Chapter 207 The Reaction of All Parties

Mo Jin smashed the table in front of him with his fist, gritting his teeth and saying, "Mo! Ying!"

Mo Jin's chest heaved violently, wishing he could throw those people, along with Mo Ying, into another world.

“These troublesome human cultivators, wouldn’t it be better if they just stayed in their own world?” Mo Jin paced back and forth. “No, they still need to be sent back to other worlds. It would be best to send the other nine princes away as well.”

"Your Highness, why not kill them, but just drive them away?" asked the subordinate who had been following Mo Jin for many years, voicing the question that had puzzled him for years.

Mo Jin suddenly stopped, scratching his hair in frustration. "By sending them to other worlds, there won't be any demons vying with me for the Demon Emperor's throne. At the same time, it will also prevent them from not even having a chance to be reincarnated after they die. Do you understand?" His subordinates had followed him for many years, and their lives were entirely in his hands. As the demon he trusted most, it wouldn't hurt to tell him some of his true thoughts.

The subordinate froze, his expression blank. "So His Highness doesn't want your princes to die?"

What about all those years of hard work and endurance? What about the hostility they've endured from the other princes? Did they enjoy it?

Mo Jin raised his hands and clenched them into fists, but then let them fall limply: "It's true that you want that position, it's true that you hate my younger brothers and sisters, and it's also true that you want to give them a way to live. Do you understand?"

They will remain in the Demon Realm until the next Demon Emperor ascends the throne; the other princes will only die in the Blood Demon Cave and Blood Demon Pool.

The subordinate reacted quickly, catching on to his prince's conflicted feelings, and then pointed out the key issue: "Even if the rest of the princes are sent away from the Demon Realm, the Blood Demon Cave and Blood Demon Pool will not receive nourishment, and the Demon Realm may face great chaos in the future!"

The Blood Demon Cave and the Blood Demon Pool can be considered the two greatest treasures of the Demon Realm, even though they require pure-blooded demons as nourishment and the blood of living beings to sustain them.

Mo Jin calmed down, chuckled, and looked at the building where the Demon Emperor was located, "That one is enough to replace the combined weight of all ten of us brothers and sisters."

The subordinate gasped. Although he knew that the ten princes hated the Demon Emperor the most, he never expected that his prince would have the idea of ​​throwing the Demon Emperor into the Blood Demon Cave to die in place of the other princes!

Such a treasonous idea—he admired him even more! As expected of his prince, he could even come up with such a method! All demons should learn from his prince.

Mo Jin: "Last time when she threw Mo You to another world, you were all watching from the sidelines. Did you learn anything from that?"

The subordinate replied firmly, "Your Highness, I haven't learned it!"

Mo Jin: "Why are you so passionate if you haven't learned how to speak?" He was annoyed by his subordinate. "Fine, get some magic and come with me to the Blood Demon Cave."

"Yes!" the subordinate replied, disappearing from Mo Jin's sight.

Only Mo Jin remained. He rubbed his face with both hands and said, "What sins did I commit in my past life to become the eldest prince of the Demon Clan in this life, and also have to deal with this group of subordinates?"

Mo Jin wanted to go to the Blood Demon Cave himself, as did the other demon princes. They all had the same idea: kill them one by one!

He seized the throne not for any other reason than to live for himself.

One by one, the princes in the Demon Palace disappeared and then reappeared near the Blood Demon Cave. Every now and then, Mo Ying would find a brother or sister. At first, she was angry, but later she became numb. She had to count how many demons had come.

In the most heavily guarded building of the Demon Palace, only a few candles burned in the dimly lit room, their flames so small that they seemed to be extinguished by the wind stirred up by a passing demon.

"They've all gone?" A hoarse, aged voice rang out, lacking vitality and instead carrying an aura of death.

"Your Majesty, seven have gone, and three are still in the Demon Palace." The voice was vibrant, yet obsequious; upon closer listening, it sounded like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to deliver a fatal blow to its prey at any moment.

But this beautiful venomous snake did not deliver a fatal blow to its prey. She played the role of a loyal subject in front of her prey, but secretly took away its life little by little. Watching the prey struggle for its life in front of her, it still believed that she could save it.

The Demon Emperor sighed, "It's a pity we didn't send them all. If we had, we could have wiped them all out in one fell swoop." He was about to die, but his close advisor had brought him a way to prolong his life without having to possess someone else's body. The thought of it made him feel wonderful.

The venomous snake flicked its tongue, and she hid in a dark corner, her smile widening. "But the First Prince and the Third Prince are there. They can help resolve some of the issues. They possess your bloodline. Transfer their lifespans to you, and then use them to nourish the Blood Demon Cave and the Blood Demon Pool. If you go to the Blood Demon Cave and the Blood Demon Pool again, you will not only have a longer lifespan, but your strength will also increase."

The Demon Emperor rolled his turbid eyes. "You, show me that secret manual again. There can't be any mistakes."

The secret technique was naturally meant to prolong the Demon Emperor's life. Even after the close advisor presented it to him, the Demon Emperor harbored doubts about its authenticity. However, the technique was meticulously prepared by the advisor. A dying demon, driven mad by a thirst for extended life, would, in his final moments, deliberately overlook some of the technique's flaws due to his intense will to survive. The advisor exploited this dying impulse; though the method was risky, she succeeded.

The close advisor rolled her eyes and smiled as she presented the secret method again. She believed he wouldn't notice anything wrong with it, because he was only looking at the secret method again to strengthen his resolve.

Sure enough, after reading it once, the Demon Emperor's complexion became much rosier, and he lay down again with a smile on his lips. He instructed his close advisors, "They didn't discover the hidden problems in the Blood Demon Cave and the Blood Demon Pool, did they?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, only you and I know about the crisis in the Blood Demon Cave and the Blood Demon Pool."

"That's good..." The Demon Emperor closed his eyes, and after a long while, he opened them again. "Go and detonate the dangers in those two places. Don't let them have a chance to live."

The close advisor smiled even more broadly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

...

Inside the Blood Demon Cave, the cries grew louder and louder.

Song Yin inevitably began to silently shed tears; the impact was too great, and she found it difficult to suppress her various negative emotions.

Mo You sobbed, "The Blood Demon Cave has three levels, sob sob... After turning this corner and pushing open the door, sob sob sob... we can enter the second level, sob sob sob..." He had been crying for too long, and now his eyes were sore and his head was starting to feel dizzy.

“I thought there would be all sorts of battles inside…” Shen Yuzhu sniffed, “but I didn’t expect it to only make us empathize with all sorts of emotions.”

Song Yin raised her hand again to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "The extreme negative emotions of a single living being are strong enough. This place is a collection of the negative emotions of countless living beings. The longer we stay here, the more painful it will be. If this continues for a long time, our attention will eventually be scattered, and our thinking will become sluggish and slow. When we are completely immersed in this state, I don't even want to think how dangerous it will be when we encounter combat later."

Her spiritual energy constantly protected her eyes, and she glanced back at the others, saying, "This won't do."

The group stopped, including Mo You, who also stopped and looked at Song Yin.

Song Yin took out pills from her spatial storage and distributed them to them, saying, "These are calming pills. Try them and see if they work."

Shi Heming immediately took the pill, and it began to take effect. He carefully sensed the changes and found that it was effective. Although it could not completely eliminate emotions that did not belong to us, it could suppress half of them.

Mo You: "This pill is really useful. You human cultivators have so many ways to make things. If we had something like this, we could help many demons pass through the Blood Demon Cave safely."

Song Yin: "Alright, let's continue."

After taking the medicine, the sobbing decreased significantly. The negative emotions were still there, but at least she could hold back her tears.

After walking for about ten minutes around the corner, Mo You pointed ahead and said, "We're here! This is the door! Some demons say there will be a battle on the second floor, while others say there won't be. Each demon will encounter different situations."

Song Yin and the others each conjured up their weapons and held them in their hands.

The gate, like the one in front, was covered with densely packed runes. The heavy gate wouldn't budge even when pushed forcefully.

Mo You tried again, but still couldn't push the door open.

"How could that be? Last time I even managed to open a crack."

Song Yin: "Push open a crack, and then what?"

Mo You: "Then everything went blurry before my eyes, and I was kicked into the Xuan Tian Realm."

"kick?"

Mo You was affected by negative emotions, and even the slightest resentment in his heart was magnified infinitely. With a gloomy face, he said with resentment, "Yes, we were kicked in the butt by the demon race. I am a prince of the demon race, after all. She disrespected me so much. When I ascend to the throne of the demon emperor, I will launch the demon race to attack the demon race."

No one paid any attention to Mo You's words; the most important thing now was to push open the door in front of them.

Xia Xining: "Should we use force to blast it open?"

Song Yin asked Mo You, "Can this place withstand attacks of all levels?"

Mo You: "The Blood Demon Cave and Blood Demon Pool are special; no matter how strong the attack, it will not destroy them. You can attack them with all your might."

Xia Xining and the others were all eager to fight, but were also affected by negative emotions and were filled with anger.

Without saying a word, Xia Xining took out a high-level magic weapon and said, "Everyone step back and be careful to defend."

No one underestimated the situation; everyone raised their defenses, and Mo You also raised his defenses and retreated several meters away.

With a deafening boom, the ground of the Blood Demon Cave trembled, and the runes seemed to come alive, twisting and changing before quickly returning to calm.

Then, looking at the door that no one could push open, a gap appeared, large enough for people to stand and pass through.

Xia Xining was delighted and waved to the people behind her, saying, "Let's go—"

She had barely taken a few steps after speaking when Xia Xining suddenly bent over and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"puff--!"

"Xia Xining!" Song Yin rushed forward to support her. Upon examination, she discovered that Xia Xining had severe internal injuries and her life was in danger at any moment.

Various life-saving pills were fed into Xia Xining's mouth as if they were free.

Han Wuyue walked over to Mo You and asked, "What happened?"

Xia Xining knew the power of the magical artifact and also raised her defenses. There was no reason why they were fine while Xia Xining herself was in trouble.

Mo You was also shocked by the unexpected turn of events: "Every living being encounters different situations in the Blood Demon Cave and Blood Demon Pool. Her situation seems to be a backlash."

Shen Yuzhu appeared behind Mo You and patted him on the shoulder, "Explain yourself clearly."

Mo You: "The record of the rebound appeared three thousand years ago. At that time, a demon also encountered the rebound. The record clearly states that no matter how much strength he used to attack, he would suffer multiple injuries."

Outside the Blood Demon Cave, Mo Ying and the others also sensed the commotion that had just occurred.

"A fight broke out inside?" Mo You asked worriedly.

Jing Yue, who was controlling the thorns, said, "No, it's just that a little girl encountered a backlash."

Mo Ying: "Your ability is really useful." Hearing that Mo You wasn't injured, her worry subsided. "What bad luck, it actually triggered a backlash."

Jing Yue: "Compared to the situation inside, you should be worried about your own predicament."

Mo Ying wasn't surprised to hear this. She calmly turned around and said to an open space, "Aren't you coming out yet, big brother?"

Subordinate: Really? Your Highness—! (Eyes welling up with tears of emotion)
