Junior sister took first place again

Thick demonic energy surged like a black tide. At the bottom of the abyss, where the sun never reached, even time seemed to stand still. Suddenly, a lazy and cold voice pierced the dead silence:

"It seems that I really can't rely on you bunch of trash."

The Heart Devouring Demon Lord shuddered, falling to his knees, not even daring to raise his head. His shadow twisted and distorted within the demonic energy, as if it would be devoured at any moment.

The inner demon didn't show up, but his voice echoed in the abyss like a thorn in the flesh: "It's not surprising that the Locking Heaven Array couldn't trap the person I chose."

The subject suddenly changed, a chill rising in his voice: "But that plum demon... how dared to ruin my plan."

The Heart-Eating Demon Lord suddenly raised his head, his eyes gleaming with resentment. "God, please understand! Ji He only managed to get away with it by borrowing the power of the Emperor's Sword fragment! If our people can retrieve the broken sword, I will make sure his soul is shattered!"

"Oh?" The inner demon appeared from within the seal, an unfathomable look on his face. "Who are you going to send to get it?"

"Of course it's Ji Wuying..." The voice of the Heart-Eating Demon Lord gradually weakened.

"Heh." The inner demon sneered and mocked, "A loser who can't even pass the test of the Emperor's Sword fragment is worthy of snatching things from Ji Yao's generals?"

The Heart-Eating Demon Lord trembled all over and dared not say anything.

The inner demon turned around, his sleeves fluttering, and his tone returned to nonchalant: "Go to Qingzhou."

"Before the Immortal Sect Competition is over, no matter what she wants to do, you are not allowed to stop her."

She tilted her head slightly, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her lips——

"I already know Nanming's plan."

The Heart-Eating Demon Lord kowtowed deeply, his eyes gleaming with almost fanatical devotion: "I will obey the Divine Lord's command!"

The black shadow dissipated and the abyss returned to silence.

The inner demon walked on the evil spirit, and wherever it passed, millions of demon shadows retreated like a tide.

In the deepest part of the demonic energy, a green lotus shadow stood tall and proud, its holy light pouring down like moonlight, isolating the surging darkness from outside.

On the lotus heart, the Immortal Qinglian sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. Two magic swords, one blue and one red, surrounded his body. The sword energy was like a rainbow. Over the years, no demon could get within three feet of him.

Suddenly, the evil shadow retreated, and a slender figure came stepping through the black fog.

"Qinglian." The inner demon stopped outside the sword enclosure, a playful smile on his lips, "How about a deal?"

The Immortal Qinglian slowly opened his eyes.

More than thirty years have passed, and he has never stopped guarding the seal in the abyss, without losing a bit of his character.

Those eyes were filled with the cold sharpness of time, more captivating than the edge of a sword.

The inner demon didn't take it seriously and said slowly, "You know, your good disciple has already broken the Heaven Locking Formation."

The expression on Qinglian Immortal Venerable's face became visibly relaxed.

"The Immortal Sect Conference is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." The inner demon chuckled, "As long as she dares to compete for first place, her half-demon identity will be known to the world."

"You say..." She deliberately dragged out her tone, "Without you, the Sword Immortal Master who is the Great Elder, to take charge, how much can the Xuanling Sect protect her now?"

The air stagnated for a moment.

The next moment——

Zheng!

The blue sword light suddenly rose like frost, and the Qinglian Immortal stood with a sword in his hand, his clothes fluttering, and murderous intent in his eyes.

The inner demon did not retreat but advanced, looking at him with a smile, and even took a step forward deliberately, allowing the sword energy to cut her sleeves.

"Doesn't she want to kill Ji Wuying?" The inner demon whispered softly, "As a token of sincerity, I can create an opportunity for her."

"Ah Sheng's matter—" Qinglian Immortal Venerable finally spoke, his voice low and cold, "It's not your turn to interfere."

The inner demon chuckled softly, and a half-black, half-white long sword condensed in her hand. As the demonic energy surged, her face gradually lost its disguise, revealing her original evil features.

"What a deep bond between master and disciple..." She sighed, the devilish fire in her eyes surging, "But—"

She suddenly raised her sword, and the demonic energy was overwhelming!

"This will be the last battle in the abyss!"

"Out of here——"

"Next time we meet, you won't even be qualified to be my opponent!"

In response to her, there was a blue sword light that split the darkness!
