"Putting aside other things, if Zhao Jiujin had just admitted his mistake that day, nothing would have happened," said Cao Jia'an.
"He doesn't admit defeat?" Zhao Wuliu asked.
"He denies it," Cao Jia'an said. "He called in a master. He thought with the master's support, he wouldn't be afraid of the girl anymore."
"The master failed to accomplish his goal." said Zhao Wuliu.
"Didn't I say before that masters are far inferior to that little girl? No matter how great a master is, he can't be better than that little girl. I'm putting this right here. Liangzhou will never be peaceful again. Do you know what that little girl is?"
"What is it?"
"Demon," Cao Jia'an said, "I've never seen such a demonic aura rising to the sky in my life. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't even imagine it. Wu Liu, if you were there that day, you would have been terrified."
"If you're not afraid, then I'm not afraid either," said Zhao Wuliu.
"I was scared," Cao Jia'an said. "You know me, I'm not easily afraid. Ever since I was born, I haven't known how to write the word 'fear'. But that day, I was scared. To exaggerate, I was terrified!"
"Is it that serious?" Zhao Wuliu couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"I can't even guess his realm. His Dharma Image and Nascent Soul are both low, and he's probably even higher than the Heroic Stage. I estimate he's at least at the Profound Tong Xuan stage!" Cao Jia'an took a sip of tea and sighed heavily, "Damn it! There are only a few people in Liangzhou who have reached that realm. We can't reach it in this lifetime. That girl looks like she's in her teens. How did she train?"
"Some powerful people have methods to rejuvenate," said Zhao Wuliu.
"That girl isn't her," Cao Jia'an said firmly. "I can tell she's really young, and she's arrogant, too arrogant."
"Hearing you say that, I really feel a little regretful. I should have been at the Fuqi Inn that day." Zhao Wuliu said, "It's worth it to be able to see Tongxuan once in my life, especially when he was in his teens."
“If you were actually there, you wouldn’t think that way,” Cao Jia’an said. “I almost died that day.”
"Even if you don't tell me, I know that Lao Wu and Dayu are both dead, but you are still alive. Why are you still alive?" Zhao Wuliu asked.
"Damn it, I'm lucky!" Cao Jia'an finished his tea in one gulp, then picked up the teapot and poured a full cup. "You don't know how cowardly I was just trying to stay alive that day."
"Did you kowtow?" Zhao Wuliu asked.
"She kowtowed." Cao Jia'an said bluntly, "She kowtowed until her head was swollen. She still can't survive. That little girl likes killing people. I can see that she is a complete demon cultivator. Her evil spirit is unstoppable!"
"Then Liangzhou will probably never be peaceful again." Zhao Wuliu said.
Throughout history, whenever a demon cultivator with extraordinary cultivation appeared, a bloody storm would be set off. This is an eternal truth.
"I plan to leave Liangzhou in a few days," Cao Jia'an said, "but I'd better tell you how I survived. Someone has pleaded for me."
"Who?" Zhao Wuliu said.
"The cultivator at the second level of Qi training who was with that little girl," Cao Jia'an said. "Luckily he was there that day. If he wasn't there, no one at the Fortune Inn would have survived. The little girl was already bloodthirsty. Then the man patted her on the shoulder and said, 'Little dog, that's enough. Don't kill too many people.'"
"The little girl listened to him?" Zhao Wuliu was a little curious.
"I was a little reluctant, but I listened anyway," Cao Jia'an said. "Their relationship is probably quite complicated. They seem very familiar, yet not that familiar at the same time."
"Logically speaking, if that girl is really that strong, that man should be her subordinate." Zhao Wuliu analyzed.
"That's the problem," Cao Jia'an sighed. "Based on my sixth sense, I always feel that they seem to be on the same level. Maybe the man is even a head taller."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Wuliu raised his eyebrows.
"I think there's an even more powerful demon who hasn't appeared yet." Cao Jia'an looked around and then said in a low voice, "Whether it's the man at the second level of Qi training or the girl with extraordinary cultivation, they may all be under the command of the same person."
Zhao Wuliu didn't believe it.
"Impossible! You mentioned earlier that the girl might have reached the level of Tongxuan. If there are others above her, what realm would they be at?" Zhao Wuliu said with a smile, "There's no way that kind of person would appear in Liangzhou."
Cao Jia'an curled his lips and said, "Wu Liu, haven't you heard of that legend? Liangzhou in ancient times was completely different from now."
"I really don't know." Zhao Wuliu took a sip of tea and said.
"Have you heard of it?" Cao Jia'an turned his head and asked Ma Xiaohe.
"Can I speak now?" Ma Xiaohe said.
"I'm asking you a question, can you speak?" Cao Jia'an rolled his eyes.
Ma Xiaohe's face didn't look good. If he hadn't been unable to defeat Cao Jia'an, he would have attacked him by now. He endured it and said in a low voice: "I have heard a little about the ancient legends of Liangzhou. Master may not pay much attention to these things, so he doesn't know."
"Then tell your master about the ancient events in Liangzhou," said Cao Jia'an.
Ma Xiaohe was also happy to talk, after all, he hadn't spoken for a long time.
"Master, many stories say that Liangzhou wasn't as big as it is now. There was a large area further north, and that was Liangzhou." Ma Xiaohe said, "In ancient times, Liangzhou was ranked at the top among the ninety-nine states. More importantly, there was a demonic realm further north."
"Demon Realm?" Zhao Wuliu narrowed his eyes, showing great interest.
"Well, it's said that the cultivators in the Demon Realm are born demons. They cultivate the devil through their cultivation. It seems that even their physiques are different from those of us cultivators." Ma Xiaohe said slowly and softly, "Those demon cultivators, strictly speaking, are originally demons, not the kind of demon cultivators we understand today."
Zhao Wuliu laughed and said, "This is quite unusual. I've lived for over thirty years and have never heard of it."
"Actually, many people haven't heard of it," Ma Xiaohe said. "I also used to like reading all kinds of miscellaneous books, so I know a little bit about it. But if you want to hear the details, you'll probably have to read Lao Cao."
As Ma Xiaohe spoke, he turned and looked at Cao Jia'an.
"Okay, then I'll continue what I was saying," Cao Jia'an said. "Liangzhou used to be more than ten times larger than it is now, but that wasn't all there was. As he just said, there's an even larger area further north. That's a demonic realm. The demons in that realm are born stronger than ordinary humans, but they have a problem: they have difficulty having offspring. I wonder if it's a curse from the ancient gods."
"Wouldn't that mean each generation would be less than the previous one?" Zhao Wuliu said with a smile.
"It's true that each generation is getting fewer and fewer. If they were more, the entire Kyushu Continent would probably be dominated by demons by now." Cao Jia'an also said with a smile, "But now, we basically can't see real demons anymore. The few demon cultivators that do appear are basically immortal cultivators like us, except that the techniques they practice are unorthodox!"
