Ji Mo Fan was bewildered by Wu Qi's sudden laughter.
There are only three people in this room now, but two of them are playing charades, leaving him isolated.
“More than a thousand years ago, the Demon Lord who ruled our Demon Realm was named Huimiwu,” Wu Qi said. “However, after the current Lord ascended the throne, he gradually withered away and disappeared.”
This time, Ji Mo Fan understood what he hadn't finished saying.
Why did they wither away? Judging from his words, it wasn't that Xiao Wangyan deliberately provoked them to exterminate them, but rather that the Hui clan was resentful after their old master was killed by Xiao Wangyan, and came to provoke him again, which led to their clan being wiped out one after another.
Xiao Wangyan's refusal to seal the Demon Queen, develop his own clan, or even accept proper disciples is probably due to these reasons.
The purpose of this man who claims to be surnamed Hui hiding in the shadows and causing so much trouble is now quite obvious.
He's just seeking revenge against the former Demon Lord.
A thousand years have passed, but the flame in the hearts of the Hui clan has not been extinguished.
The person in front of us was disguised by a mask and couldn't be seen clearly before, but now the strength of this person is revealed; he is only at the Golden Core stage.
With such cultivation, his lifespan couldn't possibly allow him to maintain it for a thousand years. Therefore, this person had never actually seen the original Hui Miwu; he was merely a descendant of the Hui clan who hadn't been completely wiped out by Xiao Wangyan.
That's quite an obsession.
Or perhaps the person behind him who instigated him to have such thoughts was very cunning.
Otherwise, the Hui clan has been peaceful for a thousand years, so why would they suddenly reappear a thousand years later?
The chances of no one doing anything malicious are extremely low.
Ji Mofan rolled his eyes, raised his hand and separated a wisp of spiritual energy, stirring the seemingly ordinary soup in front of him.
This person surnamed Hui really put in a lot of effort for a bowl of soup.
In the Demon Realm, there is no custom of fasting. Wu Qi usually eats something to stay awake when he stays up all night.
But the soup in front of me is clearly made according to the tastes of the cultivation world.
The purpose was to make Jimo Fan drink the soup without arousing suspicion.
Using icy spiritual energy, a tiny black worm, no bigger than a sesame seed, was lifted out of the soup.
The soup already had a lot of black sesame seeds sprinkled in it, so if you weren't paying attention, you might actually end up drinking it.
"What is this?" Ji Mofan flicked his index finger in the air, causing the small insect to float in front of the person.
Although the tiny worms, no bigger than sesame seeds, had been soaking in the soup, insects refined into Gu worms are known for their tenacious vitality, and they were still kicking their legs energetically in Ji Mofan's hands.
The middle-aged man showed no reaction to Ji Mofan's threats. The insect was almost touching the tip of his nose, but he didn't even blink.
Ji Mofan thought for a moment and pointed with his other finger to the bowl of soup in front of Wu Qi.
Ice Spirit Power also reached over to stir things up, and sure enough, it found another tiny black sesame worm that looked exactly the same.
Only after he shoved both Gu worms in front of the middle-aged man did the latter's expression finally change slightly.
“If you don’t talk, I’ll stuff both of these Gu worms into your mouth,” Ji Mofan said.
The short legs of the black sesame worm almost touched his lips, and the sensation that made his bones tremble gradually became clear. The middle-aged man pursed his lips and resisted stubbornly for a few seconds, but finally gave up when Wu Qi forcibly pried open his mouth with spiritual power and demonic energy.
“It’s a red thread curse,” he said.
Ji Mo Fan was stunned for a moment.
Wu Qi reacted even more strongly, his demonic energy almost getting out of control and tearing the middle-aged man's mouth off.
The Red Thread Gu is similar to the Love Gu, but the difference is that the Love Gu makes another person devoted to the one who cast the Gu, while the Red Thread Gu can forcibly bind two completely unrelated people.
Once afflicted by the curse, the two people will be unconsciously drawn to each other. From feeling anxious and restless when they can't see each other every day, to eventually needing to be together all the time, otherwise they will feel a sensation like being gnawed by ants.
If they were swallowed together, the effect would be even simpler and more brutal: they would skip the development process and start being eaten by ants.
This thing... how should I put it? It's not exactly vicious, but it's definitely disgusting.
After all, in the eyes of those who are unaware of the truth, even if the coronation ceremony was not completely completed, Ji Mo Fan had already been branded by the Demon Lord.
There are people who discuss it behind people's backs, but no one who secretly cares about it, or at least no one who dares to do it openly.
The fact that the man surnamed Hui is causing this trouble can only be attributed to his anger at what Ji Mo Fan and Wu Qi did, which led him to impulsively try to cause them some trouble.
After all, this border town is close to the southern frontier. Even if they don't know any Gu magic, they would at least associate it with Gu magic when they realize something is wrong.
Finding someone skilled in Gu magic to break the curse was not a difficult task for Wu Qi, who was a demon general.
However, the man surnamed Hui probably didn't expect that his disguise would be so easily removed, and neither Ji Mofan nor Wu Qi had consumed the red thread gu he had concocted.
He tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead, and ended up getting himself into trouble.
This was a really stupid thing to do.
"Who is giving you advice behind the scenes?" Ji Mofan asked.
The guy surnamed Hui immediately shut his mouth and fell silent again.
Even when Ji Mofan threatened him with a pair of red thread worms again, he didn't utter a word, even though the two worms had already crawled onto the tip of his tongue.
Disappointment flashed in Ji Mofan's eyes. With a flick of his finger, he crushed the two tiny insects.
The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with intense shock for a moment, and when he looked at him again, it was filled with hatred.
"Don't be in a hurry to hate me." Ji Mo Fan stood up.
