Liuyun, Why Is the Top of Your Head Pointy?
"This is the Demon Realm! This is really the Demon Realm!" Jin Guang lost all composure at this moment.
Although he was backed by Xuan Xin Sect Disciple were fully equipped, even their shoe insoles were inscribed with talismans, he still felt powerless.
The vibrant yet explosive Golden Demonic Energy, along with the chilling Purple Demonic Energy that seemed to emanate from the gates of the underworld, blended together to form a demonic mist so thick that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.
This demonic mist was boundless, constantly breaching the defenses of their talismans and magical artifacts, and invading their bodies.
If they weren't fully armed, his followers would have turned into demons the moment they stepped in.
The lowest level, the kind without any intelligence.
"Retreat! All disciples below the level of the Xuan Xin Four Generals, whose cultivation is insufficient, shall retreat!" Yan Chixia shouted loudly.
The environment here is even worse than the environment near the spring of the Netherworld Spring where he first arrived.
Jin Guang didn't even bother to reprimand Yan Chixia for overstepping his bounds despite no longer being the sect leader.
"Damn it, that demon brat Qi Ye wouldn't have brought the [Netherworld Spring] to the Demon Realm, would he?" Yan Chixia anxiously unfolded the talisman array, momentarily ignoring that Zhuge Liuyun hadn't left as instructed.
"No, this isn't right. This isn't the Demon Realm." Yi Xi, who hadn't spoken since entering the Demon Realm, suddenly said, "This is Sword Forging City, the Sword Forging City where Mo Xie, Gan Jiang, and I were born and raised."
"The stench of Gan Jiang is still everywhere; we're inside him now! This city is alive!"
"Seven Nights, inside Seven Nights' body?" Hongye had already squatted down, stroking the rough brick floor.
"The demon's body? You can't see me, can you? Wait for me." With the Xuan Xin Sect Disciple all leaving, the rustling sound of Yan Chixia taking off his pants was particularly noticeable in the environment where only a few people remained.
"Master, Master, don't take off your pants, I can see!" Zhuge Liuyun quickly stopped him.
Perhaps it was the magic he received Yi Xi his previous dream, combined with the stimulation of his current environment, that activated his potential demonic side.
"Liu Yun, what are you still doing here? Why are your eyes so dark blue? And why is the top of your head so pointed?" Yan Chixia had just put on his pants, turned around and saw two eyes glowing in the purple-gold magic mist.
"He's almost become a demon," Yi Xi said. "If the Netherworld Spring is sand and gravel that even a demon can't digest, this is strong liquor."
"No, no, I don't want to become a demon!" Zhuge Liuyun was on the verge of collapse.
"What's wrong with becoming a demon?" A soft, seductive female voice came from within the demonic mist. "Your mother was also a demon."
"Moon Demon!"
"A cloudy month!"
Yi Xi and Yan Chixia called out two different names to the newcomer.
The moon's magic, Qing Leng as if it had existed since time immemorial, combined with a sinister and eerie, Ghost Qi yet vibrant demonic power, forms a unified whole.
Even the two people who called out the correct names began to subconsciously doubt themselves.
"I prefer the name Yin Yue now. We are one now." The voice seemed to come from an infinite height, its location difficult to pinpoint. "Long time no see, Yi Xi. I still remember your anger towards the entire world when you became a demon. What, have you let go? Are you willing to associate with these humans for the sake of a woman?"
"How can you call them human? They are destined to become demons." Yi Xi said, looking at Zhuge Liuyun. "Now I have one more of my kind. They will join me in killing the shameless Gan Jiang has usurped the throne of my bloodline descendants."
"And, reclaiming Moye."
"I... I'm already a demon? But..." Zhuge Liuyun kept recalling the past and examining his own mind, but it was exactly the same as before, without any change.
If it weren't for the complete disappearance of the Dao Power within his body, he would have truly believed that what Yi Xi said was just a lie.
"Liu Yun, you—" Yan Chixia, who was hesitating about whether to clean house, met those deep blue eyes, which still shone with human emotions and remained clear.
His punctuation made everyone around him mistakenly believe that he was about to attack Liuyun.
"Yan Chixia, let that bastard live for now. Don't forget where we are now," Jin Guang scolded.
"Jin Guang, you've finally spoken like a human being," Sima Sanniang exclaimed. "Big Beard, if you dare to lay a hand on Liu Yun, I will never forgive you."
"Master's wife." If they were anywhere else, Zhuge Liuyun would probably have jumped into Sima Sanniang's arms.
"I never intended to harm Liu Yun. Didn't you notice? After Liu Yun became a demon, he looked exactly the same as before. Is this a special characteristic of the child of a human and a demon?" Yan Chixia asked in confusion.
It is extremely easy for a person to become a demon, but the most difficult thing to overcome is how to maintain one's mind while becoming a demon. Losing one's mind and turning into Beast, going crazy, and having one's mind alienated and approaching the level of a demon are common occurrences after becoming a demon.
"You've finally realized that this isn't special because of the child of the human-demon, but because of the special nature of the demonic energy here," Yin Yue said. "I appeared here to witness the birth of my kind."
"Quickly close the [Gate of the Demon Realm]!" Jin Guang's expression changed drastically. "Are you trying to corrupt the mortal world through this method?"
"You need to understand one thing: once you close the door from the inside, it's very difficult to open it again, and we'll be trapped here." Yi Xi didn't move.
He was already thinking about defeat before he was even considering victory; he knew he might not be a Gan Jiang the reincarnation of Gan Jiang and was prepared to run away at any moment.
"Of course I know." Jin Guang's face was resolute, his expression unwavering. "If it's to save all living beings, I'd rather become a demon! If that female demon wasn't lying, and if we can maintain our rationality like that bastard, I will use all the remaining time to exterminate all Demons and Monsters, and then destroy myself!"
"Jin Guang, what are you doing!" Yan Chixia exclaimed. Having spent nearly ten years around the [Netherworld Spring], he had long been able to sense the demonic energy.
He could sense that a large amount of demonic energy was converging towards the Jin Guang.
"Become a demon!" the Jin Guang said calmly, continuously drawing in demonic energy. "I will verify it first. If I lose my mind, I hope you will kill me immediately and not show any mercy!"
"Sect Master!" x4
The Xuan Xin Four Generals already had tears in their eyes.
"It seems I really misjudged you. You do have a desire for power and a concern for your reputation, but you are also a qualified sect leader," Sima Sanniang sighed.
"I won't make the same mistake again," Yan Chixia nodded.
He couldn't bear to kill an infant, but he wouldn't waver in the slightest when it came to killing Jin Guang, who had become a demon.
"Yi Xi, close the door quickly." Hongye chose to fulfill Jin Guang's last wish.
The blood talisman solidified instantly, locking onto the aura of the Yi Xi.
"You—" Having only absorbed the Demons and Monsters of Lanruo Temple and Yinshan, and not yet fully formed, Yi Xi was extremely wary of the [Blood Talisman]. "Fine, I hope you won't regret this!"
He angrily unleashed a crimson demonic light, and the purple light gate closed.
"I have become a demon." A hint of surprise flickered in Jin Guang's voice. "I am still loyal to the [Xuan Xin Sect] and the righteous path of humanity."
Upon hearing Jin Guang's words, Zhuque, one of the Xuan Xin Four Generals, immediately followed Jin Guang's example and began to resist the demonic mist.
"Wait a minute—" Yan Chixia was about to speak up to stop them.
Then Suzaku's voice rang out, "Me too!"
"So fast?" Yan Chixia exclaimed in surprise.
"The weaker the human, the faster they will turn into a demon."
Yin Yue's voice was filled with a hint of joy; she seemed happy for the two newborns of her kind.
"We're all better now." x3
The voices of the Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, and White Tiger proved the authenticity of Yin Yue's words.
In the blink of an eye, only Yan Chixia, Yan Hongye, and Sima Sanniang's family were no longer demons in the entire demon-slaying team.
"I'll join too." Just as Yan Chixia was about to absorb the demonic energy, Sima Sanniang said worriedly, "Big Beard~ you should..."
"Becoming a demon isn't necessarily a bad thing; it might even make up for the shortcomings of the [Profound Heart Marvelous Art]," Yan Chixia said. "As a father, regardless of whether she acknowledges me or not, I need to set an example for her first."
"You don't need to do this," Yan Hongye said. "The flaw is in the past me, not in the [Profound Heart Marvelous Art]. The me who fell in love with Qiye has already had my life, which was like a flickering candle, mended. His love has repaired my incompleteness."
"You—" Yan Chixia almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
The devilish brat he despised and hated so much saved his daughter's life.
"If we were all demons, the marriage between Hongye and Qiye might be considered a good match." Sima Sanniang felt a slight fondness for Qiye, whom she had never met before.
She had met Qi Ye's birth mother and husband; they were a very kind couple. She already felt a little guilty towards Qi Ye for not protecting them from Jin Guang.
If we disregard political stances, the adoptive father, Liudao, and adoptive mother, Yinyue, whom Qiye has never met, would be excellent candidates for in-laws.
Furthermore, regardless of whether Qiye had any ulterior motives, he did indeed save her husband and daughter one after another.
"You should have said so earlier!" Yan Chixia already regretted it, but the Dao Power within his body, which had transformed into demonic energy, had already formed a vortex, constantly drawing in the demonic mist, and he couldn't stop it. "If I had known, I would have preferred to die rather than become a demon!"
"Sima Sanniang!" Jin Guang shouted, "Don't forget our purpose. We've come to kill the Seven Lifetimes of Resentful Lovers."
Even he, who wanted to exterminate all Demons and Monsters, dared not make empty promises now and could only lower his goals to the bare minimum.
"How naive. To use my son's power to deal with him?" Yin Yue sneered. "Submitting to him is the best option."
Sima Sanniang had already become a demon, raised an eyebrow. "Mother-in-law, you're wrong."
"This demonic mist merely transforms our power; our power is still cultivated bit by bit through our own arduous efforts, not bestowed by Qi Ye."
"We only ask for one thing: to end the curse of the Seven Lifetimes of Resentful Lovers, and to allow Mo Xie's reincarnation to consummate her marriage with Qi Ye as a concubine."
"Only our Hongye can be the main branch."
"Shut up! Moye is mine!" Yi Xi roared.
"Sima Sanniang, you are utterly shameless! I'm going to expel you from the Xuan Xin Sect Disciple!" Jin Guang was about to faint from anger.
"I'm no longer Xuan Xin Sect Disciple. You expelled me, Jin Guang," Sima Sanniang said.
"Third Sister, how could you—" Yan Chixia had just become a demon, had skin that was usually firmer and younger, but now looked decades older.
"Master's wife~" Zhuge Liuyun was dumbfounded.
Now, all of them, now demons, can see each other through the demonic mist.
But Sima Sanniang still ignored Yan Chixia, seemingly forgetting her previous affectionate "big beard," and instead comforted Zhuge Liuyun, "Good boy, Liuyun. Your master's wife will find you a new wife."
"Very good, what a show. But unfortunately, Sima Sanniang, I cannot call you my mother-in-law," Yin Yue said with a smile.
As Yan Hongye slowly absorbed the demonic mist, her face paled as she demonized the power of her supremely pure [Profound Heart Marvelous Art]: What should I do if my mother-in-law doesn't like me?
Unlike her own daughter, Sima Sanniang, whose judgment was not clouded by emotions, frowned and said, "I can sense that there is no refusal in your words."
Yin Yue nodded, "My relationship with Qi Ye is not as simple as you think."
While the two were talking, Yi Xi, Jin Guang, and the Xuan Xin Four Generals had already gathered together, but the two did not pay attention to them and continued their conversation.
"You're not mother and son?"
"Of course, you all know he is not my child. I have never considered him my child."
"You're being too cruel."
"No, it's because he's too smart, too precocious, and too outstanding. In fact, I'm not even his adoptive mother."
"How so?"
"He grew up too fast. In no time, he went from being a future collaborator in my eyes to the master of the dynasty, my master."
Yin Yue's words shocked everyone.
Especially Yi Xi.
He knew that the Yin Moon before him was still the Moon Demon.
When he first opened up the Demon Realm and was at its peak, the Moon Demon always acted arrogantly, but now that he has submitted to Gan Jiang, he has a bad feeling.
Perhaps Gan Jiang he imagined.
"So, you won't stop me and Qiye?" Hongye, who had become a demon and whose black Hongye had turned silver-white, asked excitedly.
Jin Guang and Yi Xi exchanged a glance, a hint of Killing Intent flashing in their eyes.
But the two had different goals.
Jin Guang intended to kill Hongye, who had disgraced his family. Even if he was no match for her, he would only have to sacrifice his filthy demonic body.
Yi Xi was preparing to kill Mo Xie. The Heavenly Demon was indestructible, and his death would allow him to start anew with Mo Xie's reincarnation.
"Of course not, I welcome it," Yin Yue said. "As for Ultimate Liberation the curse of the Seven Lifetimes of Resentful Lovers, you will have to persuade him yourself."
As she spoke, she let out a silvery laugh and disappeared into the magic mist.
As she disappeared, everyone suddenly realized that their environment had changed drastically. The demonic mist was still there, but they were no longer in that city.
Everyone looked in the direction she had pointed before she disappeared.
It was a vast shadow that seemed to connect heaven and earth.
"The Mobilization Platform, Gan Jiang is waiting for us there, damn it," Yi Xi took a deep breath, "Does he consider us his subjects? How arrogant!"
The Mobilization Platform.
On the menacing metal throne composed of countless swords, Qi Ye, clad in heavy silver and black armor, strokes the pure Little Fox in his hand.
A continuous stream of purplish-gold demonic energy emanated from his body, seemingly enveloping the entire demon realm.
"Fools, you who have absorbed my demonic energy are already my subjects."
The Little Fox's nose twitched. "The stench of Yi Xi... Can Gan Jiang and Mo Xie kill Yi Xi with their own hands?"
With the help of the magic mist, she seemed to have not only become more sensitive to smell, but also to remember most of Mo Xie's memories.
"Of course." Qi Ye looked down at his feet.
Yi Xi and his group moved extremely fast and were almost in front of him.
