Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 155 Obtaining the Demon Lord's Fragment! Subduing the Demon General and 1 Demon Souls!

"You've obtained the Demon Lord's inheritance?!" The demon-horned woman stared at Shen Yun with shock in her eyes, her tone extremely sharp:

"How is this possible?!"

With just one sentence from the other party, not only did the demonic energy within her become uncontrollable, but her strength also plummeted to rock bottom!

She desperately wanted to say that it was all fake, all an illusion!

Unfortunately, she is very lucid now.

The Demon Lord's legacy exists only in legends. It is said that even the Eternal Emperor did not receive the Demon Lord's legacy when he was on this ancient star!

The powerful figures in Baiyujing searched for countless years, but found not a single clue.

As the successor of the Demon General, she had met the Demon General.

Even the previous generation of Demon Generals had never seen the so-called Demon Lord.

Thus, the Demon Lord's legacy has a more convincing explanation:

Only demon cultivators who reach the peak of their cultivation will become Demon Lords.

Or, by collecting so-called fragments of the Demon Lord's legacy, one might have the chance to become the Demon Lord!

But now, someone has actually obtained the Demon Lord's inheritance?!

It happened right after she was born.

This not only shattered her dream of becoming the Demon Lord, but also left her with a near-death experience.

Because she sensed the holy weapon suspended in the air, emanating wisps of chilling sword energy!

The red flames burning on the sword, in particular, made her feel extremely dangerous.

'These flames are terrifying! I must not resist, or I will surely die…'

Shen Yun looked at the kneeling, demonic figure of the woman, her voice indifferent.

"Besides here, where else are there demonic secret realms?"

"Reporting to...Reporting to the Demon Lord, I, Huo Xin, am unaware." Huo Xin had barely finished speaking.

Buzz!

The aura of the holy weapon above her head surged, and the sword trembled slightly, startling her so much that she immediately knelt on the ground, her voice filled with fear:

"I truly do not know, I beg the Demon Lord to show mercy!! I am certain that I can become the Demon Lord's right-hand man! There are also ten thousand demon souls in the secret realm for the Demon Lord to command!"

The stronger the sword energy, the more anxious the bewitching mind becomes!

She absolutely did not want to be sealed away for so long only to be released dead.

"By the way! I have a fragment of inheritance! The Demon Lord can use this method to control us, and we will never betray you!"

As she spoke, a smooth light flashed between Huoxin's brows, and a crystalline substance billowed out, shrouded in black mist.

[Fragment of the Demon Lord's Legacy - Demon Lord's Slave Mark: A method used by the Demon Lord to control his subordinates. Those marked with the slave mark who dare to betray him will suffer the backlash of the mark on the spot, resulting in their immediate death and dissipation!]

Having a lineage doesn't mean she's the Demon Lord, because in the face of the Demon Lord's oppressive aura, everything else is insignificant.

Seeing that Shen Yun had put away the fragments, Zhang Ruofeng smiled, cupped his hands, and suggested:

"Fellow Daoist Shen, why not spare this woman's life? Ten thousand demonic souls can be used to guard the city; it will surely have a miraculous effect!"

"Absolutely!" Chen Fei, standing to the side, smiled and stroked his beard.

"Now, besides demons and the Evil Soul Hall, our enemies also include powerful nations from various countries that covet our strength! Having more power is always a good thing."

"Very well." After absorbing the fragment of the Demon Lord, Shen Yun looked at Huo Xin kneeling on the ground and raised his hand to summon the Slave Seal:

"Are you willing to submit?"

"Yes!" Huo Xin answered without hesitation.

She had met masters before, but she had never seen the flames on the Void Flying Sword give her such a deadly sense of danger!

This fire must have an extraordinary origin!

In addition, this human has a sacred weapon and the inheritance of the Demon Lord at such a young age, his luck is truly heaven-defying!

'Following him, maybe I can have a better future...'

Huo Xin directly separated a wisp of his divine soul and attached it to the slave seal.

at the same time.

Shen Yun then had some additional information in his mind:

【Slave Contract Holder - Bewitching Heart】

[Current Realm: Fifth Level of Soul Forging (Absorbs the energy of inner demons of living beings, allowing for rapid recovery of cultivation)]

Loyalty Status: 100 points (Maximum value, never drops)

[Race: Demon Race - Succubus]

[Racial Instinct: Activating automatically at 2%... (Note: After acquiring a master, the instinct will gradually be released; current progress is 2%. Once it reaches 100%, the master will need to help develop the instinct, and both parties will benefit.)]

[Current Status: Soul Form (The succubus's true form is sealed in a secret realm; it can only be revived by absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy)]

[Number of subordinates: 10328 demonic souls (You can leave the secret realm after finding a suitable host)]

[Note: Demonic souls can also restore their strength by absorbing the inner demons of living beings.]

'Fifth level of Soul Forging?' Shen Yun murmured.

"Get up."

The level isn't very high, but fortunately, it can still be improved.

The key point is that these ten thousand-plus demon souls will not betray him!

The higher his official rank, the larger his territory will become. At that time, these demonic souls can cooperate with Qin Shitong and others to help him guard the town.

"Thank you, Demon Lord!" Huo Xin breathed a sigh of relief, having been spared from death.

She glanced at everyone present and, seeing that they took the Demon Lord Shen Yun very seriously, stopped hiding her intentions.

"Demon Lord, if we can find ten thousand people to parasitize, these demonic souls will surely help you dominate the region!"

"Parasitism?" Shen Yun frowned.

Where is he supposed to find 10,000 people?

It's a pity that monsters aren't an option, otherwise it wouldn't be difficult to catch ten thousand of them in the mountains.

"Demon Lord," Huoxin explained, "the consciousness of these demonic souls is gone; all that remains are the demonic heritage and secret manuals. They won't steal the minds of others. As long as someone comes, they can inherit the powerful abilities of the demonic race. Right now, all we need to do is spread the word, and someone will definitely come!"

The demon soul has no consciousness, but whoever obtains the demon soul will be directly controlled by her and Shen Yun!

"I see!" Zhang Ruofeng said with a smile.

“If it’s just about obtaining the inheritance, then many people will indeed come! Fellow Daoist Shen, it’s probably not appropriate to recruit so many people. There are quite a few criminals in China, and if we select 1 from among them, I’m sure some people will come.”

Moreover, this is a job to be Shen Yun's subordinate, and there will definitely be people vying for it!

“That works too.” Shen Yun nodded, then, as if remembering something, looked at Zhang Ruofeng and Chen Feitu:

"These demonic souls need inner demon energy to restore their strength. Do you two have any ideas on how to extradite them to the island nation?"

Since Xiao Rizi is still determined to steal, then let's send the demon soul over.

Isn't that the perfect place to fatten up animals?

As for whether it will cause chaos in the other country?

This is none of his business.

"Extra the island nation?" As a representative of the hawks, Zhang Ruofeng's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

Chen Feitu, a conservative, nodded in agreement.

"This plan is brilliant!"

Zhengde has already informed the Demon Suppression Division about Yang Meihui's matter!

This is just one example. Nobody knows how many traitors and underlings are stirring up trouble in China.

Now is the perfect time to use their own methods against them!

“We’ll handle this; Fellow Daoist Shen, you don’t need to worry about it,” Zhang Ruofeng said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you two." Shen Yun smiled and cupped his hands in greeting. Sending so many people to the island nation is a huge undertaking, and having the Demon Suppression Division handle it will make things much easier.

'Hmm? Another breakthrough is imminent!' Sensing the surge of energy within his body, he leaped onto his flying sword:

"That's settled then. Farewell, fellow Daoists! I'll head back now."

"Demon Lord, when are you coming?" Huo Xin asked instinctively as she took a few steps forward when she saw him about to leave.

This left Huoxin rather helpless: 'Sigh, having a master makes my brain start to overheat.'

This is the nature of succubi, which will gradually turn her into a slave who has lost herself and only cares about her master.

Even their plaything!

But since she had chosen this path in order to survive, she would continue on it even if she had to crawl on her knees.

"Let's talk about it another time." Shen Yun glanced at her and then disappeared.

"You can either wait here for your main body to recover, or lead the demon soul to the island nation to increase its strength."

'This utterly unwavering attitude... does it mean they don't care about us...?' Huo Xin glanced at her ethereal body, now shrouded in demonic energy:

'If my true form were seen, my master would be completely captivated... Ugh, what a brain of mine!'

Huo Xin patted his head speechlessly, interrupting this bizarre idea.
