The deaths of Wang Wenfei and Shu He, thanks to reminders from Lu Xiaoyao and Zhen Hu, have alerted players from various sects who attended the apprenticeship ceremony at Jingyun Mountain, making them quite vigilant.
This is really not a good sign!
Players from cultivation families and smaller sects that were affiliated with these sects gradually learned of the news, and for a time, everyone was on edge.
The place they are in is no match for the defense of the major sects. Just think, the sects that relied on Bibo Yaoshan may be gone at any time. It's too scary!
Compared to the righteous cultivators who were suddenly filled with fear and unease, the few players who entered the game with demonic cultivator characters were experiencing mixed feelings.
First of all, the setting of demonic cultivators in this world seems to be relatively neutral. They haven't reached the point where evil cultivators and evil spirits are hated by everyone when they go out. However, they are indeed not good at contacting those righteous cultivators.
This resulted in a significant amount of information they received regarding the Zerg's whereabouts not being shared.
Compared to righteous cultivators, demonic cultivators have far more places to operate.
However, they couldn't act rashly based on what they had discovered. They were aware that the insectoid demons modified by the Zerg were causing trouble outside. Even if the demonic cultivators acted as they pleased, they weren't the kind who didn't care about their lives.
Lou Jia, a member of the Hehuan Palace of the Demonic Path, recently received a message from his palace master that he was going to the settlement of the demons.
He had originally planned to find an opportunity to go find Lu Gui, whom he had met some time ago.
"Why did you personally go to the Demon Realm this year, Palace Master?"
"Yes, the Demon Clan announced this year that Mei Shi will be going back, and she'll be taking her daughter with her. Even though she's stepped down and is no longer the Demon King, the Demon Clan won't forget her contributions. Her return will be a major event in the Demon Clan's settlement this year, and we demon cultivators, who are already benefiting from this, will naturally go."
The master of Hehuan Palace was a handsome man with an effeminate appearance, but unfortunately, he had a noticeable scar on his cheek.
The person mentioned by the other party is naturally listed in Lou Jia's character information.
That's the reason why demonic cultivators and demons were able to obtain neutral status and a foothold in this world—Mei Shi, the wife of the Grand Elder of Jingyun Mountain, a retired leader of the demon race.
It was they who single-handedly drove the demon race out of that barren and oppressive land, causing unrest throughout the continent. Only after signing peace treaties with these righteous sects did we achieve the current situation.
The thought that someone could become partners with a righteous cultivator who is halfway to immortality sounds surreal to anyone.
Lou Jia also marveled that only games could be designed like this.
In reality, wouldn't that mean the Zerg Queen and some human president would end up together?
It's terrifying to even think about!
Then, seeing the look of longing in the other person's eyes when they mentioned that woman named Mei Shi, Lou Jia immediately imagined a hundred thousand words of love and hate entanglement.
His character information naturally includes information about the Hehuan Palace. The Palace Master of the Hehuan Palace, Qingmian, was the personal disciple of the previous Palace Master. When he was young, he seemed to have done something foolish and was punished by being imprisoned for a long time. When he came out to take over the position of Palace Master, he happened to encounter the war between immortals and demons.
However, the Hehuan Palace actually joined forces with several other demonic sects to help the demons in the far north fight against them. Although they benefited from the result, everyone who listened to them said that this was a huge gamble.
Looking at their current reaction, Lou Jia thinks it must be because of love.
...
"You're only taking me out this year?"
As Mingmei listened to Mei Shi mention the far north, she remembered that her mother had indeed taken her there when she was young. It seemed that her mother had taken out something for her, saying it was a treasure of the demon race that could strengthen the body.
"Aren't you taking me with you?" Mei Jiu asked in shock. "Mother, how could you only take my sister out?!"
"You can't go there, your body isn't suited for it." Mei Jiu was born with immortal bones and simply couldn't withstand the environment of the far north filled with demonic energy; it was just that she couldn't bear it for the time being.
"I'll take you there when you're a little older and your body can filter demonic energy from the outside," Mei Shi comforted Mei Jiu. "Your older sister's body has never been as good as yours, Xiao Jiu. You want your older sister's body to get better, don't you?"
As she spoke, Mei Jiu glanced at Ming Mei, whose complexion had never been very good, but who looked somewhat translucent in the sunlight.
Even Mingmei herself doesn't quite remember how sick she was when she was a child. She only remembers that she often ate the good things her parents found for her.
She had always thought those were preparations for taking her away from this world, but it turns out her health was really not good?
"I'll go with you this time."
During dinner that evening, Mingyi brought up the idea of going to the far north with Meishi. However, Mingmei remembered that in her original memories, her father did not go, and to comfort Meijiu, he even took her to the demon realm for a few days.
"What's wrong?" Just as Mingmei was wondering if the game's plot had changed, even Meishi asked, "The information I found suggests that those evil spirits seem to be related to the demon race."
Demon race?
Mingmei was taken aback and immediately turned to look at her mother's reaction. Sure enough, Mei Shi immediately denied it: "Impossible, the demons have no reason to do that."
"So, I'm going to go with you to see what really happened. If they've been wronged, or if they've been misled and made a mistake, we can investigate it promptly."
Mingyi knew about Meishi's feelings for the Northern Demon Clan, which is why he suggested using the excuse of accompanying Meishi back to send her there, while secretly investigating her.
"Then Xiao Jiu..." Now that all three of them have gone to the far north, wouldn't only Mei Jiu be left?
Mei Jiu was confident about her arrangements, but Ming Yi only said that he would have to trouble the sect leader.
Mei Jiu:? ? ?
Qi Tianqing was quite happy about this; he really liked children (*￣︶￣)
...
"What? Evil spirits and demons... Are you serious or not?"
Because the parents didn't keep their words in check for their children, Mei Jiu learned everything Mei Shi and the others said perfectly, which made Lu Xiaoyao and the others shudder.
How come this involves the demon race again?
"However, Father also said that the demon race has been living peacefully in the far north for many years, and even though a small number of demons are active outside, they have never been known to have any bad reputation. What he found out this time might just be a smokescreen by the person behind it."
After Mei Jiu finished speaking, she looked at Lu Xiaoyao with her big, round eyes and asked, "Do you want to go and see too?"
"I want to..." Mei Jiu was about to laugh when she saw Lu Xiaoyao nod so readily, but then she heard her say, "Then I won't go back, and I certainly won't take you with me."
After saying that, Lu Xiaoyao reached out and lightly flicked Mei Jiu's forehead, saying, "Little brat, don't try to trick me. I don't have the ability to take you down the mountain behind the sect leader's back!"
