My Goddess is Good at Pretending

Chapter 164: Heavenly Demon Inheritor

Because the primary target was a human with God-tier inheritance, not an authentic God-tier existence yet, Ely could track down the Heavenly Demon Inheritor even if it was just the rough location.

She asked her grimoire as a prayer, and her Lost Prayer Grimoire provided clues regarding the target’s whereabouts.

The Heavenly Demon Inheritor was a human girl from a nameless village near the southeastern coast region in the Breacasian Empire.

This demonized girl was hiding somewhere in the southern region. The additional information that Lost Prayer provided was only related to bloodbaths...

From a geographical perspective, the Blood Moon Pavilion was near the target location. Michael and some of her disciples also possessed other identities in that Empire.

She gave some instructions, and half of the disciples immediately headed for the Breacian Empire.

"I need to inform Meiying and Mingyue. It might be helpful if they can provide assistance to ensure the raid goes smoothly." Ely took out her telecommunication talisman and contacted her saintess friends.

"Hi, good afternoon. I hope I’m not bothering you." Ely greeted her saintess friends.

"No, not at all. I’m always looking forward to hearing your voice, Miko." Shui Meiying responded calmly, but there was a hint of nervousness.

"I’m glad to hear your pleasant voice again, Miko~ You sound nervous, Meiying. Is it because we are on standby in the outside world to receive any news from Miko?" Feng Mingyue wondered.

"No. It’s just that... Miko usually calls us either early in the morning or at dusk. The time difference in our territory is more or less the same. It’s still afternoon, making me remember what she reminded us two weeks ago. Sorry... but is it about the time?" Shui Meiying couldn’t help but think in that direction.

"Mm, yes. You guessed correctly, Meiying. We will be making our move soon. We detected a newly awakened Heavenly Demon God’s successor around the southeastern coastal region. Since the Blood Moon Pavilion is quite close, we may need your assistance, Mingyue." Ely didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the point.

"!?" Shui Meiying and Feng Mingyue gasped in shock. They had expected it thanks to their friend’s early warning but did not expect the God-tier enemy to come so soon.

"What? I would appreciate it if you could provide some information on your plan, Miko. We will assist you, but are you coming to our Scarlet Domain Secret Realm?" Feng Mingyue immediately took the matter seriously as she knew the situation suddenly became urgent.

Ely then briefly explained the Heavenly Demon Inheritor, the new Heavenly Demon’s successor. Sacred Sakura would hunt this dangerous existence before the chaos broke beyond anyone’s control. However, she didn’t provide in-depth information because she had yet grasped the entire situation.

Fortunately, Blood Moon Pavilion and Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, represented by their respective saintess, were willing to assist Sacred Sakura without conditions.

The three saintesses then arranged to gather at a gathering spot near the Scarlet Domain Secret Realm’s entrance.

Time was limited, and they should put the plan in motion. Therefore, Ely closed the conversation with a closing. "I’ll tell you more later. See you in a few minutes."

"Mhm, I will await your arrival. I need to inform my father and other higher-ups now. Then, please excuse me." Feng Mingyue closed the conversation channel.

"A few minutes? The Scarlet Domain Secret Realm is over three thousand miles from the Frozen Cloud Secret Realm. We also need time to gather our people... Even if we go through several teleportation arrays, we can only arrive at the destination in one hour at the earliest." Shui Meiying felt that she couldn’t arrive so soon.

"Mhm... No rush. We will wait for you. I’ll give you a teleportation crystal later so we can gather instantly." Ely considered a few things, then came up with a solution.

"Alright, thank you." Shui Meiying then left the conversation.

Ely put her telecommunication talisman back.

She kept in touch with her saintess friends daily for the last two weeks to build relationship chemistry. She was grateful they immediately agreed to help her.

With cooperation, then a relationship and trust could be established to the next level.

No one could calmly guess how troublesome the Heavenly Demon Inheritor would be, but everyone should prepare for the worst. Regardless, the more allies, the lighter the risk and burden.

"They informed me and brought us the God-tier evil or demonic creatures. There is more evil than good or neutral ones... Does this planet have many malicious Gods?" Ely asked in wonder while gazing at the all-white sky above.

’Oh, Heaven, He-Dao and his accomplices or whoever it is... You better not play tricks, and please reward us well for throwing trouble at us.’ Ely muttered in her mind.

"Ely, I-" Yuuki returned, already wearing her battledress. She was about to say something, but a particular white-haired boy suddenly interrupted her with a loud voice.

"Saintess Miko! I am ready to protect you and beat up the impudent enemy who dares to target you." Bai Yuchen raised his hand high as he ran over.

He just found out this Immortal Courtyard was Saintess Miko’s residence. This shrine abode was marvelous beyond words, and the qi in the air was so rich, superior to the dragon’s veins Deity-class abode.

Even so, he dared not touch anything carelessly despite being amidst countless top-tier herbs, medicines, and treasures.

All the disciples on this mountain were Saintess Miko’s disciples, and she was also this Sacred Mountain’s master. Therefore, he could tell Saintess Miko’s position in Sacred Sakura was higher than an elder like Lady Kitsune’s big sister, Lady Gumiho.

Regardless, the current situation was precarious, and he had to know what to do.

"..." Yuuki glanced back with an annoyed gaze.

"Err..." Bai Yuchen immediately rubbed his head and whistled, but he still walked over. He didn’t dare to offend the fox big sister, or the fox little sister would also hate him. Furthermore, he still had to leave a good impression on Saintess Miko, his new master.

"Eh, wait. You are the master of all the disciples on this mountain, then I am your disciple too. I need to pay my obeisance first!" Bai Yuchen immediately came before the Saintess Miko.

Even though Saintess Miko looked young, he knew Saintess Miko was far more powerful than him. He kowtowed three times to worship Saintess Miko as his new master.

"Uhm, well... Alright. You’ve kowtowed enough. Please stand up." Ely felt a bit troubled.

She recruited Bai Yuchen as a new member to help her cause with his good luck and promising talent. Yet, he suddenly worshiped her as his master before she even said anything to him.

A lucky young hero and the wielder of a God-tier holy spear... he would become a great help in the future.

When thinking about that, Ely remembered that she didn’t receive any notice or specific mission about Bai Yuchen and Chen Fan. They both possessed God-tier legacy, but her grimoire told nothing about them beforehand. It was as if they held no importance...

’Or, maybe I just missed the related mission about them on the quest list?’ Ely was clueless, but she still regarded these two rising young heroes as God’s reincarnations, descendants, or something similar because of their UR talent.

"But, is a Demon God targeting Sacred Sakura again like that old black serpent? Is the entire Sacred Sakura going to deploy hundreds of peerless experts to squash the insolent God like an ant?" Bai Yuchen raised his head and stood up.

"Only those under Saintess Miko’s banner will depart under her orders. Our annihilation target is someone like you but wields a Super Evil Heavenly Demon God’s legacy. Based on our informants, this vicious demoness destroyed several villages. It carried out massive massacres in the southeastern coastal region a few hours ago. She even sacrificed her own parents and turned them into undead. The southeastern coastal region is in chaos because of this." Yuuki told her recent information to Ely with a solemn expression.

"What!? She, she- this demoness, she is too dangerous to be left alive." Bai Yuchen paled.

Ely sighed. The Heavenly Demon Inheritor had been ravaging the southeastern coastal region since morning. The death toll was clearly a lot. She noticed the mission pretty late because of her monthly sacred ritual.

Ely took a sealing crystal from her storage pouch. A badly injured red demon compressed in ice was sealed within the crystal.

This red demon was still alive but could do nothing under Yuuki’s Heavenly Ice and the seal. She hasn’t had a chance to interrogate this demon and punish him for the world’s cause.

"Are you going to overcome this inheritor first?" Zi Xuan asked.

"Yes. We must deal with her quickly before she becomes too dangerous to handle. For your request, could you wait for a day or two?" Ely handed over the storage pouch to Zi Xuan.

Zi Xuan peeked into the storage pouch. Her blue crystal coffin was there. She then hugged it and conveyed her concern earnestly. "Okay. It’s only two days. Please return soon, and please be careful in this mission. I’m just a spirit and can’t help much against the big evil demon, but I will wish you success in exterminating the big evil."
