Chapter 824: Spirit Sound Moves

Just then, a phantom silhouette swept past, seizing Qingde, and vanished without a trace.

It was precisely Senior Xuan Yang. His robes were tattered, and his old face was a bloody mess. His aura was also somewhat weakened. He seemed to have suffered a significant loss.

Just as the 'Drunken Immortal' was about to be acquired, it suddenly disappeared.

Jiang Fan was furious: "You old geezer! Why weren't you beaten to death by the East Sea Demon Emperor?"

Thump—

The East Sea Demon Emperor returned, her stunning face filled with the joyous satisfaction of having vented her anger. It seemed she had thoroughly vented her frustration.

"Congratulations, Senior Yizhu." The East Sea Demon Emperor looked at Jiang Fan, gripping his arm, her eyes full of gratitude. "Jiang Fan, you are the benefactor of my East Sea Demon Clan! How can I ever thank you?"

Jiang Fan smiled gently: "When Senior Yizhu helped me on the continent, you never thought of asking for a reward. Now that I've helped the East Sea Demon Clan, I naturally won't ask for anything in return from you. Our favors cancel each other out, Senior Yizhu, please don't dwell on it."

"What a good child!" The East Sea Demon Emperor was truly touched deep down. Jiang Fan could have taken the opportunity to ask for benefits; as long as he opened his mouth, she wouldn't have been able to refuse. But he didn't ask for anything.

"Jiang Fan..." Mist welled up in her crystal-clear eyes. The last time she was protected like this was when her husband was still alive.

Jiang Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Senior Yizhu, please, whatever you do, don't cry. Vice-Pavilion Master Gu is still down there; don't let her see us as a joke."

The East Sea Demon Emperor quickly wiped away the moisture from her eyes. The more she looked at Jiang Fan, the fonder she felt.

"From now on, don't call me Senior anymore. Call me Auntie."

How could Jiang Fan not know the devastating impact calling someone 'Auntie' has on a woman? It's a common understanding in the world! When encountering women older than oneself, if one should call them 'Grandma', one can, at discretion, call them 'Madam'. But if one should call them 'Auntie', remember to call them 'Elder Sister'!

"Alright, Sister Yizhu." A smile spread across the East Sea Demon Emperor's face: "You rascal, your words are truly sweet. No wonder you can marry several wives." She was truly worried Jiang Fan would call her 'Auntie'. Although she was indeed of an auntie's age, what woman is willing to admit she has succumbed to the ravages of time?

"Alright then, let's return to the imperial palace. I'll host you with the highest East Sea courtesy!" Demon Emperor Yizhu was full of gratitude.

Jiang Fan shook his head. He pointed to the long, wet stain seeping from her chest. "Sister Yizhu, don't worry about me. You should quickly heal your injuries."

She was already severely wounded from the battle with the Hellish Wild Beasts, and just now, she fought Senior Xuan Yang again. Her injuries were even more severe.

Demon Emperor Yizhu felt even warmer in her heart: "You truly are a gentle and thoughtful person. First, come with me to the East Sea Imperial Palace."

She brought Jiang Fan back to the shell. Then, with a casual strike, she sank the Tri-Clarity Mountain's massive ship.

"Ah?" Gu Xin'er was greatly surprised: "Demon Emperor Yizhu, is that alright? Tri-Clarity Mountain might not care about the personal grievances between you and Senior Xuan Yang, but sinking their warship, won't that displease Tri-Clarity Mountain?"

Demon Emperor Yizhu snorted coldly: "From now on, if a Tri-Clarity Mountain ship comes to the East Sea, I'll sink every single one!"

Gu Xin'er was full of doubt. Could it be that the elixir formula problem had been resolved? She looked at Jiang Fan, frowning: "What did you do, you rascal? Could it be that the people from Tri-Clarity Mountain actually told you the recipe?"

Before Jiang Fan could reply, Demon Emperor Yizhu reminded her: "Vice-Pavilion Master Gu, Jiang Fan is now my younger brother. From now on, when speaking to my younger brother, please pay attention to your tone and attitude."

"What? Brother?" "No, didn't Jiang Fan just go up for a moment? How did he end up recognizing a Demon Emperor as his elder sister?"

Jiang Fan smiled faintly. He poked Gu Xin'er's masked forehead: "Did you hear that, Core-Formation junior! From now on, be more polite when you speak to me!"

This made Gu Xin'er explode with anger. She thought fiercely to herself: "Master! Look! Look at this guy! He's so arrogant now, he even dares to poke my forehead while speaking! I'll endure this for now! Once I recover to the Nascent Soul realm, I will definitely peel off a layer of his skin!"

The residual spirit in the hairpin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "This fellow... But, he's truly very capable. This Demon Emperor Yizhu doesn't seem like someone who's easy to fool. Yet he can make Demon Emperor Yizhu willingly protect him and even acknowledge him as her younger brother. It shows that besides his ability and character, Jiang Fan's words are also very good at sweet-talking people."

Gu Xin'er snorted angrily and remained silent. While the East Sea Demon Emperor was taking Jiang Fan and submerging into the sea first, she pulled out a small black notebook and quickly jotted down Jiang Fan's misdeeds for the day.

"Above the East Sea, poked my forehead, die once." She then heavily closed the notebook and entered the vast ocean.

Jiang Fan used the air bubble given to him by Demon Emperor Yizhu at the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. After use, the bubble transformed into a thin layer of air, adhering to his body surface. It could automatically filter air from the seawater, supplying Jiang Fan with breath. At the same time, it could continuously circulate out waste gases, so he wouldn't suddenly fart and suffocate himself to death.

Soon after, at the deepest part of the seabed, amidst an endless expanse of coral, a magnificent, brightly lit palace was embedded in the dark seabed. Demon Emperor Yizhu, bringing the two of them, landed directly inside the imperial palace.

Several sea demons, whose aura had reached the complete ninth level of Core Formation, immediately came forward. "Welcome, Demon Emperor!"

Demon Emperor Yizhu glanced around at the welcoming party, frowning: "Where is the Crown Prince? Didn't I tell him to act as regent in my place?"

A sea demon stammered: "Reporting to the Demon Emperor. The Crown Prince said he wanted to fully enjoy being the Demon Emperor, so he took troops to patrol the East Sea."

Demon Emperor Yizhu slapped the dragon throne, her beautiful face slightly angered: "This good-for-nothing! If he were in the imperial palace, Senior Xuan Yang might not have discovered my departure."

Jiang Fan listened, secretly puzzled. Why would Senior Xuan Yang not notice anything unusual if the Crown Prince were present?

"When he returns, tell him to quickly go to the Spirit Cleansing Pond and look after Young Master Jiang!" Demon Emperor Yizhu instructed. Turning her head to look at Jiang Fan, who was sitting beside her, her gaze softened: "Vice-Pavilion Master Gu and I will first go to the Origin Cauldron to recuperate. I won't be able to accompany you. Coral, take Young Master Jiang to the Spirit Cleansing Pond. Before the Crown Prince returns, make sure to treat him well."

The female demon king named Coral respectfully affirmed. "Young Master Jiang, please follow me."

Meanwhile, a hundred miles away, at the Continent's Demon Imperial Court, in a valley filled with blooming flowers, a white-robed maiden, whose beauty seemed otherworldly, put away a nine-colored long needle in her hand. This needle, it was unclear what material it was refined from, yet it possessed a powerful oppressive force that compelled the soul.

"The Heart-Linking Godworm can be removed now," the beautiful white-robed maiden said softly. She was none other than the ageless old demon race priestess, Ling Yin. She took light steps, and wherever she walked, flowers bloomed and plants grew lush and green. It was like a miracle.

Yao Yue followed behind, her red lips slightly pursed, saying: "Mother, if the Heart-Linking Godworm is removed, what will happen to him?"

Ling Yin didn't turn her head, calmly saying: "Do you feel bad for him?"

Yao Yue whispered: "Didn't the great war between humans and demons just end? If we can avoid harming him, then let's not harm him."

Ling Yin smiled faintly, without speaking a word.

Yao Yue became a little uneasy, saying: "Mother, let's talk about it when he comes to the demon race. Where in this vast world would we even find him?"

Ling Yin calmly said: "Finding him is not difficult."

A rainbow appeared before her. She lightly stepped onto it and walked along the rainbow. And where the rainbow pointed was precisely the East Sea.
