I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon-Chapter 938 - 350: Daoist Venerable: Taking the Initiative! Throwing Down Arms and Armor! Announcing Surrender!

"Zhu Jiuyou?"

Upon hearing this name, Chen Mo's brow furrowed slightly. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

The Empress once said that this seems to be a supreme power of the Demon Clan from ancient times... Could it be that this Dragon Blood originated from this Great Demon? But why did it end up in the hands of the Great Yuan Royal Family?

Ji Hongxiu said: "Later, I asked my master, and she mentioned a piece of history. At one time, Jiu Zhou was not ruled by the Human Race but was shrouded in a massive shadow. It used the world as its throne, sleeping with the sun and moon. With a wave of its hand, it could annihilate tens of thousands of beings, existing above the Laws as a supreme power."

"At that time, demons were rampant, bringing disaster to the world, and the people were powerless to resist, struggling to survive in the cracks."

"It wasn't until hundreds of years later, when the Human Race mastered the Cultivation Method and had the means to resist, that the situation began to ease."

"With the promotion of the Cultivation Method, more and more Heavenly Prides emerged, and Jiu Zhou truly ushered in a golden era. The Tianshu Pavilion Ancestor was one of them."

"She was determined to bring peace to the Human Race, so she allied with the Buddha and the Human Emperor to initiate the first Demon War of annihilation."

"At that time, the world did not have so many restrictions. One could freely comprehend the Tao Origin. Using the power of the Origin, they drove the demons to the Desolate Domain and also slew that powerful being..."

"That being Zhu Jiuyou."

Chen Mo asked, "So is this Zhu Jiuyou the legendary Dragon Clan?"

"No one knows its true origin." Ji Hongxiu shook her head and said, "Back then, in order to cut off all traces, the Ancestor used Divine Skills to erase its Cause and Effect, as if it never existed... Now only a few people in the world know this name, and that's it. Everything about it has been buried in the long river of history."

Chen Mo tapped his fingers on the wooden barrel, lost in thought.

So what exactly happened back then?

What is the relationship between the current Demon Lord, Zhu Wujiang, and Zhu Jiuyou?

The Demon Clan, Daoist Sect, Dragon Blood, Royal Family... Countless pieces of information are entangled, like a tangled mess, making it impossible for him to find the thread.

However, Chen Mo had a vague premonition that the final answer was hidden within that drop of True Dragon Blood.

As long as he cultivates the "Ancient Spirit Canon" to the end and completely obtains the memories within the Dragon Blood, then all confusion will be resolved.

"That's why when I first heard the name 'Zhu Wujiang', I immediately thought of Zhu Jiuyou." Ji Hongxiu paused slightly in her words, and said, "And you reminded me why this power felt so familiar... In the depths of that Daoist Forbidden Land, there is also a similarly wild aura."

Chen Mo's heart stirred, and he asked, "Can I enter that Daoist Forbidden Land?"

Ji Hongxiu rolled her eyes at him, "Do you guess why it's called a forbidden land? Only the current Sect Leader or the Sect Leader's successor has the right to enter. This is a rule set by the Ancestor and has remained unchanged for thousands of years."

Chen Mo asked shamelessly, "Even the Sect Leader's lover isn't allowed?"

"..."

Ji Hongxiu's cheeks reddened, and she scolded angrily, "What lover, that's so crude!"

"Ahem, Daoist partner, Daoist partner." Chen Mo corrected himself.

"These two words aren't to be said lightly. According to the Daoist Sect tradition, if you want to become a Daoist partner with me, you need to burn incense and declare to the heavens, and swear an oath in the ancestral hall to be loyal only to me for life without a second thought." Ji Hongxiu said softly, "Can you do it?"

"..."

Chen Mo's expression turned slightly awkward.

Loyal with no second thoughts? What about the other girls?

Not to mention, if the Empress finds out, wouldn't she scatter the Tianshu Pavilion Ancestor's ashes?

Seeing his indecisive appearance, Ji Hongxiu snorted coldly, "I knew you couldn't do it, you're just full of flowery words to deceive people..."

"You're right, it's a bit difficult, but I have a better idea."

Chen Mo said righteously, "As the saying goes, marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. Why not follow the Chen Family rules, I'll marry you in with a grand procession of ten miles of red makeup and eight sedan chairs, make you the primary wife, and Zhi'er the secondary wife, wouldn't that make everyone happy?"

"Pah! Who wants to be your primary wife!" Ji Hongxiu scoffed, knowing he had sinister intentions, always thinking about accepting both master and disciple!

"Then you be the secondary wife, and let Zhi'er be the primary wife?" Chen Mo tentatively suggested.

"Why? Am I lesser than her in any way?" Ji Hongxiu became even more annoyed upon hearing this.

Chen Mo discreetly glanced over, and aside from being older than Ling Ningzhi, it seemed there were a few things smaller...

Noticing his gaze, Ji Hongxiu looked down, then suddenly realized, and her face flushed crimson. Her eyebrows knitted, and she pinched the soft flesh on his waist with two fingers.

"What kind of look is that? Are you disdaining me?!"

"No, no, small is also cute..."

"???

Ji Hongxiu's figure was of the slender and well-proportioned type, with curves in all the right places. She was quite shapely, but when compared to Ling Ningzhi's extraordinary proportions, it was no contest...

"If I talk to you any longer, I'll be driven to fury!"

Ji Hongxiu gave him a sharp look, not continuing with the topic and instead said, "I know what you're thinking. It's not that I won't let you in, that forbidden land is extremely dangerous. No matter how strong you are, it's useless. A slight carelessness and you might get lost and remain there forever... I don't want you to take that risk."

Chen Mo understood that the Daoist Venerable was thinking for his well-being, so he didn't insist, and nodded, "We'll talk about it when there's an opportunity in the future."

Seeing they were almost done washing, the two got up and left the bathing barrel.

A gentle breeze passed through, instantly drying the moisture. A pure white Daoist robe appeared from nowhere, covering the skin that was as delicate as a piece of white jade.

As Ji Hongxiu was about to draw out a silk sash to tie up her hair, she was stopped by Chen Mo.
