LIGHTNOVELONLINE chapter 579
“I didn’t expect such a brutal species to exist… I’ve heard the elders mention it before…” Ye Qingwu was shocked after hearing Ye Yong’s description of the demons, but she didn’t doubt Ye Yong’s words, especially after witnessing the eerie black aura on the sheep demon.
Even Keke, who usually retorted three times for every sentence Ye Yong said, was silent at this moment.
“According to you, the decline of the Xuan De realm is related to the extraterrestrial demons, and apart from the calamity ten thousand years ago, our Kunlun realm will face their attacks again in the future?” Hua Cui, always the thoughtful flower demon, quickly grasped the key points.
“That’s right. The great war only severed the connection and built a barrier. The demons are constantly attacking the barrier, and one day they will break through and invade again.”
“Even with the help of immortals, we can only repel them. Without the ascension of the Kunlun Realm, can we really withstand their attack…” Qingcui’s voice was somewhat low.
If they knew nothing, they would look forward to the future, thinking it was full of unknowns. But if they knew that a bloodthirsty race was eyeing the Kunlun Realm, they would inevitably worry and feel anxious. This is why the news of demons has been kept from the public in the Kunlun Realm, as it would only cause unnecessary panic and make people lose confidence in the future.
“How do you know this?” Song Song, with his wooden head, really didn’t understand the atmosphere and directly asked, breaking the seriousness.
“The Xuande Realm told me. After all, I am now the only Holy Word Envoy. With the reappearance of demons, it certainly hopes that I can avoid them.” Anyway, someone has to take the blame. In the Tianluo Sect, Ye Qingwu takes the blame, while here, the Xuande Realm takes the blame.
As for why the sect master didn’t mention the Xuande Realm, it was because Ye Yong wanted to enhance Chu Moyan’s trust in Ye Qingwu. After all, Ye Yong had read the script and knew who could be trusted and who couldn’t. For Chu Moyan and the others, there was a gap between humans and demons. The long-standing conflicts couldn’t be resolved just because the Ye family had a high reputation among humans.
In the middle of the novel, when Chu Moyan resists the demons, he will have conflicts with Ye Qingwu’s clan. Because of the distrust in the Ye family, Chu Moyan’s side suffers heavy casualties, and the same goes for the Ye family. If they could cooperate, they might change the outcome of the battle.
Prepare for a rainy day, plant seeds in advance, and maybe they will bear good fruit. Why not?
“I don’t like the term ‘demon’. It sounds like it has something to do with us. This must be a term coined by you humans, full of prejudice.” In terms of arguing, Keke was professional. After digesting the shocking news, she started to retort against Ye Yong and the humans.
“You’re right. It is indeed a term coined by humans. The demon clan prefers to call them ‘extraterrestrial demon species’. As for humans calling them demons, although it may not be accurate, in the inherent impression of humans, demons are evolved from animals, plants, and certain intelligent objects. And the form of demons fits this category, so…” There’s nothing I can do. That’s how the novel is set. Blame the author for the naming. Ye Yong couldn’t change anything.
“So you humans put yourselves on a pedestal…” Keke wanted to say more, but Qingcui interrupted, “Forget it. It’s just a term. Anyway, they are our common enemy, and that won’t change.”
“Yong’er, what do you think? The demons don’t show up, but the puppets can even use their power to resist the attacks of the Nascent Soul stage with their early-stage bodies.” Lin Wei implied that Ye Yong, who was only at the crystallization stage, shouldn’t get involved and hoped he wouldn’t take risks.
“Mother, don’t worry. The Xuande Realm gave me a treasure that can suppress the power of demons. In general, I think we should first find other traitors who have infiltrated the city, use the treasure to suppress them, and make them provide useful information.” Ye Yong began to arrange, “The demons want to kill the Holy Word Envoy, but they can’t find me, so they will definitely target the people around me. Xiaorou, you are responsible for sensing the demons. If any demons approach, give a warning, and then let Sister Qingwu handle them. Mother and Shimu, stay here.”
Putting aside the demons, with the city’s protective array broken, it is now wartime. Ye Yong definitely wouldn’t want Lin Wei and the girls to follow him around. Staying at the base might attract the demon’s minions, but overall, it is the safest place.
“Song Song, Miss Cui, can you accompany me and protect me?”
“Of course, no problem!” Song Song agreed immediately, while Cui looked at Ye Qingwu. Seeing Ye Qingwu nodding in agreement with Ye Yong’s arrangement, she also agreed.
Keke didn’t speak, just stared at Ye Yong, waiting to see what task he would give her. If it was something she didn’t like, she would definitely give him a hard time.
However, Ye Yong completely ignored her and left with Song Song and Cui. This made Keke feel complicated, both relieved and unwilling. She was relieved that she didn’t have to follow human orders, but unwilling that Ye Yong ignored her.
Remember this!
After absorbing the Earth Core Liquid for a month, Song Song’s cultivation improved, breaking through from the third to the fourth level of the Transformation Demon King stage. Cui’s cultivation level had always been higher, at the sixth level of the Demon King stage. Both girls were plant-type demons with special abilities, capable of handling many situations. With their help and protection, Ye Yong felt quite safe. He then quietly opened the system store and bought items that could resist late-stage Void attacks.
Just kidding, they could easily handle the Transformation stage, but anything above the Void stage was beyond their capability. After all, they weren’t geniuses who could fight across so many levels. If it weren’t for knowing that the Great Ascension stage wouldn’t easily make a move, Ye Yong would have bought items to defend against the Great Ascension stage. Using reversal points was a small matter; life was the most important.
Under the tracking of the Qi Disc, they soon found a goat demon hidden among the soldiers.
Lion Forest City was in chaos. The defenders had to deal with the rebels caused by the mad soldiers and resist the external vanguard attacking the city, making it extremely difficult. The goat demon hid among the defending soldiers, taking advantage of the fierce battle to occasionally ambush the defenders, then pretending nothing happened, fighting and retreating, which was extremely disgusting.
Fortunately, the highest cultivation among the three warring parties was only at the mid-stage Nascent Soul. Song Song slightly used her power, and a vine shot up from the ground, directly wrapping around the goat demon and bringing him in front of them. The fighting soldiers didn’t dare to make a sound and continued fighting each other.
Ye Yong immediately used the expensive item he had bought to shield against demonic powers on the goat demon. At first, the goat demon didn’t care and was even excited to see the holy words, but soon realized that he couldn’t rely on the power of that lord. He panicked and tried to end himself, but Bai Cui casually waved a hand, releasing a fragrance that was refreshing to the heart. The goat demon’s eyes immediately became dazed.
Don’t be fooled by how easily Ye Yong and his team captured him. Even if Dan Yu had come personally, without the ability to shield against demonic powers, there would only be two outcomes: either the goat demon would escape, or he would commit suicide. There was no other way.
