Chapter 137 First Hearing of the Demon of Desire
Lan Boting looked puzzled, but still put down his magic sword and asked doubtfully, "Senior Sister Moonlight, this person has an eerie aura, we can't trust him!"
“I said, he still has a use.”
The scene fell silent. Facing the puzzled looks from the many Qi Refining disciples who had rushed over, Changxi didn't explain much and just glanced at Wang Yu.
"Come with me."
Wang Yu looked around and saw no way to break out. His heart sank. He had entered a wolf's den.
He couldn't help but regret choosing to go into seclusion in the Black Mountain Demon Land.
Next time... next time I'll definitely find a place that's hated by people and dogs, a place unsuitable for human activity, to go into seclusion.
The cultivation world is truly dangerous. I thought Foundation Establishment was the beginning of my rise to power, but I never expected that I would be knocked back by reality before I even stepped out of the gate of cultivation.
After following Changxi away from the crowd's encirclement, Wang Yu waited silently for her to speak. He was at her mercy; he decided to see what she wanted to do before making any plans.
"Wang Yu, is it? I felt some sympathy for you during our conversation just now, but you have maliciously deceived me. What exactly are you trying to do?"
Wang Yu was taken aback. Seeing that Chang Xi's attitude had changed, he immediately began to think about where she had gone wrong.
His information about the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect is not top secret, but it is not something Changxi can find out in a short time. At most, she can verify the part about his experience in the Taihu Spirit Realm.
This part is all true; there can't be any problem.
After a short while, Wang Yu suddenly realized where the problem lay. Calming down a bit, he said...
"When traveling, caution is the way for independent cultivators to survive. I, Wang, have been cultivating in the Demon Realm for many years. I'm sure you, Fairy, have heard about how harsh the environment there is."
"If I were to reveal everything about myself to any powerful cultivator I met, wouldn't I be dead by now?"
That makes sense, but once Changxi became suspicious, she wouldn't let things slide. The secrets of the Black Mountain Demon Land go far beyond that.
"I am a member of the Sword Sect, upright and honest, and have judged no fewer than a hundred heretics, and have never made a wrongful conviction."
"Even if you practice unorthodox methods, we haven't used any fabricated charges against you, so why deceive us maliciously?"
Wang Yu smiled.
"If you deceived me into admitting it, where does the malice come from?"
"The only thing Wang lied about was that he didn't want to tell the fairy where I was going after my visit home. Is that wrong? Wouldn't everyone in the world be honest with each other?"
Changxi choked, her mind just now only thinking about being deceived. She felt bad because Wang Yu might have a secret related to this incident.
After a brief argument, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
A moment later.
Whether she had come to a realization or not, Changxi changed to a calm tone and fulfilled her previous promise.
"You want to know why we've come here? Now I'll tell you."
Wang Yu simply sat down on a rock nearby. He couldn't leave anytime soon; he would have to wait until the matter with the Sword Sect was resolved and he was cleared of suspicion before he could have a chance to leave.
It's better to let her explain things clearly; that way, you'll have a better understanding of the situation.
"In recent years, there have been many cases of missing girls in the cities near Black Mountain Pass. At first, it only happened to those with low aptitude for immortal cultivation, but later it gradually spread to ordinary women."
“The number of missing persons in Shihu City, Qianqiu City, Lingxi City, etc., has been increasing year by year. On the day of the spirit test this year, the number exceeded ten thousand.”
At this point, Changxi snorted coldly.
"In the past few years, I have been sweeping away evil and eliminating wickedness. The lords of more than a dozen cities centered around Dingshan City have all been killed by me, and their entire families have been exterminated. My final target was the Black Mountain Demon Land, where all the missing girls of the past ten years have been sent."
As he listened, Wang Yu learned the whole story. While his doubts were dispelled, he also felt annoyed.
Several years ago, after the slave-catching team left Black Mountain Pass, six of them went north to carry out a secret mission. Later, he learned that it was related to the incident involving the young girl.
When he was looking for a secluded place to cultivate, besides the fact that the Dry Leaf Swamp was not suitable for people to live in for a long time, he also wanted to avoid encountering these people, since his idea of waiting for them to come to him at Stone Lake had failed.
Looking back now, there were only two possibilities for them going north.
First, they deceived their own people and treated it as a top-secret mission.
Secondly, there were informants at Heishan Pass keeping watch, and they were deliberately misled.
Of the two guesses, the latter is clearly more likely; he's been misled! So frustrating!!
Changxi, who was carefully observing Wang Yu's facial expression, suddenly asked, "You know about this?"
Wang Yu shook his head decisively.
"No, I don't know, but I can roughly guess that it was the work of the Hehuan Demon Sect. Only they would have such a great need for women. However... I don't understand why they need mortal women."
"well--"
Changxi repeatedly used her Clear Sword Heart to sense whether Wang Yu's words were true or false, but ultimately gained nothing.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "This matter is not top secret, so it won't hurt to tell you."
"Oh?" Wang Yu was extremely curious. What secrets was hidden in this Black Mountain Demon Land?
"A 'demon' is imprisoned in the Black Mountain Demon Land. It is said that it was sealed here in the distant past, and its name is—[Desire]!"
"It is said that the earliest form of the Hehuan Demonic Path in this world was a group of people who held an 'Uncensored Assembly' in the sealed place of the Black Mountain Demon Land, where they engaged in lewd acts."
"It aroused the power of the [Desire Demon], whose demonic thoughts penetrated the heart, and it passed down the Demonic Path of Union, which is revered by all demonic cultivators who follow the Path of Union as their ancestor, the progenitor of the path!"
Wang Yu was surprised, not expecting there to be such a story. He was not unfamiliar with the concept of "demon", after all, the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect was founded on the remnants of the ancient blood demon.
"So the Hehuan Demonic Sect wants to rescue their founder?"
"save?"
Changxi chuckled.
"They dare not."
What does that mean?
Before demonic cultivators reach the Nascent Soul stage, they are all outsiders lingering outside the gate. They have not cultivated demonic energy and are not true demonic cultivators. Demonic energy is a power that is higher than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"These imprisoned and sealed demons are the legendary immortal true demons. Even Nascent Soul cultivators cannot kill them. Over countless years, they have long since gone mad. Once released, their first act is to slaughter those who save them."
Wang Yu fell silent instantly; they were a group of madmen who had lost their minds.
"Since that's the case, the reason why the Hehuan Demon Sect kidnaps women is quite clear. Why don't you just go directly to the sealed land? Why bother searching everywhere?"
Upon hearing this, Changxi glanced at him in surprise.
"It seems you really don't know."
"Black Mountain is vast, and the cave that seals [Desire] is constantly moving within it. Only the secret techniques of the Hehuan Demon Sect can locate it."
"All we know is that the sealed cave is located on a black mountain peak a thousand meters high. It is barren and covered with blood-red, ecstatic demonic gold, which is a supreme treasure of demonic lust."
At this point, the explanation is already quite clear.
