I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 848 - 317: The Empress and Lin Catcher’s Pincer Attack! Chen Mo Has It Both Ways! (Part 2)

Chapter 848: Chapter 317: The Empress and Lin Catcher’s Pincer Attack! Chen Mo Has It Both Ways! (Part 2)

?!

The Empress, upon hearing this, felt a sudden jolt in her heart.

Indeed, that extremely high-level Demon Energy is from the Demon Lord!

And using Chu Heng as bait, the intention is obvious, it’s to lure Chen Mo in!

"So, you really clashed with the Demon Lord? How did you escape then?" the Empress asked, puzzled. The Demon Lord’s power has already surpassed the First Grade. Logically, Chen Mo wouldn’t stand a chance.

"It wasn’t the real Demon Lord that descended, just an avatar, but even so, it was beyond what I could withstand," Chen Mo explained. "Fortunately, the Daoist Venerable was prepared and stepped in to destroy it, otherwise there would have been trouble..."

"Daoist Venerable?"

The Empress understood.

No wonder Chen Mo’s whereabouts couldn’t be traced; he was taken by the Daoist Venerable?

"Hmph, what Demon Lord, taking advantage of her Ultimate Venerable status to rampage in Central State, truly underestimating the court! This matter won’t be left unresolved!" The Empress’s eyes turned cold, her delicate face filled with killing intent.

Now, more than half of the Heavenly Shadow Guards have awakened, and with Chu Yanli, they might be able to contend with the Ultimate Venerable!

Setting aside private concerns, the Demon Clan dared to strike at the Crown Prince during the Heavenly Gift Day ceremony, equivalent to a declaration of war against the Great Yuan!

The two clans are now locked in a fight to the death!

"No need to worry about that." Chen Mo cleared his throat, saying, "The Demon Lord is already dead."

?

The Empress was stunned, "Dead?"

"That’s right," Chen Mo said. "During the chaos of the Demon Clan’s uprising, Her Majesty the Consort went to the Desolate Domain alone and personally eradicated the real body of the Demon Lord."

"..."

The Empress fell silent.

Though hard to believe, given the intelligence from the Demon Suppression Department, it seems to be true.

In other words, Yu Youhan, alone, wiped out half the Red Blood Mountain Range, killed tens of thousands of the Demon Clan, and even beheaded the Demon Lord, who was also in the Ultimate Venerable Realm?

One person subdues an entire clan?

She knew Yu Youhan’s strength was formidable, but this was simply too outrageous!

"Was Consort Yu injured?" The Empress snapped back to reality and asked.

Chen Mo shook his head, saying, "Her sleeves were slightly dirty."

"..."

The Empress was again speechless.

Despite possessing sky-reaching strength, she spends her days in the harem playing tricks with me...

This woman probably has issues, right?!

This also added another layer of concern in her heart.

Now that Yu Youhan’s intentions are becoming evident, she remains restrained, but if one day she does overturn the table, who in the entire Capital City could control her?

The Golden Crow trio?

If they don’t get beaten to a pulp, it’s considered lucky.

Chu Yanli?

It would be extraordinary if he could last fifteen minutes.

The Heavenly Shadow Guards?

If all twenty-eight stars awaken, maybe there’s hope, otherwise, it would be sending people to their deaths.

Thinking about it, it seems the only one she can rely on now is Chen Mo... That mysterious red ribbon appears to suppress the Imperial Consort’s cultivation, and Chen Mo achieved the incredible feat of "angrily spanking the Imperial Consort’s behind more than a dozen times without harm."

"Chen Mo..."

The Empress gently opened her mouth and spoke softly, "Am I really useless?"

Chen Mo asked confusedly, "Why does Your Majesty say that?"

The Empress lowered her head, clutching her skirt tightly, saying, "You fell into such peril, it was the Daoist Venerable that saved you, Yu Youhan avenged you, and yet I couldn’t help at all..."

Chen Mo slightly furrowed his brows, roughly understanding the Empress’s thoughts.

The three of them already had a sort of "competitive" relationship, mutually displeased with one another.

Now the Demon Clan wrecks havoc in the Capital, it should be the court that takes action, and yet the Empress becomes the "free-riding winner," naturally feeling uneasy.

"That’s not right."

Chen Mo wrapped an arm around her slender waist, saying, "If it weren’t for Your Majesty’s preference, the crimes I’ve committed previously would be enough to get me executed eight times... Without Her Majesty the Empress, I wouldn’t be where I am today, how could it be said you’re useless?"

"You really think that?" the Empress blinked.

Chen Mo nodded, saying, "Absolutely."

The Empress traced circles on his chest with her fingertips, saying, "What if Consort Yu bullies me in the future, will you help me teach her a lesson?"

?

Chen Mo’s expression turned stiff.

Waiting for me here, huh?

When did the Empress Baby learn to act pitiful, too?

"What, you’re unwilling?" the Empress raised an eyebrow, pouting, "I knew you were lying..."

"Ahem, willing, of course, willing." Chen Mo smiled forcefully, saying, "But the problem is, even if three of me were tied together, we’re not a match for Her Majesty the Consort."

"No matter, as long as you said it’s enough."

The Empress’s face quickly turned from overcast to bright, her delicate moon-like arc unintentionally brushing lightly, making Chen Mo’s thoughts a bit scattered.

"Thus, you’ve been with the Daoist Venerable these past two days?"

Chen Mo nodded, saying, "I happened to break through to Third Grade, the Daoist Venerable also assisted... um, helped me feel the Great Dao..."

"Third Grade?"

The Empress’s eyes widened, her lips parted in surprise, "You mean, you are now a Martial Arts Grandmaster?"

Chen Mo corrected, "It’s a Daoist Martial dual-grandmaster."

[・_・?]

The Empress showed a confused expression.

He’s barely reached his early twenties and already entered the Heavenly Human Realm?

Even as the top Heavenly Pride on the Cloud Top Ranking, it’s truly astonishing!

Yet this fits perfectly, perhaps facing less resistance in tomorrow’s court session.

"Did Ji Hongxiu do anything besides stabilizing your cultivation?" the Empress hesitated to ask, her concern justified, given the Daoist Venerable’s previous transgressions.

Chen Mo naturally wouldn’t admit it, and replied quickly, "I strictly followed Your Majesty’s teachings, remained pure, without any indiscreet actions."

"That’s more like it." The Empress nodded in satisfaction.
