I Just Wanted To Live but I Somehow Became Better Than the Protagonist

The reality deviated from the novel’s plot. The reason why demons did not appear in the novel, Ye Yong believed, was that if the plot developed according to the novel, the Xuande Realm would invade the Kunlun Realm, causing massive casualties. The Kunlun Realm’s counterattack would be justified by revenge, killing everything in sight. The Xuan Yang Clan would be implicated and wiped out without even being exposed.

But Ye Yong changed the course. Now, the Kunlun Realm is on friendly terms with the Xuande Realm, making random killings impossible. Moreover, this battle is an internal struggle among the demon clans of the Xuande Realm, and outsiders have no right to intervene, giving the Xuan Yang Clan a chance to emerge.

Ye Yong glanced a few more times at the demon lackeys below and silently retreated. Their cultivation levels were not very high, at the early stage of the Demon King level. They could be dealt with by ambushing with magical treasures, but he couldn’t make a move, as it would expose his whereabouts. His current identity is that of the Holy Word Envoy, a thorn in the side of the demons. As long as the demons are alive, there will be countless lackeys.

The invisibility talisman was still in effect. If he didn’t run now, when would he? Unlike Long Tian, who liked to charge head-on and fight alone, a villain must use the advantages of being a villain, such as connections and resources. That’s right, Ye Yong was going to call for reinforcements.

The city’s protective formation had already shown cracks, and its shielding ability had failed. Ye Yong contacted the Sect Master of Tianluo Sect, Chu Moyan, while running.

“Sect Master! I have an urgent situation to report!” Ye Yong was the only disciple in the sect who could directly communicate with the Sect Master using the sound transmission stone.

“Speak, I’m listening.” Chu Moyan was still in the Xuande Realm. His current task was to combat the demonic cults in the Southern Xuande Continent to prevent the Kunlun Realm cultivators from being harmed.

“I’m now in Shilin City of the Northern Cold Continent. A war has broken out here, and I have discovered traces of demons among the allied forces.”

“Demons?” Even someone as powerful as Chu Moyan had never heard of this term. But it was not surprising, as the invasion of the Kunlun Realm by demons happened ten thousand years ago. With the passage of time and the deliberate concealment by the old folks of the Central Continent, the younger generation knew nothing about it.

“Are they demonic clans?” Chu Moyan asked.

All things in the world may become demonic during cultivation, influenced by inner demons or external factors. Even saints, once possessed, can become extremely insane and bloodthirsty.

“How should I put it, their behavior is similar, they all love slaughter, but their essence is different. Demons have other names, like extraterrestrial demon species, pollution remnants, and so on. In short, they are a race born for destruction,” Ye Yong briefly mentioned the war from a hundred thousand years ago. “According to Sister Qingwu, our Kunlun Realm cannot ascend because of a fierce battle with the demons.”

Anyway, he first shifted the source of the information to Ye Qingwu. Her family had a demon saint, so it was normal for her to know some ancient secrets.

Chu Moyan, who had lived for thousands of years, was indeed a strong figure. After a brief shock, he did not question Ye Yong, because it was well known that the Kunlun Realm had severed its connection with the Immortal Realm. The only uncertain thing was the reason for the severance, and Ye Yong’s explanation was not far-fetched. Moreover, according to ancient books, the Kunlun Realm was extremely prosperous a hundred thousand years ago, with divine bodies and immortal bodies flying all over the sky, and saint bodies and spirit bodies as common as dogs. Many secret realms with significant opportunities in the current Kunlun Realm were left from that time, which speaks volumes.

As for why the information had a gap and no one had heard of demons or extraterrestrial demon species, Chu Moyan thought it was probably to avoid causing public panic and the birth of evil cult organizations. After all, some things are better known than unknown.

Chu Moyan immediately set off for the Northern Cold Continent. “How strong are the demons you discovered?”

“Uh, actually, I didn’t find the main body, just some lackeys who worship demons. But I’m sure they borrowed the power of demons. In terms of cultivation, they are at the Nascent Soul level, and there should be stronger beings behind them.”

“Understood, I will rush over as quickly as possible.”

“Lord Sect Master, have the venerable ones returned to the Kunlun Realm?” The venerable ones Ye Yong referred to were naturally the three semi-saints. For someone like him who always sought stability, even if the semi-saints did not take action, it would be good to have them watching from the side.

“They left half a month ago. It’s probably too late to contact them now. But don’t worry, as long as the strength of the demons you mentioned does not exceed the seventh level of the Great Ascension, I can handle it. Even if it exceeds, as long as it’s not above the ninth level, I have a way to restrain them.”

As expected of someone with a natural sword bone, who swept through all the prodigies of his generation, his words were full of confidence. Crossing three levels to fight at the seventh level of the Great Ascension, and if he couldn’t win, he could still restrain them. Ye Yong had great confidence in Chu Moyan’s strength. Moreover, given the nature of demons, if they were hiding in the dark and not coming out, it indicated that their numbers were few and their cultivation would not be too high. But they couldn’t be careless, because demons who knew how to hide were intelligent, unlike those cannon fodder with only cultivation.

Putting away the sound transmission stone, Ye Yong once again passed by the Reversed Horse Tavern and found that a battle was taking place there. Lin Junran was still standing on the top floor balcony, with Lin Feng protecting him, while the rest of the Lin family guards were fighting outside the tavern.

As for the targets of the war, they are the traitors who abandoned their formation strongholds. The Danwa organization began to clear them out, and the Lin family openly supported the city lord. Since the battle reached their side, they naturally took action, and killing the demons could provide materials, so why not?

Ye Yong did not continue to pay attention and silently passed by. When he was about to reach the middle circle, an explosion suddenly occurred beside him. The surrounding trees and buildings shattered into fragments. Ye Yong quickly avoided the aftermath and then saw the protagonist, disheveled and running out of the smoke, followed closely by the frenzied soldiers chasing him.

A Nascent Soul chasing a Core Formation, it was like playing. Yes, the frenzied soldiers were indeed playing. They were completely toying with Long Tian, watching him make futile struggles, enjoying the process of slowly playing him to death.

Awesome!

The city’s protective formation was broken by the demons, and the army quickly invaded. Inside Shilin City, traitors were being cleared out, and Long Tian was fleeing for his life, causing destruction everywhere, as if the troubles in the city weren’t enough.

It had to be the protagonist, the little troublemaker.

Ye Yong had long known about Long Tian’s talent, so he was not surprised.

Watching Long Tian and the frenzied soldiers gradually disappear into the distance, Ye Yong observed around and did not find the small soldier who had been following the frenzied soldiers. That guy was definitely a demon’s lackey, but his cultivation was much lower. Ordinary methods might not catch him, but with the system shop, Ye Yong was not afraid. His only worry was that the guy might commit suicide in advance.

Now the reversal points had reached a total height of 2.15 million. After buying the triple time treasure, there were still 150,000 left. Opening the system shop to search for demon-related tools, Ye Yong felt a pang of pain. The so-called basic version of the demon detector actually cost 150,000.

The difference between the basic and advanced versions was only in the detection range. The basic version could detect within a radius of five miles, while the advanced version could detect within twenty miles.

Fortunately, there was a cheap low-end option. Ye Yong spent 20,000 to upgrade the Qi-seeking disk, allowing it to search for demon auras.

There was a big difference between searching for auras and having the detector directly display the location on the map. On the map, the opponent’s location was clear at a glance, while searching for auras required finding it oneself.

Sprinkling the powder of demonic argument, soon a number of dark purple auras emerged, each leading to different directions. Clearly, there was more than one demonic lackey within Shilin City.

Ye Yong pondered for a moment and headed westward.
