Chapter 64: A Familiar Aura:
"Haha, Hei Xie, I didn't expect you to get beaten so badly by a Holy Heaven and Earth Sect disciple. You're a disgrace to the Demon Abyss," Bai Xie sneered loudly as he saw Hei Xie's miserable state.
Hearing these words, Hei Xie wiped blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with anger.
"Humph, I never thought this brat had so many tricks up his sleeve... But after using up all of these, he'll be running on energy, and killing him will be as easy as pie," Hei Xie said coldly and stepped forward with a sneer.
However, footsteps sounded at that moment and a woman in a black robe stepped into the ruins.
Seeing her, Hei Xie and Bai Xie's faces quickly changed and greeted, "Demon Lord."
Demon Lord?
Ye Fan and the other disciples of the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect were surprised.
The woman in black robes exuded a calm aura, making it difficult to guess her intentions. But just looking at the half of her face visible under the hood, it was easy to see that she seemed young. Even so, a woman like her could command the Demon Abyss and attack the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect?
"Have you found any trace of Xu Ze?" The Demon Lord's thin lips parted, emitting a cold voice.
Hei Xie hurriedly replied with a flattering expression, "Answering the Demon Lord, this subordinate has not found any trace of the Holy Son Xu Ze. Almost all the remaining Holy Heaven and Earth Sect disciples in this town are here."
When the Demon Lord glanced around and saw Ye Fan, she sneered.
"Oh? There's still a familiar face here."
"A familiar face?" Ye Fan's eyelids twitched.
Although the woman didn't explicitly say it, wasn't she referring to him?
"Do I know you?"
"It doesn't matter whether you recognize me or not. In my previous lives, it was thanks to you that I had the opportunity to seek revenge," the Demon Lord said in a hollow and emotionless voice.
And what she said made Ye Fan completely puzzled.
"In this life, I don't need you anymore... But your talent is quite a good resource for me."
The Demon Lord raised her hand slowly and extended her blood-red nails like blood blades slowly from her slender, jade-like fingers.
Hiss... Ye Fan sucked in a cold breath.
The pressure emanating from this woman could be said to be the most terrifying he had encountered since he transmigrated. It even surpassed that of the Holy Son!
Moreover, he had exhausted his spiritual Qi and was no longer a match for the person in front of him.
"System, hey system, don't you have any other tricks up your sleeve at this critical moment..." Ye Fan's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth.
[Should an emergency evacuation be initiated?]
"Besides running away? Don't you have another golden finger to make me instantly stronger?" Ye Fan gritted teeth and asked.
[The heavens reward hard work. Please continue to improve yourself, host]
Ye Fan really wanted to drag his system out of the void right now and strangle it.
What did it mean by 'the heavens reward hard work? Please continue to improve yourself?'
Couldn't the system see that its host was about to be beaten to death?
As Ye Fan watched the woman approaching step by step, he made up his mind to resist desperately.
However, a holy flame suddenly drew a boundary line between the woman and Ye Fan at that moment.
Under the astonished gazes of the disciples of the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect, Xu Ze descended like a god from the sky, landing in front of the woman.
"Holy Son!" Seeing him, the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect disciples erupted in excitement.
Ye Fan also breathed a sigh of relief and wiped off the cold sweat.
"Xu Ze..." Seeing the handsome and extraordinary figure in front of her, the Demon Lord's body trembled, and her hand under the robe trembled slightly.
Xu Ze retracted the holy flame and looked at the woman, sizing her up.
Xu Ze furrowed his eyebrows unknowingly, feeling the inexplicably familiar aura.
Although she hadn't revealed her face, Xu Ze saw her identity at a glance.
"No way..."
Xu Ze's heart pounded a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
And the system prompt in his ear confirmed Xu Ze's thoughts.
Xu Ze's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was already in turmoil.
Was it really her?
In his previous nine lives, when Xu Ze entered the Demon Abyss, he saw that girl.
...
In the novel 《Emperor of Heaven and Earth》, the first nine heroines of the ten were ordinary cultivators of the Heavenly continent or sects.
However, only the tenth, Gu Ling, was a devil cultivator of the Demon Abyss, the daughter of the Demon Abyss Lord!
Gu Ling's appearance came very late in the original plot.
It could even be said that she couldn't be called the 'main heroine.'
After all, she had hardly any interaction with the original green hat protagonist.
The one with whom she interacted the most was the main villain, Xu Ze.
As the daughter of the Demon Abyss Lord, Gu Ling's existence played an irreplaceable role in Xu Ze's later entry into the Demon Abyss and becoming its lord.
Because of Xu Ze's sweet talk and various tactics, Gu Ling was quickly conquered by Xu Ze. She helped him defeat the Demon Abyss Lord and completely took control of the Demon Abyss.
But after taking control of the Demon Abyss, Xu Ze's evil intentions grow boundlessly, vowing to make the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect and the protagonist pay the price.
Gu Ling soon became a pawn of Xu Ze, but she didn't initially know everything.
After being used by Xu Ze in every possible way, she was even abandoned as a scapegoat in the end.
Gu Ling finally turned to darkness, voluntarily joining the ranks of the protagonist Ye Fan.
And to the protagonist who joined actively, the original green-haired protagonist thought it was just expanding his harem.
However, after using the protagonist's power to kill Xu Ze, Gu Ling absorbed Xu Ze's demonic Qi and retreated to the Demon Abyss, becoming its new lord.
Of course, this was only the original novel's plot.
In his previous lives, Xu Ze's plot ended when he closed his eyes.
He wasn't sure what had happened afterward.
But unexpectedly, Gu Ling personally held control over the Abyss in the tenth life.
Moreover, she even proclaimed herself as the Demon Lord, leading demonic cultivators to attack the Holy Heaven and Earth Sect?
Xu Ze's forehead was drenched in cold sweat.
His hands behind his back were also sweating nervously.
Did she attack the Holy Son because of him?
