The expert from the Rong family replied, "The True Demon Clan sent someone to say that each of the four major families must select a Holy Maiden to represent their family in serving the ancient Demon God. The Holy Maiden must be a direct descendant of each family, not only with excellent qualities but also with beautiful appearance; otherwise, it would be blasphemy against the Demon God."
Jiang Luofu's expression changed: "It sounds like the rhetoric of some cults."
"What is that demon god?" Zu'an frowned, feeling that this demon god was somewhat shady.
“The Demon God is not a thing…” The Rong family experts’ expressions changed slightly. “No, no, the Demon God is a transcendent being, a deity worshipped by all demons. Such blasphemy is unacceptable.”
"Gods?" Zu An looked at Yun Yuqing for confirmation.
Yun Yuqing frowned and said, "Our demon race does indeed have legends of demon gods, and they are indeed gods that all demons believe in. However, these legends are too ethereal and vague. There are no statues or images of demon gods, so they are more of a spiritual symbol. No one really believes that they exist."
"You really are a demon!" The Rong family experts looked at her with horror. "You can't say such things carelessly. If you blaspheme the demon god, your soul will never find peace after you die."
Upon hearing this, Zu'an couldn't help but laugh: "Don't worry, this isn't under the jurisdiction of that damned demon god."
This is his area of expertise.
According to these people, this demon god is probably similar to the sea god worshipped by the sea tribe. It is a totem-like legend. Even if there was such a god in the past, it must have been in ancient times. After a long period of time, all gods have perished.
“You are blasphemers…” The Rong family experts muttered incantations, uttering strange syllables that sounded like a prayer, begging their demon god for forgiveness.
"The demon god is ethereal and elusive, and the patriarchs of the four great families are not ordinary people either. You believe them just because they say so casually?" Yun Yuqing couldn't help but ask. As a demon, although she had been living in the Wu King's Mansion in the human race for a long time, she had paid close attention to the intelligence of her hometown. This was really unlike the way her elders acted.
“We also thought the Demon God had abandoned us, but now we know that the Demon God is in the world of the True Demon. It is only because our world is too remote and special that it has been unable to answer our prayers for ten thousand years,” the Rong family expert replied.
Yun Yuqing sneered, "If it really is a demon god, why would each family send out their beautiful young girls to serve him? It sounds more like the real demon is using the name of a demon god to find girls to warm his bed."
“No,” many experts from the Rong family shook their heads. “The Demon God has already demonstrated his divine power. To serve him is an immense honor.”
"Is what you mean by 'manifesting divine power' the same as what you said before about activating the power of the bloodline within your body?" Xie Daoyun couldn't help but ask.
“Indeed, if it weren’t for the power of the Demon God, how could anyone else have awakened the divine power hidden within us?” The Rong family experts spoke of this with longing in their eyes.
"Who did each family choose as their Holy Maiden?" Yun Yuqing was somewhat concerned about this question. Naturally, she and her sister were the most suitable candidates from the Yun family.
Strictly speaking, my sister's bloodline is not pure; perhaps only she is suitable.
Now that she has just returned, where will the Yun family find a suitable saintess?
“The Rong family and the Wu family both chose princesses from their respective families. They are the daughters of their family heads, and their appearance and qualifications have been recognized by everyone for many years. They are worthy of being called saintesses.” The experts of the Rong family puffed out their chests when they talked about their princesses, and they felt proud of it. “The most suitable one for the Soren family is naturally Princess Soren. However, the Soren family is unwilling to cooperate, so they are being besieged by the three of us.”
"Where is the Yun family?" Yun Yuqing became even more curious.
"Theoretically, the daughter of the former head of the Yun family should be the most qualified to serve as the Holy Maiden, but I heard that she has been missing for a long time and cannot be found for a while, so they have found another woman to serve as the Holy Maiden," the Rong family expert replied.
"You can just pick any woman to be a saintess. It seems you demon gods are quite easy to fool." Zuan couldn't help but chuckle.
"Originally, everyone thought the Yun family's actions were too frivolous, but later, some people saw the Yun family's Holy Maiden and praised her as truly deserving of the title." The Rong family's experts showed admiration on their faces. "Although we are from the Rong family, we have to admit that the Yun family's Holy Maiden is undoubtedly the best among the four families in terms of appearance, figure, aptitude, and cultivation."
"What is the name of the Yun family's Holy Maiden?" Yun Yuqing frowned. "How come I don't remember the Yun family having such an outstanding woman?"
The Rong family members shook their heads slightly: "We don't know. We've only heard some rumors and haven't seen her with our own eyes. However, some people questioned her identity, thinking that the Yun family had brought back a woman from outside. It caused quite a stir at the time, since our families all had to offer up the Holy Maiden, and no one wanted the Yun family to be so easily fooled. Later, it seems that the blood test confirmed that the woman was indeed of Yun family blood. It is said that she was a child born outside by a woman from the Yun family back then."
"I see." Yun Yuqing's heart stirred. She remembered that she seemed to have an aunt who had also run away from home. There were rumors that she had married a foreigner and had children. Therefore, she and her father were called the most unreliable siblings in the history of the Yun family. Could it be that the Holy Maiden is her aunt's daughter?
Zaun suddenly spoke up: "As far as I know, the Sauron family is not the strongest among the demons. Can one family really take on the combined forces of the three of you?"
“Of course we can’t deal with them,” the Rong family demons replied. “It’s just that defense is always easier than offense. The Soren family has been managing their territory for thousands of years, and their main base is now like a fortress. It won’t be easy to take it down in a short time. But after all, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, and they won’t be able to hold out for long.”
Zu An looked down at the Rong family compound, which was built against the mountain and connected like a series of fortresses. It would indeed be troublesome for a large army to attack it.
