Chapter 42 Chapter 42 [VIP]
The future is long and there are many variables. Who can predict them?
Ling Suye stopped talking here. His lips were extremely pale and he looked like he was terminally ill and would not live long.
The young man named A Zhan held the medicine in his empty hands, and Ling Suye's heart blood fell drop by drop just above his palms.
Supported by his demonic power, the blood droplets floated in the air, giving off a sense of holiness.
The bright white moonlight from outside the window shone in, as if it was completely absorbed by the bright red blood drops.
Even though Ah Zhan had only been a demon for a short time, he recognized the owner of the blood at a glance.
"The owner of the Eye of Delusion."
Ah Zhan murmured, he seemed to want to look up at Ling Suye's eyes, but he had heard other monsters say: no monster dared to look directly into those eyes that could see through illusions, because they were the chosen ones of the human race that only appear once in a hundred years, and they were specifically designed to defeat monsters.
Those lesser demons in the demon race who were not strong enough in cultivation would instantly turn into ashes if they looked directly into the Eye of Delusion Breaking.
Even a powerful demon would be captivated by those eyes and would not be able to hold on for long.
The wheel of fate turns.
Generally speaking, when the Eye of Illusion is born, there will be injustice and disasters in the world, and this person is needed to resolve them.
Ah Zhan didn't believe this before. He thought that the old monster who told him this was crazy and extremely weak. The words of such a monster were not convincing at all.
But this time it was different, his obsession was broken.
It was broken by this person who possessed the eyes that could see through delusion.
He already believed what the old demon said to some extent.
——His sister died, and his obsession was to take her away or avenge her.
Although he condensed such a large demon domain, his sister was ruined by that scumbag in every reincarnation.
Even this time... Although it wasn't Prince Tang this time, that incident still happened.
But this is the reality, this is the closed loop of the demon realm.
Therefore, as long as his sister 'Aye' is still alive, it is the greatest comfort to him.
However, after resolving his pain and despair, this person with the eyes that could see through delusion did not actually "save" him.
The death of a great demon is called "enlightenment".
This person wanted to let him leave Shangjing City.
Ling Suye watched as the blood drop above Ah Zhan's palm gradually turned into a red blood mist. The moonlight gave it a layer of bright silver-white edge, and then it was slowly absorbed into Ah Zhan's brow.
He swallowed the last drop and kept it together with his demon pill.
——From what this gentleman said, I’m afraid it will be necessary in the future.
After doing all this, Ah Zhan kowtowed three times to the ground.
Monsters have no blood. Even if they are hit hard and their skin is cracked, their skin is still white.
"Azhan will leave Shangjing City temporarily, and his next destination is..." Azhan's greatest wish is that his sister can be "alive". Now that his wish has been fulfilled, he has no regrets in death. He has no family, no friends, and nowhere to go. Suddenly, a small flash of inspiration appeared in Azhan's mind.
——The old woman he met on the road who always talked nonsense.
"Ah Zhan will go to Qiwu in Huizhou next. If you need anything, A Zhan will come at any time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Suye felt a chill on his palm. He looked down and found that there was nothing in his hand, only a small silver-white round spot.
It looks like a mermaid pearl of extremely high quality.
Ling Suye was also stunned. Is this... a demon contract?
He had only seen a few fragments of records in the ancient books at home before, and he still remembered that when he turned to this part, his father slapped him and the book fell to the ground.
The ancient book was already in a state of decline, and suddenly under this external force, it immediately fell apart, with pieces of paper flying all over the sky.
That night, it was A'niang who came to explain to him personally: "Aye, don't blame your father for being so angry. There was indeed an extremely talented ancestor in the Ling family who was able to form a contract with a demon. This incident even caused a sensation in the Ling family at the time, but the final fate of that ancestor..."
A'niang sighed, unable to bear hiding the truth from him, and said, "That ancestor's personality changed drastically due to demonic energy within his body, and he gradually became more demonic. He didn't realize it at first, but only realized he had become a demon when he suddenly grew a tail. He didn't tell anyone, though, and secretly hid the tail in his pants. But things didn't last long, as his eyes became vertical, like a cat's. You can't hide this from anyone."
Ling Suye was still young at that time, and he felt that the stories of the Ling family's ancestors were even more exciting than the neighborhood storybooks.
——Although his mother would scold him if he occasionally read storybooks, as she believed that boys should be manly and could not stand reading storybooks.
So when he was young, he did not read openly, but went to the bookstore secretly many times to read.
If he was discovered, he would be chased and beaten by his mother with a rolling pin.
When Ling Suye heard his mother telling him such a legendary story, he couldn't sleep anymore. His eyes shone brightly and he quickly sat up and asked, "What happened next? Mother, did this great-grandfather really become a demon?"
A-niang poked him between the eyebrows. "You've changed, don't be happy yet. Becoming a demon isn't good at all. Demons don't have the empathy of humans. They only know how to devour and obsess. Morality and justice are impossible for demons. When the elders of the family discovered this, they unanimously decided to imprison him in the woodshed and arrange for two disciples to watch outside the door to prevent him from escaping and causing harm to others."
Ling Suye was very surprised: "But, our ancestors were originally human, they wouldn't kill people, right?"
"Of course not. You know, after this ancestor transformed into a demon, the first people he devoured were the two disciples guarding him. One of them was his own nephew." Bai Yuan's tone was more soothing. "So, Ah Ye, do you know why your father was so angry today? That book wasn't meant for you to read. You're still young, so the most important thing is to cultivate well and become a formidable demon catcher in the future."
"Well, I will listen to my mother. Aye will become very powerful, protect my parents, and protect the people - enter the Du'e Division."
The last point is probably the lifelong dream of all young monster catchers.
But at that time, Ling Suye was still immersed in the story and did not notice that A Niang's face suddenly turned pale.
Ling Suye asked, "Mother, where did that ancestor go?"
Bai Yuan said, "He died. He was beheaded by the head of the Ling family himself. I heard he escaped at first, but the Ling family couldn't allow such a large monster to roam freely, especially one of their own. If word got out, the Ling family's reputation would be ruined. So, in the end, he was beheaded and his body was not allowed to be buried in the ancestral tomb."
What she didn't say was that when he was beheaded, the ancestor had already gotten rid of his demon form and was now in human form. He had completely regained his sanity and was crying. He said that he would take responsibility for his mistakes, but he wanted to pass down the technique of "making a pact with the demon" in his final moments. It would be best if some future generations could use this as inspiration to develop a method to not be affected by the demonic energy.
This ancestor was a real research brain, and he only had the research of new techniques in his mind.
But there is no need to tell these to the child. If he discovers any clues in the future, it will not be too late to tell him.
So Bai Yuan patted his son's head and told him to sleep peacefully. He should kneel down and apologize to his father early tomorrow morning, and the matter would be over.
·
This ordinary past event suddenly came to Ling Suye's mind. He looked down at the "contract" in his palm, wondering if he would be affected by the evil spirit like his ancestors, so that he would disregard humanity and destroy his compatriots at some point.
As if sensing Ling Suye's concerns, Ah Zhan hurriedly said, "I am a low-level Heavenly Rank Great Demon. This contract can only be forged by Heavenly Rank Great Demons. You have the power of life and death over me, and I will not affect you in the slightest. Those with evil intentions who use force to suppress our demon race and force us into a contract with them will only cause demons and humans to intermingle, ultimately competing for the right to use a body together, thus committing great evil."
This was the first time Ling Suye had heard these words.
However, this may also be related to the fact that Heavenly Rank Demons rarely appear in the human world. Therefore, there are very few records about Heavenly Rank Demons, and only simple descriptions such as "all living beings within a hundred miles are devastated."
Even in the ancient records of the Du'e Division, although there were heavenly-level monsters that appeared, they were all records of battles, and in the end, most of the time the two sides ended up in a draw and left.
Of course, Ling Suye thought, there was also a possibility, that is, he did not have the authority to see more records at that time.
Ling Suye said, "Okay, you go first, someone is coming."
"Master, Azhan is leaving."
As he spoke, his body gradually began to liquefy. In less than three breaths, it turned into a pool of clear water, which then seeped into the ground and disappeared.
Looking at the ground that had become dry again, Ling Suye had his first preliminary understanding of the mysterious abilities of the Heavenly Grade Demon.
In fact, if the demon domain had not been destroyed, Ah Zhan would have been so disheartened that he would not have been able to subdue Ah Zhan with his strength. Instead, he would most likely have been killed and eaten by Ah Zhan.
This was the first time Ling Suye saw a heavenly-level demon.
However, as A Zhan seeped into the ground, the sound did not stop. Instead, the panicked and terrified scream of Prince Tang was heard: "Please don't kill me, please don't kill me, please, please... I can only live in your obsession. If your obsession dissipates this time and you kill me, I will really die and I will never live again... Please don't kill me, I am willing to be your slave. When I return to the East China Sea, I will give you all the pearls..."
The only response he got was three simple words: "No need."
Then, a roar similar to that of a gunpowder explosion sounded underground.
This was followed by Prince Tang’s painful howling.
At the same time, waves tens of feet high were stirred up on the water surface outside the island in the middle of the lake. In the imperial palace covered by the demon domain, the surface of the koi pond in the imperial garden kept fluctuating, and even a tiny whirlpool appeared.
Then, the whirlpool grew bigger and bigger, and almost all the koi fish around swam over and jumped non-stop like pilgrims.
A young man crawled out and in the blink of an eye he imitated the appearance of a eunuch. The guards around him acted as if they didn't see him and let him go out the side door naturally.
·
When the explosion sounded, Ling Suye pulled Gu Xuanyou over, and the two fell back onto the bed, covered by the quilt.
...With the tense atmosphere gone, Ling Suye felt a little shy. He turned his face away awkwardly: "Gu Xuanyou, can I offend you again?"

He explained, "Zhou Zhi and other adults from the Du'e Division will be here later. In order to get us out of this, we can only..."
He felt that it would be very difficult for a man to submit to someone while he was fully awake.
So he said, "If that doesn't work, you can also pretend on me..."
The author has something to say:
Good night, babies. No counterattack.
