Volume 6 Chapter 141: Demon Ancestor (Part 1)

As the battle continued, Ting’er realized she couldn’t defeat Wang Zegang. Her emotions seemed to grow troubled. To her surprise, Wang Zegang’s defense was incredibly strong under the mixing of Yin and Yang energies. Although Ting’er’s black fire dragon was powerful, its destructive ability was greatly reduced by the swirling Yin and Yang energies, making it hard for Ting’er to gain the upper hand.

Ting’er’s deep, dark eyes glimmered with a strange and dangerous light. With a wave of her hand, the black magical flames around her rose into the air, transforming into a black fire cloud several dozen feet wide. It floated above Wang Zegang’s head, and wherever it went, the black flames fell like raindrops, melting the ground beneath them and creating a dense cluster of small, deep holes between Ting’er and Wang Zegang.

Seeing Ting’er attacking him from both sides, a bitter smile crossed Wang Zegang’s lips. While Ting’er was not too strong in other aspects, her magical flames were among the most powerful. Faced with such an opponent, the best strategy would be to evade and fight from a distance. However, Dongfang Qingling, Zhang Ningmei, and others were not far behind him. If he tried to escape, it might endanger them, leaving him no choice but to confront her directly.

As the black fire cloud was about to fall on his head, which would cause massive destruction, Wang Zegang sighed, knowing that getting hurt this time was unavoidable.

Suddenly, Wang Zegang’s hand made a different gesture, and to his amazement, the surrounding Yin and Yang energies started to reverse. With this reversal, Wang Zegang’s power significantly increased.

"Ting’er, stop fighting and come back to me."

Just then, Xu Qingfan spoke.

It was the first time Xu Qingfan had spoken since waking up, and he was startled by his own voice. Why did it sound so cold and fierce?

On the other side, when Ting’er heard Xu Qingfan’s words, her body suddenly trembled. Her dark eyes flashed with a strange light, as if she was hesitating, or perhaps struggling.

After absorbing too much demonic energy, Ting’er’s own memories were suppressed. She acted only on instinct and the drive of demonic energy. Xu Qingfan had already faded from her heart, but when Ting’er heard his voice, she instinctively wanted to obey him, as if listening to Xu Qingfan was very important to her.

After struggling for a moment, Ting’er let out an unwilling roar at Wang Zegang, like a little beast wronged. Then, without any hesitation, she quickly returned to Xu Qingfan’s side. Her dark, indifferent eyes watched Xu Qingfan with a strange expression, as if she was curious about why she obeyed him so easily.

As Ting’er stepped back, the black fire dragon and the dark fire clouds attacking Wang Zegang also started to disappear, making Wang Zegang breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Ting’er ultimately obeyed his command, Xu Qingfan, like Wang Zegang, felt a sense of relief in his heart. However, looking at Ting’er’s curious gaze that seemed not to recognize him, and realizing that she had changed because of him, even though his heart was extremely cold under the influence of Demon Thought, he couldn’t help but feel a slight pain and a rush of sympathy and guilt.

As Ting’er returned to his side, Xu Qingfan acted without hesitation. He swiftly reached out his right hand and took Ting’er’s left hand, sending a bit of Spirit Qi into her body to explore and search for the reason behind her sudden loss of memory and consciousness.

After losing her mind, Ting’er was like a small beast easily scared that no one could believe. While Xu Qingfan held her left hand, she instinctively tried to resist and even attacked him fiercely. However, another deeper and stronger instinct told Ting’er that she shouldn’t reject any of this person’s requests. You are his, and he is yours…

This latter force was so strong that in just a moment, it completely suppressed the former one. Ting’er’s trembling body began to calm down, allowing Xu Qingfan’s Spirit Qi to flow through her. She knew very well that if Xu Qingfan had any bad intentions at that moment, he could easily control or even kill her, but Ting’er felt no worry at all.

This was a love without regret.

Quietly watching Xu Qingfan in front of her, as the initial panic faded away, a feeling of trust and reliance suddenly arose within Ting’er. Moving closer to Xu Qingfan brought Ting’er an immense sense of safety and comfort. As this feeling grew stronger, a faint sweet smile appeared on Ting’er’s usually cold and indifferent face, transformed by the demonic energy.

However, Xu Qingfan did not notice this subtle change in Ting’er; he was focused on examining her condition.

Yet, the more he learned, the tighter Xu Qingfan’s brows furrowed.

Previously, every time Xu Qingfan tried to investigate Ting’er’s condition, the Spirit Qi he sent into her body was refined into demonic energy, merging into her. After many unsuccessful attempts, he had long given up. Now, Xu Qingfan was sending "Qi of Demonic Death" into Ting’er to check on her state. The "Qi of Demonic Death" had strong demonic energy characteristics. He thought this time it wouldn’t be absorbed by the demonic energy in Ting’er’s body, but to his surprise, the situation became even more serious. It seemed that "Qi of Demonic Death" really liked Ting’er’s body, trying hard to break free from Xu Qingfan’s control and merge into her.

Ting’er’s affinity for demonic energy was far beyond what Xu Qingfan could match.

However, Xu Qingfan was now one of the rare strong ones in the world. Even among human masters, only a few could match his strength. His control over Spirit Qi was much greater than before, yet he still examined Ting’er’s body before the "Qi of Demonic Death" turned into the purest demonic energy and merged into her.

The result of the examination was simply no result.

Ting’er’s condition was similar to before, but the amount of demonic energy inside her was four to five times stronger. However, this could not explain why Ting’er was lost in her mind at this moment.

"Are you very curious about her current condition?"

Just as Xu Qingfan was deep in thought, an incredibly ancient voice suddenly rang in his ears. Xu Qingfan’s body trembled, and when he looked up, he saw an old man in purple standing in front of him. Even though the old man was speaking to him, his eyes were fixed tightly on Ting’er beside him. His expression was ordinary, but the overwhelming aura of authority that surrounded him was unlike anything Xu Qingfan had seen in his life, even more impressive than the leader of the Righteous Alliance, Immortal Zizhen.

Meanwhile, Wang Zegang, Dongfang Qingling, and the others who had been approaching Xu Qingfan were now lying unconscious on the ground without him realizing it.
