Chapter 537: The Northern Demonic Realm
While Tao Zi was planning the route to return the token, the northern part of the Demon Realm was bustling with activity.
In the north, a group of demon cultivators in the out-of-body stage stood beside the Demon Palace Master. In addition, there were three demon cultivators in the Mahayana stage accompanying them. If others saw them, they would probably think that the demon cultivators were preparing to provoke a war.
Among these people, only one demon cultivator had a particularly strange face, so weird that it seemed as if his face was out of his control.
All the demon cultivators turned a blind eye to his weirdness.
A Mahayana demon cultivator held a compass in his hand, and a voice as low as a fly came out of his mouth. Demonic energy continuously flowed into the compass, and the needle slowly pointed to a direction of about thirty degrees north-west.
The demon cultivator snorted coldly and said, "You are not lying. The person who was born with the Demon Lord's destiny is indeed here."
Qiu Qianran glanced at him, too lazy to speak. Instead, another Mahayana cultivator spoke up: "How dare you! Watch your attitude when you speak."
The demon cultivator remained indifferent, even smiling a bit. He said, "If I hadn't been ambushed and severely injured, he wouldn't be the current Demon Lord. Besides, that person suddenly disappeared for so long, who knows who was responsible?"
Hearing this, Qiu Qianran laughed, glanced at the strange demon cultivator who remained silent, and then said, "If that person hadn't disappeared, I'm afraid I'd be dead now."
"You admitted it!" The Mahayana demon cultivator immediately turned to look at the strange demon cultivator and wanted to speak.
However, the demon cultivator raised his head, not caring about the matter at all. He simply said, "It is right to find the person as soon as possible. As for you, go back and be confined for a month as punishment for your disrespect to the Demon Lord."
Qiu Qianran sneered, ignoring this obviously perfunctory punishment, and walked directly to the northwest.
After conducting a comprehensive search, they naturally found a place where a small mountain village was built.
After breaking in, they saw a handsome young man standing inside. He looked at them blankly, and the aura on his body was so strong that it was frightening.
Without a compass, many demon cultivators realized the identity of this young man at the first moment. Many of them showed deep greed in their eyes, but because of Qiu Qianran's presence, they did not dare to take action directly.
The strange demon cultivator spoke up: "Palace Master Qiu, don't you want him? Why don't you make a move?"
Qiu Qianran glanced at him and said, "If you forcefully absorb the luck now, you will be struck by lightning. If you really promised me, you shouldn't let me do it now."
The Mahayana cultivator who was at odds with him sneered and said, "So that's what you were planning. No wonder you hid him instead of taking action right away. In that case, I won't be polite."
As he said that, he attacked directly. Qiu Qianran was not in a hurry and just stood there with a smile. The other two Mahayana demon cultivators beside him did not move either.
Dark clouds rolled in, and thunderbolts stronger than the last struck down.
The strange demon cultivator was far away. If he was closer, he would have found that the thunder was aimed at the handsome young man, not the demon cultivator who took action.
It’s a pity that it was far away, and even more unfortunately, those demon cultivators who discovered something was wrong were killed.
It arrived quickly only after the thunder had dissipated.
After arriving, they found that most of their people were dead, with only two or three people still alive, including the one in the Mahayana stage.
As for the demon cultivators on Qiu Qianran's side, not to mention those who died, there were even few who were injured.
Its distorted face became even more distorted.
The young man fell to the ground, Qiu Qianran stood beside him, and endless luck was flowing into him at an astonishing speed.
It looked at the severely injured Mahayana cultivator and said coldly, "Waste."
He looked at Qiu Qianran in embarrassment and hatred, and his gaze suddenly fixed. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the young man lying on the ground looked 30% like someone.
He quickly dismissed the thought. The man had been killed by him after a sneak attack, so how could he still be alive?
Another Mahayana cultivator who had not spoken yet laughed and said, "Look at what you said, sir. If you didn't know, you would think you were going to regret it."
The strange demon cultivator's face darkened, but he didn't continue speaking.
After Qiu Qianran finished absorbing all the energy, he looked dazed for a moment. The cultivation and luck that were forcibly blended together were tormenting him every moment.
Most importantly, he seemed to have accidentally "seen" a powerful but sleeping Venerable. Even if it was just for a moment, it was enough to frighten him.
Qiu Qianran forced himself to stay awake and burned the boy, who was still breathing, into ashes. The wind blew and the ashes scattered.
He then turned around, looked at the furious demon cultivator, and said with a smile, "Don't blame me, sir. I was only trying to protect myself."
The strange demon cultivator looked at him with a sinister face, but Qiu Qianran's attitude and words already showed his submission.
In the end, the strange demon cultivator simply asked in a calm voice, "After absorbing the luck, did you sense anything strange?"
Suddenly a person born with the destiny of the Demon Lord appears, and he is not even a baby. There is nothing strange about this, who would believe it?
Qiu Qianran said sincerely: "It's very comfortable, does this count?"
The strange demon cultivator waved his sleeves, turned around and disappeared on the spot.
The two Mahayana masters beside him stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, are you returning to the palace?"
"certainly."
The severely injured Mahayana cultivator suddenly stood up at this moment and said grimly, "Qiu Qianran, don't let me find evidence of you colluding with Xuan Yue and betraying our clan!"
Qiu Qianran burst into laughter and said, "How could I collude with Xuan Yue? Betray? That's even more impossible."
"Impossible? Judging from your actions, you are a selfish person who only cares about profit. If you can betray Xuan Yue for profit, you can naturally betray my clan as well."
Qiu Qianran looked at him and suddenly said word by word: "You are also a Xuanyue person. I betrayed Xuanyue, but you also betrayed me, didn't you?"
The man was furious and said, "I was raised by my clan, but unfortunately I was born into Xuan Yue's body! How can an outsider like you be compared to me?"
A Mahayana cultivator beside Qiu Qianran smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you're right. But you have to know that in the eyes of the alien races, those of us who come for profit are more reliable than those of you who come only for feelings."
"What nonsense!"
Qiu Qianran was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore and turned away.
The man looked at Qiu Qianran's departing back, slammed the ground several times in anger, and finally left without looking back.
Several pits were blasted into the ground, and the shadows of a few white bones could be vaguely seen in the pits. They looked like new bones, but also like rotten bones that had been dead for many years.
If we dig deeper, we might be able to find the bones of seven or eight people.
But even if he looked back and found out, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong. In this damn place called the Demon Realm, where are there no bones?
Mass graves are even more common, and no one cares.
