Chapter 26: The Free Heavenly Demon, the Dark Witch



Above the sky, in the sixth layer of the heaven beyond heaven, there is the Sixth Heaven Demon King who is the lord of all demons. He can enjoy the joyful karma of the other five great desire realms in the lower layers.

The devil lives in the devil's palace, and there are five hundred witches (the so-called witches are the devil's daughters) who have the magic power and status closest to the devil.

Of course, the demons themselves have no gender distinction, nor do they have the ability to marry or reproduce, so this witch is generally believed to be a split from the demon king...similar to bacteria.

It’s just that witches usually transform into beautiful human women, so they are called witches.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the witches who feed on desire are no exception. After the devil left the heaven forever, the intensity of the struggle between the witches reached its peak, and everyone wanted to compete for the position of the devil king of the sixth heaven.

Among the five hundred witches, there are three sisters with the strongest magical powers and the best relationship. The eldest sister is called "Li An", the second sister is called "Li Chou", and the youngest sister is called "Li Hen".

The witch's name was given by herself, and it essentially represents the witch's most predatory emotions.

The fear of death is the separation from darkness; the sorrow of separation is the reluctance of death; the hatred of separation is the resentment of death.

Since the creatures in the underworld feel the most fear when they die, the eldest sister Li An has the strongest magical power and is the leader of the three sisters.

However, no matter how powerful he was, he was not able to subdue the other 497 witches, otherwise he would have become the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven long ago.

One day, Li An was in the Demon Palace and suddenly felt something. He smiled and said to his two sisters:

"My magic skills are about to be perfected, but I am still one step away from complete perfection."

The two sisters were overjoyed when they heard this, and Li Chou rushed to ask:

"Then when will sister be able to complete her cultivation and become the master of this Demon Palace, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven?"

"You still need to persist." Li An replied.

"Then just find a soul with obsession and devour him." Li Hen said bluntly.

"If you want to do this, you need to consume at least six thousand souls." Li smiled and shook his head, "But I have an idea..."

"You came to the lower world as a human being and experienced obsession firsthand?" After hearing Li An's words, Li Chou said in astonishment, "Sister, how could you have such an idea... Oh, do you think that there are too many wars and too many fierce battles in this Demon Palace?"

"When our father was still alive, we five hundred sisters were as close as brothers." Li An sneered, "But now we are fighting for the position of Demon King, and we can't subdue each other. We can only rely on childish verbal battles to hurt each other, and the quarrels have made the Demon Palace full of smoke and miasma. It's really disgusting."

"Whether you can become a demon king depends on your actual magic power. I will go down to the mortal world to calm down for a while. You stay in heaven and watch over the other sisters for me. Don't let them fight."

"If a war could break out, it would have happened hundreds of thousands of years ago." Li Hen said disapprovingly, "How long will it take for Sister to come back?"

"No more than two hundred years at the latest." Li An replied, "We witches cannot condense golden elixirs. If we pretend to be mortals, our lifespan cannot exceed two hundred years. If it is longer, we can't pretend anymore."

"That's great." Li Hen clapped his hands and laughed, "It's only been two hundred years, so I won't miss my sister too much."

The three witches left the Demon Palace and exerted their immense magical powers. Finally, they managed to penetrate the sky and descend to the lower world.

This place is the southeast coast of Yangzhou. The witches flew towards Shenzhou, arguing about who they should play along the way.

"Since Sister wants to seal her memory and experience the life of a human being, why don't you dress up as a princess?" Lihen suggested enthusiastically, "Although royal princesses have luxurious clothes and delicious food, their marriages are often political and they can't decide for themselves. If they fall in love with someone before getting married, wouldn't they have this obsession?"

"Why do you have to fall in love with someone?" Li Chou disagreed, "Why not play the role of a cultivator? When you are unable to form an elixir and your life is coming to an end, your desire to survive is your strongest obsession."

The two sisters were chattering and arguing, and suddenly the elder sister Li An said:

“Such strong emotions.”

The witch was the most greedy of all desires, so the three of them quickly descended and fell into the water, where they saw the body of a pretty girl whose hands and feet were tied to a rock and she had drowned alive in the sea.

Just by looking at the corpse, which had not yet become swollen, one could tell that she had died not long ago, and therefore there was still an extremely strong sense of fear, reluctance and hatred lingering around the corpse.

"It's fate." Li An said in amazement, "I will play this person, what do you think?"

The two sisters looked at each other for a moment and said:

"Just let my sister decide."

Li An then used his magical powers and transformed himself into a ball of pitch-black mist, which penetrated into the corpse through the ears, nose and mouth.

Lichou pointed his finger, and the straw rope that bound the girl broke immediately.

The girl opened her eyes and quickly swam to the surface of the sea. She moved her wrists that were bruised by the ropes and reviewed the remaining memories of the corpse. She smiled and said:

"She turned out to be a fisherman's daughter, offered as a sacrifice to the Dragon King by ignorant fishermen, praying for the storm to stop."

"The identity of this fisherman's daughter is too ordinary. Why don't you become a princess?" Li Hen, still obsessed with her identity as a princess, persuaded her.

"Sister, please stop talking. This girl was born on a yin day in a yin year and a yin month. It's a great fate. There's no need to hesitate." Li An raised two fingers and pointed them at his forehead. He then used his magic power to seal his memory of being a demon. "This girl's surname is Jiang, and she has no name. From now on, I will call her 'Jiang Li'an'."

The memories of being a fisherman's daughter flooded into her blank mind. Her expression was dull for a moment, and soon became terrified and miserable. She only knew that she was tied hand and foot and sank to the bottom of the sea. She almost drowned in the depths. Fortunately, she finally broke free from the restraints and swam up.

But fishing is hard labor for these fishermen, and the straw ropes they tie are very resilient. How could they break easily and allow her to survive?

Jiang Li'an stopped thinking about the mystery and just looked at the boundless sea around him, unable to hold back tears again.

The two witches had quietly disappeared when Li An sealed his memory.

Seeing that her sister had already entered the play, Li Chou said:

"Floating on the ocean like this is not a solution."

"Sister, you stay here and watch over me. I will go and get a monk nearby to rescue me."

After saying this, she quickly disappeared until she attracted Elder Cai Moth.

I will not go into details about what happened to Jiang Li'an afterwards.

It is said that before the death of the witch Li An, she finally realized her feelings for Wei Dongliu. Her obsession was born, her magic power was perfected, and she escaped from her already dead body.

Two more black clouds rushed into the cave. They were Lichou and Lihen. They hugged their sister Li'an's arms and said with a happy smile:

"Sister is finally back! I congratulate you on your great achievement!"

Looking at the colorful moth fairy and the man in the black cloud, they were already dumbfounded at this time.
