Huang Feiya ran away, but Xu Chunniang didn't take it to heart.
It was because of her negligence that she accidentally imprisoned Phoenix Feather Crow for hundreds of years. It was lively by nature and could not stand loneliness, so it was only natural that it would choose to run away.
It's just that after careful calculation, she only has more than twenty years left in the demon world.
If Phoenix Feather Crow couldn't get back to her before she entered Spirit Demon Island, they would have to part ways.
No matter what, it was born in the devil world and grew up in the devil world.
Perhaps staying here is a better choice for Huang Feiya.
"Scorpion woman."
The scorpion woman opened her eyes, a look of surprise flashed across her face, "Sir, you are finally out of seclusion!"
Your Excellency, you have been in seclusion this time for too long, a full two hundred years!
Several times, she even wondered if something had happened to him while he was in seclusion.
But out of trust in Xu Chunniang, she suppressed this thought as soon as it appeared.
"Don't worry, this is the last time. Will something big happen while I'm in seclusion?"
"A lot of great things have happened in the past two hundred years, but no matter how turbulent the outside world is, Dark Night City has always stood firm."
The scorpion woman looked excited and briefly told the major events that had happened in the past two hundred years before speaking.
"Sir, when you were in seclusion, Uza from Dark Night City came to see you, but I said you were in seclusion and sent him away."
"I understand, we have stayed in Dark Night City for many years, and it's time to leave. But before leaving, we should say hello to the owner."
As if thinking of something interesting, Xu Chunniang smiled slightly and said, "Let's go, you come with me."
"Are you going to see the city lord?"
A trace of curiosity arose in the heart of the scorpion woman. There were many rumors about the Lord of Dark Night City.
Some people say that he died a long time ago and that someone else is in charge of Dark Night City now.
Some people also say that the Night Stalker survived the catastrophe, but was a blessing in disguise, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds, allowing the Night City to stand firm for hundreds of years.
But in fact, few people know that the Night Stalker has long been wiped out of his mind and turned into a high-level puppet without self-awareness.
"That's right. Her name is Yan Yu. You have actually met her before."
"Really? Yanyu, this name seems a bit familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere."
A flash of doubt flashed in the scorpion woman's eyes.
"When we were in Huangsha City before, she and a gray wolf attacked my formation."
"It turns out to be her!"
The scorpion woman was surprised and didn't quite understand.
She has attacked the master's formation before, and is an enemy rather than a friend, but judging from the tone of the master, it seems that she is quite familiar with her?
"That's her. Once you meet her, just pretend you've never seen her before."
Xu Chunniang did not explain much, and left the side hall with Granny Xie and walked towards the most eye-catching palace in the palace.
When the two of them approached, Yanyu had already noticed it and activated the formation.
She sat in the palace, casually glanced at the Scorpion Woman who was half a step behind, and looked at Xu Chunniang.
"You are finally out of seclusion. If you continue to be in seclusion, I will doubt whether you want to go to Lingmo Island or not."
"It is said that the Spirit Demon Island holds the secret to becoming a real demon. If I have the chance, of course I would like to experience it."
Xu Chunniang smiled and said, "I'm here just to say goodbye to you. Maybe I'll see you again next time on Lingmo Island."
"Finally planning to take action to rob a royal city?"
Yanyu raised his eyebrows, "Have you chosen your target? Do you need my help?"
"No need, it wasn't me who did it, it was her."
Saying that, Xu Chunniang pointed to the scorpion woman next to her.
"she?"
Yanyu frowned and looked at Granny Scorpion.
"My cultivation level is pretty good. It may be possible to become a Demon King, but the qualification to enter the Demonic Island is not that easy to obtain.
Aren't you afraid that she will die in the hands of other demon kings and that all the years of planning will be in vain?"
"She can."
Xu Chunniang is really not afraid. In order to avoid any accidents, she will make some small moves to ensure that the Scorpion Girl will be selected without fail.
Yan Yu frowned, "You asked her to take action on your behalf. Could it be that you wanted to avoid the demon emperor's demonic mark in this way?"
"Yes, this move is too risky and is not appropriate."
Xu Chunniang simply admitted that letting go of the soul completely and allowing others to leave imprints on the soul was tantamount to giving life into other people's hands.
There is no way she would accept such a thing.
"I said that I have a way to remove the mark left by the Demon Emperor, don't you believe me? I will never risk my own life."
Yanyu suppressed his anger and persuaded patiently, "As long as you endure it, it will be relieved when you get to the Spirit Demon Island.
Before that, we are safe, the Demon King is still waiting for us to bring the treasure out from the Spirit Demon Island, and he will not kill us at all."
"Then tell me, what specific method can be used to remove the Demon King's brand?"
Yanyu froze slightly. This was the method she planned to use to manipulate the other party. Naturally, she had no intention of doing so. She would tell Xu Chunniang the method now.
"What's the rush? I'll tell you when the time comes."
Xu Chunniang smiled softly, "Fellow Taoist Yan is really a good calculator. Are you sure that he will use this method to manipulate me on Lingmo Island in the future?"
Yanyu's face changed slightly, and he pretended to be angry, "Why do you say this, Fellow Daoist Xu? I think I treat you well, and I even gave you the magic gathering array in the city, so how could I deliberately embarrass you?"
Moreover, fellow Taoist Xu doesn’t believe me, but since I’ve made an oath first, I should believe it, right?”
"Don't be angry. I was just saying casually. Fellow Taoist Yan, there is no need to be angry. It's just that I have made up my mind and don't want to be controlled by others. Please forgive me, Fellow Taoist Yan."
Yanyu tried to persuade her a few more times, but seeing that Xu Chunniang was determined, she didn't want to persuade him any more, so she had to suppress her worry.
She was disgusted with Xu Chunniang's failure to follow the plan, and also regretted that she did not support a truly powerful demon cultivator like her.
However, it was too risky to support others to rise to power, so she would rather do it herself.
"Okay, now that you have made a decision, I don't have much to say. Is the scarlet bunting I gave you still there?"
"Still."
After all, it was given by Yanyu, and Xu Chunniang never touched it because she was afraid that there was something fishy about it.
After being sealed, it has been thrown into the corner of the Mustard Seed Space, gathering dust for hundreds of years.
"When you enter Lingmo Island, you can take the Red Bunting with you so that you can communicate with me through it."
After explaining the efficacy of Scarlet Bunting, Yanyu glanced at Granny Scorpion, still a little uneasy.
"Can she really do it?"
Xu Chunniang is an important part of her plan. Without her, the success rate would be reduced by one to two percent.
"Don't worry, the person I choose will certainly be able to do it."
"Well, I hope you will do what you say and don't let me down."
Yanyu gave Xu Chunniang a deep look, like an ally who cares about her very much, "I'm waiting for your good news."
Xu Chunniang curled her lips, thinking of the dead gray wolf, "See you on Spirit Demon Island."
