“Perfect.”
At this moment.
Watching the massive figure split in two, the Poisonous Enemy King, now utterly dead.
Xu Yuan's heart was filled with quiet satisfaction.
That's right.
Just as the Poisonous Enemy King had thought before he died.
He had fallen for it.
In fact, if they had truly fought head-on down on the mountain.
Xu Yuan knew very well.
Even though he was immune to the Drunken Horse Poison, he might not be the Poisonous Enemy King's opponent.
Let alone killing this demon king—he would have to use one of his Buddha power or Heavenly Mandate transformation!
Therefore, he came directly to Nest Cloud Peak.
And lured out the Dim Moon Demon King.
Xu Yuan knew very well.
Given the Poisonous Enemy King's hatred for the Dim Moon Demon King... or rather, the Regulus Star Official.
He would definitely come to Nest Cloud Peak.
The subsequent battle was simply a matter of course.
And the Poisonous Enemy King would never have imagined.
As a 'Cicadian Egg' that had infected the Regulus Star Official and hatched into a demon king.
The Dim Moon Demon King itself, was absolutely obedient to Xu Yuan, the 'Cicadian Ancient Silkworm'.
With a cunning plan and a heart that was not prepared for it, coupled with the Dim Moon Demon King's own strength being no less than that of the Poisonous Enemy King, and it even restrained the insect demon lineage.
This directly led to the Poisonous Enemy King's instant death.
Afterwards, Xu Yuan didn't rush to absorb the spiritual essence.
He simply walked over to the Poisonous Enemy King's corpse.
He raised his hand and pinched a magical gesture, reciting a spell.
He then collected the Poisonous Enemy King's corpse.
Afterwards, he calmly surveyed his surroundings.
"Won't you show yourself?"
He spoke softly.
But with the boost of his magic power.
His voice echoed like rolling waves, reaching every corner of Nest Cloud Peak.
But
"..."
There was still silence all around.
So, Xu Yuan sighed.
"Do you want me to call out your name... Red-Robe Fairy?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Xu Yuan saw a large red serpent emerge from the grass on Nest Cloud Peak.
Upon reaching Xu Yuan, it transformed into a human-headed, serpent-bodied woman in red robes.
"Who... who are you! ?"
At this moment, she looked at Xu Yuan.
Especially at the Dim Moon Demon King, calm and docile behind him, like a pet.
Her words were filled with suspicion and vigilance.
"Me? Didn't I already tell the Poisonous Enemy King my name?"
Xu Yuan chuckled lightly, "Fairy, if you don't mind, you can call me Xu Yuan Daoist."
But upon hearing this, Red-Robe coldly laughed, "Daoist?"
"Three days ago, Purple Cloud Mountain was closed, and I heard about you."
"The disciple of the Hundred-Eyed Demon King from the Yellow Flower Temple, the son-in-law of the Spider Silk Cave... What 'Daoist', you're clearly a demon king!"
But as she spoke.
She was clearly a bit blustering.
The reason was simple.
Because just now, Xu Yuan had directly spoken her name.
This was unusual.
But Xu Yuan just smiled, "Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!"
"Fairy, if you don't believe me, I have something to show you."
As soon as the words fell.
Red-Robe saw Xu Yuan raise his hand and take out two things.
Those were... two hands.
Buddha Hands!
"Those are..."
Seeing those two Buddha Hands.
Red-Robe had already recognized their origin.
"That's right."
Xu Yuan said softly, "They are the hands of the Vairocana Bodhisattva."
"...Has the Bodhisattva truly been killed?"
Red-Robe's face instantly turned sorrowful.
But soon, her emotions became even more intense: "Who are you? Who killed the Bodhisattva? Why are her remains in your hands?"
Her words now clearly carried hostility.
But Xu Yuan was very casual about her hostility.
"Fairy, don't think too much—my meager abilities cannot kill the Vairocana Bodhisattva!"
"As for who killed her... I would also like to know."
Speaking of which, Xu Yuan finally got to the point.
"So, I want to make a deal with you."
His words were abrupt and Red-Robe was completely confused.
But before she could ask.
The next moment, Xu Yuan's words directly disrupted her train of thought.
"I want to save the Regulus Star Official."
"I hear that you and he are old acquaintances. I wonder if you would be willing to do something for me in return?"
These words were spoken.
Red-Robe also widened her eyes.
After a long silence, she angrily said, "Nonsense!"
She looked at the skeletal, grotesque Dim Moon Demon King.
Her eyes were bloodshot, but she was almost about to shed tears: "He is already like this, even if the Bodhisattva was resurrected, how could you save him!?"
Saying that, she raised her hand and took out a sharp spike from her bosom.
"That Daoist, don't blame me for not warning you!"
"Although I don't know what evil magic or sorcery you used to control this great demon, which is the corpse of him, you had better send him to his liberation!"
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, even if I die, I will help him break free from your clutches!"
Xu Yuan looked at it.
He saw a cloud of toxic gas rising from the spike in her hand, but it was not the jade green color of the Poisonous Enemy King.
Instead, it was a clear purple, with a hint of auspiciousness!
Red-Robe's magical power was also extraordinary.
But in terms of cultivation level, she seemed even more powerful than the Poisonous Enemy King.
"No wonder in the game, she said that she couldn't bear to solve the Dim Moon Demon King, not that she couldn't. She has the strength, and the magical treasures—she's definitely got something!"
Xu Yuan thought to himself.
But at this moment, he was still indifferent to Red-Robe's attitude.
He just continued to laugh.
"The Regulus Star Official's body is naturally beyond saving."
"But there is still a wisp of his true spirit and soul remaining in the Dim Moon Demon King's body."
"I happen to have a secret technique that can save him from his predicament—do you believe me?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Red-Robe's expression finally changed.
"Really!?"
She asked almost instinctively.
But then she seemed to realize that she shouldn't have asked and quickly closed her mouth again.
Xu Yuan was secretly laughing at this moment.
That's right.
As a transmigrator, he naturally knew the story of Red-Robe Fairy.
Her origin was mysterious and unpredictable, seemingly a descendant of a great sage.
She had served in the Heavenly Court, but her position was not high.
Because her great sage ancestor had a close relationship with the Vairocana Bodhisattva, Red-Robe had known the Vairocana Bodhisattva's son, the Regulus Star Official, since she was a child.
She had long been devoted to him, almost regarding him as a younger brother.
After the Regulus Star Official met with disaster, she quietly left the Heavenly Court and came down to the mortal realm.
She had lingered on Purple Cloud Mountain for countless years, only to help the Regulus Star Official find liberation.
Such a relationship.
"Of course it's true."
Xu Yuan was not at all afraid that Red-Robe would not take the bait.
And sure enough...
"If what you say is true, and his true spirit still exists."
"Then after you save his true spirit, what do you desire... I can do whatever you ask!"
Hearing Xu Yuan's response.
Red-Robe hesitated for only a moment, before firmly saying.
And hearing this, Xu Yuan also chuckled lightly, "That's it then."
"Red-Robe Fairy, just wait and see!"
