The yellow-robed guard was startled for a moment before he nodded in agreement. He glanced at the other guard before turning and running into the manor.
About the time it took to brew half a cup of tea later, a middle-aged devil cultivator clad in bright yellow robes walked out of the manor. He was also a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant, and as he surveyed Liu Ming, a look of bewilderment could be seen on his face.
"Esteemed guest, I was unable to welcome you earlier, please don't take offense." The yellow-robed middle-aged man soon revealed a smile as he laughed.
"What are you talking about, it's me who took the liberty to pay a visit." Liu Ming politely replied.
The yellow-robed middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief in his heart when he saw the amicable tone in Liu Ming's voice.
"According to the servant's report, Fellow Daoist is here to pay a visit to the Clan Lord of my clan. Please enter." The yellow-robed middle-aged man laughed as he led the way.
Liu Ming's countenance was calm as he followed behind.
As the two of them entered the manor, the entire manor appeared before Liu Ming's eyes.
The manor of the Yan Clan was built in a calm and sedate style, with black bricks and green tiles. On the surface, one could faintly see some vibrant colors. Liu Ming used his divine sense to probe the manor, but to his surprise, he found it hard to penetrate it. Evidently, there was some sort of special restriction placed on it.
After a few turns, the two of them soon arrived at a spacious and bright main hall.
In the main hall, a white-browed old man was currently seated on the main seat, quietly drinking tea.
Upon hearing the sound of footsteps, the old man inclined his head and glanced over. His gaze met with Liu Ming's, and as they exchanged a glance, a look of bewilderment appeared in the old man's eyes.
"Sir, you must be the Clan Lord of the Yan Clan, right? My name is Liu Ming, I took the liberty to pay a visit today." Liu Ming clasped his fists as he spoke.
"Liu, there's no need to be so polite. Please feel free to take a seat." A warm smile appeared on the white-browed old man's face as he pointed to a chair beside him.
The yellow-robed middle-aged man sat down next to Liu Ming. Not long after, a maid served two cups of spirit tea to Liu Ming and the yellow-robed middle-aged man.
After a few polite words, the white-browed old man put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Please forgive my poor eyesight, but I don't seem to have met Liu before. Your surname is Liu. Are you a descendant of the Liu clan of the Long province?"
The Liu Clan of the Long Prefecture referred to one of the four great clans of the Myriad Devil Continent, the Liu Clan. The power of the Liu Clan could be found all over the Myriad Devil Continent, but their roots were located in the Long Prefecture, hence the name Long Prefecture's Liu Clan.
"Hehe, I am not a member of the Long Province's Liu Clan. I have no other business here today. I am only here to retrieve an item on behalf of someone." I smiled.
The white-browed elder was startled when he heard this.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed and he raised his hand. A golden light flashed in his palm as a faint golden talisman appeared. Runes swirled around the talisman, faintly forming the character for 'Demon'.
The white-browed elder's expression changed drastically when he saw the golden talisman in Liu Ming's hand. He stood up in shock.
The yellow-robed middle-aged man's expression changed slightly when he saw the white-browed elder's expression. He then turned his gaze to the golden talisman in Liu Ming's hand and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
The white-browed old man carefully looked at the golden talisman in Liu Ming's hand. After a long while, he retracted his gaze and looked at Liu Ming with a fiery gaze.
Liu Ming calmly looked back at him. After a while, the white-browed elder took a deep breath and said to the yellow-robed middle-aged man, "Elder Xi, you can leave first. I have something to discuss with this Liu alone."
The yellow-robed middle-aged man was startled when he heard this. He glanced at the white-browed elder and nodded. Then, he turned around and walked out of the hall.
The white-browed elder saw the yellow-robed middle-aged man walk out of the hall. He waved his hand towards the two sides of the hall and cast two black spells. Black spiritual inscriptions suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls, faintly forming a black spell formation.
After doing this, the white-browed elder nodded slightly at Liu Ming and said, "Please wait here for a moment, Liu. I will be back soon."
After saying this, the white-browed elder hurriedly walked into the hall through the door.
Liu Ming turned his gaze and looked at the black restriction around him. He discovered that it was just an ordinary partition restriction. His expression relaxed slightly and he sat down peacefully.
After a few minutes, the white-browed elder walked back. He held a square wooden box in his hand and carefully placed it on a table in the hall.
The elder bowed to the wooden box before opening it. A golden light flashed and a golden talisman flew out.
It was exactly the same as the golden talisman in Liu Ming's hand.
In the next moment, the two golden talismans flew into mid-air at the same time. They seemed to be responding to each other and suddenly emitted a bright light.
With a "swoosh", the two talismans flew together and slowly fused together.
Seeing this scene, Liu Ming raised his brows and revealed a trace of surprise on his face. On the other hand, the white-browed elder's body shook and revealed an excited expression.
Soon, the two golden talismans fused into one and turned into a palm-sized talisman. It slowly rotated in mid-air.
The old man with white eyebrows took a deep breath and put the golden talisman into his hand with a respectful look. He put it into the wooden box, bowed deeply to him again, then turned his head to look at Liu Ming, and asked,
"Is Liu Senior Demonic Sky's descendant or disciple?"
Liu Ming stared at the old man with white eyebrows and said without blinking, "I'm not the descendant of Senior Demonic Sky, nor am I his disciple. If I must say, I have been guided by him several times. I am here to retrieve the item that he placed in the Yan Clan. "
"I wonder where Senior Demonic Sky is now?" The white-browed elder muttered for a moment and asked.
I revealed a slight anger on my face, but I immediately shook my head and said in a deep voice, "I am only here to retrieve that item under Senior Demonic Sky's request. Senior Demonic Sky appears and disappears unpredictably. How would I know where he is now? "
"Don't blame me, Liu. I am not trying to get to the bottom of the matter. Back then, our Yan Clan encountered a great calamity. Fortunately, Senior Demonic Sky lent a helping hand and prevented our clan from being exterminated. In order to repay this kindness, our clan has been guarding an item for Senior Demonic Sky. This matter is of great importance, so I must be cautious. "The white-browed elder said apologetically.
Liu Ming's eyes flashed with a strange expression. Countless thoughts flashed in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face.
He said indifferently, "Since that is the case, I wonder if the true demon blood is still in the Yan Clan?"
"That's right. The true demon blood is indeed still in the clan's collection. Since Liu has this talisman, it is enough to prove your relationship with Senior Demonic Sky. If you want to take it away, I will offer it to you with both hands. "The white-browed elder nodded.
Liu Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he nodded noncommittally.
The white-browed elder waved his hand, and there was a white jade box in his hand. There were several talismans stuck tightly on the box's lid.
He gently stroked the jade box, and the talismans on it were quickly removed. When the lid was opened, there was a nearly transparent diamond-shaped crystal.
"Fellow cultivator, please confirm it." The white-browed elder turned his hand and placed the jade box in front of Liu Ming.
Liu Ming didn't stand on ceremony. He immediately took out the crystal from the box and placed it in front of him.
The crystal was sparkling and translucent, and it was glowing with a pale red radiance.
Looking through the crystal, a drop of bright red blood the size of a fingernail was sealed in the crystal. Even through the crystal, he could still feel the pure demonic qi that it exuded.
"Yes, it is indeed the true demon blood." Liu Ming nodded, put away the crystal, and said faintly.
"Since the matter is over, I have other things to do. I won't stay in your clan anymore." Liu Ming immediately stood up and bid farewell.
The white-browed elder tried to persuade Liu Ming to stay, but it didn't work. He released the enchantment outside the hall and personally sent Liu Ming out of the Yan Mansion.
He looked at Liu Ming's figure in the distance. After a while, he seemed to have made a decision in his heart. He stomped his feet, turned around, and walked into the hall.
After Liu Ming left the Yan Mansion, his body turned into a black light and soared into the sky. He flew for thousands of miles before he slowly stopped. He took out the diamond-shaped crystal that sealed the true demon blood and stared at it.
At this moment, a black gas flashed on his body, and Mo Tian's figure emerged. He looked at the crystal behind Liu Ming and said slowly, "Alright, you have got the true demon blood now.
"Well, now that you have obtained the True Demon Blood, you just need to find a place with dense Demon Qi and set up an Essence Drawing Array. Then, I can cast a spell to integrate the True Demon Blood into your body."
"Senior is really far-sighted. Tens of thousands of years ago, you actually thought of storing a secret treasure like the true demon blood in such a place." Liu Ming seemed to be referring to something.
"I just did it casually back then. I didn't expect it to really come in handy today." Mo Tian's eyes flickered slightly, and he seemed to say casually.
Liu Ming nodded and didn't say much. He turned his hand to keep the true demon blood and took out the beast skin map to check.
"There is no need to look for other places. Just enter the East Reed Mountain Range from the Iron Saber Gorge and look for a demon source. If we are lucky, we might be able to find a true demon source. "Mo Tian's eyes flickered, and he turned into a black light and integrated into Liu Ming's body.
When Liu Ming heard this, he looked into the distance and couldn't help but have a thought.
Mo Tian seemed to have set up a lot of backup plans in the Ten Thousand Demon Continent. Be it the true demon blood or the clan he established, they wouldn't be done casually. There should be a plot.
Now that he and Mo Tian's divine soul were living and dying together, he had to be cautious. Otherwise, he might become a chess piece in Mo Tian's hands if he was careless.
However, from the looks of it, Mo Tian's actions didn't seem to be harmful to him. It was better to take one step at a time.
After he made up his mind, he immediately turned into a black rainbow and flew toward the Iron Saber Gorge.
With his current speed, it didn't take long for him to arrive near the Iron Saber Gorge.
The Iron Saber Gorge was dozens of miles wide, and there was a long river flowing rapidly below. The mountain walls on both sides were very smooth, as though they were really cut.
The depths of the gorge were dark and filled with a thick black mist. The East Reed Mountain Range in the distance was also shrouded in a faint black mist, making it look a little hazy.
This was only the periphery of the East Reed Mountain Range. Liu Ming didn't stay at the entrance of the gorge for long. He turned into a black light and flew toward the depths of the gorge.
