I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 399: Forbidden Secrets of the Demon Palace

The investigation results of the snowfall broom eased the mind of Mo Xingzi.

When she arrived, the Palace Master specifically ordered that these four cultivators from the south be discreetly taken away, making sure that the traces are not discovered by the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain.

Moreover, she must not allow the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain to closely follow behind.

Therefore, it is the lord of the palace who bestowed upon Mo Xingzi the Snowfall Broom, with the intention of ensuring that Mo Xingzi executes all endeavors flawlessly, without allowing even the slightest imperfection to arise.

Mo Xingzi was equally worried about being pursued by the Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain. Even though this terrifying deity, known far and wide, was located in the distant southern heavens, Mo Xingzi, residing in the Arctic Skyark Palace, dared not underestimate its ominous reputation.

Now, upon seeing that the investigation into the broom has yielded no results, a smile once again graced the countenance of Mo Xingzi. She remarked, "It was a false alarm, haha… Mr. Ning, you are as cautious as ever."

The stoic Ning Po stared at the Snowfall Broom for a while before speaking, "For the sake of safety, we should leave as soon as possible. The Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain is enigmatic and unfathomable. Despite our cautious efforts to evade and hide, we have been unable to shake off its pursuit. We are unaware of what mysterious methods it has employed to track our whereabouts."

"I even suspect that it has long been aware of our exact whereabouts, but it is biding its time, wanting to lure us out of hiding…"

Ningpo gauged others by his own measure, a worried Mo Xingzi cautioned.

Mo Xingzi couldn't help but grow apprehensive upon hearing this, and she responded, "If that is the case, then indeed we should not linger any longer."

Upon surveying the four malevolent demons before her, as well as the indifferent demeanor of the Wolf God's disciple in the vicinity, Mo Xingzi uttered, "Since the circumstances are perilous, let us embark forthwith."

Mo Xingzi, with her sleeves swaying gracefully, released six sacred flags. She elegantly handed each flag to Ning Po, Xie Yunniang, and the majestic Red-blue Twin Devils, whilst retaining one in her own elegant grasp. As for the final flag, she swiftly flung it through the air, allowing it to gracefully land within the palm of Sun Yan.

Observing the slightly furrowed brow of the young man, Mo Xingzi smiled politely and extended a courteous gesture, expressing, "By the command of the palace master, I humbly request Mr. Sun's presence to journey towards the Arctic Skyark Palace, and I sincerely hope that Mr. Sun will honor us with his presence."

Behind Mo Xingzi, all four evil demons turned to look.

Amidst the swirling snowflakes descending from the sky, the slender figure of the young boy stood up, holding the command flag. He neither resisted nor expressed anger, but rather accepted the flag with a detached expression.

"Let's go," Sun Yan approached the five evil demons, holding the command flag, without any intention of resisting or fleeing.

The nearby villagers witnessed this scene, all slightly astonished… Wasn't this young boy being held hostage by the evil demons? Why does it now appear that they are in cahoots?

Mo Xingzi was greatly amazed by the young man's reaction. She chuckled and remarked, "Mr. Sun's composure in the face of change is truly admirable and commands respect."

Sun Yan's lips curved slightly, he glanced at her with a forced smile, and remained silent without uttering a word.

Mo Xingzi, upon witnessing this spectacle, ceased her futile endeavors and turned her gaze towards the four wicked demons at her side. She voiced, "These six insignias, crafted by the palace's leader, Lingyu, possess the ability to traverse vast distances and enter alternate dimensional spaces. They enable the return to the focal point within the Arctic Skyark Palace, resembling the precious artifact of the Human Emperor Palace, the Floating Light Boat."

"Of course, the Nine Phoenix command flags cannot match the speed of the Floating Light Boat. It would take several days to travel from here to the Skyark Palace. However, in comparison to the Floating Light Boat, the advantage of these Nine Phoenix command flags lies in their concealment and safety."

"After activating the power of the command flags, they establish a connection with distant focal points, allowing us to enter alternate dimensional spaces. We can then travel from the fringes of the mortal world, free from the constraints of earthly laws, making it impossible for beings within the mortal realm to detect our presence."

Mo Xingzi chuckled merrily and exclaimed, "Even if the unparalleled Wolf God of Hanyu Mountain unleashes its divine might, once the flag is activated, it will permanently relinquish knowledge of your whereabouts, dear fellows."

Mo Xingzi's explanation made Blue Devil nod repeatedly, saying, "Truly remarkable, truly remarkable! The Lord of the Nine Phoenix Palace is indeed extraordinary, displaying a divine authority and thorough consideration that renders one utterly amazed."

Blue Devil caressed the command flag in his hand, his expression filled with fascination.

Upon witnessing the reaction of Blue Devil, Mo Xingzi felt somewhat bewildered. Among the four evil demons present, apart from Ning Po who was already acquainted with Skyark Palace, Mo Xingzi had never encountered the remaining three. Therefore, Mo Xingzi wondered why this azure-hued demon showed such profound respect towards the palace's master…

Mo Xingzi was a little confused, and Ning Po urged, "Please use the command flags. The longer we delay, the more dangers the night may bring."

Ningpo, who was usually calm and silent, was now extremely restless. Although they have confirmed that there were no living beings around, unease still lingered in its heart.

Under the urging of Ning Po, Mo Xingzi, who originally had much to say in formal language, felt somewhat reluctant.

The scene where these primordial demons seek refuge, how can it be handled so hastily? However, under the persistent urging of Ning Po, who insisted on discussing matters at Skyark Palace, Mo Xingzi had no choice but to comply.

She raised the command flag in her hand, under the guidance of evil energy, causing the command flags held by the six individuals present to emit a faint halo. This Nine Phoenix command flag was connecting with the distant Arctic Skyark Palace, as long as it resonated with the aura of the formation there, the six of them could instantly disappear.

In a relatively short period of waiting, Mo Xingzi cast a gaze towards the villagers at her side.

The villagers were divided into two groups, each standing within a green and a red aura respectively, nervously and fearfully observing the malevolent presence on this side.

Mo Xingzi said, "What unholy sorcery are you all intending to employ by gathering these mortals here?"

The Red Devil sighed and said, "It was not about utilizing dark magic, but rather a desire to entertain you, the envoy… Tonight is New Year's Eve, and we feel sorry for the long journey you have undertaken. That is why we wished to arrange a grand feast in your honor."

Blue Devil chuckled and said, "My brother and I are masters in the art of cooking with human ingredients. Even before attaining our powers, we were renowned for our brutal cultivates in the demonic realm. Don't be deceived by these mere mortals; with the meticulous culinary skills of my brother and me, even the most ordinary mortal can be transformed into a delectable delicacy!"

The Red Devil then sighed once more and lamented, "Regrettably, time is not on our side. These mortals cannot be cooked for now, but we shall have to seize another opportunity to entertain our esteemed emissary in the future."

The mention of the Red-blue Twin Devils caused a slight furrowing of Mo Xingzi's brow.

It glanced at the group of mortals before it, and then at the Red-blue Twin Devils, and said, "I acknowledge the kindness of you, but let us cease this matter here."

As Mo Xingzi spoke, she casually waved her sleeves. In an instant, a shimmering cold light flashed across the snowy ground, causing the villagers standing there to freeze in place. Their skin rapidly turned ashen and they transformed into icy statues.

All vitality extinguished.

After annihilating this group of onlooker cognoscenti, Mo Xingzi proceeded to expound upon the four demons before her eyes.

"In Skyark Palace, we are not particularly fond of consuming humans, especially those with little cultivation and negligible benefits to our demonic cultivates. We have always refrained from feasting on such individuals."

"Moreover, the palace master doesn't appreciate the mere act of consuming humans out of sheer gluttony. Since you are intending to visit Skyark Palace, it is imperative to forewarn you about this taboo. Please refrain from engaging in such senseless slaughter within the palace, as it would offend the palace master's principles."
