I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 73. Taking Control of Him

"Your Excellency, Your Highness."

Two figures in black robes slowly emerged from the secluded corridor.

One is wearing a mask with the number 4, and the other is wearing a mask with the number 7.

"Where is Lao Ba?" the four-faced man asked in a deep voice.

Without turning his head, the king continued to stare intently at the woman in the red dress, and casually said, "Eighth Master, go and kill two people for me. You'll be back soon."

"Help you kill someone?" The four-faced man's tone turned slightly somber. "Your Excellency, there's no such deal in our cooperation, is there?"

"Don't worry." Wang Jue shook his head and turned around. "They're just two first-tier kids. You two don't need to worry."

The four-faced man nodded and said nothing more.

Although Lao Ba has the lowest spirit rank among them, he possesses an extremely powerful B-grade spirit weapon, which is more than enough to deal with two first-tier spirit masters.

Da~da~da~
Just then, the crisp sound of high heels rang out, and the woman in the red dress turned around and walked towards them.

The three men's expressions changed drastically, and they quickly retreated several steps back into the corridor.

The woman in the red dress, with her stunningly beautiful face, gently raised her head. Her eyes, veiled in black, seemed to be staring at them as she asked in a daze, "Where is my daughter?"

The king smiled and said, "Don't worry, my queen. I have already sent people to look for Hongdou. She will be home soon."

The woman in the red dress tilted her head, as if trying to understand the sentence. After a while, she nodded and hummed in agreement, then began to wander around the glass coffin again.

Looking at the red-dressed woman's spirit that occasionally twisted, the king said in a low voice, "Over the years, I have searched through many historical records, but apart from the text recorded in the Glass Pavilion at the very beginning, I have found almost no information about her. This shows that she was completely erased by the Imaginary River of Numbers."

"But based on the information in the Glass Pavilion, I can roughly deduce that the powers she possesses are likely related to the law of causality."

"Gentlemen, does your Divine Calamity Society know of any of the Great Calamities whose powers are related to the law of cause and effect?"

"A great calamity?" The four-faced man was taken aback, looking at the woman in the red dress in surprise. "Isn't this the divine messenger?"

Wang Jue shook his head: "This is also the strangest thing. She possesses the divinity of the Star God, but she is far from reaching the level of the Star God. At most, she is a divine messenger who is close to the god. But something strange happened yesterday."

"Oh?" The four-faced man became interested.

"It was around six o'clock in the morning, about ten hours before the birthday party started."

The king looked at the woman in the red dress, "As usual, with the help of Meng'e, I conducted a dream connection experiment so that I could meet the queen directly in my dreams. As expected, the dream connection failed again. The River of Imaginary Numbers blocked everything about her, including her mind."

"Unexpectedly, this time a Nightmare Clan symbol appeared between the princess's eyebrows." As he spoke, the king opened his palm, and a ball of flame appeared in his palm, transforming into a ※ shape.

He looked at the two members of the Divine Calamity Society and said, "You two should be familiar with this symbol. It's a mark that only members of the Nightmare Clan at the Six-Eyed level or above possess."

"And then?" the four-faced man asked, puzzled.

The prince shook his head: "Then the princess muttered to herself, 'I have a husband,' and fell into a deep sleep, only waking up just before the banquet was about to begin."

Upon hearing what the King said, the 4-faced man and the 7-faced man exchanged a glance.

"It seems that this person's identity is more complicated than we imagined. He is not only related to the Star God, but also to the Nightmare God."

The seven-faced man, who had been silent until now, chuckled softly. "But it doesn't matter anymore, Your Highness. I just hope you still remember our agreement."

The King smiled and said calmly, "Rest assured, after the birth ceremony is completed, I will personally open the Boundless Realm Seal to welcome the Divine Calamity Army."

After dealing with their pursuers, Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong didn't linger and continued towards their destination.

After advancing to the second rank, their spiritual pressure increased several times over, and they no longer held back when using it. They unleashed their full power with both their Two-Tails and Lightning Step, flying through the dark forest like two streaks of black and white lightning. Spiritual pressure is equivalent to mana; normally, a few C-rank spirit robes would have drained them dry.

This is why many second-generation spirit masters, even if they have inherited B-grade or even A-grade spirit garments, still have to learn D-grade spirit garments in the early stages. Even if a spirit master is extremely talented and learns a high-level spirit garment in the early stages, they are limited by their spiritual pressure and simply cannot use it.

Of course, this is also why so many spirit masters yearn to awaken spirit artifacts, because no matter what level a spirit artifact is, it consumes less spiritual pressure than an N-level spirit garment, or even almost none at all.

As they flew, Xia Feng's voice suddenly appeared in Mu Qingtong's mind, as if casually asking, "By the way, what were the trigger conditions for your spiritual weapon again?"

"..." The woman in the black dress glanced at Xia Feng, her tone helpless, "Are you trying to trick me into revealing information by catching me off guard?"

"Why not give it a try? There's nothing to lose!"

"Mr. Xia, I suggest you change to a more interesting topic, then I might be able to answer."

"Alright, let's change the subject. When are you going to advance to the third-tier Spirit Master?" Xia Feng asked.

Mu Qingtong glanced at Xia Feng out of the corner of her eye. This junior had been very concerned about her cultivation progress lately, and would often try to find out about her spiritual pressure and spiritual weapon abilities in various ways. His curiosity about her was becoming more and more obvious.

She could probably understand Xia Feng's mindset; when faced with someone like him who had finally appeared, she couldn't help but pay more attention to him.

In order to understand her, confront her, and defeat her! Until finally, to control her!
This is a battle between the strong, very simple and unpretentious.

Even among the same kind, in the end only one will stand; those who lie down are no longer qualified to stand at the top.

"A third-tier spirit master, it should take about three months to complete the advancement," Mu Qingtong said calmly.

"Three months?!" Xia Feng's voice echoed in her mind again, his surprised tone tinged with disdain, "You actually need three months to advance to the third-tier Spirit Master?"

"."

Mu Qingtong knew very well that this annoying guy was deliberately provoking her, but she still couldn't help but ask, "How long do you need?"

"Me?" Xia Feng smiled proudly. "One month is enough."

"."

"Miss Mu, you can't even do this?" Xia Feng's lips twitched, his expression full of confusion.

"!" Mu Qingtong gave a helpless smile: "You keep playing your tune, and I'll keep listening."

She could reach the peak of spiritual pressure for advancing to the third rank in two weeks, but the troublesome part of advancing to the third rank was the collection of spiritual materials.

Three months was her conservative estimate.

Xia Feng saw that no synchronization information had appeared from the Demon Heart, and immediately felt that this World-Destroying Witch really had no ambition at all, and was lazy, extremely lazy!

Thinking about it, he sighed, "Sigh, some people didn't believe I could advance without spiritual materials, but look what happened."

"."

"The results of it?"

Mu Qingtong ignored Xia Feng's provocation. This kind of advancement without spiritual materials was inherently fraught with unknowns and risks, and even if she succeeded, it wouldn't prove anything.

However, Xia Feng's irritating attitude only fueled the fire in her heart.

Since that's the case, then there's only one option!
Understand him, confront him, defeat him! Finally, make this damnable fellow submit completely to her, Mu Qingtong, and control him!
