411 They are all smart people
Shen Pan’s words made the elders’ hearts skip a beat.
Everyone knows that he was brought up by the Demon Lord Jiangxiao, and he has a very close relationship with Jiangxiao, and can almost be considered Jiangxiao's adopted son.
When I first heard this, I thought Chen Pan wanted to unlock the seal of Jiang Xiao.
Immediately, an impatient elder objected: "We sealed His Majesty not to betray him, but we don't want the evil thoughts in his body to break out of the confinement and bring disaster to the demon world!"
Someone else echoed, "That's right! Have you forgotten the tragic scene when the evil thoughts ravaged the demon world? How many innocent demons were controlled by the evil thoughts, killed their relatives and friends, and even killed each other?"
"How many cities have been turned into dead cities because of this, with blood flowing everywhere?"
"The resentment of these dead demons will not dissipate, and will breed more evil thoughts, causing greater tragedies and harming more innocent demons."
"Chen Pan, you yourself crawled out of this hell full of evil thoughts, have you forgotten?"
"I didn't forget!" Shen Pan slammed the table and stood up, his teeth chattering.
When Shen Pan was young, his entire family was controlled by evil thoughts. He watched with his own eyes as his father killed his entire family with a knife and then tried to kill him.
If Jiang Xiao had not appeared in time to save him, he would have died at the hands of his loved ones.
Shen Pan still can't forget the horror of screams and roars coming from all directions.
The once peaceful city was now littered with corpses and rivers of blood. Once familiar relatives and friends were madly hacking and killing all living things around them. Even the sky and the earth seemed to have turned bloody.
It is precisely because he could not forget the serious consequences of rampant evil thoughts that he could understand the feelings of the elders in sealing Jiang Xiao.
These elders who are in the Tribulation Crossing Stage are also afraid.
Just like when he was young.
But he couldn't forgive them, nor could he forgive himself for not being able to help in any way.
Shen Pan took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions, and said in a cold voice: "I am not here to argue with you about evil thoughts today, but to ask you if you know the existence of the 'Devourer'."
"Devourer?" The elders looked at each other, whispered, and shook their heads, "What is that?"
"He is the culprit that caused the extinction of the vitality of the demon world." Shen Pan glanced at the elders present one by one. Seeing that they all looked serious, he slowly said, "The Devourer is an ancient cultivator with a very high level of cultivation. However, in order to pursue a higher level of cultivation, he began to embark on the path of devouring..."
Chen Pan told the elders all the information he got from the second elder, and all the elders frowned.
Some people were secretly thinking of countermeasures.
Some people were talking in low voices.
Some people also questioned Shen Pan's source of information: "Such secret information, not even His Majesty has mentioned it, how did you know it?"
"Your Majesty may not know the existence of the Devourer. I..." Shen Pan hesitated for a moment and told the truth, "I met a cultivator from the Tiancheng Spirit World."
The elders were shocked: "They are attacking us?"
"Has the seal of the Spirit Demon Realm been broken?"
"How many of them are here? What are their cultivation levels?"
"Is Mingchen here?"
Seeing them getting anxious, Shen Pan suddenly found it ridiculous: "Don't worry, they are here to cooperate. In other words, they are willing to save us."
Although he didn't want to admit it, Shen Pan could feel the sincerity in the Second Elder's words.
The other party could just leave it alone and let the Devourer suck the demon world dry.
Now he has come to the Demon Realm specifically to inform us of this matter, which shows the other party's sincerity and goodwill.
However, the elders were quite skeptical of his words: "We have long been enemies with the Tiancheng Spirit Realm. Would they be so kind as to come and save us? Is this some conspiracy?"
"Perhaps even the concept of 'devourer' was made up by them to fool us. Otherwise, how could they know something that even His Majesty doesn't know?"
"Their source of information should be Mingchen." Shen Pan said.
When the elders mentioned Immortal Master Mingchen who sent them back to the demon world with one punch, they all fell silent.
In order to gain the trust of the demons, the second elder explained the whole story very clearly.
That’s why Shen Pan took her words to heart.
Now he recounted the story truthfully: "One hundred thousand years ago, before the Demon Realm attacked the Tiancheng Spirit Realm, Mingchen had just fought with the Devourer. This battle caused the Tiancheng Spirit Realm to be shattered, and Mingchen had to create the world again."
"Everyone present here participated in the war between spirits and demons a hundred thousand years ago. You should remember that the Tiancheng Spirit Realm at that time was very strange, like a newly created world. This is the reason."
The elders looked at each other, and no one refuted.
Because the vitality of the demon world is declining and the spiritual energy is thin, no new monks in the tribulation period have been born in the past 100,000 years.
Instead, a succession of cultivators in the Tribulation Crossing Stage ran out of lifespan and died.
When they were defeated and forced to return to the Demon Realm, the Demon Lord Jiang Xiao was sealed. When the elders reviewed the battle, no one could understand the situation in the Tiancheng Spirit Realm, and some even suspected that it might be some kind of formation.
Thinking about it now, that was indeed the scene at the beginning of creation.
Some elders thought more deeply and carefully asked Chen Pan, "Who is stronger, Mingchen or the Devourer?"
"It's hard to say. According to the cultivators in the Tiancheng Spiritual Realm, both sides suffered losses back then." Chen Pan stopped there, but the elders were all smart people and understood what he meant.
——Mingchen defeated the demon army while seriously injured and sealed them.
Doesn’t that mean Chen’s combat power is far higher than that of the Mahayana Demon Lord Jiang Xiao?
Using this as a comparison, we can infer that the Devourer's strength is higher than that of the Mahayana period.
They were able to seal Jiang Xiao because his evil thoughts had been growing stronger over the past 100,000 years, and most of Jiang Xiao's strength was used to suppress the evil thoughts in his body, leaving him unable to draw out more strength to deal with them.
If not for this, with Jiang Xiao's cultivation level at the Mahayana stage, he could crush them all with one hand.
Although Jiang Xiao also had evil thoughts sealed in his body 100,000 years ago, they were not as rampant as they are today. He could use 80% of his strength at his strongest, but he was still defeated by Ming Chen without any chance to fight back.
The Devourer is so powerful, aren't they doomed?
The elder, who was quick-witted, had already sorted out the logic quickly, and asked Chen Pan in a serious tone: "You said that the cultivators from the Tiancheng Spiritual Realm came to save us. Could it be that Mingchen is sure to defeat the Devourer and is willing to let us go?"
"They didn't mention Mingchen much. I suspect she is probably in a very bad condition or has already died." This was the speculation that Chen Pan came up with after thinking along the way.
"So how do they plan to deal with the Devourer?" asked the elder.
Chen Pan said truthfully: "They didn't say that, they just said they wanted to discuss it with us. I doubt they have a solution. However, the information about the Devourer is very important. At least it won't let us not know how we died."
This helplessness makes Shen Pan's words more convincing.
The elders looked disappointed, with their brows furrowed.
If the Tiancheng Spirit Realm really has the ability to deal with the Devourer, then it means they can easily destroy the Demon Realm and there is no need for them to come all the way here.
The sound of the elders talking in low voices could be heard in the royal court. Shen Pan frowned as he listened, while secretly thinking of a countermeasure.
At this time, an elder asked: "Did the cultivators in the Tiancheng Spirit Realm provide any information about the evil thoughts?"
This question made Shen Pan stunned.
In addition to the withering of vitality and the disappearance of spiritual energy, evil thoughts are also a major problem that plagues the demon world. Why have I never heard anyone from the Tiancheng spiritual world mention this?
