Chapter 1237: The Murder Weapon

Chapter 1237: The Murder Weapon

So now Ling Meng could only carry this memory and this ominous ability on her shoulders.

A test subject; it was hard for her to accept, and she even felt unworthy of Lin Nuo, after all, she wasn’t even a normal individual.

Every time Ling Meng walked in the realms where the two worlds met, more memories related to her gradually surged into her mind.

A murder weapon meant for experimentation, always worried it might go berserk one day and become uncontrollable.

Mu Yiting also noticed Ling Meng’s unease, and she specially went to have a chat with her:

“You don’t have to take it too seriously. You’ve lived in the human world long enough; you’re a whole person. I don’t think Lin Nuo will mind your situation.”

“But I still care.”

“How can you care? Don’t you care about Lin Nuo’s thoughts more than your own? So why bother? As long as he doesn’t mind you, why do you need to mind yourself?”

Mu Yiting tried her best to comfort Ling Meng. If Ling Meng couldn’t find a way to cope, she risked returning to the Demon Realm and becoming a murder weapon again.

Now the Handa Alliance wanted to stir up trouble; the three realms used to not interfere with each other, but now everything was in chaos. If cracks kept appearing, then every realm would be in turmoil.

“You’re right; maybe I need some time to come to terms with myself.”

Ling Meng responded, convincing herself that if she accepted it, perhaps she could undergo a rebirth.

“When are we going back?”

“In a couple of days. Plus, you’ve just performed a ritual, so it’s best to rest here.”

Mu Yiting said, she had a place to settle at the junction of the two realms and hadn’t returned to the Demon Realm. After all, once you entered the Demon Realm, it was probably hard to come back.

At the junction of the two realms, there were people from the Demon Realm and the Sacred Realm, along with humans, but humans were mostly passively caught up in this; they had no ability to come to this place.

On the other hand, the people from the Demon and Sacred Realms couldn’t go to other worlds; they could only return to their own places.

There were frequent wars here, each vying for territory, all wanting to stake a claim.

However, the territory was mainly occupied by the Handa Alliance, as they gathered people from the three parties, making it more advantageous for them.

Thus, the continuous appearance of cracks was also their doing.

Now Mu Yiting was guarding her territory, and the followers of Tianqi Kingdom listened to her, as they believed she would return to revitalize their nation.

She wouldn’t go; if Lin Nuo didn’t go, she wouldn’t go either.

“Just take a good rest and don’t think too much.”

Mu Yiting arranged a room for Ling Meng; they needed two days to recuperate due to their Demon Qi leakage and had to stay here.

“Two days, my master must think something’s happened to me…”

“Just explain it to him when you get back. If you don’t want to explain, you can come up with a lie, saying you got sucked in again, and I came to rescue you.”

Mu Yiting and Ling Meng strategized together. Although it was uncertain if they could fool Lin Nuo, it was worth a shot.

“Forget it, I’ll just explain to him. I shouldn’t hide it; that’s a lack of trust. I’ll confess when I return.”

Ling Meng had come to this conclusion, which would also clear Lin Nuo’s doubts, after all, he had always been puzzled about the origins of her abilities.

Ling Meng returned to her room to rest for two days and not overthink things.

Mu Yiting left the residence to communicate with the subordinates of Tianqi Kingdom.

“Has the Handa Alliance approached here recently?”

“Not at the moment, Your Highness.”

“Be alert. If their strength becomes too overwhelming, we’ll abandon this territory and return to the Demon Realm. Although the situation in the Demon Realm is not optimistic for Tianqi Kingdom, it’s better than dying here. In the Demon Realm, your strength will recover; while here, it gets weakened, which is inherently disadvantageous.”

“Understood, Your Highness. When does Your Highness plan to return to revive Tianqi Kingdom…?”

One subordinate asked timidly; they didn’t want to stay here forever; returning to the Demon Realm was definitely preferable.

“Once the Handa Alliance is dealt with, I’ll go back.”

She was just making empty promises, saying that once the Handa Alliance was resolved, she would return to the human world to be with Lin Nuo.

“If it’s not solved, reviving Tianqi Kingdom would be very difficult.”

Mu Yiting added, continuing to persuade them, wanting them to work hard for her first.

She learned these tricks from Lin Nuo, using some tactics to sway people’s minds, throwing away all shame.

It was reasonable; occasionally sacrificing face could maximize benefits.

“Your Highness! Then…!”

Suddenly, they spotted a crowd surging toward them, a mix of different people, including those from the Demon Realm, the Sacred Realm, and even humans from the human world.

She recognized some; weren’t they from the Refining Demon Sect?

It seemed the Refining Demon Sect had started colluding with them.

“Your Highness, should we…?”

“Retreat, abandon this place.”

“Got it. Everyone hurry and retreat! Follow Your Highness!”

The subordinates of Tianqi Kingdom quickly sprang into action, ready to escape; they couldn’t stay any longer.

“Ling Meng, we have to leave.”

Mu Yiting hurried to inform Ling Meng, who had just entered her room not long ago.

“What’s going on?” Ling Meng asked, confused.

“It looks like the Handa Alliance is coming; we can’t protect ourselves here.”

“Where can we go now?”

“We still have a base we can relocate to. It might have a harsher environment, though.”

“That’s fine; I’ve endured in the wild with my master before.”

Ling Meng quickly left her room, ready to run with Mu Yiting, just needing to endure for two days before returning to the human world.

At that moment, the Handa army was closing in.

“I heard the test subject from back then has been found, and it’s right here.”

A middle-aged man in a white robe gazed over towards Mu Yiting’s base and spoke.

“Yes, they found it in the Demon Realm. What about the Sacred Realm side? Isn’t it time to check there as well?”

An old man, his long beard wrapped in thick Demon Qi, stroked his beard and asked.

“We’ll have to abandon that. She will fight against us; we can’t let her get involved.”

The middle-aged man in white said. The old man frowned, sensing that the other party had something to clarify.

“You’re all murder weapons too. Why can’t you find another to use?”

“We’re still looking into it. But she has no memories of the Sacred Realm, she isn’t qualified either, and it seems she has developed another personality and has gone out of control.”

The white-robed man responded, and they collaborated, all wishing to reclaim the murder weapon that had entered the human world back then, but some unexpected issues had arisen.

Explosive abilities were their common trait, but Ling Meng was still normal, while the other was out of control, and they couldn’t manage her.

“Then we can only find one first.”

With that, they hastened their march, ready to surround Mu Yiting’s base swiftly and find Ling Meng.

Mu Yiting seemed to sense that the main target would likely be Ling Meng, so she led Ling Meng through a secret passage first, while the other subordinates retreated normally.

“Where does this lead? Can we still go back?” Ling Meng began to feel anxious.

“It’s a safe place; we can return. Of course, as long as we don’t get caught by them.”
