Chapter 234 The 5-Year-Old Nascent Soul
On the other side, after the tiger demon was taken away, he immediately reported the situation to the leader of the Blood Demon Society through a communication talisman.
Inside the council hall of the Blood Demon Society headquarters.
The president sat upright in the main seat, his gaze sweeping over the assembled high-ranking members of the hall, and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, I just received news from Wenhu that Princess Muling is not yet twenty years old, but she has already reached the Nascent Soul stage."
Such talent is unheard of in our demon race for thousands of years.
With such a genius, don't you all think it's worthwhile to invest in him early and cultivate a good relationship with him?
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the palace.
The demons looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Not even twenty years old? Already at the Nascent Soul stage? This... how is this possible!"
An elder couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his voice filled with deep shock.
Another high-ranking official murmured, "Such talent, let alone our demon race, I'm afraid we can't find another like him in the entire Cangyun Continent, can we?"
However, amidst the shock, some members of the demon race raised questions.
A demon elder with a sinister face slowly spoke, his tone tinged with a hint of probing:
"President, isn't there something strange about this? If Princess Muling really has such talent, why have we never heard of her before?"
Could it be that she possesses some secret weapon to conceal her age, misleading Wenhu's judgment?
Upon hearing this, the demons in the hall immediately fell silent, their gazes all turning to the guild leader with a hint of suspicion in their eyes.
Upon hearing this, the president frowned slightly, and his heart wavered.
But as the leader of the Blood Demon Society, he remained calm and composed, saying indifferently:
"It is normal for you all to have these doubts."
However, this matter is of great importance, and I will personally go to verify it to silence any criticism.
He paused, his sharp gaze sweeping over the demons, his tone carrying an undeniable authority:
"But before that, no one should act rashly."
If Princess Wood Spirit truly possesses such talent, I, Blood Demon, will invest in her in advance; it will be a sure-fire way to make a profit.
If she's just a figurehead, then don't blame us Blood Demons for showing no mercy.
Upon hearing this, all the demons nodded in agreement.
The chairman's authority is not to be challenged. Since he has made his stance clear, the demons naturally dare not say anything more.
However, the atmosphere inside the hall remained heavy, with each demon harboring their own thoughts.
There was both shock at Princess Wood Spirit's talent and doubt about her true strength.
After the meeting, the president sat alone in the hall, his gaze deep, muttering to himself:
“Princess Wood Spirit… if you are truly as Wenhu says, then my Blood Demon Society will take a gamble.”
If you're just bluffing, don't blame me for being ruthless.
The next morning, as the morning light shone down, Chen Wan'er led Ye Lingyu and her group into the hall.
The tiger demon and the crow demon had been waiting for a long time. Upon her arrival, the tiger demon nodded slightly in greeting, while the crow demon quickly cupped his hands in a respectful bow.
Chen Wan'er smiled slightly and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, senior."
Wenhu waved his hand and said in a calm tone, "Your Highness is too kind. I just arrived."
After everyone was seated, Chen Wan'er got straight to the point, her tone calm but with a hint of probing:
“Senior, since the Blood Demon Society is so sincere, I will get straight to the point.”
My spiritual energy orb is probably not worth the blood demons going to such lengths for.
"Seniors, why don't you just speak frankly? What exactly are your plans?"
Upon hearing this, Wenhu sighed inwardly: Although Princess Muling is young, she is extremely perceptive and not someone who can be easily fooled.
He pondered for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Your Highness is indeed a prodigy at such a young age. Not only is your cultivation profound, but you are also far-sighted."
It seems the Wood Spirit clan's return to glory is just around the corner.
Chen Wan'er's heart stirred, but she remained expressionless.
She didn't care whether the Wood Spirit race could regain its former glory, since the very existence of this race was still a mystery.
But she knew that the Shadowmoon Sect was her true foundation, and what she wanted to do was to make the Shadowmoon Sect bigger and stronger, and create new glories.
She smiled faintly, her tone calm:
"Senior, you flatter us. Our Wood Spirit Clan has always loved peace and only seeks to focus on cultivation."
Wenhu nodded and said, "Your Highness is right."
However, our Blood Demon Society values more than just His Highness's spiritual energy orb; His Highness himself is also highly regarded by us.
Upon hearing this, Chen Wan'er frowned slightly, her doubts deepening.
She is merely a Nascent Soul cultivator; what merit does she possess to deserve such attention from the Blood Demon Society?
The demon race is diverse and full of geniuses; she didn't believe the Blood Demon would go to such lengths for her.
Seeing the doubt on Chen Wan'er's face, Wenhu quickly explained:
"Your Highness, do you doubt the sincerity of our Blood Demon Society?"
Do you still think that what I just said was a deliberate attempt to flatter and ingratiate myself with you?
Chen Wan'er did indeed think this way, but she remained outwardly calm, only offering a slight smile:
"Senior misunderstands. I just feel that I am merely a Nascent Soul cultivator and not worth the Blood Demon Society's great effort."
"A mere Nascent Soul cultivator?" Wen Hu almost burst out laughing when he heard those four words.
He thought to himself: This princess must have some misunderstanding about her own strength and talent.
He took a deep breath and tentatively asked, "Your Highness, if I may ask, how old are you this year?"
Chen Wan'er thought for a moment. According to the original owner's birthday, tomorrow would be the sixteenth, so it was still the fifteenth now.
So he casually replied, "I'm already fifteen."
"Fifteen years old?!" Wenhu was shocked and almost stood up from his seat.
He originally thought Chen Wan'er was at least close to twenty years old, but he didn't expect her to be only fifteen!
A fifteen-year-old Nascent Soul cultivator—what does that even mean?
Even looking across the entire Cangyun Continent, it's probably impossible to find another one like it.
What shocked him even more was that Chen Wan'er herself seemed completely unconcerned about it.
Even her companions remained calm, as if this were the most normal thing in the world.
Wenhu couldn't help but sigh inwardly: What kind of demons are these?
Have they become accustomed to such extraordinary talent?
He composed himself, barely suppressing the shock in his heart, and said with a wry smile:
"Your Highness, you seem to have underestimated your own talent."
A fifteen-year-old Nascent Soul cultivator is a unique existence, not only among the demon race but also in the entire Cangyun Continent.
Don't you and your companions find this amazing?
Upon hearing this, Chen Wan'er was slightly taken aback. She turned to look at Ye Lingyu and the others, only to find that they remained as usual.
He smiled and said, "Senior, you flatter us. We are just focused on cultivation and don't feel anything special."
Wenhu was speechless for a moment, his heart filled with emotion: This princess is not only incredibly talented, but also has such a calm and composed mindset.
Perhaps it is this single-minded focus that has allowed her to reach heights that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve at such a young age.
He secretly made up his mind: no matter what, the Blood Demon Society must establish a good relationship with this Wood Spirit Princess.
Her future is destined to be limitless!
