Transmigration: The Breathtaking Villain is Forced into Love by the Blackened Protagonist chapter 88

Chapter 88: Demon Lord Nan Lou

The news brought by the refugees was not wrong.

The Great Mo had already passed the stage of rampant slaughter of the Ren and Yao races after first obtaining the bodies of the powerful.

Now, those Great Mo who possessed intelligence had begun to spontaneously elect their strongest as their leader and had started dividing territories.

They also began domesticating the Ren and Yao races as slaves and livestock for their use and consumption.

There was only one strongest Mo Zhu, named Nan Lou, whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Dujieqi.

Under his command were twelve powerful Great Mo, all of whom were absolute experts ranging from the middle to late stages of the Dujieqi.

They were now working together, continuously expanding their domain.

They had already conquered the northern part of the continent.

Further south, they would reach Chihe Cheng.

The commoners were naturally in a state of panic.

Lou Yunxiao also knew that relying solely on his and Bai Wanru’s strength wouldn’t work.

During this period, he went around looking for experts with the same cultivation level as his, hoping to invite them to come forward and join forces to fight the Great Mo.

Meanwhile, Bai Wanru was no longer in the mood to relax and had returned to her state of desperately forging the Fo Lian Deng.

Ning Ke took on the task of exorcising demons, setting out with the city guards and bringing back refugees who had fled to Chihe Cheng.

Day after day, they were so busy they barely had a moment to rest.

The old man watched from the side, his eyes flickering.

One day, the old man beckoned to Ning Ke, and Ning Ke walked over.

“Child, I have two secret manuals here that I picked up while I was wandering. I cannot cultivate, so these things would be a waste in my hands. Take them and have a look.”

“What secret manuals?” Ning Ke curiously took them and found that one was a secret manual for Talismans and the other was a manual for Arrays.

The covers didn’t have any seals on them, so they could be opened naturally.

He originally had the mindset of just looking at them for fun.

However, once he saw the talismans and arrays clearly, the smile on his lips gradually vanished, replaced by a solemn expression.

Because the arrays and talismans in these two books were exactly the same as the patterns contained in Ning Xiaoxiao’s gold silk wooden plaque.

The final chapter of all the talismans was the Demon Sealing Talisman.

The final chapter of all the arrays was the Heavenly Dao Array.

They were exactly the methods used by the Heavenly Dao to seal the Great Mo.

And now… they had ended up in his hands!

[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the T-grade secret manuals. Plot completion degree +2%, current plot completion degree: 42%.]

“Child, are these things useful to you?”

The old man’s voice came, and Ning Ke met the other’s gentle gaze. He squeezed out a smile and nodded. “They are useful. Thank you, Old Uncle.”

Ning Ke put away the secret manuals. Looking at Bai Wanru, who was working hard to forge nearby, the unease in his heart grew.

The reason the Fo Lian Deng appeared in the later generations was definitely because Bai Wanru had succeeded in forging it.

And the price paid must have been quite heavy.

Now, Chihe Cheng and Lou Yunxiao had become thorns in the side of all the Great Mo, facing the danger of the city being destroyed and its people killed at any moment. Yet, the Heavenly Dao from the legends who sealed the Great Mo had yet to appear.

Today, the methods used by the Heavenly Dao to seal the Great Mo had all fallen into his hands.

It was hard for him not to worry about the future direction of events.

…

Half a month later, inside the City Lord’s manor of Mingshan Cheng.

Lou Yunxiao sat upright in the side seat. He refused the tea from the maid and said, “Fellow Daoist Zhang, I have already been waiting here for four hours. You should give me a reply now.”

Zhang Minghe was also a cultivator in the Dujieqi, though he was two levels weaker than Lou Yunxiao’s peak Dujieqi cultivation, being only at the middle stage.

“Fellow Daoist Lou, don’t be in a hurry. I’m just thinking.” Zhang Minghe said, “After all, given the current situation of the Ren race, wanting to join forces to fight the Great Mo is clearly like an egg hitting a stone. Your proposal is no different from asking me to go to my death. How can I easily give you a reply?”

Lou Yunxiao pursed his lips and said, “But you should also know that in the current situation, even if we do nothing, the Great Mo will never leave us a way out.”

“I didn’t say I would do nothing.” A sharp light flashed in Zhang Minghe’s eyes. He asked, “I heard that Fellow Daoist Bai is forging a Fo Lian Deng that can restrain demonic beings. Is this news true?”

Lou Yunxiao frowned. “Why do you ask this?”

“It seems she really is forging it.” Zhang Minghe took a sip of tea and said readily, “Then there’s no problem.”

“We will cooperate with you on the condition that we must have a Shenqi that can restrain the Mo. This Fo Lian Deng is the key to winning this war.”

His words caused Lou Yunxiao’s expression to soften slightly.

Zhang Minghe asked again, “So can Fellow Daoist Lou tell me how much certainty there is that the Fo Lian Deng will be successfully forged?”

“My mother said one hundred percent.” Lou Yunxiao remembered Bai Wanru telling him a few days ago that she would be able to forge the Fo Lian Deng in a few days.

He believed his mother could do it.

Now, hearing Zhang Minghe say that the Fo Lian Deng could become the key to making this cooperation happen, he felt somewhat happy for Bai Wanru.

But on second thought, he still frowned and told Zhang Minghe, “Fellow Daoist Zhang, do not let this news spread. This matter must be kept from those Great Mo.”

“I understand, I understand.” Zhang Minghe nodded repeatedly and said, “Then in a few days, I will gather other fellow Dao friends in the Dujieqi to talk about this matter and discuss the details of starting a war against the Mo. Please be sure to come, Fellow Daoist Lou.”

Seeing that Zhang Minghe’s attitude was so good, Lou Yunxiao’s heart, which had been tightly strung, finally relaxed a bit.

It was too difficult for him to win against the Mo Zhu and the twelve Great Mo under his command by himself; having one more helper meant having one more bit of strength.

Naturally, he agreed.

However, after he left Mingshan Cheng, that “Zhang Minghe” tapped his finger against his cheek. In the next instant, he transformed into a different appearance.

His black eyes also turned into red ones as he sat back in the main seat, resting his chin in his hand with a smile.

“This Lou Yunxiao is truly interesting.”

A figure in black robes stepped out from the shadows behind the man and knelt on one knee, asking him, “Lord Nan Lou, now that most of the human cultivators in the Dujieqi have been devoured and possessed by us—aside from some Yao clans in seclusion—it would completely eliminate all future troubles if we were to kill this Lou Yunxiao. I don’t understand why you haven’t made a move against him yet.”

Nan Lou licked his lips and said, “Because I’ve been conducting an experiment lately.”

“Killing a person will only give me the pleasure of slaughter and the pleasure of devouring flesh.”

“But if I let this person watch those he cares about die miserable deaths because of his negligence, I will see this person reveal an expression more painful than if I were to kill him myself. That kind of pleasure… even surpasses simply killing him!”

“This Lou Yunxiao is currently the strongest among the humans. Compared to other humans, he values sentiment and justice more. Tell me, if such a person is forced to watch everything he cares about being destroyed, what will he become?”

“Just thinking about that scene…”

Nan Lou’s lips curled back, his grin almost tearing his distorted and hideous face.

“It makes me incredibly excited…”
