Chapter 336: The Demonic Realm is a Tangled Conflict
Yinghuan glanced at the tall human man beside her all the way, feeling quite resentful in her heart.
The man had thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he was not very good-looking, he was tall and straight, and full of heroic spirit, which made Yinghuan's heart flutter for a while - this was the kind of man she liked most. After playing with him, she would eat his soul, which was so delicious.
But Lingxiang, that damned girl, said that this person was hers and asked Yinghuan to take good care of him! When Yinghuan thought of this, she was furious.
Two years ago, Lingxiang brought back a little demon child from outside, saying that he was a new disciple.
But Yinghuan didn't know what Lingxiang saw in him. No matter how she looked at him, he was just a demon of low aptitude, without even the demon body that an ordinary demon should have.
Fortunately, Lingxiang didn't ask Yuhuan to worry too much, saying she would just take care of her daily life. Yuhuan was too lazy to skip out on any chores—just serving Lingxiang was enough to exhaust her.
When it comes to errands, Yinghuan is even more furious.
Today Lingxiang suddenly had an idea and said she wanted to go to the market to buy some things. But when she got to the market, she went to the teahouse to drink tea. She was only given a note and sent to buy it.
The note clearly contained some children's toys, yet she, a general from the demonic realm, was actually asked to buy them! This was outrageous!
However, several of the strange medicinal ingredients took some effort on her part, and she had to go to several pharmacies to buy them. She even had to go to the Mushi River herself to collect the "Mushi River Beyond." The Mushi River is a river in the underworld, originating from Jinji Mountain, stretching for two thousand miles, and finally merging into the Wangchuan River.
At the source of the Insect River, dark plants flourish, but there are also ghost insects everywhere, making it extremely dangerous.
Ghost insects are a general term for insects in the underworld. They feed on the air of the underworld and live parasitically in the darkness.
Among them is a kind of ghost insect named Qingyou. It looks like a maggot, cries like a baby, is the size of a child, has three tentacles, and loves to eat living souls.
The living soul is the soul of a living person.
Every time when the gates of hell open wide during the Ghost Festival, there are many living people who will mistakenly enter the ghost realm. If they are unlucky and have no one to rescue them, and are not discovered by the ghost catcher, they will get lost in the underworld, and some of them will become Qingyou's food.
Of course, these so-called dangers are not worth mentioning to Xiulan.
Yinghuan was born into the demon clan, and her demon body was a Scorpio woman. Most of these snakes, insects, rats and ants were afraid of her and would hide away before she could get close to them.
Therefore, picking medicinal herbs was not a difficult task for Xiulan, but the herbs on the other side of the Insect River were extremely rare, so it took a lot of effort to find them.
I don’t know what that damn girl wants to do with this weird thing. She is leisurely drinking tea in the city, making me run around!
Yinghuan glared at Lingxiang viciously, but Lingxiang looked worried. Yinghuan became suspicious, but Bo Luohui was beside her, so she couldn't investigate further and had to give up.
This damn girl is always trying to make trouble for me. It's really better to keep out of trouble. If I can avoid provoking her, I'd better not provoke her. Let her go. It would be better if she died!
Yinghuan has also been scared by Lingxiang over the years. She is afraid that if she sees Lingxiang's eyes rolling, she will be in trouble.
The reason why Lingxiang was absent-minded was that she was thinking about what happened in the teahouse just now.
The reason why Lingxiang came to the market was because she accepted Wuminjun's invitation, but Wuminjun hinted in advance that this meeting should not be made public. However, Lingxiang was worried about leaving Yinghuan idle, so she deliberately found those things to make things difficult for her.
There were so many things that shocked Lingxiang today. Just take Wu Minjun's face for example, it was enough for her to recover for a while.
This was the first time Lingxiang had seen such a face...
No! To be more precise, it was the head that was still in place despite being so severely injured.
The face that should have been complete was split into two halves from the top of the skull to the neck. In the gap, there were faintly visible silk threads connecting it.
That is...
It’s spiritual silk!
How could the demons have spiritual silk?
Fortunately, Wu Minjun did not make Lingxiang wait any longer and told her the whole story.
Wu Minjun originally had the surname Zi, but after the turmoil among the demons many years ago, his surname was taken away from him.
The surname Zi is not common, and it is not an ordinary surname. It was given by Emperor Shun and later became the surname of King Tang.
Upon hearing this, Lingxiang, combined with the scrolls she had read in the Demon Realm over the years, guessed Wu Minjun's identity, and what Wu Minjun said next indeed confirmed her guess.
The laws of order in the demon world were inherited from the first generation of the Demon Lord, which was understandable. However, the previous Demon Lord went even further. He not only required the people to follow the demon path, but also required each household to offer a soul every month for him to absorb and enjoy.
This can greatly disrupt the balance of the six realms of reincarnation.
We will not go into details about how the Demon Lord of Creation founded the demon clan, but for thousands of years, the demon world has been parasitic on the underworld, keeping a low profile. Over time, it has maintained a delicate balance with the other three realms. However, if the underworld and the heavens find out about this, the demon world will inevitably suffer a punishment.
Moreover, the previous Demon Lord had stipulated that if each household could not make an offering every month, one person would be offered from the family for the demon to inhale.
Although they were all from the demon world, not all of them were good at fighting and brave, and not all of them were brutal and cruel, so many demons died under these regulations at that time.
During the reign of the former Demon Lord, the number of demons decreased drastically, and the prosperity that had been hard-won was beginning to decline wherever they looked.
At that time, there was a man, whom the world called Nanshan Jun. He was the nephew of the previous Demon Lord and his name was Ci Yan.
Nanshan Jun could not bear to see the demon world suffer so much, and fearing that it would be in turmoil in the future, he joined forces with some generals and ministers to launch a mutiny, killed the previous demon king, and seized the demon world's court.
After a great war, Nanshan Jun, who had the bloodline of the Demon Lord of Creation, was naturally pushed onto the throne. However, at that time, there were still many people who criticized Nanshan Jun for not getting the position of Demon Lord in a legitimate way.
After all, the previous Demon Lord had a descendant, who is the current Demon Lord - Zi Boyan.
Zi Boyan was still young at that time and had never participated in court disputes or built up any power, but as the only son of the previous Demon Lord, he was a legitimate heir.
Moreover, although many generals and ministers at that time spoke orthodox words, their secret thoughts were to control the young prince, so that they could use the emperor to control the princes in the future and become the one who controlled the demon world in secret.
After all, if we really go by the history of demons, who isn’t a descendant of the Demon Lord who created the world?
Nanshan Jun initially did not think of taking action against his cousin, but the voices of opposition from the court continued to rise. In order to stabilize the demon world, he had no choice but to issue a secret order to assassinate Zi Boyan.
At that time, Taifu Dingyuanhou received the news and could not bear to see Zi Boyan become an outcast in the court, so he quietly released him from the city.
Although Bo Yan escaped, the generals and ministers were unwilling to miss this opportunity and sent their own forces to track down the prince.
The evil-minded generals and ministers continued to make moves, and Nanshan Jun became increasingly uneasy. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, he secretly sent several teams of troops to hunt down and kill Zi Boyan.
Among them was Lord Wu Min.
"So when Demon Lord Boyan gained power, he punished you with this?"
Lingxiang frowned, but felt something was wrong.
As Lord Wumin said, the two should be enemies. Given the character of Demon Lord Boyan, how could he be allowed to live?
Lingxiang would never believe that the Demon Lord was a kind-hearted person.
Wu Minjun shook his head and sighed, "I did catch him, but I let him go."
"You let him go!?"
Could it be that this injury was caused by Nanshan Jun?
Wu Minjun guessed what she was thinking, but he shook his head.
"Your words are my father, and he has not blamed me."
What? !
When Lingxiang heard this, she was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out.
this……
This is really...
What a mess!
