Chapter 1403: Daqian's Number 1 Noble Young Lord (Part 2)

His small figure remained motionless, seemingly in meditation, as his blood-red robe fluttered in the fierce wind, like blood, like hell, exuding awe-inspiring power.

Suddenly.

A subtle red light swiftly flew across the sky, landing in the head of the Blood Child Demon Monarch’s avatar.

This was the secret technique for communication between the true body and the avatar.

In essence, this avatar was a divine thought separated from the Blood Child Demon Monarch’s own divine soul, refined into a soul seed through a cultivation technique, granting it numerous uses.

Since the divine soul inherently forms a singular entity, a natural connection exists between the avatar and the true body, allowing them to communicate conveniently through secret techniques. Being a secret technique related to divine souls, its communication speed far surpasses typical methods, with delays lasting only a day or two even over tens of thousands of miles.

Even the Child-Mother Talisman held by the Yin Snake Demoness couldn’t match its transmission speed.

This was indeed a remarkable divine technique, and a source of pride for the Blood Child Demon Monarch.

One could say, unless someone can crack the long-lost instant communication methods of the Divine Martial Dynasty, his secret technique remains the most efficient conventional means of communication in this world.

Of course, the Blood Child Demon Monarch at this moment was still unaware that someone in the world had developed instant communication methods.

In less than a breath, the Blood Child Demon Monarch’s avatar had processed the information transmitted from the true body.

His previously calm face suddenly changed dramatically, and he roared: “Useless, useless! How could Yuanyou and Yanqing fail at such a trivial matter, truly unworthy of being the Great Emperor!”

Just then, a subtle gray light flashed across the sky.

The Yin Snake Demoness swiftly descended from the sky.

Her expression was likewise unpleasant, and upon hearing the Blood Child Demon Monarch’s avatar’s curses, she hurriedly asked: “Demon Monarch, what has happened?”

The Blood Child Demon Monarch’s avatar’s face twisted slightly, his tone icy: “The armies of Southern Qin and Western Jin have both been defeated catastrophically, and our plan to divert Longchang and Jiang Zhencang has failed.”

“What?” The Yin Snake Demoness’s face changed dramatically, “This is terrible! My disciple, Chi Mei Demon Envoy, just sent back intelligence via a secret channel saying she has infiltrated the Wang Family’s exploration team. The Wang Family has found the true entrance to the Blood Venerable’s relic, though it is temporarily blocked by an array. The Wang Family is trying to crack the array.”

The Yin Snake Demoness became increasingly anxious as she spoke: “Demon Monarch, what should we do? Are we really going to just watch as the Blood Venerable’s relic is excavated?”

The Blood Child Demon Monarch’s expression grew even darker.

The Blood Venerable’s relic was too important to him, as it was crucial for him to break into the True Immortal Realm’s threshold. He had already claimed it as his own, and would not tolerate others interfering.

He immediately spoke gloomily: “Did Chi Mei mention when the array will be broken?”

“Chi Mei said the array is formidable, yet it seems the Wang Family harbors some selfish intentions and is unwilling to share the relic with others, currently attempting to crack it themselves,” said the Yin Snake Demoness urgently.

“Humph! That is a True Immortal Relic, the temptation of wealth is overpowering. If I were the Wang Family, I wouldn’t share if I had hope of solving it myself either.” The Blood Child Demon Monarch’s avatar smirked coldly, “Thus, we might still have a chance. I will notify the true body immediately, urging the two nations to continue attacking the East Qian at any cost.”

“Demon Monarch, given this failure, Western Jin and Southern Qin might be too scared, right?” The Yin Snake Demoness expressed concern.

“What are you worried about? It’s merely a matter of bribery and intimidation. As long as they are willing to act, any cost is worth it. The timing will not wait for anyone, I will send the signal now~”

“The Demon Monarch is insightful.”

Upon hearing this, hope flickered in the Yin Snake Demoness’s eyes.

After a brief pause, the Yin Snake Demoness added: “Demon Monarch, we may have to wait here for some time. We can’t possibly continue to eat and sleep in the wind and dew. How about I build a house?”

The Blood Child Demon Monarch’s avatar: “…”

Time passed little by little.

Unknowingly, a small cottage in a rural style appeared atop the once barren hill. Though the wooden house wasn’t large, the yard outside had quite a few Spirit Vegetables and Spirit Fruits planted, filled with an air of life.

Inside the wooden house, seated on a makeshift wooden chair, the Blood Child Demon Monarch received the latest news, his expression uplifted: “Good, good, good! This time, muster the forces to attack East Qian head-on, we should be able to draw away those two old geezers with nothing better to do.”

Three months later.

Another angry rant emerged from the Blood Child Demon Monarch within the house: “Why are those damned East Qian troops so hard to deal with? They only know to turtle up at the gate and hang non-aggression tokens, like a bunch of turtles… This won’t do, I’ve heard the Wang Family has already figured out how to crack the array, we must push them to hasten the attack at any cost.”

Five years later.

The somewhat worn cottage once again echoed the invigorated voice of the Blood Child Demon Monarch: “Very well, this time we’ve breached the gate’s walls! Though we ultimately fell short, this is a good start. Yin Snake, how are things on the Wang Family’s side?”

“Chi Mei just sent word back, the array is already three-tenths cracked!”

“What? Then we must hurry, I’ll report to the true body to urge them further.”

Ten years later.

“So close, just so close~~” Inside the cottage, the Blood Child Demon Monarch appeared furious and annoyed, “So close to storming in the gate! Damn East Qian Kingdom, how many troops have died over these years, and yet why are those two old foxes still at the Wang Family?”

“Demon Monarch, they reportedly have become obsessed with a game called ‘Mahjong’, hence they’ve been hanging around the Wang Family.”

“Humph! They haven’t been hurt enough yet!” The Blood Child Demon Monarch’s expression grew fierce, “Keep attacking, once we breach the barrier and penetrate deep into East Qian, I refuse to believe those two old geezers can remain calm!”
