Chapter 104: The Demon Who Aims to Become the Demon Emperor
Before the organization was even established, Zhou Tong had already begun to think about cultivating its members. It was hard to tell whether he was being strategic or overly ambitious.
Moreover, he intended to cultivate the members in Fengdu, which suggested that he had extremely high expectations for them. The intensity of his training methods was daunting, leaving some feeling uneasy.
However, if there were enough Spiritwood to enhance the physical abilities of the members and a place that was absolutely safe, Fengdu could indeed be considered an excellent location for their training.
Lian Yun had little to add to this.
But Murong Ying said, “Originally, we wanted two Spiritwoods; one for the flowers. However, what Mr. Zhou provided has already exceeded my initial goal. Now it seems unnecessary to pursue that. The other one, the Twinflower, is located at the junction between the southeastern districts and within Fengdu itself. Perhaps we should head in that direction.”
“Let’s acquire that Twinflower first and then return to handle other matters, shall we?”
“Hmm! Why didn’t you say so earlier, Young Master Yun!” Zhou Tong replied with some irritation.
To him, sacrificing a few resources was acceptable as long as there were greater benefits in return.
Over the past century, many Evil Spirit Cities had produced a significant amount of Spiritwood, but only a few were well-known. One reason was that certain families treated this knowledge as their own treasure and refused to share it with outsiders.
Another reason was that most Spiritwood could not be preserved intact, making it difficult to ascertain their full effects and leading to confusion in naming them.
The Twinflower was among the most famous types of Spiritwood known.
While it did not grant individuals powerful abilities, it allowed for a deep connection between people’s hearts and minds.
Typically, the Twinflower was highly sought after by deeply loving couples.
However, when used on twins, it exhibited even more magical effects. Not only did it enable complete communication between them, but at times it could also enhance their cultivation together—effectively doubling their progress as if they were one person training.
Most importantly, twins possessed a unique ability to transmit thoughts over great distances.
In today's world, information technology has reached an extreme level, and communication over vast distances has become commonplace.
However, because of this rapid advancement, information communication is quite insecure. The communications of some prominent families have been intercepted by hackers among ordinary people and made public. Such incidents are not uncommon and happen frequently, leading to significant losses for these families.
Therefore, many times, information is still transmitted using ancient methods—through letters.
If the twins in Murong Ying's team possess the ability to transmit thoughts over long distances, it would undoubtedly play a huge role when their influence grows in the future.
At this moment, Zhou Tong no longer cares about how many Evil Spirits he can kill or how many powerful Ghost Slaves he can acquire. With the Evil Spirit Tide just retreating into Fengdu and needing some time to rest, it is the perfect opportunity to obtain the twin flowers.
Thus, Zhou Tong urged Lian Yun to change their plan and head southeast towards the junction with Fengdu at a rapid pace.
Lian Yun naturally had no objections; after all, some resources could not compare to enhancing the individual strength within the team.
Moreover, pursuing the tail of the Evil Spirit Tide was fraught with danger. It was merely intended to increase their gains and was not of great importance.
With that, Lian Yun led the team in a new direction, hoping to encounter some of the Tyrant Spirits they had faced earlier.
It should be noted that although those Spirits were considered Tyrants, they were only in a desperate situation at that time. The fact that they could still form hundreds or thousands of Spirits indicated their excellent organizational abilities.
As long as they could capture one or two, it would surely enhance the Ghost Battle Body strength of one or two members in the team.
Although there might be Spirits 'chasing' from behind, Lian Yun and the others did not mind; all eleven moved forward together.
Interestingly, Azure Flower, who was originally the slowest in the team, seemed to have increased her speed significantly due to consuming Spiritwood. In contrast, Jia Shuhua and Moe Girl Ye, who were adept at defense, found their speed reduced the most.
However, no one in the entire team cared about this; they simply maintained their formation and advanced like arrows shooting forward.
Before long, they encountered a group of Spirits.
However, before Lian Yun and the others could get close, the group of Spirits automatically parted. A particularly massive Spirit suddenly turned around and arrogantly declared, "You dare to pursue me? Are you not afraid of death?"
As it spoke, an incredibly powerful aura emanated from its body. With Lian Yun's experience, he knew that this aura was definitely not weaker than that of an Upper Tier King.
Yet, instead of feeling fear, Lian Yun's eyes lit up. In an instant, he broke away from the team, with Wu Tai already in hand.
"Stop, stop, stop! I surrender! I submit! Why are you being so unreasonable?"
Lian Yun halted a short distance away from the Spirit, feeling quite awkward. He thought to himself, "This Spirit is really something else!"
Zhou Tong and the others quickly arrived by Lian Yun's side. Zhou Tong flashed a charming smile and said, "Not bad, you know how to assess the situation. But you’re a bit spineless!"
"What? You call me spineless? Why don’t you try switching places with me!" the Spirit retorted angrily.
Lian Yun and Murong Ying exchanged glances, both at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Zhou Tong was indeed right; this peculiar Spirit truly understood how to gauge the situation.
The fact that they had arrived at this moment indicated that their strength was extraordinary. Thus, when someone approached, the Spirit had already considered not resisting.
However, it still wanted to intimidate them with its aura; perhaps it thought it could scare them off!
But facing someone like Lian Yun, who was 'unreasonable,' it really had no other choice but to obediently surrender.
If Zhou Tong had switched places with it, he would likely have acted similarly—unless he was willing to throw his life away.
Although the Spirit surrendered quickly, it pointed at Lian Yun and said, "I am destined to become a Demon Emperor! I am not just any ghost; I will only follow a strong person like you! No one else stands a chance!"
"Oh? For now, I don't need any other Ghost Friends. If you don’t want to follow anyone else..."
"Wait, wait, wait~~ He or she can only follow one of you three. Otherwise, I'd rather have my soul scattered!" The other party initially showed fear, but then pointed at Zhou Tong and Murong Ying, becoming resolute with an attitude of defiance.
"Hmm? Not bad!" Zhou Tong said, slightly surprised.
The other person immediately became smug and replied, "Of course! I'm destined to become the Demon Emperor!"
"The Demon Emperor, is that your only goal?" The way he kept insisting he could become the Demon Emperor left Lian Yun both amused and exasperated.
"The Demon Emperor? Who do you think you are? Looking down on the Demon Emperor, huh? Aren't you afraid the wind will blow your tongue away?"
"My name is Lian Yun. I wonder if you've heard of me!"
"Pfft~~" The other person spat in anger, and then his expression darkened, his eyes shifting unpredictably, his breath unstable.
However, in the end, his face fell as he weakly said, "Who will take me in?"
"At least you have some self-awareness!" Zhou Tong smirked and stepped forward.
