Not far away from the cave, there lay a cultivation ground not easily discoverable since it was in a patch of green bushes. There was a hot spring that was covered in greenery, and a few colorful butterflies flying around. It was like heaven on earth.
On one side of the hot spring lay a woman whose belly was swaying from side to side. It was none other than Mu Yao.
She curled up in pain, her hands clenching her stomach. She could clearly feel that her stomach had gone from a three-month pregnant woman’s to a ten-month pregnant one in a matter of minutes!
Mu Yao felt as if all her internal organs had been crushed by the growing object in her stomach.
“Ah… it hurts!”
Mu Yao had never felt such pain before. She could not help but wonder if she was pregnant. She bit her lower lip tightly. Her forehead was already dripping with sweat, and her fair face was even paler.
The pain only intensified.
Mu Yao had only performed Dual Cultivation in order to leave the cave. She had never expected to pay such a high price for it!
Giving birth? That was out of the question to her! Besides, how could she get pregnant in one go? She was truly unlucky.
Furthermore, not only was she pregnant, but her baby had also grown at such a terrifying speed! She hadn’t even gotten the opportunity to abort her baby.
Even a normal cultivator or an ordinary person would definitely have to go through 10 months of pregnancy after getting pregnant. However, it had been less than an hour since she escaped from the cave. Yet, Mu Yao already felt like she was about to give birth!
What in the world was this elixir? Could it double the speed of pregnancy?
Besides, she was clearly about to be discovered by her enemies earlier on. Just as she was at a loss, an idea came to her mind: turning invisible and running away. Then, Mu Yao turned herself invisible and fled even faster. Even her five senses became especially sensitive.
Just what was this elixir?
Before Mu Yao could think about it, she felt a sharp pain in her stomach that threatened to burst her stomach at any time.
Every meridian in her body, even every nerve, was hurting Mu Yao more as the seconds ticked by. The next moment, she fainted from the pain.
At the same time, dozens of men in black moved through the forest. Every man’s face was covered in black cloth, making it impossible to see their faces clearly.
They were all equipped with weapons, some with bows, some with swords, and others with unknown ones.
The leader of the men in black sprinted ahead. His nose twitched. Then, his cold gaze swept toward the southeast. He smiled under the black cloth. “Hmph! I smell it. Follow me. We’ll head in the southeast direction.”
The men in black behind him immediately responded, “Yes, Sir!”
Not long after, the leader of the men in black stopped and swung his right hand. The men in black at the back stopped and gathered into a circular formation.
A hint of coldness flashed across the leader’s eyes. “Everyone, pay attention. That woman’s scent is nearby, but it’s very strange.”
“What’s strange, Sir?” one of the men asked.
“That’s right, Sir. What should we be afraid of? She’s just a little girl. Do you think can she beat you?” another piped up.
“That’s right! Our Lord is unrivaled. There’s no need to be on guard. We’ll directly lock onto our target and capture that woman in one fell swoop. When we return, we’ll give a good report to the sorcerer!” another encouraged.
The leader then glanced coldly at his men, who instinctively glanced at the leader, defeated by his gaze. They did not dare to say anything.
“A bunch of useless fools.” After saying that, the leader turned around, trying to find the specific direction of the strong scent.
But all of a sudden, a powerful force attacked the group from all directions. This strong power was accompanied by a strong female aura.
Suddenly, the leader’s nose twitched and he paused. There was a trace of something else besides the woman’s scent!
The leader was stunned for a moment. He instantly grabbed the sword in his hand and subconsciously took a step back, muttering, “Crap, we’ve fallen into a trap!”
The men in black hurriedly looked at each other and panicked.
“What? How is that possible?” someone shouted.
“That’s right, Sir. I can clearly smell that woman’s scent.”
The leader was no longer in the mood to pay attention to his shoddy subordinates. He jumped into the air. “Run, you fools!”
The next moment, the leader felt someone roaring behind him. The group of men in black had yet to recover from their shock before they turned into skeletons.
Their deaths were so sudden that they probably didn’t even know how they had died!
The leader subconsciously turned around and witnessed this scene. His pupils constricted.
He drew his sword and chanted an unknown incantation. In an instant, the leader ran toward the sky, trying to speed up his escape.
Just then, a man dressed in white descended from the sky. He flicked his sleeves as he slowly landed on the ground.
The corners of the man’s lips curled up, and a hint of darkness flashed past his deep eyes imperceptibly. He asked in a low voice, “Trying to escape?”
The leader gritted his teeth and used all his strength to make his escape as quickly as possible. He had a premonition that he would be turned into ashes if he did not hurry up!
He gathered his strength and quickly fled. Only after running a long distance did he turn around and look behind him. Thankfully, no one was chasing after him.
Only then did he dare to relax and slow down his speed. He lowered his eyes and muttered to himself, “Sigh, I’ve finally escaped. How could I have underestimated the Netherworld Demon Lord? I was truly foolish!”
Suddenly, a deep voice floated in front of him. “Is that so?”
The leader suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body and his scalp went numb. He looked up in fear.
Right in front of him was the Netherworld Demon Lord!
