The sword was about to pierce the two of them.
Shen Ying suddenly raised her hand to block it. There was a series of cracking sounds as the sharp demonic sword suddenly broke into pieces. The other party was shocked, but her hand did not stop. Instead, she grabbed his hand.
The next moment, he felt as if the world was spinning. There was a loud bang in the room. The new Demon King had been smashed onto the ground. The demonic Qi on his body dissipated.
"Speak properly!"
The other party did not seem to feel any pain. He began to struggle crazily, still shouting, "Give it back to me, give it back to me, liar … you are all liars! Destroy, destroy you … "Suddenly, the demonic Qi that had just dissipated surged again. His entire body was wrapped up by the demonic Qi. Even his body seemed to be melting into the black Qi. It looked like … he was being swallowed by the demonic Qi.
"Eh?"
Seeing that the other party was about to be completely swallowed by the demonic Qi, Shen Ying frowned. She squatted down and pulled him up. Her eyes narrowed. The thick demonic Qi seemed to be driven away by light. It dissipated instantly. Even the demonic Qi on the other party's body disappeared.
Yu Hong's legs turned to jelly. She held onto the wall to stop herself from kneeling down. Was it an illusion? Why did it feel like there was an indescribably huge aura on the Sect Master at that moment?
Before she could think about it, she saw that the crazy Demon King had already fallen to the ground. There was no demonic Qi around his blue robe. But there was a familiar …
"Immortal Qi!" Yu Hong was shocked. How was this possible? Could there be people who practiced both immortal and demonic cultivation in this world?
The other party knelt on the ground. He seemed to be trying hard to stand up, but he had no energy at all. After the demonic Qi dissipated, his aura was so weak that it was almost invisible. He was weaker than an ordinary Earth Immortal. He looked like he was going to die the next moment. The crazed look in his eyes had disappeared. His eyes returned to their original black color. But he was still looking at the purple ball in Shen Ying's hand.
"Little Hong, do you have the pill that recovers immortal Qi?" Shen Ying suddenly turned to look at Yu Hong.
Yu Hong paused. Then she reacted and hurriedly nodded. "Yes!" She turned and picked up a bottle from the cabinet. She poured out a pill and handed it to the person on the ground.
The other party did not take it. Instead, he glared at Yu Hong.
Yu Hong didn't waste time talking to him and directly stuffed it into his mouth. In the next moment, the originally weak immortal Qi in his body began to slowly fill up, and his pale face also recovered a little.
"Master, he … he's not a demon?!" Looking at the changes in the other party's body, Yu Hong finally reacted. That was an elixir to replenish immortal Qi. A demon should not be able to withstand immortal Qi at all. Yet, he was recovering.
"Mm." Shen Ying nodded.
"But just now, his entire body was clearly filled with Devil Qi. Aren't only demons able to control Devil Qi?" Previously, he had clearly used Devil Qi, and even Lan Hua couldn't beat him.
"It's not an urge."
"Huh?" Yu Hong paused, not understanding what she meant.
"He's not the one controlling the demonic Qi!" Shen Ying thought for a moment, then added, "The demonic Qi is attacking him!"
"What …"
Shen Ying did not continue to explain. She sat down on a chair at the side and looked at the man on the ground lazily. "Alright, tell me your story."
The other party's expression stiffened. She did not know what he was thinking, but he suddenly smiled coldly at her, looking like he did not want to speak at all.
Shen Ying suddenly tossed the ball of purple Qi in her hand. "If you tell me a good story, I'll give this to you."
"You …" His eyes immediately stared at her hand. His whole body tensed up, and his expression became darker and darker. He seemed to be extremely angry, and also seemed to be desolate, and also seemed to be helpless after resisting. "What do you want to know?"
"What is this?" Shen Ying waved the ball of purple Qi in her hand, then turned to look at him. "And what are you?"
His eyes widened, and something flashed across them. "This purple Qi is my Dharma treasure. With it, I can cultivate both immortality and demonic. I just want to get back what belongs to me."
"Oh, I see!" Shen Ying immediately kept the purple Qi. Holding her chin with one hand, she looked at the man on the ground and narrowed her eyes. A moment later, she said, "Then let me change my question. Which plane did you come from?"
"…"

Lonemoon and Yi Qing only spent a day's time, and did not even meet with any resistance before they rescued the rest of the people from the sect. It had to be said that this new Demon King was quite a failure. It was also possible that he did not even consider governing the demonic world at all. But what exactly was his motive?
"Did he say?" Yi Qing looked at Lonemoon.
"He won't say anything?" Lonemoon shook his head and nudged the person beside him. "Shen Ying, are you sure that this new Demon King is also an invader?"
"I'm not sure." Shen Ying shook her head.
Lonemoon's expression darkened. "Then why are you asking me to ask?"
"His data is very strange." Shen Ying tilted her head. A moment later, she said, "Half and half."
"What do you mean?" What half and half?
"Half is the same as the immortals of this world, the other half … is abnormal."
There was such a thing. The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched. "He can't be a mixed-blood, can he?" An invader came over and had descendants or something like that.
"There are no mixed-bloods in this plane." Shen Ying broke his thoughts. "The plane belongs to only one person." Even Father Niu, who became an assistant, only changed the plane he belonged to. He could not belong to two planes at the same time.
"Then what's going on with this person?"
"I don't know." Shen Ying shook her head. This was the first time she had seen such a situation. After thinking about it, she turned her hand and took out that ball of purple gas. She could analyze it.
"This is what the new Demon King is looking for?" Lonemoon glanced at the ball of purple gas in her hand.
"I wonder what it is?" Yi Qing also asked.
"I don't know for now." Shen Ying shook her head. She thought of something and turned to look at Lonemoon. "Father Niu, did you find Little Black?"
Lonemoon faltered. He exchanged a look with Yi Qing. His eyes darkened. Then he replied, "No! We really did not sense his aura. I'm afraid … "He did not continue. In history, when a new Demon King was crowned, it must be when the original Demon King was already dead. Those Heavenly Demons probably already knew that Little Black was probably already dead.
"No." Shen Ying retorted. "That person can't kill Little Black."
"Why?" Lonemoon faltered.
Shen Ying did not answer directly. Instead, she asked, "Have you searched the treasure trove?"
"What?" Lonemoon faltered. "We went to save people, not to raid their houses. Why would we search their treasure trove …" He stopped mid-sentence. He suddenly understood what Shen Ying meant. That ball of purple gas was found in Yu Hong's body. When the new Demon King first caught her, he was only looking for that hairpin. That meant that the purple gas entered Yu Hong's body from that hairpin. And that hairpin was picked out by Little Black from the treasure trove. Little Black's disappearance could really be related to that treasure trove.
