Yanyu's heart sank. How could the oath made in the name of the devil be broken just like that
It would be unwise to break the contract just for the corpse of a demon king.
Forget it, the Dark Lord is dead, and according to the conditions agreed upon before, the entire Dark City belongs to her.
There's no need to get into trouble over such a small matter.
Thinking of this, Yanyu regained his composure and said apologetically.
"I was mistaken. The Dark Night Devil's body should belong to Fellow Daoist Xu. I hope you won't mind what I just said."
Xu Chunniang was very satisfied. "Fellow Daoist Yan is really straightforward. According to the agreement, you can take away the Dark Night Demon's mustard seed space and soul."
Yanyu said nothing more and directly took away the mustard seed space and took out the soul of the Dark Night Demon.
After being burned by the red lotus fire for a day and a night, the soul of the Dark Night Demon was extremely weak.
He struggled desperately, but couldn't break free from the red flames.
On the contrary, because of his struggle, every time his soul hit the red flame, it was burned and shrunk a little.
Yanyu shook her head with a look of heartache, took out a porcelain bottle that had been prepared long ago, put the soul of the Dark Night Devil into the bottle and sealed it.
She was planning to use this soul to refine a puppet. If too much soul power was lost, the effect would be greatly reduced.
Seeing that Yanyu had taken away the mustard seed space and soul, Xu Chunniang took the body of the Dark Night Devil without hesitation.
The corpse of the demon king in the middle stage of fusion is a good thing. After refining it, her cultivation should be able to reach a higher level, right
Yan Yu looked at Xu Chunniang, "Fellow Daoist Xu, what are your plans for the future? Are you going back to Huangsha City, or looking for another way out?"
Xu Chunniang smiled, revealing a row of white teeth, looking somewhat harmless.
"Why go back to Huangsha City? I plan to stay here."
Yanyu had a bad feeling in his heart, "Staying here? Not a good idea."
"I think it's good."
Xu Chunniang analyzed seriously, "Although Dark Night City was saved, after this battle, the number of cultivators in the city has been greatly reduced and its strength has been greatly damaged.
With me here, if a strong enemy attacks, I can also help Brother Yan share some of the burden."
Yanyu wanted to say something but stopped himself. That familiar feeling of heart attack came again.
She exhaled lightly and said slowly, "Friend Xu is thoughtful, but I have my own way to defend Dark Night City."
"Not right, not right. I am really worried about leaving Fellow Daoist Yan here alone."
Xu Chunniang shook her head, her face righteous and stern, "Besides, I'm not familiar with the demon world, so it's better for me to stay here so that we can take care of each other."
Yan Yu forced a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu is really good at joking. With your abilities, why would you need my care?"
"So, I should stay and take care of Fellow Daoist Yan. Anyway, the blood and essence I left in Huangsha City has been burned, so why should I go back again?"
Seeing the other party's confident look, Yanyu's eyelids twitched.
"Okay, Fellow Daoist Xu is so kind, if I refuse, it would be my fault."
"In fact, I stayed here to break through my cultivation as soon as possible and not to hold Fellow Daoist Yan back."
Xu Chunniang smiled and promised solemnly.
"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. I only need a place to practice and I will never interfere with you, let alone compete with you for the position of Demon King."
The ominous premonition in Yanyu's heart became stronger and stronger. "Where is the place of cultivation you want?"
Xu Chunniang looked around and said, "I think this place is spacious enough. Fellow Daoist Yan can't use such a large place by himself. Why don't you give me half of it?"
"no!"
Realizing that his tone was too hasty, Yanyu paused and gave a gentle reminder.
“After some time, the news that I will replace the Night Stalker will be known to the public.
This is the place where the Demon King practices. Even though I have some personal relationship with Fellow Daoist Xu, I cannot give this place up. Otherwise, how can I maintain my dignity as the new Demon King? "
"This question is simple. Isn't it okay if you don't tell anyone else?"
Xu Chunniang had long guessed that Yanyu would use this reason to reject her, but she kept smiling.
"You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever."
Yanyu shook her head and said, "How about this? I'll find you another place to practice, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Xu Chunniang clasped her arms and smiled.
"I wonder what the other great demons in the fusion stage would think if they knew that the Dark Night Demon King was eliminated by you and me together?"
Yanyu's expression finally turned cold, "Are you threatening me?"
"I dare not. I just discussed it with Fellow Daoist Yan."
Xu Chunniang sighed, "We killed the Dark Night Demon King together, but afterwards, Fellow Daoist Yan got to enjoy the entire Dark Night City, while I only got a corpse. It's really unfair."
Yanyu was so angry that she almost laughed. She reluctantly gave up the corpse of the Dark Night Demon, but the other party still felt it was not enough and even went further and set his sights on her.
In order to seize Dark Night City, she planned for many years and paid a great price.
But Xu Chunniang didn't put in much effort, but her appetite was quite big.
Yanyu said coldly, "Dark Night City belongs to me. That was the agreed condition."
"That's right. I have no intention of competing with Fellow Daoist Yan. I just want a more secluded place to practice. The stronger I am, the more help I can provide to Fellow Daoist."
Xu Chunniang blinked her eyes. "Fellow Daoist, you said that you would do your best to help me become the Demon King. Is that a joke?"
"Of course I'm not kidding."
"I also believe that Fellow Daoist Yan sincerely hopes that I can become a demon king as soon as possible and gain the recognition of the Demon King, right?"
Having said that, Yanyu finally realized that he was in a difficult situation.
She closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was no more emotion in them.
"I can give you half of this place, but there is one thing I want you to remember clearly: Dark Night City is mine, and you are just borrowing it temporarily."
“It’s natural.”
Xu Chunniang raised her eyebrows slightly, "Fellow Daoist Yan, your kindness is noble, I will remember it in my heart."
Yanyu was in no mood to say much. After using a formation to split the palace into two halves, he disappeared behind the formation.
"Fellow Daoist Yan seems a little unhappy."
Xu Chunniang withdrew her gaze, felt the strong demonic energy around her, and smiled happily.
This is the center of the royal city and also the place where the demonic energy is the purest.
With such a good place to practice, why should she go somewhere else and waste her time
Xu Chunniang chuckled, took out the alchemy furnace, and began to refine the corpse of the Dark Night Demon King.
The Dark Night Demon is indeed a great demon in the middle stage of fusion, and the demonic energy contained in his body is very astonishing.
Because of the toughness of his demonic body, the refining speed was much slower.
Seven days passed, and he had only managed to refine a few fingers.
Compared with the huge body of the Dark Lord, these few fingers are less than one hundredth the size.
It would take at least one year to completely refine the demon body.
Just as he was about to continue refining the remaining demon body, suddenly a muffled thunder sounded from above.
Xu Chunniang seemed to sense something and looked upwards.
Her eyes seemed to see the thunder outside through the roof.
