The Demon Sealing Mountain was the largest mountain range on the Demon Sealing Continent. This mountain range was named because it was closest to the seal of the Demon Sealing Continent.
At this moment, a simple pavilion stood on an empty space in the Demon Sealing Mountain. At the center of the pavilion was a chair carved with dragons and phoenixes, and a beautiful woman was sitting on it. Just by looking at her appearance, she was no different from a human. The only difference was that this woman had a head full of lustrous and beautiful purple hair.
She was the current patriarch of the Ling Clan on the Demon Sealing Continent. She commanded many demons and was one of the greatest forces on the Demon Sealing Continent. Her name was Ling Jin.
Although her identity was incomparably noble, there was a trace of unresolvable worry on Ling Jin's brow. It was not for anything else, but for how the Ling Clan should choose their future path.
Even among the demons of the Heaven Region, the Ling Clan had a relatively high status and an extremely powerful force. Because of this, the Ling Clan had been the leader of the demons that came to the Heavenly Sword Continent ten thousand years ago. This was an opportunity that the Ling Clan had fought for. The pavilion closest to the water enjoyed moonlight first. If they could successfully obtain the Heavenly Sword left behind by the human Heavenly Emperor, it would most likely fall into the hands of the Ling Clan.
Unfortunately, the heavens did not grant their wishes. In the end, the mission failed, and they were trapped on the tiny Demon Sealing Continent for ten thousand years. Such a long period of time was enough for many things to happen. The greatest impact on the Ling Clan was the problem of reproduction.
The fertility of the Heavenly Demon Clan was extremely low in the first place. If they were in the Heaven Region, there would obviously be enough time and partners for them to reproduce steadily.
However, on the tiny Demon Sealing Continent, the number of clansmen of the Ling Clan was rather limited. Even the number of clansmen of the Heavenly Demon Clan was limited. In order to maintain the purity of their bloodline, they could not casually mate with other demons.
As a result, after ten thousand years, the number of clansmen of the Ling Clan rapidly decreased. In Ling Jin's generation, there were only three clansmen left. Apart from her, the other two were her uncles. There was no one of the same generation as her.
So, the problem was, how could she continue to pass on the Ling Clan?
Right now, there were only two choices in front of her. The first was to mate with other members of the Heavenly Demon Race. The second was to mate with other Devil Races such as the Winged Demon Race, the Horned Demon Race, or the Winged Demon Race.
Ling Jin didn't even need to think about the second option. If they were to mate with other demons, the Heavenly Demon Race's bloodline would no longer be pure, and they might even lose the innate talent that came with the bloodline inheritance.
After giving up on the second option, the only option left was to marry the other members of the Heavenly Demon Clan. In fact, this was a very normal thing. Even in the Heaven Domain, the Ling Clan would often marry other clans.
However, things weren't as simple as they seemed. Apart from the Ling Clan, the Xuan Clan was the only Heavenly Demon Clan left on the Demon Sealing Continent.
The Xuan Clan was as powerful as the Ling Clan, but unlike the Ling Clan, the Xuan Clan had more clansmen. The reason why the Xuan Clan was so much more prosperous than the Ling Clan was because thousands of years ago, the Xuan Clan had chosen to mate with other Devil Races.
Although this destroyed the pure bloodline of the Heavenly Demon Race, there would always be clansmen who succeeded in inheriting the Heavenly Demon Race's bloodline. Just like that, the Xuan Clan chose descendants with the Heavenly Demon Race's bloodline from countless descendants as heirs and passed it down step by step until now.
However, even if the descendants of the Xuan Clan still possessed the Heavenly Demon Race's bloodline, their bloodline was no longer pure. Their bloodline would more or less carry the bloodline of other races. In truth, they were just hybrids.
It was precisely because of this that Ling Jin was unwilling to mate with the Xuan Clan. Otherwise, what would be the point of the Ling Clan's tens of thousands of years of persistence in passing down the pure bloodline?
However, Ling Jin seemed to have no other choice now … As for her two uncles, they were split into two factions. Second Uncle Ling Shang was extremely supportive of Ling Jin's union with the Xuan Clan. He had given Ling Jin advice many times and had even set an example by marrying two women from the Xuan Clan. However, they had yet to produce a child.
As for Third Uncle Ling Yu, although he did not agree too much, he did not object too much either. He only said that everything was up to Ling Jin.
Thinking of these things, Ling Jin became even more frustrated. Back then, the ancestors of the Ling Clan had insisted on inheriting the pure bloodline because they wanted to return to the Heaven Domain one day. If that happened, all their troubles would be easily solved. However, now that ten thousand years had passed, they were still trapped on this tiny Sealed Demon Continent.
In order to not think about these things, Ling Jin specially brought a group of subordinates out to hunt. She wanted to relax while hunting, but it seemed that it was not very effective.
"Sigh …" Ling Jin let out a long sigh.
"Commander, are you still thinking about the Xuan Clan's marriage proposal?" Seeing Ling Jin let out a long sigh, a blue-haired woman with a charming expression asked softly. Her name was Ling Rou, and she was Ling Jin's personal maidservant. As for her surname, it was given to her by Ling Jin when she was happy. She was not from the Heavenly Demon Clan, but the Succubus Clan.
The Succubus Clan looked very similar to the Heavenly Demon Clan, but they also had some characteristics of the Feather Clan and the Yao Clan, so it was relatively easy to tell them apart. The Succubus Clan's reproductive ability was comparable to the Human Clan, and almost all of them were handsome men and beautiful women. However, their greatest flaw was that they did not have the ability to cultivate at all. In a place like the Heaven Region where the strong were respected, they did not have any status. However, they were the most popular choice of servants. Let alone the Demon Clan, even the other clans, such as the Human Clan and the Spirit Clan, liked to capture or purchase Succubus Clan members as servants.
Hearing Ling Rou's question, Ling Jin's lips curled into a mocking smile, "That's right, the Heavenly Demon Bloodline of the Xuan Clan is already very thin. In recent years, the chances of suitable descendants appearing have become lower and lower. If not for the fact that they are afraid of the Ling Clan's strength, I'm afraid they would have forcefully captured me to strengthen the bloodline of their descendants long ago."
"The Xuan Clan's ambitions are growing larger and larger. From Xiao Rou's point of view, not only do they want to obtain you, they also want to control the Ling Clan's forces. Commander, you must not let them do as they wish." Ling Rou said. She had been by Ling Jin's side all year round, and Ling Jin did not avoid her, so she knew these things very well.
"I know all of this." Ling Jin said indifferently, "However, what other choice do I have?"
Hearing this, Ling Rou did not say anything. What she had said before was just to please Ling Jin. In reality, she also knew that Ling Jin had no other choice.
At this moment, another two incomparably beautiful and enchanting Succubus Clan maidservants leisurely walked over. They bowed to Ling Jin and replied, "Commander, Captain Yi Tianyuan, who had gone out to investigate, has returned. He said that he has great news to report to Commander."
Hearing this, Ling Jin raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, "Great news? Let him come over. "
