The Yun family patriarch raised his chin: "Now that I'm in your hands, you can do whatever you want with me. Why would I answer your questions just to save my life!"
At this moment, the head of the Wu family said with a forced smile, "Your Majesty, the True Demon Envoy did not come with us."
The Rong family patriarch added with a fawning expression, "Yes, the True Demon Envoy is staying in the Yun family's ancestral land, and we don't know what he's up to. The Yun family has been keeping it a secret and won't tell us."
The Yun family patriarch: "???"
You fucking bastards!
Can you please stop being so shameless!
This is really embarrassing for me!
He originally planned to say a few tough words, and then have his niece Yun Yuqing put in a good word for him, so he could back down gracefully. After all, they were all members of the Yun family, and even if the Regent didn't care about the monks, he would at least consider the Buddha.
But now that the Rong family head and the Wu family head have spoken first, what is he supposed to do?
The key point is that this completely renders him useless.
Thinking about this, he finally started to panic.
"Oh?" Zuan glanced at the two clan heads. "Did the True Demon Envoy enlighten and activate your bloodlines, giving you abilities similar to those just now?"
The Azure Dragon Dharma Form that the Yun family head just used was actually quite powerful, but the "Northern Emperor's Demon Subduing Talisman" that Xie Daoyun obtained was simply too heaven-defying.
Furthermore, the Azure Dragon Dharma Image looked familiar to him. It seemed that Bai Jingteng had also summoned an Azure Dragon to assist in the battle, only her spell was much more powerful.
The heads of the Wu and Rong families instinctively wanted to say no, but noticing the Yun family head's expression, ready to expose them at any moment, they had no choice but to honestly answer, "The True Demon Envoy did indeed bestow such an ability upon us, but we have never used it."
“Indeed, I’ve always felt that this ability is a bit strange. In our family’s thousands of years of heritage, we’ve never heard of a similar method. All our cultivation has come from diligent study and hard work. Yet now, others can make rapid progress in strength with just a little bit of skill. We’re always worried that this might be similar to some methods that burn blood essence and lifespan, and that we’ll have to pay an unknown price. That’s why we haven’t used it yet.”
Hearing their words, Soren Shi almost rolled her eyes; these two hadn't said that before.
You know, when she risked her life to sneak out of the city and find them, she originally thought she could appeal to their emotions and reason with them. They were smart enough to know the principle of mutual dependence. Who knew that after hearing her purpose, the two of them happily agreed on the surface, but then sold her off without hesitation.
Back then, he was incredibly respectful and loyal to that so-called True Demon Messenger and Demon God.
Of course, she wouldn't deliberately expose the two of them just for this reason, pushing them to the brink of desperation. Although Brother Zu wasn't afraid of them, trouble was inevitable.
However, the Yun family patriarch had no such concerns and immediately launched into a tirade: "You two opportunists! How grateful you were when the True Demon Envoy enlightened you? And now you dare to say such things! The Demon God and the True Demon Envoy will definitely not let you off the hook, and your souls will not be able to transcend!"
Upon hearing the curses, the two family heads' expressions changed slightly, clearly showing that they were also somewhat afraid of that situation.
"Stop worrying about others not achieving transcendence, worry about yourself instead." Zuan glanced at him and continued, "What exactly is the situation with that True Demon Messenger? Describe it in detail."
While the Yun family patriarch hesitated, the other two patriarchs beside him had already rushed to explain: "That True Demon Envoy suddenly appeared in the Demon Realm a few months ago. He was a young man who looked like a handsome young gentleman."
"Of course, he's just a little handsome; compared to the Regent's looks, he's not even worthy of carrying his shoes."
Zuan: "..."
Get to the point!
"Yes, yes, yes," the Rong family head replied while recalling, "When he first arrived, he looked like a pretty boy, and no one took him seriously. However, after he enlightened several ordinary demons and made their strength approach that of the top elders of the major families, our families could no longer sit still."
They treated him with the utmost respect, but since he was on the Yun family's territory at the time, the Yun family had the advantage of being close to him.
The head of the Wu family immediately retorted, "What do you mean by 'being near the water tower and getting the moon first'? It's clearly the Yun family who suffered a great misfortune!"
“Not bad, not bad. Now that I think about it, this is a blessing for our other families.” The Rong family head immediately changed his tune.
The Yun family patriarch: "..."
"Later, under the Yun family's influence, everyone accepted the concept of him as the True Demon Messenger, acting in place of the Demon God in our world. We were blinded by greed before, actually believing his words, thinking that we could go to his True Demon World, receive the true inheritance of the Demon God, and achieve complete transcendence of life," the Wu family head continued.
"I heard he asked you for a lot of cultivation resources?" Zu An smiled. "If he were really that powerful, why would he need your cultivation resources?"
"At first, I also thought he was a fraud, but it's true that he can enlighten the power in the demon bloodline. Moreover, according to him, the amount of resources given represents the firmness of one's faith in the demon god. We figured that although cultivation resources are very precious, our various families have accumulated over thousands of years and we can still afford them, so we decided to give them a try." The Rong family head replied, "Later, he reciprocated by enlightening many people in our respective families, and everyone was happy. After that, we gave him more gifts."
"It's one thing for them to want some cultivation resources, but what they want in other areas is rather strange," the Wu family patriarch suddenly said.
"What is it?" Even Yun Yuqing became curious.
