Chapter 746 Because He's Bad

"He ambushed Master?!" Ye Wanxi exclaimed again, "Is Master alright?"

Although Ye Wanxi had only met Uncle Wu a few times, she could sense that her master liked this junior brother who was not from the same sect very much and did not guard against him on a daily basis.

"Master is alright, thanks in large part to the surprise attack from the Demon Realm. Since you left, Master has changed a lot, becoming more composed and cautious, and usually leaves room for maneuver when interacting with others. Therefore, Wu Yequan's sneak attack failed. Although Master was surprised, he managed to block his attack in time."

"It was around that time that Uncle-Master Wu revealed his secret of having already fallen into demonic ways and practicing demonic arts. The eldest brother, along with Master and Uncle-Master, joined forces to try to capture him, but he used some of the junior brothers and sisters in the sect as shields. In the end, under their cover, he still managed to escape."

"Where did they run off to?"

Xiang Yueqi chuckled: "Where else could he go? His identity has been exposed, causing a worldwide uproar. All sects and factions believe that the invasion of the Demon Realm is inextricably linked to him, and that is indeed the case. Wu Yequan has long been in contact with the King of the Demon Realm."

"It was because of his instigation that the Demon King gathered his forces to break out of the Demon Realm. He also acted as their guide during the Demon Realm's invasion, instructing them on how to effectively infiltrate various sects."

"What exactly is his purpose? Why would he risk everything to bring a demon into the human world? Is it just to prove that he is stronger than his master? Or is it simply to experience the pleasure of killing?"

"No, his ambition is greater than you imagine. He wants to turn the human world into a purgatory, and he wants to use the power of the demon realm to make all sects and factions submit. After that, he also wants to devour the king of the demon realm and become the complete ruler of the demon realm and the human world. And in fact, he did do this, but some things failed and some things succeeded."

Ye Wanxi looked curious. This failure must mean that the Immortal Slaughtering Formation was broken, the demon army was repelled, and his so-called plan to create a hell on earth had failed.

So, who is successful...?

Seemingly noticing Ye Wanxi's confusion, Feng Tianyu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of indifference and sarcasm: "The Immortal Slaughtering Formation was destroyed, the Demon Realm army was defeated, and even the Demon Realm King was severely injured thanks to the joint efforts of Master and the great masters of various sects."

"Wu Yequan pretended to be separated from the two sides during the battle, but in fact he followed the demon army into the demon realm. Taking advantage of the demon king's injury and weakness, he ambushed him, killed him, and absorbed all of his demonic power to become the new king of the demon realm."

Ye Wanxi was stunned. After a long while, she muttered under her breath, "Why does he like to ambush people so much?"

Or was it a lucky break? How come I never realized Uncle Wu was so cunning before!

Feng Tianyu curled his lips slightly and said mercilessly, "Because he's bad at it."

Ye Wanxi: “???”

"Grandmaster and Grandmaster Uncle were right back then. Wu Yequan's talent is truly ordinary, whether he cultivates immortality or demonic cultivation. His dark psychology makes it easier for him to cultivate after falling into demonic cultivation than immortal cultivation, but it is impossible for him to make rapid progress like those with good talent."

"That's why he never dared to return to his family home for so many years. He was afraid that his skills were not good enough and that his senior uncles and elders would see through his disguise and kill him out of loyalty. Even when he later returned to his family home to work as a spy, he had to use extremely powerful magic artifacts to cover up his demonic aura."

"However, while his abilities are not particularly impressive, he is extremely adept at manipulating people's hearts. He instigated the Demon King to invade the Human Realm, focusing his attacks on various sects and factions, with the intention of causing both sides to suffer heavy losses so that he could reap the benefits in the end. Although things did not ultimately go as he envisioned, the Demon Army was severely weakened and the Demon King was seriously injured, which still gave him an opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

"However, his abilities are limited. Even though the Demon King was seriously injured, he was still no match for him without a sneak attack."

Ye Wanxi: "..." These words were unexpectedly heartbreaking.

"He became the king of the demon realm, and no one had any objections to him."

It is important to understand that the concept of "might makes right" applies not only in the cultivation world but also even more so in the demon realm.

Even the former Demon King probably has a group of people eyeing his throne covetously.

With him seriously injured, who knows how many people, like Wu Yequan, secretly plotted to kill him and take his place.

As a result, this ambition was nipped in the bud before it could even sprout, and Ye Wanxi didn't think those people would let it go so easily.

"Back then, our Demon Realm was in turmoil, and the news of the change of kings did reach everyone's ears. However, at that time, no one knew that the new king was Uncle Wu. They thought that the old one had died so easily. But these people in the Demon Realm are all bad. It doesn't matter who you kill to avenge yourself. The old one is dead, but there's this new one. Sooner or later, you'll kill him too."

"Afterwards, the Demon Realm was indeed in turmoil for a period of time, but Wu Yequan did absorb the demonic power of the former king, and he was particularly ruthless to himself. After killing the former king and reducing his soul to ashes, Wu Yequan also made use of his corpse. He used his flesh and blood to cleanse his bones and marrow, greatly increasing his strength. Most of those who were dissatisfied with him were killed by him, and the turmoil naturally subsided."

Ye Wanxi's expression changed slightly. Using the flesh and blood of others to cleanse one's bones and marrow is a terrifying forbidden technique. Not only is the person killed miserable, but the person who performs the forbidden technique must also suffer immense pain.

After all, having one's entire body replaced by magic is no exaggeration to say it's excruciatingly painful.

Wu Yequan's actions reveal both his ambition to advance further and his deep-seated hatred for his pitiful talent and aptitude for cultivation.

Even if it means enduring the pain of being devoured by thousands of ants and torn apart by a thousand cuts, one must replace one's flesh and bones with someone else's.

"It was precisely because of this bone-cleansing and marrow-washing process that his strength leaped several levels in a short period of time, which enabled him to escape from the encirclement of his master and several senior uncles and elder brothers after the matter was exposed."

"What happened after he escaped? Did he go back to the Demon Realm?"

"Um."

"What did he do after that? Did he instruct the people of the Demon Realm to continue harming people, or...?"

"He would like to, but unfortunately..."

"pity?"

"Unfortunately, after that battle with his uncles and senior brothers, although he managed to escape, he was still injured. The Demon Realm had a new king, which was already turbulent, and there was a large group of people eyeing it covetously. He had already spent most of his energy cleaning up the mess, so after that, the Demon Realm was relatively peaceful for a while. Until..."

"until?"

"Until the eldest brother achieved mastery of his cultivation, single-handedly stormed into the Demon Realm, and killed him?"

Ye Wanxi: "???" Damn, is the jump in the numbers really that big?
