The Grey Rat's Demon Path

Chapter 171: Chapter 157: Solution, a Blessing in Disguise

Xu Chang’an’s expression was blank, his gaze profound. His aura was unfathomably deep.

The palace-garbed woman didn’t respond. Instead, she extended her Demon Sense toward Xu Chang’an.

With his hands behind his back, Xu Chang’an unleashed his own Demon Sense, actively mingling it with hers.

Then, he slowly guided it into his body.

As he actively drew in her Demon Sense, the energy contained within it began to be detected by his panel.

It transformed into streams of warm energy that were absorbed by the panel.

The Energy numbers on the panel began to change wildly once again.

11,000!

12,000!

...

The palace-garbed woman wanted Xu Chang’an to resolve the Power of Restriction. But likewise, Xu Chang’an coveted the Energy she could provide.

And so, their Demon Senses continuously mingled, constantly being drawn into Xu Chang’an’s body.

The Power of Restriction contained within the Demon Sense was ceaselessly absorbed by the panel.

When all the Power of Restriction from her Demon Sense had been completely absorbed, the Energy accumulated on his panel had reached a terrifying number.

Name: Xu Chang’an

Bloodline: Purple-striped Earth Rock Rat (Middle-class Bloodline)

Lifespan: 372 years

Realm: Late-stage Foundation Establishment

Skills: Alchemy (Tier Two Middle Grade)

Energy: (16259/20000)

...

Xu Chang’an was overjoyed.

Although he wasn’t out of danger yet, this encounter alone had saved him at least several decades of hard work!

A blessing in disguise!

With the Power of Restriction gone from her blood, Demon Power, and Demon Sense, the palace-garbed woman felt a sense of relief wash over her entire body, as if a great mountain had been lifted from her shoulders.

However...

’Compared to those three, the majority of the Power of Restriction is on my Divine Spirit.’

’It’s a festering blight, difficult to purge!’

’Fortunately, I’ve already found a solution!’

"The Alien Energy on your Demon Sense is gone!

As for what remains on your Divine Spirit, I will need to break through to the Core Formation Realm and become a Demon King to handle it!

With this matter concluded, I shall take my leave. Once I become a Demon King, I will seek you out again!"

Xu Chang’an spoke calmly.

Although he was announcing his departure, his expression showed no urgency, as if he were discussing some ordinary matter.

"Fine!"

The palace-garbed woman didn’t try to stop him.

The Great Seal above Xu Chang’an’s head flickered with five-colored light and gradually shrank until it became a seal the size of a palm.

This Great Seal had a weighty presence, its treasure light flowing and its Spirituality flickering. When large, it was like a great mountain; when small, like a simple seal.

It was a true Magical Treasure!

If Xu Chang’an wasn’t mistaken, judging by its brilliant treasured light, it might not be an ordinary Magical Treasure either!

After just a single glance, Xu Chang’an recalled his Magical Artifact and Talisman Treasure, then turned to leave.

The palace-garbed woman stood serenely, watching him go.

"Oh, right."

After walking a dozen or so yards, Xu Chang’an suddenly turned back and spoke unexpectedly.

"Since we’re Dao Companions now, about that Quasi-Magical Treasure of mine!"

BUZZ!

An incredibly brilliant golden light flashed and flew toward Xu Chang’an.

It was none other than the Quasi-Magical Treasure he had previously lost contact with, the Golden Jade Hairpin.

"Much appreciated!"

Xu Chang’an used his Demon Sense to control the Golden Jade Hairpin and drew it into his body.

"I still don’t know what to call you."

"I am Chu Xianyi!"

’Chu Xianyi!’

Xu Chang’an repeated the name silently, committing it to memory.

’The Alien Energy on her Divine Spirit is also an opportunity for me. If I’m strong enough, I’ll naturally take it.’

With that, Xu Chang’an turned and left.

"Wait!"

Chu Xianyi’s cold, beautiful voice rang out.

’Is she going back on her word!?’

Xu Chang’an’s heart skipped a beat.

He stopped, turned, and his gaze flashed toward Chu Xianyi.

"If you don’t know where I reside, how will you find me!?"

"I have my ways!"

Xu Chang’an replied calmly, wearing a confident expression.

After saying this, Xu Chang’an turned and gracefully departed.

’This vixen could go back on her word at any moment!’

’I can’t stay here any longer!’

’Best to leave as soon as possible!’

Xu Chang’an activated his Magical Artifact, preparing to fly into the sky.

Just then, Chu Xianyi’s voice came from behind him.

"Once you achieve the rank of Demon King, you can come find me at Peacock Mountain!"

’Peacock Mountain!’

It was common knowledge that Peacock Mountain was presided over by a single Demon King: the Peacock King!

’In that case, she’s...’

’The Peacock King!’

Xu Chang’an’s expression stiffened.

A moment ago, he had demanded the return of the Quasi-Magical Treasure, the Golden Jade Hairpin.

But the Quasi-Treasure Golden Jade Hairpin actually belonged to the Peacock Princess, and he had stolen it from her.

’Then...’

...

Chu Xianyi quietly watched Xu Chang’an depart.

’The Golden Jade Hairpin is in his hands. It’s clear now that he was the Golden Lion who attacked Yun Rou all those years ago!’

’According to Yun Rou, he was only an ordinary Great Demon at the Early-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation back then.’

’Now, in just over a decade, he’s already become a Top-tier Great Demon!?’

’Such a rate of progress is simply terrifying!’

’His Bloodline aptitude must be extraordinarily high!’

’Talent Divine Techniques!’

’Devouring all things!’

’A Great Power Reincarnation!?’

’I wonder what the true origin of this fake lion is!?’

She naturally had her own calculations in letting him leave this time.

For now, although the Power of Restriction still existed within her Divine Spirit...

...the portion in her Demon Power, Demon Sense, and the blood in her body was gone.

She could now begin to comprehend and digest the opportunities within the Secret Realm!

The most urgent task was to digest and comprehend the opportunities from the Secret Realm.

Once those opportunities were fully digested and she had freed up some time, it wouldn’t be too late to deal with the Power of Restriction in her Divine Spirit!

Although she had wanted to resolve her hidden troubles all at once and purge the Power of Restriction clinging to her Divine Spirit...

...if she had forced the issue, all the leverage would have been in his hands.

’Judging by his actions, trying to pressure him would likely have ended badly!’

’Rather than that, it’s better to wait and see.’

’If he comes looking for me on his own, that would be for the best!’

’And if he doesn’t...’

...when their Demon Senses were mingling just now, she had used a technique to intercept a portion of the fake lion’s Demon Sense.

With the aura of that Demon Sense, even if he didn’t come to her, she had a way to find him!

SWOOSH!

A five-colored light flashed, and Chu Xianyi transformed into an Escape Light, flying off into the sky.
