Kong Lianqing stayed with Yin Yue, comforting her.

A few days passed, and Yin Yue seemed to have moved past her grief, her young age belied by a hint of maturity in her eyes, a sliver of innocence lost.

That night, the three sat by the campfire, Yin Yue gazing at the sky, “Master, is death really the beginning of something new?”

“You’re still so young, don’t think about these things,” Kong Lianqing said, her voice as cold as ever.

Yin Yue shifted her gaze from the sky to Kong Lianqing, then to Li Cheng, smiling, “Master, I’ve decided. I want to participate in the Demon-suppressing Department’s examination and strive to become a Demon-suppressing Envoy.”

Li Cheng nodded and smiled. Over the past few days, Kong Lianqing had thoroughly explained the Demon-suppressing Department to them.

The Demon-supressing Department directly answers to the emperor, unregulated by any other authorities. To become a Demon-suppressing Envoy means, aside from needing to deal with the appearance of Demon Creatures and Evil Cultivators, enjoying much freedom.

According to Kong Lianqing, anyone, even a street vendor, could be a Demon­suppressing Envoy. That demonstrated true freedom indeed.
