Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2065: Chapter 211: I Really Just Want to Retire Peacefully_4

The Demonic Sword Tao Artifact never imagined that there would be a day when it would be so despised.

Its self-esteem was severely bruised, yet it didn’t dare to challenge the fierce Wang Licui, fearing she might destroy it in a fit of pique, so it could only endure silently.

Wang Licui casually waved her hand and stored the docile Demonic Sword Tao Artifact into the Storage Ring.

“And you?” Wang Licui glanced at the Divine Tool Level Storage Rings, “What good items do you have inside?”

“Esteemed Miss…” The Artifact Spirit of the Storage Ring replied in a flattering tone, “Although the master, no, the former master’s Divine Soul connection with me has been severed, I must still adhere to my duty as a Storage Ring and cannot disclose such information to you.”

Before Wang Licui could get angry, the Storage Ring’s Artifact Spirit quickly added, “However, you can first sever the Divine Soul connection with your own Storage Ring, then erase the remaining Soul Divine Brand on me, and re-refine me, and you will be my new master.”

She thought to herself quietly that following such a powerful master wouldn’t be a bad thing.

To her surprise, Wang Licui casually tossed it to Lan Wanyi: “Wan’er, are you still using that Top Grade Storage Ring that can’t speak? When you get a chance, organize your things and switch to this Storage Ring.”

“Thank you, Sister Lici.” Lan Wanyi gratefully accepted, but transferring the Storage Ring is a complex task, so it’s not urgent.

After handling the two spoils, Wang Licui rummaged through the corpse of the old man in a gray robe and finally found the most precious small box.

Opening the box, inside lay the Dark True Demon Seed, the soul of the Young Master Ming Shura nailed by the Thousand Machine Soul Locking Nail, and the Young Master Ming Shura’s Storage Ring.

Unfortunately, the Young Master Ming Shura’s Gloom Eight Dragon Banner was left in the Scarlet Demonic King Fort.

But it couldn’t be helped; if they had forcefully taken the Gloom Eight Dragon Banner back then, the news of the demise of Young Master Ming Shura would have been immediately discovered, triggering a series of severe consequences that would escalate quickly.

In that case, they might not have been able to escape smoothly.

Wang Licui’s greatest interest naturally lay in the [Dark True Demon Seed].

She had a strong desire to devour it, but vaguely felt that this could be very dangerous.

This left Wang Licui quite conflicted.

“No, no, I can’t eat it.” Wang Licui swallowed, forcibly suppressing the stirring Bloodline Power, “This feeling would be more useful for Old Ancestor Longyan; she cares deeply for me. I can’t eat it; I must leave it for the Old Ancestor.”

Saying this, she quickly took out the Young Master Ming Shura’s Storage Ring and then, with the sound of “snap,” closed the lid again, sealing the box to avoid temptation.

If she continued to look, she feared she wouldn’t be able to resist.

The Young Master Ming Shura’s Storage Ring, of course, was of very high grade, undeniably a rare Taoism Level space Storage Ring.

“Trashy Rat, bury the corpse of the gray-robed old man a bit deeper, erasing every trace thoroughly, then we should hasten our retreat; this place is unsuitable for a long stay.” Wang Licui instructed, and subsequently, she and Lan Wanyi managed the battlefield, muddling various traces before soaring into the night sky.

Poor Mo Luo True Monarch, well known in the Real Demon Palace, ended up dying in the Demonic World, with Wang Licui killing him without even remembering his name.

After handling the battlefield, they raced back, not even having time to handle the Storage Rings.

Handling the Storage Ring is incredibly troublesome, requiring one to first empty the contents of their own Storage Ring, then sever the initial refining, refine the new Storage Ring again, and reinstall things—it’s too bothersome.

Given the urgency of the situation, they naturally prioritized rapid travel.

In fact, even before they started pursuing the gray-robed old man, a crisis had erupted like a tsunami.

The Demonic Clan first discovered the disappearance of Young Master Ming Shura and Sullaya, then promptly realized that Young Master Ming Shura was dead, with the corpse hung on the Demon Suppression Stele in front of the forward fortress of the Human Immortal Base Number Three East Line Defense Zone.

Hanging Demonic Clan corpses on the Demon Suppression Stele has always been a tradition on the Human race side, done to both boast battle achievements, boost morale, and deter the Demonic Clan; it’s essentially a multi-purpose strategy.

The greatest achievement in history for the East Line Defense Zone was hanging a Demon King’s corpse on the Demon Suppression Stele, but that’s something from two thousand years ago.

Though Young Master Ming Shura was temporarily on the Lord level in terms of power, his status was too exceptional; being hung on the Demon Suppression Stele immediately stirred a monumental uproar.

Initial investigations revealed some clues, and the Demonic Clan nearly confirmed that the commander-in-chief of the Human Immortal Base Number Three East Line Defense Zone, Zhao Tingjian, was responsible for this act.

Upon learning of this, the Demon God of Darkness and Kill was enraged.

In a fury, it immediately planned to come personally to the Number Three Defense Zone for revenge, but was restrained by the Demon Lord itself.

Nonetheless, the death of Young Master Ming Shura also concerned the legacy of the Dark True Demon Seed; unless the Dark True Demon Seed was retrieved, this lineage of the Demon God of Darkness and Kill might have no successors. How could the Demon God of Darkness and Kill easily let this go?

It immediately ordered the borders, including the Scarlet Demonic King Fort among several Demonic King Forts, to launch a cross-border attack towards the East Line Defense Zone Number Three.

Simultaneously, other Demonic King Forts received wartime orders, instructing them to quickly mobilize forces to restrain the Human Base Number Two, preventing its army from aiding the East Line Defense Zone Number Three.
