Di Nie stared at Ashi Liren for a long time and asked, "Have I seen you before?"
Just one sentence made Ashi Liren very displeased. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel•fire.net
Usually, people ask, have you seen me before?
But Di Nie said, have I seen you before? So arrogant, so cold and proud.
Ashi Liren looked at the face that could captivate anyone in front of her and shook her head, "No!"
Di Nie continued to stare at Ashi Liren for a while, still feeling a sense of familiarity, even a touch deep within her memory.
Before her demonization, Ashi Liren’s martial arts were a bit weaker than Zhi Yan’s, roughly on par with Gao Yin and Li Chenglian.
In terms of the Demon Territory’s cultivation level, it should be around an Intermediate Demon Sect Master, akin to the wife of the Black Demon Banner Master.
Sword Master Bi Xiao, Grand Eunuch Gao Yin, Ashi Liren was already the strongest in Rage Wave Kingdom, but still a level below any top master from the Rakshasa Domain’s Demon Banner. She couldn’t compare to the Black Demon Banner Master, not even the Black Demon Banner’s Great Elder, let alone the Master of Misfortune Cave.
Moreover, although Gao Yin and Sword Master excelled in martial arts and cultivation, they found it difficult to unleash energy attacks, making their combat power inferior to the Demon Sect.
Ashi Liren could unleash energy attacks, but this was entirely due to her special bloodline talent.
In a sense, the Rage Wave Kingdom should be on par with the Rakshasa Domain, a level above the Black Demon Banner.
However, the top experts of the Rage Wave Kingdom still fell short of the top masters of the Black Demon Banner, so in terms of pure personal strength, the Human Kingdom was two levels below the Demon Race’s domain.
This shows how formidable the Dragon Temple’s control over the martial arts of the Human Kingdom was.
Now, with the Blood Star flashing six times, a world war between the Humans and Demons is imminent, and the Dragon Temple has begun to lift some martial arts restrictions, allowing outstanding martial artists from the Human Kingdom to pursue further study.
Nearly three years ago, Ashi Liren, Zhi Ning and her child, Fang Qingzhuo and her daughter entered the desert of the Southern Barbaric Lands and were discovered by the Witch Kingdom’s Samurai.
By coincidence, coupled with Ashi Liren’s high talent and strong martial foundation, they not only gained the Witch Kingdom’s resources to successfully demonize but were also taken in as a disciple by the Witch Queen.
Over the past three years of cultivation, Ashi Liren’s martial skills have advanced by leaps and bounds.
Of course, after the demonization, her appearance also changed compared to three years ago.
First, her ears became the characteristic sharp ears of the Demon Race, and her pupils completely turned into the eyes of the Witch Clan. How to describe them?
The eyes of the Witch Clan, how to describe them? The pupils are somewhat like a cat’s, very deep, mysterious, and captivating.
Moreover, after demonization, Ashi Liren grew about an inch taller; she was already very tall.
Her figure, which was already extremely captivating, had now reached a level of enchantment.
The once deadly ice bloodline was now something she could control at will, and she had become a very powerful Ice-type Expert.
According to the Witch Queen, only a thin line separated her from the Demon Lord, and she could break through at any time.
The key is that she is still so young, with immense room for future growth.
So, the Witch Queen is now fully committed to cultivating Ashi Liren.
Upon hearing Ashi Liren say she hadn’t met her, Princess Di Nie was slightly puzzled why this woman in front of her seemed familiar, even evoking a feeling in her heart. Could it be just because she was so beautiful and her aura was so noble?
However, she quickly put all this aside.
Tiancha King said, "Di Nie, the Winged Tribe is entrusted to you!"
Di Nie nodded and then soared into the air, extending her magnificent wings and flying towards the Winged Tribe’s direction.
The Witch Queen’s beautiful eyes lit up immediately.
In the entire Southern Barbaric Lands, no demon race except the Winged Tribe had wings.
Having wings, yet not being of the Winged Tribe, could only prove one thing: she carried the Ancient Demonic Bloodline, she was an Ancient Witch.
Ashi Liren, riding a blue phoenix, caught up with Di Nie, flying towards the Winged Tribe!
The Winged Tribe lived on the far west of the Southern Barbaric Lands, covering an area not small, at over a million square kilometers.
But... this land was extremely barren.
At a glance, there were cracks in the earth everywhere, bare Stone Mountains, almost no forests, lakes, or even green vegetation, mostly brown shrubs and some moss, with giant cacti being the most abundant.
The most common features of this barren territory were cliffs and rocky peaks.
Hundreds of Stone Mountains stood here, the lowest over three thousand meters above sea level, the highest over ten thousand meters.
The Winged Tribe’s royal city was carved directly out of the giant Stone Mountain, making it a city at seven thousand meters above sea level, incredibly easy to defend and hard to attack.
As Princess Di Nie and Ashi Liren flew into the Winged Tribe’s airspace, they were surrounded by hundreds of Winged Tribespeople.
The Winged Race, averaging about 1.8 meters tall, wearing armor, with a pair of giant wings and beautiful feathers.
Their wings were different from Princess Di Nie’s, whose were incredibly ornate energy wings, not only for flight but also exceptionally sharp weapons.
The leading Winged Tribe female warrior recognized Ashi Liren from the Witch Kingdom, immediately dropping all guard and defense, rushed forward and embraced her, "My beautiful sister Liren, I’ve really missed you, I heard you were in seclusion for three years of cultivation, but now you’ve come out after just a year and a half, did something happen?"
