The six Demon Marshals on the field were all shocked at this moment, unbelievingly watching the scene unfold before them.
Blood Spear... was so easily defeated??
Xinning had only just made her move, and he was already beaten...
"Demon Monarch... is too terrifying, such strength, it's almost comparable to his power back in the day..."
Shan Ming muttered to himself.
"Blood Spear's attack just now almost touched the threshold of the Immortal Realm. I'm afraid it would take all six of us working together to withstand it... but the Demon Monarch, she did it so effortlessly!"
Spoken by the Demon Marshal as tall and sturdy as an iron tower, his name was Tie Shan, and at this moment, his face was full of shock.
"Just now, I actually felt the Demon Monarch was like Qing Chen, a celestial maiden above the worldly dust, her poetry possessing such formidable mystic power... Is this why Senior Li teaches the Demon Monarch poetry every day..."
Gong Ya's beautiful eyes were also filled with shock. On normal days, she couldn't perceive anything fearsome about the valley poems taught by Li Fan.
She even worried that Xinning, always following Li Fan in reading poetry without practicing cultivation, would lead to a stagnation in her cultivation level, unable to compete with other Primeval Souls.
Now she realized... How could an entity as terrifying as Senior Li do something meaningless?
Those poems clearly contained a terrifying power of the Great Way.
Xinning landed and patted her hands, a proud look appearing on her small face as she said,
In the large pit ahead filled with dust and smoke, Blood Spear struggled to rise, using his blood-colored spear to support himself, but his face couldn't hide his embarrassment!
He... was so easily defeated!
"I have lost... but, you didn't defeat me using the methods of the Demon Monarch... what you used was a Mystical Method from the Immortal Domain!"
Blood Spear looked at Xinning.
Xinning said indifferently,
"So what if I did? In this lifetime, this monarch intends to walk the path of cultivating both immortality and demonhood. Is that not allowed?"
"Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and bring her over for me to devour."
Impatience was showing on her little face.
"Cultivating both immortality and demonhood..."
Blood Spear muttered to himself as if he found this path... unimaginable.
Yet, he still turned his head to look at the little girl behind him.
The little girl's eyes immediately showed a hint of panic and she said,
"Blood Spear, I am your true master, I am the Demon Monarch, you cannot be reckless..."
As she spoke, she abruptly turned and fled!
She had realized that Xinning had grown up and was no longer someone she could covet.
On the contrary, if she didn't run, she would be devoured.
"I'm sorry, but only this way can the Demon Monarch return sooner!"
Blood Spear spoke in a low voice, and his blood-colored spear suddenly thrust forward!
A beam of blood-colored divine light instantly pierced the fleeing little girl!
In the little girl's eyes lingered a trace of unwillingness, but quickly, her consciousness faded away.
She transformed into an unclaimed Primeval Soul!
Blood Spear presented the Primeval Soul with both hands, kneeling and saying,
"Please, Demon Monarch, absorb this to hasten your return to your former glory!"
Seeing this, a look of approval flashed in Xinning's eyes.
Worthy of being the Demon Marshal she most valued back then, decisive in killing and full of loyal courage.
By striking down that Primeval Soul, Blood Spear was not only not a traitor; on the contrary, it was because he remembered the instructions of the Nine Holy Demon Monarch from the past, proving that he had no ulterior motives.
Regardless of who devours whom, the final outcome is the same.
"Good," Xinning said, and with a light wave of her hand.
This Primeval Soul was instantly absorbed into her body.
Afterward, Xinning's aura surged in an instant yet again!
She broke through to the next level, entering the Da Luo Golden Demon's seventh heaven!
"The Demon Monarch is clearly only in the seventh heaven of the Da Luo Golden Demon, so why do I feel her aura is almost approaching the Immortal Realm..."
The crowd whispered to themselves,
Only Gong Ya had a complex look on her face; she understood what all this was due to!
In this life, perhaps the Demon Monarch could truly ascend to become the Immortal King, couldn't she?
Her heart was suddenly filled with anticipation!
"Demon Monarch, it seems that the other two Primeval Souls have not come," Jing Mie spoke.
"The other two Primeval Souls are respectively assisted by Jade Rift and Bo Tu..."
"These two have vanished without a trace since their departure that year."
Xinning, however, was not perturbed and said indifferently,
"It doesn't matter, there will always be a chance in the future."
"Moreover, I have already sensed that the other two Primeval Souls... seem to have merged..."
At her words, everyone was taken aback.
"Alright, all of you, from now on, will cultivate in seclusion outside the village," Xinning said after the matter had concluded, starting to arrange for the Demon Marshals who had regathered under her banner.
She called out, and Ming Tianbei quickly ran out from the village entrance, respectfully saying,
"I greet the Demon Monarch!"
He had been hiding behind the village wall the entire time and was utterly shocked by what he witnessed.
The Demon Monarch's growth rate was too fast...
It seemed that the leg the Demon Monarch had clung to in that small courtyard was truly sturdy.
"From now on, you'll be responsible for looking after Tie Shan, Shan Ming, Jing Mie, and the others," Xinning instructed.
Hearing this, Ming Tianbei was immediately stunned.
Me? Look after such a group of Demon Marshals??
Isn't this asking too much of me... I'm just a minor Golden Demon...
"Demon Monarch, I..."
Shan Ming, Tie Shan, and others also frowned!
"Demon Monarch, why do we need his care?!" Blood Spear even spoke up.
As Demon Marshals, how could they allow a minor Golden Demon to look after them? How would that look?
"If the Demon Monarch finds us burdensome, we can also go out and conquer in the outer world," the others spoke up as well.
But Xinning just looked at Ming Tianbei and said,
