In the depths of a hidden underground palace.
The Blood Demon looked at Demon Pu, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Have you figured out what happened last night?"
Demon Pu hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to phrase it, and eventually decided to tell the truth. "Last night, Gu Qingfeng fell asleep."
After these words were spoken, an eerie silence fell over the underground palace.
After a moment, the Blood Demon's suppressed voice broke the silence. "Was he drugged or under some illusion?"
Demon Pu shook his head, a trace of helplessness in his voice. "Neither. He was simply tired."
The underground palace was once again enveloped in an unsettling silence.
This time, the silence lasted even longer.
After a long while, the Blood Demon finally spoke slowly, "Tell me in detail, what kind of person is Gu Qingfeng?"
"Yes, Blood Demon," Demon Pu replied respectfully.
Demon Pu began recounting everything he had seen and heard during his two encounters with Gu Qingfeng, leaving no detail out as he reported it all to the Blood Demon.
After listening, the Blood Demon fell into silence once more, this time for a duration longer than the previous two silences combined.
"Could this be the unique temperament of one chosen by destiny?" the Blood Demon suddenly murmured, breaking the silence.
"No wonder those with the Heavenly Mandate Physique are so rare. After all, people with such a temperament are almost nonexistent."
"Blood Demon, I tortured Gu Qingfeng for a full hour, yet he still did not yield. This shows the tenacity of his will. I believe it is largely due to his eccentric and extreme personality. Throughout history, those with extreme tendencies often possess an unyielding will.
Therefore, I worry that there may be risks in your attempt to possess his body. After all, possession takes place in the target's spiritual domain, where the home advantage is immense. The slightest misstep..." Demon Pu expressed his concerns with a worried expression.
"No matter," the Blood Demon waved his hand, cutting off Demon Pu's words.
"Pu, do you think I have done nothing these past two hundred years? Back then, I had already touched the realm of divinity. The life-and-death battle two hundred years ago forced me to split into thirty-six fragments, only to rise again from the ashes. That experience deepened my understanding of the divine realm. For the past two centuries, I have been constantly meditating, and the result is that my soul now carries a trace of divine essence. With this trace, possessing Gu Qingfeng's Devouring Demon Body will be effortless. Once I have the Devouring Demon Body, combined with my own cultivation, even if I have to rely on devouring living beings to accumulate power, it will be enough to ascend to divinity. So, there's no need for you to worry."
Demon Pu was visibly shaken by these words. "As expected of the Blood Demon. I am in awe. However, there is one thing I don't quite understand. Since Gu Qingfeng is so important and yet so uncooperative, why don't we switch to another human to steal the Blood Divine Son?"
The Blood Demon shook his head. "Retrieving the Blood Divine Son is something only Gu Qingfeng can do. I have already gathered thirty drops of the Blood Divine Son. Only six remain for me to regain my peak strength. Of these six, one has already been devoured by Gu Qingfeng. That's not an issue, as I will regain that power once I possess his body. The remaining five drops are scattered: one is at the headquarters of the Demon Suppression Bureau, while the other four are distributed across four branches in the east, west, north, and south.
The Wutong Prefecture branch of the Demon Suppression Bureau is the eastern repository.
The headquarters deliberately scattered them across the land to prevent me from retrieving them all at once. Moreover, each location guarding a Blood Divine Son is heavily fortified with not only standard defenses but also two additional layers of protection. The first is an isolation barrier that completely seals the aura of the Blood Divine Son, making it impossible for me to detect.
However, the Demon Suppression Bureau never anticipated that over the past two hundred years, I have gained a trace of divine essence. With this, their isolation barriers are as good as nonexistent to me.
The second layer of defense is the Demon Mirror.
The Demon Mirror is extremely sensitive to the aura of the Blood Divine Son. Normally, when the Blood Divine Son is sealed by the isolation barrier, its aura is completely concealed, and the Demon Mirror remains inactive.
But if someone were to steal the Blood Divine Son, its aura would naturally leak, and the Demon Mirror would immediately sound an alarm. At that point, even if one could forcibly take a single Blood Divine Son, the headquarters would be alerted, and the remaining Blood Divine Sons would undoubtedly be relocated. After that, attempting to retrieve the others would be nearly impossible. This is why I must use Gu Qingfeng."
Demon Pu suddenly understood. "So that's why you insisted on having Gu Qingfeng devour the Blood Divine Son. As a Devouring Demon Body, if he consumes the Blood Divine Son on the spot instead of taking it away, its aura won't leak, and the Demon Mirror won't react. No one would even know the Blood Divine Son had been taken.
Then, by repeating the process, Gu Qingfeng can devour the remaining Blood Divine Sons from the other branches of the Demon Suppression Bureau. After that, you can possess his body, regain your strength, and obtain the Devouring Demon Body.
The Demon Suppression Bureau would have no idea that you have fully revived and regained your peak strength. At that point, you only need to lie low for a while, secretly devouring living beings to push toward the divine realm. Once you achieve divinity, it will be your time to reign supreme!"
"Exactly," the Blood Demon nodded with a smile. "That's why Gu Qingfeng is the linchpin of my plan. Only he can silently retrieve the Blood Divine Son, and only by obtaining his Devouring Demon Body can I accumulate enough power through devouring to trigger a qualitative transformation and ascend to divinity.
Therefore, three days from now, whether Gu Qingfeng can successfully devour the Blood Divine Son is the critical first step of the plan. There must be no mistakes. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand!" Demon Pu replied firmly.
"Good. Make sure to accommodate any of Gu Qingfeng's demands in the coming days. Ensure he doesn't fall asleep again. He must succeed in devouring the Blood Divine Son. If anything goes wrong this time, I will hold you personally responsible," the Blood Demon said coldly.
Demon Pu felt a chill run down his spine and quickly responded with utmost respect, "I will not disappoint you, Blood Demon!"
