If they've guarded the news so tightly, how could it possibly leak out?
On the night after the Dao Asking Conference, Xu Jingwen told Ji Mofan that he had seen the servants around the Supreme Venerable Qu Jin go to the vicinity of Qianhe Tower.
What prompted him to come?
After arriving, he only wandered around the surrounding mortal villages, showing no intention of looking for anyone in the Thousand Crane Tower. It seemed that his purpose in coming here was not to possess Xiao Wangyan, the master of the Thousand Crane Tower.
What is Qu Jin plotting?
If the doubts are hard to resolve, then let's leave them for now. After returning to the Chaoming Palace, Ji Mo Fan gave the Arc Light Qilin's egg to Ge Gen.
The child was overjoyed, never expecting such a surprise. However, after hugging the egg and bouncing around a couple of times, he stood still with a serious expression and looked intently at Ji Mofan.
"Master, don't you have a contracted beast yet?" he asked.
Ji Mofan shook his head. "That's true, but this is something that can't be forced."
He could tell that Ge Gen didn't want to have better opportunities than his master; the child still wanted to give the best to Ji Mo Fan.
But for cultivators with such talent, finding a suitable weapon or contracted beast depends entirely on fate.
Otherwise, Ji Mofan wouldn't be so fixated on a lightning-attribute monster that was still an egg, because it would be too difficult to find a similar opportunity again after this one.
As for himself, although he had explored many secret realms suitable for ice attributes, he had never encountered a contracted beast that suited his taste.
It's not impossible to just pick one and sign a contract, but it would be awkward if you met a suitable one later.
A cultivator's spiritual strength is generally only sufficient to form an oath with one contracted beast. Moreover, whether the contracted beast dies or the contract is unilaterally terminated, it will cause some damage to the cultivator.
Therefore, in the early stages of this Dao Asking Tournament, you could still see cultivators bringing their demonic beasts to fight on the stage, but after entering the Famous Scholars Ranking, there were very few of them, and none of the top eight contestants brought their contracted beasts.
Since there are no contracted beasts capable of complementing their talents, everyone's mindset is to prefer quality over quantity.
“I do have an idea,” Xiao Wangyan said, stroking his chin.
Ge Gen did not attend the Dao Asking Conference, and this was the first time he had seen Ji Mo Fan standing with the Demon Lord. However, even though he recognized Xiao Wang Yan's identity, he did not show any unusual attitude.
The answer is that whatever Master does is normal. Even if you tell him later, "Your Master has become the Demon Lord," this kid would accept it without hesitation.
"Tell me about it?" Ji Mofan chimed in, eager to hear what was going on.
"How about you just form a contract with Xihe?" Xiao Wang's words were shocking. "Although he is a half-demon, he still has half-demon blood. It's possible to form a contract with him."
"Moreover, the divine beast Bai Ze is quite powerful. Although I don't want to admit that the old man's stuff is good, it's really not a bad deal for you."
Ji Mo Fan blinked at Xiao Wang Yan.
"Are you even speaking human language?" he asked sincerely. "I can understand each word individually, but I can't understand it when they're put together."
It's true that Xihe has half demon blood, but she's not some ordinary demon beast that just happened to be passing by; she's a demon who already has the ability to transform.
Ji Mofan can be considered knowledgeable about both ancient and modern times, but throughout history, there have been very few cultivators who have been able to sign a contract with the demon race.
On the one hand, demons are usually stronger than beasts, making it difficult to form contracts with them through normal procedures;
On the other hand, the demons who have already taken human form have a stronger sense of self and cannot fully cooperate with the cultivators' actions in battle.
In the eyes of cultivators, demonic beasts are nominally partners, but in practice, they are about the same level as weapons. No one wants to use a weapon that is difficult to control.
Xihe's problem isn't just that he's a demon; more importantly, his other half is a human through and through.
Making a pact with the demon race is already unacceptable, let alone mixing human blood with it.
"Even disregarding Xihe's bloodline, his attributes don't align with mine." After a few thought-provoking moments, Ji Mofan finally managed to consider Xiao Wangyan's strange suggestion with normal thinking.
"Bai Ze's attribute is earth, which is very different from mine, so it is not the best choice for a contracted beast at all."
"Moreover, you've led him astray, and he's cultivating the demonic path instead of the demonic path. How can I, a righteous cultivator, form a contract with Xihe, who exudes demonic energy?"
“But by contracting him, you can help me vent my anger,” Xiao Wangyan said. “It’s all because that old man didn’t take good care of my little puppet.”
Ji Mo Fan shut up.
That's undeniable, absolutely undeniable.
Although he is doing quite well in this life, he was truly killed by Qi Fengyu in his previous life.
Although Qi Yuan was in seclusion, judging from his interactions with himself in this life, he should know more or less about his experiences in the Yun Cang Sword Sect.
Qi Yuan didn't know whether it was because he was also busy or for some other reason, but he couldn't control how Ji Mofan ended up.
Moreover, according to Xiao Wangyan, Ji Mofan was able to be brought from the Demon Realm to the Immortal Cultivation Realm in the first place thanks to Qi Yuan's help.
If that's the case, why not just bring him back to the Yun Cang Sword Sect directly? Instead, why take a roundabout way and let Shen Yun pick him up as a beggar and bring him back to the sect?
A far-fetched explanation isn't impossible; if something's happened to someone close to the Demon Lord, it's hard to say there aren't spies in the Immortal Realm. Giving Ji Mo Fan the identity of a beggar is certainly less noticeable than keeping it completely unknown.
From this perspective, Xiao Wangyan's demand for Jimo Fan to sign a contract with Xihe was indeed motivated by a desire to vent his anger.
If it's inconvenient to directly retaliate against Qi Yuan, then start by enslaving his child.
"Or you could choose the Black Bird, that would be fine too." Seeing Ji Mofan fall silent, Xiao Wangyan gave him another suggestion, "Although the Black Bird is still a cub, and although its attribute is water."
"But it does become quite strong when it grows up."
This assessment is simple and blunt; for the Demon Lord to give such a evaluation is already quite extraordinary.
Ji Mofan had seen the large number of strangely shaped magical beasts that he kept in the Demon Palace. Although he had never actually fought them, he could still sense the powerful energy emanating from them.
Aside from being a little ugly, you could say he has all the advantages.
