A world doesn't fall apart all at once.
In the past, when the spiritual energy of the continent was abundant, although there were occasional conflicts in the six realms, it was still relatively peaceful.
At least everyone has food to eat.
After that battle, the spiritual energy on the continent gradually weakened, and resources began to be distributed unevenly, which led to the phenomenon of large sects bullying small sects.
After asking these questions, Sheng Ning took a step back.
Seeing the surprise flash across Li San's eyes, she raised her eyebrows and revealed a 'I knew it' expression on her lips.
Of the three races of demons, monsters, and evil cultivators, the evil cultivator lineage disappeared due to the disappearance of the Evil Emperor.
The new leader of the demon clan is in a precarious position.
That's why the Demon Clan became the sole dominant force.
Now that Sheng Ning had suddenly asked this question, Li San's astonished expression was caught by her before he could even hide it.
The unsightly, painful expression that had been caused by the itching medicine and the burning of the Netherworld Fire was now completely gone.
He stared blankly at Sheng Ning for a long time before finally uttering, "Who are you?"
Sheng Ning's gaze remained fixed on him the entire time.
Hearing this, she curled her lips into a smile and said, "Didn't I tell you? I'm the father you can't have."
Li San didn't understand the meaning of 'father'; he only knew that Sheng Ning was teasing him.
Just as he was about to do something to avoid the problem, he saw several fireballs burst out from around Sheng Ning in front of him.
The latter smiled slightly at him, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "It's alright if Brother Li doesn't want to answer."
"My fire has no malicious intent; it just likes to wander through the meridians of the body. Brother Li San shouldn't mind, right?"
Upon seeing the fireball, Li San's body stiffened considerably.
He pursed his lips, intending to turn his head away and pretend to be stupid.
However, Sheng Ning didn't have that much patience. The moment he turned his head, the fireball beside her landed right in front of him.
Under Li San's wide-open eyes, he watched helplessly as the fireballs entered his body through his mouth and nose.
In the blink of an eye, an even stronger burning sensation than before swept over his entire body.
"ah--!!!"
The entire underground plaza is extremely large.
Li San's roar startled all the demon cultivators and beasts in the stands, causing them to involuntarily shrink back.
What kind of roar was that?
Despair, collapse, helplessness, pleading...
Just by hearing his roar, everyone could feel his pain.
The instigator, Sheng Ning, seemed completely oblivious.
She looked Li San up and down, then smiled slightly at him, "Well? Brother Li San, are you ready to tell the truth?"
Large beads of cold sweat kept sliding down Li San's forehead.
And the horns growing from the top of his head, whether it was the people's imagination or not, seemed to be emitting a faint blue light.
The pain Li San was experiencing could no longer be described simply as suffering.
He kept taking deep breaths, and his face turned as pale as paper.
Even doing so cannot alleviate one's own pain.
His ears were ringing. After a while, he finally realized what Sheng Ning had said, and he struggled to lift his head, his lips, which he had bitten until they were bloody, parted slightly.
"I said, I, I am the Demon Lord..."
"I swear, I really controlled the fire and didn't kill him!"
Two different voices rang out one after the other.
Sheng Ning watched helplessly as Li San tilted his head in front of her, and then Ye Si's explanation rang in her ears.
At the same time, Lu Jingshen and Fang Chong also came to Sheng Ning's side.
"Dead?" Fang Chong frowned.
“He’s dead.” Lu Jingshen stepped forward and, after confirming that Li San was dead, retreated to his junior sister’s side.
Ye Si also emerged from Li San's body, and a fireball glowing with a ghostly blue light flew in front of Sheng Ning. "I didn't kill him. I didn't kill him."
“I remember it. You said I forced him, so you would help me revive the evil cultivation lineage. I’m not stupid enough to kill him.”
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning raised her hand and flicked it against the fireball. She smiled and said, "I never said that you killed him."
Although Ye Si was a bit arrogant, he was still the Evil Emperor in his lifetime.
He understands simple principles like prioritizing and understanding the big picture.
How could he possibly kill Li San simply because the demon race and evil cultivators had a grudge?
Sheng Ning hasn't gotten all the information yet.
After hearing what she said, Ye Si silently breathed a sigh of relief.
"When I was inside Li San's body just now, I never got very close to the location of his demon core."
"But I felt it. Just now, a demonic energy inexplicably rushed into his body, bypassed me, and shattered his demonic core."
Not only the demon pill, but also Li San's heart.
Sheng Ning nodded, then narrowed her eyes and looked in the direction where her senior brother had just left.
It was still dark there, and there seemed to be nothing there.
Just now, a wisp of demonic energy quietly darted out, entered Li San's body, and exploded his demonic core and heart.
In this way, the demon race's secret was preserved.
"In that case, Junior Sister, we still haven't gotten an answer to your question: Which sect is colluding with the Demon Clan?"
The thought that a sect might collude with the demons and launch a surprise attack from both inside and outside would leave them with no time to resist.
Lu Jingshen's expression was rather unpleasant, especially when he saw the black robe on Li San's body, a sudden thought flashed through his mind.
He abruptly turned his head to meet his junior sister's gaze, and said, "Could it be...?"
Sheng Ning took in his every move.
Seeing the shock that flashed in his eyes, she shook her head. "It's not certain yet; we still need to find evidence."
If even my junior sister said so, then it's pretty much true.
If it really is those cultivators, then wouldn't the entire continent be...?
The scene of devastation and death on the continent in the future was already etched in his mind.
Lu Jingshen's expression suddenly turned ugly. The way he frowned, coupled with his large physique, made people feel uneasy.
Fang Chong, who was standing nearby, was getting increasingly anxious listening to the cryptic conversation between his senior and junior brother.
He ran to Lu Jingshen's side and whispered, "Fellow Daoist Lu, who is he?"
Even Ye Si ran up to him, and his mouth, which had just closed, started babbling again, "Who is it? Who is it? You can't keep all the gossip to yourself."
Lu Jingshen glanced at the man and the fireball, and then his gaze fell on Li San before he let out a long sigh.
"The world is about to change."
Fang Chong, Ye Si: ......
"Who is it anyway?! Who betrayed the human race?! Don't you know that if you only say half a sentence, you'll never have a spouse in your old age?!"
Lu Jingshen did not reply.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his senior brother returning to the square alone, and immediately went to greet him, "Senior brother, are you alright?"
