Demon’s Diary

u.
If they lose, they will remain here forever.” Ye Tianmei responded stoically.

“Three is not enough.
It must be ten.” A contemplative expression showed on the Divine Secret Goddess’ face before she spoke without hesitation.

“I will not allow ten.
The most I will allow is five, not one more.” Brows furrowed, Ye Tianmei spoke coldly.

“Then five it is.
However, there is no need for them to fight one-by-one.
How about they all fight together.” After a moment of consideration, the Divine Secret Goddess responded in one breath.

“Battle together?! Seems as though you would like all of them to perish or all of them to leave as one.
Alright, I accept.”

“Divine Secret Niece, how can you agree to this? What if they….
Alright, as we have already settled on a group battle, let it be.” Third Red’s face darkened; he had wanted to say something, but after the Divine Secret Goddess suddenly said something to him, his expression changed as he agreed, and changed course.

“Now then – you can send someone into the palace to have those juniors remove the barrier.
Then, after the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, they will battle outside the palace.” Though Ye Tianmei thought it was strange that Third Red changed his mind, at this point there was nothing that could be negotiated further.
Besides, she was very confident about the outcome of this battle.

Therefore, in the next moment, the Divine Secret Goddess flew towards the palace herself, and pulled out a token.
After waving it at the light barrier, she passed through the barrier in a flash.

Within the light barrier, the large group of Sea Race guards who had been there all along were waiting respectfully and flew along to guide her into the depths of the palace.

At the same time, Ye Tianmei descended towards the bronze flying chariot.

The three Heavenly Moon Sect Spirit Masters – Zhou Tianhe and the others – immediately followed suit and flew back to the chariot, and once again bowed before this great Crystal Level Elder.

On the other side, Master Lei barked out the command to move the bone boat over to them.

“Aunt Ye, if you had not been here to save us, I fear that we would have been greatly harmed by that Crystal Level Cultivator of the Sea Race.” Master Lei bowed towards Ye Tianmei from a distance as he spoke.

One could say that Ye Tianmei was a legend of Da Xuan Country for nearly thousands of years.
In not even one hundred years, she had reached the Crystal Level, and her Cultivation Method – Path of the Sword – was much more difficult to make advances in than the other Cultivation Paths.

Therefore, though on the one hand Master Lei was usually obstinate, on the other hand, in the presence of a girl who appeared to be in her twenties, he was very respectful.

Meanwhile, Liu Ming had joined Master Lei in saluting the girl dressed in silver imperial robes.
Though after a moment of astonishment, he realized that this girl was none other than the one who had killed the Green-haired Demon Rat.
The mysterious girl who had given him a tremendous opportunity.
However, his face remained expressionless.

“Nephew Lei, no need for such reverence.
After communicating with Senior Leng Yue and Fellow Yan, I came here just in case! But I never thought that the sea race would have sent a Crystal Level Cultivator.” Ye Tianmei, spoke lightheartedly, and glanced over Master Lei and the others, her gaze momentarily fixated on Liu Ming.

“So this was Uncle Yan and Elder Leng Yue’s plan all along.
But for these members of the Sea Race, even a Crystal Level Cultivator has been mobilized.
It seems that those of the Sea Race trapped have a very important status in their race.
However, the suggestion of a five-person group battle might be some kind of a conspiracy.” Lin Caiyu spoke very cautiously.

“As this was their suggestion for the battle, of course they are conspiring.
However, I naturally had my own reasons for suggesting this battle in the first place.
‘Xiu Niang’ show yourself.” Ye Tianmei flashed a smile.
With a wave of her hand, there was a flash of white sparks and from its center emerged a young girl carrying a snowy-white sword, face flush with a determined aura.

It was none other than the Sword Communication Spirit Body of Zhang Xiu Niang!

This girl had been kept concealed under a spell by Ye Tianmei, and only now was released.

“Xiu Niang greets martial uncles.” Upon revealing herself, the girl bowed towards the Spirit Masters. 

“Niece Zhang is actually here.
Now we will surely win this battle without a doubt.
After all, was Niece Zhang not preparing to undergo a training retreat to push for the Spirit Masters realm, right? Why has Aunt Ye brought her here?” That female cultivator in her thirties of the Heavenly Moon Sect was at first quite delighted at what she saw before slight tinges of doubt showed on her face.

“I brought Xiu Niang because I heard that there was recently a Heavenly Star Aura Qi in Xuanjing.
I will see whether or not it’s real, and if Xiu Niang’s physique is suitable.
If it is indeed possible, can use this Pure Aura Qi to create her Symbol Qi.” Ye Tianmei spoke in an unwavering tone.

“I see.
How about we let Niece Hu take care of the Heavenly Star Aura Qi.
She is the Supervising Disciple of Xuanjing; finding Pure Aura Qi will be easy for her.” Zhou Tianhe listened before respectfully responding.

“Was it you who discovered that there were members of the sea race in Xuanjing? Oh, you and Xiu Niang are cousins.
Great – if you are able to find the fall of the Heavenly Star Aura Qi for me, I can take you on as my Sword Cultivation disciple for two years.
Additionally, why don’t you serve as one of the five in the battle.” After secretly saying these two sentences to Zhang Xiu Niang, she glanced to the side at Hu Chun Niang, and her face showed a hint of affability for the first time.
