The words that came out of Nalan Jingyue's mouth made the Imperial Master stunned on the spot, and even the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.
Su Yao and the other two did not say anything. They knew that this matter involved too many things. Even though they had guessed a little bit of the truth, they were still very shocked, let alone the National Master.
After a long while, the Imperial Master finally came to his senses and sighed softly, "It seems that the ancestor's previous speculations were all true."
Su Yao quickly asked: "what do you mean by this?"
The Imperial Preceptor spoke slowly, "The story goes back to the battle between immortals and demons thousands of years ago. Suddenly, a group of alien monsters appeared in the immortal world, but no one knew where they came from. The demons were extremely vigilant and were about to unite with the other three tribes to discuss how to deal with it. But not long after, a call for help arrived from the immortal city closest to the demons, saying that the city had been captured by alien monsters. The demon king took this matter very seriously at the time. Although the immortals, demons, dragons, and humans each refrained from interfering, the demon king still sent people to the immortal city to help defend it."
At this point, the national teacher suddenly fell silent. Su Yao couldn't help but continue to ask: "What happened next?"
The Imperial Master seemed to be lost in memories, and slowly told what he knew: "Afterwards, when the army sent by the Demon King arrived at the Immortal Clan city, they found that the city was littered with corpses, and there was no one left alive. Not only that, they also did not find any trace of alien monsters in the city, so the Demon Clan army had to withdraw to the Demon Clan, but it didn't work out. Then the Immortal Clan spread a rumor that the Demon Clan had joined forces with alien monsters to destroy the Immortal Clan city. It was then that the ancestor entered the Demon Clan to investigate, and the ancestor saw that "The Demon King at that time, and found out that the matter was not the work of the Demons. At that time, the ancestor had already suspected that the Demons were framed. When he was about to go to the Immortal Clan to discuss the matter with the Demon King at that time, the Immortal Clan had already sealed the Demons away. Thousands of years ago, although the Demons and Immortals rarely interacted because of the incompatibility of demonic energy and spiritual energy, many Immortals still chose to live with the Demons. Haven't you noticed that many Demons look no different from Immortals? Only the demons of the purest bloodline have a slightly different appearance."
Su Yao thought thoughtfully: "There is one more thing. Didn't you suddenly become the national teacher in recent years? If you know so much, why didn't you come out earlier and tell me about the immortal formation?"
"Ever since the demons were sealed by the immortals, the demons at that time would definitely vent their anger on the ancestor. Although for the demons, being sealed or not would not affect their lives, being sealed meant that they could not ascend, so the ancestor at that time had to hide. During this period, the ancestor also found a demon woman to give birth to a son, and told his child everything he knew. It was passed down from generation to generation until it finally came to my generation. I was unwilling to be trapped in the demon clan for the rest of my life. It happened that I had some attainments in formations, so I went to this Demon Palace and told the current Demon King that I could find a way to break the formation. The demons had long had enough of being trapped, and in order to be able to break the formation and ascend, they actually named me the National Master and put all matters related to the formation in my hands. It is said that I discovered the formation in this Demon Palace by accident." At this point, the National Master couldn't help but sigh.
Nalan Jingyue pondered for a moment before continuing to ask, "Did you know that the son of the Demon King went to the Immortal Clan and captured many Immortal Clan monks?"
The Imperial Master sighed again, "I know about this because I was the one who facilitated it. Since we have to start with the immortals outside to break the formation, I thought that the immortals outside would know more about formations. But I didn't expect that after capturing so many immortals, not a single one knew how to do it."
Su Yao's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Where are those people now?"
After all, the Imperial Master is quite old, so how could he not notice the coldness in Su Yao's tone?
So he quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand me, those people are still alive and well. They were inexplicably captured and brought to the demon clan, so they must be somewhat dissatisfied. That's why they are now imprisoned in a side hall of the Demon Palace, and there are special people guarding them."
Hearing the National Master say that those cultivators were still alive, Su Yao's expression couldn't help but ease a little. However, the National Master's dissatisfaction was already expressed in a tactful way. After all, if it were her, she would also cause trouble if she was caught inexplicably.
Nalan Jingyue continued to ask: "What is the current attitude of the demons towards this matter?"
"As you can see, most of the demons nowadays are unaware of this matter, and the only ones who really know about being sealed are the demon royal family. After thousands of years, they no longer want to dwell on right or wrong, and only want to quickly break the formation, because the Demon King has reached the Tribulation Realm. If the formation cannot be broken, it means that his life will come to an end." The National Master said quietly.
"Then do you think that if we tell the Demon King about this, he will believe us?" As soon as the words fell, not only the National Master, but also Su Yao and the other two looked at Nalan Jingyue in surprise.
"You want to tell the Demon King about this?" asked the Imperial Master in surprise.
"That's right. Now the entire lower fairyland is unable to ascend, and this matter is related to a person from the upper realm who suddenly appeared that year. No matter what his purpose is, he has successfully calculated our fairy clan, demon clan, and dragon clan. Ordinary humans don't have the power to practice, so that person naturally doesn't take it seriously. But now we have regained the method to open the door to the fairyland. The situation in the upper fairyland is unclear. Our three major clans must unite to have a chance to deal with the affairs of the upper realm." Nalan Jingyue analyzed calmly.
"Are you so sure that our three major clans were plotted against by that person from the upper realm?" The national teacher still had some doubts.
"It was just a guess before, but after hearing what you said, putting all of this together, it can be basically confirmed." Nalan Jingyue said affirmatively.
"This matter is of great importance. If your speculation comes true, I think the Demon King will believe it. After all, he knows the news that has been passed down from that year, and what happened back then has always been suspicious."
Su Yao couldn't help but add: "Master Guoshi, I'm sorry to bother you with this matter. No matter what the result is, we want to solve this matter."
"I will tell the Demon King about this matter tomorrow. It is already very late tonight. If the Demon King believes it tomorrow, I will bring him here to discuss this matter with you." The National Master sighed softly.
