Chapter 485: Chapter 510: Demon King’s Secret Order
No matter how the two thought, they could never have imagined that this was a scroll documenting the complete Black Moon Extraordinary Sequence.
Master Yi Xian’s eyes sparkled, nearly unable to contain the excitement in her heart.
"I remember, you are an Extraordinary, right.
Even if it’s a complete Black Moon Sequence, you shouldn’t be able to cultivate it."
Baiyu asked.
Master Yi Xian shook her head: "I can start from the beginning. The power of the Black Moon is extremely corrosive, and as long as it’s deliberately guided, the Extraordinary Sequence accumulated in the body before could very likely be devoured by it."
Seeing her say this,
Baiyu knew that Master Yi Xian was determined to obtain this Extraordinary Sequence.
Even if it costs her life,
she might not give up.
After all,
the influence of the Black Moon on her is really too great, almost reaching an indelible level.
"Suit yourself."
Baiyu paused for a moment and said: "But let me remind you, this Sequence might not be genuine.
Don’t forget.
We encountered an attack in the Temple of the Sea Demons.
Obtaining this scroll so easily might very well be a trap set up by someone in secret."
Master Yi Xian nodded: "I’m naturally aware, so before cultivating, I will carefully discern."
Seeing her persistence, Baiyu said nothing more.
Even if it’s real, for Master Yi Xian to cultivate it, who knows if it’s good or bad.
In any case,
he cannot walk this Sequence.
"Are you still uneasy about me?"
Seeing Baiyu’s expression, Master Yi Xian smiled with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Now, I only have you as my student, and in the future, I can only rely on you. Moreover, do you think you can make significant plans with just the little power you hold?"
Seeing Baiyu’s expression remain unchanged,
Master Yi Xian continued: "Think about it, possessing this Sequence, how many loyal Extraordinaries can you cultivate?
Even,
those the Churches possess complete Extraordinary Sequences, might only be one or two.
The rest are all incomplete.
This is a tremendous force, and as long as I walk this Sequence, I can help you control this power."
Baiyu remained unmoved and said: "Do you think I would believe your nonsense?"
"Humph, believe it or not."
Master Yi Xian glared at him, "Someday, you’ll understand my good intentions.
Think about it.
Now, the situation of the East Prosperity Empire, the situation of the Human Race, isn’t great.
If you don’t seek a backup plan for yourself, how will you stand firm in the chaotic future?"
Upon hearing this,
Baiyu’s expression finally changed, puzzled: "The situation isn’t good?"
We must know,
since the East Prosperity Empire started the war, reports kept coming from the front line.
Indeed,
at one point, the Demon Race was forced to retreat deep into the Spirit Realm.
Isn’t this a situation full of advantages?
Master Yi Xian laughed: "Do you really believe the East Prosperity Empire has that great advantage?
Since the empire’s founding to now,
it has always been in a state of decline.
In other words, when the empire was established was its peak.
But after that, national power kept declining.
Then, it went through several wars.
Over the years, the wear and tear on its national power has been severe.
Not to mention anything else, just those dozens of Legendary Ships, how many of them are still operational?
These things,
cannot be hidden from those with discerning eyes.
The decline of the East Prosperity Imperial is evident to the naked eye.
This war, initiated for convenience, is an act of gambling with national fortune."
Upon hearing Master Yi Xian say this,
Baiyu fell into silence.
"Therefore, you should quickly seek a backup plan so that when irresistible upheavals occur later, you at least have the opportunity to choose."
Master Yi Xian continued.
Baiyu, although skeptical of her words, cannot completely dismiss them.
The fall of Zenith City had already made him wary in this regard.
Indeed,
a city as huge as Zenith City had no ability to resist.
Baiyu does not want to experience such a situation again.
The feeling of having his destiny held by others is truly unpleasant.
"Look after it yourself, but I will watch your actions. If you are unsure of anything, feel free to ask me."
Baiyu finally made up his mind.
Hearing this, Master Yi Xian revealed a relieved expression. To re-enter the Black Moon Sequence, she would have to go through a long period of weakness, during which only Baiyu could provide her with shelter.
If Baiyu did not support her, she would have no alternative.
"Don’t worry, I will not disappoint you."
Master Yi Xian whispered.
...
Spirit Realm, Dark Realm.
Demon Abyss City.
As the headquarters of the Demon Race, Demon Abyss City is shrouded in thick black fog all year round.
Outside the city walls,
piles of bones accumulated into bone mountains, with scavenging insects crawling in and out.
Inside Demon Abyss City,
the overall feeling is dark, solemn, serene, and silent.
Even the Demon race people walking on the streets rarely spoke, each face heavy and angry.
The battle with the East Prosperity Imperial indeed saw them retreating step by step.
Over the years.
The actions against the East Prosperity Imperial were either supported by Demons or allied with several other races.
The Demon Race alone, wanting to withstand East Prosperity’s attack, is indeed challenging.
If it weren’t for the treacherous terrain deep in the Spirit Realm.
Humans, after leaving the Shelter, find it difficult to conduct expeditions and establish bases in the Spirit Realm.
Their situation would be even more dire now.
In the main hall of Demon Abyss City,
Zi Luo, with a grim expression, looked at the report on the front line battles in his hand and coldly asked the spy kneeling below:
"What’s the deal?
The Flesh and Blood Research Association, the Wumian Mansion, they’re not planning to intervene?
The Dark Realm is under the jurisdiction of these two Great Demon forces.
What about the Sea Demon, Shell People races, what do they say?
If we are defeated,
do they think they’ll have a good outcome?"
Zi Luo’s eyes were filled with fury.
This group of bastards, all thinking of preserving themselves, yet the principle of ’lip-tooth interdependence’, not a single one understands.
"Reporting to the City Lord, other races responded that it is the order of the Fourth Celestial Demon King."
That Demon race person said.
Zi Luo’s face changed slightly.
The Fourth Celestial Demon King is the highest Leader of the Demon race and the only one who has become a Supreme Demon.
His words,
are ironclad rules for the Demon race.
Zi Luo knows about the failure of his sister Zi E’s operation.
This was the action personally commanded by the Fourth Celestial Demon King. Now that the mission has failed, this Lord Demon King is undoubtedly in his most furious state.
However,
he does not understand the reason behind the current order.
"Why have I not heard of Lord Demon King’s command."
Zi Luo’s eyes gleamed coldly, he said quietly: "I will personally consult Lord Demon King. Now that the entire East Prosperity Imperial’s forces are gathering towards the Demon Race, I want to see what they truly think."
Unavoidably, Zi Luo harbors resentment towards the Fourth Celestial Demon King.
He is far superior to his sister Zi E.
However,
the care they receive is not on the same level.
Now Zi E has completely failed, yet the Fourth Celestial Demon King, clearly, still doesn’t care much about him.
