LIGHTNOVELONLINE chapter 585
“Are you alright?” Ye Yong approached Dan Yu. There was no need to pay attention to the battle in the sky anymore, as Ye Yong had thoroughly understood the details of that demon. It was a spirit-type demon that could burn the host’s lifespan, greatly enhancing the host’s abilities in a short period. Although some other demons could do this, the spirit-type was more specialized, and Ye Yong was certain it had bonded with the Xuan Yang clan leader. Otherwise, with only the fourth level of the Demon Emperor’s cultivation, it would have been impossible to withstand that tribulation lightning punishment.
The thunder punishment, combined with Danwa’s exhaustion, had left both Yang Wei and the demons at their limits. Chu Moyan, on the other hand, was still at ease, currently pressing the attack single-handedly.
“It’s nothing serious, Young Master Ye. It’s my fault for not protecting you well enough, almost letting you get harmed.” Danwa wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and apologized to Ye Yong.
“No harm done.” Ye Yong not only didn’t blame her but was grateful to Danwa. She had suffered severe internal injuries, which were definitely not minor. If she had faced Yang Wei alone, she wouldn’t have had to endure such hardship. It was all to protect Ye Yong that she ended up in this state. Moreover, she appeared just in time, and the sect leader also arrived at the end to handle the aftermath, saving 100,000 reversal points. Therefore, Ye Yong didn’t hesitate to buy an eighth-grade healing pill.
The Qianyuan Qingling Pill, specifically for powerful cultivators, might not have the miraculous effect of regenerating flesh and bones or reviving the dead, but it was more than enough to heal internal injuries. In the outside world, it would undoubtedly be highly sought after, but in the system shop, it was nothing special, priced at only 10,000 reversal points. After all, the system determined the price based on rarity, and most consumable pills weren’t that expensive.
As soon as the eighth-grade pill appeared, it emitted a faint glow and a fragrant aroma. Just inhaling it seemed to accelerate the recovery process.
“I can’t accept this. My minor injuries don’t warrant such a precious pill.” As she spoke, Danwa couldn’t help but cough up a mouthful of blood, making the situation a bit awkward.
“The number of demons is unknown, and there may be others hiding in the shadows. It’s best for you to stay in perfect condition, Lady Danwa.” Ye Yong directly placed the pill in her hand.
“Demons?” Danwa recalled the terror of that black aura, worried about Ye Yong’s safety, and no longer refused, immediately taking the pill.
Ye Yong briefly explained the situation with the demons. Hearing this, Danwa’s face turned somber. “No wonder… No wonder there haven’t been any holy speakers in the Xuande Realm for thousands of years… It was all because of the demonic seeds from beyond the realm… My clan too…”
Ye Yong had never asked about Danwa’s past, but he had visited her old home, which had been abandoned for a long time, with no sign of the Danbird clan.
Now, hearing her few murmured words, it wasn’t hard to guess that her clan had once produced a holy speaker, who was killed by the demons in a hidden manner, and her clan members were implicated as well.
Raising her head, Danwa gazed at Yang Wei, who was trapped by the sword formation, her eyes filled with coldness.
“I won’t stop you from avenging your clan, but don’t kill him now. We must capture him and find out if there are any other demons.”
“Alright.” Danwa closed his eyes and regulated his breath, dissipating the medicinal power.
It must be said that the perfect grade eight elixir lived up to its name. After a few breaths, the chaotic demon power calmed down, and the internal injuries were almost healed. On the other side, Chu Moyan used the sword formation to knock Yang Wei to the ground, forcefully suppressing him.
Ye Yong immediately bought a high-level tool specifically for demons and directly sealed the demon inside Yang Wei. Now it was time for questioning.
Yang Wei had no more life to burn, stepping into the state of exhaustion. He looked at Chu Moyan and Danwa, then at Ye Yong, and his old face, like a dead tree shedding its bark, revealed a bitter smile: “In the end, the creatures on the ground still can’t fight against the heavens.”
“This has nothing to do with the heavens. Those who do many unjust deeds will bring about their own destruction.” Ye Yong understood the demon’s tactics and went straight to the point: “Your Lord of Destruction must have promised you many benefits, allowing your clan to grow from weak to strong, granting you power, and giving you hope to contend with the heavens, or even replace them, right?”
“How do you…” Yang Wei couldn’t see through Ye Yong. The sage in front of him was vastly different from the one he had seen before. Not to mention Danwa’s rebirth, just the fact that the weak Heavenly Dao Residence would risk destruction to save him was enough to explain the problem.
“Don’t talk nonsense. You may not have long to live, but you still have your clan. The winner becomes the king, the loser the bandit. Use your clan’s lives in exchange for the information you know. Isn’t that a good deal?” Ye Yong hit the nail on the head, directly striking Yang Wei’s weak spot.
Sensing the absence of that lord’s presence, Yang Wei was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: “What do you want to know?”
“When and where did you come into contact with the demon, and are there any other demons?”
“Demons…” Perhaps because his life was nearing its end, Yang Wei recalled the past and calmly thought. If things developed as it said, would the Xuande Realm still be the Xuande Realm? Could the Xuanyang Clan really take over the Xuande Realm completely? The lord’s abilities and words were like a heart demon, driving their clan to madness. The word “demon” was indeed very fitting.
“As far as I know, thirty thousand years ago, it and its companions came to the Xuande Realm and started a war. The creatures of the Xuande Realm fought desperately to protect it, and at the cost of many fallen strong ones, barely managed to repel them.
The Lord of Destruction possesses the ability to slay the heavens. After that great battle, the Heavenly Dao of the Xuande Realm began to weaken. Sensing this, the sages of the demon race jointly opened the secret realm of the Demon Forest, placing the legacies of fallen powerhouses within it as opportunities for future generations, and also preparing for the day they might resist the Lord of Destruction.”
“This has nothing to do with my question, does it?” Ye Yong suspected the old sheep was stalling for time, waiting for his life to end.
“It does.” Yang Wei, however, had come to terms with it. After all, he was doomed, but the Xuan Sheep Clan needed to continue, so he didn’t want to hide anything: “About ten thousand years ago, my ancestor accidentally got a chance to enter the secret realm of the Demon Forest. Inside, he found a magical treasure, and the spirit of the Lord of Destruction was hiding within it, barely clinging to life. At first, my ancestor didn’t think much of it, but later, as the spirit of the Lord of Destruction gradually recovered, it bestowed great power upon our Xuan Sheep Clan. My ancestor trusted its words implicitly.
It said that the Xuande Realm was already terminally ill, and they were the messengers sent to heal it. As long as the old Heavenly Dao was killed and a new one established, the Xuande Realm would be under the control of our Xuan Sheep Clan.
The Lord of Destruction became our Xuan Sheep Clan’s most important secret. Apart from the elders, the current clan leader, and the awakened servants, the rest of the clan did not know of its existence. As for whether there were other Lords of Destruction, it said it was the only one left, having paid a great price to attach itself to that magical treasure.”
Ye Yong pondered for a moment. Apart from the Xuan Sheep Clan, it seemed that no other family on the Northern Cold Continent or the Southern Xuande Continent had risen as quickly as the Xuan Sheep Clan, nor did they avoid conflicts, appearing to live in seclusion from the world. So Yang Wei’s words seemed quite credible.
Demons can sense the existence of their kind. There was no need for it to lie to its own lackeys. If there were really other companions, they would surely band together to cause trouble, rather than fighting alone.
