Chapter 152 Clone
Cang Yan immediately knelt down. "Demon Lord, please reconsider! The timing is not right!"
Lin Ji stared at Cang Yan with cold eyes. Although he didn't speak, his aura was terrifying.
Cang Yan's heart pounded like a drum, and sweat poured down his face. Even so, he did not back down. "Your current cultivation level is unstable, and you may advance to the Nascent Soul stage at any time! If you go to find that person now, you might accidentally expose yourself in front of them!"
"..."
Lin Ji lowered his eyes and glanced at the girl's smiling face inside. Thinking of Cang Yan's words, he finally closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed down his violent emotions.
Yes, cultivators and demons have always been irreconcilable enemies, with cultivators especially loathing demons. If he accidentally leaked demonic energy during his advancement, and Su Luo discovered his true identity, causing her to dislike him, he would truly go mad...
He absolutely cannot let Su Luo know his true identity! Never!!
But! He couldn't just stand by and watch Su Luo be snatched away by that little thing in the secret realm!
Lin Ji lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before suddenly realizing something. He raised his eyes and said in a way that left no room for doubt, "I can choose not to go, but you must find me something."
Hearing that the Demon Lord had relented, Cang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked the Demon Lord what treasure he wanted.
"A treasure that can create clones. I remember that old man Lu Chuan had such a treasure. As long as the user drips their blood on the treasure, they can create another version of themselves."
Upon hearing this, Cang Yan frowned slightly.
It turns out that the treasure the Demon Lord was looking for was the Demon Shadow Stone!
That treasure can indeed create clones, and the clones formed are identical to the user, practically a low-end version of oneself! However, the user will have a lot of demonic energy absorbed by the Demon Shadow Stone, causing the user's body to weaken. The Demon Lord is about to advance in rank; if he becomes weak due to the Demon Shadow Stone, he might be seriously injured during the advancement process!
Lin Ji waited a while but didn't get a reply from Cang Yan. He looked up and said unhappily, "What? Didn't you hear what I said?"
"No! It's just that using the Shadow Stone has some drawbacks..."
Cang Yan had already stopped Lin Ji once, and knew he couldn't stop him a second time, so he explained all the bad things about the Demon Shadow Stone, hoping Lin Ji would reconsider.
To everyone's surprise, the young demon lord's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, and impatience gradually rose in his blood-red pupils as he stared at him. "So what? No need for nonsense, just go and get it."
Cang Yan knew he couldn't persuade him any further, so he sighed inwardly and had no choice but to accept the order and leave.
After Cang Yan withdrew, the vast hall was deserted and eerily silent. Lin Ji once again focused his gaze on the bead, intently watching Su Luo's every move inside, while his other hand unconsciously twirled the ring on his ring finger.
Aside from handling some necessary matters in the Demon Realm, Lin Ji spent the rest of the time looking at Su Luo through the bead, as if he would never get tired of it.
When Cang Yan arrived with the Shadow Stone, his heart sank even further upon seeing this scene.
Their Demon Lord, their King, has now fallen madly in love with a cultivator. If word gets out, how will things end? Who knows what kind of storm it will cause!
Lin Ji had already sensed Cang Yan's approach. He looked up, his gaze fixed intently on the other's hand. "Did you get the item?"
"Yes……"
"Then let's get started!"
A quarter of an hour later, a red light illuminated the main hall, and then a young man who looked exactly like Lin Ji appeared before the two of them. The moment the young man opened his eyes, he revealed a pair of captivating blood-red eyes, but the blood-red color quickly faded, turning into deep, dark black eyes.
He was a low-budget version of Lin Ji, possessing Lin Ji's memories and emotions, as well as half of Lin Ji's power, and his thoughts were synchronized with Lin Ji's. However, since he was made of stone, the boy's face was terrifyingly pale, and his body was ice-cold.
Lin Ji glanced down at his new body, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said to Cang Yan, "Take me out of the Demon Realm."
Cang Yan glanced at the fake "Lin Ji" on the left, then at the real "Lin Ji" on the right, and felt something was off. These two were actually the Demon Lord...
Both Lin Ji's were impatient and urged, "Hurry up! Don't make me say it a second time!"
Cang Yan didn't dare to think too much and immediately obeyed the order to leave with "Lin Ji".
After watching them leave, Lin Ji, the user, shook his still-bleeding hand, sat back on the high seat, and continued to stare down at the oblivious Su Luo.
The boy's eyes were dark, and his scarlet tongue casually licked the blood from his fingers. His voice was hoarse, but filled with an undeniable excitement, "Su Luo, soon... soon we'll be able to meet..."
For some reason, Su Luo, who was far away in the secret realm, suddenly felt a chill all over her body and sneezed several times in a row.
"Achoo! Achoo achoo!"
what happened?
Feng Xiyue asked with concern, "Su Luo, are you alright? Did you catch a cold from the cold?"
Logically speaking, once a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, their body becomes different from that of an ordinary person; ordinary birth, aging, sickness, and death are irrelevant to them. However, some cultivators are born with weak constitutions, and it's not uncommon for them to fall ill occasionally. Moreover, this Profound Ice Realm is indeed extremely cold!
Su Luo rubbed her nose and quickly waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, "We need to get going now."
Just a quarter of an hour ago, Su Luo signed a protection contract with the bamboo-eating beast, spent a long time communicating with this adorable spirit beast to build a bond, and even gave it a name—Zhu Zhu.
In addition, they received an unexpected surprise: Zhu Zhu knew this secret realm very well! The little guy not only knew how to find the teleportation arrays in these areas, but also knew how to find the Frost Lotus they needed!
That's great! Even if the Star Needle stops working, they can still follow Zhu Zhu without worrying about getting lost, and they won't waste time in the secret realm! It's practically a walking compass!
Su Luo immediately decided to set off, so the four of them and their beast set off again, heading north towards the location of the Frost Lotus. With Zhu Zhu's help, they not only moved much faster, but also avoided the various dangerous monsters in the Xuanbing Realm—it was incredibly fun!
It wasn't until they reached a somewhat unusual iceberg that Zhuzhu stopped giving directions. It suddenly stopped talking, just staring intently at the iceberg, with suspicious...drool dripping from the corner of its mouth.
Su Luo: ……
Seeing that Su Luo had stopped, Chu Wenqing quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Luo shook her head. "I don't know. Zhu Zhu suddenly stopped talking and just kept staring at that iceberg."
As she spoke, she began to examine the iceberg closely, and Chu Wenqing and the others behind her followed suit.
