Chapter 2918
Welcome to the Land of the Far North, where a palace floats high in the sky!
Inferno Demon sat regally on an exquisite chair, casting his gaze down upon Linglong, who stood before him.
Next to Inferno Demon stood a girl clad in white, her face devoid of any emotion, resembling a lifeless puppet.
If Kai had been present, he would have been overwhelmed with joy upon seeing this girl—Su Yuqi, the one he had searched for tirelessly!
“Master, I have successfully located the Inferno Demon Body. The individual is only possessed by a soul spirit at the moment, and her powers have not yet fully returned,” Linglong reported earnestly.
“I previously mentioned that once she acclimates to her new body, she should return to you, Master, to harness her full potential.”
“Additionally, our sources have informed us that among the cultivators lured to the Underground God Altar, there is someone who possesses our Supreme Fire. However, we are still unaware of this person’s identity!”
Linglong delivered his report meticulously while stealing glances at Su Yuqi.
“A human cultivator possessing our Demon’s Supreme Flame is indeed peculiar. Investigate this thoroughly, and if possible, bring this individual to me,” Inferno Demon commanded.
“The divine altar seal is set to open soon, and when it does, the souls of the Demon army will rise once more. The entire expanse of the Far North will fall under our Demon race’s dominion.”
Inferno Demon’s eyes glimmered with excitement as he spoke.
“Master, as our Inferno Demon lineage gains strength, other demon clans are bound to ally with us.”
“Then, Master will rise as the supreme leader of the demon clans, a savior whose legacy will echo through the ages. I am confident that even after millions of years, your achievements will be celebrated within the demon race,” Linglong praised Yan Mo, patting him on the back, elevating his spirits.
Who wouldn’t enjoy a bit of flattery?
“Hahahaha! Once our Demon Race is revitalized, you will all share in the glory and rewards,” Inferno laughed, dreaming of breaking free from this confinement to explore the vast Celestial Realm!
Noticing Yan Di’s cheerful demeanor, Linglong eagerly inquired, “Master, I’m curious about the woman by your side. Why do I not sense the aura of our Inferno Demon clan from her?”
Linglong had been intrigued by Su Yuqi’s identity from the start, and her presence next to Inferno Demon made him apprehensive.
If Inferno Demon was training a female disciple, Linglong’s position could be jeopardized, so he was eager to uncover Su Yuqi’s true nature.
“She is merely a human cultivator with limited strength. I encountered her by chance and decided to save her,” Inferno replied nonchalantly.
“A human cultivator? With such low cultivation?”
“I’m curious, Master, why did you choose to save her? Don’t you have a strong aversion to human cultivators?” Linglong questioned, puzzled by Inferno Demon’s actions.
“This girl differs from other human cultivators; she possesses a fire spirit body, the ideal vessel for nurturing our Supreme Fire, rivaling the Inferno Demon body itself,” Inferno explained.
“Such a spirit body could greatly benefit us if we can utilize it,” he added eagerly.
“If we can merge the Inferno Demon Body with the Fire Spirit Body, the revival of our Inferno Demon clan will be within reach!” Inferno Demon proclaimed with enthusiasm.
“But Master, she is a human; how could she possibly obey us?” Linglong asked, concern creeping into his voice.
Linglong felt a sense of urgency; Su Yuqi’s fire spirit body would undoubtedly attract attention and importance.
“She has lost her memory, and I will gradually restore her mind. Before long, she will believe she is one of our demon clan,” Inferno said with a smile.
“Oh!” Linglong felt a twinge of uncertainty.
Noticing Linglong’s unease, Inferno reassured, “Linglong, you have been by my side for many years; no one can replace you. You remain my most valued ally.”
“Attend to the matters I’ve assigned, and go…”
At this, Linglong nodded with newfound happiness, replying, “As you command…”
